Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 625: The Terror of Mathematics

After confirming the plan, Roy immediately started taking action. His first goal was to go to the Twisting Nether.

In fact, after falling out of the spacetime flux, Roy had already seen the Twisting Nether. It couldn’t be helped. The Twisting Nether was too conspicuous in the background of this universe.

The entire range of the Twisting Nether was radiating a dark purple light. This range was too vast, and it was too small to describe it as millions of light-years. The Twisting Nether could be observed in most corners of the universe.

Roy was currently in the material world, which was naturally very far from the Twisting Nether. The light and scene he saw now might be the scene of the Twisting Nether from a long time ago, but this didn’t prevent him from observing the location of the Twisting Nether.

Roy got Rafaro to fly the Void Seeker at warp speed and headed toward the Twisting Nether. He planned to find those chaotic and crazy demons at the boundary between the Twisting Nether and the material world.

It had to be known that the Burning Legion had not appeared yet at this time. The demons of the Twisting Nether had always been in a state of disunity, all with various unverified origins. They might be demons mutated by the corrosion of the Void, or there might be demons that accidentally wandered here from different planes and spaces. But no matter where they came from, they all instinctively caused immense damage and destruction to the material world.

It was the existence of these Twisting Nether demons that caused tremendous interference to the titans of the Pantheon. All along, the titans of the Pantheon had been dedicated to maintaining ‘order’ because only the existence of order could allow more worlds to give birth to world-souls and their kind.

Therefore, during this period, the main opponents of the titans were these demons from the Twisting Nether.

At this moment, Sargeras should not have fallen to become the Dark Titan. He was still the Champion of the Pantheon with unwavering faith, noble qualities, and unparalleled strength and courage. He was the defender of order, the purest of the gods. He was selfless and righteous, and he was armed with the most powerful weapon in the universe, Gorshalach. When the chaotic demons attacked from the Twisting Nether and threatened the order that the Pantheon had created for many worlds, Sargeras began his battle with the demons. He had once vowed to purge the entire Twisting Nether of demons.

Sargeras was so powerful that no demon stood a chance against him.

Based on this understanding, when Roy arrived at the border between the Twisting Nether and the material world and found the raging Twisting Nether demons, he would most likely encounter Sargeras.

Without a doubt, this was extremely risky because Roy was a demon. When he appeared in front of Sargeras, Sargeras wouldn’t care if he came from the Twisting Nether or the Abyss. He would most likely kill him.

Even for a demon king like Roy, although his current strength might be unique among the Twisting Nether demons, this strength was far from enough in front of Sargeras.

How strong was Sargeras? Let’s put it this way. He was even stronger than all the titans of the Pantheon combined!

After falling to become the Dark Titan, he had once used a fel storm to deal with all the Pantheon titans in one move… Although this might have to do with him becoming three times stronger as the Dark Titan, in any case, he was the ceiling of combat power in this universe.

Now, Roy had not even reached the Deadly Sin level, so it was obvious how dangerous it would be when he faced Sargeras.

However… Roy was not too worried because he knew that after fighting the demons of the Twisting Nether for many years, Sargeras might have already discovered the secret of the resurrection of demons. The demons killed in the material world would soon appear in the Twisting Nether again. As long as Sargeras wasn’t stupid, he would try his best to minimize his actions of killing demons in the material world.

Roy thought for a moment and felt that Sargeras might have already built that prison in the Twisting Nether, that exile plane—Mardum!

This point was actually very easy to judge. All he had to do was see whether Sargeras had his lieutenant, the titan Aggramar. The appearance of Aggramar was a sign that Sargeras had found the difficulty of dealing with the continuous resurrection of demons.

Of course, Roy had to observe carefully before deciding if he should appear in front of Sargeras. As long as he confirmed that Mardum, the Plane of Banishment, existed, the rest would be easy to handle. As long as he fought Sargeras once and pretended to be captured, his life would definitely not be in danger, and Sargeras would certainly imprison him in Mardum.

Then it didn’t matter if he was imprisoned in Mardum because it wouldn’t be long before Sargeras planned to release all the demons there!

According to Roy’s calculations, this was the safest way to approach Sargeras.

As for how to attract Sargeras’s attention, it would be even simpler. He only needed to display his Void power.

Of course, these were only the ideal situations imagined by Roy, and he couldn’t rule out the risk of unexpected situations happening. Therefore, he felt that he had to have life-saving means. And now that he had obtained a hundred trillion souls, it was time to upgrade himself.

Sitting in the starship and letting Rafaro sail him forward, Roy concentrated his consciousness on the system interface.

To be honest, Roy had not improved his strength for a long time after crossing the threshold of the demon king level. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to improve, but he didn’t know how to improve himself.

Create a divine artifact for himself? Roy’s strength had now surpassed that of ordinary divine artifacts. He could solve things with his own hands, so why did he need to use a divine artifact? External objects were ultimately external objects after all.

Create a new ability for himself? What should he create? The power of time or space? Or improve the power of his divine spark?

After thinking about it, Roy felt a little troubled because it was actually not a good thing to have too many types of power. The stronger the power, the more convergent it was in the later stages!

For example, if Roy were to destroy a planet, he had many ways to do it. He could send a virus disaster to the planet and instantly infect all the life on the planet. Similarly, he could freeze the entire planet in an instant or directly burn it down with flames. He could use the power of the earth to turn the planet’s land upside down, or he could use the power of his divine spark to infect the entire planet and cause all objects to fall into self-destruction.

Regardless of which power method it was, he could destroy the entire planet. Since the final outcome was the same, what was the difference in having a few more methods of destruction?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Roy felt that he didn’t need to add any more special powers. Instead, he placed his focus on improving the ‘quality’ of his existing powers. He had to break through to the Deadly Sin level.

But this wasn’t an easy task. Lilith had once said that the Deadly Sin level required at least 666 times the energy of the demon king level!

Note that it was ‘at least’! In other words, 666 times demon king-level strength was actually just a threshold, a threshold from quantitative to qualitative change. There was no limit beyond this.

The number 666 might have some special symbolic meaning to demons. Roy didn’t find it strange, but it was already very difficult to achieve the energy and magic Power of a demon king, let alone increase it by 666 times. If Roy imitated other demon kings and unrestrainedly threw clones everywhere in the various planes and worlds, allowing the clones to hunt souls freely to improve themselves, it would probably take an extremely long time to gather these 666 demon king-level clones.

Therefore, apart from exceptionally talented races like world-soul titans or the oldest angels and demons, Roy had never seen any new generation of angels and demons that could advance to the Deadly Sin level.

So, can the one hundred trillion souls I obtained from Sargeras allow me to break through to the Deadly Sin level?

With this thought in mind, Roy had been studying the system interface, trying to create new definitions and attributes, and then checking the requirements to determine what he should do next.

Originally, Roy wanted to turn all these one hundred trillion souls into Magic Power Potions to increase his magic power. Unfortunately, the results of his calculations told him that even if he turned all the souls into Magic Power Potions, he wouldn’t be able to reach the Deadly Sin level!

In other words, I shouldn’t use these one hundred trillion souls like this! Roy understood after seeing this result. But how should I use them?

Roy firmly believed that the one hundred trillion souls he had requested from Sargeras definitely had a special meaning. But because he didn’t understand it clearly now, he felt a little frustrated. After he tried for a long time without figuring it out, his head was spinning, so he had to stop for the time being. He walked to the window of the starship and observed the scenery outside to relax.

At this moment, Rafaro was flying in warp flight across a distance of more than a million light-years in the universe. During the warp flight, because hyperspace was distorted, all the scenes in his line of sight had a dreamlike and blurry dynamic effect. This was a rather wonderful experience.

Especially with Roy’s various super senses, the sights he could see were even more mysterious.

While Roy was observing the scenery outside, Rafaro’s voice sounded in the cabin. “Ah, Great Master! Thank you for creating this method of travel for me. I never thought that I would one day use my own body to shuttle through the gap between time and space.”

“Hmph, you’re probably the first dragon to be able to fly in the universe like this!” Roy smiled. “It wasn’t in vain that I spent my souls to build a warp engine for you.”

“Yes, it’s really wonderful. During this warp-speed voyage, I feel a special kind of beauty!” Rafaro said. “This beauty comes from the beauty of mathematics! The moment the engine started operating, I seemed to feel the ultimate truth of this universe!”

Roy smiled and shook his head. “Mathematics isn’t the ultimate truth of this universe but the ultimate truth that exists in all universes! It’s the lowest-level rule for constructing universes. Once you have a divine spark, you will be able to see more clearly!”

“Is that so? I’m looking forward to that day!” Rafaro said happily, wondering when he could obtain a divine spark.

The conversation with Rafaro could only be regarded as casual. But after the conversation, Roy seemed to have touched something. Wait! Math?!

The arrival of inspiration might come without warning. The moment these words flashed in his mind, Roy suddenly felt a surge of inspiration. His eyes lit up, and he excitedly flashed back to his throne. Sitting on it, he immersed his mind and opened the system interface.

“Set it to be every day… No, this won’t work. This will cause the number to be too large. A hundred trillion times a hundred trillion might not even be enough!

“Extend the time and see…

“It still doesn’t work. It’s still too large. Perhaps I have to set an upper limit…

“Every month? No, it’s still too large…

“Every year? It still doesn’t work. It’s still large…

“I have to continue enlarging the units…”

Roy continued experimenting. About two hours later, he suddenly burst out laughing. “Hahaha!!! This is it! Finally, I know how to use these one hundred trillion souls!”

Standing in the starship, Roy laughed wildly and excitedly. The overflowing energy was uncontrollable and spread throughout the entire starship, almost affecting Rafaro’s warp flight.

“Great Master, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing? Is there something happy?” Rafaro asked.

Roy tried his best to restrain his ecstatic mood. “Of course. You’ll understand later!”

Rafaro naturally couldn’t see the system interface in the depths of Roy’s mind, so he wouldn’t know that there was a special new attribute in Roy’s interface.

[Movement to the End of Reincarnation]:

Attribute: Talent, effective on Demon Osiris himself only.

Definition: Set the sum of all current bodies, souls, spirits, magic power, and various power states to a value of ‘1’. Set the unit of each rotation cycle of the planet Azeroth to be ‘day’. Calculate starting from the current time point and ending with the time point involved in the spacetime flux, every time the time flow sequentially advances by 666 ‘days’, your comprehensive value will increase by 1‰!

Yes, the Movement to the End of Reincarnation was the new attribute Roy created for himself with a hundred trillion souls!

Moreover, one hundred trillion souls, no more, no less, was just enough to establish this new attribute and successfully materialize it. This made Roy certain that this was what he needed!

The special number of 666 days had extraordinary significance at this moment… This number was calculated based on a day of Azeroth. It was a little more than a year on Azeroth. In other words, every year or so, Roy would increase his strength by 1‰ based on the total of all his strengths and powers.

This increase was not high. But Roy estimated that the time point he had arrived at after being thrown into the spacetime flux might be between 25,000 to 30,000 years before the first opening of the Dark Portal. If he could end the closed loop of time and return to the time when he was swept into the spacetime flux, then the time span would be as long as 20,000 to 30,000 thousand years. Having an improvement every year or so was equivalent to having 15,000 occurrences of his strength increasing!

Moreover, this calculation method was a compound calculation. If expressed in a mathematical formula, it was (1 + 1‰)^15,000! What was this value?

It was 3,244,607!!!

In other words, the moment Roy ended this closed time loop, his overall strength would increase by more than 3.24 million times!!

At that time, he could only put it in one word: invincible!

Let alone Dark Titans Sargeras, let alone the Pantheon, he could even kill the Void Lords! He would become the strongest demon in the entire universe and the entire Infinite Worlds!

To be honest, even Roy felt that it was terrifying and unbelievable after calculating this number himself. The growth of one thousandth seemed so inconspicuous in the early stages, but the more it progressed, the more terrifying the growth was. So much so that he couldn’t believe it when he saw the final value. Was this the result that a hundred trillion souls can achieve?!

This was the result of Roy setting an end point for the calculation. If he didn’t set this end point, his strength would continue to increase indefinitely and achieve an even more terrifying result.

Even Roy didn’t dare to imagine what kind of consequences this would have.

Perhaps he would become the entire universe…
