Chapter 361 New Magic Power Circuit
When Roy left the secret room and returned to the ground, he could still hear screams coming from afar.
It was Benia torturing her sister, Biara. He did not know what kind of torment she was using to make her screams sound so tragic, and even some low-level demons were walking far away in fear.
Roy shook his head. To be honest, he could not understand the hatred between the twin demons. They were clearly twins, and they were supposed to love each other. But in the thinking of demons, they were enemies that would not rest until the other party died. He reckoned that Biara must have regretted not killing her sister immediately when she caught her. Now that things had changed, her sister had caught her instead.
Perhaps Benia would only kill Biara after she was done torturing her. But before that, these screams that spread throughout the Ur-Hekal would probably last for some time.
Roy did not care too much. After returning to the demon hall, he began planning. He first carefully sensed the pressure exerted by the world’s repulsive effect on him and found that if he used all his magic power to resist it, he could stay in this world for a month at most.
It could not be helped. He had used the positioning beacon of the Dragon Balls to come to this world forcibly. His initial plan was to come and kill Xeron, but unexpectedly, he completed the promotion to demon lord in this world. Especially after Kha-Beleth died, he was now the leader of the entire demon camp. If he were still a high-rank demon, he might be able to stay in this world for a year or two. In this war-prone world, one year was enough for him to harvest numerous benefits. But after becoming a demon lord, the repulsive effect of the world increased, and he did not have much time left.
If he could have established a contract with Urgash, then he could have used the power of the contract to resist the repulsive effect. But with Urgash’s current situation, he did not dare to have any contact with him.
In fact, it was possible to use another method. For example, if he could sign a contract with one of the Elemental Dragons, it should be useful. After returning from Heaven, Roy had already discovered that the angels who stayed in this world had actually signed a contract with the Dragon of Light, Elrath. But Elrath’s strength could not compare to that of the Dragon of Order, Asha. This might be one of the reasons why there were so few high-level forces in Heaven now.
Roy took out the two Demon Bible stone steles he obtained from Kha-Beleth’s treasury, rubbed them repeatedly, and carefully felt the strange power on them.
Although the power on these two stone steles had to do with the world repulsive effect, and they could be seen as a relatively powerful expulsion incantation, they were not of much help to him. But his intuition told him that things were probably not that simple.
Be it angels or demons, as their power increased, the repulsive effect they received when entering non-origin worlds would become stronger. It would be fine if it was a high-magic world. It might have higher ‘compatibility’, allowing angels or demons to stay longer. But if it was a low-magic world, then sorry, the ‘compatibility’ was too low, and it was possible to refuse their entry directly.
Therefore, the question was, if it continued to develop in this way, wouldn’t Roy become trapped in the Abyss after becoming a top demon king? Thinking about how he might really become like this in the future and be trapped in a corner and only able to stay in that dark and silent Abyss for a long time, he felt that it was too depressing. Even when he wanted to obtain souls, he could only send his subordinates out and not go on stage personally. In that case, what was the point of demons pursuing supreme power?
Therefore, Roy believed that there must be a way to solve this paradox. After all, there were many demons in the Abyss who were stronger than him. He did not believe that the demon kings did not realize this problem. They must have spared no effort to find a way to break through the world repulsive effect. Roy fiddled with them for a long time and did not figure out a reason. But there was still that one word-intuition! Why did the Demon Bible steles not possess any other power, such as darkness or flames? These were powers that matched the Abyss, but not only did the steles not have these powers, but the world repulsive force suddenly appeared. This was what Roy felt was wrong.
That guy Kha-Beleth would not have thrown these two Demon Bible steles into his treasury for no reason. Perhaps he also noticed their strangeness.
But he might not have been able to figure out what these two steles were for, so after a long time of fruitlessness, he could only toss them away in his treasury. Now, Roy had obtained them easily.
Are these steles some kind of seal? Or some kind of… backdoor? Roy guessed. Some backdoor that can protect creatures from other worlds from the repulsive effect?
