Chapter 2495  Interesting

As mentioned in the past, the Light Devils exist in the Underworld to keep a balance between the Underworld and Heavens. At the same time, there are Dark Angels in the Heavens, too. Mephisto's group then attacked once again, but they couldn't get the advantage.

The Underworld Relic is the treasure of the Underworld, used to help protect it. In the hands of a Peak Stage Elder Devil, it showed a power that could fight several Archangel at once. It's just that this power only worked in the Underworld, so it would be useless to bring this Relic anywhere else.

However, Rui's opponents aren't Archangels, which was the original intention of the Relic. They were Devils, so the power the Relic could display wasn't as effective against Mephisto's group. Nonetheless, the fact Rui could fight three Elder Devils at the same level as him already showed how powerful the Relic is.

The problem was Devilish Energy. The Relic definitely used a lot of it, and in a battle of attrition, he definitely wouldn't last as long as Mephisto and the others. As Rui fought back, he continued to complain. "But those are the rules of the Underworld. The Elder Devil's Clan that wins the competition will hold the Relic for the next thousand years. There is no way the angels will attack again during such a short time. Why are you being too hasty about it? You could simply wait for the next competition and win it back. I don't have those two with me anymore."

*Bang!*

Another shake made the ground crack as the Underworld Relic shone with Dark Element, Dark Laws, and Space Power. Yet, Mephisto pushed through the destructive power. "That was the plan. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that anymore. I can only break the agreement and take the Underworld Relic back. This battle can stop in a single second if you want. All you need to do is to give the Underworld Relic away. There is no way you can win this? Trying to contact the other Elder Devils is also useless. I made sure of it."

Suddenly, a drop of blood came out of the Underworld Relic, entering Rui's body. With that, the bond to the Relic he had was now undone, and the Relic could accept a new owner.

*Zush!*

Rui then threw the Underworld Relic to Mephisto, who quickly grabbed it excitedly. He checked with his Divine Sense to see if there was anything wrong and finally nodded. "It's finally back in my hands. Even though just a few years had passed, I felt like I was missing a part of me..."

Rui wasn't in the mood to see that emotional reunion. "Stop wasting my time and tell me. What is this all about? What scared you so much to make you seek the Underworld Relic before the competition?"

Mephisto then used his blood to bind the Underworld Relic to himself and put it away. "The one to tell me about that was senior Black Locust."

"Black Locust?!" Rui breathed coldly after hearing this name. That was the name of another one of the Semi-Celestials, experts at the same level as Huban, Gragatou, and Kafan.

Mephisto nodded and deactivated the formation. He wasn't lying. If Rui had put his all into escaping, even Mephisto probably wouldn't have been able to stop Rui since they are at the same level. Besides, the Underworld Relic needs time to readapt to a new master, so the Relic was pretty much useless to Mephisto for the next few days. He couldn't use its power now.

Mephisto then continued. "Senior Black Locust informed me that this Universe won't stay intact for long. Things are about to get interesting..."
