The appearance of the little loli was just a small interlude. When Chen Rui arrived at the night market, his harem group was watching a small concert in the square. Since the success of the Fallen Angel Empire concert last time, this form of performance had gradually become popular in the Demon Realm.
Due to the martial arts conference, Iron Fist City currently gathered audiences from all over the world, so many enthusiasts spontaneously organized free concerts. Although the level was not too high and the special effects were amateurish, it still attracted a lot of people.
Chen Rui only heard that Lilith had a daughter from the black dragon chick's long series of experiences. Since the black dragon chick did not mention the name of Duoduo, the pig head toy was also kept in the space ring by Athena as a treasure, so Chen Rui did not care about this matter.
That night, Athena boldly sneaked into Chen Rui's room for a night raid. According to the succubus maid who came to help later, the "battle" for the baby this time seemed to be particularly intense.
2 days later, the semi-finals began.
The first match was Catherine vs. Red Mantis in the Forest Forest area of the ancient battlefield.
Since both of them were national-level powerhouses, the enchantment of the competition area was reinforced again during this period. A special small magic circle was set up under each tree. The entire forest area was a giant protective circle.
After seeing the strength shown by Lalaria during the battle with Raizen, Red Mantis was not afraid but happy. He intended to break into the finals and gain valuable experience through the battle with the Demi-God powerhouse, then explore the threshold of advancing to Demi-God. Perhaps this would be his biggest gain in this competition.
Of course, in order to face Lalaria, he must first defeat his semi-final opponent, Catherine. As for Lalaria entering the finals, King Octopus felt that there was no suspense.
Facing the Demon Realm's first sage, Red Mantis felt that Catherine's breath was extraordinary, but compared with him, a veteran powerhouse who had been in the peak state for many years, there was still a considerable gap. It was not too difficult for him to win.
"It's not that I look down on women, but you have no chance of winning." "As an opponent, I will definitely not show mercy. If you admit defeat now, you can at least escape unscathed."
Catherine didn't answer, and her veiled face didn't show any expression. Suddenly, four golden puppets appeared around her. This action had fully demonstrated her attitude and determination to fight.
The Scarlet Mantis did not continue. She casually shook the dark red robe on her body, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Waves of terrifying aura surged out.
Catherine felt as if she was in a stormy sea. A touch of red appeared on her fingertips, and she drew a mark in the air. The totems on the four golden puppets began to shine. The imprint immediately ignited, turning into a huge golden net of countless threads. With the Golden Puppet at the four corners, it formed a formation. At first glance, it looked like a marionette.
The Golden Puppet moved with a strange rhythm, and that tidal wave of momentum was immediately dispersed. It was like a large ship that could not be capsized, breaking through the waves on the sea.
The Four Souls Defensive Formation was a high-level secret skill of War Puppet that integrated offense and defense.
"Very subtle means. Unfortunately, in front of absolute power, no matter how subtle the skill is, it is useless." The Scarlet Mantis shook its head and waved its hand. The golden net trembled, and countless "threads" broke, but they automatically connected and did not collapse.
The Octopus King's small eyes narrowed slightly, and its chubby body appeared in front of the giant net in an instant. Its hands separated, and the giant net cracked. The four golden puppets flew out, and the "Four Souls Defensive Formation" collapsed in an instant.
The four golden puppets turned and combined into a bright golden puppet. It was the "Soul Combat Fusion" that had been used in the battle with Paglio. The bright golden puppet far surpassed the golden puppets in both strength and speed.
Facing the bright golden puppet, the Octopus King just sneered. Its figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to split into several clones, surrounding the bright golden puppet in the middle. In fact, it was just a high-speed afterimage.
Amidst the high-speed sounds of attacks, the bright golden puppet began to distort, deform, and then shatter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the eyes of the audience, the Octopus King's chubby figure flashed a few times before returning to its original position, and the bright golden puppet, which was intact a few seconds ago, had shattered into countless pieces.
Paglio had used all the power of his kingdom and his own poison talent to deal with the bright golden puppet, but in the face of the Octopus King, it only lasted for a few seconds. The higher one's strength was, the greater the gap between a small realm. There was a gap of two small realms between the peak and the early stage of the Kingdom, and the gap was indeed huge.
After the Bright Gold Puppet was destroyed, Catherine suddenly disappeared. The Octopus King suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, and he looked up to see a massive dark golden foot stomping down from the sky with terrifying power.
Even the Red Mantis didn't dare to neglect this kind of power. It raised its palms to the sky, and a huge wave of power surged out. The huge foot could no longer descend from a distance of four to five meters.
This dark gold puppet was more than ten meters tall. Catherine stood on the puppet's shoulder and slowly pressed her hands down. The runes on the dark gold puppet's body flickered, and all of a sudden, its power was greatly enhanced.
The Octopus King felt the pressure increase, and his expression changed slightly. His feet began to slowly sink into the ground.
Catherine's hands steamed with black flames, and they flew into the dark golden puppet's forehead. The dark golden puppet's eyes shone with green light, and it suddenly stomped down, completely stomping the Red Mantis into the ground.
A large number of cracks appeared on the ground, and explosions and tremors came from the ground. Clearly, the power of this stomp was extremely astonishing.
"Bang!" The ground in the distance suddenly exploded, and a chubby figure broke out of the ground and rushed over like lightning.
The dark golden puppet suddenly shrank to an ordinary size of about two meters and faced the Octopus King.
The projection in the arena constantly flashed the images of the three figures changing positions. Even though the barrier had been reinforced, the projection would still be temporarily blurred due to the strong power shock. One could imagine the intensity of the battle.
The dark golden puppet's body was very special. Although it was damaged, it could constantly regenerate, and its various parts could also change shape. Sometimes, it turned into a giant, and sometimes, its limbs turned into sharp blades.
The Red Mantis shouted, and Catherine and the dark golden puppet were shaken away. The Octopus King didn't chase after them. Its arms seemed to have transformed into eight, and they quickly drew a trajectory.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the forest was quickly covered with a layer of white frost. Layers of crisscrossing transparent crystal walls appeared where Catherine and the dark golden puppet were. It was like a maze, and the figure of the Red Mantis could no longer be seen.
"Although I've been far away in the Sea of Death for many years, I've also heard of the reputation of the Asmodeus Royal Family's undead puppet." Outside the maze, the contempt in the Octopus King's eyes had long disappeared, and it was replaced with seriousness. "Now that we've fought, I know that the undead puppet can not only regenerate infinitely and change freely, but it can also strengthen the controller's power and complement each other, greatly increasing the power of both sides. Your strength should not have reached the pinnacle of the kingdom, but the combat power you displayed is almost close to the pinnacle level."
Catherine still didn't speak. Her hands glowed with a faint light, and she tried to use the talent "Elemental Weakening" to dissolve the nearby crystal wall. The crystal wall began to thin, but it quickly formed again. It seemed to be endless.
"I recognize your strength, but even if your strength reaches the pinnacle of the kingdom, you are still not my opponent." Chi Yan wasn't bragging. As a veteran powerhouse of the pinnacle of the kingdom, he was only one step away from demigod. In addition to his own talent power, there were very few people in the same realm who could defeat him. "I'll let you see what the true pinnacle of the kingdom's power is. Seeing that you're a woman, I'll give you one last reminder — since you've chosen to fight, you must have the awareness of death."
In the maze, Catherine's black eyes were still calm, and she finally said, "This reminder is also for you."
A murderous look flashed in the Octopus King's eyes. He leaped and disappeared.
The figure of the Octopus King suddenly jumped out of the mirror behind the undead puppet, and he punched the puppet from a distance. Suddenly, there was a deep fist mark, and the fist mark was covered with a circle of ice crystals. Affected by the ice, the recovery of the undead puppet slowed down a lot.
The puppet's reaction was extremely fast. He suddenly turned his hand into a giant hammer, turned around, and swung it. The figure was shattered, and a big hole appeared on the crystal wall. However, what scattered on the ground were only pieces of ice. Soon, the big hole began to automatically return to its original state.
Catherine suddenly understood the function of these crystal walls. She immediately switched to a back-to-back position with the undead puppet, guarding against possible sneak attacks at any time.
Sure enough, the Octopus King kept flashing like a ghost, and most of its attacks were aimed at Catherine. As long as the controller was eliminated, the undead puppet would naturally lose its power.
Catherine understood the Octopus King's intentions. She did her best and relied on the buff and defense of the undead puppet to avoid many attacks.
In this kingdom, the Octopus King was almost an undefeatable existence. Its true body would only appear at the moment it launched an attack, and then it would turn into an ice crystal clone. The troublesome thing was that if this ice crystal clone wasn't destroyed, it would continue to attack.
In just a few minutes, the undead puppet was already riddled with scars, and a large number of ice crystals solidified on its body. Its recovery speed was several times slower than normal.
After resolving another surprise attack from the Red Mantis, Catherine inadvertently glanced at the puppet when she switched positions with the undead puppet. Her pupils suddenly shrank because she saw the shadow of the Red Mantis there!
It was on the undead puppet's body!
It turned out that as long as this ice crystal reached a certain amount and thickness, it could become a medium for Chi Yan to enter and exit. The Octopus King deliberately attacked the undead puppet just for this moment.
This kind of tactic was simply unfathomable. Even Catherine fell for it.
In the blink of an eye, the Octopus King had already flown out of the crystal wall on the undead puppet's body and accurately punched Catherine.
This punch contained a powerful force. Even if Catherine's strength was quite close to the peak of the kingdom, she would still be seriously injured if not dead.
After the Octopus King delivered the fatal blow, his expression suddenly changed because this punch had unexpectedly penetrated Catherine's body without any hindrance.
A phantom? The Octopus King immediately reacted, and a strong sense of crisis arose in its heart. Before it could dodge, a bright blade suddenly protruded from its chest.
The Octopus King roared wildly, and its arm violently swung backward at an unconventional angle, slapping the figure away. Catherine's figure appeared on the other side in the distance. The one that was slapped away just now was the undead puppet in front of her.
"It actually …" The Octopus King looked at the blade in its chest in disbelief. It only felt a strange vitality that did not belong to it spreading rapidly. Except for its heart that had been shattered by the sharp qi, every part of its body was invaded by this strange force.
This dagger was obviously a special legendary weapon. Not only could it break the defense, but it could also store and spread the power of nirvana. The strange "vitality" made Chi Yan's wounds heal quickly, and the whole dagger was firmly bound in its body. Not only that, this force was also constantly trying to take control of its body. It wanted to obliterate its soul and completely occupy Chi Yan's body.
"The awareness of death … I warned you," Catherine said faintly, and her body gradually turned from nothingness into a solid body with the cloak behind her.
One of the seven artifacts, the Dark Shadow Cloak!
The Dark Shadow Cloak was actually a very "snobbish" artifact. The weaker the wielder was, the more difficult it was to play the role of the artifact. The stronger the wielder was, the greater the role and amplification of the artifact.
Back then, Catherine's strength was greatly reduced because of "nirvana", and she was chased by Broc. The power of the Dark Shadow Cloak was not fully exerted, and she was almost killed by Broc. When Catherine's strength reached the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, she could use the power of the Dark Shadow Cloak to hide in Raizen's kingdom.
The Dark Shadow Cloak had 3 major effects of invisibility, illusion, and anti-magic. Catherine used the illusion to confuse Chi Yan, then she launched a sneak attack. She gave Chi Yan a taste of his own medicine and gave Octopus King a fatal blow.
The audience in the arena cheered thunderously. The first sage and the first beauty, Catherine the Great, really did not let them down. She finally won this battle!
Only Raizen and others understood how unexpected Catherine's victory was.
Chen Rui was no longer watching the battle in the arena. He rushed to the arena with all his might. Chi Yan was his friend. Although life and death were determined in this kind of big battle, he would never sit back and watch his friend die in Catherine's hands.
"Good tactic! Good scheming! " Octopus King praised "good" twice. He gritted his teeth and patted his chest. The sharp blade that grew in his flesh shot out from his back and penetrated into the ground, bringing out a stream of green blood. "I almost failed or even died because I underestimated the enemy. I don't feel wronged at all. Unfortunately, this battle is not over yet. I have three hearts. If you want to knock me down, this is not enough. "
Catherine felt that the opponent's momentum did not weaken, but it skyrocketed to a terrifying level. She immediately recalled the undead puppet and waited.
"I thought I had given you enough attention, but I still underestimated you. I'm sorry for that. Your strength and wisdom are enough to make me pay 120% of my attention. Now, I will go all out. "
With that said, Octopus King took a deep breath. The crystal wall in the kingdom gradually disappeared and turned into a roaring sea.
