Chapter 626: Final Battle
Rodriguez’s figure flickered, and the s.h.i.+fting technique was activated again. The s.p.a.ce cracks quickly followed him. They continued to surround Rodriguez without giving him a chance to escape.
However, Rodriguez’s s.h.i.+ft this time was not to escape. Instead, he turned into a white light and flew toward the nearby Dodo.
At this moment, Master Dodo had entered a state of near-mysterious state… To be precise, he was in a state of a foodie that was a realm of eating everything he could get hold of. The power of that part of the origin fragment of the light element had almost been digested by the slime. Although a considerable part of it was lost because of the explosion, most of them were devoured under Dodo’s rare desperate eating.
As expected, Dodo devoured the white light that Rodriguez had transformed into. When there was not much white light left, the slime’s movements stopped abruptly. His pupils gradually turned into 2 colors of gold and silver.
“It’s too easy!” Rodriguez’s laughter came from Dodo. His body trembled. The light leaves were gradually sucked into his left eye. Its body twisted for a while and transformed into a human shape. “This body’s will is as weak as a piece of paper. It’s almost effortless to occupy it.”
“The strength is also equally weak.” Shura’s voice sounded in the sky. Rodriguez’s laughter stopped abruptly. A fist was magnified in front of him, then his whole body burst open…
The body scattered into countless pieces and finally reunited. Another punch came, burst again, and the cycle continued…
“a.s.shole!” In order to protect most of his soul at the fastest speed from being devoured, Rodriguez used the method of suppressing his soul in order to occupy the body. At most, he could only exert the power of the body. The strength of the slime, which had always been lazy, always stayed in Demon King-level. Even if he unleashed his potential just now, he was just at the peak of the Demon King which was still 1 step away from the Great Demon King.
Facing Shura who was wearing the [Royal Star Transformation]’s black armor, his combat power was at least at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. Rodriguez could not fight back at all.
Rodriguez desperately used his undead body to resurrect and put on the armor. However, due to the huge difference in strength, the only power of the [Destructive Kingdom] that he could activate had no effect on Shura, so it still couldn’t change the result of being completely tormented.
The so-called “immortal body” was not endless. Once the power was exhausted, he would truly exhaust to death because he could not resurrect. Even the body would be annihilated. If this continued, Rodriguez would still fall into the previous crisis.
“Actually, you can try to merge with his soul so that your combat power would be greatly improved… Perhaps you could escape?” Shura let out a strange laugh as he watched at the slime who was reintegrating his body again.
Rodriguez sneered coldly, “I can sense that the contract relations.h.i.+p between this body and you should be a non-equality contract. Although I don’t know what scheme is going on in it, I won’t be fooled! Anyway, I want to annihilate its original consciousness, so I will choose to use the secret technique to a.s.similate this soul, completely abandon the contract part, and take full control of this body. My power will also be restored step by step. Speaking of which, although this body is not a dragon, immortality and devouring are good talents indeed.”
“The method you said is good, but do you think you have the time?” A murderous intent flashed in Shura’s blood pupils, “As long as I attack a few more times, you will be completely annihilated! Your only way to survive now is to merge with the soul of the slime to become my believer and servant. I will give you stronger destructive power in order to become a real dragon of destruction.
Rodriguez laughed hysterically. He deliberately set up 3 tests and waited for countless years just to lure the best body to be possessed, then rebuild the kingdom.
He didn’t expect that his plans went astray. The one who came was actually a terrifying nemesis. Under the current circ.u.mstances, I have to infest my soul in a lowly slime. The Demon Overlord level ant in front of me actually wants me, a pseudo-G.o.d powerhouse, to surrender?
Shame, such a shame!
“Dreaming! Ignorant ant! Don’t think that everything is under your control!” Rodriguez’s eyes shone 2 dazzling brilliance at the same time, 1 gold and 1 silver, which hung high in the air. It illuminated the entire kingdom like the sun and the moon. With Shura’s strange power, it was actually impossible to launch an attack under this light.
When the “sun” and “moon” gradually overlapped, the s.p.a.ce cracks controlled by Shura began to close automatically. Countless pulsating runes appeared in the s.p.a.ce. Shura’s body slowly froze like he had lost the ability to move. Not only Shura, even the crystallized Dark Elemental King Hegel and Rodriguez’s own body (Dodo’s body) also began to freeze under the rune.
The Tower of Destruction glowed with a bright 2-color light. Wherever it shone, no matter the resentful souls, the nagas or elementals, they were frozen like a wax statue that had lost its life. The entire Land of Hatred was dead silent.
“It’s a pity.” Rodriguez, who turned the situation, showed a regretful look, “It’s too late to further comprehend the power of the origin fragment of the dark element. The power of this cage will be greatly reduced. It cannot completely annihilate you. Once I use my last soul force to activate this move, I can only truly be reborn in this body.”
Shura didn’t panic as he asked faintly, “Do you think this kind of power can imprison me forever?”
“This cage can last at least 10,000 years which is enough time for me to truly master this body. More importantly, I will recover most of my power after waking up, and you…” Rodriguez sneered, “You are a human. Even if you have the [Body of Light Glory] and Demon Overlord power, you will only have a lifespan of a mere thousand years. It is a pity that I can only vent my anger by thwarting your body at that time.”
“10,000 years?” Shura sneered, “Don’t worry. My life is at least 100,000 years or more for now. We will meet again soon. Let me remind you that when you have been awakened in 100 years or decades from your sleep, don’t be surprised. At that time, I have reached a height that you can only look up to. Given your tenacious performance today, I will grant you a survival chance by then.
Rodriguez did not speak. After losing his gold and silver pupils, his eyes were closed. His body gradually returned to an onion appearance and fell into a deep sleep.
Shura showed a weird smile and slowly closed his eyes. He didn’t fall asleep, but he entered the consciousness s.p.a.ce.
The Super System.
In the beautiful [Galaxy Territory], Chen Rui was floating in the air.
When Shura appeared, Chen Rui’s closed eyes opened…
“You are here.”
“I’m here.” Shura’s bloodshot eyes narrowed, “Are the next few sentences, ‘you shouldn’t be here, but I’m here anyway?’ There are some interesting scenes in your memory. “
Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Really? In that world, there are many people and things that are worth remembering.”
“Seize the time to remember it as early as possible including everything in this world.” Shura raised a finger, “This is your last moment. I know you deliberately gave up control of your body and wanted to use that holy dragon to exhaust my strength. It’s a pity that your plan is still futile. I have hardly suffered any damage. Now, it’s time to end you completely. This is your last battle.”
Chen Rui nodded, “Yeah, we should really put an end to this.”
“You seem to be particularly calm? Are you already prepared to die?” Shura frowned, “This is not the same as the panic and unwillingness I expected. Could it be you have any trump cards? You’re already inferior to me initially, now you can’t even activate the [Royal Star Transformation]. There is no chance of winning at all.”
“[Royal Star Transformation] is actually just a tool just like the entire Super System, but the biggest reliance is not this, but the original mind.” Chen Rui shook his head, “I thought about a lot of things during this period of time. You’re not an inner demon. In other words, from the moment [Refined Mind] ended, you are no longer an inner demon, but another me. Your power comes from my will, so as long as my will exists, you will never perish. Fighting with you is fighting with my own will. For me, you are not only a threat, but you are also an opportunity that allows me to truly find myself, truly control myself, and truly transcend myself.”
“You seem to understand something, but unfortunately, even this can’t change the fact that I will replace you.” The murderous aura in Shura’s blood red pupils began to intensify, “Since you understand that I’m you, this environment is no longer your ‘home field’. Now die!”
Chen Rui teleported instantaneously and appeared in the distance. Several [Aurora Shots] with destructive power shot out. Shura’s hand formed a knife shape and easily cut the [Aurora Shots] away. The destructive breath all over his body skyrocketed. “The skill of the Super System is useless to me! What’s more, your current state is too weak! Have a look at the real destructive power!”
An asteroid next to him suddenly burned and glowed like a sun. Then, the stars exploded fiercely. The violent explosion almost illuminated the entire [Galaxy Territory]. Those planets with humans could witness the gorgeous color of the supernova.
Under the splendid appearance was the terrifying destruction which was the core of the explosion. All the materials were blasted outward at high speed. The extremely powerful heat and power shook Chen Rui away. If this was not in the Super System, this blow alone could instantly annihilate him into flying ashes.
“The Super System can only be regarded as a dusty jewel in your hands. Fortunately, I will become its master soon.” Shura’s figure appeared ghostly behind Chen Rui. Chen Rui seemed to have unleashed his final potential. His whole body emanated a piercing cold aura. The surrounding stardust and meteorites suddenly stopped floating and began to freeze quickly. “4 seasons territory? You finally use it?” Shura’s sinister laughter echoed in Chen Rui’s ears, “Unfortunately you forgot this kind of [Winter Territory] is originally derived from my destructive power. Will it be useful in front of the source of destruction?”
Chen Rui shook. When Shura’s hands made an embracing gesture, a huge translucent roulette object appeared in the void and formed a black hole-like vortex.
“Wheel of Hera!”
Chen Rui yelled. It was too late to escape. His body was torn by the strong devour force, and gradually became nothingness. His figure stacked with Shura, and the 2 soon merged together.
The whole [Galaxy Territory] was sounded with Shura’s triumphant laugh.
TL: The end? What did Chen Rui comprehend? How did he want to control Shura?
