Although Roy had decided to wait, he did not expect that he had waited for three whole years!
Yeah, three years! Although Roy knows that Fury may have gone to an alternate space with a different time flow from the main world, this long wait still drives Roy a little crazy.
In his words, if he could have offspring with Julia, then his son could use magic within these three years…
But what makes Roy speechless is that Julia feels nothing about this three-year journey. Roy felt it was a long time ago, but Julia felt it was just a blink of an eye. Whenever Roy talked about time, he would look at Roy in surprise and say, “It's only been three years. It's only natural that Fury doesn't come back in such a short time
time!”
“...” Roy is speechless every time this happens.
Of course, he knows that three years is indeed very short for a long-lived race, and it may take hundreds of years to make them feel that time is long.
Some demons can sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years until they are awakened by someone who has no eyes. The legendary stories in the human world were all written in this way. In a sense, this description is not exaggerated.
After understanding this, Roy no longer worried about it.
During these three years, Roy has never been unemployed. He takes Julia in search of a residence, a relatively intact human building, and then enslaves a group of low-level demons nearby to collect souls for them.
Even though humans in this main world were almost extinct now, it did not mean that no souls were produced. After human-launched nuclear weapons exploded in different parts of the world, the effects of the nuclear winter they caused slowly weakened over time, resulting in some animals and plants slowly waking up. Ironically, without the existence of humans, their greatest natural enemy, other creatures on the planet are breeding better!
Although the number of demons entering this world was large, it could not compare to the original human population on the planet. After billions of humans were nearly extinct, their demand for food in this world instantly hit rock bottom. Without the influence of human activity, the pressure of survival on animals and plants is reduced.
Over the past three years, Roy has watched with his own eyes this world go from near-extinction to flourishing once again. But the creatures that survived the nuclear winter experienced few mutations and few evolutions. Their bodies had become bigger and weirder, but even so, they were still creatures of this world. After a short adaptation period, new food chains begin to form.
If Roy was a poet or artist, he might have been moved by nature's self-regulatory abilities, but unfortunately, he wasn't. Although he was very surprised, he felt it was a matter of course.
When he became a human in his previous life, Roy did not feel it too much, but when he became a demon and saw humans from another perspective, Roy did not know how to evaluate them. Humans are great! They can use thousands of years to transform nature step-by-step, eventually becoming the ruler of the food chain, and create fascinating history and culture. But at the same time, humans are too never satisfied. Like cancer cells, they continue to multiply and damage the balance of nature.
It's not that Roy's not on the side of humans. In fact, even humans knew that if this continued, they would destroy themselves even without End War.
They seemed to have realized this as well. It is precisely because of this prudence that there are all kinds of cataclysmic disasters in human films and novels. But because these novels and movies were made by humans, almost all ended up making humans finally win and survive…
But in this world, it was neither a novel nor a movie. The appearance of angels and demons directly defeated humans with a single blow. The resistance they envisioned and the eventual victory had yet to emerge. Without the presence of humans, the animals and plants on the planet became active again. Plants were still nothing special, but mutated animals were now the best choice for the demons to hunt souls. It seemed that due to the mutation caused by the radiation, the spirit of this once weak animal became much stronger. Although they were still inferior to the human soul, they were better than nothing to the demons.
Not only that, some animals had devoured the corpses of angels and dead demons on the battlefield. As everyone knows, demonic blood can infect other life forms. Similarly, angelic blood has a similar effect. So when these animals ate the flesh and blood of demons and angels, new changes appeared. As time passed, demonic creatures that resembled those in the Abyss and some light-based creatures that could use the power of weak holy light gradually began to appear in this world.
In just three years, the planet became completely unrecognizable. If a newcomer who entered this world saw these strange creatures and places that became strange due to radiation contamination, they would definitely not have thought that this was Earth…
Roy and Julia occupy a territory and order a low-level demon to hunt these mutated creatures every day. After the low-level demons brought back their souls, Roy set aside a portion of them for these low-level demons as a reward and used the rest to cultivate magic power. After becoming a high-level demon, Roy discovers that the efficiency of increasing his magic power using ordinary souls to create Magic Energy Growth Potions has been substantially reduced. After condensing his magic power, it now became extremely difficult to upgrade.
Fortunately, Julia was by his side. Under his reminder, Roy changed the method of making the Magic Energy Growth Potion.
He first transmuted the spirit beasts he had gathered with Horadric Cube, obtained a fallen soul and a noble soul, and then used these two types of high-quality souls to create the Magic Energy Growth Potion!
Roy uses these two types of high-quality souls to create skills in the system, and according to him these two types of souls can only be used to create skills, but with Julia's reminder, Roy realized that his thinking was wrong.
Julia said that high-level demons preferred to devour high-quality souls. This reminded Roy that regardless of whether they were ordinary souls, high-quality souls, holy souls, or evil souls, to demons, they could devour all souls!
In other words, there was no difference in soul essence. But in the system, the utilization of a more qualified soul was different.
Ordinary souls can be used in the system to create various items and increase Roy's magic power. Although high-quality souls cannot be used to create items, they can create skills and increase magic power. As for holy souls and evil souls, they cannot be used to create items and skills, but they can create life and also increase magic power.
But Roy had tried to devour the angel soul, and the improvement was negligible, and it was also extremely disgusting. This was because the positive emotional power in the saint soul had condensed to the highest level, and it was of the least benefit to the demons.
In other words, according to theoretical calculations, the growth effect of magic power contained in the soul should be as follows: evil soul> fallen soul> noble soul> ordinary soul> holy soul!
For angels, this sequence may be reversed …
Evil souls can only be obtained by killing high-level demons upwards. For Roy, this is a very difficult path because the higher the level, the fewer the numbers. Moreover, in general, after becoming a high-level demon, killing each other would become rare, so it was extremely difficult to increase magic power by gathering a large number of evil souls.
Of course, Roy could also think of a way to modify the Horadric Cube so that it could change the evil soul, but he estimated that this kind of transmutation required a lot of ordinary souls.
Now, the most efficient way for Roy to increase his magic power was to use the fallen souls to create the Magic Energy Growth Potion!
Therefore, after accumulating a soul for a period of time, the, Roy changed the definition of the Magic Energy Growth Potion so that he could use the fallen soul transformed from the Horadrik Cube to create the Magic Energy Growth Potion.
Originally, Horadric Cube used 198 standard ordinary souls to create one fallen soul and one noble soul, which was equivalent to combining 99 standard souls into a high-quality soul. However, the animal spirits of the mutated creatures were not as good as standard human souls, so after testing, it took about 140 mutated animal spirits to transform a high-quality soul.
Roy stored the souls of nobles who had been altered to create skills in the future or perhaps to create the Magic Energy Growth Potion, and he used all of the fallen souls to synthesize the Magic Energy Growth Potion.
The results of the experiment were satisfactory. If Roy were to devour the fallen soul directly, his magic power would increase by about 0.6, but the resulting Magic Energy Growth Potion could increase this value to around 0. 8. The Magic Energy Growth Potion produced using 99 standard human souls could only increase its magic power by about 0. 5. The difference in efficiency is 0. 3!
Roy's current magic power value is five thousand. If he wanted to double his magic power to ten thousand, it meant that he needed over six thousand fallen souls. When converted, there were about six hundred thousand ordinary souls.
And this was under the influence of the use of the Magic Energy Growth Potion. If he were to devour and digest like any other demon, it would require at least a million ordinary souls. That was because gathering so many souls was absolutely impossible without sufficient time …
Therefore, Roy is looking forward to the millions of lives that Fury has promised. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now he suddenly realized just how large a number of souls Fury could take. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a golden thigh
