Devil's Son-in-Law

Chen Rui didn’t understand what happened for a while, but seeing Raizen’s rare shocked expression and Catherine’s horrified gaze behind her veil, it must be an unbelievable truth.

“How could you possibly be him!” Raizen shouted angrily, ignoring his injuries. He clenched his fists until they turned white. He wanted to break free, but the black lightning shone and suppressed him again. There were blood spills from his face.

“Nothing is impossible.” Teris shook his head, “Raizen, you are still the same. I told you when I was fighting against the human world, a ruler should always keep calm and be merciless. You are too arrogant and too obsessed with the pursuit of personal strength. In fact, you are more suitable to be a fighter than a ruler.”

Since Raizen and Catherine yelled out the 3 words [Dream Galaxy Territory], Shea’s facial expression became weird. Now, although ‘Teris’ evaluation of Raizen was pertinent, it faintly criticized Raizen’s remark on Shea as ‘not a qualified ruler’.

Meanwhile, Catherine had recovered from the shock, and she smiled bitterly, “Although it is unbelievable… you are right, you won this war, Midnight Sun.”

Midnight Sun! The name Catherine said made Chen Rui confused in an instant.

The great man of the past generation, the Demon Realm’s top powerhouse, the Lord and God of War of the Fallen Angel Empire, Midnight Sun Lucifer?

The Lord of Midnight Sun, who has become a legend, is actually the ‘Teris’ in front of us? This is ridiculous!

No wonder Catherine and Raizen showed that expression.

Midnight Sun should have died in the war when attacking the human world more than 300 years ago. When Midnight Sun died, the power of the Fallen Angel Empire was seized by Obsidian. Midnight Sun’s son, Shea’s father Grimm, was driven to the dilapidated Dark Moon Estate, where he began a life of oppression and died of it in the end. It was not until the Shea’s generation that she regained the throne, but suddenly a man came back from the dead… grandfather? This grandfather used Teris’ body and even called Raizen as ‘father’ for 200 years?

Chen Rui felt his brain was in a mess, then Catherine’s voice sounded, “Are you Midnight Sun or Teris?”

“I’m Teris. Mammon and Midnight Sun Lucifer.” Teris replied calmly.

“Possession and reborn?” Chen Rui couldn’t help but blurt out.

“I don’t know what possession is, but it is not considered reborn because although my body was destroyed in the war back then, my soul was lucky enough to be saved.” Teris’ eyes were fixed on Raizen’s face, “Raizen, your son Teris is also in this body. It’s just that his soul gave the dominance to me now. Most of the time, I am in a deep sleep state. Your son is indispensable for the Bloodfall’s current situation… including your current desperate situation.”

Raizen gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure the internal and external suffering as he shouted, “What actually happened?”

Teris said unhurriedly, “300 years ago, our army was defeated in the human world. By chance, I got the Bloodfall Orb and… for some special reasons, I was assaulted by a super powerhouse and died.” Teris seemed unwilling to mention the specific course of this incident, “Fortunately, my soul remained attached to the Bloodfall Orb and was kept by someone until the army was defeated and returned to the Demon Realm. You also know this person, Ragnaros. Samael.”

“Ragnaros!” Catherine realized something, “The former patriarch of the Samael Royal Family!”

Teris went on to say that the Wrath Empire was destroyed by the Mammon Family. The Samael Royal Family, who loved their homeland and were unwilling to give in, had always been the thorn for the Bloody Empire’s emperor. If it were not for the secret support of Midnight Sun, they would have fallen to Raizen’s bloody method. Although Midnight Sun had his own motive, it was an indisputable fact that he did a great favor to the entire Samael Royal Family.

After the defeat in the human world, Ragnaros took the Bloodfall Orb back to the Demon Realm. Although the soul of Midnight Sun survived by chance, it was severely damaged. He had been lurking under the help of Ragnaros. In the midst of extreme changes, he began to plan 2 things. The first thing was to try to restore the soul power of the Midnight Sun and find a suitable body to resurrect it with the secret technique. The second thing was to prepare the secret organization with the original purpose of ‘annihilating the Bloody Empire’. It was named after the artifact, the ‘Bloodfall’.

Only then did Chen Rui and others know why Midnight Sun disappeared without any news after dying. Teris’ tone changed, “More than 100 years have passed. The foundation of the Bloodfall is strong, and my soul power is gradually recovering. At this time, an important turning point occurred. I met someone, your son Teris. In order to transfer my soul, Ragnaros paid the price of his life, and I promised him to take care of the Samael Royal Family.”

Raizen shook slightly. Chen Rui had heard the rumors about the Samael Royal Family who was the Demon Realm’s royal family who was the most courageous and skillful in war. Although the empire was destroyed by the Bloody Empire, it never really surrendered and chaos often occurred. This situation continued until the Bloody Empire’s Lord Raizen ascended the throne. Raizen also used bloody means to suppress them at the beginning, then Young Prince Teris changed everything.

More than 100 years ago, Teris somehow persuaded Raizen to use Gustav, the young patriarch of the Samael Royal Family at the time, to be the first general of the empire. He also used various methods to make the Samael Royal Family completely surrender. This stabilized the Bloody Empire’s internal turmoil. According to what ‘Teris’ said now, this was exactly the beginning of the real turmoil!

“Teris’ dark element physique fits very well with my soul. The most important thing is… he accepted my soul voluntarily.”

This sentence made Raizen in the black lightning clench his fist tightly, and more blood overflowed from his face.

Looking at Raizen’s reaction, a strange smile appeared on ‘Teris’’ face, “Your son is far above you whether in terms of talent, wisdom, or ambition. In some respects, even I only have admiration for him. The Bloodfall really grew in his hands. However, in your eyes, Teris’ training aptitude has always been an incurable shortcoming. For this reason, he has become the young prince whom you least value and have the least hope of inheriting the throne. Now… your empire, as well as the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire, is annihilated in his plan! “

“Annihilation… also includes the Fallen Angel Empire?” Shea finally uttered. Due to the strength of the Bloodfall enchantment, her teeth had begun to tremble, but she held on and said it out.

Teris took a deep look at Shea and nodded slowly, “The new order is often based on the destruction of the old order. The Fallen Angel Empire is also the object to be buried. Shea, you are stronger than your father Grimm, but not enough. I’m sorry, you can only accept the fate of a loser and die here as well.”

Shea trembled as she squeezed Chen Rui’s hand, “Your Majesty Midnight Sun, maybe I should call this soul Sir Grandfather… You’re the god of war worshiped by everyone in the empire, and you have become a legendary hero in the Demon Realm! Why…”

Teris was silent for a moment before he replied, “The hero has fallen, and now, there is only the ruthless hero.”

“The ruthless heroes cannot coexist.” Chen Rui felt the turbulence in Shea’s mind as her breath of life became weaker, so he immediately said, “Since Teris is ambitious, do you think he is willing to share the same body with you forever?”

“Naive provocation!” Teris sneered, “How can you ants understand the mind of the real powerhouse? Unifying the Demon Realm is just the first step. His goal is to become the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm while my ultimate goal is to become a God!”

“Not Demi-God or Pseudo-God, but God?” Catherine’s voice revealed obvious unbelief. In fact, she had been secretly accumulating the power of Nirvana to make the last fight, but it’s a pity that the Bloodfall enchantment’s devour and suppression were too strong, so her strength was weakened step by step uncontrollably.

However, the idea of ‘​​becoming a God’ was too impossible. Although training to become a super powerhouse was extremely difficult, there were still many in the history of the Demon Realm, but becoming a God was unique; at most was a Pseudo-God. Now that the Midnight Sun actually arrogantly said he wanted to become god, no one really believed it.

“What if my newly established empire is a brand-new regime that integrates religion and rule? What if I, the ruler, will become the highest object of popular belief? What if… those who believe in me live, and those who do not believe in me will die?”

“Believe in you?” Catherine was really perplexed, “You’re crazy!”

“I’m not crazy, I just experienced some things, died once, and figured out a lot of things!” Teris suddenly clenched his fist, “What is a super powerhouse? So what if I’m a Pseudo-God? What’s the big deal about becoming a legend? Everything is nothing but a lowly plaything in front of a God! Only the real God is eternal and immortal!”

Chen Rui only felt that these words were familiar. It seemed that he had heard similar theories from an Elemental King.

“Putting aside the rest of the Demi-Gods, don’t you fear the punishment of the gods if you steal their faith like this?”

“Hmph, I’m not the first to steal faith. You are just an ignorant person who is unknown to the truth. Moreover, as long as I can really build this kind of kingdom, the rest of the Demi-Gods will not become my obstacles. In contrast, we will become partners with common interests. “

“As for God…” Teris’ eyes flashed with a strange expression, “Have you heard of ‘Twilight of the Gods’?”

“That’s just a legend that had been buried in the legend.”

Catherine said coldly, “Do you want to use this to deceive yourself?”

“In fact, the Gods have not shown miracles for a long time. No matter whether they are asleep or not, no matter how difficult it is, I only know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When they wake up, maybe I have become an existence that they need to look up at.” Teris’ eyes became a little excited, “By the way, the legend says that the Twilight of the Gods is related to the 7 artifacts. After I unify the Demon Realm, I can try to gather and comprehend the mystery of the artifacts of the 7 great royal families. This will be a substantial bargaining chip. It just so happens that there are 4 artifacts in front of me.”

Of course what Teris said was Shea’s Sword of Fallen Angel by Shea, Catherine’s Dark Shadow Cape, Raizen’s Bloody Ring, and Chen Rui’s God-Eating Mask. The Bloody Empire’s First General Gustav was obviously under Teris, so the Wrath King Armor must also be in his hands.

However, Teris didn’t know that the Breeze Shadow Boots of the Belphegor Royal Family was lost in the human world more than 100 years ago, and the Sword of Fallen Angel that should belong to Shea, plus the Demon Shield of the Leviathan Royal Family, were all in Aguile’s hands.

At this moment, Raizen, who had been silent, suddenly shouted, and the Bloody Ring in his hand emitted a strong light. He jumped up and pounced toward Teris…
