The Traitor's Choice

The strength of their souls was on completely different levels. If Qin Chu's soul was just a wisp of gray smoke, the other party's soul was a towering metal structure.

The consciousness of the Strongest Evil God Source of All Evil, has fully awakened. The other tricks he had arranged would probably be useless. However, there was still no disappointment on Qin Chu's face.

"Who knows..."

Qin Chu sighed almost imperceptibly, then raised his right hand, his index finger tracing a faint, crimson arc in the air.

"I admit, you're very strong."

Qin Chu's consciousness froze, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the barriers of the Soul World and glimpse everything happening far, far away.

He could almost see his lovers whispering amongst themselves in the church of the Imperial City, and see the Little Saya continuing their endless argument about who was the elder sister.

Violet and Antia were seen leaning against each other with smiles on their faces.

Watching Anjelica gently choose her wedding dress... she chose a maid outfit for herself, a very luxurious and beautiful set.

Athena, on the other hand, forgot about the wedding dress and took a fancy to a silver-white robe. Ekaterina and Sylph, however, seemed to really like the flowing wedding dress.

Adelina, on the other hand, looked utterly bored. She had no interest in any of this; she proudly believed that whatever she wore would make her the most eye-catching jewel at the banquet.

Ileta, on the other hand, displayed the elegance of an ancient noblewoman. The wedding dress and gown that Veronica commissioned the master tailor to make seemed so simple to Ileta. She planned to sew one herself, of course, not because she could take the opportunity to sew more padding at the chest.

Antasia doesn't need to worry about her wedding dress either; her father and mother from the Ice Grand Duchy will bring the most suitable gown.

Norma, on the other hand, was somewhat timid and left everything to Veronica's arrangements.

Natia's dress was prepared by her best friend, an outfit that made her feel extremely ashamed... but her friend assured her that the dress would have a stunning effect on her wedding night.

Carol chose a gothic Lolita-style dress with dark and red hues... which suited her somewhat eccentric personality quite well.

Candice was quite modest; as the last girl to arrive at the palace, she said she would leave everything to her sisters.

Ieta and Heloise's little faces were also full of joy, seemingly not expecting that there would be a place for the two of them.

Florence was eagerly making arrangements for Inas, as if she were looking after her daughter who was about to get married and naturally wanted her to be dressed up beautifully... As for herself, she did not intend to participate in this lively and noisy event; she felt that it was more appropriate for her to exist in another way, given her status.

Phil, still occupying Saint Monica's body, also appeared, and she immediately took a liking to the bright red dress.

Everything looked so warm and cozy.

Qin Chu sighed silently. If he were there, he would definitely choose the ones that best accentuated their figures, especially Athena, Ekaterina, Natia, and Phil...

Little by little, Qin Chu withdrew his gaze, his eyes once again landing on the powerful soul opposite him.

"You are very strong." Qin Chu emphasized this point again. "So strong that it makes me feel despair."

"Perhaps I should thank you first. In my first life, I was able to be resurrected, probably because of you, right?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, his tone light and cheerful.

It seemed that when the moment truly arrived, he was no longer afraid.

"When did you realize this?" The Source of All Evil did not deny it.

"It's been a long time. Although at first I was overwhelmed by the joy of being reborn, and thought it was an opportunity given to me by God." Qin Chu gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"But I soon realized something was wrong. This is, after all, a world where gods exist. Although Saya Nicholas is very strong, she is still just a Witch, a Witch at the Demigod level. How could she possibly turn a world where gods exist back to what it was seven years ago?"

"Earlier than I expected." The Father God, the Source of All Evil, nodded. "You deserve my praise again; you are excellent."

"Thank you..." Qin Chu nodded slightly, accepting the praise from the Father God Source of All Evil: "At that time, I began to suspect that there were other, even more powerful beings hiding behind Saya Nicholas. I even suspected that Saya Nicholas was a spy that being deliberately planted next to me... um, a spy?"

"Therefore, I was very, very careful to hide my suspicions, so much so that even Saya Nicholas, who had been residing in my body for a long time, couldn't detect them."

The Father God did not object to talking with Qin Chu; He could use this time to stabilize His newly recovered soul. "You are very clever; your deduction was not wrong."

Qin Chu, seemingly unaware of the Father God's objective, simply shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no, you don't understand."

"I guessed... I mean, that Saya Nicholas had someone backing him, but I didn't expect that person to be so terrifying." Qin Chu with some frustration.

The Father God spoke slowly, "So... what are you going to do now? Will you accept death with equanimity?"

Qin Chu shrugged. "It seems there's no option for me to live!"

"However, I won't die willingly. I've said it before, I want to live."

The Father God seemed amused. "Do you think you still have any hope of surviving?"

"Of course..." Qin Chu nodded, "Otherwise, why do you think I've been rambling on for so long?"

Unbeknownst to anyone, right outside, dense, tree-like roots were sprouting on Qin Chu's body.

The delicate roots relentlessly penetrate the skin, bones, and internal organs—every vital part of the body.

The entire body has unknowingly formed a large net.

And each of these nodes stores the most intense energy.

Ever since Qin Chu realized that his strength could no longer be improved, he continued to desperately squeeze out the potential within his body. Apart from providing it to the Little Goddess of Holy Light, all the energy that Lucia couldn't absorb was stored in Qin Chu's own body.

Heart, torso, limbs, internal organs, and even... the soul.

Every part of the body capable of storage was completely filled with energy to an extreme degree.

At this moment, this body even needs the assistance of the roots of the Earth Mother Onibena Bena to continue to be maintained, otherwise it would completely Ruin at any time.

Within the Soul World, before the Father God, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Qin Chu's originally gray soul suddenly turned crimson.

A sinister smile spread across his face as he opened his hands. The next second, blazing flames began to burn above Qin Chu's soul.

That scene caused the Father God's pupils to slightly contract.

He knew that Qin Chu had used the most brutal method: soul burning!

However, the Father God did not know that Qin Chu's burning soul was merely a fuse; the truly terrifying bombs had already been planted throughout Qin Chu's body.

Even Qin Chu himself didn't know just how abundant the energy he had accumulated over the past few months was.

The burning soul had already been corrupted, and the Father God stretched out his right hand, seemingly wanting to crush Qin Chu's soul. This would not be a difficult thing for Him, but Qin Chu was faster.

The instant the Father God made his move, the burning soul instantly detonated all the energy hidden within the entire body...

The faint, intermittent sounds of Qin Chu's eccentric and manic laughter could even be heard.

"Guess what, do you think I have a way to drag you down to hell with me?"

Rumble...

The sound of an explosion was mixed with a low, Wrath growl.

As a crimson cloud shot into the sky, resembling the eruption of Fire God, Qin Chu's physical body shattered in an instant.

An impact filled with gloom and bloodshed spread, and yellow sand swirled in the air, turning the once golden sand grains into a desolate and gloomy landscape.

Everything shattered... No, there was one thing missing: Qin Chu's brain.

It is protected by a dense network of tree roots.

Just as the surrounding shock subsided slightly, the tree roots swiftly placed Qin Chu's brain on a patch of withered dust.

Immediately, the World Tree, which was the incarnation of the Earth Mother Onibena, swiftly disappeared into the yellow sand.

Her tree roots had been eroded, and grayish-black marks were spreading along the long roots toward the main body. Without the slightest hesitation, Onibena quickly cut off all the roots that had grown with great difficulty.

The speed at which it burrowed deeper into the earth increased faster and faster.

She must escape the perception of the Strongest Evil God in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, she is the Earth Mother.

The earth is her home ground.

For Onibena, traversing the earth is easier than soaring through the air.

Onibena finally stopped; she had reached the Earth's core, surrounded by scorching lava.

This place is enough to protect against the spying of the Strongest Evil God who has just revived.

The scorching heat from the magma seemed to make Onibena somewhat uncomfortable; the remaining roots and branches of the World Tree gradually curled up.

As a burst of emerald light appeared on Onibena, her presence rapidly changed. In just a few seconds, the World Tree vanished, replaced by a tall, voluptuous, and beautiful woman exuding an air of elegance, grace, gentleness, and kindness.

Long, green hair flowed down her back.

A pair of eyes of the same color gazed upwards, seemingly able to peer through layers of rock to see the scene on the ground.

On the ground, Qin Chu's brain was still beating.

Thanks to Onibena's protection, his brain was not destroyed in the instant of the explosion, but was well preserved.

For Qin Chu, as long as he doesn't die instantly, he will live forever.

But this time, Qin Chu burned his soul.

Even though his soul no longer existed, the power of Extreme Holy Healing continued to restore Qin Chu's body.

Above the brain, countless scarlet, adhered human tissues began to emerge.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a thick, gray-black fog was churning and swirling—the very soul of the Father God, which had withstood the instantaneous explosion and destruction of all the energy!

Or rather... a remnant soul?

Chapter 596 The Traitor's Choice

The Father God's soul is writhing.

A thousand years has passed, and everything has been arranged in advance, but some minor errors will inevitably occur... In this vast universe, no one can truly be omniscient and omnipotent.

Qin Chu's methods were outside His plan... This tool had already slipped out of His control to some extent.

Judging from the situation revealed at the last moment, Qin Chu knew that He was about to be resurrected, and he also knew that He was powerless to stop Him. He was not even prepared to live, otherwise he would not have resolutely burned His soul and detonated the energy buried in His body and Soul World.

He wanted to drag himself down with him.

The Father God suddenly found it somewhat amusing. He wasn't angry; instead, He found it amusing.

This was quite an original welcoming ceremony.

Unfortunately, a tool is just a tool.

Despite Qin Chu's extensive preparations, he was powerless to change anything in the face of such an overwhelming difference in strength.

If He were so easily killed, so many gods wouldn't have fallen a thousand years ago.

Even if He has only just been revived and His soul is in an unprecedentedly weak state, He is still not someone that ordinary beings can face.

Of course, He was not without damage.

His soul was partially destroyed, permanently.

This is a considerable loss.

The already weakened soul grew even weaker, and now it had to devote most of its energy to repairing its damaged soul and suppressing the pain caused by its soul being burned.

In other words, the speed at which His strength recovered was severely reduced.

Another terrible situation is that His body, His most familiar and strongest physical form, has been ravaged by Qin Chu and is now unusable.

His soul could not sustain the expenditure required to recreate a powerful physical body.

Of course, He could also retrieve the limbs that Qin Chu had banished to various places, but that might take a very long time.

Now, His soul needs a suitable vessel.

The Father God looked to the side.

There is a brain there.

Qin Chu's brain.

Although his body and soul had been shattered, his brain remained intact and seemed to be in remarkably good condition.

Even though his soul had vanished, Qin Chu's inherent power and authority seemed to still be at work, and the Extreme Holy Healing was restoring Qin Chu's body.

Layers of human tissue proliferate rapidly.

Crimson chunks of meat, milky-white fascia, hard bones...

The effects of the Extreme Holy Healing were truly astounding. The entire process didn't take too long, and a completely new Qin Chu had already grown.

He looked almost exactly the same as Qin Chu before... except for his eyes.

His eyes were blank.
