Chapter 622: Finally Came |
Roy had fallen into the Void once, so he knew very well that time still existed in the Void. There might not even be space in the Void, but there definitely was time.
Therefore, he was certain that he could Voidize in this dimension of time.
Once Roy became a Void creature, the power emanating from him would corrode all the matter around him. This was due to the characteristics of Void power. Although Murozond had the home ground advantage in this dimension of time, he was still a part of the material world. Any attack he made against Roy would cause him to suffer corrosion from the Void power.
Roy might not be able to affect the dimension of time directly, but he could indirectly affect it by changing Murozond. As long as Murozond was corroded by the Void and couldn’t stably use his time power, this dimension of time might be unable to continue existing.
This was one of the methods Roy had thought of that had a high chance of breaking this situation. If there was really no other way, then he could only use the souls he had just obtained to create an ability to control time for himself.
Roy was actually unwilling to use the one hundred trillion souls he had just obtained because he knew very well that there had to be a reason for the number of souls he had requested. If he used them now, it might take a lot of time and effort to make up for it later.
As the Void power continued to grow and spread, Roy’s body became gigantic. Now, height was meaningless because the Void mist was constantly spreading, and his current size should be calculated according to area.
A conservative estimate was that Roy had already spread to the size of Northrend.
Facing this situation, Murozond was a little confused. Not only because his opponent suddenly became boundlessly big but also because of the ominous power coming from his opponent. His intuition kept warning him crazily that it was dangerous, very dangerous, very, very dangerous.
But if he didn’t attack, Roy wouldn’t be polite to him. Auriel, who had been lying on his shoulder, had also become incomparably large. The wings of despair behind her spread out to cover a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. With a casual wave, countless Void beams of light shot out. The coverage was so wide that Murozond could only stop time for hundreds of seconds to escape the range of the attack.
Even though Murozond wasn’t struck, in his perception, something had disappeared in this dimension of time, disappearing under the attacks of the Void beams.
But before he could figure out what had disappeared, Roy and Auriel had already started an indiscriminate bombardment.
As soon as Auriel launched her Void beam bombardment, Roy spread his hands, and an energy ball condensed from pure Void energy immediately appeared in front of him. He exerted his strength to make the Void power in this energy ball stir crazily before suddenly detonating it.
As a result, a Void storm that swept more than a million kilometers formed. With Roy as the center, Void energy spiraled out. Even though there was not much in this dimension of time to destroy, this raging Void storm covered the entire battlefield.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid this Void Storm, Murozond could only grit his teeth and reverse his time to hide before the Void Storm erupted. But this operation was more difficult than any time he had ever performed time reversal before. In just one move, he had consumed most of his physical strength and magic power.
At this moment, Murozond realized that something was amiss…
Although the titans had bestowed Nozdormu with the power of time, this didn’t mean that he didn’t need to pay a price to use the power of time. Any act of traveling through the timeline and manipulating the time flow was not without cost, and Murozond, the corrupted version, naturally inherited this characteristic.
The existence of this dimension of time was a fragment that Murozond had intercepted from the River of Time. Its existence relied on him. According to his plan, no matter what magic Demon King Osiris used to fight him or how much magic power he had, it was actually beneficial to him because the magic of the material world produced in the dimension of time was a phenomenon of entropy increase. Because time often flowed forward, the increase in entropy would produce a positive effect on the dimension of time, which would help him consolidate the dimension of time. This was why he had dared to say that he could fight Roy here for more than a million years.
But what Murozond never expected was that Roy would use Void power to wreak havoc in this dimension. As mentioned earlier, the Void was the opposite of all matter, and the opposite corresponded to a reduction in entropy. This was equivalent to pushing time in reverse every time Void power was used. As a result, Murozond would have to pay a greater price to maintain the stability of the dimension.
In other words, if Roy continued to use Void power to wreak havoc, Murozond would probably be squeezed dry first…
How should it be put? It was a kind of accident. In fact, Roy hadn’t thought too much about it. He had not studied much about time. Anyway, he was only trying to break the situation and did whatever he could. This was the first time in recent years that he had fought with all his strength and showed his true power as a demon king.
The last time was when Roy had just obtained his divine spark and fought Jubileus in the Devil May Cry and Bayonetta world. But compared to then, his strength had increased dozens of times…
In the Burning Legion, although Roy, Archimonde, and Kil’jaeden were in the same position as the three commanders, the other two both knew that Roy’s strength far exceeded theirs because Sargeras had once evaluated that Roy was the demon closest to his strength…
Roy might still need a long time to go further from the demon king level to the Deadly Sin level. But in this dimension of time, the power he displayed exceeded Murozond’s imagination. The bombardment of Void power was still continuing, but Murozond had already fallen into a terrible fix. He didn’t dare to touch the Void power that erupted from Roy, afraid of contamination. Even if he did, he would quickly reverse his time to eliminate the impact. But this way, the load on him became heavier and heavier.
This won’t work. I have no chance of winning if this continues. I can only give up for now! After Murozond had this thought, this thought became stronger and stronger. Especially when he saw that Roy’s magic power had been exhausted, but he had gotten a crystal bottle from somewhere. After drinking the liquid in the bottle, he immediately became fierce again, making Murozond feel even more despair.
Roy hadn’t used a magic power replenishment potion for a long time, but maintaining his powerful attacks that could easily destroy most planets naturally consumed a lot of his energy. So he had no choice but to take it out of the system space. But little did he know that this act of drinking the potion became the last straw that broke Murozond’s mind.
Murozond planned to retreat, but he had planned this ambush while Roy was in Karazhan for a long time. He was a little unwilling to fail just like that. So when he was retreating, he steeled his heart and directly shattered this time dimension.
How to shatter a time dimension? It was very simple. Let the time flow flowing forward collide crazily with the time flow flowing backward!
And what was the consequence of the collapse of the time dimension?
A time flux!
The collapse of the time dimension was silent, but accompanied by incomparably pure white light, the world suddenly turned blazing white. This sudden change from a pure black environment to a pure white environment made Roy pause. In this extreme white light, he subconsciously reached out to cover his eyes, and all the eyes on Auriel’s wings of despair closed together.
At the same time, Roy heard Murozond’s hysterical and crazy roar. “Fall into the vortex of time! You will forever be lost in a time flux!”
Murozond’s figure disappeared. But in this blazing whiteness, Roy found that the surrounding light was distorting significantly, and an enormous vortex seemed to be forming. His mind raced, and in this moment of desperation, he took out the feather that Lilith had given him and held it tightly in his hand.
He didn’t know if this feather could protect him, but this was the only thing he could think of to rely on right now…
The light was distorting, and Roy’s body was also distorting. He felt an immense force attracting his colossal body and pulling him toward the center of the blazing whiteness. This strange scene exceeded his understanding, but he didn’t panic at all.
As expected… Roy heaved a sigh of relief. So, is this how I was sent to the past?
Yes, from the beginning, Roy realized that he would go to the past because of a certain incident. At first, he thought that it would be because of Nozdormu. But when the actual event happened, he didn’t expect it to be because of Murozond.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him. “If you fall in like this, even I won’t be able to save you…”
Roy turned his head and found three figures not far behind him. Compared to the distorted scenery around him, one of the figures was very stable, so he recognized at a glance that it was Nozdormu in the form of an elf!
Nozdormu’s appearance surprised Roy, but what surprised him even more was the other figures beside him. They were Julia and Benia! Nozdormu’s hands were on their shoulders, and Julia and Benia were also distorting. The two of them were looking at the strange scene around them in surprise.
Roy instantly became furious and glared at Nozdormu. “Do you want me to kill you now?!”
“Don’t misunderstand! Demon King Osiris…” Nozdormu said calmly. “I brought them here because they exist in history. In other words, they also need to be involved in the time flux with you in order to complete the historical line…”
After hearing what Nozdormu said, Julia and Benia broke free from him and wanted to fly toward Roy. But no matter how they flapped their wings, they could only stay in place and couldn’t fly over at all.
Roy knew that this was due to a time distortion, so he comforted them with his eyes and then looked at Nozdormu.
“I only intervened at the moment the time flux occurred, so we don’t have much time!” Nozdormu said. “If you fall into the time vortex like this, in all likelihood, you’ll be sent to the birth of this universe, and you will never be able to return!”
“So, you’re here to help me?” Roy wasn’t surprised.
“I will try my best to correct the time flux so that you won’t fall too far,” Nozdormu said. “But I can’t say where you’ll fall. This is the limit of what I can do on Azeroth. As for the rest, it’s up to you…”
With that, an equally powerful light erupted from Nozdormu’s body, and this light merged into the distorted scenery around him. The next moment, Roy felt that the suction seemed to have slowed down a lot.
But this didn’t stop Roy from being pulled toward the center of the time vortex. His body was already distorted and blurry. The moment he was pulled away, he only had time to shout to Julia and Benia, “Argus!!”
Then the three figures spun and finally turned into a point before completely disappearing…
