The Real Ekaterina

Carol nodded, understanding that the remnants of the Evil God were not something she could easily access with her own strength.

Even someone as powerful as her father went mad under the corrosive influence of the Evil God's Remnant Limb. Carol didn't want to become like that herself; after all, she was already quite insane, and if she went any further, she wouldn't even resemble a human anymore.

Sylph, Atris, and Little Saya all stayed outside as well.

As Qin Chu stepped into the underground passage, Carol, though knowing Qin Chu was powerful enough, couldn't help but worry and instinctively stepped forward to grab Qin Chu's wrist.

Seeing Qin Chu turn around, Carol's cheeks flushed slightly, and she loosened her grip again. "Be careful, little one."

"If that doesn't work, then forget it. We can just completely destroy the Imperial Palace and bury this underground seal completely."

Qin Chu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it's alright."

With a touch of affection, Qin Chu gently patted Carol's forehead, then stepped into the underground passage without further hesitation.

As Qin Chu's figure gradually disappeared before her eyes, Carol felt a void and a little uncomfortable in her heart. When Qin Chu was by her side, she always felt a sense of security, that she didn't have to worry about anything, and that Qin Chu would arrange everything perfectly.

But now that Qin Chu has left, even though there are several other girls around, I always feel like something is missing.

Sylph observed Carol's behavior, and a hint of ambiguity crept onto the proud elf's face. She gently poked Carol's slender, supple waist twice with a delicate white finger. "So, you've got your eye on her? My master isn't bad, is he?"

Carol's face instantly flushed Crimson, her beauty radiant, and she glared at Sylph, exasperated. "Sister Sylph, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't..."

Sylph didn't care about any of that. Did this silly girl really think no one could see through her little schemes?

"Don't let my master's appearance fool you. If a girl takes the initiative, that guy definitely won't be able to handle it."

"You still have a chance if you act now. If you wait any longer, you'll really miss your chance."

Little Saya, standing next to him, rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly.

Atris, on the other hand, had a slightly agape mouth, seemingly surprised that Sylph, her nominal maid, would dare to speak ill of her master behind her back.

Isn't she afraid that her owner will get angry and punish her?

Of course, what Atris didn't know was that Qin Chu's punishment might be considered a reward for Sylph.

Chapter 562 The Real Ekaterina

(4,000 characters)

The dimly lit passage seemed to have been untouched for many days, with a thick layer of dust covering the ground. Numerous magical lamps hung on the walls on both sides, preventing the underground world from becoming too dark.

With a single step, the light from the magic lamp revealed countless dust particles floating in the air.

The passageway was filled with a depressing and nauseating atmosphere.

It smelled of blood, along with a strong, foul stench.

There are numerous traps and hidden crossbows on both sides of the passage.

Qin Chu personally tried out several of the mechanisms to experience their power. While they weren't enough to cause him any harm, they were certainly not places that ordinary experts could trespass on. Even War God or a Grand Sage would be reduced to ashes if they weren't careful.

The passage spirals downwards.

After a long time, a dense, bizarre protective shield, formed by an unknown mixture of countless restrictions, appeared before Qin Chu. Wadsworth was using these restrictions to suppress the occasional fluctuations of the Evil God's Remnant Limb.

Within the barrier, there was a massive, majestic arm that stretched for thousands of meters.

This is a right hand.

Even with the restrictions and suppression, the oppressive feeling brought by the Evil God's right hand was still terrifying. Even standing in front of it, one could feel the overwhelming pressure like a tsunami or storm.

There were even some traces of Wadsworth's activities on the ground. It was clear that Wadsworth didn't even have the strength to stand up straight in front of the right hand of the Evil God; he had been crawling forward almost the entire time.

The feeling of power.

It's no wonder that Wadsworth was so deeply immersed in the corrupting influence of the Evil God. Immersed in such abundant energy, anyone would be tempted to try and absorb all the energy contained within the entire God's Right Hand.

They can't help but imagine just how incredibly powerful they would become after absorbing this energy.

Given Wadsworth's ambition, it's quite normal for him to be tempted by the will of Evil God.

Qin Chu sighed and walked towards the barrier.

The moment Qin Chu approached, all the restrictions on the Evil God's right hand were activated instantly.

In an instant, the sky was filled with dense energy. Lightning, ice, gale, fire, and meteors—extremely concentrated energy simultaneously enveloped Qin Chu's body, attempting to blast this intruder into dust.

In the past, the massive array of restrictions above his head, with a power comparable to several Transcendent Magic falling simultaneously, could have caused Qin Chu some trouble, but now... it's useless.

Qin Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a step forward.

The instant the foot touched the ground, an invisible energy instantly spread outwards.

Decomposition Divinity.

Qin Chu knew better than anyone how powerful the Divinity power was, but before, with Qin Chu strength, he was unable to unleash its Divinity potential. Only now, after becoming a true Demigod, could he truly unleash the power of the Divinity to a certain extent.

In an instant, a semi-circular sphere almost formed around Qin Chu's body, covering a large area.

The energy falling from the sky was instantly Decomposition Divinity and restored to its original state the moment it entered this area.

Despite the immense power of these restrictions, they couldn't even touch Qin Chu's body. In an instant, everything crumbled, and there were no more obstacles between Qin Chu and the God's Right Hand.

Just after the Decomposition Divinity was unleashed, translucent tentacles, like intertwined giant pythons, rapidly extended from Qin Chu's body and directly entangled the Evil God's right hand.

The power of Gluttony Divinity began to take effect, and this time Qin Chu chose to devour the entire God's Right Hand.

Time passed day by day.

Following Qin Chu and Little Saya's instructions, Ekaterina and Athena flew to the Port Algeciras, a place that Rosweisse had arranged in advance.

It's called a port, but it's actually a small kingdom.

This is a long and narrow country built on the coast and dependent on its port.

Compared to the Empire, the Kingdom of Algeciras, though lacking a powerful army, still amassed countless riches through large-scale maritime transport of supplies.

It costs money to dock a ship.

The crew's food, lodging, and entertainment also require money.

According to the sailors, the Kingdom of Algeciras was a veritable den of iniquity. No matter how stingy or miserly a person was, they would always succumb to all sorts of temptations in this place and empty their pockets of Mana.

Exquisite potions, rare treasures, advanced magic, profound martial arts, spicy drinks... and of course, beautiful women—you can find almost anything you desire here.

It was precisely because of this special state that the entire harbor was filled with violence and chaos.

The kingdom's higher-ups turned a blind eye to this and did nothing about it.

Wealth can bring you enjoyment, and beauty can bring you adulation... but wealth and beauty can also bring you countless troubles.

Ekaterina and Athena never separated, and Athena always tried to pretend that she was still recovering from a serious illness.

After arriving at the port, even though he was no longer being carried by Ekaterina, he still needed Ekaterina support to move around.

Both Ekaterina and Athena were beautiful women with their own unique charm, and when these two stunning women came together, the allure was stronger than ever.

Most of the people living here are well-traveled and have seen many beautiful girls, but none of them have ever seen a woman so beautiful.

Ekaterina, clad in scarlet armor that accentuated her tall, athletic figure, had long, fiery red hair that flowed down her back, making her resemble a ball of crimson flame that constantly stimulated the temperature within the male's body.

Especially her long, slender, and beautiful legs, which were captivating as she swayed her body.

Athena's charm, however, was entirely different. She was voluptuous and graceful, alluring and seductive. Every move she made, every smile she gave, was like a bewitching Succubus.

The oversized magician's robes couldn't conceal her almost bursting figure; the curves between her chest, waist, hips, and legs were incredibly alluring.

That figure would make any woman feel ashamed of herself.

Her pale complexion and unsteady gait, requiring assistance to walk, gave Athena an air of sickly beauty, making her all the more pitiful.

Along the way, it has attracted countless eyes.

Those almost undisguised gazes irritated Ekaterina and Athena.

If it were based on their previous personalities, they probably would have already gouged out those people's eyes.

Although it seemed that Ekaterina was supporting Athena, it was clear that Athena was the one in control. The clever Archmage astutely realized that this port was where Rosweisse was observing and spying on the two of them.

With so many people and eyes around, this place is perfect for hiding.

As for the lake, it was merely a hiding place for Rosweisse.

"I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat," Athena said softly after thinking for a moment.

Since Rosweisse wants to observe from the shadows, let her observe to her heart's content.

Once Rosweisse confirms that he hasn't lied, she will naturally tell him the real meeting place. Until then, all he needs to do is perform and wait.

Athena didn't try to find out where Rosweisse was. After all, there were plenty of ways to spy on someone secretly, without Rosweisse having to come in person. The Eye of True Vision could achieve the same effect, or she could bribe a group of people in the port, which would be no difficult task for Rosweisse.

"I'll find a chance to show off my skills later," Athena muttered softly.

"Won't that make Rosweisse wary?" Ekaterina raised an eyebrow.

Athena smiled and shook her head slightly, "No, it would only make Rosweisse suspicious if we both acted timidly, since a person's personality doesn't change drastically for no reason."

"Even if you demonstrate your power, it will only make Rosweisse feel that I dared to request Resurrection Spell before my body had fully recovered, because I relied on your power."

Ekaterina nodded almost imperceptibly, understanding in her heart.

In a place like this, it's incredibly easy to find an opportunity to showcase one's abilities.

Even if you don't actively seek them out, these opportunities will come knocking on your door; you can't escape them.

Just as Ekaterina had predicted, the two intended to find a restaurant for a nice meal, but before they could even get close, a group of figures blocked their way.

Judging from their attire, these people appear to be a group of mercenaries.

This must be a fairly powerful mercenary group. The leader was wearing a suit of armor forged from fine steel, covered with marks left by the claws of savage beasts Magic Creature. A two-handed greatsword hung at his waist.

The man was nearly two meters tall, and standing next to Ekaterina and Athena made the two already tall women appear somewhat petite.

His face was rugged and his eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, making the scars on his face appear to twist and contort, sending chills down one's spine.

There were seven or eight men following them nearby—thieves, archers, Knight, and mages—it was a fairly well-organized team.

Although their professions differed, what they had in common was that their faces were filled with evil and Desire smiles, and their almost Greed eyes swept over Ekaterina and Athena with an unbridled manner.

They had never seen such a beautiful woman, and the lust in their chests could no longer be suppressed.

Judging from their appearance, these were not two ordinary women, especially the female warrior dressed in fiery red, who carried a crimson greatsword on her back; she seemed like someone not to be trifled with.

But so what?

This is the Port Algeciras.

They are the local bullies.

No woman targeted by the brothers has ever escaped.

What, you call them bastards?

Yes, they are bastards.

Good women shouldn't come here! Everyone on the Skyvault Continent knows this is a paradise of sin... Women, especially beautiful women, who come here should be prepared to experience something quite different.

Besides, given the looks of these two women, if he didn't make a move, someone else would eventually take advantage of them. So how could he let them go?

With malice swirling in his mind, the leading man's smile deepened. His scarred lips parted, revealing an exaggerated grin. "Ah, two beautiful ladies, I wonder if I may have the honor of inviting you both..."

He imitated the tone of aristocratic high society and spoke in a pretentious manner.

He was a commoner, a commoner who was lucky enough to learn advanced Battle Qi and gain great strength. He seemed to look down on the behavior of the nobles, but he inadvertently revealed his longing for it in his words.

Under normal circumstances, two women surrounded by seven or eight large men would probably be terrified, turning pale and trembling.

They might even offer money, begging him to let them go. Of course, he likes money, but he wants both money and women.

The man in the lead assumed that Ekaterina and Athena would react the same way, but the unfolding events took him by surprise.

Before the man could even finish speaking, Ekaterina's brows furrowed tightly, seemingly quite impatient with these men's advances. She parted her lips slightly and uttered a single word. "Get lost..."

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, the group of men were taken aback.

Goodness, it's been so long since I've encountered a rose with thorns like this.
