Chapter 1063: Awakening and Conditions
Chen Rui did not continue with that kind of ‘quiet comprehension of life’ because the mystery of what he had comprehended some time ago had been basically digested completely. There would be no results if this continued.
In 1 month, the combat power of the early stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d of the [Pole Star Transformation] had advanced to the intermediate stage, which was indeed quite amazing. Ordinary Pseudo-G.o.d might take hundreds or even thousands of years to do it. What’s even more rare was that this month was a genuine month, not a thousand-fold extension in time law. Under ordinary circ.u.mstances, it was unbelievable.
It was a pity that training was not equal to arithmetic. Reaching the intermediate stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d in 1 month did not mean that he would reach the peak stage Pseudo-G.o.d in the remaining 2 months.
The reason why Chen Rui had this kind of achievement was entirely due to the acc.u.mulation of previous training, plus the result of comprehension and digestion of ‘G.o.d conferring’ faith power. It was almost impossible to reproduce this incredible result next time.
Chen Rui initially wanted to use the power of the constellation to launch another big move, but he failed unfortunately.
The super evolution result of the City of Stars was also out this month. The super evolution was unusual. Generally speaking, the longer the alchemy creature was in the culture tank, the more energy it could absorb, and the stronger the power after the conversion was successful. There was also a chance to acquire some special abilities. However, the more energy absorbed, the higher the failure rate.
The super evolution of the 12 elite t.i.tans had all ended with 7 successes and 5 failures.
Ordinary alchemy creatures would be completely annihilated if they failed to evolve. For instance, the lamp spirits’s heart lamp would break and disappear directly after failure; even giant crystal beast was no exception. The t.i.tans were different. They didn’t die, but their strength dropped by a big realm, so the 5 t.i.tans had regressed to the Demon Emperor level.
Among the 7 successful t.i.tans, Ocea.n.u.s and Cronos had the longest evolution time and had reached the peak stage of the Kingdom level. Among the other t.i.tans, there were 2 who were at the intermediate stage of the Kingdom level and 2 at the early stage of the Kingdom level.
Ocea.n.u.s, Cronos, and another Mnemosyne at the intermediate stage of Kingdom level gained special abilities.
Ocea.n.u.s gained [Devour] and [Regeneration]. He could devour ordinary energy ent.i.ties and automatically recover after being injured. For the t.i.tans, this was a very practical ability.
What Cronos got was [s.p.a.ce Defense], which could create a s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld to protect himself and his companions.
Mnemosyne’s ability was [Copy], which could copy mirror image to fight. The attack power was half of his own, and the time limit was about 10 minutes. The only disadvantage was that the defense power was weak and the mirror image would disappear after bearing a certain amount of attack.
At the insistence of Ocea.n.u.s, the 4 failed t.i.tans lost their given names, and Ocea.n.u.s proposed that all the t.i.tans of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord should partic.i.p.ate in the super evolution. Finally, the 12 most powerful re-selected t.i.tans were given names given by the master.
Chen Rui agreed to this request. This time, he brought back a lot of rule energy which would be enough to make a qualitative breakthrough in the alchemy beings of the entire City of Stars.
Crystal Phoenix was trying to use some residual information and materials of alchemy to study a higher level of secondary super evolution, which could make the alchemy creatures evolve again. This evolution was a unique function of the highest level 6 capital. It was only the initial stage of experimentation and research.
The only regret was the maroon lamp spirit, Manlace, who was one of Chen Rui’s most promising future super-levels, couldn’t evolve.
The normal strength of the lamp spirits was Demon Emperor. After super evolution, it could reach Demon Overlord, and the heart lamp would also become a dark gold color. Maroon lamp spirits with S++ strength were the most promising to break through to super-level, but unfortunately, no matter how she tried the super evolution, the maroon lamp spirit never succeeded. Fortunately, her heart lamp was extremely special and would not disappear because of failure.
No one knew what method or material Doruda used to make her in the first place. So far, Crystal Phoenix had not a.n.a.lyzed the formula for the maroon heart lamp. The lamp spirits’ combat power that evolved to Demon Overlord was far inferior to Manlace.
At this moment, Chen Rui had a sense in his mind, so he immediately entered the Super System.
In the galaxy s.p.a.ce, a translucent cl.u.s.ter gradually appeared.
This cl.u.s.ter spread out like a cloud. The first impression it gave people was pure. In the seemingly thin ‘clouds’, pure and powerful energy was condensed. Soon, a round object in the middle gradually shone with crystal light, then the whole cl.u.s.ter of energy began to rapidly condense and become smaller. The shape of a woman appeared.
This woman’s body quickly turned from translucent to solid. Her facial features looked a little blurry, but the features looked vaguely delicate. She was slender and well-proportioned. Her almost perfect body was covered with a close-fitting silver armor. In the midst of the heroic aura, she revealed a murderous evil spirit.
The woman’s closed eyes slowly opened, and her golden pupils seemed to be releasing cold lightning. Her pupils seemed to be able to see through Chen Rui’s soul.
If in the outside world, the pressure brought by this gaze would frighten Chen Rui who had [Pole Star Transformation].
However, this was the Super System.
No matter how strong the power this woman exuded, it was just a drop in the ocean in this vast and vast universe.
Chen Rui didn’t activate the [Pole Star Transformation]. He didn’t panic and just looked at the woman quietly, “You finally woke up, Python.”
The woman in front of him was the long-sleeping Python.
When Chen Rui was at the Holy Light Mountain, Python deliberately used the method of soul fusion to help him comprehend the complete creation origin law, then she showed her ferocious fangs, wanting to devour Chen Rui’s body and soul together with the complete creation origin law.
Unfortunately, despite Python’s careful calculations, she did not expect that Chen Rui actually used her power to comprehend the creation origin law on purpose. Instead of gaining benefit, she was imprisoned by the Tree of Nature and Seal of Fire and Wind.
After comprehending the creation origin law and fusing the destruction origin law, the power of the Super System had undergone a qualitative change. No matter how powerful Python was, she couldn’t shake the boundless galaxy in the Super System. After using all her means, not only she failed, but Chen Rui, who activated [Purple Pole Star Transformation], had comprehended the profound effect of might. As the soul-exhausted Python prepared to explode the Pseudo-G.o.dhood in desperation, Chen Rui threw a tempting chip, that was the sealed power of Quilliana’s projection, 1 of the 3 rulers of Abyss.
In the end, Python chose to stay alive and signed a master-subordinate contract with Chen Rui. After devouring Quilliana’s power, he fell asleep in the Super System. Until now, she finally woke up.
This awakening could be said to be quite timely because Chen Rui would face a strong enemy like Satan in 2 months. Python was Satan’s old enemy and a powerful peak stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d. Although she was only in a soul state, her strength was undeniable. With the help of Python, his winning chances would definitely increase greatly after 2 months.
Python looked away from Chen Rui as if ignoring him. She did not speak, but a faint light shone on her body, exuding a strange soul power.
After the light of Python’s body changed several times, her brows furrowed tightly.
After a long time, Python’s eyes were set on Chen Rui’s face again, “I lost.”
Chen Rui looked straight into those eyes. In her eyes, he saw many things. The most conspicuous one was arrogance.
“Have you been really thinking that you’ve never lost?”
“My soul has a special power, especially for contracts. However, I tried several times just now and I still couldn’t get rid of it. If I remember correctly, the might you showed at the beginning was special, but the level was only at the early stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d. But now my soul has recovered 70%, far better than the ordinary peak stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d, yet I still can’t break free from the power of your contract.”
“So, I lost. It’s hard to accept, but losing is losing.”
“I can see that you are someone who can afford to lose.” Chen Rui nodded, “I don’t want to beat around the bush. You woke up at the right time. I need your help.”
“According to your scheming, it should not be a difficulty in strategy, but an inevitable powerful enemy.” Python was no doubt extraordinary. She saw through his intention in one sentence, “Did I guess it right?”
“Yes, I have an enemy. Within 2 months, I will have a fight with him, so I need your strength.”
“Enemy?”
“This person… should be your ‘old friend’.” Chen Rui took a deep breath, “Satan.”
“Satan! Your enemy is actually him!” Python was slightly shocked. She suddenly thought of something, and some kind of strange light flashed, “I remember, you once showed the Light Badge, the Earth Badge and the Fire Badge in front of me. It turned out you’re actually… Hmph, maybe I already understand why you are fighting against Satan. Although this battle is a matter of time, it is still too early for you. You should not fight him so soon.”
These remarks revealed quite an unexpected amount of information. The Fire Badge and the Earth Badge that Python said were the 7 artifacts like the Wrath King Armor and Sword of Fallen Angel that Chen Rui deliberately took out in order to deter and disturb her when he fought against her in front of the Light Divinity Temple. What does this represent? What do I have to fight with Satan sooner or later?
Although Chen Rui was full of doubts, dealing with Satan was the most important thing, “So, Python…”
“Hahaha…” Python laughed suddenly. The laughter sounded very alluring at first, but Chen Rui frowned, because of the pride and arrogance contained in this laughter; he also heard it from Satan’s laughter before in the Fallen Angel Empire.
Python’s laughter finally stopped, “I didn’t finish a sentence earlier.”
“Say it.”
“Although I lost, you haven’t won yet.”
“Why?” Chen Rui raised his brows.
“This is your kingdom. I tried it just now, it is very special. With my current strength, I can’t escape.” Python said firmly, “Now that I have activated the secret technique, my soul will be closed and won’t obey any of your commands. Moreover, this secret technique also has a function, that is, self-destruction. Perhaps this kind of self-destruction can’t destroy your kingdom, but you can’t get any benefit or power from me.”
“If you’re really not afraid of death, why did you accept the contract previously?”
Python sneered, “Just doing a last-ditch effort, trying to regain strength and then fighting back, but unfortunately… I’ve admitted that I’ve failed in this regard.”
“Have you really decided? Would you rather die than truly surrender?”
“Don’t underestimate the madness of women.” Python smiled again. “There was a guy called Uriel back then. Because he underestimated this, when I killed him, he still couldn’t believe that he died in my hands.”
Chen Rui was actually clueless about some ancient secrets. He just remembered that the name ‘Uriel’ was vaguely mentioned in the conversation between Python and Michael, but he didn’t know the context. If a senior Pseudo-G.o.d was here, he would be shocked when he heard the name that was as famous as Michael and others back then.
When Chen Rui could see that Python’s determination was not fake, his heart sank: The strong aid I have been waiting for is actually in vain.
At this moment, Python’s eyes flashed with some kind of brilliance, “However, if you can do 2 things, I’d really like to be your helper, but you have to promise me that you won’t hurt me before you finish or fail these 2 things.”
TL: Seems like this woman has some stories too. Is she like Isabella, meeting an ungrateful man?
