Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 87: Hellboy

With doubts in his mind, Roy asked again carefully. A living demon was right in front of him, and the captain could no longer think, so he answered whatever Roy asked.

As expected, this world’s Hitler had not been defeated by the Allies, and he was still resisting tenaciously. What was even more bizarre was that Roy learned from this captain that Hitler had formed a mysterious army. It was under the leadership of this mysterious army that the Germans had won the crucial battle of Berlin and even managed to counterattack.

From this soldier’s mouth, this mysterious army had astounding combat strength and was fearless of death. Although many of the soldiers had not seen this army before, under the leadership of this mysterious army, they had won again and again. Now, the forces on the Western Front were even attacking the British mainland...

Everything stemmed from that mysterious special army.

Hearing this, Roy felt that he might have figured out where César went after coming to this world. If he did not guess wrongly, this demon César might have already hooked up Hitler...

César was an illusion demon. Although he had not shown much combat strength in his battle with Roy, it should not be forgotten that it was because Roy had created his Eyes of Nightmare in response to his illusion ability. He might be restrained in every way possible against Roy, but when it came to ordinary humans, this illusion ability was an absolute weapon!

Moreover, César himself was an upper-middle-rank demon. His demon blood could also create monsters when consumed by ordinary people. Roy suspected that the so-called mysterious army might be an illusion demon army created by César.

No wonder César wanted to remain in this world. He had a connection with this world’s greatest madman. With the help of César’s extraordinary power, Hitler could reignite the war all over Europe, and with the support of Hitler, César could harvest an ending stream of souls in this world!

Roy could not help but wonder which parallel world could summon demons through black magic during World War II.

What Roy could think of were Hellboy and the Marvel worlds... But after thinking about it carefully, judging from the repulsive force of this world, Roy realized it might not be the Marvel world. In a high-energy plane like that, even if Roy did not sign a demon contract, he would still be able to stay for a long time, instead of just one month like now.

In that case, it was most likely the Hellboy world!

Of course, it could also be an unknown world to Roy. But in any case, Roy at least had an idea. To verify it, he only needed to see if there was a demon like Hellboy.

After thinking about it, Roy looked at the remaining German soldiers. The two-hundred-odd troops only had dozens left. All of them had panicked expressions. They were probably worried that Roy would kill them after the questioning.

However, on the contrary, Roy did not intend to kill them but planned to let them go.

This was what Roy was thinking. Although he had roughly guessed that César might be collaborating with Hitler, Roy was unfamiliar with this world and would not be able to find César even if he knew about it. Who knew if he would be hiding in Berlin or Hamburg? The memory crystal could no longer indicate the whereabouts of the Balotan Pillar, so it was naturally impossible to determine where César was. Therefore, Roy felt that he needed information!

And if he did not guess wrongly, Hitler might be able to fool the low-level soldiers about the fact that he was getting help from a demon. But he might not necessarily be unable to conceal it from the upper echelons of the Allies. Perhaps they were also very anxious about it. If they were to know that a demon was chasing after the demon that was in cahoots with Hitler, then Roy believed that the Allies would be more than happy to provide information on the location of this demon!

Even if they did not have it, they would probably find a way to obtain it, even if they had to sacrifice countless intelligence agents...

This would undoubtedly save Roy a lot of time...

Of course, it was impossible for Roy, a demon, to go to the Allied headquarters. If he really did so, he might be greeted with countless artillery fire before even reaching it.

Therefore, the best way to transmit this news was with these German soldiers in front of him. This place was Birmingham, within British territory, and there should be many Allied soldiers here. If he let these soldiers leave, it would be very easy for the Allied forces to capture this group of defeated soldiers. At that time, the Allies could interrogate them and obtain the news.

Therefore, Roy said to the captain and the other soldiers, “My name is Osiris! Demon from the endless Abyss. A gate opened in your world, and a powerful demon escaped here. I am here to kill this traitor! I’m guessing that the so-called mysterious army of your leader was created by this demon. I will let you go now. But if you don’t want your world to be destroyed, then you better spread this news and let me find this demon!”

After hearing Roy’s words, the soldiers stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The Führer... is actually getting help from a demon?! How is this possible?!

No, no. Don’t believe him. He’s also a demon. What if it’s all a lie and a scheme of the Allies?!

Roy could tell from the soldiers’ eyes that they did not believe him. After all, he had the identity of a demon, so he did not plan to explain further. He just said, “Okay, you can go. But if you encounter me again, your souls will belong to me!”

Upon hearing Roy’s words, the soldiers involuntarily shivered and scrambled away.

Roy collected the souls of the deceased and heavily injured German soldiers. In the end, Roy obtained more than 140 souls.

These souls were relatively large and had abundant soul power. This was naturally because they were terrified during their battle with Roy. From this, Roy discovered the situation where the more scientifically advanced a world was, the easier it was for ordinary humans to fear demons. It was because they rarely saw supernatural creatures. For some races in high-magic worlds, the soul power of their souls might not necessarily increase because they had seen too many demons.

Roy turned these 140-plus souls into a Magic Energy Growth Potion. After consuming it, his magic energy attribute increased by over a hundred points. Roy’s magic energy attribute had now exceeded six hundred!

Indeed, these other worlds were truly the best places for demons. Compared to the increasingly barren Abyss, the other worlds had a lot of souls.

Over the next three days, Roy waited in the village ruins. He practiced his frost magic power while waiting for the arrival of the Allies. He believed that the Allies would definitely find him.

As expected, in the evening three days later, an army appeared, carefully approaching the village ruins.

“Woof!” Fat Tiger growled at Roy, indicating that he smelled a familiar scent. It was the scent of the captain from three days ago.

It seemed Roy had guessed right. The one leading this army was indeed the captain that Roy had released earlier. Moreover, it seemed like he was not captured by the Allies but had run to them to surrender himself, presumably because of what Roy had said at that time, which had made him very uneasy.

As he neared the village, the captain refused to go inside and shouted loudly at the Allied officers in German.

He probably still remembered what Roy said, fearing that Roy would take away his soul if he saw him again...

Roy was sitting on a tall wall in the village ruins, watching this scene. After entering the village, the Allies also discovered Roy. There was a commotion in the entire army, and some of the soldiers held their guns anxiously, but their officers shouted at them to stop to make sure that they did not act rashly.

Finally, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and glasses walked over with a group of soldiers behind him.

“You... are you Demon Osiris?” the middle-aged man wearing glasses asked carefully while looking at Roy in surprise.

“Who are you?” Roy asked while looking down at him.

“I am Professor Broom!” the middle-aged man said. “Can we... talk?”

Roy grinned, but this grin was terrifying to the others. He did not say anything and pointed his finger at Professor Broom.

The next second, Broom’s body floated into the air and was dragged toward the tall wall by Roy’s Psychokinesis.

The Allied officer and guards were so shocked that they nearly jumped and grabbed their guns in a flurry. However, even though Broom was flustered in midair, he was still quite calm. He quickly expressed that he was fine and told everyone not to worry.

After pulling him onto the tall wall, Roy said, “Good. It seems like I can indeed communicate with you...”

“Then, let me introduce myself again. I am Broom, Trevor Broom! Consultant of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense!” Broom was a little excited. “Are... are you really from Hell?”

“We call it the Abyss!” Roy said. “However, Hell and the Abyss are actually one and the same!”

“Um, okay, the Abyss!” Broom coughed and said, “Let me ask you, do you think all... demons will look like you in the future?”

“Why do you ask?” Roy asked in puzzlement.

“Actually... the reason I mustered my courage to face you was because... we obtained a... umm, demon before!” Broom said. “I-I brought him here this time... Because I don’t know if you are his compatriot, I wanted to ask.”

“Oh? Where is he?” Roy asked.

Broom quickly waved at the people below the tall wall. The Allied officers hesitated but still walked out of the village. From inside a tank’s hull, they brought out a... little demon!

When he saw this little demon, Roy finally confirmed that this place was really the Hellboy world...

At this time, Hellboy was merely a little demon with fiery red skin, immature demon horns, and a tail behind him. He was similar to most of the little demons born in the birthplaces. Even Roy had looked more or less like this.

The little demon was very uneasy when he was carried out. He hastily climbed up the tall wall as soon as he saw Broom on it.

He only noticed Roy after he climbed up. He was shocked, screamed, and shrank into his Broom’s embrace. He could feel the strong aura from Roy and kept trembling.

However, Roy was slightly disappointed. According to judging criteria of the Abyss, this so-called Hellboy was actually just a low-rank demon, without demon wings and with a mixed bloodline. If he stayed in this world after he grew up, he would never be able to refine his bloodline and obtain magic power. He would forever be a low-rank demon.

Only these humans who did not understand the Abyss would think that Hellboy was very powerful...

However, Roy could feel a power from this little demon, the power of a demon contract, so he asked Broom curiously, “You signed a demon contract with him?”

“Huh? What is a demon contract?” Broom was confused.

“Did you give him anything when he appeared?” Roy asked in a different way.

“Um... I-I gave him some food!” Broom replied.

“That’s right!” Roy said. “The food you offered him was silently treated as an offering! When he accepted your offering, the contract was signed. It was just that you humans could not see it!”

Broom looked dumbfounded. “I-I didn’t know. At that time, I only thought that this little guy was pitiful and wanted to take care of him...”

Roy could not help but sigh in his heart. How did the situation of humans finding demons pitiful happen? What kind of brains resulted in such a situation? However, after hearing all of this, Roy understood why Hellboy could stay in this world for a long time. He and Broom had signed a contract without realizing it, and because Broom wanted to take care of this little demon, he had not set a contractual period. Thus, he tacitly agreed that the contract would continue indefinitely. This was why a little demon from the Abyss could keep growing up in this world...
