Chapter 352 It Is in Their Nature

With a thud, Roy stepped onto the ground. As he Looked at the fanatical expressions on the faces of the various strange demons around him, he could not help but frown.

In fact, the moment he passed through the Gate of Heaven and entered the main world, Roy felt that the repulsive effect of this world on him had increased a lot. At first, he thought that it was his illusion, but now that he stepped on the ground, the feeling of repulsion became stronger.

Roy could even clearly feel that the ground beneath his feet loathed him. An invisible force was surging and squeezing his body, as though the people around him on a crowded subway were constantly trying to squeeze him out of the car door. This feeling was terrible.

The world repulsive effect, to put it bluntly, a self-protection mechanism of a world. Its purpose was to protect the life born in this world from the invasion of foreign species. This self-protection mechanism was like a firewall, and the more threatening the target, the more severe it was.

In the same world, the effect of this repulsive force against low-rank demons and high-rank demons was totally different. The repulsive force on the latter was far greater than on the former. Similarly, it would become even more powerful when targeting a demon lord.

This was why in the legends of many worlds, there was the saying, ‘the stronger the demon, the harder it is to descend’.

When Roy came to this Ashan world, he was a high-rank demon, and he was able to pass through the Gate of the Abyss by using the Dragon Balls as a positioning beacon. Now that he had become a demon lord, this world could be said to have regarded him as a high-threat target. If he wanted to use the same method to open a Gate of the Abyss and teleport over, he would most likely have to consume more than ten times the energy and magic power!

The sudden increase in the world repulsive effect meant that he needed to spend more magic power and energy to resist this influence than before, which would have a tremendous impact on his combat strength. Therefore, after promoting to demon lord, the first thing he had to do was to find a way to solve or bypass the self-protection mechanism of this world.

Raising his head, Roy looked at the closed Gate of Heaven in the sky. As he had expected, Isabel and Orfina did not chase after him out of the Gate of Heaven. He did not doubt their determination to kill him, but it seemed like they had guessed that if they chased after him like this, they would face the retaliation of many demons. If he had not severely damaged the military power of Cloud City, Isabel might have really rushed out with the angels and started a battle with his demon army. But unfortunately, Roy had caused an enormous commotion in Cloud City and killed a considerable number of angels, making Cloud City, which was already stretched thin for troops, have even fewer available.

This was a good thing for Roy. He needed time to familiarize himself with his new power.

Julia and Benia came forward with a group of high-rank demons to greet him. When they were about two meters away from him, Julia and Benia knelt on one knee and said in unison, “Lord Osiris, welcome back!”

The high-rank demons followed suit and knelt to Roy, the newly promoted demon lord.

Previously, when Roy was still a high-rank demon, there were many high-rank demons who were secretly dissatisfied. Now, the pressure brought about by his rank as a lord made them no longer unable to stir up any ambitions.

Not every high-rank demon had the chance to become a demon lord. Putting everything else aside, the ritual of entering Heaven to obtain battle achievements had already caused countless high-rank demons to fall…

“Okay, get up!” Roy nodded. After receiving permission, the demons quickly made way for him. He walked in front, and Julia and Benia followed closely behind him. On the way, they met Giovanni, and he bootlicked Roy before they returned to the city.

In the demon hall, Roy sat on the throne and dismissed the idlers, leaving only Julia, Benia, and Giovanni before releasing Fat Tiger from the system space.

Fat Tiger was actually not in a good state. When he was guarding the Gate of Heaven, he had encountered the siege of many angels. He had thick skin and thick flesh and finally managed to persevere, but now, he looked a bit miserable. All over his body were sword wounds and injuries from various holy magic attacks, so the most urgent matter was to treat his wounds first.

Seeing Fat Tiger’s miserable condition, Julia was shocked and asked Roy, “Dear, what happened in Cloud City? Why is Fat Tiger so injured? Are you all right?”

“I’m fine!” Roy used his souls to materialize a healing potion and fed it to Fat Tiger. At the same time, he replied, “I met Queen Isabel in Heaven! Or rather, Seraph Isabel!”

With that, Roy told Julia and the others about the situation. Julia and Benia looked at each other.

In particular, Benia had calculated that the military power of Cloud City should not be strong. But she had not expected that Isabel would be reborn as an angel and become a seraph.

“Your Lordship, this is my negligence!” Benia said apologetically. “Actually, I’ve heard that Isabel is a Chosen of Elrath, but I always thought that this was just a way to highlight her noble status. I didn’t expect it to be true…”

“It’s not your fault!” Roy waved his hand casually. “Being a Chosen is just a kind of innate talent, and it’s not easy to truly turn it into strength.”

Speaking of this, Roy thought of Arantir. Didn’t this guy claim to be the Chosen of Asha? Unfortunately, he did not seem to be able to truly obtain Asha’s favor and fulfill the promise of being a Chosen. He was killed just like that, and nothing happened.

Seeing that Roy did not blame her, Benia heaved a sigh of relief. “Your Lordship, since Isabel has become a seraph, with the relationship between the kingdom of Erathia and the angels of Cloud City, this news will probably soon be known by the kingdom of Erathia. This will be great inspiration for them…”

Roy nodded slowly. “What have you inquired about the situation of your sister, Biara?”

“After the defeat of the commanders of the alliance army, Gem and Zehir, the news of the real Queen Isabel spread all over Ashan!” Benia laughed. “My unlucky sister, her identity has been completely seen through. If Kha-Beleth were still alive, she might have been able to cause a revolt in Erathia after her identity was exposed and let the demon army directly invade Erathia. But unfortunately, you killed Kha-Beleth, and all the demons in Ur-Hekal are under your control. Even if she could have opened a portal, no demons would have responded to her summons. This was equivalent to her, a lone succubus, being surrounded by many angels and priests!”

“Oh? What’s the result?” Roy asked with interest.

Only

“She’s lucky!” Benia gritted her teeth and snorted angrily. “After knowing that the queen was fake and a demon in disguise, the remaining descendant of the Erathian royal family, Andrei, Isabel’s nephew, and some nobles who support him sent troops to attack my stupid sister. This nephew, Andrei, wanted to take the opportunity to seize the throne, but some of the nobles who oppose him held him back. The internal fighting of the Erathians gradually escalated, and Biara found an opportunity to escape.”

“Escaped?” Roy frowned. “Where did she escape to? Aren’t you looking for revenge?” “Of course!” Benia’s eyes were full of hatred as she nodded. “But I’m not worried at all. She won’t be able to run for long. Without the support of Ur-Hekal, she won’t receive any help during her escape. Even if she can open a Gate of the Abyss and summon some demons from the Abyss to help, she won’t be able to last long. Because it’s not only Erathia, but even the elves and Bracadans are hunting her. I only need to appear in front of her when she’s at her wits’ end, mock her ruthlessly, and then liberate her!”

Tsk, how ruthless! Roy sighed inwardly. As expected of a demon… “It’s not a big deal for Biara to escape, but we have to consider what impact her identity being exposed will have on us!” Julia said. “No matter who claims the throne of Erathia at that time, it’s foreseeable that they will restore order. At that time, Erathia will definitely restore its connection to Cloud City. With Isabel, the Erathians will obtain immense help from the angels. In addition, the defeated elves, orcs, and Bracadan mages will definitely plan to seek revenge after suffering such heavy losses. They will contact more allies and deploy a stronger army to attack us.”

“That’s right!” Roy nodded. “They won’t sit and wait for death and leave a demon lord like me alone.”

“Just our demons might not be able to resist the massive alliance army!” Benia said. “So, it’s time to get some help.”

After hearing Benia’s words, Roy and Julia looked at Giovanni, who was obediently waiting by the side.

When Roy’s gaze landed on him, Giovanni could hardly hide his excitement and made an exaggerated noble bow to Roy. “Honorable Lord Osiris, as long as you need it, the entire kingdom of Heresh will serve you! As long as you can let me ascend to the position of undead monarch…”

“Very good. Let’s take down all of Heresh first!” Roy smiled sinisterly.
