After Kiljaeden spoke, Roy didnt answer him immediately. He pretended to ponder for a while without showing any emotion before asking, Kiljaeden, theres something Im very curious about!

Oh? What is it? Kiljaeden asked.

I can see that youre planning to make this guy into a powerful lich! Roy pointed at Nerzhul, who was stuffed into the armor. But if, and I mean if I didnt return and you didnt have my demon blood, how would you have made him what you want?

Kiljaeden nodded. Indeed, your sudden return wasnt in our plan

At this point, a sinister smile gradually appeared on Kiljaedens face. You might not know this, but weve been planning this plan for a long time. In order to find frost demons to obtain their demon blood, your compatriots Magtheridon and a group of Abyss lords personally opened portals to their homeland. Theyve been to the Abyss several times and found several Abyss demons with frost demon bloodlines. These frost demons arent as powerful as you, but enough demon blood can barely meet my requirements!

I see Roy nodded in realization.

Sure enough, this was what happened. No wonder when I was in the Abyss, I heard that the Burning Legion was searching for frost demons. At first, Roy thought that the Burning Legion had discovered the Abyss, but he didnt expect that it was actually Magtheridon and the others who had led the way

Moreover Kiljaeden had said casually that they had found several frost demons. But in fact, Roy had never been able to find any frost demons with the same bloodline as him in the Abyss. In other words, Magtheridon and the others might have captured almost all the frost demons in the Abyss! This number was absolutely not as simple as just several!

Kiljaeden didnt shy away from mentioning this, regardless of whether Roy, who also had the frost demon bloodline, would get angry. Of course, this was because he knew that demons didnt really have the concept of compatriots.

This was indeed the case. Of course, Roy wouldnt fall out with the Burning Legion over those frost demons he had never seen before. The question he asked just now was just to confirm his guess.

Roy was very clear that he was only an outsider. If he had not coincidentally followed Lilith into this world, he wouldnt have partic.i.p.ated in the historical trajectory of this world. In other words, if he hadnt appeared, Kiljaeden and the others would still have been able to complete the transformation of the Lich King Nerzhul. But now, because of his appearance, Kiljaeden and the others had another choice.

Okay. For Lord Sargeras, a little blood is nothing! Roy nodded and transformed his body into flesh and blood.

Speaking of which, Roy actually had four forms now. The first form was his flesh and blood body. Although it kept evolving, his flesh and blood body still retained his original bloodline attribute, which was the frost demon bloodline. The second form was the True Name Liberation state. In this form, his flesh and blood body and the magic power in his body would increase several times. The third form was naturally the Chaos Demon form. In this mist-like quantum demon state, his body would undergo tremendous changes. His flesh and blood body would be gone, replaced by an energy body. As for the last form, it was the half-Void form. The enormous Void Eye on his chest would open, and Void runes would appear on his wings. This form was mainly used in the Void.

After seeing Roy transform into a body of flesh and blood, the dreadlords quietly looked at each other, their eyes full of antic.i.p.ation. At the same time, a dreadlord took two steps forward. He was MalGanis. He came in front of Roy, held his hands in front of him, and then a longsword that nearly broke Roys calm expression appeared from an alternate s.p.a.ce.

The familiar hilt, the familiar shape, and the familiar runes all told Roy that this was Frostmourne!

MalGanis held Frostmourne with both hands and revealed a fawning grin as he whispered to Roy, Lord Osiris, you might need this

His meaning was very clear. He wanted Roy to use this sword to let his blood out. Roy was a demon king. Although he was now in a flesh and blood state, ordinary weapons couldnt cut through his surface skin.

After Roy saw Frostmourne, countless thoughts appeared in his mind, and his mind worked at high speed with all his might.

He was very sure that Frostmourne was staying well in the system s.p.a.ce at this moment!

But whats going on? Is this new Frostmourne the true original? No, this Frostmourne has an aura that resembles mine. This new Frostmourne is definitely related to me!

What kind ofreaction should I have when facing this sword? Should Ipretend not to know it, or should I know it? What does the hidden antic.i.p.ation in the eyes of these nathrezim mean?

I have too little information!

At this moment, Roy realized something. He was probably facing a very critical decision! Kiljaeden and the dreadlords had suddenly found him to watch the scene of Nerzhul becoming the first Lich King. This was definitely deliberate. It was a test!

Kiljaeden, who was known as the Deceiver, and a group of notoriously cunning dreadlords were all people with deep thoughts. Roy definitely didnt believe that their actions had no deeper meaning.

Roys mind raced as he quickly made a decision. He pretended to be puzzled and acted as though the short pause just now was due to feeling surprised and astonished. He said in shock, Isnt this my weapon?! Why does it feel different?!

While saying this, Roy stretched out his hand and waved gently. Then he easily summoned Frostmourne, which MalGanis was holding in both hands, and it flew into his palm.

After obtaining Frostmourne, Roy immediately felt the joy coming from it, as though it was cheering for returning to its masters hands. When he tried to inject magic power into the sword, the pair of demon eyes on the sword hilt immediately lit up.

A burst of intense cold aura spread out with Roys body as the center. Even the blazing fel flames around him were suppressed by this strong cold aura and started freezing.

It is different. Roy immediately discovered Frostmournes situation. He confirmed that the sword was his, but the power of the sword seemed to have increased a lot

With a thought, he opened the system interface in his mind and found a new page. It displayed the Frostmourne in his hand, but the system label showed that this sword was Reforged Frostmourne

After seeing the immense power of Frostmourne in Roys hands, Kiljaeden nodded imperceptibly.

In fact, Kiljaeden had once tried to hold this sword, but it could only be regarded as an ordinary weapon in his hands. He couldnt activate the power in the sword at all. Now that he saw Roy holding Frostmourne, he finally confirmed his ident.i.ty.

It was no wonder that Kiljaeden was so suspicious. Although the Burning Legion was invincible in many worlds under Sargerass leaders.h.i.+p, they had many enemies after destroying so many worlds. To Kiljaeden, Osiris had disappeared for so long and suddenly appeared again, but he couldnt tell where he had been. Of course, this made Kiljaeden suspicious, afraid that Osiris was some enemy in disguise.

There was no doubt that there was such a possibility because Kiljaeden was also very good at disguising himself. Just like how the fallen Sargeras had disguised himself as a t.i.tan and appeared in front of the eredar, Kiljaeden had also once disguised himself as the ancestor of the orcs. Including the dreadlords, the nathrezim were also good at disguising themselves.

Although Kiljaeden was confident that he could see through any disguise in front of him, and no one would dare to disguise themselves in front of him, what if?

Moreover, at this time, the Burning Legion had just experienced the defeat of

the Second War of the Dark Portal. At this juncture, as a commander of the army, Kiljaeden had no choice but to summarize some of the experiences and lessons learned. Roy happened to appear at this time, so of course Kiljaeden would be cautious.

Although many disguises couldnt be seen on the surface, there would always be flaws when it came to personal strength. Now that Kiljaeden had confirmed that the power Roy displayed with Frostmourne was exactly the same as the King of Despair Osiris in his impression, he finally let down his guard.

He said to Roy, When you suddenly disappeared, the Legion sent a large number of people to look for you. In the end, the nathrezim only found the weapon you left behind. Later, because it involved the plan to create the Lich King, the nathrezim found a way to reforge this weapon to make it usable by certain individuals

Hearing this, Roy nodded expressionlessly at MalGanis and the others, indicating that they had worked hard.

Then he said to Kiljaeden, I understand what you mean. You plan to trap Nerzhul in this armor and make it his phylactery. Then you will use my sword to bestow him with powerful strength so that he can better serve the Legion, right?

Yes, thats right! A sinister smile appeared on Kiljaedens face. If he can prove his loyalty to the Legion, he will obtain a brand new body. But if he doesnt obey the army, then his soul wont dissipate after the armor becomes his phylactery. We can torture his soul forever!

Roy nodded. Very good. Lets begin!

Then he held Frostmourne and gently cut his palm. The frost demon blood unique to him gushed out, and he poured it onto the Armor of Domination, which gradually absorbed it.

A violent tremor came from the armor. Roys current strength was not comparable to before. When Ca.s.sandra absorbed his blood and was transformed into a lich, she had suffered a lot. It was the same for Nerzhul now, but the pain was even more intense than what Ca.s.sandra had experienced.

Just as Kiljaeden had said, a lich transformed from Roys demon king blood was stronger than a lich transformed from ordinary frost demon blood!

Roy raised his hand expressionlessly and watched his blood continue to drip. He suddenly asked, Did you think of this Lich King plan after seeing my servant Ca.s.sandra?

Of course! Kiljaeden nodded. Then he sighed. The blood of you demons from the Abyss has such magical powers. The blood of Magtheridon can make those ugly orcs go berserk, and your blood can create a magical species like liches Roy didnt say anything. His question just now was to confirm some things.

In fact, he had always felt that it was a little strange. Logically speaking, the Burning Legion consisted of demons, and even if they wanted to create a puppet for them to control, they would usually create a demon. But what they thought of was to create a lich?

This kind of thinking was very different from that of demons, and it was absolutely impossible to say that it hadnt been affected in some way.

After asking, Roy confirmed that he was the person who had affected Kiljaedens thoughts Perhaps after falling into the time alteration, he had summoned Ca.s.sandra from the Abyss to help. Then the existence of the lich Ca.s.sandra was noticed by Kiljaeden and the others, leading to the birth of Kiljaedens idea.

In other words, the Lich King Nerzhul is just an imitation of Ca.s.sandra?

Coupled with the appearance of Frostmourne, this ridiculous sense of confusion made Roy begin to have doubts. Is the impact ofmy existence on this world destined?

While thinking about this, he glanced at the dreadlords hiding in the back. As expected, the antic.i.p.ation in the eyes of the dreadlords turned into slightly excited expressions.

This made Roy sigh in his heart. Of course, he knew why the dreadlords had such emotions.

Because when he saw Frostmourne earlier, he had said, Isnt this my weapon?!

Why does it feel different?! Instead of asking, How did you get it? or How did it fall into your hands?

This was Roys answer after thinking about it. Dont underestimate the difference between these questions. The former reply was only talking about Frostmourne, but the latter reply was questioning the reason Frostmourne appeared here!

The reason why Roy chose the former reply and ignored his doubts was that he had a vague hunch that he might have some kind of dirty relations.h.i.+p with these dreadlords.

Roy even vaguely guessed a possibility. Frostmourne was not found by the dreadlords but personally handed over to them by him!

So unlike Kiljaedens probing, the probing of the dreadlords was actually just to confirm if he was still one of them?

How did this happen? Roy felt a headache coming on. Could it be that Im in cahoots with the dreadlords?An undercover agent who infiltrated the Burning Legion?!

After all, the true boss of the dreadlords is Sire Denathrius IfIm on the same side as the Dreadlords, wouldnt that be

What is this? Espionage the Burning Legion version?
