Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The other high-ranking members of the Ye family also looked nervous.

"Yes, I'm afraid even if we brought Elder Ye out of seclusion, he wouldn't be able to contend with them at all..."

"Having the Empire send in an army using sheer numbers might actually work. We humans still have quite a few people..."

"Don't joke around. Don't forget that Flame Demon Lord is a Soul Emperor realm expert! Once she makes a move, even if we add hundreds of millions of people to her ranks, she will wipe them out with a single hand!"

"Unfortunately, our new magical weapons are not yet fully developed, and we don't know if our existing weapons will be effective against them..."

"..."

Ye Ge calmly crossed her arms. Seeing everyone's tense expressions, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "You're all acting like the world is about to end. Is it really that serious?"

Everyone was taken aback, stopped their discussion, and looked at Ye Ge.

Actually, Ye Ge could understand their pessimism.

On paper, the difference in strength between humans and demons is like a chasm. As a race that was enslaved by dark races for thousands of years, humans still have a natural fear of dark races deep down.

Especially the demon race, the leader of the dark races!

The gods have not appeared on the map of the myriad races for a long time. The demons, ranked second, are the most powerful beings on this land. They are tyrannical, domineering, bloodthirsty, and love killing. Over hundreds of thousands of years, they have enslaved countless races and caused the extinction of countless ancient civilizations. There are almost no races among the myriad races that would not be terrified at the sight of the demon army.

"I don't think the situation is as bad as you imagine."

Ye Ge said calmly, "With the strength of a Soul Emperor-level Demon Lord, if she were truly confident in easily destroying our human empire, she could simply launch a direct attack. Why would she need to sneak around in and out of human territory all the time?"

Li Shuying: "You mean...?"

"Our previous use of the Sky-Descent Demon Explosion Missile to wipe out Long Hai's Golden Armor Army has prevented the Demon Race from fully understanding our true strength."

Night Song said, "She clearly doesn't want to confront us head-on, which is why she chose to sneak in while concealing her presence."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shuying felt that it made sense: "That seems to make sense... So why does she keep infiltrating human territory?"

“I guess there are only two things,” Ye Ge said: “The Azure Dragon’s remains buried in the Imperial Mausoleum’s underground palace, and the secrets of the Deep Blue System.”

"How did you know?" Li Shuying asked curiously.

"Nonsense, compared to demons, our human race is so lacking in resources and minerals. Besides these two things, what else would the demon race even consider?"

"..."

Ye Ge looked at the screen and continued slowly, "Yan Ji must have thought that with her Soul Emperor realm strength, we humans would never be able to detect her existence. Little did she know that their every move was under our surveillance."

"The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows. In terms of intelligence, we have an absolute advantage."

Ye Ge smiled confidently: "So, I don't think we're in any danger. On the contrary, I think this is an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Arthur asked in surprise.

"Didn't Xue'er say before that she needed a powerful Dark Race expert at the Saint Realm level to assist in weapons testing?" Ye Ge crossed his arms and pointed with his chin at the Demon Warrior on the main screen: "Look, isn't this one delivered right to our doorstep?"

Everyone: "............."

All the Ye family members in the research institute were dumbfounded. Some were stunned, some were surprised, and some were terrified. But from their eyes, it was clear that everyone probably thought Ye Ge had gone mad!

"M-Sir...are you serious?"

Bai Qing said with embarrassment, "Among them are Soul Emperor Realm experts!"

“I know,” Ye Ge said. “That’s why we need to devise a plan to separate them… I even suspect that they were never going to act together in the first place and would definitely have split up.”

Yu Li asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Night Song laughed and said, "The arrogance of demons. Since so many of them have come, it's impossible for so many people to do one thing at the same time. They will definitely choose to split up and act separately, which is more efficient."

Next, Ye Ge sensed the seven clones within his consciousness.

Now, with the spiritual power he cultivated for 1,440 years on the Mountain of Gods, controlling his seven clones in battle will no longer be a problem for him.

Aside from the Flame Demon Lord at the Soul Emperor realm, he should have a way to deal with the remaining four.

And Flame Princess...

Ye Ge let out a cold laugh.

Let old man Qinglong handle the reception!

"Listen up, everyone, this is the battle plan for exorcising the demon..."

......

A room with walls made entirely of Lego bricks.

This is Yuki Takashima's room.

Gao Shenxue huddled in the blankets, her black hair disheveled, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, her arms and legs clutching a large plush toy the size of a human body—a birthday gift Ye Ge had given her when she was little.

On the lab table in the room, the mechanical heart that constantly emits a colorful glow still floats within the instrument.

There was also a large pile of mechanical parts on the table, all of which were taken from the AI ​​female tech person. Several white magnetic mechanical swords were also placed here.

After a long day of hard work, Gao Shenxue was indeed exhausted and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she returned to her room.

"Xiaoye..."

The girl lying on the bed murmured in a dreamlike voice, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of shyness appeared on her fair cheeks. She hugged the plush toy in her arms even tighter.

In the dream, Ye Ge grabbed both of her wrists and pinned her against the wall...

However, suddenly the scene shifted to a battlefield.

Ye Ge faced a group of extraordinary experts alone, and the people attacking him were actually his own kind of humans.

Surrounded by these people, Ye Ge, covered in blood and in obvious pain, slowly collapsed...

"!"

The girl suddenly opened her eyes.

"..."

Gao Shenxue slowly sat up, and seeing that she was holding a doll instead of Xiaoye in her arms, she remained silent for a long time. She loosened her grip slightly, feeling a strange emptiness in her heart, but also a slight sense of relief.

It was just a dream...

The mechanical heart suspended on the lab table, like the Earth suspended in space, continues to rotate slowly.
