Although he decided to wait, what he did not expect was that he had to wait for three years!
Yes, three years! Even though Roy knew that Fury might have gone to an alternate space with a completely different time flow from the main world, such a long wait still made him a little crazy.
In his words, if he could have children with Julia, then his children would be able to use magic in these three years …
However, what made Roy the most speechless was that Julia did not feel anything about the passage of these three years. Roy felt that it was very long, but Julia felt that it was just the blink of an eye. Every time Roy talked to her about time, she would always look at Roy in surprise. "It's only been three years. It's normal for Fury not to return in such a short time!"
"…" Every time this happened, Roy felt speechless.
Of course, he knew that to long-lived demons, three years was indeed very short. To make them feel that time was long, it had to be a hundred years.
Some demons could sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years until they were woken up by someone who didn't have eyes. The legends in the human world were all written in this way, and in a sense, this description was not exaggerated.
Since he understood this, Roy did not dwell on it.
During these three years, Roy did not stay idle. He brought Julia to find a place to stay and found a relatively intact human building as a residence. Then he enslaved a group of nearby low-level demons to collect souls for them.
Although the humans of this Origin World were almost extinct, this did not mean that there was no production of souls. After the nuclear weapons launched by humans exploded in various parts of the world, the nuclear winter effect was slowly weakening over time, so some animals and plants were slowly beginning to wake up. What was more ironic was that without the existence of their biggest natural enemy, the other creatures on this planet were reproducing better!
Even though there were a large number of demons entering this world, no matter how large they were, they could not compare to the original human population on this planet. After billions of humans were almost extinct, their demand for food in this world instantly reached its lowest point. Without the influence of human activities, the pressure on the survival of plants and animals immediately lessened.
In these three years, Roy had witnessed with his own eyes this world from the beginning of nirvana to becoming full of vitality again. However, the creatures that survived the nuclear winter had more or less mutated and evolved. They became larger and more strange, but even so, they were still creatures of this world. After a short adaptation period, a new food chain was forming.
If Roy were a poet or an artist, he might have been moved to tears by nature's self-adjustment ability. But unfortunately, he was not. Although he was shocked, he felt that it was natural.
When he was a human in his previous life, Roy did not feel anything. But now that he had become a demon and looked at humans from another perspective, Roy did not know how to evaluate them. How should he put it? Humans were great creatures! They could use thousands of years to transform nature step by step, eventually becoming the overlord of the food chain, and create a brilliant history and culture. But at the same time, human beings were so insatiable. They were like cancer cells, constantly reproducing, constantly destroying the balance of nature.
It was not that Roy did not stand on the side of humans. In fact, even humans knew that if this continued, they would destroy themselves, and there was no need for the End War at all.
They seemed to be aware of this, and it was because of this vigilance that there would always be all kinds of terrible disasters in the various movies and novels made by humans. However, because these movies and novels were made up by humans, the final outcome was almost always that humans won and survived …
However, this world was not a movie or novel. The appearance of angels and demons directly beat humans to the ground. The resistance and final victory that they imagined did not appear …
Without humans, the animals and plants on this planet became active again. Plants were nothing, but mutated animals had now become the best choice for demons to hunt souls. It seemed that because of the radiation mutation, the originally weak animal spirits of these animals had grown a lot stronger. Although they were still not comparable to human souls, it was better than nothing for demons.
However, due to the mutation, these animals, plants, and insects showed stronger combat strength than before, and even low-rank demons would become their hunting targets.
Not only that, but some animals also devoured the corpses of angels and demons who died in battle on the battlefield. As everyone knew, demon blood could infect other creatures. Similarly, angel blood had similar effects. Therefore, after these animals ate the flesh and blood of demons and angels, new changes appeared. As time passed, this world gradually began to have demonized creatures similar to the Abyss, as well as some light creatures that could use weak holy light power.
In just three years, this planet had become unrecognizable. If a person who had just entered this world saw these strange creatures and the strange landforms caused by radiation pollution, they would never have thought that this was Earth …
Roy and Julia occupied a territory and ordered the low-level demons to go out and hunt these mutated creatures every day. After the low-level demons brought back their souls, other than leaving a portion to reward them, he used the rest to cultivate magic power.
After becoming a high-rank demon, Roy found that the efficiency of using ordinary souls to make Magic Energy Growth Potions had greatly decreased. After condensing magic power, it was now very difficult to increase it.
Fortunately, Julia was by his side. Under her reminder, Roy changed the method of making Magic Energy Growth Potions.
He first used the Horadric Cube to synthesize the animal spirits he collected. After obtaining 'fallen souls' and 'noble souls', he used these two high-quality souls to make Magic Energy Growth Potions!
Originally, in the system, these two high-quality souls were used to create skills. At first, Roy thought that these two souls could only be used to create skills, but under Julia's reminder, Roy realized that his original thinking was wrong.
Julia said that high-level demons preferred to devour high-quality souls, which reminded Roy that, in fact, demons could devour all souls, be it ordinary souls, high-quality souls, holy souls, or evil souls!
In other words, there was no difference in the essence of souls. However, in the system, the utilization of higher quality souls was different.
Ordinary souls could be used in the system to create various items and provide Roy with magic power growth. Although high-quality souls could not be used to create items, they could create skills and provide magic power growth. As for holy souls and evil souls, they could not be used to create items or skills, but they could create life and still provide magic power growth.
However, Roy had tried devouring angel souls. Not only was the growth effect negligible, but it was also very unpalatable. This was because the positive emotional power of holy souls was condensed to the highest level, and it brought the least benefits to demons.
In other words, according to theoretical calculations, for demons, the magic power growth effect contained in souls should be like this: evil souls > fallen souls > noble souls > ordinary souls > holy souls!
For angels, this order might be reversed …
Evil souls could only be obtained by killing high-rank demons and above. For Roy, this was a very difficult way to get started because the higher the level of high-level demons, the fewer there were. Moreover, generally speaking, after becoming high-rank demons, there would be very little killing between them, so it was very difficult to rely on collecting a large number of evil souls to increase magic power.
Of course, Roy could actually think of a way to modify the Horadric Cube so that it could synthesize evil souls, but this synthesis would probably require a large number of ordinary souls.
Currently, the most efficient way for Roy to increase his magic power was to use fallen souls to make Magic Energy Growth Potions!
Therefore, after accumulating souls for a period of time, Roy changed the definition of Magic Energy Growth Potions so that he could use the fallen souls synthesized by the Horadric Cube to create Magic Energy Growth Potions.
Originally, the Horadric Cube could use 198 standard ordinary souls to create one fallen soul and one noble soul each. In total, ninety-nine standard souls could be combined into a high-quality soul. However, the animal spirits of mutated creatures could not compare to human standard souls, so after trying it out, he could use about one hundred and forty mutated animal spirits to synthesize a high-quality soul.
Roy could keep the synthesized noble souls to create skills in the future, or he could use them to make Magic Energy Growth Potions in the future. As for all the fallen souls, he used them to synthesize Magic Energy Growth Potions.
The results of the experiment were gratifying. If he devoured a fallen soul directly, he could increase his magic power by about 0.6, but the Magic Energy Potions made from the essence could increase this value to about 0.8. If he converted it to the Magic Energy Potions made from ninety-nine standard ordinary human souls in the past, it could only increase it by about 0.5. The difference in efficiency was 0.3!
Roy's current magic power was five thousand. If he wanted to double his magic power to ten thousand, it meant that he had to use more than six thousand fallen souls, which was about six hundred thousand ordinary souls.
And this was with the help of the Magic Energy Growth Potion. If he relied on devouring and digesting like other demons, he would need at least a million ordinary souls …
Roy finally knew why it took a long time for high-rank demons to promote to demon lord. It was because it was absolutely impossible to collect so many souls without the help of time …
Therefore, Roy became more and more expectant of the one million souls that Fury promised. He did not think much about it before, but now he suddenly realized how enormous the number of souls Fury could take out was. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a golden thigh.
