Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 514: News From Mephisto

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy’s plans and arrangements had already begun to bear fruit, but this was only the beginning. The rift between humans and angels needed more time to expand.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Roy was not anxious at all. He was even prepared to use five to ten years to complete his plan step by step. Anyway, as a demon, he had a long time and life to wait.

Of course, it wouldn’t really take that long. He was implementing other plans to advance the progress step by step.

When he was summoned to this world earlier, he had left a Demon Eye for the high priest of Zakarum. Although these Zakarum cultists belonged to Mephisto, this didn’t prevent Roy from using them.

After contacting the high priest of Zakarum, Roy gave them an order. He wanted them to hide in various cities, mix with ordinary people, wait for an opportunity to sow discord between humans and angels, publicize the attitude of the High Heavens, especially Imperius’s attitude toward humans, and so on.

Regardless of whether they used public opinion or created conflicts, in short, he wanted them to do everything possible to worsen the relationship between humans and angels.

Not only did he want to incite humans to oppose angels, but he also wanted to incite angels to oppose humans. If possible, he could disguise himself as a human and attack some strongholds of the High Heavens in Sanctuary.

In addition, Roy gave a large amount of gold to the Zakarum cultists. This gold was naturally the demon gold that he brought. This demon gold originally had a curse of misfortune, but he had used the system to modify it.

The demon gold’s curse of misfortune was originally used to obtain human souls, but he didn’t need any souls now. If people who came into contact with the gold died of misfortune, it would attract attention over time, and the church might confiscate it, so he changed its misfortune attribute.

Demon Gold (Version 2.0):

Corruption: This gold with dark power will magnify the negative emotions of those who have been in contact with it for a long time.

Hidden: The dark power in the gold is undetectable by any magic.

These negative emotions included greed, anger, envy, and so on. When Roy handed the gold to the Zakarum high priest, he instructed him to circulate it through reasonable channels so that it would spread as much as possible like normal currency in the various human settlements of Sanctuary.

Roy was very clear that the demon bloodline contained in the nephalem bloodline would continuously be stimulated after coming into contact with this gold. Over time, the nephalem would gradually become selfish, irritable, and militant. The good side of their hearts would be covered up, and the evil side would appear.

This way, Imperius, who had no good feelings for the nephalem, would hate the existence of humans more and more. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he brought up the past and started a new proposal to destroy Sanctuary..

The already corrupted Zakarum high priest didn’t have any resistance to Roy’s orders, and he carried them out ecstatically.

Everything was under Roy’s control. If he saw this series of arrangements from a human perspective, he would definitely shudder in fear. But in fact, his original intention was not to target the nephalem. The true target was the High Heavens!

Roy knew the nephalem race very well. Putting aside the Four Horsemen of the

Apocalypse that he had first come into contact with, he still had a foster son, Sareth, who was also a nephalem. He knew very well that these nephalem were not enemies to demons. As long as demons put aside their bloodline prejudices, it could be said that it was easier for demons to accept them than angels!

Angels were the greatest enemies of demons. No matter which world Roy went to, he would guard against angels the most. Now, he was just using the nephalem of this world to achieve his goals…

Time slowly passed, and the chaos in Sanctuary heightened day by day. On this day, Roy was sitting alone in his demon king place and reading a book: The Book of Cain.

The Black Book of Lam Esen, the Book of Zakarum, the Book of Skatsim, the Ancient Sutras of Mages, the Book of the Yshari, and Tale of the Horadrim were all legends and historical books circulating in Sanctuary. Roy copied them into books and read them continuously. His plans and arrangements came from reading these historical books, allowing him to understand the conflicts between the various races of this world in depth.

Just as Roy was reading with relish, the lights in the demon king palace suddenly dimmed.

Shadows climbed in the hall, covering the light of the lamps, and a deep darkness began to spread in the demon king palace.

Facing this strange situation, Roy looked on coldly. He smelled a familiar scent in the spreading darkness, so he snorted coldly. “Mephisto! What are you trying to do by pretending to be mysterious in front of me?”

“Hehehehe!” Hoarse laughter came as a shadow slowly emerged from the floor and then slowly transformed into a huge demon.

This huge demon had two pairs ot exaggerated demon horns on his head, especially the pair that was protruding out. He was floating in the air, and on his skeleton-like arms, his demon claws looked extremely ferocious. The demon wings on his back looked like bone wings, and some black chains were wrapped around his arms and bone wings, making clanking sounds.

The most ridiculous thing was that he didn’t have a lower body. His lower body, which was suspended in the air, was replaced by a mass of fog-like darkness. From his abdomen, Roy could see his spine hanging straight down, connected to the bone whip-like demon tail. His overall appearance was no different from a skeleton.

“Osiris, we meet again!” After Mephisto appeared, a sinister grin appeared on his face, and his hoarse voice made people want to go crazy.

Roy closed the book and snorted. “What? Finally not planning to hide? I thought you were going to continue watching the show!”

“Of course not. We’re allies!” Mephisto floated in front of Roy’s throne. “Moreover, your actions were beyond my expectations, even more powerful than I expected! Of course, I came to meet you.”

“Hmph. Allies?” Roy walked down from the throne, stood opposite Mephisto, and looked straight at him. “Since you’re allies, why did you lie to me? The Black Soulstone has already shattered, and you and your brothers have long escaped. Why did you tell me that you were still trapped when you came to find

“I apologize about this!” Mephisto crossed his arm in front of his chest and bowed slightly to Roy, causing the black chains on his body to make clanking sounds. He straightened up and continued, “But Osiris, with all due respect, does your coming to this world have anything to do with whether we escape or not?”

“That’s true!” Roy nodded. “The reason I came here is none other than for Lilith. The life and death of the seven demon kings have nothing to do with me. Moreover, from the beginning, I had a skeptical attitude toward what you said, so it’s not that important whether you deceived me or not…”

“Haha, you’re really straightforward!” Mephisto laughed.

Roy stared at Mephisto and sized him up. “If I’m not wrong, Mephisto, this is just a projection, right? In that case, is it true that you were reborn in the Hellforge of the Burning Hells?”

“That’s right!” Mephisto nodded. “The Hellforge is an incomparably powerful magic creation that has the same effect as the Gates of the Abyss. It can bind the souls of demons within. Once a demon dies, their souls will first return to the Hellforge, not the Abyss… After the Black Soulstone was destroyed, my brothers and I returned to the Hellforge. But soul condensation and rebirth are a slow process. We haven’t fully recovered yet and are still in a deep sleep.” “Then, what do you want to say to me now?” Roy asked.

“When the high priest of Zakarum offered sacrifices to me, he mentioned your plan. He doesn’t know much about your thoughts, but he can tell that you’re targeting the High Heavens and have already achieved great results… We are allies, so it’s naturally impossible for us to do nothing. I’m here to tell you that my brothers and I have already gathered an astonishing demon army for you in the Burning Hells. When you need it, you can open a portal to summon them at any time. They will completely obey your orders.”

“Oh, that’s not bad!” Roy nodded. “What else? If it’s just an army, it’s not worth you coming all the way here.”

“There are two more things!” Mephisto stretched out his hand to touch his demon horns. “The first is that if you plan on completely defeating the High Heavens, then there’s something you need to be careful about. When Heaven really collapses, it might lead to the appearance of the Guardian Trag’Oul!”

“Trag’Oul?” Roy frowned in puzzlement. “I seem to have heard this name somewhere…

“It should be the Book of Rathma!” Mephisto reminded. “The religious canon of the necromancers!”

Roy nodded. Yes, he remembered.

“Trag’Oul, the Guardian of Sanctuary, is described in the Book of Rathma as a dragon, a giant dragon made of stars!” Mephisto said. “He appeared when Sanctuary was created. Even Inarius and Lilith, who created Sanctuary, didn’t know of his existence back then. We didn’t know at first either. It was only after the appearance of the necromancers that we discovered this guardian. He rarely appeared in front of the world. He was never interested in the war between angels and demons and was only dedicated to protecting the balance of Sanctuary. This balance might be broken when you defeat the High Heavens. At that time, he might intervene!”

“Is Trag’Oul powerful?” Roy asked.

Mephisto nodded and said cautiously, “Very powerful. Because after my research, I found that he is very likely not a true dragon but a world-soul titan!”

Hearing this, Roy was shocked.. “Huh?! What? World-soul titan?!”
