Chapter 458: The Supreme Treasure of the Demon Race, the Cosmic Thread
After listening to the arrangements of the Demon Race, Vincent could not help but fall into a daze. He did not expect the Demon Race to actually ignore the mission in the Heavenly Demon Token.
However, on second thought, Vincent quickly understood what was going on. The Demon Race was not after the Origin Divine Tree but rather the Origin Divine Earth that was closely related to the Origin Divine Tree.
It just so happened that the Origin Divine Tree that Linus brought was part of his heirloom in Dark Yuan City. As they were unable to trace where it was sourced from due to its age, the Origin Divine Tree had naturally lost its greatest value!
The demon in the middle realized that Vincent had kept quiet for a long time and did not speak. He could not help but frown and ask, “Is there anything else?”
Vincent quickly came back to his senses and said, “Lord Oracle, I am thinking about what kind of resources the seven apostles are collecting. Even if I can arrange Dark Elves to take over their work, I should at least let them know what to do!”
The demon nodded and looked at Vincent with some fear. He said in a low voice, “It’s just some underground minerals. Collecting them is very simple. You just need to send someone to a specific location and set up a mining array to complete it!”
As he spoke, the demon casually took out a scroll and threw it to Vincent. He said, “This scroll is marked with the specific points on where to collect resources within the twelve apostles’ territories as well as the array required to collect resources. Give it to that believer and ask him to set off!”
Vincent opened the scroll in his hand and glanced at it briefly. He instantly found the coordinates of Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City and where to find Origin Divine Earth there. It seemed that the apostles thought that they had hidden the locations well. However, in fact, they could not escape the eyes of the Demon Race
After all, those apostles were the most important believers of Gajero. How could Gajero let such believers off the hook?
Vincent understood this matter. Even if he did not suggest it, the demons would secretly find someone to replace the twelve apostles. After all, they had never thought of fulfilling the conditions they had promised the twelve apostles.
“I understand. I will make the arrangements now!” said Vincent respectfully.
He then turned around and walked out of the palace. He quickly rushed to the hotel where Linus was.
When Vincent left, the seven demons in the palace instantly frowned and looked at each other with solemn faces.
The demon in the middle spoke with a serious expression, “How could Roderick not come back after so long? He has always been the least courageous. He would never face a difficult opponent alone. If he encountered any difficulties, he would definitely give us a warning at the first moment. Even if we are not in the city, he would also ask Lord Ramirez to support him. However, we have not received any news, nor have we received any clues from Roderick. It seems that he must have been killed!”
The rest of the demons nodded repeatedly, expressing the same concern about Roderick’s whereabouts. If Roderick was really dead, then it meant that there was an existence in Imperial City that was powerful enough to slaughter the demons!
“This fellow will probably continue to hide in the dark, looking for an opportunity to kill us one by one! But I don’t understand. If there really is such a powerful foreign race that entered Elf World from the Black Hole, why does he have to make things difficult for us? He killed his way all the way from Dark Yuan City to Imperial City. His goal is so clear. He’s obviously here to get rid of us!”
While one demon was worried about Roderick, he also felt that he and his companions were in a dangerous situation.
Another demon suggested softly, “Since things have come to this, why don’t we ask Lord Ramirez for help?”
The other demons fell silent upon hearing his suggestion. They did not doubt the strength of Ramirez, but they were all afraid that Ramirez would get angry because of this and vent the anger in his heart on them.
At that moment, the secret door behind the seven demons suddenly opened. Ramirez strode out and said in a deep voice, “A bunch of trash! You can’t even do such a small thing well! And you know that you can’t deal with your opponents, yet you don’t want to tell me in advance. Do you want to miss this most crucial opportunity?”
The seven demons heard Ramirez’s reprimand and quickly stood up. They kneeled on the ground and bowed respectfully.
The seven demons said in unison, “Lord Ramirez, please forgive us for our negligence!”
Ramirez paced around blankly and said softly, “The most important thing now is to determine whether Roderick is dead or alive. Immediately activate the Cosmic Threads and use the vision of all the Dark Elves in Imperial City to look for any suspicious traces! If necessary, we can control the Dark Elves who have just entered Imperial City to maximize our vision. Once you find the whereabouts of Roderick or the other races, inform me immediately. I want to meet that foreign race who wants to cause trouble for the demons personally!”
“Yes!”
The seven demons immediately replied in unison. When they raised their heads again, they found that Ramirez, who was standing in front of them earlier, had long disappeared. At the same time, the secret door on the palace wall was closed.
The demons heaved a long sigh of relief. They immediately walked to the center of the palace without any delay.
Each demon raised their arms high and formed a circle whilst chanting in a low voice, “A gift from my Lord Gajero, a supreme being who can control everything. Please follow the call of the demons and descend to Elf World!”
The low chanting sound was like an echo in a dry well. It was echoing throughout the entire palace. At the same time, a large amount of demonic aura appeared in the palms of the seven demons. It slowly gathered in the center of the seven of them, forming a black fog that looked like an endless abyss.
Soon, a two-meter-tall giant diamond-shaped cocoon slowly emerged from the black fog abyss and floated in front of the seven demons.
The seven demons immediately poured their demonic aura into the diamond-shaped cocoon.
The moment it came into contact with the demonic aura, the diamond-shaped cocoon seemed to have come to life. It began to absorb the demonic aura in the seven demons’ bodies rapidly and used it to build a bridge between them.
Countless fine threads soon extended out of the diamond-shaped cocoon, leading to the high sky of nothingness.
Every thread would fall from the sky, binding a certain Dark Elf in the city.
As long as the seven demons used the aura of the Demon World to connect with the diamond-shaped cocoon, they would be able to take over the vision, sound, and touch of all the Dark Elves in Imperial City. They would be able to directly convey orders to the depths of their hearts.
The Dark Elves that were connected by the threads were very obedient and complete all the orders given, including orders telling them to die!
This was one of the three great treasures of the Demon Race, the Cosmic Threads!
When Gajero led the demon army to conquer Elf World, he accidentally discovered the wonders of the Origin Divine Earth. In order to obtain the unique treasures, he not only left behind a clone of himself, but he had also left behind this Demon Race treasure to strengthen the defense of Elf World.
As a phantom-like foreign race had appeared in Imperial City, the seven demons had no choice but to sacrifice their own power and activate the highest form of their power to take over the vision of every Dark Elf in the city.
At that moment, countless images flashed before the eyes of every demon. Almost every corner of the city was being monitored by the demons.
However, even so, they still could not find any traces of Roderick, let alone traces of other races.
The seven demons soon focus their vision on Vincent at the same time. They watched him walk across the street slowly, push open the door of the hotel and walk straight to the second floor.
Lord Ramirez had given them permission to transform Vincent and the others who had just entered the city into puppets under their control.
However, the demons all wanted Vincent to handle the affairs in the city for them so that they could enjoy life more comfortably. Therefore, they all felt pity for Vincent. After taking a glance at him, they all looked away. They then turned to look at other places in the city.
At that moment, Vincent, who had escaped death, stood on the stairs of the hotel and raised his hand to touch his nose. He sighed in his heart, “Why is everyone staring at me? It seems that I am being monitored. Could it be that those demons are using some kind of method to control the Dark Elves? I don’t know if I can avoid being controlled by them!”
When Vincent walked to the second floor, he did not sense that he was being watched anymore. This meant that the Dark Elves who were staring at him earlier had already moved away. Only then did he feel at ease as he walked towards Linus’s room.
When Vincent pushed open the door, he saw that Linus had already changed into a new outfit. He was wearing a loose robe, giving off a very mysterious feeling.
“You’re here!”
Linus’s tone carried some excitement as he spoke.
Vincent stepped into Linus’s room and slammed the door shut. He shook his head to signal Linus not to speak.
Linus immediately shut his mouth and looked around.
Vincent nodded at Linus and opened the space door silently. He then led Linus into the space tunnel.
After entering the parallel space, Vincent no longer needed to worry about being watched. He handed over the scrolls and methods provided by the demons to Linus. He also explained to him that there might be an array or item in the Imperial City that could control the Dark Elves.
Vincent warned him with a worried expression, “It’s really not safe to stay in Imperial City at the moment. If your injuries are not serious, immediately take your subordinates and leave this place. Don’t stay any longer!”
Linus nodded and said, “Don’t worry! I will immediately rush to the areas under the jurisdiction of the seven apostles to find evidence of their crime of seizing the Origin Divine Earth. I will then destroy their channels to access the Origin Divine Earth!”
Vincent shook his head and said, “The situation has changed again. Do not go directly to the territory of the seven apostles. After you leave the city, go to Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City to take a look around. If there are apostles lingering around, go directly to the territory of the apostles. Your mission is the most important. You must be careful!”
Linus nodded and said, “I see. Take care!”
