The Dead Witch (5)
Is this a sapling?
Qin Chu almost began to doubt whether he was seeing a girl.
When did a sapling become so... so humane?
Although it decided to ignore Qin Chu, the Sapling still obediently followed beside Qin Chu. Some of its roots became tangled together, resembling legs, mimicking Qin Chu's posture as it moved forward in a crooked manner.
The sight of the Sapling seemed to ease Qin Chu's suppressed emotions a little, and his speed seemed to increase afterward.
Despite enduring pressure akin to a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, or a tsunami, we finally stood before this enormous heart.
Up close, one can feel the overwhelming, violent pressure even more; it's as if this heart is the very sky.
That is everything in this world.
Qin Chu was panting heavily, and a certain desire within him was growing stronger at this moment.
What is it that I truly desire?
Is it this heart?
Is it the blood and energy inside this heart?
No, no, neither.
Qin Chu sensed that what he longed for lay behind this heart!

Chapter 358 The Dead Witch (5)
Saya's figure materialized, her gaze fixed on the enormous heart above her head and the huge hole in it.
Her delicate brows were furrowed tightly, as if she were deep in thought, and after a long while she looked at Qin Chu:
"Shall we begin?"
Qin Chu understood exactly what Saya meant; she was asking him whether he should start drawing blood from her heart, collecting it, purifying it, and absorbing it as energy.
After all, this heart is just too big.
Even storage rings don't fit.
To be honest, even if he put it in a storage ring, Qin Chu would still worry about whether something would happen to his heart.
After all, this thing looks far too eerie, and one wrong move could lead to huge trouble. So collecting some blood and leaving is the safest approach.
However, Qin Chu shook his head at this moment, which surprised Saya. She did not think that Qin Chu was the kind of man who would lose his mind because of Greed and might even lose his life in the end.
Qin Chu tried to regulate his breathing, calming the impulse and fear in his chest. After a long while, Qin Chu finally managed to lift his feet again and walk sideways toward the back of his heart.
Although they didn't understand what Qin Chu wanted to do, Antia and Saya exchanged a glance and followed behind Qin Chu. Even the Sapling swayed its slightly yellowed leaves and followed behind in a crooked manner.
She wasn't used to walking on tree roots.
Because his heart was so big, the distance to go around halfway was actually quite long. Qin Chu regretted it a little; if he had known this would happen, he should have come down from the other direction.
But I'm too lazy to do it all over again now.
After a long period of time, Qin Chu, Antia, Saya, and the Sapling finally managed to get around half of the heart and reach the back of it.
Upon seeing the area behind the heart, anyone would feel a chill run down their spine and their eyes would tense up.
Even the Sapling were frozen in place, motionless.
What did they see...?
Right behind the heart, a woman was kneeling.
Perhaps it was because this enormous heart was so striking that it hadn't been noticed before.
The woman was slender, wearing a black gauze dress that revealed glimpses of her snow-white skin.
She knelt behind her heart, bowing towards it, her head slightly lowered, her small hands clasped tightly to her chest, as if in prayer.
Although her face is not clearly visible, judging from her figure and skin, she must be a beauty.
She had been kneeling there for an unknown amount of time, and the appearance of Qin Chu, Antia, and the others did not conceal their movements, yet this woman seemed completely unaware, continuing to maintain her kneeling posture without moving.
If not careful, she might even give the impression of being just an ordinary, pretty girl.
But how can its presence near this eerie heart be explained simply as ordinary?
Saya's expression became extremely strange. After a long while, Saya seemed to finally remember something, her tone even carrying a hint of uncertainty. "The Gluttony Witch?"
One of the many Witch Saya knows.
Moreover, she was one of the more powerful beings among them. Saya once said that the Gluttony Witch killed the Ocean Witch plundered her power.
Qin Chu was startled, and Antia changed drastically. Her spear appeared in her palm in a flash, and she was already ready for battle.
This mysterious woman kneeling behind them is actually the Gluttony Witch?
What is she doing kneeling here?
Most importantly, it seems that all the so-called Witch are because after the War of the Gods a thousand years ago, the gods fell and their power was scattered among the mortals.
Only those who inherit the power of the gods become Witch. Witch who wield the Divine Authority should be filled with disgust for something like the Evil God's Heart. Why then would they kneel before a heart?
Could it be that this heart isn't the Evil God's Heart? Or is there something wrong with the Gluttony Witch herself?
I have a feeling that something is wrong here, and that I've overlooked something very important.
No... that's not right.
One does not necessarily have to inherit the power of a god to become Witch.
Saya is a case in point; she was a born Witch who did not inherit any of the powers of a fallen god.
What Qin Chu found even more bizarre was that the intense craving he felt came from the Gluttony Witch.
There seemed to be a strong allure emanating from the Gluttony Witch, drawing Qin Chu to obtain her.
Qin Chu's throat twitched slightly as he moved closer. The Gluttony Witch was already kneeling there without any reaction. Qin Chu initially thought it was the suppression of the aura here that prevented him from sensing her.
However, after getting closer to a certain distance, Qin Chu was completely certain.
No breathing, no heartbeat.
Moreover, isn't this Gluttony Witch a bit too thin? The Gluttony Witch I imagined should be a huge, overweight woman.
Qin Chu frowned deeply, having fully mobilized his power, and walked to the Gluttony Witch's side, but the woman remained motionless.
After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu reached out and gently patted the Gluttony Witch's thin shoulder.
The next second.
The entire sculpted body instantly turned into fine sand, scattering across the ground.
Qin Chu's heart trembled slightly for a moment.
The mighty Gluttony Witch, one of the most powerful beings on the entire Skyvault Continent, actually turned into quicksand and died here? For a moment, Qin Chu even found it hard to accept.
Just as the Gluttony Witch's body vanished, a ray of azure light and a ray of dark light emerged from the quicksand.
The moment Qin Chu saw those two rays of light, his heart trembled uncontrollably. These were the two things... This was exactly what Qin Chu longed for.
Especially that black sheen.
The Divine Authority!
I saw it before at the Flame Witch's place; this thing is the Divine Authority.
The black one seems to be the Gluttony Authority that the Gluttony Witch herself possessed, while the azure one seems to be the Water God's Authority the Gluttony Witch seized after killing the Ocean Witch.
This situation puzzled Qin Chu greatly. Why was this happening?
When Phil and Violet gave him the Fire God's Authority Vulcan and the Storm Authority before, Qin Chu felt nothing and even refused them outright.
But at this moment, he felt an extremely strong desire for these two powers... no, to be precise, for the black Gluttony Authority among them.
This attraction was even stronger than the heart behind one's back.
Qin Chu's doubts grew more numerous and stronger.
Judging from the Gluttony Witch's appearance before her death, she did not seem to be on the verge of madness like Violet and Phil. She seemed to have maintained a normal sanity all along, simply regarding this place as her final resting place.
How long has she been dead here?
And why did he die?
The Witch clearly possessed an almost infinite lifespan.
Not to mention Qin Chu, even Saya was filled with surprise, her eyes even carrying a hint of sorrow. Although they didn't get along well, they were both Witch after all, and seeing the Gluttony Witch die like this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Despite his many doubts, after careful consideration, Qin Chu finally extended his right hand.
The Gluttony Authority on the ground seemed to be instantly summoned and sprang up, falling directly into Qin Chu's palm and disappearing into Qin Chu body in an instant.
After the Gluttony Authority merged into his body, Qin Chu was surprised to discover that it was not a simple power.
The authority also contained a trace of the Sin of Desire Divinity that was very similar to the one he had previously devoured from the statue of the Lord of Pleasure.
This is the Gluttony Divinity.
The Sin of Desire Divinity seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis, instantly curling up into a ball and keeping a safe distance from the black Gluttony Divinity, showing no intention of absorbing the Gluttony Divinity to strengthen itself.
On the contrary, the black Gluttony Divinity was constantly writhing in Qin Chu's consciousness space, seemingly wanting to approach the Sin of Desire Divinity and devour it whole.
It was Qin Chu's consciousness that stepped in to stop it, finally preventing the Sin of Desire Divinity from being eaten.
It seems that the Gluttony Divinity will accept the control of Qin Chu's consciousness, but it still covets the Sin of Desire Divinity.
The pitiful Sin of Desire Divinity could only cower in a ball, trembling in Qin Chu's consciousness.
Phil, as the Flame Witch, wields the Flame Authority, while Violet, as the Storm Witch, holds the Storm Authority.
However, they only wielded power; they themselves possessed no Divinity.
Even Ileta, the Daughter of Death who acts as the god of Death God, has never mastered Divinity.
Why is the Gluttony Witch an exception? Or is there something special about this Gluttony Authority?
Just after Qin Chu obtained the Gluttony Authority and Gluttony Divinity, another ability appeared on his panel.
The Gluttony Authority —are you hungry? You can eat everything in this world.
Authority Special Ability: Hungry Squirm - Everything you swallow can be converted into your energy. Go fight! Go devour without restraint!
This is yet another ambiguous introduction.
However, the very word "Gluttony" makes it easy to understand what function this authority serves.
After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu looked at the Water God's Authority on the ground, waved his hand, and the Water God's Authority flew to Antia, as if asking Antia if she wanted it.
Once the Gluttony Authority is absorbed, that intense craving disappears.
But Antia simply shook her head lightly.
She had little interest in the Water God's Authority; she preferred to fight using the chains and spear she wore.
On the other side of Qin Chu, the Sapling was jumping and hopping on the ground, desperately shaking its branches and leaves in an attempt to attract Qin Chu's attention.
That look seemed to say, "I don't want it, I want it, give it to me, give it to me..."
Unfortunately, Qin Chu glanced at the Sapling and was quite dissatisfied with this greedy little fellow. It had already plundered the maximum amount of experience from him, and now it wouldn't even let go of the Divine Authority. He had never seen such a greedy thing.
Look at the Goddess's Hair; although it's also something that resides on your body to gain experience, people aren't as greedy as you.
Qin Chu mentally complained, and under the eager gaze of the Sapling, he directly absorbed the Water God's Authority into his own body.
What's left is this heart; what should we do with it?
Chapter 5 is here. Five chapters today! Please vote for me with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!
Chapter 359 The Confusion of Saya Nicholas (1)
Because it failed to obtain the Water God's Authority, the Sapling shook its leaves vigorously, seemingly a little angry.
Although it had been residing in Qin Chu's body, it had stolen a little bit of experience.
But she wasn't doing nothing, was she? As long as she existed, Qin Chu could use the energy within her at will. As long as she didn't run out of energy, Qin Chu would have an inexhaustible supply of it.
When Qin Chu was corrupted by the Void, it was he and the Holy Light's Hair that awakened him.
