A Woman's Choice
After uttering that final sentence, Qin Chu fell silent, leaving Nag to ponder in peace. He believed that as long as Nag wasn't a fool, he would make the right decision.
Time is passing by with difficulty.
Nag seemed to have entered a meditative state, his body completely still. If it weren't for the alternating shifts between savagery and fear in his eyes, one might even think he was asleep.
This period of contemplation lasted for a full ten minutes... Nag finally raised his head.
The moment he looked up, there was no hesitation on his face, only madness and determination.
His answer is beyond doubt:
Let's cooperate.
"Clever!"
After making this decision, Nag suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit welling up in his chest.
Attempting to kill a god?
That's a really crazy decision.
But everyone has to go crazy at least once in their life, right?
He's Demon King, yet he's lived a lowly life like a stray dog. It must be incredibly painful for him. If Hero can do it, there's no reason why Demon King like him can't.
Moreover, Nag was well aware that this was the only path he had to take.
If he refused to cooperate with Qin Chu, neither the Evil God nor Qin Chu would allow him to live.
Of course, if Nag knew that last time it wasn't just a group of humans fighting against the Evil God, but also that a surviving goddess was assisting, then this time, the goddess might not appear.
If Nag knew that the Evil God in the Lower Realm might not be just one...
Perhaps, that's a different story.
The first chapter, four thousand words in total, is presented here.
Chapter 584 A Woman's Choice
Cooperate.
The two sides have reached a temporary agreement.
No contract or oath is required.
Everyone knew perfectly well that this was a fight for their own survival, and nothing else.
Atris also suppressed her hatred for her father. Her master's plan was the most important thing, and she would continue to endure for the sake of her master's goal.
After the cooperation was confirmed, neither Qin Chu nor Nag spoke, but closed their eyes to rest and try to adjust themselves to their best condition. After all, they were facing Evil God, which was not something that ordinary beings could fight against.
Even though Qin Chu had meticulously planned this matter and even brought in the expert Nag, he couldn't guarantee victory this time.
After all, not every Evil God is as reckless as the Lord of Pleasure.
There is no room for error in this battle.
"Ekaterina, Sylph, Athena, Atris, you, leave here." Qin Chu, who was adjusting his state, suddenly spoke, his voice steady and filled with an unquestionable tone.
The girls' expressions changed slightly; they had already understood what Qin Chu was thinking.
Athena instinctively opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
She knew how terrifying it was to fight Evil God, but she couldn't just stand by and watch Qin Chu bear all the danger. Besides, she had already fought Evil God once, so...
However, Qin Chu Athena she could finish speaking, "Be good."
"Leave here immediately."
Qin Chu gave the girls no chance to argue; his mind was made up.
The Lord of Pleasure died, largely because of His own actions.
He was high above, enjoying the thrill of playing cat and mouse, but ended up wasting too much time. By the time the Lord of Pleasure realized something was wrong, it was too late.
We can't expect every god to be as foolish as the Lord of Pleasure... If we encounter a simpleton who immediately unleashes his ultimate attack without a word, the situation will become very bad.
As Demigod, Qin Chu might still have the strength to put up a fight.
But Athena and her group of women have absolutely no chance.
Seeing that Qin Chu had made up his mind, the girls were somewhat unwilling, but they could only obey Qin Chu's order and turn to leave one by one.
Qin Chu was digesting the Divine Authority within his body.
They sensed the elevation that Divine Authority brought them.
A barely perceptible smile played at the corners of his lips. He was certain that whoever the descending deity might be, these two Divine Authority would bring each other a surprise.
Little Saya sat quietly beside Qin Chu, her eyelids drooping and her long eyelashes fluttering.
The entire sky above the Blood Lake was utterly silent, save for the occasional suppressed roars from Ramon.
Besides these, Qin Chu could also detect that there were some remains of Evil God in this area.
The Evil God's Remnant Limb are drawing him in, attempting to reassemble them.
But Qin Chu forcefully suppressed this attraction.
The Evil God's Remnant Limb are also very important to the Demon King Nag. At this moment, Qin Chu does not want to ruin his cooperation with the Demon King Nag because of this.
Besides, what difference would it make if I swallowed another piece of the limb?
The power of the remaining limbs in the body has not been fully digested, so consuming another piece would not be of much use.
The waiting time was agonizing.
No one can predict what kind of war will break out in this region in the near future.
Night had fallen before they knew it, and the time it would take for the Evil God to descend to earth seemed to be taking longer than expected.
At this moment, Athena, Sylph, Ekaterina, and Atris had already retreated to an area a hundred kilometers away.
Of course, this distance is by no means safe in the war against the Evil God; even the aftershocks of the battle could destroy them.
The four girls were unwilling to accept this.
However, they also had to admit that their strength was really hard to play in a conflict of this level... They were filled with a sense of powerlessness, a feeling that was quite painful.
The girls were desperately trying to find the strength to engage in the conflict, but unfortunately, it wasn't easy to find the power that would allow them to participate.
Athena, in particular, was more agitated than the other girls, her slender body pacing back and forth in the jungle.
She was slightly stronger than the other girls, having reached level ninety-something, but even that strength was insufficient in a conflict of this level; below the Demigod, they were nothing but ants.
If, like last time, the Evil God's power is forcibly stripped of its Godhood, there might still be a chance to participate in the conflict.
"You all seem quite eager to help Qin Chu." Just as the girls were feeling agitated, a gentle voice, like a soft breeze, brushed past their ears.
The girls, who were already under extreme mental stress, changed their expressions instantly upon hearing these words.
Four pairs of eyes looked in different directions almost simultaneously.
Ekaterina had even gripped the heavy sword in her hand, and flames seemed to burn in her scarlet eyes. "Who, who is speaking?"
There was no further communication, but at that moment, all the girls made the right decision. They instinctively formed a circle, back to back.
Everyone's eyes were filled with vigilance.
All around was empty; the night remained silent.
This is not an illusion. The fact that the other party is communicating with them without their knowledge can only mean that... the other party's strength far surpasses their own.
Athena's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Compared to the other three girls, Athena felt inexplicably that she had heard the voice somewhere before, a strange sense of familiarity.
Suddenly, Athena abruptly raised her head and blurted out, "The Goddess of Fate?"
That's right, it's Moirai, the Goddess of Fate.
During the previous conflict with the Lord of Pleasure, Athena overheard Moirai and the Lord of Pleasure communicating; there's no mistake about that.
Has this goddess already appeared in this area?
Her chest was filled with a deep sense of oppression, but at this moment, Athena's heart was suddenly filled with a glimmer of hope.
After all, this was a true god.
The other girls also stirred slightly; they couldn't believe that the being speaking to them was actually a real deity.
"Tell me, do you really want to help Qin Chu?" the goddess's voice rang out once more.
Athena gently bit her lower lip, and this time she didn't hesitate, immediately giving her answer, "Yes!"
I really want to.
She wanted to stand by Qin Chu's side and become Qin Chu assistant, instead of just hiding in a safe zone at a distance.
"No matter the cost, even if it means a reduction in lifespan?" The goddess's voice rang out once more.
Is it worth sacrificing lifespan for immense power?
A slight smile curved Athena's lips, "I do."
The other girls didn't hesitate for even a moment.
Is lifespan important? Yes, it is! But at this point in time, lifespan is insignificant.
Ugh!
The Demonic Beast Territory at night is even more sinister than during the day.
The number of Magic Creature that died in the Demonic Beast Territory was simply outrageous. Even though a whole day had passed, the thick stench of blood in the air had not dissipated, and the eerie wind blowing made one feel as if they were in a sea of blood.
The whole world was shrouded in shadows, with countless indescribable phantoms churning and writhing in the Blood Lake.
Ramon seemed a little tired too.
The howling subsided slightly.
Qin Chu did not rescue Ramon, for the same reason as before: he did not want to disrupt the temporary alliance with Nag.
Having fought the Demon King head-on in his first life, Qin Chu knew all too well just how powerful this veteran Demigod was.
Although Qin Chu managed to defeat the Demon King that time, he was also seriously injured as a result.
In the night breeze, the nearby trees swayed and rustled, the night sky overhead seemed even more frozen, the moon had hidden away at some point, and the world was shrouded in darkness.
The gloomy atmosphere was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
In Qin Chu's eyes, he could still glimpse the milky white clouds overhead... This layer of Faith Cloud did not change its color as night fell.
The vortex is getting bigger and bigger.
The Goddess of Holy Light must have been absorbing faith in the Void for a day and a night, and it's unknown how much she has recovered... However, the power of faith accumulated over a long period of time is simply too dense. Even after a whole day of absorption, there is no sign of much depletion. All that can be seen is that the vortex has already transformed into a storm and is spinning violently.
The speed is faster than before.
This seems to indicate that the loopholes suppressing the Goddess of Holy Light in the Void are becoming increasingly large.
Suddenly, streaks of scarlet light pierced through the rolling, thick clouds overhead, like the twilight glow of the setting sun, transforming into sharp swords that intertwined in the sky and descended.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Qin Chu suddenly stood up.
Little Saya beside him and Nag opposite him almost simultaneously sensed the movement from the starry sky. All three pairs of eyes were fixed on the boundless night sky, looking at the crimson glow, their faces turning slightly pale.
Although we were prepared, we could still feel the terrifying pressure when the gods descended.
Qin Chu's lips twitched slightly, the familiar scarlet color a blend of Blood, Darkness, and Death God.
This is a terrible sign... He's a battle maniac, not as reckless as the Lord of Pleasure.
The only saving grace is that it seems only the Blood, Darkness, and Death God have descended, and the presence of other deities has not yet been detected.
Before you could even observe closely, the gap in the night sky had grown larger and larger, like a piece of black silk being mercilessly torn to shreds.
Waaaaah...
The sound of the wind.
A fierce wind swept across the ground.
