Goddess of the Moon?

After a brief hesitation, Augustus continued, "Besides, don't you think the Hero's strength is growing far too fast?"

"I have no doubt that with the talent and strength of the Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu, he will be able to easily crush Magic Creature in the future."

Haha, you idiot.

Saint Monica thought to herself, "The current owner of this body is the supreme Lord of Pleasure, an existence that even the Hero cannot compare to."

Magic Creature and humans alike are nothing but trash.

"But precisely because he is so powerful, he will inevitably become a threat to all of us—me, you, and Wadsworth— once the Hero has fully grown up. It will be almost impossible to eliminate him then."

Augustus's voice was seductive. "Saint Monica, you don't want your power and the status of the Earth Mother Church to be affected, do you?"

Inside the confessional, Qin Chu's expression was strange.

This guy stole his own secret weapon!

Shameless.

However, what you learn by stealing is what you get by stealing; the effect was so poor that it was destined to fail. It was indeed no match for the original master himself.

Saint Monica was inwardly cursing. If the Lord of Pleasure wanted it, Saint Monica would offer everything—her body, the power she held, the entire Earth Mother Church —she wouldn't care about any of that.

Seeing Saint Monica's serious expression, Augustus felt that she must be thinking about what he had just said.

After a pause, Augustus continued, "Furthermore, do you think Qin Chu is unaware of the Divine Oracle of the Earth Mother Church, that you intend to harm the Hero?"

Saint Monica's expression changed drastically, as if she was shocked by Augustus's words.

The contents of the Divine Oracle were a secret hidden by Saint Monica, known to no one except Athena. How did Augustus know?

That shocked expression was half genuine and half feigned. After all, the Lord of Pleasure was right there in the back confessional, so Divine Oracle were no longer important.

Augustus quite pleased with Saint Monica's shock. He enjoyed the feeling of being in control. He stroked his beard and said leisurely, "The Hero we summoned this time is far more cunning than we imagined."

"Some of his actions even make one wonder if he had been to our world before."

"When he was first taken out of the Imperial City by Rosweisse Ekaterina, he seemed to already know that he might be taken away for a long time, and had already arranged for Angelica to keep an eye on everything happening inside the Imperial City."

"Also, you don't actually believe that Athena is still completely loyal to the Earth Mother Church, do you?"

Saint Monica's expression grew increasingly somber.

"Qin Chu keeps gathering experts around him: Angelica, Violet, Antasia, Norma. Even when he's fighting against numerous nobles, he keeps Heloise and Ieta by his side. What do you think Qin Chu is trying to do?"

"Could it be that he was only attracted to her good looks?"

"No, absolutely not. Hero could not be such a shallow person."

"Being obsessed with lust is just a facade Qin Chu puts on to deceive everyone. A person who is obsessed with lust will subconsciously be looked down upon, making people think that he is nothing special, thus lowering their evaluation and vigilance towards him."

"His real purpose is to use this disguise to continuously expand the power he can control before others take him seriously."

"Otherwise, with so many experts in this world, including many powerful men, why would Qin Chu prefer to add female Magic Creature to his team rather than recruit any male experts? There's only one reason: he doesn't want to expose his true colors and wants people to continue to ignore his threat."

Augustus spoke eloquently and made a lot of sense.

Inside the confessional, Qin Chu was stunned. So that's how I was thinking. This person is really too insidious and cunning.

Augustus felt his reasoning was absolutely correct. If Qin Chu was simply a womanizer, then why hadn't Qin Chu ever made a move on any of the beautiful nuns in the Church or the gorgeous young ladies of the nobility?

Everyone, even Saint Monica and Wadsworth, was deceived by Qin Chu's hypocritical mask. Only Augustus remained clear-headed and saw through Qin Chu's true colors.

This man is treacherous, cunning, and shameless, yet he knows how to be patient.

He is a very difficult opponent to deal with.

Augustus continued to entice, "Saint Monica, why do you think the Hero has accumulated such a powerful force? Is it simply to fight against Magic Creature?"

"Or is it that the Hero has always been wary of you, me, and Wadsworth?"

"Once the Magic Creature are eradicated, do you think this Hero, with such a sinister and cunning mind, will still allow us to live in this world?"

Saint Monica still didn't agree, but after a brief hesitation, she slowly spoke, "Augustus, you yourself said that a large number of experts have now gathered around the Hero."

"Leaving aside the Hero himself, those women alone are not easy to deal with."

Augustus smiled slightly, "So, Saint Monica, let's join forces and take down Qin Chu."

"The Hero is strong, Hero women around him are strong too, but if you and I join forces, it won't be difficult to completely destroy the Hero's power."

"What are your plans?" Saint Monica continued, seemingly somewhat swayed by Augustus.

"Heh, our Holy Church's Saintess, Rosweisse, seems to be up to some tricks lately."

"I don't know where this woman heard it from, but that the blood of the Second-Generation Hero can revive the First-Generation Hero. You know that girl is devoted to Jello, even though Jello has been dead for many years, she still misses him and is extremely opposed to the Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu."

"After learning this news, she became single-minded in trying to hunt down Qin Chu and is preparing to take action soon. The former members of the Hero's Party will all participate. She has even used all the leverage she has to blackmail some experts within the Holy Church to assist her."

"Archbishop Cain sensed danger and told me about it."

"Although I don't think Rosweisse will succeed, this is indeed a good opportunity for us. We can hunt down the Hero and then pin the blame on Rosweisse."

Chapter 333 Moon Goddess? (3)

In the confessional room at the back, Qin Chu was taken aback.

To be honest, Augustus a cunning and shrewd fellow, definitely the most difficult one to deal with among these people.

He was very strong and meticulous; Augustus noticed that he had asked Angelica to keep an eye on the situation inside the Imperial City.

Augustus's various reasoning about this Hero was quite reasonable, although it was only one aspect of the reason, but Qin Chu had indeed considered it in this way.

But what surprised Qin Chu even more was what Rosweisse was doing.

That woman is really ruthless.

Sylph, Athena, Ekaterina did not bring any information that Rosweisse was planning to attack him, so there is only one possibility: the news that Rossweisse was conspiring with everyone to harm the Hero was just a smokescreen that Rosweisse deliberately released to Augustus.

Although Rosweisse has been very discreet in her actions recently, it's practically impossible to hide them from the old fox Augustus.

This seemingly innocent and naive saintess cleverly considered this point. Since she couldn't hide it from Augustus, she decided to divert Augustus attention to another area.

She deliberately exposed her plan to murder the Second-Generation Hero and resurrect the First-Generation Hero to Augustus, using her feelings for Jello to make Augustus completely unaware that Rosweisse plans had been aimed at him all along.

Even if the resurrection of Jello is later exposed, Rosweisse can easily claim that it was a rumor spread by someone unknown, and that it was slander.

If I just act cute a little more, I can get away with it.

Qin Chu knew that Rosweisse was very good at being charming and coquettish.

Moreover, by then, Rosweisse will likely have completely taken control of the Holy Church, and even if someone questions her, they won't be able to do anything to Rosweisse.

Meanwhile, Saint Monica had already been subdued.

Augustus even thought he could win over Saint Monica as his ally...

Qin Chu suddenly felt a little sorry for Augustus.

He was extremely curious about how things would turn out in the future.

Augustus waited for Saint Monica's answer. Although Saint Monica had been thinking for a long time, Augustus was not in a hurry. He knew very well that this was not something that could be decided in a short time.

After a long time, Saint Monica suddenly sighed, "I can join forces with you, but if I sense any problems, I will terminate the cooperation at any time."

A smile finally appeared on Augustus's wrinkled face; he was very satisfied with Saint Monica's reply.

Besides, this kind of thing isn't something you can just decide to participate in and withdraw from as you please.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. I'll plan this out in detail when I get back. I'll let you know if there's any movement from Rosweisse's side."

This time, Saint Monica didn't even see her off.

Augustus didn't care. He knew Saint Monica was thinking about it carefully. He was magnanimous and wouldn't fuss over such a trivial matter.

After leaving the Sanctum, Augustus looked out at the night sky.

I don't know when the light rain stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the hazy moonlight spilled onto the ground.

Just as bright as his mood, Augustus's lips curled into a smile. Did this foreshadow that his plans would shine as brightly as the moonlight?

Is this a good omen?

Could this be the Moon Goddess protecting me? If there really is Moon Goddess.

Speaking of which, should I consider changing my religion?

On the other side, inside the Sanctum.

After Augustus had gone far away, Qin Chu finally emerged from the confessional.

Saint Monica seemed somewhat annoyed. "Lord of Pleasure, why didn't you just kill Augustus? With your power, eliminating Augustus would have been a piece of cake."

Qin Chu remained expressionless and sighed leisurely, "With my strength, I naturally don't care about the mere Augustus, but what happens after I kill him?"

"The Pope of the Holy Church was murdered while having a secret meeting with the High Priest of the Earth Mother Church in the Sanctum. No matter how much you talk about it, you can't clear your Heavenbreaker."

"Getting rid of Augustus fine, but you must have a reasonable reason, otherwise it will cause you trouble."

Saint Monica felt a warmth in her heart.

I never expected that the Lord of Pleasure would value me so much.

As expected of a supreme being, their thinking is indeed much more comprehensive than mine.

"In short, until then, just keep a close eye on Augustus's movements. As for what to do, follow my orders."

That matter here is now considered closed.

When Qin Chu left, Saint Monica personally saw him off, showing him Augustus.

Qin Chu noticed that the sky above Saint Monica's head was filled with a purple mist, which was faith. He casually plundered it to at least slightly replenish the Divinity that he had almost squeezed dry.

When they returned to the palace, Sylph and Ekaterina had already cleaned up the surrounding corpses, and even the ashes had been washed away.

If it weren't for the traces of battle still remaining on the stone slabs, no one would know that a war had just taken place here.

Augustus right; having a group of skilled fighters around him was indeed very useful, otherwise, tonight's situation would probably have been quite troublesome.

"Sylph, what's going on with Rosweisse?" Qin Chu asked.

Sylph shook her head readily. "I don't know."

"Rosweisse contacted me earlier via Message Magic, asking me to come over with Athena and Ekaterina, but with these enemies just appearing here, I didn't have time to deal with her. I just told her to get lost and then turned off the messaging."

Seeing Sylph's disdainful expression, Qin Chu broke out in a cold sweat.

Good grief, the other person is a saintess, and she was your former teammate. Can't you show some respect?

Qin Chu pondered in his heart, "You and Ekaterina go there now. From today onwards, I need to know the details of every step of Rosweisse's plan, understand?"

Although Sylph was somewhat reluctant, it was Qin Chu's order after all, so she nodded in the end, then beckoned to Ekaterina and headed to the Holy Church.

This was partly to obtain information from Rosweisse, and partly to further confuse Augustus.

Rosweisse is preparing for a major operation, but her former teammates Sylph and Ekaterina haven't gone. How can that be acceptable?

"Anjie, Violet, and everyone else, go back and rest." Qin Chu affectionately ruffled Angelica's hair, making a mess of her smooth strands.

Qin Chu didn't know why, but he felt a strange sense of pleasure in doing this.

Angelica covered her head with both hands, glaring angrily at Qin Chu.

Watching the girls return to their rooms to rest, Qin Chu headed towards Athena's room. He wondered if Athena was awake yet. As for Athena, this experiment subject, Qin Chu was also curious to see what kind of changes would occur in Athena after crushing a statue.

I wonder what secrets this woman is hiding that have attracted the attention of seven Evil God simultaneously.

Watching her master's departing figure, Angelica gently raised her little hand, wanting to call out to her master and tell him about the strange thing she had just encountered. She was able to glimpse a figure from the moon and even vaguely hear some sounds.

However, the owner has been so busy all night that he can't stop, he must be very tired by now.

After thinking about it for a moment, Angelica gave up. She'd think about it tomorrow; there was no rush.

But her little head was still unconsciously tilted up, looking at the bright full moon in the sky. It was as if all the Angelica was attracted to Angelica's body and concentrated on her. Apart from Angelica, everything else was a deep black.

I don't know if it's just Angelica's imagination, but I feel like my level 79 is getting a little easier.

A soft murmur echoed in her ears once more, Angelica tried hard to understand what the voice meant.

However, the voice was so ethereal that Angelica couldn't make it out at all.
