Qin Chu was unable to communicate with Athena's soul, but he could glean some information from its manifestations.

With a slight nod, Qin Chu's consciousness hovered above the altar, seemingly searching for his next target.

Ultimately, Qin Chu focused his attention on the rotting chunk of flesh covered in dense tentacles.

There's not much of a reason; I just don't like this guy, that's all.

The next instant, Qin Chu's consciousness suddenly enveloped him.

This time, however, Qin Chu did not use the power of the Holy Light; Gluttony Divinity and Devourer were simultaneously activated.

The ravenous, writhing Hungry Squirm of Gluttony Divinity and the Devourer Greed Authority are similar in some ways, both involving plunder, but they also have some differences.

The Devourer can only devour the energy and power of living beings. When facing beings stronger than itself, the Devourer will be severely limited, or even completely ineffective.

The Gluttony Divinity transforms what it devours into usable energy, at a rate far exceeding that of Devourer. However, this transformation is only temporary; the energy disappears once released. Powers are also directly devoured and transformed. But... theoretically, the Gluttony Divinity can consume everything—a tree, a river, a mountain peak—anything existing in this Gluttony Divinity is edible... even deadly Gluttony Divinity can be transformed into energy, even Gluttony Divinity piercing the body, and even magic and martial arts attacks.

Even a god can eat it right before your eyes...

Of course, whether it can be digested is another matter.

Because the Devourer is merely an ability derived from Transcendent Authority, it is inherently a level weaker than the Gluttony Divinity.

If it were not Greed Authority, but Greed Dominion, the Devourer's effect would probably be no less than the Hungry Squirm.

In the fleeting moment that some thoughts flashed through my mind, Hungry Squirm swept over the head of the strange statue, and in the dim light, I could almost hear a crisp cracking sound.

A large chunk was immediately gnawed off the top of the statue's head.

The effect was even more exaggerated than Qin Chu had imagined. Wasn't it a little scary?

The statue seemed to sense the threat, swaying slightly, causing the chains extending from it to rattle.

As the statues appeared and disappeared, Qin Chu seemed to have a strange illusion that the other five statues were all facing his direction, with all sorts of strange gazes fixed on his consciousness.

In that instant, Qin Chu's consciousness fluctuated inexplicably, and he even felt as if he was about to collapse.

Qin Chu quickly calmed himself down. He knew he didn't have much time left. The Goddess of Holy Light was in a bad state, and the Evil God's ability to interfere with the Lower Realm was stronger than before. If he accidentally introduced the Evil God's will into Athena's soul space, it would be a terrible situation for both himself and Athena.

Qin Chu pushed the Gluttony Divinity to its limit; Hungry Squirm writhed and coiled around the statue, and a series of cracking sounds echoed as the statue's bald head disappeared piece by piece at a visible speed.

Before long, the Gluttony Divinity had already devoured more than half of his head.

The Devourer finally appeared at this moment, quickly wrapping itself around the broken statue and frantically penetrating into its interior.

Having absorbed the statue of the Lord of Pleasure, Qin Chu already knew that a trace of Divinity was buried within the statue. Although it was very weak, it was definitely a tonic for him. Qin Chu did not want the Gluttony Divinity to devour this Divinity as well.

Because of the Gluttony Divinity's disruption, the Devourer's intrusion was much easier than before, and it had completely penetrated the statue's interior in a short time. Immediately afterwards, a powerful attraction emanated from the Devourer.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Strange sounds continued to emanate, and amidst these teeth-grinding noises, a wisp of light gray thread was forcibly pulled from the statue by the Devourer.

Qin Chu's consciousness surged forward and directly absorbed this wisp of thread.

Decomposer!

Decomposition Divinity!

Chapter 405 Athena's Mission (2)

Decomposer? Decomposition Divinity?

Originally, seeing the statue as a lump of rotting flesh, Qin Chu speculated that the Divinity of this Evil God might be related to words like decay and corrosion, but he never expected it to be decomposition.

As Qin Chu swallowed that Decomposition Divinity, the statue completely lost its support and collapsed onto the altar, turning into a large amount of rubble.

The chains that originally extended from the statue also disappeared at this moment.

Of the seven statues, two have now been destroyed, and the chains binding Athena's soul have visibly diminished.

Compared to the first time he cleaned the statues, this time it was indeed much easier. Qin Chu didn't feel much fatigue. He should be able to destroy another statue without any problem, but Qin Chu didn't do that.

On one hand, it was to maintain control over Athena.

On the other hand, it was also to preserve his own strength. His physical body was already extremely weak, and if his spirit also fell into exhaustion, then if he encountered any situation, he would really have no strength to fight back at all, which was something Qin Chu absolutely did not want to see.

Nodding slightly to Athena's soul, Qin Chu's consciousness detached from Athena's soul space. When he opened his eyes again, he was still faced with that beautiful, gentle, and flushed face.

Her voluptuous body was still lying on top of him, breathing slightly.

Strands of messy hair fell onto her chest, causing a slight itch on her skin.

It seems Athena is quite exhausted as well.

When Athena saw Qin Chu open his eyes, Athena was somewhat surprised. "Huh? Why so fast this time?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chu was immediately speechless. Did this woman not know how to speak? Didn't she notice the ambiguity in her words? Qin Chu felt that his dignity as a man had been insulted.

"Ahem, because of the experience from last time, it was a little faster." Qin Chu explained simply, "How are you feeling now?"

Athena closed her eyes and assessed her current physical condition. "It seems a little easier than before."

"That's good, it seems to be effective."

"There are still five idols in your soul. I will find an opportunity to exorcise all five idols in the future, and then you will be free."

A slight blush and a smile appeared on her fair face, and she gently rubbed her head against Qin Chu's chest. "It's okay, take your time, no rush."

"There's still some time before dawn, Master, please rest for a while."

Qin Chu nodded and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Qin Chu opened his eyes, only to find Athena nowhere to be seen. It seemed that Athena had left early, perhaps worried that Sylph would see her coming out of Qin Chu's bedroom and that it would be difficult to explain.

Although Qin Chu felt it was completely unnecessary to do this, given the commotion last night, Sylph was certain to have heard it.

Stretching, Qin Chu got out of bed and moved his body a little. He could feel that his body had recovered most of its strength, and the recovery speed was slightly faster than expected.

After getting dressed, Qin Chu had a strange expression on his face. He looked at the chair he had sat in the night before, studying Augustus's notes, and then slowly extended his right hand.

He wanted to test the effects of Decomposition Divinity.

With his palm resting on the back of the chair, Qin Chu activated his Divinity power. It was as if he could sense countless tiny, invisible tentacles emerging beneath his palm.

The next instant, with a loud crack, the once intact chair was instantly disintegrated into wooden slats and planks, scattering across the ground.

Is this the power of decomposition?

To transform matter back to its initial state?

No... it's not just that.

Qin Chu was surprised to find that even after being broken down into wooden strips, the power to Decomposition Divinity had not disappeared and was still continuing.

Visibly, the hard wooden strips were rapidly softening, like weathered stone, instantly turning into fine powder, even finer than flour...

Qin Chu roughly understood the effect of this Divinity; it could even reduce certain substances to their most primitive molecular and atomic states.

This decomposition is not only effective on materials like chairs and stones, but also on living things such as humans and Magic Creature.

Although it may not seem to have a grand or spectacular effect, its power is absolutely terrifying.

Moreover, there is almost no way to resist it.

Just like the remnant Divinity of the Lord of Pleasure before, after the Decomposition Divinity entered the body, it was immediately targeted by the Gluttony Divinity. Together with the Sin of Desire Divinity, it cowered in a corner, trembling, looking as if it might be swallowed up by the Gluttony Divinity at any moment.

It's more accurate to say that if it weren't for Qin Chu's suppression, the Gluttony Divinity could have truly devoured both of these Divinity, using them as its own tonic.

After sensing his own body, Qin Chu discovered that the other heart within him seemed to be merging with him at an even faster pace due to the recent exhaustion of his power.

In the short term, it's difficult for Qin Chu to determine whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Just as Qin Chu was examining his physical condition, he keenly sensed someone approaching from outside the door.

Soon, there was a loud banging on the door, followed by Angelica's familiar, soft, and sweet voice. "Master, we have guests."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the door opened automatically.

Angelica, dressed in a maid outfit, stepped into the bedroom and helped Qin Chu tidy his clothes.

Angelica's long, emerald-green hair swayed gently as she moved, and due to the height difference, Qin Chu could even peek through the neckline of her maid outfit at a height that a gentleman shouldn't be looking at.

Although he had tasted every inch of Angelica's skin, this feeling was still quite unique.

Angelica could naturally sense her master's unrestrained and undisguised gaze. She merely gave Qin Chu a slightly seductive sidelong glance but didn't say anything more.

For a maid, having a body that still attracts her master is something to be very proud of.

"It's Grand Master Veronica of the Holy Knights Order of the Holy Church, and one of the vice-principals, Ampton."

These are the two people that Athena and Sylph mentioned earlier.

Just as Athena said, the two of them couldn't wait to come again today.

It seems that the situation of the Holy Church is quite dire.

Qin Chu could easily imagine the crisis facing the Holy Church at this moment.

The two most important people in the Holy See, the Pope who holds the highest authority and the Holy Maiden who represents the Holy See, actually had a falling out and even engaged in a life-or-death battle.

This alone has an even greater impact than the tens of thousands of deaths within the Holy Church.

Despite having the largest number of followers and wielding considerable influence over the Holy Church family and nobility, especially the nobility (70% of whom are followers of the Holy Church), the faith of these individuals is virtually worthless.

They do not pledge their loyalty to the Holy Church; they merely use the title of followers of the Goddess of Holy Light as a facade, hoping to seek the Holy Church's protection in case of trouble, while all they have to give is a meager monthly donation.

The Holy Church is now facing such a disaster: the Pope is dead, saints are missing, a large number of high-ranking officials have died, there is infighting, and Knight, nuns, and priests have suffered heavy casualties.

Anyone can see that in just a few short days, the Holy Church's influence has diminished considerably.

The label of being a follower of the Goddess of Holy Light no longer brings any benefits and may even become a burden.

Those shrewd nobles would immediately discard this hot potato, and might even take the initiative to sever ties with the Holy Church.

Because they were well aware that the Holy Church would soon face a double attack from both the royal family and the Earth Mother Church. If they couldn't sever ties with the Church sooner, they might be implicated during the reckoning.

If the remaining members of the Holy Church can cooperate sincerely at this time, they may still be able to maintain the Holy Church's basic foundation. Although its influence will be much less than before, it will not be completely wiped out.

Unfortunately, genuine cooperation was absolutely impossible for those people; everyone was eyeing the vacant papal throne, and everyone wanted to climb into that position.

This is evident from the fact that only Veronica and Ampton came looking for him. After all, there were definitely more than just these two who were imprisoned due to Rosweisse's scheme.

"Where are they now?" Qin Chu quickly ran through his mind and then asked.

"The reception room."

"Then, let them wait a moment. Could you please call Athena, Sylph, and Ekaterina over here?"

After straightening her master's Angelica took a step back, glanced at her master's current appearance, and seemed quite satisfied with her work. The little maid nodded obediently, then turned and left.

Not long after, Athena, Sylph, and Ekaterina appeared before Qin Chu.

Qin Chu was pondering in his mind: ' Athena, since Rosweisse disappeared three days ago, have you maintained contact with her?'

Athena shook her head slightly.

Sylph and Ekaterina had the same reaction; they felt that their mission of staying by Rosweisse's side was complete, and there was no need to contact Rosweisse anymore.

Besides, it's probably impossible to contact Rosweisse now.

Given that woman's shrewdness, after this failure, she would likely be very careful to completely conceal her existence; she wouldn't even let others know whether she was dead or alive.

"So, Athena, I'm now giving you a task. Sylph, Ekaterina, you two will assist Athena..."

"I need you to find a way to contact Rosweisse... and then, give her the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment." Qin Chu's smile grew increasingly deep and sinister.

Qin Chu knew exactly what he needed to use to lure Rosweisse into a trap.

Those Soul Fragment were of no value to Qin Chu.

But for Rosweisse, it was priceless!

Chapter 406 The Pope of Destiny

(Requesting monthly votes and recommendation votes)

Qin Chu made detailed plans for Athena and the other two. He knew that Rosweisse was definitely a frightened bird at this time and would not easily show herself, but as long as Rosweisse still wanted to revive Jello, she would appear sooner or later.

And Athena is at the heart of this plan.
