Dark Moon City, northeast neighborhood.
The newly built sheriff's house was finally completed. It was also a real home for Chen Rui in the Dark Moon, but Athena didn't have the slightest joy of moving to a new house. She just quietly looked at Chen Rui who was lying on the bed.
A month had passed. Even the Demons couldn't survive without eating and drinking, but Chen Rui, the human, was in a coma for a month. The evil voodoo that Isabella cast on him had long been shattered due to the burst of soul power.
There was no drip in the Demon Realm, but there were some similar means. For example, the tentacles in Chen Rui's body originated from some kind of blood-sucking Demon Realm plant. After being modified by Paglio with special means, blood-sucking became blood-letting. It became a "transfusion device" that provided nutrients to maintain life.
According to Paglio, as long as the nutrients of the Demon Realm plant were continuously provided, Chen Rui could sleep for thousands or even tens of thousands of years until he woke up.
Thousands or tens of thousands of years? Athena wasn't a Dragons. If she really slept for so long, her life would probably end before he woke up.
Athena didn't think too much because she was Athena.
This man was by her side. Even if she couldn't say a word or wake up from his sleep, as long as she could stay by his side, it was a kind of happiness; even if her life couldn't extend to see his gentle smile, as long as she could stay by his side and stare at his sleeping face, it was enough.
He and I are not alone. Athena suddenly showed a strange smile. If one day his soul left this world, then he would still not be alone.
Delia next to her wanted to persuade her friend who stayed by his bed all day, but when she saw this smile, she didn't speak again. Everyone had their own persistence. She understood Athena very well.
In the newly built sheriff's house, Paglio and Lomont still drank and played chess every day. Occasionally, Lomont would say, "That guy won't die. He can still cause trouble for thousands of years." However, the atmosphere was much more depressing than before. Paglio's words were obviously less, and he buried his head in drinking more. Logically speaking, the time limit of the Great Grandmaster's "Star Conversion" power that Chen Rui had originally expected should be up, but for some reason, there was still no movement until now.
Jía in the palace also had a heavy heart. She didn't have the same mentality as Athena. To be precise, she couldn't stay with the man who needed protection the most like Athena. She still had the entire territory and the vow she made in front of her father before he died. She had to abandon some things and maintain her iceberg-like indifference and calmness. However, the people around her all felt that Princess Royal Highness often seemed restless. Sometimes, she would even lose control of her anger. It seemed that the capital's sanctions really made Princess Royal uneasy.
Only Old Gauss, who watched Jía grow up since she was a child, noticed some clues. Princess Royal's heart was in a mess.
In contrast, the other princess of the Dark Moon showed unexpected strength. The little loli seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden. The business of the Princess Retail Store didn't become decadent because of this, and the original branch store was successfully opened and operated.
Alice firmly believed in one thing, brother will definitely wake up! Because he promised to make a more beautiful big cake for Alice on her birthday next year!
In fact, the little loli didn't completely forget the drunken incident that day. She also selectively remembered some key sentences. She was indeed worthy of the Lucifer Royal Family with many "special abilities".
It was just that Chen Rui's current situation wasn't very good.
Shura's voice sounded, "The previous scene was lascivious enough. In your dark inner world, there was actually such a strong desire. Everything that you once had thoughts or impressions in your heart, not only in this plane, but also in another world. Even the women in movies or fantasies were possessed by you countless times. Isn't this feeling wonderful? In fact, it wasn't an illusion that I cast, but your real inner reaction! "
Chen Rui didn't speak. He just stared at Shura fiercely. His bloodshot red eyes flashed with a murderous intention.
"Want to kill me?" Shura grinned, "Power comes from desire. Under the drive of various desires, your current power is already very strong. I admit that I'm not your opponent, but why don't I dare to make a move?"
"Want me to sink further?" Chen Rui gritted his teeth, "These dark illusions are nothing more than to make my fighting spirit collapse. I won't be moved by your words. I will persist until the end and destroy you. "
"Don't you understand?" Shura sighed, "I'm actually you. The desire in the bottom of a person's heart is endless. The so-called inner demon is born from everyone's desire. It's just like the names of the seven royal families of the Demon Realm. Arrogance, lust, greed, rage … These are called the seven original sins by another world. They originally exist in everyone's heart. You can't kill me."
Chen Rui yelled and slashed with [Aura Blade]. Shura floated away, but his arm was still cut off by the aftermath of the blade qi. He laughed, "Even the so-called cultivators and cultivators can't avoid the birth of inner demons. So what if you want to train your mind? The more you train your mind, the more you will feel the dark side in your heart! You're just escaping these dark sides that can't be changed by killing me. Every time you kill me, your power will increase a little, and you will sink further! "
Chen Rui suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, "Shut up! I will never give up resistance! Even if you're a Demon Overlord-level soul, there will be a day when you're exhausted! "
"Demon Overlord-level? Do you think I'm just a humble thing derived from Glorfin's soul consciousness? "Shura sneered disdainfully," Demon Overlord is nothing. You're just an ant! The power I have is enough for you to rule the entire plane in the future! Whether it's the Demon Realm or the human world, they have to surrender and tremble under your feet! Power decides everything! By then, you can marry any woman you want and as many women as you want! "
Shura's words surprised Chen Rui, "What are you?"
"I don't know either. I was originally just a trace of energy that was about to disappear. I gained strength and consciousness from your dark inner world and became the inner demon that you understand."
Energy that is about to disappear? What is that? Chen Rui was puzzled for a while: When Shura said that, he also felt strange. The previous Shura didn't seem to have this independent consciousness. This "before" seems to be … before I went to the Silent Night Wetland?
"It's meaningless to explore my origin now. You only need to know one thing. As long as you give up resistance, choose to merge with me and obey the heart of darkness that is covered by the so-called light, you will obtain a truly powerful will and power that is superior to the entire life!"
Shura's voice was suddenly full of strong temptation, "You can at least obtain the power of Demi-God, and you can have the opportunity to become a god. As long as you become a god, you can grant eternal life to the woman you love and your partner. You can also be free and live any life you want."
Demi-God? God? Chen Rui only felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and he involuntarily walked toward Shura. Just when Shura showed a proud smile, suddenly a sword light flashed and his entire body was split into two from the top to the crotch.
"I won't believe you!"
"You actually still have such a firm will until now. You are worthy of being my chosen one." Two pieces of Shura let out a creepy double laughter, "Unfortunately, as long as the darkness in your heart exists, I can never be truly killed. Look straight into your heart. You can't always escape. When one day, you can no longer escape … "
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned into ashes.
Chen Rui returned to the void again. He looked extremely tired. Shura's words just now still resounded in his ears. As long as the darkness in your heart exists, I can never be truly killed.
Perhaps the inner demon was right. The more I train my mind, the more I will feel the dark side in my heart. Killing is more of an escape. Accepting the fusion and obeying the heart of darkness will lose myself. Killing the inner demon will also cause me to sink step by step. What should I do?
Time flowed like water. Another month had passed.
In the past two months, the Dark Moon City had changed a lot. With the efforts of Princess Royal Jía and the "help" of the Mellon Family, although the food aid of the Red Spirit Estate was reduced, the large-scale famine that the Dark Moon people were most worried about did not happen. It seemed that it was right to follow Princess Royal.
The Dark Moon City's night market had been on the right track. It was extremely popular. Many families began to covet this fat meat. According to Chen Rui's previous plan, Jía divided the Dark Moon's night market into two major areas, east and west, and centralized management. The original desolate and abandoned scene in the area was swept away. Merchants began to refurbish their shops and settle in. Even the business along the way was driven. The number of merchants coming and going from the West Road to the Dark Moon was also gradually increasing, but the number was still quite sporadic. In general, it was a good start.
Even under the sanctions imposed by the Imperial Capital, the tax revenue of businesses had actually doubled.
A few months of special training made the garrison led by Athena look completely new. Their energetic appearance was completely different from the previous laziness. With the cooperation of the garrison and the Cloak Gang, not only in the Dark Moon City, but also in other areas of the territory, the bandits and illegal incidents were gradually decreasing. In contrast, the arena was more lively than before. It had become a place for many people to vent their excess energy and exuberant fighting spirit.
It was impossible for the capital not to know these very gratifying changes for the Dark Moon. According to Chen Rui's plan, a key move should be officially implemented. However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The initiator of all the calculations, but he didn't expect that he would be in a coma for two months.
Chen Rui was still asleep. If it weren't for the bloodsucking plant modified by Paglio, he would have died due to exhaustion of energy. However, he was not much different from death now. His breath of life was even weaker, and he was in danger of annihilation at any time.
In fact, his consciousness was indeed about to be annihilated.
Shura.
It was still the same Shura, but it was not just one, but thousands of them. From all directions, they surrounded the panting Chen Rui.
"I must praise you for being able to fight to this point. It's just that no matter how strong your toughness and wisdom are, you can't escape the world of your heart. Now, you finally can't escape! " Shura laughed, "You are about to become one of us. As long as I integrate your last consciousness, then my soul will be perfect. Everything about you will belong to me!"
Shura didn't kill for nothing. Every time he killed, his and Shura's power was growing. After killing countless times, the opponent began to undergo a terrifying evolution. He actually mastered the power of clones. Subsequently, the number and power of the clones grew almost limitlessly. Moreover, they could devour his consciousness through attacks.
After a series of hard battles, he only had this last bit of consciousness left, but he fell into a heavy siege.
There was no doubt that this was a dead end.
"These days, I've been thinking about one thing." Chen Rui saw Shura approaching step by step and sighed, "Since it has come to this point, let me use my last heart to find the answer."
Shura's encirclement gradually became smaller. Chen Rui's state of mind became calm. He suddenly thought of a movie he had watched before, "The Matrix Revolutions". The "virus" Smith who could replicate infinitely was similar to Shura in front of him. If I'm really the protagonist, then … halo, please appear quickly.
Success or failure depends on this gamble!
Early in the morning, in the room, the tired Athena suddenly felt an abnormal breath. Her hazy eyes suddenly opened. With her current strength of the peak stage of Demon King, she could naturally feel that the breath on Chen Rui's body was already on the verge of collapse.
"Paglio!" Athena's heart suddenly tightened. Her voice sounded with a sobbing tone, "Come quickly!"
A breeze passed by, and Paglio had already appeared in the room. With the sharpness of the poison dragon's eyes, he saw that Chen Rui's situation was not good at a glance, "How did this happen?"
Originally, he still had some preparations in case Chen Rui lost himself and tried to activate his original consciousness again. Unexpectedly, the situation was earlier than expected. His life was actually about to end. Chen Rui fainted without the slightest sign, and he didn't even have time to exchange the resurrection potion.
Athena shook her head desperately, "I don't know. It suddenly became like this. You have to save him!"
The poison dragon cast several secret methods in a row, but he couldn't save Chen Rui's life that was about to collapse. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's over …"
The 2 had a symbiotic contract relationship. If Chen Rui died, Paglio would definitely not survive.
In the space of consciousness, the empty space changed back to the long-lost star galaxy. It was beautiful and quiet. Thousands of Shura were suspended in the void, laughing in unison. Now, he finally completely occupied Chen Rui's consciousness. This body and those strange powers belonged to him!
The strange thing was that Shura couldn't go to the Galaxy Divinity Temple with his consciousness, and he couldn't feel the true power contained in the galaxy.
"Why!" Countless Shura asked loudly in unison, "All of this should belong to me!"
After a while, the answer sounded, "Because you haven't really defeated me yet."
In the void, a familiar figure gradually condensed and formed.
"Chen Rui! You're actually not annihilated! " Shura's voice was surprised. Seeing Chen Rui's blood-red eyes, he immediately regained his gloominess, "There's not much of your consciousness left. As long as you are integrated in this place, then I will become the true master of the Super System!"
"It's too late because I've already understood." The blood-red in Chen Rui's eyes gradually faded, and his eyes returned to their previous clarity, "You're about to fail!"
Shura sneered disdainfully, "You're boasting shamelessly!"
"Actually, what you said before was right. You magnified the darkness in my inner world. The more I train my mind, the more I feel my dark side. Out of instinctive fear, I'm escaping. Therefore, even if I kill you again and again, you can always resurrect and strengthen endlessly."
Shura shouted, "Yes, you can't defeat me! Don't make meaningless resistance! "
As he said, thousands of Shura released < Aurora Shot > at the same time. They attacked Chen Rui from all directions like hail, but they passed through his body unscathed.
"Now that I can truly face my heart, your attack will only enhance my strength." Chen Rui shook his head, "A person has desires from the beginning of his birth. Desires have been burning life until the end. Desires are also the driving force for civilization to move forward. Even powerful people and saints have desires. Just like the difference between day and night, people have a dark side and a positive side. As long as you can control your will and your persistence, then the flame of desire will play a role in forging and refining instead of burning and sinking. "
Thousands of Shura roared and surrounded Chen Rui, but their bodies could only pass through. Every time they passed through Chen Rui's body, Shura's body would melt quickly like ice and snow touching a high-temperature flame. Shura screamed continuously.
At this time, Chen Rui's palm showed a faint brilliance, and he slashed down with all his strength.
Not to Shura, but to himself!
Under < Aura Blade >, the blood mark between Chen Rui's eyebrows gradually expanded.
At the same time, thousands of Shura screamed in pain. More exaggerated cracks appeared on the top of their heads, and there was a faint light coming through. They howled, "How is it possible! Even if you commit suicide, you may hurt me! "
"The power of the heart is infinite. As long as you have persistence, you can be above everything." Chen Rui didn't care about the more and more blood flowing from the top of his head, "Whether it is the darkness in the heart or the instinct, it will be controlled by my will. This is not called suicide, it is called cutting down! To be precise, this is the real refining of the heart! "
Shura cried in horror, "No! Impossible! I will not be really destroyed! As long as your heart … "
In the screams, thousands of Shura's body emitted a lot of white light, and they began to crack inch by inch. Finally, they turned into particles and completely shattered and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Rui's body began to thin and collapse, but his eyes were still firm. Just like what Shura said, as long as the darkness in the heart still existed, Shura would recover one day. But Chen Rui firmly believed that he could use the blade in his hand to cut down the heart devil again.
His body had been completely annihilated and turned into a pool of ashes.
At this time, on the Galaxy Divinity Temple's Star Conversion progress table, the Experience Value had climbed to 100%, and a crisp "ding dong" sound was heard.
Similarly, the Experience Value in the status bar had also reached 100%.
The pile of ashes that was about to disappear started to burn with a whoosh.
Black flames.
