Qin Chu's Treatment Method
Here's the first chapter, 4,000 words. Regarding the new group, I will create another group, but not now. There are too many groups to manage. There was a previous incident where someone infiltrated the group and waited until the day before the state funeral to bombard the VIP group, then reported it the next day. It almost took my book and me away in one fell swoop. I'm too busy right now and don't even have time to check the groups. I'll create another one after I'm done with these few days. Please wait a bit.
Chapter 521 Qin Chu's Treatment Method
(4,000 characters)
Florence and Inas were both curious about the woman who had suddenly appeared and saved them.
The woman's words only added to their suspicions.
The woman was beautiful, but the thick fog surrounding her added a touch of gloom, making her appear like Witch at first glance, giving off an unpleasant feeling.
But on the other side, it was this same woman who saved both of them.
Moreover, judging from the woman's words, she seemed to be very familiar with this place; otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like, "You shouldn't have come here."
They exchanged a glance, and Florence, with her greater knowledge and experience, stepped forward and bowed again. "We still don't know your name, Miss?"
"Ileta." The woman tilted her head slightly and gave a name.
It's a very nice-sounding name.
"Most people who know me call me the Death Witch."
Ileta didn't hide anything.
She knew what kind of reputation Witch had in the Skyvault Continent, but she didn't care at all what others thought of her. As long as her lover wouldn't hate, reject, or distance himself from her because of her Witch identity, everything would be fine.
As expected, Florence and Ileta were clearly taken aback when the words "Death Witch" appeared.
She really is Witch.
Witch are an exception in the concept of the Skyvault Continent.
There are many legends about Witch, and in these legends, Witch are mostly depicted as beautiful, sexy, charming, and endlessly alluring, but also fierce, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
The Skyvault Continent seems to really like these legends, especially the contrast between beauty and cruelty. These legends also make the image of Witch more vivid and fixed.
However, very few people have actually seen Witch.
Even Inas and Florence had never actually dealt with Witch.
The Holy Church seemed to have once planned a Witch hunt, but it ultimately came to nothing. They claimed to have won a great victory, but Florence knew that the Holy Church had suffered a great loss in that encounter, and the victory was merely for show.
It's just that Witch mostly stay away from the hustle and bustle, rarely appearing in front of humans, and even less so publicly declaring their identities, nor exposing the boasts of the Holy Church.
Since we can't truly eradicate the Witch, we can only let her be. What else can we do?
Florence and Inas could both sense that this mysterious woman was extremely powerful; they even had a vague feeling that this Death Witch was even more powerful than Saint Monica and Wadsworth.
To be able to use death as a pretext, she must be an absolutely ruthless character even among all the Witch.
Although it was only a brief exchange, it didn't seem as terrifying as the legends suggested.
The Death Witch didn't kill them outright; she even saved them. Is this something the Death Witch would do?
Florence quickly suppressed her doubts, thanked the Death Witch Ileta again, and then asked the real question, "Lady Ileta, you seem to know a lot about the situation here. Could you tell us something?"
"Of course." A slight smile seemed to appear on Ileta's lips, though it was hard to tell if she was actually laughing.
Her already stunning face appeared even more radiant at this moment.
Even though Inas and Florence were both very proud women, they felt ashamed at this moment, looking down at their chests, but thankfully they could still find some confidence here.
Ileta rarely interacted with others and appeared at first glance to be a very aloof woman.
In reality, Ileta doesn't reject communicating with others. It's just that before meeting Qin Chu, the death aura around her was too strong. If she got close to other living beings, it would directly lead to their death. Therefore, Ileta consciously avoided contact with other people.
But now, the deathly aura around him has been purified by Qin Chu, and this restriction has disappeared.
Before explaining to the two, Ileta first asked, "Why are you two here?"
"We heard that the Ice Grand Duchy was attacked by cold air, the root of which was the glacier, so we came here. We thought our strength would be enough to solve the problem, but we didn't expect to almost lose our lives here." Florence gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Having reached level 90, I thought I was strong enough, but now I realize I'm still just a weakling.
"I see." Ileta nodded. "Wanting to save the millions of lives in the Ice Grand Duchy is a good intention, but sometimes you have to be realistic about your capabilities. This is not a problem you can handle."
Florence felt somewhat uncomfortable. She knew that Ileta, as Witch, was naturally much older than her, but she looked no more than sixteen or twenty-eight years old. Being taught by Ileta in this way felt rather strange.
"You have no idea what's actually sealed off here..."
"What is being suppressed here is actually the remains of a god."
The strange unease vanished instantly, and Florence and Inas's pupils dilated violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
They understood that this enormous body must have an extraordinary origin, but they never imagined it would be so exaggerated—the remains of a god?
Who can kill a god?
"A thousand years ago, extraterrestrial gods invaded this world."
"The native gods of the Skyvault Continent, through numerous sacrifices, finally slew the most powerful of the evil Evil God. The Evil God's corpse was split into seven parts: heart, head, limbs, and torso, which fell to different regions of this world."
"And that enormous body was covered by Ten-Thousand-Mile Glacier."
Ileta simply gave a brief account of what happened a thousand years ago, without delving into too many secrets.
But these things were enough to shock Inas and Florence.
A thousand years ago, a great battle took place between the native gods and the Evil God from beyond the realm? The most powerful Evil God was slain? Is this the Evil God's Torso?
This news was truly astonishing. No wonder, even just by getting close to the wreckage, the two of them could feel their bodies and souls being eroded and corrupted, and the eerie babbling was almost driving them mad.
Even after a thousand years, the remains of the Evil God still exert an corrosive force that is difficult for ordinary people to withstand.
Looking down, the fear in their eyes intensified.
Especially after sensing the chill emanating from the Evil God's Corpse, a bad premonition quickly grew in her heart. Unable to bear the oppression in her heart, Florence almost blurted out, "Could it be that this Evil God is attempting to resurrect?"
It's no wonder Florence made such a prediction.
According to the Daughter of Death, the remains of the Evil God have been left here for thousands of years, and during that time they have remained peaceful, obediently sealed by the ice.
But now, why is a raging ice storm sweeping across the entire duchy?
The sudden anomaly that makes people think of the resurgence of Evil God is quite normal.
Ileta frowned, a hint of disgust in her eyes. "Resurrection? Not quite."
"It's just that some special beings are trying to use the remains of Evil God to create some trouble."
This is also why Ileta is angry.
She learned of the existence of the Evil God's Corpse through some seemingly accidental circumstances. Because Qin Chu had absorbed the Evil God's Heart and right leg, she mistakenly believed that Qin Chu was collecting these, so she immediately informed Qin Chu of this.
However, she learned from Qin Chu and the Dark Witch that she had only been used by some more mysterious and bizarre being.
The other party's target was Qin Chu, and her actions could have extremely negative consequences for Qin Chu, which made Ileta very irritable.
Because of Antalia, Qin Chu could not stand idly by and watch the two million citizens of the Ice Grand Duchy perish in the icy wilderness. He would surely come to deal with the problem here, and at that time he would definitely devour the Evil God's Remnant Body.
This will only cause Qin Chu to sink deeper and deeper into the shackles set up by that mysterious being. Ileta cannot tolerate being used to bring disaster upon Qin Chu, so she came here personally, intending to use her own strength to quell the situation before Qin Chu arrives.
She knew, of course, that this action was extremely dangerous, but Ileta didn't care.
Some special existence? Ileta's strange description made Florence even more curious, and she subconsciously wanted to ask for clarification.
But Ileta interrupted her directly, "I cannot name that being... Your actions have already entangled you in these shackles, but there is still a possibility of extricating yourself. If you know more, you may also be noticed by that being, which would definitely not be a good thing for you, believe me."
Florence's ability to become a religious leader is undoubtedly due to her exceptional intelligence.
Although Ileta didn't explain it directly, she already understood a lot.
If even their names cannot be spoken directly, could there be any other being besides the gods?
Could it be that I and Inas have inadvertently become embroiled in a conflict between the gods?
Damn, this is a real problem.
Now, extricating oneself from this situation will likely not be an easy task.
Taking a deep breath, Florence suppressed her irritation. "Miss Ileta, please allow me to say one more thing."
"You just said we need treatment? Are you referring to the marks on our bodies?"
"That's right." Ileta nodded. "Those threads are proof of Evil God's Corruption ... Miss Florence, your son was corrupted into a monster because he was tainted by the Evil God's power. You should know very well what that means."
Florence was shocked; Ileta not only knew her name, but also the cause of her son's death.
It was as if I had witnessed it all firsthand.
"How did you know? Could it be...?"
"I was there at the time." Ileta stretched her arms and sighed softly. "I am the Death Witch, wielding the power of Death God, and I bear the responsibility of purifying all the souls of the dead on the Skyvault Continent."
"The front lines had just experienced a battle, and there were dead everywhere."
"And your son, though his soul is filthy, filled with filth and sin, was within the scope of purification. Unfortunately, his soul has been corrupted by the aura of the Evil God and can no longer be purified; in the end, it can only be burned."
Florence remained silent.
She had long known that her son had done many wrong and bad things, but being told by the Death Witch that her son's soul was filthy, filled with filth and sin, still made her feel somewhat depressed.
Although she had let it go, the re-enactment of those past events still brought a touch of sadness to her heart.
Inas took a deep breath and picked up where Florence left off. "You mean, the two of us will also become monsters like Onions?"
This is not a good thing.
"Yes, it's unavoidable without treatment. It's just a matter of how long it takes to endure it, depending on each person's strength, willpower, and ability. But believe me, fighting against the Evil God's Corruption and feeling your body and soul decay and rot day by day is definitely not a pleasant thing."
Florence suddenly looked up, but before she could speak Ileta spoke first, "I know what you want to say, but that's impossible. Your son's condition is extremely serious, and I don't think he would treat your son anyway."
Ileta's expression was somewhat strange. She glanced at the two of them again, scrutinizing them carefully. "The two of you, however, are possible."
Ileta's words made Inas and Florence increasingly puzzled; they felt that the Death Witch was speaking in a somewhat rambling and incoherent way.
Why can't Onions be healed, but the two of them can?
Is it due to the degree of erosion?
Or is it due to other reasons?
Who is the "he" she's talking about?
Although puzzled, Inas and Florence needed to find a cure as soon as possible, since neither of them wanted to become a monster.
They walk the path of redemption, and absolutely do not want to become monsters, committing further atrocities and completely destroying their own salvation.
Taking a deep breath, Florence suppressed her sorrow. The past was the past, and since she had chosen to move forward, she wouldn't look back. "Lady Ileta, could you tell us how to obtain treatment?"
"It's simple: find the only being on the Skyvault Continent who has received the Holy Light inheritance."
"Who?"
"Qin Chu."
Inas and Florence were also surprised to hear this name. They knew that Qin Chu was very strong and had mastered the power of Holy Light, but they did not know that Qin Chu had actually obtained the inheritance of the Goddess of Holy Light.
Florence looked suspicious. "Is it because of the conflict between my son and Qin Chu that he hasn't given my son treatment?"
Ileta's expression grew even stranger. She seemed unsure how to explain, her delicate fingers fidgeting with her long hair, a slight Crimson creeping onto her cheeks. "Uh... that's not the reason..."
"Mainly because... well, Qin Chu's treatment method... how should I put it, it's a little bit special."
"Only through sexual intercourse can Qin Chu infuse the power of Holy Light into both of your bodies, thus dispelling the Evil God's corruption from the inside out. Therefore..."
Here comes the second chapter, 4,000 words. It's been a long time since I've been back to my hometown; I've been constantly busy with social engagements, lol.
Chapter 522 The Earth Mother's Embrace
(4,000 characters)
Ha?
In an instant, Florence and Inas both exclaimed in surprise.
The two of them understood instantly.
It's precisely because I understood it instantly that it's even stranger. What... what is this all about?
How can such a strange treatment method exist in this world?
If the person who told them the news was someone else, not Ileta, or even Qin Chu himself, they would instinctively be suspicious... But Ileta didn't seem like the type to lie at all.
