Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 161 Actually, I Am From the Burning Legion!

In fact, before seeing Fury, Roy had been thinking about how to deal with these Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what topics to attract their interest.

Since the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were siblings, he had thought about using the topic to the imprisoned War in the beginning. He believed that the other Horsemen would definitely take the matter of War being framed seriously.

However... Roy could not explain his source of information. Leaking plots was not something that could be done at any time. Moreover, the matter of War being framed was full of all sorts of suspicious points. Not only did it involve the Charred Council, but it might also involve the schemes and arrangements of demon kings like Samael or Lilith, so he could not touch it easily. Roy would be in trouble if he did not handle it well.

However, while chatting with Julia, the situation of Samael’s demon king city, the Black Stone Throne, gave Roy inspiration!

The ‘depravation’ power that could devour everything and decay life was very similar to the Void power in the Warcraft world. This made Roy suspect that Void power might be corroding the Darksiders world! Therefore, he simply decided to bring up this topic while facing Fury and applied what he knew about the Void power of the Warcraft world to this ‘depravation’ power...

“True titans come from the souls of planets! And these so-called world-souls are the life consciousnesses of the planets. When these nascent world-souls awaken, they become titans!” Roy sat on the ground and faced Fury. “It is said that the Pantheon was built by the first awakened titan, Aman’thul. After waking up, he traveled through countless worlds to search for planets with world-souls and then awaken his people. These naturally benevolent beings were born in harmony with order and stability, and they have innate affinity with the magic powers hidden in the universe. They are fully aware that their power is too great, so they abide by the creed of gentleness when facing all the civilizations they encounter.”

“Is that so? Turns out there are existences outside of this world like the Charred Council that uphold the will of the Creator and maintain the balance of the universe!” Fury sat down, sitting cross-legged opposite Roy, listening to his story.

Roy smiled at her words. “Don’t worry. I’m not done yet. In the Pantheon, there is a great titan named Sargeras. He is the strongest warrior of the Pantheon, the defender of the Pantheon, and the noblest of the gods. He has an unparalleled and magnificent body that is the size of a planet, and he has unwavering faith, noble qualities, and strength and courage that no other can match! Entrusted by the Pantheon, he went to hunt down demons in the depths of the Twisting Nether and swore to cleanse the universe of all demons.”

“Such a powerful titan is dealing with you demons?” Fury laughed as he pointed at Roy. “It seems like your demon world is about to end!”

“No! When I was summoned to that world, this great titan, Sargeras, had fallen and become the Dark Titan!” Roy crossed his arms and sneered. “On the contrary, Sargeras destroyed the Pantheon created by Aman’thul! He also killed all the titans!”

“Nonsense!” Fury glared, suddenly stood up, and pointed at Roy’s nose. “I can tell that what you said is all nonsense!”

“Hmph! Although I’m a demon, I’m not lying!” Roy retorted. “Otherwise, how do you think I could still come back alive from that world?! Don’t interrupt. Listen to me, and you’ll understand what’s going on!”

“Okay. I’ll listen to your nonsense story and see how far it can go!” Fury sat down again. Roy made up a story here. He said that he had been to the Warcraft world before and described it as though he had experienced it personally. Both Fury and the others knew that demons of the Abyss could go to millions of worlds through the Gates of the Abyss, so despite Fury having some doubts, she accepted this as true.

Moreover, Roy’s tone of storytelling was full of emotions. Now, not only was Fury attracted to his story, but even Vulgrim, who was hiding in the Purgatory Space, and the watcher from the council beside Fury were also attracted.

“When I was summoned from the Abyss to that world, what I entered was not the main material world!” Roy said. “But summoned to a place called the ‘Twisting Nether’, a realm of endless darkness, turbulence, chaos, and distortions. There, apart from the demons of the Abyss, there were also creatures known as ‘Void demons’. They have the same savage appearances as that of the Abyss demons, but they are not creatures of the Abyss but transformed from the erosion of Void power!

“In the Twisting Nether, countless demons formed an incomparably large army. This army is called the ‘Burning Legion’! And the leader of the Burning Legion is the Dark Titan Sargeras!” Roy continued to deceive her without changing expression. “I stayed there for a while and became a member of the Burning Legion. From the mouths of other demons, I heard many rumors, including the origin of the Dark Titan Sargeras!

“Sargeras was originally entrusted by the Pantheon to go deep into the Twisting Nether to eliminate the demons there to prevent them from destroying worlds and interfering with the plans of the titans to awaken world-souls. However, when Sargeras went deep into the Nether, he discovered the truth about the origin of the Twisting Nether in a dark and withered world!

“The Void is the opposite of all things. If the Creator is the creator of all things, then the Void is the destroyer of all things. This power is the enemy of the Creator!” Roy said solemnly. “A group of terrifying creatures was born in the Void. These Void creatures are the Void Lords. They used the cold Void power to attempt to corrupt any world that housed slumbering world-souls!

“Sargeras realized that once the power of the Void successfully corrupted a nascent titan, it would awaken into an indescribable dark creature. All things of the universe, and even the entire Pantheon, would be powerless to resist it! At that time, the distorted titan would consume all the matter and energy in the universe, causing everything that exists to submit to the will of the Void Lords.

“Sargeras, this invincible champion of the titans, tasted fear for the first time in his life. He suddenly realized that the Void Lords were searching for world-souls like the Pantheon. Moreover, Sargeras had never thought that Void energy could corrode slumbering titans so thoroughly! In his fear and anger, he raised his blade high and cut the world in front of him completely, destroying this world and killing the nascent titan!

“After this battle, he realized that the only way to stop Void power was to destroy the worlds in advance... However, when he returned to the Pantheon to report all of this, his people did not believe him. They had not witnessed the horrors of the Void Lords with their own eyes, and they could not understand the despair in Sargeras’s heart. Instead, they rebuked Sargeras for his reckless action...

“Even though Sargeras tried his best to convince them of the necessity of what he did, he finally realized that it was all in vain. Regarding how to deal with the threat of the Void Lords, the argument between Sargeras and the other members of the Pantheon was exceptionally fierce. What was most worrying for Sargeras was that since Void power could corrupt a world-soul, it might be able to corrupt more, and it was probably too late to stop them.

“Therefore, the deep despair and disappointment crushed Sargeras. He left angrily and parted ways with the Pantheon. He believed that his compatriots would never be able to come to see the truth, and if they had no intention of helping him eliminate the corruption of the Void Lords, then he would do it alone! Sargeras felt that he needed an army that he could control to fight against the Void Lords. He thought of the demons, so he returned to the Twisting Nether and used the massive dark energy and evil energy here to become the Dark Titan. He gathered all the demons and led them to destroy the worlds that had world-souls and might be corrupted by Void power!

“The Dark Titan deeply realized that only by burning everything could he have hope of stopping the Void Lords’ ultimate goal...”

Roy did not elaborate on the matters about Sargeras in detail, only describing them briefly, because these events might have gone through millions of years of history in the Warcraft world. And it was not something that he could explain with just a few words. But even so, after listening to Roy’s story, Fury and Julia could not help but sink into deep thought.

In Fury’s opinion, Roy’s story did not seem to be made up. If he made it up, there would definitely be many loopholes. Moreover, the names such as the Burning Legion, the Pantheon, titans, and world-souls did not sound like they were made up on the spot.

“Is the power of the Void really that terrifying?” Fury frowned and asked. “It’s so terrifying that even such a great titan would feel desperate enough to do the opposite, turning from a protector to a destroyer?”

“I don’t know!” Roy shook his head. “After all, I didn’t stay in that world for long. There were too many powerful forces in that world. At that time, I wasn’t even cannon fodder among the demons, so I was lucky enough to survive and figured out a way to return to the Abyss... I have not come into contact with true Void power, so I can’t answer your question. I only know that there were many planets destroyed and ended in that world! In fact, when I came to this world, I didn’t pay much attention to it. But after coming into contact with Julia, I heard the word ‘depravation’ from her. After hearing her description of it, I realized that the ‘depravation’ she mentioned was actually so similar to Void power...”

Fury raised his head and looked at Julia, who had just recovered from her shock. She quickly nodded and said to Fury, “I can confirm, Horseman, that what Osiris said is true! I told him about the abnormal appearance of Lord Samael’s Black Stone. I don’t know if you’ve been to the Black Stone, but it’s indeed on the verge of collapse! Perhaps this power really is the same power as the ‘Void’...”

Hearing this, Roy could not help but praise Julia in his heart. Her assistance was spot on...
