Chapter 636: Void Trip

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After everything was ready, Roy and Sargeras found an empty area. Roy placed his hand on Sargeras’s shoulder, opened the Void Eye on his chest, and began communicating with the Void Domain.

Then their figures flickered before completely disappearing. The entire process didn’t even cause the slightest fluctuation.

After entering the quiet Void again, Roy was still fine, but Sargeras was extremely uncomfortable. When he got Roy to bring him into the Void, he was naturally on guard against him. So when he found that the surrounding environment wasn’t right, he subconsciously wanted to attack him.

However, what made him feel strange was that he couldn’t accurately mobilize all the energy in his body here. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe this strange sensation as stuttering. Furthermore, the dissipation of the energy in his body exceeded his imagination.

This quagmire-like sluggishness made Sargeras very uncomfortable. But at this moment, Roy’s voice appeared in his mind. “Don’t move. If you fall into the Void, I won’t be able to save you! Wait two minutes…”

Only then did Sargeras calm down. A moment later, a special energy field spread out with Roy as the center. This energy field wasn’t big, but it quickly enveloped Sargeras. In this special energy field, Sargeras’s discomfort immediately eased, and the energy mobilization in his body became normal. What surprised him the most was that he could ‘see’ the surrounding environment in this energy field.

Yes, the moment he entered the Void, Sargeras was already ‘blind’. Not only his eyes, but all his methods of sensing the outside world had lost their effect in the Void. This was the real reason why he was very nervous earlier. As a world-soul titan, he had no idea how long it had been since he had felt this insecurity.

The threat of the Void was even more serious than he had imagined.

However, the energy field Roy created could dispel his discomfort in the Void, making Sargeras look at him in surprise.

Roy smiled coldly at him and sent a soul voice transmission. “Understand, Your Excellency Sargeras? In this Void, you’d better not let anything happen to me, or you’ll be finished!”

“Sorry…” It was rare for Sargeras to respond to Roy’s words. Then he turned around and used all his senses to observe the Void.

However, after observing for a while, Sargeras was even more shocked!

“W-what’s going on?” he asked in surprise. “Are all the underlying laws of physics chaotic?! Wait, no… they’re not chaotic, but… illusory! Or is it not?!”

Roy didn’t answer him and just stayed quietly at the side, waiting for Sargeras to finish investigating.

Yes, this was the Void. Roy had discovered since the last time he fell into the Void that everything here was nothingness. There was no energy or matter under macroscopic conditions. Even if he observed the underlying laws with the power of his divine spark, all he could see was chaotic and illusory. The only thing he could observe here was the variable of time. This might be the only evidence of the existence of the Void. If there were no time, Roy would even doubt if the Void existed.

Sargeras was shocked by the true Void Domain. He transmitted his voice to Roy in a daze. “This… this is the true Void?! Damn it. I’ve seen those Old Gods and come into contact with Void energy. I thought that the Void was just a dark abyss…”

“To be precise, the things you see are all products of the reaction between the Void and matter. They’re products of decay, so they can’t represent the true Void!” Roy explained. “The true Void is so mammoth that it’s unimaginable for you. Because there’s no concept of space here, in theory, it’s boundless…”

“There’s rich Void energy all around…” Sargeras said in a daze. “Without the protection of the energy field you spread, will this Void energy continue to corrode us?”

“Yes, even now, it’s still corroding my energy field!” Roy said. “I opened it with my own Chaos energy, similar to an order field. This act of forcibly opening an order field in the Void will anger these Void energies. With my current strength, I can’t resist them for long, so you need to speed up what you want to do…”

“What will happen when you can’t resist?” Sargeras asked.

“It will… stir up a horrifying Void storm!” Roy hesitated. “Although I haven’t seen it before, I can speculate that it will be a terrifying tsunami that can kill both of us!”

“Understood…” Sargeras nodded. He took out the navigation instrument he had made and activated it.

Fortunately, the technology of world-soul titans was really awesome. This navigation instrument could actually work in the Void. Of course, this might also be because it was in the Chaos order field Roy created. Otherwise, the moment Sargeras took out the navigation instrument, Void energy might have corroded it.

The navigation instrument was something like a radar. With the help of the remains of the Old God that Sargeras had killed, it began to trace its origin. A moment later, a light spot appeared on the surface of the radar. But what was strange was that the distance display number kept jumping randomly.

“Distance and space are meaningless here!” Roy said when he saw Sargeras’s puzzled expression. “The location it shows might be infinitely far away, but it might also be beside us.”

Sargeras understood and frowned. “Then, how do we move in the Void?”

“Either become one with the Void or rely on an order field!” Roy said. “We won’t consider the first method, so we can only rely on the second…”

Sargeras thought for a while and said with a headache, “In that case, even if we can find a Void Lord, how can I fight it?”

Roy thought about it and said, “I have to think of a way to solidify the order field around you…”

Roy pondered about it. It was impossible for him to maintain the order field like this to wrap around the two of them. Who knew what would happen later? So the best way was to give Sargeras a separate order field for him to use. But Sargeras’s strength was there, and Roy couldn’t let Sargeras’s body accept his Chaos energy. So it was best to use external force to create an item or equipment for him to maintain an order field by injecting Roy’s Chaos energy.

Simple items couldn’t withstand the infusion of Chaos energy. Moreover, if Sargeras wanted to fight later, his own powerful energy might destroy the item. So after Roy thought about it, it was better to use the system to materialize an indestructible object as a carrier.

Roy still had some souls. But just as he was about to take action, he suddenly thought about it. F*ck, why should I pay? This is for Sargeras. Shouldn’t he have to bear it himself?

Roy looked at Sargeras. “Do you have any souls?”

Sargeras was stunned and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I need souls to create a piece of equipment so that you can use an order field independently!” Roy didn’t hide it from him.

Sargeras hesitated for a moment and said, “Yes, I do. How many do you want? Also, in the Void, can I open the alternate space where I store things?”

“Try it. With an order field, maybe you can connect?” Roy wasn’t sure. Then he asked curiously, “Speaking of which, you’re a world-soul titan. Why do you collect souls?”

Yes, Roy had just tried asking, but he didn’t expect that Sargeras really had them!

“They’re spoils of war!” Sargeras said in a muffled voice. “I’ve eliminated countless demons, and there are always some powerful demons who have the habit of collecting souls. After I killed them, these souls fell into my hands. I originally wanted to bring these souls back to the Pantheon to turn them into energy and let them enter the cosmic cycle again. But since you need them, I’ll let you use them first…”

Sargeras tried to reach out and grab in front of him.

Roy was still thinking about what Sargeras said about transforming souls into energy and having them enter the cycle again. If he didn’t remember wrongly, the Shadowlands seemed to be the home of the souls of this universe. Were the world-soul titans of the Pantheon overstepping their authority by doing this? Suddenly, a powerful suction force caught him off guard, and the Chaos energy in his body surged out!

The order field surrounding the two of them shook violently. Sargeras seemed to have really connected with an alternate space in the order field. Half of his wrist had disappeared, but the price of this connection seemed to be the order field extracting a large amount of Roy’s Chaos energy. In just a short while, most of his Chaos energy was sucked away.

Fortunately, Sargeras didn’t take long. Soon, his wrist appeared again, and he was holding a bunch of strange things in his big hand. There were broken demon swords, evil-looking skulls, and some demon documents that looked like contracts.

Sargeras had seized all these things, which were containers that demons used to store souls. He stretched out his hand and handed them to Roy. “I don’t know how many souls are in them. Check first.”

Roy looked at him without saying a word. He took items and crushed them one by one. Then he saw souls full of resentment and fear appear in the order field. He quickly opened his mouth and sucked these souls in.

There were not many of them, about 400 thousand souls, which was barely enough. Roy initially thought that Sargeras might still have a lot in stock and wanted to trick him. But when he thought about the unbridled extraction of Chaos energy just now, he immediately put down this thought and decided to wait until they went out before saying anything.

Seeing Sargeras looking at him curiously, Roy thought for a while and raised his right hand. Then a light spot slowly condensed in his palm.

Roy communicated with the system and began to design an order field carrier. He directly displayed the creation process in front of Sargeras.

This was the first time he displayed this ability in front of outsiders. Even a world-soul titan like Sargeras, who had seen many things, had never seen this method of creation at the cost of souls.

A moment later, a belt appeared in Roy’s palm. It was a belt full of demon style, and at the front was a ferocious goat skull. The belt was engraved with demon characters and emitting a faint green light. Roy ignored Sargeras’s frown and injected his Chaos energy into it. As the eyes of the goat skull gradually lit up, a portable order field appeared.

Roy threw the belt to Sargeras and gestured for him to wear it. Sargeras was resistant to the design of the belt, but it wasn’t up to him at this time, so he could only wear it begrudgingly.

With an independent order field, it was much more convenient for Sargeras to move around, so he soon didn’t have any dissatisfaction. But what he didn’t know was that Roy had only consumed about 30 thousand of the 400 thousand souls he gave him. This belt didn’t have many functions. It only had a sturdy effect. Roy naturally pocketed the remaining souls as processing fees…

Then Sargeras had to thank Roy…

“I didn’t see wrongly. You’re indeed a very unique demon!” Sargeras sized Roy up again. “Is this strange soul creation ability your innate ability?”

Roy couldn’t explain, nor did he want to explain. He could only say vaguely, “The number of souls determines how strong the things I create are…”

“Really?” Sargeras looked thoughtfully at the belt.

“Let’s go!” Roy spread his demon wings. As the Void runes on them lit up, he grabbed one of Sargeras’s shoulders and ‘flew’ away with him.

Of course, it wasn’t appropriate to call it flying. There was no concept of flying in the Void at all. Roy was only communicating with the Void energy outside through his Void energy and the Void Eye and then replacing it, thereby displacing it and changing his position. Of course, this was a stupid method. If he could find some kind of Void creature and observe its movement in the Void, he might be able to obtain better inspiration and achieve the goal of ‘Void travel’. But this wasn’t an easy task. The Void was too big, and he hadn’t seen any Void creatures so far, so he could only use his own stupid method.

Although it was a little stupid, Sargeras didn’t think so. At least when Roy ‘flew’ him, he could see from the navigation instrument that he was indeed approaching the light spot…
