“What is this situation? Where am I?”

Linus was currently in the space tunnel. He looked at Vincent in front of him with a blank expression. He could see everything around him clearly, as though he was still standing on the street, however, he was unable to break through the invisible barrier in front of him. No matter how loud he shouted, no one was able to hear him. Vincent, who was a step away from him, also acted as if he did not hear him.

This made Linus even angrier. He waved the spear in his hand and smashed it toward the invisible space barrier in front of him.

However, even if he used all the power of a level 40 creature, he was unable to cause the slightest damage to the space barrier.

Finally, Linus was exhausted and began panting. He leaned on the spear in his hand. He looked at Vincent in front of him quietly, as if he wanted to see what he was up to.

Vincent did not disappoint Linus. After he dealt with Linus, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Now that I’ve finally dealt with the trouble, I need to get down to business!”

He then turned his head to look at the other side of the street.

He saw that the guards had retreated quietly. Instead, a tall demon figure appeared. It was Roderick, who had stayed behind to guard Imperial City!

“B*stard, I didn’t expect you to be brave enough to cause trouble tonight!”

Roderick looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him and growled angrily in a low voice.

He had originally wanted to pass the night peacefully. He wanted to wait until Ramirez’s anger had subsided and for his other companions to rush back. This way, his mission could be considered to have been successfully completed.

However, just as Roderick was about to rest, a warning sound was heard throughout the entire city. Roderick knew that this meant that a foreign race had entered Imperial City, and it had reached the point where he, a demon, had to personally take action!

Therefore, Roderick could only express his endless anger toward Vincent, wishing that he could tear him into pieces immediately.

Vincent looked at Roderick, who could be considered an acquaintance and sneered, “You came just in time, to save me from personally looking for you. Today is the day you die!”

Roderick did not expect Vincent to provoke him so arrogantly. This was the greatest insult to his noble identity as a demon.

“B*stard, I’ll let you know the consequences of provoking a demon today!”

Roderick growled and raised his hand in the air. A pitch-black broadsword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, Roderick disappeared from where he stood. He transformed into a pitch-black shadow and rushed toward Vincent.

Vincent did not resist at all after seeing this. Instead, he opened his hands and continued to look at Roderick provocatively, and slowly retreated step by step.

Roderick was so angry that his eyes looked as if they were going to blow up. He wanted to release his anger on Vincent after being looked down upon by his companions and reprimanded by Ramirez!

Just as his broadsword was about to hit Vincent, Vincent suddenly increased his speed, causing Roderick to miss his attack completely.

Roderick, who was being controlled by his anger, did not choose to stop. Instead, he gritted his teeth and increased his speed, vowing to slash at Vincent’s body.

Thus, he maintained the same distance from Vincent as before and flew directly behind Vincent.

Suddenly, Vincent, who was retreating, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. An invisible space door suddenly opened behind him.

Roderick did not have the time to react. He disappeared along with Vincent on the streets of the Imperial City.

As the space door closed once again, a flame slowly ignited in the space tunnel, illuminating Vincent and Roderick’s faces.

“There are too many Dark Elves on the streets outside, so it’s not suitable to be used as a battlefield. We don’t have any worries now, so let’s fight to the death here!”

Vincent’s left hand was burning with flames, and his right hand was holding a short staff. In the blink of an eye, the short staff had transformed into the Return Journey of the Dead.

Roderick looked at the weapon in Vincent’s hand and seemed to have come to a realization. He said, “What you did just now was to imitate the Vampire Race. You only dared to use your true methods here. This means that you are afraid of exposing your identity in the capital. Then you must be someone in the capital. You are Jacob!”

Vincent nodded calmly. He smiled and said, “You are indeed worthy of being the oracle left behind by Gajero to guard the capital. You are much smarter than the twelve apostles that you waved down! Unfortunately, even if you know my true identity now, you won’t be able to report this information to the other demons!”

Roderick looked at the confident Vincent and felt a little uneasy.

If it was a thousand years ago, when the demon army first invaded the Elf World, Roderick would have fought Vincent without any hesitation. Even if he was losing, he would still fight until his last breath.

However, after thousands of years of enjoyment in Elf World, Roderick seemed to be addicted to the idea of pleasure, which made him unwilling to give up that life, and even more unwilling to risk his life to fight.

Therefore, Roderick would rather delay time in exchange for a chance for his other companions or Ramirez to find him in the isolated space.

Even if he had the absolute advantage, Roderick was not willing to take the risk!

Vincent controlled his Hand of God to slowly increase in size, illuminating Roderick’s entire face. After seeing the timid expression on his face, the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a sneer.

He raised his hand and hung the Return Journey of the Dead on his waist. He asked in a relaxed tone, “It seems like you don’t want to fight with me now. Then why don’t we have a chat, how about it?”

Roderick secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said cautiously, “What do you want to talk about?”

Vincent withdrew his Hand of God. The flame in his palm gradually shrank, turning into a fireball that he could play with casually on his hand. While playing with it, he said, “Just tell me how you demons lured the elves to self-destruction step by step after conquering Elf World!”

Roderick thought that Vincent was trying to force some information about the demons from him, but he did not expect that Vincent’s focus was actually on the elves who were trash in his eyes. Therefore, he let down his guard and said frankly, “What self-destruction? The elves should have been destroyed after we defeated their Elf Kings thousands of years ago! We were merely showing mercy and gave them thousands of years to live on. Shouldn’t they pay the price for this?”

Vincent’s gaze suddenly turned cold as he said in a deep voice, “As an invader, you can actually say such shameless words. I really want to draw my weapon and slice you up right now!”

Roderick became nervous after hearing that. After seeing that Vincent was only threatening him and had no intention of drawing his weapon, he said, “Don’t blame me from your so-called righteous standpoint, because this is the survival rule of the Black Hole world! You hate me, which means that your race is weak, and my race is strong! But you might as well think about it from another perspective. If your race is far stronger than the demons, would you have already conquered the Demon World and killed all the demons? Or perhaps your race continues to play the role of the Demon Race! Every race actually follows the same rule from the moment they were born, which is endless devouring! Devouring the psionic energy of a world can make you stronger. Devouring some weak creatures can maintain your life and make your physical body stronger. Only by devouring weak races and the world they live in can a race obtain endless resources. At the same time, it is also a race worth developing in the long run!”

Vincent once again gripped the hilt of his knife and glared at Roderick before him. He said coldly, “Shut up! There has always been a saying in my world: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world! When we are weak, we will continue to work hard for our own survival. When we become stronger, we will be better at helping other races. We can exchange goods from other worlds, but we will never commit the evil slaughtering of other races and destroy other worlds! The evil that you demons have committed is not the inevitable choice of all races. Therefore, you must pay the most painful price for this!”

Roderick looked at Vincent, who had a murderous look on his face, and sighed helplessly. He shook his head and said, “It seems that you still don’t know the meaning of invasion. Do you know the Origin Divine Earth? That is the most important element in constructing the Elf World, and it was only after we demons learned about the uniqueness of the Origin Divine Earth that we decided to conquer Elf World! Using the Origin Divine Earth to make materials could directly open up a brand-new world in the Black Hole space. You could make a world that had been dead for a long time come back to life! This is such an important resource. Do you know how many powerful races in the Black Hole world were on the verge of collapsing due to excessive consumption? In order to obtain the Origin Divine Earth, they are willing to pay an unimaginable price. This is a temptation that no one, no race, can resist! Yet, such a weak race like the Elf Race is occupying such a resource. Shouldn’t they be exterminated? Should we, the high and mighty Demon Race, be allowed to trade with these ants that are crawling on the ground?”

Vincent heard this and slowly pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead. He sneered and asked, “So, you admit that you and the demons have been coveting the Origin Divine Earth since the beginning. And over the years, the twelve apostles have also excavated a large amount of Origin Divine Earth under your instructions?”

Roderick nodded and said, “That’s right! To tell you the truth, with our current speed of collecting the Origin Divine Earth, Elf World will completely collapse in less than 30 years! And the elves and those apostles who dream of becoming demons will all die!”

Vincent nodded and sighed softly, “You heard it clearly, right?”

As soon as he said that, the flame in Vincent’s left hand suddenly grew bigger, illuminating the wider space around him.

Not far from Vincent and Roderick stood Linus, whose face was full of fear. He slowly emerged from the shadows.
