This really … surprised Roy.
At first, he thought that this was impossible. How could a demon open a Gate of Heaven? But after flipping through Xeron's memories, he found that it was true!
The Gate of the Abyss and the Gate of Heaven were ultimately just spatial teleportation magic. The only difference was that opening the Gate of the Abyss required a magic formation constructed with demon characters, while opening the Gate of Heaven required a magic formation constructed with angel characters.
After millions of years of continuous use by angels and demons, these two types of spatial gate magic had already become very, very mature. The patterns, words, and incantations needed to construct the magic formations had almost reached the point where they could not be changed. In layman's terms, it was simply a fool's operation. As long as the magic formations were engraved correctly, they could be activated and used with a little input of magic power.
This was probably the first type of spatial magic that angels and demons could come into contact with. Whether it was used forward or backward, it was very simple.
So in fact, as long as they had the intention and spent a little time, it was possible for angels and demons to learn the other party's spatial gate magic.
Of course, being able to learn it did not mean that anyone could use it because demon characters often contained dark power, and angel characters contained holy power. If demons rashly used angel characters, they would definitely be harmed by holy power. Similarly, when angels used demon characters, they would definitely be corroded by dark power. This was a huge restraint in attributes between the two races that were natural enemies. If one was not strong enough and rashly used the other party's characters, it would definitely not be good.
In addition, there was a very important problem. Because neither side was familiar with the situation in the other world, when opening a spatial gate, it would often produce random spatial coordinates. Before passing through the spatial gate, no one knew where it would link to the other world. Therefore, angels and demons without any strength would really be courting death if they wanted to go to the other's world.
In history, the war between angels and demons had lasted for an extremely long time, but neither side had been able to eliminate the other because neither side could destroy the other's nest.
In some times, it was not that there were no radical angels and demons who formed powerful expeditionary armies and directly attacked the other's world. But without exception, these so-called expeditionary armies all failed. Whether it was angels who wanted to destroy the Abyss or demons who wanted to attack Heaven, fighting in the other's territory naturally restrained them by the environment, and in the end, they all ended up being annihilated.
From this, it could be seen that it was not strange for angels or demons to open a spatial gate to the other's world. However, in order to use the other party's characters and magic to open a gate to the other's world, not only did one need to be proficient in space magic, but one also needed to have sufficient strength.
In the past, there were many cases of mutual invasions, but as time went on, such cases became rarer and rarer. In the current era, opening the door to the other side's world had gradually become a trial, a ritual.
Every time a high-rank demon wanted to become a demon lord, they would think of ways to learn space magic and prepare to open a Gate of Heaven independently. This was also why promoting to demon lord required understanding space magic.
After this demon felt that he was strong enough, he could open a Gate of Heaven under the witness of many demons and enter Heaven. Due to the repulsive force of the world, this Gate of Heaven opened by a demon would only last for a short period of time. What the demon had to do was play a 'survival game' in Heaven during this period of time. Only when the Gate of Heaven closed and he was pushed out would the ritual be considered complete.
When demons entered Heaven, angels would often sense it and come to expel and hunt them. Similarly, angels entering the Abyss would also attract a large number of demons to hunt them. Therefore, if one could open a gate to the other's world, enter for a period of time, kill an enemy in a siege, and then return unscathed, it would be regarded as a tremendous merit and glory!
In order to become a true demon lord, one had to have such merits in order to obtain recognition. Similarly, if angels promoted to six-winged to throne angels, they would also need such war medals.
After Roy understood the process of this ritual, he had always wanted to complain. In game terms, wasn't this just farming military merit points?
Although he complained, Roy still saw the dangers clearly. Yes, this ritual was actually very dangerous!
First of all, if demons wanted to enter Heaven, the moment they entered, they would be rejected by the entire Heaven. Just like how the Abyss was filled with countless darkness and flames, Heaven was definitely filled with countless holy light. The demons that entered would be attacked by the holy light at all times, and it could be said that their strength would be suppressed to the extreme.
Under such circumstances, they had to fight an endless stream of angels. One could imagine how much pressure they would face. In addition, they were natural enemies. If they accidentally died in battle, even the Ouroboros Mark would not be able to protect them. Their souls would immediately be captured and purified by the angels, and they would truly be completely annihilated.
No wonder the passing rate of the demon lord promotion ritual had always been so low. In Xeron's memories, among the hundreds of millions of demons in the Abyss, there were only a hundred or so demon lords …
Of course, when demons or angels were constantly fighting against the opposing attributes of the other world, they would also hone their strength. This would cause the demons or angels who successfully returned after completing the ritual to have their strength skyrocket, and they would finally achieve a true demigod body and become a true demon lord. This was the reward for returning alive … Therefore, for millions of years, even though they knew that the success rate was very low, there were still demons constantly attacking the Heaven World.
This was also why Xeron wanted to obtain Kha-Beleth's protection. He knew that it was impossible for him to pass the promotion ritual alone. He needed Kha-Beleth's source power to protect him and resist the omnipresent holy light so that he could retain the greatest combat strength when entering Heaven. Only then would he have hope of completing the promotion.
Seeing this, Roy asked Benia thoughtfully, "Benia, you've been in the Abyss for so many years. Have you encountered angels invading the Abyss?"
Hearing Roy's question, Benia was stunned for a moment before coming to a sudden realization. "Are you referring to the angel trial in Heaven? Yes, I have indeed encountered it. Although it was only once, it was about two hundred years ago. An angel opened a Gate of the Abyss, and it happened to open about three hundred kilometers west of the lair where I lived. It was a grand occasion that time. The demons within a radius of thousands of kilometers who sensed the angel all rushed toward the angel. There were probably no less than ten million of them, and they used a sea of demons to crush the angel to death … I was still a middle-rank demon at that time, and I followed behind and used magic to attack a few times. Although I was safe and didn't get attacked by the angel, when the angel died, I didn't experience the feeling of killing with my own hands … "
As she spoke, a regretful expression appeared on Benia's face.
Roy nodded. It was easy to imagine the scene of using numbers to exhaust the magic power of an angel and then killing it …
With Benia's description, Roy could roughly imagine a similar situation after demons entered Heaven.
Sighing, Roy gathered all the remaining troops. "Let's go. Xeron is already dead. Next, we should go to the battlefield of Ur-Hekal!"
"Are you going to attack Kha-Beleth?" Julia understood what Roy meant and said worriedly, "Dear, are you confident?"
"Regardless of whether I'm confident or not, I have to go!" Roy's Eyes of Nightmare lit up with red light, and the pentagram in his eyes became clearer. He clenched his demon claws. "Because the opportunity to encounter a lone demon lord is too rare. If I miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to challenge a demon lord again …"
There was something that Roy did not say. In fact, he was quite confident in his heart because he still had a trump card in his hand that he had not used. If he really could not defeat Kha-Beleth, he would use it without hesitation …
However, Julia and the others did not know about this. After hearing Roy's words, Benia nodded. "Indeed. Moreover, we still have Isabel in our hands. She's pregnant with Kha-Beleth's child and can make him refrain from taking action. There really won't be a second chance like this."
"Okay, leave the demon army of Ur-Hekal to us. We'll do our best to create opportunities for you!" Julia said.
"Your Excellency Osiris, we will also do our best to help you!" Giovanni respectfully bowed to Roy with his vampires.
"What else are you talking about? Just kill them! " Rafaro said anxiously. "Let's go. If Kha-Beleth kills too many of the alliance army, I won't be able to absorb enough life force to resurrect …"
Roy nodded, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky, quickly flying toward Ur-Hekal.
Behind him, a huge black shadow followed closely, like a flock of orioles behind a cicada stalking a mantis …
