Gerold, Your Female Teammate Is Quite Something
Just before she left the Demon King's Castle, her father summoned her to the Demon King's Palace, patted her on the shoulder, and earnestly instructed her, "Daiaboliq and Edrich are dead. Atris, you must work hard."
If he didn't intend to pass the Demon King's position to me, why would my father say such a thing?
This was the first time Atris had ever felt her father's warmth from him.
She simply stretched out her right hand with force, and a long black whip appeared in her palm... Unfortunately, she looked far too disheveled. If she had been dressed in latex and leather boots, she would have been a mature and elegant woman, or even a queen.
The eldest princess even wanted to continue resisting.
Qin Chu didn't care and just walked towards Atris step by step.
With each step closer, Atris felt the pressure on her increase, her broken ribs almost piercing her internal organs.
Even if Qin Chu did nothing, the ever-increasing pressure was unbearable for Atris.
She could sense that, perhaps before Qin Chu could even get completely in front of her, her body would completely Ruin under the terrifying pressure.
She couldn't even maintain the long whip she had conjured in her hand; it disintegrated on its own.
Two bright red streaks of blood rolled down her fair face from the corner of her eye.
Even so, Atris still did not beg Qin Chu for mercy.
Throughout, this eldest princess maintained the dignity and honor of being the eldest princess of the Magic Creature, and upheld the pride of being a powerful being.
Qin Chu expressed respect for Atris's will... Of course, death was still inevitable, and Qin Chu was very clear about this distinction.
His right hand was raised, with his five fingers slightly bent.
Heart Control!
Buzz...
Atris's pretty face was instantly filled with pain.
She could feel Qin Chu gripping her heart in his palm; if those fingers tightened even slightly, her heart would instantly turn into mincemeat.
And this scene won't be far off.
Just as Qin Chu retracted his five fingers, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Atris's originally dark eyes were instantly covered with a layer of scarlet, and even her aura changed drastically.
The original fear and struggle vanished, leaving only untamed wildness and the arrogance of a king.
A strange, twisted smile even appeared on his face, and his right hand reached directly towards the Void above his head. "Axe, come!"
The first chapter, four thousand words in total, is presented here.
Chapter 499 Jello, Your Female Teammate Tastes Pretty Good (4000 words)
Bring the axe!
Although it was still Atris's clear, crisp voice.
However, the aura emanating from his voice was completely different—arrogant, unruly, and looking down upon the world.
Atris was enduring immense pain, many times more intense than the pressure Qin Chu had previously exerted. Her entire face was contorted in agony, and her facial muscles were twitching uncontrollably, as if in a spasm.
His nostrils and ears were covered in bright red blood.
That's not all.
On that fair and delicate face, long and slender neck, chest, and thighs, dense, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear.
At first glance, it looks like a sculpture that has reached its end and is about to break.
Only one pair of eyes exuded an intense, unyielding arrogance and swagger, their scarlet light flashing like that of a wild beast.
The difference was so bizarre that it even had a creepy, twisted quality.
Qin Chu's expression also changed slightly. In the instant that Atris's aura changed drastically, he could clearly feel that his control over Atris's heart was forcibly broken.
This is not the power of Atris.
Even Antia, who was behind them, could sense that something was wrong. Her expression became extremely serious, and she stood in front of Angelica and the other girls, shielding them. Antia did not come to help Qin Chu; she knew that taking care of these women so that Qin Chu would not have to worry about their safety was more important.
Boom... Crack...
At that very moment.
A bolt of blue-purple lightning suddenly flashed across the sky overhead.
The night was torn apart, and the momentary brightness even made one's eyes hurt.
Accompanied by a thunderbolt from the sky, a giant battle axe appeared out of thin air.
Atris's slender fingers gripped the axe handle tightly, and the ferocity in her eyes intensified.
The next instant, without the slightest hesitation, the battle axe slashed down at Qin Chu.
That axe strike tore through the night sky, ripped apart the heavens.
A gleaming light, with the force to split the entire sky in two, crashed down upon Qin Chu.
Buzz...
In an instant, they were already in front of Qin Chu.
In an instant, the earth shook and the sky trembled.
Where the axe blade fell, between Qin Chu and Atris, the earth was torn open into a bottomless canyon, dark and deep, attempting to swallow everything.
A golden light flashed on Qin Chu's body.
The axe light and the golden light collided instantly, and a deafening sound echoed in Qin Chu's ears. In an instant, his entire brain was almost turned into a mess, and the impact, even more exaggerated than the previous two Transcendent Magic, spread outwards.
The fine dust on the ground was all swept into the sky, and it took a long time for it to fall back down like snowflakes.
Pseudo- Absolute Defense.
This is another trick I've plundered from Benson; this special power is extremely useful in situations like this.
Moreover, as Qin Chu's strength increased, the intensity of his Pseudo-Absolute Defense also continued to improve. In the previous instance with Daiaboliq, it shattered instantly when faced with the Demon King's attack. This time, although the golden shield of Absolute Defense was covered with dense cracks, it ultimately withstood the attack.
The dense dust couldn't obscure Qin Chu's vision. His gaze fixed on the woman who seemed to have grown taller, a mocking smile playing on Qin Chu lips, "Demon King Nag..."
That's right, this woman is no longer Atris.
Her body has been controlled by her father, the Demon King Nag.
Having fought the Demon King three times in his first life and having a brief encounter with him in this life, Qin Chu has some understanding of the Demon King Nag.
That axe blow was definitely the work of the Demon King Nag.
Although Princess Atris, the Magic Creature Princess, possesses considerable strength, she cannot unleash such power.
"Should I praise you? As Demon King, you actually possessed your own daughter's body." Qin Chu's smile grew wider and wider.
Although Qin Chu didn't know exactly how the Demon King Nag had done it, he could tell at a glance that the Demon King had manipulated Atris's body in some way.
There is no doubt that this manipulation is definitely not a good thing for Atris.
Atris's body couldn't withstand the Demon King's immense power; her flesh was cracked all over and could Ruin completely at any moment.
Nag was quite frank, making no attempt to hide it. "There's nothing I can do. Of all my sons and daughters, only Atris can bear my power."
"I went to great lengths to get your body."
That's a really bad thing to say; it's easy to misinterpret.
"Ah." Qin Chu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something. "About your son and daughter, I have to apologize to you. I accidentally killed several of them."
"It's alright, that kind of trash, once he's dead, he's dead. It's no big deal."
The two chatted casually, and there was no tense atmosphere at all. They didn't seem like enemies at all, but rather like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
After a brief pause, Atris... no, now it was Demon King Nag who spoke again, "Hero, your strength truly astonishes me. It's only been a little over a year, yet you've grown to such a level. If you were given another year, perhaps you could break through the shackles of the Skyvault Continent and become the third Demigod in this world. At that time, it would probably be impossible to defeat you."
"Actually, I'm not that great." The Demon King's praise seemed to make Qin Chu feel a little embarrassed.
It seems that Qin Chu has no intention of immediately engaging in battle with the Demon King.
It's obvious he's stalling for time.
Perhaps because she had been inside Qin Chu's body for so long, even though they were separated, Antia was still able to maintain a connection with Qin Chu. Taking advantage of this moment, she winked at Angelica and the other girls.
The fact that Atris on the other side has been replaced by the Demon King is definitely a very bad sign.
Even if the Demon King was only using Atris's body, couldn't unleash his full power, Demigod is still Demigod, and his destructive power is still beyond what ordinary people can withstand.
Despite the current peaceful atmosphere, Antia knew that a cataclysmic battle was imminent.
When that time comes, the aftershocks of the battlefield could very well affect him, as well as Angelica and the others.
Even Antia would find it difficult to participate in a conflict of this magnitude, let alone others. The best option at this time would be to leave with Angelica and the others, so that Qin Chu would not have to worry about his women while fighting the Demon King.
These girls were all very intelligent. Although they were worried and annoyed that they couldn't help at this time, they were determined not to become a burden to Qin Chu.
At that moment, they retreated silently, trying to increase the distance between themselves and Qin Chu and the Demon King.
Their movements were very subtle, but they still did not escape the Demon King's eyes, though Nag clearly did not care about such small actions.
Although he was only using his daughter's body, Demon King Nag was still absolutely confident that he could take down Qin Chu without any pressure. He didn't need to do something as shameful as using these women to threaten Qin Chu.
"Then, Your Hero, let's cooperate." Nag didn't hide anything and directly stated his goal.
To cooperate with Qin Chu.
The previous attacks were merely to demonstrate their willingness to cooperate.
Of course, if they could just kill Qin Chu and carry Qin Chu corpse back to the Demon King's Castle, then there would be no difference between cooperating and not cooperating.
"Cooperation? You're the Demon King, and I'm the Hero. I don't see any possibility of cooperation between us." Qin Chu shrugged.
Although the Demon King is currently using his daughter's body and looks fairly good, Qin Chu knows exactly how... muscular this Demon King's true form is.
Qin Chu had no intention of fencing.
If the Demon King were the one with two feet on one head, long brown hair, red eyes, and an incredibly large chest, Demon King was both intelligent and somewhat naive, Qin Chu might consider cooperating.
"Too narrow- Hero, Your Excellency. Your vision is rather limited."
The Demon King Nag, sporting a face resembling Atris, burst into laughter. "Demon King and Hero are merely titles, identities, and have no real meaning whatsoever."
"Actually, in some ways, you, me, and other lives can all be considered business people."
What do business people value? Profit.
"Why did I lead the Magic Creature on their conquests? For profit."
"As Hero, representing humanity, why do you eliminate Magic Creature? Naturally, it's for the benefits entrusted to you by humanity. Everything we do is actually a transaction, only the price paid in this transaction differs. Some pay with power, while others pay with their lives."
"Since everyone is in it for the benefit of the people, why can't we cooperate?"
Qin Chu was shocked. Good heavens, who would have thought that he would hear such a long speech from the Demon King?
If this guy hadn't been Demon King and had simply become a merchant, he might have achieved what Ma Huateng did.
"What can humans give you? Nothing more than Mana, women, and status."
"What humans can give you, I, Nag, can give you two times, ten times."
"Mana and status? As long as you cooperate with me and conquer human territory, you will be the ruler of humanity, a status unmatched by anyone. You can have as much Mana as you want!"
"Beautiful females? There are countless among Magic Creature... Succubus, Snow Woman, Blood Elf, you can choose any of them you like. As for females like Heloise and Ieta, you can find hundreds or thousands among Magic Creature. Even if they were my daughters, it wouldn't matter... Well, it seems you've killed so many that only the eldest and the third are left."
Qin Chu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. How did even the Magic Creature know about his fondness for beautiful women? He felt rather embarrassed.
"Actually, I'm not that lecherous. As for women, a certain number is enough. I'm not that greedy."
The Demon King was shocked. Although he had long known that humans were shameless, he had rarely seen anyone say such shameless things.
Not lustful? If you weren't lustful, why are there so many women around you?
"Of course, Your Demon King's suggestion is quite appealing, but there's one thing I'm curious about: what benefit would it bring you?"
Nag laughed heartily, "It's simple. I don't want to be enemies with someone whose strength will soon reach Demigod, making them my equal. Of course, I don't think you'd want to fight a powerful Demon King either."
"Moreover, as long as we join forces, we will be invincible on the Skyvault Continent, and the entire world will fall completely under our control. Don't you think this would be a win-win situation for both of us?"
It certainly sounds good, if Qin Chu hadn't already known the true purpose of the Demon King and the Second-Generation Jello from the Soul Imprint of the First-Generation Jello.
To put it bluntly, it's simply that the Demon King Nag can only use his daughter's body right now and can't unleash his full power. He's not absolutely certain he can capture me, so he's trying to fool me.
