'Abyss.'
'The biggest trouble.'
'The endless war between two realms and countless lives are all for the purpose of sealing the abyss!'
'According to Chen Rui's conjecture, the place where the abyss is sealed should be in the Elemental Realm. However, the truth of the seal was finally revealed today.' Then, what's sealed in the Elemental Realm … '
Chen Rui faintly understood something. It seemed that part of the fog that wrapped more of the truth was removed.
It was not that Ben Hong or the others deliberately kept him guessing. Given the scene when Moore revealed the secret of the Elemental Realm, some things were affected by an invisible "rule". If he revealed it rashly, he would be destroyed like Moore.
"If you want to show your power, you've achieved your goal. However, if you want to stop the war or the contract, you'll be the enemy and sinner of the entire world no matter what your purpose is." Raphael said with a sneer, "Your power is indeed amazing. None of us can defeat you in a one-on-one fight. However, don't be too complacent. If we, the 3 supreme angels, launch the 'Oracle Formation' with the secret skill of Fusion Kingdom, we will definitely suppress you! "
'Oracle Formation?' Chen Rui slightly frowned. 'After I've shown such a great power, how could Raphael still be so confident?'
"You won't have a chance to fuse." Ben Hong's voice sounded. Meanwhile, Ben Hong and Rolla appeared beside Chen Rui. Ben Hong's qi locked onto Raphael while Rolla's qi locked onto Chen Rui.
Chen Rui's eyes flickered. 'It seems that this "Oracle Formation" is indeed unimaginably powerful. Otherwise, Ben Hong wouldn't make such a move. Besides, the "Oracle Formation" should also have the weakness that it could be broken one by one before the fusion is successful.'
"This battle is meaningless." Satan opened his mouth, "Actually, you should be clear that the lives sacrificed in the war between two realms are more important than the entire world. If your strength is only at the level that you've just displayed, then I can tell you bluntly that, just like us, your strength is not enough to change the outcome, and you can't afford to fail. "
This sentence made Chen Rui silent. The Abyss was his greatest enemy. Back then, he joined forces with Satan to destroy the Main Altar of Despair. If it were not for Helen's Siren's Heart, his soul would have completely collapsed under the power of the Lord of Despair, Dillothro's clone. That was just Dillothro's projection. According to Ben Hong, the Lord of Despair was the weakest among the three lords of the Abyss.
Although Chen Rui's current strength was far greater than it had been in the past, and even Satan and Michael were no match for him, from Satan's words, it was clear that Chen Rui was no match for the three Juggernauts.
What's more, the three Juggernauts had an endless army of abyssal demons under their command!
"This is a painful choice, but it's a choice that has to be made." In the distance, Augulas spoke. Although he was only a middle-stage False God, compared to those peak False Gods, he knew the character of his future son-in-law better.
This man possessed incredible power, and at the same time, there were things in his heart that were superfluous to the strong. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to achieve such incredible things. It was also because of this that Augulas felt reassured to keep both of his daughters by his side.
Chen Rui clenched his fists. Satan and Augulas were right. Even if he had the ability to forcibly stop the war between the two realms, he could not bear the consequences of failure. It was difficult for him to accept the fact that so many innocent people would die in the war, but he could only accept it.
A sense of powerlessness.
A strong sense of powerlessness.
Chen Rui looked at the super experts around him and let out a long sigh. The starlight around him dimmed, and the moment the light disappeared, he also disappeared.
Rolla frowned and followed after him. So did Paglio and the others. Lala thought about it and left as well. Only Ben Hong remained standing in the same place.
"Too many fetters, too many scruples." Michael looked indifferently in the direction where Chen Rui disappeared. "Laughable weakness."
"That's right. You only have strength, but you lack absolute obsession with power." Satan agreed with Michael's opinion.
"Perhaps it's another kind of obsession that we don't understand." Gabriel closed his eyes again.
Ben Hong's lips moved, but he did not say anything. His figure gradually faded.
"Another guy who is fettered by meaningless things." Raphael looked at Ben Hong's disappearing figure and sneered.
"She has never gotten over it … However, none of this is important to me." Satan laughed. "So what if the entire world sinks into oblivion? As long as I become a god, it's fine. He, she, and all of you are merely stepping stones for me."
"Don't be complacent too early." Michael snorted coldly, "There will be a battle between you and me sooner or later. However, the appearance of the 'door' this time is probably fishy. Let's finish the most important thing first."
The golden contract appeared again. This time, no one raised any objections.
Chen Rui left the light pillar and flew aimlessly for a while. He landed on a mountain and looked ahead silently.
There was a sudden fluctuation in his consciousness. Ben Hong's figure appeared in the Galaxy Divinity Temple of the Super System. It was a soul clone.
"The main plane is like a core. The periphery is an eternal protective barrier laid by divine power. Any power that is not allowed is excluded outside the barrier."
"However, due to the fall of the Supreme, eternity is no longer there. Infinite has become limited. Only life force can be sacrificed to fill the barrier for protection. Not only the power is greatly reduced, but continuous sacrifice is also needed."
"The 'door' is a warning sign that the power of the barrier is close to exhaustion, so a war must be fought."
"However, one day, the 'door' that has lost eternity will collapse. This time, the appearance of the door in advance indicates that the degree of strain on the barrier has exceeded the normal situation. Sacrifice is inevitable. War is the most suitable method. Otherwise, we can only take action and kill directly. "
"You can't change it, so you can only accept it. Unless you can have the determination to destroy everything …"
"Or, the power that overrides everything …"
After these words, Ben Hong's figure disappeared.
There was no farewell in these words, but Chen Rui knew that this was a farewell.
She left.
Ben Hong fulfilled his promise and helped Athena give birth to the child safely. Now, he chose to leave.
Maybe they would meet soon, maybe it would take a long time, maybe they would never meet again.
Just like a certain song, it was better not to meet.
Chen Rui sensed Ben Hong's name in the "link". He was silent for a long time, but he didn't cancel it in the end.
Rolla followed Chen Rui from a distance and didn't go up to disturb him.
The other people who came one after another were ignored by the fairy dragon. They just nodded at Catherine. Although the fairy dragon wanted to stay with Chen Rui, she knew very well that Catherine was the most suitable guide for him who was in conflict and pain.
Catherine flew to Chen Rui's side and didn't speak. She just stood side by side with him and watched his gaze.
"Everything in front of me …" Chen Rui finally spoke, but he only said half a sentence.
Catherine was telepathically connected with him, and she continued, "You don't want to see these all turn into ashes that can be destroyed, but you can't accept the cruelty of sending countless innocent lives to the altar with your own hands."
"'Personally' … that's right." Chen Rui looked at his hand, "I have the power to stop it, but I can't stop it. It was caused by my own hands."
"Before I ascended the throne, my two brothers … were completely annihilated under the ambush I planned. None of them survived." Catherine also looked at her hand, "My only remaining brother was personally killed by me on the battlefield. At the moment I killed him, what came to my mind was the scene when I held his hand and told him stories when I was young. At that moment, I only felt unprecedented weakness. I wanted to throw away the sword in my hand and cry out loud, but I didn't cry. Instead, I raised the sword with blood flowing, accepting the cheers of the soldiers and the surrender of the enemy. "
Chen Rui held Catherine's hand. Tears flashed in Catherine's eyes, but her tone was still calm, "For me, they are my last siblings, but for the Shadow Empire, they are the source of turmoil. If I don't kill them and pacify the empire, more people's siblings will die because of this. I don't remember how many times I woke up crying in my dreams. I curled up alone, trembling in loneliness and pain, and I even wanted to give up my life. However, in the face of the throne that controlled the life and death of the entire Empire, I became a cold and emotionless empress again. On that throne, there were countless lives that passed through my hands, and many of them were actually innocent people. For the sake of the entire Empire, I had no choice. "
"Catherine …" Chen Rui held Catherine's hand tighter.
Catherine gently leaned on his shoulder, "I have hoped and fantasized more than once that my father was not poisoned by my eldest brother, that my brothers would not rebel for the throne, and that I am still the princess who is loved by my father and brothers and worshipped by my younger brother. I can no longer use a mask to hide my loneliness and fear. I can rely on a strong arm, hold his hand, and share each other's pain and happiness … "
"I understand what you mean." Chen Rui let go of his hand and gently hugged Catherine's waist. Some of her hopes could never be realized, but some had been realized. Because this was hope.
"We can suffer because of reality, but we can't lose hope." Tiffany also came to his side, "This is what you once said to me."
Hope.
In order to protect all hope, burn everything to fight.
This was the vow in his heart.
Whether it was sadness or decadence, this vow would not change.
Chen Rui nodded and held Tiffany's hand. Miss Long deliberately coughed behind him. Chen Rui and the two Empresses looked at each other and smiled. He turned around, opened his arms, and gave Rolla a hug.
Chen Rui looked at the people in the distance and felt the warmth wrapped around his heart. He felt confident and determined again.
"A stronger power that overrides everything …" Chen Rui took a deep breath and raised his head. It was as if there was a strange "eye" in the void that was looking at him.
