Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 143 Perishing Together

Over the coming days, Roy kept collecting souls in the city.

In addition to him collecting them personally, Roy developed a batch of ‘downlines’. They were all top-middle-rank demons forced to sign contracts after Roy ruthlessly beat them.

There were about seventy of these demons, and they could bring Roy at least a thousand souls every day. But as time passed, the name of Demon Osiris gradually spread. His appearance as a frost demon was very easy to identify, so many middle-rank demons avoided him after recognizing him and no longer gave him the chance to attack.

Helpless, Roy could only stop this enslavement method because he found that not only were middle-rank demons avoiding him, but even some high-rank demons in this city noticed him. The high-rank demons certainly did not want more demons to compete with them for souls. But they noticed that Roy was about to promote, so they did not attack him and maintained a certain degree of restraint.

Compared to the high-rank demons, the angels did not have so many reservations. On the contrary, as long as Roy appeared, he would often be attacked by a large number of angels in this area. It seemed that the angels did not want another high-level demon to appear, so they were all thinking of ways to kill him in the cradle…

After realizing this situation, Roy tried to avoid the angels as much as possible, afraid of accidentally encountering high-level angels. After coming out to collect souls every day, he found a place to focus on compressing his magic power.

Even so, the number of souls Roy possessed kept increasing, from thirty thousand to fifty thousand and then to seventy thousand. He was getting closer and closer to his goal of a hundred thousand souls.

Just like that, a month passed. And during this month, the humans of this world had suffered heavy losses!

Take the city Roy was in for example. A city with millions of people had almost turned into a ghost city within merely a month. The organized regular army had long been exhausted from the war with angels and demons. Although the powerful technological weapons of humanity posed a threat to angels and demons, unfortunately, these powerful weapons usually needed a long period of training to master. If the soldiers who knew how to operate them were killed, it would take a long time for new operators to complete the training and replenish their forces. During this period, these weapons could only become decorations.

Humans had still been able to use tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets to counterattack at the beginning. But later on, they could only use ordinary firearms to protect themselves and counterattack. And these ordinary firearms posed even less of a threat to angels and demons.

The city was now completely reduced to a battlefield where angels and demons fought every day. Human figures could no longer be seen on the ground, and all the survivors hid in sewers, underground bomb shelters, and so on. Their numbers had also dropped to an incalculable extent, and they could only live like the rats in the gutter.

Even though they were hiding in these dark corners, humans were still dying in large numbers. Every day, when Roy collected souls with the Soul Attracting Flag, he could always collect ownerless souls from some corners. Clearly, these dead humans had died due to the lack of food and medicine.

Regarding this situation, Roy could only sigh. He knew very well that in such an Armageddon War, human cities could no longer carry out any production, and there was only death for the survivors here.

On the other hand, the survivors hiding in remote mountains might be able to find a way to survive, and they might even be able to build facilities like refuges and obtain food through farming with the strength of a few people.

However, this was merely struggling at death’s door. If humans were unable to expel angels and demons, sooner or later, humanity would eventually perish over time…

Although Roy had human thoughts and felt sympathy for the humans of this world, feeling as though they had encountered an unexpected disaster, Roy was helpless concerning this situation. He was only a middle-rank demon and could not influence this Armageddon War at all.

However, as a former human, Roy understood human nature quite well. As the resistance of humans became weaker and weaker, Roy became more and more vigilant.

He was very clear that despite the human race being small and weak, it absolutely should not be underestimated. Their personalities were two-sided. It could be said that they had the love and kindness represented by angels and also the ruthlessness and viciousness represented by demons. When they realized that their extinction was imminent, they would definitely be ruthless enough to perish together with the angels and demons!

They might even stake everything and completely destroy this world! Since they could not obtain it, then the angels and demons should not even think about it! Therefore, Roy did not idle during this time. He found a place and dug a very deep cave… On the sixty-sixth day since the End War started, everything happened as Roy had expected!

At midnight on this day, humans used their final means of retaliation. Hundreds of intercontinental missiles appeared at the same time from under the water in the depths of the ocean and the military bases hidden in the mountains!

These intercontinental missiles were all deadly weapons with nuclear warheads. The missiles were huge, and thick flames and white smoke spewed out from their tails. They were propelled by the powerful force high into the atmosphere. In the dark night, these missiles looked like meteors in reverse, appearing dazzling and determined… Many angels and demons discovered this scene. They knew that these missiles were human weapons, but they did not understand what they meant, thinking that they were just like the missiles that attacked them in the past.

Therefore, despite trying to intercept these human weapons, they found that they could not intercept these missiles at all!

After falling down from the atmosphere, the speed of these intercontinental missiles reached an astounding ten times the speed of sound! Such speed was something that even angels and demons could not catch up to.

This night, in the various large cities of this world, the main battle zones of angels and demons all welcomed a blinding flash!

The dark night sky completely lit up. From afar, you could see mushroom clouds rising from the ground!

Intense high temperatures and blast waves swept across millions of square kilometers of Earth. Vast numbers of angels and demons turned into ashes under the high temperature and blast waves, and then not even ashes were left. There was no need to mention low and middle-rank demons and low-level angels. Even some high-level angels and high-level demons died in the sea of flames in this global attack because of inadequate protection!

The coastal city Roy was in was also hit by a nuclear bomb!

An aircraft carrier fleet had appeared in this coastal city before. But this fortress sailing on the sea did not last long before being sunk by angels and demons. Only the nuclear submarines hiding in the deep sea managed to escape this disaster. After all, most angels and demons were active on the ground and the sky, and they could not bother with the seabed.

The nuclear bomb that attacked this city was launched by a nuclear submarine in the seabed hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline…

The moment the nuclear warhead landed, Roy felt a huge sense of crisis, so he hid in the cave he dug in advance and condensed a thick layer of black ice for a second layer of protection.

The hot flames even exceeded the temperature of the flames of the Abyss, and the ground and air became blisteringly hot. Roy hid in the cave, and his black ice was constantly melting, so he had to replenish it unceasingly with magic power.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. When Roy emerged from the cave with lingering fear, he saw a scorched land comparable to the Abyss…

The tall buildings were gone, leaving only some foundation and rubble. Rocks turned into magma, trees turned into black ashes, and scorchingly hot winds blew…

On this day, humans used their technological strength to fight a decisive battle of Judgment Day against angels and demons…
