Chapter 335 The First Negotiation
When Roy thought of Ghost Rider, he could not help but wonder if the so-called Infinite Worlds included the Marvel world.
After carefully recalling, Roy felt that this might really be possible because, in his memories, one of the sources of the power of the Ghost Rider was the Elemental Demon Lord, Zarathos!
Since he was called a demon and an elemental demon, no matter how you looked at it, it was the power division of the Abyss. If this Demon Lord Zarathos was really a demon from the Abyss, then it meant that the Abyss was really connected to the Marvel world. In addition to Zarathos, there was a more famous demon in the Marvel world, Mephistos! And this demon known as a Hell-Lord was definitely a demon king-level existence.
Most importantly, thinking of Mephistos, Roy thought of another world, the Diablo world! Because in the Diablo world, the name Mephistos was also famous—the Lord of Hatred!
In other words, as long as Roy returned to the Abyss and inquired if there was a demon king-level demon like Mephistos, he could basically confirm whether the Marvel world and the Diablo world existed in the Infinite Worlds...
Perhaps some people might ask, if there was such a demon king-level demon in both worlds, does that mean that those two were demon king-level clones?
Roy was not sure. As a demon king-level demon, his history and age must have been very long, and he must have gone to countless worlds, so he could not lump him together with a clone.
Shaking his head, Roy temporarily expelled these complicated thoughts from his mind. He understood that even if he knew that there were these two worlds, he might not be able to go to them now. Generally speaking, demons were not actually able to travel freely through the Infinite Worlds. Due to the special protection mechanism of the repulsive force of
severe the repulsion toward powerful demons. Worlds that could accommodate demon king-level demons for a long time were definitely high-level magic worlds. Such worlds had weaker repulsive force, but the natives of these high magic worlds had a high chance of being powerful, and some existences that could contend against demon kings would appear. Of course, the rules of world power protection were not unchanging, and it might increase or decline.
Just like the Heroes of Might and Magic world that Roy was currently in, the inhabitants of this world were extremely powerful a long time ago. It was apparent from the dragons being able to reproduce freely in this world. But with the disappearance of the Dragon of Order, Asha, and the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, the residents of this world began to weaken in terms of combat strength. Roy could not tell if these two events were related, but he knew that it was probably difficult for this world to accommodate demon king-level demons anymore. If a demon with strength equal to the Dragon of Order and the Dragon of Chaos wanted to enter this world, there was probably no hope...
Looking at the box of the flowing brightness flames fire seed in his hand, Roy thought for a while and decided to listen to Julia’s opinion and absorb it.
In fact, what Julia said earlier was not entirely right. He had indeed hesitated about whether to add fire-element abilities, but this was mainly because he was already used to using frost power to fight. If he rashly added a new and opposing ability, it would naturally cause him to have psychological rejection.
However, after the battle with Kha-Beleth, Roy found that he was still quite restrained by Kha-Beleth’s flame power. His frost power moves, except for the final move, the Black Domain of Silence, did not have much effect on him. He had relied on other magic abilities to defeat Kha-Beleth.
In other words, if he could add even more attack methods, it would definitely be able to cover up his weaknesses.
In other words, if Roy could use effective means to deal with any opponent he encountered, then he would not have any weaknesses...
Roy naturally did not fancy ordinary flame power. But if the flowing brightness flames could really attach to objects he wanted to change the shapes of like in Ghost Rider, producing an alchemical creation characteristic, then this flame was very useful to him.
However, he still needed to consider the exact method of fusion. Moreover, he had to take advantage of the time after defeating the alliance army to integrate the entire demon army of Eeofol, complete the demon lord promotion ritual, and so on. He had many things to do.
It could be said that Roy was now truly the enemy of the world!
After defeating Demon Lord Kha-Beleth, he became the greatest enemy to the people of the Heroes of Might and Magic world because their hatred had now completely shifted to him. In the eyes of the world, he was now the representative of the entire Eeofol demon camp.
In addition, the dangerous T-Virus that he had released when he captured Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress had already caused immense damage in Ashan. Furthermore, as time passed, the virus continuously spread. Even though the people of this world had strong combat strength and could effectively resist the invasion of the virus and zombie attacks to a certain extent, if they did not eliminate the source, Roy, the master of the plague, then the entire world would be in danger of being devoured by the virus.
The collapse of the alliance army this time would not cause the various races and countries to be afraid. On the contrary, they might become more worried about the threat of the demons, thus thoroughly uniting again to launch an even more powerful crusade.
This time, it was the wood elves of AvLee, the mages of Bracada, and a small number of orcs. The next time they came, it would probably be all the races and forces in Ashan...
At the thought of the sky above Ur-Hekal being full of flying angels, dragons, griffins, and fire phoenixes, and millions or even tens of millions of soldiers on the ground rushing over like a tide, this scene even made Roy feel tremendous pressure.
In addition to this, he might even have to face a new demon army! After killing Kha-Beleth, he inevitably had a conflict with the demon lords of Sheogh. After all, what these demon lords were seeking was how to escape. Roy killing Kha-Beleth was equivalent to cutting off a glimmer of hope for them. Unless he could inherit Kha-Beleth’s job and continue to think of ways to release the Sheogh demon lords, they would definitely want to drink his blood and eat his flesh. These demon lords would do everything possible to control the remaining demons and order them to attack Roy. Ignoring everything else, Benia’s sister, Biara, might join the demon lords...
This was an extremely obvious hidden danger, so Roy had to prepare early. To him, it did not matter if he let these demon lords come out because he did not want to stay in this world for too long. Moreover, he had not signed a contract with Urgash. When the time came, he would have to return to the Abyss. But at least during his time in this world, he was unwilling to have a demon on the same level as him order him around.
Roy’s goal was clear. He went to every world to obtain as many benefits as possible to strengthen himself.
So the first thing Roy did after coming out of the city hall was to pass through the hidden teleportation formation and enter the secret room that Xeron and Kha-Beleth had used to imprison Isabel.
In Kha-Beleth’s memories, apart from being a prison cell, this room had another functionthe communication channel between Sheogh and Eeofol.
Although a small portion of this secret room had been destroyed when Raelag saved Isabel, most of its functions were still there. After arriving in the room, Roy found the stone bed that Isabel had been lying on and input magic power to activate the magic formation on the
With a flicker of lights and shadows, a projection appeared, just like a video call. The screen displayed a dark and fiery environment,
Not long after the projection appeared, a group of flames suddenly exploded on the screen. In the flames, a tall and burly figure suddenly appeared. “You bastard, Kha-Beleth! I’ve been trying to contact you for so long. Are you finally willing to respond?” the tall figure said impatiently the moment he appeared. But then he saw Roy clearly on the screen. He was stunned and said in astonishment, “Who are you?! Where’s that bastard Kha-Beleth?!”
Under the dim light of the flames, Roy could clearly see the appearance of the tall figure. He was also an enormous demon, but unlike Kha-Beleth, he seemed to be a demon lord that was a war demon. The skin of his entire body was dark red, and the muscles on his arms and chest swelled as though they were about to explode. There was a terrifying giant scar on his left ribs, and it looked as though some monster had torn off the flesh there.
This demon lord did not wear a full armor like Kha-Beleth, and only a few vital parts had thick and fierce armor. He held a heavy hammer in his hand. One end of the hammer was normal, but the other end was full of sharp spikes. The three pairs of overlapping demon wings behind him showed his identity as a demon lord, but Roy could only see a small portion on the screen.
Facing this demon lord’s question, Roy said calmly, “You’re looking for Kha-Beleth? Sorry, he’s already dead!” “Dead?!” The demon lord’s eyes widened. “How could he die?! Don’t tell me he encountered a siege by seraphim?!”
“No, he only encountered me!” Roy was still expressionless as he said calmly, “So he was killed!”
Hearing this, the demon lord even lost control of his expression. He stared at Roy for a while before asking, “Report your name, demon!”
“My name is Osiris. Remember this name!” Roy raised his chin. “Because you’re facing a demon about to promote to demon lord!” “Is that so? Perhaps!” The demon lord on the other side finally restrained his expression, but he said with slight mockery, “Let’s wait until you complete the ritual... But it looks like you are indeed strong. No wonder Kha-Beleth died in your hands. He lost too much power after a thousand years of imprisonment...”
“Even if he didn’t lose his power, he would have still died in my hands!” Roy interrupted.
This was how communication with demons was. When you had enough strength, you could not be afraid because demons only worshipped the strong. If you treated them with respect, they would look down on you. Since Roy could kill a demon lord, he had the right to speak as equals.
“Okay, Demon Osiris!” The demon lord did not argue. “It doesn’t matter if you killed Kha-Beleth, but what about the Dark Messiah? Did he fall into your hands?”
“That’s right!” Roy nodded.
“That’s good. Tell us your purpose. What do you want?” the demon lord asked. “Since you took the initiative to contact us, you can’t just be giving us an obituary.” “Good, straightforward!” Roy praised in satisfaction. “My request is very simple. Souls, a lot of souls! I came from the Abyss and did not contract with Urgash, so I have to leave this world in the end. Although I’ve now replaced Kha-Beleth’s position, I still have to return it to you in the end, so I have to get enough benefits.”
“A reasonable request!” The demon lord looked like a boor but unexpectedly communicated well. After hearing Roy’s words, he nodded. “We can agree to your request. Souls are not an issue, but correspondingly, we must see your sincerity.”
“What kind of sincerity?” Roy asked.
“Give us the Dark Messiah!” the demon lord said. “He is our hope to escape. In order to prevent you from gaining benefits and going back on your word, the Dark Messiah must be in our hands.”
“I refuse!” Roy shook his head. “The Dark Messiah is my only bargaining chip. I’ll have no guarantee after handing him to you.”
“Is that so? Looks like our first negotiation failed!” The demon lord sneered and directly shut down the communication.
Roy smiled and left the secret room. Yes, the first negotiation failed, but won’t there be a second time?
