Chapter 1148: Unfinished

Water Badge, or Illusive Demon Shield.

Strictly speaking, the individual 7 artifacts could only be regarded as quasi-artifacts, but in some respects, even artifacts might not rival them.

Compared with the 5 recognized ‘7 artifacts’ (the Dark Shadow Cape had not been successful so far), the Illusive Demon Shield had a single function, which was defense. Unlike the protection of the Wrath King Armor, it was the strongest shield in the true sense. It resisted and weakened all forms of attack, including the soul attack.

In addition, it had a chance to reflect the opponent’s attack and convert the opponent’s attack power to his own stamina. This kind of reflection or conversion was less likely to occur when facing stronger attacks, but its defense was also stronger.

Chen Rui could defend the [Holy Spirit Requiem] was not just the credit of the Illusive Demon Shield, but the strength of his own soul was the most important thing. After getting the Siren’s Heart from Helen, his soul was twice stronger than before.

The special effect of the Siren’s Heart lies in the soul buff. The stronger the foundation, the higher the degree of fusion with the Siren’s Heart, the more obvious the effect. In this regard, Chen Rui really had to thank the little mermaid princess, otherwise he would already be annihilated in the Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area.

In addition, Chen Rui also had the Wrath King Armor and the God-Eating Mask that isolated the soul control. In terms of equipment, he indeed had a lot of advantages. Raphael burned his might to launch the strongest blow desperately, but Chen Rui just took it without damage.

Looking at the shield that disappeared in Chen Rui’s hands, Raphael suddenly remembered that Michael had vaguely mentioned that the demon who stole the Wind Badge with Python could activate the Earth Badge. I witnessed it just now. Before that, this person also used the Light Badge. Now it’s the Water Badge!

Is it…

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of a saying before. It’s rude not to repay one’s kindness.”

This sound turned Raphael’s suspicion into vigilance immediately. Chen Rui started to move.

Every step he took, the starlight on his body became more and more dazzling. At the same time, every place he passed turned into bright stars.

Before he walked to Raphael, there was already a vast sea of ​​stars behind him.

Raphael’s shock toward this sea of ​​stars was simply incomparable – Endless faith power, indescribable powerful life force. It is actually far above the ‘dark galaxy’ activated by Python before!

Of course, although the power was powerful, it was obviously still far from the real power of God. However, Raphael had an almost absurd ‘illusion’ – It is the Kingdom of God!

Even with the strongest soul might, Raphael still couldn’t hold the trembling from the depths of his soul. The incredible power displayed by this former ‘rat’ had already shattered the pride of him, the archangel.

Not only Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Python also felt the terrifyingness of that vast galaxy.

If Michael was shocked when he witnessed Python’s Song of Darkness before, then this time was an unprecedented shock!

It turns out that it was not me who was the ‘closest to God’, not Python too, but ‘him’!

That’s right. Must be ‘him’!

This person who should have disappeared, when he reappeared in front of me, actually far surpasses me.

One more time!

Michael clenched his fist so hard that his entire arm began to vibrate slightly.

Gabriel’s breath seemed to be burning, but the Holy Song Sword showed the opposite coldness.

Python’s eyes shone brightly. Although she had sparred with him before, this was the first time she had seen such a move from Chen Rui. This should be the strongest killing move that gathered the ‘power of the worlds’ that defeated Dillosro back then!

Due to the fact that the power above Demi-God could not be used in the Ghastly Floating Land during the battle of Sariel, Chen Rui did not activate it. Now I can finally witness ‘him’ who has the power of the peak of the Pseudo-God launches this move in the strongest form!

This move was not only the power of Chen Rui himself and the ‘worlds’, but also the power of 18 ‘world gods’, including Python herself!

In the sea of ​​​​stars, dozens of the brightest areas appear faintly, all of which were composed of special stars. They seemed to be some special patterns.

Raphael found that the same pattern that Python used to fight Michael was also in it.

The increasingly strong sense of crisis told Raphael that he might not be able to take this move, even if he had the [Body of Light Recovery]!

Escape!

Even if it is embarrassing, I must save my life!

However, Raphael was horrified to find that he had lost the ability to dodge or shift. It was not a simple might lock, but a feeling similar to irresistible. It was somewhat similar to the phantasms shown by Michael before, but far more than that feeling – What this galaxy contains is not only ‘might’, but almost close to the real supreme… ‘authority’!

That’s the power that only God has!

When Chen Rui raised his hand slowly, Raphael seemed to feel imminent death. Cold sweat slowly flowed down from his forehead.

There was no anger or calm in his eyes. For the first time, he feared this enemy.

At this moment, Gabriel’s mighty voice containing Saint Fighting Heart suddenly sounded, “10 minutes are up!”

Chen Rui’s footsteps paused. He turned his head and glanced at Gabriel and Michael, who were on guard, then he looked at Python. After thinking about it, the galaxy scene behind him gradually faded and disappeared.

This move was not launched after all.

Raphael secretly breathed a sigh of relief and found that his body was soaked in cold sweat. His first reaction now was not anger, but relief. If it weren’t for this 10-minute time limit, he himself didn’t know what the result would be.

The broken star armor on Chen Rui’s body had completely disappeared, and he had recovered to the original ‘ant-level’ strength, but no one dared to underestimate him.

“Now, can we trade?” Chen Rui asked Gabriel. In fact, with the current level of comprehension for [Purple Pole Star Transformation], as long as the strength allowed, he could activate it again at any time, so he was not afraid of 3 archangels turning hostile again.

“It’s you.” Michael stared at Chen Rui who was walking up the grandstand step by step, “You actually reappeared!”

“Me?” Chen Rui looked at Michael’s expression as he sighed secretly, “Although it’s futile to explain, I still want to say, you have mistaken me for another person.”

“Now, who else do you want to fool?” Raphael said bitterly, “The Light Badge, Wind Badge, Earth Badge, and Water Badge just now, are they all illusions?”

Gabriel looked Chen Rui in the eyes, “Or should I say, what are you trying to escape?”

“What escape… It’s actually possible that you have identified the wrong person.” Python’s voice sounded, but her tone changed quickly, “There is also a possibility that this person no longer remembers the past. At least he hasn’t remembered yet now.”

Although Python was talking about ‘2’ possibilities, it was obvious that she had directly stamped the latter’s seal on Chen Rui. Compared with ‘identified the wrong person’, the second hypothesis was obviously much more ‘reasonable’. Especially for Michael and Gabriel, the reason for this kind of ‘recovery’ of strength was easier to accept than direct training, which could also explain why this enemy could rapidly increase his strength, and his strength had grown from an insignificant ant to faintly surpassing everyone else.

“His memory may be temporarily lost, but his strength is not.” Python said indifferently, “I think there is no need to argue about boring topics such as qualifications now.”

Michael snorted. Even if other factors are not considered, with the strength shown by Python and Chen Rui, even if the 3 archangels join forces, we may not be able to kill them. At best, it’s a lose-lose situation. Snatching the Snow Dallet Trees back from him is a joke, let alone there is a contract.

It’s all in vain. Chen Rui didn’t even bother to explain that he was not someone as he spoke up, “So, can we trade now?”

The 3 archangels exchanged quick glances. Gabriel had a small blue transparent bottle in her hand and threw it at Chen Rui, “This is the Phantom Ice Spring. I want to know, what are you going to do with it?”

“3 years ago, the Water Elemental King assisted me in defeating Dillosro’s main altar. At that time, the main altar was close to its final form. As a result, the Water Elemental King’s elemental heart broke because of it. I needed the Phantom Ice Spring to repair his elemental heart.”

“Water Elemental King? Water Elemental Messenger?” Michael suddenly showed a strange smile, “How ironic that you are going to bet with us for an elemental messenger. Fate is really ironic…”

“I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Chen Rui took the small bottle and put it in the storage warehouse.

“Looks like you really don’t remember anything.” Gabriel pondered for a moment before asking, “If I told you that sooner or later, the elemental messenger and the world of elements will become your worst enemy, would you still do it?”

“Why not? I just think that it should be done now. As for the other messy reasons, I don’t take it into consideration.” Chen Rui shrugged, “Also, I don’t like things like ‘Fate’. “

“Shameless.” Gabriel closed her eyes again, “Now hand over the Snow Dallet Trees.”

There was a flash of light beside Chen Rui, and 2 5-meter-high trees had appeared. They were surrounded by a faint mist and had green leaves and crystal-clear white flowers. They were really the Snow Dallet Trees.

“2?” Michael’s facial expression became a little displeased, “There is 1 more!”

“Our contract only states the Snow Dallet Tree without the specific quantity,” Chen Rui thought for a while, and he said casually, “Actually, I have used that tree long ago. I needed to use it to restore strength at that time. That’s the real reason I sneaked into the Divinity Seal Summit in the first place.”

The Snow Dallet Tree was an S-level faith creature, which could reduce the demand for all star positions on the Star Conferring Platform by 30%, increase the effect by 30%, and increase the daily generation of faith crystals in the kingdom by 30%.

Even 1 tree had the same effect, so Chen Rui deliberately withheld 1. The 3 archangels deliberately used ‘qualification’ to make things difficult, trying to force him to hand over the Snow Dallet Trees unconditionally. Chen Rui’s means was also considered ‘reciprocity’.

The contract did not specify ‘3 trees’, so Michael had to accept the 2 Snow Dallet Trees. In fact, it was still because of the powerful strength shown by Chen Rui and Python, otherwise it would be a problem for them to leave safely, let alone bargain.

Although they were a little unsatisfied, no matter what, the loss and recovery of the Snow Dallet Trees finally solved the most troublesome problem of the Holy Church. Michael said with a sullen face, “Now that the deal has been completed, you can go. The next time we meet, I will not be so polite.”

“For the first time, we have a common idea.” Python waved her hand indifferently, “Goodbye, God’s most ‘loyal’ subordinates.”

“Hmph, everyone is smart. This irony will only show your own shallowness,” Although Raphael still had some fear in the mind, his momentum would definitely not show weakness. He pointed to Chen Rui, “If we are blasphemers, what is he?”

“Me?” Chen Rui was verbally attacked inexplicably.

Did Raphael overhear the rhetoric that I was going to have sex with the destiny goddess?

Michael didn’t stop on this topic, and he said coldly, “There’s no point in fighting with your mouth. Next time, talk with your fists.”

Gabriel closed her eyes and remained silent. Even at the last moment of stepping into the [Star Gate], Chen Rui could still feel that she was ‘looking’ at him all the time.

It was a strange ‘look’, neither hatred nor flirtatious feeling. Chen Rui couldn’t describe that feeling. He only vaguely sensed a hint of sadness.

TL: That’s all? Thought they would form an alliance of something… Elementals are his worst enemy, not Abyss?
