The white light was so dazzling, and an indescribable power instantly lit up the underground world.
Shura had been waiting for the best opportunity. When Quiriana was about to use "God's Gift" and the bone tower's defense was at its lowest, he finally revealed his final fangs. Quiriana's angry attack to kill Shura was equivalent to giving a boost to the already activated "nuclear bomb".
If Quiriana's real body was here, no matter how powerful "Brilliant Lightning" and "Cosmic Annihilation" were, they wouldn't be able to cause too much damage. However, what appeared on the main altar was only a projection of her.
Originally, the bone tower that gathered a strong power of faith and blood sacrifice could bear and share the damage suffered by the main altar. However, because Quiriana was summoned during the main sacrificial ceremony, all the power of the bone tower was sucked dry by the main altar. Although layers of protection had been set up outside the underground world, the internal area of the main altar was at its weakest, and it couldn't withstand this terrifying destructive power at all.
In fact, this strengthened version of "Brilliant Lightning" was originally prepared by Chen Rui for the trip to Holy Mountain of Light, and it was very likely that he would "repay" it to Raphael. However, he went to Holy Mountain of Light for Tiffany and the Source of Creation. After all, it was a personal gain and loss, and the descent of the abyss was a disaster for all living beings. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave this "big gift" to Quiriana.
Wherever the bright white light went, everything, including the Black Death Apostles, the forest of ancient towers, the corpse road … instantly turned into particles and disappeared without a trace. Quiriana's clone only lasted for a few seconds before it couldn't withstand the terrifying power anymore. In a shrill scream, it turned into nothingness along with the main altar.
The entire Meas Kingdom was shaking, and the ground was cracking. The surrounding seawater was also affected by this terrifying power, and a tsunami-like tide appeared. The citizens who didn't know what was going on thought that there was some kind of strong earthquake, and they all ran out of their houses in fear.
After half a day, the "earthquake" finally subsided. The area where the imperial mausoleum was located had completely collapsed. If it wasn't for the powerful protection set up around the main altar to prevent invasion, the power of this explosion was enough to sink the entire island country into the sea.
The moment the main altar was reduced to ashes, Quilliana of the Purple Garden Palace trembled. Her power abruptly stopped. She covered her head and screamed in pain.
"Damn it! Even if you destroy the main altar, the will of the abyss won't be destroyed! It won't be long before we meet again! At that time … "
Her words came to an abrupt halt before she finished her sentence. The appalling redness in her blue eyes gradually faded. The hideous "armor" and the sharp fingernails disappeared at a visible speed, and the naked body of a woman was restored.
On her perfect body, the originally hideous and terrifying "veins" no longer existed, but she seemed to have lost all her strength. She swayed and fell forward.
Chen Rui's figure flashed, and he caught Veronica and slowly sat down.
Veronica's ocean-blue eyes looked extremely tired, but there was an unprecedented peace in them.
"You did it, Little Arthur. No, I should call you Arthur …"
"You used your hands to pull me out of the abyss of despair."
Veronica's beauty was comparable to Catherine and Rolla's, and her mature and perfect naked body was full of temptation. However, there wasn't the slightest reverie in Chen Rui's eyes at this moment, only a faint sorrow.
Whether it was the Heart of Transcending Hatred or the battle with Quiriana, he had to pay the price of burning his soul. Moreover, in order to kill Chen Rui, Quiriana had overdrawn all the power of this Soul Variant.
Now, Veronica's body and soul were exhausted. Even the resurrection potion couldn't work.
Veronica raised her hand and slowly stroked his face, "Little Arthur, you have grown up. Take good care of yourself and the people around you in the future. My heart will always be by your side to accompany you. "
Chen Rui smiled slightly. His tears fell down and fell on Veronica's face. In his consciousness, a strong sadness surged into his heart. In a daze, he couldn't tell whether this was the original "Arthur" or his.
"I'm sorry, I'm not the original Arthur."
"Your tears are as warm as the sun." Veronica looked at the sky. Although there was only moonlight, she seemed to see the sun, "I finally don't have to hope anymore because I'm already bathed in the sun …"
Her figure gradually became thin, but her beautiful smile was still calm. Suddenly, she raised her head and kissed Chen Rui's lips.
Chen Rui trembled slightly. Before he could feel that touch of gentleness, the body in his arms had already become light and dissipated into countless light spots, like butterflies waving their wings to say goodbye.
He raised his head and looked at the light spots that were gradually dissipating in the air. He gently reached out his hand, and the light spots lingered in his hand for a moment before they began to disappear.
In the air, a silver-white object appeared, emitting a soft white light. All the light spots were quickly absorbed into it.
Holy Grail.
In addition to the "Holy Protection Spell" that assisted in battle, the Holy Grail also had another function, which was "Holy Spirit".
Originally, Chen Rui's plan was to use the skill "Holy Spirit" to stabilize the biggest threat, Ben Hong. He didn't expect that it would become the last hope to save Veronica.
"Holy Spirit" could absorb the damaged soul body into the Holy Grail to nourish it until it recovered. The effect of "Holy Spirit" could be strengthened by sacrificing some kind of power of light. However, "Holy Spirit" was not omnipotent. The degree and time of recovery depended on the degree of damage to the soul body. Veronica's soul had almost completely collapsed, which was completely different from Ben Hong's damage. He didn't know if it could be recovered or when it could be recovered.
Chen Rui closed his eyes and felt the warmth that seemed to still exist around him. His entire spiritual power was also undergoing some special changes. The original subconsciousness of "Arthur" in the depths of his heart gradually dissipated and integrated into his soul. His soul power also continued to grow in the process of refinement.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and strode out.
Before Chen Rui entered Ziyuan Palace, he had already used the prepared props to set up the strongest ancient runes formation around, shielding the movement and power of Ziyuan Palace. Although the battle just now was very fierce, no sound could be heard from outside. This formation was a combination of a huge amount of power of faith and Chen Rui's body. If he was defeated by Quiriana, then the formation would also collapse.
When Chen Rui left, he didn't directly close the formation. Instead, he activated a certain rune function. After a certain period of time, it would gradually disappear, revealing the true appearance of Ziyuan Palace that had been razed to the ground.
Chen Rui didn't stop along the way and went straight to the palace hall.
This time he came to Yerodisha, nominally to meet his "father."
Unsurprisingly, although it was already late at night, Rex The Great was still waiting for him in the hall. No one stopped him along the way.
"Thank you for waiting, Your Majesty." Chen Rui came to the steps under the throne, stood still, and saluted.
"You also know that I 'waited' for a long time?" Rex The Great snorted coldly. "You're having a good time in Ziyuan Palace."
Hearing the word "comfortable," Chen Rui shrugged speechlessly and didn't explain.
"You and your dead uncle Sophistry's wife …" Rex The Great deliberately used this more taboo title.
Chen Rui shook his head and said, "In this world, there is no 'Sophistry's wife'."
"You've made up your mind to take her away at all costs?"
"No, I haven't finished my words. In this world, not only is there no 'Sophistry's wife', but there is also no 'Veronica' — there is no more."
Rex the Great understood the meaning of this sentence, and a moved expression appeared on his face. It was as if he was meeting this "son" in front of him for the first time. "I've really underestimated you, Arthur. You can actually be so heartless … I have to admit that you already possess the most important qualities that an emperor should have.
"The most important quality … is being cruel and merciless?" Chen Rui said indifferently, "All the obstacles in front of that road, everyone, will be eradicated without hesitation. Is that so? Your Majesty. "
Rex The Great narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you asking the obvious?"
"Is that so?" Chen Rui showed an indifferent expression. "It seems that I asked a stupid question."
"That's not the question you're stupid about, but …" A piece of paper appeared in Rex The Great's hand, which was given to him by Chen Rui back then. "I still don't understand. This is unbelievably stupid."
"Isn't His Majesty doing this? Or maybe he's still guarding against it, fearing that this is a trap. "Chen Rui smiled." Don't tell me that His Majesty has never thought of this. Even if I didn't take the initiative to bring it up, it would only be a matter of time. "
It turned out that the content of that piece of paper was the real reason why the Jinyao Territory had been excluded, suppressed, and even threatened during this period of time. The one who pushed all of this was actually "Arthur" himself.
"Are you willing to give up all of this? Or, are you ready to give up all of your efforts a long time ago? "Rex The Great shook his head." Just for the Holy Light Robe? That thing is just a symbol. Even if it has a special meaning to the Church of Light, it won't bring you any real benefits. You obviously have the support of the Church, and you've shown such ability, and even that resolute will and means. Even if you overthrow me now, it's not impossible for you to sit on the throne. Why did you make such a decision? "
"Shouldn't His Majesty be happy? Today I even came to the door, indirectly killed the commander of the garrison in the capital, and had an affair with the so-called uncle's widow. Isn't this the best opportunity for His Majesty? "Chen Rui looked around the quiet hall." But, do you really know what I want? Your Majesty. "
"I don't know." Rex's fingers slowly tapped the armrest of the throne. "I only know that you shouldn't have come alone today."
