Chapter 333 Steles and Fire Seeds

The Purgatory Space Roy opened was actually Kha-Beleth’s personal treasury.

This personal treasury actually had encryption. Only through a unique frequency of magic power fluctuations could he find its spatial anchor point. Although it was a personal treasury, Kha-Beleth had not opened this personal space for a long time.

It could not be helped. Kha-Beleth had been trapped in Sheogh for nearly a thousand years, and the barrier set by the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam completely blocked all connections between the demon lords and space. So even though the demon lords had practiced space magic, they could not escape from the barrier at all.

Kha-Beleth had only reopened this storage space after he escaped. But after opening it, he had no time to organize it. He had spent most of his time on the Dark Messiah plan. He had not used it for a long time, so his memories of what was in this storage space were already a bit blurry. When Roy saw the two Demon Bible stone steles, he could not help but be shocked because he did not find any memories of these two steles in Kha-Beleth’s memories.

Roy crouched down and carefully examined the two steles. Although he could not tell what material these two steles were made of, the hardness of the steles was obvious. Roy’s nails were so sharp that sparks flew from the friction when he scratched them, but he could not leave any marks on them.

Roy was certain that these two steles were absolutely real!

In the past, Roy had also obtained a copy of the Demon Bible, but he had received it from Goddess Calypso in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, and it was just a rubbing. He had never seen the original text of the stele. Now that two genuine pieces were in front of him, he naturally had to study them.

The writing on the steles was naturally demon writing. He did not know what method had been used to engrave this demon writing, but after so many years, the words were still as good as new. The strange crooked characters had no pattern, but the information contained in them directly reached the depths of the soul, making Roy understand the meaning of the writing.

These two steles were the third and fourth chapters of the Demon Bible. Just like the rubbing of the sixth chapter that Roy had obtained before, they recorded some of the initial events of the Abyss. These records were similar to the descriptions of the Genesis creation myth mentioned in the human Bible: What happened on the first day, what happened on the second day, and finally, after seven days, creation was complete.

But in the human Bible, God said, ‘Let there be light’! However, in the Demon Bible, the Creator said, ‘Let there be darkness and flames. Let there be an endlessly extending layered world!

Without a doubt, this description was definitely referring to the situation in the Abyss. What the Demon Bible recorded should be the scene of the birth of the Abyss and the origin of demons. In particular, when Roy took out Frostmourne and carefully read the demon characters he engraved on his sword, he found some special terms: Necessary Evil, Sin and Punishment…

uses

This meant that when the Creator created the Abyss, he had already considered certain… uses that this world had to undertake! Roy had already vaguely guessed that if nothing unexpected happened, then the seventh chapter of the Demon Bible might be the birth of demons…

Of course, this record looked like it was left by later generations, and it was not possible that the Creator had personally engraved it on the steles. The most likely ones were probably the so-called Deadly Sin Demon Kings.

Not only Araniya’s memories, but even Kha-Beleth’s memories were the same. When Roy began to dig deeper into Kha-Beleth’s memories, he found that there was no concept of the Creator in his memories at all. On the contrary, Kha-Beleth worshipped the Deadly Sin Demon Kings and believed that they were the ancestors of all demons!

This was especially so after Kha-Beleth discovered that he had the extremely thin bloodline of Asmodeus in his body.

In the legends of the human world, Asmodeus was one of the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings and the incarnation of lust. In the Abyss, demons generally believed that the purple demon moon was the product of the manifestation of his power. His power affected the reproduction of all demons, making him an extremely great existence.

Of course, no one had ever seen the Deadly Sin Demon Kings until now. Most demons had only seen the demon kings scattered across various worlds. They firmly believed that these demon kings were the clones of the Deadly Sin Demon Kings. These clones promoted the glory of the demons in the Infinite Worlds and fulfilled their destiny of destroying worlds.

Not to mention ordinary demons, even demon kings themselves thought so. Roy had seen Demon King Samael in the Darksiders world, and he also thought that he was one of the incarnations of the Deadly Sin Demon King. Perhaps one day, when the demon kings eliminated the demons’ natural enemy and their clones merged again, the Deadly Sin Demon Kings would return to the Abyss!

At that time, it would be the end of the Infinite Worlds…

This thought was one that Roy had read from Kha-Beleth’s memories, and it seemed to be widespread among the upper-level demons throughout the Abyss.

But for some reason, when Roy read these thoughts, he was not affected by them. Instead, he thought of a question. Since all the demon kings in the Infinite Worlds are clones of the Deadly Sin Demon Kings, which one is the true main body?!

Even if they want to fuse, there should be a distinction between primary and secondary…

Due to his doubts, Roy did not believe this explanation. But he also realized that compared to the illusory Creator that they had never seen before, demons were more willing to believe, or rather, have faith in the Deadly Sin Demon Kings. Moreover, they had always been fighting to destroy worlds as their lifelong goal.

This was the corporate culture of the Abyss and demons! It was really nothing short of amazing…

Roy had no idea where Kha-Beleth had obtained these two Demon Bible steles because he had forgotten them! After he threw these two steles into his storage space, he had not paid much attention to them. The reason why he had put them here was probably because of the strange power on them. Yes, just like the expulsion incantation that Roy obtained from the rubbing of the sixth chapter before, the demon writing on these two steles formed a similar power. But this power was not too rare because they were all a power that could… trigger world power!

Kha-Beleth had tested this power before and found that it was not of much use, so he gradually forgot about the steles.

However, Roy felt that if the seven steles were all powers that could trigger world power, then there might be some special connection, so he thought about it and searched Kha-Beleth’s storage space. He found some paper, made rubbings of the two steles, and attempted to put the steles into his system space. But then he found that he could not put in the steles at all, but the rubbing could go in… Roy did not understand what was going on. Perhaps it had something to do with the material of the steles, but he did not think too much about it. He first put the rubbings into the system space to analyze. Something strange happened. After the analysis of the system space, Roy found that it displayed both rubbings as ‘Expulsion Incantation’. Its function was to trigger world power, interfere with the formation of cross-world portals, and forcibly expel non-world beings!

This test result surprised Roy. He had indeed felt that the power on these two stone steles was similar to the power on Frostmourne, but he did not expect the effect to be the same. But Roy suddenly realized that the system had modified the expulsion incantation he engraved on Frostmourne so that it only targeted targets damaged by the sword. Thus, it was normal for it to be different from the original.

Was there a problem? Of course, there was a problem! And the problem was big!

The writing on the three different Demon Bible chapters was clearly different, but why were the power and ability contained in them the same?!

Other demons might have never obtained the Demon Bible and did not understand its content. Even if they did get it, they might not think too much about it. But Roy was thinking about what it meant to have the same effect. Is this power left behind by the person who engraved the Demon Bible? Or does it mean that the steles that record the Demon Bible have this power, and then this power is copied onto rubbings?

Roy thought for a long time but did not have any clue. He felt that there might be some special secrets in this, but he might need to gather all seven steles to be able to analyze them…

Considering that Julia would come to find him later, Roy did not continue to think too much about the steles. Anyway, the steles were already in his hands, and he had time to slowly analyze them in the future.

Roy looked at the other piles.

The Purgatory Space opened by Kha-Beleth was very big, but there were not many things in it. Roy looked around and found that most of them were artifacts. These were things that Kha-Beleth had collected after years of battles in the Ashan world.

Since they were called artifacts, these things definitely had special effects. But in Roy’s opinion, these so-called artifacts were actually just some magic items.

Demons were not good at alchemy, and the weapons and defensive equipment they made would only carry out some crude enchantments. Therefore, these magic items made by humans, elves, and dwarfs were still quite attractive to demons. It was no wonder that Kha-Beleth would collect them. Unfortunately, the storage space he opened was not like the ones in novels, where things would always remain the same after putting them in. Time continued to flow in this space. After a thousand years, most of these magic items had exhausted their magic power, and the originally flowing light on them was already dim, even decayed, completely becoming a pile of scraps.

Not every item could last forever, like the steles of the Demon Bible…

Roy rummaged through these things in an attempt to find something useful. Finally, he found two strange small boxes. These two small boxes were the only things with some magic power fluctuations, but the magic power fluctuations were extremely weak. It seemed that the items stored inside had nearly exhausted their magic power, so Roy carefully opened them after taking them. Then he discovered that the two boxes contained two… fire seeds!

One of the fire seeds gave Roy a familiar feeling. It was the feeling that the destruction flames of Kha-Beleth gave him. Combined with the experience of obtaining the hellfire fire seed, Roy could immediately tell that this was likely the fire seed of destruction flames!

With a fire seed, it meant that it could transform the flame power used by demons. Although Roy was a frost demon, Julia and Fat Tiger could use flames. If they could transform their flame power into violent destruction flames, it would be quite useful.

Since one fire seed was destruction flames, then the other fire seed should also be some kind of special flames. But Roy could not recognize it, so he could only take it out and plan to get Julia and the others recognize it…
