Cynthia, Goddess of the Moon / Second Chapter

Just after the bird landed, its body began to wriggle strangely, transforming into a round, white, greasy worm. One end of its body bent and lifted up, as if kneeling and kowtowing, and pressed itself against the ground.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Fourth Prince, Prince Rowell!"

"Just as we knew, the Hero has left the Imperial City the Orwell Empire and headed north, accompanied only by five women!"

Chapter 493 Cynthia, the Moon Goddess (Presented)

Indeed, right in front of this Phantom Demon, this pair looked like a noble young master and his bodyguard, possessing an even more special identity.

That handsome noble young man was actually the fourth prince of the Magic Creature McDonald.

His current handsome and dashing appearance, even resembling that of a somewhat frail scholar, is not a disguise for McDonald; this is his true appearance.

Among the many children of the Demon King Nag, McDonald is definitely the one who resembles a human the most. Although Atris is also considered a great beauty among humans, the pair of black wings on her back also reveal her true identity.

Lilina is in the same situation; the tail on her back clearly reveals her identity as Succubus.

Like other princes such as Edrich and Daiaboliq, their towering stature clearly indicates they are not human, not to mention Ramon's enormous size.

But McDonald was different. He didn't need any disguise at all. He could walk into the human city openly and honestly. Perhaps he couldn't hide it from the powerful clergy in the Holy See, but to ordinary people, he was just an elegant young nobleman.

There was almost no trace of Magic Creature on him.

Such a frail appearance would naturally not be popular among Magic Creature, and would even be looked down upon by other Magic Creature. It was only after all three of his older brothers died that McDonald's status gradually rose.

As for the burly Rowell next to McDonald, he also has an identity that should not be underestimated.

His true form is a Rampaging Giant Ape, Rampaging Giant Ape is absolutely the noblest of Magic Creature. And this Rowell is the patriarch of the Rampaging Giant Ape clan, and also has another identity... one of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings!

Clearly, Demon King Nag no longer wants to get involved. Even as one of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings, he has to consider his own future and that of his race.

They also had to choose whom to attach themselves to, to ensure that their own interests would not be affected after the transfer of power from the Demon King, and that they would even become more powerful than before.

The Rampaging Giant Ape clan chose the Fourth Prince... and the reason is simple: the Fourth Prince, McDonald, is the Demon King's eldest son. Even if he chose someone else, would they choose that roughneck, Ramon?

McDonald's expression didn't seem to change much at the news. "Are you sure there were only five women with you?"

"I'm absolutely certain, there were only five women, and no experts from the Holy Church were with them," Phantom Demon immediately replied.

Rowell's eyes turned bloodshot, his gaze flashing with a ferocious light. "Fourth Prince, let's do it."

"This is a good opportunity."

"As long as you kill the Hero and bring his corpse before His Majesty the Demon King, you will be the next Demon King. What are you still hesitating for?"

McDonald did not answer; he simply frowned.

The Hero swaggered away with five women? It just felt a little too deliberate.

Compared to other Magic Creature, McDonald, being more human-like, clearly possesses higher intelligence. A large number of Magic Creature have already infiltrated the Imperial City; the Hero couldn't possibly be unaware. Knowing the danger, yet attempting to leave with only five women... could this be a trap?

Under normal circumstances, McDonald would definitely choose to remain still, or even turn around and leave.

But McDonald can't do that now. He already has a large number of subordinates around him, McDonald must show them the demeanor of Demon King who can lead the entire Magic Creature race. Otherwise, Rowell and even the entire Rampaging Giant Ape clan will leave him and choose other more worthy allies.

With that thought in mind, McDonald finally stopped hesitating and took a deep breath. "Ready to go."

Similar situations occur in many places.

A large number of long-dormant Magic Creature have begun to move... Not all Magic Creature are fools; some with a bit of Magic Creature can see the problem, but they have no other choice.

There can only be one Hero. If he doesn't act, others will. If other Magic Creature manage to deliver the Hero's corpse to the Demon King, it will be too late.

Just as all the Magic Creature began to move, Princess Atris finally made her move as well, leading her skilled followers silently to the very back.

Atris always held to one point: it doesn't matter who kills the Hero; the one who laughs last is the true king.

Meanwhile, Qin Chu and his group were proceeding methodically.

The six did not deliberately speed up, but their individual strengths were all quite impressive. After a day, the Imperial City of the Orwell Empire was left far behind.

A distance of several hundred kilometers is already considered long. Under such circumstances, if the Hero is attacked, even if the Holy Church wanted to come to his aid, it would be too far away to do so.

Just as the group of six reached a grove of trees, they finally stopped. Several women were cooking over a fire on the ground, seemingly preparing to set up camp there, rest for the night, and continue their journey the next day.

The jungle was exceptionally quiet at night.

The bright moonlight shone down, covering the ground with a layer of hazy white frost.

The air seemed oppressive; the chirping of night birds and insects was absent, creating an eerie silence.

The campfire was burning on the ground, crackling and popping, and every now and then a cluster of sparks could be seen exploding, drifting into the air and gradually dissipating.

Beside the campfire, Angelica Heloise, and Ieta were preparing dinner, while Antasia sat on the other side, her small hands wrapped around her knees, a hint of worry on her fair face.

Antia, petite as she was, leaned against a large tree with her arms crossed.

Even though the Hero left the comfort zone of the Imperial City when their strength was exhausted, and although this place was not the territory of Magic Creature, it was still full of danger, everyone seemed to be completely unaware of this danger and completely oblivious to the tense and oppressive atmosphere around them.

Completely unsuspecting.

"Antasia, don't worry too much." Qin Chu noticed Antasia's anxiety, holding a branch in his hand and gently stirring the campfire on the ground, reassuring her, "Everything will be alright."

"We might be a little delayed today, but we'll be able to reach the Ice Grand Duchy very soon, which will be dozens of times faster than you traveling back alone by carriage."

Antasia sighed helplessly; she knew Qin Chu had a lot of troubles on his hands.

She could feel the oppressive atmosphere; the air was filled with the stench unique to Magic Creature.

By now, the camp should already be surrounded by Magic Creature. More and more Magic Creature are approaching, but Magic Creature are just wary of each other and none of them have made the first move. However, this delicate balance cannot last long.

These are all guys who want to assassinate Qin Chu. Qin Chu cannot leave Orville in peace unless he eliminates all these Magic Creature. For this purpose, Qin Chu is willing to personally act as bait.

She understood everything, but she still couldn't help worrying.

However, if it's Qin Chu, he can definitely solve it... Antasia believed this. She had been by Qin Chu's side for a long time, and during that long time, Qin Chu had never failed in anything he wanted to do. He would definitely solve the troubles of the Ice Grand Duchy.

Gradually, Qin Chu's gaze fell on Angelica. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Qin Chu smiled slightly, beckoning to Angelica. Angelica, dressed in a charming and adorable maid outfit, quickly put down what she was holding and hurried to Qin Chu's side. "Master, what are your orders?"

Qin Chu's gaze was fixed on the familiar little maid in front of him. He wanted to know who the person who had been lurking deep within Angelica's consciousness was.

His right hand was already raised, caressing Angelica's fair cheek. "Who exactly are you?"

Angelica was slightly taken aback. "Master, what did you say?"

Qin Chu shook his head. "I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to that thing deep inside your soul."

Angelica's face suddenly turned pale. Had her body really been corrupted?

"Don't worry, although there is indeed an uninvited guest in your Soul World, it seems that the guy has no intention of harming you," Qin Chu comforted him.

After a brief pause, Qin Chu's voice became serious again. "If possible, I want to talk to you face to face. You didn't harm Angelica, so I won't crush your soul directly."

"You should know very well that I already know of your existence. Even if you hide very well in Anjie's Soul World, I will eventually find you. You can't hide forever."

Angelica remained completely bewildered; she felt nothing.

Qin Chu was not in a hurry; he had enough patience to wait.

However, if the mysterious being in Angelica's Soul World continues to defy her, then it's hard to guarantee that Qin Chu won't do something excessive. Even if she hides very deep in Angelica's Soul World, Qin Chu will still dig her out even if it means digging three feet into the ground.

Before confirming the other party's identity and danger level, Qin Chu would never allow such a time bomb to remain inside Angelica's body.

Seemingly sensing that Qin Chu wouldn't let this go, the entity that had been hiding within Angelica's body finally made some movement.

A large expanse of pure white moonlight enveloped Angelica, making her appear as if she were a goddess descended from the Angelica, her fair skin radiating a hazy, delicate, and warm glow, like fine jade.

This strange change attracted the attention of the other girls, including Antia, whose bright blue eyes curiously fell on Angelica.

Angelica felt somewhat flustered by her own reaction, and looked at Qin Chu in front of her with a frightened gaze. When her master was around, this little maid Angelica would instinctively want to seek her master's help when she encountered difficulties.

Qin Chu wasn't worried at all; he simply sat there and waited quietly.

The moonlight enveloping Angelica grew brighter and brighter, as if all the light from the surrounding vast area had converged on her. Just as the Angelica reached its peak, it suddenly contracted.

A graceful silhouette gradually emerged before Angelica.

Just from the curves of her silhouette, one can tell that she must be a beautiful and elegant goddess.

The outline became clearer and clearer, and one could even glimpse the scene of the skirt fluttering in the night breeze.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the suddenly appearing silhouette, and Angelica was slightly agape, her face filled with surprise.

This adorable little maid never imagined that such a thing would suddenly appear on her body.

Time passed slowly in this silent and astonished atmosphere. Although Qin Chu did not know which deity appeared on Angelica, he could clearly feel that the deity's aura was very weak.

The time it took for her form to solidify was also quite long.

Several minutes later, a shadowy, ghost-like figure finally appeared.

Her long, white hair, as white as frost, fluttered gently behind her. Her graceful body was clad in a plain white dress, beneath which should have been a pair of beautifully shaped long legs. Unfortunately, this deity's aura was far too weak; she simply did not have the ability to fully solidify her form, leaving the area below her calves completely blank.

Only those eyes shone as brightly as the full moon in the sky.

Her fair cheeks were like a dream, so beautiful that they even overshadowed the charm of the women around her.

Her skin was as cool and clear as frost, as white and beautiful as the moon.

Perhaps only the gods in heaven could possess such beauty.

Although it was only a semi-transparent phantom, it already displayed a charm that was in no way inferior to that of the Little Saya, or even the Goddess of Holy Light.

Her long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

Even Qin Chu, who had endured countless trials, experienced a brief moment of disorientation at this moment.

A few more seconds passed, and the mysterious goddess's bright eyes finally regained focus. Instead of paying attention to Angelica, whom she was possessing, her gaze was fixed on Qin Chu: "You forced me to appear. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those ugly things around us?"

Her voice was like a clear spring dripping, ethereal and enchanting, possessing a natural charm and allure.

Qin Chu smiled slightly, stood up, and bowed to the mysterious figure in front of him, showing it ample respect.

He despised the people of the Skyvault Continent, but these gods deserved respect.

"They're just some small insects, nothing to worry about."

He didn't care at all that this scene might be seen by the surrounding Magic Creature, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter. The moment those Magic Creature entered this area, they would be unable to leave.

After a slight pause, Qin Chu spoke again, "I still don't know the goddess's name."

Seeing that Qin Chu seemed to have no intention of completely crushing her remnant soul, the goddess finally felt a little relieved.

"The Moon Goddess... Cynthia!"

Chapter Two is presented.

Chapter 494 The Goddess of Holy Light Will Eventually Die (1)

Cynthia!

A beautiful name, a goddess who holds the Moonlight Authority. Qin Chu wasn't too surprised; he already had some guesses in his mind when the moonlight gathered.

However, this title and name evoke completely different feelings in other people's ears.

The extraordinary scene that greeted Cynthia upon her appearance made it clear to everyone that she was a very special being, but no one expected that she would actually be a true god.

Even the strongest Antia was shocked at this moment.

Thankfully, it was Qin Chu who brought this up. If it had been anyone else, these girls would have immediately thought, "Is this guy stupid?"

Angelica's eyes widened, her long eyelashes fluttering, completely unsure how to react at this moment. This was... this was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?

Goddess...?

How could the Moon Goddess appear on me?

"Angelica, could you please leave for a moment?" Qin Chu said softly.

Without a doubt, Qin Chu wanted to communicate with the Moon Goddess about something special.

These things weren't suitable for too many people to know. Although they were curious, the girls were all reasonable, and none of them refused. They simply nodded slightly and moved a distance away, leaving the area around the campfire entirely to Qin Chu and Cynthia.

"What do you want to know?" Cynthia understood that Qin Chu had deliberately forced her out of Angelica's body and made everyone else leave because he wanted to get something out of her.

Qin Chu's expression gradually became somewhat solemn. He held the gods of this world in high esteem, whether it was the Goddess of Holy Light or the Fire God of Fire, whose voice he had briefly heard earlier.

However, this does not mean that the Moon Goddess holds a higher place in Qin Chu's heart than Angelica.

"You won't hurt Angelica, right?" Qin Chu's voice was slightly suppressed.

Cynthia immediately replied, "Of course."
