Swallowing the Prideful Witch

What is the relationship between the Empire and the Earth Mother Church?

What kind of person is Wadsworth?

After posing several questions, rustling sounds began to rise from below, as some people wondered what Saint Monica meant by these questions.

Some intelligent people had already realized the truth, their faces pale and cold sweat pouring down their backs.

It's terrifying. They were only focused on expanding their influence while the Holy Church was weakened, but they didn't realize that they had silently walked to the edge of a cliff. One more step and they would be plunged into an Abyss.

As expected of Her Majesty Saint Monica, she is indeed far-sighted, having considered things that we hadn't thought of.

Seeing that some people were still confused, Saint Monica smiled leisurely and explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to elaborate on the Empire's strength and Wadsworth's ambitions."

"That is a force that requires the combined efforts of the Earth Mother Church and the Holy Church to contend with. Wadsworth has never been content with being just an emperor; he wants to grasp both imperial and divine power in his own hands and become the sole ruler of this Skyvault Continent, unmatched by anyone else."

"Now that the Holy Church has suffered a major upheaval and its power has plummeted, do you think Wadsworth, given his personality, would let this opportunity slip by?"

"There are actually people who want to take this opportunity to destroy the Holy Church? How stupid are you? Once the Holy Church is completely destroyed, Wadsworth will be the next to strike. You think you can fight against the most powerful empire on the Skyvault Continent with just the power of the Earth Mother Church? Dream on!"

The previously confused executives finally understood. Recalling Wadsworth's personality, they realized that the guy was absolutely capable of doing something like this.

The Earth Mother Church ultimately proved too weak in the face of the Empire's power.

"Therefore, the more the Holy Church falls into trouble, the less we should take advantage of their misfortune. On the contrary, we should do everything we can to help them. This is also helping our Earth Mother Church," Saint Monica said in a deep voice.

"Even so, why must the Holy Church be the primary authority? Our Earth Mother Church is clearly more powerful now, and should..."

Before the archbishop could finish speaking, Saint Monica interrupted impatiently, "Should? What a joke."

"Archbishop Kural, if that's really what you think, then how about we give you the position of papacy? You'll then be the leader jointly supported by the Holy Church and the Earth Mother Church, what an honorable position that would be."

"Of course, you'll also need to shoulder the pressure from Wadsworth?"

Archbishop Kural's face froze instantly. He finally understood that the Hero was nothing more than a scapegoat pushed out by Saint Monica.

Her Majesty Saint Monica merely wanted to use the Hero's reputation and honor to counter the pressure from Wadsworth.

Once the Hero has lost his usefulness, His Holiness will surely kick him aside and seize control of the Holy Church and the Earth Mother Church.

As expected of the supreme Patriarch Saint Monica, he is truly too intelligent and too amazing.

The Exeter Kingdom.

Grove of trees.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Little Saya's cheeks Crimson as she straightened her black dress and combed her silver hair.

Even now, Little Saya is still somewhat dazed. She doesn't understand why things have inexplicably turned out this way.

Although I felt a little strange, I didn't feel much disgust.

Unlike everything I had sensed through my own past experiences with another version of myself, even though I was already quite familiar with it, the feeling was completely different when I actually experienced it in person.

The long dress she wore and the stockings underneath were all woven from the power that emanated from that strange lump of flesh on Sage Mountain.

Those weren't ordinary clothes.

Although it feels no different from ordinary clothes, its defensive power is astonishing. As long as Little Saya activates it with Magic Power, it becomes the strongest shield in the world, and no one can destroy it without Little Saya's permission.

This time, with Little Saya's tacit approval, Qin Chu tore open a hole in it. However, once the Magic Power resumes its operation after the incident, it can be repaired to its most complete state immediately, leaving no trace of damage.

Seeing Qin Chu's body still convulsing beside her, Little Saya was speechless. This guy didn't even check his own body before acting recklessly?

The aftereffects of the previous battle with the demon god haven't even fully subsided yet.

The right hand was still bare white bone.

It's amazing that he was able to control his muscle spasms and excruciating pain just now.

After tidying everything up, Little Saya stood up straight again. However, the stinging pain made Little Saya frown as soon as she took a step. She wanted to go over and help Qin Chu up, but then she remembered how this despicable guy had bullied her, and she felt a surge of displeasure. With a snort, she waved her hand, and dark Magic Power condensed into a long whip in mid-air, wrapping around Qin Chu's body.

"Can't you be a little gentler?" Qin Chu sighed helplessly.

In order to catch up with Little Saya, he had forcibly suppressed his injuries, which made his already weakened body even more exhausted. After a round of battle, his injuries were aggravated. Only after it was completely over did Qin Chu realize how bad his physical condition was. Now he had no strength left at all. Otherwise, with Qin Chu's skills, how could it have ended so easily? He wouldn't be done until Little Saya begged for mercy.

Little Saya was already feeling a bit awkward, and hearing this only made her more annoyed. "Gentle? I didn't see you being gentle to me just now."

Qin Chu's expression suddenly froze. The next second, Little Saya took off into the air, and Qin Chu's body immediately swayed in the night sky.

It looks like a big kite.

Inside the inn, there was also the Pride Witch Adelina waiting for him... However, Qin Chu felt that given his current state, subduing the Witch would probably be quite difficult.

Chapter 4 is here. Thank you very much for the reward of 10,000 points. It should have been added to the post, but I really can't write it down. I'll just owe it to you now, embarrassing.

Chapter 459 Devouring the Pride Witch

(Requesting monthly votes)

His body was floating around in mid-air, and he had to worry from time to time about accidentally bumping into the tree trunks below. He didn't care at all that he was still a poor patient. Qin Chu felt like his body was about to fall apart from all the tossing and turning.

Little Saya is very angry now.

This made Qin Chu inwardly complain. Just a moment ago, after struggling briefly, her body had been limp and she was moaning softly. Now that it's over, she's turning her back on him?

Saya is so much better. If Saya were here, she definitely wouldn't act like this; she would definitely be gentle and kind.

Of course, Qin Chu didn't dare say these words. What Little Saya was most afraid of was being compared to Big Saya, and ultimately being told that she was inferior to Big Saya... If Qin Chu said these words, he might not be hanging in mid-air, but rather being thrown to the ground and dragged away.

After a short while, Little Saya finally sighed, and with a flick of her hand, the long whip formed from dark Magic Power naturally retracted, carrying Qin Chu's body into the air.

Her slender arms gently stretched out and embraced Qin Chu's body. Perhaps because she was too shy, Little Saya didn't utter a single word throughout the entire process.

Qin Chu knew Little Saya's personality very well and would never say anything inappropriate at this time, otherwise Little Saya would get angry and he would be thrown down again.

A protective shield formed by Magic Power floated around him, blocking the cold night wind that was blowing in his face, and Qin Chu felt much warmer.

Little Saya's cheeks were still a little red. Only when the royal city appeared in front of her again did Little Saya slow down slightly. "After you go back, go find Adelina."

"Huh?" Qin Chu was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Little Saya would say that.

After all, Little Saya is actually quite possessive.

"Pride Authority are still very important to you, aren't they?" Little Saya's gaze unconsciously swept across the boundless starry sky above.

Hidden within that darkness are many beings beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Little Saya knew all too well how terrifying the power of those beings was. Even if Qin Chu had the will to fight against the Void Gods, his strength was ultimately too weak.

Previously, it was merely a wisp of will descended from a Void deity, yet it had already severely injured Qin Chu.

If it were the true form of a deity from the Void descending, Qin Chu's physical body and soul would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.

After a brief pause, Little Saya couldn't help but speak again, "Of course, I'm not saying you have to do 'that' with Adelina, I mean... there must be other ways, right?"

"If there really is no other choice, then..."

Little Saya was extremely frustrated that she had to push the man she had just been enjoying herself into the arms of another woman.

The black skirt fluttered in the night sky.

Her silver hair shimmered under the moonlight, some strands falling onto Qin Chu's face, causing a slight itch.

You can still smell the alluring fragrance emanating from Little Saya.

Little Saya landed just above the hotel, her sexy black high-heeled boots making no sound as she stepped on the ground, as if Little Saya were floating.

Without saying anything more, Little Saya went straight to her room.

Hearing the commotion, Athena poked her head out to check the situation. When she saw Little Saya and Qin Chu's appearance, she immediately understood. A sly smile appeared on her pretty face, and then she was shoved back by the embarrassed Little Saya.

Qin Chu shook his head and pushed open the door to his bedroom.

As soon as I stepped inside, my breath hitched slightly.

A tall and beautiful figure leaned quietly against the windowsill; it was none other than the Pride Witch Adelina. Her eyes were fixed on the outside world, even though the royal city was now in ruins, with only broken walls and rubble remaining.

But for Adelina, it was still the most beautiful scenery.

That figure remained elegant and dignified.

Her legs, encased in thick pantyhose, rested gently on the windowsill, her two small, pale hands clasped together on her lower abdomen.

Her jet-black hair swayed gently in the night breeze.

However, his chest no longer rose and fell.

That heart had stopped beating.

The nostrils had stopped breathing.

A translucent phantom floated gently in mid-air; it was Adelina's soul, which was about to dissipate.

That soul was even weaker than Antia's when Qin Chu first met her, and even more frail than Phil had already gone mad and was seriously injured at the time.

Adelina's physical body is dead.

Just as the Pride Witch herself said, she had reached her limit.

Both body and soul are sustained by a powerful will.

Adelina was not afraid of death. Her life over the past thousand years had been extraordinary enough, and she had lived a more exciting life than almost anyone else in the world.

But, dying so peacefully is still somewhat regrettable.

Adelina wished she could launch one last charge into the Void and die a heroic death in the battle against the gods, but alas, her body and soul could no longer hold on.

It was too late for him to transfer his Pride Authority to Qin Chu.

The soul, floating in mid-air and seemingly on the verge of dissipating at any moment, appeared to have sensed Qin Chu's presence.

That equally beautiful soul turned around, looked at Qin Chu's figure, and actually revealed a slight smile, "Tsk, finally back."

"Judging from your expression, you must have successfully persuaded that girl, Saya Nicholas, to come back. Congratulations..."

Immediately, a hint of smugness appeared on her face. "However, you'll never have the chance to taste this queen again. Go and regret it by yourself."

Adelina's voice has become increasingly faint.

In the end, it was almost completely inaudible.

In the short time it took to say those few words, the Pride Witch's soul weakened further, and she appeared and disappeared in mid-air, only a blurry outline could be seen.

Everything seemed beyond saving; even Ileta, the substitute Death God who controlled souls, was probably powerless to change the situation.

After all, Ileta is only a substitute Death God, not the real Death God.

Athena Ileta, who had just died, could be revived, but even Ileta couldn't help a soul that had weakened and dissipated due to long-term wear and tear. Moreover, it was probably too late to summon Ileta now.

Even if Ileta could appear before her in the shortest amount of time, the soul of Adelina might dissipate in just a few seconds.

"Perhaps, this is my Fate..."

The faint sound gradually faded away.

Fate...

These two words seemed to have some kind of stimulating effect on Qin Chu.

Qin Chu's gaze suddenly turned bloodshot, like that of a wild beast. "Adelina, I won't let you die like this..."

"Since we're struggling in the Destiny's Shackles, let's struggle together until the very end."

Despite his muscles still spasming and him walking with a limp, Qin Chu suddenly took a step forward and opened his mouth.

"Gluttony!"

Call!

Qin Chu's mouth seemed to turn into a giant vortex.

An astonishing allure emanated from Qin Chu's mouth.

Just as Adelina's soul was about to dissipate, it was instantly swallowed by the vortex. Adelina's soul was rapidly sinking, being carried by the Gluttony Divinity to a mysterious area.

Within this very region dwell the Gluttony Divinity, the Sin of Desire Divinity, the Decomposition Divinity, the Water God's Authority, and the Sapling...

Even with Adelina's extensive knowledge, she couldn't help but be astonished at this moment. What was going on? Had Qin Chu devoured her soul?

Just as Adelina was surprised, the Sapling next to her suddenly moved. A branch with tender green leaves quickly extended over, and several leaves completely enveloped Adelina.

Although only a tattered and dying soul remained, Adelina still instinctively tried to struggle. But soon, Adelina's soul discovered a mysterious energy full of life force, which was infused into her soul.
