Chapter 394 - Opening a Gate of the Abyss (1/2)
About three days later, Sareth finally familiarized himself with the use of his weapons and was ready to set off.
In the volcanic crater stood a newly built altar. On this altar, which covered an area of hundreds of square meters, there was a gigantic magic formation and countless demon characters engraved on it. At this moment, Roy was squatting and adjusting the magic formation of this altar.
His demon claws glowed with the radiance of magic power as he gently pressed them on the magic formation and twisted them from time to time. The demon runes in the magic formation were divided into twelve fan-shaped sections, like a clock. As his hands moved, they rearranged the alignment of the demon runes. Every time he finished aligning a demon rune, it would go into effect and immediately emit the light of magic power.
Outside the altar, Sareth and Cassandra stood side by side. He looked curiously at Roy’s actions and asked Cassandra, “Mother Cassandra, what is Foster Father doing?” “He’s using space magic to adjust the altar and look for specific spatial coordinates!” The one who answered was Benia, who stood a little behind them with Julia and Fat Tiger. “Your foster father reproduced this altar from the altars of the upper level of the Abyss. Unlike the magic formations that simply summon demons, this one can open a Gate of the Abyss and connect to the Infinite Worlds. The adjustments he’s making now is to find the spatial coordinates of the world you’re going
to.”
“It sounds complicated…” Sareth scratched his head in confusion. Julia smiled and said, “Reproducing a Gate of the Abyss not only requires understanding spatial magic but also powerful magic power in cooperation. Only a demon lord like your foster father can do this. As for you, little guy, you don’t need to understand this now.” “Oh…” Sareth nodded, not really understanding.
Adjusting the altar took Roy more than two hours. After all twelve sections of the altar lit up with the light of magic power, he sighed and stood up. Even though Roy had been constantly researching space magic in depth over the years, it had taken him a lot of effort to arrange this altar. “Okay, Sareth, the altar is ready. I’ll help you open a Gate of the Abyss later!” Roy turned his head and said to Sareth, “But before that, I have something to tell you!”
“Okay. Say it, Foster Father. I’m listening!” Sareth said.
Roy walked in front of him and sat cross-legged. “You have to understand that demons usually can’t take the initiative to go to other worlds unless someone summons them in the other worlds with a ritual. This way, a spatial channel connecting both sides will form. This is the principle of the Gate of the Abyss. It represents that the Abyss has connected to the spatial coordinates of another world.
“What does this mean? It means that the worlds that demons go to are not chosen by themselves but passively chosen!” Roy continued. “I can respond to any summons request, but before I pass through the Gate of the Abyss and reach the opposite world, that world is completely unknown to me…”
Upon hearing this, Sareth nodded thoughtfully. “Foster Father, do you mean that the Gate of the Abyss you’re opening this time is special?”
“Yes!” Roy nodded. “What I said just now is the general situation, and it’s more like a blind guess to choose a world. But it’s different if you want to enter a specially specified world. Either someone is summoning demons in this specified world, or demons are going according to the spatial coordinates of the specified world. To do this, the premise is that demons have the spatial coordinates of this world.
“These coordinates can exist in the form of a beacon!” Roy said as he took out the Dragon Balls he made in the past and showed them to Sareth. “This thing is the beacon I mentioned. It’s a demon creation I created. It will continuously provide me with positioning information. I used them to go to the Ashan world where you were born, and then I met you and brought you back.”
Sareth touched the smooth crystal Dragon Balls curiously and then looked up at Roy. “Then, Foster Father, the world I’m going to doesn’t have these Dragon Balls for positioning.”
Roy smiled. “I haven’t been to that world, but other demons have, and there are many of them. The reason why I obtained the spatial coordinates of that world was that I found a demon who had been there and remembered the coordinates. From him, I obtained the spatial coordinates.”
Yes, Roy had obtained the spatial coordinates of the Devil May Cry world from another demon, a rift demon who was good at space magic. Only this kind of demon knew how to record the spatial coordinates of the worlds that they had been to. Other than rift demons, there were also demon lords. As for other demons, it was unlikely.
