As soon as the badge shattered, a spot of light appeared in the space like a seed, exuding a sacred and solemn aura. Even the power of the Blue Planet Kingdom could not conceal this aura.
Ze Hongen's spirits were lifted, and he rushed toward the "seed" with all his remaining strength. He suddenly felt a great sense of danger, and his body was already surrounded by countless sharp auras.
"Lord Raphael, save …"
Ze Hongen's cries for help came to an abrupt end. In the blink of an eye, his body was torn into pieces, completely annihilated by the power of the kingdom.
Chen Rui had originally wanted to keep Ze Hongen alive to interrogate him about the Breeze Shadow Boots and other secrets, but he did not expect Ze Hongen to have such a trick up his sleeve. He had actually successfully activated the badge despite losing his wrist, and the name "Raphael" was indescribably shocking to his ears.
Of course, he would not give Ze Hongen another chance to live.
Chen Rui knew that time was of the essence. After using all his strength to kill Ze Hongen, he waved his hand without hesitation and opened a light blue door of light. At this time, the "seed" had already begun to rapidly expand into a light shadow, and an astonishing aura spread out like a spider web, extending in all directions.
Chen Rui seemed to hesitate for a moment, and at this moment, his body was already stuck by the "spider web", and he could not move at all. The light of the [Star Gate] quickly disappeared.
In front of the magic mirror outside the space of the Star Tower, Carlisle and the higher-ups of the Academy were still shocked by the scene of Ze Hongen being torn apart and annihilated.
"Ol 'President …" Regiana said with difficulty.
Carlisle knew what Regiana wanted to say, and shook his head. "Don't worry, a powerhouse who can kill Ze Hongen wants to enter the Star Tower silently. It is not something we can detect or stop. Moreover, with the demigod contract, the Church of Light …"
Before he could finish speaking, the space in the magic mirror suddenly trembled violently. With a "crack", a crack appeared on the surface of the mirror, and then two, three …
"Bang!" The entire magic mirror shattered, and the expressions of Carlisle and the others changed drastically. What kind of power was this? Just the aftermath of the spatial tremors had shattered the magic mirror that was fused with the power of the Star Tower!
Within the space of the Star Pagoda, an incomparably terrifying pressure emanated from the violent tremors. The Star Pagoda that was protected by the space below began to collapse, and all the trial takers fainted without exception.
Finally, the terrifying tremors stopped. Amidst the dazzling light in the sky, a human figure gradually became clear.
This was a man with long black hair. He had an extraordinary temperament, as if he had transcended the mortal world. Due to some kind of special power, his facial features were a little blurry, but he gave off a handsome and elegant feeling. One could even feel a trace of habitual elegance at the corner of his mouth.
The man maintained a faint smile as his calm gaze landed on Chen Rui, who was struggling to hold on.
Chen Rui instinctively felt that the seemingly gentle gaze contained a terrifying power that made one's soul tremble. It was as if one look could crush his soul. This kind of "crushing" was different from the "penetrating" ability of Charlie's Evil Eye, but it was still extremely dangerous.
Chen Rui took a deep breath. His body emitted a devouring power, which quickly offset the black-haired man's pressure. He took the opportunity to bow. "Lord Raphael?"
"I can feel the dissipating aura of the Water Kingdom in this space. Ze Hongen … has already been annihilated." As the man spoke, his eyes flashed. The "spider web" that covered the space turned into a strangely structured Space Force Field, enveloping the surroundings. The illusion and devouring power that covered Chen Rui's body instantly disintegrated. The space around him was completely sealed.
Not to mention a person, even sound and light could not pass through.
"Not bad illusion and devouring power. It seems to have fused with some kind of dark creature's talent." Raphael's calm voice reverberated in Chen Rui's soul, shattering his mental defense. "It's just that your strength hasn't turned into a kingdom yet, so it's not enough to fight against Ze Hongen. It's even more impossible to kill him, especially in such a short period of time after using the Badge of Domination. Compared to this process, I'm more curious about your courage … Your calmness seems to come from the bottom of your heart. Don't you know who I am? "
"Of course I know. I'm just curious." Chen Rui revealed a smile. "I've heard of Lord Raphael for a long time. It's an honor to be able to see your true face today."
"I have no interest in accepting the worship of ants," Raphael said calmly. "If you want to be honored, then let it be the last emotional experience of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Rui suddenly felt that the spider web space had turned into a cage filled with endless cold killing intent. Raphael only needed a thought to completely turn him into ashes. Under such an absolute difference in strength, any exquisite technique would be futile. There was no room for resistance.
The terrifying cold suddenly stopped because Chen Rui said two words. "Abyss."
Raphael raised his eyebrows. There seemed to be a strange look in his eyes. "What do you want to say? Last words? "
Although he had just escaped from the gates of hell, Chen Rui still appeared very calm. He shook his head. "If Lord Ze Hongen had summoned you here just to eliminate a Saint-level ant like me, isn't it too much of a waste? Don't you want to obtain something more valuable? In fact, be it last words or death, they are all meaningless to a clone. Lord Ze Hongen should know better than me. "
"Clone?"
"I'm not arrogant enough to dare use my true body to face Lord Ze Hongen's power directly, even if it's just a trace of power." Chen Rui smiled. "Besides, Ze Hongen's strength is already close to the peak of a kingdom. How could he fall in the hands of a Saint-level expert who hasn't even turned into a kingdom?"
This sentence was not fake. Raphael was most likely sleeping in that huge statue on the Holy Mountain of Light. Like Charlie and Satan, this kind of badge should summon a clone. However, even if it was a clone, it was not something he could handle. Chen Rui could feel that Raphael's clone was at least at the level of his father-in-law, Dragon Emperor Augustus. Its actual combat power was definitely above Augustus'.
So, the one who stayed here was his doppelganger, Shura.
In fact, Chen Rui still had two trump cards in his hands that should be able to fight against Raphael's clone — Charlie's Evil Eye Badge and Satan's Snake Badge. However, they were now in the Surface World. Whether he could summon them across space was still a problem. Moreover, those two fellows were not kind. Even if the summoning was successful, it would expose many things and bring about future troubles.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Raphael looked at the crowd below. "Your real body might be hiding somewhere. If this space is destroyed, no matter which you are, you will disappear completely."
"It seems that my Lord still doesn't believe that my real body has left." Chen Rui shrugged. "The reason why I left a clone here is not only to witness Lord Raphael's heroic appearance, but also to make a deal with my Lord. It has something to do with the Abyss."
"Go on."
The word "Abyss" made Raphael's eyes flicker. This person's life and death were completely in his hands, and it would be effortless to kill him. But as the other said, wasting a precious summoning badge just to kill some ants was indeed a waste of a sledgehammer. Ze Hongen was already dead. A dead man had no value. It was better to listen to this deal and see if he could get anything valuable.
"I can provide the most important information about the Abyss. However, I want to know the answers to a few questions."
"How do I know that the information you provide is valuable?" Raphael's eyes showed some disdain. "Perhaps, you've only heard of this word occasionally."
"Is that so?" Chen Rui smiled. "I have a little illusion technique. Please allow me to show my incompetence in front of my Lord."
As he spoke, a faint red light flashed past Chen Rui's eyes. The illusion power that Raphael had disintegrated condensed again. The space here was sealed by Raphael's strange power. Neither images nor sound could be transmitted, so Chen Rui did not have to worry.
Scenes appeared in the void like a movie.
Endless blood red, suffocating heat, beautiful and enchanting Flowers of the Abyss, countless Abyss creatures, endless death and destruction …
Raphael's eyes fell on a figure in the distance of the Abyss army. It was a woman, but her face could not be seen clearly. He could only feel an extreme hatred. In fact, this illusion was created by Chen Rui by combining the memories and information in the ancient alchemy civilization city "Skywheel". However, whether it was the memory crystal or Doruda's information, there was only a rough description of Quiriana. There was no specific appearance. Therefore, Chen Rui used a more vague "representation method".
"The Sovereign of Hatred …" Raphael was slightly shocked and restrained his calmness.
"That's right, Quiriana," Chen Rui said in a timely manner. "The Black Death Apostles are trying to make her descend."
The last sentence was obviously a bluff.
Raphael was finally moved. He restrained his pressure but still maintained the seal on the space. "Tell me everything you know, and I will not kill you. Just this once."
Chen Rui shook his head. "What I want is the answer. After obtaining the answer, you can destroy this space or this doppelganger."
"Three questions." Raphael pondered for a moment. "I can choose not to answer."
"Okay." Chen Rui knew that his bargaining chips were limited. "But please answer one question first, sir."
"Speak."
"What is in the Temple of Light?" Chen Rui spread his hands. "Although with my strength, I am not qualified to know the answer. However, I really can't suppress my curiosity."
A strange light flashed in Raphael's eyes. "Something that creates and changes everything. Even if it's a God …"
Raphael did not finish his sentence. He only looked at Chen Rui indifferently, indicating that he had nothing else to say.
Chen Rui cursed inwardly. A map appeared in his hand and floated towards Raphael. "This has the distribution and overview of some of the important strongholds of the Black Death Apostles."
This map was prepared to be handed over to the Church of Light. However, he did not expect that it would be passed to one of the three powerhouses.
It would be difficult for Chen Rui to deal with the mysterious Church alone. He had to borrow the sword of the Church of Light. Moreover, a few of the important strongholds were under the jurisdiction of Shura's' immediate superior 'Angeli. Exposing them to her would allow his undercover plan to proceed more smoothly.
After the map disappeared from Raphael's hand, Chen Rui asked his second question. "Actually, I've interrogated Ze Hongen about the first question. He mentioned that there is an Overgod Weapon part in the Temple called the 'Seal of Wind'. I want to know more information about the 'Seal of Wind'."
"Hmph! Seems like Ze Hongen really deserves to die. " Raphael frowned. "To the gods, this is a taboo. As the spokesperson of the God of Light, I will not answer your question."
The spokesperson of the God of Light? Chen Rui laughed coldly in his heart. However, what did it mean that the Breeze Shadow Boots were 'the taboo of the gods'? Could it be that there was a story behind the Seven Divine Weapons of the Devil Realm?
"The Black Death Apostles disguised themselves as Sorcerers in the Nightmare Plain to confuse the Orcs. They tricked the Orcs into worshipping the Evil God and held blood sacrifices to use their faith to make Quiriana descend …" Chen Rui selectively told him about what he had seen in the Nightmare Plain. These things were 90% true and 10% false. Naturally, the false part was the descent of Quiriana. As expected, Raphael did not suspect anything. His expression became solemn.
"If what you said is true, then this is indeed something that must be taken seriously … What I'm interested in is, why do you know so many secrets?" Raphael nodded. "It seems that you are more valuable alive than dead, so my efforts were not in vain."
"What do you mean, sir?" Chen Rui was stunned. "I have a third question."
"I don't want to answer anymore. You have no right to continue the transaction." Raphael regained his calm smile. He moved his fingers, and Chen Rui felt the energy waves around him become extremely strange. The spider web space that was originally surrounding him suddenly became threads of crisscrossing light, penetrating Chen Rui's body and intertwining with him.
Chen Rui was penetrated by the light, but he did not feel any pain. It was as if there were countless threads that transcended dimensions and penetrated his soul. This penetration did not only affect his doppelganger, but also the soul of his main body. He was instantly shocked.
"Dimensional Soul Restriction." Raphael's voice was still very calm, as if he had just done something insignificant. "The ability to seal the soul is very rare, especially one that transcends space. But for an omnipotent Archangel, it's not strange. I'm not only an Angel of Wisdom, but also a Lord Angel and an Angel of Energy. I'm the existence closest to God, and the power I possess is far beyond your imagination. The basic power of a doppelganger is the power of the soul, and your soul has already been sealed. Even if it's just a doppelganger, it can't return to your main body. I believe I'll get more valuable things from you. "
"As expected of one of the three supreme Angels. I wonder how Michael and Gabriel compare to your strength?" Chen Rui sighed.
"This is the third question?" Raphael said indifferently. "Unfortunately, you've already lost the right to make a deal."
"This isn't the third question … Alright, Raphael, one of the three supreme Angels, Angel of Wisdom, Lord Angel, and Angel of Energy, the existence closest to God, used a Dimensional Soul Restriction on me, and in the end, this doppelganger of mine can't return to my main body …" A strange smile suddenly appeared on Chen Rui's face. "I have to add one more sentence before the result. If this is just an ordinary doppelganger."
Raphael's long eyebrows rose, and he saw the 'doppelganger' sealed by the Dimensional Soul Restriction suddenly disappear. It was in the cage of the Dimensional Soul Restriction.
