Chapter 730: Chapter 509: Eternal Darkness (First Chapter with 4000 Words)

Fear, indeed, is the best seed for faith.

People basked in joy, and although the vast majority of them didn’t know Qin Chu’s identity, they still treated Qin Chu as a Favored dispatched by the Gods to save the world.

People embraced each other passionately, venting the oppression and despair that had lingered in the depths of their hearts for such a long time.

The sounds of cheer and laughter, intermixed with praises to the Gods, echoed throughout the city.

Osvid and Heidi were just as exhilarated. When Qin Chu first appeared, they saw hope, but no one expected Qin Chu to achieve such an extent.

Within the Royal City, snow had accumulated several meters thick, and the sky was overcast with ceaselessly rolling clouds.

The blizzard raged, and the cold grew increasingly severe.

The entire Duchy had been completely devoid of hope for survival, who could have thought that the powerful Hero would not only dispel the blizzard but even clear the several meters of accumulated snow within the city, restoring the city to its smiling state.

In that moment, Osvid’s eyes reddened.

The long persistence, the pressure and fear the body endured, seemed to burst forth in that instant, hot tears almost rolling down Osvid’s cheeks.

All concerns for a king’s dignity were thrown to the wind.

Yet, compared to the excitement of the Kingdom’s residents, Great and Small Shaye, and even Antia, all had deeply furrowed brows.

They were acutely aware that the danger had not disappeared.

High in the sky, Qin Chu had the same reaction, his expression somewhat grim. There was no excitement for having resolved the Duchy’s crisis, perhaps because he was high above, Qin Chu could see further.

He clearly saw that to the far north of the Ice Duchy, there used to be a glacier that was immaculate and crystal clear without a hint of impurity.

But at that moment, above the glacier, a large number of ice-white traces were being swept towards the Royal City like a sandstorm in the raging winds.

Indeed, disasters deliberately arranged by the Goddess of Destiny would not end so easily.

Unless Qin Chu devoured the remnants of the Evil God deep within the glacier, no matter what Qin Chu did, the crisis would not end.

Osvid was about to voice his gratitude when he quickly noticed the suppressed expressions on the faces of Shaye, Antia, and the others. A sense of foreboding dread surged in his heart.

Then, both Osvid and Heidi felt a shivering tremble course through their bodies. They felt it, the horrific chill emerging once again.

The blizzard had not yet arrived, but the bone-piercing cold had already made its entrance.

The familiar sensation turned both of their complexions deathly pale.

It wouldn’t be long before the entire Duchy was once again covered in snow.

Could it be that not even the Hero could change the Duchy’s disaster?

Could it be that the doomed fate of the Duchy’s destruction was irreversible no matter what?

Why must the Ice Duchy suffer such a catastrophe?

Osvid’s fists clenched involuntarily, his body trembling with fear and anger.

And at that moment, a figure stepped forward—it was, unmistakably, Little Shaye.

Little Shaye’s expression was also solemn. What the Duchy would become was of no concern to Little Shaye; she was more eager to leave this dreadful, cold country and return to the Imperial City.

But as this was Qin Chu’s task, Little Shaye naturally would do her best to help.

Of course, it was not for Qin Chu. What Qin Chu became had nothing to do with her at all. She just didn’t want to freeze here, including the previous assistance she had given Qin Chu in fighting the Demon King. It was purely because she disliked the Demon King. After all... after all... that’s right, after all, Demon King Nag had deceived her before, and it had nothing to do with Qin Chu.

With Little Shaye’s immense strength, one of the most powerful beings on the Sky Dome Continent at present, one could imagine that whatever was to happen next must be extraordinary, given her serious expression.

It was a force capable of enveloping a city of two million inhabitants in an instant, one that even Little Shaye had to face cautiously.

She extended her right hand, and a Magic Wand, completely black except for a fiery red gem embedded at its tip, appeared in her palm.

A slight lurch went through the hearts of Antia, Helois, and the others.

Because Little Shaye was just too powerful. Since Little Shaye had stayed with Qin Chu, some time had passed, and during that, she had intervened many times.

But no matter what enemies she faced, with Little Shaye’s strength, she could easily handle them.

This was the first time they saw Little Shaye even take out her weapon.

As for Little Shaye, she completely disregarded the gazes of everyone around her, took a deep breath, and raised the scepter in her hand high into the night sky.

Her cherry lips parted, with her breath quickly condensing into a cloud of mist.

Her scarlet eyes swept over the surroundings, as if admiring the landscape under the moonlit night.

At this moment, the city’s cheering had gradually quieted down. The cold had not yet reached where the people were, but an inexplicable sense of oppression had already loomed over every person’s heart, the previously vanished fear re-emerging, even more potent than before.

People swallowed nervously, moving their throats unconsciously, no one knowing what was going to happen next.

They instinctively hunched their shoulders, the inexplicable chill causing their skin to prickle with goosebumps.
