We're Still Best Sisters, Right? (5)

On the contrary, the Goddess's Hair seemed to sense something, and the light emanating from it became even more dazzling, as if it were no longer the Goddess's Hair, but rather Gluttony Divinity, directly swallowing up all faith.

Of course, the Gluttony Divinity seemed genuinely interested in the faith in this Holy Light. Qin Chu could sense that the wisp of thread within his body was restless, as if it wanted to break free and compete with the Goddess's Hair for the faith.

Qin Chu tried it out. With a flick of his wrist, a wisp of faith flew into his newly formed palm and silently merged into Qin Chu body. The next instant, it was devoured by the Gluttony Divinity.

His lips trembled slightly. This guy really eats everything?

You even consume the beliefs of other gods?

This is something the Devourer could never do.

The two people kneeling on the ground exchanged a glance and could see the excitement in each other's eyes. If Qin Chu could become Pope, the Holy Church would surely be able to weather this crisis smoothly.

But the problem is how to persuade Qin Chu.

Although they had never met him before, they had all heard some things about this Hero.

He was obsessed with lust.

This is evident from the many beautiful girls in the palace, including two who look exactly alike. I wonder where Your Hero found them.

In short, the number was more than they had heard or knew.

Veronica examined her pathetic figure, then glanced at Angelica's well-proportioned and voluptuous body behind her, not to mention the voluptuous Athena, whom she had never seen before... She didn't feel that she had any advantage over those girls.

However, I've heard that this Hero is also kind-hearted.

They had previously adopted an orphan from a commoner family.

It's a bit shameless, but perhaps we could start working on it from this angle?

The two kneeling before Qin Chu exchanged a glance, both able to discern each other's thoughts. Finally, Veronica raised her head.

A smile bloomed on Qin Chu's face, "Miss Veronica wants to succeed the Pope? That's wonderful... I..."

"Hero ..." Veronica interrupted Qin Chu for the first time, "I implore you to become the 103rd Pope of the Holy Church. If you do not agree, I will kneel here until my legs break, my life ends, and my soul is exhausted."

Ha?

Before Qin Chu could react, Ampton, on the other side, was even more volatile. He drew his sword and held it to his neck. "Hero, if you don't become Pope, I'll kill myself right here in front of you!"

Seeing the resolute look on Ampton's face, it seemed as if Qin Chu would slit his throat if he dared to refuse again.

Qin Chu looked utterly helpless. "Sigh, you guys, you guys..."

"Hero Excellency, it is not only our wish or the idea of former Pope Augustus that you should become Pope, but also the will of the Goddess. Please do not refuse." Veronica said quickly when she saw Qin Chu in a dilemma.

Qin Chu knew that he only needed to put on a show; going too far would only make people dislike him.

He sighed helplessly, "You guys... Ugh, really, I have absolutely no interest in the papacy."

"Since you insist on forcing me like this, I have no choice but to... reluctantly agree."

"Let's make this clear first: I'm only temporarily acting as Pope. Once a more suitable candidate is found, the papacy will be passed on to him."

Upon hearing that Qin Chu had agreed to become Pope, Veronica and Ampton were overjoyed. Forget about kneeling on the ground and slitting their throats, they stood up abruptly.

As for temporary agency?

It doesn't matter, being an agent for a hundred years is still being an agent, it's not important.

"However, if I were to become Pope, some very bad things might happen," Qin Chu warned in advance.

"No matter what happens, Ampton and I will faithfully carry out your orders without the slightest slackening," Veronica immediately replied.

"Very good." Qin Chu nodded with satisfaction.

Veronica seemed finally relieved. She took a deep breath, and a faint smile finally appeared on her obviously tired face.

She no longer had time to grieve for Augustus's death; maintaining the Holy Church was her top priority.

"Hero... no, Your Majesty the Pope, when do you plan to be formally crowned?" Veronica asked cautiously, her form of address now changed.

"The coronation ceremony can wait; before that, we must first cleanse the Holy Church of its corruption."

Qin Chu's expression gradually turned cold. "The Goddess of Holy Light also said that the Holy Church is now so corrupt that she doesn't want to get close to it. If the Church wants to regain the Goddess's favor, it must first cleanse itself of this filth."

Anyway, these people aren't going to go to the Goddess of Holy Light for verification, so they can say whatever Qin Chu.

Seeing Qin Chu's expression, Veronica and Ampton were slightly startled, both feeling a strange sense of unease.

This new pope hasn't even truly taken the throne, nor has he grasped the power of the Church, yet he's already preparing to unleash a reign of terror.

Perhaps, the Church that have already seen a large number of deaths are about to face a new round of bloodshed.

A slight, savage excitement stirred within Veronica. Veronica knew better than anyone the true nature of the Holy Church now.

It was filthy, filthy, and rotten, filled with Desire and Greed.

This is not a sacred Divine Church; this is the deepest filth of hell.

She had long wanted to purge the Church of its filth, but lacked the power to do so.

In the young woman's heart, it seemed that she had already vaguely understood why the goddess had chosen Qin Chu as her proxy.

Perhaps only such a ruthless and heartless existence can completely cleanse the Church and allow Church to return to its original purity.

Veronica raised her right hand, placing it across her chest—not a gesture of the Holy Church, but a Knight's salute. Her deep blue eyes, as if shrouded in a burning flame, blazed with intensity. "Your Holiness..."

"Veronica will clear away all obstacles for you, becoming the sharpest sword in your hand, cutting down all your enemies!"

The milky-white wisps overhead, representing faith and invisible to most people, surged to unprecedented heights, even radiating a scorching heat.

Qin Chu's eyes flickered slightly. This was... a fanatic!

Just then, the door opened.

A beautiful woman with long, silver-white hair walked in from outside the door. Who else could it be but Saya?

She seemed a little curious about the atmosphere, but without giving it much thought, she simply said, "Qin Chu, Wadsworth is here..."

Chapter 408 We're still best friends, right? (5)

Wadsworth?

Saya's voice didn't show much respect for Wadsworth; after all, whether compared in terms of strength or age, Wadsworth was just a junior in Saya's eyes.

Qin Chu looked somewhat curious. To be honest, Qin Chu quite surprised that Wadsworth could exist for so long despite being corrupted by the Evil God's Blood.

While Wadsworth's strength and willpower were impressive, the corruption of Evil God was not something a mortal could easily resist. Logically, Wadsworth should have already become monstrous and transformed into a character like Karthus or the First Prince.

Aside from the earthquake, the Imperial Palace has remained remarkably calm. Nothing major has happened since then, and the emperor has not gone mad as before. In fact, he seems to have become a wise and benevolent ruler.

Recently, more than a dozen corrupt nobles have been dealt with, and even a prince who committed wrongdoing has been punished in a public and righteous manner.

Wadsworth seems to be quite concerned about the Eastern Depot, and has already made considerable progress in this area.

What exactly is His Majesty the Emperor doing here? Is it because of Veronica and Ampton? Qin Chu didn't think that the appearance of these two could escape the notice of Wadsworth, who was currently planting spies all over the world.

"Then, you two can return to the Holy Church first. I will inform you once I have made the detailed arrangements," Qin Chu said.

Veronica and Ampton didn't seem to have any intention of meeting His Majesty the Emperor, given the somewhat delicate situation at the Holy Church. After hearing Qin Chu's words, the two quickly nodded and left through the window.

Qin Chu tugged at his collar, a broad smile on his face, and walked toward the hall. Wadsworth's hearty laughter could be heard from a great distance.

Upon seeing Qin Chu emerge from inside, Wadsworth quickly stepped forward and gave him a warm hug.

"Oh, my good brother, I've missed you so much..." Wadsworth's rugged face was filled with a sincere smile, and it seemed that he really regarded Qin Chu as his best brother.

The furry paws patted Qin Chu's shoulder, just like before.

Although Wadsworth has always presented himself as a generous and outgoing person, it feels like he's going a little too far.

A peculiar scent wafted from his nostrils. Undoubtedly, Wadsworth's Evil God's Corruption was intensifying. Under normal circumstances, such corruption should have driven Wadsworth insane long ago. Why was he still able to maintain his sanity?

Could it be that Wadsworth's will is truly that strong?

Strange thoughts swirled in Qin Chu's mind, but his smile remained unchanged as he gently patted Wadsworth on the back, "My dear brother, I missed you too."

Princess Carol, who had come with Wadsworth, stuck out her tongue in exasperation.

Her lower abdomen churned, and she felt an urge to vomit.

Good brother, good older brother?

Does this title have absolutely nothing to do with royalty?

As for Qin Chu, he's really good at pretending. He was the one who told him that his father had been Evil God's Corruption, yet he can now pretend that nothing has happened.

Qin Chu's gaze swept almost imperceptibly across Carol's pretty face. He could sense that this princess seemed to have become unusually obedient. She was no longer wearing the slightly revealing dress she had worn before, but instead dressed in the manner befitting a royal princess. The whip she used to carry was nowhere to be seen, and even her delicate white hands were adorned with black lace gloves.

A pair of slender feet in black stockings were encased in transparent crystal shoes, making her look like a princess!

Okay, so she is a princess, although she never had the air of one before.

This elegant woman is completely unexpected. Before, she would use a whip to wrap around the neck of her enemy, strangling them to death and then dragging them around, making strange noises like "woo-ha-ha-ha" all the while.

Yes, thanks to the efforts of some people, this famous scene is now known to everyone in the Imperial City.

Only when she sticks out her tongue can you still feel a tiny bit of her original playfulness.

"Did you come to see me for something, brother?" After sitting down, Qin Chu got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Wadsworth smiled. "Augustus dead..."

"The Sage Mountain ... cough cough... only Natia remains, everyone else is missing." Wadsworth wanted to say that the Sage Mountain was also finished, but seeing that Natia was still there, he quickly changed his words.

"Augustus's dying words could be heard by everyone in the Imperial City, so I won't waste any more time. My friend, are you interested in becoming the Pope of the Holy Church?"

Qin Chu narrowed his eyes. Was this a deliberate test, knowing that Veronica and Ampton had come looking for him?

"Brother, you know me."

"If it were me, I would rather spend my time with the woman beside me."

Wadsworth was clearly getting impatient. "Dude, you should really think about this..."

"If you have that idea, with my help, the Pope of the Holy Church will definitely not escape your grasp."

"Then we'll swallow up the Earth Mother Church, I'll take control of the imperial power, and you'll take control of the divine power. We brothers will rule the world together, wouldn't that be great?" Wadsworth said quickly, completely unconcerned that there were a bunch of women in the living room.

Huh?

Qin Chu stared at Wadsworth, trying to glean something from Wadsworth face, but Qin Chu quickly gave up.

All he could see was sincerity and expectation.

There was absolutely no pretense; this seemed to be truly what Wadsworth was thinking.

What's wrong with this guy? Does he really think I'm his own brother? For an emperor, even his own brother should be considered his greatest enemy, right?

However, Qin Chu also noticed it.

Wadsworth was definitely acting strangely. Under normal circumstances, Wadsworth would never say such things in front of so many people, especially something like swallowing up the Earth Mother Church.

His mind had indeed deteriorated, but in some ways he was remarkably calm.

Seeing that Qin Chu seemed troubled and unable to make a decision in a short time, Wadsworth grew increasingly impatient, but he showed Qin Chu amazing patience. "It's okay, brother, think it over carefully. I just don't want you to waste this good opportunity."

After patting Qin Chu on the shoulder, Wadsworth stood up and turned to leave.

Carol had been following behind Wadsworth, but as they reached the door, the princess suddenly stopped. "Father... Father..."

She seemed very frightened; her voice was trembling slightly.

"What's wrong?" Wadsworth smiled at her daughter, but that smile seemed to frighten Carol even more, and her little body trembled uncontrollably.

"Father, I... I want to stay in the Hero's palace." Although terrified, Carol tried her best to suppress her fear and said in a trembling voice.

Wadsworth remained silent, but his eyes suddenly narrowed, though Carol could clearly feel two sharp gazes sweeping over him.

"I... I am, after all, a member of the Hero's Party, and I still need to occasionally talk to my teammates..."

"I see..." Wadsworth suddenly opened his blood-red mouth and laughed loudly, "Then you can stay and learn a lot from your Qin Chu."

Then, those eyes suddenly turned to Qin Chu, the voice becoming more serious, and even the gaze seemed to turn inexplicably sorrowful:

"Brother, my daughter has a bit of a wild personality, but... I'm begging you, please take good care of her."

This strange sadness lasted only a brief moment before Wadsworth turned and left without looking back.

Carol watched her father leave until his figure completely disappeared from sight. Then, her tense body suddenly relaxed, and she staggered backward, plopping down on the sofa and panting heavily.

In the hall, every girl could sense the strangeness of the place.
