Just as Vincent and Irene reached an agreement, an explosion suddenly came from the nearby housing area. The explosion instantly caught everyone’s attention.
After seeing the scene, Ebenezer could not help but ask, “Could it be that the demons have broken in again? But who are they fighting with?”
Vincent and Irene looked around at the same time, and said in unison, “Lilis!”
Kurt immediately raised his hand and pressed on his temple. He said in a deep voice, “I didn’t arrange Lilis’s housing, but according to my scan, there are living things in the explosion room area. However, due to the excessive heat, I can’t determine the exact number of living things!”
Vincent said to the crowd without any hesitation, “Whether or not there is a demon invasion, we have to find Lilis immediately and kill our way out of the Black Hole. We have to seal the Black Hole before the other demons find this place!”
The others nodded in agreement.
Vincent immediately rushed to the place where the explosion occurred. The dozens of demon puppets under his control formed an army formation and followed behind Vincent.
Kurt followed closely behind Vincent. Avril and Angelina stood by Irene’s side. They followed behind Vincent from a distance.
Although Irene was able to train and had obtained a very powerful godly body, she was still too weak. Someone had to protect her.
Ebenezer opened the space door at the same time Vincent set off. He led Guru Harson and Daniel to the explosion area silently.
In a quiet city with relatively small houses, Lilis walked out of the alley amidst the billowing smoke. She held her chest with one hand and supported herself against the wall with the other. She panted with difficulty, her expression unsightly.
Immediately after that, amidst the smoke-filled alley behind Lilis came the sound of hurried footsteps. Lilis had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue walking into the city.
“Faster! Capture that beast and we will be able to report our mission status! Lord Gajero hates this race so much that he gnashes his teeth whenever he speaks about them. Once we capture her, it will be a great achievement!”
Three demons ran out of the black fog in succession and quickly walked forward to surround Lilis.
Lilis only had the strength of a level 29 creature, but the three demons had the strength of level 40 and above. However, they did not go forward rashly because they had already suffered a great loss earlier. Therefore, they were very afraid of Lilis.
Lilis looked at the three demons with determination. She reached into her waist pouch and took out six strange metal balls the size of walnuts.
Those metal balls looked ordinary, and some were even rusted. It was as if they were made of some broken parts. They did not have the slightest deterrent force.
However, when the three demons saw the metal balls in Lilis’s hands, they subconsciously took a step back, as if they were scared to death.
“Even if I die today, I will drag all of you down with me! Today, I will definitely take revenge on all of you for the oppression that Beast Race suffered in the past!”
Lilis shouted at the three demons with a face full of hatred. Her eyes were filled with a sense of righteousness that was ready to face death.
The three demons looked at each other. For a moment, they did not know what to do.
They were just ordinary soldiers of the Demon Race. They had never participated in the decision-making process, and they did not know what choice they should make under such circumstances.
At that moment, the demon who had called out to his teammates earlier said with some hesitation, “Actually, we demons can’t die. Even if we are injured by her, it is possible for us to recover from all the injuries sustained but if we get hit in our demon core, then we may die. Why don’t we give it a try and kill her at the risk of getting injured?”
The remaining two demon soldiers shook their heads one after another, displaying unprecedented decisiveness.
If the proposal just now was only the first half of the sentence, then the other two demon soldiers would definitely agree to try to kill Lilis. However, as the demon mentioned the demon core, the remaining demon soldiers with immortal bodies could not help but feel fearful.
Although she knew of the incompetence of the demon soldiers, Lilis did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. This was because she knew that the difference in strength between the enemy and herself was too great, and the foothold she had found was too remote. The reinforcements in the city were unable to arrive at that moment. There were only two outcomes waiting for her. Either she would be killed by the three demons in front of her, or they would all die together.
As a rare genius of the Beast Race, an expert who had wandered alone in the Black Hole World for many years, Lilis decisively chose the latter. She took advantage of the opportunity when the three demons were conversing and threw the iron ball in her hand.
After the iron ball was thrown, it landed straight at the feet of the three demons. The moment it landed, the round metal shell automatically fell off, revealing an even more peculiar thing inside. It looked like a folded piece of paper, but it was also like a piece of strange metal. After losing the restraint of its metal shell, it automatically spread outward, revealing a tiny array formation.
“Boom!”
The moment the array formation appeared, an explosion occurred. The explosion caused the surrounding houses to collapse.
The aftershock of the explosion was not weak and spread out fiercely in all directions.
The three demons who were at the center of the explosion were swallowed by the fire. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead. As for Lilis, she looked at the approaching fire and closed her eyes helplessly.
At that moment, she no longer cared about the lives of those demons. Even if they were only slightly injured in the end, Sir Vincent would seize the opportunity to eliminate them!
As long as she could kill three demons for the Beast Race, Lilis was willing to die!
However, just as the flames were about to devour Lilis, more than ten black figures instantly appeared in front of her. They endured the fatal flames for her.
Lilis opened her eyes with a blank look. She became even more confused. She noticed that there were more than ten demons defending her!
Moreover, those ten demons were looking at the three demons who survived the explosion with anger on their faces because of her.
A rather dignified demon walked up and asked in a deep voice, “Which team are you from? What are you doing here?”
When the three demons saw the other demons, they no longer cared about their burnt skin. They quickly knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “We are members of the seventh team. We got lost on the way to search for the Black Hole World and accidentally came here. Please forgive us, my lords!”
The leader of the demons was stunned for a second and then asked, “Then you should know my identity!”
The three demons who were kneeling on the ground kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic. They quickly said, “Yes, yes! You are the personal guards of General Nicholas!”
At the same time, in a small alley just a wall away from Lilis, Vincent was observing the movements of the three demons through the shared vision of the puppets. He raised his hand to stop Kurt who was about to go forward.
Vincent then turned around and waved his arm. A large amount of spider thread shot out continuously from the Doom Armor, forming an incomparably large web in the alley. The web blocked the entire path successfully.
Vincent turned around and told Kurt, “Kurt, go back and inform everybody of the situation. Don’t act rashly for the time being. I’ve thought of a better solution!”
Kurt did not hesitate at all toward Vincent’s order. He immediately turned around and told Irene and the others to wait for Vincent’s plan.
Vincent continued to control the demon puppets from afar to question the three demons casually. He did not want to know anything in particular from them; he just wanted to buy some time!
Shortly after that, Vincent took out his Cup of Fate once again with an expectant look in his eyes.
Vincent had obtained the new demonization skill after refining many demons. The skill enabled him to maintain his demon form for nine hours. Plus, with Vincent’s transformation skill, he could transform into a demon at will!
The demon puppets under Vincent’s control were all Nicholas’s personal guards. It would be a pity if he did not take this opportunity to make good use of them!
Vincent activated the Cup of Fate with full confidence. A large amount of demonic aura spurted out of the Cup of Fate and wrapped around Vincent. Finally, it condensed into a demon who was almost two meters tall.
Vincent then modified his face to reflect Nicholas’s. He then transformed himself into Nicholas.
The demon puppets soon ran out of questions. They had to forcefully find a topic to chat with the three demons who were kneeling on the ground, Vincent finally completed his transformation. Although he did not look 100% like Nicholas, it was enough to make him look real.
“What’s the matter? It’s so noisy!”
Vincent roared and jumped toward the wall behind him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared coldly at the three demons who were trembling all over.
At that moment, Vincent realized that his meticulous arrangement was a little redundant because the three demon soldiers did not dare to raise their heads to look at him. Even if his disguise was cruder, they would not notice it at all!
Lilis’s face had long turned ashen. Her back was up against the wall. She looked at the increasing number of demons and felt hopeless. At the same time, she was shouting in her heart anxiously, “Why is Sir Vincent not here yet?”
“Reporting to General, we, we are lost. We accidentally walked through here and offended the General’s heavenly might. Please forgive us!”
The three demons quickly apologized.
Vincent felt relieved. This was because there were only three demons around. Therefore, there was no need to carry out a large-scale purge.
Vincent said in a deep voice, “I have already investigated this world. There are no problems here. You should return to the Black Hole World and find your own team. Then, inform the other teams to gather. I have an important decision to announce to everyone!”
After the three demons heard Vincent’s magnanimous order, they could not help but say with joy, “General, please rest assured. We will definitely complete the mission that you have given us as soon as possible!”
Vincent nodded with great satisfaction and said, “Not bad. Your performance is very satisfactory, so I have decided to give you a small gift!”
The three demons who were kneeling on the ground did not expect to receive a reward from General Nicholas even though they had lost their way. For a moment, they could not help but imagine that they would be appreciated by General Nicholas from then on. They would reach new peaks in life as a member of the army.
However, Vincent did not make any move even after a while. One of the demons finally raised his head and ask, “What kind of reward is the general going to give us?”
“Look!”
Vincent smiled and waved his hand. He opened a space door beside him. He stretched out his left hand and dragged the Cosmic Thread out of the space tunnel.
The gift that he was going to give the three demons was the transparent thread that fell from the sky!
The three demons, who were only level 42 creatures, did not have the time to react to what had happened. Their eyes instantly glazed over, and they slowly stood up like puppets. They then proceeded to join the other group of puppet-like demons.
Vincent looked at the increasing number of puppets and said in a deep voice, “Go and guard the entrance of the Black Hole. Do not let any creatures in, especially the demons that are nearby. You must instruct them to gather in the Black Hole World. There is no need for them to enter this world!”
The demon puppets that were under his control regarded every word that Vincent said as a golden rule. They did not remember what was right and what was wrong. They turned around and started to set off in the direction of the Black Hole.
The small-town that Vincent was in was not far from the Black Hole of the Spirit Race. It happened to be within the control range of the Cosmic Thread. This enabled him to build a defensive line in front of the Black Hole.
Vincent wanted to make full use of those demons. He wanted them to spread the word and gather the remaining demons. This way, more and more demons would gather in the Black Hole World. They would not have the time to invade other worlds. At the same time, he wanted to seize the chance to control the 26th Demon Corps!
As long as he could control the entire 26th Demon Corps, Vincent would have a powerful and obedient army behind him. At the same time, he could ensure his own safety.
After all the demon puppets left, Vincent turned around and walked in front of Lilis. He stretched out his hand.
Lilis looked at Vincent with a nervous look and asked with a vigilant look, “You, what are you doing?”
She did not believe that a demon could be so kind-hearted. Not only did he save her, but he also wanted to help her up. As the saying went, “If you’re trying to curry favor for no reason, you’re either evil or have stolen something!”
Only then did Vincent remember that he was still a demon. He quickly controlled the Cup of Fate and ended the demonization skill. He soon returned to his normal appearance.
When Lilis saw the demon in front of her transformed into someone wearing a dark golden armour, her eyes were filled with both excitement and nervousness. She then carefully asked, “You, who are you?”
Vincent shook his head and smiled, “I’m Vincent, who had promised to bring you back to reunite with the Beast Race! We met in the underground of the capital of Ultimate Evil!”
Lilis immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She grabbed onto Vincent’s hand and stood up. She quickly asked, “How did you turn into a demon? Could it be that you have been contaminated by the Demon Race?”
Vincent spread his hands and said with a smile, “Contaminated? How could that be?”
However, Lilis said with a serious expression, “Within the high-level races of the Black Hole world, most of the newly born members are too weak to survive. Therefore, many high-level races have created a more convenient method of reproduction. That is, through the uniqueness of their own race, they can force other races to become their own race. Those high-level races claim that this behavior is to promote low-level creatures. The Demon Race has such an ability!”
Vincent suddenly thought of the twelve apostles of the Elf Race. They had received gifts from Gajero. Those gifts allowed them to become demons permanently and join the Demon Race.
“So that was just a method used by the Demon Race to reproduce! If the twelve apostles did not die, they would most likely become ordinary soldiers of the Demon Race. This is probably the main reason why the demons can continue invading other worlds!”
Vincent muttered and then thought of something. He lowered his head and looked at his left arm.
Lilis looked at Vincent talking to himself and could not help but ask curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Vincent raised his head. He smiled bitterly and said, “I was able to transform into the appearance of a demon because of this special equipment. My psionic power will not undergo a qualitative change, but I seem to have been contaminated by other races!”
Lilis asked with a shocked expression, “What? You are already so powerful. Which race can affect you?”
Vincent sighed helplessly, “The Protoss, the God Race. Some call them the Observers!”
Lilis was instantly speechless. She looked at Vincent blankly because she did not know whether she should sympathize with him or envy him.
Being contaminated by the Demon Race could be said to be a problem because many creatures hated the Demon Race and were ashamed to become one of them.
However, being contaminated by the God Race was equivalent to having the right to become a member of the most noble race among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. Vincent could be considered to be extremely lucky in anyone’s eyes!
Nevertheless, there was not a trace of joy on Vincent’s face. Instead, there was an endless haze!
Lilis asked softly, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem too happy?”
Vincent took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “When I was very weak, I thought that my final opponent was Gajero. I was also constantly getting stronger and working hard for the final victory. But now, it seems that I have one more opponent, and that is the Protoss! If I don’t want to be contaminated, I can only wipe out the Protoss completely!”
Lilis subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud. Vincent’s decision was too terrifying!
Vincent continued, “Being born as a human is the greatest pride of my life. No living creature can change my race. If anyone dares to do this, I will not rest until they are dead! Since I am determined to slay the demons, then what is the harm in killing the gods? Therefore, I will continue to become stronger. No matter what method I use, as long as I can increase my strength in a short period of time, it will be fine!”
Lilis looked at the mad Vincent and could not help but say worriedly, “You must not lose yourself because you are in a hurry to increase your strength. Be careful not to fall because of your impatience!”
Vincent nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I am not that weak. The stronger the opponent, the more cautious I will be! It’s just that I noticed that the hidden weapon array formation you used just now was very exquisite and powerful. I wonder if you can teach it to me?”
Lilis blinked her eyes in disbelief and quickly said, “Of course! It is my honor to be able to serve you! If my array formation can kill more demons, it will be the greatest glory!”
