Chapter 529 - Control Corps, Demon Princess
Chapter 529: Control Corps, Demon Princess
Vincent left the housing area with Lilis and walked into the alleyway that was covered in webs.
Kurt was guarding one end of the alley whilst Avril and the others guarded the other end.
After seeing that Vincent and Lilis had returned, Kurt quickly asked, “Mr. Vincent, has everything been settled? What happened?”
Vincent raised his hand and threw out two balls of flames. His flames started to burn the webs in the alley. He said softly, “Earlier, three demons who were lost accidentally barged into this place. I have dealt with them. In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, let’s immediately head to the Black Hole and seal it!”
Everyone’s gazes turned toward Irene. It was as if they were waiting for her to agree.
Irene nodded and said, “Fine, let’s go!”
They quickly left the town and rushed toward the Black Hole.
On the way, Vincent told Avril and Angelina about his plan. Even the two girls who were used to big scenes were shocked by Vincent’s crazy idea.
Angelina looked at Vincent and sighed softly, “You want to control an entire demon corps? That’s too crazy!”
Vincent smiled slightly and said confidently, “Although this idea is crazy, with the availability of the Cosmic Threads, it is no doubt possible. Moreover, we human warriors have already lost too much blood when fighting against the invaders. It is time to let the demons fight against their own kinds. This is their retribution!”
Angelina nodded and did not say anything else.
Avril, who was at the side, kept looking at the Doom Armor on Vincent’s body. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and love.
“Vincent, this armor on your body is not bad. Where did you get it?” asked Avril while caressing the patterns on the armor.
When Vincent saw her reaction, he smiled and said, “This is the armor that I entrusted Janos to forge using the body of the Zerg. Moreover, it is specially made for you! This armor has a super strong defense, and it also has the ability to corrode space. It can also change sizes according to the user’s body shape. It’s very compatible with your divine body spell. However, an accident happened just now, so I didn’t have time to remove the armor. After I use it to transform into Nicholas and complete the next plan, this lucky armor will be yours!”
“Really? That’s great!”
Avril cheered with joy. Then, she thought of something and asked hesitantly, “But did you prepare a gift for my sister?”
Vincent turned to look at Angelina. He shook his head and said, “I don’t have the right materials yet to create a piece of equipment as powerful as the Doom Armor. But I have already thought of a gift. I will compensate Angelina when the time comes!”
Angelina, who was not unhappy about her sister getting the Doom Armor, asked curiously, “What gift?”
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “I am ready to learn craftsmanship skills from Janos and array formation spells from Lilis. When the time comes, I will personally create the perfect equipment for you. I will make use of the craftsmanship skills and array formation spells that I learn!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Angelina was even happier than Avril. To her, nothing was more precious than the equipment made by Vincent himself.
Angelina held Vincent’s hand and said with anticipation, “Then let’s make a deal. You must personally forge the equipment for me. I want it to look like a necklace!”
Vincent nodded and promised, “Okay, I’ll definitely do it!”
Everyone soon arrived at the Black Hole. Ebenezer, Harson, and Daniel had been waiting for them. As soon as they saw Vincent, they immediately went up to him.
Vincent asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Ebenezer scratched his head and said, “I saw master seal the alley with webs in the space tunnel. He must not want us to interfere in the later matters, so I brought Guru Harson to the edge of the Black Hole. We have entered the Black Hole World earlier to check it out. Many demon troops have gathered in the Black Hole. There are hundreds of them!”
Vincent nodded when he saw how considerate Ebenezer was. He then turned to Irene and said, “You stay here. When I am ready to seal the Black Hole, you will naturally be able to sense it. When the time comes, just respond to me!”
Irene nodded and said to Vincent, “Take care.”
Vincent smiled and waved goodbye to Irene. He transformed himself into Nicholas and strode toward the Black Hole.
Avril and Angelina had long known about Vincent’s plan. They opened the space door and led the others into the space tunnel. They followed behind Vincent quietly.
When Vincent entered the Black Hole World, his demon puppets who were guarding the Black Hole kneeled on one knee and said in unison, “Greetings, General!”
Vincent completely ignored those puppets who no longer had the ability to think. He turned to look at the Black Hole. He raised his hand to gather the power of the Black Hole and began to seal the Black Hole of the Spirit Race.
Irene, who was in the Spirit World suddenly sensed something. She immediately placed her hands in front of her chest, and seven rays of different colors lit up behind her at the same time.
As Irene had received the approval of the seven gods of creation, she had become the leader of the Spirit Race. At that moment, her right alone represented the will of the entire Spirit Race. She chose to cooperate with Vincent and slowly closed the Black Hole of the Spirit Race.
The Black Hole gradually disappeared. Irene could not help but look at the empty sky. She chanted softly, “In the name of the seven gods, I express my gratitude to all the warriors who have helped to save the Spirit Race. May the power be with you all!”
In the Black Hole World, a rainbow light suddenly descended and landed on top of Vincent’s head, enveloping Vincent within.
“This is a gift from the seven gods of creation!”
Vincent could feel his own strength starting to grow without end. He could not help but exclaim with a face full of shock. In the eyes of the seven gods of creation, Vincent had saved the Spirit World and brought back the last surviving member of the Spirit Race. Therefore, he could be considered to have made a supreme contribution. It was currently time to be rewarded!
Vincent felt that the psionic power in his body had reached its limit. This allowed him to increase his level and advance to a level 49 creature in one fell swoop.
However, his increase in strength did not stop there. Instead, it continued to increase rapidly. He broke through the limit once again and became a level 50 creature!
Vincent looked at his hands and gently clenched them. There were only ten more levels left before he could be considered a high-level creature in the Black Hole World. At that time, he could rely on his own strength to raise the status of the Human Race. He could even change the fate of the Human Race. Of course, at that time, the gap in strength between him and Gajero would become smaller and smaller!
Vincent slowly opened his hands and sighed solemnly, “Sooner or later, my strength will catch up to Gajero. I might even become stronger than him! At that time, I will have to re-establish the rules of the world, so that all races have the right to survive!”
At that moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind Vincent. It was noisy and shook the sky and earth. Clearly, there were many individuals running over.
Vincent turned around and saw hundreds of demon soldiers rushing over with anxious faces. As soon as they arrived, they all lowered their bodies and directly knelt in front of Vincent.
A few demons who looked like military officers kneeled in front of Vincent and said sincerely with their heads lowered, “General, earlier, we saw a strange light coming from here. We were worried about the general’s safety, so we led our subordinates here. Please forgive us, General!”
Vincent took a deep breath and tried his best to imitate Nicholas’s actions. He did not mention the fact that these demons had disobeyed military orders. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, “Has the army assembled?”
The few military officers noticed that their general did not punish them, but he did not say that he would pardon them either. They answered in fear and trepidation, “The 26th Exploration Corps has gathered. Apart from your personal guards, a total of 470 demons have gathered. They are only waiting for the general’s order!”
Vincent nodded and did not ask the soldiers to get up. He directly walked into the crowd and looked at the demons kneeling at his feet. He walked around them cautiously whilst looking for a suitable position to stand.
All the demon soldiers were extremely nervous at that moment because General Nicholas was usually temperamental and unpredictable. Sometimes, he would fly into a rage for no reason, and even devour the soldiers under him. This made every member of the 26th Exploration Corps very afraid. They did not dare to face Nicholas directly.
It was precisely because every soldier had such a mentality that Vincent’s disguise seemed even more flawless. No matter what he did, everyone believed that there was a hidden purpose behind it. No matter what topic he avoided or refused to answer, it would be regarded as shrewd and full of pressure!
Finally, cold sweat began to appear on the foreheads of all the demons. Vincent soon stopped because he was already standing at the center of where the demons had gathered. At the same time, it was also the best position for him to activate the Cosmic Threads!
Vincent slowly raised his hand to open the space door and shouted at the hundreds of demons, “I’ve gathered everyone here today because I want to borrow everyone’s strength to re-create the order of this Black Hole World. I hereby promise everyone that if a new order is successfully established one day, all of you will be the surviving demons. At that time, I will return your freedom and let you continue to live!”
All the demons frowned, their eyes filled with confusion. They did not understand what Vincent was talking about, nor did they know what was going to happen next.
However, even though Vincent’s actions were so strange, none of the soldiers dared to raise their heads and look around. This was because the hierarchy of the demons was very strict. If anyone dared to disobey the actions of a superior, they would immediately be executed and become nourishment for the other demons to improve.
At the same time, Vincent’s left hand had already reached into the space tunnel to grab the Cosmic Threads. Countless transparent threads shot into the sky and turned into flowing lights. The flowing lights then shot toward the ground, drilling into the bodies of every demon soldier. Vincent took the opportunity to plant a thought in the hearts of every demon soldier.
“The current actions of the Demon Race are only seeking their own destruction. Gajero has seized the position of race leader through violent means, but he cannot lead the Demon Race toward prosperity. Instead, he can only lead the Demon Race toward destruction step by step as they expand. The only thing that can give the Demon Race a chance to survive is to follow Vincent’s footsteps and help him re-establish the order of the Black Hole World!”
The many demon soldiers who received Vincent’s command raised their heads and looked around curiously. They sighed stiffly, “Who is Vincent?”
The Cosmic Threads were unable to control everyone’s specific actions. They could only forcefully control their thoughts and guide their actions. Therefore, they could still maintain a certain degree of ability to think and act.
Vincent shouted, “That’s me!”
At the same time, he removed his disguise and transformed into his original appearance. He then stood in front of the demon soldier.
As long as those demon soldiers remembered Vincent’s appearance, the thought buried deep in their minds would be activated. From then on, they would become puppets that only listened to Vincent’s orders.
The demon soldiers kneeling beside Vincent raised their heads to look at him first. Soon after, they all became stiff like machines on the spot. As Vincent’s voice spread in all directions, more and more demons were successfully controlled by him.
Finally, all the members of the 26th Exploration Corps fell into a daze. They knelt on the ground, twisted their bodies, and waited for Vincent’s order in an extremely weird posture.
Vincent said softly, “Get up!”
All the demons did not hesitate at all. They immediately stood up and looked up at Vincent who was standing in the center.
Vincent spoke loudly to all the demon soldiers, “From today onward, the corps will continue to maintain its previous structure. You will continue to be led by the captains of each team. When there’s no command, all of you must remain silent. Do you understand?”
At the same time, he used the Cosmic Threads to inject his words into the deepest parts of every demon soldier’s mind so that his command would form part of their subconscious.
The 26th Exploration Corps replied collectively, “Understood!”
Just as Vincent was about to continue sending his thoughts to all the demons, a purple circular door suddenly opened in the sky. A black and purple light pillar instantly descended from the middle, directly reaching the ground.
Vincent was able to see through the thoughts of all the demon soldiers using the Cosmic Threads. He discovered that all the demons were not shocked or curious at all when they saw this scene. It was obvious that they knew about this strange scene.
Therefore, Vincent turned his head and asked a demon soldier beside him, “What is this?”
The soldier replied with a serious expression, “This is a teleportation channel used by the demon soldiers to travel in the Black Hole World. It can accurately connect any two points in the Black Hole’s vision. However, this kind of channel is extremely dangerous. It is difficult for any living being to survive in the burst space turbulence. Only the demons can use their special talents to freely travel through the channel. However, it will weaken their strength to a certain extent for a short period of time. Therefore, the upper echelons and elite corps of the demons would never use this tunnel. Only the low-level corps who are scouts or are responsible for transporting materials would travel this way!”
Vincent nodded and said, “That is to say, your 26th Exploration Corps needs to use this method to rush to the place designated by Gajero!”
The demon soldier nodded and said, “Yes!”
Vincent immediately understood. It seemed that Gajero had sent another batch of troops over. He immediately had a countermeasure in mind. He quickly closed the space tunnel and turned himself into Nicholas again.
Vincent gave another order, “Prepare to face the enemy!”
All the members of the 26th Exploration Corps immediately moved out. They formed a battle formation beside Vincent and stared at the light pillar in front of them.
A few officers who were usually in charge of assisting Nicholas rushed over to Vincent’s side. They acted as his right-hand men.
Immediately after that, a mass of black demonic aura floated down from the teleportation door in the sky. There was a single-eyed demon core mixed within.
When Vincent saw this, he could not help but feel shocked. It seemed that the space turbulence in the teleportation portal was even more terrifying than he had imagined. The demons that had transmigrated here could not even retain their physical bodies. They could only pass through the space portal in the form of death and wait for their resurrection.
“Compared to the teleportation portal that Gajero used back in Beast World, this is simply the worst. It seems that the treatment enjoyed by the different levels of the Demon Race can be said to be worlds apart!”
While Vincent was lamenting, the demonic aura that descended first gradually recovered, forming a slender figure in the air. Her face was 70-80% similar to that of humans, but she had demon wings on her back. She also had demon horns on her head.
After seeing that the woman in front of him did not have the ferocious and terrifying face of demons, Vincent could not help but sigh with a puzzled look, “What? Do all female demons look like this?”
The officer standing beside Vincent immediately replied, “This is the general of the 24th Corps, Alexia! She is also the daughter of Chief Gajero. Chief Gajero had accidentally obtained some of the bloodline left behind by the ancient Immortal Race. Because of the fusion, he had given birth to General Alexia. Therefore, her appearance is different from the other demons!”
Vincent was quite shocked when he heard this because he knew how powerful the Immortals were. He did not expect that Gajero could actually resurrect the Immortals this way.
It seemed that Gajero wanted to nurture this daughter to grow up like the ancient Immortals. She would then become a great help to him in his conquest of the 10,000 races in the Black Hole!
Alexia floated in mid-air. Her facial features had the coldness and nobility of the Immortals. At the same time, because of her demon bloodline, she had become more charming and depraved. Her tone was full of arrogance as she said, “Nicholas, why didn’t you carry out father’s orders?”
Vincent originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill all the demons that had rushed over. However, when he learned that Alexia had half of the Immortal bloodline, he chose to take two steps forward. He smiled and said, “Sorry, from today onward, the 26th Exploration Corps will have nothing to do with Gajero!”
Upon hearing that, Alexia narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “You want to betray father? Lead your subordinates to cause a mutiny? Then I will help father suppress you today!”
The smile on Vincent’s face grew even wider. He asked in return, “Suppress me? With just you?”
Alexia stretched out her right hand. The ring on her finger flashed and a pitch-black light sword appeared in her hand.
Alexia pointed her sword at Vincent and said arrogantly, “Not just me, but my 24th Corps as well!”
At the same time, in the teleportation channel behind her, countless balls of demonic aura shot out, instantly covering the sky.
