Devil's Son-in-Law-Novel

Chapter 1248: A Glimmer of Hope

The sky was densely covered with red clouds. Thunders rumbled, and soon there was torrential rain.

Staring at the torrential rain outside the window, Chen Rui fell into silence.

In the Battle of the White Sea, although Python caused an explosion with the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction at the cost of her life, it did not really eliminate Quilliana.

Quilliana’s strength was extremely terrifying. At the last moment, she forcibly withstood the terrifying explosion and took away the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction. Of course, she and the other 2 Rulers were also severely injured like never before.

However, as long as the will of the Abyss existed, the 3 of them would not die, and recovery was only a matter of time. This had been confirmed by Satan and Michael.

Under the fusion of ‘Saint Fighting Heart’ given by Gabriel with life force, Python had gained a new life, but her body and strength had been greatly depleted. She was currently being fused in the Star Conferring Platform to recuperate her injuries, so she would not be able to fight in the short term.

Except for Python, Chen Rui was the one who was injured the most and recovered the fastest. The situation of the rest was not so optimistic. Michael broke his arm. Now he had even lost the faith power support of the Holy Light Mountain, and the destruction power of Python was no small matter, it would be difficult to heal in a short time. The Book of Destruction, which Satan merged with his soul, was abruptly stripped by Quilliana, so he was more severely injured than Michael. Zola’s injury was relatively better, while Catherine, Auglas, Pagris and others in the big formation all suffered varying degrees of damage from the explosion of creation and destruction power triggered by Quilliana’s blow. Their strength was greatly reduced while some weaker ones were directly annihilated.

It could be said that the high-end powerhouses on the side of humans and demons were temporarily unable to fight anymore. From the perspective of ordinary combat power levels, the White Sea, which was regarded as a natural moat, had been incredibly turned into land under the power of destruction and creation. As such, it could no longer exert its original geographical advantages. If the Abyss army launched an attack again, even the coalition armies of the 2 worlds would not be able to resist it if they only relied on regular troops.

Chen Rui was silent for a moment, then he turned around and told everyone about his plan.

“No!” Zola and Isabella reacted the fastest. Before Chen Rui finished speaking, they had already spoken at the same time.

It turned out that Chen Rui’s plan was to strike when the 3 Rulers were injured. He wanted to raid Nightmare Volcano by surprise, annihilating the injured 3 rulers in one fell swoop. As for the best person to do this, it was naturally none other than Chen Rui himself who was the strongest.

“If you want to go, I’ll go with you!” Zola added.

“It’s not that I’m afraid of dying, but this plan won’t work.” Satan shook his head. He was also a ruthless person. At that time, he did not hesitate to use his own bloodline power to trigger the eruption of the Book of Destruction, wanting to die with Quilliana. Unfortunately, it failed.

Michael, who had been sitting at the table thinking, also said, “It really doesn’t work. If it’s an ordinary battle, raiding with a squad at this time can play an unexpected role. However, Nightmare Volcano is by no means an ordinary place. It is the place where the will of the Abyss descends. In that environment, your strength will be greatly weakened by the will. Even if the opponent is Dillosro, you may not be able to fight him, let alone Sosbach and Quilliana. In the face of the gap in absolute strength, no matter how strong the strategy is, it is useless. If you go rashly, you will surely die, and the sacrifice will be in vain.”

Chen Rui frowned and asked, “What if I use the supreme key?”

As soon as the words came out, Michael and Satan expressed their opposition in unison.

Michael sighed, “You don’t understand what kind of existence it is. Judging from the current situation, if you don’t use it, there may still be a glimmer of hope in this world; if you use it, then there is no hope at all, unless …”

“Unless what?” Chen Rui asked. He still can’t figure out what the supreme key is. He thought it was the strongest artifact caused by sacrificing himself, but he learned from Quilliana that it was the key to opening the seal of the Book of Life and Death. However, now it seems that this key is not as simple as imagined. It seems to have terrifying consequences of destruction after opening the seal of life and death. That was why Lucifer said so.

So, what is the role of the supreme key? Just to die with the enemy?

Faced with Chen Rui’s question, Michael and Satan, the 2 old rivals, looked at each other, and fell silent. Chen Rui knew that there must be some kind of taboo involved in it. He had witnessed the annihilation of Earth Elemental King Moore with his own eyes, so he knew it was not intentional, but they were restricted by powerful rules or forbidden forces.

“I can only tell you that if you use this thing, it will bring unpredictable consequences unless you can transcend everything,” Satan pondered and said, emphasizing another sentence, “Yes, it is ‘transcend’.”

“Transcend?” Chen Rui savored the deep meaning of this word carefully, but he was still puzzled.

“It’s not that I want to affect morale on purpose,” Auglas interjected, “It’s just that I feel that the hope of survival is very slim now. Now that we have lost the geographical advantage of the White Sea, it will be difficult for us to recover in a short time. If we just wait, the destruction of this world is imminent.”

Many people fell silent. What Auglas said was indeed the truth.

Catherine, who had been thinking about it all the time, said, “Sir Michael, what do you mean by the ‘glimmer of hope’?”

“As expected of the most intelligent empress in the Demon Realm. You have very keen observation skills,” Michael nodded, “We do have a glimmer of hope.”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s attention was focused. Michael looked at Chen Rui, “The last hope is him.”

“Me?” Chen Rui was taken aback. If he hadn’t been on the same side as Michael now, he would have thought that Michael was deliberately flattering him.

“It’s you.” Michael sighed, “I already know that you are not that person, but your potential is unfathomable, far beyond my knowledge. During our first fight at the Holy Light Mountain, you were still a tool of Python at that time, and your strength was only Demi-God. The second meeting was a few years later, still at the Holy Light Mountain, but at that time, Python became your subordinate. Plus, your strength has already reached the peak stage of Pseudo-God. If it is a 1-on-1 battle, I’m not even sure that I can beat you. When we meet for the third time… you alone can already fight Gabriel, Raphael, and I together. Although you can’t defeat Quilliana now, you have already surpassed Dillosro! This is the first time I have seen such terrifying progress. I believe that you will be able to surpass Quilliana. Maybe you can go further, stepping into the door that we can’t cross…”

“I’m just…” Chen Rui smiled wryly. He never had any ambition to become a God. His greatest wish was to embrace the women he loved every day, watch his precious children grow up, and enjoy life, family, and friendship.

Power was only for protection.

Regarding Michael’s words, Satan nodded empathetically. He said, “It’s just that Quilliana won’t give him this opportunity to grow. We don’t have enough time.”

“Opportunities have to be seized.” Michael stood up slowly, “And so is time.”

Satan frowned. He suddenly thought of something and understood, “You mean… to go to that place?”

“It’s rare that we think the same.” Michael showed a faint smile, “It reminds me of Angels City back then…”

Michael didn’t go on while Satan snorted. He didn’t linger on the topic as he said, “Well, there’s one thing that needs to happen first.”

Watching the 2 of them playing riddles, Zola couldn’t help asking, “What?”

“Migration.” Satan had already answered.

“Migration?” Isabella immediately responded, “Could it be that migrating the remaining humans and ground races to… the Demon Realm?”

“That’s right.” Michael looked at the torrential rain outside the window and sighed, “Now the human world can no longer be defended. If the Abyss attacks again, it will definitely be unable to resist. We can only abandon the human world and evacuate to the Demon Realm as soon as possible. Although demons and humans have had feuds for many years, facing the common enemy of the Abyss, they must let go of their hatred and fight side by side. The fact that you are here today is already a pretty definite answer.”

Everyone had personally experienced the Abyss war, and they nodded in unison. Michael spoke up, “If everyone has no objections, Your Majesty Catherine, please contact the other 2 empresses and make preparations for placement as soon as possible.” novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Catherine smiled slightly, “Don’t worry. In fact, when the Demon Realm sent troops to support for the first time, just in case, Chen Rui had already asked us to make corresponding arrangements.”

“We forgot that the most powerful son-in-law of the Demon Realm is here.” Pagris smiled to ease the tense atmosphere, “It’s a pity that I don’t have a daughter, oh, no… my only daughter has been abducted by him.”

Pagris was referring to Avril who entered the Galaxy Divinity Temple and became an ‘oracle’, but Auglas sneered, “So what? I have already married my 2 daughters to him. Your daughter can only be a maid at best.”

Pagris was the holy dragon, and a black dragon like Auglas was a natural rival. Although the 2 were in the same trench, they never showed friendly faces to each other. Pagris was about to turn his face, but he was suddenly taken aback, showing a strange expression, “Wait a minute, are you sure your daughters are married to him?”

Of course, Auglas knew that the 2 daughters were a miser and a lily. They were just getting free food and drink from Chen Rui, but no matter what, Olypheus had the title of fiancee and had an engagement ceremony, so he immediately said confidently, “Of course!”

Pagris, “You have a daughter named Lalaria, right?”

Auglas, “How do you know?”

Pagris, “Last time she seduced many dragons girls in the Dragon Valley, saying that she wanted to take them back as concubines…”

Auglas, “…”

As the number one strength among dragons, Zola ignored the boring fight between the 2 Dragon Emperors, but she raised a crucial question, “Even if we evacuate to the Demon Realm, the Abyss will still come in through the Golden Estate between the 2 worlds. We won’t be able to buy much time.”

Michael nodded and said, “So, the few of us have to go to a place. To enter that place, we need your power.”

“What?” Zola didn’t understand for a while.

“The elemental world!”

TL: Elemental world? Is it to borrow an artifact?
