Chapter 462 - Controlling the Demons, the Clone Appeared
Chapter 462: Controlling the Demons, the Clone Appeared
In the palace, the seven demons finally sensed that there was a problem with Vincent’s identity. However, before they could even utter a sentence, seven invisible threads had descended from the sky.
The seven demons who were no longer in control of the cosmic threads were unable to see the threads. Therefore, they were unable to take any precautions. They froze on the spot and started to tremble like machines.
“You, how dare you…”
The demon in the middle still tried to resist slightly. However, the anger in his eyes soon dissipated, and his entire figure became stiff like a puppet.
After seeing the scene, Vincent could not help but sigh in his heart, “This Cosmic Thread is indeed worthy of being the supreme treasure of the Demon Race. I am able to control the seven demons who are stronger than me in an instant!”
After confirming that he had complete control over their vision and thoughts, he quickly walked forward and opened the space door. He extended his left hand and wanted to pull the Cosmic Threads into the space tunnel.
Suddenly, the secret door at the back of the palace opened, and a stern voice came from within.
“What happened?”
Ramirez’s voice reverberated within the palace.
At the same time, Vincent had escaped into the space tunnel. After closing the space door, he continued to observe the situation in the palace through the space barrier.
What surprised Vincent was that although the Cosmic Threads were transported into the space tunnel, the threads still passed through the void and space barrier. They were still connected to the seven demons in the palace and all the Dark Elves in Imperial City.
This meant that the status of the Cosmic Threads was higher than the authority to modify as it also had the authority to pass through space!
This had made the situation even more convenient for Vincent as it allowed him to better monitor the situation outside the space tunnel.
In the past, although Vincent could see the situation outside, because of the space barrier, he was unable to listen to the conversation outside. As he had obtained the Cosmic Thread, it was equivalent to having additional eyes and ears. It allowed him to spy on others without making a sound!
Just as Vincent was rejoicing, Ramirez had already walked out from the secret door. He looked at the seven demons who were sitting quietly on the chairs. He frowned and asked, “What happened to you guys? Why did you make such a big commotion just now?”
Vincent raised his left hand and pressed it on the Cosmic Threads. He immediately controlled the seven demons to stand up and bow to Ramirez.
“Lord Gajero, nothing happened just now!”
Vincent controlled the demon in the middle to speak to Ramirez very respectfully. However, he did not know that the Gajero clone in front of him actually had his own name.
When Ramirez heard this, the fierce light in his eyes instantly soared. He walked in front of the demon who had spoken, raised his hand, and grabbed him by the neck. He lifted him into the air effortlessly.
Ramirez said in a cold tone, “My name is Ramirez! I am not your Lord Gajero. Everyone must remember this!”
He then used his five fingers to crush the demon’s neck in his hand.
The demon’s body was instantly destroyed into a dense demonic aura. However, because Ramirez did not destroy his demon core, the demon did not die immediately. Instead, he began to absorb the demonic aura again to rebuild his body.
However, as Ramirez was angry, he did not give the other party a chance to resurrect. He opened his mouth and inhaled forcefully, sucking all the demonic aura in front of him along with the demon’s core. He then began to chew vigorously.
Following that, Vincent felt the invisible thread break in an instant. This meant that the demon that was connected to the thread had died. Ramirez had chewed up his demon core!
When Vincent saw the scene, he could not help but feel extremely shocked. The clone in front of him seemed to hate hearing Gajero’s name. This meant that the clone already had its own thoughts and was no longer under the control of Gajero.
However, it was not unreasonable for the clone to have his own thoughts. Gajero’s clone had inherited the ambition and viciousness of Gajero’s main body. He would naturally think of all the ways to escape the control of the main body and live with a new identity. He had the ambition of defeating Gajero and becoming the true master of the Demon Race!
After thinking about it, Vincent had a preliminary understanding of Ramirez’s psychology and preferences. He then controlled the other six demons to kneel down on one knee and said respectfully, “We will definitely be loyal to Lord Ramirez from now on!”
Ramirez was stunned for a moment upon seeing the scene. A trace of ecstasy then appeared in his eyes.
Vincent was carefully observing the expression on Ramirez’s face through the space barrier. He frowned and sighed, “What kind of emotions are these? Excitement, joy, and some unexpected shock. I really don’t know if it’s because Gajero’s emotions are too complicated, or if this clone of his is showing signs of schizophrenia!”
At that moment, Justin floated out of Vincent’s body and stood beside Vincent, sizing up Ramirez in the hall. He said in a deep voice, “He didn’t expect that he would be recognized by the other demons. Perhaps he really did have the idea of replacing Gajero before this, but he didn’t take any action. He just stopped himself from being controlled by Gajero! This was probably because he was afraid of how powerful Gajero is. He was also afraid that the other demons would not acknowledge him. Just now, in order to deal with him, you controlled those demons to express their loyalty to him, letting him see hope for the first time. At the same time, it also stimulated his ambition. I think that if we don’t interfere with him, in less than ten years, he will be able to accumulate enough power to challenge Gajero. At that time, he will definitely be able to stir up internal strife among the demons!”
Vincent looked at Justin, who had suddenly appeared, and shook his head. He replied, “No! I will never allow him to live for another ten years. Perhaps keeping him alive will indeed bring a lot of trouble to Gajero, but the prerequisite for him to accumulate power is to destroy countless innocent worlds. Keeping him alive is equivalent to leaving a time bomb floating in the Black Hole World. This is a disaster for any race or world, including our human world. Therefore, even if he is not on the same side as Gajero, I will still treat him as an ordinary demon and get rid of him!”
Justin looked at Vincent with disdain. He said in a deep voice, “Let me remind you, he just swallowed a level 49 demon and digested his demon core. Now, he has successfully advanced to level 76, and is already one level above me! I am only a soul. I do not have my peak strength. At most, I’ll be able to resist him for a while. Killing him is just a pipe dream!”
Vincent could not help but let out a long sigh when he heard that. He said helplessly, “Then what can we do? A person must have a dream! Besides, even if you and I can’t kill him, there should at least be an expert who can. When that time comes, as long as we put in some effort, we can guarantee that he’ll die an extremely thorough death!”
Justin nodded and did not say anything more. He continued to size up Ramirez.
When Vincent saw this, he could not help but ask, “Why did you come out all of a sudden? I’m controlling the Cosmic Threads now, and I’m constantly consuming psionic power! Aren’t you making my situation worse by moving around freely at this time?”
Justin looked at Vincent from the corner of his eyes and said indifferently, “I know the amount of psionic power in your body the best. I also know how much consumption that Cosmic Threads can cause you! I’ll just come out for a while; it won’t affect you!”
Vincent could not help but be at a loss for words when he heard that. He suddenly felt as if he had been seen naked by someone. He quickly asked, “What exactly can you see in my body?”
Justin did not hide anything from Vincent. He simply replied, “If it’s an ordinary soul that you control, it will not have self-consciousness at all. It can only be stored in your body like an object. Nothing can be detected by the other souls! But since I can move freely outside of your body, I can also walk around inside your body. It can be said that I have a good understanding of the psionic power in your body and the various methods you have!”
“F*ck, are you a pervert?”
Vincent immediately frowned and shouted when he heard that.
Justin waved his hand casually and said, “I have nothing to do. Sometimes, I check your cultivation progress to see if there are any hidden illnesses in your body. Besides, the current me can’t hurt you at all. What are you afraid of?”
Vincent said with a serious face, “This has nothing to do with whether you hurt me or not! You’re a man. Don’t you find it strange looking around my body for nothing?”
Justin pursed his lips and said seriously, “Although you and I are not of the same race, according to the saying in the Black Hole world, we are all cultivators. Cultivation is the most important thing. How can there be any difference between men and women? I’m just researching to learn about a more advanced cultivation method! If you cannot face up to your identity as a cultivator, it will be very difficult for you to improve in the future. This is my advice as an experienced cultivator. You must remember it well!”
Vincent lost his temper in an instant after hearing Justin’s advice.
When it came to levels and realms, Justin could indeed be considered an expert and a senior. After all, he was a level 75 creature when he was alive, and Vincent had only just advanced to level 40. If he wanted to continue improving in the future, he had to learn from his seniors.
At that moment, within the palace, Ramirez suddenly turned his head to look behind him. Although the hall in front of him was empty, Vincent and Justin, who were in the space tunnel, instantly felt that the other party had seen them.
“Retreat quickly!” shouted Vincent loudly whilst pulling Justin.
At the same time, Ramirez suddenly rushed forward and roared, “Who dares to use space ability to spy on me?”
He roared angrily and smashed his fist into the air in the middle of the palace.
“Crack!”
Clear cracks suddenly appeared in the air in front of Ramirez’s fist.
His terrifying attack had caused the space barrier to explode. It was also the first time Vincent felt as if someone could use pure physical strength to break through the space barrier forcefully.
Although Ramirez did not break it completely, Gajero, who was stronger than him, might be able to do it!
Vincent looked at the cracks on the space barrier and exclaimed in shock, “Looks like the space tunnel is not an absolutely safe method!”
