Chapter 589: Chapter 425 God says, Demons shall not exist (4)

The knightly spirit she had always upheld—loyalty, integrity—made Veronica find Qin Chu’s plan somewhat hard to accept. It was just too shameful, too despicable.

Was this a forgery of a miracle?

But Veronica quickly remembered that the person before her was a favored of the Goddess.

So without a doubt, everything Qin Chu had done must have been approved by the Goddess.

If the Goddess had no objections, she had even less reason to say anything. In fact, it seemed the Goddess even allowed His Holiness the Pope to use such deceitful methods without incurring any punishment, which was enough to prove how much the Goddess cherished Qin Chu.

However, Veronica soon had a new doubt.

"Your Holiness, this approach may be fine at the beginning, but as time goes by, won’t there be more and more people?"

Veronica had no doubt that once the so-called miracle was made known, the number of believers would skyrocket, and it would become impossible to keep up with sending food into people’s homes every day.

"What’s there to fear? The miracle only needs to appear occasionally," Qin Chu replied.

To put it bluntly, it was just a gimmick to create a sensation and achieve a promotional effect.

If miracles appeared too often, they would become cheapened.

"Once there are more people, we can simply prepare food in advance. All the elderly who participate in prayers can collect it based on headcount. That’s all there is to it."

"As for their job, it’s praying. I believe many would be willing to come for the food."

The elderly on Sky Dome Continent belonged to a very pitiful group. Since the young and able-bodied were the foundation for earning money to support the family, food was already scarce in homes and prioritized for the young. Going hungry was a common occurrence.

For a full meal, those elderly would certainly be more devout than any so-called holy man.

"While these elders are praying, we need to arrange for holy men to... um, I mean to teach them, you understand? We must constantly instill in them how beneficial it is to believe in the Holy Light Goddess, until they know it by heart."

"After things with the elderly are settled, we can establish orphanages and welfare institutions, starting with collecting street orphans and moving step by step."

Because Veronica was rigid in her thinking, Qin Chu had to meticulously plan many things. However, with Shaye in charge, there probably wouldn’t be any significant problems.

After Veronica left, Qin Chu also went over to Candice.

Candice wasn’t shy at all, and took a seat on Qin Chu’s leg, planting a deep kiss before she began reporting the latest intelligence.

"The demons are now a rising multitude," she said.

"At present, it’s basically confirmed that both the Demon Prince and the Second Prince are dead. Luo Meng, who had been the most competitive, suddenly lay low and has been quiet for so long, leading the offspring of other demon lords to sense their chance, pushing to the front lines to prove their worth."

"Among them, the most conspicuous is the Demon Prince Deacon, whom I’ve mentioned before!"

"Perhaps due to the humiliation by the Dark Witch previously, Deacon is eager to show that he has emerged from the shadows stronger than before. Moreover, since it’s really difficult for humans to organize a strong resistance, his continuous victories are nearly going to his head."

"He even wants to march straight into the Imperial City, with the rallying cry of ’Flatten Oville, capture the Hero alive.’"

Capture the Hero alive?

Such a big talk.

Since that’s the case, let’s start with this Deacon.

"Any news about Demon Prince Diaberlic?" Qin Chu abruptly asked.

For this Demon Prince, Qin Chu always had a lump in his heart, having killed Diaberlic himself, he could not comprehend the meaning behind the Demon King personally taking back the body.

He didn’t think the Demon King was the type to value familial affection that much.

Moreover, after taking it back, the body was brought straight to a secret chamber, and Qin Chu felt that Demon King Nage seemed to be preparing some very terrible plan.

Now Qin Chu had come to know that the so-called Demon King Nage was very likely the First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo or even a combination of the two, which made it even more imperative not to take him lightly.

"No news at all."

"I see, notify Luo Meng to keep watching Diaberlic’s movements, and if there’s any news, he can notify me at any time, of course, I will also send him a big gift, you know how to convey this to him, right?"

Candice giggled with her hand covering her mouth, the blood of the Enchanting Demon made every movement of Candice exceedingly charming, and her laughter was even more bewitching.

"Of course, Lord Horus, rest assured, I will arrange the words properly, Luo Meng won’t detect anything abnormal."

"That’s good, so now, tell me where Demon Prince Deacon is?"

...

The frontline.

Demons could be seen all over the hills and fields.

Deacon, the Demon Prince, had a mother from another dominant race among the demons, the Ape Clan, and Deacon had inherited his maternal bloodline, his body covered in curly mane, resembling a hairy baboon.

Of course, although Deacon’s stature was not as exaggerated as Luo Meng’s, it was still much more robust than a baboon’s, with a seven-meter-tall sturdy body and agility that completely belied his size. His huge palms could easily smash a diminutive human into mincemeat, and even the sturdiest armor crumbled like dry crumbs before Deacon.

Right at the central military camp, Deacon was proudly looking at the vassals around him.

His forces had multiplied by several times in this short period, though still not comparable to his stupid brother, he had already become a strong contender for the position of Demon King.

From originally being the Third Prince to becoming the laughingstock of many demons overnight, and now rising again, Deacon had certainly gone through a lot.

It was precisely because he had experienced the low points that Deacon’s greed for power and strength grew even more intense.

In Deacon’s view, his downfall was precisely because he didn’t have enough power and strength. As long as he stood on the high ground, no one could push him into the Abyss.

Since he personally led his army to war, his campaign could be described as a rapid and almost unresisted advance, and by now, he had already penetrated a hundred kilometers into human territory.

The consistently successful expeditions made Deacon even more arrogant.

Just look, the demons under his command may only be two hundred thousand, but these two hundred thousand demons were all the most brave warriors, invincible on the battlefield.

What merit was there in killing a few members of the Hero Team?

He intended to capture Qin Chu alive, for that was the true mark of merit.

Although Luo Meng was foolish, his methods against Ronald were quite effective. Deacon was also ready to follow suit, planning to present his subordinates with the captured Hero to enjoy.

In Deacon’s opinion, the day he would meet the Hero would not be far off.

Even though it was deep into the night, Deacon didn’t feel tired at all. On the contrary, he was unable to sleep. He was itching to invade the human kingdom immediately and trample everything under iron hooves.

Under the moonlight, as he gazed at the boundless stars above, Deacon’s ambition grew larger and larger.

Sooner or later, under these stars, it would all be Deacon’s territory.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the moonlight in the sky and interrupting Deacon’s daydreams of a bright future.

This made Deacon very dissatisfied. He thought it was some demon who was courting death, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a human.

Didn’t the sentries see him?

A mere human, daring to barge directly in front of the demon army, was he seeking death?

This disregard for his presence made Deacon curious about the man. Rearing his massive head, he stared at the figure in the sky: "Who are you?"

His voice echoed in the camp like distant thunder. Many demons woke up from their sleep, instinctively grabbing their weapons and flocking around the Prince.

In an instant, thousands of weird gazes were all focused on the tiny figure in mid-air.

No matter in the sky or on the ground, the man was completely surrounded by demons, leaving no way out.

Yet even in such a predicament, there was not a trace of fear on the man’s face; from beginning to end, he wore a human’s characteristic, gentlemanly smile.

That temperament, that momentum, that posture...

It was all for this man.

He even slightly bent his waist, his clear, loud voice spreading from mid-air: "Nice to meet you, I am Qin Chu."

Yes, this person was Qin Chu.

In the Exeter Kingdom, Qin Chu was also unsure of exactly how long it would take.

Having just become the Pope of the Holy Court, and with the Hero having been inactive for a long while, Qin Chu felt he needed to come over and earn some achievement value.

Unquestionably, Deacon was the best choice— who else to seek out when this guy was the most irritating thorn in the side recently?

Qin Chu?

Deacon was suddenly stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend for a few seconds before he finally remembered the somewhat familiar name... Qin Chu, wasn’t he the Hero?

What was he doing here?

Was it possible that he sensed the Third Prince’s invincibility and had come over to surrender voluntarily?

Just when he thought the day he would meet the Hero wouldn’t be far, it happened immediately.

After a brief moment of confusion, Deacon’s face, full of long hair, quickly showed a fierce and twisted smile. The Devil bless, today was truly his lucky day.

Since he had come, he shouldn’t think of leaving.

His eyes sparkled with strange excitement. Waving his hand to stop the demons around him who, after knowing the identity of the Hero, wanted to capture Qin Chu—this enemy, he wanted to take down personally.

Such a weak human, he could easily knock down with just one punch.

With the Hero out of the way, what awaited humanity would be eternal despair.

Deacon was excited, howling, greedy, as if he could already see himself ascending the throne for this great merit, worshiped by thousands of demons.

In Deacon’s eyes, the Hero in front of him was already a dead man.

He didn’t even want to waste another word on Qin Chu.

"Hehehehe..."

Accompanying the strange laughter, Demonic Qi violently roiled around Deacon’s body. In the next instant, his sturdy legs burst into action, and with a thunderous sound, his robust frame shot towards the sky like a cannonball.

He was anxious that Qin Chu might slip away by accident.

The surrounding demons howled and roared loudly, praising the Prince’s strength and invincibility. Various flattering voices drowned Deacon like a tide.

But Deacon had clearly misunderstood one thing: since Qin Chu had come, he had no intention of leaving so easily.

At least, not before slaughtering all the demons in front of him.

His face was perpetually filled with a smile, not the slightest bit of anger due to Deacon’s rude actions.

He gracefully spread his arms, and the Holy Light Scepter appeared in his palm.

Whoosh!

Behind him, a pair of Holy wings suddenly emerged.

With wings longer than three meters, carrying Qin Chu’s body aloft in mid-air, his body twinkled with bright Holy Light, looking the part indeed.

"God says..."

"Demons should not exist!"

The ethereal voice spread throughout the night sky.

Like a prayer of devotion.

As though it were the murmuring of a deity!
