Chapter 214 The First Place
On the way back, Julia and Roy whispered to each other.
“Mother Lilith seems to still have doubts. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used her magic to test you!” Julia said. Roy nodded. “That’s for sure. I’m merely a high-rank demon after all. It’s a little unbelievable that I only lost an arm to escape from Raphael! But from this point of view, it’s precisely because Lilith is very clear about Raphael’s strength that she also feels that it’s impossible for me to steal the Red Sea Egg from him!”
Julia pondered for a while and found that Roy’s words were indeed reasonable. Lilith might even think that Roy had not even seen what the Red Sea Egg looked like. After entering the Charred Council Space, he quickly escaped. It was precisely because of this perfunctory method that Roy only lost an arm.
Of course, these things were not important now. What was important was that the Red Sea Egg was in Roy’s hands.
After seeing Lilith, Roy did not need to hide anymore. He took off the limiter on his tail and restored his attributes to their peak state. Under Julia’s surprised eyes, a thick horny layer grew all over Roy’s body, his muscles swelled again, and both arms became the same.
“You’ve… become much stronger again!” Julia said in surprise. “Your current magic power aura far exceeds that of high-rank demons. Have you already advanced to demon lord?”
“No!” Roy shook his head. “Although I’ve become much stronger, I still seem to be a little short of becoming a demigod! If promoting to demon lord was so easy, then the entire Abyss wouldn’t have so few demon lords.”
“That’s true!” Julia nodded and asked curiously, “Then, what level are you now?”
Roy could not quite answer this question. In fact, after becoming a high-rank demon, there was no longer any distinction between the upper, middle, and lower levels like low and middle-rank demons. When Roy first promoted to high-rank demon, he was already stronger than many high-rank demons in terms of combat strength. If it were still divided between upper, middle, and lower, he should have been at the middle-high-rank level before. But after the dramatic increase in his strength from Fusion, he had already surpassed the upper-high rank!
If he really had to use a suitable term to describe his current strength, it would probably be ‘quasi-demon lord’!
In other words, he only lacked an opportunity to promote, and then he could truly become a demon lord…
In addition to possessing the strength of a demigod, a so-called demon lord had to have at least the power to tear through space! As long as he could achieve this, he could enter those rift worlds at the lower levels of the Abyss, or small worlds!
It was said that these small worlds were separated from the Abyss. Many of these small worlds had environments suitable for demons to live in, and there were many monsters and demons living in them. Only by cleaning out these small worlds, establishing their sovereignty, and becoming the sole overlord would they truly be called demon lords!
This method of occupying territory was different from when Roy had delineated a territory in the Abyss. In small worlds, demon lords could set rules as they wished, and the demons and monsters living in these worlds had to follow the will of the demon lords.
Moreover, after reaching the demon lord level, even if demon kings wanted to recruit them, they would have to pay a price and even respect their opinions. To put it bluntly, this relationship was like the one between kings and great aristocrats in the human world. The demon lords were the great aristocrats and were loyal to demon kings. When kings wanted to wage war, they could summon the aristocrats to participate. But usually, how aristocrats ran their territories was their own matter, and even the kings could not interfere.
Therefore, if Roy wanted to become a demon lord now, apart from continuing to strengthen himself, he also needed to understand some knowledge about space magic.
