Chapter 653: Conflict Breaks Out

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A hundred million souls was neither too many nor too little for Roy. After all, he had obtained a hundred trillion souls before, so this small amount didn’t seem like much now. But with these souls, he was still better off.

Roy wanted to design a weapon, a super divine artifact. Of course, this number of souls was not enough. The number he set for himself was between one billion to ten billion. The more souls there were, the stronger the weapon he could design.

In fact, if possible, Roy was willing to stay in the Burning Legion for a while. He knew very well that the Legion would be at its most glorious moment after completing the Argus headquarters. The reputation of the Legion would make the entire universe tremble. In the coming days, the Legion’s crusade would burn down tens of thousands of civilized planets. If he could follow the Legion, he would be able to harvest a lot of benefits during this process.

But it was still the same sentence. The s.p.a.cetime flux phenomenon on Julia, Benia, and him had been interfering with them. They couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in this glorious crusade and could only faintly appear at a few important nodes in history.

Looking at it now, it was truly a wise choice to reach an agreement with Sargeras and get him to help Roy collect souls.

Time pa.s.sed little by little. Soon, more than forty years pa.s.sed, and the number of times Roy’s strength increased was about twenty. His combat strength in the system interface had risen to 5.

But this didn’t mean that Roy was weak. On the contrary, it meant that his combat strength was five times greater than before he was sucked into the s.p.a.cetime flux.

The mathematical model he had designed for himself was like this. In the early stages, his growth was actually very slow, but the later it went, the more terrifying the amplification effect was. Perhaps if the next time jump crossed over more time, at the end of the jump, his strength increase would directly break through the minimum limit of 666 times, directly reaching the Deadly Sin level…

During this time, Argus had completely transformed into a terrain and environment suitable for demon survival. Now, the number of all kinds of demons on this planet had exceeded hundreds of billions. This was already more than eighty percent of the Burning Legion’s army in the early stages. So many demons had gathered in the headquarters, waiting for their boss, Sargeras, to complete his work and return.

After waiting for such a long time, the demons were very restless. Their bloodthirst and desire to kill were constantly corroding them, making their tempers become more and more irritable. Demons were fighting each other almost every moment on Argus.

These demons fighting among themselves were basically the ones born in the Twisting Nether. The backbone of the Legion, such as the dreadlords, Abyss lords, or doomguards, although they had friction with others, they still restrained themselves. Similarly, as Sargeras had expected, even though the eredar demons had accepted the power of fel energy, they were not blinded by it. Be it in terms of strength or rationality, they far exceeded the demons of the Twisting Nether.

As the commanders, wheter it was Roy, Archimonde, or Kil’jaeden, they were actually doing their best to suppress the internal strife of the demons. Moreover, their methods were very rough. But despite the suppression, the three of them didn’t take the matter to heart. After all, internal strife was the nature of demons, and it was impossible to stop it completely. They only needed to prevent the Legion from losing too much combat strength because of this.

The low-level cannon fodder demons were easy to deal with, but between the three commanders, it was more complicated.

Although Roy knew his situation and had no intention of competing for power with Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, he was the first commander of the Legion after all, and Sargeras had personally invited him to join. Therefore, even though Roy had always kept a low profile, he still had a considerable number of followers. These followers involved many demon races. In addition to Tichondrius and the dreadlords, many of the Abyss lords were united under Roy because of his Abyss demon ident.i.ty. After he reunited with Julia and Benia, most of the succubi in the Legion also leaned toward him because of Benia’s succubus ident.i.ty.

Therefore, the King of Despair, Osiris, still occupied a considerable force in the Legion.

Archimonde and Kil’jaeden mainly controlled the eredar demons, but they also had a large number of puppet troops created by the eredar demons. They were not inferior to Roy in terms of power.

In fact, without Roy’s appearance and only Archimonde and Kil’jaeden as the commanders, there wouldn’t have been so many matters. But because of his involvement, things became delicate. In any organization, friction would inevitably occur when there were too many factions. These frictions began with the low-level demons at the bottom, and as time pa.s.sed, problems gradually broke out among the middle-level demons.

Archimonde was a boor and had always relied on strength to speak, while Kil’jaeden was cunning. Ever since Kil’jaeden joined Sargeras and obtained powerful strength, he had been rather arrogant. He had always been secretly unconvinced by Roy, the first commander, so he had always indulged in the demons under him. Every time there was a conflict with the demons of Roy’s faction, it was basically the demons under Kil’jaeden provoking them first.

Although Roy didn’t have much intention of fighting for power, he couldn’t ignore being bullied, so he also indulged in his demons and let them fight back.

Of course, Roy and Kil’jaeden wouldn’t talk openly about these kinds of battle between low-level demons. Although the three commanders didn’t have much interaction with each other, they still maintained a harmonious appearance on the surface.

However, Roy and Kil’jaeden both knew that this harmony was temporary. One day, they would fall out and have a confrontation. At that time, the one with the bigger fist would have the right to speak.

However… no one had expected this confrontation to come so quickly…

One day, Roy was in one of the areas of the Burning Throne of Antorus, Hope’s End, listening to intelligence reports from the dreadlords about the recent reconnaissance areas. Ever since he disappeared last time, Sargeras had ordered the dreadlords to search for news about Azeroth. Sargeras had always been very concerned about the news he had obtained from the Pantheon, so information about the world of Azeroth had been the focus of the Legion’s intelligence work for many years. But the universe was too big, and the Legion hadn’t been able to find Azeroth until now.

Roy knew very well that the reason why it was so difficult to find Azeroth was that the t.i.tans of the Pantheon had hidden it. Azeroth’s world-soul was the most powerful world-soul the Pantheon had ever discovered, and the importance the Pantheon attached to her was indescribable. If not for the high elves of Azeroth courting death and causing the energy of the Well of Eternity to fluctuate in the universe, exposing the location of Azeroth, the Burning Legion might have taken tens of thousands of years to find it.

Roy and the dreadlords were already used to this kind of reporting, so Roy planned to leave after listening to it for a while. But unexpectedly, a destruction demon under Roy came to report that Mistress Julia and Mistress Benia had a fierce conflict with Kil’jaeden’s adjutants!

There were actually many adjutants under Kil’jaeden, but since there was a conflict with Julia and Benia, it naturally referred to the Eredar Twins, Sacrolash and Alythess.

During the time Julia and Benia had lurked on Argus, the eredar sisters they had disguised themselves as had always been compared to Sacrolash and Alythess. In fact, the two sides had never met, and Julia and Benia had never taken it seriously. But what was worth mentioning was that just because they didn’t care didn’t mean that Sacrolash and Alythess didn’t care!

After completing the fel energy ritual, Sacrolash and Alythess had also obtained powerful strength and jumped to the demon lord level. Then Kil’jaeden recognized them and appointed them as his adjutants. Their high-spiritedness was imaginable, and they even happily accepted the t.i.tle of ‘queen’ given by the eredar demons under their command.

In the past, they might not have seen each other because of the distance. But now that Sacrolash and Alythess had become Kil’jaeden’s adjutants, they naturally had to appear in the area of the Burning Throne, so the two sides naturally ran into each other.

Previously, when Sacrolash and Alythess saw Julia and Benia, they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, although Julia and Benia were nominally Roy’s adjutants, the demons who knew them called them mistresses, so Julia and Benia’s status was actually higher than that of Sacrolash and Alythess.

Julia and Benia had never cared about the Eredar Twins, so both sides had always been at peace with each other.

But as time went by, because Roy had always kept a low profile and Kil’jaeden’s connivance, Sacrolash and Alythess gradually became bolder. Of course, they could understand Kil’jaeden’s thoughts, so they spoke sarcastically toward Julia and Benia more and more.

In the beginning, Julia and Benia didn’t lower themselves to the level of the two little demons. They had been demon lords for a long time, so they had a sense of psychological superiority over newly advanced demon lords like Sacrolash and Alythess. But this behavior encouraged Sacrolash and Alythess’s arrogance, and these verbal attacks became more and more excessive.

After Roy inquired about it, he learned that the reason for the conflict was that Sacrolash and Alythess had mocked Julia’s and Benia’s wings.

In fact, Roy’s, Julia’s, and Benia’s demon forms had always been different in the Burning Legion. Especially Julia’s fallen angel black wings, no demon in the entire army currently had such wings. If not for the rich dark power in her body, she might not have been regarded as a demon. It was the same for Benia, a succubus. Although she was a succubus, her demon wings were reverse wings, and her W-shaped wings were the same as Roy’s. This was also very rare among the demons in the Legion.

To put it bluntly, they were not mainstream. Demons had their own aesthetics. For example, many demons believed that the bigger, thicker, and harder demon horns were, the better. After the eredar transformed into demons, they formed their own aesthetics among their own group. For example, male eredar demons liked to show off their long fleshy beards, while female eredar demons liked to show off their tails and wings.

And this time, when Sacrolash and Alythess encountered Julia and Benia, they deliberately and loudly mocked Julia’s and Benia’s wings, calling these strange wings extremely ugly.

Julia and Benia had been enduring these two b.i.t.c.hes for a long time. After hearing what they said, they finally couldn’t bear it and completely exploded.

Julia and Benia rushed forward, held down the Eredar Twins, and beat them up violently!

The battle between the two sides was quite intense. After all, it was a fight between four demon lords. This battle even caused all the buildings within a thousand kilometers of the Burning Throne to collapse.

The final result of this battle was that Julia and Benia stepped on the Eredar Twins and trampled them. How could newly advanced demon lords contend against established demon lords? Although Julia and Benia didn’t kill these two b.i.t.c.hes, they cut off one of their wings and beat the two of them until their noses were broken and their faces were swollen to vent their anger.

Originally, things should have ended here. This was how battles between demons were. The stronger side was in the right. After being taught a lesson once, Sacrolash and Alythess should avoid Julia and Benia from now on. But unexpectedly, after Sacrolash and Alythess returned, they directly complained to Kil’jaeden.

After Kil’jaeden heard this, he flew into a rage and actually sent his doomlord guards to capture Julia and Benia.

How could Julia and Benia agree? Thus, they had an even more serious conflict with the doomlords. This time, they directly killed several members of Kil’jaeden’s guards.

Some of the demons watching the battle were clever. They realized that something was wrong and immediately ran to report to Roy.

Hearing this, Roy understood that Kil’jaeden had instigated the provocation of Sacrolash and Alythess. So without even thinking, he flapped his wings and jumped high into the sky. Then with a sonic boom, he turned into a whistling meteor and rushed toward the scene.

The sound of such an intense flying alarmed many demons on the ground below. When they looked up, they saw the cold and terrifying grin on their Commander Osiris’s face…
