Chapter 1071: Betting Agreement
The ‘positioning’ function of the secret treasure crystal ball that Satan said was definitely not an alarmist. Soon after, Satan used this positioning to project his avatar in the way of s.p.a.ce projection.
It was not only the avatar that came, but the power of the avatar was progressively strengthened, and it soon became a real original body.
Feeling the pressure from the strongest Pseudo-G.o.d in the Demon Realm, Chen Rui secretly channeled the Star Power, making his state of mind completely ‘calm’. He spoke up, “Welcome, Sir Satan, this time we will work together to destroy the Despair Main Altar.”
“‘Cooperation’ is not the key word between us, even if we have a common enemy.” As Satan’s eyes locked on Chen Rui coldly, the intangible soul pressure was amplified, Chen Rui clearly sensed Satan’s murderous intention. He had been secretly charging various means of defense and escape. On the surface, he had always remained calm and tranquil like the sea.
“Water Elemental Messenger, we haven’t seen each other for many years.” Satan looked at Chen Rui for a while, withdrew his killing intent, and looked at Lambost.
“We are neither friends nor enemies, so we can be called acquaintances, Sir Satan,” Lambost nodded. “According to the power of this projection, it is not an exaggeration to call you sir.”
Satan set his sights on the Crown of Wave, “Water origin fragment? I seem to have seen it in someone’s hands before.”
Chen Rui had shown the water origin fragment to Satan at the Mountain Seckred. He knew that Satan was already suspicious, and he continued, “This is the treasure that my believer discovered, and that’s the reason I got to know the Royal Highness King.”
Lambost naturally wouldn’t expose him, “No matter what grievances the 2 of you have before, this time I hope everyone can work together to destroy Dillosro’s main altar.”
“Since Water Elemental Messenger is here, I’ll take this opportunity to give you another choice.” Satan looked at Chen Rui with a sneer, “This time, if I eliminate Dillosro first, you will surrender to me, present me with the creation origin law, and join Dark Divinity Temple; if you eliminate Dillosro first, then I…”
“Abandon the plans for Dark Divinity Temple?”
“You don’t have this qualification.” Satan said proudly, “However, I can give you an extra 100 years.”
Chen Rui quickly thought. Satan should have decided this betting agreement on the spur of the moment, and the creation origin should be the key. Although I don’t know why Satan is suddenly so eager to get the creation origin, which he was not really interested in before, it is also an opportunity for me. With my current strength, there is almost no chance of winning if I go to the Mountain Seckred 2 months later. Now in the bet of defeating Dillosro first, I see a glimmer of hope. The Water Shadow Pearl given by the Water Elemental King should also play a role.
“I’m sorry, it’s impossible under this condition!” Chen Rui’s thoughts turned, and he already had an idea. He shook his head resolutely. “It seems that the full creation origin I have at hand is quite valuable to sir, and I do need some time to comprehend the creation might. We might as well change the betting agreement. If I lose, I will show you the full origin power of creation to you. The 3-month period is still the same; if you lose, we will push back the date of the battle for another 10 years. I wonder if Sir Satan has confidence in yourself?”
“Lame little trick. I’m afraid you’ll die at the hands of Dillosro.” Satan snorted, obviously expressing his disdain for the provocation in the last sentence.
In fact, Satan had his own plans. The Book of Destruction was still 1 page short of completeness, and there was still a big gap in trying to barely complete the transfer of faith. Therefore, he had been preparing a secret technique to complement the Book of Destruction by temporarily replacing the incomplete part. At least, he could complete the most important function of stealing faith more smoothly.
Satan was a talented and brilliant person. After feeling the origin power of creation in the Fallen Angel Empire last time, he was inspired by the reverse deduction of the creation origin, which actually gave him an amazing insight into the stagnant comprehension of destruction origin power.
Although Chen Rui looked mysterious, Satan believed that as long as this enemy dared to come to the Mountain Seckred, he had full confidence that he would be annihilated. Nonetheless, after comprehending the great benefits of creation origin in this month’s closed-door training, Satan had the idea of capturing the enemy alive to obtain the creation origin – ‘showing’ the origin power and ‘presenting’ origin were 2 concepts, but for Satan, the significance of creation origin was not possession, but comprehension, so there was not much difference.
For the time being, this person’s life was worth more than death.
However, Pseudo-G.o.d powerhouse had his own uniqueness. It was more difficult to capture alive than to kill. Moreover, this man escaped from the hands of Michael and Raphael while obtaining the complete creation origin, which was definitely not a fluke.
When Satan activated the pressure just now, the calmness shown by Chen Rui was not fake. He must be confident to escape from Satan’s hands.
Hence, Satan came up with that betting agreement.
Now that Satan heard Chen Rui’s bargaining, his mind began to move. Although the strength of this guy is hidden at the level of the peak stage of the Demi-G.o.d, he should be far inferior to me. If Dillosro’s projection is really close to the final form, then the strength must definitely be higher than this person. I just need to be careful, don’t let him take advantage of it, then it should be a sure win.
“Life and death are destined. I’m not in a hurry, so Sir Satan doesn’t need to worry.”
Lambost looked at Chen Rui, then at Satan before he added, “I also want to see how close this ‘closeness’ to G.o.d is.”
There was a twinkle in Satan’s eyes, and he had made up his mind, “Okay!”
Chen Rui nodded, and a faint light appeared in his hand, “Before we go together, in order to protect the integrity of both parties, please sign this equality contract first, sir.”
“Your name is Richard? What’s this condition? Don’t do anything harmful to each other for 10 years? Don’t attack your companion in the cooperative battle? Hmph, ridiculously cautious.” Satan glanced at the content of the contract while showing a contemptuous expression. Then, he waved his hand and signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Chen Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that in this betting agreement, he still stood at an absolute disadvantage, so he still could not relax at all. He had to judge the situation and seize every possible opportunity.
The strength of the Despair Lord was no trivial matter, especially this terrifying main altar hat was close to the ultimate state, Dillosro was already close to the real body. Chen Rui wanted Lambost to stay, but the Water Elemental King insisted on going with him.
The journey from Miro Sea Area to Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area was still dangerous. Satan’s strength was also revealed at this time. He just activated a little strength to easily get through the maze of Miro Sea Area. Even when Chen Rui activated [Invade Like Fire], he only broke open the kingdom outside the Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area. Meanwhile, with just a wave of hand, Satan canceled the imprisoned s.p.a.ce and went directly to the sea area of the main altar.
Looking at the rolling lava under his feet and the bone island in the distance and feeling the suffocation in the air, Satan’s gaze began to become serious.
“This kind of breath is no doubt close to the final form.” Satan didn’t wait for Chen Rui to move. His figure flashed, and he had already appeared in front of a bone island. A dark golden light shone out of his hand toward the bone island.
The nearby lava blood sea was divided by the aftermath due to the light. When the light struck the bone island, it burst open, leaving a huge gap. The power of this casual blow alone was far greater than the killing move that Chen Rui activated with the [Purple Pole Star Transformation] state.
Satan frowned, because he had felt the subsequent loss of faith and life force. In the blink of an eye, the gap had returned to its original shape.
With a thought, Satan appeared in the center of the 2 bone islands, and a powerful momentum burst out from his whole body. With a push of his palms, countless flames erupted instantly with Satan as the center, rolling toward the 2 bone islands. Wherever the flames went, the already extremely hot lava was evaporated by the powerful breath. The entire sea area seemed to be lower.
Satan’s movements were extremely fast. The bone islands were swallowed up in the blink of an eye. In the violent tremor, countless pieces of debris exploded. Chen Rui was shocked; he didn’t even have time to make a move.
At this moment, the Water Elemental King shook his head at Chen Rui, only to see that the fragments soon recovered into the bone islands. Satan’s brows furrowed even tighter not only because of the recovery of the bone islands, but also because of the strange power of rule. Those who attack the bone island would lose considerable faith power and life force, which was the most important basic power of super powerhouses, even for Pseudo-G.o.d powerhouses.
“Attack separately!” Satan originally wanted to destroy the 2 bone islands in one go, then eliminate Dillosro to win the betting agreement. Unexpectedly, the strength of the bone island was far beyond imagination. It was very difficult to destroy 2 of them at the same time, and it would cost a lot of faith power and life force. He naturally did not want to let Chen Rui sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits.
Chen Rui knew that the real enemy was still behind, so now he must destroy the bone island first. He immediately flew toward another bone island. Countless purple lights shone. He had activated [Pole Star Transformation] while flying.
“[Swift As Wind]!”
As the 2 words were uttered, the speed of the purple light suddenly accelerated, as if lightning shot directly at the bone island. This speed was extremely astonis.h.i.+ng. When Satan caught a glimpse of this scene, his brows were slightly raised, but his attention quickly turned to the front where countless crystal lights solidified into a huge hand, grabbing toward him.
Satan snorted, stretched out his hand and shook. The lava under his feet suddenly vibrated, showing numerous tiny ripples of high-speed vibration as a strong shock force spread out in the air.
Under this power, the giant hand was scattered into countless pieces. This was the special ability that Satan once demonstrated as the avatar in the Ghastly Floating Land. It was similar to the concussive function of a ‘high frequency weapon’. The power launched by the original body now was more than 100 times stronger. The arm of Dillosro’s phantom collapsed in an instant.
After the shock wave smashed the arm, the remaining momentum did not stop. It went straight to the bone island. A large area of the huge bone island immediately collapsed before it slowly recovered again.
This time, the recovery speed of the collapse was much slower than the previous smash. In addition, the faith power and life force absorbed also decreased. The reason was very simple, because the bone island on the other side was attacked by Chen Rui at the same time.
Lambost nodded secretly. The simultaneous attacks of the 2 of them had disturbed the bone island’s balance of the main altar’s power. Even if the bone islands could recover, at this speed, it wouldn’t be long before they would really collapse.
