Chapter 531 - Cold Threats, Learned of the Secret
Chapter 531: Cold Threats, Learned of the Secret
“B*stard, let go of me or I will tear you into pieces!”
Although Alexia was tied up and had fallen to the ground, she still did not show any sign of cowardice. Instead, she cursed at Vincent even more angrily.
Vincent lowered his head and sized up Alexia, turning a deaf ear to her angry roar.
As Alexia had activated her Immortal bloodline, her face appeared even more holy and noble. It completely covered up the charm and arrogance that symbolized the Demon Race. She no longer looked like a demon princess but a flawless fairy!
However, she was still cursing at Vincent at that moment.
After observing the changes in Alexia, Vincent’s brows slowly furrowed. It was as if he had lost patience with the woman under his feet. He raised his hand and pressed the tip of the knife against Alexia’s face, without the slightest bit of pity.
“Listen! I was once lucky enough to obtain the relic of a senior Immortal and had obtained many benefits. So, on account that you have half of your ancestral bloodline, I won’t kill you for the time being. But if you insist on seeking death, I will use an even crueler method than death to deal with you!”
When Vincent pressed the cold blade against her face, Alexia had no choice but to shut her mouth. This was because a large part of her pride stemmed from her own appearance. If her face was scratched by Vincent, she would become an ugly monster. That would indeed be worse than death!
After seeing that Alexia had finally calmed down, Vincent raised the blade and gently rotated the hilt of his blade once again.
The rules of the Purgatory of Nature began to change according to Vincent’s will. Alexia, who was tied up, slowly floated in front of Vincent. Her eyes were filled with shock, but she did not dare to make a sound.
Vincent pointed at Hades, who was soaking in the lava, and said to Alexia in a deep voice, “I will ask a question and you will answer accordingly. If you don’t answer or keep quiet, I will let you take a bath with the big guy over there. Do you understand?”
Alexia swallowed her saliva nervously. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “But if I answer you, how do you know if I’m telling the truth?”
Vincent nodded with a smile and said softly, “That’s right. If you didn’t remind me, I wouldn’t have thought that you would dare to lie to me! But I also have the means to verify whether a person is lying. I can use it on you!”
As he spoke, Vincent took out the tunnel token. As the Purgatory of Nature was currently within the space tunnel, Vincent did not need to open a space door. He only used the high lattice of the tunnel token to tear a crack in the space beside him.
A huge thread flew out from the crack and landed in front of Vincent.
Vincent stretched out his left hand and pressed on the thread. He sneered and said to Alexia, “You should be familiar with this thing, right? With it, I no longer need to force you to answer, and I can get the answer I want. Look, I’ll connect one to you right now!”
Alexia’s face turned pale. She quickly shook her head and said, “No, no, no! No matter what you ask, I’ll answer truthfully. Please don’t use the Cosmic Threads on me!”
Despite the pleading of peerless beauty, Vincent did not show any mercy at all. He directly controlled a thread to descend from the sky and drill into Alexia’s flesh along the back of her neck.
However, Vincent did not cleanse Alexia’s mind, nor did he plant any thoughts on her. He wanted to use the thread as a threat. As long as Alexia did not cooperate with him, he could turn her into a puppet that only listened to his orders at any time.
As for what was next, it was up to this demon princess to make her own decision!
Alexia suddenly felt a chill on her back and knew that she had been struck by the Cosmic Thread. However, after waiting for a long time, she was still conscious. She could not help but look at Vincent with a blank look. She even suspected that Vincent did not use the Cosmic Thread at all!
After all, Vincent was not a demon, and he had not maintained his demon form. It should be impossible for him to be recognized by the Cosmic Threads.
However, just as Alexia thought so, Vincent suddenly said, “You don’t have to guess whether I can use the Cosmic Threads on you. If you want to try, I can immediately turn you into an idiot who only listens to my orders!”
Alexia shuddered. She did not expect Vincent to be able to pry into her thoughts. This meant that he must have mastered the Cosmic Thread!
Moreover, when she thought of all the traitors and the 26th Exploration Corps that obeyed Vincent, there was a high probability that they were all being controlled by the Cosmic Threads. Alexia could not help but feel a chill down her spine.
This was because the Cosmic Threads has high requirements for its user. Under normal circumstances, it would require the cooperation of many individuals to maximize the power of the Cosmic Threads.
Vincent was only one person. However, he was able to control the entire 26th Exploration Corps. How terrifying was his strength?
Vincent could still read Alexia’s thoughts at that moment. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a teasing smile. He held onto the thread and tapped it rhythmically.
He was able to control the Cosmic Threads by relying on the high status of the Hand of God. He had used the Hand of God to force the Cosmic Threads to submit. After all, a mere universe level equipment was equivalent to a piece of trash when facing the Hand of God!
“My first question is about to begin!”
Vincent’s tone was calm as he spoke.
Alexia quickly braced herself to listen carefully.
Alexia seemed to prefer her freedom over the dignity of demons and the pride of a princess. If she was controlled by Vincent to become a puppet, she would become an item of Vincent’s. Alexia did not want that to happen. Therefore, she could only submit to Vincent’s threat and answer every question honestly.
Vincent took a deep breath and slowly asked, “What kind of missions does the 24th Corps under your command usually undertake? Have they invaded other worlds?”
Alexia did not expect Vincent to ask such a question. However, she quickly replied, “The 24th Corps is usually only responsible for transporting supplies to the front line and doing pre-war exploration missions for the army. They are responsible for recording the terrain and distributing resources. They have never waged war against any world!”
Vincent felt a little more relaxed because he could conclude that Alexia was telling the truth. He then asked, “Did Gajero ever mention the Immortal bloodline to you? What did he ask of you for the future?”
After hearing Vincent’s question, Alexia was obviously very resistant to answer. However, due to Vincent’s ruthless and merciless actions, she could only answer helplessly, “Father greatly valued the Immortal bloodline in my body, so he paid extra attention to ensure I receive good teachings. Furthermore, father also told me that as long as I could fuse the demon and Immortal bloodlines, I would become his successor!”
Vincent raised his brows slightly, feeling extremely surprised. He did not expect Gajero to have such a warm side to his daughter.
In Vincent’s heart, Gajero had always been a selfish person who would do anything to achieve his goals and only live for himself. He did not expect this demon to have a bit of humanity!
Vincent then asked a third question.
“Other than sending you here, what other arrangements does Gajero have? Which army will he send later?”
Alexia fell silent after hearing Vincent’s question. This was because this matter was related to her father’s strategy and the fate of the Demon Race. She did not want to be a sinner of the Demon Race.
Vincent did not rush her. Instead, he said casually, “Well, since you don’t want to talk about it, I can only turn you into a puppet first and then slowly search your memory!”
Upon hearing that, Alexia immediately struggled and said, “No! I will tell you! I will say anything!”
Vincent put down his left hand and looked at Alexia quietly, waiting for her to answer very patiently.
Alexia said with a dispirited look, “Actually, there is also father’s most elite 1st Corps that had set off with me. It’s just that the space tunnel that they passed through is the safest, so their speed is slightly slower. However, I believe that they are about to arrive!”
Vincent narrowed his eyes because he had just heard an extremely shocking piece of news.
The ordinary soldiers of the 1st Corps under Gajero had the strength of at least level 70 creatures and they were currently on their way to Vincent.
Although he had destroyed the 24th Corps, Vincent was not confident that he could shake off the powerful 1st Corps. Therefore, the only way he could think of at that moment was to run away and leave the place as soon as possible. The best way was to return to the Human Race!
With a wave of his hand, Vincent closed the Purgatory of Nature. At the same time, the light sword that bound Alexia returned to its original state and returned to her hand.
However, Alexia did not feel any excitement about her freedom and the shackle on her body being removed. This was because there was still an invisible silk thread that was deeply buried in her body. That was the real shackle that controlled her.
As long as Vincent was still in control of the Cosmic Thread, Alexia would always be under his control. If she went against him, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Vincent said in a deep voice, “I cannot control your will, but you have to stay here obediently. Do not try to escape. That will not benefit you at all!”
What else could Alexia say at this moment? She could only nod with a face full of grief and indignation.
Vincent then opened the space door and turned around to walk out.
Alexia’s eyes instantly widened, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an extremely arrogant arc. She said softly, “You are still too careless! You actually left the Cosmic Thread here. As long as I awaken the Cosmic Thread, not only will I regain my freedom, but I can also regain the control of the 26th Corps. When that time comes, I want to see what you can use to fight against father!”
Alexia then walked forward quickly. She reached out to grab the Cosmic Thread.
However, she did not expect that the Cosmic Thread was actually kept in a transparent space barrier. No matter how hard she tried, the Cosmic Thread could only be seen, but not touched.
“Vincent, you’re an asshole, an asshole!”
Alexia clenched her fists tightly and stomped her feet to curse. Unfortunately, Vincent could not hear her at all.
Vincent, who had returned to the Black Hole World, looked at the clear sky in front of him. He said to his team that had gathered, “Very soon, the most powerful corps under Gajero will rush here. We can’t stay here any longer! Kurt, prepare the teleportation array and send us to the nearest coordinates of the Human Race!”
“Okay, Mr. Vincent. Everyone, please wait!” said Kurt whilst nodding.
He then turned around and went to the hillside to prepare the teleportation array.
As an array master, Lilis could not help but follow him curiously. She wanted to observe Kurt prepare his seemingly convenient teleportation array.
Vincent then turned his gaze to the 26th Corps. They were standing around like statues.
“Pa!”
Vincent raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A space door instantly opened beside him. He then said to the soldiers of the 26th Corps, “You will be temporarily stationed in the space tunnel. When you are needed, we will naturally summon you again. Also, remember, do not listen to anything that the woman says inside. Treat her as a mass of non-existent air!”
“Yes!”
The 500 demons replied in unison and walked into the space door in an orderly manner.
At that moment, a flame suddenly descended from the sky. A transparent figure covered in flames slowly flew in front of Vincent and handed him the Cup of Fate.
Vincent looked at his invisible clone and nodded with satisfaction. He then put away the Cup of Fate.
After the shadow handed over the Cup of Fate, he extinguished and disappeared before everyone’s eyes again.
Guru Harson brought Ebenezer to Vincent and said sincerely, “Sir Vincent, I am extremely grateful that you saved Daniel and me from the elves. But please forgive me for not being able to continue following you!”
Vincent asked with some surprise, “Then what are you going to do next?”
Harson took a deep breath. He muttered and sighed, “Ever since the Shadow Demon World was destroyed, our clansmen have scattered in various worlds. Now that we have regained our freedom, we want to find our clansmen and reunite the Shadow Demon Race. Even if our original home is no longer there, the Shadow Demon Race will continue to survive. We will also have to find an opportunity to settle the enmity between us and the Demon Race! In addition, Ebenezer is now a level 42 creature. He can be a guru in the Shadow Demon Race. I want to take him with me and help him become a guru. This is a position that he deserves!”
Vincent turned to look at Ebenezer and asked reluctantly, “Are you leaving too?”
Ebenezer nodded in shame and said softly, “The ability that master has taught me is something that the Shadow Demon Race can never achieve on their own. I want to help the Shadow Demon Race to achieve more things. I also want to bring what I learned from master back to the Shadow Demon Race. Please forgive me for not being able to stay by your side!”
After hearing what Ebenezer said, Vincent suddenly laughed. He said happily, “Why should I forgive you? I never said that I would blame you in the first place! You can think for your own race and take the initiative to take responsibility. This means that you have learned true skills from me. Isn’t your master also a person who has been fighting for the Human Race? With your current ability, even if you encounter danger, you can still protect yourself. Do whatever you want! But no matter what the situation is, you must remember that you are my disciple. You must not embarrass me. There are also some things that I need to discuss with you face to face!”
Guru Harson saw that Vincent was willing to let Ebenezer leave with him, so he quickly said, “If there’s anything you need, just tell us. We will never forget your kindness to us. As long as you say the word, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
Vincent shook his head and said, “It’s not that serious. I just hope that after the Shadow Demon Race regroups, your clansmen can fully display their innate assassination skills and assassinate the demons that live in various worlds. This is the assassination bounty that I have issued to you on behalf of the Human Race and other races that have pledged alliance with the Human Race. As long as you can kill more demons, the Human Race, the Esville Race, the Spirit Race, and the Elf Race will become your backers and provide you with all the resources you need!”
After hearing this, Guru Harson and Ebenezer quickly nodded and agreed, “Good. To be able to take revenge on the Demon Race and to receive the help of so many races is a great thing for the Shadow Demon Race. We are eager to rebuild. We also promise you that as long as the Shadow Demon Race regroups, we will take revenge on the Demon Race at all costs! At the same time, I can also represent the Shadow Demon Race and establish relations with the Human Race. From now on, we will be allies who advance and retreat together!”
Vincent smiled and extended his hand. He said, “Alright, from now on, we will be on the same side!”
Guru Harson extended his hand and shook hands solemnly with Vincent. He said in a deep voice, “We will always be on the same side!”
After Ebenezer said goodbye to Vincent, he went to bow to Avril and Angelina. Only then did he leave with Guru Harson and Daniel. They soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Vincent could not help but feel a little disappointed after seeing Ebenezer leave. He had taught three disciples in total. Dave and Melissa had remained in Elf World. Ebenezer, who had followed him for the longest time and learned the most from him had also left for his own race. Vincent could not help but feel like an old father.
Vincent shook his head with a smile and sighed softly, “Strange, I’m clearly not much older than them, but why do I always treat them like my children?”
Avril and Angelina walked over to Vincent’s side. After hearing his sigh, they could not help but smile.
Avril smiled and teased Vincent, “Because you always want to take responsibility for others. Isn’t that the role of an old father? You treat Ebenezer, the elves and the humans like this. You are born to be an old father!”
Vincent turned to look at Avril, patted the Doom Armor on her body, and said with a smile, “You dare to tease me? Don’t you want this armor?”
Avril quickly hugged Vincent’s arm and said, “Yes, of course! You can’t go back on your words!”
