The sky was densely covered with red clouds, and thunder rumbled. Soon, heavy rain poured down.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Chen Rui fell into silence.
In the battle of the White Sea, although Ben Hong had caused the explosion of the Book of Creation and Book of Destruction at the cost of his life, he did not really destroy Quiriana.
Quiriana's strength was extremely terrifying. She had withstood the terrifying explosion at the last moment, taking away the Book of Creation and Book of Destruction. Of course, she and the other two rulers had also suffered unprecedented damage.
However, as long as the will of the abyss existed, the three of them would not die. It was only a matter of time before they recovered. This had been confirmed by Satan and Michael.
With the fusion of the Sacred Battle Heart given by Gabriel with her life force, Ben Hong had been reborn, but his body and strength had been greatly depleted. He was currently recuperating in the Star-Sealing Platform and would not be able to fight in the short term.
Other than Ben Hong, Chen Rui was the one with the most serious injury. He was also the one who recovered the fastest. The situation of the rest wasn't very optimistic. Michael had lost an arm and had now lost the support of the power of faith from the Holy Mountain of Light. In addition, Ben Hong's power of destruction was not to be underestimated. It would be difficult for him to regenerate in a short period of time. The Book of Destruction, which Satan had fused with his soul, was forcibly stripped away by Quiriana. The damage he suffered was even greater than Michael's. Rolla's injuries were relatively better. In the formation, Catherine, Augustus, Palgoris, and the others had all suffered varying degrees of damage from the explosion of the power of creation and destruction triggered by Quiriana's attack. Their strength was greatly reduced, and the weaker ones were even directly annihilated.
It could be said that the high-level experts on the side of the humans and Demons were temporarily unable to fight again. From the perspective of ordinary combat power, the White Sea, which was a natural moat, had incredibly turned into land under the power of destruction and creation. It could no longer exert its original geographical advantage. If the army of the abyss launched another attack, even the allied forces of the two realms would not be able to withstand it with only regular troops.
Chen Rui was silent for a moment, then he turned around and told everyone his plan.
"No!" Rolla and Isabella reacted the fastest. Before Chen Rui finished speaking, they had already spoken at the same time.
As it turned out, Chen Rui's plan was to take advantage of his weakness and kill him. Instead of retreating, he would launch a surprise attack on the Nightmare Volcano and annihilate the three injured Sovereigns. As for the spearhead of the surprise attack, it was naturally the strongest Chen Rui himself.
"If you want to go, I'll go with you!" Rolla added.
"It's not that I'm afraid of death, but this plan won't work." Satan shook his head. He was also a ruthless person. At that time, he had not hesitated to use the power of his bloodline to activate the Book of Destruction, wanting to take Quiriana down with him. Unfortunately, he had failed.
Michael, who had been sitting at the table in deep thought, also spoke up. "Indeed, it won't work. If it were an ordinary battle, a surprise attack under such circumstances would be able to play an unexpected role. However, the Nightmare Volcano is definitely not an ordinary place. It is the place where the will of the abyss descends. In that kind of environment, your strength will be greatly weakened by the suppression of the will. Even your opponent, Dillothro, may not be able to withstand it, let alone Sosbach and Quiriana. In the face of an absolute difference in strength, no matter how strong the strategy is, it will be useless. If you go there rashly, you will definitely die, and it will be a wasted sacrifice. "
Chen Rui frowned and asked, "What if I use the Supreme Key?"
As soon as this was said, Michael and Satan expressed their opposition in unison.
Michael sighed. "You don't understand what kind of existence it is. Based on the current situation, if you don't use it, this world may still have a chance of survival. If you use it, then there won't even be a trace of hope, unless …"
"Unless what?" Chen Rui asked. He still didn't understand what the Supreme Key was. He thought it was the most powerful artifact triggered by sacrificing himself, but from Quiriana, he knew that it was the key to open the seal of the Book of Life and Death. However, it seemed that this key was not as simple as he imagined. It seemed that after opening the seal of life and death, there would be terrible consequences of destroying everything. That was why Lucifer gave such an instruction.
So, what other functions does this Supreme Key have? Is it just to perish together with the enemy?
Faced with Chen Rui's question, the two old opponents, Michael and Satan, looked at each other and fell silent. Chen Rui knew that there must be some kind of taboo involved. He had witnessed the annihilation of the Earth Elemental King Moore, so he knew that some things were not deliberately kept in suspense, but were restricted by powerful rules or forbidden forces.
"I can only tell you this. If you use this thing, it will bring unpredictable consequences unless you can transcend everything." Satan said thoughtfully, then he emphasized, "Yes, it is' transcend '."
"Transcend?" Chen Rui carefully tasted the profound meaning of these two words, but he was still puzzled.
"It's not that I deliberately want to affect the morale," Ogulas interjected, "It's just that I think the hope of survival is very slim now. Now that we have lost the natural stronghold of Baihai, it is difficult for us to recover in a short time. If we just wait, the destruction of this world will be right in front of us."
Many people were silent. What Ogulas said was indeed the truth.
Catherine, who had been thinking, said, "Sir Michael, the 'glimmer of hope' you mentioned just now, does it mean something else?"
"You are indeed the wisest empress of the Demon Realm. Your observation is very keen." Michael nodded, "We do still have a glimmer of hope."
As soon as this was said, everyone's attention was focused. Michael looked at Chen Rui, "The last hope is him."
"Me?" Chen Rui was taken aback. If he wasn't on the same side as Michael now, he would think that Michael was deliberately praising him.
"It's you." Michael sighed, "I already know that you are not that person, but the potential you have is unfathomable and far beyond my understanding. The first time we fought was at the Holy Mountain of Light. At that time, you were still a tool used by Ben Hong, and your strength was only Demi-God. The second time we met was a few years later, still at the Holy Mountain of Light, but at that time, Ben Hong became your follower, and your strength had reached the peak of Pseudo-God. In a one-on-one fight, even I am not sure that I can defeat you. By the third time we met … You were already able to compete with me, Gabriel, and Raphael alone. Although you can't compete with Quiriana now, you are already superior to Dillothro! It is the first time I have seen such a terrifying speed of progress. I believe that you will be able to surpass Quiriana, and perhaps even go further and step into the door that we have been unable to cross … "
"I just …" Chen Rui smiled bitterly. He had never had any ambition to become a god. His greatest wish was to hold his beloved woman every day, watch his pair of precious children grow up, and enjoy life, family, and friendship.
Power was only for protection.
Satan nodded empathically at Michael's words and said, "It's just that Quiriana will not give him this chance to grow. We don't have enough time. "
"Opportunities can be fought for." Michael slowly stood up, "The same goes for time."
Satan frowned and suddenly thought of something. He understood, "You mean … to go to that place?"
"It's rare that our thoughts are so consistent." Michael smiled faintly, "This reminds me of the City of Angels back then …"
Michael didn't continue. Satan snorted coldly and didn't stay on this topic. He said, "Then, first of all, there is one thing that needs to be done immediately."
Rolla looked at the 2 of them talking in riddles, and she couldn't help but ask, "What?"
"Migration." Satan had already answered.
"Migration?" Isabella reacted immediately, "Could it be that the remaining humans and surface races … all migrate to the Demon Realm?"
"Yes." Michael looked at the heavy rain outside the window and sighed, "Now the human world can no longer defend. If the Abyss attacks again, it will definitely be impossible to resist. We can only give up the surface world and evacuate to the Demon Realm as soon as possible. Although Demons and humans have many years of enmity, facing the common enemy of the Abyss, we must let go of our hatred and fight side by side. In fact, your appearance here today is already a very definite answer. "
Everyone had personally experienced the Abyss War, and they nodded in unison. Michael said, "If you have no objections, Her Majesty Catherine, please contact the other 2 empresses and make arrangements as soon as possible."
Catherine smiled slightly, "Don't worry. In fact, when the Demon Realm sent troops to support for the first time, Chen Rui had already asked us to make the corresponding arrangements just in case."
"We forgot that we have the most powerful son-in-law of the Demon Realm here." Palgoris had the intention to ease the heavy atmosphere and smiled, "Unfortunately, I don't have a daughter. Oh, no … my only daughter has been abducted by him."
Palgoris was referring to Avril who entered the Galaxy Divinity Temple to become an "oracle", but Ogulas sneered on the side, "So what? My 2 daughters have already thrown themselves at him. Your daughter can only be a maid at most. "
Palgoris was a Saint-dragon, and he was born to be a rival of a black dragon like Ogulas. Although the 2 were in the same trench, they had never been friendly to each other. Palgoris was about to turn hostile, but suddenly, he was startled and showed a strange expression, "Wait a minute, are you sure your daughter married him?"
Of course, Ogulas knew that one of his daughters was a money-grubber while the other was a lesbian. They were simply freeloading from Chen Rui, but Olypheus had the title of fiancée no matter what, and they had even held an engagement ceremony, so he immediately said confidently, "Of course!"
Palgoris: "You have a daughter named Lalaria right?"
Ogulas: "How do you know?"
Palgoris: "She seduced many Dragons girls in Ryūzoku last time, saying that she wanted to bring them back as concubines …"
Ogulas: "…"
As the most powerful person among the Dragons, Rolla did not pay attention to the boring quarrel between the 2 Dragon Emperors. Instead, she raised a key question, "Even if we evacuate to the Demon Realm, the Abyss will still attack through the Gate of the Two Realms in Jinyao Territory. We won't be able to buy too much time."
Michael nodded and said, "So, a few of us must go to a place, and to enter that place, we need your power."
"What?" Rolla did not react for a while.
"Elemental plane!"
