On the way back, Julia and Roy whispered to each other.
"Mother Lilith seems to still have doubts. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used her magic to test you in the end!" Julia said.
Roy nodded. "That's for sure. After all, I'm only a high-rank demon. It's a little unbelievable that I could escape from Raphael's hands but only lose an arm! But from this point of view, it's precisely because Lilith knows Raphael's strength that she feels that it's impossible for me to steal the Red Sea Egg from him! "
Julia pondered for a moment and found that Roy's words did make sense. Lilith might even think that Roy had not even seen what the Red Sea Egg looked like and hurriedly fled back after entering the Charred Council. It was precisely because of this perfunctory approach that Roy only lost an arm.
Of course, this was not important now. What was important was that the Red Sea Egg was already in Roy's hands.
After seeing Lilith, Roy no longer needed to hide. He removed the limiter on his tail and restored his attributes to their peak state. Under Julia's surprised gaze, a thick stratum corneum grew all over Roy's body again, his muscles swelled, and his arms became the same again.
"You've … become much stronger again!" Julia said in surprise. "Your current magic power aura far surpasses that of high-rank demons. Have you already advanced to demon lord?"
"No!" Roy shook his head. "Although I've become much stronger now, it seems that I'm still a little far from being a demigod! If it's so easy to promote to demon lord, then it's impossible for there to be only a few demon lords in the entire Abyss. "
"That's true!" Julia nodded and asked curiously, "Then what level are you now?"
Roy could not answer this question. In fact, after becoming a high-rank demon, there was no longer a distinction between upper, middle, and lower ranks like low and middle-rank demons. But when Roy first promoted to high-rank demon, his combat strength was already stronger than many high-rank demons. If he was still divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks, he should have been in the middle high-rank before. But now, after the Fusion, his strength had skyrocketed, and he had already surpassed the upper high-rank!
If he really had to use a suitable term to describe his current strength, it should probably be 'quasi-demon lord'!
In other words, he only lacked an opportunity to promote before he could truly become a demon lord …
In addition to having demigod-level power, the so-called demon lord needed to have at least the power to tear through space! As long as he could achieve this, it was possible for him to enter the rift worlds at the bottom of the Abyss, or small worlds!
It was said that these small worlds were separated from the Abyss itself. Many of these small worlds had environments suitable for demons to live in, and there were also many monsters and demons living in them. Only by cleaning these small worlds, establishing their own rule, and becoming an overlord could they truly be called a demon lord!
This method of occupying territory was different from the situation when Roy drew a territory in the Abyss. In small worlds, demon lords could set rules arbitrarily, and the demons and monsters living in the world had to follow the will of the demon lord.
Moreover, after reaching the demon lord level, even if the demon king wanted to recruit them, he had to pay a price and even had to respect their opinions. To put it bluntly, this relationship was like the relationship between the kings of the human world and the great nobles. Demon lords were great nobles and were loyal to the demon king. When the king wanted to start a war, he could recruit the nobles to fight. But normally, how the nobles managed their territories was the business of the nobles, and even the king could not interfere.
Therefore, if Roy wanted to promote to demon lord now, in addition to continuing to increase his strength, he also needed to start understanding some knowledge about space magic.
When he realized this, Roy secretly rejoiced that his idea of diversifying his strength was completely correct. If he had continued on the path of a frost demon, he might have become very strong, but in fact, the path to promoting to demon lord had already been closed to him.
At the end of the day, becoming stronger was just a matter of having fewer weaknesses, making it harder for others to defeat him.
For example, everyone knew that Lilith was a succubus and was good at charm magic, but in reality? Judging from how she helped Roy repair his broken arm, she also grasped amazing time magic! Time magic was a relatively unpopular and profound magic. Not only did it require incomparably powerful magic power to drive, but it also required profound knowledge. How could ordinary succubi do this?
Of course, there was a way for Roy to control the power of space and time, but this meant that he needed a large number of souls to exchange with the system.
After entering this Darksiders world, Roy had plundered a lot of souls. But as the End War continued, it became more and more difficult to obtain the souls of ordinary humans in this world. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of demon armies spread across every corner of this world and divided up a large number of souls. Even so, a considerable number of souls still dissipated and fell into the Kingdom of Death for reincarnation. The largest number of souls in Roy's hands was obtained from trading with Fury, one of the Four Horsemen.
Therefore, Roy was now considering whether to return to the Abyss.
Indeed, the good things in this world were not limited to souls. There might be many other things, such as the Red Sea Egg that Roy had obtained or the broken Armageddon Sword. These items, which could be called divine artifacts, were definitely good things, but it was not easy for Roy to obtain them. This world was a high-level high-magic world, and there were many demon king-level big shots. It was definitely not easy for Roy to snatch food from them.
Roy had already obtained a Red Sea Egg, so he was not greedy and planned to stop while he was ahead.
Therefore, this time, Roy and Julia did not return to the castle where they lived but flew west, planning to go back to find the alternate space where the Abyss Outpost was and then return to the Abyss through the Abyss Outpost.
However, Julia was a little hesitant about Roy's decision.
After all, she was a member of Samael's personal guard and a fallen angel that Samael had personally created. Although she had accepted the fact that Samael was sealed during this period of time, the concept of loyalty in her mind made it difficult for her to abandon the sealed Samael and return to the Abyss.
After she said this to Roy, he understood very well. Floating in the air, Roy pondered for a while and said, "How about this? Let's go back to Samael's sealed place and see if there's a way to remove the loyalty contract between you and Samael."
Of course, Roy wanted to pull Julia to his side completely. He was about to become a demon lord, and he needed at least some subordinates who were loyal to him. Julia was Roy's partner, and she was one of his natural subordinates. As long as he could think of a way to get Samael to completely transfer Julia to him, it would be fine.
Therefore, Roy planned to find Samael first. He did not intend to participate in the plans and arrangements of the big shots. If he could pay a small price to get Samael to give up on Julia, it would be good. If Samael was unwilling, Roy was prepared to use the system to solve this matter.
After learning of Roy's plan, Julia was very happy. The two of them flew all the way to the city where they had just descended. Samael had fought the Destroyer there, so after he was sealed, the place where he was sealed was definitely there.
After flying for about three days, Roy and Julia returned to the original battlefield of the End War …
