Chapter 552: Enmity Arose Again, Taking Advantage of the Situation
After killing Jerome and Kyle with his own hands, Gajero finally calmed down. The injuries on his body slowly began to heal.
Gaia carefully supported Gajero as he asked with a worried expression, “Chief, although we’ve killed the target, we still haven’t found Princess Alexia’s whereabouts. What should we do next?”
Gajero took a deep breath and he slowly sighed, “That guy has too many tricks up his sleeves. However, if we think about it carefully, the ability that he uses to hide others can only be achieved by modification authority! Now that we’ve killed him, we only need to find the creatures of the Lingluo Race to open the space door and we’ll be able to save Alexia!”
Gaia nodded and asked, “Your wounds haven’t fully recovered. Should we leave this place first?”
Gajero’s eyes were bloodthirsty as he looked at the vast world in front of him. He said in a low voice, “We’re not going anywhere. We’re staying to kill every single creature here! Since we’ve broken the God Race’s restrictions to enter this world, we can’t return empty-handed. We must conquer this place!”
Gaia revealed an excited expression when he heard this. As Gajero’s right-hand man, he had long regarded war and invasion as pleasure. He said, “Chief, please rest assured. The creatures in this world are not strong. You can recuperate here peacefully. I can flatten the entire world by myself!”
Gajero shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Now is not the time to heal. This world is being watched by the Protoss. Our sudden appearance may also arouse the curiosity of the Protoss. In order to avoid encountering the Protoss, we must act with all our strength and end the battle quickly. We must immediately cleanse this world and then evacuate as soon as possible!”
Gaia lowered his head and acknowledged, “Yes, your subordinate understands!”
He then turned to face the entire world and took a deep breath. Immediately after that, psionic power began to surge from heaven and earth, fusing with Gaia’s chest.
After forcefully devouring a large amount of psionic power, Gaia’s body began to grow larger and larger. He became a towering giant in an instant. The armor on his body also became brighter. It looked like a blade emitting cold light. It hung above the heads of all the Phantoms.
Gaia roared angrily, “The 1st Corps under the command of the Demon King, has come to destroy!”
He crossed his hands in front of his chest and swung forward, causing a black-purple blade of light to appear.
The giant cross-shaped blade of light was like an unstoppable divine punishment, tearing apart the sky, the earth, and all the mountains along the way. It flew straight toward the other end of the Phantom World.
The Phantom World, which originally had blue sky, and water, green earth, and mountains, instantly showed signs of collapsing.
However, at that moment, Gajero suddenly said, “Wait, there’s something wrong!”
Gaia immediately stopped when he heard that and turned to look at the land in the distance.
On the land that was on the verge of shattering, black clouds suddenly rose into the sky. The black clouds were flying rapidly toward them.
When Gajero saw the black shadows that were flying toward them, he instantly realized that those shadows were not simply just figures. Instead, they were huge cities floating in the sky. He also saw countless figures on the city walls.
Gaia took two steps back and asked Gajero in surprise, “Chief, what’s going on? These flying cities don’t seem to have any power to support them. How are they able to do this?”
Gajero narrowed his eyes and sighed in confusion, “Strange, these cities seem to be alive!”
Gaia immediately targeted the flying cities in the sky.
“Whether they are alive or not, everything in this world will be completely destroyed today!”
Gaia roared and punched the sky twice.
Two dark purple pillars of light shot into the sky one after the other, accurately striking the two cities at the front.
The cities that were struck instantly exploded in the sky, turning all the Phantoms in the city into brilliant fireworks.
Suddenly, an extremely majestic and furious voice was heard from the horizon, “Who dares to destroy my world?”
Gaia was red-eyed from the killing. He did not care about who had appeared. He subconsciously punched in the direction of the voice.
An even more powerful black-purple light pillar shot out in an instant, directly tearing apart the space along the way. It charged toward the horizon in a crushing manner.
However, Gaia was unable to pierce through the skies with his attack. This was because an ordinary figure had floated over. He raised a hand and easily blocked the black-purple pillar of light in the sky.
Following that, the figure quickly flew toward the ground and stood in a defensive stance. He knew that Gaia’s attack had been completely dispelled.
After seeing that the other party still had the intention to block his attack, Gaia subconsciously threw a punch toward him.
As he was a powerful demon with the strength of a level 80 creature, Gaia was very confident in his attacks. He believed that in this world where the creatures’ combat power was very low, he was an invincible existence, and no one could block his fist.
Nevertheless, when Gaia saw the appearance of that figure, he could not help but widen his eyes in shock. That was because he realized that it was actually Gajero himself who had fallen from the sky!
However, compared to the current Gajero, this figure who had suddenly rushed over appeared more immature and arrogant at the same time. He had the same appearance as Gajero from hundreds of years ago.
Under normal circumstances, Gaia would not dare to rashly attack him as he looked like Gajero.
However, Gaia had already swung his fist, and there was no longer any possibility of him stopping his attack.
When the figure that looked exactly like Gajero landed on the ground, he only gently raised two fingers and lightly tapped his fist.
“Boom!”
A violent explosion was heard, and Gaia’s entire arm was instantly blown to smithereens. His body was also continuously pushed back by the aftershock of the explosion.
Gajero, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, immediately flew into the air. He raised his hand and placed it on Gaia’s shoulder to stop him from retreating. At the same time, he looked at the figure who looked exactly like him.
When the creature saw Gajero, he instantly recognized him. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a low and angry voice, “It’s actually you!”
Gajero was shocked. He was filled with confusion and regret.
Gajero sighed in realization, “This is not the Human World at all. Even I was deceived by him!”
Gaia covered the wound on his broken arm and asked, “Chief, what do you mean?”
Gajero took a deep breath and suddenly revealed a cold smile. He said, “When we were about to conquer this Black Hole region, we went to an extremely strange world. Every living being in that world had the ability to copy the abilities of others. The most powerful emperor among them had copied my ability and led his clansmen to use his sea of creatures to force me away! I didn’t expect that after so many years, there would still be a day when everyone would reunite!”
Gaia could not help but ask with a shocked expression, “What? You’ve been to this world before? How were we able to break through the restriction on the Black Hole previously?”
Gajero looked at the face that was exactly the same as his and said in a deep voice, “The world that we haven’t been to should be the real Human World, and this should be the world of the Phantoms! However, didn’t this Black Hole here have the same restrictions as the Human World? We mistakenly thought that we were in the Human World!”
Gaia’s mind was in a mess. He could not even remember why he and Gajero had come in here and when they had mistakenly regarded this place as the Human World.
The Phantom who had just arrived heard Gajero’s logical analysis and said coldly, “Gajero, you shouldn’t have come back here. I could have let you escape in a sorry state before, but not anymore!”
Gajero squinted his eyes. His experience in the Phantom World made his existing wounds hurt once again. Although his current strength was much stronger than his, the injuries he suffered due to the Protoss’s restrictions made him much weaker.
The Phantom suddenly said, “Gajero, take your men and get out of the Phantom World. I promise you in the name of the Phantom Emperor that I won’t make things difficult for you! However, if you still insist on being stubborn, then don’t blame me for settling the score with you. Also, you have to pay with your life for the two sons that I just lost to you!”
Despite the warnings of the Phantom, Gajero and Gaia could not care less. They even showed disdainful expressions on their faces.
The Demon Race had launched countless wars and had encountered countless dangerous situations that almost caused them to die. Some of them were even more dangerous than the current situation. The demon soldiers who followed Gajero step by step had all survived. Therefore, when they were faced with the threat by the Phantom Race, not only were Gajero and Gaia not afraid, they even felt inexplicably excited.
Gajero lowered his hands slowly and said in a deep voice, “Lazarus, it was only because I didn’t understand the abilities of the Phantom Race that you had the chance to take advantage of me! Now that I know the abilities of the Phantom Race that has the ability to replicate authority and laws, do you think you can still defeat me?”
For the first time, a serious expression appeared in Lazarus’s eyes. He looked at Gajero and said with a murderous aura, “Since you already know the secrets of the Phantom Race, I will kill you today no matter what!”
After saying that, Lazarus raised his hand and pointed at Gajero. A light ball filled with a destructive aura began to condense between his fingers.
However, Gajero did not give in. He raised his hand and pointed at Lazarus. He began to prepare the destructive light pillar once again.
“Boom!”
The two destructive light rays collided, causing countless rays of light to scatter in all directions. They directly shattered the surrounding space into pieces.
When the floating cities saw this, they could only hover in the air, not daring to get close to the ground. This was because the battle was no longer something that they could participate in!
Meanwhile, in the space tunnel, Vincent and Justin were witnessing this top-notch collision.
Vincent looked at Gajero and could not help but sigh softly, “I didn’t expect Gajero’s ability to be so monstrous. Despite the Phantom Emperor’s strength, Gajero can still stand shoulder to shoulder with him. If this battle continues, it won’t be long before the entire Phantom Race is destroyed. The battle between these two is enough to destroy any world!”
Justin, on the other hand, nodded solemnly and said, “Although that’s true, an attack of this level is not unavoidable. Right now, Gajero’s injuries have yet to recover, and his sidekick’s arm has been crippled by the Phantom using the laws of destruction. He won’t be able to heal his wounds in a short period of time. This is already the best opportunity for us to strike!”
Vincent sighed slowly and meaningfully. Although he felt that this plan was still too risky, he had to make an attempt with Justin because he needed to return to the Phantom World to find Kurt’s whereabouts. Otherwise, his next plan would not be able to proceed!
Alexia, who had been standing by the side, suddenly said, “No matter what you are thinking, I advise you not to leave this place for the time being, and not to interfere in father’s battle. Otherwise, you will suffer unbearable consequences!”
Vincent replied disapprovingly, “Are you still thinking about Gajero at this time? Now is the time when he is at his weakest. We will definitely not let go of this good opportunity!”
After seeing that Vincent had made up his mind, Alexia could not help but sneer and say, “I am just afraid that if you die, I will be locked in here forever! If you don’t know what’s good for you, just go and die!”
Vincent no longer paid attention to Alexia. He turned to Justin and instructed, “Later, we’ll act at the same time. Pay attention to maintaining the distance between us and Gajero. If we find ourselves in a dangerous situation, immediately retreat. I’ll cooperate with you from a relatively safe place. At the same time, it’ll be convenient for you to leave Gajero’s attack range at the first opportunity!”
Justin clenched his nearly solid fists and said confidently, “Ever since I died, I have never recovered to be as strong as I am now. Don’t worry about me later. Do what you have to do. I can handle it!”
Vincent nodded and then looked at Alexia with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Alexia quickly said, “Don’t send me back. I am now controlled by the Cosmic Threads. I will definitely not run around!”
Vincent retracted his gaze and ignored Alexia. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, opening a space door in front of Justin.
After opening the space door, the chaotic storm from outside immediately rushed into the space tunnel, causing the three of them who were in the tunnel to tremble.
However, before Justin could make a move, Alexia, who had previously promised Vincent repeatedly that she would stay put, took the lead to rush out of the space tunnel.
Vincent, who had been baptized by the storm had expected Alexia to react that way. He raised his left hand and aimed at the moving Alexia. He shouted, “Space confinement!”
The space around Alexia suddenly compressed. The space barrier stuck close to her body and trapped her on the spot. She was unable to move. She could only watch as the space door that was only a step away from her slowly closed.
Vincent walked in front of Alexia with a disapproving look on his face and said softly, “A stubborn person like you who would rather die than fight back. You even lied and said that you will cooperate and stay here. If you practice this kind of acting for a few more years, maybe then, you might be able to deceive me!”
Alexia’s face was livid with anger. However, she also knew that no matter what she said, Vincent would no longer believe her. Fortunately, she did not say anything and avoided Vincent’s gaze.
Vincent turned to look at Justin, motioning for him to hurry up.
Justin immediately moved and rushed out of the space tunnel. Countless bloody lights surged around him as he rushed straight toward Gajero.
Vincent followed closely behind Justin and left the space tunnel.
At the same time that the two of them left, the space door immediately closed, leaving Alexia alone in the space tunnel.
“Vincent, you b*stard! I curse you to die a horrible death. My father will definitely tear you into pieces and burn your bones into ashes!”
At that moment, the confrontation between Gajero and Lazarus was still evenly matched. However, when Justin suddenly entered the battlefield, it instantly affected the balance of the battle.
“Be careful, Chief!”
Gaia was the first to notice Justin’s appearance and quickly moved to shield Gajero. He wanted to block Justin’s attack using his own strength.
However, Gaia had long lost an arm under Lazarus’s destructive attack. Moreover, he was still unable to recover. The aura of the Demon World continued to surge out from his broken arm, greatly weakening his strength.
Justin, on the other hand, had completely suppressed his injuries. Moreover, with the help of the souls provided by Vincent, his strength had increased a lot.
Under this situation, Gaia was completely unable to stop Justin, who only had the strength of a level 75 creature!
Justin roared loudly, “Gajero, give me your life!”
The blood-red light covering his body turned into a large blood-red hand, directly lifting Gaia who was blocking his way. His blood-red hand then turned into a huge blood-red sword, directly slashing at Gajero’s head.
Gayero, who had his full attention on Lazarus, caught a glimpse of the angry Justin from the corner of his eye. He could not help but sneer, “Since you’re still alive, it means that that guy is still alive. It seems that I’ve been fooled by him once again! But it doesn’t stop me from killing you again!”
As soon as Gajero finished speaking, the destructive light rays that were shooting everywhere in the air instantly turned into arcs and filled the entire sky, gradually forming a space that was isolated from the outside world.
“Open the destruction domain!”
As Gajero roared in a deep voice, an energy that was filled with the aura of destruction and death rapidly spread out with him as the center.
Justin, who was the closest to Gajero, instantly sensed the dangerous aura. He quickly withdrew the blood sword in the sky and transformed it into a blood-colored shield to shield his body.
The destructive aura instantly swept over Justin, thinning his shield.
When Justin saw this, he realized that he had underestimated Gajero’s strength. He immediately wanted to return to Vincent’s body and make a new plan.
However, Justin was horrified when he discovered that he had lost contact with Vincent!
