Devil's Son-in-Law-Chapter 1165: The Beginning
In the sky covered with red clouds and the thunder became more and more frequent.
There was a large specially-made table in the residential courtyard of Dark Moon Estate. Chen Rui was sitting in front of the table, surrounded by Athena, Kia and Isabella. Isabella was holding Duoduo in her arms. Olypheus, Delia, Medilu, Lalaria and the others sat opposite.
Everyone ignored the thunder in the sky, and they were still chatting and laughing, especially Athena and the ladies, who watched with a smile as Chen Rui ate big mouthfuls. They kept serving him while they ate less.
“You just ate the braised pork from Athena, and a piece of spinach from Isabella, why didn’t you eat the potatoes from me?” The little maid pursed her mouth pitifully.
“How can I remember so much…” Chen Rui finally understood who Duoduo’s usually pitiful gestures were from, “Okay, I eat now, alright?”
Madam Aunt also protested in response, “Wait a minute, it can’t be counted like this. You ate 12 bites of Athena and 11 bites of Kia. Why did you only eat 7 bites of mine?”
“You should be a statistician instead of the head of intel, Yini.” Chen Rui stopped his chopsticks speechlessly, and he looked at the smiling Athena, “General Athena, do you have anything to add on? Let’s settle all at once.”
Athena smiled and shook her head, “I’m not a statistician, but you haven’t eaten anything these days, so you have to make up for it today.”
Make up for it? Doesn’t that mean I have to eat more than 10 bowls? This trick is even more ruthless… Chen Rui could only smile wryly as he looked at the already piled high bowls.
“This is too much.” Kia winked, “It’s better to eat 50 skewers of barbecue, 50 slices of potatoes and 50 spinach.”
Under the instigation of Isabella, a small flame appeared in Duoduo’s hand, “Daddy, you will be malnourished if you don’t eat. I can help you heat up those barbecues.”
Seeing the innocent and serious look of the little girl, Chen Rui felt a touch of warmth in his heart. He raised his hands in surrender, “Okay, do whatever you want.”
He knew very well that Athena and the others deliberately joked to ease his mood, including Paglio’s ‘drink wine with him’ previously, which was also to cheer him up – There are so many people who care about me. I must cheer up immediately.
As the poison dragon said, life cannot be smooth sailing. No matter right or wrong, since some things have happened, I have to bear it and keep going.
For a moment, everyone sensed Chen Rui’s emotional change and smiled at each other.
Just when Chen Rui was about to speak, he was startled. A stone appeared in his hand. An extremely intense colorful light was shining on that stone.
The radiance of the Fertile Yuan Soil attracted the vision of everyone in the house, especially Athena and the others who knew the inside story. They all showed nervous expressions.
Chen Rui clenched his fists: According to the words of Earth Elemental King Moore before he died, this should be the moment when Zola has entered the final test!
“My power…” Kia suddenly exclaimed, “It seems a bit uncontrollable!”
“Me too!” Krobelus and Delia said at the same time.
“And me.” Isabella looked at the disordered water element power in her hand, then at the nonchalant Lalaria and the others. She suddenly realized, “The disrupted one is… the element power!”
With that said, Isabella suddenly burst into flames. It turned out that Duoduo was frightened by the sudden disturbance, and the small flames in her hands lost control and burst out.
This was the fire origin of the phoenix, and its essence was incomparable. Fortunately, Isabella had reached the Demi-God level, and she reacted quickly to stop the flames in time. Otherwise, not only Isabella, but also Kia and Athena beside her would be hurt.
“Aunt Yini! I’m sorry…” Duoduo cried.
“It’s okay, Duoduo. Don’t cry. Just relax and stabilize your strength.” Isabella helped the little girl wipe away her tears, glanced at Athena, and spoke up, “Olypheus, hold Duoduo and go sit there for a while.”
Athena was pregnant now, so she must be protected without any negligence.
“Okay, sister!” Ms. Black Dragon rushed over immediately and took Duoduo. Ms. Black Dragon was a black dragon who had high resistance against any kind of element. Additionally, there was also Lalaria there, who was also a black dragon. Even if something happened to Duoduo, it would not affect others.
The thunder in the sky became more and more loud. From time to time, lightning pierced through the clouds. The color of the lightning was constantly changing, and the element power became more and more disordered.
“Damn it!” Paglio frowned, “How can the elements be so disordered? Even Demi-God Level people are affected?”
“Not only Demi-God, but also Pseudo-God, and everything.” A slightly deep voice came from the direction of the gate, “This is the fluctuation from the elemental world, affecting the entire main plane.”
This sound made Duoduo immediately reveal a vigilant expression. The only person who could pass through the door enchantment without a sound and made Duoduo have such an expression, of course, was Python.
“You’re here.” Chen Rui nodded to Python.
“Well, it’s chaotic outside now, and all the element powers are starting to get out of control. I believe Michael and the others are the ones who have the most headaches, because the light element is also included. But with the Book of Creation, there shouldn’t be too much trouble, but those 3 overbearing guys are going to suffer a bit.”
Python’s guess was correct. At this time, the chaos at the Holy Light Mountain was far higher than that of ordinary towns. Light elements were running around uncontrollably, and they sometimes even mutated into completely opposite dark elements. Facing the believers’ intense panic, the 3 archangels could only join forces to activate the Book of Creation in the Light Divinity Temple to forcibly suppress the element powers in the White Cliff.
Python’s eyes were fixed on the Fertile Yuan Soil, which became more and more colorful, “This is the earth element treasure, Fertile Yuan Soil? Its power seems to be a little special… What does this change mean? Is it related to the missing Zola?”
Chen Rui frowned, “Did you already know something?”
After solving the incident of Abaddon and Satan, Python appeared for the first time. She stayed in the Bloody Empire to recuperate, so she didn’t know what happened in Mountain Xilang. Nonetheless, judging from her expression, she seemed to have understood some secrets.
Python said indifferently, “As I said last time, I was just guessing, and now… you should already know part of the truth.”
“Then what exactly is your guess?”
“It’s just a guess; not the truth. People are always looking for the unknown truth, but the truth is often cruel. When it is revealed, many times you will find that ‘losing’ is far greater than ‘gaining’.” Python shook her head, “Actually, I just saw that Zola seemed to be ‘elementalized’ when she devoured Abaddon’s soul power, plus I have seen her 2 elemental armaments. This matter should be inseparable from the elemental world.”
Chen Rui was not satisfied with such an answer. Recalling the previous scene, he asked again, “Has Satan guessed this too? Why did he say ‘ironic fate’? The same thing happened last time in the Holy Light Mountain. Michael also said this when he heard that I acquired the Phantom Ice Spring to help the Earth Elemental King repair the elemental heart. There is one thing in common here. That is, one side is ‘me’, and the other side is related to the elemental world people. So what the heck do ‘I’ have to do with the elemental world?”
“The truth… you should find it in the elemental world.” Python avoided this topic, “It’s just that the elemental world is a very special existence. Trainers can’t enter the elemental world under normal circumstances, even if it’s pseudo-god.”
“Fertile Yuan Soil can open the door to the elemental world at a certain time.”
“No wonder.” Python withdrew her gaze from the Fertile Yuan Soil, “Its structure should be to use life and soul essence as a bridge to release the purest earth element power and open the portal—it’s a gift from your friend, the Elemental King, right?”
“The last gift.” Chen Rui’s gaze dimmed when he heard Python say “using life and soul essence as a bridge”.
“If my guess is right, this thing can only teleport 1 person.” Python was also a master of soul power. She saw through the soul structure of the Fertile Yuan Soil, “This means that you will enter the elemental world alone. “
Chen Rui raised his eyebrows, “You seem to agree for me to go?”
“If I don’t agree, you will go too. Since it’s useless to object, it’s better to look forward to it and see how far you can go.” Python smiled slightly, “But this trip can’t be taken lightly, because the enemies you will face are stronger than any opponent you have encountered before.”
Chen Rui nodded, “I hope to know more about the elemental world.”
“I know very little about the elemental world. But I know that this plane resists all creatures other than elements, and your strength will definitely be suppressed there. If your opponent is a Main Elemental Messenger, then you will face unprecedented tough battles; if you are facing 2 or more Main Elemental Messengers, I have only 1 advice, run.”
“Is the Main Elemental Messenger so powerful?” Paglio asked a little dissatisfiedly, “Is it stronger than Chen Rui or Ms. Python? You’re the strongest person who can compete with Satan and Michael!”
“The Main Elemental Messenger is an existence second only to the element goddess, roughly equivalent to the level of Veronica in Chen Rui’s ‘world’. Not only are they powerful, but they also have accumulated countless years of experience and wisdom. Based on my current strength, I’m not certain even in ordinary planes, let alone in the elemental world. Unless it is a god or someone with special abilities, the Main Elemental Messenger is almost invincible in the elemental world.”
Paglio gasped. Isabella interjected, “Special abilities? Like?”
“A person recognized by the elemental goddess.” Python’s answer made everyone understand immediately, and they fell silent.
Fertile Yuan Soil suddenly trembled automatically, and the colorful light gradually merged.
At this moment, Chen Rui’s attention was all focused on the golden Fertile Yuan Soil.
That golden light got brighter, and a crack appeared on the Fertile Yuan Soil.
