Chapter 390 The Forbidden Grounds of Sage Mountain (2)

Huff, huff!

In the jungle, Rosweisse was panting heavily.

The surrounding area was littered with dark green, shriveled corpses, which seemed to have no blood left and had almost turned into mummies.

She finally understood that her arrival here was both a blessing and a punishment from the gods in the Void.

Perhaps, I am the daughter of some powerful god in the Void.

But He will not be much more merciful to Him because of this.

In His eyes, He was merely a more useful and suitable tool, nothing more.

The gods are heartless; blood ties do not serve as a bond between two beings, nor do they bring any warmth.

He will not tolerate himself indefinitely. He cannot accept failure. Failure means punishment. If He continues to fail, then the Fate awaiting Him is to be abandoned or destroyed.

Rosweisse understood that those ruthless gods wouldn't give her many chances.

Her heart must have been crushed by that guy Qin Chu.

She could clearly feel the pain of her heart shattering, and that moment was eternal for Rosweisse. That pain would be forever etched on Rosweisse, like an indelible mark, making her endure the agony of her heart bursting every moment.

The pain was so intense that it almost drove her insane.

However, compared to the physical pain, what made Rosweisse suffer even more was something else... The thought of Jello filled Rosweisse with agonizing sorrow, and her body trembled slightly.

The pain was unbearable.

She hated the green-skinned monsters around her, she hated Qin Chu, she hated the woman who was more beautiful than herself, she hated the father who had punished her, and she hated everything in this world.

She even contemplated suicide.

But in the end, it didn't happen.

After a long while, Rosweisse finally got up from the ground. She searched among the group of dark green creatures for something she could use; she needed a weapon to defend herself.

Suddenly, Rosweisse frowned slightly, and a bright, cold glint flashed in her eyes under the Rosweisse. She quickly walked over.

It was a sharp dagger.

The design of the dagger was very familiar.

A few seconds later, Rosweisse trembled slightly. She finally remembered—wasn't this Aili's weapon?

How did Aili's weapon end up in the hands of these dark green creatures?

On the other side, halfway up the mountain.

Qin Chu and Saya Nicholas stood facing each other.

The night wind blew by, bringing with it a series of strange howls.

Sitting on Qin Chu's shoulders, Saya Nicholas tapped his head in frustration. His competitive spirit always inexplicably surged when facing his other self, to the point that he accidentally uttered something terrible.

Meanwhile, Little Saya's expression on the other side was even more bizarre.

Her voice still seems to echo in my ears:

Why don't I just kill Qin Chu and solve the problem once and for all?

Yes, for Little Saya, this should be the perfect choice, right?

If she kills Qin Chu, her other self will disappear, and she will not be sealed by Qin Chu, nor will the Heaven's Chain forcibly link their lives together.

No matter how you look at it, this seems to be the best choice.

In an instant, the atmosphere became unusually heavy.

A cold glint flashed in Saya Nicholas's eyes; at that moment, she truly had such a thought in her mind.

Moreover, with her abilities, she is fully capable of doing so.

Even if it were another version of myself plus Qin Chu, they would definitely not be a match for her.

After such a long conversation, although Little Saya still had some doubts, she believed about 70-80% of what her other self had said. One or two coincidences might be coincidences, but the fact that the other person knew her so well meant that it couldn't be explained by mere coincidence.

She had no doubt that Qin Chu would have the strength to defeat or even seal her away in six years. Qin Chu's talent was simply too extraordinary; this man's strength was increasing almost every second.

If you want to avoid being sealed away, if you want this world to no longer have another version of yourself, now is your only chance.

Although Qin Chu gave her a subtle sense of familiarity, compared to what might happen in the future, this feeling could be completely ignored.

But clearly, all the problems could be solved if he took action now. Strangely, Saya Nicholas just stood quietly opposite Qin Chu, his brows furrowed, even though the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Qin Chu's eyes narrowed to slits; this was truly dangerous.

"Little Saya ..." After a few seconds, Qin Chu slowly spoke.

Saya Nicholas bit her lip and glared at Qin Chu: "Don't call me by that name."

She felt that calling her "Little Saya" was a bit too intimate. She and Qin Chu weren't that close, so there was no reason for Qin Chu to call her that affectionately.

Besides, he now wanted to kill him.

"Well, what can we do? We have to differentiate between the two of you, right? The one on my shoulder has lived a few years longer than you, so it's a bit bigger, isn't it?" Qin Chu spread his hands helplessly.

"Could you give me a little more time? Ten minutes will be enough."

Saya raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. She had assumed Qin Chu would beg for mercy, given the stark difference in their strength, a gap that couldn't be easily bridged.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chu only wanted ten minutes. What could one possibly do in ten minutes?

"Are you going to rescue people?"

"Right."

"Is that person very important to you?"

"I guess so." Qin Chu scratched his head. Compared to the other twelve old men on Sage Mountain, Qin Chu's malice towards Natia wasn't as deep. This girl wasn't on Qin Chu's revenge list. After all, Natia devoted almost all her energy to the research of magic and didn't have time to plot against him.

"Was that a girl?"

Qin Chu nodded slightly.

For some reason, Saya felt a very uncomfortable feeling.

There are already so many beautiful girls in the palace, aren't you satisfied?

How many women would be enough?

Aren't you going to beg for mercy?

"Would begging for mercy do any good?" Qin Chu laughed, a strange flame flickering in his eyes. "After I rescue Natia, you can do whatever you want. I also want to see just how big the gap is between myself now and a true Demigod."

Saya Nicholas remained silent.

This eerie silence lasted for a very, very long time.

Saya was also a little confused. It was clearly the best option to take action and eliminate Qin Chu now. The longer it was delayed, the more likely things would go wrong.

But it was as if the thought that had always lingered in my mind, warning me not to peer into the Void, was still there.

Her body, her soul, her will, inexplicably resisted the urge to kill Qin Chu.

She didn't understand why she felt this way.

This made Saya Nicholas feel very irritated:

"Okay, I promise you, I'll give you ten minutes, but in return, I need to know the truth."

Sage Mountain.

Natia's petite figure paced back and forth at the entrance to the forbidden area.

This girl is very composed; very few things can cause Natia's facial expressions to change.

Her emotions rarely fluctuated, except when Qin Chu touched her.

But now, Natia's face clearly showed her agitation. Her bright, jewel-like eyes were fixed on the forbidden area, filled with worry.

There is a forbidden area on Sage Mountain, which hides the greatest secret of Sage Mountain. It is a place that must never be entered by outsiders. Although Natia is already a Grand Sage of Sage Mountain and her strength has even reached the middle level of Sage Mountain, Zimmerman still forbids Natia from approaching the forbidden area.

Normally, Natia wasn't particularly curious about the so-called forbidden area.

But this time the situation is different.

This period of time was like a nightmare for Sage Mountain... and for the entire empire.

Including Sage Mountain, there have been continuous earthquakes.

The melodious chimes that emanated from the forbidden area carried a deep, oppressive atmosphere that sent chills down Natia.

She didn't understand what had happened in the forbidden area. For so long, none of the twelve masters had appeared. Even the usually calm and collected Natia couldn't hold back any longer.

Worse still, the Holy Church's cathedral, which was clearly visible from the top of Sage Mountain, suddenly vanished, and a blood moon hung in the sky, casting an eerie atmosphere over the land.

The images that appeared repeatedly, like omens of disaster, made Natia feel a deep sense of pressure.

At this critical moment, Zimmerman, as one of the strongest humans besides the three masters, and also the representative of the Sage Mountain, should step forward to take charge.

A jumble of chaotic thoughts churned in her mind. Finally, Natia could no longer contain herself. She lifted her little feet, ready to break the prohibition her master had placed on her and rush into the forbidden area.

But at that moment, Natia's body suddenly shuddered.

A strange sense of fear suddenly swept over my entire body, and a layer of fine goosebumps appeared on my skin.

Her pupils contracted rapidly, and the next second Natia suddenly turned around. "Who?"

Right behind them, a figure approached silently, like a ghost.

When Natia saw that figure, she couldn't help but gasp. Tall, with a well-proportioned and athletic figure, and a face that should have been handsome.

If it weren't for the two twisted, grotesque scars around the eyes...

"Carlos?" Natia's voice couldn't help but betray a hint of strangeness and surprise.

Just then, Carlos on the other side finally slowly raised his head, a strange, twisted smile on his face, golden flames flickering in his eyes. "Natia... I've finally found you."

3)

"Natia, I've finally found you."

The almost hoarse voice, coupled with Carlos's distorted face and those eyes flashing with golden flames, sent chills down Natia's spine.

A chill ran through my body.

Natia recognized Carlos, but she couldn't believe Carlos had changed so much. What had happened to him?

What's wrong with his eyes?

Natia felt absolutely nothing for Carlos.

In her eyes, Carlos was no different from anyone else; at most, she knew their identities, and that was all.

Natia also keenly sensed that Carlos's mental state was somewhat off, almost to the point of madness. She took a slight step back, her Magic Power already subtly surging within her.

The two were originally of similar strength, but now Carlos has clearly surpassed him; otherwise, he wouldn't have remained completely unaware when Carlos got close.

Huff, huff!

Carlos gasped for breath, finally finding Natia, which filled Carlos with immense excitement, and the golden flames in his eyes flickered faster and faster.

His fingers were even trembling slightly as he struggled to suppress the urge to rush over and hug Natia tightly.

"Carlos, what do you want to do?" Natia asked in a low voice, her eyes darting around furtively.

"I've come to take you away..."

Carlos answered without the slightest hesitation.
