Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

At the same time, all of the high-rise buildings' management officials of the Harbolo Base Camp gathered in a big hall.

A gorgeous young woman was sitting on the throne in the middle of the hall. Her eyes were looking down on all of the Demon Evolved Beings below.

All the Demon Evolved Beings in the hall had their heads bowed down. They did not even dare to look up at the young woman who was seated above them.

As the supreme ruler of the Harbolo Base Camp, Angelique, a Level-three Mutated Demon, never thought that there would be an Ares in such a small place as the Harbolo Base Camp. Yes, this young woman was indeed an Ares-level Mutated Demon!

The demons at the scene all feared her tremendously, as the Ares-level Mutated Demons were the supreme rulers of all of the demons. As such, they had thousands of troops and horses under their command and controlled a large territory. In fact, a small place like the Harbolo Base Camp could be utterly wiped out by a single raised finger of an Ares-level Mutated Demon!

"The great Ares-level Mutated Demon Tonya, may I ask what I can do for you?" Demon Angelique was very respectful as she addressed one of those below her.

Tonya's eyes swept through the crowd of hundreds of demons and focussed on Demon Collic.

"You, stay..." Tonya said, while she pointed at Collic.

Some demons breathed sighs of relief as they heard her words, while others seemed to become jealous. Nobody knew the reason for the sudden arrival of Tonya at the Harbolo Base Camp.

Demon Collic trembled. Unlike Collic, many demons did not know of this Ares Tonya.

Demon Angelique looked at Collic and said indifferently, "Come up here, Collic."

Collic stepped forward with a bitter face.

"The great Ares Tonya I will wait outside the hall for your orders at any time," Demon Angelique bowed respectfully, then retreated silently.

"Great Ares Tonya, what can I do for you?" Collic asked.

Tonya looked at Collic and asked jokingly, "Boy, have you forgotten me after not seeing me for so many years?"

When Collic knew that things could no longer be concealed, he immediately fell to his knees in horror. "Great Ares, I was wrong! I shouldn't have stolen your treasure in the first place."

"Since you know it's mine, you had better take it out now!" Tonya said coldly, her eyes sparkling with killing intent.

Collic shivered with fear. After all, Tonya was the Ares who fought for the Star of Hope with the Ares human beings.

Initially, Collic was only a monster. It was only by coincidence that he had picked up the Star of Hope. It was also because of the Star of Hope that Collic had evolved from being an ordinary monster to a Level-one Mutated Demon.

It never occurred to him that Ares Tonya would come in person to look for him after all of these years. Collic was trembling with fear and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

He then said, "Great Ares, that treasure is not in my hands now, as it was stolen from me by the human beings."

"Who dares to steal my treasure?" Tonya asked.

In the lakes of the Magical Beast Mountains, Tonya could sense two smells, one of which was Collic, and the other was the scent of a human who she had yet to find. Ares Tonya had followed the scent of Collic to make her way here.

Demon Collic did not dare hide any details with regards to how he had lost the Star of Hope, nor did he conceal any of Steve's involvement in the process. He even showed Steve's picture to her! Looking at the teenager in the picture, Steve looked exactly the same as the human being she had seen at the lake.

"My treasure is in his hands now?" Ares Tonya looked at Collic coldly. She then said, "Since that's the case, you should die for your wrongdoings!"

"Great Ares, you can't kill me! I have the latest news about this young lad! Keep me alive, so I can help recover the lost treasure for you," Collic begged in horror.

"What information do you have?" Tonya looked upon him indifferently, while he was still kneeling down on the ground, begging for his life.

Collic quickly reached into the compressed capsule and took out a bottle of the seven-colored liquid. As he did so, Tonya found the scent that exuded from the liquid to be quite familiar.

"The power of the Star of Hope can be found in this bottle of serum," Tonya said in surprise.

"Yes! This is the latest mysterious serum from the human beings. It is called 'Fantasy Serum.'' I analyzed the serum and found the energy component of the Star of Hope within it," Collic said.

Ares Tonya looked at him coldly, not saying a word.

Collic hurried to spit out what he knew. "The time when this serum appeared was almost the same time that the Star of Hope was lost. Thus, my guess is that the human being who took the Star of Hope knows its real purpose."

He then added, "I also heard that, in the near future, a large Pharmacist Forum will be held in the Stanlos Base Camp. As the young lad will likely make an appearance, I can take that opportunity to kill him, then seize the Star of Hope!"

After listening to what Collic had just said, Tonya thought about his plan in silence. Ares did not usually make their moves in public, as they could easily be detected by the human beings. Thus, sneaking into a crowd of human beings was not an easy feat for Ares.

"I will trust you just this once, and only for the time being." Ares Tonya's voice revealed her misgivings, yet she really had no better alternative at the moment.

Collic breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here's a bottle of the ancient serum. This will help you to sneak into the crowd of human beings. Drink it, and it will help to conceal your scent as a mutated demon. It will also enhance your power, transforming you into a level-two mutated demon." Tonya took out a bottle of black-colored serum and handed it to Collic.

As it was a great joy to be promoted to a level-two mutated demon, without hesitation, Collic received the serum and drank it immediately. Sure enough, after drinking the serum, Collic felt a powerful force surging out of his body, while his strength increased several folds in an instant!

Seeing what happened to Collic, Ares Tonya smiled and said, "This serum is called the 'Guardianship of Hades.' After a demon drinks it, it can increase the power of that demon by an entire level within a year. However, unless the demon drinks an antidote within that same year, the demon will die."

After hearing this, Collic's joy disappeared, and his eyes were instantly filled with fear.

Ares Tonya saw this and laughed. She then said, "You can rest assured that, as long as you retrieve the Star of Hope, I will give you an antidote. But, if you fail..."

Naturally, his failure would lead to his death!

"Great Ares, you can rest assured that I will bring back the Star of Hope!" Collic said in a determined tone. After all, this concerned his very survival!

Ares Tonya waved her hands at Collic, indicating that he was allowed to leave. Currently, almost all of the Ares on the Blue Star Continent were eyeing the ancient relics of the Southern Ocean.

As such, nobody would notice any of the happenings going on in the territory of the human beings. Their distraction gave Ares Tonya the confidence that she could successfully retrieve the Star of Hope.

While she knew that the ancient relics in the Southern Ocean were important, with so many Ares competing against one another there, she was confident that there would be no results within a short time.

So, instead of wasting her time there, she figured that it would be wiser to take this opportunity to retrieve the Star of Hope. On top of recruiting Collic's help, Ares Tonya commanded Demon Angelique to setup the frontline.
