Chapter 1203: Choice

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The title of ‘incredible Soul Existence’ made Chen Rui feel secretly awe-inspiring.

As for ‘question’, there were simply too many in his mind.

The ‘video’ just now could raise many shocking and mysterious questions: The reason why the giant beings fight, the 7 split of light streams, the ‘eyes’ in the sky…

However, he could only ask 1 now.

What should I ask?

Chen Rui thought quickly, and he finally asked the question.

“Sir Lucifer… why do you exist in me?”

The rest of the secrets could be discovered. This question that was closely related to Chen Rui was the most important thing, and it was also what he had always been afraid of.

This question actually implied several layers of meaning: Are you Lucifer? Do you exist in my body? Why do you exist? What do you want?

The man obviously understood what Chen Rui meant, and he said implicitly, “I should be the one who askes why do you exist in my body?”

Chen Rui narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean? If you want to brush off my question or dare not tell the truth, I can give up the question and will find the answer myself.”

This tone was quite impolite. Even Gabriel couldn’t help but raise her brows, but the man didn’t think it was annoying. He remained indifferent, “The ‘body’ I’m talking about is not your human body, but the Seven Badges of the Beginning and End!”

Seven Badges of the Beginning and End! This strange name immediately made Chen Rui react… The 7 artifacts?

The man spoke up, “The Seven Badges of the Beginning and End is what you know as the 7 artifacts. They are related to a taboo power that overrides everything. I believe you have seen it in the previous illusion. At the same time. They also hide another secret that is closely related to me. Each badge contains my soul fragments! Therefore, the 7 artifacts will continue to select the most suitable recognition for bloodliners. These recognized ones will also give back part of the power of the bloodline to the 7 badges when they activate them. If this goes on like this, one day, I will be able to awaken and replenish the soul fragments after accumulating enough power, so as to obtain a real awakening. It is a pity that things are unpredictable. I met you. After you got the Earth Badge, it should have been rejected… However, as I said, you have an ‘incredible’ soul power, which directly awakens that part of the soul fragment! What makes me even more in disbelief is that my soul fragment is actually being suppressed by you. You can even use a special fusion method to forcibly control the Earth Badge! At that time, your strength was unbelievably low, not to mention the kingdom, you don’t even have the comprehension of territory!”

As soon as this sentence was blurted out, Gabriel was the most surprised. An ant who didn’t even comprehend the territory power, was able to suppress the soul fragments of ‘him’ and forcibly use the 7 artifacts! What is this concept?

As one of the ‘insiders’ back then, Gabriel was very clear – The Seven Badges of the Beginning and End are the most special existences. Except for ‘him’, even God cannot directly use it!

Chen Rui also finally understood that the ‘recognition’ of the 7 artifacts had this kind of secret in it! As for the ‘unbelievable’ method the other party mentioned, he was well aware of it: [Deep Analysis] of the Super System!

The question is: Does Lucifer know about the Super System?

The man’s voice continued, “There is one thing you may not have thought of, that is, the more you merge the fragments of the Seven Badges of the Beginning and End, the more complete my soul will be. When you gathered the 7 badges, my soul was finally awakened with the help of the Tree of Nature, but unfortunately, due to the serious shortage of absorbed bloodline power, this kind of awakening was actually forcibly exhausting my power. It was dangerous, and I might be devoured by you at any time. Until… I met Rafferty in the elemental world.”

“Rafferty!” Gabriel was taken aback.

“Her soul fragments… have been completely annihilated. With the help of the Tree of Nature, I converted part of her Godhood power, avoided the danger of soul annihilation, and bought a little more time.”

“You actually killed Rafferty and took part of her Godhood?” Gabriel’s facial expression paled.

“It’s my choice, Tezaneer. It’s also her choice.” There was a hint of sadness in the man’s eyes, “Her resurrection wasn’t conscious; it was just passive and spontaneous… Most importantly, this world doesn’t need God.”

“Destruction and creation origin are combined into a unit, so you are the most suitable body.” The man’s gaze returned to Chen Rui, “Perhaps in destiny, we have some inexplicable connection long ago. For example, descendant. More precisely, daughter.”

The last word was another huge shock to Chen Rui. He suddenly thought of Duoduo’s ‘Heart of Divine Blessing’ and Python’s misunderstanding of Duoduo. It turned out that the little phoenix’s God’s descendant bloodline inheritance is actually derived from…

“Daughter?” Gabriel couldn’t help asking.

Just as Chen Rui was about to speak, the man continued, “It’s a pity that my soul power is too weak. Even if I possess your body, my strength will be greatly reduced. I can’t recover in a short time. Therefore, Alucier and I had a bet. In the end, I lost to you and also to Alucier. I still haven’t been able to understand what kind of existence you are, but you have already comprehended the existence of yourself. Therefore, the meaning of my existence can also be changed.”

So far, many mysteries in Chen Rui’s mind have finally been solved – It turns out that the experience in the mirror world is a bet of possession of my body. If I can’t comprehend the meaning of life, I will be imprisoned in the mirror world forever. Lucifer’s soul will possess my body!

It should be Alucier and Lucifer who co-activated the mirror world!

So, when Alucier gave me the ‘wood’ card, it was not only to save the Tree of Nature, but also for Lucifer’s reborn?

But why is there still a bet in the mirror world?

At this point, the man’s figure slowly faded. He looked at Kilanya, “Daughter of Alucier, doesn’t your father have something to give to him?”

Thinking of her father’s original instructions, Kilanya woke up. She quickly took out a small box and handed it to Chen Rui, “This is the last thing my father left you.”

It won’t be that revolver right? Chen Rui took the box. After opening it, his facial expression changed slightly: It’s this thing!

A tiled magic card. ‘Fate Showdown’

This again?

Chen Rui suddenly felt that the pattern on the back of the card was somewhat familiar as if it was the object that summoned the ‘eyes’ to kill the huge existence.

He slowly turned over the cards – The highest main card of the Chaos Faction, King of Darkness!

“This is the bet you have won. Remember, you only have one chance to use the Supreme Key. Moreover, you must not only have the awareness of self-destruction, but you must also have the courage to bear the destruction of all things…” The man’s voice gradually weakened.

The Supreme Key? Chen Rui was taken aback for a moment. The man’s shadow became thinner and thinner. The cards glowed faintly as if they were absorbing the remaining soul of the man.

At the same time, the 7 artifacts floated out of thin air and combined into a strange object, which was the thing that summoned the ‘eyes’. It was the Supreme Key that Lucifer said. The pattern on the back of ‘King of Darkness’ flashed while the mysterious ‘key’ of the 7 artifacts combination gradually disappeared and was kept in the card.

“Wait a minute, Lucifer!” Gabriel realized something. She called out the man’s name loudly for the first time, “I still have a lot to say…”

“If there is another world, you, me, Rafferty, and more people will meet again…” After Lucifer finished the last sentence, his figure had completely dissipated. The light on the ‘King of Darkness’ card also disappeared.

The moment the light disappeared, whether it was a psychological effect or not, Chen Rui felt his mind relaxed. It seemed that the power that had been suppressing him had disappeared.

Gabriel looked at the ‘King of Darkness’ in Chen Rui’s hand in despair as if all the strength in his body had been drained. On the other hand, Kilanya had several items in her hand, “This is ice fungus and also the rainbow calla lilies you mentioned to Her Majesty Liv.”

The appearance of the ice fungus was somewhat similar to Ganoderma lucidum. It was crystal clear and exuded a faint chill; the rainbow calla lilies were snow-white in color. They looked like a horseshoe and had 6-color leaves, hence the name.

A faint colored mist appeared in Chen Rui’s hand as ice fungus and rainbow calla lilies were kept in the galaxy garden. Compared with uncovering those shocking secrets, this was the biggest gain. All the materials needed for Athena were finally gathered!

Chen Rui turned his head and glanced at the bewildered Gabriel, sighed, and put the ‘King of Darkness’ back into the box, and kept it in the storage warehouse.

Gabriel came to her senses suddenly. Her gaze that was watching Chen Rui exuded a terrifying aura. She raised the purple sharp spiral sword and drew a frightening sharp qi in the air, “Leave that thing behind!”

Chen Rui took a step forward and protected Kilanya behind him. At this moment, the space on the side fluctuated, and Raphael appeared.

“Gabriel, I have found the holy flame stone here, and even the light stream vine! With these and the potion made of the Snow Dallet Flower, not only Michael, but also the severe injury caused by the Creation Vessel’s recoil on both of us can recover soon!” Raphael’s voice was full of surprise. After he said these few words, he suddenly saw the situation on the field. He flickered and immediately appeared beside Gabriel. He was holding a silver long stick in his hand. His momentum locked on Chen Rui immediately.

From Raphael’s words, Chen Rui understood the reason why they ‘visited’ the Silver Moon Celestial Capital. As Python expected, when the elemental world changed, the 3 archangels took the risk of using the Creation Vessel to activate the power of the Book of Creation, stabilizing the light element that went berserk on the White Cliff, but they also received a lot of recoil. Some of the materials for recovery should only be available at Alucier’s place, so they came here in person.

“It turns out that both of you are injured, then you are no longer my opponent.” As Chen Rui said lightly, the starlight on his body was shining. The doubled life force and the disappearance of a certain suppression in his mind made the breath in the starlight even stronger than before. It was several times stronger. This was even without activating the fusion of [All Star Gods View]!

It seemed that the ‘existence’ comprehension in the mirror world was not as simple as to escape from the illusion.

Feeling the terrifying power of breathing, Gabriel and Raphael’s facial expressions changed at the same time. This enemy is too terrifying. Every time we see him, his strength rises by a chunk. His current state is much stronger than when he was in the archery arena not long ago!

“Gabriel, if you must fight, I will not show mercy! But, I just want to say one thing. This is ‘his’ choice.”

The word ‘choice’ seemed to hit Gabriel’s soft spot. Her body shook, and the Holy Song Sword in her hand dropped powerlessly. Under Raphael’s puzzled gaze, Gabriel let out a long sigh, turned around, and left. Raphael looked at Chen Rui suspiciously, and he followed her in the end. The figures of the 2 gradually faded away.

TL: What would Python do if she knows that Chen Rui isn’t ‘him’?
