Preparing to Make a Move on Rosweisse

Carol swayed suddenly, but she quickly regained her balance, taking a deep breath through her nose to barely suppress the pain and sorrow in her chest.

In that instant, the princess displayed unimaginable strength. "Where is the Evil God?"

"Kill him."

"Did my father die in a battle against Evil God?"

"Yes."

"That's good." A slight smile appeared on Carol's face, but her small hands unconsciously clenched tightly. "I know. My father did too many wrong things in his life, especially recently. To die in the fight against the Evil God, to die in the war to protect the Skyvault Continent, that was his last act of dignity. I shouldn't be sad; I should be proud of him."

Did my father leave any instructions?

"Beneath his palace lies the arm of an Evil God, along with royal-inherited Battle Qi and the cultivation manual for the Three Ruin Fists." Qin Chu didn't hide anything. "Don't approach the arm of the Evil God; it's too dangerous for you. I will retrieve the Battle Qi and the Three Ruin Fists and give them to you."

This Battle Qi and the Three Ruin Fists are things that only the heir to the throne can learn, but Carol clearly has no interest in them.

"Did he say who he would pass the throne to?" Carol asked softly.

Qin Chu shook his head. "No, he doesn't seem to want his children to get involved in power struggles again. Being an emperor isn't easy."

"I see. Thank you for bringing me the news." Carol gave Qin Chu an elegant bow. "I'll probably be quite busy in the coming days, as I'll need to handle some matters at the Imperial Palace."

Carol didn't seem to be too affected; he straightened up and headed for the door.

Just as Carol reached the door, Qin Chu's voice came from behind again. "By the way, Carol, Brother Wadsworth asked me to do something else."

"Oh, what is it?" Carol didn't turn around, but stopped in her tracks.

"He told me to protect you."

"Really?" Carol seemed to find it amusing. "That doesn't sound like something my father would say."

In short, as long as I'm still in this world, I will never let anyone bully you.

"The Imperial Palace may be destroyed, but the Hero's Palace will always have your room."

"Thank you so much." Carol chuckled, covered her mouth, nodded again, and finally left the room.

Once she left the palace and was outside, with no one else around, Carol could no longer control herself. She hugged her shoulders tightly, and despite the bright sunlight overhead, Carol felt incredibly cold.

Her petite and slender body trembled uncontrollably as she crouched in the corner.

Two lines of clear tears rolled down her fair cheeks, dripping onto the floor and shattering like pearls.

She already knew what fate awaited her father; she had known all along.

But when Carol heard all of this from Qin Chu, she finally understood how painful it was; it felt like a piece of her heart had been ripped out.

You mustn't cry.

As a princess, one cannot lose the dignity and demeanor befitting a princess.

These were things her father had always taught her, though Carol never took them seriously.

She didn't want to cry, didn't want others to see her in such an embarrassing state.

He's never properly called me "father," and he even secretly calls me an old geezer...

She had once told him that he might as well just die sooner to make room for his daughter to become the first empress of the Orwell Empire.

But now that her father is truly gone, Carol realizes just how painful it is for her.

She knew her father was definitely not a good person, but he was still her father no matter what.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."

Finally, the princess could no longer hold back, and her painful screams were like the mournful cries of a cuckoo!

Chapter Three, twelve thousand words, done.

Chapter 553 Preparing to take action against Rosweisse

(4,000 characters)

Call...

Inside the imperial palace.

Qin Chu let out a long sigh of relief.

Killing the Lord of Pleasure is something to celebrate, but there will always be those who grieve for the sacrifices made in this war.

Carol's sobbing reached Qin Chu's ears clearly.

She is a very strong girl, and she doesn't want others to see her weak side... Her personality is really similar to Wadsworth's, whether it's her crazy and eccentric behavior during battles or her seemingly carefree but actually sensitive nature.

Perhaps it was precisely because Carol resembled him so much that Wadsworth wanted to protect his daughter... After all, besides this daughter, the others were very likely not his biological children.

Qin Chu did not appear beside Carol at this time. The girl was very vulnerable right now. If he made a move now, he would most likely succeed, but that was something only a beast would do.

Carol also needs some time to calm down, and Qin Chu isn't very good at comforting people.

He simply stayed inside the palace, silently observing everything that was happening outside.

After crying for a very long time, Carol finally stood up again. She wanted to raise her arm to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she stopped herself, because such an action was not in accordance with the standards of a member of the royal family.

From this moment on, she will become a true princess.

Before her other siblings return to the Imperial City, she will have to rebuild the crumbling empire left by her father and quell any potential conflict that could erupt at any moment.

She knew it wouldn't be an easy task, but Carol understood even more clearly that it was something she had to do, a responsibility weighing on her shoulders.

When Carol raised her head again, there was no sadness or pain on her face, only resilience.

Pain will not defeat her; it will only make her stronger.

"Don't worry, with the master here, those good-for-nothings won't cause any trouble." A familiar voice came from beside him.

Carol turned around in surprise and was astonished to find Sylph, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, standing beside her at some point.

Her cheeks were slightly Crimson; she wondered if Sylph had seen her embarrassing moment.

"Sister Sylph, what are you doing here?"

"My master sent me." Sylph's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. After all, her master had finally returned, and Sylph really wanted to spend some time with him, but instead, he had sent her away.

"From today onwards, I will stay by your side and help you handle the situation within the Imperial City. With me here, no one will dare to cause trouble." Sylph gently raised her little head, her tone tinged with pride.

Indeed, most of the high-end combat forces in the Imperial City are now dead.

The Church still exist, but Church are currently under the control of Qin Chu.

Since undergoing purification and receiving dozens of treatments from Qin Chu to completely remove the Evil God's Threads from her body, Sylph's strength has grown stronger day by day. Although she is still not as strong as Athena, she is now approaching level 90, and her realm is roughly the same as Florence and Zimmerman before their advancement. She dares not say that she is invincible, but she can definitely walk sideways in the Imperial City without any problem.

With Sylph by his side, no one in the entire empire dared to do anything to Carol.

Qin Chu promised Wadsworth he would protect Carol, and he would definitely keep his word.

Carol turned slightly, looking at the palace behind her. Through the palace windows, she could almost see the figures inside. A slight smile appeared on her fair face, as if the bone-chilling cold was no longer so unbearable.

But this guy is a bit too much. Shouldn't he come and comfort me personally when I'm so sad? A hug might just make me fall for him.

"Let's go, Sister Sylph, I'm counting on you from now on." Carol winked at Sylph with her hands behind her back and walked towards the Imperial Palace.

Inside the palace, seeing Carol accept Sylph's presence, Qin Chu finally felt a little relieved.

"Natia, you should go and rest too, you must be tired," Qin Chu said softly, stretching his arms vigorously.

Natia nodded, feeling inexplicably reluctant, but ultimately headed towards her room.

"Heloise, Ieta, you two take Atris and find a room over here," Qin Chu added.

The three Magic Creature girls also turned and left. It was clear that Atris was quite curious about the place where the Hero lived; her big eyes kept looking left and right. She knew that this would be where she would live from now on.

After being used as a tool by the Demon King and then ruthlessly abandoned, Atris understood that she would have no further connection with Magic Creature.

Qin Chu and revenge will become the only two goals in his heart.

She knew her soul had been twisted by the Pride Witch, but she didn't hate anything about it.

Qin Chu returned to his bedroom. Although the Lord of Pleasure had been dealt with, he still had a lot of things to take care of.

Qin Chu does not intend to devour the arm inside the Imperial Palace for the time being.

The heart, torso, right leg, and a whole host of Evil God's Remnant Limb inside the body were simply too much for even Transcendent Authority with the Limit Absorption to absorb.

Moreover, while Natia has awakened, the other girls remain unconscious within the World Tree.

Seemingly sensing Qin Chu's depressed mood, Eunibena once again voluntarily emerged from Qin Chu's body, placing some twigs and leaves on Qin Chu's chest, seemingly trying to soothe the knot in Qin Chu's heart.

He sat in the chair, leaning back and rocking gently, his fingers stroking the armrests.

One of the Void Seven Evil Gods died, and the Seven Ugly Gods became Six Ugly Gods.

Most of the enemies from the first life are already dead, so there aren't many enemies left now, only Rosweisse and Second-Generation Jello.

It's about time we dealt with those two.

"How Athena Eunibena?" After thinking for a while, Qin Chu asked the Sapling.

Qin Chu ultimately decided to start with Rosweisse.

As for how to retaliate, he already had a detailed plan in mind.

Judging by the time, it's almost harvest time.

Qin Chu was really looking forward to it, wanting to see what kind of expression Rosweisse would have. That expression would definitely be quite interesting.

In comparison, Qin Chu didn't care at all about what the empire would become. Although he was the Pope of the Holy Church, he didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of the Church.

In some ways, Qin Chu was more like a figurehead, with Church affairs mostly being handled by Veronica, the Grand Master of the Holy Knights Order.

As long as they don't go astray in expanding the followers of the Goddess of Holy Light, Qin Chu doesn't care about anything else.

Athena is a crucial figure in the plan to take revenge on Rosweisse, since Athena is the only person Rosweisse trusts and the only Athena can contact Rosweisse and knows Rosweisse location.

Eunibena's branches swayed gently, but she did not speak.

However, a certain spiritual and soul connection had already formed between Qin Chu and Eunibena. Even without Eunibena speaking, Qin Chu knew what the Sapling wanted to convey.

Athena's condition is gradually stabilizing, but she is not yet at a point where she can leave the World Tree.

Athena had also suffered severe injuries while resisting the onslaught of the Sea of Desire.

After all, although Athena's strength increased rapidly, she was always suppressed by the Seven Evil God, and the time since the seal was broken was not very long. In that battle, Athena's strength was actually relatively weak.

Moreover, Athena's situation is different from Natia, Angelica, and Antasia.

Natia consumed Zimmerman's power, Antasia consumed the remaining energy of the Ice Goddess, Angelica was temporarily controlled by the Moon Goddess Cynthia and was protected by the goddess, while Athena relied solely on herself.

In this situation, Athena would naturally be more severely impacted than the other girls.

However, Athena's soul potential and strength far exceeded her own power. Therefore, when facing the Lord of Pleasure, the erosion and the impact of the Sea of Desire only damaged Athena's physical body and did not cause serious damage to Athena soul.

Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

The World Tree is the best place to recuperate and recover. Although he wanted to take revenge on Rosweisse, Qin Chu was willing to endure this short period of time.

To be honest, Qin Chu also felt a little strange. The fact that Little Saya, Antia went deep into the ice field might be because they were in the Ice Grand Duchy and had a clearer sense of the danger they might be in.

Natia might be because of Zimmerman.

Wadsworth may have been corrupted by the Strongest Evil God, making him exceptionally sensitive to the aura of the Lord of Pleasure.

Angelica might be because of Cynthia.

Antasia, Inas, Florence, and Ileta were already deep within the ice plains.

How did Athena know she was in danger, and why did she still resolutely head to the ice field despite knowing the extreme peril?

What on earth is this woman thinking?

For some reason, Qin Chu felt a little irritated.

Qin Chu didn't feel any real feelings for Athena. This woman was his enemy, and Qin Chu would never forget the cruelty they showed him when he was brutally murdered in his first life.

He only wanted revenge. This hatred and urge to retaliate even amplified Qin Chu's desire and pleasure when he enjoyed Athena's service and the woman's beauty.

However, that was the extent of their relationship.

Although in this life, Athena managed to break free from the influence exerted on her by Jello through her powerful will, this could not change the things Athena had done in the past.

Qin Chu's hatred for Athena will not diminish as a result.

But this time, whether Qin Chu likes it or not, he has to admit that if Athena hadn't reached the Ice Plains and hadn't risked her life to fight the Lord of Pleasure, the war might have had a very different outcome.
