Chapter 494: Where Did the Fingernails Go?....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Any intelligent life would feel immense pain and torment when it was infected by the Void.
This pain and torture did not only refer to the body but also the soul.
This continuous, seemingly endless pain was mixed with all kinds of strange illusions. Moreover, these illusions would constantly change scenes according to the desires deep in the hearts of the infected. They would bring you the despair of falling straight into the abyss when you were the happiest. And when you were in despair, they would suddenly make you ecstatic. In short, they would continuously play with the thoughts of intelligent creatures and constantly attack the will of intelligent creatures until they completely collapsed. The Void power would then be able to take advantage of them.
Back then, the Dragon of Chaos of the Heroes of Might and Magic world,
Urgash, had been tortured to madness. While he was sleeping and healing, Void power had infected him. Although Urgash had also resisted, he had still declared his loss over the long years. When Roy and Julia left, Urgash had completely turned into a Void creature. Not only had he devoured Ashan, but he had also devoured the moon in the universe and the Dragon of Creation, Asha, who was recuperating in the moon.
Perhaps the existence of Ashan might no longer be found in the Infinite Worlds anymore. The spatial coordinates of this world had probably become nothingness, leaving only Void Lord Urgash entrenched there…
Roy’s current situation was very similar to Urgash’s. His body and soul were suffering maddening pain and torture at the same time. He might be able to resist it for a while, but as time passed, he would probably embark on the same path as Urgash.
The physical pain and torture could be endured through willpower, but he could only rely on the power of the divine spark to resist the pain and torture of the soul.
In the depths of Roy’s soul, he could even rotate his divine spark continuously. Two endless snakes were chasing each other, and every time they rotated, they would emit a circle of light and expel some of the madness and darkness surging from the depths of his soul. The two forces would cycle back and forth, competing with each other.
Roy felt extremely glad that he had fused with the divine spark and promoted to the demon king level before coming into direct contact with Void power. This gave him the confidence to resist the Void’s corrosion at the soul level. Perhaps this was why Urgash could last so long. Roy wondered that if without this divine spark, would he have declared that his resistance had failed the moment he came into contact with Void power and then fallen to it thoroughly?
Such consequences made him shudder…
Roy could still hold on for a short time, but it would be difficult to say if it took longer, so he could only try his best to focus on the changes in his body and hope that the magic power circuits could complete the transformation before he completely collapsed. Otherwise, everything would really be over.
One day passed quickly, then two days, three days, and a full week. Roy blocked the Void rift and kept fighting against the Void’s corrosion.
During these seven days, Roy’s location had become a forbidden zone. Julia, Benia, Sareth, Sparda, Dante, Vergil, Bayonetta, Jeanne, and the others had been waiting and watching from afar. They had dispelled all the angels and demons in this space and did not let any creatures approach.
In fact, they did not need to dispel them. Any being with some intelligence could feel the terrifying aura coming from this area. Even if they were curious, the terrifying and despairing aura would completely suppress their curiosity…
“It’s been a week… Will Osiris succeed?” Sparda said worriedly while looking at the black spot in the center of the area from afar.
But no one could answer his question. Only Dante hugged his shoulder and said, “Take it easy, old man. There’s only so much we can do. If Osiris really fails, it’ll be nothing more than the destruction of the world. We won’t be able to escape either, so we might as well eat, drink, and be more carefree while waiting for the result.”
Sparda knew that Dante was right. They really could not do anything, so he could only sigh. “Ahhh, I’ve always thought that it’s definitely not a good thing for an existence that exceeds the norm to appear in this world. Because once something happens to him, or he does something, we don’t even have the ability to stop him…’
But before Sparda finished speaking, the center of the area suddenly changed!
The enormous black ball that had enveloped the rift earlier had been slowly expanding in all directions, but now, it suddenly began to shrink. The density of the spreading black lightning also began to shrink.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked and immediately flew forward.
When they arrived about a thousand meters away from the rift, they stopped. At this moment, their line of sight was extremely clear. They were shocked to see that the corroding Void power had indeed contracted. But what replaced it was an indescribable object appearing in the rift!
Rather, it was a… gray mist. This gray mist had a humanoid shape, and on the periphery of this humanoid shape, the endlessly distorting mist was constantly emitting and dissipating. Moreover, this mist did not give people the feeling of being light, but it was very textured, like a liquid.
The facial features of the humanoid mist were long gone, making it impossible for everyone to tell if this was Roy. Without a nose and a mouth, there were only three golden-red light spots on the head, which seemed to be eyes. These three eyes matched Roy’s. But the problem was that behind the humanoid mist, there was only a pair of enormous mist wings, not his three pairs.
Even Julia and Benia were stunned. Roy was the only one in the center of the rift, but this humanoid mist made them not dare to connect it with Roy’s appearance…
“What happened?!” Sareth said in surprise. “Is that Foster Father? That doesn’t seem right! ”
“Did it succeed or fail?” Dante’s hand could not help but reach behind his back and hold his two guns.
It was the same for Vergil. He subconsciously held the hilt of his katana. Dante asked, “Is this thing the Void creature you mentioned?”
“I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like it…” Julia and Benia were at a loss.
“Let’s go closer and take a look. But be careful!” Bayonetta suggested.
The group carefully flew forward in the sky. The closer they got, the larger the humanoid mist was. It was probably more than forty meters tall, and it was not an exaggeration to call it the body of a titan.
Just as everyone was wondering if they should ask, Fat Tiger, who was holding Sareth, suddenly sniffed forward with all three of his heads. Then he barked three times and excitedly rushed forward with Sareth.
Sareth immediately understood what was going on and said excitedly, “It’s Foster Father! It’s definitely Foster Father! Fat Tiger smelled Foster Father’s soul. It can’t be wrong!”
When Julia and Benia heard this, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that Fat Tiger had always been Roy’s pet and was connected to Roy’s soul. Others might be mistaken, but Fat Tiger definitely would not.
As expected, when everyone approached a little closer, the humanoid mist discovered them. Its towering body lowered its head, and its three golden-red eyes looked at everyone. Then the entire mist body began to twist and turn, and its entire body began to shrink slowly.
This humanoid mist was indeed Roy. After spending so much time, he finally waited for the complete transformation of his magic power circuits. But what he had not expected was that after the magic power circuits changed, his body had begun to undergo tremendous changes simultaneously.
His originally solid muscles and bones had turned into mist, and even his blood had disappeared. His entire physical body had turned into this mist. Even the three pairs of demon wings on his back had fused into a pair of enormous mist wings under the mist state.
Roy was dumbfounded. Not only had he changed from his original realism style to this Cthulhu style, but the mist that permeated the periphery of his body even gave people the feeling of ink painting. Such an immense transformation was completed in such a short time that even the demons were caught off guard.
Demons were creatures that would constantly evolve as their strength increased. This was normal. But the problem was that no one had told him that demons could evolve to this state…
Is this the so-called Chaos Demon? It feels different from what I imagined…
Right, the interface! Look at the interface, and I’ll understand!
Roy returned to his senses and quickly contacted the system interface. Fortunately, even though he had changed drastically, the system still existed, and he could call it out as he wished.
But he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the first part of the panel’s attributes.
Name: Roy
Race: Demon
Bloodline: Quantum Demon…
What the hell!?!
Shouldn’t it be Chaos Demon?! Why did the system label ofmy bloodline suddenly become quantum demon?!
What is this quantum demon?! Is there such a demon in the Abyss?!
Roy did not recover from this bloodline title for a long time because it was too unexpected.
After sensing someone approaching and seeing that it was Julia and the others, Roy woke up from his dilemma. This mist body was too big, and he could not communicate normally in this state, so he began to try to gather his body.
Fortunately, although this mist looked strange, it was indeed a part of his body. With his thoughts, he easily controlled it and began to condense it toward the center. According to his original memories, it returned to the height of about four meters.
Although his height had returned, he could not change his appearance back. Only the original two demon eyes and the divine spark eye were left on his face, and the rest was all in the form of mist. The three eyes looked exceptionally bright under the contrast of the mist. When his head moved casually, the three streams of light also kept moving back and forth.
In everyone’s opinion, Roy’s current appearance was simply cool to the sky. He was full of endless mystery and strangeness, and his aura was even more suffocating than his previous demon king body.
Only Roy was not used to it. He stretched out his hands and looked at the flowing gray mist on his fingertips.
“Where are my nails?!”
