Chapter 541: Army

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy pinched Benia’s tail and rubbed Julia’s wing roots. Just as the two of them were about to go limp, he helped them stand steadily.

After asking how much time had passed in the Abyss, Roy nodded and asked,

“Where’s the army I asked you to bring?”

“Isn’t it there?” Benia pointed at the Gate of the Abyss behind her.

Roy looked up and saw Fat Tiger’s colossal titan hellhound body emerging from the Gate of the Abyss. As he walked, his three heads looked around adorably. Sareth, who had Calamity at his waist, was riding on Fat Tiger’s back and observing the surroundings curiously like him. When the human and dog found that the frozen environment around them didn’t seem to be much different from Frostfire City, they quickly lost interest.

Then Fat Tiger and Sareth saw Roy. Sareth waved at Roy excitedly and urged Fat Tiger to run over.

But unlike in the past, Fat Tiger didn’t rush over like a tank to lick Roy. Instead, he slowly carried Sareth over calmly before lying down in front of Roy and barking.

After they passed through the Gate of the Abyss, Abyss demons began to appear one after another. Inferno Overlord Berial, Madama Styx, and the other demon lords were leading them through the Gate of the Abyss.

It was the army that Julia and Benia had brought from Frostfire City…

Sareth jumped down from Fat Tiger’s back, and Roy reached out to catch him.

After weighing him, he smiled. “Not bad. You’ve grown taller and heavier!”

“Of course!” Sareth rubbed his nose proudly. “Foster Father, I can now completely demonize like Dante!”

“Oh?” Roy was surprised. ‘You reached the lord level so quickly? Impressive!”

Sareth smiled, a little embarrassed. Roy looked at Fat Tiger, who was lying like a small mountain in front of him, and asked Julia, “What’s wrong with this guy? Why did he suddenly become calm?”

“He’s a father!” Julia curled her lips. “Cerberus gave birth to a litter of three-headed hellhounds for him! So she didn’t follow him this time, and Cassandra is helping take care of the puppies.”

Roy’s eyes widened. Although he knew that Cerberus had been pursuing Fat Tiger, he didn’t expect that she would really take down Fat Tiger, this silly, straightforward dog. During the time he was not in Frostfire City, Fat Tiger had become a father?!

Roy’s head was full of question marks. Speaking of which, when I created Fat Tiger, did I add a fertility function for him? Or did the system complete it on its own?

“Tsk, what a big change!” Thinking that there might be a bunch of silly little Fat Tigers surrounding him after returning, Roy felt a headache. But looking at the army teleporting over from the Gate of the Abyss one after another, he noticed this iceberg was already showing signs of being unable to accommodate them. He could only stop thinking about this for the time being and use his frost power to expand the iceberg.

During Roy’s absence, Julia and Benia had not been idle. They had been expanding his demon army. They continuously recruited large numbers of demons from the upper and middle levels of the Abyss and also recruited a large number of high-rank demons. Coupled with Inferno Overlord Berial, Madama Styx, and the other demon lords, Roy’s demon king army was already quite large.

“Your Majesty!” After a while, the demons pouring out of the Gate of the Abyss began to decrease, and the Gate of the Abyss slowly closed. Madama Styx waved her black phoenix-tailed demon butterfly wings behind her and came to Roy. “Your demon king army has assembled. There are about four hundred thousand low-rank demons, one hundred thousand middle-rank demons, and ten thousand high-rank demons. We await your instructions.”

“An army of around five hundred and fifty thousand demon soldiers?” Roy nodded. This number was almost enough, so he praised Madama Styx, making her smile.

Inferno Overlord Berial, this fiery bull, walked over with his sword of flames. It was obvious that the surrounding frozen environment made him very uncomfortable. He came in front of Roy, lowered his head, and saluted him. Then he spat fire and asked, “Your Majesty, did you summon us to destroy this world?”

“No, our opponents might be seven demon kings!” Roy replied.

These words almost made Berial stagger to the ground. He looked at Roy in disbelief. “Seven… seven demon kings?”

“Maybe eight or more!” Roy silently counted Inarius and Lilith, making Berial even more speechless. Why are His Majestys opponents becoming more and more… high-end?!

However, out of veneration for Roy’s powerful strength, the demon lords didn’t have too many doubts. In any case, they would kill whoever he told them to, even if they were demon kings.

In contrast, Julia asked worriedly, “What’s going on? Darling, did you fall out with Mephisto?”

“More or less. This world is very unique. You’ll soon understand. The humans here are all Sareth’s compatriots!” Roy said. “They’re all descendants born from the union of angels and demons!”

As soon as Sareth heard what Roy said, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked,

“Really, Foster Father?”

“That’s right! They’re all nephilim like you, Dante, Vergil, and the others. But in this world, they’re called nephalem. The pronunciation is slightly different,” Roy said. “So I want to preserve this special world and not let it be destroyed. But Mephisto and his brothers have become our competitors this time…”

Benia understood. “Mephisto and the others have been operating in this world for many years. They have a large army, and the demons here will only obey them. Is that why you asked us to bring your army over?”

“Yes!” Roy nodded. It was indeed so. The demons of the Burning Hells could be said to be the subordinates of the seven demon kings. Even when they attacked the High Heavens earlier and these demon soldiers were under Roy’s command, they only did so under the orders of the seven demon kings. Moreover, the souls of the native demons of the Burning Hells were bound to the Hellforge, so they would only recognize the seven demon kings as their masters. No matter how famous Roy was as the King of Despair, it was impossible for him to get the demons to turn around and attack the seven demon kings.

When he attacked the High Heavens earlier, he had been able to fight against Imperius and the other three Archangels with the help of the seven demon kings’ army. It was the same now. If he wanted to fight the seven demon kings on their home ground. he had to have an army to deal with their cannon

fodder. This was why he had summoned Julia and the others.

Facing seven demon kings, he was still a little weak alone…

In addition, this world had the world-soul titan Trag’Oul and the Red Sea Queen Lilith. Although Roy didn’t know if they would really fight, he had to plan ahead.

After hearing about the situation Roy was facing, Benia pondered for a moment and said, “Then, this army might not be enough. We still need to summon more. In addition, we lack high-end combat strength. Julia and I can fuse and release the demon Junia…”

“It doesn’t matter. We still have time!” Roy nodded. “If there aren’t enough troops, then we’ll open another Gate of the Abyss. Moreover, we’re still watching the show for the time being. I’m not the only opponent of the seven demon kings!”

Next, Berial, Madama Styx, and the others went to settle the army. Julia, Benia, and Sareth surrounded Roy and chatted about the recent situation after Roy left. While they were catching up, the war situation in Sanctuary changed drastically.

When the human territories were constantly falling under the attack of the hell army, when it became more and more difficult for humans to resist, the necromancers of the Priests of Rathma appeared. These necromancers, who had always been unaccepted by the world, brought the undead army they had awakened and joined the battlefront against the demons. With the help of the undead army that was tireless and didn’t know pain, humans finally stood firm under the attacks of the demons.

However, what made people feel strange was that these necromancers, who had always believed in the path of balance, did not continue to promote their concept of balance to the world. Instead, they kept mentioning the sins the nephalem had once committed against their ‘mother’.

The seven demon kings and even Roy were wrong about one thing. Although Lilith had returned, when the humans of Sanctuary were attacked by the demon army, she didn’t immediately stand up to protect her children. Although she was indeed the mother of the nephalem and had maternal instincts, don’t forget that she was still a demon. Back then, because of Uldyssian’s rebellion against her, she had been banished to the Void again. She couldn’t forgive this so easily!

Therefore, even though Mendeln welcomed her back again and hoped to obtain Lilith’s help in the upcoming disaster, she didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she told him that she would only take action after the nephalem apologized to her and obtained her forgiveness.

This was why the necromancers of the Priests of Rathma suddenly appeared and preached about their sins. Because of Mendeln, they were the first to understand the situation of the Sin War. Now, they hoped to preach the history of the Sin War and make people repent to Lilith.

Unfortunately, this effort quickly failed. For many short-lived nephalem, what happened thousands of years ago was a very long time ago, and they had no feelings about it. They had no impression of the ‘mother of the nephalem’ that they had never seen before. In addition, the always eerie and gloomy necromancers made it difficult for ordinary nephalem to trust them. Many people even subconsciously developed conspiracy theories, thinking that this might be some kind of scheme by the necromancers to seize their souls…

Some wise and farsighted people believed the necromancers, but these people were only a few after all, and they couldn’t affect everyone’s will. Contradictions and differences had always existed in human society, and it was the same now.

The necromancers, who had been away from people for a long time and had been dealing with corpses, didn’t expect such a situation to happen. Being fooled by Trag’Oul’s path of balance, they lacked an understanding of human society. The final outcome of this matter was that their appearance gave the human defense line a breather. The various kingdoms felt that they could do it again, that they didn’t need the mother of the nephalem to save them, and that humans could defeat the demons themselves.

With this thought, the ruling class found the nephalem heroes who had defeated Diablo in the High Heavens. They convinced these powerful heroes to return to the battlefield and fizht against the armv of Hell in an attempt to defeat Inarius.

The necromancers were at a loss and didn’t know what to do. The seven demon kings were also puzzled. Inarius didn’t lure Lilith out?

Roy was the only one who understood the entire situation. He, who had Demon Eyes looking everywhere, felt that the real reason why Lilith had yet to appear might be that she was waiting for an opportunity.. Moreover, she was probably doing the same thing as Roy—accumulating her own army…
