Chapter 372 Fragment World

When the scorching air with the pungent smell of sulfur reappeared in Roy’s nostrils, he knew that he had returned to the Abyss.

However, the moment the Gate of the Abyss closed, he suddenly found that Julia and Benia were not around him, and he was in a bizarre environment.

There was a void of darkness all around him. There was no gravity, and he could not figure out what was up, down, left, and right. For a moment, he thought that he had been teleported to outer space somewhere, but then he found that he could still breathe.

While he was wondering, the dark space changed, and a black vortex appeared in front of him.

Logically speaking, it was not easy to see another type of black in the darkness, but when this black vortex appeared, it was extremely clear in his eyes because it was distorted, and he could see a glimmer of light in the center of it.

“This is... a spatial vortex?” Roy quickly understood.

But before he could figure out a way to move to see what was going on, the vortex disappeared.

He was stunned. He turned and looked around. He spread the demon wings and tried to fly in this strange dark space. But after flapping his wings for a while, he did not know whether he was moving There was no reference in this space, causing his perception to be greatly disturbed. He flew for a while and felt that he seemed to have gone to the spot where the spatial vortex appeared, but he could not tell at all.

At this moment, another spatial vortex appeared, but this time, it was at his feet. He did not know if it was the same spatial vortex that had appeared before, but he did not rush over this time. Instead, he stayed in place and began to count the seconds. Sure enough, after about four seconds, the vortex disappeared.

Then Roy simply stayed where he was and observed. Soon, he noticed the peculiar phenomenon of the spatial vortexes.

The appearance of these spatial vortexes had no pattern at all. They might appear in any direction and at any distance, and they would only exist for about three to ten seconds, which could be said to be fleeting. After observing multiple spatial vortexes appearing at the same time, he realized that they were not the same. Different spatial vortexes seemed to connect to different spaces.

Roy understood a little. After being teleported back by the Gate of the Abyss, he seemed to have directly entered the deep Abyss.

According to the information Roy obtained, this was probably a place that only demon lords could reach. This place was deeper than the Abyss where high-rank demons lived, but no one knew how deep it went. Compared to the Abyss above, the biggest difference was probably the non-continuity of space.

In layman terms, the space here was broken. Precisely because of this, it was impossible for the vast and boundless lands of the Abyss levels above to appear here. Perhaps there was once a massive world here, but because of the shattering of space, this world was scattered into various fragmented spaces and was no longer complete.

And these spatial vortexes that kept appearing should be the entrances to fragment worlds.

After realizing what was going on, Roy could put the space magic he had learned in Ashan to good use. Flying here could not produce a displacement effect. Only by using the anchor point theory in space magic could he pull himself forward.

After finally finding a way to move, he waited for a relatively close spatial vortex to appear. He immediately set the vortex as an anchor point and pulled himself into it.

After he plunged into the vortex, light appeared in front of him the next second, and he appeared in a fragment world. Flames. This world was full of raging flames, and an enormous surging magma river flowed freely on the plains. But what was strange was that the source of this magma river appeared abruptly on a vertical plane, as though... magma was flowing out of nothingness, giving him a weird feeling.

In other words, that should be a breakpoint in space, right? Roy looked at the source thoughtfully. He realized that these so-called shattered spaces did not seem to be completely independent. They seemed to have some mysterious connection with other spaces. Otherwise, this strange situation would not have occurred.

He spread his wings and flew high in the sky to investigate this fragment world. After flying for a while, he found that this fragment world was very small.

This world only had an area of about forty square kilometers, and the size gave him the feeling that it was almost an island. He flew to the end in a few minutes, and at the end, he saw spatial rifts again. These spatial rifts were like a circular sphere that enveloped this small world from all directions.

Space bubble! This term immediately appeared in Roy’s mind, and he felt that it was extremely vivid.

This small world was a plain without many geological environments, but it was apparent from the flames and magma that it was still a part of the Abyss.

But the most bizarre thing was the creatures that Roy saw, the only group of monsters in this small world.

It was a group of extremely ugly six-legged monsters. They were about two meters long and were walking on the ground. In addition to their four limbs, they had a pair of clawed feet on their ribs. Behind them were lizard-like tails. The reason why they were monsters was because of the demon horns on their foreheads. This was proof that they had demon bloodlines.

Roy wanted to test the strength of these monsters, so he threw an icicle down from the sky. Before a six-legged monster could react, it was pierced through and nailed to the ground. It was very weak.

But strangely, although the six-legged monster that Roy killed had given its compatriots a shock, after recovering their senses, the six-legged monsters looked up at him in the sky. But instead of fleeing in fright, they crouched on the ground and expressed their allegiance to him.

Roy shook his head. He did not want to take in such ugly subordinates. The strength of these six-legged monsters was probably only at the low-rank demon level at best. He merely found it strange that these demon creatures would appear in the deep Abyss.

But then he suddenly understood that these demon creatures should be the ‘residents’ of the demon lords.

If Roy chose to settle down in this fragment world, he would undoubtedly become the master of this fragment world. All the creatures in this fragment world would become his subjects, and the reason why these six-legged monsters were so docile was that they had realized this, so they would submit to any demon lord who entered here.

This fragment world was too small, so Roy certainly could not choose this place. But just as he was about to leave, he found something strange.

Among the six-legged monsters, there was a six-legged monster that only had half of its body. But strangely, there was no blood flowing out from the severed part of its waist. Not only was it alive, but it was also moving freely. Just the two front limbs alone allowed it to walk smoothly like the other six-legged monsters.

The feeling it gave was that the lower half of its body had been cut off in some unknown space that moved with it when it moved. So it could move freely.

Seeing this scene, Roy clicked his tongue in surprise. But it also made him realize that these fragmented spaces were not fixed but could continue to split! After all, it was impossible for this halved six-legged monster to live for long like this. This situation where its body was severed should have happened recently. He felt that this was the only explanation.

Hmm... Since these fragment worlds will split, is it possible for them to collide and fuse? Otherwise, no matter how big the original world was, it would become smaller and smaller after innumerable years of splitting. How could they still accommodate demon lords to live on them?

But here comes the problem. If the spaces collided and fused, it would be like two fragment worlds fusing together at different places. Would such a strange continuity appear in the space? For example, there were three pieces of wood, A, B, and C, combined in order. If they separated, they would still be continuous independent entities. But if the positions of the combination changed, and A and C became connected, what would the B piece of wood become?

This halved six-legged monster was still alive, but if the fragmented space where the lower half of its body was fused with another space, would the upper half of its body still be alive? Or would it suddenly spray blood and die? It was too strange. There really were countless bizarre phenomena in the Abyss.

Roy did not intend to stay here any longer. He planned to go out, but when he went out, he did not need to wait for any more spatial vortexes. Instead, he directly transformed his magic power into space magic to envelop his entire body. He would simply find a spatial rift and go through it. With the protection of space magic, when he went through the spatial rift, he would not be affected by the space break.

This was why only demon lords who knew space magic could enter and leave the deep Abyss...

After leaving, he naturally returned to the dark void space. Then he could look for the entrances of other fragment worlds to find a more suitable territory for himself.
