Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 541: Cat-And-Mouse Game, Marionettes

Multiple Death Ray Cannons shot into the formation from the rear of the 1st Corps. The death rays instantly killed all the soldiers.

The 1st Corps was known as the most powerful corps under the command of Gajero. Each of its members was above level 70. However, they all disappeared in a split second!

Only the military officer who had just taken over the commanding power stood behind Benson and watched as his comrades disappeared one by one. He was dumbfounded. He was constantly trembling and twisting. A weird sound came from his throat, but he could not utter a single word.

When the 1st Corps was killed, they were still maintaining the light purple shield in front of them. Unfortunately, their powerful defensive array formation was unable to help them block the fatal blow. It did however prevent the multiple Death Ray Cannons from continuing to spread but they were unable to continue shooting at Vincent and the others.

When the 1st Corps was destroyed, the light purple shield disappeared. Kurt and Justin’s figures flashed forward. They were like streams of colorful light, shuttling back and forth on the battlefield. They were picking up the equipment and storage rings left behind by the 1st Corps.

Although the Death Ray Cannons were extremely powerful, some high-level equipment could still withstand such an attack. This indirectly helped Vincent to select the most valuable items.

Kurt and Justin were in charge of helping Vincent collect the items.

Vincent, who had nothing to do, strode forward like a winner and looked at the only remaining demon officer. He said in a deep voice, “Do you think that Benson, who is controlled by hundreds of Cosmic Threads, can still maintain his self-consciousness? Do you actually believe that he had proved his position by twisting his body and saying a few intermittent words? Today, your 1st Corps is destined to be completely annihilated here. Now, you have two choices in front of you. One is to accept the control of the Cosmic Threads like Benson, and the other is to accompany your other teammates!”

As Vincent slowly walked over, Benson, who had just finished off the 1st Corps, also turned around and looked at the remaining demon in front of him emotionlessly.

“What do you want to do? I’m Lord Gajero’s subordinate. General Gaia and Chief Gajero are definitely on their way here. When they arrive, you will have a sad ending for sure!”

The demon officer quickly retreated while pretending to be calm.

Vincent narrowed his eyes and gradually curled his lips into a sneer. He sighed deeply, “Thank you for your reminder. It seems that I have to finish this battle as soon as possible!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Benson already had his staff aimed at the demon officer. The Death Ray Cannon started to charge up bit by bit. It was about to kill the last member of the 1st Corps.

“Benson, Stop!”

At that moment, an angry roar suddenly came from afar.

The sky in the Black Hole World that was usually calm suddenly turned dark. Thunders could be heard, and the earth started to shake violently.

However, Benson was just a wooden puppet without any emotions. No external factors could stop him from making a move. The death ray accurately struck the demon officer and turned him into ashes.

However, Vincent, who was standing beside Benson, was not so lucky. When he roared, his mind was in a mess. When the world shook, Vincent was staggering backward. He could not stand properly.

After recovering from the dizziness with great difficulty and barely managing to stand still, Vincent subconsciously raised his head to look at where the voice was coming from.

The first thing he saw was a tall demon wearing black and purple heavy armor. His entire body seemed to be emitting substantial anger as he strode toward Vincent. Every step he took made Vincent’s heart feel like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Vincent felt his aura and blood churning in his body. He also felt a trace of saltiness in his throat. If he had not forcefully held on with one breath, he would have already vomited blood.

Following that, Vincent quickly shifted his gaze away from the demon who had rushed over. He suddenly noticed that behind that tall and big demon was a middle-aged demon who was tall, medium-sized, and slightly thin. Furthermore, he looked rather familiar. Vincent could not help but linger on the other party’s body for two seconds.

However, during these two seconds, Vincent instantly widened his eyes. Large amounts of blood started to flow out from his eye sockets, followed by a terrifying amount of blood gushing out of his nose and ears.

“Spit!”

Vincent could no longer suppress the surging aura and blood in his body. He raised his head and spat out a cloud of blood mist. At the same time, his mind was filled with terror.

Just one look at him had nearly caused his body to explode and die. With such a powerful force and such a familiar feeling, who else could it be other than Gajero, who had once looked at him in the space tunnel of the Beast World.

“Vincent!”

Justin, who was cleaning up the battlefield at this time, also noticed Gajero’s arrival. He could not help but shout at Vincent.

Vincent felt goosebumps all over his body. Ever since he became a cultivator, he had never felt as terrified as he was at that moment. He used all the strength in his body to shout out a single word.

“Run!”

Although he was running, Vincent was not completely frightened by Gajero. He did not completely lose his mind. Just as he turned around and ran toward Justin, Benson, who was standing beside him, rushed toward Gajero.

At the sight of Gajero, Vincent had already made a decision. He would rather give up this powerful puppet to fight for a chance for himself!

Gaia, who was walking in front of Gajero looked at Benson who wanted to pounce on him with a furious look. He asked loudly, “Benson, do you know what you’re doing? You’re my most trusted vice-commander. How could you betray the demons?”

Benson did not show any shame or answer Gaia’s question. He did not even look at Gaia because he had received the order to attack Gajero at all costs!

Benson raised his staff and was prepared to release the death ray.

Suddenly, Gajero appeared beside Gaia at an unbelievable speed and pushed him away.

“Idiot, he has already been controlled by the Cosmic Threads. He can’t hear anything that you’re saying. He’s just a puppet!”

Gajero frowned and berated Gaia. At the same time, he raised his hand and gently slapped Benson. His movements were light and casual. It was impossible to tell that he had used any strength.

Half of Benson’s body instantly disappeared. Only his head, half of his chest, and his left arm were left. The rest of his limbs and the staff that was accumulating the death ray were all like pencil drawings that could be easily erased by Gajero.

With this insignificant amount of time, Vincent ran the fastest he had ever run to Justin and Kurt’s side. He grabbed their arms and quickly opened a space door. He was prepared to bring them to hide in the space tunnel.

Justin said somewhat reluctantly, “What about Benson? Don’t you want such a powerful puppet?”

Vincent was bleeding from his seven orifices and his mind was in a mess. He could only think in the simplest way. He neither denied nor explained. He only said quickly, “Then help me block it!”

Justin knew that Vincent was not in a good condition at that moment. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and opened his arms to build a blood-red barrier, protecting Vincent behind him.

Vincent took the opportunity to point at Benson, who was only left with half of his body.

Gajero, who had just interrupted Benson’s attack, turned his attention to Vincent and the others.

Gajero sneered disdainfully, “Do you really think you can escape?”

He then raised a finger and pointed at Vincent.

An invisible force instantly streaked across the sky, piercing through Justin’s blood-red barrier. It then left a circular hole on Justin’s soul body, and finally pierced through Vincent’s heart.

Vincent’s body stiffened and was about to fall, but he was caught by Kurt, who immediately dragged him into the space tunnel. Justin also transformed into a stream of blood-red light and entered the space door.

Gajero was about to chase after them when he suddenly felt something beside him. He turned around and found that a space door had opened behind Benson. Benson, who was frozen in the air, was currently being pushed into the space door.

Gajero roared angrily, “Who is it? You’re courting death!”

He raised his five fingers and hooked them, instantly sucking an invisible figure into his palm.

However, the two space doors were slowly closing, causing Gajero to lose the best opportunity to chase after Vincent.

Following that, Gajero could only vent the anger in his heart onto the invisible figure in his hand. As he continued to exert force, an ear-piercing sound of bones breaking could be heard in the air.

“Bang!”

The invisible figure in Gajero’s hand seemed to be unable to bear the burden, and his entire body burst out with an intense flame. The flame pounced on Gajero. It was as if it wanted to perish together with him.

Gajero said disdainfully within the flames, “Flame Authority, the fire law. I didn’t think that a mere low-level creature could actually have so many fortuitous encounters. However, with just this bit of skill, he isn’t worthy to be my enemy!”

Following that, purple-black demonic flames rose from his body, instantly devouring the flames around him. It spread all the way to the shapeless figure in his hand until the invisible figure was completely burned to ashes.

General Gaia, who had become a loner, got up from the ground and walked in front of Gajero. He asked with a face full of unwillingness, “Chief, what should we do now? I must personally take revenge for the blood feud of the 1st Corps!”

Gajero looked at the space in front of him that did not leave any traces behind and said in a deep voice, “This seems to be the method of the Lingluo Race. I don’t think I can use authority on it. You should step aside. I have my own solution!”

Gaia quickly took two steps back respectfully and looked at Gajero with anticipation.

Gajero stared at the space in front of him and said softly, “Distortion of time and space!”

Soon, a large number of cracks appeared in the space in front of him. A small spherical space appeared from the Black Hole World.

In this space, time seemed to be slowly reversing. The space door that had just disappeared slowly opened again in the air, but at a very slow speed.

Gaia, who was by the side, could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw the scene. His eyes were filled with envy and anticipation.

This was because the ability that Gajero was currently using was the rarest divine ability of the Black Hole myriad races, Order!

In the space tunnel, Kurt looked at Vincent, whose heart had been destroyed. He looked like a corpse. Kurt’s eyes were filled with panic and anxiety.

Kurt gently shook Vincent’s body and said in a mournful voice, “Mr. Vincent, you can’t die here! How am I going to explain this to Miss Avril and Miss Angelina? Your life’s goal is to kill Gajero, so how can you die at the hands of Gajero?”

If it were not for his robot body, he would have been in tears by now.

Just as Kurt fell into despair, Vincent suddenly let out a sound, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

After seeing this, Kurt quickly laid Vincent flat on the ground and carefully observed Vincent’s changes.

Vincent’s empty and unfocused eyes instantly regained their vigor. He looked like he was enduring intense pain.

“Gajero, I must kill you with my own hands!”

Vincent cursed as he sat up. He raised his hand to cover the part of his heart that had been pierced through, constantly gasping for breath.

Kurt asked with an excited expression, “Mr. Vincent, you didn’t die? I thought that humans would never survive without a heart, but as long as you’re fine, that’s great!”

Vincent shook his head. He endured the pain and said, “It’s indeed impossible for a human to survive without a heart. I just had a premonition of danger and immediately used fire spiritualization on my fatal organs. That’s why I didn’t die under Gajero’s attack. But his attack seemed to carry some kind of divine ability, making it impossible for my injuries to recover. My heart can only remain in a fire spiritualization state, constantly repeating the cycle of recovery and collapse. This feeling is too f*cking painful!”

Kurt slowly helped Vincent up. He looked at the hole in his chest that could not be healed, his face full of worry.

After confirming that he was still alive, Vincent no longer cared about the injuries on his body. He endured the intense pain and looked around. He asked anxiously, “Where’s Justin? Gajero struck him earlier too. Could it be that his soul has already collapsed?”

“Don’t worry! If you can survive, how can I die so easily?”

Justin’s voice suddenly came from behind Vincent, but his tone was extremely weak.

Vincent quickly turned around and saw that Justin was currently transparent to the point that he was infinitely close to air. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to see the outline of his soul.

On Justin’s chest, there was also a wound that could not be healed!

Vincent quickly asked, “How are you feeling? Can you heal?”

Justin laughed bitterly, shook his head, and said, “There is no hope for a short period of time. I have already tried just now. The blood laws cannot make up for such damage. If you want to completely heal, you must find a higher-level god-level ability or a god-level ability that can coincidentally counter Gajero’s. I am very weak now and must return to your body to rest. I will not be able to help you next. I hope that you can finally escape from Gajero’s pursuit!”

Vincent nodded and forced out a smile. He replied, “Rest assured and recuperate. Now that we’ve returned to the space tunnel, we’re safe!”

Justin’s soul became even more transparent, and he no longer had the strength to speak. He raised his hand and pointed to the side. He then entered Vincent’s body.

Vincent turned to look in the direction where Justin pointed. He saw that Gajero was reversing space and re-opening the space door.

Vincent looked at Gajero’s terrifying ability that involved time, space, tunnel, and many other domains. He could not help but exclaim with an ugly expression, “What ability is this? Could it be that he wants to enter the space tunnel to chase after us?”

Kurt hurriedly said, “The space tunnel is Mr. Vincent’s home ground. Even if they enter, they can’t be your match, right?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “As long as Gajero has the ability to enter the space tunnel, it proves that he has the ability to change the rules of the tunnel. At that time, not only will it be difficult for us to escape his pursuit, even the 26th Corps and Alexia that are hidden in the eternal space tunnel will be found by him. Therefore, we must leave the space tunnel as soon as possible and voluntarily expose ourselves in front of them. Only then can we ensure the safety of the space tunnel!”

Kurt could not help but say in despair, “Then we won’t have any chance of survival. As long as we appear in front of Gajero, he won’t even need to take the initiative to catch up to us. He can just kill us!”

Vincent took a deep breath and said slowly, “Actually, we don’t need to take such a risk by walking out of the space tunnel. We just need to use our aura to create an illusion!”

Kurt asked with a puzzled look, “Illusion? How?”

Vincent could not explain because of his injuries. Instead, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers with great difficulty. Immediately after that, the space beside him trembled slightly. Benson and the Cosmic Threads instantly appeared in front of him.

Vincent then took out the demon’s mainframe and said to Kurt, “Can you find the entrance of the Phantom Race’s Black Hole and find a precise positioning? We can’t make any mistakes from now on!”

Kurt nodded solemnly and said, “Yes!”

At the same time, Gajero, who was reshaping time and space, was drenched in sweat.

He had indeed grasped the power of order, which all the experts of the Black Hole have dreamed of, but he had only grasped the basics. Not only could he not use it flexibly, but he had to use it with great difficulty every time. It was extremely exhausting for him.

However, in order to end Vincent, Gajero had no other choice.

Gaia suddenly reminded Gajero loudly from the side, “Lord Gajero, look quickly!”

Gajero turned and looked to the place where Vincent had just disappeared. Another space door opened, revealing Vincent’s tottering figure.

“Is he provoking me? He’s courting death!”

Gajero saw Vincent’s actions as a silent provocation to him. He immediately gave up on maintaining order. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the space door.

However, at this almost negligible moment, the space door immediately closed, giving Gajero no chance to pursue.

Gaia caught up and could not help but frown as he cursed, “This b*stard is too cunning!”

Gajero shook his head. He laughed coldly and said, “It doesn’t matter. He has already paid the price for his stupidity. Although I was unable to catch him just now, I was able to capture his aura. Now, no matter where he hides, he cannot escape from me!”
