CHAPTER 716: CHAPTER 502 THE WEIRD GODDESS OF DESTINY (2 CHAPTERS OF 4000 WORDS)_2

Antasia and Helois, one a princess native to the Ice Duchy, had long been accustomed to the local environment; the other a Snow Woman, who found nothing more pleasing than the biting cold.

Antasia’s face even lit up with joy, for this mysterious ability to transfer through space instantly, spanning thousands of miles... Such a long journey, if Antasia were to travel alone, would take months to complete.

Qin Chu glanced around, the sky overhead was a dull gray, not snowing, but the ashen clouds already obscured the sky.

The biting wind, like knives, raged viciously, cutting into the flesh with an almost bone-piercing pain.

This wasn’t the Ice Duchy... like the Exeter Kingdom, the Ice Duchy had only one Royal City, not overly large in size, and with a rather sparse population barely exceeding two million.

But nearly every individual in the Ice Duchy was an excellent hunter, with robust physiques and exquisite combat skills; even the underage children possessed impressive fighting prowess.

Perhaps this was why the Ice Duchy had managed to hold out against the Demon invasions until now.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to be made of soil at a glance, but it felt as hard as a boulder beneath the soles of their feet.

That wasn’t all; the ground was also covered with a layer of chaotic ice shards, the intense cold penetrating through the soles, giving the feeling that the body had almost completely chilled through.

"It seems there was a bit of an issue with my prediction of our location; we are probably more than a hundred kilometers away from the Royal City," Antasia said with a wry smile.

The sound of sexy high-heeled boots gently kicking the ice shards produced a clear, crisp cracking noise.

"The location of the Ice Duchy’s Royal City was chosen by the Oville Empire, otherwise, it should have been built further to the south," she said.

"Although it’s very cold here, during the spring, summer, and autumn, some vegetation still grows; we can gather some stuff. At this time of the year, the permafrost should have begun to melt... but now..."

Now, not only had the permafrost not melted, it was even worse than during the coldest period.

One could imagine what the situation inside the Ice Duchy was like now.

Light flickered in Qin Chu’s eyes.

The methods of fate were indeed cruel and malicious.

To force himself to absorb the remnants of an Evil God, fate had taken over two million citizens of the Ice Duchy as hostages. To the gods, humans are so fragile.

Even a minor scheme of a god could directly cause the death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people.

A flash of insight struck Qin Chu.

He felt an intense sense of discomfort.

But for the moment, he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

It was as if he could see the end he was after, yet found it hard to grasp.

Qin Chu stood quietly on the ground, motionless. Antasia didn’t urge him on, and it was unclear how much time passed before Qin Chu’s eyes widened dramatically.

He finally understood where the problem lay.

The Fire God, hot-tempered, yet still willing to give everything for his believers, even preferring to see his lineage end than his believers go mad because of the Fire God Authority.

No need to mention the Holy Light Goddess. The plan of the Goddess of Destiny involved the sacrifice of the Holy Light Goddess for hope, and she agreed without hesitation.

The Earth Mother Goddess even attempted to obliterate the Evil God in a mutually destructive manner.

The Moon Goddess, even though now she’s only a Residual Soul and has long lost the strength from her time as a goddess, should the Evil God invade again, Moon Goddess Cynthia’s only choice would be to fight.

All the gods have been protecting the lives on this world, guarding the Sky Dome Continent, willing to sacrifice everything for this world, even their own lives.

The gods of the Sky Dome Continent were naturally born entities of this world, and from the moment they gained consciousness, they bore the responsibility to protect and guide the lives of this world.

There was only one exception, the Goddess of Destiny.

The Fate Goddess Moile seemed to hold no regard for the lives of ordinary people.

She summoned Heroes from beyond the world of Sky Dome Continent, and perhaps that was nothing more than a crude ploy to confuse the Void Evil God and the Second Generation Jie Luo... All the Heroes Moile summoned without exception ended up dead.

Now, to force him to continue following the path of destiny, she directly took over two million citizens of the Ice Duchy as hostages.

Does such a Fate Goddess truly love the creatures of this world?

Or is it possible that Fate Goddess Moile is not actually a local god of the Sky Dome Continent?

Or perhaps, in the eyes of Fate Goddess Moile, sacrificing the lives of two million people to force herself back onto the trajectory of fate is a perfectly worthwhile trade?

Several seconds passed before Qin Chu suddenly took a deep breath and looked up again, gazing into the distance.

"Antasia, lead the way."

Antasia nodded and walked at the front.

Helois opened up an ice attribute shield, isolating the howling cold wind around them.

Seeing the appearance of Helois and Iyeta, Atreus clearly understood that these two women had already sold themselves out, but she didn’t show any dissatisfaction because of it.

She knew she had only recently started following Qin Chu, and although her strength was greater, she was still far from having the status in her master’s heart compared to the Snow Woman and Blood Elf whom Qin Chu had taken away long ago.

She simply followed Qin Chu very obediently. Unless the master asked for her opinion, Atreus would not express any thoughts regarding whatever was being discussed.

"Atreus." Just as Atreus was calculating in her mind, her master’s voice came from beside her.

This former Demon Princess instantly raised her head, her bright eyes focusing on the master close at hand: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Tell me about the situation with the demons."

Stepping on the hard frozen ground, the group walked step by step towards the Royal City of the Ice Duchy. The closer they got to the Royal City, the colder the air became.

Without a thermometer, Qin Chu wasn’t sure of the exact temperature, but it seemed quite likely to be below minus thirty or forty degrees.

The breath exhaled from their nostrils almost instantly turned into fine ice particles.

Before they knew it, their feet were treading on soft snow, making a clear "crackling" sound with each step.

In front of them lay a world draped in pure white, with several rows of long footprints behind them. The sky was filled with large snowflakes, becoming denser as they neared the Royal City. The footprints left behind were quickly filled by falling snow.

"Demon King Nage has a total of seven sons, six daughters, and eighteen princesses."

Eighteen princesses, so shameless.

"But that was before. After yesterday’s war, of the seven sons, only Luo Meng remains..."

Thinking of this, Atreus couldn’t help feeling strange.

If one were to ask which of the Demon King’s children was the smartest, they might receive many different answers.

But if one were to ask who was the most foolish, almost ninety-nine percent of demons would unhesitatingly name Luo Meng.

In the eyes of his brothers and sisters, the other demons, and even in Demon King Nage and Luo Meng’s mother’s view, the big oaf was the most foolish of all.

Reflecting on it now, could it be that Luo Meng, the one who had always hidden in his territory and never came out, was actually the smartest?

The big oaf had done nothing, and his competition had drastically decreased. In hindsight, she herself seemed like the fool.

This...

Atreus felt a bit annoyed and shook her head before continuing, "Of the six daughters, only the third eldest remains."

"As for the eighteen princesses, there are still fifteen... However, not all these princesses possess the combat strength of Jacqueline."

So, among those they had killed before, there should have been three princesses. Anyway, a whole bunch of demons had almost simultaneously died, and Qin Chu wasn’t very clear on the details. It wasn’t important, and there was no need to be overly concerned about it.

"Demons didn’t originally live in the Sky Dome Continent. Among all the children of the Demon King, I am the only one born on the original continent."

Qin Chu’s gaze became slightly sharp.

The original habitat of demons, this was a question he was very curious about.
