Chapter 337 Besieged

The so-called Heaven was actually just a general term. If the Heaven that existed separately like the Abyss was a company, then the Heavens that were distributed across the Infinite Worlds could only be regarded as branch companies. These branch companies would sometimes have their own name according to their size or importance, such as the White City in the Darksiders world…

Roy had now entered Heaven through cracking a Gate of Heaven, which was naturally the Heaven of the Ashan world. Roy did not know if the Heaven here had a separate name, but the humans here had collectively called the place where angels came from ‘Cloud City’.

Perhaps it was to maintain a sense of mystery or not wanting to interfere too much in the human world. In Roy’s impression, angels liked to place their strongholds in every world in a Purgatory Space. Purgatory Spaces were what demons called them. In fact, a so-called Purgatory Space was the middle layer of a main world, an additional space that was different from the main world. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it an ‘inner world’.

The strongholds established by angels in these spaces were the Heavens of these worlds. In these spaces, they were full of the omnipresent power of light. This power was holy light. As Roy was of the dark attribute, he naturally felt very uncomfortable in this place. But this discomfort only lasted for a moment before changing… After entering, Roy felt the holy light strongly repulsing him. He was a dark-attribute demon, so he had eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, and it had fused well with his body. But because he awakened the frost demon bloodline, he mostly used frost power and did not use dark power much, causing the dark power in his body to often remain dormant. But now, in order to resist the holy light, the dark power in his body began to become abnormally active under the stimulation of the holy light.

This was a very abnormal phenomenon. It was as though the external pressure was too strong, and the internal pressure increased to achieve a balance.

After sensing the activation of his dark power, that incomparable burning feeling on Roy’s body gradually lessened. Most importantly, he felt that his body was evolving once again, and the cells in his body began to transform rapidly under the stimulation of the dark power…

This made him understand why promoting to demon lord required this ritual. It seemed that entering Heaven to resist holy light allowed the dark power in his body to surge and achieve the goal of transforming his body.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would evolve his demon body to a new peak state after completing this promotion ritual and have an immortal body like Kha-Beleth!

Roy did not know where he was now in Heaven. He could not see any angels here at all, but he knew that this situation would not last long. The angels would quickly notice a Gate of Heaven opened with dark power.

Before the angels arrived, he still had some time, so he temporarily put away Frostmourne and took out a new item from the system space.

This thing was… a vambrace!

It looked like a demon claw and extended from the glove to the forearm, but there were two raised sharp blades on the forearm.

Roy took off the left arm piece of the Cold Winter Armor and put the vambrace on his left hand. The vambrace fit nicely with his arm. He stretched his left palm and nodded in satisfaction.

This item was a new piece of equipment that he had created through the system in the past few days in Ur-Hekal. He called it the ‘Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet’!

Yes, he had tried to create a new divine artifact, and the inspiration for this divine artifact was naturally the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, one of the Longinus. This divine artifact was very similar to the original Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, so he did not even bother changing the name.

Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet:

Attributes:

Boost: In the form of exponential growth, it can activate once every ten seconds and double the wielder’s strength. The current limit is six times. The strength increase lasts for one hour. Transfer: You can transfer the increased strength to your companions or weapons. When you transfer to many people, the strength obtained by each person will decrease comparatively.

Roy had spent about 460,000 souls to define the two attributes of this new equipment. This was mainly because Roy had set certain limits. For example, the first ‘Boost’ attribute had a limit of six times, meaning that Roy could complete the strength increase in one minute. Moreover, this increase in strength would be 64 times his normal strength.

This was already a very terrifying number. Any more, and Roy was worried that his body would not be able to withstand it.

In addition, this boost in strength was not permanent and only lasted for an hour. These two restrictions combined allowed Roy to materialize this item with fewer souls.

He was about to become a demon lord soon, so how could he do without one or two divine artifacts? However, Frostmourne mainly focused on weakening enemies, so he naturally made the new divine artifact, the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, to strengthen himself.

Of course, this equipment was still not a true divine weapon now, but as long as he had more souls to modify its attributes in the future, he could make this new equipment a true divine artifact…
