Divine Punishment

They didn't even have time to explain to others what they had perceived.

Just as the two were about to make their move, a small hand blocked their way—it was Angelica.

"Please take me with you, both of you." A slightly unfamiliar voice came from Angelica's cherry lips.

Big Saya was slightly taken aback, then quickly realized what he meant, her Crimson eyes narrowing into slits. "You're not Angelica?"

"That's right, I am now the Moon Goddess, Cynthia."

Cynthia stretched lazily over the body she had just occupied. Having been without a physical form for so long, Cynthia seemed a little unaccustomed to it.

Golden eyes gazed into the depths of the north, looking at the most vibrant color in the sky:

"It's time for this wisp of my remnant soul to ignite!"

Chapter 536 Divine Punishment

(4,000 characters)

It's time for this wisp of my soul to burn!

When she uttered those words, Angelica... no, it was the Moon Goddess Cynthia was unusually calm.

As someone who participated in the War of the Gods a thousand years ago, Cynthia understood better than the other girls, such as Little Saya, Antia, Ieta, Atris, and Heloren, just how terrifying the power of the Evil God truly was.

The remaining seven Evil God, while far less powerful than the Strongest Evil God, were still beings that ordinary gods could not contend with.

Moreover, Cynthia is now just a remnant soul.

How much heat can a wisp of a burning soul release?

When this war ends, perhaps even the last wisp of a soul will perish completely.

But in Cynthia's eyes, there was no fear, no despair, only a will to fight to the very last moment, a will that could not be distorted even if mountains and rivers were shattered and the stars were turned upside down.

In Cynthia's view, perhaps this was the true meaning of her remaining soul's existence in the world.

Complete death was by no means a terrible thing for her... The responsibility that had been weighing heavily on her shoulders could finally disappear with this war.

She will eventually find complete liberation.

I wonder if there will ever be a chance to reunite with the Fire God, the Sun God, the Ice God, and the Death God. If we could reunite and exchange another word, that would be the best thing ever.

There were no more regrets in my heart.

Cynthia gently raised her small hand and stretched it into the air, as if trying to catch something.

But in the end, it drooped down somewhat weakly.

Cynthia turned around immediately, the slight sadness on her face vanishing in an instant. Her beautiful eyes now held an unyielding will that no one could change or destroy. Her gaze returned to Little Saya and her brother. "Don't worry."

"Although I can only use Angelica's body now... it's with Angelica's consent."

"Moreover, no matter what, I will absolutely protect Angelica. Even if my own soul is scattered, I will not let Angelica be harmed."

This is Cynthia's guarantee.

"After all, although we haven't known each other for long and have only met once, I think I know Qin Chu quite well. That guy really spoils this little maid."

"If something were to happen to this little girl, another Evil God might emerge on the Skyvault Continent, and that's not the kind of scene I want to see."

The two Saya exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Cynthia's will cannot be changed.

Since that was the case, neither Little Saya refused anymore.

Antia, Ieta, Heloise, and Atris all gathered around, the girls frowning.

They didn't know what was happening, but they could at least feel the violent tremors beneath their feet, like the tremors of an earthquake, and the pervasive purplish-red hue from the depths of the north.

"Is there a problem on Qin Chu's side?" Antia asked quietly, her voice tinged with suppressed emotion. A spear was already in her palm, and the tattered flag fluttered in the wind.

Without a doubt, as one of Qin Chu's strongest bodyguards, Antia would definitely be there for him should Qin Chu encounter any danger.

However, this time, both Little Saya and Saya rejected her.

The two of them sensed it more clearly. Although the exact situation deep in the north was still unclear, at least one thing was certain: the danger there was beyond what Antia and her companion could handle.

"No, you all stay here and don't go anywhere."

"The three of us will go to Qin Chu's side; you all are responsible for protecting this country."

"Antia, you don't want Qin Chu and Antasia to return to a dilapidated city, a city reduced to ruins, do you?"

"Trust us, whatever the situation over there may be, we can handle it."

Antia's brow furrowed even more deeply.

She doesn't talk much.

Qin Chu and Saya usually handle all the arrangements for daily matters, and Antia rarely thinks about them, but that doesn't mean Antia is stupid.

She could sense that this situation was completely different from any other time before.

She believed that Little Saya's strength far surpassed her own.

Big Saya's strength is now no less than his own.

But this time, she will not back down.

"The task of protecting this city can be left to Heloise, Ieta, and Atris," Antia said quietly.

These three women are all Magic Creature.

Leaving three Magic Creature here is, to be honest, a bit dangerous.

But so what?

Antia no longer had the energy to care about so much.

If Qin Chu were to encounter some danger, or even die... then what would become of this world, and what would that have to do with him?

Moreover, since following Qin Chu and devouring the blood and heart of the Strongest Evil God, Antia has also gained many benefits.

Now, her strength is already formidable enough.

Although she couldn't compare to Little Saya, she wouldn't be inferior to any other being. Antia was certain that going with her would be of use.

Sensing Antia's will, Big Saya finally sighed helplessly. Qin Chu's situation was extremely critical, and she could no longer linger here.

After giving her some instructions, Big Saya unfurled the magic scroll and disappeared from the palace with Little Saya, Antia, and Cynthia.

On the other side, on the glacier, a figure seemed to be walking.

The figure was indistinct and blurry.

Like a thin mist.

A glimpse of her graceful figure could be made through the blur.

At first glance, it might even look like a ghost.

Yet, this figure possessed none of the sinister or eerie qualities one would expect from a ghost; instead, it exuded emptiness, indifference, and even elegance and nobility.

Suddenly, the figure slowly raised its arm, seemingly towards the sky above.

"The War of the Gods is about to begin again..."

On the glacier, faint whispers drifted on the cold wind.

Our gaze returns to the depths of the glacier.

The Lord of Pleasure still stood facing off against Eunibena, the Earth Mother who was shrouded in Qin Chu.

An elegant smile remained on the face of this deity from beginning to end. To Him, this seemed not to be a war, but a relaxed and joyful ball.

The crimson moonlight continued to surge forward like a tide.

The moonlight did not envelop Ileta, Antasia, Inas, and Florence; these four girls were not the target of the attack, and in the eyes of the Lord of Pleasure, these women were simply not present.

However, when the moonlight shines down, when they subconsciously glimpse it, they are still inevitably affected by it.

One by one, the bodies lay on the ice, writhing uncontrollably.

They are desperately trying to maintain their will, not wanting their consciousness to succumb to the erosion and torment of Desire.

But clearly, this is not an easy task.

Swish...

The crimson moonlight had already washed over the Earth Mother Eunibena.

It appeared to be nothing more than a layer of light, utterly harmless and without any threat or destructive power.

But at this moment, Eunibena showed a completely different reaction. The branches and trunk were shaking violently, and the originally smooth trunk was covered with one after another, like tree knots, which were densely packed together and seemed to form a solid shield.

Sizzle!

The red light collided with the tumor-like growths on the tree trunk, producing a strange sound.

The leaves rustled.

Large swaths of leaves visibly turned yellow and withered quickly, some even falling from the branches.

The tumor-like growths on the tree trunk were instantly washed away, with a layer being washed off.

A thick, scarlet liquid began to flow down the surface of the tree trunk.

But this was just the beginning. The crimson moonlight did not just wash over the rocks once and then stop. The moonlight was like chaotic waves crashing against the reefs, one after another, without end.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, large wisps of fine dust began to drift into the sky.

This fighting style is extremely bizarre. It doesn't look intense at all, lacking any grand, earth-shattering scenes, yet it exudes a chilling, oppressive fear in its silence.

Eunibena is one of the most powerful gods on the entire Skyvault Continent, second only to the Goddess of Holy Light.

If Eunibena were at his peak, he might not be a match for the Lord of Pleasure, and at least he wouldn't be so completely suppressed as he is now.

But at this moment, Eunibena was far too weak.

Under the corrosive crimson moonlight, Eunibena was forced to endure it; she had no chance to resist whatsoever.

In a short time, a thick layer of the tree trunk had been scraped off by the red light, and the originally thick trunk had become thinner.

Even Eunibena couldn't withstand this situation for long. Once the tree trunk was broken and Qin Chu inside was exposed, Qin Chu, who had not yet become Demigod, would probably be instantly killed by the Lord of Pleasure.

At this moment, the branches began to writhe, as if Eunibena wanted to control them, as if vines were weaving a shield in front of him.

But the Lord of Pleasure clearly didn't want to give Eunibena that opportunity.

Behind him, long purple hair began to flutter.

Driven by a mysterious force, these hairs began to grow and spread like wildfire.

His hair turned into venomous snakes.

Red, purple, black, green...

Every single hair was so vibrant.

Amidst indescribable danger, there is also a captivating beauty.

One after another, venomous snakes opened their mouths, revealing their cold, sharp fangs in their dark oral cavity. They then twisted their increasingly long bodies, accompanied by eerie hisses, and snaked toward the distant Earth Mother Eunibena.

But just as these venomous snakes had extended halfway, a sudden change occurred.

Buzz... Rumble...

A stone wall at least one meter thick suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the snake's path.

Then, the second side, the third side, the fourth side...

Thirteen stone walls appeared one after another, blocking the venomous snake. Each stone wall was at least one meter thick. Together, the thirteen stone walls formed a huge barrier, attempting to stop the long hair extending from the Lord of Pleasure's head.

This scene clearly displeased the Lord of Pleasure.

His narrow eyes swept across the room and landed on the woman lying on the ground, panting heavily, her face flushed.

It was Florence, with barely enough willpower, tried to stop the Lord of Pleasure from attacking Qin Chu.
