Chapter 495: The Simpler, the More Terrifying

Not to mention nails, even the demon horns on Roy’s head were gone in the mist state.
It was like a middle-aged human man suddenly starting to bald. Even though he said that he did not care, he would still try all the hair growth products in private… It was a pain that he could not understand when he was young…
It was the same for demons. Demon horns were the symbol of male demons. When the demon horns were still around, Roy could not help rubbing them, wishing he could wrap them in syrup. The comfort and sense of security that came from rubbing the demon horns were unparalleled.
But now that he suddenly realized his horns were gone, and there was only an ethereal mist above his head, he was undoubtedly very anxious.
With the change in his mood, the mist on Roy suddenly became restless. The churning mist suddenly made the surrounding air become heavy.
Sparda and the others suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation. They felt that the circulation of magic power in their bodies suddenly became very clogged, and their magic power was almost unable to communicate with the surrounding elements.
It was even more so for Bayonetta and Jeanne. With a cry of surprise, the magic power light rings under their feet disappeared, and they suddenly fell from the sky. If not for Dante’s quick reaction of immediately transforming into his demon form and flapping his wings to fly over to catch the two of them, they would have probably fallen from Heaven back to the human world…
“This is… a forbidden demon domain?” The surprise in Sparda’s heart was about to boil. Of course, he knew that Roy did not mean it, but it was precisely this point that was the most terrifying. The power he was subconsciously emitting because of the changes in his emotions could make it difficult for them to move. What would happen if he deliberately did it?
The exclamations of Bayonetta and Jeanne brought Roy back to his senses. He realized that their current situation was related to him, so he could only calm down and restrain his emotions.
Everyone felt better…
Roy found that he seemed to have obtained some special abilities after transforming into this mist state. But now was not the time to explore these abilities. He could only wait until he returned to the Abyss.
Julia and Benia were extremely excited because although Roy had become very strange, he had really survived the corrosion of the Void. Not only that, but they also noticed that the Void rift was slowly closing, and there was no trace of Void power on him. This meant that he had not only defeated the Void’s corrosion, but he had even expelled the Void power in turn!
This was an incredible thing…
“Darling, have you really become a Chaos Demon?” Julia wanted to hug Roy. But looking at his ethereal and illusory appearance, she did not know how to hug him and could only ask curiously.
“I don’t know if it’s…” Roy replied. He did not have a mouth now, but he could still ‘speak’ the demon language, and his puzzled tone echoed in everyone’s souls.
“Uncertain?” Benia was very curious. She flapped her wings and flew around
Roy to observe his body. Gradually, she saw something and said in surprise,
“Oh my god, my darling, you… Why is this mist on you…”
Benia could not continue because the changes in his body exceeded her understanding.
In fact, Roy had also discovered that, when linking it with the change in his bloodline in the system interface, the mist on his body was entirely made of elements.
But these elements were not elements in the conventional sense…
Quantum mechanics! Ever since the birth of quantum theory in human science, this sentence was often used to explain some incomprehensible phenomena. After all, for many people, quantum theory was very profound, and they felt that quantum theory could explain everything.
But in fact, things like quantum were not that complicated. If there was a minimum indivisible basic unit in physical quantity, then the physical quantity was quantized, and the smallest unit was called quantum.
In other words, a quantum was to divide an entity into extremely tiny pieces. From cells and nuclei to atoms, molecules, neutrons, protons, electrons… This continued until it was no longer divisible. This particle was the so-called quantum.
This was the cognition on the scientific side, and at the same time, there was this understanding on the mystical side. It was that elements were also a kind of particle. With magic power as a medium and catalyst, elemental particles could also be combined and separated at will.
Of course, the elemental particles in the mystical theory were not the molecular atoms described by the scientific side. One could imagine them as particles condensed from many molecular atoms before calling them ‘elements’. The name was different, but this disassembling nature was the same as that of atoms.
So if the elemental particles were divided until they could no longer be separated, could they also be called quantum?
The answer was yes. Roy’s current situation was because all the elemental magic power circuits in his body had completely fused together. In order to coexist, they had spontaneously separated into the most basic elemental units! And they had even transformed his body…
It could be said that his body was now made up of the most basic units of elements. This strange and mysterious mist was composed of trillions of elemental particles. The reason why they did not completely escape from him was that his soul and divine spark were guiding them.
This was why the system interface called Roy’s state quantum demon. In the native name of Abyss demons, this form was called ‘Chaos Demon’…
At this point, everyone might have guessed that because all the elements were now in a quantum state in his body, he could indeed use any elemental magic without any hindrance because elemental quantums could transform into any elemental magic!
Moreover, any elemental magic Roy used now would automatically obtain the effects of various elements. In short, any magic he used now would be destructive!
After he explained his current state a little, he demonstrated it to everyone on the spot.
Roy stretched out his fingernail-less index finger and gently pointed at a space in the distance.
“Freeze!”
With this simple word, the place he pointed at suddenly turned into a black cube!
The blackness was exceptionally pure. But other than this, there were no other phenomena. Compared to the magic that Roy had used in the past, the effect seemed simple and plain. There was only a black cube floating there.
“Foster Father, what did you do?” Sareth asked curiously.
The others also felt that it was strange, feeling that Roy’s attack just now was in great contrast to his strange form.
But in the eyes of the more knowledgeable Sparda and Benia, Roy’s casual point with his finger was terrifying!
“Step back! Quickly step back!” Sparda pulled Dante and Vergil while Benia pulled Julia and Sareth and quickly retreated.
Under everyone’s bewildered gazes, a cracking sound suddenly came. The black cube suddenly began to split into pieces. This splitting did not mean splitting in the conventional sense, but it meant that the space where the black cube was was breaking! This sound was the sound of space collapsing. It did not spread through the air but directly appeared in the senses of everyone in this continuous space.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the collapsed cube quickly shattered into a sphere. Finally, as though it was being squeezed, it became smaller and smaller until it became a black spot and disappeared.
“W-what’s going on?!” Sareth looked at Benia in shock, hoping that his Mother Benia could explain to him.
But before Benia could say anything, Sparda took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Your foster father just… froze that space!”
“Oh, froze…” Sareth nodded and suddenly realized. “Wait, Uncle Sparda, what did you say? Space froze?!”
“Yes!” Benia nodded. “Not only space, but even time was frozen. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such pure and terrifying darkness! That’s because even the holy light of Heaven was frozen. Without the movement and spread of light, we naturally couldn’t see anything with the naked eye!”
“True absolute zero???” Julia reacted and covered her mouth in surprise. “Isn’t that the effect that Osiris has been pursuing? It didn’t work for so long before, so how did he achieve it so easily?”
“That’s probably the power of a Chaos Demon… This is awesome!” Benia’s eyes revealed an excited light.
Roy flew over and nodded at the two of them. “Indeed, it’s absolute zero—the power that can even freeze time and space, the silence of all things, and the end of all temperatures. Other than Void power and authority power, I’m afraid not many people in the material world can resist this move… If I hadn’t used the power of authority to limit the range of space in the cube, after the space collapsed, the rest of this space would have been squeezed and emitted into the Void. The chain reaction might have directly destroyed the entire Purgatory
Space of this Heaven… I didn’t expect that I could really do it so easily…”
Hearing this, Dante, Vergil, Bayonetta, and Jeanne were all dumbfounded. They did not expect that such a simple attack could have such terrifying consequences. Fortunately, this demon king did not have any ill intentions toward this world, or else…
“Foster Father, you’re so awesome! You’re so cool!” Sareth was already cheering.
Julia smiled and sighed in her heart. From the time Roy became a high-rank demon and got to know her, she had always felt that he was stronger than demons of the same rank. She did not expect that he would still display stronger strength after becoming a demon king.
Such a powerful destructive force, even other demon kings would find it
difficult to do it, right?
