Chapter 461: Was About to Be Exposed
After hearing Dave’s suggestion, Melissa, who had been silent, suddenly said, “No! I won’t accept those troops. They are my enemies!”
When Avril and Angelina saw the scene, they could not help but look at Dave curiously.
Dave quickly explained, “The Carter family that Melissa belonged to was massacred by Jessica and Darren’s troops. If it wasn’t for Vincent’s help, Melissa would have died in the canyon!”
After listening to Dave’s explanation, Avril immediately turned to look at Melissa and said, “I deeply sympathize with your family’s misfortune. However, Jessica and Darren were the ones who had caused this tragedy. Now that they are dead, this blood feud can be considered avenged! Those soldiers were just following orders. In fact, we can’t hold them responsible. Do you want to kill an entire army? We are at a critical juncture. If we don’t accept these tens of thousands of soldiers, they might join the apostle’s camp and become our real opponents. Imagine if the demons attack all the Dark Elves… Letting them die in the valley for no reason, no matter what the outcome is, will weaken the elves. I hope you can let go of the pain in your heart temporarily and help the elves overcome this crisis!”
When Melissa heard Dave address Avril as Vincent’s lover, she immediately guessed her identity. Out of respect for Vincent, she did not dare to show off her temper in front of Avril.
At the same time, Avril’s words were sonorous, reasonable, and justified. Melissa was completely unable to refuse her.
After hesitating for a while, Melissa finally nodded and said, “Alright then! I cannot pursue the actions of those soldiers, but there is a prerequisite. Serene Spring City will only accept those soldiers who are willing to stop believing in Gajero and instead believe in Vincent. Otherwise, I would rather have them become my enemies!”
After hearing that, Avril turned to look at Angelina and asked for her opinion.
Angelina nodded and said, “Since the valley where those soldiers are located in a place to collect the Origin Divine Earth, then there must be evidence of Jessica and the demons underground. We can go and convince those soldiers and let them see the true face of the demons. If we still can’t convince them, we can also bring them directly to Bright Moon City to have a look. I believe that most of the Dark Elves will be able to wake up in time!”
Avril quickly nodded and said, “Alright, it’s decided then!”
After everyone had reached an agreement, Dave immediately opened the space gate and used the space tunnel to leave Serene Spring City. He rushed toward Devil Flame City.
Horace followed beside Melissa and set up the defense for Serene Spring City.
Meanwhile, Avril and Angelina rushed toward the valley based on the location Dave had described. They wanted to find the Serene Spring City’s army.
…
Vincent had spent another day waiting in Imperial City. There was only one day left until he will meet the seven great Elf Kings again. He could hardly hold it in anymore. This was because he was especially worried about the situation in Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City. He was also worried that Linus and his team would encounter danger along the way.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that he could do at that moment. He could only continue to wait in Imperial City.
At that moment, a dull voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Jacob, the oracles have summoned you!”
Vincent frowned and quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll go over now!”
After he heard the Dark Elf leaving, Vincent stood up and walked to the door. He paid attention to the movements outside the door and said in a low voice, “Justin, I’m afraid it will be very dangerous for me to go out at this time. I need your help at the critical moment!”
Justin’s voice sounded in Vincent’s mind, “No problem. I will help you at the critical moment! But the premise is that you have to stay alive and protect me. Don’t be hot-blooded and fight to the death with the other party!”
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “Don’t worry. Even if I want to fight to the death, now is not the best time. I will definitely put our lives first!”
“That’s good!”
Justin replied with a bitter tone. He found it hard to believe that Vincent was someone who would put his life first when he was killed by Vincent himself.
After receiving Justin’s promise, Vincent pushed open the door and walked out of the room toward the palace.
Nothing had happened in the city recently, and there were no sudden visitors outside the city. Vincent could not think of any reason for the demons to summon him. The only possibility was that they had discovered his identity and they wanted him to walk right into their trap!
However, Vincent had always been a person who would not give up until the last moment. Even if his guess was correct, he would not give up his disguise until the demons prove his identity with conclusive evidence.
He soon arrived at the palace once again. The tall stone door leading to the main hall was opened, which was rare. It seemed to be welcoming Vincent’s arrival.
Vincent looked at the abnormal detail and could not help but frown slightly. However, he maintained his footsteps and walked straight into the palace.
At that moment, a huge diamond-shaped cocoon was suspended in the middle of the palace. The seven demons who were sitting on the seats had extremely weak expressions on their faces as if the energy in their bodies had been drained.
Vincent stopped in front of the huge cocoon and asked in a deep voice, “My Lords, what business do you have for me?”
The demons in the middle said with some difficulty, “I called you here today because I have a very important task for you. The thing in front of you is the supreme treasure of the demons, but controlling it requires a large amount of demonic energy. In order to find Roderick’s whereabouts, we have been using it nonstop for an entire day. Now, we have reached the limit of our physical strength, but we still haven’t found any useful clues. In order to buy time, you will be in charge of controlling it while we recover our strength and continue to search for Roderick!”
Vincent looked at the huge cocoon in front of him with some embarrassment. For a moment, he did not know what to do. There was not the slightest bit of demonic aura in his body, so he could not use this strange treasure in front of him.
However, if he rejected their request on the spot, he would definitely be suspected by those demons!
If it were any other time, Vincent would definitely not hesitate at that moment. He would draw his sword and slash at the seven of them who were extremely weak. In fact, this was the best opportunity to take advantage of their weakness. He simply could not miss such an opportunity.
However, Vincent knew that there was still a Gajero clone hiding behind the seven demons. If he acted rashly, not only would he be exposed, but he might also endanger the six Elf Kings who were trapped in the well.
Helpless, Vincent could only bite the bullet and say, “How do I use this treasure?”
The demon in the middle said weakly, “Use the demonic energy in your body to communicate with the Cosmic Threads. Once you establish a connection with it, it will automatically absorb the demonic energy in your body. You can use it to take over the senses of every believer in Imperial City, and you can use this opportunity to investigate Roderick’s whereabouts!”
After hearing that, Vincent instantly realized that the giant cocoon in front of him was the key to turning the Dark Elves into puppets!
In that case, regardless of whether his identity would be exposed or not, Vincent would have to face this strange treasure for a while.
Vincent raised his left hand and was prepared to send psionic power to the Cosmic Threads. He did not use his right hand because his right hand was already placed quietly behind his back. He was ready to take out the Cup of Fate from his storage ring to swallow the Cosmic Threads in front of him.
He believed that if he fused the Cup of Fate with the Cosmic Threads, the demons would no longer be able to control the Dark Elves in the city!
Just as Vincent was using his left hand to send out psionic power in an attempt to establish a connection with the Cosmic Threads, an unprecedented sense of smoothness instantly spread throughout his entire body.
Immediately after that, Vincent felt the psionic power in his body flow very slowly toward the Cosmic Threads. Moreover, the consumption was not huge, and it could even be considered negligible.
At the same time, Vincent also saw the dense threads above the Cosmic Thread heading straight toward the void.
As Vincent’s thoughts moved, countless images began to flash before his eyes. Vincent, who was already familiar with Imperial City, quickly realized that these were the sights of the guard posts on the streets. They were all displayed clearly before his eyes.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that controlling this treasure required a huge amount of energy? Why did I establish a connection with it so easily, and the consumption wasn’t obvious? Could it be that this treasure doesn’t belong to the Demon Race? In fact, it doesn’t need the aura of the Demon World to activate it. Instead, it’s more convenient to use psionic power! Or could it be that I have just used my left hand, and the super high-level Hand of God suppressed the negative effects of the Cosmic Threads? No matter what, this is a blessing in disguise!” sighed Vincent in his heart.
At the same time, he could not help but feel a hint of joy. This so-called demon supreme treasure had become more obedient in his hands. It was simply a pleasant surprise!
In order to confirm his own guess, Vincent used his right hand to transfer psionic power to the Cosmic Threads.
However, the moment the psionic power from his right hand came into contact with the Cosmic Threads, the huge cocoon suddenly burst out with a blinding white light and rejected his psionic power.
Vincent immediately sighed in his heart, “As expected!”
It seemed that the one who could control the Cosmic Threads was not his psionic power, but the Hand of God, that had an extremely high status!
The abnormal reaction of the Cosmic Threads had also attracted the attention of the seven demons.
The demon in the middle questioned Vincent with a vigilant expression, “What happened just now? Could it be that you didn’t use demonic aura?”
Vincent’s gaze was cold as he looked at the seven demons sitting above him. He did not answer, because the current situation was already within his expectations. He had prepared a way to deal with it.
Without a sound, seven thin threads descended from the sky and drilled into the backs of the seven demons.
