But only Sylph... only she, tried to know where she was.

Even a woman as oblivious as Ekaterina knew this, yet she didn't ask about Sylph's current location. Why didn't she know?

She wanted to know where she was and what she was going to do.

Did they bring Qin Chu here to completely eliminate them?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Message Magic, Sylph seemed to be trying to get Rosweisse to talk. Although she talked about the current situation in the Imperial City, she would always inexplicably steer the conversation toward getting Rosweisse to reveal her location.

It seems she has grown extremely tired of being around Qin Chu and is eager to leave the Imperial City and live with her former teammates.

"By the way, have Ekaterina and Athena contacted you?"

"Don't trust them. These two women seem to have betrayed us, betrayed Jello. They seem to have told Qin Chu our entire plan."

Rosweisse's expression grew increasingly cold.

Ekaterina and Athena only sensed that something was off about Sylph, but they weren't sure if Sylph had betrayed her former teammates. That idiot Ekaterina even thought it was a good thing.

But once it reached Sylph's mouth, Ekaterina and Athena were immediately labeled as traitors.

In comparison, Rosweisse felt even more that Ekaterina and Athena were trustworthy. That foolish elf probably had no idea that her words would have the opposite effect.

Didn't Sylph consider that if Ekaterina and Athena had truly betrayed her and revealed their entire plan to Qin Chu, would she, as an elf, still have any chance to contact her? Wouldn't she have already been captured or even killed by Qin Chu?

After all, their plan was to kill Qin Chu.

However, it seems that although Sylph has betrayed him, she hasn't told Qin Chu all of the former Hero's Party's plans. After all, Sylph was also a part of the plan back then, and letting Qin Chu know too much would not benefit Sylph.

Otherwise, Ekaterina and Athena would have been controlled or even killed by Qin Chu long ago, and there would be no way for them to contact him.

Of course, this situation may not last long, and Ekaterina and Athena's situation is likely to be very delicate.

Rosweisse didn't care whether the two women lived or died, but she was very interested in the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment in Athena's body.

Rosweisse felt she had finally figured out the whole truth.

The traitor in the former Hero's Party is Sylph.

Athena and Ekaterina are trustworthy for the time being.

In Rosweisse's mind, the fact that Sylph was a traitor was the least surprising and most likely thing to happen. After all, Sylph was betrayed by the sisters Eileen and Aili and was abandoned in Ramon's territory, where she was hunted by a large number of Magic Creature. It was Qin Chu suddenly appeared and rescued Sylph.

It's perfectly normal for Sylph to feel dissatisfied with the Hero's Party and grateful to Qin Chu.

Moreover, in her previous interactions with him, she could sense the difference between Sylph and Athena and Ekaterina. This proud elf would occasionally show her displeasure with her, ignoring her commands and sometimes even talking back directly.

It's likely that Sylph had already betrayed them by then.

That damn bitch, that shameless bastard, that filthy trash.

Hearing Sylph's voice, Rosweisse didn't even bother to understand what Sylph was saying; she just kept cursing, completely forgetting that she also planned to find a way to kill Sylph, Athena, Ekaterina the day before Lord Jello's resurrection, so that she would be the only one left by Jello's side...

Perhaps I really need to start taking action. Of course, Rosweisse won't go and retrieve what Athena left for her herself; it would be quite good to leave this task to Aili.

This dead woman was a very useful puppet.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, Sylph stretched, her beautiful, well-proportioned body displaying its firm curves.

So annoying.

The conversation with Rosweisse has finally come to an end.

Although Rosweisse didn't say a word throughout the entire process, it still made Sylph feel like vomiting.

"Speaking of which, why is it that in the end, I'm the mole, and all the bad guys are me?" Sylph seemed to suddenly remember a question and asked abruptly.

Did you only realize that now?

Athena was somewhat speechless at Sylph's slow reaction time, and upon hearing this, she simply smiled slightly, "So, do you want to continue your contact with Rosweisse and play the role of her good friend?"

"Then I'll just continue playing the role of the mole," Sylph replied decisively, shrugging her shoulders.

"Seriously, is this really going to fool Rosweisse?" Ekaterina also felt a little uneasy.

"Although Master's plan is not perfect, it has very accurately grasped Rosweisse's weakness. As long as these Soul Fragment are still in our hands, Rosweisse has no choice," Athena said with a smile.

"Of course, Rosweisse won't show up personally for the first transaction. She'll probably use some means, like hiring mercenaries, to help her retrieve what I left behind."

"Once Rosweisse takes away Jello's two Soul Fragment, her trust in us will increase significantly. It won't be long before this woman appears before us on her own initiative, and that will be her death day."

"I believe that this time, Master will definitely not give Rosweisse another chance to escape."

After a brief pause, Athena clapped her hands. "Alright everyone, let's put Rosweisse's matter aside for now."

"That's not anything particularly important, not worth all our energy. Don't forget, our master has also assigned us other tasks."

From Augustus's notes, Qin Chu deduced the approximate location of Jello's remaining two Soul Fragment.

The task of finding these two Soul Fragment naturally fell to the former members of the Hero's Party, specifically Sylph and Athena.

Ekaterina will continue to stay by Qin Chu 'Qin Chu side as his bodyguard, just as before.

Meanwhile, Qin Chu was still studying Augustus's notes in his bedroom.

Augustus devoted almost all of his time after the age of thirty to figuring out how to fight against the gods, which was no easy task, and even the old pope himself knew very well that the chances were slim.

However, hatred was already deeply rooted in Augustus's soul.

This had become the driving force that sustained Augustus's progress and even his survival.

He explored all sorts of possibilities:

Pray to the Goddess of Holy Light and denounce the sins of the Evil God;

They strive to improve their own strength, aiming to reach a level comparable to that of the gods.

They use the power from beyond the world— the Hero —to fight against the gods.

By absorbing the power of the Divine Right Leg and replacing his own blood with the Evil God's Blood, he could, under certain circumstances, possess divine characteristics...

Indeed, Augustus's notes recorded a huge, mountain-like right leg, and Qin Chu had no doubt that the right leg was part of his own heart.

Although absorbing the power of the Evil God was fraught with unpredictable dangers, Augustus, driven by the hatred in his heart, still tried many times.

Excessive overexertion and the forced elevation of his own strength made Augustus incomparably powerful, but his life force was almost exhausted, and even his soul was depleted.

In Augustus's estimation, even without the conflict with Rosweisse, he wouldn't live for another ten years.

Their lifespan is significantly shorter compared to experts at this level.

In addition to these, Augustus even attempted to draw upon the power of Witch.

That's right, those Witch have almost all gone mad.

The Witch's near-infinite lifespan and immense power intrigued Augustus, who even considered capturing one Witch for detailed study.

However, that is not an easy thing.

Even with Augustus's strength, it would have been difficult to do.

He once encountered Space Witch. After a fierce battle, she tore through space and disappeared without a trace. Augustus had no way to stop her.

He once encountered the Sloth Witch on the ocean, but she seemed too lazy to fight him, plunging headlong into the ocean mist and never emerging again.

The Goddess of Holy Light once gave her some words of wisdom, Witch.

Qin Chu felt that it might be the key to releasing the Goddess of Holy Light and fighting against the Void Seven Evil Gods.

But the Sloth Witch had actually disappeared into the ocean mist, which annoyed Qin Chu. Finding the Sloth Witch in the vast, misty ocean was no easy task; who knew how long it would take, or perhaps he would never find her.

What if we fail because we lack the authority of the Sloth Witch? Wouldn't that be too tragic?

After that, Augustus, having noticed the existence of the Divine Right Leg, went to study that leg and temporarily stopped entangled with the Witch. However, he still kept detailed records in his notebook of the approximate range of the Witch's activities that he had learned about.

This is also important intelligence; it may come in handy later.

After carefully studying all of Augustus's notes, Qin Chu finally raised his head, rubbed his somewhat tired forehead, picked up his coat from the hanger, put it on, and left the palace.

Before fully taking control of the Holy Church, Qin Chu had a few things he needed to tell Saint Monica, the High Priest of the Earth Mother Church.

Chapter Two is here. Many thanks to Li Gong Sanxiao for the 1500 coins reward; thank you for your support.

Chapter 411 Saint Monica, I still prefer you in your papal robes

Appearance (3)

The night wind was chilly.

The Magic Creature have recently intensified their attacks, mainly targeting the third prince Magic Creature that Candice mentioned before.

But they were still a long way from breaching the Imperial City, yet the entire city looked as if it had just been ravaged by Magic Creature, with chaos and devastation everywhere.

The cracked ground remained unrepaired, and the streetlights lay crookedly on the ground, offering little more light to the night.

The nobleman's house is being repaired, but no one knows how long it will take to restore it to its original luxury.

In that short time, people were like a flock of frightened birds. The once bustling night market was now unusually quiet, with only Qin Chu's footsteps echoing on the ground.

Qin Chu was to travel to the Earth Mother Church to find its leader, Saint Monica.

Although they could communicate directly through Message Magic, Qin Chu still needed to check on the Flame Witch's situation. Phil would try to contact him every now and then, but they hadn't been in touch for several days recently.

The church of the Earth Mother Church is probably the best-preserved building in the entire Imperial City.

Even the Imperial Palace was mostly destroyed.

Although the Holy Church was originally well protected, it was destroyed in the battle due to the conflict between Rosweisse and Augustus.

The magic stones embedded in the walls of the Sanctum are perhaps the only bright spots in the night sky of the Imperial City at this moment.

Above, a pale purple mist still lingered, representing faith—faith in the Lord of Pleasure.

Saint Monica seems to want to develop the entire Earth Mother Church into followers of the Lord of Pleasure... In fact, the number of followers of the Lord of Pleasure within the Earth Mother Church is not small.

For that androgynous being in the Void, this was the best nourishment.

However, these beliefs are no longer something the Lord of Pleasure can absorb.

Originally, the faith would float directly into the Void, but after Qin Chu plundered it multiple times, these faiths seemed to sense a new target. Even without Qin Chu actively absorbing them, they would automatically float towards Qin Chu's location.

The main gate and Sanctum of the Earth Mother Church were guarded by many guards, but it was clear that Saint Monica had already given instructions. Qin Chu encountered no obstacles along the way and walked straight into the Sanctum as if he were walking in his own home.

Inside the Sanctum, Saint Monica was kneeling devoutly on the ground in prayer.

A statue of the Earth Mother was placed directly in front of the Sanctum, but Qin Chu knew that the statue was just an empty shell; inside was the statue of the Lord of Pleasure.

Saint Monica turned her head at the sound, and when she saw Qin Chu, a look of infatuation instantly appeared in her beautiful, bright eyes.

For no apparent reason, a blush instantly spread across Saint Monica's pretty face.

The Supreme Lord of Pleasure has not come looking for her for a long time, which makes Saint Monica feel exceptionally lonely.

With a wave of her hand, the doors of the Sanctum closed automatically.

After setting up a barrier to ensure that no one could see what was happening here, the supreme leader of the Great Earth Mother Church, Holy Saint Monica, swayed her graceful body and took a few steps forward.

He immediately knelt on the ground, showing his highest reverence to the supreme Lord of Pleasure.

"Get up." Qin Chu waved his hand casually, showing little restraint, and sat down directly in the position of the cult leader.

However, Saint Monica did not get up.

She remained kneeling, slowly moving forward on her knees across the cold floor to reach Qin Chu, serving her supreme master as before.

Call...

Qin Chu let out a long breath and leaned back.

His eyes were narrowed to slits as his fingers traced Saint Monica's soft face.

"What is the current situation of the Earth Mother Church?" Qin Chu asked with his eyes slightly closed.

"Goo-hoo... Reporting to the Lord of Pleasure, due to recent events at the Holy Church, a large number of nobles have converted to Christianity and joined the Church of the Earth Mother Church. The number of believers has increased by at least one-third compared to before."

"They donated a large amount of money and goods, praying for the protection of the Earth Mother Church."

"I have accepted all of these people, and I have already converted some of them into your followers."

Qin Chu's lips trembled slightly. "The Bliss Witch Coven?"

"No, it's the Bliss School, it doesn't restrict gender," Saint Monica said vaguely while serving him attentively.
