Chapter 282 Eternal Frost Crystal

Chapter 282 Eternal Frost Crystal

Roy was speechless for a while when he received a report from Benia that numerous zombie animals had appeared on the canyon plains.

In fact, Roy had a premonition from the beginning that once he used the T-Virus, the proliferation and spread might not be able to be stopped, but he did not expect it to be so fast.

Of course, because this world was a high-magic world, the creatures living here were physically stronger, and their resistance to the virus might be higher. Especially for those high-level creatures, the possibility of infection was relatively low. The population density of this world was not too high, so it might not be easy to achieve the degree of global proliferation. But no matter what, the spread of the T-Virus was ultimately a crisis for this world.

However, Roy did not do anything about it. If the virus spread, then it spread. Anyway, with his identity as a demon, even if he stopped it from spreading, the people of this world would not be grateful to him. On the contrary, as the T-Virus spread, people would feel fear and respect for him, the lead.

After experiencing so many worlds, he finally understood what was going on with demons. To be honest, for some worlds, even if demons did not destroy them, the people of these worlds would often seek death themselves. In the Infinite Worlds, survival and destruction were just a process of continuous evolution. In this process, demons and angels were only acting as catalysts.

Roy knew that there was a true Creator. Although he did not know where this Creator went, since he had left the demon race behind, this race had to fulfill its corresponding mission. What Roy was doing now was merely fulfilling his duty.

He was a dedicated demon and wanted to love his line of work...

Perhaps this world might perish because of the spread of the T-Virus he created, but it was also possible that before that, war would destroy this world first. Who knew what would happen?

Perhaps the seers of the Blind Brothers could see some future scenes through prophecy, but what did this have to do with Roy?

Therefore, after knowing this, Roy nodded to show that he knew. He did not say anything else and continued to study space magic in the library.

There were a lot of things to do. Although Roy’s landslide had buried Arantir’s undead army, as long as they dug out the stones and trees above them, Cassandra could still use the undead, but the premise was that Cassandra could obtain enough death power from Rafaro to promote. Otherwise, she would be unable to control so many undead troops.

Benia had finished engraving the magic formation, and they could activate and open Gates of the Abyss at any time and summon a large number of demons from the Abyss.

During this time, Roy communicated with her and learned from her that her sister, the succubus Biara, was now disguised as Queen Isabel of Erathia, and the true queen was missing. Perhaps this was a scheme of the demons, but Benia did not know much about it. However, she had specially learned about the situation of the demons in this world.

She told Roy that the origin of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, was no longer verifiable, but it was actually wrong to say that demons were descendants of Urgash. In fact, the Dragon of Chaos was probably the first in this world to open a Gate of the Abyss and connect to the Abyss. In order to fight against Asha, Urgash borrowed the power of the demons of the Abyss. The demons coveted this world and reached an agreement with him. They chose to be loyal to Urgash, and after signing a long-lasting demon contract with him, they could stay in this world forever without being expelled.

The so-called Inferno in this world, Sheogh, was the stronghold established by the first batch of demons loyal to Urgash. For millions of years, as the demons gave birth to descendants in this world, Sheogh demons had already become demons born and bred in this world. They could only be regarded as a branch of the Abyss demons. In fact, if these native demons wanted to return to the Abyss, they might not even be able to go because the Abyss would actually repulse them.

These native demons did not have the protection of the Ouroboros Mark. Once they died, they would really die...

Due to this situation, Sheogh demons were constantly declining. In the past, Sheogh still had demon kings, but now, only demon lords were present. They had no choice but to seek help from their old hometown and summon powerful demons from the Abyss to take part in the war.

Although Benia’s sister, Biara, came from the Abyss, she had now joined the Sheogh demons’ army and was on the same side as Xeron. After Benia learned that Roy’s target was Xeron, she knew that her target was actually the same as Roy’s, so her suggestion to Roy was to use this opportunity to defeat the master behind Xeron and Biara, Demon Lord Kha-Beleth, and thus become a new demon lord.

When Benia made this suggestion, Roy was a little puzzled because he remembered what Solmyr had said before he died. So he asked Benia if he needed a ritual to promote to demon lord.

Then Benia told Roy that this was a tradition passed down in Sheogh, and it was a ritual unique to this world. If he wanted to become a demon lord in this world, he had to challenge an original demon lord. Such a rule was not necessarily universal in the Abyss because there were still many territories that had yet to be opened in the Abyss. If Roy became a demon lord, he could just find a territory that belonged to him. Unless he was interested in the territories of other demon lords, then he would naturally have to fight with the original master. But if he found a masterless place, he could just directly make it his territory.

In other words, it was purely because this world was too small, and only Sheogh was suitable for demons to survive in. Therefore, if the demons in this world wanted to become demon lords, they could only ‘snatch the seat’...

After Benia explained for a while, Roy understood her intentions. She was probably worried that after this incident, the various races of Ashan would unite against him. After all, he had displayed an immense threat in the battle of Dendera Fortress. But if they learned that he was planning to promote to demon lord, they would realize that he might have a conflict with Kha-Beleth. Of course, the various countries were certainly eager for internal strife among the demons, the kind where they would beat one another’s brains out. At that time, they would definitely loosen the ropes and watch Roy and Kha-Beleth fight.

If Roy and Kha-Beleth suffered losses, it would be best. Then, the strength of the demons would suffer substantial damage, and the world of Ashan would welcome a long period of peace without worrying about demon invasions again. Even if the best outcome was not reached, no matter who won, the various countries would at most face one demon lord.

To Roy, the benefits were massive. If he lost to Kha-Beleth, of course he would have nothing to say. But if he won, he would become a new demon lord and take over the entire demon army of Sheogh. It was an enormous demon army, and there would be many high-rank demons serving him. With this army, he could even go to war with multiple countries at the same time and be full of confidence.

Roy actually knew that if he wanted to kill that bastard Xeron, it would definitely trigger Kha-Beleth’s nerves. In other words, unless he were to leave this world immediately and return to the Abyss after killing Xeron, he would have to meet with Kha-Beleth no matter what. Benia was now betting on Roy. Once Roy defeated Kha-Beleth and became a demon lord, then when she wanted to kill her sister, Biara, it would only be a few words from Roy, and she would be able to achieve it easily. Therefore, her suggestion was naturally in consideration for Roy from his perspective. Roy waved his hand and got Benia to leave first. He put down the book in his hand and took out the Sword of Frost that he had obtained from Gelu.

Roy’s current magic power was full and surging. Perhaps anyone would think he was no different from a demon lord, but only he knew that there was still some distance between him and that threshold. A true demon lord, demigod-level power, made him feel a little blurry.

Now, he felt slightly regretful. Back in the Darksiders world, the Lord of the Hollows had looked for him and said that he could lend power to let Roy experience the power of a demon lord first. But at that time, because he felt that it was a huge ploy, Roy had rejected it. While he agreed on the surface, he did not move at all. Thus, he could not experience the power of a true demon lord from the Lord of the Hollows.

Regret was regret. But if Roy could choose again, he would still reject it.

He was confident, confident that he could complete this promotion himself...

The Sword of Frost was an extremely powerful artifact in this world. During the few days he had obtained this sword, Roy had taken time to study it. His previous guess was right. This sword was an exceptionally good item for his frost power to break through to a lower temperature!

When he placed the Sword of Frost into the system space, the system automatically analyzed its attributes for him. Excluding the sword hilt and the like, the essence of the Sword of Frost was in the blade. Among the attributes marked by the system, the blade was an ‘Eternal Frost Crystal! This Eternal Frost Crystal was an extremely wonderful thing. According to the system, it would always absorb heat from the outside world, but the molecular motion inside it would always remain at a constant low-speed motion state. In other words, it would never heat up and melt.

This was something that exceeded common sense. Roy did not know how it was born, but magic power could stimulate it to expand the area of heat absorption in the outside world without limit. This was why Gelu could create the effect of ice and snow within hundreds of kilometers with a swing of this sword.

The temperature of the Eternal Frost Crystal had always been at -253.4°C. This was the temperature measured by the system, and it was a constant value that would never change. In other words, in theory, if Roy could absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal, then the temperature that his frost magic power could create would easily reach this value.

Roy had always been aiming for absolute zero in the past, but he knew that this might just be pure fantasy. In fact, the so-called absolute zero was only a theoretical extreme. Even human scientists who proposed absolute zero had never reached this temperature under laboratory conditions! They could only be infinitely close to this extreme value.

Even though Daddy System was so omnipotent that it could use his souls to bring about this extreme temperature, the number of souls he would spend at that time would probably be unimaginable. The consumption of souls that Roy had calculated before might have been wrong. The consumption might increase exponentially the closer he was to absolute zero. Not to mention millions, it might be even billions or tens of billions of souls!

Now, Roy could only create a temperature of around -220°C through his magic power and the Cryogenic Fate skill. He did not know how many souls he would need to consume if he wanted to use them to reach the -253.4°C of the Eternal Frost Crystal. However, if he could absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal, it would be equivalent to saving countless souls out of thin air, so he had to give it a try no matter what.

However, the troublesome thing was precisely the characteristic of constant temperature. Roy had been continually designing plans over the past few days to see how he could absorb this Eternal Frost Crystal...
