Although he decided to wait, what Roy didn't expect was that he had to wait for three years!
Yes, that’s three years! Even though Roy knew that Fury might be going to a different space where the flow of time was completely different from that of the main world, such a long wait still made Roy a little crazy.
In his words, if he and Julie can have offspring, then his children will be able to use magic in the next three years...
However, what left Roy speechless the most was that Julie had no feeling at all about the passage of these three years. Roy felt that it was a long time, but Julie felt that it was just a blink of an eye. Every time When Roy and he talked about time, she always looked at Roy with a very surprised look and said: "It's only been three years. It's normal for Fury not to come back in such a short period of time!"
"..." At this time, Roy felt speechless.
Of course, he also knew that for immortal species, three years was indeed a short period of time. To make them feel that time was long, it must be measured in units of hundreds of years.
Some demons can sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years, until they are awakened by someone without eyes. This is how the legendary stories in the human world are written. In a sense, this kind of description The method is really not an exaggeration.
Now that he understood this, Roy didn't have any worries.
In the past three years, Roy has not been idle. He took Julie to find a place to stay, found a relatively intact human building as a residence, and then enslaved a group of low-level demons nearby. Collect souls for them.
Although humans in this main world are almost extinct now, this does not mean that there are no souls. After the nuclear weapons launched by humans have exploded in various places around the world, the nuclear winter effect caused by them is slowly decreasing over time. It is slowly weakening, so some animals and plants are slowly waking up. Ironically, without the existence of humans, the biggest natural enemy, other creatures on this planet are thriving better!
Even if the number of demons entering this world is huge, no matter how huge it is, it cannot compare to the original human population base on this planet. When billions of humans were almost extinct, their demand and demand for food from this world instantly reached its lowest point. , without the impact of human activities, the pressure on animals and plants to survive suddenly eased.
In the past three years, Roy has almost witnessed the world go from being dead at the beginning to becoming vibrant again, but those creatures that survived the nuclear winter have more or less mutated. With evolution, their size has become larger and their appearance has become weirder, but even so, they are still creatures of this world. After a short adaptation period, a new food chain is forming.
If Roy were a poet or artist, he might be moved to tears by nature's ability to regulate itself, but unfortunately, he was not. Although he was also very shocked, he took it for granted.
When he was a human in his previous life, Roy himself didn't feel anything. But now that he has become a demon and looks at humans from another angle, Roy doesn't know how to evaluate this creature. How do you describe this creature? , great! They can spend thousands of years transforming nature step by step, eventually becoming the overlord of the food chain, and creating a splendid history and culture. But at the same time, humans are so demanding, they are like cancer cells, The population continues to multiply, constantly destroying the balance of nature.
It's not that Roy doesn't side with humans. In fact, even humans themselves know that if they continue like this, they will destroy themselves. There is no need for a doomsday battle.
They seem to be aware of this. It is precisely because of this vigilance that all kinds of terrible disasters always appear in various human movies and novels, just because these novels and movies themselves are made up by humans. , so in the final outcome, almost all humans win and survive...
However, the current world is not like novels and movies. The appearance of angels and demons has completely defeated mankind. The resistance and final victory they imagined did not appear...
Without the presence of humans, the animals and plants on this planet have become active again. The plants are nothing, but those mutated animals have now become the best choice for demons to hunt souls. It seems that it is because of radiation mutation. The animals' originally weak animal spirits have grown a lot. Although they are still not as good as human souls, they are better than nothing to the demons.
However, due to mutation, these animals, plants and insects have shown more powerful fighting power than before. Even when facing some lower-level demons, the lower-level demons will in turn become their hunting targets.
Not only that, but some animals also devoured the corpses of angels and demons who died in battle. As we all know, demon blood can infect other creatures. Likewise, angel blood has similar effects. Therefore, when these animals ate the flesh and blood of demons and angels, new changes appeared. As time went by, demonized creatures similar to the abyss world gradually began to appear in this world, as well as some that could Actinic creatures that use the power of weak holy light.
In just three years, this planet has become unrecognizable. If a person is new to this world and looks at these weird species and the strange landforms that have been contaminated by radiation, I am afraid that they will never think that this place is... It’s the earth…
Roy and Julie occupied a territory and ordered the low-level demons to go out to hunt these mutated creatures every day. After the low-level demons brought their souls back, in addition to setting aside part of the reward for these low-level demons, the rest All the rest was used to cultivate magic power.
After becoming a high-level demon, Roy discovered that using ordinary souls to create essence magic potions, the efficiency of the magic power brought by it was greatly reduced. It has now become very difficult to grow the concentrated magic power.
Fortunately, Julie was by his side. Under her reminder, Roy changed the way of making magic potions.
He first synthesized these collected animal spirits with Horadric cubes. After obtaining "fallen souls" and "noble souls", he then used these two high-quality souls to create magic potions!
Originally, in the system, these two high-quality souls were used to create skills. Roy initially thought that these two kinds of souls could only be used to create skills, but after Julie's reminder, Roy discovered that , my original idea was actually wrong.
Julie said that high-level demons prefer to devour high-quality souls. This sentence reminded Roy that in fact, whether it is an ordinary soul, a high-quality soul, or a sacred soul or an evil soul, For demons, all souls can be devoured!
In other words, there is no difference in the essence of the soul, but the utilization rate of higher-quality souls in the system is different.
Ordinary souls can be used to make various items in the system and provide Roy with increased magic power. High-quality souls, although they cannot be used to make items, can create skills and provide increased magic power. As for sacred souls, they can be used to make various items. and evil spirits, which cannot be used to create item skills, but can create life while still providing magic growth.
It's just that Roy tried to devour angel souls. The growth effect was negligible, and it was also very unpalatable. This is because the power of positive emotions in the sacred soul is condensed to the highest level, and it brings the least benefit to the devil. of.
In other words, according to theoretical calculations, for demons, the order of the magic growth effect contained in the soul should be as follows: evil soul>fallen soul>noble soul>ordinary soul>holy soul!
For angels, this order may be reversed...
Evil souls can only be obtained by killing high-level demons and above. For Roy, this is a difficult way to obtain, because the higher the level of demons, the smaller the number, and generally Generally speaking, after reaching high-level demons, there will be very few killings among each other, so it is difficult to increase magic power by collecting a large number of evil souls.
Of course, Roy can actually find a way to modify the Horadric Cube so that it can synthesize evil souls, but it is estimated that this synthesis will also require a large number of ordinary souls.
Nowadays, for Roy, the most efficient way to increase magic power is to use fallen souls to create magic potions!
Therefore, after accumulating souls for a period of time, Roy made changes to the defining properties of the magic potion so that he could use the fallen soul synthesized from the Horadric Cube to create the magic potion.
Originally, the Horadric Cube used one hundred and ninety-eight standard ordinary souls to create one fallen soul and one noble soul. In total, ninety-nine standard souls combined into one high-quality soul, but the animal spirits of mutated creatures But it is not as good as a standard human soul, so after the final attempt, it took about 140 mutated animal spirits to synthesize a high-quality soul.
The synthesized noble souls could be kept by Roy to create skills in the future, or could be used to create magic potions in the future, while all the fallen souls were used by him to synthesize magic potions.
The results of the experiment are gratifying. If a fallen soul is swallowed directly, it can increase Roy's magic value by about 0.6. However, the magic potion made from the essence can increase this value to about 0.8. When converted to the previous The magic potion made by ninety-nine standard ordinary human souls can only increase by about 0.5. The efficiency gap is 0.3!
Roy's current magic value is 5,000 points. If he wants to double his magic value to 10,000 points, it means that he has to use more than 6,000 fallen souls. When converted, this is about 600,000 ordinary souls. .
This is still the effect of the essence of magic potion. If it were to be digested and digested like other demons, it would require at least one million ordinary souls...
Roy finally understood the reason why it takes a long time for a high-level demon to be promoted to Demon Lord, because collecting so many souls is absolutely impossible without time assistance...
As a result, Roy became more and more looking forward to the one million souls that Fury promised. He didn't think much of it before, but now he suddenly realized what a huge number of souls Fury could offer. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a golden thigh.
