The Bizarre Goddess of Fate

Death wasn't something Adelina was particularly afraid of, but as the saying goes, no one wants to die if they can live.

"I can still wield the power of Pride Authority to some extent," Adelina said quietly. "If you want to save this woman, I can change her mind."

"Of course, things aren't perfect right now. The woman still needs to cooperate. If she resists deep down, it will still fail."

Qin Chu nodded at Adelina's words; he had already made up his mind.

He took two more steps forward, then squatted down beside Atris, looking at the increasingly frail Magic Creature princess before him. "Your Highness, I am very interested in your proposal."

"However, you are well aware of the difference in our status. You are also different from Heloise and Ieta. I do not possess the ring that controls you."

Atris seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival and revenge.

Her chest began to heave rapidly. "Hero Excellency, I swear to be utterly loyal to you, never to betray you, and I only hope for a chance for revenge."

The sound was very weak.

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

But the Wrath and hatred contained within were so intense that even Qin Chu felt a chill run down his spine.

For a woman who has never experienced familial love, those subtle acts of kindness are all the more touching, and knowing that such kindness is just a deception will only intensify her hatred.

Qin Chu shook his head slightly. "Atris Highness, you know very well that this so-called oath has no value to people like us."

"I won't leave a woman by my side who might stab me in the back at any moment."

"So, if you want to survive to seek revenge, if you want me to believe you, you only have one choice: accept Adelina's Mind Manipulation..."

"She will change your thinking and your will to some extent, making you loyal to me and never betray me."

Only in this way can I truly believe in you.

"Of course, I guarantee that Adelina will only change your loyalty to me; nothing else will be changed. This process requires your cooperation. If you resist deep down, the change will fail, and our deal will fall apart."

This is not a fair trade.

To gain Qin Chu's trust, Atris even had to accept something as extreme as altering her soul.

Worse still, although Qin Chu assured Adelina that he would only modify loyalty and not change anything else, who could guarantee that this was just Qin Chu talk?

Perhaps, Qin Chu will seize this opportunity, with Atris's complete cooperation, to thoroughly modify Atris's soul and turn her into his puppet.

But Atris's response was unusually decisive. "I accept."

This Magic Creature princess was fully aware of her current predicament; whether she could survive depended entirely on Qin Chu.

Once you're dead, you have nothing left.

Now she can only gamble that Qin Chu won't turn her into a puppet. If she wins, she'll live and have a chance for revenge; if she loses, it'll be no different from death.

Since we're going to die anyway, why not take a gamble and give it a chance?

Of course, that's true, but very few people can actually be so carefree. This alone earned Qin Chu's admiration for Atris. He turned to look at Adelina, who was leaning on his shoulder, and nodded.

He immediately opened his arms and cast Greater Water Healing on Atris.

Since gaining Water God's Authority, Qin Chu has found it exceptionally easy to use water-based magic.

Water magic also possesses some healing abilities. Although its effects are not as good as Holy Light magic, it can still restore a little... or rather, prolong the time Atris can hold on.

At least it will prevent Atris from dying so quickly.

After doing all this, Adelina floated out from behind Qin Chu and placed a small hand on Atris's forehead.

Atris knew that her will was about to be altered, and the best outcome would be that she would never be able to escape Qin Chu's control. Even so, Atris did not regret the decision she made.

An invisible ripple gradually spread.

Adelina's body trembled slowly. With her current soul abilities, it was not an easy task for Adelina to barely activate the Pride Authority. This Pride Witch was also under tremendous pressure.

Her already translucent body became increasingly thin.

Forcibly altering a twisted soul is undoubtedly an extremely painful experience for the person suffering from it.

But Atris remained almost expressionless throughout. She didn't scream or offer any resistance; her body only convulsed involuntarily.

Their loyalty to Qin Chu was growing stronger every second.

The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes. As Adelina's small hand left Atris's forehead, Atris's body still seemed to be recovering from the pain, and her body was still convulsing as if she had been electrocuted.

Adelina, though merely a pure soul, seemed to be drenched in sweat from exhaustion. She raised her small hand to wipe away imaginary beads of sweat from her forehead and looked at Qin Chu.

At this moment, the Pride Witch was clearly exhausted. Her body was almost completely transparent, and she didn't even have the strength to speak. She simply nodded to Qin Chu and then her soul entered Qin Chu's body to go back and recuperate. She was just too tired.

Atris was still panting on the ground. After a long while, Atris seemed to recover, and her empty eyes gradually regained some sparkle.

His eyes were still filled with hatred, but when his gaze finally turned to Qin Chu, the hatred gradually dissipated and turned into worship and admiration.

"Owner..."

Atris knew perfectly well what had happened to her, including the fact that her will had been altered. She understood even more clearly that her loyalty to Qin Chu had been forcibly changed by the Witch who had just appeared.

However, she felt no resistance to this outcome whatsoever, as if serving Qin Chu was simply a matter of course.

Qin Chu was the master to whom he would serve with all his might for the rest of his life.

The idea of trying to break free and no longer being loyal to Qin Chu never even crossed her mind. She would even feel happy that Qin Chu her master and that she had to be loyal to him.

This reversal is almost irreversible, unless one day Atris's level can surpass that of the Pride Witch, or even Qin Chu, but that is almost impossible for Atris.

The power of the Pride Witch is truly terrifying.

A smile appeared on Qin Chu's face; he knew that Adelina had completely succeeded.

"Very good, Atris, I will treat you now." Qin Chu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "This process may not be very comfortable for you."

"It hurts, bear with it."

Atris nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with even more intense adoration.

Treating this Magic Creature princess is no easy task.

The fact that she is Magic Creature cannot be changed, which also renders the most effective healing magic Holy Light, ineffective.

The most powerful ability in terms of recovery should be Qin Chu's Holy Healing. The Holy Healing Authority can pull you back from the brink of death as long as you have a breath left.

Despite having the word "holy" in its name, the Holy Healing Authority does not belong to the Holy Light magic category.

This is a special power belonging to Qin Chu themselves.

This power also gave Qin Chu's flesh and blood a certain degree of healing effect. In particular, since Qin Chu's body was fused with the Evil God's Heart, and although one of the Evil God's legs had not been fully digested, it directly made Qin Chu's blood, muscles, and bones into panaceas.

With that in mind, Qin Chu no longer hesitated.

He swiftly sliced off his right index finger, leaving a drop of bright red blood, and held it directly in front of Atris: "Suck it."

Because of her deep loyalty to Qin Chu, Atris had absolutely no doubt about Qin Chu's actions and immediately opened her lips to put Qin Chu's finger into her mouth.

Crimson beads of blood slowly trickled down his throat, carrying a slightly metallic sweetness.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long. The effect of the Holy Healing Authority was simply too exaggerated. Such a small wound would heal automatically in less than two seconds. The blood that Atris swallowed was probably only a drop or two.

Although it wasn't much, the effect looked quite good.

As soon as Qin Chu withdrew his finger, the blood immediately began to take effect in Atris's body.

The Magic Creature princess's originally fair skin instantly turned bright red, as if she had a high fever, and her body was slowly convulsing and spasming.

The cracks that were originally on the surface of the body are slowly healing.

Even the wounds on his shoulders, which were broken on both arms, are gradually healing, with granulation tissue slowly growing at the front of the wounds.

The speed is too slow. At this rate, it may take several days for Atris to recover to the point where she can walk normally. Qin Chu doesn't have that much time to waste here.

Moreover, a drop or two of blood is far too little; it would probably not be enough to sustain Atris until she fully recovers, as the energy contained in her blood would be completely exhausted.

Looking down at his palm, Qin Chu muttered to himself that he didn't like damaging his body, but the current situation was a bit special, so he would just have to bear with it.

Qin Chu cut his right hand again, this time slicing open his palm and stopping just above Atris's lips.

Atris's lips moved as she almost Greed swallowed the blood dripping from Qin Chu.

With the addition of fresh blood, Atris's recovery began to accelerate.

By the latter half of the night, her skin had almost completely returned to its original crystal-clear, jade-like appearance, and her arms had returned to elbow level. Compared to the effects of Holy Healing on Qin Chu, it was ultimately much slower.

However, this almost bizarre ability was enough to shock people, even Antia and the others were filled with astonishment.

It wasn't until the early hours of the next day that Atris's arms were fully recovered.

Although their strength has not yet recovered to its peak, they already possess considerable combat power.

At this point, Qin Chu finally withdrew his hand, and the wound on his palm healed automatically. Looking at Atris, Qin Chu's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Atris escaped death, but the situation still seemed rather bad, not because of weakness... but because of Qin Chu's blood.

Qin Chu's blood dragged Atris out of hell, but his blood was also mixed with a large amount of the Evil God's Blood.

The Evil God's Blood would not harm Qin Chu, but for Atris, it was both a healing elixir and a terrifying poison.

Her small hands were still fair and tender, and the skin on her thighs and chest was just as delicate as before.

Only on his face... to be precise, at the corner of his right eye, dark red lines, like tree branches, feathers, or wings, slanted upwards.

Well... not ugly?

There's even a kind of alluring, seductive charm?

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone a prosperous and auspicious new year. May your first day bring you great fortune! Today, I'm going to have some super good luck... Okay, I'm driving for thirteen hours back to my hometown. Hopefully, there won't be any traffic jams... I was originally planning to go back to my hometown in early January, but I got pregnant. Oh well, I can only wait to recover slowly. Once I've recovered a little, I still need to write some articles. What's worse is that the traffic was terrible in the days leading up to the Lunar New Year...

Chapter 505 The Mysterious Goddess of Fate

(4,000 characters)

The marks formed by the Evil God's Corruption did not diminish Atris's beauty in the slightest; in fact, they added a unique allure.

With her tall, sexy, and fiery figure, plus a pair of black wings on her back, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially since Atris long dress was torn during the previous battle, with the hem in particular tattered and only a few strips of fabric remaining, her long, white legs looked absolutely captivating at this moment.

The proportions between her chest, waist, hips, and legs are almost exaggerated.

It seems that all the erosion is concentrated in the area diagonally above the corner of the eye, and does not seem to have spread throughout the entire body.

Even though Qin Chu had dealt with the corruption of Evil God many times, it was still difficult for him to judge the situation in a short time. But for Atris, being able to survive was already a great fortune, and she had no right to worry about anything else.

Feeling that her life was secure and that she wouldn't have to worry about death for a while, a hint of excitement appeared on Atris's face. This excitement quickly turned into hatred.

The Hero, though previously an enemy, still kept his promise.

Moreover, this Hero is now the master to whom he must serve.

Taking a deep breath, Atris knelt on one knee before Qin Chu, her head bowed, her long black hair cascading to the ground. "Thank you for saving me, Master."

"I will always remember Atris life-saving grace."

"From this day forward, Atris will offer her utmost loyalty to her master."

Qin Chu's gaze abruptly left Atris's long, white legs, and he said seriously, "Get up."

How are you feeling? Is there anything unusual around your eyes?

Atris stood up, closed her eyes to assess her current condition, and then shook her head. "My strength has recovered to 70% of normal, and there are no other abnormalities."

"That's good. Now, come with me to the Ice Grand Duchy." Qin Chu glanced at the rising sun on the horizon and stretched his arms vigorously.

Things are finally over here.

Although Atris's soul had been altered by Adelina, Qin Chu still dared not let Atris go to the Hero's Palace alone; he remained wary of her.

"Your revenge can't be rushed. Tell me about the situation with the Magic Creature on the way," Qin Chu said.

Atris nodded.

Although she was a tall, slender, and mature woman, she behaved exceptionally obediently at this moment. Her twisted soul had completely accepted Qin Chu as its master, and she would not do anything against its master's will.

"Come over here, everyone." Qin Chu beckoned, then looked at the Little Saya.

"Antasia, tell Saya the exact location and distance of the Ice Grand Duchy."

Antasia didn't know which Saya to tell, or how to address the two Dark Witch; it was a problem even within the Hero's Palace.

"Big Saya, Little Saya" —only Qin Chu would dare to use such terms. As for other girls, although both Miss Saya usually acted quite approachable, they were still genuine Dark Witch. When you met one of them alone, you could call her by Saya name, but if the two of them appeared together and you called one of them "Little Saya," it would definitely cause a conflict.

Antasia roughly determined the direction; from here, it would be about three thousand kilometers further north.
