"Also, master," the voice outside continued. "Recently, there have been some unusual movements on the Australian continent. It’s possible that the human race on Earth has discovered the preset location of the origin extraction device. I think we should inform Lord Feili and request more reinforcements. After all, master, you are not known for your military strength as a war zone commander."
The intelligence system of the Demon Realm is no less effective than that of the human race; it makes no sense that they wouldn't notice movements in the military.
Hearing the sensible words of his "steward," the spirit of the demon lord merely stroked the origin extraction device in his hand, pondered for a moment, and gently shook his head.
"No need, it’s too much trouble..."
The long voice echoed in the hall, and the reverberation made the spirit's voice sound somewhat hazy.
"Anyway, I wasn’t thinking about needing any origin power. Compared to origin power, that thing is the real treasure, isn’t it..."
Amid the fluctuating echoes, the spirit slowly rose, releasing his soul perception ability. A vast amount of soul energy instantly enveloped the valley.
Outside, the Rift Device stood in a clearing, with specks of eerie energy swirling around it. The energy connected to the void, communicating with another Rift Device somewhere on Earth. Surrounding the Rift Device, countless demonic creatures stood in neat rows, their military demeanor solemn. Although the spirit was not known for military strength, he was still the chief commander of the Australian war zone, and he had some capable soldiers under him. Moreover, when it came to these level six nuisances, the spirit didn’t care how much they could contribute.
As the strongest soul system expert under the demon lord, a disciple of the demon lord, an indescribable "being" that had existed for an unknown amount of time, and the master of the soul creation technique, the spirit's trump card was enough to exceed anyone's imagination— even Feili, the head of the seven commanders, needed to form alliances to barely suppress the spirit, who was alone.
"So, let's get started now."
Saying this, the spirit gently released his right hand, and the origin extraction device floated up under the control of his soul power, soaring directly above the Rift Device.
Then, the engine began to roar, the Rift Device started to rotate, and the Demon Realm Gate began to emit light as the army moved forward.
The bustling scene lifted the spirit’s mood. He looked at the spatial rift slowly opening above the Rift Device and the origin extraction device that was gradually elongating and enlarging, and he snapped his fingers lightly.
So, the war began.
...
At this moment, Wen Yu was still in the Soul Laboratory, continuing unfinished experiments. The soul creation technique could now produce C-level skills out of thin air, proving that the research was progressing smoothly.
Three days had passed since Tang Haofei's visit. During these three days, Wen Yu maintained strict monitoring. Tang Haofei didn’t mind these small matters, and the facts proved that he was indeed as he claimed, just on a vacation in Africa.
During these three days, Tang Haofei either played with the soul creation game in his guest room or roamed the African continent with a large group of women. Overall, he behaved himself, and Wen Yu had no mood to follow Tang Haofei closely; he simply entrusted the task of monitoring him to the mountain puppet.
With the Creation Energy in his hands radiating brightly, Wen Yu generated one rune after another from thin air, combining various sizes of runes into a series of points and lines, forming the basic units for assembling skills.
Just at that moment, a sudden psychic wave resonated in his mind, causing Wen Yu's hands to tremble. He watched helplessly as the skill he was creating failed. Sighing lightly, he connected to the psychic link.
"Master, this is Number One. Zero wants to talk to you."
"Understood."
After a brief response, Wen Yu immediately calmed his mind, letting his soul power surge into Number One's body. When his vision returned, he found himself facing Zero's ugly face.
