Chapter 490 - 490: New Power
Just like in nature, frogs were very sensitive to moving objects, but they could not see objects that were not moving clearly. Most insect-type creatures had compound eyes, and no one could clearly tell what the visual scene in their eyes was. Snake-type creatures had low vision, but they could find prey through thermal detection. Human eyes could see 576 million pixel visual images, and the three-colored vision of the three types of retinal cells (red, green, and blue) could see about 1 million colors. But there were many color-blind and color-deficient people. Mantis shrimps could distinguish colors far better than humans. They had the ability to distinguish up to 16 colors, and they could also see the invisible ultraviolet and infra-red rays, as well as perceive linear and circular polarised light. But peacock mantis shrimps were creatures without intelligence, so it was impossible to describe what the world they saw in their eyes was like to humans…
All of this stemmed from the different eye structures between creatures.
Roy had actually noticed he had a different eye structure from the moment he became a demon. At least, when he was born as a human, he could not see souls at all, but demons could.
In addition, there was also dark vision, the ability to see clearer the darker the place. This was completely different from humans.
Moreover, Roy’s eyes had undergone many evolutions. Compared to other demons, he had more radiation vision, so the scenes of the world in his eyes were naturally indescribable.
But even so… the world he saw before could not compare to the world he saw after fusing with the divine spark!
Under Julia’s and Benia’s surprised gazes, a gap opened in the center of Roy’s forehead. The tough demon skin seemed to have been cut by a knife, and it slowly spread to both sides to reveal a new demon eye inside.
The white parts of this demon eye were all red, and it had a dazzling bloody feeling. Only the long and narrow pupil in the middle had a touch of gold. The entire eye looked very strange. It made people shudder and also had a strange sense of holiness…
Yes, a sense of holiness! This word was the most inappropriate description for a demon, but it just happened to appear…
This new vertical eye was the materialization of the divine spark of the Möbius strip after fusing with Roy.
With the help of this eye, everything Roy saw changed drastically.
This change was difficult to describe in words. There were microscopic and macroscopic particles. In the microscopic world, Roy saw countless particles filling the atmosphere, and these particles exuded a completely different light. After identifying them for a while, Roy quickly understood that these new particles were actually elements! Endless elements filled the entire world. As though they were in Brownian motion, they collided, fused, and then separated.
Roy raised his hand and tried to condense a piece of solid ice in his palm through magic power. As a result, he saw a very unique force field spreading out from his palm. Any elemental particles that came into contact with the force field, a portion of them—probably the water element—immediately swarmed over and instantly gathered in his palm. Through constant compression, fusion, and orderly arrangement, the particles turned from the originally invisible microscopic world into macroscopic matter. Thus, a diamond-shaped piece of solid ice was born in his palm.
It was too wonderful. This entire process of seeing magic take shape with his own eyes was simply too wonderful for Roy. He had never thought that the magic he used in the past was actually created in this way.
Roy could not see the unique force field formed by magic power in the past. But now, he deeply understood how a medium like magic power communicated with the elements…
This was what he observed in microscopic situations. He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. The pupil of the vertical eye between his eyebrows shrank slightly, as though a magnifying glass had zoomed out. It immediately separated from his microscopic vision, allowing him to see the macroscopic scene.
In addition to the world and colors Roy had observed in the past, there were many things he could not describe in the macroscopic scene. Perhaps it was the special rays that he could not perceive in the past, but he could not tell what they were for a moment. But the most special thing was that he saw… strings!
Strings… Let’s call them that for the time being because they were made of translucent, ethereal lines. These countless lines intertwined together to form a massive net that enveloped the entire sky and even the entire world!
This massive net filled the world, enveloping everyone and everything, including Julia and Benia, who were close at hand. There were many similar lines on them, looking as though they were extending out of their bodies and intertwining with the countless lines in this world.
The reason why he suddenly thought of the word ‘string’ was that when he saw these ethereal lines, the first thing he thought of was puppets! Because the two of them looked like puppets connected by countless lines in his eyes… What are these lines? Roy thought curiously. Are these the so-called Lines of
In some literary works, there were often such words and adjectives. “The Goddess of Fate strummed the Strings of Fate…” In the past, he did not think that there was anything wrong with these words. But after seeing these illusory lines with his own eyes, he suddenly realized that these words might be true!
There really was the so-called ‘Strings of Fate’!
Roy raised his hand and saw countless such strings extending from his body. These strings that were swaying slightly like smoke intertwined with the strings that originally existed in this world, being completely inseparable from each other.
In order to verify whether his guess was right, he looked around and found an incomplete floating island in the distant horizon. It was a small piece of wreckage from a floating island of Heaven that had shattered during the battle. There were still countless lines connecting to it, so he raised his hand and released a giant ball of destruction flames to destroy it completely.
“That’s not right. It shouldn’t be like this…” Roy frowned after destroying the wreckage. He could clearly see that the strings that were spreading out from the wreckage of the floating island had not disappeared, but they had changed to another form and continued to integrate into the strings of this world.
“What’s not right?” Julia and Benia did not know what was going on. They only saw Roy inexplicably destroying the remains of the floating island. But he was frowning now, so they asked curiously.
Roy did not answer them but thought carefully for a moment before suddenly looking at the wreckage of another floating island in the distance.
But Roy did not use magic this time. Instead, he tried to reach out his hand. His five sharp fingers faced the wreckage from afar and began to move gently in a dance-like manner.
Julia and Benia did not dare to breathe loudly as they quietly watched Roy’s actions. Even when Sareth, Dante, and Nero had returned, they raised their fingers and shushed them, signaling them to be quiet and not to disturb Roy.
After about ten minutes, Roy seemed to have caught something, and his dancing fingers suddenly clenched together.
The next moment, the wreckage of the floating island, which was more than a thousand square meters, suddenly shattered and turned into countless powder.
They did not feel any magic power fluctuations nor any elemental invasion, but the wreckage was destroyed in front of everyone. Seeing this, Julia and the others looked at each other, unsure of what was going on.
“Foster Father, what did you do just now?” Sareth asked curiously.
Roy did not answer him. Instead, he looked at his demon claws in fascination and muttered, “I see. Is this the power of disturbance? Or is this the so-called authority?!”
No one knew what he had just done, and only he himself knew. In fact, he had been trying to think of a way to move the ‘strings’ spreading out from the floating island. After trying for a long time, he finally found a ‘string’ that he could ‘move’ at will. And when he grabbed and directly tore this ‘string’, the floating island was immediately destroyed!
This feeling was too awesome! Roy could clearly feel that it was a supreme power!
After hearing Roy’s mutter, Julia’s and Benia’s eyes immediately revealed pleasant surprise. Of course, they knew that Roy had fused with the divine spark, but they did not expect him to grasp the power of authority so quickly.
In the sky, four vigorous steeds stepped on the air, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse slowly rode on their respective mounts toward Roy. And farther away, Bayonetta and Jeanne were also stepping on magic power light rings and continuously jumping and rushing over.
The explosion caused by the destruction of Jubileus’s body had blown almost everyone far away. Fortunately, this was Heaven, and it had this vast and empty space, so the power of the explosion did not cause much damage to everyone. But Roy had taken advantage of this opportunity while they were blown away and obtained Jubileus’s divine spark. War’s expression was very ugly at this moment.
A divine spark was a good thing, but it was another matter if this good thing fell into the hands of a demon. Even though Roy had summoned the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, this did not mean that they were willing to see the birth of a new demon king.
Therefore, when he came in front of Roy, War was the first to say with a foul expression, “Demon, this is the only time and the last time. Don’t think about using us to deal with your enemies for you!”
Roy looked at him and grinned sinisterly. “Don’t worry. I know that you won’t make a move for me again. My promise is still valid. The next time we meet, you will face Corruption head-on!”
“I hope so!” War snorted. The Four Horsemen did not say anything. Their bodies turned into four rays of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye. It seemed that they could not wait to return…
After seeing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse leave, Roy turned to look at Sparda, Dante, Vergil, and Nero. At this moment, they were still in their demon forms and looking at Roy vigilantly.
Of course, they knew that Roy had fused with the divine spark and become a new demon king. But demons were the most untrustworthy creatures. They did not know if what they were doing was right or not, but if Roy wanted to harm these two worlds after becoming a demon king, then the four of them would risk their lives to stop him.
Fortunately, Roy had never thought of doing anything to these two worlds…
