After realizing that there was no longer that terrifying ultra-low temperature around Roy, Julia quickly flew down, and Cassandra and Benia followed closely behind.
“Darling, are you all right?” Julia asked in concern while supporting Roy. “I’m fine. My magic power is already starting to recover!” Roy stood up and sighed.
“What happened just now?” Julia asked curiously. “I know you’re experimenting with your frost power, but why did you turn black for a moment? Like… like all the colors on your body turned into deep darkness…”
“Huh? Really?” Roy was stunned when he heard this question.
Of course, he could not see his state just now, so he felt puzzled. But Julia and the others saw it, and even Benia and the rest nodded to confirm Julia’s words.
“Turned black?” Roy was puzzled. Did that explosive increase of 100,000 points of magic power allow me to enter the absolute zero state? Or else why would such a phenomenon appear?
Roy could not help but ask the system in his mind, ‘Did the temperature I create reach absolute zero?’
‘No!’ The system immediately denied. ‘But at that moment, the temperature you created reached about one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero, so you entered a short condensate state!’
Condensate? Roy was puzzled. After asking carefully, he learned that the condensate mentioned by the system referred to the Bose-Einstein condensate!
As temperatures neared absolute zero, the matter in the real world would experience some very special states due to the slowdown of the internal molecular motion. In the condensate state, the density of all affected substances around Roy’s body had dropped dramatically to ten million times thinner than air, and their mass had been reduced to an unmeasurable level!
The affected matter referred to here naturally included light, and the speed of light under the influence of a condensate would decrease. The mist-like light and shadow around Roy was actually a visual phenomenon caused by the slow escape of photons. The closer to the surface of his body, the slower the speed of light, and the harder it was to escape. Even when it reached the surface of his skin, the speed of light was almost zero. In other words, his body was no longer able to refract light! This led to the ‘black vision’ on Roy that Julia and the others saw.
This principle was the same as the black hole model. The difference was that the light entering a black hole could not escape because of the immense gravity, while the light around Roy could not escape because of the temperature.
For some reason, after hearing the system’s explanation, Roy’s first reaction was: F*ck. It turns out the Saint Seiya anime was all lies! Cygnus Hyoga’s absolute zero move was fake!
According to theory, before reaching absolute zero, the speed of light could already be reduced to cause the black vision phenomenon. Then after reaching absolute zero, the speed of light would become zero. Without light, there would not be any refraction, and the eyes would not be able to capture any scenes… In other words, reaching absolute zero would ultimately create a phenomenon of ‘turning off the lights’. No one could see the world at absolute zero.
Even Roy’s Radiation Perception would not be able to perceive anything because even the radiation of objects stopped at absolute zero…
It was indeed the true extinction of everything… It seemed like there was a reason why absolute zero was so difficult to reach. There was no upper limit for temperature, and temperatures as high as tens of billions of degrees could occur, but there was a lower limit for temperature. However, it was probably harder to reach this temperature than to reach tens of billions of degrees.
The low temperature of the condensate that Roy created did not even last a second. To be precise, it was only 0.2 seconds. Although it sounded terrifying that even the speed of light could be reduced, the duration was too short, and it did not seem to have much use for the time being.
However, no matter what, this was a good thing. All of Roy’s plans had achieved his expected results and had not deviated off track.
Although the magic power required to reach the condensate temperature was too terrifying, as long as his magic power continued to increase in the future, he could make the condensate temperature last longer. As long as he had the condensate state to protect himself, the power of holy light was basically useless against him!
Holy light was an energy that had a certain amount of autonomous will. It repelled corruption and resisted darkness. However, this energy was spread through light, and under a condensate, the speed of holy light would also decrease, becoming incomparably slow. Moreover, the energy contained within it would also become incomparably weak. A powerful holy light impact would probably become similar to a tickle if it hit Roy under the condensate state…
Similarly, in the condensate state, any form of energy attack was basically useless against Roy!
Looking at Julia’s curious expression, Roy explained a little to her, saying that he had entered a very special state just now because of the lower limit of temperature.
Of course, Roy could not explain a condensate to Julia because this little fool Julia was simply a scientific idiot. She could not understand many things on the scientific side. She had not even known what a nuclear missile was. Otherwise, she would not have been shot down by the human missiles in the Darksiders world…
Regardless of whether Julia and the others understood or not, Roy left with them after saying that. In order to test his frost power, the commotion he caused was too big. Now, the entire city hall of Dendera Fortress was in an extremely fragile state. The slightest vibration could cause this area to collapse, and it was naturally impossible to stay here anymore.
While walking, Roy asked Benia, “How many demons have you summoned now?”
“About five thousand low-rank demons and more than two thousand middle-rank demons. But I didn’t summon any high-rank demons!” Benia said. “Because even if I summon them, I can’t suppress them. If you want high-end combat power, you have to appear.”
Roy nodded. He knew this situation. Of course, there were differences in strength among high-rank demons. When Xeron summoned those big demons, he could only reach an agreement to cooperate with them to get them to help him fight. Benia’s strength could only be considered at the middle level among high-rank demons. If a high-rank demon stronger than her came during the summoning process, it might instead overpower her.
Therefore, Roy had to summon high-rank demons to ensure that the unruly high-rank demons obeyed orders.
“Okay, prepare the magic formation. I will summon some high-rank demons to assist in the war later!” Roy said. “In addition, we’ve been in Dendera Fortress for so long, and the situation here must have already spread. Have there been any movements in Aglan Fortress? What about the demons in Eeofol?”
“I’ve already sent people to investigate. Aglan Fortress is currently in a terrible state due to zombies, and they’ve been waiting for reinforcements. It’s impossible for them to attack us!” Benia said. “However, what I don’t understand is on Eeofol’s side. Of the two fortresses on the border, one has fallen into our hands, and the other can’t even take care of itself. Logically speaking, the demons of Eeofol should definitely take the opportunity to come out to cause trouble and harvest some souls. But I don’t know why that the news I received is that Eeofol’s demon army has shrunk its defense instead!”
“Do you know who gave the order? Xeron?” Roy asked.
“I’m not sure!” Benia shook her head. “It’s probably not him. After all, you and he are enemies. If he sees your name in the intelligence, there’s no reason why he won’t react. I’m more inclined to believe that this might be an order from Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth!”
“Didn’t you say that your sister has become Queen Isabel and has control over the kingdom of Erathia?” Julia frowned. “Your sister should be under Kha-Beleth’s orders. Is there any connection between these two? Perhaps these situations are related to what Eeofol’s demons are plotting?”
Roy actually felt very puzzled. He had once mentioned his demon name on the battlefield. And now with the defeat of the alliance army, the name of Osiris must have spread. Although Xeron’s impression of him might still be when he was at the low-rank demon level, when he heard this name, he should have come to see even if he felt that it might not be the same person. Moreover, Roy’s attack on the border fortress was actually lifting a blockade for Eeofol’s demon army. Just like what Benia said, with the nature of demons, they should have come out to have a carnival of destruction.
Why did they not come out but instead turtle
up?
“I’ll give you two more days to continue summoning demons!” Roy said to Benia. “Get as many as you can. Two days later, Giovanni should return with his vampires. At that time, we’ll immediately set off and march toward Eeofol! I want to see what Xeron and the others are up to…”
“Understood!” Benia nodded. Two days passed quickly, and Giovanni finally arrived as scheduled.
He did not go back on his word. After returning this time, he actually brought more than ten thousand vampires! In his words, they were almost all the members of his clan!
This guy was now betting everyone on Roy. If Roy succeeded, he might be able to push him onto the throne of the undead monarch, but once he failed, Giovanni’s people would probably suffer heavy losses…
After Giovanni returned, after some mobilization, an enormous mixed army finally took shape. They left Dendera Fortress like a mighty flood and marched toward Eeofol…
