To Hell with the Truth About the World (5)
Isn't this number a bit off?
Chapter Four is here, and there will be another chapter around 8:30.
Chapter 220 The Truth About This World (5)
"And then there's that woman, Rosweisse..."
"She never participated in the operation to kill thirty-seven Hero from another world, so why does she give me a feeling that is more terrifying than the other nine members of the Hero's Party whose hands are stained with blood and who kill without hesitation? I tremble all over when I see her."
"Did Jello the second generation also sense something?"
That concludes the information.
New information brings new questions.
The Second-Generation Hero has actually been faithfully carrying out the tasks assigned to him by the Evil God.
He hunts Fate, he hunts the Hero.
That's where the eeriness lies.
The Skyvault Continent clearly records that there are only two processes for summoning Hero: the first summoned the Second-Generation Jello, and the second summoned Qin Chu.
However, according to the information left by the First-Generation Jello, the Skyvault Continent has actually been constantly summoning Hero, averaging about one per month. But these newly summoned Hero are immediately found and killed by the Second-Generation Jello.
Despite knowing the identities of these people and that they might be the Hero who would save the Skyvault Continent, the members of the Hero's Party still followed Jello's orders and ruthlessly killed these people, who were very likely to have traveled from Earth.
Even if these people haven't done anything wrong, they might not even understand what happened to them, and they might think they're just dreaming, and they die in a daze.
What a pitiful bunch.
Qin Chu also felt a sense of sorrow.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and fell into deep thought again.
Ileta was standing nearby, knew that Qin Chu was considering something very important, so she just stood quietly and obediently to his side without disturbing him.
Qin Chu is connecting everything he experienced in his first playthrough with everything he experienced in this playthrough, and combining it with the clues he obtained from the fragments of the soul.
Sage Mountain cannot summon Hero multiple times in a short period of time; it simply doesn't have that ability.
Furthermore, the Hero summoned from Sage Mountain will be taken directly to the city and receive excellent protection in the early stages when they have no power.
So, let's continue to think outside the box.
The First-Generation Jello and himself were fundamentally different in that they were summoned to this world.
After all, he hadn't experienced a time tunnel-like scene, nor had he heard the mysterious woman's voice.
It is tentatively agreed that there are two ways to summon Hero in the Skyvault Continent: first, through Sage Mountain, and second, by being summoned by that goddess. The two methods should not interfere with each other.
Qin Chu was summoned by the Sage Mountain.
The First-Generation Jello was summoned by a goddess.
However, the process of summoning the First-Generation Jello was intercepted by Evil God in the Void, whose soul consciousness was erased, whose memories were inherited, and whose body was modified and possessed.
At the same time, Sage Mountain was probably also summoning Hero, but the Second-Generation Jello, who had been modified, was thrown over there by the Void Evil God.
The soul of the First-Generation Jello was not completely cleansed, which is impossible given the power of the Evil God. It can only be inferred that some kind of power is protecting it and deceiving the Void Evil God!
It is unlikely that it will gradually awaken for some reason in the future and leave these messages in its soul. However, it is still hoped that these messages can serve as a reminder to those who come after it.
The most important piece of information is that thirty-seven Hero were killed.
These thirty-seven Hero were very likely summoned by the goddess, and one of Second-Generation Jello's goals was to hunt them down. But, since the Void Evil God could intercept the goddess's summons, why didn't it intercept all thirty-seven Hero? Why choose a more troublesome method, using Second-Generation Jello as a tool?
Qin Chu could only continue to speculate that the Void Evil God, needing to suppress the goddess in the cage, could not unleash their full power and could not intercept all the Hero... or rather, intercepting one would consume a huge amount of energy, so they needed to create a powerful tool that completely obeyed their commands to eliminate the Hero in their place.
The First-Generation Jello clearly did not meet the standards, so it was eliminated.
Moreover, they don't seem to have enough power to influence and interfere with this world on a large scale; otherwise, they could simply kill any Hero who appears.
They couldn't even keep their eyes on the world; they could only occasionally cast their gaze upon the earth... After all, they were truly seen by the Evil God after they came into contact with the seven scrolls.
However, judging from Rosweisse's seven scrolls, the strange threads on Sylph's body, and the whispers in Karthus's ear, the Evil God's backup plan for this world is definitely not just the Second-Generation Jello.
The cage in the Void imprisoned the goddess, and in a sense, it also imprisoned these Evil God in the Void. They can only influence this world through various means, such as the seven scrolls, the Second-Generation Jello, and so on.
Furthermore, why would the Evil God in the Void target the Hero in such a way?
Even if Hero possesses exceptional talent and progresses rapidly, becoming the most powerful being among all humans, when facing Evil God in the Void, the Hero is nothing more than a weakling, okay?
Is it necessary?
Such a high level of preparedness even made Qin Chu feel somewhat uneasy; amidst these arrangements, Qin Chu could vaguely sense a kind of fear.
It was as if the Hero truly possessed the power to kill the Evil God.
Why did Second-Generation Jello never let Rosweisse participate in the slaughter of other Hero? What was he wary of? Rosweisse possessed the seven scrolls of the Evil God; logically, her relationship with the Evil God should be very close, and her relationship with Second-Generation Jello should be even better.
Or is this Second-Generation Jello simply born rebellious?
That mysterious goddess keeps sending Hero to the Skyvault Continent. Could it be that she's casting a wide net to catch as many fish as possible? Or is it simply to deceive the Evil God and hide the true Hero among them?
Regardless of the type, this mysterious goddess is more cruel than imagined.
However, since Jello's death, the Hero's transmission has ceased; otherwise, there wouldn't be absolutely no news of anyone from the other world besides himself. Did the Evil God in the Void devise a way to intercept them, or has this mysterious goddess exhausted her power and fallen?
Or has this goddess already been found, or even killed, by the Second-Generation Jello?
Qin Chu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Unlike the First-Generation Hero, Jello, who was directly modified and had his soul Annihilation, he had successfully descended into this world. He was incredibly lucky.
He thought about it a lot!
But he still didn't know what truth was hidden in this world; these were just his guesses.
There are only two Soul Fragment left, so the information we can obtain is extremely limited.
Even though Qin Chu's mind has matured considerably and his self-control has improved significantly, he still couldn't help himself at this moment. He suddenly became very irritable, grabbing his hair and constantly growling in a low voice. He didn't activate his Forced Calm ability; sometimes he needed to vent, otherwise, this gloomy and eerie mountain would be enough to make Qin Chu feel suffocated.
Damn it!
"Damn it!"
All I wanted was revenge, so why did I have to get dragged into this mess?
I was extremely depressed.
After all, he was facing those bizarre and terrifying beings.
Qin Chu's reaction frightened Ileta.
Her slender body instinctively curled up slightly.
Despite being a Daughter of Death of immense power, she appeared somewhat timid.
After a long while, Qin Chu took a deep breath and raised his head again.
His face showed signs of fatigue, but his eyes shone brightly.
Damn it, to hell with the truth of the world.
Screw the Void Evil God.
Bring on whatever tricks you want, I'll take them all. Once I become powerful enough, I'll cleave the Evil God in two and scatter their ashes to the winds.
However, he will be more careful and cautious in the time to come!
He regained his composure and looked at the Daughter of Death beside him. The clues he had obtained were far too few... The goddess's only hint was the simple word "Witch."
So, in any case, wouldn't it be better to gather the Witch around me as soon as possible?
Qin Chu's original target was the Flame Witch, but since the Daughter of Death has already shown up, isn't that a good thing?
Or is this what they call Fate?
The Fate of dog poop.
Seemingly influenced by the First-Generation Jello, Qin Chu muttered something under his breath.
Qin Chu composed himself and forced a smile, "Miss Ileta, I'm sorry to have shown you my rudeness."
Ileta shook her head, indicating her understanding.
It is perfectly normal for Qin Chu, as Hero, to experience such intense emotional turmoil upon suddenly receiving this news.
"It's alright, you're a good person," Ileta said softly. "I didn't pry into your thoughts, but I can sense your soul... it's out of place in this world."
"This world is unworthy of someone as noble as you."
Qin Chu smiled bitterly. "Noble and pure?"
Ileta's praise was really hard for Qin Chu to bear. The things he had done in his second playthrough were hardly virtuous.
"While tens of thousands of corpses were being burned, only you would grieve for the dead soldiers. The other nobles and clergy were filled only with contempt and fear."
"What you said to those soldiers on the blood-soaked battlefield... I was actually nearby the whole time, I heard it all: 'Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?' What powerful words! In those words, I can feel infinite possibilities."
"You want them to muster the courage to use their own strength and hands to grasp the happiness they desire and to change this terrible world, right?"
No, no, no, I was just stirring things up.
They just want to see the world descend into chaos, with rivers of blood flowing.
Qin Chu's head shake was taken as humility by Ileta: "Hero Excellency, humility is a good quality, but don't go overboard."
"You must have realized that this world is rotten to the core, with the aristocracy arrogantly basking in their superiority, wantonly exploiting, bullying, and slaughtering other humans."
"The common people are like domesticated animals, having long lost the pride of being human. They calmly endure all the suffering they should not have to bear."
"If you can't change these numb souls' minds, even if you kill all the nobles, it will just be another group of nobles coming to power, and the world will not change at all."
"You are so kind... and so wise."
"You didn't tell them directly, but you planted a seed, and sooner or later, that seed will take root and sprout."
"You must have considered that only what one comprehends oneself possesses the most powerful strength, which is why you deliberately arranged it this way, isn't it?"
"Mr. Qin, I understand!"
No, what do you know?
Chapter 5 is here. I thought that after adding an extra chapter today, I would have two chapters left, but then the big boss Dongfang Wufei gave me another 10,000 coins, so I still owe three chapters.
Many thanks to Wanruxuanfeng for the 1500 coins reward and to Kunyuhaitanbuxianbugui for the reward. Thank you for your support.
Chapter 221 The Demon King's Research (1)
Seeing Ileta's knowing look and her admiring gaze in her dark eyes, Qin Chu felt numb.
You don't understand anything!
I'm not as great as you think. I just want revenge, to throw the world into chaos and make everyone pay the price.
They're not as noble and great as you think.
Honestly, this woman is incredibly good at making things up.
"Excuse me, Miss Ileta, do you know a guy named Demiurge?" Qin Chu blinked and asked, "You two aren't related, are you?"
"Demiurge?" Ileta asked, puzzled. She even thought about it intently for a moment before shaking her head. "Who is that? I don't know anyone named Demiurge, and there's no one named Demiurge in my family."
After a pause, Ileta continued, "What's wrong with this person?"
It's nothing, you two are just both good at making things up.
Qin Chu was not the kind of person who craved empty fame; he would never accept anything that wasn't his own honor.
He took a deep breath. "You noticed that?"
Okay, he shamelessly admitted it.
Ileta's little face showed a hint of smugness, and she was quite pleased with herself for guessing the truth.
Soon, Qin Chu's expression turned somewhat forlorn and sorrowful. He sighed deeply, "Alas, Miss Ileta, do you know how much I regret the things I said?"
"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"
"Joke!"
"Perhaps I'm just giving them a hope they can never reach."
"Without hope, they might still live a difficult but peaceful life; with hope, however, death might be what awaits them."
