Chapter 535: Data Terminal, Demon Technology
As Vincent refined Abu Solon"s demonic aura, a storage ring slowly descended from the sky.
Vincent flew forward and caught the storage ring.
He deactivated his fire spiritualization to check the items in the storage ring. Other than some high-grade materials and weapons, the only thing that Vincent was interested in was a strangely shaped electronic device.
"I thought that the demons were just a barbaric race that relied on their innate talent. I didn"t expect them to have developed technology!"
Vincent was very surprised as he observed the electronic device. He discovered that the screen displayed a very detailed map of the Black Hole World.
Moreover, many of the Black Holes were marked with the names of the various races and specific dates. Vincent could guess that those dates were the days that the demons had invaded the races!
Following that, Vincent tried to click on the Black Hole that belonged to the Beast Race. Very quickly, the corresponding information popped up. On it was detailed records of the Demon Race"s invasion of the Beast Race back then, as well as the battle where Gajero had personally killed the Bear King. Moreover, the device also recorded the resources that the Beast Race had stored up, as well as the snow wolf tribe and the fox tribe that had pledged their allegiance to the Demon Race. They could all be promoted to become demons in the future.
When Vincent saw this, he finally understood the purpose of Gajero"s invasions.
In the beginning, Gajero"s purpose for invasions was only to plunder resources. However, as the Demon Race"s influence continued to expand, he needed to continue invading on a larger scale to maintain his position and replenish the Demon Race"s military resources. Once he stopped, he might be swallowed up or even destroyed by other races of the same level.
Even the Beast Race, whose level was no more than level 30, had been listed as a potential source of reinforcements. It could be seen that the Demon Race was already at the end of its tether. They could only rely on the powerful strength of Gajero and his three main armies to barely maintain the situation!
Vincent sighed thoughtfully, "It seems that as long as we find a way to destroy the 1st Corps, the strength of the Demon Race will be greatly weakened. At that time, Gajero would also be in deep trouble. It might even cause the Demon Race to fall into a crisis and be unable to launch an invasion against other races!"
Vincent"s eyes became determined. No matter what price he had to pay, he swore to destroy the 1st Corps.
After that, Vincent returned to the main screen on the device. He wanted to check the other functions of the device. However, the technological knowledge that Vincent had learned from the humans and the Esville Race was very different from that of the demons. Therefore, he did not know how to use the device effectively.
Feeling helpless, Vincent could only ask for help from an expert.
"Kurt, come and help me take a look at this device and try to figure out how many materials are stored inside!"
Kurt quickly walked forward and took the electronic device. After that, he stretched out a finger and transformed it into a universal plug to be connected to the data port of the device.
Kurt turned his head and said to Vincent, "Mr. Vincent, according to the preliminary examination, there is a very large amount of information in this instrument. If you want to decode all of it, you need to give me some time!"
Vincent nodded and said, "Okay, no matter how long it takes, you can do as you wish. Leave the rest to me!"
Vincent did not bother Kurt anymore. He turned around and walked toward Justin, who was standing there with an excited look on his face.
Vincent looked at Justin and said with a look of disdain, "No matter what, you are the leader of the Vampire Race. You only killed a demon… Is there a need to be so excited?"
Justin said with a serious face, "What do you know? The demon we killed is a leader. He is already considered a high-level figure in the Demon Race. In all the invasion wars launched by the Demon Race, there are very few cases of high-level members dying in battle. And every race that can kill a high-level demon will be remembered by all the races in the Black Hole. But until now, there have been no more than ten such races. The two of us have already created history!"
When Vincent heard this, he could not help but say in surprise, "This is the first time you"ve killed a high-ranking member of the Demon Race? What about back then when the demons invaded the Vampire Race? So many experts died and were injured, but you weren"t able to kill a demon officer?"
When Justin heard this, he could not help but feel ashamed and regretful as he shook his head. He said, "Back then, the vampires could indeed be said to have as many experts as the clouds, but their internal divisions were bad. The various large families were on guard against each other and often ostracized each other. They could not even work together when facing Gajero. When facing the united Demon Race, they were naturally defeated in one battle. The vast majority of experts died under the siege of the Demon Race"s battle formation, while the race leader and other experts were completely slaughtered by Gajero alone! Therefore, when I received the order to take over as the leader of the Vampire Race and lead the surviving members of the Vampire Race to hide in the capital of Ultimate Evil, the first thing I did was to emphasize unity. I wanted everyone to forget their origins and only remember that they were vampires. I only fought for the hope of the race!"
Vincent nodded repeatedly. He agreed with Justin. He also knew how important unity was for a race.
After Justin recovered from the joy of victory, he turned around and looked at the Purgatory of Nature which no longer had any s.p.a.ce barriers. He asked with an excited look, "What"s the situation outside now? Let"s continue to kill the demons outside with the same method!"
Vincent looked at Justin with an unsatisfied look and said, "There are 5,000 demons in the 1st Corps outside. If we join hands, we can only kill one at a time. How long will it take for us to kill the entire corps? If we attack again, do you think that these demons will stand still and let us slowly nibble at them?"
Justin replied indifferently, "So what? If we can kill one more, we will earn one more! Moreover, even if we can cause panic within the Demon Race, isn"t forcing them to retreat a good thing?"
Vincent said resolutely, "Don"t forget, Black Hole Zero of the Human Race hasn"t pa.s.sed its restriction period yet. If we press them too hard, it"s very likely that these demons will jump over the wall in desperation and blindly retreat to the surrounding Black Holes. If they discover that the Human Race is accessible, it"ll be too late. It"s better to keep them here as long as possible. So long they don"t understand our strength and methods, they"ll definitely not act rashly!"
Justin could not help but nod his head in admiration when he saw Vincent"s superb a.n.a.lysis of tactics and psychology. He was able to package his ideas nicely in just a few sentences. If the Vampire Race had a war genius like Vincent back then, then the battle with the demons would not have been so embarra.s.sing!
Vincent did not care about Justin"s absent-mindedness at that moment. He turned his head and said with a smile, "Of course, we can"t just wait here. We should try our best to gather information about the 1st Corps now!"
After hearing this, Justin could not help but turn his head to look at the position where Abu Solem was standing previously. He shook his head and said, "The demon earlier was blown to pieces by us. His demonic aura has also been collected by you. Where else can we go to gather information?"
Vincent smiled slightly and said proudly, "It seems that you have forgotten that I still have other demons in my hands!"
Justin immediately understood and nodded with a look of understanding.
Vincent then turned his head and said to Hades who was quietly waiting at the side, "You will stay here for the next period of time and be prepared to enter the battle at any time!"
Hades slowly lowered the giant sword in his hand and put his other hand on his chest. He lowered his head respectfully to show that he was obeying Vincent"s orders.
Vincent raised his hand and snapped his fingers, closing the Purgatory of Nature. He brought Justin and Kurt back to the s.p.a.ce tunnel. At the same time, Vincent took out a s.p.a.ce token from his storage ring. He began to remotely control a certain point in the tunnel and quickly activated s.p.a.ce jump.
Justin only felt a sudden breeze around him. He then saw a figure suddenly appear beside Vincent.
A lady with black soft armor, her long hair scattered in a sorry state, and her stunning face was looking at Vincent in a daze.
"You b*stard, why did you lock me up with the 26th Corps?"
When the lady saw Vincent"s face clearly, she immediately questioned him with an angry face. Her voice was as clear and ethereal as a wind chime, exuding n.o.bility and purity.
Vincent looked at the crazy Alexia from the corner of his eyes. He said very calmly, "I was afraid that you would be bored by yourself, so I let those demons who are familiar with you go in and accompany you!"
After hearing Vincent"s excuse, Alexia gritted her teeth and said, "Let them accompany me? Did you order them not to communicate with me and turn a blind eye to me? Do you know how torturous it is? It"s even more torturous than being alone, b*tch!"
Vincent was not bothered by Alexia"s reproach and abuse. He raised his hand and pointed at the 1st Corps that was huddled outside the s.p.a.ce barrier. He then asked in a low voice, "Take a look at the demons outside and introduce to me all the senior generals that you can recognize. If you cooperate with me, I will consider improving your situation. Otherwise, you will suffer more!"
Alexia sneered and asked, "What? Do you want to threaten me again? What excuse do you plan on using this time? Do you want to kill me, or do you want to do something else to me?"
After hearing Alexia"s teasing tone, Vincent could not help but feel a burning sensation in his body. He quickly adjusted his aura and suppressed the evil fire. He pointed at Justin beside him, sneered, and said, "Don"t use such underhanded methods on me. Do you see this senior next to you? He is the previous head of the Vampire Race and has a deep blood feud with the demons. As long as I hand you over to him, I don"t have to do it myself. You will taste the pain of death!"
Alexia looked at Justin, who was already in his soul state, and instantly fell into silence. She seemed to be frightened by Vincent"s words.
Vincent saw that Alexia had finally become much more obedient and quickly urged her, "If you"re scared, don"t just stand there. Hurry up and point out the demons you know. Also, tell me their positions, battle styles, and personalities!"
Alexia rolled her eyes at Vincent unwillingly. Of course, she knew that Vincent had kept her because he wanted to get information about the demons. That was why he had deliberately acted shamelessly and stalled for time.
However, she did not expect that Vincent would not be swayed by force or persuasion. No matter what methods she used, she could not convince him. He was really difficult to deal with.
Alexia was even more afraid that she would get hurt. Helpless, she could only choose to compromise with Vincent and turn her head to look outside the s.p.a.ce barrier.
"This is the 1st Corps, and all of them are present! It"s just that..."
Alexia sighed in surprise at first. She then fell into hesitation.
Vincent frowned slightly and urged her in a cold tone, "Just what?"
"But what do you want to know?" asked Alexia. She was trying her best to delay for time.
Vincent did not hesitate at all and did not give Alexia the chance to continue dawdling. He said simply and clearly, "Now point to the highest officer of the 1st Corps. Tell me his strength, ability, and his personality or shortcomings!"
Alexia took a deep breath. She raised her hand and pointed at an officer. She said, "Benson! The deputy commander of the 1st Corps. He is also the last priest of the Demon Race who is proficient in black magic. He is good at black magic that was initially written in the ancient language of the Demon Race. He was the only one who could interpret it perfectly. Therefore, he has all kinds of fighting methods! As for his weaknesses, does being quiet, thoughtful, and ugly count?"
Vincent frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled face, "Why only the deputy commander?"
Alexia noticed that she could not avoid this topic, so she had to answer truthfully, "The general of the 1st Corps is called Gaia. He has always been my father"s right-hand man, but there is no sign of him in the current army. He must be hiding in the dark or going back to inform my father of my disappearance!"
Vincent nodded. He then changed the topic and asked, "Then, look at how many high-level demons are above the level of squad leaders. Are there any demons you know that are not among them?"
Alexia"s body was connected to the Cosmic Thread. Even if Vincent did not invade her consciousness, he knew clearly what she was thinking or preparing to do, hence, Alexia did not dare to disobey Vincent"s orders. She could only turn her gaze to the 1st Corps and carefully look at every face that appeared in her sight.
Alexia soon made a discovery. She sighed curiously, "Strange, other than General Gaia, why did his soldier, Abu Solon, also disappear?"
Vincent immediately narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Abu Solon? What kind of ability does he have? What"s so special about him?"
Alexia thought for a moment and said, "Abu Solon"s ability is just so-so. He doesn"t have the qualifications to be a cadre in the Demon Race. However, his ability is quite special because he has a very rare ability. He is one of the few talents in the module that has mastered high-end technology. My father specially made a live information transmission device connected by the mainframe and the terminal equipment for him!"
Alexia continued, "In this set of equipment, Abu Solon can investigate the intelligence acc.u.mulated by the demons over the years. Any secret can be found in the device. Moreover, the discovery or intelligence of the demons in other worlds can be transmitted to Abu Solon in real time. It can be said that whoever obtains the device in his hands can obtain the intelligence of the Black Hole World acc.u.mulated by the demons over the years. They might even be able to reverse-steal the secret intelligence of the demons!"
Having said that, Alexia covered her mouth with a regretful face because she realized that she might have said too much and accidentally revealed everything that she knew.
Vincent could not help but turn his head to look at Kurt and said with a face full of antic.i.p.ation, "In that case, we can be considered to have found a treasure by accident this time!"
Alexia did not understand what Vincent said. She subconsciously turned to look at Kurt. She immediately noticed the device in his hand.
Alexia asked with a face full of shock, "How can you have this terminal? What have you done with Abu Solon?"
Vincent placed his hands behind his back and said softly, "Is there a need to make such a fuss? Since the device is in my hands, doesn"t that mean that Abu Solon has become a dead soul under my knife?"
Alexia"s face was full of resentment as she stared at Vincent. However, she was unable to resist and could only let Vincent show off in front of her.
At the same time, Kurt pulled out his finger and looked up at Vincent.
He said, "Mr. Vincent, it has been processed! And for the sake of insurance, I have already made a backup of the data. Please forgive me for taking so long!"
Vincent took the device and said, "Well done, did you come across any further information?"
Kurt said very professionally, "The technology used in this device is very high-end, however, there"s still quite a gap when compared to the Esville Race"s. I"ve already modified the operating interface into a version that you"re more familiar with. In the future, you can freely consult the information in it. Moreover, I"ve also found out that this particular device is connected to other devices. If you need, I can reverse hack into the host machine, modify the specified content, or disable all the other devices!"
When Vincent heard this, he could not help but reveal an ecstatic smile. This was because he was in control of the demon"s database. This would create a lot of trouble for the demons at the necessary moment.
"Very good. Help me hack into the mainframe first, then delete all the data of the surrounding Black Holes. I want all the demons who rushed here to become blind, so that we can have the upper hand!"
Kurt nodded and respectfully took back the device. He began to program it again.
Alexia was anxious and unwilling when she saw the scene. She was completely aware of what Vincent was going to do to the demons, but she had no way to stop it, nor did she have any method to spread the news.
Then, under Alexia"s gaze, Vincent turned to Justin and said crazily, "Next, we will meet the only remaining High Priest. Maybe we can even make the black magic of the demons disappear!"
Justin sneered and replied with joy, "I would love to!"
