Fifth Chapter Posted; Thank You All for Your Concern. / The Goddess of Holy Light's Invitation (1)

Little Saya was stunned; even the surrounding darkness seemed to freeze in place.

Qin Chu also breathed a sigh of relief, phew... thankfully, Saya still cares about him.

As expected of Saya Nicholas, he's incredibly clever; he came up with such a brilliant excuse in such a short time.

"Hehe..." Big Saya seemed to have seen through Qin Chu's thoughts, and smiled triumphantly at Qin Chu, slightly revealing two rows of neat teeth. She even made a victory sign with Qin Chu little hand.

Seeing her other self looking so smug, Little Saya was even more furious.

Well, she's completely in control now, isn't she?

"Do you think I'd believe you?" A cold voice rang out from her cherry lips. She was determined to kill Qin Chu today and free herself from this torment. "Trying to save his life through such means? Don't you underestimate me?"

Saya didn't care; no one understood her better than she did.

Saya even casually stepped aside, gesturing for him to proceed. "You want to kill, right? Go ahead, I won't stop you."

"You..."

This time, it was Little Saya who was left speechless.

Despicable, despicable, despicable...

She stomped her feet in frustration, her cheeks puffed out.

Just as Big Saya had thought, she had killed Qin Chu without hesitation when she was consumed by rage.

But now, reminded by another part of myself, I finally dared not act so impulsively.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

After all, there is indeed a subtle connection between the two Saya. No one can guarantee that if they kill Qin Chu and the other Saya dies, they won't die as well.

To be buried with these two people? This was something Little Saya absolutely refused to do.

That's such a loss!

For a moment, Little Saya stood there, unsure whether to continue manipulating the Writhing of Darkness and crush Qin Chu, or simply turn around and leave. She felt the resentment and grievances accumulating in her heart growing stronger.

Her lips were pursed, and she even felt an urge to cry.

Isn't this bullying?

The chaotic Magic Power storm continued to swirl around Little Saya's body, her skirt fluttering.

Seeing her alter ego, Saya grinned mischievously, knowing the outcome was already decided.

Clearing her throat, Saya smiled and moved over to Little Saya's side, her fair fingers gently resting on Little Saya's shoulder.

Why get so angry?

Actually, you see, it's all a misunderstanding.

"Neither Qin Chu nor I wanted this to happen."

"Although it may have had a slight impact on you, we didn't do it on purpose, right? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known until now."

"Under these circumstances, it's really unreasonable for you to vent your anger on Qin Chu, isn't it?"

Can Witch reason now?

Qin Chu felt somewhat puzzled.

But now it seems best for me to keep quiet and leave everything to Saya.

After hearing what her other self said, Saya felt that there was some truth to it, since no one could have predicted such a thing.

But after enduring so many terrible experiences, I always felt a burning anger in my chest, and it was really uncomfortable if I couldn't vent it.

"Alright then, from now on, nothing will happen between Qin Chu and me anymore, is that alright?" Saya's eyes darted around as she immediately said.

She could tell that her other self's will had begun to waver, and now was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot.

As expected, Little Saya's complexion seemed to have improved slightly. After a long hesitation, she said, "You said it yourself. If anything happens between you two again, I will absolutely not give Qin Chu another chance."

"Yes, yes, I promise nothing will happen," Saya said happily, nodding her little head.

You've already refused to give Qin Chu a chance several times, but haven't you compromised each time?

As for what won't happen?

This isn't something you can just decide.

Although the Little Saya are the same person, the Big Saya has been by Qin Chu's side for so long that she has learned countless terrible tricks.

My little heart is already plotting some terrible schemes, wondering if I should find a way to drag my other self down with me.

In that case, she'll have nothing to say.

Little Saya was unaware of what her other self was plotting. After agreeing, she felt a little relieved: 'I hope you keep your word.'

As she spoke, Little Saya's body floated in mid-air.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Return to the Demon King's Castle. I've been gone for quite some time. If... if I sense anything again, I'll come from the Demon King's Castle immediately and kill you both."

"No, no, no, please stop!" Big Saya grabbed the hem of her other self's skirt, forcefully pulling Little Saya down from mid-air. What a joke! She was already plotting how to drag her other self down with her; how could she be dragged down if you left?

"Don't go back to the Demon King's Castle yet. Let me tell you, Demon King Nag is no good."

"There's something strange about that mysterious liquid he had you study. Come with me to the palace first, and I'll tell you about it later when we have time."

Upon hearing this, Little Saya frowned.

She knew that her other self knew many things she didn't, and that it would certainly be beneficial to communicate with her for a period of time.

However, I really don't want to live in the Qin Chu palace.

Especially after learning that the person who supposedly tricked her was Qin Chu, Little Saya felt somewhat unable to face this man. He seemed strange to her, and to put it another way, she felt a strange sense of shame.

That's why they wanted to slip away from here.

After a long period of hesitation, Little Saya finally nodded slowly. "Okay..."

Big Saya smiled immediately. As long as she could keep her other self, the plan would be more than half successful. She had plenty of time and wasn't in a hurry.

That's all for now.

"Natia, come down the mountain with me too." Qin Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief, glanced at Natia beside him, and said carefully, "Zimmerman and the others probably won't be back for a while. It would be too lonely for you to stay on the mountain alone."

"My house is quite big; even if there's one more... no, two more people, it'll be fine."

I have a feeling there's something wrong with what you're saying.

Natia hesitated, seemingly embarrassed, but after some consideration, she looked at the two Saya girls and finally nodded.

At least, on the way down the mountain to the palace, Qin Chu and the other Saya were quite self-disciplined and did nothing, not even holding hands.

Big Saya seemed to be consciously distancing herself from Qin Chu, which made Little Saya feel somewhat at ease.

Inside the palace, the bodies had been disposed of, and Angelica had prepared dinner. After enjoying the delicious meal, she quickly prepared rooms for Little Saya and Natia.

This palace is now many times more bustling than it was at the beginning. Fortunately, as an emperor's palace, it is luxurious and large enough, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room for everyone.

Qin Chu still have a lot of things to deal with.

Qin Chu suspected that Pope Augustus's ring still contained some very important information.

Therefore, after dinner, Qin Chu immediately locked himself in his bedroom and opened his storage ring. The first thing that caught his eye was a luxurious and prestigious scepter.

The scepter is about 1.5 meters long and is forged entirely from materials such as Holy Crystal mixed with Mithril. It is very heavy to hold. Unlike ordinary magic wands, the top of the scepter is not inlaid with a round magic stone, but is shaped like a crown.

Above the crown are inlaid magical gems symbolizing the six elements: Holy Light, water, fire, earth, hurricane, and lightning.

Under the illumination of the magic lamp, it shimmered and shone, appearing quite beautiful.

This is the papal scepter of the Holy Church.

Augustus had used it once before, during the battle against the rebellion of the Holy Church.

It's clear that even without the incident with Rosweisse, Augustus already knew his days were numbered. There was even an instruction manual attached to the scepter, instructing the next pope on how to wield its power.

Recalling the turmoil at the Holy Church, Qin Chu frowned. Although Augustus one of his enemies, he had to admit that the old man was a formidable figure.

Although he was so focused on preparing for revenge that he neglected to keep a close watch on the Holy Church.

However, their own strength and willpower are extremely formidable.

The Counter-Prophecy Art, this mysterious magic, was something Qin Chu had never seen before. Its power surpassed any Transcendent Magic Qin Chu was familiar with; it was a completely different level of power.

Even when facing Rosweisse, who is supported by a god, they still dare to challenge Rosweisse and even the entity behind her.

With the body of a mortal, one contends with the gods.

Even in defeat, there is still glory.

Knowing he couldn't survive, he used his Magic Power to infiltrate the entire Imperial City, allowing everyone to hear his voice, and passed the papacy of the Holy Church to Qin Chu.

This is not merely to leave a thorn that can never be removed between Qin Chu and Rosweisse.

Similarly, it was also for the sake of the entire Holy See.

Augustus had already foreseen that after this war, the Holy Church's power and influence would be greatly reduced, and it might even be quickly eliminated by the royal family and replaced by the Earth Mother Church.

Only by appointing Qin Chu, this Hero, as Pope can we avoid destruction.

He knew very well that no matter how good their relationship seemed on the surface, neither Saint Monica nor Wadsworth would hesitate for a moment when it came time to strike.

Shaking his head, Qin Chu stopped thinking about those random things and picked up the instruction manual, studying it carefully:

"Holy Light Scepter"

"The symbol of the Holy Church's Pope is passed down through generations of popes, and only the one who wields the Holy Light Scepter can assume the papacy."

"Legend has it that this scepter was a divine artifact bestowed upon the Goddess of Holy Light when the Holy Church established. Through the Holy Light Scepter, one can even communicate directly with the Goddess of Holy Light."

"But legends are just legends; at least I've never succeeded."

On the other side, in the lobby downstairs.

Little Saya prepares to pull her other self into the bedroom and have her explain what's wrong with the Demon King Nag.

But Big Saya smiled slightly and pulled her little hand away, "Wait for me..."

Then, with a grin, he walked over to Sylph and Athena, who were just about to return to their rooms.

"Sylph, Athena ..."

"You two, go upstairs in an hour to receive Qin Chu's treatment."

Chapter Five is here. Thank you all for your concern.

Chapter 399 The Invitation of the Goddess of Holy Light (1)

Huh?

Saya's words left both Athena and Sylph somewhat puzzled.

Although they both hoped their situation could be resolved as soon as possible, they didn't think today was an auspicious day.

After all, so much had happened today. The two of them had been attacked indiscriminately by Augustus's Counter-Prophecy Art and suffered severe injuries.

After returning to the palace, although he received treatment from Angelica, this kind of injury cannot be healed easily, and he is still very tired.

Not to mention Qin Chu, who fought with Rosweisse afterward and then immediately rushed to Sage Mountain. The fluctuations on Sage Mountain could be sensed even here.

In the eyes of these two girls, Qin Chu must be exhausted both physically and mentally, so it would be better for Qin Chu to rest today.

And, do they both need to receive treatment together?

Won't Qin Chu get exhausted?

"Is this Qin Chu's intention?" After a brief moment of doubt, Athena asked in a low voice.

Saya smiled and gently shook her head, "No, this is my idea, but you can just do as I say. Don't worry, Qin Chu will definitely not refuse. Oh, and remember not to set up any soundproof barriers or anything like that."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Saya waved her hand and returned to her other self, leaving Sylph and Athena looking at each other in bewilderment.

In that case, shall we go over there later?

"What did you say to them?" Little Saya, somewhat suspiciously.
