Devil's Son-in-Law Chapter 1048: Television Meeting

Chapter 1048: Television Meeting

Shea soon met ‘someone’s future empress wife’ and her sister who was ‘fascinated by and determined to marry someone’.
For the timid Tiffany, Shea did not show a cold face, but she was very polite and friendly. It was not only because of Tiffany’s future identity but more from the bottom of her heart and empathy.
In fact, Shea and Alice were not the only children of their father, Crown Prince Grimm, Alice also had an older brother. As soon as the boy was born, he was hidden by Grimm who ostensibly raised Shea to be the lord of the Dark Moon, but he actually regarded the son as a true inheritor. Unfortunately, not long after Alice was born, Shea’s mother and brother died in an ‘accident’.
This ‘accident’ was caused by Regent Obsidian at the time. Grimm thought he could hide it from everyone, but he didn’t know that his plan had already been discovered by ill-intentioned people. Since Grimm’s son was born in secret, unlike Shea, Obsidian could ignore the pressure from General George and others. Therefore, they tried to assassinate without any scruples, making Grimm suffer in silence.
Grimm was originally suffering from an unmentionable illness, and this incident made him inexplicably sorrowful. Eventually, he died due to the old wound relapsed.
To put it bluntly, Shea, the Dark Moon’s Princess Royal, was actually just a cover to attract the enemy’s attack. In order to be a good cover, Grimm killed all her friends and twisted her character to become a ruthless and qualified guise.
Grimm only really gave up until his son died. Before Grimm died, Shea had asked her father if he regretted doing this to her, and Grimm, who was already dying, just answered lightly: You’re now the true lord of the Dark Moon.
Shea didn’t know if there was some kind of unspoken affection from her father or real indifference. She only remembered crying a lot at the beginning. The next day after the funeral, she literally turned into a ruthless Princess Royal, the true lord of the Dark Moon.
Alice didn’t know this. In the memory of the Royal Highness Little Princess, Grimm was still the strict but kind father. Chen Rui only found out about this later. Even after becoming an empress, Shea still shouldered too many responsibilities. Nevertheless, she had always been a good lord, a good emperor, and a good sister.
Although Tiffany had Raizen as a father, she had never felt fatherly love. The only mother whom she had been looking forward to for many years pushed her into the abyss in the end with her own hands, completely shattering her best hope. Now she had to shoulder the responsibility of an empire. Shea could relate to her hardship.
The kindness shown by Shea made Tiffany put down an uneasy heart. This Royal Majesty Empress does not seem to be as cold as the rumors, but it must be related to Chen Rui because this Royal Majesty is also his wife.
In contrast, it was not so easy for Alice, who had been trying to reduce her sense of existence, to pass the hurdle. Facing the righteous preaching of her sister, the Royal Highness Little Princess agreed to enroll in college with tears in her eyes. Before miserably embarking on the road to the execution ground, er… to college, she did not forget to throw a knife. She desperately hugged a certain brother-in-law and smooched mouth to mouth for a minute in front of her sister before running away in tears.
If eyes could kill, a certain brother-in-law had already been riddled with holes under the gaze of her sister.
Although Chen Rui appeared just in time this time to stop the ‘Dark Divinity Temple’ from reaching out to the 3 empires, Satan would definitely not be fooled by 2 sentences. He would never give up easily.
The current situation was not optimistic. The 3 empires couldn’t ‘move’ or ‘hide’. Chen Rui’s only knowledge of Satan was that Mountain Seckred was located at the north of the Bloody Empire. He had no idea of the specific strength of Satan. It could be said that the enemy was under cover while clearly watching them.
Satan may come again at any time. Next time, it surely is not going to be so easy.
The so-called ‘visit’ to the Mountain Seckred was just a deceptive tactic to slow down the troops, but if things went on like this, sooner or later a head-on conflict would occur between Chen Rui and Satan.
In the face of absolute strength, all strategies were just useless. Although [Purple Pole Star Transformation] had 4 mights and various special abilities, it could not compete with peak stage Pseudo-God, especially 1 of the strongest peak stage Pseudo-God.
In fact, Chen Rui also had another strong support, that was powerhouse Python, which used to exist at the same era as Satan. Python only had a soul entity left, and her injury was not light. She was still sleeping and recovering in the Super System, but she was peak stage Pseudo-God after all. With her help, he had a little more confidence in fighting against Satan.
Nonetheless, the most important thing was his own strength. The advancement this time gave Chen Rui a very special feeling. It seemed that there were many magical effects that had not been fully understood. In other words, there was still a lot of potential and room for improvement. What he needed now was time to master the mystery of the Purple Pole Star Emperor, especially the [Purple Pole Star Transformation].
Shea proposed that the rulers of the 3 empires convene an emergency meeting immediately to inform Catherine and Raizen about the Dark Divinity Temple and discuss the countermeasures. This proposal was immediately approved by Chen Rui.
The way of this meeting was very modern: Television meeting.
Now the communication between the 3 rulers could be done by using the special signal towers of magic television. This kind of television meeting was not a simple 2d image, but a holographic image like in the magic game created by the special magic helmet. Although it needed to consume a part of the spirit power of the activated person, Shea, the weakest among the 3 rulers, had also reached the peak stage of the Demon Overlord level. This mere spirit power consumption was nothing.
In a virtual conference room, Chen Rui, who accompanied Shea to the meeting, met Raizen and Catherine.
“Your Majesty, long time no see.”
Raizen’s eyes were immediately fixed on Chen Rui’s face, “This face… I remember vividly.”
It turned out that this time Chen Rui did not use the face of ‘Aguile’, but he removed the disguise technique and showed the true face of ‘Arthur’. As Raizen said, this face was familiar to many people in the Demon Realm. It was even someone’s real name on earth, Chen Rui.
“As you can see, Raizen.” Chen Rui shrugged. “This is my true face, without any disguise or transformation technique.”
“True face!” This sentence shocked Raizen. “Are you a human or a demon!”
“It doesn’t really matter whether I’m human or demon. The reason why I’m seeing you with my true face is to represent an open and honest attitude.”
Raizen took a deep breath and looked at Shea as well as Catherine who seemed calm. He frowned, “It seems that I’m the last one to know the secret.”
“Raizen, you don’t have to mind.” Catherine smiled sweetly, and her eyes were full of autumnal waves, “Even as this guy’s woman, it took me a lot of time and effort to get a glimpse of his true identity. Someone is more cunning than expected.”
Raizen sneered coldly, “This can also explain the reason why the once famous human financial officer has disappeared in recent years. There are rumors that he has died in secret. But no one could have imagined that the person had actually changed to a more prominent and shocking identity in public. Should I call you Aguile? Or Chen Rui?”
“My real name should be Arthur. Arthur. Roland, the second prince of the Holy Empire in the human world. This time I went to the human world and got a special identity, that is the Holy Child of the Holy Church, which is the next Holy Light pope.”
Even Raizen, who had always had a stoic expression, couldn’t help but be shocked again – I once participated in the army of crusade against the human world, so I also know a little about the distribution of power in the human world. The Holy Church is a priestly institution that controls the entire human empire with supreme authority. This ‘Arthur’ has actually become the future pope!
“Let me explain first. I came to the Demon Realm by accident, and lost my memory as well as power. I have no special intentions. And now… I’m part of the Demon Realm. This is my home, where my most treasured loved ones are. There will be no ‘Arthur’ anymore, only ‘Chen Rui’. With that said, Chen Rui glanced at Shea and Catherine. The 2 empresses felt warm. They had undisguised affection and happiness in their eyes.
“As for the identity… The prince of the Holy Empire, the Holy Child of the Holy Church, or the future pope, is now history. I’m now the most wanted criminal of the Holy Light Mountain.”
“Because of Tiffany?” Raizen asked vaguely after guessing a bit.
“You can say so. What happened to her… is unfortunate. She was betrayed by the closest person. I believe you should understand that feeling. Even without your entrustment, I will not stand by and watch. As for the so-called power or interest in the human world, it’s not worth mentioning at all to me.” Chen Rui didn’t dwell too much on this matter, but he switched to a key topic, “Dark Divinity Temple is our focus today. It is also the most critical issue.”
Raizen raised his brows when he heard that Tiffany was ‘betrayed by the closest person’, but soon, his attention was attracted by the Dark Divinity Temple that Chen Rui said next.
After just a few words, Catherine and Raizen’s faces turned grim.
“It’s actually Satan!” Raizen’s brows furrowed. He was very aware of Satan’s terrifying power. At the beginning, Satan once forced him to have a relationship with Eudora, which then gave birth to Tiffany. Subsequently, he took Tiffany away. Raizen did not have the slightest strength to resist this – Even if he has stepped into the super-level now, he also did not have it.
“Satan has obtained some kind of treasure, which can transfer part of the people’s faith in god to himself, in an attempt to embark on the road of becoming a god. This is his real intention to create the Dark Divinity Temple.” Chen Rui sighed, “This ambition should have been planned for many years. Accepting Tiffany as an apprentice is also one of his plans in order to obtain part of that treasure. He has already succeeded in this step. Therefore, Satan will not easily give up this attempt. Although the people sent this time were scared away by me, but next time, I’m afraid it will not be so easy.”
Raizen frowned for a long time and spoke up in a deep voice, “I’ve never been a person who gives up easily, but here’s a word of frustration: If the opponent is really that person, we stand no chance at all. I don’t know if you have heard of rumors of ‘Satan’ before. He is a super powerhouse of the peak stage of the Pseudo-God. He is also probably the most powerful Pseudo-God of the Demon Realm, known as the man closest to the Demon God.”
“Peak stage of the Pseudo-God!” Catherine couldn’t help being stunned. Raizen is right. In the face of absolute power, no matter how subtle a strategy is, it would be of no use. If the enemy is the peak stage Pseudo-God, even if the 3 empires joined forces to fight against him, there will be no chance at all.
Chen Rui said, “It’s not time to lose faith. As for Satan, no matter how close he is to God, he is not God after all… Peak stage Pseudo-God is not completely unmatched.”
Raizen frowned, “What do you mean by that?”
“Just as you understood.” Chen Rui spread his hands, “I said that today is to be honest, so I don’t want to hide it. I have faced 2 peak stage Pseudo-God archangels in the Holy Light Mountain. Among them is Chief Archangel Michael, who also claims to be the closest to God. This sir angel hates me to the core, but unfortunately… I’m still alive. As for the other Supreme Angel Raphael, I rescued Tiffany from his hands.”
Raizen and Catherine were simultaneously shocked. The continuous surprise made Raizen unable to keep his composure as he suddenly stood up, “You’re already Pseudo-God?”
This ‘Aguile’ was once an opponent who was easily defeated by Raizen. Later, in the potioneer contest, he showed the power of the Kingdom level, which was valued by Raizen. However, in the Demon Realm’s martial battle competition, Raizen, who wanted to defeat ‘Aguile’, was easily defeated after encountering the Demi-God level Black Dragon Lalaria in the quarterfinals. What shocked Raizen was that ‘Aguile’ actually unleashed the power beyond the kingdom level in the subsequent semi-finals, beating Lalaria unbelievably. The eventual final turned into a family reunion between ‘Aguile’ and Catherine.
Since then, Raizen had set his target as ‘Aguile’ and trained hard continuously. As Midnight Sun said, he was actually more suitable as a warrior. Under the general trend of the unification of the Demon Realm’s alliance. Raizen had the idea of ​​abdicating and devoting himself to training, so he entrusted Chen Rui to find his daughter, Tiffany.
Unexpectedly, now this opponent had actually left him far behind again! For the Kingdom level, Demi-God was almost an impenetrable sky, and Pseudo-God was simply an unattainable sky!
“My strength is actually derived from some ancient inheritance, and the level division is somewhat different. You can say that I have the power to fight against Pseudo-God. But to be honest, I can’t match the peak stage Pseudo-God. If I really face Satan, I can only escape. It’s like this time at the Holy Light Mountain, if I was a step slower in escaping, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”
“Being able to escape in the watch of the peak stage Pseudo-God is enough to show your current level of combat power.” Catherine glanced at Shea, “However, I seem… to be the last to get this news, Royal Highness Prince Consort.”
“Actually, it’s not too late.” Chen Rui shrugged, “If you don’t believe me, ask Shea. She just found out too.”
It was a pity that the Fallen Angel Empire Royal Majesty Empress didn’t seem to hear it, and she didn’t mean to prove it at all, making the Royal Highness Prince Consort speechless for a while.
Raizen’s dissatisfied voice sounded, “Hmph! This is not a place for flirting. Although your strength has reached the level of Pseudo-God, it is not enough to directly compete with Satan. Satan will definitely not stop there. Let’s discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible.”
