Chapter 631: Chapter 457: Swallow the Pride Witch (Request for Monthly Tickets)

His body floated back and forth in mid-air, and occasionally he had to worry about accidentally hitting the tree trunks below. Qin Chu didn’t care at all that he was still a pitiable patient, feeling as if his body was about to fall apart from the ordeal.

Little Shaye was very angry now.

This made Qin Chu helplessly complain incessantly in his heart. He had struggled only a little at the beginning, and then his body had become weak and compliant amid sweet whispers. Now that it was over, she was pretending not to recognize him, right?

Shaye was so much better. If Shaye had been here, she would definitely not have acted this way, she would have been gentle for sure.

Of course, Qin Chu didn’t dare to say this out loud. The last thing Little Shaye wanted was to be compared to Great Shaye, only to conclude that she was inferior... Once these words left Qin Chu’s mouth, he might not be just hung in mid-air, but dragged across the ground instead.

A little while passed, and Little Shaye finally sighed. Her hand shook and the whip formed from Dark Magic lifted Qin Chu up into the air naturally.

Her delicate arms gently wrapped around Qin Chu’s body. Perhaps because she felt so shy inside, Little Shaye didn’t say a word throughout the whole process.

Qin Chu knew Little Shaye’s temperament very well, she definitely wouldn’t say anything unnecessary at this moment, otherwise, if Little Shaye became infuriated with embarrassment, he would be thrown down again.

A shield formed from Magic Power floated around, blocking the chilly night wind, and Qin Chu felt much warmer.

Little Shaye’s cheeks were still somewhat red. It was not until the Royal City appeared in front of them again that Little Shaye finally slowed down a bit, "When we get back, you should go find Adelina."

"Eh?" Qin Chu was a bit surprised, not expecting Little Shaye to say that.

After all, Little Shaye’s possessiveness was actually very strong.

"The Authority of Pride is still very important to you, isn’t it?" Little Shaye’s gaze inadvertently swept across the starry sky above.

In that expanse of darkness, there hid numerous entities beyond the gaze of mere mortals.

Little Shaye knew deeply how terrifying those entities’ powers were. Even though Qin Chu had the will to confront the Void God, his strength was ultimately too weak.

Before, it was only a slight will of the Void God that had come down and left Qin Chu heavily injured.

If the true body of the Void God were to descend, Qin Chu’s physical body, along with his soul, would likely be obliterated in an instant.

After a brief pause, Little Shaye couldn’t help but speak again, "Of course, I’m not saying you must do that sort of thing with Adelina, I mean... there must be other ways, right?"

"If there really are no other choices, then..."

It frustrated Little Shaye greatly to think that the man who was joyous with her moments ago now had to be pushed into another woman’s embrace.

The black skirt fluttered in the night sky.

Silver strands of hair shimmered under the moonlight, some falling on Qin Chu’s face, tickling him.

In his nostrils, he could scent the enticing fragrance coming from Little Shaye.

Not until they were above the inn did Little Shaye’s body finally descend, her sexy black high-heeled boots stepping on the ground without making a sound, as if she was not walking but floating.

Without saying much more, Little Shaye headed straight for her room.

On the other side, Asina, hearing the noise, stuck out her head to check the situation. Seeing Little Shaye and Qin Chu together, she instantly understood everything, her pretty face showing a sly smile, then she was pushed back by an embarrassed Little Shaye with a slap.

Qin Chu shook his head and pushed open his bedroom door.

The moment he stepped inside, his breath caught slightly.

Silhouetted against the window was a tall and beautiful figure, unmistakably the Pride Witch, Adelina. Her eyes stared out at the world, regardless of the inside of the Royal City being wrecked, with nothing but ruins everywhere.

But, to Adelina, it was still the most beautiful view.

That figure still majestic and dignified.

Her legs, wrapped in thick stockings, lightly rested on the windowsill, her pale hands crossed over her abdomen.

Her dark hair swayed gently with the night wind.

Yet, that chest no longer rose and fell.

That heart, no longer beat.

That nostril, had lost its breath.

Gently hovering in mid-air was a translucent phantom, the soul of Adelina about to dissipate.

That soul, even weaker than Asina when Qin Chu first encountered her, frailer than Phil who was already maddened and seriously injured at the time.

The physical body of Adelina was already dead.

Just as the Pride Witch herself had said, she had reached her limit.

Whether her body or her soul, both were merely sustained by her strong will.

Adelina was not afraid of death; she had lived a life more tumultuous and splendid than nearly everyone else in this world over the millennia.

Yet, dying this peacefully was still somewhat regretful.

Adelina had hoped to make one last charge into the Void, to die heroically in her defiance against the God. But unfortunately, her body and soul could no longer hold out.

She had intended to transfer the Authority of Pride to Qin Chu, but it was already too late.

The soul, floating in midair and on the verge of dispersing, seemed to sense Qin Chu’s presence.

That equally radiant soul turned around, looked at Qin Chu, and even revealed a faint smile, "Tsk, you finally came back."

"Looking at you, you must have successfully persuaded Shaye Nicholas to return, congratulations..."

Immediately, a hint of pride appeared on her face, "However, you will never have the chance to taste this queen again, just pine away by yourself."

The voice of Adelina was growing fainter.

By the end, it was almost completely inaudible.

In the span of these few sentences, the soul of the Pride Witch had weakened further, barely visible in midair, just a blurry outline.

Everything seemed beyond salvation, even for Ireta, the Acting Death God who wielded power over souls, this situation was likely beyond her capabilities.

After all, Ireta was only an Acting Death God, not a true Death God.

Ireta could revive the recently deceased Asina, but for souls that weakened and dispersed due to prolonged deterioration, even Ireta was powerless, and now, summoning Ireta was probably too late.

Even if Ireta could appear before him in the shortest time, Adelina’s soul might disperse in just a few seconds.

"Perhaps, this is my fate..."

The weak voice gradually faded away.

Fate...

That word seemed to stimulate Qin Chu in some way.

Suddenly, Qin Chu’s eyes turned somewhat bloodshot, like a beast, "Adelina, I won’t let you die like this..."

"If you are struggling against the chains of fate, then struggle with me to the very end."

Even though his muscles were still spasming, and he was limping while walking, Qin Chu abruptly stepped forward, opening his mouth.

"Gluttony!"

Whoosh!

Qin Chu’s mouth seemed to turn into a massive vortex.

A tremendous sucking force emanated from Qin Chu’s mouth.

Adelina’s soul, on the brink of dispersion, was instantly engulfed by the vortex, sinking rapidly, brought by the Gluttony Authority to a mysterious realm.

In this realm resided the Gluttony Authority, Desire Sin Divinity, Divine Decomposition, Water God Authority, and the Little Tree Seedling...

Even with Adelina’s vast experience, she couldn’t help but be surprised at this moment, what was happening, Qin Chu had devoured her soul?

As Adelina was astonished, the nearby Little Tree Seedling suddenly moved; a branch with verdant young leaves quickly extended toward her, wrapping Adelina in its leaves.

Though only a tattered soul on the brink of extinction remained, Adelina instinctively tried to struggle, but soon, she felt a mysterious, life-giving energy being infused into her soul.

The dispersing soul actually began to stabilize a bit...

The life-giving energy continuously infused, bathing Adelina’s soul in this mysterious power, sustaining it.

The exhausted soul was gradually repairing.

Although the process was incredibly slow, and returning to a normal state might take a considerable amount of time, the dire prospect of her soul shattering seemed, strangely enough, to be temporarily avoided?

Adelina had experienced much, but this bizarre situation was truly unprecedented.

What exactly is this place? It doesn’t seem like Qin Chu’s Soul World.

Has this guy Qin Chu created a separate space inside his own body?

Why are there so many dreadful beings residing inside Qin Chu’s body, Adelina swept her gaze, her soul covered in black lines.

Authority, Authority, Authority, Authority...

Although Adelina was unclear about the powers held by these Authorities, there was no doubt that at least four Divine Authorities existed within Qin Chu’s body.

Three of which were not much inferior to the Authority of Pride.

How could a mere mortal contain four Divine Authorities within himself, what kind of monster was he?

Recalling her earlier words, Adelina felt somewhat annoyed; to Qin Chu, although the Authority of Pride was precious, it apparently wasn’t something extraordinary.

And then there was this mysterious Little Tree Seedling.

The prevention of the blood rain that descended from the sky earlier must have been this sapling’s doing, right?

What kind of existence was this, able to resist the erosion of the Evil God’s blood rain and even repair and nourish a damaged soul?

It wasn’t until she entered Qin Chu’s body that Adelina realized she knew too little about this Hero.
