Custom Made Demon King Chapter 355 – The Call of Urgash

Chapter 355 The Call of Urgash

Roy did not disturb the communication between the demon lords. He stood in front of the light screen and waited quietly.

In fact, from the very beginning, Roy had never thought of communicating with these demon lords. To him, there was no need to have any dealings with a group of demons imprisoned in an alternate space prison and could not appear in the main world. His initial plan was to kill Xeron and promote to demon lord before returning to the Abyss.

However, after killing Kha-Beleth, Roy suddenly realized an issue. These demon lords might have souls and good things in their hands!

It was not easy for ordinary low-level demons to obtain souls, and it was difficult for them to control their Soul Devouring Addiction. Therefore, once they obtained souls, they would eat them on the spot. But for high-level demons or demons at the demon lord level, it was much easier to obtain souls. But even though they obtained more souls, even demon lords might not be able to devour them in a short time.

This led to high-level demons storing some of the souls in their hands. In fact, souls had become the universal currency among high-level demons, and they could be used to exchange for things with other high-level demons. This would obviously encourage the habit of high-level demons to store souls.

Of course, Dioland and the others had been imprisoned for nearly a thousand years, so Roy did not dare to expect them to have many souls in their hands. But no matter how many they had, he would squeeze out whatever he could. Even if they did not have many souls, they could replace them with other things…

After all, these guys had to seek his help now!

Therefore, Roy was not anxious at all. The initiative was in his hands.

About six minutes later, the demon lords seemed to have reached an agreement. Dioland turned his head and said to Roy, “We can pay some price to complete this transaction!”

“Very good!” Roy nodded. “So, how many souls are you willing to give me?”

The next second, Dioland said a shocking number, “Twenty million! Twenty million!”

“How many?!” Roy thought that he had heard wrong. To be honest, he thought that it would already be impressive for these prisoners to take out a few million souls at most, but he did not expect them to say such an astounding number.

“Twenty million, no more or less!” Dioland replied affirmatively.

“Why do you have so many souls? Where did you get them?” Roy asked curiously.

Dioland said proudly, “Although the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam staked his own life to seal us in the Sheogh alternate space, you know that every time a lunar eclipse comes, the power of the seal will weaken, and some of the demons in Sheogh will be able to escape from this prison. And these demons who escaped are all the executioners of our will. Over the past thousand years, the demons who escaped have launched several large-scale wars in Ashan, and they sent most of the souls of those who died in the wars to Sheogh. Although these souls are not enough to let us break through this cage, they can still barely maintain our strength. But in this cage, we have nothing to do. Even if we can maintain our strength, it won’t be of any use. So we haven’t used up these souls. Even though the thousand years has weakened us for a time, apart from the necessary consumption, we’ve been storing the remaining souls!

“Our original plan was to use these stored souls to restore our strength after we went out…” Dioland sighed. “But Kha-Beleth is dead. Without the Dark Messiah, it’s useless to have so many souls if we can’t go out, so we can promise that we’ll give these souls to you first to improve your strength. After all, if you can’t save yourself and become expelled or killed, it’ll be very troublesome to send another demon lord out…”

Roy understood what he meant. Although Roy was not on the same side as them, he was still a demon after all, and he was naturally in the same racial camp as them. After Kha-Beleth’s death, Dioland and the others hoped that a demon lord could control the situation and at least ensure that the Dark Messiah was not taken away. Only in this way would they have a glimmer of hope of escaping.

And these twenty million souls were actually their investment in Roy…

It had to be said that these demon lords were quite cunning. They secretly sent a large number of souls to Sheogh and stored them. This way, if they were to escape in the future, the various races of the Ashan world would think that they could take advantage of the time while they were in a weak state to eliminate them. Then, they would hit a steel plate because the demon lords had stored a large number of souls and could quickly recover their strength…

Roy was certain that these demon lords had more than twenty million souls, possibly far more. In the past thousand years, there had been several demon invasions, and countless intelligent lives had died under the flames and iron hooves of demons. It should not be an exaggeration to say that there were nearly a hundred million.

The birth and death of intelligent life were endless cycles of reincarnation. From this point of view, as long as demons were willing to spend time on this, souls were actually a kind of renewable resource…

However, most demons were very impatient. They did not have the patience to wait and preferred to plunder everything in one go. This was also why many demons were obsessed with destroying worlds. After all, even if they destroyed the current world, they could return to the Abyss and find another world to continue invading…

Of course, the demon lords might have more souls in their hands, but Roy could not squeeze them all out. Twenty million was already far beyond his expectations.

Dioland had also calculated the number of souls that he mentioned. If there were too many souls, they would severely harm themselves, but if there were too few souls, they probably would not be able to move Roy. If Roy did not have any motivation, he would just leave and return to the Abyss. In that case, Dioland and the others would not be able to achieve their goal. If they really waited until the seal was weak enough for their strength to be able to break through the seal, who knew how many years they would have to wait… From Roy’s surprised tone, Dioland could tell that Roy was very satisfied with this number, so he immediately said, “But correspondingly, you have to make a demon contract with us. You have to stay in this world for more than twenty years until the Dark Messiah grows up and has enough power to break the seal and let us out!”

“Twenty years?” Roy frowned and shook his head. “Impossible. If I remember correctly, you are also from the Abyss and not natives of this world. Even if I sign a demon contract with you, it won’t help me resist the repulsive effect of the world. It’s impossible for me to stay here for so long under the repulsive force of the world.” “Indeed!” Dioland nodded. “As a demon lord, I am very clear about the influence of the world’s repulsive effect on you. Even if you sign a contract with the natives of this world, you might not be able to stay for long. As long as the contractor’s power is less than yours, they won’t be able to help you resist the repulsive effect. And it’s not easy to find a native at the same level as you, unless they’re figures like the Gold Dragon Queen and the Titan King. And it’s obvious that these figures will not sign a demon contract with you…”

“Okay…” Roy nodded and did not interrupt, waiting for Dioland to continue.

“So now, there are only a few solutions. One is for you to split your soul, create clones, and weaken your strength and presence. This way, you can effectively reduce the influence of the world’s repulsive effect on you, allowing you to stay in this world for a while!”

Hearing this solution, Roy could not help but sneer. “It’s possible to split my soul to create clones, but how many clones do I need to create to stay for twenty years? How weak will I become? I won’t use this method!”

Reducing my strength to give you the opportunity to take advantage of my weakness? What a joke. Roy thought.

“There’s another way. Go back to the Abyss first!” Dioland continued expressionlessly. “Then get your subordinates to hold an offering ritual in this world and summon you again. With the help of the offered lives and souls, you can stay longer.”

“How many lives and souls would need to be sacrificed in twenty years?” Roy asked while rubbing his chin.

“With your strength, I estimate that you need more than a hundred thousand lives and souls!” Dioland said an astonishing number.

Hearing this, Roy shook his head. “The success rate is too low. Let’s not talk about the success rate of the ritual. Do you think the people of this world will let my people complete such an evil ritual? I’m afraid my people will be surrounded before they can collect enough offerings, right? At that time, I’ll be in the Abyss and won’t be able to intervene…”

A hundred thousand sacrifices… Roy found it somewhat inconceivable. It was mainly because the duration of the stay was too long, so the resulting cost increased considerably.

In fact, let alone a demon lord, even a true demon king could be summoned. But the greater the power, the greater the threat to the world. Thus, the time they could stay in this world would be shorter and shorter. Dioland wanted Roy to stay in this world for twenty years, but it was absolutely impossible to rely on ordinary and commonly-used methods.

“If you don’t think these methods work, then there’s only one way left!” Dioland grinned sinisterly. “That is to become our comrade and accept the call from Urgash!”

Roy snorted coldly, bared his teeth, and likewise grinned sinisterly. “Dioland, what you said to me before was actually all nonsense, right? Your true goal is to get me to accept the last method, right? It doesn’t match your war demon style at all!” “Hehe, that’s right!” Dioland and the demon lords behind him all laughed. “As you can see, if you want to stay in this world for a long time with the strength of a demon lord, there’s actually only one choice. Only existences like the Dragon of Chaos can protect us. And if you want to obtain these twenty million souls, I’m afraid that you can only sign a contract with Urgash like us…”

Roy’s eyes flashed. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “I have a question. Isn’t it said that Urgash has fallen asleep? How can I still contact him?”
