Hero? Are You Worthy?
Chapter 523 - 365: Devouring the Heart of the Evil God (4)

Chapter 523: Chapter 365: Devouring the Heart of the Evil God (4)

In that instant, Asina and Silf were utterly baffled.

They would never have guessed that this was the reason.

No wonder Jie Luo had never laid a hand on any of these girls—even though sometimes they could feel his gaze filled with heat and desire, he would ultimately do nothing and even distance himself deliberately.

Turns out it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, nor was he any gentleman of virtue.

It was purely because doing anything would instantly cause Jie Luo to lose his great power, leaving him unable to do anything at all.

Perhaps, this was the punishment spoken of by the First Generation Jie Luo.

Having so many youthful, beautiful, charming, and alluring girls around, yet only being able to look and not touch, not even daring to look for too long or think for too long, it was indeed a torture for a man.

If the First Generation Jie Luo had really come into this world and not been stripped of his body and identity, he probably couldn’t have stayed the Hero for long—he definitely wouldn’t be able to restrain himself for long from having an affair with a girlfriend’s best friend, eventually losing his Strength and his status as the Hero,

Moreover, this Power was ineffective against the same sex.

No wonder Jie Luo was always hanging out with those men.

Could it be that something had actually happened between Jie Luo and Ronald?

The two girls exchanged glances, both sensing that the other’s mind was probably filled with some rather terrible images.

"Cough cough... let’s go back," Asina interrupted the mess of thoughts in her mind and said.

Silf quickly nodded her little head, but just a few steps out, suddenly felt an intense tremor under her feet.

Looking down, they saw the small gravel on the ground continuously bouncing, the tree trunks and branches in the distance violently swaying, and even the mountain peaks in the distance seemed to shake incessantly.

This weird situation made the faces of the two girls involuntarily stern—what was going on?

An earthquake?

...

On the other hand, deep within the Grand Canyon, a bottle of the Evil God’s Blood’s Energy had been completely absorbed.

Qin Chu’s strength had increased a bit, but not much as usual.

Although he was able to absorb, he did so at a slow pace, and the majority of the benefits were plundered by the Divinity, Little Tree Seedling, and goddess hair within him.

With Shaye Nicholas, Antia, Helois, and Iyeta around, even if Qin Chu was affected by the Evil God’s Blood and felt strong urges, he was always able to release it promptly.

Of course, these girls also reaped quite a few benefits.

Shaye Nicholas’s strength was steadily climbing, and although it might take a while to reach the strongest state, hope was already in sight.

Antia’s body had grown more stable than before, her skin translucent like jade, even shimmering with a faint glow.

Helois and Iyeta, being the weakest in terms of strength and therefore able to devour the least amount of Energy, yet both of their Levels still saw an upgrade.

Looking around the Grand Canyon, Qin Chu felt somewhat regretful.

While this place was weird, there was no denying that it was the perfect place to digest power.

Here, he would not be disturbed for any reason, and if he could stay here for a year and a half, Qin Chu felt certain that when he emerged, no one on the Sky Dome Continent would be his match.

However, he had been away for quite some time, and he had no idea what the situation was like at the palace—Angelica was waiting for him there, after all.

His gaze swept over the massive, bizarre heart, and his eyes were full of regret; it was a pity that the thing was too large to take with him.

Leaving it here was hard to bear, always feeling that if someone else came along and discovered this treasure, that would be really bad.

In his mind, Qin Chu had already subconsciously started to think of this huge heart as his own.

While the other girls were tidying up their clothes and packing up their belongings, Qin Chu slowly walked up to the heart.

Perhaps it was because of the increase in strength, or maybe it was because he had absorbed more and more of the Evil God’s Blood, making his tolerance greatly enhanced - the oppressive feeling from the Evil God Heart was no longer as intense as it had been before.

He stroked the giant heart with his fingers, gently tilting his head back.

An odd idea suddenly emerged in Qin Chu’s mind—what if he took it home and made soup out of it? How many meals could he get from it?

Damn... he must’ve been influenced by the Gluttony Authority again, right?

Why did he always think about whether he could eat something upon seeing it?

He, Qin Chu, was definitely not such a gluttonous person.

However... the Gluttony Authority really seemed worth trying out.

The description was vague, merely stating that you could devour anything in this world.

It sounded extremely exaggerated, but if the description was true, then even this massive heart might not be impossible to swallow whole.

Qin Chu’s eyes were now narrowed to slits.

The restlessness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, maybe... he should give it a try? Trying it wouldn’t cost anything.

If he really couldn’t swallow it and take it with him, then he would just have to abandon hope completely and give up.

Once the thought occurred to him, he found it increasingly hard to control himself.

After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu suddenly opened his mouth wide and activated the Gluttony Authority.

The next moment... roar...

A sound, faint yet resonant like the roar of the fiercest beast on Earth, began to echo through the canyon.

In an instant, both sides of the canyon shook violently, and chunks and fragments of stone incessantly fell from the sky.

The sudden turn of events took Shaye, Antia, Helois, and Iyeta by surprise, their eyes instinctively turning towards Qin Chu, none knowing what he intended to do.

However, upon seeing Qin Chu’s current appearance, everyone’s face was full of weird expressions.

What on earth had Qin Chu become?

His body seemed to have expanded a size larger, transforming into a giant several meters tall, his arms spread wide as if embracing something with all his might.

His mouth was opened to its limit.

One after another, transparent objects, as thick as thumbs and cylindrical in shape, sprayed out from Qin Chu’s mouth.

These weird objects thickened and lengthened immediately after leaving Qin Chu’s mouth, turning into terrifying chains that rapidly wrapped around the gigantic heart.

At the same time, an astonishing sucking force emerged from Qin Chu’s mouth, and a vortex-like current appeared all around.

Anyone witnessing this scene would understand that Qin Chu intended to swallow the Evil God Heart whole.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Shaye was dumbfounded as well; she had not anticipated that Qin Chu would be so desperate to the point of attempting to swallow such an Evil God Heart—how could such a thing be swallowed on a whim?

Even though Qin Chu had transformed into a giant, he still appeared exceptionally minuscule in front of the heart that stretched for hundreds of meters.

A series of savage roars, filled with primordial energy, continuously came from Qin Chu’s body.

Blocks of bulging muscles could be clearly seen on his body, his legs supporting the ground while his hands firmly gripped those semi-transparent chains, which instantaneously straightened under tension.

Qin Chu’s strength was undoubtedly immense.

The Authority of Gluttony was certainly not weak either.

In front of Qin Chu, a vast void had almost formed, the area so thoroughly void of air that not even the breeze erred, all sucked clean by Qin Chu.

However, despite all this effort, the gigantic heart remained motionless as if it were an ancient mountain that no power in this world could destabilize.

The roars echoed through the canyon, Qin Chu struggling with the Evil God’s heart, his legs now entirely sunk into the hard ground beneath him.

In the jungle on both sides of the canyon, countless birds and beasts, sensing something amiss, shrieked with terror and fled, attempting to escape the impending disaster.

Rustle, rustle...

Accompanied by a series of weird noises, long, twisted dark brown roots wound around Qin Chu’s arms, rapidly spreading along his limbs.

In no time, like those semi-transparent chains, they all wrapped around the Evil God Heart.

Little Tree Seedling was lending a hand.

The moment it first saw the Evil God Heart, the Little Tree Seedling had thrown itself at it eagerly, only to be gravely injured by accident. Now, after absorbing a massive amount of energy, not only had its injuries healed, but it had also grown significantly.

In a short span, the enormous heart was wrapped inside and out, bunched up like a wrapped rice dumpling.

With the help of the Little Tree Seedling, Qin Chu’s strength suddenly increased by a great deal.

The Authority of Gluttony was taking effect, and the goddess hair on his wrist shone brightly.

Hum...

And the heart, which had been silent for who knows how long, throbbed!

It was almost like an illusion as Shaye, Antia, Helois, and the others rubbed their eyes, looking again to see that the heart, once hundreds of meters tall, seemed to have shrunk just a tad.

Boom, boom, boom...

It was this slight shrinkage that triggered a terrifying disturbance.

The earth cracked open, and innumerable fissures spread across the mountain walls like spider webs.

Terrifying energy surged forth from deep within the ground.

The canyon walls on both sides began to collapse as large and small chunks of earth and boulders fell from above, while thick yellowish dust clouded the sky.

An earthquake had come!

...

At nearly the same time, the Demon King Palace in the deepest depths of the Monster Territory began to shake violently.

The majestic palace was split open by a giant fissure from the ground’s trembling, and in an instant, half of it collapsed.

The fearsome earthquake spread out madly in all directions from the Demon King Palace, the cracked earth swallowing countless demons that failed to dodge in time.

The rampaging shockwaves turned into tsunami-like waves that swept across everything in the vicinity—trees, demons, and boulders were all churned into fragments in moments.

In an instant, the entire Monster Territory was thrown into chaos.

Inside a secret chamber, Demon King Nage, who was conducting various experiments on a large corpse, abruptly stood up. He could feel mysterious vibrations emanating continuously from the deepest part of the Demon King Palace, his face filled with shock:

"This is impossible, it hasn’t been nine years..."
