Custom Made Demon King-Chapter 669 - Return to Azeroth

After hearing what Archimonde said, Roy nodded without saying anything.

Roy actually knew very well that in the more than 12,000 years that he had disappeared from the timeline, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden had already integrated the entire Burning Legion. The demons who were once willing to unite around Roy could only turn around and join Archimonde and Kil’jaeden after discovering that Roy had not returned. After obtaining the authority to command the entire Legion, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden naturally no longer wanted to fight against Roy. On the contrary, they wanted to avoid conflicts with him because this would cause them to be beaten or even killed by him again. If such a situation happened, Archimonde’s and Kil’jaeden’s dignity and prestige in the Legion would be severely damaged.

Archimonde might be reckless, but Kil’jaeden was a smart person. He had convinced Archimonde to let go of the hatred of being killed by Roy, so it was no wonder that Archimonde’s tone was so calm after seeing Roy.

Since they were so sensible, Roy naturally didn’t say anything else. Everyone just maintained some perfunctory politeness and continued the superficial camaraderie between the three commanders.

After his conversation with Archimonde, Roy learned what had happened during the time he had disappeared. Because of Roy’s departure, Sargeras had basically handed over the responsibility of leading the Legion to Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. He had instructed Kil’jaeden to search for powerful dark races with potential all over the universe and used various means to draw these dark races into the Legion to become demons. And Sargeras treated Archimonde as muscle. When the Legion went to battle, it was all led by Archimonde.

Over the years, the Legion had hunted down Velen and the draenei he led and captured the souls of the escaped titans of the Pantheon. It could be said that in the past 12,000 years, the prestige of the Burning Legion had reached its peak. The Legion had used its iron hooves to trample all the forces that dared to resist and flattened everything along the way, incinerating countless planets.

What followed was naturally more and more enemies. The survivors who managed to escape after the destruction of their homes and those who sensed the danger of the Burning Legion were all trying their best to resist the Burning Legion. The most troublesome among them was the naaru. Although they didn’t directly fight against the Legion, they appeared among the various races on various planets and brought the faith and power of Holy Light to these resisters, allowing them to cause more effective damage to demons.

Although these resisters failed to make any waves in front of the massive demon army in the end, they still annoyed Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. So when Archimonde mentioned these resisters, he couldn’t help complaining to Roy.

After the Burning Legion’s undertaking was on the right track, Sargeras rarely led the Legion into battle personally because there was nothing worth him taking action. So under normal circumstances, he did whatever he wanted. In Archimonde’s words, Sargeras would return to the Twisting Nether from time to time to check the planets that the Legion had burned along the way. Roy could tell that Sargeras was checking if his Crusade had achieved the results he expected and whether it had slowed down the corrosion of the Void.

And since the Burning Legion had fought all the way until now, it meant that it should be effective…

Until now, when Sargeras found the planet Azeroth…

When Archimonde said that Sargeras wasn’t around, Roy guessed that he was probably observing Azeroth’s world-soul somewhere. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to observe world-souls with ordinary perception, especially sleeping world-souls that had yet to awaken.

The only way to observe and even communicate with sleeping world-souls was through dreams!

Speaking of dreams, Roy was naturally not unfamiliar with them. Back in the Diablo world, he had been pulled into a dream by the newly-born world-soul of that world—Trag’Oul. Azeorth’s world-soul also had a dream, which was the Emerald Dream. The Dragon Aspect of the green dragonflight, Ysera, and the druids of the night elves seemed to want to communicate with Azeroth’s world consciousness through the Emerald Dream.

Of course, this referred to the way other races communicated with world-souls. As for whether world-soul titans used this method among their own kind, Roy didn’t know. It should be similar. But in any case, since Sargeras wasn’t around now, he might really be trying to come into contact with Azeroth’s world-soul.

Roy knew that coming into contact with Azeroth’s world-soul was a turning point in Sargeras’s thinking. When he established the Burning Legion, he had wanted to rely on himself to reverse the situation of the doomsday scenario. But perhaps Azeroth’s world-soul was really as powerful as Aggramar had said, so after this time, Sargeras had been unable to forget Azeroth. It wasn’t only because the Legion had tasted defeat, which they hadn’t experienced for a long time, on this planet, but also because Sargeras saw another possibility in Azeroth’s world-soul.

Regardless of whether Sargeras wanted to corrupt Azeroth’s world-soul like he had corrupted Argus’s world-soul and make her his right-hand man or if he wanted to devour the power of Azeroth’s world-soul to gain enough power to resist the Void Lords, afterward, the entire Burning Legion would crusade against Azeroth.

After understanding the cause and effect, Roy stayed with the Legion, but he maintained his low profile and didn’t interfere with any of Archimonde’s command decisions.

Sargeras’s order to Archimonde was to remain on standby until the portal to Azeroth opened. At that time, Archimonde would need to quickly send the demon lords of the Burning Legion to enter Azeroth and then consolidate and strengthen the power of the portal until it expanded enough for Sargeras to pass through.

The task was very simple. Moreover, Sargeras had already made preparations. He had bewitched Azshara and the Highborne, placing traitors on Azeroth. With these traitors working in the middle, it shouldn’t be a problem for the portal to open.

In this case, Roy only needed to wait. When the portal opened, he would be able to return to Azeroth… But there was a big problem here.

If Roy were still at the demon king level, it would be fine because, in Roy’s memories, the first portal opened by Azshara and the Highborne was very powerful, enough for a demon king like Archimonde to pass through normally. Then Roy could also directly enter Azeroth through the portal.

However, after more than 12,000 years, Roy’s strength had soared. His current strength was already on the same level as Sargeras’s, and it might even exceed it. Since the opened portal couldn’t let Sargeras pass through, it was naturally impossible for Roy to pass through. frёewebηovel.cѳm

It had to be said that the planetary shields of the titans were really good. At least, they had a very obvious effect in resisting the entry of high-energy existences, making Roy have to think about the problem of how to enter Azeroth.

In fact, he had even considered another problem. When the time jump reached the end, would he directly return to Karazhan, or would he be isolated by the planetary shield because he was too powerful… If he were isolated, where would he appear after completing the time loop?

Even Roy wasn’t sure about these questions and hadn’t figured them out.

After thinking about it, Roy simply created a projection of his power and planned to use it to enter Azeroth.

Unlike clones, although the power projection had a physical body, it didn’t have any soul consciousness mixed in, so every move of the projection could be controlled by Roy’s main body. It was equivalent to Roy creating a pair of eyes for himself and using these eyes to observe Azeroth.

Julia and Benia could go to Azeroth through the portal, but Roy thought about it and told them not to go and to stay in the base. After all, he knew that a very violent explosion would soon happen on Azeroth. The intensity of this explosion was enough to threaten the demon king level. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, it was better for Julia and Benia not to appear on Azeroth.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed. On this day, there was a huge commotion among the Burning Legion demons in the base. An enormous spatial rift opened in the starry sky. Roy knew that it was time, so he controlled his projection to get up and find Archimonde.

When he found Archimonde, this guy was commanding the Legion demons in high spirits to enter the spatial rift one after another. He also had two adjutants. One was an ugly dog demon king, Hakkar the Houndmaster, and the other was Roy’s compatriot from the Abyss, Pit Lord Mannoroth. Archimonde got his two adjutants to lead the troops into the portal first. After confirming that there was nothing wrong on the other side of the portal, he couldn’t wait to enter. He didn’t even bother to greet Roy, showing the urgency in his heart.

Shaking his head in amusement, Roy controlled his projection to enter the portal. After passing through the twisting and rotating spatial vortex, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright world appeared in front of him…
