Chapter 371 The Book of Truth
The disaster of the Ashan world continued.
It had been extremely wise for Roy and the others to retreat to the Abyss a step earlier. Urgash’s consciousness was on the verge of collapse. He was sometimes confused and sometimes clear-headed and could no longer think normally. In particular, the Void power brought him an endless desire to devour. Under the dual torment of hunger and pain, Urgash destroyed everything he saw. After coming out of the alternate space, he, who was corroded and infected, quickly spread this contamination. Wherever he went, all he left behind was a strange mist that was deeper than shadows.
The Void did not only infect living beings, but it also infected non-living things, rocks, trees, flowers, grass, air, and so on. Once the matter in the real world became infected, they would fall into a crazy self-destruction process. They would distort their original properties and collapse during the process of constant transformation before eventually becoming a part of the Void.
And after those living creatures, beasts, or intelligent life forms became infected with Void power, they fell into madness. They would attack everything they saw moving and kill their compatriots. If they destroyed everything around them, then they would destroy themselves, swallow their blood, tear open their chests, and smash their heads.
This was a terrifying scene. The people of Ashan had never seen Void power, so they naturally did not know what was going on. But since this crazy self-destruction came after Urgash appeared, they mistakenly thought that this was Urgash’s chaotic power. They could no longer contact the Dragon of Order, Asha, so they could only pray to the Elemental Dragons to seek revelations from them. The Elemental Dragons worshipped as gods did not stay in the main world but were in an alternate space. Fortunately, they were second-generation dragon gods. When numerous anxious and desperate prayers reached their ears, the Elemental Dragons finally appeared.
The Dragon of Light, Elrath; the Dragon of Darkness, Malassa; the Dragon of Earth, Sylanna; the Dragon of Air, Ylath; the Dragon of Fire, Arkath; and the Dragon of Water, Shalassa-after the Six Elemental Dragons appeared in the main world, they carried out the mission that Asha had given them and began to fight against Urgash.
Without a doubt, the power of the Elemental Dragons belonged to the level of gods, and they were incomparably powerful. But compared to the Primordial Dragons who created the world, they were much weaker. Although the battle was fierce and severely damaged all of Ashan, the Elemental Dragons still failed in the end. During the battle with Urgash, not only were they heavily injured, but they were also corroded by Void power.

The Elemental Dragons suffered defeat one after another. Because they found that the power of holy light had a retraining effect on the inexplicable power of Urgash, only the Dragon of Light, Elrath, could last until the end.

But at this time, he realized that something was wrong. Urgash’s strength exceeded everyone’s imagination. In the end, he made a decision.
Elrath removed the contracts with all the angels and then used the repulsive force of the world to send the surviving angels back to the true Heaven. He hoped that the angels could inform Heaven about the situation of Ashan. He knew very well that angels were a powerful race that could use holy light. If the situation here could attract the attention of Heaven, stronger holy light reinforcements might come.
Isabel and the last remaining four angels were forced to return to Heaven under these circumstances.
After sending the angels back, Elrath and the others did one more thing. They wanted to awaken their mother, Asha. Although they knew that Asha’s strength had yet to recover, they could not worry about it anymore. They thought that with Asha’s strength and the support of the Six Elemental Dragons, they could fight Urgash and seal him again.
However, they did not know that their actions had accelerated the destruction of Ashan…
After they completed the awakening ritual, what they welcomed was not the Dragon of Order but… an unprecedented lunar eclipse!
After the war with Urgash in the Mythic Age, Asha slept in the core of the moon to recuperate. But as Roy had guessed, Urgash was corroded by Void power, and Asha was not much different. After awakening, Asha was like Urgash and corroded by Void power, and her condition was even worse than that of Urgash!
In the myths, this Dragon God of Creation had dazzling wings as bright as the starry sky. But after she returned, she had already changed beyond recognition, and her entire body was full of the aura of corruption. The first thing she did after appearing was to utterly destroy the moon of Ashan.
The moon was gone. After this lunar eclipse, the moon of Ashan would never return…
After destroying the moon, Asha charged toward Ashan and fought Urgash.
This battle was not because Asha wanted to stop Urgash, but because they wanted to devour each other. In this battle, they had utterly ruined Ashan. The core of the world was destroyed, the entire planet shattered, and all intelligent life perished.
The Elemental Dragons flew away from the planet at the last moment and stared dumbfoundedly at their mother, Asha, and Urgash biting each other crazily. They did not know why this had happened.
This time, Urgash won the final battle. After devouring Asha, the Void power of the two Primordial Dragons fused together and gave birth to… a Void Lord!
Urgash lost all his memories and lost himself. In the end, all that remained was his will to devour everything. His body spread out, enveloped all the Elemental Dragons and the shattered Ashan planet, and turned all matter into an endless void…
Everything would eventually return to nothingness. This was the meaning of the existence of Void power…
The Ashan world disappeared. It was like a tiny splash in the Infinite Worlds. It appeared but then returned to nothingness and silence.
In addition to Roy and the others, the only ones who escaped were Isabel and the four angels. When they returned to Heaven and reported the calamity that had happened here, it immediately attracted the attention of the high-level angels in Heaven. They realized that the corruption on Urgash was Void power, so they mobilized an Archangel and a large number of angels to follow the guidance of Seraph Isabel to travel across worlds to help fight against the Void power.
The Archangel leading the team was Michael, and it was Michael’s true body, or at least his strongest clone. However, when Michael rushed over with the angels, what he saw was an empty space in the universe. The Ashan world had been destroyed, and a Void Lord was born. He had already begun to wander around and devour the other planets nearby.
Facing a Void Lord, even Michael had to be cautious because up until now, there was no good way to deal with such powerful Void power in Heaven. Moreover, the target of the rescue was gone. After some thought, Michael brought the angel army back to Heaven.
After returning to Heaven, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, the three Archangels present, listened to Isabel’s report in detail. Isabel endured the grief of the destruction of her world and described everything to the three Archangels.
During the report, she mentioned a name repeatedly.
Demon Lord Osiris…
Isabel believed that Demon Lord Osiris was the main culprit in the destruction of Ashan and the source of all disasters.
Although Roy had snatched a soul fragment from Gabriel back then, he was only a low-rank demon at the time. He was so small that Gabriel did not even know his name, so he did not connect Roy with that low-rank demon.
However, Heaven attached great importance to Roy, this newly promoted demon lord.
Archangel Uriel took out a book with intense holy light and took a feather from his wings. Then he used this feather to solemnly write the name Osiris in the book.
This book was called the ‘Book of Truth’, and it recorded the names of all the powerful demons that had appeared since the history of the Abyss. Most of them were the names of demon lords and demon kings, and some were high-rank demons.
This was a very mystical book. After a name was recorded in this Book of Truth, as long as the demon fought against any angel in the future, their true demon name would gradually be perceived by the Book of Truth and appear in it. After the entire true name of the demon was recorded in the Book of Truth, no matter which world they went to, angels or exorcists related to angels could use the true demon name recorded in the Book of Truth to expel the demon from the world and even directly obliterate them.
The true name of a demon was the thing closest to their soul. Touching the true name meant touching the soul of the demon. This was why demons would carefully protect their true name from being fully known. And the Book of Truth was a blacklist for demons, a weapon used by angels to assist in the fight against demons.
Of course, Osiris was only a part of Roy’s true demon name. His true demon name was actually a long string. It would not be easy for the Book of Truth to record his entire true name. In fact, since the appearance of the Book of Truth, it had recorded the names of various demon kings, such as Samael, Beelzebub, etc. But up until this day, it only showed the name they often used, and the rest of their name was unknown.
But no matter what, Roy was now on this blacklist. This meant that Heaven was wary of him and paying attention to him. Especially after his name was in the Book of Truth, all the worlds connected to Heaven would know Roy’s demon name. No matter which world he went to in the future, he would be regarded as a great enemy, and he would be unable to keep a low profile even if he wanted to…
