Devil's Son-in-Law-Chapter 1209: Hope

Abyss.

The biggest problem.

The war between the 2 worlds, that has been going on for years and took away countless life, is actually to seal the Abyss!

Originally, in Chen Rui’s guess, the location of the seal of the Abyss should be in the elemental world, but today the truth of the seal had finally been revealed. Then, what was sealed in the elemental world…

Chen Rui faintly understood something. A part of the fog covering more truth seemed to be cleared away.

It’s not entirely because Python or other people are trying to keep it secret. Judging from the situation when Moore first revealed the secret of the elemental world, some things are affected by some kind of intangible ‘rule’. Once it is spoken, one would annihilate like Moore back then.

“If you want to show your strength, your goal has already been achieved, but if you want to stop war or contract, no matter what your goal is, you are the enemy of the whole world and a sinner.” Raphael said with a sneer, “Your strength is indeed astonishing. In a 1vs1, none of us is your opponent, but don’t get too carried away. If we 3 archangels use the fusion kingdom secret technique to activate [Oracle Formation], we are absolutely sure to suppress you! “

[Oracle Formation]? Chen Rui frowned slightly. After showing such strength, Raphael actually still has such confidence?

“You won’t have a chance for that.” Python’s voice sounded. At the same time, the figures of Python and Zola appeared beside Chen Rui. Python’s breath locked on Gabriel and Zola’s breath locked on Raphael.

Chen Rui’s eyes flickered. It seems that this [Oracle Formation] is indeed powerful beyond imagination, otherwise Python would not have acted like this. The [Oracle Formation] should also have a flaw that is easy to be broken before it is successfully activated.

“This battle is meaningless.” Satan said, “Actually, you should know how much more important the lives sacrificed in the war of the 2 worlds are compared to the whole world. If your strength is only what you just showed, then I can tell you unceremoniously, just like us, your strength is not enough to change the result; let alone afford the consequences of failure.”

This sentence made Chen Rui silent. The Abyss was the biggest enemy. He joined forces with Satan to destroy the Despair Main Altar. If it wasn’t for Helen’s Siren’s Heart, his soul would have been completely destroyed by the power of Despair Lord Dillosro’s avatar. That was just Dillosro’s projection. According to Python, the Lord of Despair is only the weakest among the 3 rulers of the Abyss.

Although Chen Rui’s strength was far from what it was back then, even Satan and Michael were not his opponents, but from what Satan said just now, even Chen Rui’s current strength could not rival the 3 rulers.

What was more, under the command of the 3 rulers, there was an endless army of the Abyss!

“This is a painful choice, but a choice that has to be made.” Auglas spoke in the distance. Although he was only at the intermediate stage of the Pseudo-God, compared with those at the peak stage of the Pseudo-God, he knew better the character of this prospective son-in-law.

This man possessed incredible strength, and there were also things in his mind that should be superfluous to powerhouses. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to achieve that incredible level, and because of this, Auglas was very relieved to keep his 2 daughters by his side.

Chen Rui clenched his fists. Satan and Auglas are right, even if I have the ability to forcibly stop the war of the 2 worlds, I can’t bear the consequences of failure. I can’t accept the fact that such innocent people die because of war, but I can only accept it.

Powerlessness.

A strong sense of powerlessness.

Chen Rui looked at the surrounding super powerhouses and sighed as the starlight all over his body dimmed. The moment the light disappeared, he also disappeared.

Zola frowned and followed him, along with Paglio and others. Lalaria thought about it before leaving too. Only Python remained there.

“Too many entanglements; too many scruples.” Michael looked indifferently at the direction where Chen Rui disappeared, “Ridiculously weak.”

“That’s right, he has all the power but lacks absolute dedication to strength.” Satan rarely agreed with Michael’s opinion.

“Maybe it’s another kind of attachment that we don’t understand.” Gabriel’s eyes closed again.

Python’s lips moved, but she didn’t say anything. Her figure gradually faded.

“Another person who is bound by something meaningless.” Raphael looked at the disappearing Python and sneered.

“She has never let go… But these are not important to me.” Satan said with a long smile, “It doesn’t matter if the whole world perishes, as long as I become a god, he, she, and you all are just a stepping stone for me.”

“Don’t get complacent too early.” Michael sneered coldly, “There will be a battle sooner or later between you and me, but this time the appearance of the ‘door’ may be strange, so we should finish the most important thing first.”

The golden contract appeared again. This time, no one raised any objections.

Chen Rui left the light beam, flew aimlessly for a while, landed on a mountain, and looked ahead silently.

There was a sudden fluctuation in his consciousness. The figure of Python appeared in the Galaxy Divinity Temple of the Super System, the soul avatar.

“The main plane is like a core, and the periphery is the eternal protective enchantment laid by God’s power. Any power that is not allowed is excluded from the enchantment.”

“However, due to the fall of the Gods, eternity no longer exists. The infinite becomes finite. We can only sacrifice life force to fill the enchantment for protection. Not only the power is greatly reduced, but continuous sacrifice is required.”

“The ‘door’ is a warning sign that the power of the enchantment is approaching exhaustion, so there must be a war.”

“But one day, the ‘door’ that loses eternity will collapse. This time, the early appearance of the door shows that the tension of the enchantment has exceeded the normal situation. Sacrifice is inevitable. War is the most suitable method. Otherwise, it can only be done by us, direct massacre.”

“You can’t change; you can only accept. Unless you can have the determination to destroy everything…”

“Or the power that overrides everything…”

After saying these few sentences, Python disappeared.

In these words, there was no farewell, but Chen Rui knew that this was a farewell.

She left.

Python fulfilled her promise. She helped Athena give birth to a child safely, and now she chose to leave.

Maybe we will see each other soon, maybe it will be a long time, or maybe never.

Just like a certain lyric, there is a kind of meeting, it is better not to meet.

Chen Rui looked at Python’s name in the ‘link’ for a long time, but he didn’t cancel it in the end.

Zola followed Chen Rui far away and didn’t bother him.

The others who came one after another were all stopped by the fairy dragon. She just nodded to Catherine. Although the fairy dragon really wanted to be by Chen Rui’s side, she knew very well that Catherine was the most suitable guide for him who was caught in conflict and pain.

Catherine flew to Chen Rui’s side, but she didn’t speak. She just stood side by side with him, watching his gaze.

“All this n front of me…” Chen Rui finally spoke half a sentence.

Catherine agreed with him, then she continued, “You don’t want to see these things turn into ashes of destruction, but you also can’t accept the cruelty of sending countless innocent lives to the altar yourself.”

“Myself… Yes.” Chen Rui looked at his hand, “I have the power to stop it, but I can’t stop it, it’s because of my own hands.”

“Before I ascended to the throne, my 2 elder brothers… were annihilated under the ambush I planned. No one survived.” Catherine also looked at her hands, “My only remaining younger brother was killed by me on the battlefield. I beheaded him with my own hands. The moment I killed him, what came to my mind was the scene when I held his hand and told him stories when I was a child. At that moment, I only felt an unprecedented weakness and wanted to throw away the sword in my hands. I burst into tears, but I did not shed tears. I raised the sword with blood and accepted the cheers of the soldiers as well as the surrender of the enemies.”

Chen Rui held Catherine’s hand as Catherine’s eyes were full of tears. Her tone was still calm, “For me, they are my last siblings, but for the Dark Shadow Empire, they are the source of turmoil. If I don’t kill them, I won’t pacify the empire, and more people’s siblings will die. I don’t even remember how many times I woke up crying in my dreams, curled up alone, and trembling in loneliness and pain. I even wanted to give up my own life. However, when faced with the throne that controls life and death as well as the joy and sorrow of the entire empire, I turned back to the ruthless empress. Many of them are actually innocent, but for the sake of the entire empire, I had no choice.”

“Catherine…” Chen Rui held Catherine’s hand a little tighter.

Catherine leaned lightly on his shoulder, “I have hoped and imagined more than once that my father was not poisoned by my eldest brother, and my brothers would not rebel because of fighting for the throne. I was still a princess who was loved by my father and elder brothers and admired by my younger brother. I can no longer hide my loneliness and fear with a mask. I can rely on a strong arm, hold his hand, and share each other’s pain and happiness…”

“I understand what you mean.” Chen Rui let go of his hand and gently embraced Catherine’s waist. Some of her hopes would never come true, but some had already been realized. Because this was hope.

“We can suffer because of reality, but we must not lose hope.” Tiffany also came to the side, “This is what you once said to me.”

Hope.

In order to protect all hope, burn everything and fight.

This was the oath in his mind.

Whether he was sad or decadent crying, this oath would not change.

Chen Rui nodded and held Tiffany’s hand. Ms. Fairy Dragon coughed deliberately from behind. Chen Rui and the 2 Royal Majesty Empress looked at each other and smiled as they turned around, opened their arms, and gave Zola a hug.

Chen Rui looked at the people in the distance, felt the warmth enveloping his heart, and felt confidence and determination again.

“Stronger power; power that overrides everything…” Chen Rui took a deep breath and raised his head as if there was a strange ‘eye’ looking at him in the air. (Note: Previously it was translated as a pair of eyes, but now reverting to ‘eye’.
