Chapter 574: The Evil God’s Ambition
I will go!
These two short words resounded like a giant bell.
In the void, countless meteors were instantly shattered into fragments.
The other five Evil Gods weren’t surprised by this.
The God of Blood, Death, and Darkness loved slaughter the most… Last time, if the Lord of Pleasure hadn’t stepped forward so quickly, this deity would have likely taken on this task himself. This time, he definitely wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
When the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness accepted this task, the responsibility of suppressing the Goddess of Holy Light fell upon the other Evil Gods.
This crude and powerful deity didn’t say much, not even waiting for the other gods’ responses. His consciousness gradually disappeared.
After all, entering the main world below from the Void wasn’t an easy task.
Upon the throne of bones, the great god’s body remained as majestic as ever.
His crimson eyes seemed to pierce the world below with a gaze like a sharp sword… Deep within his eyes, blood flowed.
Countless thoughts flickered within his pupils.
Qin Chu.
A mere mortal.
Although powerful, a mortal was ultimately just a mortal.
He had never worried about killing Qin Chu. He had never even considered that lowly lifeform as his enemy.
He wasn’t worthy!
Of course, this didn’t mean he would show that insignificant human any mercy.
Mercy didn’t exist in his vocabulary. Therefore, even if that insignificant life wasn’t worthy of being his enemy, he would still use his battle axe to crush Qin Chu’s body, use his sharp teeth to chew on his soul, and savor his blood.
The sounds of splattering blood and shattering bones were his favorite music.
Moreover, within this insect-like human’s body, there was something he must obtain.
That’s right, this God of Blood, Death, and Darkness’s descent this time wasn’t simply targeting Qin Chu, his offspring, or his puppets. In his eyes, those were just insignificant things. What he truly cared about were other existences… For example, Father God’s remains.
As the one wielding the authority of death and combat, no one craved power more than him.
Although Father God had long fallen, boundless power still resided within his remains.
If he could fuse Father God’s remains into his own body…
A twisted, greedy smile gradually appeared on his rough face, covered in crimson bloodstains and fur.
Within the cage, the Little Goddess of Holy Light, Lucia, remained quietly curled up in the corner.
It seemed quite some time had passed since Qin Chu last appeared to provide her with energy. A slight irritation appeared on Lucia’s small face.
She didn’t understand where this irritation came from, but the scenes of her brief time with Qin Chu involuntarily surfaced in her mind, each image so clear, as if she would never forget them.
Her slender arms hugged her knees.
Her pearly white teeth gently bit her lower lip.
A faint blush even appeared on her fair cheeks.
She didn’t know when Qin Chu would appear next… Actually, Lucia knew very well it wouldn’t be soon. After all, Qin Chu had just left; not much time had passed at all.
The scene of their last meeting involuntarily appeared in her mind… After killing the Lord of Pleasure, when Qin Chu first appeared in the Void, it was still understandable.
At that time, she didn’t even have the strength to draw energy from Qin Chu, so she was forced to kiss him, letting Qin Chu transfer energy into her body so she could move.
But last time, there was clearly no need for that anymore. The Little Goddess of Holy Light couldn’t understand why she still kissed Qin Chu.
Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter. Crazy, her mind must have short-circuited. Otherwise, how could she do such a thing?
At this moment, the Little Goddess of Holy Light couldn’t help but let out a small cry.
However, that feeling was quite good.
Anyway, this kind of thing absolutely couldn’t happen again.
It would make that fellow Qin Chu increasingly arrogant.
After all, she was the goddess, and he was just her servant… The Little Goddess of Holy Light waved her small fist slightly, formulating a plan in her heart to reassert her divine authority.
Well, this kind of thought had probably appeared in Lucia’s little head dozens of times already.
After all, this place was simply too boring. What she thought about over and over was basically just this.
Of course, with every thought, the plan in her heart became more perfect… Only to be completely forgotten the next time Qin Chu appeared, restarting another cycle of annoyance after her servant left.
This time was no different. Just as the Little Goddess of Holy Light happily prepared her meticulous plan in her heart, she suddenly felt her cage shake slightly.
Then, creaking sounds, like metal grinding, reached her ears.
This sound was truly unpleasant, the kind that made one extremely irritated just by hearing it.
Inevitably, Lucia was woken up by this sound, forced out of her thoughts. Displeasure clearly showed on her face, her delicate brows furrowing. She looked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, the Little Goddess of Holy Light understood the cause of this commotion.
On the cage, among the chains that had already become slightly sparser, a crimson chain, like a python releasing its prey, was slowly uncoiling.
Lucia’s expression gradually turned solemn. She knew the origin of this chain. This chain symbolized the power of the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness.
Watching the chain gradually detach from the cage, no longer binding it, Lucia’s beautiful eyes flickered rapidly.
This short-tempered, battle-loving fellow, who even during the gods’ meetings, would intermittently let out roars, what exactly did he want to do?
Soon, Lucia thought of the previous time, when the Lord of Pleasure left the Void, the omen was almost the same.
Could it be that the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness was also preparing to leave the Void and enter the main world below?
This thought made the Little Goddess of Holy Light’s heart race with anxiety.
This wasn’t good news.
After all, compared to the Lord of Pleasure, an Evil God who liked to influence and control living beings with lust, the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness was a pure combatant. All his authorities existed for battle.
Those Evil Gods in the Void, they might be more terrifying than this god wielding the authorities of death and war in some aspects. For example, the God of Plagues and Misfortune, the plagues he created could easily cause tens of millions of deaths.
The Lord of Pleasure could make the entire world fall into depravity in a short time.
The Weaver of Fate was similar to Moirae, controlling the authority of fate to a certain extent.
The Evil of Chaos could drive any living being who saw him mad, making life worse than death.
These existences were all exceptionally dangerous without exception. But if purely comparing combat power, no Evil God could surpass the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness.
For such a decisive and powerful god to enter the world below was definitely a very bad situation. If this guy was also going to deal with Qin Chu…
Lucia’s heart became even more anxious.
She was still very weak at this moment, far from her state last time, having had enough time to recover.
Although Qin Chu had now ascended to demigod and could provide more energy, the number of times he provided energy was simply too few.
The current Little Goddess of Holy Light didn’t have the ability to launch a resistance and attract the attention of the Void Gods again. She would be quickly suppressed, perhaps even noticed by other Evil Gods due to her weakness and completely eliminated.
Lucia couldn’t sit still anymore. Her small body even sat up from the bottom of the cage, pacing back and forth anxiously on the floor, her brows furrowed tightly.
But suddenly, Lucia stopped.
An indescribable expression appeared on her face, a mixture of shock and even joy.
As the crimson chain gradually detached from the surface of the cage, Lucia felt it.
It was an existence she hadn’t sensed through normal means in a thousand years… power and faith.
Originating from the most devout faith of the believers in the main world below.
A sudden understanding dawned on Lucia. This was because the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness’s restraint on the cage was weakening bit by bit, causing a small loophole to finally appear in the originally perfect blockade around the cage. The faith from below could finally reach her.
At this moment, Lucia let out a long sigh of relief.
She was no longer panicked. Her body just sat back down on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
But all the pores on her body opened at this moment. The Little Goddess of Holy Light, in an almost greedy manner, devoured the faith emanating from the main world.
She knew, besides Qin Chu, she had another way to recover her strength.
And this path, with the departure of the God of Blood, Death, and Darkness, was gradually widening, from a trickle gradually turning into a surging river.
Faith surged frantically, even trying to actively flow into Lucia’s body.
This situation made Lucia couldn’t help but sigh. That fellow Qin Chu had actually, in such a short time, created such exaggerated faith on the Heavenly Continent.
Even during the era when theocracy was at its strongest in the main world, even the combined faith of all the goddess’s believers on the Heavenly Continent and the Godblessed Continent wasn’t as strong as now.
How could Lucia imagine just how great the temptation of bread and milk was for those poor people?
For bread and milk, offering one’s faith was practically costless, the simplest thing.
As for what Lucia thought, during the era when theocracy was at its strongest, what people feared and believed in wasn’t necessarily the Goddess of Holy Light, but perhaps the Pope who held the theocratic power at that time.
…
Meanwhile.
On the Heavenly Continent, Qin Chu, following Lomond’s voice towards the ravine behind the Demon King’s Palace, clearly sensed a change.
The faith of the Holy See believers was originally an offering for the Goddess of Holy Light, Lucia.
However, because Lucia was sealed in the Void, these offerings couldn’t be directly absorbed by Lucia. Instead, they would converge on Qin Chu, her servant, who would then deliver this faith to the Goddess of Holy Light during his weekly power bank duties.
Of course, Qin Chu wasn’t the Goddess of Holy Light.
Nor did he wield the authority of light.
Therefore, the amount of faith Qin Chu’s body could store was actually limited.
Plus, Veronica was simply too efficient.
She treated every word Qin Chu said as a divine decree. Qin Chu said to expand the number of believers, and Veronica devoted all her energy to this matter. This captain of the Holy Knights even had the urge to turn every living being in the entire Empire into a believer of the Holy See.
Truly worthy of being a potential fanatic.
With more believers, the purity and loyalty rate decreased somewhat, but the sheer number was simply too exaggerated. So the faith generated now was increasing day by day.
With Qin Chu’s current strength, in less than a day, the generated faith would reach the limit his body could store.
The excess faith would mostly dissipate into the sky, like an increasingly thick, white fog.
However, besides Qin Chu, no one else could perceive this dense fog.
It was at this moment that Qin Chu sensed it. Within the white fog accumulated over time above, a huge vortex gradually formed, like a reverse funnel, leading towards the endless starry sky.
In the starry sky, the only existence who could absorb the Goddess of Holy Light’s faith, besides the Little Goddess of Holy Light herself, was no other.
Could it be…
In the Void, a loophole appeared in the seal and suppression on the Little Goddess of Holy Light, allowing her to draw faith and energy from the main world?
Qin Chu’s brow furrowed tightly. What exactly happened in the Void?
He vaguely had a premonition that this wasn’t good news.
Qin Chu quickly pieced together the information in his mind.
The Evil Gods in the Void wouldn’t relax their suppression on the Goddess of Holy Light for no reason.
Every chain wrapped around the cage was a manifestation of the Void Evil Gods’ will. Breaking through this blockade wasn’t easy. It was these chains that blocked the Goddess of Holy Light’s ability to receive faith from the main world.
Then Qin Chu quickly reached a conclusion… Another Evil God was about to descend upon this world.
Only when an Evil God left the Void would a chain disappear.
With the chain gone, a loophole would appear in the suppression, and the Goddess of Holy Light could seize the opportunity to absorb faith.
But… he didn’t know which god would descend.
And what was this god’s target?
Him, this Hero who repeatedly thwarted the Evil Gods’ plans?
Loseweisse, the descendant of an Evil God?
Or the Second Jie Luo, the puppet of the Evil God?
Or perhaps… the remains of the Strongest Evil God within his body, and those buried deep within the Demon King’s Palace?
