Chapter 519 - Was Fraught With Danger, They Had Obtained A Divine Artifact
When everyone heard what Vincent said, they could not help but reveal shocked expressions.
They had originally thought that Vincent had no choice but to agree to the Ultimate Evil Lord"s request as the Ultimate Evil Lord was too powerful. However, they did not expect Vincent to make preparations in advance.
This was especially so for Dave and Melissa. They suddenly remembered that none of their companions showed up to the banquet the night before. Whether it was Avril, Angelina, Kurt, Ebenezer, Guru Harson, or Daniel, none of them had shown up. It turned out that they had long fled to the Black Hole World!
For the sake of his companions, it was understandable that Vincent had made such arrangements. Not only did Dave and the others think that Vincent had done the right thing, even Adolphus and the others felt that this was in line with Vincent"s style.
What truly shocked everyone was that Vincent had told the truth to the Ultimate Evil Lord. In addition, he had just ridiculed the Ultimate Evil Lord"s injuries. Was he not just blatantly telling the Ultimate Evil Lord that as long as he left Elf World and closed the Black Hole, he would be completely unburdened and could escape at any time?
Was he trying to provoke the Ultimate Evil Lord?
The Ultimate Evil Lord stared at Vincent for a long time before he suddenly laughed hoa.r.s.ely. His laughter was mixed with anger and coldness. He was like a monster that wanted to devour everything.
The Ultimate Evil Lord stopped laughing and asked in a cold tone, "Are you trying to challenge me? Are you determined to escape on the way back?"
Vincent nodded. He continued to smile and said, "I just want to remind you to be more careful with me! After all, I will never surrender without a fight. On the way back, you must seize the time to recover and arrange for the others to watch over me. However, your subordinates used to be my friends. If they showed mercy to me or were bewitched by me and accidentally let me go, wouldn"t that mean that all your efforts would be for naught?"
"What the f*ck..."
Kaeger and the others begin to curse after hearing that. They wanted nothing more than to rush over and sew Vincent"s mouth shut.
Not only did Vincent not take the initiative to beg for mercy, but he even wanted to sow discord between them.
What was even more ridiculous was that he was so brazen. He simply did not respect them as high-level creatures and their status as leaders.
The respect in everyone"s hearts toward Vincent had completely disappeared. Instead, they wanted to tear him into pieces!
Kaeger took the initiative to say, "Ultimate Evil Lord! After we leave, I would like to personally guard him for you! We"ll take good care of him along the way. I guarantee that when we return to the capital of Ultimate Evil, we"ll make him kneel in front of you and admit his mistake!"
Marcus also volunteered, "Count me in. I wanted to teach him a good lesson previously. Now that I have the opportunity, I must teach him a lesson!"
Although Adolphus was also disgusted with Vincent, he maintained his silence. He did not imitate Kaeger and Marcus, who were eager to express their loyalty to the Ultimate Evil Lord.
This was because what Vincent said was what the Ultimate Evil Lord was most worried about!
The temptation of the power of G.o.d could not even be rejected by the Ultimate Evil Lord, let alone other individuals!
If Vincent offered the power of G.o.d to the individuals guarding him in exchange for freedom, no one could guarantee what the result would be!
Even if they all guarded Vincent together, there was still the possibility of them cooperating with each other or backstabbing each other!
Therefore, even though Kaeger and Marcus had taken the initiative to guard Vincent, their actions did not represent loyalty. Instead, it aroused the suspicion of the Ultimate Evil Lord!
The leader of the Star Race, Manfred, also thought of the same point. Hence, he chose to remain silent and let Kaeger and Marcus act like clowns in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord.
The Ultimate Evil Lord stretched out his left hand and clenched it in the air. A dark purple scepter instantly appeared.
"Enough! I have my own plans for this matter. Let"s leave this place first!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord held the scepter and slammed it heavily on the ground. He was not bothered by Kaeger and Marcus. Instead, he sneered at Vincent and said, "No matter what you are planning, I will still maintain my demeanor and give you the chance to seal the Black Hole. Follow me!"
With that, the Ultimate Evil Lord turned around and walked back into the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Vincent took a deep breath and nodded at Dave and the others. He then walked into the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p under the disdainful eyes of Kaeger, Marcus, and the others.
Dave followed behind Vincent and whispered to Melissa, "Why do I suddenly feel that even if Vincent left with them, he might not be at a disadvantage?"
Melissa shook her head slightly, signaling Dave not to speak. At the same time, the worry in her heart had eased a lot.
With just a few words, Vincent had caused a group of powerhouses to become jealous. They even began cursing at each other. It seemed that Vincent really had a way to deal with them, which made them feel much more at ease!
When Vincent and the others walked onto the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, the steel castle immediately rose into the air and separated into three s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. They headed straight toward the Black Hole outside Dark Yuan City.
Before leaving the Black Hole, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p slowly stopped. Melissa, Dave, and Horace bid farewell to Vincent reluctantly and jumped off the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
Vincent then followed the remaining individuals from the capital of Ultimate Evil into the Black Hole and left Elf World. He made sure that the Elf World was no longer in danger.
After entering the Black Hole, Vincent walked to the front of the Black Hole and opened his arms as if he was brewing something. The remaining individuals were observing his every move.
In order to close the Black Hole, other than the G.o.d"s will of Elf World, Vincent will also need to mobilize the origin power of the Black Hole World. However, the Cup of Fate was still with Ebenezer. Therefore, Vincent had no choice but to try another method.
When he was still in the Human World, Vincent had a teacher whom he had only known for 20 days. He was a top genius of the Human Race!
Not only did he teach Vincent many of the necessary abilities to become strong, but he had also taught Vincent the ability that was always considered taboo by the Human Race, the ability to control the power of Black Holes!
Back when he was helping the Beast Race close the Black Hole, Vincent could not mobilize enough Black Hole power because he was too weak. He could only rely on the special ability of the Cup of Fate.
However, at that moment, Vincent wanted to try and see if he could use his own strength to mobilize sufficient Black Hole power!
Even if it was not possible, Vincent could also inform Kurt through the mini headset and have Ebenezer throw the Cup of Fate into the s.p.a.ce tunnel. Vincent could naturally use the tunnel token to get the Cup of Fate. He would not let the Ultimate Evil Lord have the slightest chance to take Ebenezer hostage.
Vincent also did not want to expose the existence of the Cup of Fate and the Cosmic Threads in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord!
Vincent began to focus his mind and followed the techniques taught by his master to mobilize the power of the surrounding black holes. He felt like a child trying to push a lofty mountain.
However, this was only the beginning for Vincent!
"Flaming Sun Divine Body!" shouted Vincent.
His entire body instantly entered the state of fire spiritualization. He spread the flaming wings on his back and countless divine flames of fire appeared, causing his power to increase exponentially.
Vincent was currently growing from a child to a giant that was on par with a tall mountain. He slowly loosen his hands and finally began to be driven by his will.
In the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, the Ultimate Evil Lord gathered his subordinates to observe Vincent, their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
"Can the power of the Black Hole really be controlled? Throughout all the races that I have met, I have never seen anyone who can use the power of the Black Hole. If there really is someone who can do it, wouldn"t that mean that he would be able to move freely between tens of thousands of worlds and be invincible?" asked Manfred.
He frowned and sighed with a solemn expression. He simply could not believe that Vincent was able to control the power of the Black Hole.
The Ultimate Evil Lord said in a deep voice, "The power of a Black Hole can indeed be controlled. I"ve seen someone do it before!"
Manfred and the others turned to look at the Ultimate Evil Lord. However, they did not dare to ask who that individual was.
The Ultimate Evil Lord sighed softly and muttered to himself, "That person is Gajero. After he betrayed me and monopolized all the Black Hole treasures, he had mastered the ability to control the power of the Black Hole! However, I did not expect that a weak race like Vincent would be able to control the power of the Black Hole without powerful resources."
Adolphus suddenly said, "Didn"t everyone realize that Vincent is actually not an elder? Although the race he belongs to is weak, they have extremely high intelligence. That is an unparalleled talent!"
After hearing that, everyone fell silent and continued to look at Vincent. At that moment, under Vincent"s full power, the elf"s Black Hole began to slowly shrink until it disappeared without a trace.
In the Elf World, Dave and the others looked at the Black Hole that had completely disappeared as if they were in a dream. They could not believe that this was real. After a long while, they looked at the sky in front of them and muttered, "Vincent is not only an elf G.o.d, but he is also the elf race"s benefactor!"
Vincent, who had successfully sealed the Black Hole, was also very excited. This was because he had received a gift from the Black Hole World during the process of activating the power of the Black Hole. He had obtained a brand-new ability, the Shadow of Desolation!
As long as he was in the Black Hole World, Vincent could use the power of the Black Hole to create an invisible clone. The clone had the same level as Vincent and could use all of Vincent"s abilities.
This was because the essence of the clone was the purest power of the Black Hole. The clone was equivalent to a part of the Black Hole World. It would not be noticed by anyone!
The Shadow of Desolation was equivalent to having an invisible method to kill. At the same time, it gave Vincent more confidence in his next plan!
The Ultimate Evil Lord who had been paying attention to Vincent was filled with ecstasy and greed.
From the Ultimate Evil Lord"s point of view, Vincent seemed to have endless treasures on him. Not only did he have the authority that he yearned for, but he also had an even rarer ability, the ability to control the power of the Black Hole!
As long as he slowly dug out Vincent"s secrets, the Ultimate Evil Lord believed that he would soon be able to raise his strength to be on par with, or even surpa.s.s, Gajero"s!
"I didn"t expect you to have so many secrets. This time, I will definitely hold you firmly in my hands!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord sighed greedily as he threw the scepter in his hand toward Vincent.
The bottom of the scepter was like a sharp sword. It cut through the void and pierced through Vincent"s shoulder from behind and extended to the front of his body.
Vincent, who was suddenly attacked, realized that he had lost all his strength. He could not bear the heavy burden and half-knelt on the ground. He was unable to heal the wounds on his body and blood was continuously flowing out.
At the same time, the law chains tied to Vincent"s wrist instantly fell off and returned to the Ultimate Evil Lord"s hands.
The Ultimate Evil Lord walked behind Vincent with a smug expression and said in a low voice, "You wanted me to take my time to recover so that you will have the opportunity to escape. It"s a pity that you don"t know that I have more than one method to control you!"
Vincent lowered his head and looked at the staff that pierced through his shoulder. Suddenly, a system notification appeared before his eyes.

Level: Universe-Cla.s.s, G.o.d-Level

Ability 3: Domain Key. It can make minor adjustments to other individuals" domains. It has 100% right to modify the user"s own domain.
Vincent looked at the weapon description in front of him. He could not help but smile and laugh to himself, "Hehe, I didn"t expect there to be such a pleasant surprise!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord ignored Vincent and said, "This scepter is my masterpiece. You have no chance to escape. You won"t have the chance to bewitch those who oppress you, because some of them want you dead!"
With that, the Ultimate Evil Lord then turned to look at Lionel, the new leader of the vampires.
The Ultimate Evil Lord said, "Vincent is under the full custody of the vampires. No one is allowed to interfere. Before returning to the capital of Ultimate Evil, the vampires can do anything to Vincent as long as he reaches the capital of Ultimate Evil alive!"
After hearing that, Lionel"s eyes immediately lit up. He said with a face full of joy, "Thank you, Lord. The Vampire Race will forever remember your kindness. I also pledge my life to you. I will definitely let Vincent reach the capital of Ultimate Evil alive!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord walked in front of Vincent and said with a face full of pride, "Lionel is Justin"s disciple. You killed his master. This kind of hatred is something that you cannot resolve no matter what! I want to see how you can escape from my hands while I am in seclusion."
Vincent raised his head and squeezed out a smile. He was in a lot of pain. He said to the Ultimate Evil Lord, "Nothing is absolute. I am still far from the capital of Ultimate Evil. I still have a chance!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord sneered and said, "Good! Then I will wait and see where you get your chance from!"
With that, the Ultimate Evil Lord turned around and left. He walked into the isolation room with pride and confidence.
Lionel lifted Vincent up with one hand and looked at the others sternly. He then carried Vincent into the depths of the cabin.
They soon arrived at the territory of the vampires. The vampires surrounded the cell and guarded it tightly. They did not give anyone the chance to get close to the cell, nor did they give the individuals in the cell any chance to escape.
Lionel was standing alone in the cell. He looked at Vincent who was hanging on the roof with a solemn face. He did not know why, but he suddenly felt that he might have fallen into Vincent"s trap!
This was because, at that moment, Vincent was not afraid. Instead, he was smiling happily.
"Vincent, you are about to die. Why are you still smiling? Justin, our leader, was killed by you personally. I will take my revenge today! Don"t a.s.sume that just because the Ultimate Evil Lord wants you to live, you have nothing to fear. I have many ways to make life worse than death!" said Lionel to Vincent angrily.
Vincent nodded and said calmly, "Alright, you don"t have to describe how much you hate me. I understand everything. Otherwise, I wouldn"t have spent so much effort to have you, a follower, come and guard me!"
"What did you say?"
Lionel looked at Vincent in shock. The way Vincent addressed him earlier was how his teacher, Justin, used to speak to him when he was young!
Vincent narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Don"t worry, there"s an old man who wants to see you personally. He will explain everything to you clearly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory figure floated out from Vincent"s body. It was Justin, who had woken up from his slumber.
Actually, Justin was already awake when Vincent obtained the Judgment Hand from the Light Guardian Council. However, even after facing the chaotic battle between Ramirez and Gajero, Vincent did not allow Justin to appear. He was waiting for this particular moment.
Justin looked at the disciple in front of him and asked with a smile, "My follower, I didn"t expect that you would take over my position. Did the few remaining old fellows in the race make things difficult for you?"
Lionel knelt down with an excited face and said with incomparable respect, "Master! After your death, the threat faced by the Vampire Race increased day by day. The members of the race can only maintain their original positions if they are united. Therefore, the seniors all support me!"
Justin nodded with great gratification and then said, "In that case, I am relieved! Now put Vincent down!"
Lionel asked in shock, "What?"
For a moment, Lionel suspected that Justin was just an illusion created by Vincent. Otherwise, how could his teacher who was killed by Vincent let Vincent off the hook?
Justin looked at Lionel and could not help but clench his teeth. He turned around and waved his hand. The chain that was hanging onto Vincent broke causing Vincent to fall heavily to the ground.
Lionel quickly stood up and questioned Justin, "Master, how can you let him go? He was the one who killed you!"
However, he did not expect Justin to berate him directly, "Idiot! I have a symbiotic relations.h.i.+p with Vincent now. If he dies, then I will completely disappear. Do you want my soul to scatter?"
Lionel subconsciously s.h.i.+vered and quickly shook his head, "I wouldn"t dare!"
Vincent struggled to get up from the ground. He slowly pushed the Ultimate Evil Lord"s scepter out of his wound and said, "Alright, don"t make things difficult for him! Later, if we want to escape, we still need him to cooperate with us!"
Justin and Lionel turned to look at Vincent, and in the next second, their eyes widened.
Vincent picked up the scepter that fell on the ground with his left hand and pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead with his right hand. He sighed softly, "Merge!"
