Chapter 529: Chapter 371: Asina Has a Bold Conjecture (Thanks to the generous ssd889 for the 10,000 coin reward)

She felt ashamed of the strange reactions in her body.

Although the sensation had caused her great pain, torment, when everything settled down, her mind couldn’t help but flash back to that feeling from time to time.

Shaye Nicholas didn’t even understand what she had worked so hard to catch up for.

Was it just to teach this bastard a good lesson?

No, it was more than just that.

He must have done something shameless to her body, and she intended to remove all the shackles that bound her, no longer to be influenced by that man.

Besides, if he really wanted to do that sort of thing with her, couldn’t he just appear before her and make a request properly, rather than using such despicable means?

Pah, pah, pah, as if she would allow it.

Shaye Nicholas kept shaking her little head. If that guy really dared to approach her and brazenly make that kind of request, she would definitely slap him across the face and then capture the man to her laboratory for a proper education.

What angered Shaye Nicholas the most was that when she finally managed to catch up to this place, it was utterly deserted.

Only in the collapsing depths of the canyon were there still wisps of magic fluctuating.

Space Transmission Magic Array.

It was this magic again.

After a moment of sensing, Shaye Nicholas bit her lip hard with her pearly white teeth. How could the location indicated by the Space Transmission Magic Array now be the Imperial Palace of the Oville Empire?

Curse it, to what extent does he want to degrade her before he’s satisfied?

But don’t think you can escape, I will catch you.

...

Demon King Palace.

Demon King Nage’s body shook violently as he fell on his backside to the ground.

The fluctuations from the Divine Skull had finally subsided, and this unprecedented earthquake had also come to an end.

He was like a drowning person who had just crawled onto the shore, breathing greedily.

But it wasn’t long before Nage got up from the ground again. He knew he didn’t have much time to rest. The fluctuations from earlier had almost destroyed the Magic Restrictions he had left here, and he needed to rearrange them to limit the power of the Divine Skull.

Imperial Palace of the Oville Empire.

Wozworth was laughing maniacally, his expression almost distorted. He wasn’t as powerful as the Demon King, but it seemed like Wozworth wasn’t too heavily affected.

His eyes still sparkled with a weird luster.

This Divine’s Right Hand was his, and no one was going to take it from him.

Underneath his rough skin, it seemed as if numerous long, slippery things were writhing continuously.

In the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, Saint Monica was giving orders to arrange for the knights to rescue the wounded from the ruins.

At Wise Mountain, the twelve old men had finally dispelled the magic from their bodies. The prolonged expenditure had taken its toll, even on these Great Sages, nearly completely depleting their magic.

Their already old bodies looked even more decrepit.

Elsewhere, in the laboratory, Augustus was nearly drained as well.

He didn’t even have the strength to move a finger, and even though he was barely suppressing the fluctuations of Divine’s Left Leg using various prohibitions, the drain on Augustus was still quite dreadful.

However, Augustus knew he didn’t have much time to rest.

He had been away from the Holy Court for too long.

Crushing a Holy Crystal Stone, he rapidly absorbed the magic within it to replenish his nearly depleted body. Augustus rode a beam of light, swiftly heading in the direction of the Holy Court.

Philis.

May everything be well.

...

Imperial Palace of the Empire.

Hero’s palace.

Thanks to Norma’s presence, the earthquake’s fluctuations hadn’t harmed the palace.

As a dazzling light flashed, the figures of Qin Chu, Shaye, Antia, Helois, and Iyeta appeared in the courtyard. As Qin Chu used this ability more frequently, his control over it got better and better.

With accurate coordinates, the location would hardly deviate too much.

Just as Qin Chu had returned to the palace’s living room, he found there seemed to be more people than he had expected.

Asina and Silf had already returned.

In addition to those familiar faces, there was even the Daughter of Death, Ireta.

A crystal was positioned in Ireta’s palm, a Soul Fragment belonging to Jie Luo, and it seemed Ireta was perceiving the content recorded within this fragment.

Noticing Qin Chu’s arrival, Ireta slowly opened her dark eyes, nodded slightly towards him with a soft chuckle, exuding the grace of a lady.

With a gentle toss of her hand, the Soul Fragment flew towards Qin Chu.

"Miss Asina truly possesses the most resilient soul I have ever encountered. Her perception of the content branded within the Soul Fragment is without any omission."

The faces of Asina and Silf still visibly bore gloom and oppression, leaving no doubt that the content deciphered from the Soul Fragment had dealt a severe blow to both women.

Yet amid the gloom, Silf seemed to exhibit some relief, as if she had finally shed a heavy burden.

In contrast, the corners of Asina’s mouth curled into a faint, indifferent smile; clearly, this matter would not end so easily for her.

However, it might have been Qin Chu’s misconception, but he felt that the occasional glances from Asina and Silf contained something different from before.

It was vaguely similar to his past encounters with Catherine, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

Meanwhile, Shaye was leaning on Qin Chu’s shoulder, sporting a triumphant smile.

Although there were many things she wanted to say, Asina promptly gathered her thoughts and conveyed to Qin Chu everything she had deduced from the Soul Fragment, along with her own various speculations.

After her last contact with Qin Chu, Asina had pondered deeply for a while and carried out even more meticulous speculation and consideration.

She shared with Qin Chu the additional content she had deciphered from the Soul Fragment.

When Qin Chu learned of a talent as unusual as the "power of a virgin" existing in this world, he was utterly stupefied.

Aside from not requiring castration, what’s the difference between this and the Sunflower Manual?

Nevertheless, the sheer strength of this talent also left Qin Chu profoundly shocked; defying the rules of the Sky Dome Continent, it allowed one to break through the Hundred-level limit without any hardship and reach heights unimaginable to countless genius talents who struggled their whole lives.

If the Second Generation Jie Luo really was someone who could control his will, just surviving a few hundred years in the Sky Dome Continent would lead to inconceivable strength.

Unfortunately, the Second Generation Jie Luo inherited the memory and personality of the First Generation Jie Luo, and well... considering he had an affair with his girlfriend’s best friend, it was uncertain whether he could withstand the negative effects of this Power, at least Qin Chu couldn’t say for sure.

"There are now three possibilities," Asina continued.

"The first is that Jie Luo has taken over the consciousness of Demon King Nage, becoming the new Demon King."

"Another possibility is that Jie Luo has reached some agreement with Demon King Nage, allowing Jie Luo to reside within the Demon King’s body. After all, the fact that Demon King Nage agreed to a one-on-one duel with Jie Luo is also weird."

"The third possibility is that the souls of Jie Luo and Demon King Nage have completely fused."

After a moment’s pause, Asina added, "The third would be the worst case. If their souls have combined, then the current Jie Luo, or Nage, would have the soul strength, Power, talents, and Strength of two persons, which would create a terrifyingly formidable enemy."

Qin Chu’s expression gradually grew more solemn.

He racked his brain for the events of the first week when he encountered Nage... Unfortunately, in the first week, he had been too focused on advancing the main storyline and had skipped all dialogues.

Even now, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t recall any particularly memorable scenes, let alone determine what the current state of Nage was.

"Do you have any other theories?" Qin Chu decided to put that thought aside for the moment and continued to inquire from Asina, tossing the Soul Fragment back to her in the process.

Asina’s slender fingers caressed the Soul Fragment, her gaze suddenly turned icy.

She felt the urge to crush the Soul Fragment, but she restrained herself; the Soul Fragment still had a purpose.

"It’s about Rose Vesper’s Resurrection Technique."

Qin Chu perked up with interest: "What’s the problem with this Resurrection Technique?"

Asina shook her head: "No, the problem isn’t the Resurrection Technique, but the person who provided the technique to Rose Vesper."

Qin Chu sat across Asina, anticipating her upcoming explanation. He admired her intelligence, and the sense of satisfaction when such a clever person was working on his behalf was quite wonderful.

Many things Qin Chu had not thought of, Asina had taken into consideration.

Asina felt her cheeks warm slightly under Qin Chu’s gaze, bewildered by her reaction since she had never reacted this way before. She involuntarily averted her eyes to the side, cleared her throat before saying:

"At first, I speculated that it might have been Jie Luo’s soul manipulating someone to give the Resurrection Technique to Rose Vesper."

"After all, the writing on the Resurrection Technique scroll is very similar to Jie Luo’s handwriting."

"But I quickly dismissed this possibility. After all, Jie Luo had devised so many schemes, even going so far as to fake his own death, all for a singular purpose: to free himself from the gaze and shackles of the Void. If so, what would be the point in seeking his own resurrection?"

"Once resurrected, he would immediately attract the attention of the eyes from the Void again, rendering all his past efforts fruitless. I simply cannot see the reason behind Jie Luo doing such a thing."

Asina’s spirit steadied, and she regained her bewitching and confident demeanor.

Qin Chu nodded; Asina’s analysis made sense.

Why bother resurrecting after all the trouble of faking one’s own death? It’s like redundant effort, as long as one is not wearing leather pants.

Qin Chu had harbored some doubts about the origin of Rose Vesper’s Resurrection Technique, but he had been more focused on the enemies before him and had not given it much deep thought.

"So who do you think gave the Resurrection Technique to Rose Vesper?"

Asina took a deep breath: "I have a bold speculation."

"Could the Resurrection Technique actually originate from an Evil God in the Void?"
