Although it was only an increase of one thousandth, this increase was all-around, including Roy’s physical strength, magic power, spirit, soul, divine spark, and even his Chaos power and Void power.
Roy had the combination of all his strength to ‘1’, but this was a symbolic value. When it came to himself, this one-thousandth increase was visible to the naked eye. Putting everything else aside, in the system interface, his magic power of twenty million had soared by twenty thousand points in this increase, which was equivalent to the increase from devouring tens of thousands of souls.
Just the first increase made Roy very excited. He knew that as time went by, this increase would become stronger and stronger. Even he didn’t know how strong he would become in the end.
This Movement to the End of Reincarnation was a piece of background music that Roy had composed for himself. When the background music was finished, no one would be able to defeat him…
Knowing that his strength would grow even if he did nothing, Roy stayed in Mardum with peace of mind. He even used a small number of souls to make a game console for himself. This way, even the tedious life in Mardum no longer bothered him much.
There was no sunrise or sunset here, and there was no accurate reference point for the passage of time. However, this had no impact on Roy. He could calculate the time by the increases in his strength. After composing the movement ten times, which was more than 6,666 days later, Roy suddenly felt the violent spatial fluctuations in the sky. He threw down the game controller, flew out of his palace, and went into the sky to look up at the incomparably dark sky of the prison.
Over the years, Sargeras had thrown demons into Mardum from time to time, but the spatial fluctuations that occurred were not so intense. Now that the spatial fluctuations were so abnormal, Roy couldn’t help but wonder if Sargeras was ready to destroy Mardum.
Not only did Roy notice these violent spatial fluctuations, but many powerful demon lords also noticed them. Like Roy, they flew into the air and stared eagerly at the direction of the fluctuations.
Soon, a huge rift hundreds of kilometers long opened. The moment it opened in the dark sky, it immediately reflected the dazzling starry sky of the real world outside.
Seeing the appearance of this starry sky, the many demons in Mardum were excited. They had been trapped in this prison for too long and were extremely eager to get out. Now that they saw the connection between the Mardum plane and the real world appear, they ignored everything else and flew toward the rift above.
Diathorus was beside Roy at this moment. Seeing so many demons flying into the sky, he felt itchy and asked Roy, “Lord Osiris, the opportunity has come. Aren’t we going to escape?”
“Let’s wait and see!” Roy frowned in doubt. It didn’t seem like Sargeras wanted to open the prison.
With this delay, the situation changed. Before the demons could fly to the rift, Sargeras’s giant head had already appeared in it. He looked a little dispirited, and his temper was unexpectedly irritable. Seeing the demons flying toward the rift, he didn’t even say a word and directly slapped them down.
This palm was so large that it covered the sky and the stars, filling the entire rift. None of the demons who wanted to escape were spared. This enormous palm enveloped them all, and then Sargeras’s immense force slammed them down from the sky, smashing them into piles of meat paste on the ground!
After casually slapping the demons who wanted to escape, Sargeras didn’t say anything. He looked down at the land in Mardum from the sky and began searching.
An idea flashed in Roy’s mind. He immediately spread his wings and flew into the sky. At the same time, he enlarged his body so that Sargeras could see him clearly.
After the slap just now, no demons dared to fly toward the rift anymore, so Roy’s flying became even more conspicuous. Just as Diathorus thought in horror that Lord Osiris, whom he was now loyal to, would be flattened by Sargeras like the demons before, he saw Sargeras’s eyes light up, and his dispirited and anxious aura calmed down a little. “Osiris, you came at the right time. I’m looking for you!”
It didn’t matter if Sargeras didn’t speak. But the moment he opened his mouth, the demons watching in Mardum were shocked. Their cunning eyes looked at Roy, who was slowly flying up, in doubt, thinking about what the relationship between Sargeras and Osiris was…
Hearing Sargeras’s words, Roy grinned. He had guessed right. Sargeras had opened the prison for no other reason than to find him!
Therefore, he laughed loudly. “Oh? Lord Sargeras, are you here to bring me out of prison?”
“Stop talking nonsense!” A look of annoyance appeared on Sargeras’s face as he stretched out his hand to grab Roy. “Come out. I have something to ask you!”
Roy didn’t resist and let Sargeras grab him. After he comforted Rafaro, Sargeras grabbed him from the rift and took him out of Mardum.
The moment Roy left, the huge rift in the sky above Mardum immediately closed. The demons in the prison were moving back and forth uneasily, especially those far away from Roy’s territory. They had started unconsciously heading toward his territory…
After arriving in the real world, Roy observed his surroundings first. He found that he was still in the starry sky of the universe, but in his vision not far away, there was an astonishing scene.
It was… a massive planet that was disintegrating!
From the surface, this planet no longer had any color to speak of. The surface of the planet was full of decaying black and gray, making it look like a gigantic sore. An enormous fissure on the planet’s sphere cut through it in the middle, and the immense energy in the core had found a way to vent. It was spewing out unrestrainedly along this fissure, and scarlet, high-temperature magma spurted out like an explosion. At the same time, it tore apart the entire land on the surface, causing spider web-like cracks to appear in the upper and lower hemispheres.
The planet was collapsing, but this process was quite long, and it wouldn’t completely explode all of a sudden. The reason was that there was a huge… Old God inside this planet!
This Old God had already grown to a very large size. Its arthropod-like tentacles were buried deep underground, acting as connectors. It was precisely because of these tentacles that the planet didn’t explode into pieces.
The scene in front of him was very terrifying. Roy narrowed his eyes. But as he observed, he found that the Old God was already dead. All its tentacles showed no signs of moving, and as the planet collapsed, they were gradually being torn apart. How should he describe this feeling? It was like seeing an octopus burning. The magma in the core had already cooked these tentacles…
While Roy was watching this scene, Sargeras had already let go of him and joined him without a word. The two of them were floating in the universe and observing the process of the planet’s destruction.
After a while, Roy turned to look at Sargeras in puzzlement. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to say something? Don’t tell me you just wanted me to come out and watch this scene?”
Sargeras’s slightly dark face revealed intense fatigue, and his entire mental state wasn’t very good. It was completely different from his bravery and ferocity of forging ahead vigorously when he fought Roy earlier. After hearing Roy’s question, Sargeras actually sighed deeply in front of him. He raised his right hand, looked at the longsword Gorshalach in his hand, and said in confusion, “I… just killed a… compatriot…”
Roy’s heart stirred as he immediately understood what was going on.
As expected, Sargeras continued to mutter, “This planet was breeding a newborn world-soul. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have been born in about a hundred thousand years and become a new titan… Unfortunately, he was already parasitized by the Old God when he was still in his infancy!”
Turning around, Sargeras looked at Roy with incomparable anger and said word by word, “This damn Old God greedily absorbed the power of the world-soul, making him incomparably weak. At the same time, it corroded him with darkness. When I found him, he could no longer be saved. The power of darkness had already seeped into his soul and could no longer be eliminated…”
“So, you personally ended him?” Roy asked expressionlessly.
“Yes…” Sargeras didn’t dare to look at Roy’s eyes. He lowered his head and said in pain, “I killed a compatriot with my own hands. No, I should say I killed a child… I killed him and that damn Old God…”
Roy could understand Sargeras’s pain at this moment. If it were just the Old God, it wasn’t too much to be cruel since the two opposing sides were at war.
But when it came to a child, it was completely different.
Not only the titans, but the demons also attached great importance to their descendants because these descendants meant inheritance and the continuation of the entire race.
Now that Sargeras had personally eliminated one of his compatriots, for the world-soul titan who valued his kind, it was imaginable the torment he felt in his heart at this moment. Even though he had no choice but to do so because the corrosion of the Old God was already terminal, these reasons couldn’t let him get over it easily.
“So, Lord Sargeras…” Roy smiled. “Did you bring me out of Mardum to seek psychological counseling?”
Hearing the ridicule in Roy’s words, Sargeras suddenly raised his head, stared at Roy, and said hatefully, “Osiris, you don’t have to agitate me! Although I feel pain in my heart, I don’t regret what I’ve done. Even if time turned back, I would still choose to kill him. Instead of watching helplessly as my kind becomes an indescribable evil being, I’d rather end his life with my own hands!”
“In that case, what do you want to know from me?” Roy asked with a smile.
Sargeras took a deep breath. “In fact, when you talked about the Old Gods and the Void Lords, I… didn’t fully believe you!”
“That’s normal!” Roy nodded in agreement. “After all, I’m a demon. In the impression of you people who claim to be justice and order, demons represent deviousness and evil, so you won’t believe a word I say.”
Sargeras didn’t answer and continued, “During this period of time, I have been wandering in this universe, wanting to expose your lies. But… in these twenty-odd years, I’ve encountered nearly a hundred Old Gods in this universe. Just as you said, I don’t know where they came from, but they wreaked havoc in this universe like locusts. They devoured every planet they parasitized and eventually reduced them to destruction… The more I see such scenes, the more reason keeps convincing me that you’re not lying and everything you said is true…”
“After seeing so many worlds destroyed by Old Gods, what finally made you make up your mind to bring me out of the prison was this planet that housed a world-soul in front of us, right?” Roy smiled. “As expected, only world-soul titans can make you truly take things seriously… Pardon my frankness, Lord Sargeras, but you world-soul titans are actually quite selfish…”
