Third Chapter Posted; The Fourth Should Be Around Nine. / Want to Taste What a Witch Is Like? (4)

She's beautiful, and her name is beautiful too.

"Then, Miss Adelina, if I may ask, before you became Witch, which temple were you a saintess of? The Temple of Pride?" Qin Chu asked with some suspicion.

Among the Witch, aside from Saya, the Dark Witch, all the other Witch are saintesses of previously destroyed temples. By the way, what god does she worship? The God of Pride?

Does this deity exist?

If that's the case, then the situation would be quite bad.

After all, Qin Chu is now the Pope of the Holy Church.

Those temples were destroyed by the Holy Church a thousand years ago. Although Qin Chu didn't do it, it's still somewhat embarrassing.

Upon hearing this, Adelina seemed to realize something, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, but it quickly disappeared. "Don't worry, I'm not a saintess of any temple."

"The Holy Church's destruction of all temples a thousand years ago has nothing to do with me."

Qin Chu felt somewhat embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through.

"Phew, although many years have passed, a thousand years ago, I must have been the king of some country."

Qin Chu was speechless. Good heavens, this woman really is a genuine queen.

"Actually, among the many Witch, there are quite a few who are not temple saintesses. Pride, greed, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath —as far as I know, at least these seven are not temple saintesses," Adelina said casually.

The seemingly unintentional message caused Qin Chu to frown deeply.

I have a feeling that these seven Witch seem to have a specific target in mind.

"Your Excellency Adelina is a member of the Secret Society, right? Or perhaps the number two? Why would you kill a member of the Secret Society, and even help me eliminate Eileen's three puppets?" Qin Chu asked curiously.

While the two were talking, Little Saya leaned quietly against the windowsill. Although she did nothing, her eyes were fixed on Adelina, wary of Adelina suddenly manipulating Qin Chu's soul.

"The Secret Society... Ha..."

The soft exhale revealed Adelina's disdain.

Despite being a member of the Secret Society, Adelina undoubtedly looked down on this so-called mysterious organization.

"It's very simple. The reason I joined the Secret Society is because I want to use it to find something."

Adelina didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, and before Qin Chu could ask, she spoke up, "After I seized the power of Pride, I understood my destiny."

"My enemies lie in the starry sky."

Glug!

Qin Chu silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

She already knew in her heart that this Witch was one of her own.

"That is a mysterious, powerful, and terrifying being."

"But so what? I'm not such an obedient girl; I won't follow the arrangements of fate."

"For a thousand years, I have been searching."

"Under my hand, one evil Church after another has been destroyed. I annihilated the Plague School, destroyed the original Bliss Witch Coven, destroyed the Blood Skeleton Sanctum, buried the Wheel of Fate, and crushed the Evil Eye..."

Qin Chu's mind raced.

The names of these Church appear in the notes of Zimmerman and Augustus.

That was an evil organization that worshipped the Void Seven Evil Gods and wreaked havoc on the human world a thousand years ago.

They spread Plague, provoked wars, and indulged in debauchery, bringing tens of millions of deaths to the Skyvault Continent.

However, these mysterious and powerful organizations were all destroyed in a short period of time.

So, all of this was done by the Pride Witch...

However, the Holy Church is too shameless and brazen, actually claiming that these evil teachings were eradicated by the Holy Church.

Well, he's the Pope of the Holy Church now, isn't that like him insulting himself?

"I wanted to find my destined enemy by destroying these Church, but unfortunately, those strange and powerful beings show no mercy to their followers. No matter how many believers I kill, I will not receive any response."

That's normal. At the time, the Seven Evil God were busy suppressing the Goddess of Holy Light, who was still in a vigorous state, and had no time to worry about the affairs of the Skyvault Continent.

"Until one day, I found the Secret Society and finally glimpsed the god Secret Society worshipped..."

"It was a thick, scarlet fog, with a huge crack split in the middle, like its gaping maw, but instead of teeth, it contained writhing tentacles..."

Qin Chu gulped down, swallowed hard, and interrupted Adelina before she could finish, saying, "Those eerie tentacles writhed like long snakes in the Void, capturing and devouring passing meteors..."

Adelina's eyes suddenly brightened, her dark pupils gleaming. "When He is hungry, He will let out a great howl... Qin Chu, you are indeed the one I am destined to find!"

Chapter Three is here; Chapter Four will be released around 9 PM.

Chapter 454 Want to taste the Witch? (4)

Adelina's words surprised Qin Chu.

What's going on?

He's already become a figure of destiny after only a few words?

For a moment, Qin Chu was stunned.

Little Saya, who had been leaning against the bed without saying a word, finally couldn't hold back any longer. A hint of mockery was clearly visible on her face. "What a joke, didn't you say you didn't believe in fate?"

"Furthermore, what makes you think Qin Chu is your destined one?"

Very annoyed.

Originally, all she needed to do was protect Qin Chu's safety; what Qin Chu and Adelina said or did had nothing to do with her. But she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"No, I strongly believe in fate."

Even when facing Little Saya, who was stronger than herself, Adelina did not abandon her pride and elegance, and corrected Little Saya's mistakes in her words:

"I was just unwilling to accept the arrangements of fate, so I made a small act of resistance."

The Pride Witch's lips curled into a defiant smile, "You seem to care a lot about this man?"

Little Saya scoffed dismissively, "My taste isn't that bad."

Tsk.

Her words are still as sharp as ever. Although I've gotten used to Little Saya's personality, hearing them still hurts.

"That's good. So whether he's the one destined for me or not is none of your business, right?"

Two jet-black eyes and two scarlet eyes stared at each other in mid-air, with arcs of electricity seemingly flickering between them.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Qin Chu seemed to be able to hear crackling sounds.

"Ahem, Miss Adelina, let's put the matter of the destined one aside for now, please continue." Qin Chu quickly interrupted the confrontation between the two.

He didn't want to see the two Witch fighting here; the royal city might be doomed.

Adelina then withdrew her gaze. "In short, I've detected the Secret Society and glimpsed the god Secret Society worship... Let's call Him the Star Devourer for now."

"I originally intended to destroy the Secret Society, since it Secret Society a powerful organization within the kingdom, but to me, it's not much stronger than a mosquito."

"However, just as I was about to make my move, I changed my mind. I showed up at their gathering and asked to join the Secret Society, becoming a Secret Society."

"Would they agree?" Qin Chu seriously doubted this.

The Pride Witch nodded happily. "Of course, we had a friendly exchange, and then they gladly approved my membership application."

"Although everyone had so much fun during the exchange that some people ended up with head injuries, these are just minor flaws and not worth worrying about."

Alright, Qin Chu already knew what kind of exchange Adelina had with the members of the Secret Society.

"What about the leader of the Secret Society? I've heard that they're a very mysterious figure, and no one even knows if they're male or female," Qin Chu continued to ask.

"Oh, you mean..." Adelina, somewhat troubled, as if she had forgotten the man's name. "That old man, after I joined the Secret Society, he no longer needed to exist, so I mercifully sent him to meet his god."

Very kind indeed.

"After joining the Secret Society, I learned their sacrificial rituals and their prayers."

A hint of pride and excitement flickered across Adelina's face. "After learning it, I finally made contact with the gods in the Void through a ritual, my destined enemy."

"He's really a powerful guy."

"It may have been more than a decade, but I still can't forget what the Star Devourer looked like when I first saw it. I could feel its power, which made my soul tremble."

"I can realize how insignificant I am in His presence."

"Then, I launched an attack on the gods."

Little Saya's eyes widened as well.

Qin Chu was also somewhat shocked.

This Witch truly lives up to her name of Pride; she fears neither heaven nor earth.

Little Saya, too, felt a warning, as if branded into her soul, at the moment of her birth: do not peer into the Void. The Dark Witch's nature is what it is; if she's not allowed to peer, she simply won't, it's no big deal.

But the Pride Witch is different. The more you forbid me from doing something, the more I want to do it. Not only will she go to the Void to find the gods, but once she finds them, she will also beat them.

Even Little Saya felt a sense of admiration for Adelina; at least compared to herself, Adelina's will and courage were absolutely admirable.

"And then what happened?"

"I failed. If I hadn't escaped quickly, my soul might have been Annihilation in the Void." Adelina didn't hide her defeat.

Fail?

No, this is by no means a failure. To deliberately provoke the gods and even return safely is already an unprecedented and enormous victory.

This is Adelina; she is not resigned to her fate.

Whether it's believers who oppose the gods, or the gods themselves.

She's like a playful child who's found the best toy and is endlessly entertained by it.

She didn't even care whether she could live or die; in fact, she thought it would be better if she died, because then she would have broken the trajectory that Fate had laid out for her.

Unfortunately, despite all these years of destroying Church formed by followers of Evil God and having at least two or three encounters with the divine every year for the past ten years or so, totaling probably forty or fifty times, none of it could kill Adelina.

This even fueled Adelina's fighting spirit.

The dozens of battles against the gods made Adriana stronger and stronger. Saya could sense that although they were both level 99, Adriana was closer to the realm of demigod than Iretta.

It was for this reason that the Secret Society had never been eradicated by Adelina; she wanted to see how the gods would react when they discovered that they had fooled their followers.

This time, Adelina finally broke her conflict with the gods and emerged from her secluded retreat.

Upon witnessing Qin Chu's confrontation with the will of the gods, and even his crushing of a god's head with a single hand, Adelina finally realized that Qin Chu was the one destined for her.

This was a secret that Adelina had kept hidden in her heart, and she had never told anyone.

At this moment, after pouring out all her experiences, Adelina felt a surge of relief in her chest.

She is a powerful, proud, and crazy woman.

This pride and madness also gave this woman a unique charm.

After a brief silence, Adelina spoke again, "Your Excellency Dark Witch, and Hero... I think you've already figured out my situation."

Both Qin Chu and Little Saya had their brows furrowed.

In fact, both of them sensed Adelina's strangeness when Adelina first appeared, but neither of them voiced their suspicions.

Adelina possesses a powerful, violent, and nearly destructive energy.

However, completely out of sync with her own energy, Adelina's soul was extremely weak.

Like a candle flickering in the wind, it could be extinguished at any moment.

Qin Chu even wondered how such a weakened soul could manipulate such terrifying energy.

Perhaps, what Adelina relied on was that pride and indomitable will.

Confronting the gods is not without its damage; each confrontation causes a certain degree of wear and tear on Adelina's soul. Over a decade of accumulated wear and tear has become something even Adelina could hardly bear.

But this Witch never showed fear, never retreated, and never yielded.

"My soul is no longer strong enough to sustain my charge against the gods again, and I could perish at any moment, but I have never regretted the path I chose."

Even if she might die at any moment, her stunningly beautiful face still radiated pride.

"And you, you are very much like me."
