The secret room underground of Ur-Hekal was as dark as ever.
Roy brought Cassandra and held Sareth in one hand as he entered the secret room through the teleportation formation. After arriving at the altar, he injected magic power to activate it.
Roy did not know much about the principle of this communication platform that Kha-Beleth and Xeron had set up. But as long as he could use this formation to contact Sheogh, he did not think too much about it.
As the light of the magic formation lit up, ripples of light and shadow appeared in the center of the formation. The moment the light and shadow appeared, Roy saw a figure appearing opposite him.
It was still the tall demon lord, the rough and heavy armor, the outline of his explosive muscles, and the spiked hammer in his hand. Roy only knew one demon lord in Sheogh, and he did not even know his name. But the difference was that this demon lord was not the only one displayed on the light screen this time. In the shadows behind him, Roy saw several dark silhouettes and several pairs of scarlet bright eyes.
One, two, three … Roy counted. He could see a total of nine demon lords on the light screen. He did not know if this was all of them, but he estimated that most of the demon lords in Sheogh were gathered here.
Did they coincidentally gather together, or were they deliberately waiting for me to contact them?
Roy smiled playfully and said to the tall and strong war demon lord, "We meet again!"
"…" After seeing Roy, the demon lord was silent for a while before saying, "I didn't expect you to really succeed, Osiris … Lord!"
Roy turned his head slightly, looked at the three pairs of demon wings folded behind him, and asked with interest, "Did you see it from the state of my wings, or did you feel it from my aura and magic pressure? Speaking of which, this communication formation shouldn't have the function of transmitting auras … "
"In fact, we knew from the moment you completed the promotion ritual!" The demon lord raised his chin and said.
"Aha, it seems like you guys trapped in Sheogh are quite well-informed!" Roy's eyes flickered.
The demon lord's words revealed a piece of information that made Roy a little vigilant. These demon lords still had other methods to obtain information about the main world. This meant that someone was secretly conveying information to them …
And the one who sent them the news was definitely some demon in Ur-Hekal. Otherwise, it was impossible for Sheogh to know this news the moment he promoted to demon lord. Only a demon who had watched his promotion ritual at the scene had this possibility.
Roy did not find it strange that there were traitors among demons at all. Apart from Julia and a few of his close subordinates, he had never believed in the loyalty of other demons. Since those demons could submit to his rank, they could also submit to the rank of other demon lords.
"It seems like you haven't been waiting for death since Kha-Beleth's death!" Roy rubbed his chin with his claws and sneered. "But does the candidate you found have the ability to help you escape?"
With Roy's words, the scarlet demon eyes of the nine demon lords on the light screen flickered in the shadows. Clearly, Roy had hit their sore spot.
"… I have to admit that after you became a demon lord, you already have the status to communicate with us on equal terms!" The war demon lord was a little aggrieved, but he still beat his chest with his right fist. "My name is Dioland, the Hammer of Destruction, the Dragon Ripper, the Fang of Urgash, and the Undertaker of the Falcon Empire!"
Not only did he introduce his demon name, but he also said his title. Demon Lord Dioland's self-introduction could be said to be very formal.
From his title, Roy could tell a lot of information. The Dragon Ripper represented that he had astonishing physical strength. The Fang of Urgash represented that he was a loyal lackey of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. The Undertaker of the Falcon Empire meant that this demon lord might have participated in an ancient war to destroy a country in the world of Ashan.
As for the title of the Hammer of Destruction, Roy could not help but want to complain …
Chieftain Orgrim, there's a demon here who stole your name …
"Okay, Demon Lord Dioland!" Roy nodded. "Although you already know my name, there are other lords here, so I'll repeat it again!"
With that said, Roy also reported his title.
"My name is Osiris, the Lord of Darkness and Winter, the Enemy of the Flame Demons, the Controller of Storm and Lightning, the Plague Tyrant, the Destroyer of Humans, the Claw of Samael, the servant of Lilith, the enemy of Gabriel, the enemy of Raphael …"
It's as if anyone doesn't know how to act cool … But after Roy recounted his experiences in detail, even he was shocked by himself.
It turns out that I've done so many things after becoming a demon all these years …
While he was racking his brains to add titles to himself, Dioland and the other eight demon lords on the light screen were dumbfounded!
By Urgash! F * ck, who the hell is this Demon Osiris?!
The first few titles were fine. Lord of Darkness and Winter could indeed call himself that for a frost demon. As for the Enemy of the Flame Demons, the Inferno Overlord Kha-Beleth had died in his hands, so there was no problem with this title. The Controller of Storm and Lightning title was an additional elemental power that the other party controlled, so there was nothing to say about it. Plague Tyrant … From the information he obtained, Demon Osiris had indeed created an enormous plague in the world of Ashan, so this title was fine.
But what's with the Human Destroyer later? Could it be that this guy participated in a world-destroying war and exterminated all the humans in a world?!
This is something that countless demons have not been able to do …
In fact, this title was really not wrong. When Roy was in the Darksiders world, all the humans in that world had really gone extinct. As one of the participants, it was absolutely possible for Roy to give himself this title …
As for [Samuel's Claw] and [Lilith's Servant], these two titles had indeed frightened Dioland and the others. These two titles showed that Osiris had once served under two famous demon kings!
Who is Samuel? Who is Lilith?
They were two of the top big shots of the Abyss!
Roy was not lying about this. He had indeed served Samuel and Lilith …
However, what was even more outrageous was that the two titles of Gabriel's Enemy and Raphael's Enemy were even more exaggerated because these two titles showed that Demon Osiris had definitely fought with these two supreme angels of Heaven. Regardless of the situation of the battle, just the fact that he was still standing here meant that he had at least survived under the hands of these two supreme angels …
Generally, no one would lie about titles. Even if it was exaggerated, they should at least have experienced it before daring to claim it. Dioland and the others did not suspect that Roy was lying. After all, they were all demon lords, demons with identities, and existences of the ruling class. If they were caught lying, it would be a disgrace, and there was no reason for them to lie.
However, it was precisely because of this that Dioland and the others were shocked. F * ck, it seems … it seems like Kha-Beleth … did not die unjustly!
Although the eight demon lords fighting behind Dioland did not report their names, they all walked out of the shadows and saluted Roy. Dioland was the same. He said solemnly to Roy, "Your experience is amazing. Lord Osiris, with all due respect, how old are you now?"
Roy's eyes flickered as he replied, "A hundred years old!"
Without a doubt, Roy had lied about his age. In fact, from the time he had become a demon until now, including the time he had spent in the various worlds, it had only been about ten years. He had exaggerated his age by ten times.
However, Dioland and the rest gasped when they heard the age of the man.
"Unbelievably young!" Dioland exclaimed. "You grew into a demon lord in just a hundred years. Your Excellency Osiris, your bloodline and talent are simply unparalleled! May I know which demon king's direct bloodline are you? "
Roy felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard Dioland's tone. He quickly waved his hand and changed the topic. "Okay, okay. There's not much time. Let's get down to business!"
What direct bloodline of a demon king? If I could say it, why wouldn't I have said it earlier? It's just a cheat. Why do I need a bloodline …
Seeing that Roy was unwilling to reveal it, Dioland and the others did not dare to continue asking. But no matter what, compared to the first time Roy contacted them, their attitude toward Roy had changed dramatically.
They realized that the newly promoted demon lord opposite them was not a lucky person, nor was he an ignorant and reckless rookie. Instead, he was a powerful demon with absolute strength and had experienced hundreds of battles. The current Demon Osiris was not only on equal footing with them in terms of rank but also truly had the right to talk to them as equals.
"Okay!" Dioland nodded. "As you can see, behind me is the strongest demon lord in Sheogh. Our opinions will represent the entire Sheogh demon camp. Lord Osiris, if I'm not wrong, the baby in your hand should be the Dark Messiah, right?"
"That's right. But like last time, my mind won't change!" Roy said. "I won't hand over the Dark Messiah to you. He can only be in my hands. If you want to come out of Sheogh, you have to rely on my strength. For this, you have to pay a price!"
Dioland frowned. However, he did not directly refuse like the first time. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the other eight demon lords behind him for a while.
On the light screen, the scarlet eyes of the demon lords kept flickering, seemingly communicating spiritually …
