The Sinister Little Goddess of Holy Light (4)

Having figured this out, Qin Chu no longer hesitated and hugged the Goddess of Holy Light tightly.

By the way, where did the Goddess of Holy Light learn that phrase? No wonder she's the goddess I worship.

"And don't let your mind wander."

Finally, the Goddess of Holy Light gave Qin Chu a warning.

Qin Chu rolled his eyes; he wasn't that much of a beast.

The next instant, Qin Chu could feel the power within his body surging like a river, beginning to be absorbed by the Goddess of Holy Light.

The speed wasn't slow, but it was still much slower than being instantly drained like before.

Time cannot be perceived in the Void, and Qin Chu had no idea how much time had passed; it seemed to be a very long period of time.

After a long while, the last bit of energy in Qin Chu's body was completely squeezed out, and the Goddess of Holy Light was clearly quite satisfied with her gains this time.

But Qin Chu felt the complete opposite; he felt his energy being drained away little by little, and the sensation was unpleasant.

Honestly, when you're being drained bit by bit, you don't even have the luxury of letting your imagination run wild, right?

Hey yo!

The Goddess of Holy Light uttered a cute sound, stood up from Qin Chu's embrace, glanced at Qin Chu lying on the ground, his body still convulsing, and a smile appeared on her lips.

This harvest is almost double that of the previous one, which is quite good.

"Hey, is it really that serious? You're a grown man, after all," the Goddess of Holy Light muttered irritably.

"Even the strongest man couldn't withstand this kind of torment, okay?" Qin Chu rolled his eyes in annoyance, glancing at the Goddess of Holy Light: "Why haven't you grown bigger yet?"

Is it still so small?

So all my energy was just absorbed for nothing and was completely useless?

"It's not that easy."

"Your tiny bit of energy is nothing compared to what I've accumulated over millions of years, okay? Try to gather more energy next time." The Goddess of Holy Light smiled, her radiant smile making her seem like a truly playful and adorable girl.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Can you take me back now?" Qin Chu rolled his eyes. It was only in front of the Little Goddess of Holy Light that Qin Chu would act like this.

If it were the fully realized Goddess of Holy Light, her elegance, nobility, and power would subconsciously make Qin Chu serious.

The little goddess giggled and grabbed Qin Chu by the collar.

Despite being small in stature, she possessed astonishing strength, lifting Qin Chu's body with complete ease and tossing Qin Chu away with a casual flick of her wrist.

The next moment.

Qin Chu emerged from the whirlpool and returned to his room, swaying slightly and nearly falling.

The vortex in front of them finally disappeared at that moment.

Inside his body, the Evil God's Heart began to beat violently, replenishing Qin Chu's energy.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Qin Chu quickly adapted to his current weakness, straightened up, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went out.

The women inside the palace were already used to Qin Chu's frequent disappearances for days without explanation and were not too surprised.

When Qin Chu arrived downstairs, he found that quite a few people had gathered in the lobby.

Little Saya were there, as were Athena, Heloise, and Ieta, and Angelica was busy in the hall.

Sylph, Ekaterina, Norma, Violet, Antasia, and Antia were nowhere to be seen.

"Master, you're back." Angelica smiled sweetly when she saw Qin Chu appear.

Qin Chu nodded. "How long has it been this time?"

Six days.

Phew, as expected, this time it took a little longer. After all, I spent a long time communicating with the Little Goddess of Holy Light in the Void, and the energy absorption time was also longer than before.

"What about the others?"

"They've all been borrowed by Veronica. The Holy Church needs a lot of manpower right now, and the only ones who can keep things in order are Veronica and Ampton, which is obviously not enough. So Veronica often borrows people from here," Angelica explained, glancing at the two Saya.

Violet is a saintess of the Storm Temple, Antia has commanded an army, and Antasia is a princess of the Ice Grand Duchy; all of them have management experience and can provide a lot of help at this time.

As for the others, they were probably just hired thugs in the past.

Originally, it was supposed to be Big Saya who went there.

However, this young lady hid in the palace and refused to go out.

There was no way around it; as soon as she went to the Holy Church, Veronica and Ampton would present her with all sorts of funding application forms, hoping that Saya would approve them.

This was an extremely difficult situation for Big Saya, who always only took in and never gave out.

Therefore, Big Saya always tried to hide as much as possible, and would only reluctantly show up when he absolutely had no choice but to approve a few smaller sums of money.

As for the gap in rebuilding the Holy Church, Saya gave Veronica a terrible... good idea.

The original followers of the Holy Church were mainly nobles, as well as some individuals who, although lacking noble titles, possessed considerable power or were wealthy merchants.

Since the internal strife within the Holy Church, its power has been greatly diminished.

A large number of believers switched their allegiance to the Earth Mother Church Cult, with wealthy nobles and astute merchants being the quickest to react.

But now, the Church of the Earth Mother Church and the Holy Church are about to merge, with the Holy Church taking the lead, which directly renders their betrayal meaningless.

The Pope of the Holy Church is none other than the Hero Qin Chu, and this guy holds a grudge.

Moreover, Qin Chu and Wadsworth are very close.

These nobles have recently been plotting to rebel against Wadsworth's tyranny, and if Qin Chu sides with Wadsworth, the situation will be very bad.

That's why Veronica received a large amount of donations immediately after she spread the word. They didn't ask Qin Chu for help; as long as Qin Chu could remain neutral, it would be a huge benefit to them.

The costs of rebuilding the Holy Church were covered in this way, and the wealth in Saya's storage ring remained almost untouched.

Despite Big Saya's constant winks at Angelica obediently confessed everything to her master.

After hearing this, Qin Chu was speechless. He rubbed his forehead and glanced at Big Saya: "What do you need so much money for?"

With such strength already, money should have been secondary to his needs long ago, yet this guy is still so Greed?

"Tch, what do you know?" Having already been exposed by Angelica, Saya stopped pretending. "Isn't research into magic free? Isn't research into potions free?"

"Don't you know that the materials needed to brew potions are incredibly expensive? Don't you know that the Holy Crystal needed to study magic are also ridiculously expensive?"

"If you want money from me, you might as well kill me."

"Besides, it's just a little bit of money, is it really necessary to be so stingy?"

Small amount?

That's definitely not a small amount of money, okay?

Qin Chu strongly suspected that Saya's current wealth might be even more extravagant than the treasury of Wadsworth.

"In short, the money is yours to keep." Qin Chu considered for a moment and said, "You can use it as you please, but when it comes to the expansion of the Holy Church... well, I mean development, you absolutely cannot refuse when Veronica and Ampton need financial support."

The extent to which the Holy Church can expand directly relates to how much faith it can gain.

This is a very important matter. Qin Chu may not care about other things, but he must not be stingy in this regard.

"Okay, I know." Saya stuck out her tongue in slight dissatisfaction, "I'll deduct it from your share."

Even Little Saya next to her was filled with displeasure.

Saya's money, that's her own money too... After all, the two of them are actually the same person, it feels like money is being stolen from my pocket, it's very, very uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, Qin Chu decided to drop the matter. "I'm planning to go to the Holy Church."

Angelica immediately put down her work, and the other girls who had been chatting on the sofa stood up almost simultaneously, clearly preparing to go together.

Although it's a bit ostentatious, Qin Chu's power is currently waning, so having more helpers around him would be a good thing.

When I walked into the garden, I saw a caterpillar on the floor. With a strange expression, I casually stomped on it and crushed it.

Then I sensed myself... Unfortunately, my Death Divinity remained unchanged.

Perhaps there were changes, but they were so subtle that Qin Chu couldn't perceive them at all.

As expected, taking shortcuts is unlikely.

The Death Divinity grows according to the number of lives harvested; the more lives harvested, the greater the benefits.

Qin Chu had thought that if such a small thing could be useful, then things would be simple: just take a kettle of boiling water, find a few ant nests, or throw some poison into the fishpond... Before long, he would probably be invincible.

Unfortunately, such thoughts were ultimately unrealistic.

The enhancement of the Death Divinity is not only related to the quantity of lives harvested, but also to the strength of those lives.

Fortunately, Qin Chu hadn't held out much hope in this matter, so there wasn't much to be disappointed about.

Just as I reached the door, my ear started to itch. I pressed my finger on it, and Candice's voice immediately came through. It seemed the Magic Creature had some more information.

"My beloved Lord Horus, someone wants to kill you!"

Chapter 476 The Evil Little Goddess of Holy Light (4)

Qin Chu's expression was strange.

I finally got some news from Candice, but it turned out to be like this.

However, there are many people in this world who want to kill me, so I'm not too surprised. The only problem is that I'm currently in a period of weakness, so it's better to be a little more careful.

He only glanced at the girls following behind him— Little Saya, Angelica, Athena —and they didn't seem like there was anything to worry about.

Who killed whom?

"Candice, what's going on in the Demonic Beast Territory?" Qin Chu's voice remained calm once he felt relieved.

"According to the message brought by Ramon, the Demon King Nag, who has not appeared in public for a long time, suddenly made a brief public appearance and summoned all the princes, princesses, and queens."

"Even the Four Heavenly Kings and the Seventeen Demon General of the Magic Creature Abyss Four Heavenly Kings have all been summoned together."

All the princes, princesses, and queens, plus the four Heavenly Kings of the Abyss and the seventeen Demon General.

This is already considered the sum of the most powerful forces Magic Creature can possess.

What exactly does the Demon King Nag want to do by summoning so many powerful figures all at once?

To launch a full-scale war of conquest over human territory?

"Then, Demon King Nag announced some news that might be very bad for you: he revealed the selection criteria for the next Demon King."

"Whoever can kill the Hero and bring Hero body into the Demon King's Palace will become the next Demon King."

"It's not just those beings summoned above; even other Magic Creature, as long as they are powerful enough, can become candidates for Demon King."

"Throughout the entire Demonic Beast Territory, almost every Magic Creature with any strength has become restless."

Tsk...

Qin Chu scratched his head helplessly, sensing that trouble was brewing.

While there may not necessarily be any actual danger, it will definitely be very annoying.

It seems that after his previous plan to use Eileen and the three puppets to kill him failed, the Demon King Nag has begun to adopt a different strategy. The only thing that puzzles Qin Chu is whether things would be simpler if the Demon King Nag were to take action personally.

He was unaware that Little Saya was with him. Judging solely from Qin Chu's strength, the Demon King Nag should have been able to capture her easily if he personally intervened.

Moreover, even knowing of Little Saya's existence, Little Saya might not be a match for the Demon King Nag and the Second-Generation Jello.

Could it be that there are certain restrictions preventing the Demon King from acting at will?

Qin Chu's mind raced. Could it be that Jello's consciousness still lingered within him? Was he worried about being noticed by the ugly monster in the Void, hence his timid and hesitant demeanor?

If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. Unless the Demon King takes action himself, Qin Chu won't back down from any of the Demon King's sons, daughters, or subordinates.

"When did this happen?" Qin Chu asked.

"Three days ago, the fastest group should have already infiltrated the human world."

"Why is it only today that we have news?" Qin Chu, somewhat puzzled.

"Because after hearing the news, Ramon hastily gathered a large number of powerful subordinates, wanting to rush into the human world to kill the Hero. This delayed him for a while, and he only remembered to contact me to inquire about the situation today, when he was already halfway there." Candice sighed, clearly somewhat helpless.

"Ramon asked me to ask for your opinion: could you help him kill the Hero and hand over the corpse to him, so he can sit on the Demon King's throne?"
