Custom Made Demon King-Chapter 523 - : Evolution Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A fiery red stream of light flew over from afar and passed through the entire battlefield at high speed like a meteor.

In the stream of light was a figure full of majestic holy light power. The angel warriors in the sky above the battlefield immediately recognized this figure, so they made way. The flying demons flying in the air screamed and tried to stop this figure.

But when they blocked the path of this figure, their outcome was destined. The fiery red stream of light passed through them, and their charred corpses burned with holy flames as they fell from the sky.

“Damn it! All of you deserve to die!!” Imperius roared angrily, venting all his anger on these overconfident demons. He didn’t use his weapon, the Spear of Valor, to kill these demons but only raised monstrous holy flames to sweep over them.

Because the Spear of Valor in his hand was completely bent…

It was not broken, but it was bent at a ninety-degree angle, which was no different from being broken. This meant that before Imperius repaired it, he couldn’t use this archangel weapon for the time being.

If it was just temporarily unusable, it was not a big deal for him. But the problem was that the Spear of Valor had been broken once! It was when Diablo had gathered the power of the seven demon kings to enter the High Heavens. Diablo had broken the Spear of Valor, and Imperius had spent a lot of effort to reforge it. Not long after, Roy’s fist had actually bent it…

The most troublesome thing was that Roy’s punch had left a fist print on the Spear of Valor. In other words, although Imperius didn’t need to reforge it, he had to find a way to straighten and smooth the body of the spear, and it had to be exactly the same as before. Any slight difference would affect the feeling when he used it.

This was even more troublesome than reforging. Even if he could straighten it, the fist print on the spear would be difficult to remove. When he used it in the future, as long as he saw the mark on it, he would remember the humiliation of being sent flying with a punch today.

He might as well reforge it directly…

It was obvious how angry Imperius was at this moment. To him, be it Diablo or Osiris, they had both smashed his spear. This was simply a mockery of his valor and fighting will. How could someone as proud as Imperius endure this humiliation?

Killing these ordinary demons couldn’t alleviate the anger in his heart at all.

Now, he only wanted to rush back to the battlefield and fight to the death with Roy. Only the demon king’s demon blood could wash away this humiliation.

However, when he rushed back to the battlefield outside the Diamond Gates, he was stunned. Demon King Osiris had disappeared, and so had Auriel. Only Tyrael and Itherael were standing there dejectedly.

“What happened?” Imperius asked curiously after landing. “I just left for a bit.

Why are Osiris and Auriel gone?”

“This…” Tyrael sighed and could only tell him what had happened.

After hearing it, Imperius flew into a rage. He grabbed Tyrael’s collar, pulled him in front of him, and roared at him from above, “What?! You exiled Auriel and Osiris to the Void together?!”

“To be precise, when Osiris was exiled, he took Auriel away… I’m sorry, Imperius. It happened so suddenly that we couldn’t stop it!” Tyrael didn’t resist and let Imperius grab his collar.

“You!!” Imperius pushed him away and roared, “Then why are you still standing here?! Why don’t you quickly bring Auriel back from the Void?”

‘ Tyrael remained silent.

Fortunately, Itherael explained, “Sorry, Imperius. When Tyrael and I joined forces to exile Osiris, we used almost all our strength. Our original intention was to exile him into the depths of the Void as far as possible and not give him a chance to return. As time passed, we could use the power of Void corrosion to eliminate him completely, so…”

“So you don’t know where Osiris was exiled to in the Void, right?” Imperius was so angry that his hands were trembling. “If you can’t find Osiris, you can’t find Auriel. Are you trying to tell me that you sacrificed Auriel while eliminating the demon?!”

“Perhaps we can use the power of the Scroll of Fate to find Auriel in the future, but now…” Itherael looked at the chaotic battlefield where angels and demons were fighting fiercely.

Looking at the Spear of Valor in his hand and then at the chaotic battlefield, Imperius didn’t say anything in the end. He snorted and turned to leave.

He also knew that the top priority now was to repel the demon army’s attack. Finding Auriel’s location from the Void was a meticulous task, and they didn’t have that much time to do this now.

However, Imperius couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. Although losing his sister Auriel pained him, it seemed that what he cared more about was that he couldn’t defeat Osiris with his own hands to wash away his humiliation…

This anger burned brighter and brighter in the depths of Imperius’s heart, almost devouring him.

Itherael and Tyrael looked at Imperius’s back from behind. They were sensitive to his emotional changes, and the two of them simultaneously thought of the revelation on the Scroll of Fate, the prophecy from the mortal Book of Cain.

It seemed like the prophecy was coming true…

What did the Void look like?

Be it angels or demons, there were actually many who had seen the Void, but they basically only had the impression of ‘infinite darkness’. But no one knew what the true Void was like or what it was like to be in the Void.

But now, an Archangel and a demon king were experiencing this feeling.

After being exiled, Roy found that everything around him had completely changed. Everything within his vision was replaced by darkness.

Here, there was no light, no air, no dust, no water molecules, and not even electromagnetic waves and radiation fields. The darkness in front of him was not because it was full of dark elements. On the contrary, this darkness was because there was nothing.

It could be said that it was not even empty space. He couldn’t feel the existence of any space here and didn’t know if he was in a certain space.

Being in the Void was a feeling that was difficult to describe accurately. Roy felt that he was worse than a blind person. There was nothing around him that he could sense, and even the eye of the divine spark couldn’t see any information.

There was nothing except for himself and time.

Time seemed to exist here because Roy could still move, which meant that time had not stopped. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have been able to move at all. Since he could move, it meant that he still had control over himself.

At this moment, Roy had already deactivated the True Name Liberation state and restored his original material body. This was a change made when he was trapped in the body formed by the Cord of Hope.

As for Auriel, he didn’t know where she was. The moment they were exiled, she had directly separated from him and disappeared from Frostmourne. Even her Cord of Hope was withdrawn. Frostmourne was now empty, as though the power of the Void had completely separated the two of them the moment they entered the Void.

Roy put away Frostmourne. The system space was still usable. But because there was nothing around him, he could feel his magic power slowly spreading and flowing out in all directions. Not only his magic power, but the cells of his body that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye were also slowly spreading from his entire body into the Void, The matter emitting from his body disappeared into thin air after coming into contact with the Void, as though it had never existed.

To be precise, this dissipation should be some kind of replacement process because the Void was nothingness. The dissipation process was the Void replacing Roy bit by bit…

This situation was completely different from when he came into contact with the Void while repairing the world rift in the Devil May Cry world. At that time, perhaps because he had come into contact with a large area of the material world, the Void was violent and dangerous. But now, he was in the Void, and the area of material contact was small, so the corrosion of the Void appeared much quieter, giving off the feeling that it was moisturizing and silent.

Of course, Roy couldn’t let his own matter dissipate in the Void, so he tried to use magic power to stop it from dissipating.

It was really useful. After using magic power to cover his entire body, the magic power dissipated, and his cells stopped dissipating.

But after he thought about it carefully, this was not a long-term solution because there was no matter in the Void. Without any elements around, magic power couldn’t be replenished. If this continued, there would be a time when his magic power ran out.

According to the speed of dissipation, this time might take a long time. But once his magic power was completely exhausted and there was no substitute, he would be completely unable to resist the corrosion of the Void and could only rely on his body to withstand it.

In the end, it might completely become a part of the Void…

Realizing that this wouldn’t work, Roy could only turn his body into a state of Chaos. In fact, when he faced the Void in the Devil May Cry world, he found that Void corrosion was useless against him in the Chaos state!

The moment Roy switched to the Chaos state, his entire body became the only order field in this Void because he had all the elemental particles in the Chaos state. After these elemental particles reached certain conditions, they began to enter a self-circulation with his body as the foundation. In this situation, his magic power could be replenished.

The previous time was only a guess. But this time, it completely confirmed that the Chaos state was the only state that could resist the corrosion of the Void!

After confirming that his safety was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and began to explore the Void.

In fact, the Demon Eyes all over the High Heavens were still connected to Roy himself. After all, it was a system creation. But the attribute definitions he had given it couldn’t completely eliminate the isolation of the Void. Perhaps because he was in the depths of the Void, this connection had become very

weaK.

Although it was weak, it also meant that he still had the coordinates of the material world. As long as he could find a way to wander in the Void and find a place closer to the material world, he could sacrifice a Demon Eye to exchange it with his position so that he could return to the material world.

This was the way to escape from the Void. In fact, not only him, but the others who were exiled to the Void could also return through similar methods. Of course, the premise was that they could also have a way to resist the corrosion of the Void like Roy and could ‘swim’ back to the edge of the material world from the depths of the Void without losing all their senses…

It wasn’t easy to do this. There was no sense of direction in the Void, and you didn’t know if you were advancing or retreating here, whether you were swimming toward the material world or swimming deeper into the Void. No one knew. In addition, you were being corroded by Void power, and the shadow and crisis of this slow death were always looming over you. Very few could really hold on.

So far, in the world of Sanctuary, or rather, the Diablo world, there was only one recorded case of someone returning from the Void—Lilith!

No one knew how Lilith returned. But it was precisely because of the precedent of her return that the Archangels of the High Heavens didn’t use the Void exile method on their old opponents, the seven demon kings, but chose to use the Black Soulstone to imprison their souls.

As for Roy, if Auriel had not seen the ‘miracle’ of exile through the power of authority, Tyrael and Itherael wouldn’t have used this method. After all, the holy light power with the greatest restraining effect against demons was useless against Roy. The only way to cause trouble for him was through exile…

It had to be said that this was Roy’s only weakness now. Or rather, as long as it was a being from a foreign world, exile was their common weakness, even in an artificial world like Sanctuary. Even though the repulsion of the world itself was relatively small, the world’s connection with foreign beings was weak, which was why exile could succeed.

This was actually just an ‘anchor point’ theory, which wasn’t too strange.

Although he was now exiled, Roy wasn’t too worried. Unlike other exiled beings, he completely resisted the corrosion of the Void in his Chaos state. He became the only material creature that could move freely in the Void, which naturally gave him the opportunity to explore the Void.

And he didn’t intend to give up this opportunity. It was rare for him to enter the Void, so he naturally didn’t want to return so quickly. He flapped his wings and flew in the Void.

Due to the lack of external perception, he didn’t know where he was flying toward in the Void, so he could only wander aimlessly. In fact, because there was no concept of distance in the Void, he didn’t know if he was really flying away or just flying still on the spot.

Doing this was definitely very boring and useless, so Roy stopped after a while.

He realized that it was impossible for him to explore the Void like this. He didn’t even know how big the Void was, and flying like this was just a waste of time. He had to find a way to restore his perception in the Void.

After thinking about it, Roy opened the system interface.

To be honest, ever since he became a Chaos Demon, he rarely used the system interface to increase his strength because the Chaos power he possessed had already given him enough combat strength. But now that he was facing the Void, he needed to ‘evolve’ again!

Yes, he didn’t choose to create anything this time but chose to undergo an evolution. He added an eye to himself, a huge eye!

Roy placed this eye on his chest. In the middle of his chest, there was a vertical row of interlocking flesh spikes biting together. When this row of flesh spikes opened, a huge eyeball would appear in the center. This eyeball was not like the previous Demon Eyes but a pure black crystal-like eyeball.

[Eye of the Void]! This was what Roy named this newly added eyeball. He set that when this eyeball opened, he could obtain a unique ‘Void Vision’ in the Void environment, allowing him to observe the situation in the Void.

Moreover, this Eye of the Void could also absorb a certain amount of Void power in the Void and store it in the eyeball alone. He had set this to facilit his research on Void power in the future. Void power was very dangerous, I since he could resist it, it wasn’t too dangerous in his eyes. Preserving a ce amount of Void power could prevent him from having to tear apart the bar of the material world in the future to study the Void.

After completing the definitions, all that was left was to pay the souls to materialize it. He initially thought that it would consume a lot of his soul reserves, but he didn’t expect that he could materialize it with just ten thousand souls. This number was very small.

After the materialization, Roy’s body immediately changed. But what he didn’t expect was that because he was in the Chaos state, the Eye of the Void actually mutated when it appeared. On the chest of his misty body, a slowly spinning vortex appeared, and a ray of light that emerged out of thin air appeared straight in the middle of the vortex. After shooting out a portion, the rest dissipated, as though it had been cut off. This scene was very similar to the scene of black holes absorbing light in some science fiction movies.

But no matter what, when the Eye of the Void appeared, Roy could finally ‘see’ things. He immediately saw the changes in his body and clicked his tongue in wonder at this mutation.

He raised his head and looked around. He also saw something in the Void.

The first thing that came into view was Archangel Auriel! What he didn’t expect was that she wasn’t far from him in the Void..
