Sea of Desire

(4,000 characters)

Who knows?

It was still just a vague response.

However, this was the first time the Goddess of Fate had publicly revealed her existence and voice.

This battle was never a war between the most powerful humans, such as the Little Saya, and the Lord of Pleasure from the very beginning. The Goddess of Fate was involved from the start, in a way that no one but the Lord of Pleasure could even see.

The Lord of Pleasure's words, along with that mysterious voice, made these humans aware that the Goddess of Fate truly existed.

Perhaps, even the Goddess of Fate is someone we should be wary of.

But at least for now, this goddess is on his side as a teammate.

Having a divine teammate allowed these people, who were on the verge of despair, to finally glimpse a sliver of hope again.

The Lord of Pleasure scoffed at the Goddess of Fate's answer:

"Playing tricks!"

The Lord of Pleasure seemed to feel something was amiss after saying that, since Moirai was truly a genuine goddess, and there was no question of her pretending to be a goddess.

"The Fate you've glimpsed, whose fate is it truly entangled with?"

The Lord of Pleasure raised an eyebrow, withdrawing his gaze from the people around him.

"It shouldn't be these people..." His gaze returned to Qin Chu, who was still tightly enveloped by the Earth Mother: "Could it be this person?"

"To actually place your hopes on outsiders, the gods of your Skyvault Continent are truly pathetic and laughable."

"If I kill this person, what will your Fate be like? Does this prove that you, this so-called Goddess of Fate, are just an illusion, and that you have no control over Fate at all?"

These words shocked everyone.

Little Saya, Antia, Adelina, Ileta, and the others instinctively moved closer to Qin Chu's location.

You can give it a try.

The voice of the Goddess of Fate vanished from the Void, and even the two golden eyes in the Sky Curtain gradually disappeared.

That treacherous woman, once again, lurked in the cracks that others could hardly see.

The first round of clashes between the two sides has come to an end. Despite the all-out attacks of numerous human experts, they failed to inflict the slightest damage on the Lord of Pleasure.

The outcome of continuing the fight seemed to be beyond doubt, but the Lord of Pleasure could feel a growing restlessness rising within him.

After all, the longer the delay continues, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.

His strength has been steadily declining, but because his power is already immense, this decline is not obvious, yet this fact cannot be changed.

What frustrated the Lord of Pleasure even more was that there had been no news from his other companions in the Void until now.

The Fate Weaver should have noticed the changes here; they should have torn apart the Sky Curtain sealing the world immediately, instead of remaining completely silent until now.

Suddenly, a very bad premonition arose in the Lord of Pleasure's heart. Could it be... that something had happened in the Void as well?

Could this be Moirai's real plan?

Although the Lord of Pleasure's tone was full of mockery towards Moirai, he actually took this Lord of Pleasure very seriously.

These beings, capable of spying on and even controlling, to some extent, altering Fate, are incredibly eerie and terrifying. You never know when they might meticulously create a terrible trap for you.

The process has really dragged on for far too long.

Without further hesitation, the Lord of Pleasure's gaze snapped towards Qin Chu.

When he looked over again, the Lord of Pleasure realized that something was clearly wrong with Qin Chu's situation.

The red moonlight that had been washing over and eroding Eunibena's defenses had long been dispelled, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Eunibena — Cynthia, who had taken over Angelica's body.

Cynthia was not involved in the conflict that just occurred.

Cynthia's situation is different from that of the Ice Goddess. The Ice Goddess has completely perished, leaving not even a remnant soul. Only the Ice Authority still inherits the Ice Goddess's obsession.

Antasia was merely using the remaining energy of the Ice Goddess and the Ice Witch to fight against the Lord of Pleasure, influenced by the obsession of the Ice Goddess.

However, Cynthia still retains a remnant of her soul, and this Moon Goddess still possesses the ability to think.

Cynthia didn't know what Moirai's real plan was, but when she saw Eunibena willing to let her already broken body and soul suffer the corruption and damage of the Lord of Pleasure in order to protect Qin Chu, Cynthia already understood that Qin Chu was definitely the most important link in the Goddess of Fate's plan.

This alone is enough to establish the importance of Qin Chu.

Therefore, Cynthia did not confront the Lord of Pleasure. Instead, while the others, including Little Saya, were entangled with the Lord of Pleasure, she purified and cleansed the red moonlight.

This completely frees Eunibena from the oppression of the Lord of Pleasure.

Qin Chu, who had been well protected by Eunibena, was clearly at a critical moment for a breakthrough.

Powerful shockwaves emanated from the tree trunk, leaving the ground where the World Tree was originally rooted suspended in mid-air. The surrounding ice and the frozen soil below were all shattered by the energy emanating from the World Tree.

At this very moment, the World Tree, the avatar of Eunibena, is in an extremely strange state.

Within the tree trunk, the power of Qin Chu spread, but this power formed two completely different types.

On one side, there was intense darkness.

It exudes a chilling, eerie quality that drives the soul to the brink of madness and destruction.

The darkness was like rolling dark clouds, or like a large, rotting piece of flesh that emitted a strong stench but was still writhing.

Large amounts of slime flowed continuously into the darkness, falling onto the ground deep below, immediately producing a hissing sound, and thick white mist churned.

Even the Lord of Pleasure felt an indescribable tremor and fear deep within his heart when he glimpsed that dense darkness, and inexplicable murmurs seemed to echo in his ears.

It sounded like a desperate roar, or a strange, twisted screech.

The lips of the Lord of Pleasure were constantly moving.

He knew perfectly well that Qin Chu was hidden within that tree trunk, a scheme left behind by the Goddess of Fate, Moirai.

But at that very moment, He still felt as if He could glimpse that tall, magnificent, and terrifying figure again... Even though a thousand years had passed, the fear left by the Father God was like a brand, forever etched into His soul.

His body was even trembling. In that instant, the Lord of Pleasure had an extremely strange, even terrifying thought: Could it be... that the Father God wanted to use Qin Chu's body to resurrect himself?

At that moment, the desire to kill Qin Chu in the Lord of Pleasure's heart reached an unprecedented limit.

In any case, the rebirth of the Father God must be stopped.

On the other side of Qin Chu, however, lay a sanctity that was the complete opposite of darkness.

A milky white luster spreads lightly, seemingly bringing a sense of calm and warmth wherever it goes.

There was no chaos, no screams, no roars, no eerie murmurs; only a gentle and tranquil sound, like a lullaby.

This is the power of the Goddess of Holy Light.

Two diametrically opposed forces are colliding most fiercely within Qin Chu's body.

For Qin Chu, breaking free from his shackles and becoming Demigod is not difficult.

In his previous life, Qin Chu had already successfully entered the realm of Demigod, so he had prior experience.

This life should have been easier, but Qin Chu spent a very long time and still couldn't take that step. The reason for this was the irreconcilable conflict between the Goddess of Holy Light and the Strongest Evil God.

At this moment, Qin Chu was clearly exerting all his strength in an attempt to merge these two forces together.

However, the difficulty involved was unimaginable. Whenever Qin Chu manipulated two completely different forces to collide, there was an immediate and intense repulsion. Each collision released terrifying energy, and even the World Tree itself was almost unable to withstand the damage from this force, with large cracks appearing on its trunk.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The collision continues, and energy continues to spread.

Each roar was like a heavy iron hammer, slamming into the heart of the Lord of Pleasure.

Two different energies, one black and one white, were reflected deep within the eyes of the Lord of Pleasure. He was unwilling to admit it, but He knew that this strange sight had instilled in Him an indescribable fear.

He was unwilling to wait and entangle any longer... even though, given his current physical condition, forcibly unleashing his strongest power would cause him some damage.

But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that.

Having made his decision, the Lord of Pleasure no longer hesitated and suddenly took a step forward.

The instant the foot landed, a purplish-pink light followed the ground along the sole of the foot and spread rapidly forward, instantly turning everything left on the ground into a thick fog filled with the aura of Desire.

Everything on the ground, even the hard stones, turned into flowing liquid.

However, it is fundamentally different from things like magma. It is like a deep ocean where countless figures writhe, some male and some female, intertwined together.

The masculine roars and the feminine whispers spread like music all around.

Sea of Desire.

The Lord of Pleasure an extremely powerful ability; once engulfed by the Sea of Desire, no living being can escape.

He is eroding Qin Chu in this way, and once Qin Chu's will is affected by the Sea of Desire, their advancement process will inevitably be disrupted.

At that point, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the two completely out-of-control, diametrically opposed energies would easily tear Qin Chu to shreds, leaving not even a trace of his soul.

The Sea of Desire surged and rushed towards Qin Chu, Eunibena, and Cynthia.

Big Saya, Little Saya, Antia, Antasia, Athena, and the others, including Adelina and Ileta, were not directly affected by the Sea of Desire.

Even a glimpse of the Sea of Desire can be enough to cause its erosion.

A blush instantly spread across their exquisitely beautiful faces.

Her already beautiful face became even more radiant at this moment.

Her exquisitely beautiful body trembled slightly, her pearly teeth biting her lips as she tried her best to control herself from making any unpleasant noises.

Reason is struggling with Desire.

This is because of Moirai's arrangement that the Lord of Pleasure is temporarily unable to use the power of a true god. Otherwise, once the Sea of Desire appears, these girls would have no room to struggle and would have succumbed instantly.

In matters of Desire, the Lord of Pleasure is absolutely tyrannical.

Ugh!

A chill spread.

A vast expanse of icy white blocked the way ahead of the Sea of Desire.

A slender young girl and a tall goddess behind her, both with their arms outstretched.

It's Antasia.

The energy of ice condensed into a massive iceberg before them, attempting to stem the spread of the Sea of Desire.

Although her body, and even her soul, had been corrupted by the Sea of Desire, Antasia never forgot that right behind her was her most important lover.

No matter what, she would never let her lover get hurt, absolutely not.

This unwavering conviction transcended everything else.

Antasia showed no restraint; she was using an almost self-destructive method to unleash the energy contained within the Ice Authority, even though her body was nearly shattered by this terrifying energy flow.

The iceberg is spreading and expanding rapidly.

In a short period of time, it has expanded into a huge iceberg that is several thousand meters long, several hundred meters high, and more than ten meters thick.

Soon, a hazy, cool luster appeared on the iceberg.

Angelica's figure also appeared beside Antasia, her small hand landing on the iceberg. The power of the Moon Goddess Cynthia was also being released, making the iceberg even more solid.

On either side of Angelica and Antasia, the Little Saya also appeared. The Dark Coffin stood in front of the iceberg in another form, becoming yet another barrier against the Sea of Desire.

In the sky, countless metal chains danced like venomous snakes around Antia's body, and the spear in her hand, with its tattered flag hanging from it, tore through the night sky like a meteor, piercing straight towards the Lord of Pleasure.

Natia swung her hands down, and two shooting stars fell from the Void at the same time.

The magic of Athena, Adelina, Ileta also appeared from different directions.

All of these girls sprang into action at this moment.

They used different methods, but their goal was surprisingly consistent: to stop the Lord of Pleasure from corrupting Qin Chu.

This is the only thing that absolutely cannot be allowed.

A Wrath roar even echoed in the air.

Despite losing his head and heart, Wadsworth somehow managed to get back up from the ground. On his torn neck, countless strands twisted together, barely forming the shape of a human head.

All the power in his body was concentrated in his right arm, which was now just bones and could barely support the energy. Cracks appeared on the bones.

The Three Ruin Fists, the fourth punch... Annihilation!
