At this moment, Wen Yu was in the Soul Laboratory, handling the last few matters he had left.
The task assigned to the mountain puppet—capturing a few first-tier demonic creatures—had been completed.
Three ancient demon corpses were lined up inside the Soul Laboratory. Wen Yu paced back and forth in front of the three demonic creatures, ensuring there were no irreparable injuries on their bodies. Only then did he approach the three ancient demons and release Creation Energy into each of them one by one.
As an undercover agent, growth was essential. Moreover, given the significance of infiltrating the Demon Realm, Wen Yu did not care about the amount of Creation Energy consumed at this moment. He decisively transformed the three ancient demons into perfect soul creations of the third type.
Zero stood aside, watching as Wen Yu waved his hand. The three first-tier ancient demons trembled and then crawled up from the ground one by one, bowing their heads to Wen Yu and respectfully calling him Master.
This method immediately made Zero feel a shiver of unease—he had seen the dead come back to life before, but that was merely a puppet-like existence. However, reshaping souls, even in the Demon Realm, was something Zero had never heard of.
"I'll call you No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3," Wen Yu casually assigned names to the three first-tier ancient demons. Then he pulled out a large number of magic crystals from his Spatial Ring to upgrade the three demonic creatures and turned to Zero.
"What do you think? Can you spot any flaws?"
Zero observed carefully for a while before shaking his head. "There are no flaws in my eyes."
Without the previous scene, the three ancient demons would have appeared to Zero as just three perfectly normal first-tier ancient demons.
Hearing Zero's response, Wen Yu nodded slightly and no longer paid attention to the three ancient demons that were upgrading. He leisurely sat down in a chair and said to Zero, "These little guys will be your personal guards. When you return to the Demon Realm, any information you have will be conveyed to me through them."
After a moment of thought, Wen Yu added, "Try to protect their safety."
"Understood." Zero nodded solemnly, receiving an indifferent smile from Wen Yu.
Even though Zero allowed Wen Yu to place restrictions on him, Wen Yu believed that such restrictions were truly of no use—he didn't believe that the big shots of the demonic clan would lack a way to break the restrictions placed by a sixth-level limit breaker like him. If that were the case, then something would have gone horribly wrong.
In other words, even if Zero pretended to cooperate, it was still possible that he would betray Wen Yu the moment he returned to the Demon Realm.
Fortunately, Wen Yu didn't care much about whether Zero was sincerely cooperating—Zero had no knowledge of Little White's existence. When Little White eventually returned to the Demon Realm, their information could naturally corroborate each other, and the three first-tier ancient demon creations were disposable to Wen Yu at any time.
Overall, Zero was just a small subplot that Wen Yu had whimsically laid down; whether he used them for a surprise or not, it was entirely inconsequential.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Yu took out several scrolls from his Spatial Ring and then activated the fifth soul realm to summon Victor back.
"Meow..."
Victor, who appeared in the Soul Laboratory for the first time, stretched lazily. His leisurely demeanor proved the current overall war situation on the African continent—under Wen Yu's full exertion in the Soul Battlefield, the seemingly chaotic state of war in Africa was entirely under his control.
According to intelligence, numerous masters of the demonic clan had already been cleared by Wen Yu’s spirit pets and powerful soul puppets. Coupled with the assistance of the soul puppet legion and Arcade, the current situation indicated that if the African war zone didn’t reinforce with some powerful demonic creatures, the entire continent would inevitably fall into Wen Yu's hands.
