Devil's Son-in-Law

The Demon Realm, the residence of the Dark Moon.

In the Super System.

“Lost 2/3 of the army?” Chen Rui frowned slightly when he immediately received the loss report of the ancient alchemy civilization army from the City of Stars’ Crystal Phoenix.

The ancient army sent this time was about 10% of the troops of the City of Stars who could fight (excluding gremlins). The combat power was already quite strong. Especially the titan legion led by Oceanus, it was already a quarter of the total number of the titans in Demon Realm and Storm Island. This time 300 titans were also lost, which showed the intensity of the battle.

The rescue this time was also a test.

The soldiers of the ancient alchemy civilization were much stronger than ordinary demons or humans, and there was Crystal Phoenix, an inviolable control center. Although the soldiers had corresponding wisdom and consciousness, they would not flee like ordinary troops. The same was true for the Abyss, but most of the monsters in the Abyss had only fighting instincts and no separate consciousness. In contrast, the creatures of the ancient alchemy civilization had a humanity that was closer to a real human, and their combat power fluctuated greatly.

As far as the combat strength of the Abyss army and ancient alchemy civilization army were compared, there was not much difference, but don’t forget, the ancient alchemy civilization was destroyed by the Abyss.

Judging from the last words left by the mad scientist of the ‘Sky Wheel’, the 4 ancient alchemy empires at that time did not pay enough attention to the Abyss. They were still engaged in civil war when the Abyss invaded. It was too late to regret it when they realized it.

But this was only from the perspective of the ancient alchemy civilization itself. With Chen Rui’s personal experience of Quilliana’s terrifying strength and the contact battle of alchemy creatures in the Blue Glory Capital, it could be analyzed that even when the ancient alchemy civilization went all out, they were not a match for the Abyss either.

Not only high-end combat power like the 3 rulers of Abyss but also the Abyss creatures below. In terms of ‘quality’, the alchemy civilization capital’s level 5 and level 6 combat power of the ancient alchemy creatures was not far from that of the Abyss creatures, but the biggest gap was the quantity.

Due to Guradam’s successful research on the rule energy, the performance of the City of Stars had been further improved. Although it had not yet reached the real level 6 civilization capital, Chen Rui’s total alchemy army had surpassed the general level 5 metropolitan civilization. There were 6 million gremlin servants, 3 million crystal beasts, 1.5 million lamp spirits, 300,000 assemble puppets, 30,000 giant crystal beasts, and 5,000 titans.

Under the premise of sufficient rule energy, the success rate of super-evolution was also increasing. There were more and more super-level creatures. It could be said that the troops Chen Rui had in hand were already extremely terrifying. Just by force, he could unify the Demon Realm and the human world. However, it was still not enough to face the Abyss.

Even if it became the ancient alchemy civilization capital, there was still a strict upper limit on the creatures that could be produced and controlled. Back then, in the ancient alchemy civilization empire, there were 4 major civilization capitals. In the end, they were still destroyed by the Abyss.

The number of the Abyss could only be summed up in a word: Endless.

This point had been confirmed by the demise of countless planes. The troops attacking the Blue Glory Empire were only a drop in the bucket. Even if Chen Rui took action himself, eliminating those little soldiers was just wasting energy and time in vain.

To completely destroy the power of the Abyss, there was only 1 way: To destroy the root.

Namely, get rid of the 3 rulers… or, that eye!

At present, this was still a very distant goal. In the last battle of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, the 3 archangels, Zola, and Chen Rui almost got team wiped. With this gap in strength, it would be useless even if Satan and others joined the battle.

But ‘impossible’ can never become ‘possible’ without trying.

Fortunately, Quilliana is injured, and the other 2 Abyss rulers are also missing. This precious time must be used to recover and increase strength as soon as possible. Perhaps this is the last chance.

To defend against the Abyss, the forces of humans, demons, and the ancient alchemy civilization must unite.

What puzzled Chen Rui was that Elemental King, Satan, and Python once called the Abyss the ‘cursed one’. What is this curse?

From the old peak stage of the Kingdom Level powerhouse and the dialogue with Quilliana, it can be seen that the combat power of the main plane should be the most powerful initially. For instance, the 3 archangels all have SSSS+++ combat power while the rest of the trainers’ strength of the same generally far exceeds the current levels. And now, the 3 archangels are easily defeated by Quilliana. There should be only one reason for such a huge gap, the Gods.

Quilliana called the 3 archangels ‘subordinates who have lost their master’s blessing’ and ‘bereaved dogs’, so the strength weakening of Michael and the people of the entire main plane is due to the loss of ‘God blessing’, which is the buff of God power.

The reason for the fall of the Gods should be that Lucifer used the supreme key to open the ‘eye’ in the void. And in my dream, that blood-red eye was transformed by some kind of existence besieged by the ‘galaxy’.

The galaxy is likely to be the Gods, so what is the existence of the ‘eye’? What is its relationship with the Abyss?

Chen Rui felt that he couldn’t wrap his mind around, but under the current situation, the most important thing was how to resist the Abyss’ attack and reduce the loss of life, which was also equivalent to reducing the recovery speed of the Abyss.

Chen Rui came back to his senses and looked at the people in the Galaxy Divinity Temple with their eyes closed and the star power lingering all over them, then he didn’t think about it anymore. He closed his eyes and merged into that vast galaxy.

Holy Light Mountain.

An emergency meeting was also held.

The 3 leaders of Pope Vantis, Holy Lady Eudora and Archbishop Pusmeer presided over the meeting. The 3 cardinals, Chief Judge Seus and Zamindar, the current master of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, all attended the meeting.

It could be said that this was the highest leaders’ summit below the Holy Light Mountain super-level.

“Just received the intel from the Blue Glory Capital, Landbis has finally eliminated the invasion of the Abyss army. She is currently organizing the military and civilians to evacuate westward. The Lubo Empire is in danger.” Vantis glanced at Eudora, “What do you think, Your Holiness Eudora?”

Vantis was old, and the position of the pope would not last long. Eudora of Raphael Faction had now become the most powerful in the Holy Light Mountain. She was almost certain to be the next pope.

According to the agreement between Michael and the other 2, if one could become the pope, the person would get more faith accordingly. As for the open and secret power struggles below, it was simply a contest between ants in the ‘earthly world’, which was of no importance. What’s more, the current focus of the 3 archangels was on the Abyss. After returning to the White Cliff, they immediately began to heal their injuries and prepare to deal with Quilliana. Regarding the trivial matter of the pope’s position, they only said ‘make up your own mind’.

As soon as Vantis came up, he asked Eudora for her opinion, which was self-evident. Eudora looked at the crowd, showing a confident expression, and spoke up, “2 matters are imperative. The first is the westward withdrawal of church personnel. The churches in the Blue Glory Empire, the Iron Gate Empire and other places have been destroyed. The clergies and believers have suffered heavy losses. The power of the church must be transferred to a safe area as soon as possible. The second thing is to unite. The shocking Demon Realm Royal Highness Prince Consort… I believe you all know his identity. Currently, he is already the equivalent existence as Sir Michael and Sir Raphael. He has formed an alliance with the 3 archangels in the Golden Estate. As far as I know, this time the Blue Glory Capital was able to resist the attack of the Abyss due to the special troops from the Demon Realm. Although he is from the Demon Realm, in the face of a common enemy, unity is the general trend. We should promote the process of this unity. For the church, the more free cannon ashes, the better.”

Eudora’s words almost spoke what Vantis wanted to say, and her tone was unceremonious, which seemed to upstage the leader. Vantis smiled without being bothered by it, “Her Holiness Holy Lady is right, now the 3 archangels are in closed-door training in Light Divinity Temple. We should deal with these matters as soon as possible. Your Holiness Eudora will be in charge.”

Everyone nodded. Zamindar, the master of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, spoke up, “Now the Blue Glory Empire is dead. In the battle of Fansidian, the Divinity Temple Knight Legion and pastor legion suffered heavy losses. Should we transfer Sir Parsali and Ms. Miranda back to the White Empire Cliff?”

Eudora glanced at Zamindar lightly, “Empress Landbis has a very high prestige in the Blue Glory Empire. This time she has shown extraordinary courage in sticking to the capital. Although the Blue Glory Empire was temporarily destroyed, many subjects still escaped. In the future, the use of Landbis will still be very high, so her safety must be protected. I reported to Sir Raphael before, requesting to dispatch Parsali to support and escort. It is also because of the church safeguard of the Holy Empire. I even sent my only personal apprentice Miranda out, do you think I have any selfish motives?”

Zamindar shook his head and didn’t say anything else. In fact, everyone here knew that Parsali had been targeted and squeezed out by Eudora. This time was obviously a public revenge. She wanted to use the Abyss to eliminate dissidents, but Eudora sent Miranda out as well, which left him speechless.

A sneer expression flashed across Eudora’s face. Parsali knew too many secrets about her, some of which could directly affect her ascension to the pope’s throne. Although according to Parsali’s personality, he would not reveal under normal circumstances, only dead people couldn’t speak. Hence, in the name of righteousness, she sought Raphael’s order to dispatch Parsali to reinforce Fansidian urgently, and she also sent her own apprentice Miranda to monitor, in order to completely eradicate Parsali. As for Miranda, she had already forced her to sign a contract. Compared with the position of the pope, sacrificing an apprentice was nothing.

“Okay, it’s decided!” Eudora made a firm conclusion, and Zamindar clenched his fists.

At this moment, the Divinity Temple Knight outside rushed to report, “Everyone…”

In the distant sky of the White Cliff, the pure white clouds gradually turned blood-colored, and the color slowly spread toward the Holy Light City. Everywhere they passed was coated with a layer of eerie blood-red.
