Chapter 352 It Is in Their Nature

With a thud, Roy stepped onto the ground. As he Looked at the fanatical expressions on the faces of the various strange demons around him, he could not help but frown.

In fact, the moment he passed through the Gate of Heaven and entered the main world, Roy felt that the repulsive effect of this world on him had increased a lot. At first, he thought that it was his illusion, but now that he stepped on the ground, the feeling of repulsion became stronger.

Roy could even clearly feel that the ground beneath his feet loathed him. An invisible force was surging and squeezing his body, as though the people around him on a crowded subway were constantly trying to squeeze him out of the car door. This feeling was terrible.

However, Roy knew well that this was unavoidable. In fact, he had long known about this from Kha-Beleth’s memories. This was the inevitable price he had to pay after becoming a demon lord.

The world repulsive effect, to put it bluntly, a self-protection mechanism of a world. Its purpose was to protect the life born in this world from the invasion of foreign species. This self-protection mechanism was like a firewall, and the more threatening the target, the more severe it was.

In the same world, the effect of this repulsive force against low-rank demons and high-rank demons was totally different. The repulsive force on the latter was far greater than on the former. Similarly, it would become even more powerful when targeting a demon lord.

This was why in the legends of many worlds, there was the saying, ‘the stronger the demon, the harder it is to descend’.

When Roy came to this Ashan world, he was a high-rank demon, and he was able to pass through the Gate of the Abyss by using the Dragon Balls as a positioning beacon. Now that he had become a demon lord, this world could be said to have regarded him as a high-threat target. If he wanted to use the same method to open a Gate of the Abyss and teleport over, he would most likely have to consume more than ten times the energy and magic power!

The sudden increase in the world repulsive effect meant that he needed to spend more magic power and energy to resist this influence than before, which would have a tremendous impact on his combat strength. Therefore, after promoting to demon lord, the first thing he had to do was to find a way to solve or bypass the self-protection mechanism of this world.

Raising his head, Roy looked at the closed Gate of Heaven in the sky. As he had expected, Isabel and Orfina did not chase after him out of the Gate of Heaven. He did not doubt their determination to kill him, but it seemed like they had guessed that if they chased after him like this, they would face the retaliation of many demons. If he had not severely damaged the military power of Cloud City, Isabel might have really rushed out with the angels and started a battle with his demon army. But unfortunately, Roy had caused an enormous commotion in Cloud City and killed a considerable number of angels, making Cloud City, which was already stretched thin for troops, have even fewer available.

If Roy were in Isabel’s shoes, he should be first thinking of a way to resurrect his people, rather than chasing down the enemy bravely…

This was a good thing for Roy. He needed time to familiarize himself with his new power.

Julia and Benia came forward with a group of high-rank demons to greet him. When they were about two meters away from him, Julia and Benia knelt on one knee and said in unison, “Lord Osiris, welcome back!”

The high-rank demons followed suit and knelt to Roy, the newly promoted demon lord.

Previously, when Roy was still a high-rank demon, there were many high-rank demons who were secretly dissatisfied. Now, the pressure brought about by his rank as a lord made them no longer unable to stir up any ambitions.

Not every high-rank demon had the chance to become a demon lord. Putting everything else aside, the ritual of entering Heaven to obtain battle achievements had already caused countless high-rank demons to fall…

“Okay, get up!” Roy nodded. After receiving permission, the demons quickly made way for him. He walked in front, and Julia and Benia followed closely behind him. On the way, they met Giovanni, and he bootlicked Roy before they returned to the city.

In the demon hall, Roy sat on the throne and dismissed the idlers, leaving only Julia, Benia, and Giovanni before releasing Fat Tiger from the system space.

Fat Tiger was actually not in a good state. When he was guarding the Gate of Heaven, he had encountered the siege of many angels. He had thick skin and thick flesh and finally managed to persevere, but now, he looked a bit miserable. All over his body were sword wounds and injuries from various holy magic attacks, so the most urgent matter was to treat his wounds first.
