Chapter 563: Chapter 402 Little Saye’s Restlessness (1)

Asina was incredibly shy.

Although she had already been through quite a bit, it was always Qin Chu who took the initiative, and Asina could even make the excuse that Qin Chu was somewhat coercive, coercing herself, to evade the slight guilt in her heart.

As for the situation being completely reversed, Asina had never tried it before.

But, perhaps because Asina had learned from Jie Luo’s soul fragment what that once dearly loved man really thought of her, the guilt in her heart naturally vanished under such circumstances.

Plus, with the mysterious yearning of her body and the throbbing in her heart, she ultimately chose to accept. She cast a seductive glance sideways, seeing Qin Chu lying there motionless, clearly decided to not exert any effort today, right?

Of course, Asina still found a pretty good excuse for herself in her mind: this was just for treatment. She just wanted to get rid of the bondage of the Evil God Statue in her soul as soon as possible, nothing more.

...

Meanwhile, inside the palace.

Little Shaye still had not rested.

Sleep was not a necessity for her; her soft and slender body lightly perched on the windowsill, gazing out at the night sky.

She had not forgotten the feeling of being observed by the Void.

It was the first time in her life that Little Shaye felt fear... before this, no matter if she encountered other mad witches, Demon King Nage, or even when she believed she had fallen into some sort of trap in the Imperial City, her heart had never been so frightened.

She couldn’t forget the sensation of her skin instantly breaking out in a dense layer of goosebumps.

Do not peer into the Void.

It was a warning that had echoed in her mind ever since she was born in this world.

After being watched by the Void, Little Shaye felt its terror even more keenly; she should, by all accounts, stay far away from it.

But that’s how people are: sometimes the more you fear something, the more you warn yourself not to engage with it, the more profound your curiosity becomes about that unknown, and the greater your desire to peer into it.

Even though such actions might bring about irreversible disasters.

Little Shaye smiled helplessly to herself.

The other Shaye had already explained to her the true nature of the red liquid that Demon King Nage provided, and that inside him there might be another soul plotting a cunning and deceitful plan.

But, Little Shaye didn’t care too much.

As far as she was concerned, all she needed was to be able to focus on her experiments peacefully, without worrying about all sorts of herbs and materials; in this regard, the Demon King City had always done quite well.

No matter how precious the herbs were, as long as she mentioned them, they would be delivered to the laboratory entrance in no time at all.

Things were supposed to be like that, but for some reason, she still remained in the palace until now.

The other her also kept her promise very well, not getting involved with Qin Chu these days, which reassured Little Shaye.

But, on the other hand, she always felt as if something was missing.

Suddenly, Little Shaye lifted her chin, her small ears trembling slightly.

She seemed to have heard a sound coming from the main building, where Qin Chu’s bedroom was.

At first, the sound was somewhat suppressed, not very clear, but soon Little Shaye made out that it was Asina’s voice, which went from being suppressed initially to becoming uninhibitedly indulgent.

Little Shaye could only feel her cheeks getting redder and redder.

Just listening to that voice, all sorts of images seemed to appear before Little Shaye’s eyes.

At some time in the past, such sounds had even emanated from her own mouth.

In the moonlight, her scarlet eyes were even covered with a layer of mist... She thought she had finally gotten through those days and forgotten that feeling.

But now, Asina’s voice instantly awakened the memories Little Shaye had sealed away.

Turns out, she had never forgotten.

Her cool heart suddenly became a whirlpool of confusion, various thoughts and ideas rushing to her at this moment.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, the night sky returned to its usual tranquility, Little Shaye’s back lightly leaning against the window edge, her soft cherry lips exhaling like orchids, her gaze silky.

She had never felt as restless as she did now.

She wanted to leave this place, to be far from here, yet she was strangely hesitant.

Her small hand gently caressed the windowsill. Speaking of which... what exactly did that feeling feel like?

...

Qin Chu rarely tried this, but occasionally giving all the initiative to the other party also had its own unique flavor.

At this moment, Qin Chu’s consciousness had already entered the depths of Asina’s soul.

With the experience from the previous intrusion, this time could be considered familiar territory. His consciousness swiftly navigated through a stretch of yellow sand, and before long, Qin Chu had already located the target.

It was still that huge altar, and still the soul of Asina bound by layers of chains.

On the altar, the remnants of the crushed statue of the Lord of Pleasure still remained in place, unaltered, which somewhat reassured Qin Chu; at least there was no dreadful scenario like the statue being restored.

His gaze swept over the remaining six statues.

A massive and strange toad, a human face in twisted flames, a figure on top of the White Bone Throne as if cast from fresh blood, a bizarre sphere covered with dense vertical pupils, rotting flesh below encrusted with dense tentacles, a huge dark red cloud split open by a fierce crevice extending dense tentacles...

These statues, they still looked as ugly, twisted, and nauseating as before, exuding an ominous aura in waves.

Asina’s soul was still bound in the center of the altar, like a pitiful sacrificial offering.

Last time he rescued Asina’s soul, Qin Chu nearly exhausted all his might to stimulate the power of Holy Light, causing Asina’s soul to be damaged. Now, after such a long time, Asina’s soul had almost recovered.

She noticed Qin Chu’s presence, and even that face, identical to her physical one, revealed a trace of a smile, seemingly welcoming Qin Chu’s arrival.

Qin Chu was unable to communicate with Asina’s soul, but from the expressions of the soul, he could glimpse some insights.

Nodding slightly, Qin Chu’s consciousness drifted above the altar, seemingly searching for the next target.

Eventually, Qin Chu locked onto the target of the rotting piece of flesh covered with dense tentacles below.

There was no particular reason; he just didn’t like the look of it, and that was it.

In the next instant, Qin Chu’s consciousness suddenly wrapped around it.

But this time, Qin Chu did not use the power of Holy Light. Both Gluttony Authority and the Devourer were mobilized at the same time.

The hunger induced by the Gluttony Authority and the Devourer’s power of greed had some similarities; both were plundering, yet there were differences as well.

The Devourer could only consume the energy and power of living beings. Facing beings stronger than oneself, the Devourer would be severely restricted, even completely ineffective.

The Gluttony Authority, on the other hand, transformed what it ate into energy that could be used by oneself, with a conversion rate far exceeding that of the Devourer. However, this transformation was only temporary; once the energy was released, it would dissipate, and authorities too would be directly swallowed and converted. But... In theory, the Gluttony Authority could devour everything, whether it be a large tree, a river, a mountain peak; any material existence in this world had nothing the Gluttony Authority couldn’t consume... Even deadly poison could be converted into energy by the Gluttony Authority, even swords stabbing into the body could be consumed, even magic and martial arts used to attack oneself could be devoured.

Even a god, could be devoured for show...

Of course, whether it could be digested was another matter.

Since the Devourer was only an ability derived from Super Order Power compared to Gluttony Authority, it was inherently a level weaker.

If it were not greed power but the authority of greed, the effect of the Devourer would probably not be inferior to the squirming hunger.

As thoughts flashed through his consciousness, the squirming hunger had already swept over the head of the bizarre Divine Statue. Amid its faint presence, it seemed as though a crisp snapping sound could be heard.

The top of the Divine Statue’s head immediately had a large chunk nibbled away.

This effect was even more exaggerated than Qin Chu had imagined, possibly a bit frightening.

The Divine Statue seemed to sense the threat, swaying slightly, causing the chains extending from it to make a clattering sound.

In a barely discernible manner, Qin Chu had a strange illusion that the other five remaining Divine Statues were all facing his direction, their weird gazes fixed on his consciousness.

For an instant, Qin Chu’s consciousness was inexplicably fluctuating, even feeling as if it was about to collapse.

Qin Chu quickly stabilized his spirit, knowing that he didn’t have much time left. The state of the Holy Light Goddess was somewhat alarming, the Evil God’s ability to interfere with the Lower Realm was stronger than before, and if one was not careful in attracting the will of the Evil God into Asina’s soul space, it would be a very bad situation, both for himself and for Asina.

Gluttony Authority was pushed to the limit by Qin Chu, the squirming hunger wrapped around the Divine Statue, and the sound of crunching was continuous, the bald top of the Divine Statue’s head rapidly disappearing piece by piece.

The Devourer eventually made its appearance at this moment, quickly entwining itself around the damaged Divine Statue, and madly penetrating into the interior.

Having absorbed the statue of the Lord of Pleasure before, Qin Chu already knew that within these Divine Statues lay slivers of Divinity, though incredibly faint, they were definitely a tonic for himself, and Qin Chu did not want the Gluttony Authority to consume this Divinity as well.

Due to the destruction caused by the Gluttony Authority, the invasion of the Devourer was much easier than last time. In not too long, it had completely penetrated the Divine Statue’s interior, followed by a powerful suction coming from the Devourer.

Creak, creak, creak...

The eerie sounds continued to come, and amid this teeth-grinding noise, a wisp of pale gray thread was forcibly pulled out of the Divine Statue by the Devourer.

Qin Chu’s consciousness surged forward, directly absorbing the thread.

The Decomposer!

Divine Decomposition!
