Chen Rui's disappearance startled Raphael. He had never expected that this weak fellow would swagger away right under his nose. The "Dimensional Soul Seal," capable of imprisoning souls, was an extraordinarily powerful secret art; even ordinary demigods could not break free from it. Raphael had spent considerable time secretly preparing it in order to capture this avatar alive, only for it all to turn into a joke in the end.
The supreme angel gave a cold snort and did not spare another glance for the unconscious "ants" on the ground. His figure gradually faded into space.
At the same time, in a room somewhere in Gold Star City, Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes. A flicker of red light flashed through them and vanished, leaving his pupils normal once more.
The power of the Dimensional Soul Seal truly was no trivial matter. Even from such a great distance, Chen Rui's main body could feel a faint tremor in his soul. Unfortunately, this soul secret art had no effect whatsoever on the Super System's external avatar. Instead, a trace of its secret-art power had been devoured by Shura's talent. Given time, it might even be possible to simulate the effects of this soul-targeting secret art.
Chen Rui's successful purification of Star Power, release from the True Flame Shackles, and killing of Zehongen had already been unexpected gains, far exceeding his original goals. As for leaving Shura behind in the Starry Space before fleeing, that had been a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Raphael, a supreme angel who held several "positions" as an Angel of Wisdom, Angel of Dominion, and Angel of Powers, was one of the few peak pseudo-gods standing beneath the gods themselves.
Setting everything else aside, Chen Rui was destined to face supreme experts such as Raphael and Michael sooner or later
