Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 512: Double Standards

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With Archangel Tyrael’s soul, Roy returned to his cave in the mountains.

He sat down on the Frozen Throne in satisfaction and gently tossed the crystal that sealed Tyrael’s soul. To be honest, even he didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

Roy’s Kanai’s Cube was indeed a fake to this world, but don’t forget that he had invested a large number of souls in the system to create it. He had even used it to extract a divine spark before. It could be said that this thing was an ultimate alchemy creation.

This time, Roy’s target was Tyrael. He knew very well that once the power of the imitation Kanai’s Cube appeared in Sanctuary, it would definitely attract the attention of many people. They would discover that even without using the transmutation formulas of the real Kanai’s Cube, they could still create powerful magic items.

Roy was ninety percent sure that this thing would fall into the hands of the New Church of Horadrim, so he had created a unique octopus demon and used it as a courier to ‘send’ the imitation Kanai’s Cube. The recipient was the new Church of Horadrim.

He had left a spacetime beacon on the fake Kanai’s Cube, and he could sense the approximate location of this spacetime beacon, so he didn’t have to worry about losing it.

And because Roy’s Kanai’s Cube required souls as fuel for alchemy, he judged that after the people of the Church of Horadrim figured out the ability of this thing, they would most likely seal it and not dare to use it.

After the cube was sealed, Tyrael would definitely appear. With his cautious personality, he should be able to guess that there was something wrong with this unknown cube. So he would pay attention to it and even set some kind of trap to make the demon behind the cube appear.

This was nothing more than a process of you predicting me and me predicting you. But Tyrael would never have thought that Roy’s true purpose for taking such a detour was to create an opportunity to meet him.

In Roy’s estimation, not many people would come with Tyrael to this encounter, and maybe even only Tyrael.

Reality proved that this was indeed the case. The nephalem of this world had powerful strength, but as an Archangel of the High Heavens, Tyrael had not reached the point of bringing a group of nephalem as guards wherever he went. The dignity of angels did not allow him to do so.

As long as Roy met Tyrael, everything would be easy. He had guessed that

angels might be very difficult to kill, so he had specially created an item with a similar function to the Black Soulstone—the crystal in his hand.

Perhaps the people of this world had long been used to demons and demon kings being sealed. In their minds, they had never thought that a demon would appear one day and instead seal the soul of their Archangel!

It was not without reason that Roy said Mephisto and the others were a bunch of idiots. He didn’t know if their thinking had become stiff in the long Eternal Conflict. Humans could use the fragments of the Worldstone to create the Black Soulstone to seal the seven demon kings. But could the seven demon kings not obtain fragments of the Worldstone to create a soulstone to seal high-level angels?

Such a creation shouldn’t be too difficult for demon kings, right? It was the same even if they weren’t proficient in alchemy…

In any case, Roy had completed the first step of his plan perfectly, and he could continue with the next step.

Holding the crystal, he shook it hard and said to the golden stream of light in the crystal, “Tyrael, don’t pretend to be dead. I know your consciousness is still there and that you can speak. Don’t you want to say anything in your current situation?”

“Demon!” The voice of Tyrael’s soul came from the crystal, sounding furious.

“What scheme are you plotting by imprisoning my soul?!”

“Scheme? Perhaps…” Roy also wanted to chat with someone. “What I want to do is actually very simple. You only need to think about what kind of chain reaction your disappearance will cause!”

“My disappearance?” Tyrael’s soul pondered for a moment before saying, “You want to fight against the High Heavens?”

Roy asked in surprise, “Huh? How did you think of this?”

“You are a demon. What else can it be if you don’t want to fight against angels?” Tyrael asked.

Roy shook his head. ‘You might think that I imprisoned your soul to reduce the combat strength of the Archangels of the High Heavens so that I could lead the demon army to flatten it, right? Wrong. Your thinking is completely wrong!”

Roy raised his hand and instantly condensed an ice platform with his frost power. He placed the crystal on the platform and walked down from the throne. “Tyrael, you might not have realized what special role your existence has played in Sanctuary!”

Tyrael didn’t say anything.

“After descending into this world, the reason why I haven’t taken any action is that I’ve been using this time to study the history of this world!” Roy said. “I’ve noticed that the human history of Sanctuary has a lot of records about your High Heavens. If I remember correctly, you, the Archangel of Justice, Tyrael; your brother, the Archangel of Valor, Imperius; the Archangel of Hope, Auriel; the Archangel of Fate, Itherael; and the Archangel of Wisdom, Malthael, you five Archangels formed an angel council named the Angiris Council, which ruled the entire High Heavens and continued the war with the demons.” “That’s right. Is there a problem?” Tyrael asked.

“I’ve seen an interesting record in human history!” Roy grinned sinisterly at the crystal, ignoring the fact that Tyrael couldn’t see it. “After the nephalem appeared in Sanctuary, you, like the demons, had fear and worry about the powerful nephalem, so the Angiris Council once held a vote to discuss whether to carry out genocide against the nephalem, right?”

Hearing Roy mention this, Tyrael’s wandering soul suddenly stopped!

He suddenly realized what Roy was trying to express…

“According to the historical records, the vote seems to have been initiated by

Imperius. He voted in favor, Auriel opposed it, Itherael was neutral, and Malthael gave up his vote. Neutrality and giving up were both regarded as invalid votes, so the situation at the time was one-to-one. If you had chosen to be neutral or given up your vote, Imperius could have used his authority as the leader to force this vote to pass, right?”

“That’s right. So I voted against it…” Tyrael said in a low voice.

“It’s precisely because your vote played a key role that I can tell from the texts

recorded in human history that they didn’t teel much about Auriel, who also voted against it. Instead, they were very grateful to you, Tyrael! Precisely because of this matter, your prestige among the humans in Sanctuary has reached its peak.”

“It’s not just me. Humans are also grateful to Auriel!” Tyrael quickly explained.

“But Auriel rarely appears in front of the world, right?” Roy smiled. “It’s the same for you. Although you look like a human now, you’re still an angel at heart, so you might not understand the thoughts of humans. They will have doubts about people or things they haven’t seen before. Even though Auriel’s objection helped them, they wouldn’t care. Instead, they will pour all their gratitude into you, the Archangel who appeared in front of them.

“They will think that in the entire High Heavens, only you care about the life and death of humans. As for the other Archangels, they are either indifferent to humans or hostile to them… Don’t doubt it. That’s what they think! ”

. So, my disappearance will cause the relationship between the nephalem and the High Heavens to worsen, right?” Tyrael said dejectedly.

“That’s right. In my opinion, you’re the most important link between humans and angels!” Roy nodded. “The reason why Mephisto, Diablo, and the others failed in this world isn’t that they can’t defeat you angels but because they can’t defeat the alliance army of angels and humans!”

Roy clenched his claws. “And what I’m doing now is to cut off your connection!”

“You…!” Tyrael was terrified by what Roy said and wanted to scold him. But he stopped himself because he knew that Roy was telling the truth!

If the entire High Heavens had the same attitude toward the nephalem as Tyrael, then he wouldn’t have to worry about his disappearance at all. But the problem was that his brother Imperius was very hostile to the nephalem!

The Archangel of Fate, Itherael, was indifferent to humans, and Malthael had fallen not long ago. He had attacked humans as the Angel of Death and wanted to purify the demon blood of the nephalem. It could be said that in the entire High Heaven, only Auriel could stop Imperius. But if Imperius insisted on doing it, then as the leader, he might really lead all the angels to carry out the purification of the nephalem…

Moreover, there was now a new demon king in Sanctuary. If Roy provoked the conflict, the relationship between the nephalem and the angels would deteriorate quickly…

The current nephalem were like a double-edged sword. Their unique bloodlines of angels and demons determined that they were destined to be used by angels and demons. No matter which side they chose, it would be extremely harmful to the other side!

Thinking of this, Tyrael became anxious. His soul was colliding against the crystal in all directions, wanting to escape. But he had underestimated the crystal cage that Roy created. After charging left and right for a long time, his soul became dispirited.

“Damn it. Why did Mephisto find a demon king like you to come to this world?!” Tyrael roared in annoyance. “Can’t you just stay in your Abyss? Why did you come here to harm this world?!”

“What you’re saying is that only your Angiris Council can carry out genocide against the nephalem, but we demons can’t win over the nephalem?” Roy snorted. “Aren’t your double standards too serious?”

In fact, in Roy’s opinion, neither angels nor demons were good. There was no need to talk about demons. Angels had the special effects of holy light, so they confused humanity. But the truth was that there was a saying in the Bible that angels would blow their trumpets to destroy the world. What was the difference between the two?

Moreover, when did Roy say that he wanted to destroy this world and humanity? Was Tyrael suffering from paranoia?

What he was doing now was nothing more than making arrangements for a possible war with the High Heavens in the future… As for whether or not they would really fight, it depended on… when Lilith returned!

Roy ignored Tyrael’s shouts and sat back on his throne to think.

The destruction of the Black Soulstone was beyond Roy’s expectations.

Mephisto and the other demon kings had actually escaped.
