Chapter 1225: Argument and Alliance

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Watching the bloody light disappear, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Although they didn’t know the specific circumstances of Quilliana’s injury, in any case, everyone escaped the calamity.

The starlight on Chen Rui’s body gradually dimmed. The moment it went out, the star armor were shattered, revealing terrible wounds all over his body. His injuries were far more serious than it looked on the surface. The bones of his right arm were basically broken, and the ankle of his left leg was also broken. He could barely stand. His soul was unprecedentedly weaker than ever. The fairy dragon in his left arm was already unconscious.

Chen Rui didn’t understand why Zola was able to merge with [All Star Gods View]. He only knew that if the fairy dragon hadn’t done so by risking her life just now, he would have been annihilated before Quilliana escaped.

The injuries of the 3 archangels were also serious, especially Gabriel. After the collapse of [Oracle Formation], she suffered another heavy blow from Quilliana, so it would be difficult to recover for a while.

The Crown of Thorns, 1 of the 3 holy relics, appeared on Chen Rui’s head, and he activated [Divine Healing]. Now the 3 archangels were all allies fighting side by side, so the 3 were not excluded. Both Michael and Raphael had light-element physiques. Although Gabriel had no light attribute, as the oracle of Light God for many years, she could also absorb the power of light element very well. Under the wonderful effect of [Divine Healing], the grave injuries of the 3 archangels soon stabilized.

However, Zola still hadn’t woken up. Fortunately, from the perspective of life breath, there should be no serious problems.

Chen Rui’s body and soul were severely injured this time. [Divine Healing] only healed the surface, and it was far from enough, so he had to rest for a long time to recover.

“Guys.” Chen Rui took back the Crown of Thorns as he spoke up, “Today’s battle can only be described as ‘lucky’. We seriously lacked in the estimation of Quilliana’s strength. If she hadn’t received a certain kind of injury and escaped because of the outbreak of the injury, I’m afraid we will not be spared today.”

“Quilliana’s strength is indeed beyond imagination, and we can’t pin our hopes on her injury.” Michael spoke first. Although he was still quite wary of Chen Rui, he had to admit it. In the previous battle, this person was the most threatening existence to Quilliana. Even Quilliana herself called him ‘the only enemy worth facing’.

“Unexpectedly, even the Book of Creation can’t deal with Quilliana.” Gabriel sighed.

“Why can’t I use ‘that thing’?” Chen Rui asked the biggest question in his mind.

Gabriel was silent for a moment before she asked back, “Are you ready to use it?”

Chen Rui slightly pondered and shook his head.

Michael and Raphael didn’t understand what ‘that thing’ was. When Gabriel said a few words softly, the 2 archangels were startled. Raphael blurted out, “You can’t use it!”

“Why?” Raphael’s attitude made Chen Rui want to figure out the inside story even more.

“Taboo.” Gabriel explained, “Restricted by certain taboos, we cannot describe related things. If we break the taboo, we will pay the price of our lives. Therefore, the secrets can only be explored by yourself. As ‘he’ said, if you’re not prepared accordingly, don’t use that thing. Better never use it.”

Chen Rui witnessed with his own eyes that the Earth Elemental King Moore was annihilated because he uttered the secret of the elemental world, so he understood that Gabriel’s words were not excuses.

Michael thought for a long time, and he spoke up, “I can only answer you in this way. When facing Quilliana, we may still have a glimmer of hope if we don’t use it; once we use it, we don’t even have a glimmer of hope.”

Chen Rui was savoring the meaning of Michael’s words, only to hear Raphael say, “The most important thing now is how to stop the power of the Abyss. Quilliana retreats temporarily. However, those Abyss creatures will not stop.”

Chen Rui frowned and said, “I only saw Quilliana today, but not Sosbach and Dillosro. If these 2 make moves, how can we stop them?”

“Judging from the current intel, they have never appeared. If my guess is correct, Sosbach and Dillosro are probably not fully awakened or they are in a weak state.” Michael said, “So, the Abyss creatures will continue to attack. Their destruction can bring Sosbach and Dillosro back to life step by step.”

“You mean, the Abyss rulers can gain power through the Abyss creatures’ destruction of life?” Chen Rui showed a stunned expression.

Gabriel added, “Yes, the Abyss creatures actually use destruction power to devour faith and life by killing living beings. A considerable part of the power gained by this devour will be automatically fed back to the rulers. Furthermore, the resulting negative emotions such as fear and despair will further replenish and increase the power of the rulers. If the Abyss rulers directly destroy the creatures, there will be no such effect. For example, Quilliana cannot get corresponding supplements for the destruction of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital today. The purpose of her coming here should be to take away the whip.”

“Hmph! That whip must be the bane left over from the rebellion of the elf tribe 20,000 years ago. If the elf tribe had been destroyed back then, there wouldn’t be such a situation today! Alucier should be fully responsible!” Raphael said dissatisfied.

Chen Rui once experienced the mirror world set up by Alucier. He always felt that the methods of the elf prophet were definitely not that simple. Especially with Quilliana’s strength, he couldn’t think of anyone who could make her suffer such a hidden injury. It might have something to do with Alucier too.

It was a pity that Alucier was already dead. Perhaps no one would know about the various tricks he set up during his lifetime.

“The best strategy right now is to ambush the Nightmare Wilderness. while Quilliana is injured and Dillosro and Sosbach are not fully awake, we directly defeat the foundation of the Abyss.” Gabriel paused and sighed, “Unfortunately, we are all seriously injured now and we can’t fight. Even if we count Satan, Raguel, and the others, we are definitely not Quilliana’s opponents.”

Chen Rui was also regretful. Now is indeed the time when the Abyss is weakest, but this ‘weakness’ is relative. The Nightmare Wilderness is the base camp of the Abyss. Not only Quilliana is there, but also Dillosro, Sosbach and the endless Abyss creatures. If we go there rashly, we will die in vain.

In the face of absolute power, tricks are basically useless. If we want to truly defeat the Abyss, we must possess the strength to compete with the 3 rulers of Abyss. Unfortunately, as Gabriel said, even if all the Pseudo-Gods in the 2 worlds combined, we are not Quilliana’s opponent.

Chen Rui thought for a while and said, “The first thing we need to consider now is to organize military forces to resist the Abyss creatures and prevent them from destroying the human world. This will cut off the source of power of the 3 rulers of Abyss and delay the recovery of the 3 rulers. I’ll go back to the Demon Realm to recuperate, then I will try… to see if I can make a further breakthrough in strength.”

Hearing ‘further breakthrough in strength’, Michael’s eyes narrowed while Raphael said coldly, “There is an easier way to cut off the source of power of the 3 rulers. That is, before the Abyss makes a move, we first destroy the ‘source of strength’.”

Chen Rui was startled. His eyes filled with chilling threat stared at Raphael, “You want to be the fourth Abyss ruler?”

Raphael sneered without showing any weakness, “Don’t be hypocritical. Yours is not kindness, but cowardice! To deal with an enemy like the Abyss, we must use all means.”

“If this is the case, then I am already prepared to use the supreme key.”

Michael frowned and said, “Okay, stop arguing. This is not a good idea. Quilliana has descended now, and everyone has experienced her strength just now. Even if we really kill all the humans or demons, we still can’t defeat Quilliana. Besides, losing believers is equivalent to ruining our further possibility, then how can we fight against the Abyss?”

Gabriel also said, “We must unite the power of the Demon Realm and the human world, including those with super-level powerhouses, to fight the Abyss together.”

Raphael looked at Gabriel and Michael, but he didn’t say anything more.

Chen Rui ignored Raphael and nodded, “The place where the Abyss descended is in the Nightmare Wilderness, so their goal must be expanding with the Nightmare Wilderness as the center. The destruction of the Iron Gate Empire is just the beginning. The top priority now is to quickly provide reinforcement to the Blue Glory Empire. At the same time, the civilians without combat power should be relocated to a safe place in advance. If the war is really urgent, the Demon Realm can be considered for this relocation place.”

Move humans to the Demon Realm? This proposal made the 3 archangels startled at the same time. Gabriel spoke up, “Hope the situation won’t be so bad…”

The 2 sides basically reached a consensus that the 2 worlds would join forces. The ground troops quickly mobilized to the Blue Glory Empire for reinforcements. Chen Rui took Zola back to the Demon Realm to recuperate. The 3 archangels reconvened the super powerhouses of the 2 worlds to fight against powerful enemies.

The Demon Realm and the human world turned from enemies into friends. The news of the alliance spread to the Golden Estate and even the entire human world. Almost everyone was shocked. A few days ago, they were fighting to the death with the Demon Coalition Army, and today they were about to join forces! The most shocking thing was actually not the alliance itself, but a shocking sign reflected from this alliance—— The 3 archangels could not eliminate those monsters! That’s why we are forced to form an alliance with the Demon Realm!

The elf tribe suffered the most casualties because the elves had already received the bad news that the Silver Moon Celestial Capital was destroyed. Even Empress Liv and all the remaining elves died!

All the elves were inexplicably sad. Little Princess Michelle even fainted from crying. The new elf prophet Kilanya understood why her father Alucier insisted on entrusting the Tree of Nature to Chen Rui, an outsider, and not allowing him to return it as scheduled. He also left a letter to the empress, suggesting sending all elites to the Human Coalition Army. It turned out that he had foreseen the destruction of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital a long time ago!
