Seeing Chen Rui's surprised look, Nero said coldly, "I have been in the Demon Realm for 10 years. I remember that 10 years ago, the Kavagt Family was still very prosperous, and their financial resources were enough to shake half of the human world. Could it be that in just 10 years, the top business family of Long Huang has fallen so much? Or are you not the heir of the Kavagt Family at all? This matter is a scam from the beginning to the end? "
This sentence should have been a blow, but Chen Rui did not have any special reaction. He knew that the Demon Overlord-level powerhouse's perception of everything in the world had reached a very subtle level, so he had calmed down after the previous surprise.
With the state of mind that Chen Rui cultivated when he was training [Refined Mind], even if the opponent was a Demon Overlord-level powerhouse, it was difficult to see through. Moreover, he had faced powerhouses like Manu and Jacob before this, so his strength should be above Nero. Therefore, facing Nero's coercive questioning, Chen Rui looked as usual without any panic.
"Dear royal family, there is no need to explain my identity." Chen Rui bowed slightly, "As for the Kavagt Family … There is a saying that the world is unpredictable. Never mind 10 years ago, even 1 year ago, no one thought that it would become like this. My family was sanctioned by the Second Prince Garfield, and Rex The Great was also deceived, so … "
"So … you are reduced to coming to the demons for help?" Nero continued with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Chen Rui came here in the name of Prince Obsidian's summons, but it was Nero, the human, who appeared here now. Although the [Analytical Eyes] did not feel Obsidian's existence, Chen Rui had every reason to believe that Obsidian was watching every move in the hall in some way. This should be the most important test.
"Demon?" Chen Rui resisted the pressure from Nero while trying to remain calm, "It seems that I am not the first human to come to the Demon World. Even sir came here as early as 10 years ago. In a sense, the nature of our behavior is the same, but what you seek is power, and what I seek is urgently needed financial support. "
"Also … the word 'demon' isn't appropriate." Chen Rui then said, "In the ancient books of humans, the demons are described as a terrifying and desolate Abyss World, inhabited by a group of cruel, cunning, and man-eating demons. In fact, those in the know knew that Demons had their own civilization and traditions. Compared to humans, the only difference was their appearance. As for cannibalism … it was undeniable that some Demons did have a taste for blood, but most of them weren't like that. If one had to compare them, humans were more cruel and cunning when it came to killing their own kind. They would eat humans without even spitting out the bones. I believe His Excellency Nero knows this better than I do. "
Nero sneered and said, "I only know one thing. As long as a small part of this speech is made public, the Kaint Family will be completely annihilated."
"But you can't deny that I'm telling the truth, can you? However, on some occasions, I will completely reverse what I just said. With the power of Sir Nero, it is not worthwhile to use despicable means such as recording stone on a weak person like me. "
"You are quite courageous. Maybe you are really the heir of the Kaint Family." The evil vibe around Nero had turned into a murderous aura, "Then, as the royal family of the Rayo Empire, I will naturally not let the top business family of the Long Huang Empire have a chance to revive. So, you can't leave here alive today!"
Chen Rui felt the murderous intent. It was not a bluff. He shouted, "Sir Nero! This is the Demon Realm, not the Rayo Empire! I came to cooperate with Regent Royal Highness Obsidian with sincerity and huge benefits. You have no right to kill me! "
"Strength is power." The terrifying oppression of Nero had wrapped Chen Rui, "Your so-called huge benefits are just wealth, and strength cannot be bought by wealth. For Prince Obsidian or the entire Fallen Angel Empire, the help of a real Saint powerhouse is far more than what you can give them!"
Chen Rui cursed in his heart. I thought I could use the relationship of Nero, my "fellow countryman" to gain Obsidian's trust, but I didn't expect my "fellow countryman" to be the King of Hell.
"You are wrong! The benefits I bring are definitely not just wealth! It is the real power that can be grasped in the hands of the collaborator! Unimaginable power! "Chen Rui yelled. His voice resounded throughout the hall, trying to attract Obsidian's attention.
"It's useless to use flowery words. You can only blame your bad luck for encountering the Heber Royal Family. Moreover, if I kill you in the Demon Realm, your family will only think that you were killed by the Demons! "
Nero saw his intention, and he stopped talking nonsense. A dazzling light appeared in his hand. Although Nero's power was far inferior to the Demon Overlords of the Demons that Chen Rui had seen, even if he was just promoted to Demon Overlord, he was an unrivaled existence for Chen Rui who had not even reached the Demon Emperor realm.
With the gap in strength between the 2 sides, Chen Rui might not be able to hold on for a few seconds. The most terrible thing was that the life-saving weapons like the God-Eating Mask or the Demon Shield couldn't be exposed. Once exposed, the whole plan would be in vain, so there was only one way left now: escape. Although it was a pity to be forced to give up at the last step of the plan, if he lost his life, then there was nothing left.
The light in Nero's hand burst out suddenly. Like the ray of the evil eye, it shot at Chen Rui like lightning. However, Nero frowned, and the ray in his hand shot in another direction again, followed by another one.
The third ray hit a blue round cover. Unfortunately, the round cover only lasted for 2 seconds before it was shattered by the terrifying destructive power contained in the ray. The aftermath of the ray hit the target solidly.
Chen Rui didn't expect Nero's reaction to be so fast. His 2 teleportation were judged immediately. For the third time, he could no longer teleport, so he could only resist with the protective shield. However, he still couldn't block it. He didn't even have the time to activate the [Star Gate] before he was hit by the terrifying destructive light.
However, after the light penetrated Chen Rui, it actually became several times weaker as if most of the power in the light was absorbed.
Nero's expression changed. Chen Rui felt that a considerable part of the destructive power of the light was transformed into his own power. He knew that it was because of the [Body of Light Blessing], so he didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately activated the [Star Gate]. As he was about to enter, a huge force suddenly came from behind with a terrifying flame power.
Before Chen Rui had time to enter the [Star Gate], he was blasted away. He felt that his internal organs seemed to be reversed. If it weren't for the characteristics of < Damage Absorption > and < Astral Form >, this terrifying blow would probably kill him.
Immediately afterward, the dazzling light appeared again. This time, most of it was also absorbed by Chen Rui's body, but the shock of the remaining force still aggravated his internal injuries. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"[Body of Light Blessing]!" Nero's body instantly appeared in front of the [Star Gate], and he was moved. "Who are you!?"
Chen Rui slowly got up. The strength gap between the 2 sides was too big, and the [Star Gate] had already been exposed. Even if he activated [Scorching Dragon Possession] or other mystical abilities, it would be difficult to escape successfully.
At this moment, another person's information prompt appeared in < Analytical Eyes >.
Race: Pride Royal Family (mutated).
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to judge.
Although I don't feel anyone's breath, < Analytical Eyes > will not be wrong. This Demon Overlord-level Pride Royal Family must be Obsidian! Chen Rui's heart moved, and he began to think quickly. It was already the most critical juncture. Success or failure, life or death, depended on this fight.
"If I can choose, I'd rather not have this damn [Body of Light Blessing] …" Chen Rui couldn't care about his serious injuries. He coughed blood and got up. There was a sneer on his face, but it was more like he was talking to himself, "Don't worry, although this body has a blood connection with that man, even if that man knows that I died in your hands, he won't take it to heart. Because … I'm just an illegitimate son who can't be revealed. "
These words made Nero even more shocked. Even in the royal families of the 2 Holy Empires, the [Body of Light Blessing] is extremely rare. It can only be born in the purest royal bloodline. In other words, the "man" Charles mentioned is probably the current King Roland, Rex The Great!
The heir of the top business family of the Long Huang Empire is actually the biological son of Rex The Great! This "secret" shocked Nero. So who is the mother of "Charles"? Is the woman who can give birth to the [Body of Light Blessing] also a member of the royal family? Why does having the [Body of Light Blessing] make me an illegitimate son who can't be revealed?
Nero himself was also a member of the royal family. He naturally knew that the more wealthy and noble the aura, the more ugliness was hidden. Especially some absurd scandals in the royal family, which could be described as "outrageous". However, what Nero cared about now was not these gossip scandals, but the blood connection that "Charles" said. Although he didn't know how magical this blood connection was, this was a kind of talent unique to the Roland Royal Family. It was by no means a fraud.
Once Rex The Great knew that his son died in his hands, perhaps he would not really be as indifferent as "Charles" thought. Even if it would not cause a dispute between the 2 empires on the surface, with Rex The Great's strength and character, he would also launch terrifying revenge in the dark. Nero had only recently successfully broken through to the real Saint (early stage of the Demon Overlord). He was far from being able to compete with a veteran Saint powerhouse like Rex. Moreover, the powerhouses of the Long Huang Empire were not only Rex The Great alone.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Demon Realm?" Nero weighed it again and again and asked. This question was more like asking for Obsidian. Even if this Charles is going to die, he can't die in my hands.
Chen Rui could feel that Nero's murderous intention was restrained, and the sarcasm on his face was even stronger, "No matter whose son I am, I am currently the heir of the Ktribut Family. I came to the Demon Realm to find a partner. "
"That simple?"
"Isn't it simple enough? I am also the biological son of that man, but I don't have the qualification to compete for inheriting the empire. Even so, Garfield refuses to let me go. He wants to put me and the entire Ktribut Family to death! " Chen Rui's emotions seemed to be agitated. Originally, this was just a backup plot just in case, but now the situation changed too quickly, so it could only be played as the main show.
Nero disagreed. This kind of dispute was common in the royal family. Fratricidal fighting for power was nothing new in human history.
"I'm not reconciled! I have the [Body of Light Blessing], but I can only practice earth magic! I have the power and talent beyond those princes, but I can only become a servant crawling under their feet! "" Charles "clenched his fists," I not only want to get through the difficulties, but I also want to truly turn the tables! Not only do I want to bring down Garfield, but I also want to bring down everyone, including the superior man! I want to let him know who is the best heir and who can truly inherit the entire Dragon Emperor Empire! "
"Even if you can achieve your wish and ascend to the throne of the Long Huang Empire, as long as the matter of you asking for help from the Demon Realm is exposed, you will still be discredited and will not be tolerated by future generations."
Nero poured a bucket of cold water on Chen Rui's head, but he was secretly calculating in his heart. If I can make the Long Huang Empire busy with internal strife, no matter who the final winner is, it will be beneficial and harmless for the Rayo Empire. Now his thoughts about Chen Rui had changed. It was not "I can't kill him with my own hands", but "I can't kill him." Of course, the most convincing thing was the [Body of Light Blessing].
Ordinary royal families, even Nero himself, do not have this special physique. This "Charles" must be a direct descendant of the Long Huang Empire, but according to his age, when Nero left the human world 10 years ago, he did not hear that Long Huang had such a prince. It seemed that his "life experience" should be true.
"As you said yourself, strength is power." Chen Rui drank a bottle of healing potion and sneered, "History is written by the victors. As long as I become the final winner, I have the final say whether I ask for help from the Demon Realm or collude with the Demons."
Nero stared at him for a while without speaking. He secretly thought about how to use this unexpected opportunity to … blackmail? Control?
At this time, a voice finally came from behind, "History is written by the victors. I agree with this sentence. However, what I want to know more is how do you turn the tables by relying on a precarious business family? What do you use to bring down those opponents? What do you mean by 'unimaginable' power can my Fallen Angel Empire get? "
Chen Rui's eyes moved slightly. The main character has finally appeared.
When he turned his head, he saw a person not far behind. This person was burly, blond, bearded, and had deep facial features. His eyes were full of spirit, and there was an oppressive momentum between his eyebrows. He was the current supreme ruler of the Fallen Angel Empire, Regent Obsidian.
The phrase "my Fallen Angel Empire" unabashedly showed his strong possessiveness and ambition.
"This should be Royal Highness Obsidian." Chen Rui tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and saluted, "First of all, please forgive me, Your Highness. If it weren't for Sir Nero who directly killed me without giving me a chance to see Your Highness, I think Your Highness may only hear me confess my life experience at an appropriate time in the future. As for Your Highness' questions … please allow me to answer Your Highness alone. I believe we will all get the most satisfactory answer. "
Obsidian looked at Nero, and Nero rolled his eyes and smiled, "Royal Highness Obsidian, I think I can confirm one thing. The [Body of Light Blessing] can only be born in the purest bloodline of our 2 Holy Empire royal families. According to the royal bloodline, maybe I should really call this Charles' Your Highness'. "
After saying this, Nero turned and left the palace. In the hall, only Prince Obsidian and Charles … Royal Highness were left.
