Chapter 998: Unexpected Good News
After completely solving the crisis in the Golden Bright Underground Palace, Raphael didn’t stay long because of this ‘little character’. According to Chen Rui’s request, Raphael placed him in the border town of the nearby Monto Empire and left.
Since the Holy Ring Badge had expired and Raphael had no item to summon his avatar at the moment, Chen Rui was not willing to give the ‘great credit’ to the Holy Church in vain.
Under the deliberate guise of losing his partner and lover, and considering that the credit was indeed great, Raphael pondered for a moment and finally rewarded him with something.
Brilliant Thunder of Light.
Like the Holy Ring Badge, this was a consumable item, but instead of summoning, it explodes.
Once activated with the steps told by Raphael and given a trace of special Pseudo-G.o.d might, it would unleash terrifying destructive power, especially if ‘Arthur’ would rather die than be threatened by darkness and evil in the future.
It is definitely a good item to save my life and get away from those hard-to-fight foes. In combination with the [Star Gate], it might well turn the tide of the battle.
Perhaps in the future, this good stuff can also be used in the Holy Light Mountain? Well, am I too cruel…
Compared with the earth origin fragment and destroying the main altar, Brilliant Thunder of Light was actually just a bonus. There was another bonus, that was, when witnessing Raphael and Sosbach’s battle, the ancient runes that condensed ‘Throne of Heavenly Sacrifice’ had been completely recorded by [Deep a.n.a.lysis]. Although it was impossible to rely on this to compete with Raphael, as long as the mystery of these runes could be deciphered, he and Zola’s understanding of ancient runes would also go to a higher level.
The ancient runes were called the language of the G.o.ds. Judging from the previous Pseudo-G.o.d battles, there were some traces of ancient runes. It was likely to be a key to unlocking the mystery of ‘might’. It must not be ignored. In fact, Chen Rui and Zola had been comprehending the mystery of ancient runes while training. They had also taught ancient runes to Paglio and others, but this kind of runes was too difficult and profound. Even the poison dragon who had a very high attainment of the Dragon Inscription found it difficult to master.
As for the Brilliant Thunder of Light, Chen Rui still wanted to do a little bit of work. Raphael still had some reservations on this ‘super bomb’, that was, he could stop the explosion of the Brilliant Thunder of Light at any time. This meant that Chen Rui could not activate this thing in front of Raphael. What Chen Rui had to do was to block Raphael’s control, which was not an easy task, but he even a.s.similated Sariel’s Evil Pupil, let alone this little bomb?
Not only that, Chen Rui also wanted to modify the bomb to further enhance its power.
3 hours later.
Storm Island.
The merged state of the Star Conferring Platform was indeed amazing. Zola, Paglio and Dodo had fully recovered their injuries and power after being released. Even Paglio, who was in the most dire state, was no exception. The price was a corresponding number of faith crystals. This ‘huge amount’ was just a drop in the bucket for Chen Rui.
After listening to Chen Rui’s brief description of the ending of the battle in the underground palace, the poison dragon pointed to his nose in astonishment, “You mean I’m already dead?”
“For the sake of the plot. Hehe.” Chen Rui shrugged, “Your part should end. Otherwise, you will steal too much screen time from the protagonist in this script.”
Paglio was naturally used to hearing these strange ‘terms’. He glanced at Zola and sneered coldly, “The problem is, the heroine is also ‘dead’. Let’s just wait for the troll to be trolled to death.”
“What?” Zola asked without responding to the poison dragon’s provocation as if she didn’t hear it clearly.
This sentence made Master Poison Dragon feel a little nervous. Okay, the 2 of you are a team. I will not fight with you.
“Hmph Hmph! I’ll end my part then. I can also get out of Little Betty’s vision and wander around to see if there are any beauties to hook up with. The air of freedom tastes really wonderful…” The poison dragon sat on the ground and exaggeratedly took a few deep breaths, making it clear that he was demonstrating to someone whose wife was watching.
“Then… just take a few breaths of the wonderful air of freedom now.” Chen Rui said regretfully, “Because your Little Betty will be here soon.”
“What did you say?” Paglio bounced as though his a.s.s seemed to be on fire.
“I have used a communication talisman to get in touch with the Golden Estate. Ms. Betty is already on her way to Storm Island. When we get here, we will go back to the Demon Realm together. I need to hand over the earth origin fragment to Moore.”
“Go back to the Demon Realm? That’s fine too!” The sly poison dragon rolled his eyes, “You can’t leave your Ms. Yini alone in the Golden Estate, plus your loyalist knight. Better let Little Betty protect her there.”
“Don’t worry, Zola will disguise as Betty and go to the Golden Estate to protect Yini. Zola is now Demi-G.o.d and with Gueroas’ secret support, even if there is any situation, she can take Yini and Samuel to leave safely.”
The poison dragon was dumbfounded for a while, then he finally roared angrily, “I will fight to death with you!”
The slime on the side ignored the 2 people who were fighting fiercely. The onion produced 11 hands, each holding a golden card, as it shouted excitedly, “Back – to – the – demon – realm!”
Paglio’s struggle could not change the ending. After breathing the air of freedom for a few days, Ms. Betty rushed to Storm Island and Zola went to the Golden Estate. Chen Rui used the Star Conferring Platform to bring along the poison dragon couple and the slime through the [Star Gate] to go back to the Star Point on the Dark Moon Estate.
The light door disappeared. Looking at the familiar courtyard, Chen Rui felt a touch of warmth in his heart.
The yard was very quiet today. By right, even without the poison dragon and Dodo, the scourges like Ms. Black Dragon, the flat-chested loli, and Student Nephew were enough to make the whole yard lively. The little mermaid princess was even more proficient in rubbing salt into the wound. As for the naga girl, she was a very good listener and partic.i.p.ant, so everyone liked her. Of course, the premise of this ‘lively’ was the absence of the cutest daughter, little phoenix. If Darling Duoduo was there, it would not be ‘lively’ but ‘turned upside down’.
The whole house was silent, and there seemed to be no one there. When Chen Rui was about to release the poison dragon and others, he heard footsteps outside.
A familiar figure came in at the door. She was not tall, wearing a long white dress with long golden curly hair. She had a delicate appearance of about 13 years old, and her purple eyes looked smart and beautiful.
This figure reminded Chen Rui of the scene when he was first reborn in the Demon Realm. This was the first woman he met… er, to be precise, the first girl, little girl.
It had been more than 7 years, and the little sister was still the same as the loli back then. She had almost no change. This was also the most distressing fact for this loli.
“Alice.”
Looking at the familiar smile, Alice was stunned for a while, but after a while, she came back to her senses and pounced over, “Brother! You’re back!”
Chen Rui did not evade. Based on past experience, once he avoided it, there would be no tiger pouncing behind him. There were also a series of ‘killing moves’ such as Alice’s throat lock, Alice’s neck strangle, Alice’s hair pull, and loli sitting.
Except for Duoduo, no one could compete with Alice.
Very smoothly, a koala successfully hung on his body.
Feeling the warmth of the girl’s body and the joy from the bottom of her heart, Chen Rui smiled and ruffled her beautiful curly long hair.
“Brother, you are the worst!” The girl hung on him coquettishly and swayed around. If it wasn’t for Chen Rui’s strength, he suspected that his cervical vertebra would develop hyperostosis by the swaying.
“By the way, where did Olypheus, Lalaria and the others go?”
“Adeline and Helen wanted to go back to the Dead Sea some time ago to visit their tribe and relatives. It just happened that Lalaria got a treasure map of the Dead Sea last time, so Olypheus suggested going treasure hunting together. Therefore, they went to the Dead Sea. By the way, your subordinate Vesilna also followed.”
Chen Rui nodded. He instructed Vesilna to follow Lalaria just in case. Although the Dead Sea was dangerous, Adeline and Helen themselves were sea creature tribes. Besides, there were 2 Demi-G.o.d level powerhouses, Lalaria and Vesilna. Hence, this trip shouldn’t be a big problem.
“Alice, why didn’t you go with them?”
Speaking of this, the little loli’s face was full of unhappiness, “Sister didn’t allow me to go, then I secretly wanted to go with them, but I was caught by that bad woman, Manlace.”
Manlace was the strongest maroon lamp spirit. Alice’s full name for her was actually ‘bad woman without clothes’, because she first saw Manlace when Chen Rui successfully resurrected the maroon lamp spirits. The newly resurrected maroon lamp spirits, uh, had no clothes on. What the little loli cared about the most was – another big b.o.o.bs lady!
Manlace was the lamp spirits commander responsible for the safety of Shea and her sister, so to capture the escaped loli was actually doing her duty. Chen Rui did not continue on this topic. He looked at the grumpy Alice and smiled, “I will take you to the Dead Sea when I have time later. By the way, why didn’t I see Kia and the others. Is Athena in the palace now?”
“You only think about them…” Alice suddenly remembered something, and her big eyes suddenly turned red, “Athena, Athena…”
The more the little loli thought, the sadder she was. Tears rolled down her cheeks, startling Chen Rui, “Alice? What’s wrong with Athena?”
“Little princess, why are you walking so fast…” The voice of the little succubus maid sounded from the door. The little succubus also heard Alice’s cry, so she walked in quickly, just in time to see Chen Rui.
Chen Rui also saw Kia and… Little Duoduo in her arms.
“Daddy!” The little phoenix sensed daddy’s breath as she approached the yard, so she immediately broke free from Kia’s embrace and flew toward Chen Rui. Soon, there was another young little loli around his neck. At the same time, there were many drool marks on his face.
Chen Rui kissed his daughter, but Darling Duoduo disliked his spiky beard and pulled his hair in dissatisfaction.
The little succubus maid came over and smiled, “You are back.”
“En.” Chen Rui leaned forward and kissed the succubus’s face with 2 lolis hanging on it, “Kia, what happened to Athena?”
Hearing Athena’s name, there was a bit of special resentment in the succubus’ eyes.
“Okay, little princess, come down first. Duoduo, you and Sister Alice will play for a while. Aunt Kia and daddy will come to the side to talk a bit.”
The 2 big and little loli showed their dissatisfaction at the same time. Chen Rui only knew something happened to Athena, so he quickly coaxed Alice and Duoduo before he followed Kia to the side.
“You and Athena…”
Chen Rui was a little anxious with the hesitant look of the little succubus, “Kia, speak up if you have something to say!”
Kia finally made up her mind, “The night before you brought Zola and the others to the human world, did you and Athena… do ‘that’?”
Chen Rui was taken aback, “Why would you ask this question?”
“Answer quickly!”
“Uh, yes.” Chen Rui scratched his head. Wasn’t it Athena’s turn that day?
“Do you still remember… What poses did you 2 use?” The little succubus bit her lip, and she actually took out a small notebook to record.
“Ah?” Chen Rui showed a strange expression. What kind of question is this?
The questions that follow were even more outrageous, including whether other ‘pa.s.sages’ were used, how many times of ‘papapa‘, whether the total was odd or even, and other embarra.s.sing questions.
Facing the curious and serious gossip succubus reporter, Chen Rui was completely speechless. Judging from Kia’s appearance, Athena shouldn’t be in any danger.
“About Chen Rui… um,” The little succubus maid whispered to his ear with a blus.h.i.+ng face, “Let’s follow the steps you and her did last time tonight, okay? No, every night. Is that okay?”
With that said, the little succubus actually stretched out her tongue and licked his ears. This kind of seduction talent made Chen Rui not only s.h.i.+ver, but he also had the urge to punish this succubus on the spot — Hey, of course it’s okay to ask for a s.e.x, but you should pay attention to not influence Alice and Duoduo. They are still there…
“Tell me first, what’s wrong with Athena?” Chen Rui’s voice was a little loud, and Alice in the distance heard it. The Royal Highness Little Princess had stopped crying, and was p.r.i.c.king up her ears to eavesdrop. When Kia and Chen Rui were intimate, her heart was a little sour, then when she heard the word ‘Athena’, she even burst into tears.
Seeing Alice crying, Little Phoenix Duoduo joined in the fun and started crying.
“Brother doesn’t want me anymore!” (Crying…)
“Daddy doesn’t want Duoduo anymore!” (Cooperating with crying…)
“Athena is going to be a mother, and I’m still single!” (Wailing…)
“Aunt Athena has a baby, daddy doesn’t want Duoduo anymore!” (Cooperating with wailing…)
“…”
Chen Rui stared at the 2 lolis who were hugging and crying, then at the succubus who was full of resentment and envy. He finally realized what happened to Athena.
What a surprisingly… great news!
