In the arena, the cheers were loud.
Two battle teams were fiercely competing. The difference from the past was that one side was the human team and the other side was the Demons team. In the gradual integration into the life of the Demon Realm, humans gradually fell in love with the battle ball, a "new sport" that integrated individual confrontation and team cooperation.
Not only was it enjoyable and confrontational, but the most important thing was the tacit understanding which was also very important for the battle.
The humans had just been exposed to the battle ball, and they showed amazing comprehension in this aspect. However, compared with the experienced Demons team, there was still a big gap. In addition to the humans, the human team on the field also had elves, orcs, and ground Dragons. It was a veritable "multinational force". Despite their best efforts, the human team still fell behind with a big score of 1: 6, and they were only followed by one of the two league teams of the Dark Moon Estate, the Red Blood Team.
Although the score gap was relatively large and the scene was controlled by the Red Blood Team most of the time, the human team did not give up and still actively fought. The cheerleaders of the human world races on the stands showed the greatest enthusiasm and encouragement to their team as if they were the leading party.
In the end, the Red Blood Team easily won 11: 3. The audience did not leave because there was a second more exciting game next. The two sides were the Tulip Team of the Fallen Angel Capital and the Isidor Team of the Bloody Empire.
These two battle ball games were only the preliminary round of the battle ball in the Demon Realm Games. This Demon Realm Games was divided into two major events, the team event and the individual event. The team event included the battle ball and the virtual abyss battle. The latter was carried out in the magic game "Endless Warrior Online Abyss Edition", which would be broadcast live to the audience on magic TV. The previous bloody battle with the abyss had already shown that unless one reached the peak level of strength, the role of individual force in this kind of war was very limited. One must rely on the cooperation of the team.
The concept of "eSports" had been prevalent in the entire Demon Realm as early as the 3 empires City Alliance. This was also related to the characteristics of "Endless Warrior Online" itself. If a game enthusiast transmigrated here, he would definitely exclaim, "This is our ideal hometown." Because "playing" the game "well" in the Demon Realm was definitely not a proper job, but an enviable star. He would also be valued by the country and be recruited into the academy or advanced combat legion.
The new third general of the Shadow Empire, Neo, was a perfect example of a successful player in the game of magic. Neo's commanding ability during the battle of the White Sea on the surface world had caught everyone's attention. Even famous generals like George and Gerant were full of praise for his commanding ability.
Everyone knew that the calamity of the Abyss had not truly ended yet. People had to learn to overcome their fear and bravely face these terrifying enemies, fighting to the end. This was the main theme of this virtual competition, and it was supported by all the races.
Individual events included archery, construction puppets, and unrestricted combat. There were also aspects of e-sports. For example, archery wasn't as simple as shooting arrows at a target. One of the events was to kill or snipe a certain number of abyssal monsters within a set amount of time while escaping unscathed.
In addition to virtual competition, there was also real puppet control. As for combat, it was always the most attractive event. Different from the past, this time it was divided into two groups: super level and normal strength. The two Dragon Emperors of the surface world and the Demon Realm Dragons would be in the super level group and accept the challenge of the final winner.
This was the first "Great Games" of the Demon Realm. There was no race and no limit on the number of people (there was a corresponding elimination round in the game of magic. Everyone could sign up. As long as they reached the standard, they would be qualified to participate in the main competition). It caused a craze in the entire Demon Realm. The significance was equally extraordinary – all races united and became stronger through training to fight against the common enemy.
In fact, many people, especially the high-level powerhouses, were very clear that strengthening the body was only the foundation. It was to strengthen the ability to survive against the Abyss army. What really determined the outcome of the entire war was the peak duel of the highest level.
In the previous battle with the Abyss, the coalition army suffered a heavy loss of peak fake gods. The three strongest angels of the surface world were all dead. Raquel died in the hands of Sosbach, and Satan's strength was greatly damaged.
Although two of the three lords of the Abyss were annihilated, the will of "fear" and "despair" did not really disappear. As long as there was time, a new lord would appear. Taking a step back, even if there was only Quiriana left, the Demon Realm would not be able to defeat her. If Quiriana did not come during the battle of the Starlight Fortress because she had not recovered from her internal injuries, the outcome would probably be different now.
Currently, only three people who could fight against the lord of the Abyss were Chen Rui, Rolla, and Ben Hong.
Ben Hong was a veteran peak powerhouse of the same generation as the three angels and Satan. He had experienced two battles of gods, so his strength was unquestionable. Rolla had inherited the Divine Spark of the Elemental Goddess and was the Great Elemental Envoy of the Elemental Realm. Her future was limitless. However, everyone knew that Chen Rui was the biggest hope.
The vast Milky Way shone with dazzling radiance.
Chen Rui was quietly looking at the galaxy in front of him. In his pupils, images appeared one after another. These images included the real experience of his battle with the three lords of the Abyss, as well as the simulation of the battle in his consciousness.
In the simulation of the battle in his consciousness, his opponent was the strongest Quiriana. During this period, he had been training hard in the training ground almost day and night. His strength had improved a lot compared to the battle in the Abyss. However, even if he tried his best and completely fused with the God of Stars mirror at the cost of burning his life (referred to as "Burning Stars"), he could only barely defeat Quiriana's first Abyss Transformation. Once she used the second transformation, he would definitely be the one to lose.
Chen Rui felt that his current strength had reached a bottleneck. Burning his life to fuse with the God of Stars mirror was already his strongest state. Even a small step forward was extremely difficult. Besides, he did not know if Quiriana had other trump cards.
Did he really have to use the Supreme Key?
He now understood that the Supreme Key's purpose was to summon the power of the sealed "supreme existence". The appearance of this power could destroy the gods, and it was very likely to destroy everything. It might even bring about unpredictable and terrible consequences. That was why Lucifer had given him such an instruction. Michael also said that if he did not use the Supreme Key, there would still be a glimmer of hope. If he used it, there would be no hope at all.
If that was the case, then what was the point of Lucifer giving him this Supreme Key? Wouldn't it be more effective to disassemble it into the seven artifacts to increase his actual combat strength?
However, Chen Rui also understood that no matter how strong the seven artifacts were, they were still external objects. During the period when he had just lost the seven artifacts, he indeed felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, he was secretly vigilant. He used to rely too much on these artifacts. Once he lost them, not only his strength, but he also felt that his confidence in battle was somewhat lacking.
Only the power that belonged to him was the most real and reliable existence.
It was precisely because he had overcome this discomfort that his strength had once again increased by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time. From not being a match for the three Abyss Dominators at all, he was now able to go head-to-head with Quiriana.
However, he was only barely able to go head-to-head with her. He could not truly "surpass" her.
Michael, Ben Hong, and Satan had all said that only "surpassing" was the only way to defeat the Abyss. Chen Rui was not sure what the true meaning of "surpassing" was, but he could not even do something as simple as "defeating" her at the moment.
Seeing that "himself" was about to be completely destroyed by "Quiriana," Chen Rui stopped the deduction of this battle of consciousness. As he had to go all out to fight against Quiriana, he had used the power of "Burning Stars". Even though it was just a deduction, it still consumed a considerable amount of life force.
Right now, Chen Rui only had less than one-fifth of his life force left. With his level of strength and the life that Paglio had shared back then, under normal circumstances, his life force would probably be close to limitless. With such a consumption, one could imagine the intensity of cultivation and deduction.
Burning Life Force was not simply for the sake of increasing one's strength, but to infinitely approach the ultimate level. If one could touch the edge of that power, perhaps they could truly "surpass".
Chen Rui rested for a while and left the training ground. When he returned to the Galaxy Divinity Temple, he happened to see Veronica holding Avril's hand and talking. As soon as she saw him, Avril, who was still talking, immediately became shy and bowed to him from afar.
Chen Rui knew the little girl's personality and did not mind. He patted her head. Avril did not dodge, but she seemed a little nervous. After saying that she was going to check the temple, she disappeared in front of the Tower of Faith.
"You won't even let such a young girl go?" Veronica said with a smile.
"You think too highly of me." Chen Rui shrugged and stepped forward to hold Veronica's hand. "As a victim who has been coveted by a female teacher since she was a child in the academy, I strongly object to you substituting your own hobbies for me."
Veronica rolled her eyes at him. "In the end, the female teacher was kidnapped by that young man."
"This is one of the few achievements I am proud of." Chen Rui smiled and kissed her face. "It is also one of the most fortunate things."
"Me too." Veronica revealed a gentle expression and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do about Ben Hong?"
"Her?" Chen Rui was stunned. "What can I do?"
"She followed you through fire and water and even fought for you without hesitation. Although she didn't come here much before, I could feel her loneliness. Some time ago, I heard from Inni that Ben Hong got Gabriel's power. His physique has changed now. Although it is not a complete light attribute body, it is no longer a dark attribute or a lamp spirit's body. At that time, I was thinking that maybe Ben Hong can let Duoduo and Doudou have another younger brother or sister. "
Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "I really didn't think about this."
"Then your relationship with Ben Hong, exactly …" Before Veronica finished speaking, she was suddenly taken aback. She turned around and saw Ben Hong's figure appearing behind her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to listen to you guys …" Ben Hong's face was still indifferent, but his eyes were evasive for a moment, but he quickly regained his solemnity. He said to Chen Rui, "Something big happened! Go outside and take a look! "
Chen Rui rarely saw Ben Hong's solemnity, so he knew that it must be serious. He quickly withdrew from the Galaxy Divinity Temple, and his consciousness returned to the Dark Moon's residence. Walking out of the house, he saw Rolla, Ben Hong, Palgoris, Ogulas and others gathered in the yard. Everyone only had one action, which was to look up at the sky.
He saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds. Chen Rui instinctively felt that the dark clouds were not simple. They exuded the most original aura of power. Just a glance at them made him feel like a heavy mountain was pressing down on his heart. The dark clouds were endless, covering the entire sky of the Demon Realm.
"Dad, where is the moon?" Duoduo looked at the dark clouds curiously and asked.
"I don't know." Chen Rui shook his head, but he had a hunch in his heart that the 2 moons shrouded in dark clouds might never appear.
