Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 544 - : Path to Godhood, Method of Self-Rescue

Chapter 544 – : Path to Godhood, Method of Self-Rescue

“Mr. Vincent, what are they trying to do?”

Kurt could not help but ask Vincent in a low voice when he noticed a group of Phantoms walking behind them.

Vincent said with a disapproving expression, “What else can they do? We’ve been in the limelight today, so there will always be some individuals who have ulterior motives!”

More than ten Phantoms had already caught up to them and surrounded both Vincent and Kurt.

The leader of the Phantoms looked up and down at the two of them shrouded in black robes and said with a proud expression, “Justin, even if you cover your face, it’s useless. We brothers have been watching you for a long time! It’s just that I didn’t expect you to have an even more powerful friend. You can even swallow an opponent of a level 50 creature in one gulp. If the relationship between the two of you were to be spread, who knows how many other phantoms would be afraid? They would also hate you!”

After hearing the other party’s strange tone, Vincent asked straightforwardly, “What exactly do you want to do? Just say it!”

After seeing that Vincent’s attitude was still unyielding, the Phantom leader was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a proud face, “Consider yourselves lucky. Our master has taken a fancy to your talents and wants to promote the two of you. As long as the two of you listen to our master’s arrangements in the future competition schedule, I guarantee that you will be able to obtain honor and wealth!”

Vincent could not help but feel a little curious after hearing that. It seemed that the other party did not want to harm him. However, there seemed to be more secrets that were worth digging deeper into.

Vincent swept his gaze over the ten Phantoms beside him. They were all level 40 creatures and above. Only the Phantom standing in front of him had the strength of a level 50 creature. Therefore, there was no need for him to be cautious at all. Vincent asked with a disdainful look, “Now, I’m very curious. Who is your master?”

The leader of the group did not care about Vincent’s attitude. He replied in a low voice, “Our master is the current Phantom Emperor Lazarus’s third prince, Jerome! To be able to have the opportunity to serve the third prince is a blessing that you two have cultivated over several lifetimes. Don’t be ungrateful. Otherwise, there will definitely be someone in this town who can stop the two of you from participating in tomorrow’s competition!”

Kurt had originally wanted to quickly find a quiet place to study the characteristics of the Phantoms. However, the group of Phantoms was currently threatening and enticing them. They had also brought up the third prince. Kurt did not want to waste any more time with them. He immediately raised his hand and was prepared to kill all those Phantoms and bring them back to be used as research specimens.

However, Vincent suddenly raised his hand and pulled Kurt back. He smiled and said to the other demons, “Third Prince? Alright then, if you want us to work for you, we can! However, we must at least see him in person. It would be better if he could personally promise us our future glory and wealth! I simply can’t trust the words of a bunch of small characters like you!”

The few Phantoms who stopped Vincent did not get angry when they heard this. Instead, they nodded and said, “That’s good too. I’ll give you one more day to consider. At this time tomorrow, there will naturally be someone to bring you to meet the third prince. I hope that when that time comes, you won’t be ungrateful. Otherwise, it will be your turn to have the feeling of being devoured!”

Vincent’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly looked at the group of Phantoms in front of him. They had mentioned the term, ‘devouring’. It seemed that devouring each other was an extremely common thing among the Phantoms. This might have something to do with their own strange abilities. Vincent had to take precautions.

The leader of the Phantoms suddenly waved his hand and said to Vincent, “Alright, you can leave now!”

Vincent retracted his gaze and smiled coldly. He said softly, “I’m sorry. I want to see the third prince tonight. I wonder if you can think of a way?”

The Phantoms exchanged glances and said to Vincent with disdain, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy of being summoned by the third prince? You must be tired of living!”

Vincent shook his head and said with a smile, “Alright, it seems that you have no other way. However, I have a good idea. I guarantee that the third prince will come to see me personally tonight, but I need to borrow your heads!”

“What?”

The Phantoms looked at Vincent in surprise. They could not believe what he had just said.

Vincent did not explain further. He stretched out two fingers and slashed horizontally across the air. A crescent-shaped blade aura spread out instantly and directly cut off the heads of more than ten demons on the spot.

However, after Vincent killed more than ten demons while chatting and laughing with Kurt, he suddenly showed a pained expression. He raised his hand and tightly covered his chest.

Kurt quickly held Vincent and asked with a nervous expression, “Mr. Vincent, are you alright?”

Vincent took a deep breath and said slowly, “The wound caused by Gajero has not yet healed. If I use too much strength, I will suffer a backlash. However, it is only intense pain. It is not fatal. Now, we need to seize the time to study the characteristics of the Phantoms. At the same time, I also need to study how to heal the wounds on my body!”

Kurt nodded and whispered, “Our research must not be known by the Phantoms. It’s not safe to stay in the city. Why don’t we leave the city?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “No need. I have a better place in mind!”

After saying that, Vincent brought Kurt into a random house.

At that moment, all the Phantoms had gathered in the square to watch the Academy’s Grand Competition. This gave Vincent and Kurt the opportunity to break through the door.

After entering the house, Vincent immediately snapped his fingers and opened a space door in front of him, signaling Kurt to enter the space tunnel.

The world of the Phantoms was filled with strangeness, so Vincent did not dare to be careless. For safety reasons, what could be more foolproof than a space tunnel?

After entering the space tunnel, Kurt immediately opened the mechanism in his abdomen and took out a large lump of transparent jelly. It looked elastic as if it was still alive.

“Mr. Vincent, please wait a moment! I need to analyze the various data of the Phantom Race one by one. The process might take a while!” said Kurt.

Vincent nodded and said, “No worries! Gajero hasn’t caught up yet anyway. We have plenty of time!”

After hearing that, a rainbow light appeared in Kurt’s hands, completely enveloping the specimen of the Phantoms. He focused all his attention on analyzing it.

Vincent looked at it for a moment and felt a little bored.

He raised his hand to control the Cosmic Threads and Benson that were stored in the space tunnel in front of him.

Benson only had a small part of his body left. Even though the demon core in his body had not been destroyed, he was still unable to recover from his injuries.

Vincent could not help but lower his head to look at his own chest. The injuries that Gajero had left on him had not recovered. This also caused him to be unable to fully display his strength for the time being.

Vincent realized that he was in the same boat as Benson. He could not help but laugh bitterly and sigh, “Gajero’s ability is really strange and unpredictable. Right now, not only is my ability restricted but even this level 80 puppet that I just obtained has become useless. There’s no way for it to be of any use at all!”

However, Benson, who was controlled by hundreds of Cosmic Threads, did not respond. Instead, he kept his gaze fixed on the Phantom specimen in Kurt’s hands.

When Vincent noticed Benson’s gaze, he could not help but ask, “Why? Do you know the Phantoms?”

After being brainwashed by hundreds of Cosmic Threads, Vincent had already become Benson’s only master. After hearing his master’s question, Benson immediately replied, “Back then, the 1st Corps had followed Gajero to conquer Beast World. On the way back from victory, they discovered a Black Hole that led to the Phantom World. The 1st Corps immediately launched an attack on the Phantom Race. However, not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they even fell into a desperate situation. In the end, they forced Gajero to use all his strength to lead the 1st Corps to escape from the Phantom World. Gajero has never forgotten about the strength of the Phantom Race. He carried out many investigations in the Black Hole and finally obtained some secrets about the Phantoms!”

When Vincent heard this, he quickly asked, “What secret?”

Benson said without the slightest hesitation, “After many investigations, it is very likely that the Phantoms have the same attribute of the power of laws and authority!”

Vincent sighed thoughtfully, “Same attribute? Just like how I have the fire law and the flame authority!”

Benson nodded and continued, “For many years, Gajero’s wish was to become a god, so he had been looking for a solution. In the end, he found a simple and effective way, which was to first master something that had the same attributes as the power of law, authority, and domain. After fusing the three types of god-level abilities into one, could he be called a demigod, and his strength could completely crush experts of the same level! After that, all he needs to do is to comprehend the power of order and possess a divine spark. Once his strength reaches level 90, he will automatically become a Protoss!”

Vincent could not help but feel delighted after hearing that. This was because he had already grasped the fire law and flame authority. He also had the Purgatory of Nature domain that he could control at will. Furthermore, it was gradually turning into a fire domain. Therefore, he only needed to find a way to fuse the three abilities into one, and he would be able to have the abilities of a demigod ahead of time!

Vincent could not help but think of an even more important question. He asked Benson, “How far has Gajero gone?”

Benson thought for a moment and said, “Gajero has already comprehended the power of order, but he hasn’t completely grasped it yet. And he still wants to create a unique divine personality for himself, but he hasn’t made any progress yet!”

Vincent could not help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gajero still had a long way to go before he could become a Protoss.

As long as Gajero did not become a Protoss, he would always be able to find a way to go against him. Moreover, Vincent had clearly found a way to go against Gajero!

Vincent looked at Benson and asked with a face full of anticipation, “Do you know how Gajero fused the three types of god-level abilities?”

Benson, who had been replying fluently suddenly hesitated. After a long while, he said with a blank expression, “I don’t know! Although Gajero had never concealed the method of cultivation from the upper echelons of the Demon Race, he had never mentioned the method of fusing three god-level abilities. In fact, he was extremely afraid of that experience!”

Vincent instantly grasped the crux of the matter and quickly asked, “What experience?”

Benson replied, “There was a period of time when Gajero was struggling to find a way to fuse three types of god-level abilities. After that, he disappeared from the Demon Race for about three years. He concealed his identity and infiltrated a high-level race. In the end, he escaped in a very sorry state. However, at that time, he had already completely fused three types of god-level abilities!”

Vincent could not help but ask curiously, “The race that could leave Gajero in a sorry state… What race was it?”

Benson said emotionlessly, “The Judge Race!”

Vincent repeated it twice softly, memorizing the mysterious and powerful race in his heart. Sooner or later, he would have to find the world of the Judge and learn the method of fusing the three god-level abilities!

Although he was planning his future in his heart, Vincent did not forget the trouble at hand. He pointed to his chest and asked, “Do you know the name of the ability after the fusion is carried out? Is that the reason why we can’t recover?”

Benson nodded and said, “Gajero had originally grasped the filthy laws that the demons were born with, but he felt that the level of this divine ability was relatively low and disdained to cultivate! After invading more than half of the Black Hole World, he finally comprehended a supreme-level ability that had long been extinct. The law of destruction, the authority of destruction, and the domain of destruction. When the three are combined, they are known as Destruction. According to Gajero, that is an ability that is close to the power of origin. It does not need any fancy name!”

Vincent heaved a long sigh of relief. He finally understood the secret behind the god-level abilities and how to become a god.

It seemed that after obtaining a god-level ability, one would be on the path to control the power of origin. And after reaching the end of that path, one would be able to become the strongest God among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole.

Vincent finally had a clear understanding of his future path. This time, he did not have to fumble about in the darkness like a headless fly!

Vincent took out a brand-new piece of clothing from his storage ring and changed into it. He covered the hideous and terrifying wound on his chest. This was because he knew that he was currently unable to recover.

It was the power of origin that had caused this wound, so he had to use the same power to repair it. This was also the reason why the blood law could not help to heal him!

After changing his clothes, Vincent looked at Benson again. He asked thoughtfully, “Most of your body has been destroyed, but your demon core is still there. Can it continue to provide you with endless power?”

Benson immediately answered, “Yes!”

Vincent smiled and asked again, “Then if I create a body for you, you only need to use the aura of the demonic world to drive it. Can you walk freely again after that?”

Benson answered truthfully, “In theory, yes!”

The smile on Vincent’s face gradually became brighter. This was because he had determined his next goal. He wanted to find suitable materials to rebuild his level 80 puppet!

Kurt, who was at the side, sent good news again, “Mr. Vincent, I have found the characteristics of the Phantom Race!”

“Oh? Quickly tell me!”

Vincent walked over to Kurt’s side in a hurry. He was rather impatient and wanted to look at the results of his research.

Kurt laid seven specimens of the Phantom Race in front of him. They were all different sizes. When Kurt injected the rainbow light that represented his own abilities into the smallest specimen, the specimen seemed to have come to life. It flickered with the same rainbow light and took the initiative to approach the other transparent gelatinous objects.

After that, all the Phantoms’ specimens flickered with rainbow-flowing light as well. It was as if they had all possessed Kurt’s ability!

Kurt then explained, “The Phantoms don’t have their own abilities, but they can replicate the abilities of any target. Moreover, after they replicate, their abilities are the same as the target’s abilities, without the slightest bit of difference. They can also replicate each other too.”

Kurt continued, “However, the ability to replicate a target must be within their level range. Otherwise, once they replicate an ability that surpasses their own level, they will explode and die! As for why they can complete the replication process through simple information, I currently do not have any ideas!”

Vincent smiled and said, “I understand everything! The abilities that the Phantoms possess are the replication laws and the replication authority. Authority determines the characteristics of the replication, while the laws determine the process of the replication! As long as they grasped the laws, they could simulate the ability of the target based on the information they had obtained. They can then use authority to replicate it. That was why they could replicate my ability back then but are not able to do it now because the current me is not in their database!”

Kurt could not help but nod in realization. He sighed and said, “In that case, the Phantoms is a really strong race. If they encounter a newborn race that has no strength at all, it would be difficult for them to win if they only rely on instinct to fight! But if they encounter a high-level creature, they will definitely have the strength to fight! This is because the Phantom Race can replicate the opponent’s elites, ensuring that their battle strength will always be maintained at an extremely high level!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Your analysis is correct! The Demon Race must have suffered a great loss at the hands of the Phantoms. Did you make any further discoveries?”

Kurt nodded and said, “Yes, I also discovered that within the Phantom Race, there is actually an even more terrifying characteristic, which is that their race can devour each other and achieve perfect fusion!”

Kurt then combined the seven specimens in front of him together. The specimens fused perfectly together, forming a transparent gel-like object.

Vincent was slightly surprised when he saw the scene and said thoughtfully, “So, the Phantom Race is a race that can separate themselves from their main bodies. That is to say, when they encounter absolute danger, they may also recombine into a powerful individual!”

Kurt immediately said, “In theory, it is so!”

Vincent exhaled lightly and said with a smile, “Then I am relieved. When Gajero barges into this world, what will greet him will be a big surprise!”

Kurt looked at the evil smile on Vincent’s face with a puzzled look and unconsciously followed suit. At the same time, he could not help but anticipate what kind of plan Vincent had prepared.

“It’s getting late. We should go back. There’s still a good show waiting for us tomorrow!”

Vincent opened the space door and brought Kurt back to the Phantom World. They left the empty house and once again walked toward the bustling arena.

However, just as the two of them were about to enter the arena, a figure emitting a terrifying aura suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

A deep and hoarse voice with no emotion in its tone suddenly echoed in the ears of Vincent and Kurt, “The two of you, the third prince invites you to meet him!”
