Chapter 535: Qin Chu’s Women
There were many native gods on the Heavenly Continent.
But in the eyes of the Lord of Pleasure, most of these gods were just boring and foolish.
He felt only the Earth Mother Goddess could truly understand him. After all, she was the mother goddess who birthed all things in the world, wielding an authority somewhat similar to his own, in some respects.
Of course, this didn’t mean the Lord of Pleasure would therefore show any mercy to O’nibena.
For the Seven Evil Gods of the Void, mercy never existed.
However, if he could seize this opportunity to completely eliminate the Earth Mother Goddess, it would be perfect.
Every world had its own laws, and the Heavenly Continent was naturally no exception. Although the laws of the world varied, one point was absolutely consistent: the rejection of foreign gods.
The laws of the world came into being the moment life was born in this world.
And the first life born in every world was almost always a god.
Once the laws were established, they couldn’t be changed.
Unless all the gods born from the world’s origin died, the laws of the world would be reset.
As long as one god remained, even just a remnant soul, the laws of the world would continue to exist. It was precisely for this reason that the seven Evil Gods in the Void had to eliminate the Goddess of Holy Light and the Goddess of Fate.
Now, seeing the little sapling, the incarnation of the Earth Mother Goddess O’nibena, naturally, he also had to destroy this little sapling.
Otherwise, this world’s rejection and suppression of the Seven Evil Gods of the Void would never disappear.
Killing Qin Chu and preventing him from reassembling Father God’s remains was the most important thing, but eliminating the remnant soul of the Earth Mother Goddess was also a must.
In the void, the Lord of Pleasure slowly took a step.
His stride wasn’t large, but the instant this step was taken, it was like teleportation, his body instantly moving thousands of meters.
Originally far away in the sky, he was now close at hand.
A crack quickly opened in the center of his forehead. A third eye, crimson as blood, as if inlaid with a bright red full moon, appeared at his glabella.
In some mythologies, the moon was also a symbol of lust. During a full moon, all living beings’ desires were at their strongest.
The little sapling also seemed to sense the danger, its leaves rustling.
The branches wrapped around Qin Chu’s body became thicker and thicker. The trunk expanded rapidly, turning into a towering tree in the blink of an eye. Countless dense roots dug into the ground, protecting Qin Chu at the very center of the trunk.
Clearly without a face, just a tree, yet it exuded the feeling of a frail yet determined figure resolutely facing the powerful enemy before it.
This sight made the Lord of Pleasure smile. No matter what, he wouldn’t lose his elegance. His lips parted slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth:
“O’nibena, struggle.”
“Your death is imminent.”
The moment the third eye opened, crimson moonlight surged out, flowing like a tide towards Qin Chu, who was still attempting to break through to the demigod realm.
At this moment, Qin Chu was at the most critical juncture.
His will was highly focused. Everything happening in the outside world, due to the blockade of energy and O’nibena’s remnant soul, was completely imperceptible to Qin Chu. He didn’t know his greatest crisis had silently arrived.
The instant the red moonlight spread, heaven and earth seemed to lose their color. Only that dazzling crimson remained before his eyes.
The vast, expansive glacier was illuminated.
The red moonlight, reflecting off the ice crystals like a mirror, shot up into the sky, even dyeing the sky pink-purple.
Except at the very beginning, the Lord of Pleasure hadn’t spared another glance at the remains of the Strongest Evil God.
That fragmented body still exuded an aura that made the Lord of Pleasure fearful.
…
Almost at the same time.
In a distant forest, a beautiful woman seemed to sense something. She abruptly raised her head, looking towards the distance.
In the sky of the far north, the crimson reaching the heavens made the woman’s body tremble inexplicably.
She felt it, that familiar aura.
An unprecedentedly thick aura.
There was no mistake; that was a god from the void, having descended upon this world.
The excessive excitement even twisted Loseweisse’s face.
She didn’t know why a god had descended upon this world, but she knew someone was going to be in trouble… If that unlucky person was Qin Chu, it would be perfect.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Demon Beast Territory, within the Demon King’s Palace, Demon King Nagath also seemed to sense something.
His rough, dark face instantly turned pale.
Indescribable fear made the Demon King feel his soul, gradually fusing with Jie Luo’s, tremble uncontrollably. It was a fear originating from the depths of his soul, a fear he could never escape in this lifetime.
Clearly the most powerful existence among all Demon Beasts, clearly one of the few demigods on the Heavenly Continent, but that instinctive fear made the Demon King’s reaction even worse than Ireta’s.
His scalp tingled, goosebumps instantly appearing on his tough skin.
An almost despairing wail escaped his throat.
The next instant, the Demon King could no longer bear that despairing fear. With a suppressed roar, he fled from the laboratory almost in a panic, like a madman who had lost his mind.
He couldn’t even maintain his composure, his legs trembling incessantly, stumbling, fleeing all the way to the deepest basement of the Demon King’s Palace.
Only upon reaching that huge head did the terrifying pressure finally cease.
With the pressure gone, the Demon King’s body seemed to have finally reached its limit. His legs weakened abruptly, and he fell to his knees with a plop sound. Drops of liquid dripped from his face onto the ground before him, shattering like ice crystals.
A crimson mist filled the Demon King’s vision.
His entire body was drenched in sweat.
His throat worked like a bellows as he gasped for breath.
This was the first time Demon King Nagath had experienced such fear. Before this, he had only heard from Jie Luo how terrifying those existences in the Void were. He knew those existences were powerful, but he hadn’t truly felt it.
Until now. Even though the place where the Evil God descended was still thousands of kilometers away from the Demon King’s Palace, he truly felt it.
It was an existence he absolutely couldn’t contend with.
The urge to escape this world welled up in his chest, stronger than ever before.
Earth, Earth. That world without extraordinary abilities is the most suitable world for me to live in.
Auville Empire, Imperial City.
Hero’s Residence.
Athena, who had been focusing all her energy on diligently cultivating these days, suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest.
With an almost painful wail, Athena abruptly opened her lips, vomiting a mouthful of blood with a wa sound.
Athena raised her head in a daze. Opposite the bed was the dressing table. The mirror reflected a pale face, a pair of chestnut eyes filled with bloodshot threads and thick, irresolvable fear.
Athena didn’t know why she would suffer such a strong stimulation during cultivation. She subconsciously placed her hand on her chest. She could feel her heart beating at an unprecedented speed.
Goosebumps covered her originally smooth skin.
That intense fear originated from her soul.
Suddenly, a flash of understanding crossed Athena’s mind.
Her eyes widened. A thought couldn’t help but arise.
Qin Chu… is in danger.
Athena didn’t know why she suddenly had this thought. Perhaps because of that brief soul fusion after Qin Chu completely destroyed the altar in her soul, shattering the shackles left by the Void Evil God, a mysterious connection formed between Athena and Qin Chu.
Without any reason at all, Athena simply judged that Qin Chu must have encountered mortal danger.
This woman could no longer sit still.
She knew Qin Chu’s strength was formidable. Moreover, Qin Chu left with Anthea, Big Shaye, and Little Shaye this time. Little Shaye was even a demigod. If they encountered danger even they couldn’t handle, then her going over would just add another corpse.
Qin Chu’s face quickly flashed through her mind.
Athena took a deep breath. She wouldn’t just sit here and do nothing.
A magic scroll appeared in her palm.
It was a spatial transfer scroll personally made by Big Shaye, given to Athena by Qin Chu before he left. The connection in her soul allowed Athena to roughly know Qin Chu’s location.
As the scroll unfolded, Athena’s figure instantly vanished from the boudoir.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace.
The Auville Empire had almost completely fallen into chaos.
Wadsworth, the Emperor, had long gone mad.
The vast Imperial Palace was now deserted. Even maids and consorts were rarely seen within the palace.
Some had already fled; some had been killed by the out-of-control Wadsworth. At this moment, no one dared to stay by Wadsworth’s side any longer.
The conflict with the nobles also intensified. In the past few days, another large batch of nobles died at Wadsworth’s hands, personally killed by Wadsworth.
But right now, this Wadsworth, who besides his outer appearance, no longer resembled a human, suddenly stopped, motionless.
His rough face stared towards the northernmost part of the Empire. The crimson in the sky could be sensed even from a great distance.
His eyes gradually turned crimson, ferocious, angry, and brutal.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…
Strange sounds seemed to come from Wadsworth’s throat.
Beneath his skin, numerous streaks, like tentacles, continuously wriggled.
The next instant, Wadsworth suddenly raised his right hand, slamming it forcefully into the empty space before him.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the space before him shattered like glass under Wadsworth’s strike.
The next second, without looking back, Wadsworth directly stepped into the shattered space.
Meanwhile.
Carol and Grand Mage Natia of Sage Mountain were together, wandering near the Imperial Palace.
This period, for Carol, had been very difficult and filled with anxiety.
Qin Chu had warned her to absolutely not approach Father King again.
Moreover, judging from Father King dismissing all his most beloved consorts and children, and the massacre of these past few days, Father King had truly lost control.
Approaching Father King at this moment wouldn’t bring anything good. Perhaps even her own life would end there.
But Carol was ultimately a member of the royal family; she couldn’t bear to just watch and do nothing.
On one hand, Carol was trying hard to persuade those nobles who truly cared about the Empire to lie low and absolutely not approach the Emperor during this period, no matter what happened.
On the other hand, Carol still tried to see Father King again.
And every time, Carol’s attempts were stopped by Natia.
Natia knew Carol couldn’t let go of the responsibility flowing in her blood, but Natia also knew Qin Chu had specifically instructed her to keep a close eye on Carol and absolutely not let her do anything foolish.
Just then, Carol suddenly felt the small hand holding her wrist stiffen.
She looked at the older sister beside her with some confusion, not knowing what had happened. But just this glance made Carol’s heart twitch slightly.
Natia’s face at this moment even seemed somewhat vacant.
Her originally beautiful golden eyes were now completely empty.
As if… she had suddenly lost her soul.
After a few seconds, light returned to those eyes.
However, the feeling they gave Carol was completely different from before. The small hand holding her wrist also loosened at this moment.
Natia quietly glanced at Carol. That look was completely different from the Natia Carol knew, making Carol feel exceptionally unfamiliar.
Her gaze didn’t linger on Carol for long. Natia quickly retracted her gaze, looking towards the distance.
“Return to the residence. Don’t go anywhere.”
The next second, Natia’s body slowly floated up into the air.
Then her entire being instantly transformed into a beam of light… a starlight, falling towards the north like a meteor.
…
Ice Duchy.
The commotion in the depths of the glacier was felt most strongly in the Ice Duchy.
The impact generated the moment the Lord of Pleasure descended directly affected the Ice Duchy.
Instantly, within the entire Duchy, countless buildings collapsed. Even large cracks appeared on the sturdy city walls.
People panicked in the city, not knowing what kind of disaster had befallen the Duchy again.
The following crimson glow, spanning a distance of one or two thousand kilometers, cast a crimson veil over the Ice Duchy.
That scene was like the arrival of doomsday.
Within the royal palace, the expressions of the girls waiting for Qin Chu’s return all changed at this moment.
Big and Little Shaye exchanged glances. Both sensed a familiar aura, a power originating from the void.
Without any hesitation, these two Dark Witches almost simultaneously unfolded magic scrolls, wanting to enter the deepest part of the glacier.
They didn’t even have time to explain to others what they had sensed.
But just as the two were about to act, a small hand stopped them. It was Angelica.
“You two, take me with you,” a slightly unfamiliar voice came from Angelica’s cherry lips.
Big Shaye paused slightly, then quickly reacted, her crimson eyes narrowing into slits: “You’re not Angelica?”
“That’s right. Now, I am the Moon Goddess, Cynthia.”
Cynthia stretched the body she had just occupied somewhat lazily. Not having a physical body for a long time seemed to make Cynthia feel somewhat unaccustomed.
Her golden eyes looked towards the far north, at the most intensely colored part of the sky:
“It’s time for this remnant soul of mine to burn!”
