Custom Made Demon King Chapter 149 - Brief Interlude

Chapter 149 Brief Interlude
Flying above the sea, Roy allowed the demons to search while he adapted to his Radiation Perception ability.
This ability was very powerful, but the premise was that Roy had to master precise control of this perception.
Any object, as long as it did not reach absolute zero, would emit heat radiation. This was the physical property given by the energy of an object and could never be eliminated. In other words, from now on, any invisibility effects would be useless in front of Roy. Even if the other party could control their aura and magic power to deceive the five senses, it was impossible for them not to emit radiation, and Roy’s Radiation Perception would detect them.
This ability was absolutely unique for finding people and objects. As long as Roy could proficiently discern the different radiation wavelengths of each object, even if he did not see it clearly, he could still determine the location of the object by the radiation wavelength it emitted.
But for now, this ability was causing Roy a lot of trouble.
Putting everything else aside, the sun and moon in the sky were massive sources of radiation. In Roy’s perception, the sense of the existence of these two celestial bodies was incomparably intense.
Without being able to control and block his perception of objects precisely, anything Roy saw now was affecting his perception.
Fortunately, this ability completely belonged to him and could be controlled through constant practice, which was what Roy was currently doing.
The search for the human ships by the angels and demons was still continuing, but Roy was now certain that the nuclear bombs the humans launched should be from nuclear submarines hidden under the water. If they were warships, they would have been long discovered under such an intensive search, so he gave the appropriate order to get the demons to search the seabed as much as possible.
As if sensing the actions of the demon led by Roy, a high-rank demon that had been flying nearby approached Roy.
This should be a berserk demon, a demon race famous for its strength. He was about the same height as Roy, but his muscles were more developed, his skin was cyan, and hard scales covered some of his vital parts. Both his hands and feet had thick bones, and the claws of his hands were nearly a meter long, looking like the extra-long claws of the female experimental subject in The Wolverine but longer and sharper.
Roy looked at this berserk demon’s claws and could not help but think of his former modification plan. At that time, Roy had thought of transforming his claws into adamantium, but after his bloodline awakened, Roy found that he was more skilled at using magic power, so this modification plan was over. Looking at the black light shining from the berserk demon’s claws, Roy felt that the hardness of this demon’s claws was probably not worse than that of adamantium.
After flying in front of Roy, the berserk demon stopped a distance away and then said to Roy in a low, muffled voice, “My name is Gasric! Powerful frost demon warrior, you seem to be stepping up your search of the seabed?”
Hearing the other party’s name, Roy knew that this high-rank demon did not have any hostility. This was an exchange between high-rank demons, so he nodded. “My name is Osiris. There should be human submarines near this sea area!”
“Submarine? What is that?” Gasric was dumbfounded, but he quickly shook his head. “Whatever they are, they’re at the bottom of the sea, right?”
Roy nodded without saying anything.
Gasric looked around. “Can you create a piece of land? I can think of a way to summon some sea demons to help us find them. Ordinary demons have no advantage in the sea.”
“Sea demons?!” Roy was stunned before he nodded. “Sure!”
Roy gathered his demon wings and landed on the surface of the sea. The moment he came into contact with the sea, the surface of the sea beneath his feet immediately froze, allowing Roy to step on it steadily.
Roy placed his hand on the ice surface and output his magic power again. In the blink of an eye, the black ice beneath his feet spread out again. Just a small amount of magic power was enough to freeze the sea within a few kilometers.
After becoming a high-rank demon, Roy’s magic power quality was incomparable. Even though his magic power value was still five thousand, the completely compressed magic power was three to four times more efficient than before.
To put it bluntly, if Roy fully unleashed his magic power, he could instantly freeze thousands of square kilometers of sea, and he could now use a skill like Ice Age.
“Is this enough?” Roy asked.
“It’s enough!” Gasric landed on the ice and firmly grabbed the ice with the sharp nails on his feet. He then shivered and said, “Seriously, I envy you elemental demons sometimes!”
Roy did not say anything and merely gestured with his hand. He knew that races like the berserk demons were classified as war demons in the Abyss, and their magic power was mostly used in combat. When it came to using magic power and elemental powers to transform the environment like Roy, they were far inferior to elemental demons.
Gasric did not waste any time. He began engraving the magic formation of the Gate of the Abyss on the ice Roy created. He planned to open a Gate of the Abyss here and summon some sea demons to assist in the search.
His sharp nails could engrave marks on Roy’s black ice, but Roy’s black frost power contained the Magic Power Virus and the Desolate Virus, so it did not take long before Gasric looked up at Roy in astonishment. “Damn it, why is my loss of magic power so fast while I’m standing on this ice? Also, how can you have the strange, deadly power in the city on this ice?!”.
Roy did not explain to him and merely said, “Hurry up. This ice isn’t real land, so it’ll be troublesome if you stay too long.”
Gasric carefully stared at Roy for a while. As a high-rank demon, he knew that Roy’s power had to be unique, so he hurried to finish engraving the magic formation and input magic power into it.
With the input of Gasric’s magic power, a huge black Gate of the Abyss opened!
Only after becoming a high-rank demon was it possible to open such a huge Gate of the Abyss. This was determined by the nature of magic power. When Roy was a middle-rank demon, he once opened a Gate of the Abyss through a magic formation, but at that time, only he could enter the Gate of the Abyss. However, a Gate of the Abyss opened using the magic power of high-rank demons could accommodate many demons.
This was why high-rank demons could summon other demons to fight…
When the opening of the Gate of the Abyss, a group of strange-looking demons emerged one after another. The reason why they looked strange was that they all had characteristics of fish creatures!
Either the demons were huge and full of sharp teeth like a lanternfish, or they had a human body and a fishtail, rather resembling demons like nagas. Just like what Gasric said, these demons were all demons living in the sea!
After appearing on the ice, these sea demons seemed to be very uncomfortable, but they still forced themselves to endure. They crawled on the ground and bowed to Gasric. “Your Excellency, we are here at your summons. Please give us your instructions!”
“Go to the bottom of the sea and search for human creations. If you find anything suspicious, report immediately!” Gasric said coldly.
“Yes!” these sea demons responded respectfully. But when they turned their heads and looked around, they were dumbfounded. Roy’s ice surface covered a few kilometers of the sea, and they would have to go very far to jump into the sea. But the bodies of these sea demons were not very suitable for crawling on the ice. They…
… would freeze!
They could clearly sense the powerful frost magic power emanating from Roy, so they knew that the ice was created by this high-rank frost demon in front of them. Thus, they eagerly looked at Roy, hoping that he would have mercy and put away his frost magic power so that they could enter the water as soon as possible.
Looking at the ferocious sea demons staring at him with their small eyes and pretending to be pitiful, Roy was a little speechless. He could only lightly stomp on the ice, causing the ice beneath the sea demons to collapse.
After entering the water, the sea demons heaved a sigh of relief and surfaced. “Thank you, Your Excellency!” Then they dived into the sea.
After the sea demons left, Roy asked Gasric curiously, “You can summon sea demons?”
“Sea demons are the same as land demons and are divided into levels!” Gasric explained. “Low-level demons have to obey high-level demons. They rarely interact with land demons, but there are altars of the Gates of the Abyss in the ocean of the Abyss, so you can also summon them. You only need to locate an altar at the bottom of the sea when opening a Gate of the Abyss!”
“I see!” Roy understood. Whenever he came into contact with some new demon races, Roy had an eye-opener. The more he interacted with them, the more he discovered how complex the demon race was.
High-rank demons might have conflicts with each other, but that would only occur when it came to benefits. Otherwise, high-rank demons could communicate equally. While waiting for the sea demons to report back, Roy began to chat with Gasric. He found that Gasric had also gone to many worlds, and when they chatted, they were exchanging information about these worlds.
When he heard that Roy had been to the Heroes of Might and Magic world, the expression on his face suddenly became strange. “Osiris? I remember now. I say, could the enemy that Xeron is looking for be you?”
“Huh?!” Roy narrowed his eyes. “You know Xeron? He’s looking for me?”
“Don’t misunderstand!” Gastric waved his hand. “I don’t have much friendship with that guy. I only know him. When he was heavily injured and returned to the Abyss, he hid for a while before appearing. Then he kept asking other high-rank demons about your name and news. If you meet him, you have to be careful!”
“Heh!” Roy reached out to touch his demon horns. “Who knows who should be careful…”
