Useless, Useless, Useless!
The right arm, now just bone, is recovering quite well. The upper arm has recovered about halfway, and at this rate, it will take at most another week for the entire arm to fully recover.
The chaotic Magic Power and Battle Qi within his body have been somewhat sorted out, and are no longer as mixed as before.
My body regained some strength, and the spasms in my muscles and skin gradually calmed down. My brain also stopped experiencing occasional sharp pains as before.
Qin Chu was quite satisfied that the body had recovered to this extent in just one night.
However, it seems that this time it will be impossible to provide energy to the Goddess of Holy Light.
Qin Chu tried to pull the skeletal right hand out from between the two soft flaps... To be honest, the feeling was very strange. Normally, there shouldn't be any feeling when there's only a bone left, but in reality, the feeling was even stronger than when the flesh and skin were intact.
The slightest movement immediately woke the extremely sensitive Sylph. She rubbed her still sleepy eyes, her golden hair casually spread across her chest and shoulders. Her dazed appearance was different from her usual sexy self; instead, it added a touch of cuteness.
As her eyes gradually cleared, Sylph immediately got out of bed, took out a maid outfit from her storage ring, changed into it, and began to help Qin Chu get dressed.
Athena, who was standing nearby, was also awakened by the noise of the two. After tidying everything up, the three of them left the room. Just as they reached the door, they saw Little Saya walking over from the other side.
Her crimson eyes swept over the three of them, making no attempt to hide her disdain for Qin Chu.
Bah! The description of him as a lust-obsessed person is actually quite fitting.
Even though I was so exhausted yesterday that I couldn't move, I still made Sylph and Athena serve me in bed together. How shameless!
Sooner or later, I'll make sure you lose your life in bed.
Qin Chu felt wronged. He said that nothing really happened between him, Sylph, and Athena last night; they just lay quietly together all night.
"Edson's here, he's downstairs." With a snort, Little Saya scurried into her room.
It was as if Qin Chu was a filthy and unclean entity, and even just exchanging a few words with Qin Chu could lead to one's own corruption.
They arrived quite quickly; they're a very intelligent person.
Qin Chu smiled slightly and, accompanied by Athena and Sylph, headed downstairs.
Upon hearing footsteps, Edson, who was sitting in the hall, immediately stood up straight, his face full of smiles, with Princesses Milo, Fini, Selma, and Suna beside him.
The four princesses had clearly been meticulously dressed up, and at first glance, they looked as radiant as jewels.
After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down. Edson knew that Qin Chu needed to rest, so he didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "Your Hero, thanks to your help, although the kingdom suffered considerable losses, there were ultimately no major casualties."
"On behalf of the millions of people of the kingdom, I thank you for your contributions."
"In return, I hope to build a church of the Holy Church within the kingdom, funded by the kingdom's finances."
"At the same time, the Holy Church will be the only legal Church in the entire kingdom, and all Church Holy Church be deemed illegal."
"All income and donations received by the Holy Church will be sent to the Holy See headquarters."
Qin Chu smiled. This was exactly the effect he wanted. In an instant, the Goddess of Holy Light gained millions more believers.
Having experienced the terror of the previous night, these people are at the height of their faith, and this faith can greatly aid in the restoration of the Goddess of Holy Light.
"Furthermore, I wish to bestow upon the Hero the title of Prince of the Kingdom. What is your opinion?"
"It would be my honor." Qin Chu nodded slightly, his smile unchanged. "Your Majesty Edson, after the Kingdom Church is completed, I would like you to serve as its honorary archbishop. What do you say?"
Edson smiled too, "As a devout follower of the goddess, this is my greatest honor."
Talking to intelligent people is simple. Whether they are princes of the kingdom or archbishops of the Holy Church, they are just empty titles to Qin Chu and Edson.
But this empty title also symbolizes the connection between the two parties.
With the Exeter Kingdom now a supporter of Qin Chu, Edson also gained the backing of the Holy Church.
This is a true win-win situation.
On the other side.
Demon King's Castle.
Inside the secret chamber, the Demon King Nag let out a long breath, his brows furrowed.
All three puppets are dead.
He could sense that the connection with the three puppets had been severed.
This result surprised him somewhat.
When he snatched Daiaboliq's corpse from the Second-Generation Hero, he sensed Qin Chu's strength. Although it was not bad, it was as weak as an ant in front of him.
Eileen was already quite strong, but after absorbing her younger sister's blood, her strength increased dramatically, making her no less formidable than established masters like Zimmerman.
The three puppets, while slightly weaker than the original Daiaboliq, still possessed combat power approaching level ninety.
In the Demon King Nag's calculations, Eileen, along with her three puppets, would easily capture Qin Chu; he never imagined the outcome would be like this.
It seems there was a misjudgment of the Hero's strength; his rate of increase is simply outrageous. Demon King Nag did issue orders to gather information about the Hero, but unfortunately, Magic Creature have never been particularly attentive to intelligence gathering.
Despite having several sons assigned to him, the response was often the same. "Hero? He's nothing special. I could kill him with one hand."
"That guy seems to be even more talented than you?" A strange smile appeared on the face of Demon King Nag, deliberately provoking the other guy in his mind, which was a pretty good way to relax in his boring life.
"Foolish." Sure enough, another voice soon came from the Demon King Nag: "I just didn't want to appear too flamboyant, so I've been suppressing my strength. Otherwise, my strength would definitely be increasing faster than his."
Even though they're already experts at this level, this inexplicable competitive spirit remains intense.
"In short, we've failed this time. Shall we take matters into our own hands?" Demon King Nag raised an eyebrow and said in a gloomy voice.
"You can give it a try!"
Chapter Four is here, and Chapter Five will be released around 9 PM.
Chapter 463 Waste, Waste, Waste! (For the sake of flowing water)
(Bonus chapter for Ah Liu's donation.)
Give it a try?
The Demon King Nag grinned, revealing a somewhat twisted smile.
To be honest, being trapped in this damned secret room for so long wasn't a pleasant experience. He was the Demon King, after all, and his harem was filled with a huge group of queens— Succubus, Demon Wolf, Winged Folk, Slime, Minotaur... you name it, he had it all, satisfying every taste.
He's rather benevolent.
Their hobbies are also quite diverse.
But ever since that damned bastard Jello's soul entered his body, it brought with it his terrible powers.
This guy hadn't told me at all that there was such a negative effect. Luckily, what happened before wouldn't be taken into account, otherwise his powerful strength would probably have been completely wiped out.
However, the mighty Demon King then began to live a life of asceticism.
Of all the Magic Creature who have existed for thousands of years and have produced so many Demon Kings, none have ever been as wretched as him.
The secret chamber became his bedroom, and he has only left it twice so far: once when the Void Evil God descended upon the Imperial City of the Orwell Empire, and once when he retrieved his eldest son's body.
Both times, he went out briefly and quickly returned to the secret room.
This is no ordinary secret room. From the ceiling to the walls to the floor, the entire room is forged from special materials, and magical runes are found in almost every corner. The room itself is a powerful magic circle that can isolate one's aura.
He's the Demon King, how could he tolerate being provoked like this by Jello?
At that moment, the Demon King Nag lifted one leg and stepped over the threshold.
The Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu was quite strong, but the Demon King Nag was confident that he could easily capture Qin Chu alive if he personally took action.
The moment one foot was extended, a strange feeling of being watched washed over him.
The Demon King's pupils suddenly contracted, and after a brief moment of hesitation, he abruptly retracted his right foot. "I suddenly remembered that there's something important I haven't finished..."
"By the way, you mentioned that woman, Saya Nicholas. She's been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?" Demon King Nag abruptly changed the subject.
Damn it.
Perhaps it was because of the two previous times I left the secret room that the feeling of being spied on came even more quickly this time.
It was as if the Demon King Nag could feel some kind of eerie gaze sweeping over his body. In that instant, an inexplicable fear even made the Demon King Nag tremble all over.
He's the Demon King, after all.
It's hard to imagine that there could be something in this world that could frighten me to this extent.
But he knew that it was an existence he could not contend with.
Qin Chu and his party did not stay in the kingdom for very long.
Although the arrival of the Evil God's will did not cause many casualties, the buildings within the kingdom suffered severe damage and will require some time to rebuild.
Edson would certainly be very busy during this time, Qin Chu did not want to add to Edson's burden at this time. He declined Edson's invitation to the farewell banquet, and simply said goodbye to Milo, Fini, Selma and others before leaving the Exeter Kingdom.
Although the princesses all had somewhat strange expressions when they left, especially Milo, who bit her lip and told him that she would be going to the Imperial City the Orwell Empire... Qin Chu didn't think much of it and left after expressing his welcome.
Upon returning to the palace, Angelica saw the injury on Qin Chu's arm, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It must be said that Angelica was absolutely the most professional maid, serving Qin Chu so comfortably and forcing Qin Chu to rest and recuperate, strictly forbidding Qin Chu from doing anything else.
With so many outstanding girls in the palace, Qin Chu could easily rest for a few days without any problem.
Meanwhile, Athena's side has already begun to take action.
The area where Magic Creature territory and human territory meet.
During this long period of time, Rosweisse has been active here.
Her face looked extremely pale.
To avoid being discovered, Rosweisse rarely appeared in areas frequented by humans, knowing full well that Qin Chu would not let her go once he learned of her whereabouts.
When dealing with enemies, one must completely eliminate them to feel at ease.
However, intelligence remains extremely important, so Rosweisse will arrange for Aili, who has long since died and turned into a puppet, to infiltrate areas inhabited by humans after disguising herself and hiding her tracks, in order to gather information.
Especially information concerning the Orwell Empire, the Holy Church, and the Hero Qin Chu.
The news she received, however, Wrath Rosweisse.
That shameless bastard Qin Chu brazenly purged his loyal followers from within the Holy Church, killing nine powerful figures and thousands of clergy, before forcibly seizing the position of Pope.
Damn it... that spot is hers, it's hers.
She should have been sitting in that position, becoming the first female pope in the Holy Church's thousands of years of history, enjoying the worship of all people—what an honor that would have been! But now, all the glory that belonged to her has been shamelessly stolen by Qin Chu.
Thinking of this, the intense Wrath and jealousy in Rosweisse's chest transformed into a thick venom of resentment; she wished she could skin Qin Chu alive, tear him apart, and slice him into a thousand pieces.
Worse still, her reputation has been completely ruined by Qin Chu.
Qin Chu arranged for people to spread the word that Rosweisse had completely degenerated into a follower of Evil God, filthy and worse than a pig or a dog, and that she had killed the previous saintess and Pope Augustus. Her wanted posters were plastered all over the areas where humans lived.
For a woman like Rosweisse, who was extremely concerned about her image and pursued perfection, the contrast between Qin Chu enjoying the Pope's respect and her own tarnished reputation, leaving her to eke out a living like a filthy rat in a dark corner, made Rosweisse feel even more miserable.
Just then, Rosweisse sensed fluctuations in the Message Magic.
Rosweisse knew who it was: Athena.
Since their initial contact, Sylph seemed to realize that she couldn't get any useful information from her, and stopped contacting her after a few attempts.
Because Ekaterina herself was not a magician, she needed a magic scroll to use Message Magic, which made it inconvenient for her to contact herself, and the number of times she could do so was very limited.
Only Athena regularly communicates with him through Message Magic.
At first, Rosweisse didn't trust Athena either, after all, she had suddenly fallen from heaven to hell. Although it seemed that Athena and Ekaterina were still on her side and working hard to revive Jello, Rosweisse subconsciously suspected everything, as if all her companions and teammates were traitors.
However, after Athena hid the two fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment in a cave outside the Imperial City of the Orwell Empire, Rosweisse arranged for Aili to retrieve them without encountering any tracking or trouble, Rosweisse finally began to trust Athena a little more.
Even the two precious fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment were given to her directly, it seems Athena truly wants to resurrect Jello.
Regarding the fact that Sylph had become a mole, Athena explained why Ekaterina and Athena were still able to stay by Qin Chu's side: because they also had some dirt on Sylph. If Sylph dared to speak out, they would all perish together, and no one would get away with it.
It was under this threat that Sylph dared not reveal Athena and Ekaterina's situation to Qin Chu.
However, this balance is very delicate, and it could be broken with the slightest carelessness. At that time, the fate of Athena and Ekaterina is predictable. Given Qin Chu's ruthless nature, he would never let these two women live.
Of course, Rosweisse didn't care whether they lived or died.
As long as she can provide some help while she's still alive, that's fine. Anyway, when Jello is resurrected, she'll find a way to kill Athena and Ekaterina.
Only she can stay by Jello's side.
A few thoughts flashed through her mind, and Rosweisse composed herself before pressing her fingers to her ears. Sure enough, Athena's voice immediately rang in her ears.
