The four apostles in Devil Flame City had transformed into demons. At that moment, their visions were blocked, and they suddenly felt a scorching heat in front of them. They could not help but stop in their tracks in shock. They carefully observed the position where the light was coming from.
When Dave saw Vincent, his eyes lit up and he immediately asked excitedly, “Vincent, you’re back. Have we succeeded?”
Vincent nodded slightly and said softly, “Bring the others back to the city first and take care of the wounded properly. We will discuss the rest when I return!”
Dave could not hide his excitement at that moment. He wanted to stay and fight with Vincent, but he was stopped by Ebenezer.
“Let’s go! Since master has arrived, we have to take care of this place. It’ll be over in a minute! Remove your tricks as well. There’s no need for master to use such tricks!”
Ebenezer spoke confidently. He then pulled Dave toward the city gates without explaining any further.
Dave turned his head to look at Vincent with a reluctant expression. He could not bring himself to ask the questions in his heart. However, at that moment, he had to consider the bigger picture. He could not stay and create trouble for Vincent.
However, Dave really wanted to ask if the danger in Serene Spring City had been averted.
He also wanted to know what kind of danger was there in Imperial City and whether Vincent had really become a god of the Elf Race.
Those questions were related to the survival of the Elf Race. Therefore, Dave really wanted to ask whether the Elf Race, which he had been worried about all along, indeed had hope.
“Stop!”
Dave and Ebenezer walked to the city gate and raised their hands to put away the special effect of the Inquisitive God of the World.
The four demons on the battlefield could suddenly see again. They realized that the person in front of them was no longer Dave and Ebenezer. Instead, it was a person whose entire body was burning with flames. Vincent spread his twelve Flaming Wings behind him. At the same time, the two girls were also standing quietly behind him.
“Who are you?”
The four demons asked cautiously because they could sense a dangerous aura from Vincent, so they did not dare to be careless.
Vincent shouted calmly, “The person who wants your lives!”
The four demons looked at each other. There was shock in their eyes, but there was no fear.
Of course, they could guess that the person in front of them was the powerhouse who had killed Jessica and the other five apostles. However, there were four of them working together at that moment. They believe that they would not end up like Jessica and the others, who would go up one by one to die. Therefore, the odds of winning were still very high!
A demon stood out and pointed at Vincent. He sneered, “A mere outsider dares to be presumptuous in front of us. Do you really think that you are invincible after killing a few apostles? Today, we will let you know what the strongest combat power of the Elf Race is!”
Vincent was not in a hurry to make a move because he had already stopped the demons in Serene Spring City. Therefore, there was nothing important to deal with, thus, he said in a low voice, “You seem to have made a mistake! Now that you are all demons, you cannot be considered as part of the Elf Race! Moreover, with your strength, you do not have the strongest combat power in the Elf Race! You are not worthy!”
The few demons did not have the slightest excuse for their identities. Instead, they were curious about the strongest combat power that Vincent had mentioned. They asked back, “We don’t have the strongest combat power? Then who does? Who else is worthy?”
Vincent shouted, “Me!”
The four demons frowned as they looked at Vincent. It was not that they had not thought of this answer in their hearts, but they quickly denied it.
This was because Vincent was a foreigner and was not a member of the Elf Race. No matter how strong he was, he was not qualified to be the strongest one amongst the Elf Race!
A demon mocked loudly, “You really have no sense of shame, kid. Who do you think you are to say that you are the strongest in the Elf Race?”
Vincent’s lips suddenly curled into a sneer. He said in a deep voice, “Why not? I am now the true God of the Elf Race, and I hold the divine spark passed down by the Fire Elf King. If I am not a member of the Elf Race, then do you think those trash who betrayed their ancestors and sold their race are part of the Elf Race?”
The four demons who were suddenly scolded did not show any anger. Instead, they looked at Vincent with shock and joy.
Previously, the other apostles did not believe that an outsider who could kill apostles had appeared in Elf World. This was because they did not believe that there was an existence stronger than the demons in the Black Hole World.
It was not until the news of the apostles being killed spread that the remaining apostles felt that everyone was in danger. Even their faith in the Demon Race was showing signs of crumbling.
How could there be another race that was strong enough to kill members of the Demon Race?
After hearing Vincent personally admitting that he had inherited the Fire Elf King’s divine spark, the four demons finally understood everything.
Most elves did not know the uniqueness of the divine sparks, but powerful apostles like them did. Mastering a divine spark was equivalent to possessing the corresponding laws and attributes. It could also directly increase a person’s strength by five levels. This meant that Vincent had increased in strength as he had inherited the divine spark from the Fire Elf King.
With that thought in mind, the four demons were not afraid of Vincent. This was because the divine sparks belonged to the elves. Since Vincent could retrieve the divine spark and become stronger, they could also perfectly control divine sparks as they were once experts of the Elf Race. By then, not only would they become stronger, but they could even break the seal of the demons on their strength. From then on, they could rise to a higher level and become the top expert among the demons!
“So, he became so strong because of the divine spark. If we kill him and seize his divine spark, wouldn’t we be able to break through our current level and directly become a level 50 creature?”
“But there’s only one divine spark. There are four of us. How do we split it?”
“Don’t worry about splitting it first. The four of us have to work together. After we kill him and seize his divine spark, we’ll have a long-term plan. In short, no matter who gets the divine spark, we have to protect the others in the future!”
“Okay, it’s settled then!”
The four demons immediately came to an agreement and avoided the hidden dangers brought about by the unequal distribution. Then, they looked at Vincent greedily together.
At that moment, Vincent was no longer a powerful and terrifying opponent in the eyes of the four demons. Instead, he was their hope of ascending to the sky in one step!
Vincent listened to the discussion of the four demons who shared a common enemy and smiled disdainfully. He then slowly raised his arms. Five halos of different colors suddenly floated above his head.
The pure white halo represented the divine spark of light.
The blue and white halo represented the divine spark of thunder.
The green halo represented the divine spark of wood.
The yellow halo represented the divine spark of Earth.
The almost colorless halo represented the divine spark of water.
Every divine spark emitted a very powerful and dazzling pressure, which made every elf want to kneel and salute.
Even the four apostles who had evolved into demons could feel the pressure in the depths of their bloodlines. They almost knelt to Vincent on the spot.
Vincent said to the four demons calmly, “You don’t have to worry about not having enough divine sparks. I have plenty of divine sparks with me! As long as you can defeat me, these divine sparks will be yours!”
Vincent’s eyes were filled with disdain.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s attack together!”
One of the demons shouted and charged toward Vincent.
The rest of the demons were also completely consumed by greed. They formed a triangle and surrounded Vincent.
Avril and Angelina, who had been standing behind Vincent, did not say a word. They did not even react when they saw the four demons trying to surround them. They even looked dispirited and did not have the intention to fight back.
Vincent, on the other hand, slowly took out the Cup of Fate and raised it in front of him.
“Alchemy Furnace!”
Following Vincent’s shout, four big hands immediately stretched out from the Cup of Fate and grabbed the four demons across the sky.
“What, what is this thing?”
“We’ve fallen into a trap! This is not an ability given by the divine spark!”
The four demons struggled in the large hands as they shouted with all their might. Their eyes were filled with fear and regret.
Vincent sneered and said, “It’s true that I have the divine spark, but who told you that when I killed Jessica and the others, I needed to rely on the divine spark’s ability? You are the ones who overestimated yourselves. You are the ones who looked at the sky from the bottom of a well, and you are the ones who betrayed Elf Race, so you really deserve to die!”
Vincent’s voice of judgment fell like thunder. In an instant, the four demons who were captured by the Cup of Fate was soon dragged into the Cup of Fate by the huge arm. No matter how they struggled, they appeared very powerless. They could not stop their fate from being refined at all!
“Stop! We surrender! We surrender! Please don’t kill us!”
“We are willing to cooperate with you! There are other apostles attacking Serene Spring City right now. If you let us go, we can take you to them!”
“As long as you let us go, we can do whatever you want, even if you want the Origin Divine Earth!”
“That’s right, we all know where the Origin Divine Earth is located. As long as you show us mercy, we can give it to you every year…”
The four demons struggled hard as they fought to make a deal with Vincent. They wanted to keep their lives through the deal. However, before they could even finish speaking, they were absorbed by the Cup of Fate.
Vincent gripped the Cup of Fate tightly and roared, “Refine it for me!”
The Cup of Fate immediately emitted a purplish-black light, followed by the screams of the four demons.
The screams did not last long and soon disappeared completely. Only the purest energy was left behind in the Cup of Fate.
However, the energy was not psionic power, but pure Demon World energy. It could not be used to increase Vincent’s strength and could only be used as an upgrade material for the Cup of Fate.
“Merge!”
As Vincent gave another order, the Cup of Fate suddenly shone brightly and demonically.
