The Goddess's Hint
The deity, symbolizing Desire, spread its arms and merged into the vast black mist, rushing forward like a raging tide, as if it wanted to devour Qin Chu and the goddess at the same time.
The surging black mist billowed, causing the goddess's robes to flutter.
The goddess slowly stepped forward, blocking Qin Chu's path.
She forcefully dragged the chain on her wrist, stretched it forward, and disappeared directly into the black mist.
Thick black mist swirled around the fair arms, instantly emitting a strange, corrosive sound, leaving large patches of mottled, corroded skin on the once flawless arms.
Clusters of thick white smoke drifted continuously.
It must hurt a lot, right?
But the goddess's aura did not waver in the slightest. She simply grabbed at the black mist with her fingers, and then a muffled groan was heard. The next second, a silhouette was forcibly dragged out of the black mist by the goddess.
It was clearly the outline of the sinister deity behind the eldest prince.
Without the support of the Evil God, the eldest prince's body, that lump of flesh exuding a strong stench, fell to the ground with a thud from the sky.
The goddess's features were indistinct, but at that moment, one could glimpse a pair of eyes, as bright as the full moon and as dazzling as the stars.
Those cold eyes stared at the silhouette struggling in their palms.
The next instant, he tightened his fingers.
With a soft pop, the phantom of the Evil God was crushed.
Like a shattered mirror, countless broken fragments, accompanied by sharp, mournful cries, slowly dissipated in mid-air.
Big sister, you are truly amazing.
Qin Chu, who witnessed this scene from below, expressed his sincere admiration in every sense of the word.
As the phantom of the Evil God shattered, the black mist that shrouded the entire arena and Nobles' District vanished in that instant, as if it had never existed. If it weren't for the dilapidated buildings, the cracked earth, and the ragged corpses, perhaps everyone would have thought it was just an illusion.
A soft white light replaced the darkness and enveloped the earth, calming all the terrified hearts.
Inside the arena, everyone stared at her tall, graceful figure and instinctively knelt on the ground.
Even Augustus, the Pope of the Holy Church, was the same.
It was a tremor and awe that came from the depths of one's heart, an irresistible feeling.
Zimmerman also bent his knees, and Saint Monica bowed her noble body.
Even Wadsworth, after a brief struggle, lowered his noble head, his knees touching the cold, cracked ground.
The goddess, oblivious to the kneeling figures around her, knew her time was precious. She turned and floated towards Qin Chu, her lips seemingly moving indistinctly...
She seemed to want to convey a message to Qin Chu.
But at that moment, the chains binding the goddess shone brightly, and an unprecedented power was transmitted through the chains, frantically pulling at the goddess's body, trying to lock her back into the dark Void.

(Please vote with monthly tickets and recommendation votes)
Splash...
The taut chains made a crisp sound.
The goddess resisted, but the force from the chains grew stronger and stronger.
The chains were almost digging into the goddess's ankles, wrists, and neck. Qin Chu could clearly feel the intense pain emanating from her breath; it was obviously an unpleasant experience.
As the phantom of the Evil God was shattered, the seven Evil God returned to the Void, and the pressure on the goddess suddenly increased.
But the goddess continued to struggle; she wanted to convey something to that tiny child.
Her lips moved, but no sound came out.
Qin Chu could also sense that this was a crucial clue. He strained his ears to listen and even tried to sense it with his own consciousness, but he couldn't hear or feel anything.
The chaos and madness entangled in the chains caused Qin Chu's brain excruciating pain; even the mere attempt to explore them severely damaged Qin Chu consciousness.
The goddess's illusion is fading.
Her lower body was completely submerged in darkness, and thick, writhing black mist was slowly eroding the goddess's body, hips, waist, chest, abdomen, and neck.
Only the head remained, still protruding from the shell.
Even so, the goddess's lips still seemed to want to convey something to Qin Chu.
Damn it, I'm going all in.
Qin Chu gritted his teeth and made a firm decision.
Although the invasion of the Evil God was terrifying, he was certain that what the goddess wanted to reveal to him must be extremely important, and it could very well determine whether he would survive in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness travel forward.
Buzz!
The instant they made contact, Qin Chu's body trembled violently, and blood gushed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Madness, slaughter, evil, cruelty, Wrath, Desire, Greed, baseness, treachery... all sorts of emotions surged into Qin Chu's consciousness. His body convulsed, and strange marks and patterns appeared all over Qin Chu body, spreading rapidly.
Almost at the same time, the goddess's head was also swallowed by darkness and completely submerged in the Void.
Qin Chu knew that the wisp of consciousness that the goddess had separated had been put back into the cage.
However, just before the goddess completely disappeared, Qin Chu caught a glimpse of her lips and heard her voice...
A slight curve appeared at the corner of His mouth; He was smiling.
The goddess's last words were only two:
Witch!
Ah!
The spasmodic pain caused Qin Chu to let out a mournful cry. His hands, covered in tiny scales and with vertical pupils, pressed down hard on his nearly rotting head, and he squatted down on the ground.
His body is being frantically polluted, eroded, and destroyed.
Qin Chu's voice startled Angelica, who had been observing the situation from behind. Strangely enough, although a circle of people were kneeling around them, even a powerful figure like Augustus was kneeling, Angelica wasn't...
Perhaps it's because in her heart, there's only Qin Chu, and no one else.
Angelica knew she was too weak to help her master much; this level of conflict was simply beyond her reach. But seeing her master in such pain, Angelica could no longer hold back and suddenly rushed out of the passage entrance.
Unconcerned about whether the Evil God's corruption on Qin Chu would spread to himself, he simply stretched out a small hand and placed it on Qin Chu's head.
"Holy Light... Holy Light... Holy Light..."
Holy Light appeared repeatedly from Angelica's hands, enveloping Qin Chu in a hazy white light.
Angelica's Holy Light was the normal, common type used by the Holy Church, not as powerful as Qin Chu's Holy Light, but it still seemed to have some effect.
Qin Chu's pain seemed to have lessened a little.
This encouraged Angelica, and she continuously cast beams of Holy Light upon her. The rotting on her skin stopped, and even began to heal gradually. Her vertical pupils, scales, and eerie markings also began to disappear little by little.
Angelica had no idea how many times she had used the Holy Light; she only felt her Magic Power was about to be exhausted. Qin Chu's painful groans finally stopped.
Despite her splitting headache, Angelica was determined to exhaust all her Magic Power to continue treating Qin Chu, even if it only had a slight effect and could alleviate her master's pain a little.
But at that moment, Qin Chu suddenly reached out and grabbed Angelica's wrist.
"Anjie, I'm alright." Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu looked up at Angelica. The little maid's face was pale and covered in sweat.
In reality, Qin Chu's condition is still very bad. Although the abnormal changes in his body have temporarily subsided, the excruciating pain is still stimulating Qin Chu's brain like steel needles.
But he couldn't let Angelica continue like this any longer; otherwise, her Angelica Magic Power be depleted.
He glanced down at the Goddess's Hair on his wrist; it had returned to calm, yet still radiated a slight heat.
The Little Sprout that had been squeezing out his Battle Qi and Magic Power within him also calmed down at this moment. Under the pressure from this little thing, Qin Chu's body was basically exhausted.
As soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and felt like I could faint at any moment.
This feeling is absolutely awful.
At this point, it would be incredibly easy for anyone to kill Qin Chu, as Qin Chu would have little power to resist.
Antia, inside Qin Chu's body, had clearly sensed Qin Chu's weakness and was preparing for battle within him.
On the other side, Violet and Ekaterina also noticed Qin Chu's strange behavior and quickly came to Qin Chu side, guarding him on either side. After all, there were still many people in this world who wanted to kill Qin Chu.
Antasia quickly stepped forward, blocking Qin Chu's back.
Although she wasn't as powerful as Violet or Ekaterina, she wouldn't stand idly by and watch Qin Chu be in danger. Even though she hadn't been in the city for long, she already knew just how intense the internal conflicts were within the Orwell Empire compared to the Ice Grand Duchy, and that not everyone welcomed Qin Chu's arrival.
Only Rosweisse remained foolishly standing in place.
At this moment, her feelings towards Qin Chu were somewhat complicated.
When Qin Chu resolutely stood in front of her without hesitation, Rosweisse felt a momentary flutter in her heart. His broad back gave Rosweisse a special sense of security.
She felt ashamed of her own thoughts. The only man she truly loved was Lord Jello, yet here she was, feeling attracted to another man...
What Rosweisse found most difficult to understand was Qin Chu's feelings.
Judging from the fact that he just saved me, he must be interested in me.
However, Qin Chu was surrounded by more and more girls, including some very outstanding ones. Qin Chu would make advances towards women like Angelica, Ekaterina, Athena, and Violet, but he never took the initiative to express his love to her.
This left Rosweisse completely baffled as to what Qin Chu was thinking. Could it be that... the more something is cherished, the more cautious one becomes, and the less one dares to get close?
It is said that many men are like this.
If Qin Chu feels the same way, wouldn't that mean I'm the most important person in Qin Chu's heart?
This gave Rosweisse a little secret thrill...
No, no, she loves Lord Jello. Her position in Qin Chu's heart is only related to her plans; she has no special feelings for Qin Chu.
Moreover, what puzzled Rosweisse the most was what exactly was that enormous phantom that appeared behind Qin Chu?
Why do I instinctively loathe that existence?
Conversely, there's an unusual sense of closeness to the mysterious figure behind the eldest prince?
Shouldn't it normally be the other way around?
She wanted to figure out the reason, but had no clue.
On the other side, Qin Chu was trying to adjust his state. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked around and saw that the surroundings were in a mess. The dome of the arena had collapsed, causing a large number of stones to fall from the sky.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Through the broken and collapsed walls, one can see that the city outside is also in ruins, as if it had just suffered a major earthquake, with devastation everywhere.
The cries of agony rose and fell.
Good heavens, this is going to kill quite a few nobles, isn't it?
Turning his gaze back to the crowd in the arena, Qin Chu was surprised to find that almost everyone was kneeling on the ground. "Why are you all kneeling?" he asked.
Such a grand gift is unnecessary; I cannot accept it.
Upon hearing Qin Chu's question, the people in the VIP seats straightened up, their expressions somewhat embarrassed. They didn't know why, but upon seeing the enormous phantom behind Qin Chu, they felt an instinctive tremor and awe, and subconsciously knelt on the ground.
No one mentioned it again, as if what had just happened had never occurred.
Wadsworth, Saint Monica, Augustus, Zimmerman, and Natia descended from the platform and quickly approached Qin Chu.
Their faces still showed shock.
Although Qin Chu's strength has not yet reached or even surpassed their level, and Qin Chu only used some means to temporarily raise his power to the middle level of War God, the speed of this improvement is too exaggerated. Perhaps in a short time, three years, two years, or even less, Qin Chu will be on par with them, or even stronger than them.
They knew that this day was destined to be recorded in the annals of the Skyvault Continent.
Qin Chu's name will be forever remembered as the strongest Hero.
Their vigilance towards Qin Chu reached an unprecedented peak. After defeating the Magic Creature, this man was bound to become the strongest person on the Skyvault Continent, and also the most feared existence for them.
Especially the goddess behind Qin Chu...
"Your Excellency, Hero..."
"Brother Qin... are you alright? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
