The Queen Arrives, Unparalleled in Grace! (2)
Apart from Aili's grief-stricken and desperate cries, there was not a sound from the surroundings.
The body of Tattle, a senior member of the Secret Society, was trembling slightly, and his face was somewhat pale.
The situation has developed completely beyond expectations.
The situation is no longer in my favor.
The situation has now become a battle between the four top masters of the Secret Society, the four top masters of Eileen, a total of eight powerful individuals, and the heavily wounded Hero, Athena, Sylph, Edson, Milo, along with thousands of soldiers from the kingdom.
The scales were beginning to tip, Tattle could vaguely sense that something was amiss. What puzzled him even more was why, at this point, the Pride Witch hadn't made a move yet.
What is that mysterious, beautiful, and powerful being waiting for?
Tattle tried to slip away, but he was completely surrounded.
Qin Chu was also curious as to why the Pride Witch had not appeared, since Athena's intelligence clearly stated that the Pride Witch would participate in the operation against him.
However, Eileen's screams now bring Qin Chu more pleasure.
The more pained she sounded, the more excited Qin Chu became.
As for the Hero's reputation?
Wouldn't that seem too cruel?
No need to worry about it.
When news spread that Eileen and the Demon King had joined forces to assassinate the Hero, whatever treatment Eileen faced would be perfectly reasonable.
This could even be seen as a deterrent to King Edson and the people of the kingdom.
Having gone through the first playthrough, Qin Chu understood this principle: simply bestowing favors is not enough; while doing so, one must also make others feel one's power and ruthlessness.
A combination of kindness and severity is the key to success.
Qin Chu wasn't even in a hurry to kill Eileen. The shrill screams sounded like heavenly music to him, and Qin Chu wanted to enjoy them a little longer.
Watching Eileen's small body curl up on the ground, convulsing as she succumbed to the devastating blow, Qin Chu's smile grew ever brighter.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but Eileen's voice, which started sharp, gradually became hoarse, then a weak groan, until finally, it disappeared completely.
That tiny body writhed and struggled gently on the ground, and somehow managed to get up.
Huh?
Qin Chu's expression was somewhat strange; her will seemed stronger than expected. Was there still light within Eileen's soul?
Is it a hope that it has not been completely eliminated?
It seems my methods weren't ruthless enough.
Qin Chu gripped his chin with his fingers, pondering what other methods he could use to torture someone... Well, he had many ideas in his mind.
Just then, Qin Chu caught a glimpse of Eileen's eyes. Her eyes were still gray and lifeless, but deep within them, a scarlet killing intent was brewing.
Is it despair that breeds hatred?
Silver threads flashed rapidly around Eileen's left hand, tearing through the air with a hissing sound, while the sharp dagger was tightly gripped in Eileen's right palm.
With blood and tears streaming down her face, her eyes were fixed on Qin Chu, the resentment deep in her pupils almost tangible, making her a chilling sight.
"Kill him!"
A chilling sound escaped from Eileen's cherry lips.
The next second, Eileen's body vanished from the spot with a whoosh, disappearing from sight.
This order was given to the three mysterious men who had given him their services, and also to the three top experts of the Secret Society.
The moment Eileen's voice fell, the three tall puppets suddenly raised their heads, revealing terrifying faces beneath their cloaks.
Its face was ashen and dull, a color completely unlike that of a normal living being.
The face was covered in grime and dirt.
His face was covered with twisted, centipede-like scars from stitches.
Those eyes, gleaming scarlet, were eerie and sinister.
Hiss.
Almost everyone around who saw the three faces gasped in shock, feeling an invisible, chilling fear pressing down on their chests, and goosebumps immediately forming all over their bodies.
The next instant, two of the three monsters moved.
Its sharp claws reached straight for it, then yanked it away with force.
Immediately afterwards, with a hissing sound, two jets of blood shot out from mid-air.
Two arms suddenly appeared in the palms of the two monsters.
Eileen's body emerged from invisibility; her hands, which had been gripping her weapon, had vanished, and blood gushed from the severed area on her shoulder.
Two seconds later, the indescribable pain finally engulfed Eileen's entire body. Her vision went black, her legs gave way, and Eileen collapsed to the ground. The screams that had just disappeared began to reappear.
What's going on?
Not to mention the other soldiers nearby, even Qin Chu's face was full of surprise; this development was something Qin Chu had not anticipated.
With a super strong person like Little Saya in charge, Qin Chu wasn't worried about what kind of trouble Eileen could cause... But, even if Qin Chu racked his brains, he couldn't have come up with this outcome.
Tattle's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Oh no, that's bad.
All three top experts that Eileen brought have betrayed us, and the tide of battle has completely turned. Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death.
It must be said that Tattle's mind worked very quickly. The moment the idea popped into his head, he suddenly stepped back, and a gust of wind began to gather around him, attempting to break through the encirclement of soldiers behind him.
Laugh.
But at that moment, Tattle suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His body trembled violently, and when he looked down, a sharp longsword pierced straight through his heart from behind.
Blood quickly stained his magic robes, and he kept spitting out bloody foam from his mouth.
He turned his head somewhat blankly, and right behind him stood a man also wearing a black cloak and holding a long sword.
That was none other than his companion, one of the three greatest experts in the Secret Society besides the leader and the Pride Witch.
The physical pain couldn't mask the deep-seated confusion in Tattle's heart. He couldn't understand why his former comrades would attack him.
They are all favored by the gods; aren't they afraid of divine punishment for such betrayal?
Is he to be judged simply because he tried to escape?
Just then, Tattle suddenly caught sight of his companion's eyes. His eyes were numb and indifferent; even when a sharp sword pierced his own heart, there was no fluctuation in his gaze.
It was as if it were just a smooth glass ball.
Doll.
At that very moment, a sudden realization flashed through Tattle's soul.
"Pride..."
"You betrayed us..."
Laugh!
The longsword ripped diagonally upwards from the heart and left from the side above the head.
Tattle's upper body was almost split in two.
With a thud, the body fell to the ground and remained motionless.
Meanwhile, Eileen's agonizing screams continued; first came the mental anguish, now the physical torture.
She couldn't understand why the three subordinates the mysterious man had given her control would suddenly betray her.
They also didn't understand why members of the Secret Society would suddenly turn against their own comrades.
In that instant, it was as if everyone had become the enemy.

Chapter 452 The Queen Arrives, Her Beauty Unparalleled! (2)
Having lost both arms, Eileen lay on the spot like a stick, writhing nervously.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with utter disbelief.
Why is this happening?
Hope has been shattered, so why can't I even carry out one last act of revenge?
Why would members of the Secret Society attack and kill their own comrades?
Why would the three puppets the mysterious man gave her suddenly attack her?
Suddenly, Eileen burst into wild laughter, as if she had gone mad; the sound was even more unpleasant than crying.
Haha... hahahahahaha...
Hoarse, shrill.
A voice filled with Wrath and resentment echoed in everyone's ears. Although Eileen was still alive, her blood-soaked appearance made her seem like a living evil spirit.
Oh, I see.
Eileen seemed to understand something.
She thought she had gathered a large group of experts and was full of confidence that she could definitely eliminate Qin Chu this time. But in reality, all of them were traitors, moles, and enemies.
The only one who could barely be considered a companion, Tattle, has been killed.
Another companion Alfred, had already died.
In the end, I was still all alone.
Eileen was laughing maniacally; she couldn't understand why the world was so cruel to her.
She cursed, wondering why the gaze of the Goddess of Holy Light had never fallen upon her.
All she wanted was to kill Qin Chu and resurrect Jello. Was even that small wish forbidden?
Eileen had no idea that she was facing the followers of the Goddess of Holy Light, who were also the Goddess of Holy Light's only hope for escaping her prison. Even without Eileen's sins, the Goddess would never have allowed Eileen to kill her followers.
Eileen is now in an even more miserable state than Aili was back then.
Both of her hands were ruined and bleeding profusely.
However, the injury to her arm was not fatal; at least not for someone of Eileen's caliber, it wouldn't kill her immediately.
Of course, being alive is definitely not a good thing; every minute and every second is spent enduring excruciating physical pain and the despair of being on the verge of death.
Not to mention Eileen, even Qin Chu, Athena, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
No one had anticipated this scene.
Qin Chu turned to look at Little Saya, who remained inside the room, but Little Saya just frowned and shook her head slightly, indicating that she hadn't done it.
His expression was slightly serious... but only slightly.
Qin Chu seemed to be deep in thought.
At that moment, even more strange things began to happen.
Pfft!
Strange sounds suddenly emanated from the three puppets under Eileen's command, and their black cloaks were shattered by an inexplicable force, revealing their true forms.
Vomit!
Upon seeing the appearance of these three hideous monsters, waves of retching immediately arose from all around. Qin Chu could even feel the rumbling of Athena and Sylph's abdomens beside him, as if they might vomit at any moment.
What does it look like?
Their bodies were covered with writhing, grayish-black chunks of flesh.
It looked like it was haphazardly pieced together from countless corpses, yet the joints between the pieces were remarkably rounded, making it resemble a monster that had undergone abnormal development in a short period of time.
Flesh, skin, bones... all grew together haphazardly, with some bones even growing outside the skin.
Beneath the face, the skin of the body, also covered by the cloak, was riddled with cracks.
