Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Gods Are Dead (Two Hundred Recommended Votes Plus Update)
Violet's eyes flickered with a strange and murderous light, and it took a long time for her distorted face to gradually return to normal.
The seed of life, she must get, at all costs.
Only the power of the seed of life could soothe her tormented soul, otherwise, she would really go insane.
The voice upstairs has disappeared, and it seems that the relationship between Qin Chu and Catherine is also over, she had been carefully prepared, using the pollen of the moon flower, and even showing the soul fragments of the first generation of braves, and did not hesitate to beg Qin Chu to stay just for this moment.
There is no way, in order to maintain the existence of the Storm Temple, in order to suppress the pollution brought by the knowledge of the gods, the strength of the Storm Witch is not as good as before, just as Qin Chu speculated, she does not have enough capital to fight against four powerful enemies at the same time.
In particular, there is also a dark witch Saya among them, although it seems to be very weak, but it is the dark witch after all, the strongest of the witches.
There have been four witches who have accepted the authority of the gods and been killed by Saya, such a terrible existence, even if the strength is exhausted for some reason, but who dares to guarantee that Saya has no hole cards at the bottom of the box?
Therefore, she could only make a gentle appearance and lower Qin Chu's vigilance.
However, as long as she takes away the seed of life, there will be no one on this Heavenly Dome Continent who will be her opponent again.
She even wanted to laugh at Antia, this woman was still as stupid as she was a thousand years ago, she had such a treasure by her side, but she didn't know how to get it.
It's just that before she could act, she was actually preempted by Catherine.
This made the Storm Witch very annoyed, she had already deliberately separated Qin Chu and Catherine from going up and down the stairs, but this woman actually ran up by herself.
She couldn't just rush up and join.
But now that the upstairs is finally over, I just don't know if Qin Chu can do it or not.
While pondering in her heart, the Storm Witch stood up tall and walked towards the door.
But just as the Storm Witch walked to the door, a voice that seemed to be slightly different from just now came from upstairs again.
Hiss......
The Storm Witch gasped.
Isn't it, still coming?
Don't they all know that they are tired?
Even if you want to continue, why don't you take a break?
Although she felt more and more irritable in her heart, the Storm Witch had no other choice but to stay quietly in her room, listening to the voices coming from upstairs while waiting patiently.
She was starting to get a little worried......
In the event that all the seeds of life were taken away by Catherine, there would be nothing left for her.
……
On the other side, Qin Chu gently pushed open the door.
Listening to Catherine's voice coming from the room behind him, Qin Chu's face was a little strange.
Seriously, Catherine's acting skills are really not good, listen to this voice, the tone is flat, perfunctory, and there are no fluctuations, and anyone with a little experience can feel that something is wrong.
Be dedicated, please, can you have more emotion in your voice?
However, considering that the Storm Witch has lived here alone for thousands of years, it is difficult to say whether she has experienced it before, and even if she has experienced it, she has long forgotten it.
Come to think of it, the Storm Witch shouldn't be able to hear the difference.
People are curious.
Qin Chu is no exception.
Reason told him that his goal was only revenge, just take care of his own affairs, what had happened on the road of the sky, those real masters, the conflict between the gods had nothing to do with him, and it would not be good to be forcibly involved.
But, curiosity kills cats.
The more you can't know, the more you want to explore.
What's more, Qin Chu vaguely felt that he had actually been caught in this huge whirlpool a long time ago, since that was the case, it would not hurt him to know so much about some content.
When such a thought appeared in his heart, the slight resistance in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he walked to the next room with peace of mind.
It appears to be an office, with the Storm Lord's coat of arms hanging from the broken walls.
The table was covered with dust, a thick layer of snow.
There were still some documents on the table, Qin Chu walked over slowly, first vigilantly sensed the surroundings and found that there were no hidden traps or anything like that, and then his fingers stretched out towards the documents on the table, but just after Qin Chu's fingers touched those papers......
Silent ...... It's as if a string has been moved, and the document instantly turns to powder.
It is finely crumbled like flour, like ashes after a fire.
Not only the paper, but also the paintings on the walls and the desks all disappeared in this instant, and even the porcelain placed next to it as decoration turned into delicate quicksand.
Qin Chu's pupils were a little dim, and a thousand years of time was enough to consume everything.
The beds in her and Catherine's room, the doors of the temple, the windows, and even the floors and walls were all prepared by Violet later, and the woman stubbornly wanted to keep the Temple of Storms in its original state, not wanting the temple to disappear completely, even though the interior was rotten except for the barely visible exterior...... Everything that originally belonged to this temple has long since come to an end in the long river of time.
In this room, there was nothing left to explore, Qin Chu walked to another room next door, and the situation in this room was no different, even just the airflow caused by Qin Chu pushing open the door directly caused the remaining things in the room to turn into dust.
But Qin Chu did not give up, he believed that there must be something in this temple that could guide him to find the truth.
As you walk past the rooms, there is almost no difference in the picture before you.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th floors......
Qin Chu didn't let go of any of the small corners.
Until the end, Qin Chu even ventured into the first floor.
Far away from where Violet was, Qin Chu found a small dark room, and in this small room there was even a complete statue of the Lord of the Storm, which seemed to be a room for penance and prayer.
No one knows what the gods will look like, and the statues are only depicted according to the imagination of the believers.
It was a tall and majestic man, and although thousands of years had passed, the majesty of the statue remained the same, and it seemed to be the place where Violet frequented, and it was not as dusty as other places.
The walls around it were filled with a jumble of words, patterns, and symbols with almost frantic brushstrokes...... From the deep depressions in the walls and the stiff, twisted strokes, you can see how confused the people who left these marks are in the depths of their hearts.
Even the statue has traces of repair, and in some places it has even been repaired many times, and the cracks are clearly layered, and the repeated destruction and repair cause the statue to look even a little weird.
On the wall above the head of the Lord of the Storm, there seemed to be a few large, twisted characters written with a knife.
Where is He?
At the end of the stroke, a long crack is pulled down the wall.
At the foot of the statue of the deity is a notebook with a dark cover and two crosses crossed.
Qin Chu subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand, but he hesitated, worried that this notebook would turn into powder like before.
After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu finally stretched out his finger and touched the cover of the notebook with the softest possible force...... This time, the notebook didn't turn to ashes.
Obviously, it was just a very simple action, but Qin Chu was stunned and felt that he was tired, so he quietly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and Qin Chu opened the notebook.
The first thing that catches your eye is a few scarlet words that make people tremble:
The gods, already dead!
……
On the other side, the death knight Karthas had left the location of Benson's body.
Riding the white bone war horse under his crotch, he ran wildly against the wind like a ghost, and even the cold night wind could not extinguish the fire in his heart.
Because, just as he gathered Benson's remains, he found the pair of white stockings that Benson held tightly in his palm.
On the stockings are two symbols drawn by Benson with his own blood.
A symbol that represents the Holy See.
A symbol that represents the Mother Earth Cult.
He had never been angrier.
The blood-drenched pattern was obviously a signal that Benson had left for him before he died.
If Benson was only killed by monsters, Karthas would not be so angry that he would be sad, after all, humans and monsters are enemies by nature.
However, being killed by his own people made Karthas's anger completely uncontrollable.
Karthhas is the dumbest of the members of the Brave Squad, followed by Benson and Mad Muse, the three of them have the best relationship and the deepest relationship in the Brave Squad, so they are even nicknamed the stupid trio by Geralt.
Karthas never felt it was offended, on the contrary, he felt that it was a sign of intimacy with the brave man.
Actually, Karthas wasn't so stupid.
Some of the legends about Karthhas are actually true, he was indeed of a prominent birth, and his father was a famous nobleman, and he had a noble blood in his veins.
He is indeed amazingly talented, and his strength has grown extremely fast since he was a child.
There is also a fiancée who has not reached the great sage, but the strength is very good, and she is elegant, noble, beautiful and gentle.
However, he is also arrogant and impulsive.
His master warned him that although his strength was very strong and he was progressing quickly, his mood was unstable, so let him press it down and let his heart keep up with his strength.
But the arrogant Karthas didn't listen to his master's words at all, he was still constantly attacking the higher level, and this led to disaster, because of his inner instability when he rushed to the level, he began to hear some indescribable and incomprehensible whispers in his ears.
He didn't know where the sound came from, but it made him feel extra irritated.
Countless strange and distorted visions appeared in front of his eyes, confusing him and driving him crazy.
He was in a state of extreme madness, frantically destroying everything, and when he came to his senses, he saw that he was holding his father's head in his hand, and his mother's body was cut off......
The elder brother's body was split in half with a single knife.
He became a murderous demon, and his fiancée left him.
He was reprimanded and hunted down by countless people......
From that moment on, Karthas changed, no longer the handsome and dashing nobleman, he became sluggish, numb, dull.
He didn't want others to see his face again, and he wrapped his whole body in thick black metal armor.
When he was alone, it was the brave who stretched out his hand to him.
He became a companion to the Brave, but because he was sluggish, numb, and dull, he could only do things according to Geralt or other Brave Squads, and never made up his mind on his own.
But now, he was completely furious.
It was the first time since he changed that he had made a decision of his own volition.
He's going to avenge Benson.
Use the blood and heads of the Holy See's damned sticks to honor your best friends.
