Hero? Are You Worthy?

"Hehe... Why does your face look so bad, are you worried about me?" Just when Qin Chu felt almost completely hopeless, a faint voice suddenly came to his ears.

The owner of the voice seemed to be trying hard to sound playful, but the mosquito-like voice still revealed its fragility completely.

At the moment Qin Chu heard this voice, he felt sapped of all strength and collapsed onto the ground of the cage, gasping heavily.

Thank goodness, the Holy Light Little Goddess is still alive!

With a somewhat silly smile on his face, Qin Chu felt even more delighted at that moment than when he killed the Lord of Pleasure.

The tender yet naive voice of the Holy Light Little Goddess Lucia came again, still hard to hide its weakness: "It seems like you were really worried about me. Did you think I was dead? Your face turned white from fear. Hehe, I was just kidding, not to the point that it would be like this."

Just a joke?

Qin Chu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is this really how you joke around?

He glared at the Holy Light Little Goddess, feeling a bit annoyed. Perhaps because Lucia lacked a sense of authority in her current weakened state, even Qin Chu felt much more relaxed when dealing with her, subconsciously forgetting that this little girl was actually the strongest local god on the Sky Dome Continent.

To be able to withstand the Void Seven Evil Gods for thousands of years and stir up rebellion time and again, despite being nearly exhausted after just battling the Strongest Evil God.

"What are you thinking, I'm not worried about you; I'm worried about myself."

"If you really died and there was no one in the void to restrain those remaining six freaks, wouldn't I have to face those guys myself? I don't want to die."

"If you could take these few freaks away together, what you turn into isn't something I care about."

Qin Chu said with a hum, seemingly feeling a bit embarrassed about his earlier display.

The Holy Light Little Goddess Lucia wasn't even slightly angry at Qin Chu's words. That beautiful and cute little face was full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into slits.

Even though her body was small, the expression on her face carried a hint of affection.

It seems that, in this extremely weakened state, the Holy Light Goddess started to resemble a normal human more and more.

Even though there wasn't much strength left in her body, she still tried her best to lift her hand, extending a chubby finger to poke Qin Chu's face: "Ah, you're shy, right? I know that you humans have a term for this, called tsundere, right?"

Qin Chu, somewhat annoyed, turned his head to the side, feeling a bit awkward about the topic and not wanting to dwell on it further, casually glanced around: "What exactly happened here?"

"Nothing much." The Holy Light Little Goddess didn't mind, just shrugged: "The Lord of Pleasure left the void and entered the Main World, reducing the chains outside the cage, and I could feel the suppression weakening."

"Although I'm not entirely sure what happened, I figured something unavoidable must have appeared in the Lower Realm that required those void freaks to handle it themselves, probably targeting you."

"So, I rebelled in the cage, pretending to break through, holding those six freaks here to prevent them from supporting the Lord of Pleasure, then we started fighting."

"Looks like you lost quite badly?" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows.

That remark made the Holy Light Little Goddess a bit unhappy, pouting: "What do you mean, I was brave, okay?"

"I just fought the seven freaks earlier and hadn't fully recovered, and now I've had another fight with the remaining six. Achieving this result is already difficult."

"Although it seems like I've been suppressed again by them, those six freaks didn't gain much either, with their strength severely depleted, it'll take them years to recover."

The Holy Light Little Goddess spoke lightly, as if she merely failed with no life-threatening danger.

But the actual situation was only understood by the Holy Light Little Goddess herself.

This time, she really almost died.

Before Qin Chu arrived, Lucia had been in a comatose state, her soul turbulent and unstable, with almost no energy left in her body. It was only after Qin Chu held her that she seemed to be stimulated by the mysterious power emanating from him and then awoke.

Qin Chu had gained a rough understanding, becoming increasingly wary of Moira, the Goddess of Destiny. Moira's plan encompassed not only humanity in the Lower Realm but even the situation in the void, including the Holy Light Goddess and other Evil Gods, were all accounted for in Moira's calculations.

This goddess is truly terrifying to the point of being chilling.

This time, if not for the Holy Light Goddess's restraint in the void, no matter the situation in the Lower Realm, even if I became a demigod, even if I achieved Yin Yang Fusion, once the heavens were torn apart and the Lord of Pleasure's reinforcements arrived, my massively increased strength would ultimately still be trampled upon and crushed at any moment.

However, Qin Chu still had some questions unresolved in his mind, not completely trusting the Holy Light Little Goddess's words about both sides being evenly matched and the Evil Gods gaining nothing.
