195: Impotent Rage
The Demon God Cult was ambushed and suffered a huge setback.
This incident made the other races in the Galaxy ecstatic; everyone had been displeased with the Demon God Cult for a long time, but these things were even better at hiding than rats, so they could only swallow their anger. This major defeat of the Demon God Cult was sweeter than eating a honeydew melon for everyone.

# The Creation of the Demon Detection Instrument — The Demise of the Demon God Cult #
Under the propaganda of various media in the universe, this battle was heavily publicized. Even the humans, who were just playing a supporting role, were praised for being excellent bait, with calls for other races to learn from them.
The human side was delighted by this. Although they became supporting characters, it depended on whose supporting characters they were.
Barbara's reputation in the Galaxy was immense. With her perfect appearance, top-tier combat power, and cold personality, she was simply the dream lover of males from all races in the Galaxy.
Even females of various races in the Galaxy worshipped Barbara.
Even the Mechanical Clan, which has no gender, had to praise her as a true hero.
Barbara's status in the Galaxy could be described as being below three individuals but above tens of thousands.
Only three Sovereigns could surpass her.
Meanwhile, the Demon God Cult was gnashing their teeth in anger.
"Damn it, who exactly was it?"
"Information must have been leaked, otherwise why would Barbara be sent? She has always been stationed in the Northern Frontier, dealing with the Chaotic Star Domain."
"Damn it, don't let me catch you, traitor."
"What do we do next?"
Everyone fell silent. The Demon God Cult suffered too heavy losses this time. Stellar River Level Peak powerhouses—how much blood food would it take to nurture them? In the Demon God Cult, they were absolutely high-ranking members.
Now that five of them had sacrificed themselves, it was undoubtedly like losing an arm for their Demon God Cult.
And it was not just that; those fleets had also been hidden for a long time. For this operation, many pawns were used to dispatch the fleets to human territory.
Unfortunately, they encountered Barbara, the bane of metal constructs. Her signature skill, the Silverwing Storm, directly inflicted devastating damage.
"How about we just give up?" one demon asked cautiously.
He initially thought he would be reprimanded, as such cowardly behavior was a disgrace to the Demon God Cult.
But this time was different. Facing Barbara, everyone seemed to tacitly agree that they couldn't win.
"Let's just give up. Our Demon God Cult isn't a cult of reckless fools. There's no need to confront her head-on. What we excel at is infiltration and sabotage."
"Exactly, exactly! Who proposed the idea of sending a fleet to attack? It was utterly foolish! If those five big shots had hidden in the human world, they would have already overturned it."
"Didn't you propose that? Saying you wanted to show humans a lesson, crush them, and display the might of our Demon God Cult."
"Not me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!"
All the demons agreed.
"However, retaliation against humans cannot stop. This time, we'll change our approach and switch to infiltration mode."
"Yes, those within the cult who are good at infiltration can act, transform into humans, and enter the human world."
"Those who aren't skilled can also use the guise of trade and exchange to infiltrate."
"It's said that humans welcome aliens, so we can use this opportunity to infiltrate."
The demons decided to use their old methods.
.....
Xuwu Yide was a pawn of the Demon God Cult, highly skilled at concealing his identity and carrying out assassinations. This was just one of his hundreds of insignificant missions.
"What is the superior thinking? Humans are at most Star Domain Level, why send me? It's overkill, a mere trifle." Xuwu Yide was very displeased. Although the reward was generous, low-level assassinations would only diminish his prestige.
That's right, he was a Stellar River Level, and within the entire assassination system, he was among the top existences.
He knew that the Demon God Cult had been severely wounded by Barbara this time, but he wasn't asked to assassinate Barbara, but rather a direct disciple named Lin Ye, which was a step down.
Now he had to pass through customs, posing as an alien merchant.
According to inspection requirements, he went through a series of checks at the request of the staff.
"Hmph, they really didn't discover anything, did they?" Xuwu Yide was very good at reading people's expressions. He was certain that the staff member just now hadn't noticed anything.
According to the plan, he arrived at the hotel and began contacting human merchants for transactions, seizing the opportunity to get close to Lin Ye.
"That's it, nothing more than this." He lay down contentedly; this human hotel was quite comfortable.
Suddenly, a silver spear shot down from the sky. The assassin's perception instantly made him realize he had been discovered. Relying on a few Life-saving items, he desperately dodged the attack.
"Damn it, how is this possible?" Xuwu Yide didn't know where the problem lay.
But the sky full of silver feathers had already completely surrounded him, and he was ultimately slain.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lin Ye cupped his hands.
"Mhm." Senior Sister was still as aloof as ever, leaving after speaking.
Of course, the Demon Detection Instrument was set up at the customs inspection point. Lin Ye hadn't held much hope initially, thinking that after such a major defeat, the Demon God Cult wouldn't be foolish enough to send more people to their deaths. But he didn't expect them to be so stubborn.
The optimized Demon Detection Instrument could collect a portion of the opponent's cells to activate their demonic transformation without being detected by the other side.
Subsequently, many more pawns of the Demon God Cult were discovered, though these were not as strong as the big fish at the beginning and were personally dealt with by Lin Ye.
After losing some pawns, the Demon God Cult finally ceased their operations.
"This Demon Detection Instrument really is effective!"
"Damn it, Xuwu Yide was our trump card! He was actually caught too."
"Now we can only dispatch non-demon infiltrators, but unfortunately, these infiltrators are relatively minor, and the threat they pose is too limited."
The Demon God Cult consisted of more than just demons; there were also many normal cosmic Life forms. However, these individuals were few, as the Demon God Cult didn't offer them much benefit, and most were brought in through coercion.
For example, tempting someone's beloved wife to become a demon, then having her persuade him.
Or tempting young attractive men to become demons, and then having their fanatical followers become pawns.
Seduction was also very common, as many absorbed succubus abilities. Such promiscuous individuals were simply social tools, invincible socialites.
But compared to demons, they were too rare, and their strength was generally not high. The stronger one was, the harder they were to exploit, because they had high-tech instruments around them that could detect demonic energy, making it impossible for demons to get close.
"Let's just forget it." One demon said, feeling exhausted.
"We can only forget it. These non-demon pawns are quite valuable; there's no need to waste them by having them act as suicide bombers."
All the demons fell silent, then one by one agreed.
"Now, let's first resolve the commotion regarding the Demon Detection Instrument. Once this thing becomes widespread, our lives won't be easy."
They gave up on revenge, but another huge problem loomed: the issue of the Demon Detection Instrument had always been a challenge for the demon race. With this devastating blow, it was uncertain whether the Demon God Cult could survive.
Although most people believed it would be difficult.
