Chapter 224 Titan Hellhound
Roy was not in a rush about the Dragon Balls. After all, this matter was beyond his control, and he had a lot to do now. First, he had to familiarize himself with the environment of this lower Abyss, especially since he had just taken over this demon castle named Black Brilliance Castle. Roy still had to understand what this castle could bring him.
For high-rank demons, a demon castle was not just a symbol of status. After promoting from low-rank demon all the way here, Roy was no longer in the wild state where he could just find a cave to be a lair. In fact, from another perspective, the architectural style of the demon castle coincidentally proved that demons also had their own aesthetic and artistic senses. Although the art of demons looked terrifying in the eyes of other races, it was still a kind of proof of an intelligent species.
The name Black Brilliance Castle might have come from the building materials of this demon castle, and the puppets serving the demon castle would set off according to plan every day to mine all kinds of ores in the mines within the territory of the demon castle. In the coming period, Roy and Julia would probably spend a lot of effort to understand the uses of these ores.
Although he occupied this demon castle, Roy actually did not care that much because it was not suitable for him to replant the Red Sea Egg!
It could not be helped. The lower Abyss was basically shared by high-rank demons. If Roy planted the Red Sea Egg in this castle, he might be discovered by other high-rank demons. Lilith was a famous demon king in the Abyss, and she probably had a lot of clones. If someone reported it to Lilith, Roy would be in trouble.
Therefore, Roy thought it best to wait until he became a demon lord and found a suitable alternate space domain that belonged to him before replanting the Red Sea Egg.
In fact, his greatest harvest when he went to the Darksiders world was not the more than one million souls but the Red Sea Egg. At the same time, Roy realized something. The Infinite Worlds connected to the Abyss had their own development processes, so special things were often born. These things might be naturally occurring, or they might be from other intelligent species that had been there for a long time. If these objects could be used flexibly, they might be of great help to Roy.
Just like this Red Sea Egg, it allowed Roy to spend a small number of souls to replicate a clone with the same attributes as his main body. This saved Roy from consuming a large number of souls because if he used the system to do this, he would not even be able to estimate the number of souls required.
Although Daddy System was omnipotent, the number of souls Roy could obtain was always limited, and he had to consider how to strengthen himself at a higher price/ performance ratio. If he could obtain and collect special items from these worlds in the future, wouldn’t that be equivalent to offsetting a large number of souls?
In the past, it was not that Roy had not thought about these issues, but at that time, Roy’s strength could not keep up, and he might not be able to obtain them even if he wanted to. But as his strength increased, he could try to seek these things.
For example, the Heroes of Might and Magic world that Roy planned to go to next had many divine artifacts and treasures. If he could bring back a few pieces, he could increase his strength.
This time, after going to the Darksiders world for such a long time, when Roy returned, he found that Fat Tiger was being bullied by a flame demon. This made Roy realize that it was time to improve Fat Tiger’s strength. As a pet he created, Roy’s trust in it could be said to be higher than that of Julia. Coincidentally, he had hunted many angels in the Darksiders world and obtained quite a number of holy souls. These holy souls were not very useful to Roy. There were few souls like Uriel’s, and it was impossible for him to use them all to make fallen angel souls. It was better to use them for Fat Tiger. It just so happened that he was made from a holy soul fragment, so these angel souls should be very effective on Fat Tiger.
So after settling down, Roy began to consider how to improve Fat Tiger.
Of course, these angel souls were not for Fat Tiger to eat directly, but Roy planned to use them to transform Fat Tiger and redefine his attributes.
As a three-headed hellhound, Fat Tiger knew how to use three different elemental powers. However, Roy realized that it would not be very useful for Fat Tiger to continue to develop these elemental powers.
Fat Tiger’s fighting style was inherently inclined toward wild beasts, so he should evolve in the direction of a true demon beast and use his unparalleled strong physique and strength to kill enemies.
Thinking of this, Roy could not help but think of the giant wolf, Fenrir, in Norse mythology and the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. If Fat Tiger could grow to a height of hundreds or even one thousand meters, how powerful would his physical strength be?! At that time, let alone a demon lord, even a demon king could probably be slapped flying with a paw, right? After thinking about it carefully, Roy decided to transform Fat Tiger from his body size and sheer muscle strength, coupled with extremely sturdy fur or armor as a defense, to make him a titan hellhound!
If he used the game terms to describe it, it meant that he planned to transform Fat Tiger into a super main tank. It just so happened that Julia’s flames had a recovery effect, and she could be regarded as a healer. And with Roy as a mage, a small-scale offensive and defensive combat group would then form.
Roy quickly put this modification on the agenda. He opened Fat Tiger’s attribute panel and consumed angel souls and a large number of ordinary souls to modify his attributes.
There were a few main changes:
Strength Enhancement: Every time this creature devours a soul, and when it grows, its strength will greatly enhance. Activity Enhancement: Same as above.
Speed Enhancement: Same as above.
Steel Body: Every time this creature grows, it will strengthen its physical defense and magic defense greatly.
Infinite Growth: The body size of this creature is no longer restricted.
The other attributes did not change, but the addition of these attributes not only consumed all the angel souls in Roy’s hands but also made him spend more than three hundred thousand ordinary souls. Roy only had a few souls remaining.
However, the effect was extremely shocking. When the attribute transformation finished, Fat Tiger, who had been following Roy, suddenly fell into a deep sleep, startling Julia. She thought that something was wrong with Fat Tiger.
In the end, Roy told her to stay calm and ordered the demon puppets in Black Brilliance Castle to hunt monsters and collect flesh and blood.
Fat Tiger’s first hibernation lasted a total of seven days. When he woke up, his body had already increased by about 30%, and then his three heads began a fierce feast. He devoured all of the several tons of monster corpses collected by the demon puppets.
Fat Tiger’s growth could be done by devouring flesh and blood and also by devouring souls. To Roy, he was quite easy to raise because Roy could directly feed him souls if there was not enough flesh and blood.
After he was full, Fat Tiger entered hibernation again. During this time, Fat Tiger’s body was growing at a visible speed. Roy could feel that all the cells in all parts of Fat Tiger’s body were in a vigorous state of division, rapidly multiplying. But this multiplication was still within control, and it did not make Fat Tiger bleed.
Roy did not know how many cycles it would take Fat Tiger to slow down his growth, but he did not slack off and continued to get the demon puppets to bring food back. Even he and Julia took action to catch all the monsters within a hundred kilometers of Black Brilliance Castle.
Not only did these monsters have to contribute their flesh and blood, but their souls were also fed to Fat Tiger. Roy wanted to see how big Fat Tiger could continue to grow.
Fat Tiger ate when he was awake and slept when he was full. It lasted for a total of seven cycles, taking about fifty days. During this time, the succubus Benia contacted Roy once again, but Roy did not care about her and directly rejected her proposal to cooperate. Although she was furious, she could do nothing about it.
After the seven cycles of growth, Fat Tiger’s size had exceeded Roy’s imagination!
Fat Tiger was currently more than six meters tall when he stood on the ground, and his body length was more than thirty meters. His fur was black and shiny, hard and flexible, and it was obvious that he had a very strong defense. In the system’s attribute panel, his strength and speed had reached more than 1,700, higher than Roy’s, and his activity was more than 1,400. Only his magic power was just a few hundred, without any growth at all.
Those who have not grown might still have intelligence. When this silly dog found that his master Roy had become shorter in front of him, his three heads and six eyes were full of confusion!
He might not have adapted to the changes in his body, so he wanted to rub against Roy, but Roy directly threw him away! His huge body was too large for the space inside the demon castle. Just wagging his tail casually had destroyed the pillars in the castle…
Therefore, Fat Tiger was sent out to sleep by Roy, this heartless master…
Fortunately, after seven consecutive cycles of continuous growth, Fat Tiger’s transformation finally slowed down a little. He no longer needed any food for the time being, meaning that his next growth would take a long time.
Julia witnessed Fat Tiger’s tremendous changes from the beginning to the end, and she was dumbfounded. She could feel that Fat Tiger’s magic power was at most at the lower-middle level, but with such a colossal body and such powerful strength, even some high-rank demons might not be able to defeat him!
When Roy brought her and rode on Fat Tiger’s back for a stroll, she asked Roy in a daze, “How did you do it? Why do I feel that your dog is as amazing as you, the master?”
“Haha, isn’t that good?” Roy hugged her and laughed. “In the world of demons, only strength is capital! Since you chose to leave Samael and follow me, I should at least grow to the same height as Samael to be worthy of your attention, right?”
“Yes!” Julia looked back at Roy with intoxicated eyes. “My partner will become the strongest demon in the Abyss!”
