Chapter 581: Soul Scattered in Despair
Loseweisse’s soul, originally the same size as her body, was a mass of dense, grey fog, writhing incessantly.
But under the suppression of Qin Chu’s power, her soul was forcibly compressed into a ball, forming a dense, black sphere held within Qin Chu’s palm.
At this moment, as long as Qin Chu exerted even the slightest force with his five fingers, he could instantly crush Loseweisse’s soul.
But Qin Chu didn’t do that.
He just raised his right hand, admiring Loseweisse’s soul in his palm.
The soul, forced into a sphere, still struggled desperately, as if wanting to break free from Qin Chu’s suppression and rush towards her lover.
Perhaps due to the high compression, the surface of the soul sphere actually looked even clearer than the original grey fog. A miniature Loseweisse’s face could be seen on its surface.
This face still held the same appearance as before Loseweisse’s death: blood flowing from her seven orifices, five hideous bloody holes on her forehead.
Loseweisse’s lips were parted forcefully. If one sensed with their soul, they could definitely hear her sharp wails.
Even though her body had already been killed by Jie Luo, within Loseweisse’s soul, Qin Chu still couldn’t sense the slightest hatred towards Jie Luo, only the desperation to clear up the misunderstanding.
This woman’s love for Jie Luo was truly unwavering until death.
Even Qin Chu was moved by Loseweisse’s sincere feelings. Therefore, Qin Chu magnanimously decided to tell Loseweisse’s soul the whole truth.
Ronald, Benson, Muse, Karsus, Eileen… For all the enemies he personally killed, Qin Chu didn’t give them many chances.
After killing their bodies, he would also incinerate their souls to ashes.
But Loseweisse was clearly an exception. Qin Chu planned to let her soul linger a bit longer.
“Shh…” Qin Chu made a gentle sound.
But this sound, besides Qin Chu and Loseweisse’s soul in his palm, couldn’t be heard even by Little Shaye, who was close by… Qin Chu directly used his power to send this sound into Loseweisse’s soul.
Hearing Qin Chu’s voice, the originally struggling soul suddenly quieted down. The face on the surface of the soul sphere turned, a pair of eyes, streaming with dark red liquid, staring fixedly at Qin Chu.
Completely different from when facing Jie Luo, even though Qin Chu had just spoken for her, upon seeing Qin Chu, Loseweisse’s eyes were still filled with anger and hatred.
That twisted soul grinned almost madly, revealing sharp teeth, as if wanting to pounce on Qin Chu and tear off a piece of his fresh flesh.
“Do you hate me?”
“Loseweisse, you have no reason to hate me, truly,” the smile on Qin Chu’s face didn’t change in the slightest as he sent his voice into Loseweisse’s soul bit by bit.
“You must understand, I haven’t done anything wrong to you. On the contrary, you wholeheartedly wanted to kill me even though I hadn’t harmed or offended you in any way… Rather, you even truly killed me once…”
“Ah, you probably don’t know, after all, in this life, this didn’t happen.”
Killed Qin Chu once? This life?
Loseweisse’s soul, originally filled with anger and rage, seemed to be stimulated by something, suddenly trembling violently. From Qin Chu’s words, Loseweisse’s soul sensed some different information.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
“It seems you understand something. As expected of the former Saintess, so smart. You guessed correctly. I, actually, died once, killed by you… Sigh, I lived for seven years on the Heavenly Continent that time. We repelled the Demon Beasts together, we killed the Demon King together, but in the end, you stabbed me in the back… But I was quite lucky. A powerful witch, forced… ahem, willingly entangled with me, reversed time, allowing me to return to when I first arrived in this world…”
Actually, the current Qin Chu had begun to doubt, was reversing time truly the Dark Witch Shaye Shub-Niggurath’s doing?
Not necessarily!
After all, although Shaye Shub-Niggurath’s strength was formidable, she didn’t have the power to reverse time.
One must know, in this world, there existed many, many beings far more powerful than Shaye Shub-Niggurath… The seven Evil Gods in the Void, the Goddess of Holy Light, the Goddess of Fate…
Reversing even the time of these existences, even with a large number of souls and flesh as sacrifices, even sacrificing all of the Dark Witch’s power, it was absolutely impossible.
Qin Chu had already begun to speculate that behind the Dark Witch Shaye Shub-Niggurath, there must be some other, even more powerful, mysterious force.
An arrangement by the Goddess of Fate?
Or the remaining will of the Strongest Evil God?
Undoubtedly, this information had a strong impact on Loseweisse’s will. Her soul, as if struck by lightning, froze stiff in Qin Chu’s palm, motionless.
The eyes on her soul were filled with endless fear, even despair.
“So, do you understand now? All your arrangements, all your plans, I know them all clearly. I even know everything more clearly than you.”
“From the very beginning, you were destined to fail.”
“Oh, right, you thought you were the one who pushed Ekaterina into the fire pit? No, that’s not the case. Before Ekaterina truly entered the fire pit, she had already drunk the Love of a Thousand Years potion… Mm, that bottle of Love of a Thousand Years was also snatched from your subordinates… You might have already forgotten, it was those two idiots you sent to deal with Angelica.”
“Ah, and another thing, the money hidden in your boudoir, sealed by magic, I stole it… Those seven scrolls that could connect to the Void, I also took them. And the remaining six bottles of Love of a Thousand Years you hid, I borrowed them as well. Their effects are truly quite good… You poor thing, actually suspecting Augustus, it’s truly hilarious.”
Qin Chu had already told Loseweisse some truths before. And now, Qin Chu was telling Loseweisse everything he had omitted.
The more she knew, the more Loseweisse’s soul suffered.
Just like now, Loseweisse’s soul was clearly stimulated. She screamed and wailed, her soul struggling almost madly in Qin Chu’s palm, trying to break free from his grasp.
Unfortunately, her power was simply too weak before Qin Chu, especially now that only her soul remained.
“The marks of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess and the Holy See on your stockings in Benson’s possession, I deliberately left them there. That fool Karsus actually excitedly rushed over and slaughtered over three thousand Holy Knights, all of whom were about to become your subordinates.”
“Understand now, Loseweisse? In this life, in my eyes, all your actions were so laughable… You know, watching you run to the depths of the Demon Beast Territory, to the Endless Sea, desperately collecting the materials needed for Jie Luo’s resurrection, it was like watching a clown.”
Sorrow, despair like a madman’s.
Loseweisse’s soul was filled with gloom and darkness.
“When you noticed the special bloodline flowing within you, did you think you were the chosen one, the daughter of a god? Did you feel a sense of superiority?”
“Actually, Jie Luo was right. You’re not the daughter of any proper god at all. What flows within you is the most evil, most rotten, most filthy liquid in this world. Half of your bloodline comes from those filthy Evil Gods in the Void.”
“Those aren’t good things at all.”
“Do you know why you loved Jie Luo so deeply? Because Jie Luo’s body was precisely condensed by those ugly Evil Gods using their own power. Your so-called love for Jie Luo stemmed from this instinctive attraction…” A malicious smile gradually appeared on Qin Chu’s face.
These words had a much greater impact on Loseweisse than anything else before.
After desperately struggling but still unable to break free from Qin Chu’s grasp, Loseweisse’s soul writhed almost madly in Qin Chu’s palm, her small hands desperately tearing at her hair, strands breaking inch by inch.
Sharp wails even pierced through Qin Chu’s palm, echoing in his mind.
Unfortunately, Loseweisse simply didn’t understand; her wails only brought Qin Chu greater pleasure.
For the sake of the joy Loseweisse brought him, Qin Chu decided to tell Loseweisse one last truth, something he had long known but never told her.
“Loseweisse, do you know why I deliberately told Jie Luo that you performed the resurrection ritual?” Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, the malicious smile on his face widening: “You don’t think I’m truly that kind of good person, do you?”
Weng…
Loseweisse’s soul instantly froze, her eyes staring fixedly at Qin Chu. She opened her mouth, her voice, just like before, reaching Qin Chu’s mind through his skin: “Why…?”
That voice sounded extremely hoarse.
This was also the biggest question in Loseweisse’s heart. She didn’t understand why, while she wholeheartedly tried to resurrect Jie Luo, Jie Luo ruthlessly killed her.
“Simple. Because that wasn’t a resurrection ritual at all. It was just a small trick used by the Evil Gods in the Void to capture Jie Luo. See those six chains? Those were tools to capture Jie Luo.”
“Although it wasn’t your intention, it doesn’t change the fact that you almost got Jie Luo killed.”
“In the eyes of the Seven Gods of the Void, you, their so-called daughter, are actually just a disposable tool. Don’t think you’re so noble.”
Loseweisse’s mouth opened slightly. Now, she finally understood.
Understood everything.
So all of this, from beginning to end, was just a misunderstanding.
A damned misunderstanding.
Loseweisse was about to go mad. She wanted to rush out. Her soul even pleaded with Qin Chu, hoping he would give her another chance, so she could explain everything to Jie Luo.
She believed, as long as the misunderstanding was cleared, Jie Luo would accept her again.
Her soul even knelt down, desperately kowtowing her originally proud head, just to obtain a tiny chance from Qin Chu.
Unfortunately, Qin Chu, at this moment, showed a heart of stone, cold and indifferent. He deliberately told Loseweisse’s soul all this precisely to make her soul suffer even more. How could he be so kind?
“It’s impossible. Give up, Loseweisse.”
“You deeply love Jie Luo, but in Jie Luo’s heart, you will always be the murderer who almost killed him. He will hate you for life. In his heart, you will always exist in the ugliest form. Whenever he recalls your appearance, he will feel disgusted and want to vomit, hahaha…”
“No… No… No… No…” Loseweisse’s wails became increasingly shrill. Her soul was disheveled, having abandoned all dignity: “I beg you, I beg you, you’re the Hero! You shouldn’t be so cruel! Give me another chance! I swear, my soul will become your most loyal servant…”
“It’s okay, Loseweisse. Don’t be sad, don’t be grieved. Anyway, Jie Luo is going to die soon…”
“I will choose to cooperate with Jie Luo and Demon King Nagath… After the cooperation ends, I will take their lives. Consider it revenge for you. I’m truly a good person.”
“No, you can’t do this, you can’t! You’re a demon, a devil! Are you worthy of being the Hero?” Loseweisse howled madly.
Loseweisse seemed to finally understand; begging was useless.
Qin Chu absolutely wouldn’t give her another chance, no matter what.
Her soul gradually became scorching hot.
The original greyish color was gradually dyed crimson.
As if flames were burning on her soul…
At this most desperate moment, Loseweisse chose the most drastic method: burning her own soul, gaining the most powerful strength in a short time, to break through Qin Chu’s blockade, then rush to Jie Luo’s side and tell him about Qin Chu’s plan to kill him.
She knew her soul couldn’t last long, perhaps there wasn’t even enough time to clear up the misunderstanding, perhaps she would forever remain in Jie Luo’s heart in the ugliest form, but she still wanted Jie Luo to live.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength was simply too vast.
Looking at the pitiful creature struggling desperately in his palm, Qin Chu’s expression gradually returned to calmness: “So, Loseweisse, tell me… what does it feel like to be killed by the one you love most?”
“Just like back then… when you killed me.”
“Farewell, the woman I once foolishly loved.”
Now, by his side, were those more deserving of cherishing.
Qin Chu sighed silently, his five fingers finally slowly closing.
Within his palm, black and white intertwined, like chaotic energy.
The soul fire, in an instant, was extinguished.
