First Prince: Iyeta, You Wouldn't Betray Me, Would You?
However, it's clear that this Fire God is a bit arrogant.
Although he repeatedly claimed that he didn't care about the insignificant believers, in reality, at the last moment of his life, he was still thinking about those insignificant people. He didn't care if they turned to other gods; he only hoped that his believers could live well.
Even his successor made it clear that if he couldn't handle it, he should give up.
Just hearing the Divine Oracle, one can almost imagine a burly man with a full beard, but a very warm-hearted elder brother.
He may be rude, but he is truly a very good god. The people of the Flame Sanctuary are perhaps fortunate to have such a god to worship.
Because of the Fire God's verbose nature, the Divine Oracle was very long.
However, within this long Divine Oracle, Qin Chu extracted some very important information.
The War of the Gods a thousand years ago was a conflict between the native gods of the Skyvault Continent and the Evil God from outside.
There are numerous native gods, but only eight Evil God, though their power is absolutely immense.
If all the Evil God were to attack at once, the native gods of the Skyvault Continent would have virtually no chance of resistance. However, there also seemed to be conflicts among the Evil God, especially the most powerful one. The other seven seemed quite happy to see the native gods of the Skyvault Continent besiege that being.
They even hoped that the guy would be killed so they could come out and seize the spoils of victory.
In fact, they did succeed.
The most powerful being, besieged by numerous gods, had its body shattered into many pieces, scattered across the Skyvault Continent. Its blood stained the earth and sea, and its soul was likely crushed as well.
And He also destroyed all the gods of the Skyvault Continent except for Fate and Holy Light, truly deserving the title of the Strongest Evil God.
They just didn't expect that the Goddess of Holy Light, one of the last two surviving goddesses, would be so powerful. After the great battle, she was still able to fight seven against one. Although she was trapped in the Void, they couldn't kill her. They could only do their best to suppress her, and managed to drag the seven Evil God in the Void for thousands of years.
The other surviving goddess is the charlatan called Moirai by the god of Fire God. She seems to be a goddess who controls Fate. She doesn't seem to have much fighting power, but she has eyes that can see into the future.
Based on the information left by the First-Generation Jello in the Soul Fragment, hunting Fate is also one of the tasks of the Second-Generation Jello.
This goddess who controls Fate seems to be secretly manipulating, arranging, and guiding everything.
The Flame Witch inherited the Divine Authority the God of Fire God. Although there was Divine Oracle that she should give up if she could not hold on, the Flame Witch clearly did not choose that option. She preferred to go mad rather than let the Divine Authority remain.
Qin Chu let out a long sigh of relief.
The voice of Fire God still echoed in my mind.
In his mind, he seemed to see the war from a thousand years ago, a war between gods.
The blood of God fell from the sky like a torrential rain.
The body of a god streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
Move your feet, and the earth cracks.
With a wave of the hand, stars fall.
That's true, powerful strength.
The deity who had guided the Skyvault Continent forward vanished into thin air at that moment.
A strange sadness welled up inside me.
After a long while, Qin Chu finally opened his eyes. Around him were Saya, Antia, and Heloise, all looking worried.
Ever since the Flame Witch pounced on Qin Chu had remained motionless, his body only trembling slightly. They didn't know what Qin Chu had gone through, they could only sense a very sad and sorrowful aura emanating from Qin Chu.
Qin Chu forced a smile and gave the girls a little one, indicating that he was fine.
"The Holy Light I've been chasing has finally appeared."
An unfamiliar voice echoed in my mind.
She is the Flame Witch.
Her voice was calm, yet weak.
"Now, I can finally give you everything and get some rest."
"More than a thousand years..."
"So tired!"
Qin Chu could feel the flame within his body rapidly weakening, as if it might go out at any moment.
A thousand years had long since exhausted her soul.
Qin Chu knew that once this flame went out, there would be no chance to rekindle it, and the inheritor of the Fire God from a thousand years ago would also die completely.
"If you're tired, rest well inside me." Qin Chu said in his mind, "Perhaps it's because of the Holy Light, my body can nourish the spirit, which might be of some help to you."
"Don't you want to see hope and a future for this world for the god you believe in?"
The flame within him seemed to flicker slightly.
"Hope and the future?"
Her voice seemed somewhat confused. "Will it?"
"Yes, probably," Qin Chu smiled. "But if you close your eyes now, then there's nothing left, isn't there?"
"I am but a broken soul, scorched and scarred by flames; I don't even have a body anymore," the Flame Witch said in a somewhat suppressed and sorrowful voice.
Even in its Fire Spirit form, it still possesses immense power.
However, this state makes one extremely prone to madness. It's alright now that Qin Chu's Holy Light is suppressing it, but once one is far away, it will destroy everything, especially when in contact with the Divine Authority.
"By the way, Your Highness, I still don't know your name..." Qin Chu suddenly changed the subject.
The Flame Witch was somewhat puzzled by Qin Chu's change of topic, but after thinking for a while, she gave her answer, "Phil!"
"Miss Phil...?"
Qin Chu smiled slightly, and he opened his hands in front of him, revealing a row of magical images, just like a row of full-body photographs.
Among them were Ekaterina, Athena, Rosweisse, Eileen, Aili, Sylph, Saint Monica...
Which of these bodies do you prefer?
Chapter 5 is here, one more chapter still owed.
Chapter 241 The Eldest Prince: Ieta, you won't betray me,
Right? (1)
Each of the photos is full of charm and has its own unique appeal.
Catherine's heroic spirit, Athena's voluptuous figure, Roseweiser's pure and holy nature, Irene and Ellie's petite and adorable appearance, Sylph's proud and noble demeanor, Santa Monica's graceful and beautiful appearance, and mature charm... even the image of Inas, the saintess of the Earth Mother Goddess Cult, appears here.
Every woman has her own attractive qualities; when they appear in a row, it can be dazzling.
The Flame Witch Phil within Qin Chu's body also saw these photos, and a flame seemed to flicker slightly in Qin Chu's eyes.
"Who are these people? Do you want me to possess their bodies?"
Phil's voice echoed in my mind. I could hear a hint of resistance in her voice; she didn't seem to like this kind of thing—taking over someone else's body.
"Is there a problem?" Qin Chu asked back. "Don't worry, these are not good people. Some of them are even lackeys of Evil Gods."
"Their souls are already filthy, but their bodies are still pretty good, right? If you choose one of them, it's like making use of trash," Qin Chu said with a shrug.
The fact that the members of the Hero's Party have filthy and impure souls, and that they don't even need purification, has been witnessed by Ileta, the Daughter of Death who holds the Death God's Authority. This is absolutely authoritative and beyond question.
"So, you don't need to feel any pressure," Qin Chu said with a smile.
"Or are you planning to create your own body?"
Just like Violet.
However, not everyone has Violet's ability to create their own body.
"I can't do that." Sure enough, Phil's somewhat muffled voice soon rang in Qin Chu's ears. "I've even forgotten what I actually look like... Maybe, my real appearance is just an ugly monster."
You're really overthinking it.
Although he has a rather unique personality, he is a follower of the Fire God.
But the saintess is, after all, the face of the Church, and her appearance and figure must be up to standard. One thing is absolutely certain: Phil is definitely a great beauty.
A flame was leaping within him.
Phil, the Flame Witch Phil, scanned the magical images, choosing a suitable body for herself. Finally, Phil's gaze settled on the Scarlet Valkyrie Ekaterina and Athena.
She hesitated between these two goals, seemingly finding it difficult to determine her final objective.
"From an appearance standpoint, this woman with fiery red hair seems to suit me better."
Phil's voice sounded troubled, "But, if we're talking about talent, perhaps this woman is more suitable..."
Phil is not a warrior but a mage, and in terms of strength, Athena's body is indeed more suitable.
As for Rosweisse, although she was also a mage, the Flame Witch for some reason subconsciously ignored her completely, without even giving her a second thought.
Seeing that Phil seemed to be having trouble making a decision, Qin Chu wasn't in a hurry. "It's okay, you can make a decision after you see these two people in person later."
A flame appeared within Qin Chu's body.
A graceful silhouette stretched out in front, and through those rounded curves, one could sense that the former saintess of the Flame Sanctuary must have possessed a remarkably beautiful figure.
Phil glanced at the magical image before him. "If I choose someone's body, should I crush her soul?"
"Whatever you want..." Qin Chu readily gave his answer, "Crushing her directly is fine, leaving her soul intact so she can watch her body being taken away is also acceptable, as long as you can control it."
Phil seemed to understand. She nodded and walked back to the altar, looking at the crimson light that remained silently above it... the Divine Authority.
After a brief hesitation, the Flame Witch stretched out a small hand again, aiming it at the crimson altar.
The next instant, a faint whooshing sound could be heard as the crimson altar transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into Phil's body.
Buzz...
The moment the Divine Authority was regained by Phil, the spirit of that ball of flame suddenly expanded, and the surrounding temperature soared dramatically.
Waves of heat surged and rolled around her like a tide, ruffling Heloise's long hair by her ears.
The terrifying heat made Heloise feel like her body was about to melt; the environment here was far too unfriendly for Snow Woman.
Instinctively, Heloise hid behind Qin Chu; only in this position could Heloise feel a little safe.
After absorbing the Divine Authority, Phil turned back to Qin Chu. He could feel the erosion and impact of the Divine Authority once again plunging Phil's will into agony. A hint of madness would occasionally creep into his eyes. This was only because Qin Chu was right in front of him and the suppression of the Holy Light had not completely disappeared. Otherwise, Phil's soul would have gone mad once again.
"Then, I'll leave it to you." The Flame Witch bowed gracefully to Qin Chu.
The next second, his body transformed into a thin flame and re-entered Qin Chu's body. Until he found a suitable body, only Qin Chu's body could keep Phil in his sanity.
Just after Phil had fully penetrated his body, Qin Chu finally stretched his arm out forcefully, and the matter here was resolved relatively smoothly.
I wonder if this Flame Witch will steal my experience points like Sapling.
Next, the question is how to leave this place.
There are two methods. One is to use a magic scroll engraved with a spatial teleportation array.
The problem is that we don't know the exact coordinates. The location of the teleportation might be off, and we could easily get stuck in the rocks if we're not careful.
Another option is to return the way they came, penetrate the lava layer by layer, and smash through the collapsed mountain peak.
"Sorry, I blew up this whole mountain." Phil's somewhat embarrassed voice came from inside the body.
She had completely lost control at that point. Even though Qin Chu and the other person had come to help her, she launched an indiscriminate attack, blowing the entire Flame Mountain to smithereens.
"It's alright, this place can't trap me, don't worry," Qin Chu said softly with a slight smile.
Heloise sensed Qin Chu was about to leave, and after a brief hesitation, she finally stepped forward to remind him, "My master... if you are leaving here, please be careful."
Heloise had been reluctant to admit it, but Qin Chu was, after all, her current master.
With her new master, Heloise felt she had to demonstrate her value; things without value had no reason to exist and should be destroyed.
These are values developed among Magic Creature.
"I know Daiaboliq very well; he's a very cautious and careful fellow. Right now, Daiaboliq is definitely leading his other men to surround the collapsed mountain, trying to make sure you're really dead."
"Even if it's a waste of power, Daiaboliq will definitely set up layers of traps and restrictions around the collapsed Flame Mountain."
"If you don't die, once you leave the Flame Mountain, you will immediately be met with these traps."
Based on her understanding of Daiaboliq, Heloise stated her assessment. "He might even be able to urgently mobilize an even larger number of powerful individuals from the Demonic Beast Territory."
"As the eldest prince, and the strongest among all the princes, Daiaboliq's influence among Magic Creature is extremely exaggerated."
"There are countless high-ranking Magic Creature under Daiaboliq's command, and even the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings and Seventeen Demon General of the Abyss, who are directly under the Demon King, have started to befriend Daiaboliq in recent years."
