Chapter 383 - How to Return? (1/2)
Seeing the roots of the Red Sea Egg wrap around the insect egg fossils, Roy thought that it was indeed so.
Beelzebub was known as the Lord of the Flies, so the eggs he left behind should have most likely hatched into giant flies. Unfortunately, Roy did not know if it was because Beelzebub had not given the order for these eggs to hatch when he left, but the eggs had maintained their appearance for a long time without hatching. Now, not only were these eggs gradually fossilizing, but the magic power in them was also about to dissipate.
But it was about to dissipate, meaning that there was still some remaining. With millions of insect eggs added together, this amount of magic power was not small.
Beelzebub was a big shot, and he would not feel the pinch if he wasted this magic power. But for Roy, he could use the magic power here. It was the best fertilizer for planting the Red Sea Egg.
The Red Sea Egg could be said to be a gene editor with extremely powerful functions. But correspondingly, if he wanted to make it work, he needed to provide it with enough energy, which was either magic power or blood food. In short, he had to provide it with nutrients. In fact, he had been worried about where to find so much fertilizer for the Red Sea Egg. If he really could not find any, he would have had to provide magic power himself. But he did not expect to find so many fly eggs deep underground
If he did not make use of them, it would have been a wasted trip.
The flesh roots of the Red Sea Egg spread to these insect eggs and split apart to wrap around them. Under the watchful eyes of Roy and Benia, these insect eggs were gradually unable to maintain their shape. The insect eggs that had their energy absorbed turned into stone and shattered under the heavy pressure, finally turning into gravel.
The bud of the Red Sea Egg was growing rapidly at a visible speed.
Upon seeing this scene, Benia asked Roy in fear, “These things… are the insect eggs left behind by Demon King Beelzebub. Is it really okay for this thing to eat it?”
Roy looked at her and smiled. “What’s the problem? Don’t forget that even low-level monsters like Big Black dare to eat the insect eggs. Are you worried that Beelzebub will come look for us?”
After a pause, Roy continued, “To be honest, I was a little worried at the beginning. He should have placed this shell in the alternate space because he wanted to save it and keep it as a clone or something. After all, there is a large amount of magic power sealed in it. With slight modification, it would become a powerful clone… But now, as you’ve seen, even the insect eggs are all about to turn into fossils, meaning that it has been a long time. I guess that he has probably forgotten about this matter.”
“Okay, I hope it’s as you say…” After hearing Roy’s answer, Benia felt relieved. Although she had suggested for him to think of a way to find the enlightenment of becoming a demon king from Beelzebub’s shell, and this idea was certainly very exciting, after seeing him really take action, she felt a little uneasy.
After all, she was merely a high-rank demon. To her, the demon king level was too high-end.
Roy waited quietly for the Red Sea Egg to grow as thoughts were running through his mind. This shell of Beelzebub contained high-quality magic power at the demon king level. Just the aura of this level of magic power made his heart palpitate and fearful. But after personally sensing it, the total amount of magic power contained in it was not much. Perhaps it was because it was stored in an alternate space and could not prevent the magic power from dissipating, but the amount of magic power contained in this shell was probably about the same as Roy’s. In terms of numbers, it was between eighty to one hundred thousand.
Of course, this was actually very terrifying. After all, this was only an empty shell left behind by Beelzebub, but it was actually as powerful as a demon lord, making Roy unable to imagine how powerful a demon king was!
If a demon lord was a demigod, then a demon king should be a true god, right?
“Do you think Beelzebub’s main body is stronger than Urgash?” Roy suddenly asked Benia.
Upon hearing this question, Benia was stunned. When she left the world of Ashan, she had seen Urgash escape with her own eyes, so she naturally understood the mighty prestige he had when he appeared. But suddenly getting her to compare them, she really could not say anything
After thinking about it, Benia shook her head. “I really don’t know. After all, Urgash isn’t a demon born in the Abyss, and his strength and nature should be different from those of demons, so it’s hard to compare. Moreover, the true body you mentioned… should be referring to Beelzebub’s Deadly Sin Demon King level body. That level has already far exceeded my imagination… If you want me to say it, then I’ll bet on Beelzebub. I think he’s stronger.”
