The Goddess of Holy Light Is in Danger (Twelve Thousand Words)

Although he had previously become almost completely insane, Wadsworth is now showing extraordinary clarity, which is also the last time Wadsworth has ever been lucid in his life.

Speaking had become extremely difficult for him; a simple sentence caused the mass of flesh to heave violently, as if it were gasping for breath.

The stench of decay emanating from his body grew increasingly intense.

After catching his breath several times, Wadsworth seemed to have recovered somewhat, his eyes gazing at the sky above. "The Skyvault Continent is in terrible shape..."

"Brother, you're so smart, you must be able to see that this world is full of malice towards you, right?"

Qin Chu squatted quietly to the side, without answering.

But Wadsworth already knew the answer, "After all, I am the emperor of the empire... though I'm not exactly a competent one..."

"I will not make any more unreasonable demands on you. If you want to be emperor, then go ahead and be emperor."

"But, if possible, please don't hurt Carol..."

This was Wadsworth's final request.

He is very smart.

Now, no one on the entire Skyvault Continent can stop Qin Chu.

Qin Chu, Hero by nature and the Pope of both the Earth Mother Church and the Holy Church, wanted to become emperor, and no one could stop him... not to mention, he had two staunch supporters: the Exeter Kingdom and the Ice Grand Duchy.

Perhaps some people will have objections, such as those foolish nobles.

For example, his own foolish yet ambitious sons.

Although he had exiled them to the front lines against the Magic Creature, or assigned them to remote towns in the border regions, once they learned that he, the emperor, was dead and the throne was vacant, these sons would probably rush into the Imperial City and fight tooth and nail for the throne.

These people posed no obstacle to Qin Chu; he could crush them all with a flick of Qin Chu wrist.

Most importantly, Qin Chu has already demonstrated enough ruthlessness. Even if these sons do not compete for the throne, it is inevitable that once Qin Chu ascends the throne, he will purge the descendants left by the previous emperor. This is the rule, and no one will leave themselves a threat.

Carol was the only exception.

Wadsworth could tell that this Hero treated his somewhat eccentric daughter, who completely lacked the elegant and noble demeanor of a princess, quite well.

If one were to plead desperately at this time, perhaps a bloodline could still be preserved.

"Brother..."

Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "I like that girl very much too. I promise I won't hurt her, and I won't let anyone hurt her either."

"In the name of the Goddess of Holy Light, in the name of the Hero, in the name of Qin Chu!"

The sound wasn't loud, but Wadsworth was quite satisfied; a genuine smile of relief actually appeared on his rotting face.

He knew that although Qin Chu was ruthless, he would always keep his promises.

Wadsworth was very satisfied with this outcome, and as for other matters, he really didn't have much energy left to interfere.

I'm so tired.

Looking back on my life, from childhood to adulthood, even when I was still learning to speak, while other children were playing, I had to learn all sorts of things: Battle Qi, magic, and how to manage a country.

After reaching adulthood, he took over the empire and became the most powerful being among all humanity, enjoying the envy and worship of countless people. But in reality, intrigue and backstabbing were rampant everywhere.

He schemed against his ambitious sons, plotted against the nobles, and constantly clashed with the Pope.

They also had to worry about the war against Magic Creature and the possibility of their power being taken away.

He has hardly had a single day of peace in his entire life, and he has never had a good night's sleep.

Even the strongest body gets tired.

This time, I finally have a chance to rest properly and get a good night's sleep.

Once you fall asleep, you won't feel tired.

As for what the world will become afterward, that will no longer be of any concern to me.

"The Imperial Palace, my bedroom..." Wadsworth's eyes widened.

He was clearly using his willpower to force himself to express everything.

"Beneath the palace, there is a huge... arm... Don't touch it, don't."

"Beside his arm, there is... the battle Battle Qi passed down through generations of royalty, and... the Three Ruin Fists."

"I'll leave everything... to you, little brother."

This was Wadsworth's final instruction.

Although Qin Chu had promised him that he would take good care of Carol and not let anyone hurt her, Wadsworth still wanted to leave behind a little bit of protection, even though he could no longer figure out how effective such protection would actually be.

He hoped that Qin Chu would keep his promise, considering what he had left him.

After saying this, Wadsworth looked away from Qin Chu and gazed at the sky above, the blazing sunlight shining on Wadsworth.

The chill seemed to have dissipated from my body.

It was as if Wadsworth truly felt that warmth.

The smile on his decaying face grew ever wider and more radiant.

Until finally, the smile froze.

The expression on his face was frozen on that decaying smile, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes completely disappeared.

His body gradually turned into a puddle of thick water, seeping into the cold ground beneath him.

The reign of a powerful figure on the Skyvault Continent has come to an end!

Half a day has passed, and the previous chapter is finally unbanned. Many thanks to 35-year-old supporting his back and eating at the banquet for 1,500 coins and Si Gu's servant for the 600 coins reward. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 548 The Goddess of Holy Light in Danger (12,000 words)

Wadsworth has fallen.

This ambitious and ruthless man, who was determined to devour the Holy Church, the Earth Mother Church, wipe out all other countries on the Skyvault Continent, and become the ruler of the entire world, fell into the glacier and turned into thick water that seeped into the ground.

This ruthless tycoon's last thought before his death was not resentment at failing to achieve his goal, but rather a desire to protect his daughter.

Some say Wadsworth is arrogant, rude, and lacks any royal demeanor.

Some say Wadsworth is irritable, cruel, and like a mad dog.

Some people say that Wadsworth is stupid, incompetent, and like an idiot.

But who can truly know what the real Wadsworth looked like?

But none of that mattered to Wadsworth anymore. In the final moments of his life, Wadsworth only concern was for his daughter... and perhaps, in some ways, she was the child who most resembled Wadsworth?

Qin Chu could see the worry in Wadsworth's heart, and the oath he made to Wadsworth was not false.

Carol is not Qin Chu's enemy, and Qin Chu will not harm Carol.

Rather, as a current member of the Hero's Party, he might not be considered a very close partner, but he is definitely someone Qin Chu knows well. Qin Chu will protect Carol for that reason.

As for the throne of the emperor, Qin Chu had no interest whatsoever.

Qin Chu didn't care at all what the Empire and the Skyvault Continent would become in the future.

Standing up, Qin Chu stared at the gradually disappearing thick water on the ground, his body motionless like an old monk in deep meditation.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but Qin Chu finally let out a long sigh, waved his hand, and large patches of frozen earth floated up from the surrounding area, piling up to form a tomb on the spot where Wadsworth died.

That's a good way of putting him to rest.

Stopping his thoughts on these things, Qin Chu turned and walked back to the side of the Evil God's Remnant Body.

The process of devouring the Evil God's Corpse was interrupted, and now only a small portion of the Evil God's Corpse.

As strength grows, abilities, authority, and power in all aspects increase significantly.

The efficiency of dismembering the Evil God's Remnant Body by Decomposition Divinity and Gluttony Divinity is greatly increased.

The Limit Absorption was also rapidly digesting these powers, consolidating Qin Chu's strength and realm, while the excess energy was absorbed by the Earth Mother Eunibena.

The Sapling' originally withered and yellow leaves are gradually turning green again, one by one.

On the other side, above the ice field.

A tall, graceful, and beautiful woman was walking slowly on the broken ice.

She seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The image was hazy and dreamlike, obscuring the true beauty of the face. All that could be seen was a graceful figure and long, flowing golden hair that billowed behind her like clouds in a storm.

Even a glimpse of a figure shrouded in mist can evoke a breathtaking beauty.

It has nothing to do with appearance, and you can't see appearance.

It was a mysterious beauty, a beauty that made people want to explore and understand it.

The same golden eyes gazed at the surrounding ruins; the once beautiful ice field was now a desolate wasteland.

The little hand gently reached out, as if wanting to touch the sky above, wanting to feel something; the golden pupils seemed to be able to pierce through the clouds and glimpse the mystery and wonder of the deepest Void.

The woman's presence, sometimes elusive, seemed to emanate a melancholic and repressed aura.

This is normal.

No matter who it is, witnessing disasters repeatedly over thousands or tens of thousands of years would likely not be a pleasant experience.

No one can relax when carrying such a terrifying burden on their shoulders.

Just as she said.

Fate is mysterious and unpredictable.

No one can truly control their Fate.

She couldn't do it, the Fate Weaver couldn't do it, and even the once most powerful Evil God couldn't do it.

What they could glimpse was only a hazy picture, yet one in which countless futures overlapped.

Time is mysterious, and the future that time extends into is even more complex and terrifying.

The present moment is like a point, from which countless threads extend, each representing a future. And as these threads extend to the next point, they also give rise to even more threads leading to the future.

These dots are more numerous than the sands in the desert.

These lines are more intricate than the stars in the sky.

As the Goddess of Fate, she could only try her best to separate the tangled threads and find the one with the most hope.

All she could find was an opportunity.

All she could do was try to make the opportunity as big as possible.

As for whether the path I've chosen can truly bring hope to the Skyvault Continent, to be honest, I don't know.

No one can know what the future holds.

But at least, it was a victory.

The Lord of Pleasure is dead.

The female half of the Lord of Pleasure had also been devoured by him.

That guy might see me as a shameless thief who steals the spoils of victory and steals kills, right? Whatever, Moirai doesn't care.

Under the watchful eyes of the Seven Uglies of the Void, she plotted for over a thousand years, almost squeezing her own mental energy to the point of near exhaustion in order to increase her chances of killing the Lord of Pleasure. Moirai felt that she had made an indelible contribution, and even a small reward would be perfectly acceptable.

After all, this was the first time she had received a reward in a long time.

A soft humming sound seemed to come from Moirai's mouth; it was hard to tell if he was laughing.

Moreover, the Lord of Pleasure is, after all, a genuine god.

Devouring the Lord of Pleasure would not be an easy task. If Qin Chu hadn't taken one half, he would never have been able to devour both halves at the same time; one half would have surely escaped.

If the Lord of Pleasure cannot be completely eradicated, the consequences will be unimaginably severe.

In fact, no matter who it is, Moirai, as the Goddess of Fate, can glimpse their Fate in a blur.

Only Qin Chu was an exception... His future was as unclear as a fog.

Having confirmed this, Moirai understood that Qin Chu was definitely an extraordinary being, and chose to entrust the Fate of the Skyvault Continent to Qin Chu.

Qin Chu's performance did not disappoint him.
