Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Vincent left the space tunnel, he immediately left the battlefield. He hid behind a huge rock.

“Kurt, can you hear me? Where are you now?”

Vincent pressed onto the device in his ears. He was worried about Kurt’s safety.

If something happened to Kurt, Vincent would lose the fastest way to leave the Phantom World. He might even be trapped in the Phantom World and die under the pursuit of Gajero and the leaders of the Phantom Race.

“Mr. Vincent, I’m below the original city wall, in the underground space that we dug yesterday!”

Vincent suddenly heard Kurt’s voice coming from his earpiece and let out a sigh of relief.

“Alright, wait here, I’ll go look for you now!” said Vincent in a hurry.

He stood up from behind the boulder and was prepared to go look for Kurt.

However, what Vincent saw was that the battlefield around Gajero had turned into a huge pitch-black ball.

For Vincent who had the power of a domain, the scene before him was not unfamiliar. This was because he could sense that someone had activated a domain!

“Justin, how are you now? Gajero had initiated the destruction domain, you must be careful!”

Vincent immediately contacted Justin, but he did not receive any response. Only then did he realize that Justin was already trapped in Gajero’s domain, and the connection between him and Justin had been cut off.

Vincent immediately made up his mind and gave up on the idea of going to meet Kurt. He turned around and rushed toward the pitch-black domain.

“Purgatory of Nature!”

Vincent roared and summoned his own domain. At the same time, he raised both his hands toward the black domain and used the authority to modify it.

Although Vincent had long possessed the Purgatory of Nature and had seen the power of the Ultimate Evil Lord’s domain, this was the first time he had forcefully barged into someone else’s domain. Therefore, he did not know whether the method that he was using would succeed.

As he was facing Gajero whose strength far surpassed his, Vincent did not dare to be careless. There were only two methods that he could think of.

One was to use the power of modification to connect Gajero’s domain and the outside world. The other was to use his own domain power to forcefully break through Gajero’s domain!

As it concerned Justin’s safety, Vincent did not have the time to try it out one by one. He used two abilities at the same time, preparing to forcefully break through the boundaries of the domain.

“Buzz!”

When the boundary of Vincent’s domain and Gajero’s domain came into contact, the entire world instantly sank causing an ear-piercing buzzing sound to ring out.

Vincent could clearly feel the two domains colliding, as well as them fusing together. However, there was still a huge gap between Vincent and Gajero’s strengths. Therefore, Vincent was unable to fuse his domain with Gajero’s domain on an equal footing. Instead, it was more like it was about to be devoured by Gajero’s destruction domain.

At that moment, the modification authority that Vincent had displayed also began to take effect. A circular door slowly opened at the boundary of the destruction domain, revealing a space filled with the aura of destruction within.

Vincent did not hesitate at all. He immediately activated his Flaming Sun Divine Body and spiritualized his entire body with fire. He flapped his 12 Flaming Wings behind him and directly charged into the destruction domain.

As Vincent entered, the domain of destruction immediately changed. In an area with Vincent as the center, a crimson mountain slowly rose. Surging magma and dark green gravestones soon emerged from the ground as well.

Hades, who was bathing under the magma waterfall, opened his eyes and stood up with a bang. He dragged his greatsword and strode to Vincent’s side.

It was only then that Vincent realized that his Purgatory of Nature was inside Gajero’s domain. The space had been compressed to an extremely small size, but Vincent could not feel a trace of destructive aura as he was inside of his own domain. This meant that his domain had effectively avoided the rules within Gajero’s domain.

Vincent did not have time to think any further and immediately contacted Justin, “Justin, come back immediately!”

This time, he received a response very quickly. A red shadow flashed across the distance and quickly entered Vincent’s body. It then slowly floated away from Vincent’s body and stood in front of Vincent with a terrified look on its face, panting heavily.

Vincent looked at Justin, whose figure was much more transparent, and could not help but ask, “How are you feeling? Are your injuries serious?”

Justin shook his head and said, “I was prepared this time and was not directly hit by the aura of destruction. It’s a pity that my strength, which I just recovered, has been greatly weakened. The combat strength of Gajero is indeed terrifying. If you want to survive under the aura of destruction, you have to use your psionic power to withstand the damage of the aura of destruction. If you are not careful, you might be completely buried in this domain!”

Justin suddenly realized that there was no destructive aura flowing around him. He could not help but say with a surprised expression, “Are we outside of Gajero’s domain? Why can’t we feel that terrifying aura?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “We are still in Gajero’s domain, but my domain can effectively resist the rules of his domain!”

Justin could not help but look at Vincent with envy after hearing what he had said.

The collision between different domains could only be seen in battles between the top experts of the Black Hole races. He did not expect Vincent to have the qualifications to fight against Gajero’s domain.

Vincent asked Justin, “What’s the situation outside now? What should we do next?”

Justin took a deep breath and said with a helpless expression, “Right now, the entire domain is filled with the aura of destruction. No one can even move an inch inside, let alone get close to Gajero. Moreover, that Phantom Emperor had also replicated Gajero’s ability. Although he was not affected by the aura of destruction, he was suppressed by Gajero throughout the entire time. I don’t think we should place our hopes on him!”

Vincent could not help but frown and say, “Then, you’re saying we don’t stand a chance now. But I don’t believe that Gajero is that invincible. The Phantom Emperor was able to copy his ability, which means that his level is about the same as his. As long as we use the right method, we still have a chance to turn this battle around!”

Justin, who had wanted to persuade Vincent to give up, could not help but perk up when he heard this. He asked curiously, “Have you thought of another method?”

Vincent pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist and said confidently, “It’s not a very good idea. It’s just that I’ve gained a lot of different abilities during this period of time. In addition, we have the Phantom Emperor that we can use. I can still make a difference!”

Justin became excited and said boldly, “Alright, then I’ll accompany you to try again!”

Vincent flew up and slowly landed on the tall tombstone at the edge of the Purgatory of Nature. He looked at the space in front of him that had been completely destroyed by the destructive aura.

Gajero and Lazarus were confronting each other at the center of the destruction domain. The terrifying destructive aura was spreading out in waves with the two of them as the center. After touching the boundary of the domain, the aura began to shrink inward.

The aura of destruction collided with each other, creating an even more powerful storm of destruction. It could be said that no corner of the domain was safe!

Vincent sighed slowly, allowing himself to relax. He then exerted strength under his feet, instantly crushing a tombstone. He flew into the domain of destruction like an arrow that was released from a bow. He charged straight toward Gajero, who was in the center.

At that moment, Gajero was still busy dealing with Lazarus using the destruction ray. He had sensed that someone had forcefully entered his domain, but he was unable to divert his attention to look for traces of the intruder.

Gajero looked at Lazarus and said with a gloomy tone, “Lazarus, although you copied me, you do not have any domain abilities. Therefore, you are no match for me now. If you continue to forcefully hold on, you will only die. It is better to stop early and run far away. Perhaps I can spare your life!”

Lazarus was not convinced by Gajero’s words. He said firmly, “I was able to expel you from the Phantom World back then, I can do it again! Today, not only do I want to defeat you, but I also want to prove to all the races in the Black Hole that it’s not the Demon Race that will conquer them in the future, but our Phantom Race!”

Gajero’s eyes instantly revealed a strong killing intent after hearing what Lazarus had said. He said in a deep voice, “I originally wanted to make peace with you, but I didn’t expect that you would actually want to extend your hand to all the races of the Black Hole. Today, I will let you know that you are not worthy to be my opponent, and the Phantom Race is not worthy to be the Demon Race’s opponent at all!”

“Then you can come and try!” shouted Lazarus.

Lazarus was angered by Gajero. He did not show any signs of weakness.

Gajero’s face was extremely gloomy. Everything he had said to Lazarus was the truth. His strength was indeed much higher than Lazarus’s, but his body still had injuries that had not yet fully recovered. Therefore, he was unable to completely display his full strength.

Under the burning rage, Gajero summoned his subordinate that was hiding behind him, “Gaia!”

“Chief!”

Gaia carefully poked his head out from behind Gajero and looked at Gajero with an inquisitive gaze.

Gajero said expressionlessly, “Go around Lazarus and ambush him! I will control the destruction aura so as to not harm your demon core. With the recovery ability of the Demon Race, you will definitely be able to withstand the damage of the destruction aura!”

When Gaia heard this, fear flashed across his eyes. However, he still walked out from behind Gajero.

The moment he lost Gajero’s protection, Gaia’s entire body disintegrated and turned into dust in the destructive storm. However, there was still a vertical eye-shaped core floating. This proved that he did not die and had survived in the destructive storm.

However, the wounds caused by the destructive storm could not be healed. Gaia could not recover his limbs at all. He could only rely on his consciousness to control his demon core to float toward Lazarus.

Lazarus saw the vertical eye that gradually flew to his side and immediately sensed danger. However, at that moment, he was completely distracted by Gajero and could only watch the approaching danger.

Lazarus and Gajero were immune to the destructive storm.

A small vacuum zone without a destructive aura soon formed behind Lazarus.

When the demon core of Gaia floated behind Lazarus, it began to condense the aura of the Demon World again, slowly rebuilding its missing limbs.

Gaia, who had recovered his head, looked at Lazarus and could not help but say proudly, “Phantom Emperor of the Phantom Race, right? Today, you will definitely die at the hands of my Lord Gajero, and the Phantom Race will eventually be conquered by the Demon Race!”

Lazarus’s face was filled with unwillingness and fear. He was not afraid of Gajero in terms of strength. However, he did not have a reliable helper by his side. Even if he took the initiative to ask for peace from Gajero, Gajero would not agree at all!

“Phantom Emperor, don’t worry, I’ll help you!”

At that moment, a shout resounded through the heavens and earth. When the three creatures who were at the center of the storm heard this, their expressions instantly changed!

Gajero naturally recognized that this voice belonged to Vincent. In other words, he might have killed the wrong individual previously. The one who looked exactly like Vincent was just a Phantom in disguise!

Vincent’s sudden appearances had continuously ruined his plans time and time again, giving Gajero a bad premonition!

Lazarus, who was confronting Gajero, had a smug smile on his face because he did not know Vincent’s identity. After hearing Vincent’s voice, the first thing he thought of was that the Phantom experts had come to support him!

As both sides currently had helpers, Lazarus became even more confident in fighting against Gajero!

At that moment, the one with the most terrified and panicked expression was Gaia, who was standing behind Lazarus. This was because his body had not been completely reconstructed. Most of his demon core was still exposed in the air. Anyone could cause him fatal damage!

Gaia prayed silently in his heart as he tried his best to reconstruct his body, “I can’t worry too much about it. I only hope that it’s a blind man who won’t notice my demon core”

Unfortunately, it was Vincent who arrived. He was not blind. Plus, he was a cold-blooded killer who would not miss any details!

Facing the chaotic storm of destruction, Vincent’s fire spiritualized body was constantly destroyed by the destructive aura. However, he used the fire law and the flame authority to constantly summon new flames to repair his body. He arrived at the center of the domain almost unscathed.

Vincent, who had come for Gajero, did not pay attention to Gajero at the first moment. He also did not pay attention to the Phantom Emperor Lazarus who was shouting. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Gaia who was behind Lazarus.

Since the beginning of the battle between the Elf Race and the Demon Race, Vincent had paid the most attention to the core of the Demon Race. When he saw Gaia’s exposed demon core, he could not suppress the excitement and joy in his heart.

Vincent exclaimed with joy, “This is truly a heaven-sent opportunity. I’ve gained another puppet for nothing!”

He immediately raised his left hand and aimed it at Gaia. A few invisible threads suddenly appeared from the evil fate ring on his index finger and flew into the air before falling down silently.

One of the threads accurately pierced into Gaia’s demon core. Gaia, who had yet to complete his body reconstruction, became absent-minded in an instant. He stood rooted to the ground like a statue, his mind constantly filling with information. His leader was slowly changing from Gajero to Vincent.

Gaia’s entire body was trembling as he shouted in a low voice intermittently, “My master will always be Gajero. No one can change that!”

He was doing his best to fight against the information that was flowing into his mind. After all, his strength was far greater than Vincent’s. Just a Cosmic Thread would not be able to erase his consciousness in a split second.

However, Gaia was focusing all of his energy on resisting Vincent, which slowed down the speed of his body reconstruction.

Shortly after that, countless transparent threads pierced into his demon core one after another, causing the information he had been receiving to increase exponentially.

“My, my master is… is Vincent!”

In the end, Gaia could not resist anymore and became a puppet that had completely lost its rationality. He stood motionlessly behind Lazarus and continued to reconstruct its body.

After Vincent successfully controlled Gaia’s actions, his heart was instantly filled with joy. At the same time, he greedily threw out a few Cosmic Threads and stealthily spread them toward Gajero.

If he was lucky enough to control Gajero, then Vincent would be able to fulfill his destiny ahead of time, allowing the demons that had massacred half of the Black Hole World to be leaderless and unable to recover!

However, when the Cosmic Threads successfully touched Gajero, Vincent did not feel any connection between him and Gajero. Gajero did not show any abnormalities.

“B*stard! The Cosmic Threads is indeed in your hands, die!”

Gajero suddenly roared angrily. At the same time, a pitch-black ray of light emerged from his head and started to spread upward.

Vincent could clearly see a black ray of light at that moment. The light was following along the Cosmic Threads and continuously spreading toward him. He also had a good understanding of the abilities of the Demon Race. He instantly recognized that black ray of light. It was the filthy laws of the demons!

Once he was touched by the black light with the filthy laws, Vincent believed that he would instantly be polluted by the demons and become a puppet of Gajero!

“Break!”

Vincent did not dare to hesitate, he quickly cut off the Cosmic Threads that were connected to Gajero. At the same time, he did not dare to try to use the Cosmic Threads to control Lazarus.

Firstly, because Lazarus had the same ability as Gajero, he could naturally counter the control of the Cosmic Threads.

Secondly, Vincent’s next plan required Lazarus to remain clear-headed!

Vincent controlled Gaia and continued to stand behind Lazarus. Suddenly, he charged forward with all his might and kicked Gaia to the ground, causing him to fall at Lazarus’s feet. He acted as if he was helping Lazarus out, but in reality, he wanted to continue using Lazarus’s body to avoid the storm of destruction.

“Lord Emperor, let me help you!”

Vincent walked to Lazarus’s side and raised the Return Journey of the Dead in his hand, pointing at the destructive light between Gajero and Lazarus.

“Modify the refraction!” shouted Vincent.

The destructive light that was originally spreading in a straight line in front of Gajero suddenly refracted upward. It then changed directions in the air one after another and headed straight toward Gajero’s back!
