"I know you're one of Sariel's people. Our positions are different; I had no choice but to attack you. If you want to kill me, I have nothing to say..." Leslie's expression was pitiful, especially those resentful eyes that involuntarily stirred sympathy in others.
This woman was indeed one of the experts Satan had sent to this mysterious place. Her purpose was surely to escort Tiffany to some "gate," and, of course, to crush Sariel's competing team.
Chen Rui understood everything clearly. This was a special contest. Whether Satan's team or Sariel's team, both were merely manipulated chess pieces, slaughtering and wearing each other down upon this chessboard. The players gambling behind the scenes were the two pseudo-gods, Satan and Sariel.
Augulas had once said that wherever Origin Crystals existed, even pseudo-god-level powerhouses could be completely annihilated at any time. Only those with the special constitution of light and darkness fused as one could survive. The members of both Sariel's and Satan's teams possessed highly unusual constitutions and all sorts of special abilities. Though they had encountered no small number of dangers, they had still survived. However, not a single one of them possessed a light-dark dual constitution.
Perhaps both the Land of Bewilderment and this Land of Floating Specters had special rules restricting pseudo-god-level power, but neither was the place Augulas had spoken of. That place should be the Chaotic Realm beyond the "gate," the truly most perilous location. Even powerhouses closest to godhood, like Satan and Sariel, dared not set foot there themselves. That was why they manipulated these chess pieces into going.
Chen Rui did not know whether there were other understandings or rules in the game between the two pseudo-gods. He only knew that in such a game, any chess piece could be discarded at any
