Chapter 643: Time Jump Again....

Sargeras wanted to reforge Gorribal, so many demons of the Burning Legion would naturally search the universe for forging materials for him.
This matter had nothing to do with Roy, but after being reminded by Sargeras, he started thinking about his weapon.
After Frostmourne was damaged, Roy had handed it over to Diathorus for repair. With the abilities of these nathrezim, Frostmourne would inevitably flow into the Shadowlands for repair. It didn’t matter where it was repaired. In fact, if he were willing, he could naturally use a large number of souls to restore Frostmourne to its original state. He did this to complete the time loop. But it was obvious that Diathorus and the dreadlords had deliberately made the matter of repairing the sword mysterious and secretive. It was nothing more than to arouse Roy’s curiosity and get him to explore the Shadowlands to pave the way for subsequent matters.
Roy’s intuition told him that the Shadowlands seemed to want to win him over because, as the only commander of the Burning Legion, he had a lot of influence over Sargeras’s decision-making.
The Burning Legion formed by Sargeras was enormous, so it was natural for the Shadowlands to place chess pieces in it. Moreover, since Sargeras’s Burning Crusade plan was designed to purge the universe of all life, this action plan would invisibly strengthen the Shadowlands.
The Shadowlands was known as the home of all souls. All souls, regardless of good or evil, apart from the ones plundered and devoured, would naturally dissipate when passing through the barriers of the endless planes and arrive in the Shadowlands the moment they dissipated. And the basic energy of the Shadowlands came from the special energy in souls, which they called ‘anima’… In other words, the more souls that arrived in the Shadowlands, the stronger the energy of the Shadowlands!
As such, Sargeras and his Burning Legion’s plan to purge the universe of all life coincided with the Shadowlands. The stronger the soul, the longer the lifespan. Under normal circumstances, if the people of the Shadowlands wanted these powerful souls to reach the Shadowlands, wouldn’t they have to wait for their natural lifespans to run out? It could be said that the existence of the Burning Legion’s crusade plan artificially accelerated the process of souls going to the Shadowlands.
Not to mention the ambitious Sire Denathrius, if it were Roy, since he saw this possibility, he would have also pushed behind the scenes to facilitate the establishment of the Burning Legion. So from this point of view, it was understandable that the nathrezim had sneaked into the Burning Legion.
The establishment of the Burning Legion was an extremely important chapter in the history of this universe. Its establishment accelerated the establishment and response of the other major forces in the universe, and it had a great impact on the entire universe.
Roy didn’t want to come into contact with the Shadowlands yet because he knew that without powerful strength to back him up, this contact would eventually cause him to become a pawn of the Shadowlands. Therefore, after he threw Frostmourne to the dreadlords to repair, he pretended that nothing had happened and didn’t think about it for the time being. He acted as though he didn’t see and understand the secretive manner of the dreadlords.
Of course, this method made the dreadlords very depressed, but what did it have to do with Roy?
He couldn’t use Frostmourne for the time being, so he was thinking about whether he should get another weapon.
To be honest, Frostmourne was indeed very famous and powerful. But after seeing Sargeras’s Gorshalach, Roy knew that Frostmourne’s level was still much lower as a divine artifact. It was enough for demon kings, but after he completed the Movement to the End of Reincarnation and his strength soared, it would definitely not be enough.
Therefore, Roy felt that it was necessary to get a weapon at the Deadly Sin level or even above. Even if it couldn’t surpass the strongest weapon in this universe, Gorshalach, it had to be at least equivalent to it.
Roy knew nothing about forging, and he didn’t know what materials in this universe could be used to forge weapons. So he could only rely on the system to design his new weapon and use souls to materialize it.
But the number of souls required to create a weapon on par with Gorshalach was definitely an astronomical figure. This meant that Roy had to find a way to collect as many souls as possible during the Burning Legion’s crusade.
Sigh, I still have to earn money in the end… Roy sighed. Indeed, souls were like currency to him, and earning souls was no different from earning money.
After the Burning Legion successfully established its might in the first battle, Sargeras commanded the Legion to advance steadily. Moreover, as it gradually stepped out of the Twisting Nether, the range of the Legion’s exploration and destruction began to increase. During this time, more demons began to come over and swear allegiance to Sargeras, and the demon composition of the Legion began to diversify gradually. As the commander, Roy started dividing the army into various functions based on the characteristics of these demons’ abilities.
The largest Legion formation was the cannon fodder group. As the name implied, the cannon fodder group was the first batch of demon creatures thrown into the battlefield when the Legion attacked planets. The combat strength of demons at this level was impressive, and their intelligence was even more impressive. They relied entirely on numerical superiority to battle, so their composition roughly consisted of the infernal troops, cerberus troops, inferior demon troops, and so on.
The scouts were represented by the dreadlords. Among them, there were succubi, illusion demons, and other races that were good at using mind control. The scouts were the intelligence and tactical center of the Burning Legion. They could quietly infiltrate worlds and instigate infighting among mortals, causing them to fall into chaos, thereby creating an advantage for the Legion’s invasion.
Next were the combat soldiers. The combat soldiers were the mainstay of the Burning Legion and were composed of the demon races with the most combat strength. They were the main force of the Legion’s invasion of various worlds. Their numbers were equally astonishing, but their combat strength was high. In the invasion wars, after the cannon fodder group consumed the resistance of the mortals, the combat group would be thrown into the battlefield to sweep through and destroy all the remaining resistance. In the combat group, the demon races represented were naturally the abyss lords, doomlords, felguards, and so on.
Finally, there was the logistics group and the command group. The logistics group were mainly demon creatures with high intelligence but low combat strength. They were responsible for logistics support and weapons research in the Legion. Their tasks were to upgrade various magical technologies, manufacture starships and magic cannons, and so on. The demon races in the logistics group were quite mixed, and it was hard to say what the representative races were.
As for the command group, it referred to Roy, the commander, who was in charge of formulating plans for the Legion’s invasions. Of course, these plans were not very detailed and precise, and they could only be rough plans. Regarding this, Roy was still qualified. After all, the overall strength of the Burning Legion was there, and most of the time, it was just a steamroll all the way.
Sargeras was very satisfied with Roy’s division. After Sargeras fell to become a demon, his way of thinking was gradually changing, and he became fond of schemes and machinations. Looking at the mortals on the invaded planets falling into chaos and despair because of these schemes, he would feel inexplicable joy in the depths of his heart, and the division of the Legion’s functions that Roy established could better satisfy his emotions.
More than two years passed. During this time, the Burning Legion didn’t advance much and only encountered two planets that gave birth to life. Unfortunately, there was no intelligent life or civilization on these two planets. Under the iron hooves of the Legion, these two planets quickly turned into scorched earth and were burned into ashes by fel flames.
There was not much to show regarding the Legion’s military achievements, but Sargeras had repaired Gorribal. After collecting enough materials, he used his fel flames to reforge it, making the Dark Seether worthy of its name.
Roy had observed the entire reforging process of Gorribal and was very inspired. After the sword took shape, Sargeras used his power to bless it!
This blessing was actually to engrave his source of power into the weapon. Compared to the method of soul splitting and sealing a soul fragment into a weapon that Roy knew, it had the same effect but reduced the burden of soul splitting.
However, after asking Sargeras, Roy learned that ordinary people couldn’t forge using their source of power as a blessing. It required the user to have a sufficiently strong understanding of their own power. In other words, it required sufficient knowledge and a sufficiently powerful soul and divine spark. After knowing this, Roy thought about it for a while and found that he could barely do it at this stage. But if he wanted his blessing to make his weapon stronger, it would be best to do this after reaching the Deadly Sin level.
Roy already had a plan. When the time came, he would use enough souls to design an indestructible divine weapon in the system. Then he would use his power to bless this weapon so that it would have all his powers. At that time, be it Chaos power, Void power, or divine spark power, he could use them freely with the weapon, unlike with Frostmourne, which only had the powers of ice and curses.
Not long after the reforging of Gorribal, a constellar finally came from the Pantheon as a messenger and conveyed to Sargeras the intention of the Pantheon to have a discussion.
Sargeras listened to the constellar’s words expressionlessly and didn’t say much. Then he waved his hand to get the constellar to leave, indicating that he would go.
After the constellar left, Roy observed the gloomy expression on Sargeras’s face. He knew that Sargeras was furious.
In fact, ever since Aggramar appeared and fought with Sargeras, Sargeras had realized one thing. The titans of the Pantheon had become a stumbling block on the path of the Burning Legion’s crusade. The Pantheon, which represented order, were natural enemies of the Burning Legion, which represented chaos and destruction. And the Burning Legion, which had just been established, was definitely unable to resist the titans.
Therefore, Sargeras had actually made up his mind to eliminate the Pantheon.
According to the information transmitted by the constellar, the location of this meeting was on a planet named Nihilam. However, Sargeras naturally couldn’t bring the Burning Legion to the meeting, so he got Roy to stay and lead the Legion to continue advancing while he went alone with Gorribal.
Roy knew that Sargeras’s departure was naturally a big event. Not long after the meeting began, he turned hostile and directly defeated all the titans of the Pantheon with his own strength. The word powerful was not enough to describe him.
Of course, Roy wouldn’t participate in such a high-end battle. Don’t be misled by the fact that Sargeras suppressed the Pantheon single-handedly. If Roy dared to appear there, he believed that the titans of the Pantheon could easily kill him in the battle.
Therefore, Roy couldn’t be bothered to get involved. But what he didn’t expect was that not long after, while he was in a base of the Burning Legion and listening to the intelligence reports of the dreadlords under his command, he suddenly disappeared without a trace under the gazes of many demons…
And this moment happened to be the moment when Sargeras destroyed the Pantheon and the planet Nihilam…
