Hero? Are You Worthy?

Chapter 471: Chapter 317: The Identity of Saint Monica (4)

Qin Chu’s expression was strange.

He wasn’t surprised that Saint Monica wanted to kill him, but he had believed that it would only happen after he became a threat to Saint Monica, Wozworth, and Augustus, leading the three old men to join forces with members of the Hero Team to take action against him.

Yet, from Asina’s memories, it appeared that Saint Monica had already been preparing to kill him shortly after he arrived in this world, before he had shown any sign of being a threat?

Qin Chu felt that Saint Monica’s eagerness was somewhat abnormal. He steadied his consciousness and continued to observe Asina’s memories, where he could not only access her recollections but even perceive her emotions at the time.

In the memory, Asina’s brows were tightly knit. She didn’t feel disgust towards the task of killing Qin Chu, but she was curious about why Saint Monica wanted to kill him.

"Why kill Qin Chu?" Asina raised an eyebrow, twirling a strand of hair beside her ear with a slender finger. She was somewhat resistant to the order since, according to the Hero Team’s plans, it wasn’t yet time for Qin Chu to die.

At that moment, Asina was brimming with confidence, and her voluptuous figure imbued every movement with an enticing charm.

"Qin Chu is the Hero, shouldn’t he be the hope of Sky Dome Continent? Who will help us fight against demons if we kill Qin Chu?" Asina inquired, "Your Highness Saint Monica, surely you don’t believe you can confront the Demon King yourself?"

"The matter of combating demons is not for you to worry about. There will be a strength more powerful than the Hero to help us eradicate those filthy beings," Saint Monica replied with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth and a slight hint of madness in her voice.

Asina’s eyes narrowed into slits, "Why me?"

"Because you are a member of the Hero Team and you spend your days with Qin Chu. It would be most convenient for you to do it," Saint Monica said forthrightly.

A cold smile appeared on Asina’s face, "Do you think I’m a fool? Assassinate the Hero? Setting aside the importance of the Hero to Sky Dome Continent, even if I could ignore all that, would I have any good days ahead if I truly killed the Hero? Would Zimmerman, Augustus, Wozworth, those old men let me go?"

"You needn’t worry about that," Saint Monica reassured Asina with a smile, "After you kill the Hero, I will appoint you as the Vice Patriarch of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect. In the entire Church, your position will be second only to mine, and I will use all the power of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect to protect you completely."

Yeah, right, Qin Chu thought. Probably at that moment, Saint Monica would kick Asina aside without hesitation.

To stand against the pressure from the Royal Family and the Holy Court to protect Asina, the Earth Mother Goddess Sect would have to pay too great a price—perhaps leading to its destruction. Saint Monica could not bear such a loss.

Asina was a very intelligent woman and would obviously not fall for such an empty promise. She nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing, "I’ll consider it..."

After a pause, she spoke again, "I’m curious, why take action against the Hero? Killing the Hero now does no good for Sky Dome Continent."

Saint Monica didn’t conceal anything; this elegant and noble Church Venerable spread her arms wide, her face adorned with a slightly fanatic smile, and from her lips came a hollow, prayer-like voice, "Because it is the will of God."

Oracle.

Instantly, Qin Chu thought of the information Angelica had brought before, that the Earth Mother Goddess Sect had suddenly received an oracle whose content no one knew.

Could it be that this so-called oracle was to have him killed?

Asina seemed to have difficulty tolerating Saint Monica’s attitude. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her gaze was fixed intently on the elegant and noble woman facing her, "Saint Monica, you should be well aware that the God Sect has not received any oracle for a thousand years. The Earth Mother Goddess is long gone."

Saint Monica’s eyes shone with fervor and a touch of madness. She was not angered by Asina’s words, but simply shook her head, "No, Asina, you are mistaken."

"God has always been here."

"It is just that foolish humans are unaware."

"Do not question; just follow the will of God."

Watching Saint Monica’s demeanor, Asina seemed to know she couldn’t persuade her and abandoned the thought, nodding and preparing to leave.

But Asina was a woman full of doubts.

Even with the most ordinary matters, she habitually questioned them, let alone Saint Monica’s abnormal behavior at present.

The weird excitement and madness gave Asina a bad feeling.

Asina didn’t immediately leave the Church but found a dark corner to hide her tracks, watching Saint Monica leave the chapel and quickly head in a certain direction. After brief hesitation, Asina promptly followed.

She wanted to see what the Church Venerable was up to. Saint Monica shouldn’t be this kind of person.

What had happened to Saint Monica during the years Asina had left the Church after Jie Luo’s death?

Asina was no match for Saint Monica, but she could barely manage to conceal her magic power fluctuations and avoid detection by Saint Monica.

Silently trailing behind, Asina followed Saint Monica’s figure to a grand hotel.

This scene left Asina with a strange look on her face.

Lord Sect Master doesn’t really sneak around in hotels with strange men, does she?

Isn’t she afraid of being caught by the leader of the Earth Knight Order? That’s her husband, after all. Well, even if the leader of the Knight Order found out, he probably couldn’t do much about it, since he’s a man so wooden that he’s almost stupefied. Sometimes Asina even wonders if that guy is actually a puppet.

Moreover, Saint Monica is stronger in terms of strength.

In such a case, even if the Knight Order leader knew about Saint Monica’s affair, he would have no choice but to dutifully wear the cuckold’s cap.

However, this situation completely aroused Asina’s curiosity. She was curious about who the man was having an affair with Saint Monica, which man could be so outstanding that Saint Monica would fancy him?

Asina couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. Saint Monica usually appeared elegant, distinguished, gentle, and mature, giving people a very comfortable feeling. But she wouldn’t have thought that behind the scenes, she was no different from those nobles of the Empire and the holy men of the Church.

Shameless slut.

After cursing silently, Asina took to the air noiselessly and finally saw clearly through the window another figure in the hotel room, besides Saint Monica.

When she saw that person, Asina was shocked.

That... was a woman.

And a quite beautiful one at that.

Tall and athletic with long, graceful legs, her curves were balanced, and her icy blue hair fell behind her like clouds.

Asina really didn’t expect that she’d accidentally witness such explosive content. She hadn’t thought that the person having an affair with Saint Monica would actually be a woman. Could these preferences be a bit weird?

Not seeing the scene she wanted, Asina felt bored, turned around, and left, not seeing what the two of them talked about or what happened afterward.

Asina didn’t pay much mind to the beautiful woman, but when Qin Chu caught sight of her, his consciousness was struck a severe blow and was forced to separate from Asina’s memory.

Qin Chu recognized the identity of that woman.

The woman was none other than the Empress of Wozworth, the Vice President of the Blissful Witch Association, Mevis.

Qin Chu couldn’t put out of his mind the terrifying scene of Mevis giving birth to the offspring of a god after absorbing a great amount of nourishment.

Why would Saint Monica be in contact with Mevis? Could it be that the two of them are close confidantes? If it’s as simple as that, why meet in secret, sneaking around in a hotel room?

Does Saint Monica know the identity of Mevis as the Vice President of the Blissful Witch Association?

In an instant, numerous thoughts emerged in Qin Chu’s consciousness, intertwining together. Qin Chu wanted to sort out these thoughts clearly.

Do they worship the same Divine? Recalling Asina’s memory he had just peered into, in that room, he could even see a weird Divine Statue that was neither entirely male nor female.

Connecting that to what Florence, the mother of the former Church Venerable of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, Onions, said — that Saint Monica has already gone somewhat mad and no longer worships the Earth Mother Goddess, but another peculiar Divine being.

And that being, is definitely not some benign god.

More and more clues came together, and the muddled thoughts in Qin Chu’s consciousness finally became clear at this moment.

Previously, Qin Chu had suspected that Saint Monica was the chairwoman of the Blissful Witch Association. After all, according to the intelligence he had, the status of members within the Blissful Witch Association and their strength and social standings were closely related.

Mevis, as the Empress, is very powerful yet only the Vice President. Then, throughout the entire Sky Dome Continent, probably only one person could surpass Mevis in both strength and status — Saint Monica.

However, the Fiery Flame Witch Phil had stated that Saint Monica was still a virgin, and considering the chaos and indulgence within the Blissful Witch Association, Qin Chu directly ruled Saint Monica out.

It’s impossible for there to be pure women in that place, absolutely impossible.

But now, the memories glimpsed from Asina unmercifully negated his previous judgment.

At this moment, Qin Chu was almost completely certain that Saint Monica is a member of the Blissful Witch Association, and furthermore, very likely the chairwoman herself.

Although he knew it’s wrong to judge by appearances, Qin Chu really struggled to associate the elegant and distinguished Saint Monica with a place like the Blissful Witch Association.

Would the Blissful Witch Association allow such a pure woman to join their ranks?

How has this woman managed to maintain her purity in such a place filled with indulgence and degeneracy?
