Chapter 498: Old Human Man

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy had made the Gate of the Abyss in Frostfire City himself.

If he had left through the gates that other demon kings had left in the Abyss, it might have been better. But he had left through the gate of Frostfire City… Because he was only a demon lord when he created the Gate of the Abyss, he did not think too much about it at the time. The energy given to the Gate of the Abyss could only accommodate him passing through it at the time. However, he had not expected that it would be fine when he went through, but when he returned, he had advanced.

It was not easy for a creature with extremely high energy to pass through any spatial gate because their energy often affected the stability of space. Now that Roy had advanced, the energy in his body had far exceeded his expectations when he designed the Gate of the Abyss, causing him to be stuck even though the Gate of the Abyss had expanded to its limit.

If he did not want to be stuck in the spatial tunnel, he only had one choice—to use his strength to break through this Gate of the Abyss and force his way in. But this would probably cause the Gate of the Abyss to explode. Julia and the others understood this, so they led everyone to evacuate Frostfire City.

“I just don’t know how powerful the explosion will be. It’s better if only Frostfire City is destroyed. After all, we can still rebuild the city…” Julia said worriedly. “I’m just afraid that the explosion will be too powerful and directly blow up this fragmented space. Then… we can only find another place to live.” When Inferno Overlord Berial heard this, he interrupted, “If we find another territory, I prefer places with flames and high temperatures. It’s too cold here…

This guy did not have a brain, so before he could finish speaking, Julia and Benia stared at him fiercely, and he did not dare to continue.

That’s right. Your boss, Osiris, is a frost demon, and the territory he looks for will definitely be a cold place. Even if you, a flame demon, can’t stay here, you have to stay obediently…

Under everyone’s worried gazes, the enlarged Gate of the Abyss began to distort. This distortion clearly showed that it had entered an unstable state. They knew that Roy was beginning to forcibly break through the Gate of the Abyss, so they subconsciously retreated much farther away.

As time passed, the distortion of the Gate of the Abyss became more and more severe. Finally, with a soft pop, Roy’s arm pierced through the spatial barrier and emerged!

After his arm drilled out, his entire body squeezed out. But his series of actions caused the spatial channel constructed by the Gate of the Abyss to totally collapse, and violent cracking sounds spread throughout the entire space!

All the buildings in Frostfire City were affected by the spatial collapse at this moment, and numerous cracks appeared, as though a picture had been torn into countless fragments. Although these fragments were still gathered together, they had actually been destroyed. If nothing unexpected happened, they would completely turn into powder under the collapse of the space.

After coming out, Roy realized this. He wanted to try to save Frostfire City, but then he found that the spatial collapse was spreading to the entire fragment world. He had no choice but to think of a way to save the fragment world first. As for Frostfire City, he could not care too much.

A moment later, Frostfire City, which covered an area of nearly a hundred square kilometers, suddenly collapsed. All the buildings and even the ground almost two kilometers below the surface instantly turned into countless dust and particles. Under the spatial contraction effect, they immediately converged at a point in the center and then completely disappeared.

The area of the entire space collapse was an enormous circle, so outside the collapsed area, there were extremely neat edges. The original city was gone, and only a giant circular pit indicated where it had been…

Floating in the air like a mist, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. He was very regretful that Frostfire City was gone, but at least he had saved this fragment world. Although his bloodline was no longer limited to frost demons, he still liked and had adapted to this cold and quiet environment. Although there were many fragment worlds at the bottom of the Abyss, it was not easy to find a place with the same area as this place…

After Julia and the others returned to meet up with Roy, the high-rank demons who had remained in Frostfire City were surprised to find that the strange demon in front of them, whose form had changed drastically, was their former lord!

But then they immediately felt the strong pressure emanating from Roy. It was an aura that could make them prostrate on the ground and tremble in worship.

“His Excellency Osiris has actually become a demon king?!” After the high-rank demons were astonished, what followed was immense happiness. They were going crazy with excitement!

A true demon king meant more to demons than just a ruler. It could be said that every demon king was the idol of all demons. In the hierarchy of demons, if they listened to a demon lord, they might see themselves as subordinates. But if they listened to a demon king, they would see them as their master.

This was a completely different sense of belonging!

Therefore, after finding that their lord had successfully advanced to demon king, the demons who had stayed behind to guard Frostfire City became extremely agitated. A fanatical and excited emotion filled their bodies, and they could only vent their emotions through roaring and dancing.

This led to a chaotic scene…

Roy, in the mist state, looked at the densely-packed demons crying and howling below speechlessly. He did not understand why they were so excited.

“Darling, are you okay?” Julia and Benia gathered around Roy and asked in concern.

Roy shook his head. He was in a very good state now. The spatial collapse and explosion just now had looked quite dangerous, but it was actually not a big deal for him now.

“It seems like we’re going to rebuild the castle.” Sareth pouted. “Foster Father, all my toys are gone…”

“The old won’t go, and the new won’t come!” Roy stretched out his misty hand and pretended to rub Sareth’s head twice to comfort him and make him smile again.

Cassandra looked at Roy thoughtfully. “Master, will you always be like this in the future?”

“I don’t know, but…” Roy looked down at his body. “In theory, I should be able to simulate any appearance now… I need some time. Many of my abilities have undergone tremendous changes.”

Benia nodded. “Okay. Leave the rebuilding of the territory to us. Focus on adapting to the various changes in your body. In addition…”

She licked her tongue and said charmingly, “Change back quickly. I still like your former frost demon appearance. I don’t want to have sex with a ball of mist…”

Roy was a little speechless. Benia is indeed a succubus. She speaks straightforwardly.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you!” Roy looked around. “The city is gone. I’ll go down. Where I found Demon King Beelzebub’s shell is a good place. I’ll stay there to adapt to my strength for a while. If you want to find me, go there and find me!” “Understood!” Everyone nodded.

After instructing Madama Styx and the three demon lords, he got them to find

a place to settle down in the periphery ot Frosttire City and allowed them to recruit their subordinates. After all, they were demon lords, and he still had to allocate them the manpower they needed.

According to Roy’s plan, the four demon lords would surround Frostfire City in the center from all four directions to highlight the status of the demon king city.

After giving his instructions, Roy turned into a flowing mist and drilled into the ground.

The non-physical state of Roy’s mist body allowed him to pass through any matter without any obstruction. Even all the particles in his body could warp in stable space, thereby achieving the ‘Spatial Shift’ skill that was one step further than Flash..

These were the changes in some of Roy’s abilities that he could vaguely feel at the moment, but it seemed to be far more than these. After drilling underground, he quickly arrived at the place where he had found Beelzebub’s shell.

Back then, he had used the power of the Red Sea Egg to fuse with Beelzebub’s shell and obtained the wind magic circuit and the insect-type demon ability, the Heart of the Swarm. The Heart of the Swarm ability was a manifestation of the powerful life force of insect-type demons. Unfortunately, he had not used this ability much, but he had already completed his demon king advancement.

The mist body was very handsome, and its abilities were quite powerful and useful. But without a corporeal body, Roy felt a little uncomfortable, so he planned to research during this seclusion. Perhaps he could use the system’s help to create his original body.

Roy was in seclusion, and Julia and the others tacitly did not disturb him. They turned their attention to the reconstruction work of Frostfire City. Under their command, the fanatical and excited demons worked in full swing.

There was no distinction between day and night in the fragment world, so the passage of time was naturally not so easy to notice. Who knew how much time had passed, but half a year to a year had passed. In short, just as Frostfire City was about to be rebuilt, a figure suddenly appeared in this fragment world.

It was a strange-looking… human! He had the appearance of a kind old man, and he was wearing a well-ironed white suit. He leisurely strolled in the lonely and cold icy plain. While walking, he observed the surroundings with interest. Although his movements were slow, his goal was clear—Frostfire City in the center of the icy plain.

The first to discover this human was Rafaro in high altitude orbit. When he found this figure, even he was stunned. This is the bottom of the Abyss. How can a human appear?!

Although it was strange, he still immediately issued a warning. Not long after, the Inferno Overlord Berial appeared with a large number of demons and surrounded this old man in a white suit on the icy plain.

Facing a large number of demons, the old human man was still smiling. When Berial saw him, he felt that something was wrong.

“You shouldn’t be a true human…” Berial held his flame sword, looked down at the old human man, and sniffed vigorously. “You have a strong demon aura… Who are you? This is His Majesty Osiris’s territory. What do you want to do here?”

“Haha!” The old human man laughed. He tidied his suit with both hands and looked up at Berial. “I’m here to find your king. His demon name is Osiris… My name, yes, please tell him that Mephisto is visiting!”

Berial’s eyes suddenly widened. “Me… Mephisto?!”

Cold sweat broke out on his body. Fortunately, he did not attack recklessly when he saw the other party’s human appearance. Otherwise, he would not have known how he died.

“I… I’ll go report now…” Berial quickly lowered his body and tried to reduce his presence. Then he turned his head and ignored his demon subordinates as he ran desperately toward Frostfire City.

And this old human man who called himself Mephisto smiled kindly and continued to move forward slowly with his hands behind his back…
