Jello's Authority (3)

Just from her hoarse, trembling voice, one could clearly sense that Athena's mental state was extremely poor at that moment.

Athena's appearance is definitely not an act.

Sylph's heart sank lower and lower; she became more and more convinced that what Athena said was true.

Whether it's the fact that Jello is still alive, or his previous ghostly murmurs.

In the brief moment that Sylph was distracted, Athena placed a slender finger on Sylph's delicate wrist, and the next instant, a surge of electricity spread along her fair skin.

Sylph's body trembled suddenly, and her fingers loosened.

The next instant, countless dense icicles appeared in the sky above.

Sylph's expression changed drastically, and she staggered backward.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Ice spikes fell in the direction Sylph had fled, shimmering with a deep blue light in the sunlight.

Before Sylph could even regain her footing, the ground beneath her feet instantly turned into fine quicksand, immediately submerging Sylph calves. And that wasn't all; the quicksand continued to swirl around Sylph calves, seemingly trying to devour Sylph entire body.

"The wind is coming!"

Buzz...

A fierce wind raged above his legs, instantly whipping up quicksand.

Sylph's body shot into the air, dodging a bolt of lightning that fell from above, and she appeared with her longbow outstretched.

The next instant, a dense barrage of arrows rained down on Athena.

This was a pure, cathartic battle.

There was no reason whatsoever; it was simply to release the pent-up frustration and madness that had been building up in my chest.

A deafening roar echoed through the mountains and forests, and large swaths of trees collapsed, turning to dust in the raging impact.

Countless poor squirrels that had helped Athena search for their homes lost their homes, their bodies crushed into a pulp in the mud.

Sylph and Athena were roughly equal in strength, with Athena being slightly stronger, but only by a small margin. It could be described as a closely contested match, lasting from noon until the afternoon.

Both of them were exhausted. The place where they had been standing had almost turned into desert. Sylph lay sprawled on the fine sand, her arms and legs spread out in a starfish position, panting heavily.

Her maid outfit was tattered, and even the black pantyhose under the skirt had holes of all sizes.

Her fair cheeks were covered in sticky sweat.

Some beads of sweat rolled into my eyes, causing a burning pain.

Compared to Sylph, Athena was slightly better off, sitting on the ground, supporting herself with her magic staff, her skin and flesh even trembling and spasming slightly from time to time.

"Athena, is what you said true?" After a long while, Sylph seemed to have recovered a little and asked.

Her voice was hoarse, as if her throat had been damaged by excessive shouting during the recent battle.

"I have no reason to lie to you." Athena's eyelids drooped.

During the battle just now, Athena had answered all of Sylph's questions, telling the elf everything she knew.

A deep sorrow was written all over Sylph's face as her slender body curled up in a ball on the ground.

It's unclear how long this state lasted, but Sylph's body finally relaxed.

This is the so-called truth, cruel but something we can only accept.

A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips. If that was the case, it seemed there was no need for him to struggle any further in his mind; Jello had already made the choice for him.

Suddenly, Sylph's expression changed drastically.

If even his longtime comrade-in-arms, Jello, could be deceiving him, then what about Qin Chu? Could Qin Chu be deceiving himself and Athena in the same way Jello?

When Sylph confided her worries to Athena, she was met with a strange and peculiar look in Athena's eyes.

"Qin Chu?"

"When has he ever hidden his Desire for you, for me, or for Ekaterina's body?"

Athena's answer left Sylph momentarily stunned.

Thinking back to Qin Chu... a dark line gradually appeared on his forehead.

That man... it seems, it seems he never really hid this. Everything he did, whether it was deception or rescue, seemed to be for the sake of women's bodies.

He almost literally wrote "I want to sleep with you" on his face.

Now, Sylph strongly suspects that Qin Chu has other means to remove the threads from her soul, and that the so-called treatment is just a legitimate excuse that the man has found that she cannot refuse in order to take advantage of her.

Well, whatever, I'm used to it now.

She's not as annoying as she was at the beginning anymore; in fact... perhaps it's because of shyness, or perhaps because of the intense battle just now, but Sylph's pretty face Crimson.

She was incredibly grateful that she had once offered herself to Jello but was rejected; being able to leave her innocent body with Qin Chu was a good thing.

At least, compared to Jello, Qin Chu, that scumbag, is somewhat more tolerable.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the very obvious negative image that both Sylph and Athena felt that Qin Chu's image seemed even more imposing.

The two women were like lunatics, lying on the sand, laughing and crying, laughing and crying...

I don't know how much time passed, but the sound gradually turned into a faint sob.

As night fell, the sobbing gradually subsided.

Panting, Athena pressed a slender, pale finger to her ear.

"What do you want to do?" Sylph asked, seeing Athena's actions.

"Contact our master; there are some things we always need to report." Athena's lips curled into a slight smile.

This is only one of the reasons.

Another, more important reason is that Athena now wants to hear Qin Chu's voice.

Even just a sound would be enough; a sound could bring me peace and a sense of security.

Even if Qin Chu's only goal was her body, she didn't care; she was willing to exchange her body for this peace.

"Master, I am Athena..."

Meanwhile, in the Grand Canyon, Qin Chu was enjoying the services of the Snow Woman Heloise.

Upon hearing Athena's voice, Qin Chu frowned immediately. "What happened? Your voice sounds off."

Athena placed her small hand on her heart.

Perhaps it was just a casual act of concern from her owner, but it filled Athena's heart with warmth.

Compared to those sweet words from the past, this subdued voice always feels more comfortable to me.

It's unclear whether Saya felt that having three potions on her person wasn't very useful, so she seized the opportunity to replace the three bottles of Love That Topples Cities from the Magic Power potions she bought from Sylph, and that these potions started to take effect, or whether it was the shock brought by the cruel truth.

Perhaps, it's both.

Athena felt Qin Chu's image in her mind becoming clearer and clearer.

So this is indeed my master.

Many thanks to Fanyang and Spotted Mushroom for the tip, and thank you for your support.

Chapter 366 Jello's Power (3)

Sure enough, it was the master's voice that made me feel safe.

Athena's lips even curled up slightly in a smile.

A faint glimmer of light seemed to appear amidst the gloom and darkness that enveloped his chest, fueled by hatred and a desire for revenge.

"Hmph... It's nothing." After a few seconds of hesitation, Athena finally spoke again, "Sylph and I are both here, we just... wanted to hear Master's voice."

The words Athena finally mustered the courage to say left Qin Chu speechless, his body trembling involuntarily before he let out a long sigh of relief.

By the way, when did Athena change her personality?

In Qin Chu's memory, Athena had always been a very clever, insidious, and cunning woman.

This woman exudes an amazing charm that draws your gaze and stirs your senses.

But when you really try to get closer, you can only helplessly discover that this woman is still very far away from you.

Such coquettish behavior only happens to Rosweisse; Athena would never do such a thing. Even after the events on the snow mountain and the Evil God's Corruption, after entering Athena's Soul World, the distance between Athena and Qin Chu was actually still somewhat greater.

At least, she couldn't compare to Sylph, let alone Ekaterina.

But now, from Athena's voice, Qin Chu seemed to sense that she wanted to take the initiative to get closer.

Qin Chu frowned slightly, and his voice became more serious. "Athena, tell me, what exactly happened?"

On the other side, Athena looked slightly annoyed.

Perhaps this is one of the owner's flaws.

Athena casually turned over, her eyes meeting Sylph's.

This master, though full of wicked thoughts and never hiding his Desire, almost never utters sweet words or anything like that.

In comparison, the old Jello was completely different. He would distance himself when you wanted to get close, but suddenly appear by your side when you were feeling down, stimulating your senses with gentle words and sweet nothings.

Although those sweet words now only make Athena feel disgusted when she thinks about them.

Athena gently bit her lip and sighed, "Sylph and I have successfully obtained Jello's Soul Fragment."

Qin Chu's brows furrowed instantly in the Grand Canyon.

Did this Soul Fragment contain something that caused Athena's strange transformation?

Could it be that Athena glimpsed the contents of the Soul Fragment?

Impossible, right?

Athena shouldn't have that ability.

"I saw Lady Ileta, the Daughter of Death, using her soul power to perceive the contents imprinted in the fragments, so..." Athena said cautiously.

Will the owner be unhappy if I secretly view the contents of the fragments?

He worried that his owner might think he didn't trust him, even though he was initially quite confused.

Qin Chu, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it; he was only shocked. When Athena was sensing the contents of the fragments earlier, he had kept a slightly greater distance from Athena to avoid being noticed, so he hadn't noticed what was happening.

Athena's talent is terrifying! She learned Ileta's methods just by watching her once and figuring them out herself?

"So, what exactly is recorded inside?" Qin Chu asked curiously.

"A lot." Athena chose her words carefully. "Master, what follows is very important. I don't know what you're doing over there; there are strange noises coming from time to time, but I hope you can concentrate from now on."

Qin Chu immediately blushed.

Athena, were you born in the Year of the Dog?

You actually heard such a soft sound?

Helpless, Qin Chu gave Ieta, the Blood Elf who had just replaced Heloise, a look. Ieta smiled sweetly and turned to leave.

"Go ahead and tell me..."

After a brief hesitation, Athena did not hide anything and told Qin Chu everything she had gleaned from the fragments.

"Considering Jello's plan, Jello's identity, the eeriness of Jello's one-on-one duel with the Demon King and his subsequent death, and the fact that there were no Soul Fragment left besides the brand, I've come to a conclusion."

"Jello may not be dead."

"The current Demon King Nag may very well be the true identity of the First-Generation Hero Jello."

"An ordinary human body cannot withstand Jello's evil soul and will, but the Demon King's body absolutely can."

Hiss!

On the other side, Qin Chu gasped.

He was shocked.

I wasn't shocked by the news that Jello was still alive.

It wasn't that I was shocked by the fact that the Demon King might be Jello.

What truly shocked him was Athena's wisdom.
