Chapter 494: Chapter 339 Desecration? (1)

Qin Chu’s consciousness wandered within Angelica’s soul space, expansive like a vast forest, where he saw many of Angelica’s memory capsules.

He would peer into the memories of Silf and Asina, yet he had no intention of prying into Angelica’s memories.

The jungle was harder to search than the desert, with towering trees everywhere severely blocking Qin Chu’s view.

The only thing that slightly reassured Qin Chu was that no matter where his consciousness drifted, he never saw any traces of corruption by the Evil God.

Angelica’s Soul World was like a secluded utopia.

Tranquil and serene.

Perhaps this also reflected Angelica’s current state of mind. It seemed she was very content with her life now; otherwise, the Soul World would not appear as it did.

Qin Chu did not know how long he had drifted, but eventually, in the middle of the forest, he glimpsed a place unlike any other, neither the Blood Pool of Silf’s nor the altar of Asina’s.

It was just a simple woodhouse, fitting into the style of the great forest perfectly.

In front of the woodhouse was a garden nursery.

It was planted with a variety of vibrant flowers.

Angelica’s soul busied itself in the nursery, like a diligent little Elf.

Qin Chu did not disturb Angelica’s soul, only watching from a distance. The peace and quietude held a magical charm that made him somewhat yearn for it.

He observed Angelica’s soul closely, pure, natural, free of any impurities, absent of any gloomy and murky sensations, like a transparent sculpture of glass, crystal clear and untainted.

Her being was free of any dark-gray chains or crimson threads or the like.

It appeared that Angelica truly was not tainted by any Evil God.

Qin Chu finally let out a sigh of relief, but he was not entirely at ease. He still stayed there and observed carefully for a long time until the limit of time he could remain in Angelica’s soul space was reached before he withdrew.

However, Qin Chu did not see.

Right after his consciousness left, a small figure suddenly emerged from a flower bud.

This little thing, like a delicately crafted doll, showed just its head and spat out, "Pah, ’Evil God’ indeed—your whole family must be Evil Gods..."

"I am none other than a Residual Soul... of the Moon God!"

"As one of the only Divine Souls surviving the god war, besides Moile and the Holy Light, that descended from the moon, how dare they mistake me for an Evil God..."

The little thing ranted and suddenly retracted its neck, its small eyes rolling around as it glanced about its surroundings.

Then it let out a long breath of relief, thankfully, that guy truly had left.

Small hands pulled the surrounding petals, rewrapping itself inside the flower bud. It was safer inside... hmm, that guy would never find out that I’m hidden here.

To prevent myself from meeting that man, those beings in the Void really went to great lengths. They obstructed Angelica multiple times; their methods were actually quite crude compared to Moile.

At first, they were rather clever, creating coincidences to prevent Angelica from speaking up, but after Qin Chu became aware, they stopped pretending altogether, almost as if wanting to compete with Qin Chu.

Thinking back, which one of those ugly freaks is the one with the power over fate? The Fate Weaver? Such a pretentious name.

That thing’s power must also be severely limited; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so rudimentary.

However, are those beings overthinking things? Even without their interference, I would definitely not rashly meet that man.

No way around it; my soul is simply too frail now. Even getting close to that guy might lead to my annihilation, let alone any communication.

If I carelessly get branded as an Evil God, who would I go to if my ashes are scattered?

This man, the way he enters the Soul World, is truly terrible.

By the way, I am now also residing in this body; does this count as desecrating a deity?

The little thing clenched its small fist, You should be on the pyre, you know that, bastard!

...

On the other side.

Demon King City.

Luo Meng kept in mind the advice of Lord Horus and Candice.

Even though he was currently the most influential among the Demon King’s princes, with the highest number of achievements, it was all the more reason to remain humble now.

He must not let the killing of two members of the Hero Team or the disappearance—likely death—of his second brother Edrich and the demise of his eldest brother Diaberlic make him arrogant or ostentatious.

Demons might resolve issues with their fists, but that doesn’t mean they like those who are overbearing.

He knew he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and decided it was best to heed the suggestions of Horus and Candice in this matter.

Lord Horus wanted him to keep a close eye on the Demon side, especially the movements around the Demon King City and the Demon King Palace, and specifically told him it was best to inquire personally instead of delegating everything to his subordinates, as no one could guarantee they hadn’t been bought by his brothers.

And so, Luo Meng came over in earnest.

Candice also specifically instructed him that, although he had the makings of a Demon King, he should never assume he’s the Demon King now. He must lower his stance and not offend other demons casually.
