Let's Work Together to Resurrect Lord Jello
Since it was a local gathering, the Hero was not notified.
The so-called meeting was nothing more than a discussion about how to divide the spoils after the war, with victory seemingly within reach.
This meeting exposed the ugliness of humanity to the fullest extent. In order to gain more benefits for themselves, the entire meeting room was in complete chaos, with no regard for gentlemanly etiquette and shoes flying everywhere.
Although no agreement was reached in the end, more than one nobleman and clergyman at the banquet suggested reducing the Hero's influence.
Athena scoffed at their attitude. These fools! Didn't they know that without Hero, they had no chance against the Magic Creature? The war wasn't even over yet, and they were already talking about restricting Hero. A bunch of greedy idiots.
But now, thinking back, Athena's face grew increasingly pale, goosebumps rising on her skin. Could it be that those people weren't just discussing things, but had actually taken action?
They exploited the Hero's feelings for his Hero's Party members, deceiving Hero into fighting the Demon King, hoping that the Hero and the Demon King would both be severely injured, or even better, that they would both perish.
If the Hero returns victorious, he will likely be severely injured, making him relatively easy to deal with.
If the Hero fails and is killed, the royal family, the Holy Church, and the Earth Mother Church will assemble a powerful and elite force to defeat the severely wounded Demon King and seize the glory of defeating Demon King...
In fact, after the Hero died, the humans did organize a coalition to try to wipe out the Magic Creature. However, due to internal discord, everyone only wanted the glory of finally killing the Demon King and was unwilling to send their own forces to their deaths. Instead, they just encouraged others to rush forward.
In the end, they were pushed back by the Magic Creature and suffered heavy losses.
Looking back now, it all seems like such a coincidence.
Athena's body was trembling. Combining the behavior of those people in the meeting with their reactions after the Hero's sacrifice, she came to this conclusion.
"This... from beginning to end, it was a trap."
A smile flashed across Qin Chu's face; this clever woman had taken the bait under his guidance.
In reality, all of this was just something Qin Chu made up.
The First-Generation Hero went to fight the Demon King Nag one-on-one, and although the reason is unknown, it seemed to be no different from suicide.
Of course, all Qin Chu had to do was arouse Athena's reasonable suspicion.
This is a very useful tool, and Qin Chu will make good use of him in every sense of the word.
Athena's eyes were filled with intense hatred. "Who is it?"
That bastard killed Jello.
This forced him to continue his affair with that bastard Qin Chu in order to restore Lord Jello's soul.
This also meant that the entire Skyvault Continent continued to endure years of war.
"I don't know, it could be Wadsworth, it could be Saint Monica, it could be Augustus..."
Qin Chu deliberately avoided mentioning the members of the Hero's Party, but Athena's eyelids kept twitching.
"Therefore, the fact that my remnant soul is residing in Qin Chu's body must be kept a secret. Currently, only you and Ekaterina know about it. If the person who plotted to kill me finds out that I am still alive, he will definitely strike again."
"If I'm killed again this time, I'll never have a chance to be resurrected."
Athena took a deep breath, knowing how important this was, and nodded repeatedly. "I understand. I will definitely protect you and won't let anyone hurt Jello Geralt!"
That's fantastic!
Qin Chu continued, "Also... I'm sorry, I'm not trying to cause trouble."
"I don't want to sow discord between you two best friends."
"But watch out for Rosweisse!"
Chapter Four is presented here.
Chapter 115: Let's work together to revive Jello!
(5)
Athena's eyelids twitched. Ekaterina had previously said that because she was close to Rosweisse, she wasn't trustworthy. Was there something wrong with Rosweisse?
Rosweisse is the one who loves to cling to Lord Jello the most, loves to act cute towards the Hero, and loves Jello the most!
Of course, Athena felt that her love for Lord Jello was no less than that for Rosweisse.
"Rosweisse seems to be connected to the Evil God!"
Athena was terrified; she almost jumped up and screamed.
That's absolutely impossible.
Rosweisse is a saintess of the Holy Church, how could she possibly be related to Evil God? She is so... so... uh...
Athena suddenly remembered what she had accidentally witnessed: because Sylph and Jello were getting too close, it Wrath Rosweisse, and the dignified saintess stood alone in a dark corner, cursing Sylph to die...
It seems... not entirely impossible.
"Lord Jello, why do you suspect Rosweisse?" Athena, somewhat puzzled.
I know Rosweisse's true nature, but Jello Geralt certainly doesn't.
After all, this woman was very good at disguising herself; she always presented herself as the purest and most innocent person to Jello.
To outsiders, she was an elegant, pure, innocent, and lovely perfect saint.
'Jello' took a deep breath, his tone somewhat heavy: 'Have you met with Rosweisse?'
Athena didn't hide this fact and nodded.
"Did she tell you that she and Karthus killed thousands of Knights?" 'Jello' said in a somber voice.
Athena's body shuddered slightly, and her face even turned somewhat pale.
If it were said that Karthus killed thousands of Knights, Athena wouldn't feel anything, since Karthus gave the impression of being the type who would go on a killing spree.
But, Rosweisse?
That's a saint from the Holy See! Why would she do something like this?
Qin Chu, playing the role of Jello, tapped his brow, seemingly with a headache. Athena sensed that Jello's aura in this body seemed to have weakened slightly, and she cleverly knew that this might mean that Jello's soul could no longer sustain itself.
After all, his soul had been present for far too long this time.
However, Lord Jello remained patient, seemingly hoping to learn more and avoid falling into danger.
Athena was deeply moved.
"Phew... Although I can't control Qin Chu's body forever, I can see everything that Qin Chu sees."
Qin Chu, playing the role of Jello, let out a long breath, his dark eyes sweeping out the window. Then, he explained the rescue of Benson, of course concealing Violet's true identity.
He spoke in a sinister tone:
When Qin Chu and Ekaterina caught up from behind and reached the Cavaniyas Mountain, they saw only the heads of thousands of Holy Knight of the Holy Knights Order.
"In the darkness, countless heads were piled together, forming a blood-soaked altar, with Benson's corpse placed at the very top."
"The ground turned into a pool of blood."
"Bonfires burned all around, illuminating the grotesque and terrifying human heads."
"The pungent stench of blood was nauseating. Karthus's body knelt beside the altar, and in the howling night wind, one could almost hear Karthus's somber and eerie prayers..."
Qin Chu had a good grasp of the atmosphere. Athena couldn't help but follow Qin Chu's voice, conjuring up a bloody, terrifying, and eerie scene in her mind. Her body shuddered, and a layer of fine goosebumps appeared on her skin.
Head Altar, pools of blood everywhere, howling night winds, burning bonfires, and eerie Knight...
This is Evil God, absolutely Evil God.
Such a scene would not occur during any normal prayer.
"This is what Ekaterina and I saw with our own eyes. Rosweisse begged Qin Chu to keep this a secret, using the promise of a date with Qin Chu as leverage. Qin Chu, the man you know, simply cannot refuse Rosweisse's invitation to a date."
Ninety percent of what he said was true, but that was enough to guide Athena.
"But this matter will eventually come to light, Augustus will find out about it very soon."
As for agreeing to keep this a secret from Rosweisse... it doesn't matter at all. It was Jello who told Athena, what does it have to do with Qin Chu?
As to how Augustus knew this, it's obvious that someone would tell him.
Athena finally understood why Ekaterina had said that she and Rosweisse were too close and not trustworthy!
Seeing that scene, even though you agreed to help cover it up out of consideration for being a member of the Hero's Party, it's normal to have doubts in your heart.
"Why... why would they do this?" Athena couldn't understand. Karthus was one thing, but Rosweisse was a saintess of the Holy Church. Why would she want to dabble in the power of Evil God?
"I don't know." Qin Chu shook his head silently.
Then, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and his face began to turn pale.
Athena knew that Qin Chu's consciousness was returning, and her eyes were filled with reluctance.
"Little Sina, get out of here right now, or that bastard Qin Chu will never let you go. Hurry up and leave..." Qin Jello, Qin Chu in a low, suppressed voice, his fingers trembling violently.
"Lord Jello, is there... is there anything else I need to do?" Athena asked quickly, knowing that time was running out.
"Soul Fragment, my Soul Fragment ..." Jello's voice was hoarse, as if he was struggling with his last strength to let out a low growl.
She remembered the Soul Fragment.
Athena, her eyes brimming with tears, finally got out of bed, kissed Qin Chu on the lips, then quickly put on her magic robe. At the door, she glanced one last time at the pained Lord Jello before leaving with tears in her eyes.
Just after Athena left, Qin Chu twitched his fingers slightly, creating an illusion in the room. The Eye of True Vision was unable to see through the illusion.
The real Qin Chu immediately returned to normal, stretching his body vigorously; today had certainly been quite busy.
Even though Qin Chu had good stamina, he felt a bit tired and his back ached.
Qin Chu pondered to himself, "Maybe I should go to the medicinal herb market tomorrow and see if I can buy some Moonflower..." Of course, he was only doing this for tea, not for any other random reason.
After leaving Qin Chu's room, Athena realized that she seemed to have forgotten to remove the Eye of True Vision from the bedroom.
If it were just Qin Chu, she could monitor him without restraint, but Qin Chu's body still contained Jello's remnant soul, so monitoring Lord Jello like this was really not a good idea.
However, it was too late to turn back and evacuate.
Right in front of Athena, Eye of True Vision could see that Qin Chu's body was already standing still, motionless. A few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head with a start, his expression clearly showing some confusion.
Athena seemed to hear Qin Chu's voice: Huh? Where did Athena go?
Seeing Qin Chu begin searching the room and even preparing to push open the door and rush out, Athena quickly quickened her pace and limped towards the outside of the palace.
It hurts!
Athena's lips trembled slightly.
It was supposed to be her most precious first time, and she wanted to spend some quality time with her beloved Lord Jello, but who would have thought it would end up in such a mess?
It's all that damned Qin Chu's fault.
As soon as Athena left the palace, she saw a tall figure leaning quietly against a lamppost with her arms crossed under a streetlamp in the distance. It was Ekaterina; she seemed to be waiting for her.
Athena frowned slightly, and dragging her weary body, she walked step by step toward Ekaterina.
Hearing footsteps, Ekaterina raised her eyes and glanced at Athena. Just by looking at Athena's gait, Ekaterina knew what had happened.
That damned vixen, she really did seduce her master.
There was an undisguised hostility in her eyes.
However, in Athena's eyes, that hostility was Ekaterina's dissatisfaction that she had broken her monopoly on Lord Jello.
"Looks like you've become a real woman too," Ekaterina, her voice laced with sarcasm.
"You seem quite dissatisfied?" Athena raised an eyebrow, responding sharply.
"How could that be? Although I don't want Jello to have too many women around him either, at least for now we have the same goal: to bring Jello back to life as soon as possible."
"For this goal, I'd even be willing to cooperate with you," Ekaterina said with a snort.
Athena lowered her eyes as well. "All our sacrifices were for Jello."
After a pause, Athena spoke again, "Should we tell the Hero's Party to abandon their original plan? Right now, all we need to do is focus on finding Jello's Soul Fragment..."
"No." Before he could finish speaking, Ekaterina interrupted him, "Jello never suspected that there was anyone in the Hero's Party who was plotting against him, but I didn't."
"I have absolutely no problem with it. After all, if I were the one who killed Jello, I would have had plenty of opportunities to do so these past few days."
Athena nodded, acknowledging that Ekaterina was not the mole.
"You're fine too, after all, you didn't seize such a good opportunity just now."
"But I don't trust anyone else. Lord Jello didn't tell you, did he? When we discovered Karthus and Rosweisse preparing the Head Altar, Karthus immediately attacked Qin Chu ... But who can guarantee that the attack was only aimed at Qin Chu, and not at the remnant soul of Jello's brother inside Qin Chu's body?" Ekaterina said in a low voice.
