Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1270: Real Purpose

“You’re afraid of the supreme key. No, it is the ‘Will’ that is afraid of it.” Chen Rui suddenly lost his anger or despair. Instead, he was unprecedentedly calm, “From the very beginning of the battle, when you confirmed that you couldn’t kill me directly, you are inducing me to use this trump card. Do you want me to use it ‘in advance’? Or… Is there a special way to curb it here?”

Quilliana’s blood red pupils constricted whereas Chen Rui’s voice became more and more calm, “If I’m guessing right, those ‘corpses’ have actually ‘awakened’ before I came here, not when the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction ascended to the sky! However, their power has not recovered. As you said before, sacrificing all lives on the main plane and creating the so-called ‘new order’ is the price for recovery. The Book of Creation and The Book of Destruction should also be a very important link, so in the battle of the White Sea, you would rather take them with you despite suffering serious injuries.”

Looking at Quilliana, whose eyes were full of anger, Chen Rui knew that even if he didn’t fully guess it right, he was close, “During the battle where the Demon Realm closed the gate of 2 worlds, the reason why you didn’t show up was not because of your injuries were not healed, but it was related to the restoration of the ‘Will’. Therefore, the human world is transformed into the current space. Of course, in your opinion, we had lost the Book of Destruction and the Book of Creation, so just Sosbach and Dillosro were enough to destroy everything. You released the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction just now, lured me into ‘the Chaos Realm’, then gave me time to catch my breath and even explained the secrets. All these are just to create an illusion for me to bait me into using the supreme key… But, ‘they’ are too afraid of the power of the supreme key that they don’t even dare to kill me directly, for fear of triggering the Book of Life and Death. As a result, they just use God’s deterrence to crush my power, send me back here, and let you finish me off. Even if things go wrong, they will not be the ones who will be annihilated. To put it bluntly, you are just a pathetic puppet. Right, maybe they even want to borrow your hand to snatch my supreme key…”

“It’s too late to realize it now…” Quilliana’s blood-red pupils flickered with traces of flames, “This was a covert scheme, but also an overt scheme. Now your soul has been severely injured by God’s deterrence, and you are deeply trapped in the Blood Spider Mandala, you have almost lost all your power. I don’t know if you really have the ability to use the supreme key. Whether you use it or not, I will give you the final blow now and take everything from you!”

The 3 constellations shone at the same time, and all the power of this space was integrated into Quilliana’s body. Quilliana in full form was burning with the flames of destruction. Terrifying bone spurs spread out one after another. She seemed like a huge spider queen that was preparing to hunt the prey in the spider web.

In the next second, the red light rushed toward Chen Rui again with unprecedented momentum.

Quilliana’s words were not boasting. It was a covert scheme before, but now it was an overt scheme. He had lost most of his power. Even if he saw through the intention of the ‘Will’, he was helpless in the face of absolute strength.

The supreme key may be the last hope. Faced with this fatal blow, should I use it? Or not?

Demon Realm.

After the ‘mirror image’ swallowed the light of the sky, it continued to fall.

The first peak of the Demon Realm, Solorum Mountain at an altitude of 20,000 meters, was the first to touch the reflection after the artificial moon. At the moment of touching the ‘self’ in the mirror, Solorum Mountain and the reflection collapsed at the same time.

Countless people saw this scene on the magic television, and they were all terrified. People were finally sure what the ‘reflection’ would bring – Everyone and the whole world would follow in the footsteps of Solorum Mountain and be annihilated by their own ‘reflection’. There was no way to run.

“Grandpa, when will daddy and mommy come back?” Duoduo bit her finger. She asked Lex, who put up a dignified look, on the side.

As soon as Doudou heard the 2 most familiar names of ‘daddy’ and ‘mommy’, he also probed his out of Freya’s arms, trying to find the 2 closest people, but unfortunately, he didn’t find them.

Watching the shadow of death falling bit by bit, Lex stroked the little girl’s hair and forced a smile, “Soon soon.”

“Yeah.” Auglas sighed, “He’ll bring Olypheus and Lalaria back with him.”

“And Zola.” Meria snuggled into Span’s arms while Pagris and Sophia held each other tightly.

In the Bloody Empire in the distance, Raizen stood quietly at the gate of the palace hall, not looking at the sky, but only at the empty throne.

Farther away on the Mountain Seckred, the white-haired Satan looked up at the sky with a desolate gaze, just like that time.

…

The shining red light pierced Chen Rui’s body like lightning. There was no world-ending momentum; even no resistance.

Quilliana’s figure appeared behind Chen Rui. She looked at Chen Rui whose starlight had completely disappeared, and sneered, “So it’s just a bluff, you just…”

Chen Rui’s calm voice sounded, “From the beginning, I didn’t plan to use it.”

“Then, only death awaits you…” Quilliana looked astounded before she finished speaking, “What did you do?”

“It’s just a gamble to give you my last power,” Chen Rui said lightly, “The difference is that it’s not ‘seized’ by you, but ‘return’.”

“This power… is God’s deterrence!” Quilliana covered her head, and the 3 huge constellations in the distance also began to distort.

“This is not my power, but the Abyss Will, that is, those so-called ‘Gods’.” Chen Rui glanced at the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction in the sky and said indifferently, “With the Will’s protection, you are immortal. Even my ability cannot completely eliminate you. There is only one way to defeat you, and that is the power of the ‘Will’ itself”

“How could you…” Quilliana’s body trembled, and the ‘spider silk’ surrounding Chen Rui began to weaken rapidly.

“One thing you got wrong, I didn’t actually ‘get rid of’ that kind of God’s deterrence before, but I chose the riskiest ‘devour’. Although I only devour a part of it… As you can see, I even almost got annihilated by the explosion due to the recoil, but I won the bet in the end.”

What Chen Rui activated was none other than the [Mirror Body]. However, it was by no means a simple [Mirror Body].

In the previous battle, he had activated [Star Conversion], and he also had that kind of damage reflection, but none of them could pose a real threat to Quilliana. This [Mirror Body] was fused with the power of God’s deterrence plus the power of all the remaining constellations.

Chen Rui’s ancient runes and magic circle attainments had reached the level of a grand master. After experiencing several ‘seizures’, he had faintly seen through the mystery of ‘Blood Spider Mandala’.

This large formation was powerful and ingenious, but its secret was not to directly seize abilities. Instead, it used powerful willpower to ‘suppress’ consciousness and ‘strangle’ the soul. Since the soul of the trapped person was severely injured, he could not activate the relative ability in the subjective consciousness. Coupled with the devoured life and soul power, it had become ‘seizure’.

Under this power limit, if he really activated the supreme key. His consciousness would also be stifled. Not only would he be unable to activate, but the key would also be seized.

Then, the real goal of the God’s deterrence plus Blood Spider Mandala is the supreme key!

Obtaining the supreme key that controls the Book of Life and Death is the biggest purpose of the Abyss.

Although Chen Rui had seen through the Blood Spider Mandala’s mystery, and he would not be tricked into using the supreme key, he was still unable to get rid of its power. The various constellation powers activated in the previous battles were indeed suppressed and could not be used, but he still had other non-combat constellations.

Such as Adeline’s ‘Music’, Samuel’s ‘Loyalty’, Kia’s ‘Love’, Alice’s ‘Life’, and so on.

All these constellation powers were fused into that part of devoured God’s deterrence and reflected to Quilliana with [Mirror Body], which was also his last power.

Quilliana, who had acted nonchalantly even when her body was torn apart, let out a howl of pain and tightly covered her head as if she was suffering from unbearable pain. The ‘human faces’ of the 3 major constellations in the distance also showed distorted expressions. The facial features began to blur. The stars within began to explode and extinguish.

The Blood Spider Mandala around Chen Rui had completely collapsed, and the ‘seized’ constellation power gradually returned to him. Under the pressure of God’s deterrence and formation, those Galaxy Divinity Statues that showed signs of cracks began to slowly restore.

He wasn’t relieved though — Quilliana isn’t down yet. At least she has the power for the final blow. The biggest enemy is also up there.

In Chen Rui’s hand, he secretly held the supreme key.

However, the overlapping space above seemed to give him a strange feeling that it was ‘empty’.

Pure emptiness.

Quilliana’s agonizing scream suddenly stopped, and the hands covering her head slowly loosened. Chen Rui sensed something and didn’t look above anymore.

On that vaguely delicate face, the blood red in the right eye quickly dissipated, and the original faint blue was restored. Unlike the previous few times, the blue was no longer empty, but it was serene like a lake in the forest. On the other hand, the blood-red left eye appeared weak and dull.

Her body was trembling, and the pain she was suffering could be seen from the violent distortion of the 3 constellations behind her, but her trembling was not because of pain.

Now she would not tremble because of ‘loyalty’, ‘love’, ‘life’, and so on; she would only be more sober.

Chen Rui stared into those eyes and finally smiled.

“Welcome back.”

These 2 words stopped the trembling of Quilliana’s body. There was something in Chen Rui’s hand as he handed it over.

Not a weapon, but a pair of glasses.

With his mechanic level, this pair of ordinary glasses was not a brilliant work, but for ‘Quilliana’, it was the most precious thing in the world.

Once, she thought she had lost it, but now it was back in front of her eyes.

Before sinking into the nightmare, she left behind this precious thing and memory.

It was he who found it in a volcanic cave and took it with him, and it had been preserved to this day.

At this moment, she felt as if time had stopped; only the hand slowly reaching for the glasses.

With terrifying monster claw.

This was her own ‘hand’.

Tears welled up in the blue right eye.
