The Abyss was a "cursed" existence.
Chen Rui had heard of this phrase before, but he had never heard of the latter phrase — supreme existence!
"God?" Chen Rui finally asked.
"Where there is creation, there is destruction. Where there is light, there is darkness." Michael didn't care about the sudden damage to his body. "Gods can have and represent the great power of faith, but they aren't truly perfect."
"You mean … looking at it from another perspective, they are just 'people' with god-level strength?" Chen Rui asked again.
Michael smiled calmly. "This analogy is very appropriate. Those who look down on the common people aren't without desires. On the contrary, their desires and power are directly proportional. Perhaps it is because of this that evil consequences are caused later … As for the Abyss, to be precise, it isn't a god, but a divinity, a divinity of darkness. "
Divinity of darkness? Chen Rui couldn't wrap his head around it. What did he mean?
As soon as Michael finished speaking, more blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth at the same time. The blood was mixed with a green aura of destruction. All the blood was quickly disintegrated and annihilated in the air.
"Wait a minute!" Sosbach's voice appeared in the left eye. Deep fear could be seen in the left eye.
Sosbach's calculations weren't wrong. He had accurately calculated Chen Rui, but he didn't calculate Michael.
"You must pay a high price to corrode my soul! Now, it's impossible for you to escape. "Michael's right eye revealed a proud look. At this moment, he was still that proud Archangel.
"Because of the curse, the negative soul has taken away a part of the divinity. This is the will of the Abyss. Destruction, hatred, fear, despair …" Before Chen Rui could ask, Michael had already said it to himself. When he said this, there was an explosive sound coming from his limbs. He couldn't stand up anymore and slowly sat on the ground.
"Curse?" Chen Rui was still confused. Who cursed the gods? Who could curse the gods?
"Everything begins with the War of the Gods." Michael sighed softly as if he was reminiscing about something. After revealing so many secrets, his body and soul had suffered unimaginable damage. However, he didn't care about it. He was just reminiscing.
"Battle of the Gods?" Chen Rui thought of a very familiar term, the Twilight of the Gods.
As far as he knew, there was a similar story in the myths of Earth in his previous life. It was like the war between the gods led by Odin and the giants in Norse mythology. Almost all the gods, including Odin and Thor, the God of Thunder, fell. In the end, the universe was destroyed and order was restored.
When he first came to the Demon Realm, Chen Rui also used the version of Havoc in Heaven to fool Aldas, Alice and others. With the improvement of his strength and knowledge level, he knew that this world really had the Twilight of the Gods. It should be an unimaginable destruction. The huge "corpses" in the mysterious place, the gods that had been missing for countless years …
"There are a total of two Battles of the Gods."
Michael's answer surprised Chen Rui. There are actually two?
As soon as Michael said this, the outline of his body suddenly blurred a little, and his power and breath weakened rapidly. Chen Rui suddenly realized, "Enough. That's enough."
As expected, these secrets were taboos imposed by special rules. They couldn't be expressed in any way. Otherwise, they would suffer terrible backlashes or punishments.
Soul damage, loss of power, and even loss of … life.
Seeing Michael's appearance, Chen Rui's heart surged with sadness, not only for Michael, but also for his former friend.
Michael shook his head. Ben Hong, who had been looking at him, said, "Let me say it."
Satan, who was next to Ben Hong, was taken aback and looked at Ben Hong in surprise.
Michael looked straight into Ben Hong's familiar silver and red pupils and shook his head slowly, "No need."
You don't need to repay anything. You don't owe me, but you owe Tessaniel.
What you need is, with her hope, to live.
Ben Hong and Michael looked at each other for a moment. Finally, they stopped insisting and became silent.
"Wait a minute! Or we can … "Sosbach's voice sounded a lot weaker, with obvious fear. He had been connected with Michael. He was also suffering the damage that Michael suffered. Facing the approaching threat of death, Sosbach was finally afraid.
"Don't you represent the supreme will that dominates fear? But now even you are afraid. Ridiculous … In the end, you are just the remnants of selfishness and cowardice. You shouldn't exist in this world! "
Michael sneered and looked back at Chen Rui. He said, "The first war of the gods was the war between the gods and the supreme being. In that war, the gods paid a huge price and finally destroyed the supreme will that dominated and enslaved them. However, they were also cursed by the supreme will. Part of their divinity was taken away, and they merged with the negative souls of darkness and became the will of the abyss. The supreme being was sealed."
Chen Rui finally understood. It turned out that the bloody body that was besieged by the "giants" in the "dream" was actually the supreme existence above the gods, or it could be called the Supreme God. The giants were the gods.
The bloody body was finally destroyed by the gods and turned into that "eye".
This made Chen Rui think of the succession of divine powers in Greek mythology. The Titans overthrew the rule of their father, the god of the sky, Uranus. However, the Titans were later defeated by their descendants, the Olympian gods led by Zeus.
"The first war of the gods didn't end. The gods were horrified to find that as the will of the abyss was destroyed, their power was also fading and dying. The divinity of darkness was like the twins of fate, tightly bound to them. If they destroyed themselves in the mirror, they would also be destroyed. "
Michael's words reminded Chen Rui of his previous experience in the strange mirror world. This was the choice that Alucier gave him. If he killed the people in the mirror world, the main body of this world would also disappear.
Since the gods destroying the will of the abyss was equivalent to suicide, then their final choice was …
"Banishment." Michael had already said the answer that Chen Rui guessed in his heart. "They banished the abyss to a space outside the main plane and sealed it. Then, they used their power to seal the entire main plane and completely isolated it. It was like a box that wrapped itself inside. In fact, although this box protected itself, it also imprisoned itself. "
Chen Rui nodded involuntarily, only to hear Michael continue. "After thinking that they had completely solved the disaster of the abyss, the gods began to enjoy that kind of high and mighty life of freedom. However, their desires were endless. After losing their common enemy, the conflict between the gods intensified due to the conflict of interests. In the end, they split into two camps, and once again started a war. If the purpose of the first war of the gods was' freedom, 'then the purpose of the second war of the gods was' desire. 'This was a terrible catastrophe that affected all living beings. Everything below the god level was cannon fodder. Just the pseudo-god level strength alone, countless people died in the war … Later, the gods also began to fall. Ironically, in the end, the one who ended all of this was just a small chess piece in their eyes … "
"Lucifer!" Chen Rui blurted out. In the illusion he saw, Lucifer used the Supreme Key formed by the seven artifacts to summon the "Eye" and destroy the gods. Was this the truth of the Twilight of the Gods?
What role did Lucifer play in the two wars of the gods? Why could he summon the "Eye"?
What was his relationship with the Elemental Goddess Lafferty?
What did the Book of Creation, Book of Destruction, and Book of Life and Death represent?
After the Twilight of the Gods, the gods fell. Why could the abyss continue to exist? What secret was there in it?
Although Michael had uncovered a shocking truth, many new questions had arisen.
"That's right. He was actually just a pitiful chess piece, shouldering a pitiful fate. He destroyed the gods not only for his own reasons, but also for the supreme …"
Michael's words came to an abrupt end. Chen Rui turned around and saw that the green in the pupil of the left eye had dissipated. Sosbach's soul had been annihilated, and Michael's entire body had also become thin.
This archangel had been holding on all this time, and now it was the final moment.
His power was indeed far inferior to a strong enemy like Sosbach, but he did not lose.
"I used to think that you were him, but you are not." Michael's voice became ethereal. These words were not taboo, so he could barely hold on for a moment. "You have to surpass him, surpass everything …"
Chen Rui said solemnly, "No matter how far I can go, I will remember you, as well as Gabriel and Raphael. You are all respectable opponents."
He did not say "friend" or "companion", but "opponent". This title was more suitable for the three angels.
In life, there would always be some things that would be missed, and there would always be some people that would be forgotten, but there would also be some people that would not be forgotten, whether they were lovers, friends, or … opponents.
Chen Rui's words caused a glimmer of light to flash past Michael's gradually dimming eyes. He nodded to himself, and then turned around to look deeply at Satan.
"So many years … We have been fighting for so many years."
Satan quietly looked at Michael, his lips moving, but he did not say anything. Suddenly, he turned around and left.
Michael did not look at Satan again. He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"Is there really another world?"
Chen Rui was slightly shocked. At the last moment of his life, Michael asked the same question as Gabriel.
"There is!"
Chen Rui forcefully said the answer.
As soon as his voice fell, Michael's body turned into countless golden specks of light and scattered.
On the distant mountain peak, Satan also raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the wind, the golden feather slowly floated away.
