Custom Made Demon King

Seeing the roots of the Red Sea Egg wrap around the insect egg fossils, Roy thought that it was indeed so.

Beelzebub was known as the Lord of the Flies, so the eggs he left behind should have most likely hatched into giant flies. Unfortunately, Roy did not know if it was because Beelzebub had not given the order for these eggs to hatch when he left, but the eggs had maintained their appearance for a long time without hatching. Now, not only were these eggs gradually fossilizing, but the magic power in them was also about to dissipate.

But it was about to dissipate, meaning that there was still some remaining. With millions of insect eggs added together, this amount of magic power was not small.

Beelzebub was a big shot, and he would not feel the pinch if he wasted this magic power. But for Roy, he could use the magic power here. It was the best fertilizer for planting the Red Sea Egg.

The Red Sea Egg could be said to be a gene editor with extremely powerful functions. But correspondingly, if he wanted to make it work, he needed to provide it with enough energy, which was either magic power or blood food. In short, he had to provide it with nutrients. In fact, he had been worried about where to find so much fertilizer for the Red Sea Egg. If he really could not find any, he would have had to provide magic power himself. But he did not expect to find so many fly eggs deep underground

If he did not make use of them, it would have been a wasted trip.

The flesh roots of the Red Sea Egg spread to these insect eggs and split apart to wrap around them. Under the watchful eyes of Roy and Benia, these insect eggs were gradually unable to maintain their shape. The insect eggs that had their energy absorbed turned into stone and shattered under the heavy pressure, finally turning into gravel.

The bud of the Red Sea Egg was growing rapidly at a visible speed.

Upon seeing this scene, Benia asked Roy in fear, “These things… are the insect eggs left behind by Demon King Beelzebub. Is it really okay for this thing to eat it?”

Roy looked at her and smiled. “What’s the problem? Don’t forget that even low-level monsters like Big Black dare to eat the insect eggs. Are you worried that Beelzebub will come look for us?”

After a pause, Roy continued, “To be honest, I was a little worried at the beginning. He should have placed this shell in the alternate space because he wanted to save it and keep it as a clone or something. After all, there is a large amount of magic power sealed in it. With slight modification, it would become a powerful clone… But now, as you’ve seen, even the insect eggs are all about to turn into fossils, meaning that it has been a long time. I guess that he has probably forgotten about this matter.”

“Okay, I hope it’s as you say…” After hearing Roy’s answer, Benia felt relieved. Although she had suggested for him to think of a way to find the enlightenment of becoming a demon king from Beelzebub’s shell, and this idea was certainly very exciting, after seeing him really take action, she felt a little uneasy.

After all, she was merely a high-rank demon. To her, the demon king level was too high-end.

Roy waited quietly for the Red Sea Egg to grow as thoughts were running through his mind. This shell of Beelzebub contained high-quality magic power at the demon king level. Just the aura of this level of magic power made his heart palpitate and fearful. But after personally sensing it, the total amount of magic power contained in it was not much. Perhaps it was because it was stored in an alternate space and could not prevent the magic power from dissipating, but the amount of magic power contained in this shell was probably about the same as Roy’s. In terms of numbers, it was between eighty to one hundred thousand.

Of course, this was actually very terrifying. After all, this was only an empty shell left behind by Beelzebub, but it was actually as powerful as a demon lord, making Roy unable to imagine how powerful a demon king was!

If a demon lord was a demigod, then a demon king should be a true god, right?

“Do you think Beelzebub’s main body is stronger than Urgash?” Roy suddenly asked Benia.

Upon hearing this question, Benia was stunned. When she left the world of Ashan, she had seen Urgash escape with her own eyes, so she naturally understood the mighty prestige he had when he appeared. But suddenly getting her to compare them, she really could not say anything

After thinking about it, Benia shook her head. “I really don’t know. After all, Urgash isn’t a demon born in the Abyss, and his strength and nature should be different from those of demons, so it’s hard to compare. Moreover, the true body you mentioned… should be referring to Beelzebub’s Deadly Sin Demon King level body. That level has already far exceeded my imagination… If you want me to say it, then I’ll bet on Beelzebub. I think he’s stronger.”

“Oh, why?” Roy asked with interest. “Urgash is a Dragon of Creation. Can’t he compare to Beelzebub like this?”

“It’s different!” Benia shook her head. “Although Urgash is a Dragon of Creation and a god, I feel that he’s like a fish raised in a fish tank. No matter what he does, he’s only in Ashan. In other worlds, no one has heard of his name. On the contrary, the name of Beelzebub is widely spread in many worlds.”

“Makes sense…” Roy rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, “But have you thought about it? The Abyss has always talked about the Deadly Sin Demon Kings, but so far, I’ve encountered two demon kings, Samael and Lilith, plus the current Beelzebub, making three. And the feeling they give me is that they should all belong to the demon king level, so I’ve always thought that they were their clones. Does the true Deadly Sin Demon King level still exist?”

In the myths and legends of humans and even all the other races, there were stories about the Seven Lords of Hell. They were Lucifer representing pride, Leviathan representing envy, Samael representing wrath, Beelzebub representing gluttony, Belphegor representing sloth, Mammon representing greed, and Asmodeus representing lust. People also called the Seven Lords of Hell the Seven Demon Kings. But in fact, in the Abyss of Hell, there were not only the seven of them who were called demon kings. Apart from them, the Red Sea Queen Lilith was also a demon king.

It was not like five of the Four Heavenly Kings, eight of the Seven Demon Kings, and so on either. Not only was there Lilith, but there were also famous demon kings like Baal, Belial, Mephistos, and so on. Roy had even heard Diablo’s name from some high-rank demons before!

In the Abyss, the generally accepted view by the demons was that there were actually thirteen demon kings. Lucifer, Leviathan, and the others of the Seven Demon Kings were the strongest, being at the Deadly Sin Demon King level among the thirteen demon kings. They were the rulers who had existed since the birth of the Abyss of Hell, and the likes of Baal and Mephistos were the demon kings who later promoted.

In order to distinguish between these thirteen demon kings, there were the two levels of demon king and Deadly Sin Demon King in the Abyss.

Benia was actually saying a lot. She could not imagine what level of power a Deadly Sin Demon King had. It was not just her. It could be said that 99.99% of the demons in the entire Abyss had not seen a Deadly Sin Demon King with their own eyes. Just like how Roy had encountered Samael when he entered the Darksiders world, demons would occasionally encounter the Seven Demon Kings of Hell when they went to other worlds.

From this, it could be seen that the Seven Demon Kings more or less existed in multiple worlds at the same time!

The reason for this was simple. Since it was not possible that the demons had encountered the true bodies of the Seven Demon Kings, they were only clones of the Seven Demon Kings.

Apart from marveling at the fact that even the clones were at the demon king level, the demons could only worship the Seven Demon Kings more fanatically. They could not imagine how terrifying and powerful they would be once their demon king-level clones returned and fused back into their main bodies!

Therefore, Benia believed that the Deadly Sin Demon Kings were stronger than Urgash, which was reasonable because this title represented the pinnacle of demons!

Any demon, when they encountered the clones of the Seven Demon Kings, would obey the orders of the clones unconditionally. They would not even frown regardless of how arduous or life-threatening the task was, just like fanatics.

Of course, there were also a few calm and rational demons like Roy. After experiencing multiple worlds, they would have doubts like him. Why were there so many demon king clones? These clones were so powerful and intelligent, so would they really be willing to return to their main bodies one day and become a part of their main bodies again?

The split soul fragments could also produce self-awareness. There was no need to doubt this. Roy had already discovered a rather strange phenomenon. In order to strengthen their ability to hunt souls, low-level demons would use their soul fragments to create clones. Similarly, the demon kings at the top also had clones. On the contrary, it was rare to see clones of high-rank demons and demon lords.

At least the demon lords that Roy had come into contact with did not do this…

Why was this so? The demon lords must have realized the disadvantages and did not dare to do anything rash. They did not need to care about the low-level demons who used clones, but they seemed to be observing the clones of the demon kings, wanting to see how the demon kings would solve this problem in the end.

Moreover, not only was the Abyss of Hell facing this problem, but even Heaven was facing this problem. The high-level Archangels, such as Gabriel and Raphael, also had the habit of using clones. But the strength of these clones seemed to be about the same as Samael and the others. According to this logic, the Archangels should also have a level that corresponded to Deadly Sin Demon King.

What could it be? Twelve-winged archangel? It seems to have been mentioned in some ancient legends… Roy’s imagination was running wild. After some time, the Red Sea Egg finally absorbed most of the insect egg fossils. The rhythmic thumping like a heart beating came from the enormous bud again.
