A terrifying hypothesis began to take shape in Ronald's chest.

In her mind's eye, the man standing silently before her was no longer a human being, but a complete and utter devil.

He was breathing heavily, his heart felt as if it were being tightly bound by chains, and his eyes were filled with despair. "You and Ramon..."

"Yes, we've been in contact for a while now. That guy is a very useful tool," Qin Chu readily admitted.

"Do you know how great I felt when I heard Ramon say he'd found thousands of Magic Creature to entertain you?"

Qin Chu opened his arms wide, his face filled with a holy look, like a supplicant. "That feeling..."

"This is so enjoyable!"

Ronald, however, was anything but happy.

It felt like there was a lump of air stuck in his chest, unable to be released, making him so frustrated and irritable that he was about to vomit blood.

It felt like a piece of my heart had been ripped out, and that piece was filled with Wrath and resentment.

His rationality is returning, and he is gradually making sense of everything that has happened recently.

"Benson was murdered..."

"That's right, I provided Ramon with Benson's information, and incidentally, I also took away Benson's Pseudo-Absolute Defense ability." Qin Chu admitted with a smile, delivering another heavy blow to Ronald: "So don't even think about killing me, you don't have the ability, understand?"

"Not to mention, you're now a cripple. Even if you still had the strength, you couldn't kill me."

The words "useless person" deeply stung Ronald.

His voice was hoarse. "My whereabouts..."

"It was me who revealed it."

"By the way, I was the one who told Ramon about Eileen helping you, and even the final large-scale attack was my suggestion."

"Simply put, without me, Ramon, you wouldn't be able to catch me at all, and you wouldn't need to bend over like that..."

Ronald couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Damn it, can we not talk about this anymore?"

"Okay, I don't mind." Qin Chu agreed very generously; he was truly too kind.

"Was all of this part of your conspiracy?"

"Of course, but compared to conspiracy, I prefer the word strategy." Qin Chu nodded.

Ronald Wrath, his chest heaving as if his lungs were about to explode. "You bastard, do you deserve to be Hero? You've betrayed humanity!"

"No, no, no." Qin Chu immediately shook his head; he couldn't bear the weight of betraying all of humanity. "I didn't betray all of humanity. Apart from the members of your Hero's Party, I didn't kill anyone..."

Hmm, it seems the eldest prince... never mind, he's no longer human.

"Do you know what humans call me now? An angel descended, a messenger of the goddess. Compared to the First-Generation Hero, Jello, I seem to be more popular now."

"Besides, even if there were betrayal, it wouldn't be me betraying you, it would be you betraying me."

"You don't think I know nothing about what your Hero's Party is planning, do you?" Qin Chu dropped another bombshell.

Ronald's pupils contracted sharply, filled with horror and shock. His body swayed involuntarily. This man already knew everything? This was the worst possible situation.

The matters discussed within the Hero's Party are known only to the team members themselves. Where did that bastard Qin Chu hear about them from?

Could it be that there's a traitor within the Hero's Party?

This thought infuriated Ronald.

This is betrayal, not only betrayal of himself, but also betrayal of Jello.

"Think what you want, I'm not telling you who the mole is..."

Actually, among those who survived, Eileen, Roseweiser, and the mad Muse are relatively normal. Ekaterina is a staunch traitor, Athena is also a traitor, and even Sylph is half a traitor.

Qin Chu even suspected that after a few more people died, could it be that everyone except Rosweisse was a mole?

"There's one thing I can tell you: that idiot Rosweisse actually suspected Augustus."

Hiss...

Ronald's body trembled uncontrollably. He finally realized that the situation of the Hero's Party was far more serious than he had imagined. Qin Chu, that devil, had used his methods to make a complete mess of the entire squad.

"I have no grudge against you, yet you want to kill me for the sake of a dead Jello. Am I not even allowed to fight back? What kind of domineering rule is this in the world... I was just acting in self-defense, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Qin Chu smiled broadly, enjoying Ronald's Wrath, hateful, and even desperate expression. The Wrath and more desperate Ronald became, the more pleased Qin Chu felt. Let it all come on stronger!

Ronald was breathing heavily, feeling his consciousness fading in waves. The successive shocks were too much for him to bear, and in his eyes, the future of the Hero's Party was almost entirely bleak.

His face was filled with sorrow:

Aren't you afraid these things will be exposed?

Qin Chu seemed a little confused, unable to understand Ronald's words. "Why should I be afraid?"

"It was Ramon who killed Benson and you; he'll come out and admit it."

"I killed Karthus, but in the name of justice. No one will blame me; they will only be grateful to me for ridding the people of a scourge... Oh, and by the way, I also guided Karthus's rampage and corruption, just so I could have a righteous cause to publicly execute him in front of everyone."

Ronald had almost lost all his strength. He sat down heavily on the ground, aggravating his wounds, but his body seemed to feel no pain, only a nervous tremor.

This enemy is far more terrifying than imagined.

He was meticulous and had a thorough plan.

He is also vicious and cruel, capable of anything.

His talent is extraordinary, and his strength is increasing extremely rapidly.

This is the most terrifying, the most hopeless enemy.

"Why are you so cruel?" Ronald asked, his voice barely a whisper, having completely lost hope.

Is it cruel?

No, Ronald.

Qin Chu's voice was filled with coldness and glee. "Do you have the right to call me cruel? Do the members of your Hero's Party have that right? You squeezed every last drop of value out of me, used me and then discarded me, stabbed me in the back for taking advantage of my trust, and then you even tried to tarnish my reputation, dismembering me in public, and suppressing my torso and limbs at the Edge of Heaven, the Cape of Sea, the Cloud Summit, the Heart of the Lake, Root of the Tree, while suppressing my head beneath the Holy City, to suffer the trampling of all people for eternity..."

His voice turned into a low, cathartic growl.

"Compared to what you've done to me, I even feel I've been quite merciful..."

Suddenly, Qin Chu changed his tone, no longer as suppressed as before, but even filled with a sense of pleasure. "By the way, do you know Ronald?"

"Benson is dead, and he has given me the power of Pseudo-Absolute Defense."

"Karthus is dead, but in return I have the title of messenger of God and descending angel."

"And you, you actually brought me a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment."

"Thank you so much."

Puff!

Ronald, who was already shrouded in extreme depression, couldn't hold back any longer when he heard these words. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

I'll continue to add chapters for the generous donations. I still owe three chapters, so please cast your votes! Thank you!

Chapter 216 Do you want to know the information recorded in the Soul Fragment?

(1)

Let Ronald know that everything he did actually benefited Qin Chu; that would truly cause Ronald pain and despair.

Nothing could have hurt Ronald more than this.

The thought of how he had toiled for so long in the Magic Creature's territory, enduring danger, and even being humiliated by thousands of Magic Creature, only to have Jello's Soul Fragment fall into Qin Chu's hands and all of them benefit this demon, filled him with a sense of dread.

Ronald felt a sharp pain in his chest, and spurts of blood continuously gushed from his mouth.

He pointed a finger at Qin Chu: "You... you... you..."

He wanted to curse Qin Chu, but he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

"By the way, speaking of which, these Soul Fragment are really useful. I used one of them to impersonate Jello... Athena actually fell for it and offered herself to me."

"I will make good use of this Soul Fragment. Who do you think I should use it against?"

"Rosweisse, Aili, Eileen, or Sylph?"

Ronald's body trembled violently. "You... you... you... you dare..."

"Oh, right, although I'm going to kill you soon, I carefully instructed Ramon to pretend you're still alive and spread the word that you've been imprisoned."

"Do you think your other close comrades-in-arms will come to your rescue...?"

"I reckon even if they were to rescue you, it would probably be the Eileen and Ellie sisters. Romon is on high alert. Do you think those two might get captured? And what would happen if they were?"

Ronald's pupils almost burst out of their sockets.

He recalled his own ordeal, which he, a man, could not bear. If it were Eileen and Aili, two girls, their fate would likely be hundreds of times more tragic than his.

The thought of causing the deaths of other members of the Hero's Party dealt another blow to Ronald's already wounded heart.

"Oh, right, I also told Ramon that he would spread the word about your experience at the Magic Creature camp, so that everyone would know..."

Ronald's body trembled violently as he thought about the bleak future of the Hero's Party, about how he might cause the deaths of Eileen and Aili, about his ruined reputation and becoming the laughingstock of everyone, about the hopelessness of Jello's resurrection...

He struggled to raise one arm, pointing at Qin Chu:

"Devil..."

"You're the devil!"

A piercing scream, like the painful howl of a wild beast.

What kind of monster has Sage Mountain summoned this time?

Ronald's body trembled violently. He felt his heart ache more and more, as if something inside him had burst. With a loud "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then it shuddered spasmodically, and its arm slumped down.

There was absolutely no further movement.

Qin Chu could feel that the guy's heartbeat and breathing had stopped.

Dead? Died vomiting blood?

I'm so angry I could die!

Happy!

But Ronald's temper is too petty! Are you Wang Lang? You were scolded to death by Zhuge Liang after just a few words!

Why don't you learn from me? Be broad-minded and magnanimous, and don't be so petty about everything.

Look at you, so narrow-minded, you deserved to die of anger in the end.

As the night breeze blew by, Qin Chu felt a surge of satisfaction in his chest. Another enemy had been dealt with, and this feeling was truly wonderful.

Silver flames erupted from his palm and he threw them at Ronald.

The still-convulsing corpse burst into flames, its flesh and blood turning to ash, and even its soul vanished amidst its agonizing screams.

The noble young swordsman Ronald has vanished from the last trace of this world.

Qin Chu wouldn't leave any clues that could be discovered by others. Although leaving Ronald's soul behind would allow him to watch everything he experienced among the Magic Creature spread in the human world, to see his reputation ruined, and to see his companions deceived, tricked, and killed one by one, that would be a very satisfying thing.

But if you don't nip the problem in the bud, you're just asking for trouble.

Since Qin Chu hadn't left behind Benson's soul, Ronald's naturally wouldn't either.

Even Ronald's storage ring was burned by Qin Chu in the silver flames. Of course, Qin Chu had already transferred the wealth inside the storage ring beforehand.

After killing Ronald, Qin Chu felt a surge of exhilaration, but after the peak of pleasure, a slight emptiness followed.

I wonder if this counts as a period of deep reflection?

Qin Chu mentally berated himself, then leaned back against the tree trunk and sat down.

He then took out another fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, which was actually slightly larger than the one he had obtained from Violet the Storm Witch 'Violet house.

It's crystal clear, just like a beautiful glass bead.

Qin Chu hoped to obtain some information he wanted from this Soul Fragment, but he was also worried that it would end up like the previous one.

After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu invaded the Soul Fragment with his consciousness.
