Third Chapter Posted; I'm Taking the Little One to Get Vaccinated in a Bit, So the Next Two Chapters May Be a Little Late, but They're Definitely Coming. / The Goddess's Scheme (4) ...

It contains Augustus's magical research notes, Augustus speculations and understanding of Evil God, and a wealth of secrets from the past millennium.

One of the manuscripts clearly records that this was not the first time that Evil God's Corruption the Lower Realm. A thousand years ago, when the world was shrouded in Blood Rain, the current Pope and even a large number of his holy Knight were corrupted.

Their power grew to unprecedented levels; they became violent, ruthless, and fearless. Under the Pope's orders, they launched a war against other Church, flattening one temple after another.

The calamity that had been shrouding the Holy Church finally subsided after the Pope lost control of his body due to a strange mutation and was eventually eliminated by a group of powerful figures.

Augustus also recorded everything that happened to Felice, as well as the background of Rosweisse.

Qin Chu then understood what kind of nightmare the Holy Maiden had endured, and also realized just how terrifying Rosweisse's origins were.

Rosweisse is one of the seven gods of the Void, a nail driven into this world. When the time is right, this woman will unleash her most ferocious fangs.

This time, however, it was only because of Qin Chu's provocation that Rosweisse prematurely exposed her dark side.

It's a pity that Rosweisse got away last time. It's better to get rid of this menace sooner rather than later.

Among these records is even information about Jello.

"On the day Jello fell, seven beams of light streaked across the sky, scattering in different directions."

"One of the rays of light fell outside the Imperial City. At the spot where the light fell, I found a transparent crystal. This... might be a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment!"

Qin Chu was speechless. What was this... getting it without any effort at all?

Chapter 3 is here. I need to take the kids to get vaccinated later, so the next two chapters will be a little later, but they will definitely be here.

Chapter 402 The Goddess's Trick (4)

For a moment, Qin Chu didn't know what to say.

Although we had already obtained several Soul Fragment, each one came at a price and with great effort, this one arrived so suddenly.

It felt like they offered themselves up on their own initiative.

After rummaging through Augustus's storage ring, they finally found the transparent crystal.

According to Augustus, Jello's Soul Fragment were at least seven pieces, and these seven pieces were likely the larger ones, while the smaller fragments may have simply dissipated.

When I defeated Benson, I obtained a piece from Violet.

After much effort and sacrifice, Leonard managed to acquire a piece of land from the Demonic Beast Territory.

Snowlink Mountains obtained a piece of it while dealing with the Muse.

Athena and Sylph also found a piece.

This is the fifth one.

One of the pieces had already been crushed by himself, and another piece had been given to that woman to confuse Rosweisse. Including this piece, he still had three pieces left.

Qin Chu initially wanted to call Ileta over, but after careful consideration, he decided against it.

Ileta is very busy, extremely busy, especially with the recent mass deaths in the Imperial City. Ileta needs to personally handle the souls of those people, which is no easy task. Qin Chu doesn't want to take up Ileta's precious time at this time.

Athena could also decipher the contents of the Soul Fragment, so Qin Chu decided to treat it as a test. He placed the fragment to his ear and used Message Magic to notify Athena to come to his bedroom.

He then immediately immersed himself in deciphering the various notes left by Augustus.

This is a rather lengthy process.

Unlike Zimmerman, who left behind only one notebook, the storage ring contained a stack of various notebooks over a meter high, arranged in three rows...

A large part of the discussion revolves around speculations about various Evil God and methods of countering them.

While Qin Chu was studying these notes, in Athena's boudoir, the girl's cheeks were flushed red.

Her little hand was placed on her heart, as if she could feel it pounding fiercely. Her large, chestnut-colored eyes were watery, and her slightly open mouth exhaled a fragrant breath.

Her beautiful face radiated a captivating charm.

The master actually asked me to go to his bedroom alone... What does he want to do?

Could it be that the master's strength has recovered in just two hours? He looked so weak before... However, given the master's recovery ability, it's not impossible.

And the fact that he approached her first, instead of Sylph... made Athena's heart flutter slightly.

Athena couldn't understand how she was feeling. She wanted to push open the door and go upstairs, but she hesitated when she touched the doorknob.

He glanced down and saw that he was wearing only a black magic robe.

While a beautiful figure can make even a simple magic robe exude extraordinary charm, it still feels a bit too much. As a woman, shouldn't she at least dress up a little?

There were also several dresses and gowns in the wardrobe.

There were also a few pairs of stockings, which Athena had prepared especially for her master, as she knew his preferences.

After a brief hesitation, Athena picked up a pair of stockings that she had initially felt somewhat ashamed of.

I don't know how much time had passed, but then I heard light footsteps at the door.

Come in.

Before the other party could knock, Qin Chu spoke directly.

With a creak, a fragrant breeze wafted in from outside the door. Qin Chu frowned slightly and subconsciously looked towards the doorway, his eyes suddenly brightening.

The person standing at the door was none other than Athena.

However, compared to the Athena that Qin Chu was familiar with before, the woman in front of him had an added touch of sexiness and allure to her already voluptuous and graceful figure. Under the black suspenders beneath her flared skirt, her fair thighs appeared even more delicate and tender, and the indentations left by the suspenders added to her seductive charm.

Fairy!

Athena felt a surge of secret delight at Qin Chu's sparkling eyes. "Master, did you call me for something?"

Her small hands gently pinched the hem of her skirt, and her expression seemed a little shy.

She was genuinely a little shy. Although graceful and charming were the labels attached to Athena, these clothes were still too uncomfortable for Athena. If it weren't for her master, she would never have worn these things.

But it looks pretty good now, and the owner seems quite satisfied with their outfit.

Athena's voice finally brought Qin Chu back to his senses. "Ah, right, right, something's wrong, something's wrong."

Qin Chu took a deep breath, suppressing the sudden surge of agitation in his heart, and waved to Athena.

Qin Chu was still sitting at his desk. Could it be that the master wanted something different today? Athena's heart pounded. She wasn't particularly against it, though.

She walked up to Qin Chu, exuding an alluring fragrance, awaiting her master's next command.

Then, Qin Chu took out something and handed it to Athena; it was none other than a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment: "Help me decipher the contents inside."

Hiss!

Athena's body trembled slightly, and her expression instantly became extremely strange, her large eyes staring blankly at Qin Chu.

Was he shocked that he had actually found another fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment?

This stunned, bizarre expression lasted for a very long time. Suddenly, Athena took a deep breath and then spoke to Qin Chu in an almost strange tone, "Master, you... you called me here just for this?"

"Certainly."

Qin Chu nodded matter-of-factly. "Currently, only you and Ileta can decipher the contents of the Soul Fragment, but Ileta has a large number of souls to process and is too busy, so I can only ask you."

"Oh, I see... So that's how it is." Athena bit her lip lightly, muttering softly, then silently took the Soul Fragment from Qin Chu's hand, took a few steps back, and very quietly began to decipher the contents of the Soul Fragment.

They acted quite quickly, but isn't Athena even a little curious about where this Soul Fragment came from? Speaking of which, Athena's expression seemed somewhat disappointed.

Qin Chu didn't think much of it. After Athena went to decipher the Soul Fragment, Qin Chu continued to focus his attention on studying the notes. Athena's ability to control the soul was still far behind that of Ileta, and it would take a lot of time to decipher the contents.

Augustus's understanding of the Evil God was actually greatly flawed, since his only contact with the Evil God was the night Felice suffered from nightmares, and he was suppressed by the Evil God's power throughout. However, in some respects, the old pope's speculation was not wrong: it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Evil God using the normal, ordinary power of the Skyvault Continent.

Only forces from outside the world, or the power of gods, can oppose gods.

The so-called power outside the world is the Hero. The notebook records in detail the various plans that Augustus made against the two generations of Hero, and even attempted to turn the Hero into a fighting weapon that he could completely control.

After reading through the notes, Qin Chu felt a chill run down his spine.

While attempting to control forces beyond the world, Augustus did not abandon his research into higher-level forces.

Counter-Prophecy Art is one of them. In the Holy Church, there is a Transcendent Magic called the Great Prophecy Art. Counter-Prophecy Art is the reverse version of the Great Prophecy Art. Augustus tried to add blasphemous power and incantations to Counter-Prophecy Art, so that Counter-Prophecy Art could exert a completely different power than before.

Qin Chu couldn't determine whether it had reached the level of a god, but at least one thing was certain: the power of the Counter-Prophecy Art had completely surpassed the level of Transcendent Magic.

The magic notebook contained all the spells, usage methods, and possible improvements for the Counter-Prophecy Art, which Qin Chu memorized.

Qin Chu would never forget what happened that night; the power of that move made Qin Chu extremely envious.

"Phew... Master, the interpretation is complete." Just as Qin Chu finished recording the last incantation of the Counter-Prophecy Art, Athena's voice rang in his ears.

Looking up, I saw Athena with a calm, indifferent expression, who seemed a little unhappy.

Could it be that he woke her up in the middle of the night to work overtime, which upset Athena?

Athena's indifferent gaze fell on Qin Chu, her tone barely audible. "Would you like to listen to the contents of the recording now?"

"Of course." Qin Chu nodded.

Athena said no more, mimicking the tone of the First-Generation Jello, and recounted the contents recorded in the Soul Fragment word for word.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

He started with a burst of almost manic laughter.

This made Qin Chu frown deeply, as if the First-Generation Jello was losing his composure and was on the verge of collapse.

"I finally understand."

"It's all Fate's arrangement."

"From the moment I was chosen, my Fate was sealed. I would be intercepted by the Evil God, my body would be possessed by another Jello, and a sliver of my consciousness would remain..."

"That damned bitch, it was all the goddess's scheme!"

"Hahaha, can you imagine? Even the information I left in these Soul Fragment for you, the one who will see this in the future, was all preordained by that damned Fate, hahaha..."

"Ugh, this feeling is absolutely awful. I feel like a puppet, being manipulated by strings."

"My friend whom I have never met, neither you nor I can escape the trajectory of Fate!"

Chapter Four is here. I rushed back to finish this chapter after getting my two sons vaccinated. Chapter Five will be released tonight.

Chapter 403 What reward does Athena want? (5)

"My friend whom I've never met, neither you nor I can escape the trajectory of Fate!" Athena imitated the tone of the First-Generation Jello, a voice that made Qin Chu frown deeply. What had triggered the First-Generation Jello's anger?

Or did something suddenly happen, and did you realize something?

The previous Soul Fragment mostly recorded what the Second-Generation Jello did and his unbridled mockery of Second-Generation Jello, but here it suddenly turned into intense self-loathing.

There was even an intense, overwhelming Wrath and hatred towards a certain being.

That being was none other than the so-called Goddess of Fate Moirai.

He was also the one who summoned the First-Generation Jello to this world.

Judging from the words of the First-Generation Jello, Moirai seemed well aware that the First-Generation Jello's summoning would be intercepted and modified by the Evil God, and that he would be replaced by the Second-Generation Jello, but Moirai still did it anyway.

There's no doubt that this goddess who controls Fate did this on purpose, but... why?

What's the point of doing this? What good does it do Moirai to turn the original Hero into a henchman and tool of the Evil God?

Moreover, it seems that Moirai summoned a large number of Earthlings to this world after that, and without exception, all of them were killed by the Second-Generation Jello, Muse Benson, Karthus and others, and their deaths were very tragic.

According to the information left behind by the First-Generation Jello, the Fate of these people was naturally in Moirai's hands. The goddess Moirai, who controlled Fate, knew very well what fate awaited them.

What is the point of doing this?

Several chilling and terrifying thoughts suddenly flashed through Qin Chu's mind.

Cast a wide net, catch more fish?

Since it's uncertain what powers the Hero summoned to this world will possess, it's necessary to summon multiple Hero and select the most outstanding one from among them.

As for whether these people are dead or alive, that's not something we can concern ourselves with.

Another possibility is that summoning these Hero was merely a way to distract and mislead the Second-Generation Jello, or even the Evil God in the Void, while concealing the person Moirai truly wanted to summon.

And that person could very well be himself.

It could even be said that he himself was just bait, and Qin Chu, as bait, did his job very well. The attraction came from the gaze of the Void, giving another being that could truly save the Skyvault Continent time to develop and grow.

If the information left by the First-Generation Jello is true, then the scenarios Qin Chu deduced based on that information, in any case, are terrifyingly bad.
