Give Me Jello's Soul Fragment / Athena, Being Too Smart Isn't Always a Good Thing

After Athena's actions, the dark purple barrier in front of her suddenly flickered, accompanied by a hissing sound, and disappeared completely a few seconds later.

This scene instantly filled the Muse with ecstasy.

Without even a cheer for Athena, he plunged into the secret chamber.

Muse, whose eyes were only focused on the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment, did not notice that after the dark purple barrier was removed, the true color of the secret chamber was revealed, and the entire chamber was shrouded in dark green mist!

The moment Muse burst in, she was enveloped in a thick fog, turning a vibrant green...

Chapter 292 Give me Jello's Soul Fragment (2)

"Muse... no..."

At the entrance to the secret chamber, Athena stretched out her hand with a hint of helplessness. She had wanted to persuade Muse not to rush in so quickly, since they had only broken the barrier at the entrance and no one knew whether there were other traps inside.

The place was so eerie that even Athena felt uneasy.

Even just standing at the doorway gave Athena a chilling feeling; she had a premonition that rushing in might lead to something terrible.

Unfortunately, before she could finish a single word, Muse had already rushed in anxiously, and Athena couldn't stop her in time.

Athena could only watch helplessly as the Muse burst into the eerie chamber. After a brief hesitation, she chose to stand at the doorway.

She decided to heed her inner warning and not step into that doorway.

A bizarre scene was unfolding right before Athena's eyes: the secret chamber, now free of its dark purple seal, was revealing a dark green color. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this color was emanating from the mouths of the black insects within the ceramic jar.

Just after Muse rushed in, the dark green aura seemed to find its target and began to gather on the surface of Muse's body. In an instant, Muse's head and body all turned green.

Athena's throat was churning slightly; the bizarre scene made her scalp tingle. She could even see the dark green currents seemingly seeping into Muse's skin and flowing into Muse body.

Soon, Muse's condition began to change drastically again. After receiving two healing spells, Muse's condition had begun to improve, but now it started to deteriorate again. Large blisters quickly appeared on her skin, and they began to fester on their own without Muse even scratching them.

The coughing sounds coming from Muse's throat grew increasingly louder.

What's even stranger is that even though it's very cold here, Muse's skin is getting redder and redder, as if she has a fever.

A green aura even began to waft towards Athena from the entrance of the secret chamber.

The moment it came into contact with Athena, the magical shield on the surface of its body was activated as if it had been stimulated, and bursts of flames sprang up, instantly burning away the green aura.

Athena's pupils flickered slightly, her chestnut eyes sweeping across the secret chamber, where she could even see a strange statue in front of the black stone slab.

The statue was shaped like a toad squatting on the ground with its mouth wide open, its back covered with dense bumps, and the whole image looked decayed and bloated.

Athena's throat bobbed, and she felt the hairs on her arms stand on end. Was this statue the Evil God that the long-dead skeleton had worshipped in life?

What kind of deity is this? Athena had some knowledge of the occult, but she had never known that there was such a bizarrely shaped belief in this world.

He doesn't look like a serious god at all.

A dark cloud even swirled around the statue, and upon closer inspection, it appeared to be teeming with tiny, filthy insects. In front of the statue, there was even a pot that looked like it was used to brew medicine...

Upon seeing the statue, Athena's fear reached an unprecedented peak. She instinctively took a step back and cried out, "Muse, come out!"

The sound was so shrill that even Athena herself couldn't believe it.

The Muse in the secret chamber was completely unaware of the changes in his body. At this moment, he was only immersed in the excitement of seeing the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment, oblivious to everything else around him.

His eyes were flashing with intense madness, and rapid, labored breathing was coming from his throat.

Huff... Huff...

He didn't even realize that his lips had become chapped.

His face was flushed red from the high fever.

Muse felt a little dizzy, but Muse just shook her head vigorously to force herself to stay clear-headed, and then tremblingly reached out her hands towards the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment.

Those are fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment.

It is the hope to revive Jello.

He was completely unaware that the back of his hand had blisters that looked like a bunch of grapes.

His eyes were wide open, and the pain and torment he had endured seemed to have vanished, replaced by a strange excitement.

Unlike Ronald, Muse did not harbor a morbid affection for Jello.

His sexual orientation is perfectly normal.

However, in Muse's heart, Jello was her most important confidant, a quality that even Karthus and Benson couldn't match. Geralt was the only one who could truly understand her.

Only Jello doesn't reject or loathe himself because of his bloodlust. Jello even encourages himself to treat killing as an art. The two of them can always come up with unique, more elegant, and more cruel ways to kill.

Jello holds an irreplaceable place in the hearts of the Muse.

He roughly twisted his finger bones, then carefully removed the fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, gazing at the jewel-like object in his palm, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

These Soul Fragment are so beautiful.

Athena's voice came from behind, interrupting Muse's appreciation of the Soul Fragment, which made him somewhat irritated. "That damn woman, what's she yelling about?"

The gratitude Athena had shown for healing her had long been forgotten by the Muse.

However, Muse could also vaguely sense that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. She spat at the remains on the stone slab, cursed, and then turned and walked out of the secret chamber.

Athena waved her hand, and a surge of Magic Power appeared on her magic wand.

A gust of wind blew the skeleton off the stone slab to the ground. Then Athena opened her arms, and Magic Power gathered between her four fingers, taking a magical image of the secret chamber, especially the text on the stone slab.

The place terrified Athena, and she didn't want to stay there for even a quarter of an hour longer.

Just after Muse left the secret chamber, Athena slammed her magic wand heavily onto the stone at her feet.

Earthfire!

With a buzzing sound.

Instantly, scorching, blinding flames erupted from the ground, filling the entire sealed room and burning fiercely.

The hissing sound continued incessantly as the green mist gradually turned to ash in the flames.

Metal vessels adorned with bizarre patterns melted in the flames, glass bottles filled with the blood of some unknown life form shattered in the fire, and even the skeleton was completely reduced to dust...

Inside the earthenware jar, the countless tiny black insects seemed to sense the threat of death, wriggling violently like leeches, their sharp hissing faintly audible.

And that statue of a god.

The statue became even clearer under the intensely flickering flames.

Amidst the raging flames, Athena seemed to see the statue suddenly and eerily open its mouth, revealing a smile that could even be described as benevolent?

In that instant, Athena felt a buzzing in her mind, her consciousness became extremely chaotic, and her soul fluctuated violently.

This bizarre situation appeared and disappeared just as quickly; perhaps in less than a second, Athena had returned to normal. Looking around again, the statue's smile had vanished without a trace, and the flames had completely consumed everything in the secret chamber.

Athena's throat tightened; she didn't dare linger and turned to leave...

Muse, who had wanted to celebrate with Athena, could only helplessly follow behind Athena.

As she ran wildly outside, Athena kept throwing flames behind her.

She couldn't describe the feeling; it was as if countless invisible threads had already wrapped around her.

Only after leaving the dark cave and arriving in a snowy landscape did Athena's eerie and gloomy feeling finally disappear.

For a master like Athena, this short period of time wouldn't have been a serious drain on her stamina, but Athena felt extremely tired, supporting herself on her knees with her hands and panting heavily.

It took a while for my emotions to calm down a little. I straightened up and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Recalling what she had just experienced, Athena still felt a lingering fear.

She didn't understand what was going on either. Athena felt an indescribable, instinctive fear about the secret chamber, everything inside it, and especially the statue.

She just wanted to get away, as far away as possible.

"Cough cough cough..."

A series of violent coughs came from behind me.

Athena turned to look, and saw that Muse's condition was getting worse and worse, even more so than when she had first met Muse.

The cough was hoarse and cracked, as if my throat was being torn apart.

The saliva spitting from his mouth was even mixed with frothy blood, staining the white snow beneath his feet with streaks of crimson.

After coughing violently for a long, long time, Muse seemed to feel a little better. She felt a bit itchy on her head, so she scratched it casually, and clumps of dirty hair fell off her scalp.

Muse's illness has become increasingly serious.

"Muse, you must go to the Holy Church or the Earth Mother Church for treatment immediately. Your condition is very serious," Athena said in a deep voice.

Muse nodded.

Even with his arrogant personality, he had to admit at this moment that something was indeed wrong with him.

"Oh, right, give me Jello's Soul Fragment." Athena suddenly thought of this and reached out her hand to Muse.

Muse's expression changed, her eyes filled with vigilance.

He instinctively clutched his pocket, his eyelids narrowing to slits. "What do you need Jello's Soul Fragment for? They'll be just as good here with me, won't they?"

"I just wanted to check if this thing was indeed a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, and whether it was damaged," Athena said quietly. "You don't need to be so wary of me."

"If I really wanted to do something wicked, I wouldn't have needed to treat you just now, or even take advantage of your illness to kill you. You know very well that you, in your current sickly state, are no match for me," Athena said coldly, scoffing at Muse's wariness and suspicion.

Chapter 293 Athena, being too smart isn't always a good thing (

3)

Muse felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through.

After all, this was a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment. For Muse, who valued Jello highly, having this thing on her own body was the most reassuring thing. Besides, she didn't even trust Athena, who was also a member of the Hero's Party.

But Athena's words make some sense. Although Muse felt that the Soul Fragment belonged to Jello, after all, he sensed Jello's aura from it, so it shouldn't be fake.

But what if?

Moreover, the Soul Fragment was made into a ring and worn on that guy's finger; who knows if the ring broke during the process?

From this perspective, it would be a good idea to have Athena check it first.

Although she disliked Athena, Muse knew that given Athena's feelings for Jello, she would never betray Jello. After thinking for a moment, Muse handed the ring to Athena.

After accepting the ring, Athena let out a soft sigh.

I'm still not ruthless enough.

Now, Jello's remnant soul has been revived in Qin Chu's body, and within the Hero's Party, there is a traitor who betrayed Jello, and Muse is one of the suspects.

Athena must give this Soul Fragment to Qin Chu so that Jello's remnant soul can recover quickly.

Although killing Muse was definitely the best way to cover up the truth, Athena decided to think of another way... She muttered to herself as she pondered what good way she could deceive Muse.

Athena simultaneously infused her consciousness into the Soul Fragment...

On one hand, it was to check if the Soul Fragment were damaged; on the other hand, Athena also wanted to meet the real Jello.

I hadn't had this idea before, but after obtaining the fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, the idea became extremely strong.

Although the soul there has been revived, it is still in Qin Chu's appearance. At first, it was fine, but now Athena's resistance is getting stronger and stronger, and she always has an uncomfortable feeling.

A slight smile curved her lips. If she could draw out the remnant soul from this Soul Fragment, that would be ideal, after all, it was Jello, pure and unadulterated.

Athena believed that once she saw the real, pure Jello again, her feelings would be able to stabilize and she would no longer be as confused as before.

However, Athena's expression gradually changed.

Her fingers began to tremble, and a pale blush crept onto her cheeks, almost the same color as the surrounding snow.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and his breathing turned into violent gasps.

Especially those beautiful eyes, filled with deep shock and even an overwhelming fear.

Seeing Athena's appearance, Muse's heart skipped a beat. What was going on Muse? Why was this woman reacting like this?

Could there be something wrong with this Soul Fragment?

Muse panicked and quickly stepped forward to grab Athena's hand to ask what was going on.
