When he received a report from Benia that a large number of zombies and animals had appeared on the canyon plains outside, Roy was speechless.
In fact, from the beginning, Roy had a premonition that once the T-Virus was used, it might not be able to stop its spread, but he did not expect it to be so fast.
Of course, because this world was a high-magic world, the individual strength of the creatures living here was relatively strong, and perhaps their resistance to the virus would be higher. Especially those high-level creatures, the possibility of them being infected was relatively small. Moreover, the population density of this world was not too high, so it might not be easy to achieve a global spread. But no matter what, the spread of the T-Virus was always a crisis for this world.
However, Roy did not do anything about it. If the virus spread, so be it. Anyway, with his demon identity, even if he stopped the spread, the people of this world would not be grateful to him. On the contrary, as the T-Virus spread, the world would fear and revere him, the leader.
After experiencing so many worlds, he finally understood what was going on with creatures like demons. To be honest, for some worlds, even if demons did not come to destroy them, the people of these worlds would often court death themselves. In these thousands of worlds, survival and destruction were only a process of continuous evolution. In this process, demons and angels were nothing more than catalysts.
Roy knew that there was a true Creator in this world. Although he did not know where this Creator had gone, since he had left behind the demon race, this race had to fulfill the corresponding mission. What Roy was doing now was only fulfilling his duty.
He was a dedicated demon, and he had to love what he did …
Perhaps this world might be destroyed because of the spread of the T-Virus he created, but it was also possible that war would destroy their world before that. Who knew what would happen?
Perhaps the prophets of the Blind Brothers could see a little of the future through prophecy, but what did this have to do with Roy?
So after learning about this, Roy nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he did not say anything else and continued to study space magic in the library.
There were actually quite a lot of things that had accumulated. Although the mudslide triggered by Roy had buried Arantir's original undead army, as long as Cassandra dug out the stones above, those undead could still be used by Cassandra. But the premise was that Cassandra could obtain enough death power from Rafaro to promote. Otherwise, she would not be able to control so many undead armies.
Benia had finished inscribing the magic formation, and she could activate and open a Gate of the Abyss at any time to summon a large number of demons from the Abyss.
During this period, Roy also communicated with her and learned from her that her sister, the succubus Biara, was now disguised as Empress Isabel of Erathia, and the real empress was nowhere to be found. This might be a scheme of the demons, but Benia did not know too much. Instead, she specially learned about the situation of the demons in this world.
She told Roy that according to the rumors in this world, the origin of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, could no longer be verified. But it was actually wrong to say that demons were descendants of Urgash. In fact, the Dragon of Chaos was probably the first in this world to open a Gate of the Abyss and then connect to the Abyss. In order to fight Asha, Urgash had borrowed the power of the demons of the Abyss, and the demons coveted this world and reached an agreement with Urgash. They chose to be loyal to Urgash and signed a long-term demon contract with him to stay in this world forever without being expelled.
The so-called Hell of this world, Sheogh, was actually a stronghold established by the first batch of demons loyal to Urgash. For millions of years, as the demons gave birth to descendants in this world, the demons of Sheogh had already become the demons born and raised in this world. They could only be regarded as a branch of the Abyss demons, and even if these native demons wanted to return to the Abyss, they might not necessarily be able to because the Abyss would reject them.
These native demons did not have the protection of the Ouroboros Mark. Once they died, they would really die …
Because of this situation, the demons of Sheogh had been constantly declining. In the past, Sheogh still had demon king-level demons, but now, there were only demon lord-level demons. As a last resort, they could only seek help from their hometown and summon powerful demons from the Abyss to participate in the war.
Although Benia's sister, Biara, came from the Abyss, she had now joined the army of Sheogh demons and was now on the same side as Xeron and the others. After learning that Roy's goal was Xeron, she knew that her goal was actually the same as Roy's, so her suggestion to Roy was to take this opportunity to defeat the master behind Xeron and Biara, Demon Lord Kha-Beleth, and become the new demon lord.
When Benia made this suggestion, Roy was a little puzzled because he remembered what Solmyr had asked before he died, so he asked Benia if he needed any ritual to promote to demon lord.
Then Benia told Roy that this was a tradition passed down from Sheogh, and it was a ritual unique to this world. If he wanted to become a demon lord in this world, he had to challenge an existing demon lord. This rule might not necessarily be universal in the Abyss because there were still many unopened territories. If Roy became a demon lord, he could find a territory that belonged to him unless he took a fancy to the territory of another demon lord. In that case, he would naturally have to fight with the original owner. But if he found an ownerless land, he could directly make it his territory.
In other words, it was purely because this world was too small, and only Sheogh was suitable for demons to live in. Therefore, if the demons in this world wanted to become demon lords, they could only 'snatch a parking space' … After Benia explained for a while, Roy understood her intentions.
After Benia explained for a while, Roy understood her intentions. She was probably worried that after this incident, the various races of the Ashan world would unite to target Roy. After all, Roy had shown an immense threat in the battle of Dendera Fortress. But if they learned that Roy planned to promote to demon lord, they would realize that Roy might have a conflict with Kha-Beleth. Of course, the various countries were eager for the demons to have internal strife and fight each other until their brains came out. At that time, they would definitely loosen the ropes and sit back and watch Roy and Kha-Beleth fight.
It would be for the best if both Roy and Kha-Beleth suffered heavy losses. At that time, it would be equivalent to greatly damaging the strength of the demons, and the world of Ashan would welcome a long period of peace without worrying about demon invasions and disturbances. Even if they could not achieve this best outcome, no matter who won, the various countries would at most face one demon lord.
To Roy, the benefits were immense. If he lost to Kha-Beleth, of course, nothing could be said. But if he won, he would become the new demon lord and take over the entire Sheogh demon army. It was an enormous demon army, and there were many high-rank demons serving him. With this army, he could even start a war with multiple countries at the same time, so he was full of confidence.
Roy actually knew that if he wanted to kill that bastard Xeron, he would definitely have to touch Kha-Beleth's nerves. In other words, unless he immediately left this world and returned to the Abyss after killing Xeron, he would have to fight Kha-Beleth no matter what. Benia was now betting on Roy. Once Roy defeated Kha-Beleth and became demon lord, she would only need a word from Roy to kill her sister, Biara, and she could easily achieve it. Therefore, her suggestion was naturally for Roy's sake.
After waving his hand and letting Benia leave first, Roy temporarily put down the book in his hand and took out the Sword of Frost that he had obtained from Gelu.
Roy's current magic power was surging and abundant. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was no different from a demon lord, but only Roy knew that there was still a distance between him and that threshold. A true demon lord, the power of a demigod, Roy still felt a little blurry.
Now, he actually felt a little regretful. Back in the Darksiders world, the Lord of the Hollows had looked for him and said that he could lend his power to let Roy experience the power of a demon lord first. But at that time, because he felt that it was a big trap, Roy refused. He agreed verbally but did not take any action at all, so he could not experience the true power of a demon lord from the Lord of the Hollows.
Regret was regret, but if Roy had to choose again, he would still refuse.
Because he had confidence, confidence that he could complete this promotion by himself …
The Sword of Frost was an extremely powerful treasure in this world. In the past few days after obtaining this sword, Roy had taken the time to study it. His previous guess was right. This sword was an excellent item to break through his frost power to a lower temperature!
When he placed the Sword of Frost into the system space, the system automatically analyzed the attributes of the Sword of Frost for him. Apart from the sword hilt, the sword hilt, and so on, the essence of the Sword of Frost lay in the blade. In the attributes marked by the system, this blade was an Eternal Frost Crystal! This Eternal Frost Crystal was a very wonderful thing. According to the system, it would always absorb heat from the outside world, but the molecular motion inside it would always maintain a constant state of low-speed motion. In other words, it would never heat up and melt.
This was a product that exceeded common sense. Roy did not know how it was born, but it could be stimulated by magic power and infinitely expand the area where it absorbed heat from the outside world. This was why Gelu could create a world of ice and snow hundreds of kilometers away with a swing of his sword.
The temperature of the Eternal Frost Crystal had always been maintained at -253.4 ° C. This was the temperature measured by the system, and it was a constant value that would not change. In other words, in theory, if Roy could absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal, the temperature his frost magic power could create would easily reach this value.
Roy had always been aiming for absolute zero in the past, but he also understood that this might just be pure fantasy. In fact, the so-called absolute zero was only a theoretical extreme. Even human scientists, who proposed the concept of absolute zero, had never reached such a temperature under laboratory conditions! This extreme value could only be infinitely close.
Even if Daddy System was really so omnipotent that it could use souls to create such an extreme temperature, the number of souls it would consume would probably be unimaginable. The soul consumption that Roy had calculated might be wrong. The closer he got to this temperature extreme value, the exponential increase in the consumption. Not to mention millions, it might even be billions or tens of billions of souls!
Now, Roy could only create a temperature of -220 ° C with his magic power and Cryogenic Fate. If he wanted to consume souls to reach the temperature of -253.4 ° C of the Eternal Frost Crystal, he did not know how many souls he would have to consume. But if he could absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal, it would be equivalent to saving countless souls out of thin air, so he had to give it a try no matter what.
However, the troublesome thing was that it was precisely because of the characteristic of constant temperature that he had been constantly designing plans to absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal over the past few days …
