Devil’s Son-in-Law

A considerable part of Chen Rui’s [Deep Analysis] was reserved for the ‘Tower of Glory’. As long as he didn’t forcibly activate the Tower of Glory, his current S++ spirit power could still be used relatively freely for [Deep Analysis].

This ancient runes world was not static; it constantly circulated and changed just like a huge living creature. For Chen Rui who had mastered the basics of ancient runes, it was undoubtedly a huge treasure house. However, what he had to do now was not to learn the knowledge of this treasure house, but to find his companion and the goal of this trip as soon as possible.

Although he didn’t know why Tiffany stayed in this place for more than a month, it was certain that after about a few hours, this knowledge treasure house would become the most terrifying hell.

Chen Rui took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to analyze and identify the changing trajectory of the ancient runes around him. Red Pipit has just disappeared, but there is no trace of it like a drop of water in the vast sea. However, the runes changes earlier were probably left by Tiffany who entered the world 40 days ago. Tiffany must have caused some amazing changes.

Now it is impossible to find the location of Red Pipit. I can only find some links by following the traces that Tiffany left.

Chen Rui’s [Deep Analysis] had reached its limit, and those incomprehensible sentences were quickly ‘copied’ by [Deep Analysis] as it searched for possible matches in memory and understanding at a high speed. Although there were still some errors, he had implicitly understood part of the meaning.

Just like a primary school student, although he did not know many words when reading a novel of interest, he could still approximately understand the general meaning of the novel.

Following this ‘approximate’ feeling, Chen Rui carefully walked forward step by step. The ‘transparent ladder’ in the [Analytical Eyes] was actually a section of the cyclical conditional handle. If this cyclical conditional handle combined with alchemy were used in the real world, it was very possible to create quite wonderful things.

Chen Rui did not have such extra thoughts as he was just trying to digest and recognize the mystery of the world’s origin, runes, to look for traces that might be left by Tiffany. For the world of runes, it was as if a person’s wound was slowly healing. Many of them had been assimilated. Moreover, the entire world was not static but changing all the time, which added a lot of difficulty to Chen Rui, who was originally an ‘outsider’.

Unknowingly, 2 hours had passed. Chen Rui came to a frustrating conclusion. If this search continued, it would be difficult to find results even for a few days. There was not much time left for him. If Red Pipit did not use the cloak power to escape out, then this trip even affected Octopus King, so he had to take a risk.

What Chen Rui had to do was to use the [Deep Analysis]’s understanding of ancient runes, use his strength to make a certain impact on the world, and find the clues he wanted to find. Simply put, he would act as a’ virus’ to invade this computer.

A physical golden rune appeared in Chen Rui’s hand and slowly flew toward a node that he had been studying for a long time.

This rune seemed to be only the size of a palm, but it condensed all his strength. The golden rune quickly blended into the rune of that node. 1 minute had passed, 2 minutes, 3 minutes… half an hour had passed, but nothing happened yet.

Chen Rui reluctantly gave up waiting. As he was about to move forward, there were a few rays of golden lights in his sight. The golden color of the node spread around like a spider web.

Although it was nothing more than a trivial movement compared to the whole world, it was enough to surprise Chen Rui. He didn’t move rashly. He immediately put on the pair of magic glasses, and saw that the world in the glasses changed strangely. An intermittent passage appeared in front of him. Chen Rui knew that the strength of the rune just now was limited and this passage could not be maintained for a long time, so he walked in immediately.

Each section of the passage was another sub-world. Chen Rui shuttled for a while, feeling that the ‘wound’ caused by a certain strength to the big world became more and more obvious. Finally, he saw a floating figure in the air.

Judging from the figure, this was a woman whose whole body exuded a black and white light. With that light, the night and day in the space were constantly changing, and a powerful repulsive force radiated out. With Chen Rui’s current strength, he actually couldn’t get close.

Tiffany? Chen Rui couldn’t clearly see the woman’s specific appearance. The distance between the 2 was about 1 kilometer, but there were actually 2 different spaces. The repulsive force that Chen Rui sensed came from the junction of the spaces. It contained pure destruction law power which was shocking.

Chen Rui had already sensed that his previous golden rune power was about to disappear. It is very likely that this space will also disappear in the sense due to the change. I have already reached this point; I can’t return with nothing. He took a deep breath, and a trace of blood flashed across his eyes as he had switched to ‘Shura Mode’.

Shura, who was annihilated in the battle with Teris, had long been reborn. As long as Chen Rui, the original body, did not die, the avatar could be reborn infinitely. The price was a lot of aura and the corresponding time.

If the avatar did not leave the original body, Chen Rui could directly ‘utilize’ the ability, but if the avatar was separated, it couldn’t be activated.

A huge black hole appeared in front of him. This move was the [Star Devouring] that combined the power of Shura’s devour. Its power was far above the normal mode of [Star Devouring]. Chen Rui jumped into the black hole and they merged into one. In an instant, the pure destructive breath all around rushed into the black hole frantically, and the edge of the void gradually solidified into a translucent entity like glass.

As the destructive breath greatly weakened, a crack appeared in the ‘glass’, and the crack spread quickly. With a ‘bang’, the 2 spaces merged into 1. The black and white light on the woman’s body quickly dimmed. Her distance from Chen Rui suddenly got closer, just tens of meters away.

Chen Rui, who had retracted the black hole, saw it clearly. No doubt it was Tiffany, but her eyes were closed tightly; she seemed to be unconscious.

At this moment, an extremely dangerous omen surged in Chen Rui’s mind, and the glasses that should give the warning sign later flashed a warning red light. Before Chen Rui could react, the peaceful world around him instantly boiled, and the indescribable violent breath burst pit. In the blink of an eye, it had spread all over the world.

Tiffany’s body was wrapped in the breath and slowly became blurred.

Chen Rui was so pressured by the breath that he couldn’t move, nor could he crush the lock of the cloak to escape. He could only watch Tiffany’s figure disappear little by little under the breath.

“Boom!” The magic glasses shattered. the specific content could no longer be seen in the frantically changing ancient runes, but he could feel the increasingly strong intent: Death! Annihilation!

Chen Rui’s vision was blurred because of the growing berserk power. even his body had almost lost consciousness, only his spirit and soul were struggling to resist. In this case, even if he could barely activate the [Star Gate], he couldn’t get in at all.

This pressure had far surpassed any kingdom-level powerhouse that Chen Rui had encountered. It even surpassed his Dragon Emperor, old father-in-law, Auglas!

With this kind of absolute gap, even if Chen Rui could activate [Pole Star Transformation], he was definitely not an opponent.

The berserk and restless rune world gradually subsided. As his vision began to recover, he saw a huge eye in the center of the space.

Chen Rui had fought against Isyorul who had a ‘third eye’, and he had also seen Auglas’ [Dragon God Eyes] as well as Rodriguez used the light elements and dark elements origin fragment to condense into gold and silver pupils in the Tower of Destruction. However, these ‘eye powers’ added up were still inferior to this eye.

Compared with the previous berserk breath, this eye exuded a relatively serene strength, but this ‘serenity’ gave people a stronger sense of suffocation.

There was no information in the [Analytical Eyes]. Obviously, the distance between this eye and him was farther than imagined. The pupil of the eye was black and crystal clear. The gaze was very indifferent. Chen Rui instinctively felt that as long as the ‘eye’ had a slight thought, it could annihilate him instantly. What a terrifying strength this is.

If according to Teris, the gods have fallen asleep, then this level of strength should be infinitely close to god… Pseudo-God!

“Whose believer are you?” A sound that penetrated into his soul sounded in Chen Rui’s mind, as if from a deep hell.

“Revered powerhouse, please forgive me for being presumptuous. My name is Aguile. I was commissioned by the Bloody Empire’s Lord Raizen to come here to bring back the noble lady Ms. Tiffany of Mammon Royal Family.” Chen Rui used the [Analytical Eyes] to reply with spirit power.

“Ignorant ant! No matter how advanced your hiding skills are, that kind of light-element physique still can’t hide from the eyes of the real powerhouse! The [Body of Light Blessing]… no! I saw something purer than the [Body of Light Blessing]… Hmph! Are you the Pope or the Pope’s inheritor of the Holy Church? Or should I say, what is the plan of that damn conspirator Michael?”

Chen Rui was shocked as he didn’t expect the other party to actually see through the skills of the Super System’s [Breath Holding] and [Camouflage], directly revealing his [Body of Light Glory]. Moreover, the ‘eye’ spoke out the name of Michael, the head of the 3 archangels on the ground without hesitation. It must be the Pseudo-God powerhouse of the same level.

There is actually a Pseudo-God powerhouse hidden in the Bloody Empire’s mechanics association most mysterious 4th floor, the world of active ancient runes. This truth is really shocking!

Chen Rui thought about it, and said quickly, “Please allow me to explain, sir…”

“My name Sariel…you may have heard my name before.” The voice of the ‘eye’ revealed a fluctuation that made one’s soul tremble, “Your kind of soul reborn tricks is not worth mentioning in front of my Evil Pupil! Now, answer my question right away! If you play tricks again, I will turn your soul into nothingness!”

TL: Sariel? Another angel?
