With a dull thud, Roy stepped on the ground.
Looking at the fanatical expressions on the faces of the various strange-looking demons around him, Roy could not help but frown inwardly.
In fact, from the moment he passed through the Gate of Heaven and entered the main world, Roy felt that the repulsive effect of this world on him had increased a lot. At first, Roy thought that it was an illusion, but after stepping on the ground, the feeling of repulsion became even stronger.
Roy could even clearly feel that the ground beneath his feet was strongly disgusting him. An invisible force was surging over crazily and squeezing his body, as though the people around him were constantly trying to squeeze him out of the train doors on a crowded subway. This feeling was simply terrible.
But Roy knew very well that this was an inevitable result. In fact, Roy had already known about this from Kha-Beleth's memories. This was the inevitable price he had to pay after becoming a demon lord.
To put it bluntly, the world repulsive effect was a self-protection mechanism of the world. Its purpose was to protect the life born in this world from the invasion of foreign species. And this self-protection mechanism was like a firewall. The more threatening the target, the more severe it was.
In the same world, this repulsive effect had completely different effects on low-rank demons and high-rank demons. The repulsive force suffered by the latter was far higher than that of the former. Similarly, it would become stronger against a demon lord.
This was also why in the legends of many worlds, there was a saying that 'the stronger the demon, the harder it was to descend.'
When Roy came to the world of Ashan, he was still a high-rank demon, and he had used the Dragon Balls as a beacon to pass through the Gate of the Abyss. Now that he had become a demon lord, he could be said to be a high-threat target in this world. If he wanted to use the same method to open a Gate of the Abyss and teleport over, the energy and magic power he would need to consume would probably increase by more than ten times!
The sudden increase in the world repulsive effect meant that Roy needed to spend more magic power and energy than before to resist this influence, which would have a considerable impact on his combat strength.
Therefore, after promoting to demon lord, the first thing he had to do was to find a way to solve or bypass the self-protection mechanism of this world.
Raising his head, Roy looked at the closed Gate of Heaven in the sky. Isabel and Orfina did not chase out of the Gate of Heaven as he had expected. Roy did not doubt their determination to kill him, but it seemed that they had guessed that if they chased out like this, they would face the counterattack of many demons. If the military power of Cloud City had not suffered great damage, perhaps Isabel would have really rushed out with the angels to fight against Roy's demon army. But unfortunately, Roy had caused havoc in Cloud City this time and killed a considerable number of angels, leaving Cloud City, which was already strapped for manpower, with not much manpower available.
If Roy were in Isabel's position, he would have first thought of a way to resurrect his people instead of chasing after the enemy foolishly …
This was also a good thing for Roy. He needed time to familiarize himself with his new strength.
At this moment, Julia and Benia had already come forward with a group of high-rank demons. When they came about two meters in front of Roy, Julia and Benia squatted down, knelt on one knee, and said in unison, "Lord Osiris, welcome back!"
The high-rank demons followed the two of them and knelt in unison to pay their respect to Roy, the newly promoted demon lord.
If many high-rank demons were secretly unconvinced when Roy was still a high-rank demon, then the pressure brought about by Roy's naked lord-level no longer made them able to stir up their ambitions.
Not every high-rank demon had the opportunity to become a demon lord. Not to mention anything else, the ritual of killing their way into Heaven to obtain merit had already caused countless high-rank demons to fall …
"Okay, get up!" Roy nodded and said to the two of them.
After the demons got permission to get up, they quickly made way. Roy walked at the front, and Julia and Benia followed closely behind him as they walked toward Ur-Hekal. Along the way, they met Giovanni, and this guy flattered him before finally returning to the city.
In the demon hall, Roy sat on the throne and dismissed the irrelevant people. After leaving only Julia, Benia, and Giovanni, he released Fat Tiger from the system space.
Fat Tiger's condition was actually not good. When he was guarding the Gate of Heaven, he had encountered the siege of many angels. Even though his skin was thick and his flesh was thick, he still looked a little miserable. His entire body was covered in sword wounds and traces of various magic and holy light attacks, so the most important thing was to treat Fat Tiger's wounds first.
Looking at Fat Tiger's miserable state, Julia was shocked and asked Roy, "Darling, what happened in Cloud City? Why is Fat Tiger injured like this? Are you okay? "
"I'm fine!" Roy used his soul to materialize a healing potion and fed it to Fat Tiger. At the same time, he replied, "I met Queen Isabel in Heaven! Or rather, seraph Isabel! "
With that, Roy told Julia and the others about the situation, causing them to look at each other.
Especially Benia. In her calculations, the military strength of Cloud City should not be strong, but she never expected that Isabel would be reborn as an angel and become a seraph.
"Your Lordship, this is my dereliction of duty!" Benia said apologetically. "Actually, I've heard that Isabel is a Chosen of Elrath before, but I always thought that this was just a way to highlight her noble status. I didn't expect it to be true …"
"It's not your fault!" Roy waved his hand casually. "Something like a Chosen should be said to be just a kind of talent. It's not that easy to truly transform it into strength."
Speaking of this, Roy thought of Arantir. Isn't that guy also the Chosen One who claims to be Asha? But unfortunately, he did not seem to be able to truly obtain Asha's favor and fulfill his promise as the Chosen. He was killed just like that without even causing any waves.
Seeing that Roy did not blame her, Benia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Your Lordship, since Isabel has become a seraph, with the relationship between the kingdom of Erathia and the angels of Cloud City, this news will probably soon be known by the kingdom of Erathia. This will be a huge morale boost for them …"
Roy nodded slowly. "How's your investigation about your sister, Biara?"
"After the commanders of the alliance army, Gem and Zehir, retreated in defeat last time, the news about the true Queen Isabel has spread throughout Ashan!" Benia laughed. "My unlucky sister's identity has been completely seen through. If Kha-Beleth were still alive, she might have been able to cause a riot in Erathia after her identity was seen through and let the demon army directly invade Erathia. But unfortunately, Your Lordship, you killed Kha-Beleth, and all the demons in Ur-Hekal are under your control. Even if she can open a portal, no demons will respond to her summons. This is equivalent to her, a succubus, being surrounded by many angels and priests!"
"Oh? What's the result? "Roy asked with interest.
"She's lucky!" Benia gritted her teeth and snorted angrily. "After learning that the queen is fake and a demon in disguise, the only remaining descendant of the royal family of Erathia, Isabel's nephew Andre, and some nobles who support him, sent troops to suppress my stupid sister. But although this nephew Andre wants to seize the opportunity to seize the throne, there are also some nobles who oppose him holding him back. The internal strife of the Erathians gradually escalated, and Biara found an opportunity to escape."
"Escaped?" Roy frowned. "Where did she escape to? Aren't you looking for her for revenge? "
"Of course!" Benia's eyes were full of hatred as she nodded. "But I'm not worried at all. She won't be able to run for long. Without the support of Ur-Hekal, she won't receive any help during her escape. Even if she can open a Gate of the Abyss and summon some demons from the Abyss to help, she won't be able to last long. Because not only Erathia, but even the elves and Silver City are hunting her. I only need to appear in front of her when she's at her wit's end, mock her ruthlessly, and then help her free herself!"
Tsk, how ruthless! Roy sighed inwardly. As expected of a demon …
"It's not a big deal for Biara to escape, but we have to consider the impact of her identity being exposed on us!" Julia said at this moment. "No matter who ascends the throne of Erathia, I can foresee that they will restore order. At that time, the kingdom of Erathia will definitely restore its connection with Cloud City. With Isabel, the Erathians will obtain tremendous help from the angels. In addition to the defeated elves, orcs, and mages of Silver City, they will definitely plan revenge after suffering heavy losses. They will contact more allies and send stronger troops to suppress us."
"That's right!" Roy nodded. "They won't sit idly by and leave me, a demon lord, alone."
"Just us demons alone might not be able to resist the enormous alliance army!" Benia said. "So it's time to add some help."
After hearing Benia's words, Roy and Julia looked at Giovanni, who was waiting obediently at the side.
When Roy looked over, Giovanni could not hide his excitement and made an exaggerated aristocratic bow to Roy. "Honorable Lord Osiris, as long as you need it, the entire kingdom of Heresh will serve you! As long as you can let me ascend to the throne of the undead monarch … "
"Very good. Then let's take down all of Heresh first!" Roy smiled sinisterly.
