When Roy saw the 'Weak Void Infection' in his status, even he was shocked.
He really did not expect that just seeing Urgash's dream through the mental connection for a while would cause him to be infected by the power of the Void.
How can this Void power be so contagious?
Thus, Roy, who was alarmed, quickly began to search for a solution.
He first tried to circulate his magic power throughout his body in an attempt to find the abnormal power brought about by this infection. However, to his surprise, he could not detect any abnormalities in his body through this method. His magic power was not hindered at all, and the process of the magic power flow seemed to be smoother than usual.
What's going on?
Roy felt a little puzzled. After thinking that this infection might be on the mental level, he tried to mobilize his Psychokinesis and found that it was the same. Not only was it operating smoothly, but it was also stronger than usual.
Roy immediately felt a little confused. He crossed his arms, sat down, and began to think carefully.
A moment later, Roy made a bold conclusion. Perhaps in the early stages of being infected by Void power, it might really cause the strength of living beings to become stronger!
This was like a kind of temptation. Think about it, if a person who did not know the dangers of the Void was eroded by the power of the Void and found that he had obtained a huge improvement and became stronger, would he continue to use this power?
This was probably the reason why the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse called it 'Depravity' in the Darksiders world. If one were to indulge in the powerful changes it brought after coming into contact with this power without realizing it, they would eventually completely fall!
What would it be like to be completely corroded by Void power? Roy did not know yet, but it would definitely not have a good ending. Perhaps he would lose himself and become a Void monster through and through. Then he would choose to keep devouring because of his hunger that could never be satisfied …
After realizing this, Roy naturally became vigilant. He did not hesitate because of this increase in strength.
Opening the system interface, Roy used his soul to create a bottle of Purification Potion and defined its attribute as: remove all negative abnormal statuses.
After materializing, Roy immediately raised his head and drank it.
This bottle of potion actually consumed a thousand souls from Roy, but it also brought a powerful potion effect. After drinking it, Roy opened his attribute panel again and checked it.
What made him heave a sigh of relief was that the potion really took effect. The Void Corruption effect disappeared.
Roy casually threw away the empty potion bottle in his hand and continued to sit on the ground and think.
He was certain that what he had suffered should be a secondary Void power infection because he did not truly come into contact with Void power but only transmitted it from Urgash through the mental connection. This infection could not be considered true Void corrosion, so he could indeed purify this corrosion effect through some methods.
But … if he encountered true Void Energy, would it be so easy to get rid of it with the Purification Potion?
Roy felt that it was impossible. If it could be solved so easily, Samael and Lilith would not have had such a headache in the Darksiders world. A dignified demon king-level demon could only watch helplessly as his lair was devoured bit by bit … Roy felt that it was impossible for it to be so easy.
This was the first time Roy had truly come into contact with Void power. Fortunately, he had only come into contact with it indirectly. Although he had dealt with it, he could understand how dangerous this power was through this strange mental contagion.
Now the question was, how did Urgash get corroded by this Void power?
Where did Void power come from? Where did Void power come from? How long had it been since Urgash was infected?
Due to the level of strength, the demons who came to this world were basically subordinates to Urgash. In other words, almost all demons were Urgash's subordinates and obeyed him. However, in the mental connection with Urgash, Urgash, who was in the upper echelons of power, actually turned around and asked for help from a lower power like Roy!
What did this mean? It meant that Urgash felt that he had nowhere to go and was beginning to despair, so he was desperately trying to grab any straw that could save him …
It was unimaginable that a Dragon God, who was worshipped as a Creation God, would fall to such a state. This made Roy's vigilance toward Void power deepened. Even someone as powerful as Urgash was helpless after being corroded by Void power. This power was too dangerous.
So, should I save Urgash?
Hehe, what kind of joke is this? Although Roy's words were sincere when they were connected mentally, it was only to break free from the restraints of Urgash's dream. In fact, after escaping and knowing the fact that Urgash was infected by the Void, Roy had never thought of saving him!
We're not related, so why should I take such a big risk for a little soul?
It had to be known that the reason why Roy contacted Urgash through his mental connection was nothing more than to sign a contract with him and obtain time to stay in this world. This was the request of the demon lords imprisoned in Sheogh. If Roy wanted to obtain souls from them, he had to stay in this world and find a way to save them.
Under normal circumstances, this was of course a good way for Roy to extend his stay. However, after discovering that Urgash was being corroded by the Void, this method became extremely dangerous.
Just the mental connection had caused Roy to be infected by the secondary Void. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if he signed a demon contract? Because when signing the contract and leaving their names, they left behind traces of the power of both sides. Who could guarantee that the traces of Urgash's power mixed with the Void would not be transmitted to Roy through the contract?
If it really happened, then it would not be as simple as a secondary infection …
Therefore, Roy subconsciously rejected the option of saving Urgash without even thinking about it. He did not intend to take the tens of millions of souls in the hands of the demon lords.
The reason why he was still thinking was that Roy thought of another more serious problem.
That was … there was the possibility of this world being destroyed!
There was no doubt about this. Since Urgash, one of the Dragons of Creation, had been infected by the Void's corrosion, as time passed, he might gradually corrupt into a Void creature and eventually lose his self-will, becoming a monster with only the instinct to devour, and then completely devour this world.
The more powerful a creature was, the more dangerous it was after being infected by the Void. Once they corrupted and transformed, it would be very difficult to have the power to fight against them.
And Urgash was undoubtedly the most powerful creature in this world. The only one who could match him was the Dragon of Order, Asha. However, even Urgash was like this. What could Asha, who was still recuperating from her injuries, do?
In fact, Roy suspected that even Asha might have been corroded by Void power!
Because Roy guessed that the reason why Urgash was corroded by Void power was likely because he was constantly absorbing power from all over to repair his body while he was injured and dormant. It was this behavior of absorbing power that caused Void power to take advantage of the situation. If this guess was true, then Asha, who was also recuperating, would have similar behavior …
No wonder it had been difficult for the people of this world to contact the two Dragons of Creation since a thousand years ago …
Roy did not know Asha's true situation, and it was only a guess now. But regardless of whether Asha's situation was the same as Urgash's, just Urgash alone already had the power to destroy this world.
As for how long it would take for Urgash to completely corrupt, Roy could not say for sure. But from the situation in the spiritual connection, Urgash's condition was terrible. Perhaps in a hundred years or fifty years, the Void power in his body might erupt.
Facing a world that was about to usher in a great danger of destruction, continuing to stay here was simply something that only a fool would do. Roy had only just become a demon lord. Facing this destructive disaster, he could not resist it, so of course he could not continue staying.
However, if he left so quietly, it would be too disgraceful. It had to be known that Roy was currently the only demon lord in the world of Ashan.
In particular, he had Giovanni stir up trouble in the kingdom of Heresh during this period of time, causing the people of all races to feel threatened. They had already gathered an army again and were preparing to crusade against him. If he left without saying a word, it would really be a pity … I can leave on my own, but I absolutely can't let the people here think that they expelled me. Otherwise, there might be rumors of contempt toward me from the angels in Heaven in the future.
In the darkness, Roy's demon pupils erupted with red light. He seemed to have made an important decision.
He stood up and left the underground secret room. He did not even contact the demon lords of Sheogh and let them continue to wait anxiously.
I, Demon Lord Osiris, Lord of Darkness and Winter, am going to play a big game next!
