The airflow caused by the shock wave was still continuously blowing thick smoke and dust into the atmosphere. At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening. Even at night, the starlight and moonlight had disappeared.
Roy knew that this was caused by a large amount of dust gathering in the atmosphere. In the next few months, this dust would stay in the atmosphere and block all the light from the sun. During this period, because there was no sunlight radiation, the plants on the ground would wither and die in large numbers, leading to further damage to the ecosystem.
The temperature of the entire Earth would welcome a huge drop. Perhaps when the snowflakes fell, the dust in the atmosphere would fall to the ground bit by bit with the snowflakes. But this process was very slow, and before the sun could shine on the earth again, the nuclear winter would continue.
Roy held the Soul Attracting Flag and continuously injected magic power into it as he wandered around this city that had completely turned into ruins. Wherever he passed, sporadic souls were attracted and flew toward him.
These souls should be the human survivors hiding underground. They could have lived for a while longer, but they died because of this nuclear strike. After all, without a solid shelter, it was impossible to protect against nuclear radiation and high temperatures.
Roy knew that a large number of angels and demons must have died in this nuclear strike. But due to the special nature of the souls of angels and demons, it was impossible to obtain the souls of angels and demons if he did not catch them the moment they were exposed. The bodies of angels and demons might have burned to ashes in the high temperatures and shock waves, but their souls were protected by the Ouroboros Mark.
Of course, the dead angels and demons did not return to the Abyss or Heaven but resurrected in the Abyss Outpost and the White City. The alternate spaces opened by demon king-level demons or high-level angels had certain characteristics of the Abyss or Heaven, and they could be used as transit stations to resurrect angels and demons …
They only needed to rest for a while to repair their damage, and they would appear in this world again. They were only temporarily expelled and not truly killed, but humans did not understand this …
The temperature had already begun to drop, and Roy felt his magic power becoming active. At this time, compressing magic power became abnormally smooth and fast. Not only that, but Roy found that his body was experiencing a special kind of restlessness.
At first, Roy did not understand what was going on, but then he saw a high-rank demon!
This high-rank demon was an orthodox Abyss demon with red skin. In addition to a pair of curved demon horns on his head, there was also a sharp horn in the middle of his forehead. But perhaps because of the impact of the nuclear bomb explosion, half of his body had been burned, and rolled flesh and bones could be seen everywhere. Even one side of the wings on his back was broken.
After all, not every demon was as well-prepared as Roy …
However, even with such a serious injury, he was still not dead yet. His body was empty of magic power, but under his powerful self-healing ability, the rolling wounds were wriggling and gradually recovering.
This high-rank demon was squatting in a ruin and panting loudly. When Roy appeared, he immediately stared at Roy covetously. But Roy did not have the thought of taking advantage of him and only observed him from afar.
This was because Roy found that while this high-rank demon's injuries were gradually recovering, some kind of … mutation seemed to have happened!
On the burned half of his body, while the wounds healed, some strange tiny scales appeared. He definitely did not have these scales before. Comparing them to the other side of his relatively intact body, he understood that these scales that did not exist before were the mutations that Roy mentioned!
Wherever the superior devil's injuries healed, the scales would spread, forming a new layer of protective film.
It was not just this high-rank demon. When Roy continued to wander around and found some demons who were also recovering from serious injuries, he found that this mutation appeared on most demons!
Roy gradually understood that this was probably caused by the radiation after the nuclear bomb explosion!
Demons had always lived in the harsh environment of the Abyss. Not only did this cause demons to be strong individually, but it also made demons highly adaptable to high-risk environments. After all, those who did not adapt would definitely not survive. Now, because of the nuclear bomb explosion, the radiation in this city could be said to have reached a terrifying level. The bodies and cells of these demons who survived from serious injuries were exposed to this fatal radiation. If they did not evolve, they would die.
Therefore, their bodies spontaneously mutated and evolved to help them resist this fatal radiation.
The agitation in Roy's body cells was probably due to this. He had used the T-Virus in the past, and his body cells were close to perfection. In other words, they also had better evolution and adaptability. Now that he was wandering around the city, the radiation pollution he received was also very strong. Under the stimulation of this external environment, Roy's body was also undergoing some kind of change.
The evolution ability of demons was just like the saying, those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger!
On the contrary, the angels could not. Roy found some surviving angel soldiers in the ruins. But after careful observation, he found that these angel soldiers did not show the corresponding adaptation phenomenon. Under the intense radiation, these angel soldiers appeared extremely weak. Even if their bodies were not burned, large areas of ulceration had appeared …
When these angel soldiers found that they had been found by demons, although they wanted to resist, they found that they could not even pick up their weapons. When the nuclear bomb exploded, not only did it exhaust their magic power, but it also exhausted all their physical strength.
"The judgment of … justice will eventually come. You … you won't succeed …"
When Roy found a four-winged angel, he was also powerless to fight. He had been a captain-level figure before, leading other angel soldiers to fight against demons, but now he could only glare at Roy angrily and promote his slogan.
Before Roy could say anything, a voice suddenly came from behind him. "Ah! What a powerless oath! Isn't it? "
Roy was shocked. He looked back and found that it was a demon floating in the air behind him!
This demon was thin and had a pair of demon horns on his head, but his face was skeleton-like. A pair of sharp black claws were clasped together and rubbing against each other. Roy did not know if it was an illusion, but when he looked back at him, his skeleton-like face actually revealed a humble and fawning smile.
However, he clearly had powerful magic power fluctuations that did not lose to other high-rank demons …
"How … did you get behind me?" Roy looked at him warily and asked.
"Aha, don't be nervous!" The demon spread his hands. "My name is Vulgrim, a rift demon …"
Huh?! Roy sized him up carefully and finally remembered that this demon seemed to be the demon merchant who had traded with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! He actually appeared here?
However, what Roy did not expect was that Vulgrim was actually a rift demon!
Like frost demons, rift demons were also a rare race of demons in the Abyss. Rift demons were demons with special abilities. They could travel through the crevices of space and freely travel to various spaces through the crevices of space. Because of this special spatial ability, even though rift demons were rare, their reputation was very resounding in the Abyss.
Hearing what he said, Roy could understand why he could appear behind him silently.
"What do you want to do?" Roy first looked at Vulgrim, then at the four-winged angel in his hand, and suddenly realized. "You want the soul of this angel?"
"Of course!" Vulgrim rubbed his claws with a greedy expression. "But don't misunderstand. I don't want to snatch it from you. I still know the name of Demon Osiris. I just want to make a deal with you!"
