Chapter 701: Chapter 496: Jie Luo, Your Female Teammate Tastes Quite Good (4000)

The axe!

Although still uttered by Atreus, the sound was crisp.

But the momentum released in the voice was entirely different, wild and unrestrained, with a disdain for the whole world.

Atreus was enduring tremendous pain, several times more exaggerated than the pressure Qin Chu had previously applied; his entire face was twisted into a knot, with muscles spasming uncontrollably as if convulsing.

From his nostrils and ears flowed bright red blood.

And that wasn’t all.

On that delicate cheek, along the slender white neck, the skin on the chest and thighs, appeared dense, web-like cracks.

At first glance, it looked like a sculpture at the end of its life, about to shatter.

Only in those eyes, thick with unfading arrogance and pride, did a sanguine light flash like a wild beast.

The weird disparity even gave off a chilling and twisted sensation.

Qin Chu’s expression also subtly changed. The moment Atreus’s aura drastically changed, he clearly felt his control over Atreus’s heart forcibly ripped away.

This was not the power of Atreus.

Even Antia, standing in the back, could sense that something was amiss; her expression became extremely grave as she shielded the girls, including Angelica, with her body. Antia didn’t come to help Qin Chu, knowing it more important to ensure the girls’ safety, so Qin Chu wouldn’t have to worry about them.

Boom... Crack, crack...

Just then.

A blue-purple bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky overhead.

The night was torn apart, and the instant brightness was so intense that it hurt the eyes.

Accompanied by the lightning from the sky, a huge battle axe appeared out of thin air.

Atreus’s slender fingers gripped the handle tightly, and the ferocity in her eyes intensified.

The next instant, without a hint of hesitation, the battle axe came hurtling toward Qin Chu.

That axe tore through the night sky, ripped apart the heavens.

The gleaming light, with the force to split the entire sky in two, fell upon Qin Chu.

Hum...

In an instant, it was before Qin Chu.

In the blink of an eye, the earth shook and the sky trembled.

Where the axe blade fell, between Qin Chu and Atreus, the ground tore open a chasm so deep it seemed bottomless, dark and vast, threatening to swallow everything.

On Qin Chu’s body, a glimmer of golden light twinkled.

The light of the axe collided with the golden light instantly, creating a deafening noise that echoed in Qin Chu’s ears, his entire brain almost muddled into mush, the shockwave more overwhelming than the two instances of Super Order Magic, spreading in all directions.

The dust on the ground, all swirled up in the sky, taking a long while to fall back down like snowflakes.

Pseudo, Absolute Defense.

This move, snatched from Benson, this particular power, was very useful at times like this.

Moreover, as Qin Chu’s strength increased, the strength of the Pseudo Absolute Defense also rose. Previously, against Diaberlic, it shattered instantly against the Demon King’s attack; this time, though the golden shield of Absolute Defense was covered in dense cracks, it ultimately withstood.

The sky-obscuring dust could not block Qin Chu’s vision as he stared at the lady who seemed to have grown taller before him, a mocking smile emerging from the corner of his lips, "Demon King Nag..."

That’s right, this woman was no longer Atreus.

Her body had been taken over by her father, the Demon King Nag.

Having clashed with the Demon King three times in the first life and once briefly in this, Qin Chu had some understanding of Demon King Nag.

That axe was without a doubt the work of Demon King Nag.

The Demon Princess Atreus, while strong in her own right, couldn’t muster such power.

"Should I commend you, for a Demon King to possess his own daughter’s body?" Qin Chu’s smile grew thicker.

While he didn’t know exactly how the Demon King had achieved it, Qin Chu could immediately tell that the Demon King controlled Atreus’s body through some means.

One thing was undeniably clear: this control was anything but beneficial for Atreus.

Atreus’s body couldn’t sustain such immense power from the Demon King; her flesh was cracked all over and could completely fall apart at any time.

Nag, however, was quite upfront, not bothering to conceal this fact, "I had no choice. Of so many sons and daughters, only Atreus could bear my power."

"To take possession of your body, I really put in a lot of effort."

His words were indeed problematic, easily leading to misunderstandings.

"Ah." Qin Chu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, "Speaking of your sons and daughters, I owe you an apology—I accidentally killed quite a few."

"No matter, those waste of spaces, if they are dead, then they’re dead, it’s no big deal."

The two of them seemed to chat idly, their demeanor not suggesting any animosity or tension, appearing not like enemies but like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years.

After a brief pause, Atreus... no, now it was the Demon King Nag who spoke again, "Mr. Brave, your strength truly amazes me. It’s only been a little more than a year, and you’ve already grown so much. Given another year, perhaps you could break the shackles of the Sky Dome Continent and become the third demigod of this world. Then, it might become impossible to defeat you."
