Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1201: Existence

Chapter 1201: Existence

As the wind blew, the clouds in the sky were constantly changing in various forms.

Things in the world were like white clouds, changing unpredictably.

In the library of the villa.

There was still a faint green mist from the muzzle.

There was a bullet hole in the wall.

There was a bloodstain on Chen Rui’s scalp, and a few strands of hair were scattered, but that was all.

Chen Rui looked at Athena in surprise. Athena’s hand was holding his hand that was holding the gun high. It was this sudden movement that caused the shot to miss just now.

Alucier also seemed to be stunned. No one would have expected such a result.

A shot that decided fate was equal to being wasted; the only bullet.

Originally, there was still a 1/3 chance of success, but now it was tantamount to completely losing hope of success.

Chen Rui’s mind went blank, and it took him a long time to react. When he let go, the revolver fell to the ground.

“Why?” Chen Rui smiled dejectedly and looked at Athena.

Tears slowly rolled down Athena’s eyes, “I don’t know who you are and what happened. But life is so precious, why do you have to die? Why can’t you live strong?”

Chen Rui sighed, “Even for a scum like me, you don’t want me to die?”

“Although I don’t know what happened to you, my eyes and my mind tell me that you are not a scumbag. I don’t want anyone to die, including you.”

Brave, kind and even a little impulsive, she is still the same Athena. Chen Rui was slightly shocked as he stared at Athena. He slowly took the hand she had raised and placed it on his chest.

Athena trembled slightly, but she did not resist.

“It turns out that I was wrong. You have the character and persistence unique to life. You’re a real existence. No, not only you, Kia, Catherine… everyone is.” As Chen Rui said, his heart involuntarily produced a certain resonance or it should be called comprehension. He slowly closed his eyes.

Alucier didn’t interrupt Chen Rui. There was an unknown smile on his mouth.

“It’s a warm feeling, a real warmth, a real Athena. I understand, Alucier. You didn’t lie to me. This is a real world, the world refracts my mind. Maybe… everyone’s mind has such a mirror world. In this sense, it is a truly parallel existence.”

“What do you want to say?” Alucier’s voice sounded without the indifference before, it was a little ethereal.

Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes as he let go of Athena’s hand. His gaze gradually became firm, “Now is the time for me to choose.”

Alucier stared at Chen Rui, “Are you sure?”

“The 3 nodes are all real, but they are all fake. No matter which one I choose, I will perish.” Chen Rui’s gaze had no confusion; only thorough enlightenment, the thorough enlightenment after experiencing life and death.

“Actually, you already said the real node when we first met.”

Alucier burst into laughter.

“Existence.” Unlike before, when Chen Rui said this word now, it carried an inexplicable power. The whole room seemed to tremble.

Chen Rui looked at Athena deeply, “What is in my mind is the real existence. Thank you for your existence, Athena.”

Athena looked at those clear eyes that were shining with tears in surprise. It felt so strange, yet so familiar. She even had an illusion… as if a long time ago, this man was her lover that she swore to live forever with.

“The true meaning of life is not death or creation, nor destruction or creation, but existence.” Chen Rui’s body emitted a faint brilliance. Every time he spoke a word, the surrounding space began to blur.

“Chen Rui…” Athena was surprised to find that in her vision, what was blurry was not the surrounding world, but Chen Rui, whose body began to fade as if he was some kind of illusion that was about to cease to exist in the world.

Not only Chen Rui, but also Alucier.

“What is this? A power of connection? Could it be… That’s the reason, I finally understand!” While comprehending it, Chen Rui also comprehended another mystery of the mirror world. He couldn’t help showing rage, “The so-called ‘nodes’ are actually connected to the reality of another world. If I choose anyone to die, then relative to this world, the ‘mirror image’ of the other world will also die!”

“Yes, if you killed Athena or yourself just now, she and you in another world will also die. This also includes me.” Alucier’s voice and figure became more and more ethereal, “Do you regret not shooting me now?”

“You don’t even hesitate to risk your own life. How terrifying!” Chen Rui said coldly, “I’m not sure what your purpose is, but what I can be sure of is that I won in the end.”

“Yes, you won.” Alucier shook his head, and he suddenly said something that surprised Chen Rui, “I won too.”

After speaking, under Athena’s surprised gaze, the ‘principal’ completely disappeared into thin air.

“I should go too, Athena.” Chen Rui’s body had become almost completely transparent.

“Where are you going?!” Athena couldn’t help asking. There was no hatred in her mind, only confusion. In the confusion, there were indescribable emotions. She didn’t know why this happened, but she knew very well that this would be the last time she saw this person. This man who was willing to destroy his own world to protect hers.

Or not for her, but another ‘her’ whom she couldn’t understand.

“Athena, if there is no other world to worry about, I really want to stay here and start everything with you again. But now I’m going back because there is another you and our child. Take care…”

Athena saw the disappearing hand slowly brushing across her face. Even though it passed through her face and finally disappeared without a trace, the gentle feeling was still clear.

Tears came out involuntarily.

The surrounding space changed and distorted rapidly. In the end, Chen Rui’s blurry vision became clear again.

Finally, the distorted scene gradually returned to normal.

After recovering his vision, Chen Rui already felt that in the galaxy of the Super System, there was an incomparably powerful breath of life. It was almost 10 times stronger than before!

Is it caused by the comprehension just now?

But he didn’t have time to comprehend the new power, because an even more shocking scene appeared in front of him.

In front of him, there was a huge male body floating.

Corpse!

Rather than saying it as a corpse, it is more like a dead solar system.

More than one ‘corpse’! There are more ahead!

Chen Rui couldn’t help being horrified. Here is actually… the most mysterious Chaos Realm?

With Chen Rui’s current strength, even in the face of an existence like Main Elemental Messenger, he could remain calm, but he could not remain calm in front of these corpses that had lost their vitality.

How did I come back to this place after returning from that world?

Wait a minute, something’s wrong. Although they are indeed these corpses, they don’t have the feeling of real vastness at the beginning. They are more like… illusions?

Have I just escaped from a mirror world and fallen into another similar ‘world’?

Since I’m able to enter the Super System now, without any data or alarms, it shows that this is not the kind of mirror world that is almost unsolvable, but an ordinary illusion that is not dangerous.

While Chen Rui was thinking, he suddenly sensed a change in the surrounding space. As faint cracks appearing, the eyes of the nearest corpse slowly opened!

Not only this one, but the others also opened their eyes one after another.

Even though he already knew that these were just illusions, this scene still shocked Chen Rui. After all, these were the most terrifying existences.

The moment they opened their eyes, the whole scene was tremble. Chen Rui felt a chill running down his spine. If he really faced this ‘corpse’, this gaze alone would cause his soul to be destructively damaged.

How powerful this is!

The ‘corpses’ not only opened their eyes, but they also stood up one after another, but the posture of standing up was a bit weird.

After standing up, the ‘corpses’ opened their mouth and roared. The sound alone deepened the cracks in the space countless times, and a vacuum similar to that caused by [Dimension Destruction] appeared, but the power was multiple times stronger.

Although the power was extremely astonishing, Chen Rui faintly felt that something was wrong. At this time, the faces of the corpses showed frightened and even desperate expressions as if they were feeling something terrible.

This kind of almost invincible existence is actually afraid? What are they afraid of?

There was something coming from all directions toward the space above the head, and the speed was quite fast. With Chen Rui’s eyesight, he could only vaguely see a shape. Those things were somewhat familiar!

Several light streams gather together to form a special object, then they quickly disappeared in a blur. At the same time, a huge outline resembling an eye opened in the void.

The ‘eyes’ changed from gradually blurred to clear. They did not have pupils, just a simple shape, with endless emptiness inside. When Chen Rui just glanced at it, he felt his whole soul shaking involuntarily as if his soul e was about to get out of his body. His spirit and body faintly showed signs of collapse in an instant, which greatly startled him.

Chen Rui had a strong sense of suppression that was about to suffocate him— This is just a pure illusion. If I really face this ‘eyes’, I will be completely annihilated before I even have time to conceive a thought.

Cracks appeared faintly on the huge body with dim light. As the cracks became clearer, the bodies also became clearer. He could see the light of stars emerging from inside. These starlights seemed to be quickly sucked by something.

It’s the ‘eyes’!

What those huge bodies fear is these ‘eyes’ with indescribable strength?

Strangely, the bodies of these giants seem to be recovering quickly? The cracks on their bodies have disappeared. Even their expressions…

The suppression in Chen Rui’s mind became more and more intense. Then, he suddenly came to his senses. This is actually what happened!
