Chapter 527 The Grand Distribution of Transcendent Authority Begins
(4,000 characters)
Although the aura emanating from Inas was faint, it undoubtedly came from the remains of the Strongest Evil God.
Previously, King Oswald of the Ice Grand Duchy had told me that shortly after the disaster struck the Ice Grand Duchy, two powerful women entered the kingdom, inquired about the general situation, and then, disregarding all obstacles, ventured into the glacier.
Could it be that those two were Inas and Florence?
From this perspective, it appears that the two of them have come into contact with the Evil God's Remnant Body and have suffered some harm.
And who was that woman who seemed like a mad dog yet was incredibly powerful?
It's impossible for such a powerful expert to suddenly appear out of nowhere in this world. I've never even heard of such a thing in my previous life, let alone in this one.
Not long ago, he had just eliminated an international friend who was suspected to have been summoned to the Skyvault Continent before him... That was Hero even earlier than Qin Chu and Jello. Qin Chu even suspected that the guy might be the original Hero.
Qin Chu destroyed the guy's body, but did not kill him.
Just as the Hero from that comfortable place said, he couldn't kill him. There was no soul in that body; it was more like a puppet, an avatar.
Not long after, they encountered another powerful opponent of the same level. Was this a coincidence?
Qin Chu didn't believe that there were so many coincidences in the world; so-called coincidences were more like arrangements of Fate.
Many strange thoughts surged through Qin Chu's mind in a short period of time, but he did not show them, nor did he offer to treat Inas.
As someone who absorbed the heart and right leg of the Strongest Evil God, the tiny bit of Evil God's Corruption on Inas posed no threat to Qin Chu. He could easily purify Inas in less than three minutes.
However, there's no need for that.
Although Inas is nominally a member of the new Hero's Party, his relationship with Inas isn't very good.
They were enemies before, and things only eased slightly after Onions died.
Inas, standing next to him, also blushed slightly. Hearing what Qin Chu had just said, she instinctively wanted to explain, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
I must have been out of my mind just now; how could I have thought Qin Chu was a gentleman?
Does this man, who is always surrounded by a large number of beautiful girls, have anything to do with being a gentleman?
However, perhaps because of the Greater Healing cast by Qin Chu, the wounds on his body were gradually healing, the broken bones were slowly reconnecting, and as the pain gradually dissipated, he even felt a warm sensation.
This feeling made Inas feel very comfortable.
Just then, a light footstep sound came from behind, and Antasia finally walked over. See? Wherever Qin Chu appears, there are bound to be beautiful girls.
He glanced around suspiciously before his gaze settled on Inas. After all, Inas was a new member of the Hero's Party, so he knew him at least.
"Inas, what's going on here?"
Antasia's voice finally startled Inas awake. Her muscular body shuddered. The former saintess finally remembered the important responsibilities she bore and couldn't let her chaotic thoughts waste too much time.
The flush on her face faded quickly.
Inas instinctively took a step towards Qin Chu, his large eyes fixed on Qin Chu: "Hero, something has happened deep within the glacier! My mother, Florence, and Miss Ileta are in grave danger..."
Qin Chu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously interrupted Inas: "Ileta?"
"Ileta is over there too?"
This was something Qin Chu had not anticipated at all.
Inas nodded vigorously, wanting to tell Qin Chu about the situation deep inside the glacier.
Unfortunately, a different commotion came from the other side.
The bloated woman who had been sent flying by Qin Chu's punch was wriggling her fat body, struggling to get up from the ground. Her mouth was even crooked from the blow.
Puff.
A mouthful of blood mixed with saliva spurted from her mouth, interspersed with a few white particles—her teeth.
As the pain spread through her mouth, the woman's face grew increasingly fierce and contorted.
She didn't utter a single word, as if she had lost the ability to speak; only her eyes were filled with cruel malice.
That gaze was like that of a jackal, a falcon, or a venomous snake.
It just doesn't resemble a human.
Dragging his bloodied body across the ice, a long trail of crimson marks followed behind him.
Upon seeing this woman again, Inas's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Although he now had a powerful Hero by his side, the shock this woman had given Inas was simply too profound.
Qin Chu waved his hand, signaling the two women to step back slightly.
Without knowing anything about this woman's background, Qin Chu wouldn't allow Inas and Antasia to get too close to the heart of the battlefield.
"Be careful, this woman is very strong." As they retreated, Inas couldn't help but give a final word of caution.
Qin Chu nodded silently.
Time passed second by second, and the bloated woman approached Qin Chu step by step, the madness in her eyes growing stronger as they drew closer.
Finally, just as the two got close enough, the crazed woman suddenly raised her hands, which had been hanging naturally at her sides, and pressed them against her stomach.
Qin Chu simply watched quietly from beginning to end.
He wanted to know just how bizarre this woman's methods were.
The next instant, splat!
Accompanied by that strange, teeth-grinding sound, the woman's ten fingers pierced ten bloody holes directly into her stomach.
The bizarre scene made Qin Chu's lips twitch slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled hard to both sides with both hands, forcefully spreading open his own belly.
A large amount of clear, viscous pus gushed out from inside the abdomen. A very small amount of the pus fell onto the ice, immediately making a strange hissing sound. Thick white mist rose from the glacier, which had been frozen for thousands of years.
The fishy, foul odor quickly spread.
More of the mucus floated in mid-air in a bizarre way, completely enveloping the woman's body like a fetal membrane.
Qin Chu remained motionless; instead, his eyes widened even further.
Although the slime looked very strange, he could sense that it was energy... filled with a slightly sinister and eerie energy, so concentrated that it even transformed into a viscous liquid.
She used the woman's belly as a storage device.
And now, this mysterious and eerie woman is absorbing and digesting this energy at a terrifying speed.
On the surface of the woman's body, every pore turned into a tiny vortex, and under the violent rotation, the liquid energy on the surface of her body was being rapidly devoured.
The energy that was originally round and plump like a giant column of jelly quickly shriveled up. In less than half a minute, only a thin, cicada-wing-like membrane remained, sticking to the woman's body surface.
In stark contrast, the woman's body seemed to swell up under this absorption, becoming even more robust and more than doubling in strength. She went from being a minor character she could easily crush to a slightly troublesome opponent.
This scene filled Qin Chu with suspicion and uncertainty.
What kind of ability is this?
He could sense just how incredible the energy that had just liquefied was. Even if he exerted all his strength, Gluttony Divinity, Devourer, and even with the Sapling within him constantly stealing experience, it would be absolutely impossible to digest such a large amount of energy in such a short time. How did this woman manage to do it?
Could it be that this woman possesses some kind of special power?
Qin Chu was a little excited.
He's the kind of person who never refuses anyone; what's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine...
After all, one thing that has been troubling Qin Chu is that although he has absorbed the Evil God's Heart into his body, the speed at which he digests the energy contained within them is actually very slow.
If the power this woman possesses truly has this special effect of accelerating energy absorption and digestion... then I absolutely have to snatch it!
Waste is shameful.
Qin Chu was energized, and his smile grew even brighter.
Even though this mysterious woman had lost her reason and ability to think, Qin Chu's strange smile still puzzled her.
She took Qin Chu's bright smile as a provocation and became even Wrath.
His thick legs bent, and the next second, with a bang, the ice beneath his feet cracked, and his body, propelled by the shockwave, rushed towards Qin Chu at a speed more terrifying than a cannonball.
The fingernails on both hands are growing rapidly, becoming as sharp as knives.
The light reflected off the ice was dazzling and chilling.
Qin Chu's muscles bulged as he unleashed a furious right punch to meet the sharp claws.
Bang...
The shockwaves exploded layer by layer.
His fist was imbued with Holy Flame, and the blows caused the woman's palms to crack and bleed.
Below the level of Demigod, Qin Chu is invincible; above the Demigod, if Qin Chu were to truly risk his life, he might be able to trade one for one.
Even if she absorbed that astonishing energy and her strength doubled, as long as this woman hadn't reached the Demigod realm, she was no match for Qin Chu, and the gap between them still existed.
The Holy Flame is burning on the woman's arm.
But the flames did not cause any harm to the woman.
Seeing the woman's strange behavior, I initially thought she might have been corrupted by the aura of Evil God, and that the Holy Flame was most effective against such evil.
But now it seems that this woman has not been Evil God's Corruption.
That strange ability was actually the woman's own power.
Taking advantage of the woman's screams, Qin Chu spread his arms wide, and huge fireballs crashed down towards him like madmen.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Glaciers crack and melt, releasing intense heat that spreads across the ice.
The intense heat generated by the Skyfire Meteor was too much for even this woman to withstand, leaving large patches of charred skin.
The woman's body was bathed in flames. The intense heat couldn't kill her, but it caused her unbearable pain. Amidst screams, a long spear appeared in the woman's palm, and with a whoosh, she hurled it at Qin Chu.
With a light tap of his toes, the spear grazed past him and pierced the ice behind Qin Chu, disappearing instantly. It was impossible to tell how deep it had penetrated.
Just then, on the already tattered ice, transparent tentacles rapidly crawled out.
The woman only felt threatened when these strange tentacles crawled onto her body.
On its charred and ugly face, its mouth suddenly opened, grabbing three or four tentacles and shoving them inside. With a snap of its shark-like teeth, the three or four tentacles were bitten off.
This scene surprised even Qin Chu.
The Devourer's Power—this was the first time since Qin Chu mastered this power that it had been dealt with in such a bizarre way.
This woman's mouth seemed capable of crushing anything, whether tangible or intangible.
But if that's all there is to it, then trying to fight the Devourer is clearly wishful thinking.
The severed tentacles quickly retracted and were restored in the blink of an eye. The next second, twice the number of tentacles swarmed forward.
This strange woman bit off three or four pieces in one go, just like before.
However, unlike the others, several other tentacles took the opportunity to climb onto the woman's body, immediately transforming into ropes that wrapped around her repeatedly.
The inside of the tentacles was covered with strange suckers that clung to the woman's body. The Devourer's powers were immediately activated, and it began to frantically absorb energy from the woman's body.
Although completely irrational, the woman clearly felt threatened.
Her eyes widened, her body writhed violently, and her arms tore wildly, grabbing a tentacle wrapped around her and ripping it to pieces.
However, the woman could sever the tentacles much faster than they could regenerate.
More and more tentacles crawled all over the woman's body, and almost every second a large amount of energy was being lost from her body.
This was an absolutely terrible situation for the woman; the loss of strength directly slowed down her resistance.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Devourer: even if you can initially resist its absorption, the balance will eventually be broken as the balance diminishes.
If this woman still had reason and wisdom, perhaps she could have come up with a way to break out of her current predicament. Unfortunately, the woman she is now is just a madwoman.
Qin Chu's eyes were even more serious as she carefully sensed everything being absorbed from the woman's body.
Energy, power.
