Chapter 360 The Sign of the World’s Destruction

When Roy saw this Weak Void Infection status, even he was shocked.

He really did not expect that just through the soul connection and seeing Urgash’s dream for a while that Void power would infect him.

How can Void power be so contagious?

The alarmed Roy quickly began to seek solutions.

He first tried to circulate his magic power throughout his entire body in an attempt to find the abnormal power brought about by this infection. But unexpectedly, he could not sense anything abnormal about himself through this method. His magic power circulation was unobstructed, and the flow of magic power seemed to be smoother than usual.

What’s going on? Roy felt puzzled. After thinking that this infection might be at the spiritual level, Roy tried to use his Psychokinesis, only to find that Psychokinesis was the same. Not only was it working smoothly, but it was also stronger than usual.

Roy suddenly felt confused. He crossed his arms, sat down on the ground, and started thinking carefully.

After a while, Roy came to a bold conclusion. Maybe in the early stages of Void power infection, it might really cause the being’s power to increase!

This was like a temptation. Think about it. If a person who did not know about fthe danger of the Void found that they had obtained a tremendous improvement and became stronger after being corroded by Void power, would they continue to use this power?

This was probably why the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse called it ‘Corruption’ in the Darksiders world. If, after coming into contact with this power, someone were to wallow in the powerful changes it brought without knowing, they would eventually degenerate thoroughly! What would someone become if Void power corroded them completely? Roy did not know yet, but he thought that they would definitely not have a good ending. Perhaps they might lose themselves and become a complete Void monster, and then they would choose to devour continuously because they would never be able to satisfy their hunger…

After realizing this, Roy naturally became alert, and he did not hesitate because of this increase in power.

Opening the system interface, he used his souls to create a bottle of purification potion and defined its attributes as-remove all negative abnormal statuses.

After materializing, he immediately raised his head and drank it.

This potion actually consumed a thousand souls, but the result was a powerful potion effect. After drinking it, he opened his attributes panel and checked.

He heaved a sigh of relief. This potion really worked, and the Void Infection status disappeared.

Roy threw the empty potion bottle aside and continued pondering.

He was sure that what he received should be secondary Void power infection because he had not truly come into contact with Void power. Urgash had only transmitted it to him through the soul connection. This infection could not be considered true Void corrosion, so some means could indeed purify this corrosion effect.

But… if I encounter true Void power, could I still remove it so easily through the purification potion?

Roy thought that it was impossible. If it were so easily solvable, Samael and Lilith would not have had such a headache in the Darksiders world. A great demon king could only watch helplessly as his lair was devoured bit by bit…

This was the first time Roy had truly come into contact with Void power. Fortunately, he had only come into contact with it indirectly. Although he had resolved it, he could understand how dangerous this power was just through this strange spiritual contagiousness. Now, the question was, how did Void power corrode Urgash?

Where did the Void power come from? What was its original source? How long had it been since Urgash was infected?

Due to the power levels, the demons that came to this world were basically subordinates of Urgash. In other words, almost all the demons obeyed him. But during the soul connection with Urgash, someone in the upper hierarchy of power like him actually turned his head to seek help from a lower-level power like Roy!

What did this mean? It meant that Urgash felt desperate and in despair, so he was desperately trying to grab any straw that could save him…

It was unimaginable that a Dragon God worshipped as a God of Creation would end up in such a state. This made Roy’s vigilance against Void power deepen. Even someone as powerful as Urgash was helpless after being corroded by Void power. This power was too dangerous.

So, should I save Urgash?

Haha, what kind of joke is this? Although Roy said it earnestly during their soul connection, it was only to break free from the shackles of Urgash’s dream. In fact, after escaping and knowing that the Void had infected Urgash, he had never thought of saving him!

We’re unrelated in any way, so how can I take such an immense risk for merely a small number of souls?

Roy’s soul contact with Urgash was nothing more than to establish a contract with him to get time to stay in this world. It was the request of the demon lords imprisoned in Sheogh. If he wanted to obtain souls from them, he had to stay in this world and think of a way to save them.

Under normal circumstances, this was naturally a good way for Roy to prolong his stay. However, after discovering that the Void had corroded Urgash, this method became extremely dangerous. Merely the soul connection alone had caused Roy to suffer secondary Void infection. Wouldn’t it be even more dangerous if he signed a demon contract? When signing contracts and leaving the names, what both sides left behind was traces of their power. Who could guarantee that the traces of Urgash’s power mixed with the Void would not transmit to Roy through the contract?

If it really did, then it would not be as simple as a secondary infection…

Therefore, Roy almost did not even think about it and rejected the option of saving Urgash, and he did not intend to take the twenty million souls from the demon lords.

The reason why he was still thinking about it was that he thought of another more serious problem.

That was… the possibility of this world being destroyed!

There was no doubt about this. Since Void corrosion infected Urgash, one of the Dragons of Creation, then as time passed, he might gradually degenerate into a Void creature and eventually lose his will. He would become a monster with only devouring instincts and completely devour this world.

The more powerful an existence was, the more dangerous they would be after being infected by the Void because once they were corrupted and transformed, it would be immensely difficult for others to have the power to fight them.

And Urgash was undoubtedly the most powerful existence in this world. The only one that could match him was the Dragon of Order, Asha. But even Urgash was in this state. What could Asha, who was also injured and recuperating, do?

Roy even suspected that Asha might have also suffered the corrosion of Void power!

He guessed that the reason why Urgash was corroded by Void power was most likely because he was constantly absorbing power from all over to repair his body while he was injured and dormant. It was this absorption of power that led to Void power entering him. If this guess was correct, then Asha, who was also recuperating, would have a similar action…

No wonder it had been difficult for the people of this world to contact the two Dragons of Creation since a thousand years ago…

Roy did not know the true situation of Asha, and he was only guessing now. But regardless of whether or not Asha’s situation was the same as Urgash’s, just him alone had the power to destroy this world.

As for how long it would take for Urgash to degenerate thoroughly, he was not sure. But judging from the soul connection, Urgash’s condition was terrible. Perhaps a hundred years, or perhaps fifty years, the Void power in him could erupt.

Continuing to stay in a world about to face the grave danger of destruction was simply something that only a fool would do. Roy was only a demon lord now, and he could not resist this devastating catastrophe, so he naturally could not stay any longer.

However, if he left quietly like this, he would really lose his status. Roy was currently the only demon lord in the world of Ashan.

In particular, during this period of time, he had gotten Giovanni to cause trouble in the kingdom of Heresh. This caused the people of the various races to feel danger, so they had already assembled an army again to prepare to attack him. It will be a pity if I leave without a word… I can leave on my own, but I absolutely can’t let the people here think that they expelled me. Otherwise, there could be talk belittling me among the angels over in Heaven.

In the darkness, Roy’s demon pupils erupted with red light, as though he had made an important decision.

Roy stood up and left the secret underground room. He did not even contact the Sheogh demon lords and let them continue to wait anxiously.

I, Demon Lord Osiris, the Lord of Darkness and Winter, will be playing big next!
