Athena's Final Treatment (3)
The remaining eight threads sensed the abnormality and instantly stopped eroding Sylph. In the next instant, four of the eight threads split off, their spiral heads wriggling towards Qin Chu's consciousness.
Unseen, eerie sounds echoed all around.
Qin Chu's consciousness was fluctuating slightly.
However, although these threads were much stronger than before, they still posed far less pressure on Qin Chu compared to the statue within Athena's soul, and were not enough to stop Qin Chu's progress.
As four silk threads, like slender chains, snaked through the air, piercing towards him from all four directions simultaneously, Qin Chu's consciousness trembled slightly for a moment. The next second, a pitch-black phantom suddenly appeared.
The shadowy figure was indescribable.
It resembles a giant stomach, covered with numerous dense folds.
Its entire body reeked of a thick stench of blood and decay.
Crawling Hunger.
The special ability granted by the Gluttony Divinity is like a gluttonous beast that can never be full, capable of devouring everything.
The moment this terrifying stomach appeared, the four threads seemed to sense their nemesis. Their bodies, which had been extending like venomous snakes, instantly coiled together, leaving only their heads exposed, and emitted strange, frightening hissing sounds.
These threads didn't even have the courage to rush up directly and confront this mysterious stomach.
Go ahead.
A faint fluctuation emanated from Qin Chu's consciousness.
The next instant, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the massive stomach, like its enormous mouth, and the gray-black phantom rushed forward with a whoosh.
In its panic, the thread rapidly rose higher, attempting to escape.
But an astonishing attraction emanated from the stomach, and the silk thread not only failed to rise but continued to descend, getting closer and closer to the gaping maw below, until it was finally swallowed whole by the stomach.
Sharp teeth tore at the eerie threads, accompanied by strange cracking sounds, until the threads snapped inch by inch. Then, with the grotesque writhing of the phantom, the entire thread was completely crushed and absorbed.
However, such a small thing was clearly not enough to satisfy the stomach's appetite, and after a brief stay, the stomach immediately pounced on its next target.
The remaining threads all abandoned their plan to erode Sylph's soul, detaching themselves from Sylph soul and instead of directly attacking the terrifying stomach, they rushed towards Qin Chu at top speed.
They seemed to believe that as long as they could manipulate Qin Chu's consciousness and control Qin Chu soul, the pressure from the terrifying stomach would naturally disappear.
Considering these threads aren't exactly intelligent, this is a pretty good choice; they even know to capture the leader first.
However, the premise of "capture the king first" is... that you can actually capture the king.
Just as a thread was about to reach Qin Chu, a wisp of light silently streaked past.
Decomposition Divinity.
The thread froze in place for a moment, then disintegrated, shrank, and finally dissipated as a wisp of pure energy.
These strange threads were directly disintegrated into their most primordial form.
The next second, Qin Chu's consciousness seemed to open his arms, as if he were chanting a spell for Counter-Prophecy Art.
God said, "Evil shall not move."
In reality, Qin Chu attempted to use an evil incantation that shouldn't exist, trying to erase all the threads at once.
But it was clear that he couldn't do that with his current strength, so he had to settle for second best. He didn't want to eliminate all the threads directly, but only to suppress or even just restrict their movement.
After the incantation was changed, the Counter-Prophecy Art immediately began to take effect.
Clearly, these strange threads possess a certain degree of ability to counteract Counter-Prophecy Art; they can still move, but their speed is greatly restricted.
What was originally lightning-fast speed now seemed to have sunk into quagmire, becoming exceptionally difficult.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Chu's consciousness silently drifted over, dodging the three threads that were about to surround him.
Behind it, the writhing stomach took the opportunity to open its gaping maw, swallowing three threads in succession.
The effect of the Counter-Prophecy Art has worn off.
The remaining four threads clearly realized they lacked the power to fight this enemy. In the next instant, the four threads flew off in different directions, intending to lie in wait in Sylph's Soul World and then erode her after Qin Chu's consciousness left.
After all, Qin Chu's consciousness couldn't stay here forever.
Their reaction was quick, but Qin Chu's was even faster.
The moment the effect of the previous incantation of the Counter-Prophecy Art wore off, Qin Chu had already begun preparing the next incantation.
"God said, evil cannot escape."
Just ahead of the four silk threads' escape route, an invisible wall suddenly rose up, blocking their escape path.
"God said, 'You cannot tell directions.'"
The four threads transformed into headless flies, wriggling haphazardly near the invisible wall. They desperately wanted to escape the danger but were powerless to do anything.
Two more threads were swallowed by the stomach.
The rest is simple: the effect of the Counter-Prophecy Art has worn off, but only two targets remain.
Qin Chu's consciousness chased one of the threads, while his stomach chased the other. Before long, the last two threads also completely disappeared.
In Sylph's Soul World, all traces left by the Evil God were completely wiped away at this time.
The dark sky gradually brightened, like the rising sun illuminating the earth, dispelling the surrounding gloom and adding a touch of brilliance to the world.
The dark red, gelatinous substance in the blood pool seemed to have transformed into fertile soil, and large clumps of flowers began to bloom within it.
From the cracks in the parched ground, clusters of clear water gushed forth, and tiny blades of grass gradually sprouted, adding a touch of color to the earth.
Not long after, the area Qin Chu could perceive had completely transformed into a lush, green grassland.
The original stench transformed into a unique earthy smell, along with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
This is a pure Soul World, untouched by filth.
Qin Chu's consciousness swelled slightly, then quickly contracted again, as if he were laughing.
He was also curious, wondering what was so special about Sylph. Her soul wasn't as resilient or powerful as Athena's, so why was she being watched so intently by the Evil God?
This curiosity didn't last long. Although Sylph's soul no longer resisted her own consciousness, staying in someone else's Soul World for too long wasn't a good thing, and Qin Chu's consciousness detached from that world.
He was somewhat tired, even more tired than before he began preparing.
After all, although the body has recovered somewhat, it has not yet fully recovered.
The commotion of her retreat also woke Sylph.
Looking at the beautiful maid again, her eyes were even brighter than before, her long eyelashes fluttered, and joy was clearly evident in her pupils. Her skin also seemed to have become more delicate and supple.
She could feel an unprecedented comfort, comparable to the pleasure she had just experienced with her master.
The shackles that had been entangled in my soul and disturbed my consciousness were finally cleansed by my master. From this day forward, I will no longer have to worry about turning into those ugly monsters.
The deep-seated joy I felt was indescribable.
Unable to suppress her excitement, Sylph cheered and threw herself into Qin Chu's arms, planting a firm kiss on Qin Chu cheek with her pink lips.
"Thank you, my master."
This thank you was absolutely heartfelt.
Reflecting on everything that had happened between her and Qin Chu, Sylph never imagined that their relationship would ultimately turn out this way.
Mingming initially wanted to kill Qin Chu. At first, he was only forced to accept Qin Chu's treatment because he was Evil God's Corruption and feared death. His heart was filled with struggle, pain, torment, and even despair.
At that time, deep down, all I felt for was Jello.
But what exactly was the reason, and when did it begin, that she no longer felt disgusted by Qin Chu 'Qin Chu touch, no longer rejected his pleasures, and that the struggles and pain deep within her heart were gradually replaced by enjoyment, and even some desires began to emerge?
Even Jello's shadow is becoming increasingly faint.
After learning from Athena what was imprinted on the fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, the last trace of feeling she had for Jello vanished completely.
She couldn't even remember what Jello looked like.
Even if that man reappeared in front of her, she wouldn't be moved in the slightest.
At this moment, only one person remained in Sylph's heart: her master.
Although the shackles on her body had disappeared, a new will had been imprinted in Sylph's heart: from now on, her life would be lived only for her master.
Sylph's persistent entanglement seemed to awaken Qin Chu again. Her soft body writhed and rubbed against him wantonly in his arms, making it easy for things to escalate accidentally.
Normally, Qin Chu would never refuse.
But now is not the time.
He lightly patted Sylph's buttocks in an annoyed tone. "Alright, your problem is solved, but Athena isn't here yet. Go and call Athena up."
Tsk.
What a greedy owner! He's barely finished eating me, and he's already looking to enjoy another dish?
Sylph thought to herself.
Sylph merely gave Qin Chu a seductive glance, then stepped out of his Qin Chu, straightened her clothes, and headed for the door.
With her slender, long legs just taking a step, right before Qin Chu's eyes, Sylph's body left afterimages on the ground, appearing in front of the door in an instant. Then, caught off guard, her little head slammed into the door with a thud.
A dent had even appeared on the metal door.
Sylph let out a soft moan, pressed her hands to her forehead, and squatted down on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears.
It hurts so much.

Chapter 471 Athena's Final Healing (3)
She accidentally bumped into the iron gate, and Sylph felt like a bump was about to swell up on her head. Her head was spinning, and she squatted on the ground.
It hurts so much.
She's not a defensive type of warrior like Benson the Shieldbearer, who's tough and resilient.
Qin Chu really liked this pose on girls; it made the curves of their hips and thighs look even more alluring.
However, what Qin Chu. Sylph clearly hadn't activated any magic or Battle Qi; what she did just now was simply a subconscious attempt to walk normally.
The speed was unexpectedly fast.
Grasping his chin, Qin Chu pondered in his mind.
Not every believer wants Evil God.
Those who are targeted by Evil God all possess exceptional talent.
For example, Athena's most powerful soul, Karthus, was also a very skilled warrior, and was easily swayed by darkness.
Even if you prepare enough offerings and pray fervently to the Evil God, if you don't have anything particularly outstanding or special about you, the Evil God won't even bother with you.
Waste of time.
As for Sylph, apart from being of elven blood, she doesn't seem to have anything else that makes her more outstanding Karthus, so she shouldn't have received more attention from the Evil God than Karthus.
But now it seems that after the threads in her soul have been completely cleared away, Sylph's true talents are gradually being revealed.
This astonishing speed may well be one of Sylph's talents.
Once Sylph has fully accepted and adapted to her talents, she will undoubtedly become even stronger.
Sylph was still a little dazed. She rubbed her forehead, quite dissatisfied that Qin Chu was still lying in bed and didn't even bother to come and help her up. She pouted, stood up from the ground, snorted, and then opened the dented iron door and went out.
Throughout the journey, I was extremely careful and desperately trying to control my legs, afraid that I might accidentally bump into the wall again.
Death, of course, wouldn't be caused by a direct collision.
But it's really embarrassing, okay?
Qin Chu looked out the window; the Faith River was still flowing in mid-air, constantly being swallowed by the vortex.
Although a long time has passed, this vortex shows no sign of closing.
Moreover, Qin Chu could still clearly feel the intense fluctuations from the vortex.
It seems the battle between the Goddess of Holy Light and the seven ugly monsters in the Void won't end so easily anytime soon.
Qin Chu wanted to seize this opportunity to clean up all the statues inside Athena's body. He could sense that there must be some kind of connection between those statues and the Evil God in the Void.
Once the Seven Uglies of the Void are ready, they could very well link their own will with the statue, creating a scenario similar to the Elf King's confrontation with the Seven Uglies of the Void's will.
The injuries sustained that time have not yet healed, and Qin Chu does not want to go through that again.
