Chapter 557: Red Moon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Roy and Lilith returned to the Chaos Sanctuary, the nephalem army and the Abyss demon army were already withdrawing.
The surviving nephalem returned to Sanctuary through a portal, while the
Abyss demons were ordered to return to the Abyss. This order caused some Abyss demons to become restless at first, but they were quickly suppressed by Julia, Benia, and the others.
In fact, there were still many demons in the Burning Hells. They didn’t know the plans of the seven demon kings, so they thought that the demon kings had already lost. When they saw Diablo and Mephisto being killed, the remaining demons fled in panic. Now that they were scattered in the seven realms of the Burning Hells, it was impossible for Roy and Lilith to find them one by one to eliminate them, so they could only let them be for the time being.
Fortunately, shadow storms were currently raging in this space, and these storms were indirectly killing some of the surviving Hell demons. Even if there were still some left in the end, the shadow crystal had already been destroyed, so these demons could no longer be reborn in the Burning Hells. They could be left for the nephalem explorers to eliminate slowly in the future.
After leaving the Burning Hells, Roy only had a group of demon lords left, and Lilith instructed the necromancers of the Priests of Rathma. Then the nephalem bowed to her and left.
They would bring the news of their victory back to Sanctuary..
“Get your people to stay here. Come with me!” Lilith turned around and said to Roy before flying into the sky.
Roy got Julia and the others to stay here and wait before flying away with Lilith. But what he didn’t expect was that she didn’t fly to a place in Sanctuary but instead brought him all the way to the clouds.
“Where are we going?” Roy asked in confusion. “Didn’t you say you wanted to restore your strength?”
“We’re… going to space!” Lilith’s answer surprised Roy.
Although he was very puzzled, he still followed her and flew up. When he approached the atmosphere of Sanctuary, he could feel the air becoming thinner and thinner, and the surface arc of Sanctuary began to appear.
“Accelerate. We have to escape gravity!” Lilith told Roy without looking back. Then she folded her demon wings and turned into a stream of light to continue breaking through.
Roy could only follow suit.
Two flying meteors streaked through the darkness. When they completely left the planet and entered space, the surroundings had become a vacuum and were full of dark colors. Only the side where the sun continued to shine was full of glorious colors. Sanctuary looked quite beautiful at this moment.
However, Lilith didn’t stop and look back. Instead, she flew straight toward the moon.
This was real space, not Trag’Oul’s illusory dream. Roy and Lilith were both demon kings, and it was easy for them to survive and fly in space. Moreover, their speed was not slow. From time to time, Lilith would cut open a spatial channel in front of her and use it to travel long distances.
Roy could tell that Lilith probably wanted to go to the moon. He wanted to ask her why she wanted to go there, but he found a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of excitement. After thinking about it, he didn’t ask and just followed her.
About ten hours later, the moon satellite flying with Sanctuary was already in sight. At close range, the moon was shockingly large. Roy noticed that there were craters of various sizes on this desolate-looking moon.
The moon was slowly moving along its orbit. The part facing the sun was full of light, but the dark side was pitch-black. Roy thought that Lilith would go to the dark side of the moon, but he didn’t expect her to go in an arc and instead go to the light side.
After arriving in the sky above the moon, Lilith began to land. She quickly swooped down toward the moon, and even Roy could feel her urgency. After finally landing, she sent a voice transmission to him. “Okay, let’s do it here!”
Roy landed and tried to walk two steps. He found that it was a little difficult to adapt to being so light, but he didn’t care. He asked Lilith through soul transmission, “Why are we here on the moon?”
“Energy, I need some energy from the sun!” Lilith replied. “In Sanctuary, the energy of sunlight is weakened, but it’s different on the moon. This place is closer to the sun.”
With that, she didn’t give him time to answer and summoned her Blood Sea on the spot.
The Blood Sea that Lilith summoned this time was unprecedentedly massive. The endless tide of red blood surged out in all directions like a dam opening its floodgate. In the blink of an eye, it covered hundreds of square kilometers of the moon. But this wasn’t the end. Lilith was still frowning and persisting, continuously expanding her Blood Sea.
Roy looked at this scene in astonishment. His feet were also surrounded by the Blood Sea. Looking at the sea expanding into the distance, he immediately understood that Lilith was planning to cover the entire surface of the moon facing the sun with the Blood Sea!
She wanted to use this method to absorb the sunlight shining on the moon!
Can she do it? Roy looked at Lilith worriedly. Although the moon was much smaller than Sanctuary, it was probably tens of millions of square kilometers wide. Could her strength support such an immense Blood Sea?
It wasn’t good for him to ask now. He could tell that she was doing her best, so he didn’t dare to disturb her. After thinking about it, he flew into the sky and found a suitable position to look down at the spreading Blood Sea on the moon.
The scarlet blood tide was still rushing into the distance like angry waves. The surface of the moon was quickly dyed blood-red at a visible speed. When it expanded to millions of square kilometers, Roy noticed that Lilith’s body seemed to be trembling slightly, looking like she was struggling. So he quickly landed on the ground, took out a tube of Magic Power Potion, and brought it to her mouth.
Although he didn’t explain, she seemed to know what it was. Without even thinking, she raised her head and drank it. After drinking the Magic Power Potion, her body stabilized a little before continuing to close her eyes and expand the Blood Sea.
At this moment, on the moon, everything was red as far as the eye could see. The people on Sanctuary poked their heads out of their homes and looked at the moon in the night sky. They looked at it in amazement. The once bright moon was gradually turning red, as red as blood!
Red Moon!! !
The mortals didn’t know what was happening on the moon, but this blood-like red moon caused them to panic. They thought that something ominous was happening again, so they hid at home and began to pray.
But this time, the prayers of mortals had changed from their faith in angels and holy light to prayers to Lilith, the mother of humanity…
The wise people and astrologers of Sanctuary were also looking at the night sky in puzzlement, but they were mostly recording the appearance of the red moon…
Julia and the others might be the only ones on the ground who knew what was going on, but they only knew that Roy and Lilith might have caused this red moon. As for the exact situation, they didn’t understand because it was too far away, so they could only continue waiting anxiously on the ground.
About two hours later, Lilith’s Blood Sea finally covered the entire surface of the moon. The turbulent Blood Sea gradually calmed down, and only slight ripples appeared, reflecting the sunlight.
As for Lilith, her complexion was much paler than before. All the magic power in her body was empty. If Roy wasn’t supporting her, she would have fallen into the Blood Sea. Even though she was a demon king, maintaining such a massive Blood Sea was a bit beyond her ability.
Roy took out Magic Power Potions in his inventory and fed them to her one after another. As he fed her, he sent a voice transmission. “Your commotion this time is too big. I finally understand why you came to the moon. If this huge Blood Sea had spread on Sanctuary, it would have devoured all the land, right?”
After drinking the Magic Power Potions, Lilith looked much better. She threw away the test tubes and gestured for Roy to let go of her before taking out the seed of the Red Sea Egg from her storage space.
She gently released the seed of the Red Sea Egg and let it fall into the Blood
Sea. The next second, countless thick roots emerged from the sea and fluttered into the distance. In the middle of the roots, the flower buds of the Red Sea Egg appeared and continued to grow.
Lilith had summoned such an enormous Blood Sea, but the energy absorbed was not for herself but for the Red Sea Egg! All the absorbed sunlight energy was transmitted to the Red Sea Egg, bringing about its unprecedented super growth!
From the initial tens of centimeters in diameter to a few meters in diameter, tens of meters, hundreds of meters, and thousands of meters! Roy was surprised to witness the birth of a gigantic Red Sea Egg. Under the support of the huge roots, the Red Sea Egg finally grew into a colossus of about five kilometers in diameter and nine kilometers in height!
In other words, what appeared in front of Roy was a mountain as tall as Mount Everest!
“Damn… What does Lilith want to do?!” Standing in front of this mountain, Roy looked very small. He had never thought that the Red Sea Egg could grow to this extent. He thought that being four to five meters tall was already the limit of the Red Sea Egg.
But looking at it now, he finally realized that this so-called ‘Creator’s Petri Dish’ was probably bigger, and its current state might not be its final state.
It had to be known that this was an item that had bred titans…
It turns out that the Red Sea Egg I obtained back then was such a powerful thing! Fortunately I didn’t throw it away…
