Chapter 526: Roy’s True Intention
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When light reappeared in his eyes, the Eye of the Void on Roy’s chest slowly closed. This eye was only an auxiliary organ that could only function in the Void environment. The Void runes on his wings also lost their light. These things meant that Roy had returned to the material world.
“Ah, the material world is still the best!” Roy sighed. He looked down, stretched out his hand, and used his sharp index finger and thumbnail to pick up a high-rank demon nearby. This high-rank demon was about two meters tall, but he looked so short in front of Roy’s mist body. Roy grabbed the back of his neck and hung him in the air. This demon didn’t dare to move at all, and his eyes were full of awe and worship as he looked at Roy obediently.
“How long have I been away?” Roy asked.
“Your Majesty Osiris, your aura disappeared from the battlefield for about four hours…” the high -rank demon replied respectfully.
Roy nodded. Four hours? It was a little long. He threw this high-rank demon aside and observed the situation on the battlefield. He found that the demons had done well. At least they had broken the barrier of the Silver City.
From this, it could be seen that the demons were very efficient in carrying out orders. Roy hadn’t given any instructions when he was exiled, and the demons had always been following the initial attack orders. During the time he disappeared, they hadn’t slacked off at all.
Roy felt that it had been a while since he left, but Tyrael’s eyes were full of shock. He didn’t expect Roy to return so quickly!
Void! That was the Void! Two Archangels exiled him together, but they could only trap him in the Void for four hours?!
“Damn it. When did such a monstrous demon appear in the Abyss?!” Cold sweat broke out on Tyrael’s forehead. His body was still in the appearance of a
mortal, and his eyes kept sweeping around Roy. But he couldn’t see Auriel returning with him. He knew that this was troublesome. Something might have happened to her.
“Inform Imperius immediately!” Tyrael grabbed an angel warrior beside him and said anxiously, “Tell him that Osiris has returned from the Void and get him to come help!”
The angel warrior nodded and quickly turned around to fly toward the Silver
City. Tyrael looked at the hundreds of angel warriors beside him and shouted, “All angel warriors, fight Demon King Osiris with me! We can’t let him attack the Diamond Gates!”
“As you command!”
With Tyrael as the arrowhead, hundreds of angels flapped their light wings and rushed down from the sky toward Roy.
Looking at the hundreds of streams of light flying toward him, Roy sneered and raised his palm to aim at the angel army charging at him. The next second, countless purple lightning bolts blasted from his palm. These purple lightning bolts turned into a large net that enveloped the angel army.
Seeing Roys attack, Tyrael knew that there was something strange about the purple lightning, so he shouted, “Be careful!” Then he took the lead to pull up, wanting to avoid Roy’s attack.
But apart from the group of angel warriors in front who reacted quickly, it was too late for the angels charging at high speed behind. Although they tried their best to fly up, the incomparably swift lightning bolts had already reached them. Seeing that they were about to be hit by the lightning, they could only try their best to strengthen their holy light shields to resist the attack.
But then something strange happened. All the angel warriors hit by the purple lightning didn’t suffer any elemental damage. The moment they were hit, they were enveloped in a purple halo. Then with a bang, all the bodies of the angel warriors disappeared, replaced by all kinds of… food falling from the sky?!
There was cheese, candy, cookies, chocolate, and even cola. There were all kinds of things.
Seeing this scene, Tyrael was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. The other angels who luckily dodged were the same.
The food that fell from the sky finally landed on the battlefield. The demons on the ground, who had their heads raised and were howling, were hit in the head by the food. They lowered their heads in confusion and sniffed the food. When they smelled the tempting aroma coming from it, they tentatively swallowed the food.
The next second, the eyes of these demons who were lucky enough to pick up a piece of food lit up!
It was too delicious! Not only could they taste the angel’s soul from the food, but it also had a fascinating taste that they had never had experienced before when they ate raw meat and blood!
The taste of angel souls was actually not good to demons. But now that angels were made into sweets, it was immediately different. Many demons had never tasted what sweet was before, so after tasting it for the first time, they were immediately fascinated by this special taste. In their hearts, there was immediately a formula: angel = sweet food!
There was still some uneaten food on the ground. The demons on the battlefield, who had had a taste, immediately began to fight over them. Their actions attracted the other demons who had not eaten anything, and they even caused a small riot.
Soon, the food that these angels had turned into were divided up. When the demons finally found that they were gone, they turned around and looked at Roy eagerly, hoping that Lord Osiris would give them some more rewards.
Yes, reward. This was Roy’s small reward for the demons who had been fighting. He had not used the Transfiguration Beam for a long time, and now that he combined it with the power of lightning to release it, the effect was extraordinary. The angels, whose strength was far lower than his, were eaten by the demons before they could transform back.
Tyrael’s eyes widened. Hundreds ofangel warriors are gonejust like that?! Even their souls didn’t have time to return to the Crystal Arch?!
Tyrael, who was blinded by anger, rushed at Roy without care. He slashed at him with the El’druin. The area covered by the light wings behind him had already expanded several times, and he had clearly used all his strength.
Roy, on the other hand, shrank his mist body to a height of more than three meters. Then he took out Frostmourne and slashed at Tyrael. The battle between the two detonated large amounts of energy shock waves, and the surrounding demons and angels screamed as they dodged.
“Why?! Why can you come back from the Void?!” Tyrael asked angrily as he fought Roy. ‘What kind of demon are you?!”
“Why are you so angry?” Roy grinned sinisterly as he slammed his sword forward, sending Tyrael flying a few meters away. Then he rushed forward and slashed Frostmourne at his light wings. “You should understand that since I dared to enter the High Heavens alone, I naturally have something to rely on! Don’t tell me you thought I was overestimating myself?”
“Damn it! In the name of justice, I must defeat you!” Tyrael avoided Roy’s slash and waved his light wings to fire countless holy light bullets at him. But Roy’s body suddenly disintegrated and turned into countless fist-sized individuals, all of which were exactly the same as Roy. With the help of the clones of the Heart of the Swarm, he dodged all of the holy light bullets Tyrael shot out.
Then thousands of fist-sized individuals pounced behind Tyrael and lay on his light wings. Dark Cold magic power erupted, instantly freezing his light wings with black ice.
Tyrael’s light wings were frozen. Although he didn’t fall, his mobility was greatly affected. Taking advantage of this opportunity, hundreds of thousands of Roy’s clones split into five groups and gathered together to fuse into five clones about a meter tall. The right hands of these clones were all wearing smaller Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlets as they punched all over Tyrael’s body.
Tyrael’s entire body trembled from the beating. Although the damage was not much, it was extremely insulting. When he roared and swung his sword to cut these clones, the clones actually turned into smaller bodies again and calmly dodged the slashes.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?!”
Roy’s strange abilities made Tyrael complain endlessly. He had actually already used his authority power. Although he had taken over the position of the Angel of Wisdom, he was still using the power of his authority of justice. Under the power of his authority, Tyrael’s El’druin could cut open all evil things. But let alone the fact that he couldn’t attack Roy’s main body now, he hadn’t even been able to cut Roy’s sword when he slashed Frostmourne just now!
He couldn’t believe it and couldn’t help roaring angrily, “How can El’druin not cut through your evil?!”
Hearing this, Roy stopped attacking, took back all the swarm clones, and condensed his main body. He looked at the panting Tyrael and smiled. “Why not? Tyrael, Mephisto told me some information about the power of your authority. Your holy sword seems to be able to cut all evil things, but I want to ask you, have I done anything evil since I came to this world?”
“You…” Tyrael was instantly stuck. Yes, after he thought about it carefully,
Demon King Osiris didn’t seem to have harmed any mortals after coming to Sanctuary. At least, he had not personally killed or harvested any mortal souls. Ever since he descended, he had been hiding behind the scenes.
This was indeed the case. Ever since Roy descended, he had never dealt with the nephalem of Sanctuary. The people of the island of Xiansai, where he lived in seclusion, didn’t even Imow of his existence. Even though a lot of demon gold had flowed out of his hands later, the demon gold was only amplifying the evil thoughts in the depths of mortals’ hearts. It didn’t have much to do with Roy himself, and the cause and effect wouldn’t affect him.
After coming to this world, he had only done two things. One was to imprison Tyrael’s soul, and the other was to lead an army of demons into the High
Heavens.
Tyrael was puzzled. Logically speaking, attacking the High Heavens was already considered evil…
What went wrong?!
Roy seemed to see Tyrael’s doubt and grinned. “Tyrael, don’t tell me you think that attacking angels must be evil? Sorry, your sword doesn’t seem to think so! In this world, your High Heavens doesn’t seem to represent justice!”
A thunderclap rumbled in Tyrael’s mind. Roy’s words completely woke him up. He looked bitterly at El’druin in his hand. “Is that so? We don’t actually represent justice?”
“Archangel Tyrael, I don’t know how long you’ve been trapped in this world.. Roy raised his head. “Unlike you, I’ve been to many different worlds, and I’ve witnessed the fall of many angels. Since even angels can fall, why do you dare to say that angels are righteous? Tyrael, your understanding of your authority seems to be problematic!”
‘ Tyrael floated motionless in the air, thinking about Roy’s words. But after a while, the dejected light in his eyes disappeared. He looked up at Roy. “No! It’s not that my understanding of the authority is problematic, but you! Demon King Osiris, you don’t have any ill intentions toward this world, right?!”
Roy looked at him in surprise. “Huh? You’ve actually realized it?”
He nodded and admitted openly, “That’s right. Unlike what you think, I never thought of destroying Sanctuary from the beginning!”
“Then, what exactly do you want to do?” Tyrael asked curiously. “Aren’t you here because of Mephisto? What else can the seven demon kings want to do besides destroying Sanctuary?”
“Mephisto didn’t tell me the truth. They’ve actually already escaped. Their true purpose in looking for me might be to deal with another person…” Roy shook his head. He was talking about Lilith, but there was no need to make this too clear to Tyrael. “As for myself, I actually want to save this Sanctuary world. I plan to give my child… a playground!”
“A playground? Your child?” Tyrael frowned. “A… demon prince?” “No, my child is a nephalem!” Roy’s shocking words stunned Tyrael.
“H-how is that possible? Are you lying to me?!” Tyrael roared in disbelief. “Is it fun to fool me?”
“Why would I lie to you? Is there any benefit?” Roy looked at him angrily.
“That’s my adopted son, Sareth. In another world, he was known as the Dark Messiah. He’s a child of misfortune. In that world, be it angels, humans, or demons, they all wanted to kill him. I brought him back to the Abyss and raised him… Sareth is a good child, but the Abyss isn’t too suitable for him. He’ll only become a demon there in the end, and he should have more choices… He’s still young, but he’ll grow up. Sanctuary is full of nephalem, so they can be considered his compatriots. Perhaps he can live unrestrained in this world…”
. Understood!” Tyrael took a deep breath. “Regardless of whether you’re deceiving me or not, I understand why you attacked the High Heavens: You want to expel all the angels! Without the angels, the Eternal Conflict will end, and the seven demon kings and demons can return to the Abyss. And you can protect Sanctuary from the hands of the seven demon kings with your great battle achievements of conquering the High Heavens. Is that right?”
“Basically! ” Roy nodded. “If Mephisto and the other old men don’t agree, maybe I’ll fight them…”
Tyrael looked at Roy strangely. “To be honest, I even wonder if you’re a true demon!”
Hearing this, Roy pondered for a moment before finally saying, “It depends.. When I think so, I am!”
