Of course, Roy had to run. He wasn’t stupid. He could fight Sargeras’s clone, but he would really die fighting Sargeras’s true body.
Therefore, after giving Sargeras a big blow and leaving a deep impression on him, Roy achieved his goal, boarded the Void Seeker, and fled into the universe.
After Sargeras reacted, he was so angry that he was about to explode. Not only did this cunning demon Osiris steal the authority of the titans’ planetary shield, but he even caused him to fight on this planet and directly destroy half of it. Now that he had taken an advantage, he wanted to leave. How could there be such a good thing?!
In his rage, Sargeras chased after Roy without even thinking.
With the strength of the titans, it was no problem for them to cross the universe with their bodies alone. But after chasing for a while, Sargeras found that the starship Osiris was on was ridiculously fast. Even though he kept using spatial gates to shuttle forward, he couldn’t catch up to this starship.
Sargeras could only call his mothership while chasing.
Just like that, it finally became a chase between two starships in space.
The Void Seeker was smaller and more agile, while Sargeras’s starship was like a fortress equipped with powerful arcane cannons. But its disadvantage was that it was huge and cumbersome. When it couldn’t close the distance with the Void Seeker, these powerful cannons couldn’t display their attack effectiveness. However, Sargeras’s starship had complete functions, so it was always tightly locked onto the Void Seeker, causing it to be difficult for the Void Seeker to escape Sargeras’s pursuit.
After Sargeras had fought in the Twisting Nether for so long, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss at the hands of a demon. Not only had the planet been bombarded, but even his clone had almost been destroyed. This made his warrior heart find it difficult to accept. At the same time, he realized that regardless of the origin of Demon Osiris, if he were allowed to wander around in the universe, it would bring calamities to the worlds of order that the Pantheon was striving to create. Sargeras felt that even if he temporarily left the demons in the Twisting Nether alone, he had to find a way to capture Osiris.
Therefore, Sargeras ordered his servants to pursue the starship no matter what and not let it escape. His army of servants did their best to carry out his order.
However, Sargeras didn’t know that even if he didn’t chase so closely, he wouldn’t lose Roy because Roy had never thought of really getting rid of him...
Under the lead of the Void Seeker, Sargeras and his starship were being led into the depths of the universe step by step...
Who knew how long this chase lasted or how many light-years it spanned. When Sargeras gradually became suspicious, he found that the Void Seeker had already led his starship into a dead galaxy.
In this galaxy, many stars had already extinguished, so it was even dimmer than other starry skies. Many planets had extremely cruel environments, and many of them had even stopped rotating. The gravitational pull between astronomical bodies had even disappeared.
When Sargeras’s starship entered this galaxy, it couldn’t scan any signal of life. In the observation window of the starship, he looked at the planets he passed by in puzzlement, thinking that Demon Osiris had brought him into the most remote corner of the universe.
He seems to have deliberately brought me into this galaxy... What’s there here??Sargeras frowned in thought
But at this moment, the servants in the starship suddenly shouted in horror, “Lord... Lord Sargeras! We’ve detected strong Void energy fluctuations ahead!!”
After hearing this shout, Sargeras’s mind buzzed, and he immediately ordered, “Stop! Stop the starship immediately!”
The starship fortress, which was as large as a planet, slowly stopped in space. Sargeras noticed that when he stopped, Osiris’s starship in front of him also slowed down and stopped.
The two starships stopped quietly in the dark universe. Sargeras frowned while staring at the image of the Void Seeker on the light screen, guessing Osiris’s possible next move.
Sargeras knew that since strong Void energy fluctuations had appeared ahead, it meant that this was very likely a trap set by Osiris. He might have lured him here to use the Void energy to do something.
But at this moment, a call signal connected to Sargeras’s starship. After seeing this call signal, the servants looked at Sargeras in unison. Needless to say, it must be from the enemy they were chasing.
Sargeras thought about it and answered the communication signal under the gazes of the servants.
On the arcane light screen, Roy’s figure appeared. He smiled at Sargeras. “Lord Sargeras, do you want to come out and chat?”
“Come out? What do you mean?” Sargeras asked expressionlessly.
“Of course out of the starship!” Roy said. “I think you’ll definitely be interested in that thing in front. Perhaps you’re willing to let me accompany you to take a look?”
“Hmph, cunning demon, don’t you think your trap is too clumsy?” Sargeras laughed angrily.
Roy shook his finger. “No, no, no. I swear on my true demon name that this is definitely not a trap. Moreover, even if it’s a trap, how can you, the Champion of the Pantheon, be afraid of a mere trap?”
“...” Sargeras didn’t say anything and quietly looked at Roy on the light screen. Roy looked at him calmly.
After a while, Sargeras said, “Okay, I want to see what you’re up to!”
With that, he ignored the dissuasion of his servants and appeared outside the starship. After crossing tens of millions of kilometers, he saw Roy waiting for him in space.
Then without a word, Sargeras raised Gorshalach and slashed an enormous sword beam at Roy!
After chasing Roy for so long, Sargeras released his resentment and anger through this slash. But what puzzled him was that Osiris didn’t dodge his angry attack but forcefully received it.
The moment the sword beam hit Roy, a spherical light screen enveloped his body, and the exploding sword beam emitted extremely powerful energy. This energy swept through the surrounding space, and a nearby planet even exploded in this energy storm.
However, such a powerful attack failed to cause any damage to Roy. Although the light screen surrounding him exploded, he remained unscathed and didn’t move at all.
Sargeras’s eyes narrowed. He was very surprised. Through the previous battle, he had tested Roy’s strength. Although this demon was powerful, Sargeras was confident that he could crush him with the power of his true body.?What’s going on now? This damn demon actually has a trump card?
While Sargeras was hesitating, Roy turned his head to look at the destroyed planet. Although he was still staring at Sargeras expressionlessly, he thought that it was a close call!
The light screen just now was actually an ‘Absolute Defense’ that he had created with nearly a million souls he had recently collected. It was a life-saving move that Roy had made to deal with Sargeras. The ability made with so few souls was naturally a one-time use. Although he had successfully blocked Sargeras’s attack, Roy wouldn’t be able to take another if it happened again, so he quickly said, “Okay, Lord Sargeras, you’ve vented your anger with this attack just now. Can you calm down and talk?”
When Sargeras attacked angrily just now, he really wanted to kill Roy. He had never been led by the nose like this, but after Roy blocked his attack unscathed, Sargeras calmed down despite being surprised.
He looked at Roy and carefully sized up his current form. “There’s no demon like you in the Twisting Nether. What do you want to do?”
Roy shook his head. “I’m indeed not a demon born in this world. I came here by a freak combination of factors. But this isn’t important. What’s important is what I want to show you next...”
“... What are you going to show me?” Sargeras snorted. “Demon, I don’t know where you come from and why you can use Void energy, but if you want to use the Void energy in front of you to deal with me, you will be gravely mistaken.”
“Sargeras, I am not your enemy!” Roy spread his hands. “I’m not demonstrating to you. In fact, after coming to this world, I found that although the titans of your Pantheon claim to be the guardians of order, you don’t seem to understand who the true enemy is. Instead, you’ve been fighting with the demons of the Twisting Nether.”
“The true enemy?” Sargeras’s heart stirred as he blurted out, “You want to say... the Void?”
“Yes! It’s the Void!” Roy nodded.
“Ridiculous!” Sargeras laughed in anger. “Demon, don’t tell me you think that we titans haven’t studied what the Void is after so many years?”
Roy smiled. “I know that you’ve certainly studied it, and I can even tell you the conclusion of your research. This conclusion is that the Void is the opposite of all matter. It is the background of the real world. When the Void leaks into the real world, it will cause irreversible corrosion and destruction to the real world, right?”
“That’s right!” Sargeras nodded. He was about to continue when Roy interrupted him.
“I know what you want to say. What you want to say is that the Void is inert. Although it will corrode the real world, this corrosion is completely passive, right?”
“... Since you know, why do you still say that?” Sargeras asked curiously.
“Lord Sargeras!” Roy smiled. “Indeed, Void energy is inert. Although it occasionally leaks and contaminates the real world, this contamination will gradually decrease as it corrodes matter in the real world. These are all very normal phenomena. In theory, even if Void contamination appears in the real world, as long as it is controlled well, it will at most cause some losses and won’t cause too much damage to the entire real world... But have you thought about what it would be like if Void corrosion changed from passive to active?”
“Huh?!” Sargeras immediately frowned when he heard the last sentence.
“Lord Sargeras, the reason why I chose to communicate with you instead of going to the Pantheon to communicate with the other titans is that you should know the Void the best!” Roy said. “After hunting down demons in the Twisting Nether for so many years, I don’t believe that your research on the Void will only stay on the surface. If possible, I want to ask you, in your impression, how much has the Twisting Nether expanded over the years?”
Sargeras was silent. He couldn’t answer Roy’s question because he knew very well that Roy was right. After he fought in the Twisting Nether for so many years, his impression was that the Twisting Nether had been rapidly expanding.
In fact, unlike his other compatriots of the Pantheon, the other titans had always been dedicated to building worlds of order and searching for their kind. To them, finding and awakening more of their compatriots was the top priority. Therefore, even though they had researched the Void for a while, the Pantheon had never listed the Void as a threat. Just as Osiris had said, after discovering that the Void was inert and passively causing corrosion, the Pantheon didn’t take it to heart.
Sargeras had never stopped coming into contact with the Void because of his work. In his understanding, the Twisting Nether had been expanding, and many crazy Void demons had gradually appeared. These were all signs of the deepening of Void corrosion. When he fought in the Twisting Nether before, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. After all, there were so many demons in the Twisting Nether, and he didn’t have much free time to calm down and study the Void corrosion phenomenon. But ever since Aggramar was sent as his apprentice and became his lieutenant, Sargeras had a lot of free time to study the Void.
Sargeras’s original intention in studying the Void was to find a way to completely stop the birth of demons. Although he had yet to grasp the full picture of the turbulent domain that was the Twisting Nether, his research on the Void was still fruitful. Through controlling and shaping some Void energy, Sargeras had created the isolated exile plane ‘Mardum’, specifically dedicated to imprisoning the demons of the Twisting Nether to achieve the effect of stopping the demons from resurrecting. The appearance of Mardum indeed greatly reduced the number of demons in the Twisting Nether.
But during this process, Sargeras encountered some phenomena that puzzled him. Logically speaking, demons corroded by Void power should fall into complete madness. But occasionally, conscious individuals appeared. The destruction caused by these conscious individuals was even greater than that of crazy demons.
This was why when he first came into contact with Roy and sensed the Void energy in him, he thought that Roy was a conscious individual and wanted to eliminate him.
With the deepening of his research on the Void, Sargeras had actually discovered that Void energy was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He had already realized that Void energy could be controlled, or rather, Void energy controlled living beings!
Therefore, when Roy mentioned ‘what will happen if Void energy changes from passive to active’, Sargeras fell silent. Roy’s words hit all the doubts he had been thinking about during this time.
“Follow me, Lord Sargeras!” Roy knew that his words were working, so he waved at Sargeras and flew forward. “Let me show you what happened in the corners that you titans of the Pantheon can’t see while you’re dealing with the demons and searching for your people...”
Sargeras hesitated for a moment. But seeing Roy’s firm attitude, he temporarily suppressed his thoughts of killing him and followed him forward.
After they traveled an unknown distance, the feeling of Void energy in front of them became stronger and stronger. Soon, a terrifying scene finally appeared in front of Sargeras and Roy.
It was... a star system completely corroded by an Old God. An incomparably colossal Old God was entrenched in this star system. Its terrifying tentacles shattered planets, turning several of them into countless fragments. The fragments of the planets floated chaotically in space, forming a huge asteroid belt. In the middle of this asteroid belt, the Old God’s enormous tentacles had already enveloped the star. Several tentacles pierced into the star and greedily absorbed the star’s energy. This dazzling star became incomparably dim, and it was rapidly collapsing and developing toward a white dwarf star.
And the body of the Old God that had destroyed this star system was already larger than Sargeras’s titan body...
Yes, this was one of the galaxies that Roy had passed by when he was on the Void Seeker. This galaxy and even the other galaxies farther behind had basically been destroyed by the Old Gods. This galaxy group could be said to be a key area where the Void Lords had placed Old Gods...
This galaxy group was far away from the Twisting Nether and belonged to a remote corner in the vision of the titans of the Pantheon, so Sargeras had never been here and had never seen such an evil and terrifying scene. So the moment he saw the Old God, he exclaimed angrily, “What the hell is that?!”
