Asina Is on the Verge of Breaking Down (1)

Isn't this love too twisted?

My head hurts so much!

Athena couldn't help but clutch her head tightly. No... no, that's not it. Her love for Jello Geralt has never changed.

Chapter 5 is here. By the way, have I finished the extra chapters? I completely forgot.

Chapter 251 Athena is on the verge of Ruin (1)

Athena was in great pain; she clutched her head tightly with both hands, and muffled groans escaped her cherry lips.

Before making any comparisons, Athena never thought there was anything wrong with it. She thought it was normal for her to love Jello so deeply, and it was also normal for Jello to be so charming.

But after comparing them, all sorts of doubts suddenly welled up in my mind.

Even by the standards of Hero, Qin Chu, despite his lustful nature and the large number of beauties around him, captured a Phantom Demon lurking among humans as soon as he arrived in this world.

After that, they eliminated hundreds of Magic Creature spies lurking within the Imperial City, clearing away many hidden dangers for humanity's fight against demons.

Through diligent practice, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Not only did he take the initiative to clear out a Demonic Beast Lair, but he also suppressed the First Prince, who was Evil God's Corruption.

He also personally purified Karthus, who had caused immense disaster to the Imperial City.

He then immediately joined the frontline war against the Magic Creature and won a great victory.

In any case, they can be described as having made outstanding contributions and working tirelessly without complaint.

In comparison, although Athena wasn't even by Jello's side at this time, she knew that Lord Jello had been staying in the Imperial City and had only gone out once.

Let's take a look at the members of the Hero's Party chosen by Lord Jello.

Because of her special constitution, she can increase the Magic Power of the person who possesses her by a huge amount, which is why she was targeted by an evil magician. In the end, she was saved by Lord Jello, and she seems to be the most normal one among all the members of the Hero's Party.

As an elf, Sylph was captured by a wealthy merchant when she was young, who intended to give her to a perverted nobleman as a slave. However, she awakened her own abilities and killed the merchant's entire family... Although brutal, it was also understandable.

Ekaterina, a former mercenary, was hired by a nobleman when she was harassed by the nobleman's son and immediately went on a rampage, slaughtering everyone present.

Although Rosweisse was a saintess of the Holy Church and had always maintained a very good facade, Athena knew that Rosweisse's mind was more insidious and terrifying than anyone else's.

Ronald, the son of a fallen noble family, pursued aristocratic decorum to the extreme. Once, in Wrath, he chopped a child into pieces because the child accidentally bumped into him and dirtied his magnificent robe.

Needless to say, Karthus slaughtered his entire family, leaving no one alive. Although it was due to being tainted by dark power, Athena could see that Karthus's nature inherently contained an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty side, and the dark power merely brought this nature to the foreseeable future.

Benson may appear honest and kind, but before becoming a member of the Hero's Party, he was the strongest bandit king in the entire Skyvault Continent.

Among the caravans plundered by Benson were countless nobles; the male members were killed on the spot, and only beautiful women were taken to Benson mountain stronghold. This man was extremely narcissistic; women dared not even utter a single word to him. If they spoke to him, he would immediately assume they liked him. During his time as the bandit king, he frequently forced the women he plundered to willingly declare their love for him; the slightest hesitation from them was an instant death sentence...

This man also enjoys collecting women's underwear... As far as Athena knows, some of Rosweisse's underwear is in Benson's collection.

Mad Muse, as the name suggests, has a volatile personality. Before becoming a member of the Hero's Party, he was a soldier fighting Magic Creature on the front lines. However, he is short-tempered and, once he loses his temper, he becomes Magic Creature in killing, slaughtering both friend and foe on the battlefield...

The seemingly petite and adorable Twin Thieves, Eileen Aili, appear well-behaved, but in reality, their cruelty is the most terrifying of all... They enjoy stealing, but they don't just steal valuables; they also like to cut off pieces from their victims as souvenirs—this piece could be an eye, a nose, an ear, or even a heart...

After a quick mental scan, Athena was surprised to discover that almost all the former members of the Hero's Party were freaks.

Almost every one of them had blood on their hands, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that some of them were utterly wicked.

The more I think about it, the more painful it becomes.

Why would Lord Jello recruit such a group of people as members of the Hero's Party?

Looking at the members Qin Chu recruited—the princess, the saintess, the saintess candidate, the great sage from the mountain of wisdom—they were all of impeccable character and integrity.

Why is it that the more you compare them, the greater the gap between Lord Jello and Qin Chu seems!

No, that's not how it works; there must be some mistake.

I love Jello Geralt.

The only person I love is Jello Geralt...

Athena kept repeating these words in her mind to strengthen her belief. After all, since Jello Geralt's death, she could only keep going by remembering Jello image.

But at this very moment, another man shamelessly possessed her body, even breaking into her heart and stealing a tiny place in her heart that should have belonged only to Lord Jello.

This caused Athena immense distress; she couldn't accept the situation, as it would completely shatter the beliefs Athena had always held dear.

She was breathing heavily, her body drenched in cold sweat.

Her full, beautiful body trembled as if in spasm, and one painful moan after another escaped her throat... A strange and intense resistance arose in her body and even in her soul.

Jello, Qin Chu, Jello, Qin Chu... The images of the two men kept flashing through my mind.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Athena's mournful cries finally subsided. Her body lay there motionless, only occasionally trembling as if electrocuted. After a long while, she finally raised her head, her face pale, her hair disheveled, and her thin robe soaked with sweat.

Her face wore a slightly distorted, somewhat manic, even Ruin smile.

Hehe... Hahahaha...

The only person she truly loved was Jello Geralt.

I shouldn't have any doubts about Lord Jello.

Even if some of the team members recruited by Lord Jello were deeply sinful, Lord Jello must have intended to reform them. Yes, that must be it. Didn't you see how well-behaved the team members were when Lord Jello was alive? But after Lord Jello's death, Karthus quickly lost control once again!

Therefore, Lord Jello was not wrong, not wrong, not wrong...

Athena clenched her small hands tightly, her teeth almost biting her lips until they bled, and her expression even looked somewhat fierce. She had to hold on to her beliefs, otherwise, her will might completely collapse.

But... the seeds of doubt have already been sown; how can they be so easily eradicated?

The image of Qin Chu lingered in his mind.

After a long while, Athena finally returned to normal. She took a deep breath, stood up, tidied herself up in front of the mirror, dried the sweat on her body, and then walked towards the direction of the Earth Mother Church.

A habitual, charming, elegant, and confident smile graced her beautiful face as she swayed gently toward the Earth Mother Church.

Beneath the high-slit magic robe, two sections of fair calves could be glimpsed, and sexy black high heels clicked and clacked on the stone pavement.

Walking within the Imperial City, Athena's presence was like a dazzling star, attracting countless gazes wherever she went.

This woman is truly a bewitching enchantress, the kind that can drive people crazy.

The noblemen were generally aware of the woman's identity, and they kept swallowing hard at Athena's beautiful face and voluptuous figure.

But not many people came up to chat; they just nodded in greeting from afar.

Because they know very well that although Athena is very approachable and has a charming personality, she can even make you wonder if she's interested in you.

However, when you actually try to get closer, all you get in return is a cold rejection.

Swaying gracefully, Athena appeared at the entrance of the Earth Mother Church. Glancing at the tall and extravagant church before her, a faint hint of mockery curled at the corner of Athena's lips.

How much Mana did they have to squeeze from the believers to build such an extravagant and luxurious church? Athena has always been very curious about that number.

Shaking her head slightly, Athena entered the Earth Mother Church with an air of nonchalance. Although she was not wearing the robes of a priest, the Earth Knight at the entrance did not stop her.

Within the Earth Mother Church, Athena possesses a unique right to meet the Pope directly without prior notice.

Passing through the familiar passageway and bypassing the luxurious palace in front, Athena went straight to the back of the Sanctum and pushed open the door of a slightly lower room.

Squeak...

Inside the room, a woman of elegant bearing and mature charm opened her eyes.

She has a tall and voluptuous figure, giving off a soft and cuddly vibe; it must feel incredibly comfortable to hold her in your arms.

She wore a long robe of ochre tinged with platinum, and held tightly in her hand the scepter symbolizing her papal status and power... This woman was none other than the High Priestess of the Earth Mother Church, Lady Saint Monica.

Saint Monica seemed to be praying, her full legs bent as she knelt on the ground, somewhat displeased and helpless at Athena's unbridled intrusion into her room.

"Athena, you should learn to knock on doors. I don't think it's difficult at all."

Athena nodded. "Next time for sure..."

Saint Monica shook her head. It was the same answer every time, but she never remembered it the next time. Saint Monica had given up on Athena about knocking. Teaching Athena to knock was more difficult than creating a Transcendent Magic from scratch.

After a pause, Saint Monica spoke again, "So, my dearest heretic investigator of the Divine Church... what brings you here this time?"

Heretic Investigator – this is Athena's position within the Earth Mother Church.

Similar to the Inquisitors, but also different, the Investigators are only responsible for investigations, which is essentially intelligence work, and are not responsible for trials. Of course, in certain special circumstances, they may occasionally need to take on the role of Inquisitors.

Athena wanted to ask Saint Monica for holy water.

But as the words reached her lips, they suddenly transformed into something else, her tone becoming somewhat grave:

"Saint Monica, do I have any signs of being manipulated by magic, affected by mental influence, or controlled by my soul?"

"I suspect I may be influenced by some kind of force."

Chapter 252 Athena: Have I fallen in love with him? (Seeking monthly votes)

(Please vote for this post)

Athena's chestnut-colored eyes were fixed intently on Saint Monica.

This is not a question about Lord Jello... not at all.

She was only worried that the despicable Qin Chu might be interfering with or influencing her through some kind of magic. Jello, a gentleman of such high character, would never do something so shameless; only that shameless guy Qin Chu, who threatened her, would.

That guy is a bastard. He uses Lord Jello's Soul Fragment to threaten her, and even forces her to perform all sorts of shameful poses and actions to please him and serve him. He even uses dirty words and fiery slaps to humiliate and torture her.

Unpleasant images subconsciously surfaced in Athena's mind, Athena felt her cheeks burning.

In short, this guy is a bastard.

If it's Qin Chu, he's capable of anything, so it's necessary to confirm with the Sect Master.

Her small hands clenched unconsciously.

Saint Monica looked at Athena with some suspicion. "My dear investigator, what happened? Why do you ask that?"

Athena shook her head with a wry smile, "It's nothing. I'm just a little worried that our Hero might have exerted some kind of mental influence on me without my knowledge."

Saint Monica lowered her eyelids, and after a brief silence, she opened her eyes again. "I see. Well then... let me give you a check-up."

As she spoke, Saint Monica walked up to Athena.

Although Saint Monica was not young, she did not look it at all. She placed her long, slender, and fair fingers, just like Athena's, gently on Athena's forehead, and then closed her eyes slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Athena clearly felt a special power flowing up her forehead and permeating her entire body in a very short time.

His body trembled slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

The Magic Power is spreading.

A strange mist filled the room.

This continued for a full quarter of an hour before Saint Monica finally removed her hand from Athena's forehead.

"How is it?" Athena asked.

Saint Monica shook her head. "Athena, your body, consciousness, and soul are all normal. There is no sign of manipulation or control."

Upon hearing this, Athena finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Saint Monica, as one of the strongest humans on the entire Skyvault Continent, possessed extremely high levels of magical skill, far surpassing my own.

Since Saint Monica says she's alright, then she really is alright... If even Saint Monica couldn't sense her, it can only mean that the other party's strength is far greater than that of the High Priest of the Earth Mother Church. What level of strength is that? Level 100 or even higher?

What's the point of resisting? It's hopeless, just wait to die!

Athena's tension and worry gradually subsided. She didn't even know what she had been worried about... Was it because Qin Chu hadn't manipulated or influenced her, or because of... Jello?

Then, Athena suddenly thought of a very strange question:

If he hadn't been subjected to any mental influence, why was Qin Chu's image in his mind becoming increasingly clear and indelible?

That guy was clearly a shameless bastard; he even used Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment to threaten me.

Logically, I should be filled with hatred for him, so why do I keep thinking about him?

Suddenly, Athena's expression changed drastically, and her pretty face turned pale.

Her body was even trembling slightly with fear.

Could it be that, after spending this time together, I... I've actually started to like that scumbag who threatened and tormented me?
