Chapter 518: Retreat to Advance, and Fight for a Chance
“Gajero is dead, we’ve succeeded!”
The elf army cheered happily when they saw Ramirez vanish into thin air.
On the other hand, the army from the capital of Ultimate Evil were confused when they saw their opponents celebrating their victory. They all stopped and looked around. They did not understand which side had lost.
Adolphus and the others, who were in the sky, finally witnessed Vincent using his Hand of God. However, they longer needed to besiege Vincent.
This was because they believed that the Ultimate Evil Lord would take care of him.
However, at that moment, the Ultimate Evil Lord’s face had become thin, and his figure was like an old man who was near death. The confrontation between him and Ramirez earlier had reached a critical stage. They were both fighting for their lives. Although it was destined for the Ultimate Evil Lord to win, the fight had caused great damage to his body.
Vincent’s sudden attack had broken the balance between the two, causing Ramirez to suffer a crushing defeat. At the same time, it had also exposed the Ultimate Evil Lord’s weakest side.
However, the Ultimate Evil Lord did not fear Vincent despite his weakness being exposed. He took a deep breath and withdrew all the law chains in the sky into the domain behind him.
“Vincent! I can tell that you have strong feelings for the elves, but if you want to become strong, you should give up your feelings! You have used the Hand of God. You have no power to stop us from doing anything. If you don’t surrender, I will order the extermination of this race!” said the Ultimate Evil Lord slowly with a weak face. However, his tone was very harsh, making everyone tremble in fear.
At that moment, all the elves turned their gazes toward Vincent. If Vincent chose to fight the Ultimate Evil Lord to the end, then all the elves are willing to pay any price to fight together with their greatest God until the last moment!
However, Vincent did not hesitate at all and directly ended his fire spiritualization. Only his flaming wings remained. They continued to emit the flame divine light and maintained his figure in mid-air.
Vincent said to the Ultimate Evil Lord with a calm expression, “I won’t resist, but you must agree to one condition!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord showed a hint of displeasure. He asked in a deep voice, “What condition?”
Vincent looked at the Ultimate Evil Lord and the powerful figures behind him. He turned to look at the elves on the ground and said in a serious tone, “As long as you promise that you will not harm any elf, and then let me help the elves close the Black Hole, I will go back with you. I will be at your disposal. I will share with you the laws and authority that I have obtained. I can give you whatever you want!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord’s eyes were fixed on Vincent. It was as if he was caught in between a difficult decision.
However, in fact, the Ultimate Evil was just hesitating whether to believe Vincent’s sincerity.
Invading the elves was meaningless to the Ultimate Evil Lord. Plus, his reconstruction of the capital of Ultimate Evil was basically complete. He no longer needed to plunder for more resources. At that moment, the only thing that the Ultimate Evil Lord wanted was the power of authority. Whether it was the flame authority that Vincent had obtained in the Arena of Life and Death, or the power of modification authority that he had suddenly revealed, they were all abilities that the Ultimate Evil Lord yearned for the most.
Out of the four god-level abilities, the Ultimate Evil Lord had already possessed the power of law and the power of domain. His progress in becoming a god was already 50% complete!
As long as he obtained the power of authority, the Ultimate Evil Lord would be able to take another step toward becoming a god-level powerhouse. At that time, he would no longer have to be afraid of the Protoss that gave Vincent the Hand of God!
It was not that the Ultimate Evil Lord had not thought of other solutions. Back when Vincent had escaped from the capital, the Ultimate Evil Lord wanted to transfer the modification authority from Adolphus onto himself. However, after countless attempts, he almost tortured Adolphus to death, but was still unable to successfully transfer the modification authority to himself. This left him no choice but to turn his gaze back to Vincent.
After all, Vincent knew how to teach others the modification authority!
Therefore, his burning purpose was to capture Vincent alive. However, the Ultimate Evil lord did not dare to believe Vincent’s conditions. This was because, in his eyes, Vincent was a very bad liar. Not only did he deceive his trust, but he had also deceived his adopted daughter. He had tricked a group of experts in the capital of Ultimate Evil to kill each other, so much so that the vampires had lost a level 75 leader!
As Vincent had suddenly agreed to compromise, the Ultimate Evil Lord became wary. He did not dare to accept his offer.
Vincent noticed that the Ultimate Evil Lord was hesitating. He smiled and said, “Today, you must agree to my conditions! If you dare to hurt any member of the Elf Race, or even touch any of the Elf Race’s resources, I will immediately escape and spend the rest of my life taking revenge on you and the entire capital of Ultimate Evil! Right now, you are too weak. Although my strength is not comparable to the others, I will not be at a disadvantage when it comes to escaping. If you allow me to escape, are you sure you will be able to find my whereabouts again?”
The Ultimate Evil Lord no longer hesitated and immediately said, “Alright, I can agree to your conditions, but you must first hand over Irene!”
Vincent did not expect the Ultimate Evil Lord to think so highly of Irene. However, he would not let any of his companions fall into the hands of the Ultimate Evil Lord. Therefore, he sneered and said, “Long before we came here, Irene and I had already parted ways. Moreover, she is not willing to see you now. After all, it was you who personally destroyed her home and killed her clansmen back then!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord suddenly trembled. His eyes were instantly filled with killing intent toward Vincent. He was ready to kill Vincent at any time.
However, his anger quickly disappeared and turned into indifference. He decided to let go of everything.
The Ultimate Evil Lord sighed in a deep voice, “Forget it. Since she already knows, then our father-daughter relationship will end here! But you must not play any tricks on me, or else I will definitely destroy everything you want to protect!”
Vincent spread his hands and nodded, “Deal! Now you should give me some time, I want to start making arrangements to close the Black Hole of the Elf Race!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord asked with a surprised expression, “You have the ability to close the Black Hole?”
Vincent nodded and said confidently, “Of course! If you want me to help you close the black hole in the capital of Ultimate Evil, I can do it too!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord did not answer Vincent’s suggestion. Instead, he waved his hands and summoned a purple chain from the void. It extended in front of Vincent and bound Vincent’s right wrist.
The Ultimate Evil Lord warned coldly, “This is my space law chain. If you leave the space where I am, my law chain will pull you back and destroy your body and soul! Now you can move freely, but you only have one day!”
Vincent shook his right hand and realized that the law chain would not affect his movements. Thus, he put his knife back into its sheath indifferently and said to the Ultimate Evil Lord with a smile, “Then we will meet again here one day later!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord did not have any objections when he heard that. He raised his hand and waved it in the air. Three spaceships quickly flew over and began to connect with one another in the air. It formed a huge castle and landed in the deep pit in Imperial City.
The Ultimate Evil Lord immediately turned around and flew back into the castle. Adolphus and the others looked at Vincent before leading their men into the castle.
Vincent took a deep breath and let down the pressure in his heart. He turned around and flew back to the elf army.
Vincent said to the elf army with a happy face, “Let’s go back to Serene Spring City and have a celebratory feast!”
The elf army, on the other hand, had a look of grief and indignation on their faces. It was difficult for them to accept that the god they believed in was being forced to leave just like that.
Dave and Melissa, who had already become gods, came up to Vincent and said with a solemn expression, “Vincent, don’t go with them. The Elf Race can die in battle for their beliefs, but they cannot watch you be humiliated!”
Vincent walked forward and put his hands on the shoulders of his two disciples. He hugged them and walked alongside the army of elves. They headed toward Serene Spring City.
Vincent smiled and said, “You don’t have to be sad. My destination has always been the depths of the Black Hole. It doesn’t matter how I leave! Right now, they can only threaten me with the survival of the elves. After I help you close the Black Hole, what right do they have to control me?”
After hearing Vincent’s confident retort, Dave and Melissa felt a little better, but they did not completely believe that Vincent had the means to escape from their hands.
After all, the other party was a powerhouse that was stronger than Ramirez. Even if Vincent did not have any worries, escaping from their hands would be a matter of life and death.
However, Vincent had already comforted everyone with such confidence. Hence, everyone could only accept it.
Vincent looked at his disciples who were no longer resisting and said with a smile, “That’s right! You must remember that we defeated Ramirez today, eliminated the Demon Race’s control over the Elf Race, and took back the Elf World. This is a great victory, and we must celebrate it with a wild celebration! Also, send someone to the headquarters of the Light Guardian Council to inform Horace to hurry back. Tomorrow, I want you to cooperate with me to close the Elf Race’s Black Hole so that the Elf Race will not be threatened by the outside world from now on!”
Dave and Melissa bowed their heads and replied, “Yes!”
They did not want the gloominess and reluctance on their faces to affect the other elves.
After returning to Serene Spring City, a grand banquet was quickly organized under the arrangements of Melissa and Dave.
During the banquet, all the elves were singing praises to Vincent, showing their joy and excitement through drinking, singing, and dancing. Only a few elves appeared to be unhappy during the banquet.
Other than Dave and Melissa, the most unhappy one was High Priest Monica.
After knowing that Vincent would leave the next day, Monica felt that she had lost everything even though she was sitting beside Vincent at this time.
Vincent raised his wine glass and clinked it lightly with the glass in Monica’s hand. He smiled and said, “Don’t be unhappy. You are my number one believer. From now on, no matter where I go, I can respond to you. We can keep communicating at any time!”
Upon hearing that, Monica looked at Vincent with excitement and asked happily, “Really? No matter where you go in the future, will you continue to look after the Elf Race?”
Vincent nodded and said seriously, “Yes, it is my responsibility to protect the Elf Race, just like how I want to protect the Human Race. If there is a chance in the future, I can also tell you how to build a teleportation array. When the Human Race and the Elf Race establish an independent channel, we might meet again one day!”
Monica instantly swept away the haze in her heart and said with anticipation, “That’s good! From now on, the Elf Race and the Human Race are allies!”
Vincent nodded and looked at Dave and Melissa.
They were Vincent’s disciples and had witnessed Vincent’s contribution to the Elf Race.
Dave and Melissa nodded and said, “Master, we have unanimously decided that from now on, you are the supreme god of the Elf Race, and your status is far above that of the other gods. You have the right to represent the Elf Race and express goodwill to any race. The entire Elf Race will follow your will and never go against it!”
Vincent raised his cup and cheered, “Okay, then I wish the elf gods prosperity and well-being!”
Everyone raised their cups together and replied to Vincent, “I wish the elf gods prosperity and well-being!”
After drinking wine, Vincent suddenly felt a large amount of power of faith surge in his body. The divine spark between his brows condensed into a red-light spot, symbolizing that the position of the divine spark in front of Vincent was becoming smaller and smaller. It gradually became a magic treasure and an ability that Vincent could control freely.
At the same time, Vincent’s strength had improved once again. He had become a level 47 creature, which also meant that he had won the faith of all the elves!
After a night, the elves in Serene Spring City were still in deep sleep after a hangover. Vincent brought Melissa and Dave out of the city gate silently, and he happened to see Horace, who had rushed back overnight.
“Sir Vincent, you’ve succeeded! I saw countless Origin Divine Trees growing in the Tias Mountain Range. This means that the Elf Race has returned on the right track and can continue to develop in the direction of prosperity!”
The moment Horace saw Vincent, he took the initiative to share the good news.
Vincent nodded slightly and said to Horace, “The evil has passed. City Lord Winnie is leading Linus around to persuade the other elves and expose the collusion between the twelve apostles and the demons to the public. I believe that all the elves will soon choose to worship the elf gods again. Now is the time for me to leave. I will need the three of you who represent the highest ruler of the elves, to cooperate with me in front of the Black Hole. We will seal the Black Hole together!”
Horace looked at Vincent with surprise and confusion. He asked, “Are you leaving so soon? Actually, the elves still need you to guide them!”
Vincent raised his right hand and waved it in the air. Soon, a purple chain tied to his wrist appeared.
The other end of the chain led to the void. No one knew who was holding the other end.
Vincent said with a relaxed expression, “I had no choice! An old friend came to pick me up, so I can only hitch a ride and leave!”
Although Horace still had questions, he noticed that Dave and Melissa’s expressions were not good. They seemed to have a lot on their minds, so he could only remain silent in a daze and follow Vincent to Imperial City.
At that moment, in the steel castle, the weak Ultimate Evil Lord was sitting on his throne and was coughing non-stop. Standing in front of him were the leaders of the high-ranking races.
After seeing that the Ultimate Evil Lord’s condition was even worse than the day before, Adolphus and the others still did not dare to be rebellious. This was because they knew that the weak Ultimate Evil Lord still had the ability to kill everyone.
Moreover, they still needed to continue living in the capital of Ultimate Evil. They needed to continue to receive the protection of the Ultimate Evil Lord.
Marcus walked forward and said to the Ultimate Evil Lord with a concerned look, “Lord, it’s not yet time to meet with Vincent. Do you want to seize the time to recover your strength? After all, in your current state, it’s very easy for Vincent to have evil thoughts toward you!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord shook his head and sighed softly, “I’m not injured. It’s just that when I was fighting with Gajero’s clone, I had used up too much energy and my foundation was damaged. If I want to recover my strength, I will have to meditate in seclusion. However, I still need to maintain the law chains that bind Vincent. Otherwise, once he escapes, it’ll be like looking for a needle in a haystack if I want to catch him again!”
All the leaders fell silent. After what had happened, they all looked at Vincent from a completely different perspective.
This man was not only a liar but also a madman that no one could see through!
Whether it was Vincent who was still alive after trading with the Protoss, or whether he had given up on his safety to kill Ramirez, these were all actions that ordinary individuals could not understand.
However, Vincent had used this unique style to shock those self-proclaimed experts who thought they were high-level creatures.
They all had the strength of a level 60 creature and above, but they did not dare to face the powerful Gajero. In order to avoid the demons, they could only hide in the capital of Ultimate Evil.
However, Vincent could always fight on the front line against Gajero. He did not care about life and death, and he did not care about the price. He also wanted to do his best to give the demons a heavy blow. This made Adolphus and the others who had been deceived by Vincent, felt both hatred and respect for him.
At that moment, a Feathered Monster warrior walked into the hall and said respectfully, “Ultimate Evil Lord and leaders, Vincent has arrived!”
The Ultimate Evil Lord stood up and raised his hand. He grabbed the purple chain that had gradually appeared in the air. He then followed it outside of the castle. He said in a deep voice, “Let’s go and see how he closes the Black Hole!”
Adolphus and the others followed behind him and walked out of the castle gate. They saw Vincent with a calm expression and the three elves who were traveling with him.
Vincent sized up the Ultimate Evil Lord and said, “Not only is your condition not getting better, but it’s getting worse! It seems that maintaining the law chain has quite a big impact on you! I wonder if you can hold on until everyone returns to the capital of Ultimate Evil?”
The Ultimate Evil Lord stared deeply at Vincent and said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to worry about that. After you close the Black Hole, I will have my own way to control you!”
Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “Then let’s set off. I need to enter the Black Hole World and cooperate with these elves in the Elf World. Only then can I re-seal the Black Hole!”
Kaeger, who was standing behind the Ultimate Evil Lord, could not help but ask, “Then why didn’t you let us go directly into the Black Hole yesterday and wait for you? Why did you wait until now to set off?”
Vincent’s face suddenly revealed a harmless and brilliant smile. He said softly, “There are many companions who came with me. I can’t lock them in Elf World, so I must buy some time for them to leave. I believe that with the Ultimate Evil Lord’s status and measure, he won’t mind my little plans, right?”
