Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 317 Oriole

This truly... surprised Roy.

At first, he thought that this was impossible. How could a demon open a Gate of Heaven? But after reading through Xeron’s memories, he found out that this was real!

The Gate of the Abyss and the Gate of Heaven were ultimately just a kind of spatial teleportation magic. The only difference was that opening a Gate of the Abyss required building a magic formation with demon characters, and opening a Gate of Heaven required building a magic formation with angel characters. In the millions and millions of years of continuous usage by angels and demons, these two types of spatial magic had long been very, very mature.

The patterns, characters, and incantations needed to construct the magic formation had almost reached an unchangeable level. In simple terms, it was simply foolproof. As long as you engraved the magic formation correctly, you could activate it by inputting a bit of magic power.

This was probably the first type of space magic that angels and demons could come into contact with. Whether they used it for going somewhere or returning, it was very simple. Therefore, in fact, as long as they had the mind to spend some time, be it angels or demons, they could actually learn the other party’s spatial gate magic. Of course, even if they could learn it, they might not necessarily be able to use it. Demon characters often contained dark power, and angel characters contained holy power.

If demons rashly used angel characters, holy power would definitely injure them. Similarly, when angels used demon characters, dark power would definitely corrode them. This was the tremendous restraint in attributes of the two races who were natural enemies. If they were not strong enough and rashly used the other party’s characters, they would certainly suffer.

In addition, there was another very important problem. Because both sides were not familiar with each other’s world, when opening a spatial gate, the gate would use a random spatial coordinate. Before passing through the spatial gate, no one knew where it connected to in the other side’s world, so weaker angels and demons who wanted to go to the other’s world were really courting death. In history, the war between angels and demons had been going on for an immensely long time, but neither side had been able to eliminate the other because they could not destroy the other’s lair.

During certain times, it was not that there were no radical angels and demons who formed a powerful expedition army and directly attacked the other party’s world. But without exception, these so-called expedition armies had all failed. Be it angels wanting to destroy the Abyss or demons wanting to conquer Heaven, they were naturally restrained by the environment when fighting in the opponent’s territory. And in the end, they were all annihilated.

From this, it was not strange that angels or demons could open a spatial gate of the other’s world. However, if they wanted to use the other party’s text and magic to open a gate to the other’s world, not only did they need to be proficient in space magic, but they also needed to have sufficient strength.

In the past, there had been many cases of invasions. But as time passed, such cases became fewer and fewer. In the current era, opening a gate to the other’s world had gradually become a trial, a ritual.

Every time high-rank demons wanted to become demon lords, they would think of ways to learn space magic to prepare to open a Gate of Heaven independently. This was why advancing to demon lord required knowing space magic. After these demons felt that they were strong enough, they could open a Gate of Heaven and enter Heaven under the witness of many demons. Due to the repulsive force of this world, the Gate of Heaven opened by these demons would only last for a short period of time. What these demons needed to do was to play a ‘survival game’ in Heaven until the Gate of Heaven closed and pushed them out. Then the ritual was complete.

When demons entered the world of Heaven, they would often cause the angels to feel an induction in their hearts and come to hunt them. Similarly, when angels entered the Abyss, they would attract numerous demons to hunt them. Therefore, if they could open a gate of the other’s world, enter for a while, kill enemies under a siege, and return safely, it would be regarded as a great merit and glory!

In order to become true demon lords, they had to have this merit in order to gain recognition. Similarly, if angels wanted to advance to six-winged thrones, they also needed such a war medal. After Roy understood the process of this ritual, he had the thought of complaining.

In game terms, isn’t this all about just a f*cking achievement? Although he was complaining, Roy actually saw the danger clearly. Yes, this ritual was actually exceedingly dangerous! First, if demons wanted to enter Heaven, Heaven would repulse them the moment they entered. Just like how the Abyss was brimming with infinite darkness and flames, Heaven was definitely brimming with infinite holy light.

The demons who entered would be under the attack of holy light at every moment, and it could be said that their strength was suppressed to the extreme. Under such circumstances, they also had to fight against an unending stream of angels. It was evident how much pressure they would have to face. Coupled with the fact that they were natural enemies, once they died in battle, even the Ouroborus Mark would not be able to protect them, and the angels would immediately capture and purify their souls, truly and utterly annihilating them. It was no wonder that the passing rate of the demon lord promotion ritual had always been so low.

In Xeron’s memories, there were only slightly more than a hundred demon lords among the hundreds of millions of demons in the Abyss...

Of course, while demons or angels were constantly fighting against the attributes of the other’s world, they would also hone their strength. This would cause the ones who successfully returned after completing the ritual to experience a rapid increase in strength. Finally, they would become true demigods and true demon lords.

This was the reward obtained for returning alive... Therefore, for millions of years, even though they knew that the success rate was extremely low, demons still continued to attack Heaven.

This was also why Xeron wanted to obtain the protection of Kha-Beleth. He knew that it would be impossible for him to pass the promotion ritual alone. He needed the source power of Kha-Beleth to protect himself and resist the omnipresent holy light, allowing him to retain his greatest combat strength when he entered Heaven so that he could complete the promotion.

Roy thoughtfully asked Benia, who was beside him, “Benia, you’ve been in the Abyss for many years. Have you ever encountered angels invading the Abyss?” After hearing Roy’s question, Benia was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.

“Are you referring to the angel trial of Heaven? Yes, I’ve encountered it. Although it was only once and about two hundred years ago, an angel opened a Gate of the Abyss, and it just happened to open about three hundred kilometers west of where I lived. That was a magnificent scene.

The demons within a radius of thousands of kilometers sensed this angel and flooded toward the angel. There were probably more than ten million, and they used the demon sea tactic to overwhelm the angel to death... At that time, I was still a middle-rank demon, and I attacked with magic several times from the back. Although I wasn’t in danger this way, I didn’t personally experience the feeling of killing that angel...” As she spoke, Benia revealed a regretful expression.

Roy nodded. It was easy to imagine the scene of using numbers to consume the magic power of an angel and then killing them... With Benia’s description, Roy could roughly imagine that it was likely a similar situation when demons entered Heaven. After sighing in relief, Roy gathered all the remaining troops and said, “Let’s go. Xeron is already dead. Next, we should go to the battlefield of Ur-Hekal!”

“Are you going to attack Kha-Beleth?” Julia understood Roy’s meaning and asked worriedly, “Darling, are you confident?”

“Regardless of whether I’m confident or not, I have to go!” A red light shone in Roy’s Eyes of Nightmare, and the pentagram in them became more and more clear. He clenched his demon claws and said, “It’s too rare an opportunity to encounter a lone demon lord. If I miss this opportunity, it won’t be easy to challenge a demon lord...” There was something else that Roy did not say out loud. In fact, he was quite confident in his heart because he had a trump card that he had not used. If he really could not defeat Kha-Beleth, he would use it without hesitation.

However, Julia and the others did not know about this. After hearing Roy’s words, Benia nodded. “Indeed, and we still have Isabel in our hands. She’s pregnant with Kha-Beleth’s child and can make him cautious. Such an opportunity really won’t happen again.” “Okay, leave the demon army of Ur-Hekal to us. We will do our best to create an opportunity for you!” Julia said.

“Your Excellency Osiris, we will do our best to help you!” Giovanni bowed respectfully to Roy with his vampires.

“What else do you want to say? Just kill him!” Rafaro said anxiously, “Let’s go quickly. If Kha-Beleth kills too many of the alliance army, I won’t be able to absorb enough life force to resurrect...” Roy nodded. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, quickly flying toward Ur-Hekal. Behind him, an enormous group of black shadows flew out, just like a group of orioles behind the cicada-stalking mantis...
