Chapter 42 96

"Lynch, how long are we going to wait?! We're sick and tired of killing these disgusting multi-armed monsters, fallen angels, and giants! His Majesty Odin is waiting for us to rescue him!"

Having convinced Sigurd, Lynch naturally found a place with demons, giants, and fallen angels to start grinding experience, equipment, and materials.

Lynch was indeed tirelessly grinding for what he wanted, but Sigurd finally couldn't stand the endless solo grinding anymore and immediately roared at Lynch.

Although these ordinary monsters didn't give much experience, every little bit helps! After killing them for so long, Lin Qi had leveled up... by half a level... Lin Qi was so angry that he almost went to kill a boss. The experience points from first-tier monsters were only single digits, completely negligible. The experience points from second-tier monsters were a bit better, reaching double digits, but they were mostly only around twenty. Killing ten of them only gave him a little over 200 experience points. This was a world of difference from when Lin Qi was still in the Black Beast realm, where he could kill monsters of higher levels and easily get hundreds of experience points as a reward!

Fortunately, the third-tier monsters were quite generous, giving nearly a hundred points each time. By this time, Lin Qi had roughly figured out the rules of killing monsters of higher tiers. The higher the quality of the target and the greater the difference in tiers, the more experience he would receive. Therefore, if he wanted to level up quickly, he should focus on elites and bosses.

However, there was a reason why Lin Qi had been patiently killing these invaders. After the Dark Bible broke the second seal, it gained a Dark Devouring skill, which could infinitely consume equipment and increase attributes!

The humanoid demons, fallen angels, and giants here have a high drop rate for equipment, averaging one piece for every three. Although the stats and quality are absolutely terrible, the Dark Bible doesn't discriminate! Give it to me and I'll eat it! Eating it will randomly add a little bit of stats!

The only thing that Lin Qi regretted was that none of these junk equipment pieces added any luck stat. His "Lucky Goddess's Blessing" skill disappeared after his luck stat dropped back to 28 points; he could only use it again after raising it back to 30 points. The permanent deduction of three luck points was truly cruel…

As for the materials, they naturally refer to the tentacles of the multi-armed monster! These things are definitely very useful! What surprised Lin Qi was that other demons would drop one or two random alchemical materials after they died. Following the principle of collecting them first, Lin Qi piled them all into his backpack.

Although Lin Qi now possesses alchemy skills, alchemical tools contributed by the Ghost Father General, and even the necessary materials, he lacks the corresponding recipe, which leaves him quite helpless.

　"Don't worry, as I said, as long as you and Sophia are alive, the God Realm will not be destroyed. Hunt down as many of these invaders as possible, so that more of your companions will know your location and that you are still resisting. This will give them confidence and courage to face the powerful invaders more strongly. At the same time, the enemy will also know your location and keep attacking, which will indirectly reduce the pressure on those companions who are still resisting."

"It does seem to be true."

　Faced with Sigurd's roar, Lin Qi answered her question very seriously. Sigurd was stunned for a moment, as if it were really true. Her emotions calmed down immediately, and she resumed killing the invaders who kept coming to their deaths in twos and threes.

When have I ever lied to you?

Seeing Sigurd back to work, Lynch nodded in satisfaction and casually replied.

If Sigurd knew the truth, he would probably yell: "When the hell haven't you lied to me?! You've been lying to me from beginning to end!"

Actually, the title of "God of Deception" would be more fitting for Lynch.

"Sigurd!"

Just as Lynch was happily throwing himself back into farming materials, a clear shout suddenly rang out from afar! A Valkyrie appeared, wearing emerald armor, with two braids on either side, long light pink hair reaching her waist, and deep green eyes!

"Sofia! Great! We've finally found you! Let's go! Let's rescue you... Watch out behind you! Huh... What's that?!"

The moment the young Valkyrie appeared, Sigurd and Lynch were both thrilled! That's right, this is the female lead! Sofia!

As soon as Sophia appeared, Sigurd rushed towards her excitedly, shouting that she had been waiting for her so they could rescue Odin together and prove Lynch's prophecy wrong! But before she could finish speaking, dozens of demons suddenly emerged from behind her. Sigurd was startled and tried to warn Sophia of a possible attack from behind! However, she quickly realized that the demons were all grinning maliciously at her, showing no intention of harming Sophia whatsoever!

"How foolish you are! You're still resisting! Everyone in the entire divine realm except you has given up the struggle! Lady Freya has confessed, and now everyone knows that the key to the Water Gate is within us. I'm here to deal with you! King Heru of the Underworld, the Giants, and the new Gods need the key within you! I've decided to give up resistance and become a member of the new Gods! And you are the gift of my surrender!"

Sofia gave a cold laugh, looked down at Sigurd, and loudly told her a cruel truth.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

A fierce rage surged within Sigurd! Partly because of Sophia's words, and partly because Sophia's words confirmed one of Lynch's three prophecies: the Valkyrie's leader, Freya, whom she considered a mother figure, had betrayed them! Although it wasn't yet certain whether Sophia truly intended to use a scheme to enter the temple as Lynch claimed, this still gave Sigurd a reason to fight. He immediately drew his sword and charged towards Sophia!

"Ever since we both rose to fame, everyone has been arguing about who is the strongest Valkyrie between us. Today, I'll show you that battle isn't just about strength; you also need brains! Get serious! I really want to kill you!"

Sophia still wore a cold smile, her acting was superb! Even Lin Qi couldn't tell whether she was acting or genuinely expressing her feelings! In any case, the two of them just kept going at it!

"Only thirty-odd demons, not even a single fourth-tier one. We're not afraid at all!"

Lin Qi turned his gaze to the demons brought by Sophia, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He then used Shadow Step to begin picking off several third-tier demons.

Chapter 43 97

"Sofia! You can't beat me!"

Just as Lynch was reaping the demon creatures, Sophia and Sigurd's battle was also nearing its end. In the end, Sigurd's strength was superior, and he gained the upper hand.

"I told you, fighting isn't just about brute force!"

Just then, Sofia smiled and suddenly jumped up, preparing to launch a dive attack. Sigurd immediately stared at Sofia and followed suit. Sofia immediately revealed a triumphant smile, tilted her head, and the sun that was originally blocked by her head was instantly blinded by the bright light, causing Sigurd to lose his sight!

This one opening was enough. Sofia suddenly launched a half-spinning kick, striking Sigurd hard in the abdomen and knocking her down from mid-air!

You lost!

By the time Sigurd came to her senses, Sofia had already placed her rapier against her neck and was staring at her with a victorious smile!

However, just as the two were about to speak, a dagger was pressed against the back of Sophia's neck. Lin Qi said to Sophia in a very serious tone, "Stop fooling around, Sophia. You can't fool Rocky."

"Who are you?!"

Sophia's hair stood on end instantly, and she roared at Lin Qi in terror!

Although Sophia saw Lynch from the beginning, she didn't take him seriously at all. In the realm of the gods, male warriors were not as respected as women, as evidenced by the fact that Odin's personal guard consisted entirely of women, the Valkyries. But now, Sophia unexpectedly felt a threat of death! How did Lynch appear behind her?! She had no idea!

“I am a person with a special mission just like you. Your mission is to protect the key to the Water Gate, and my mission is to protect you. Now all the demons are dead. Even if you take Sigurd to the temple, they will not believe you. There is no one else here. Please tell Sigurd the truth about your original plan.”

After subduing Sofia, Lynch took her hand and removed the longsword from Sigurd's neck, mainly to cut off her arm.

Although Lynch was using a sleight of hand, his expression and tone remained unchanged. After putting down his dagger, he told Sophia about the identity he had fabricated for himself and directly exposed Sophia's plan, turning his gaze to Sigurd, who looked unwilling.

Sigurd gritted his teeth. Lynch's prediction had come true once again. Sophia, who had never beaten him before, had indeed defeated him. At this moment, Sigurd actually believed what Lynch had said.

“That’s right. I do plan to capture Sigurd and then pretend to surrender to enter the temple. Once they relax their guard, I can join forces with Sigurd to rescue the God-King. Sigurd! Are you willing to cooperate with my plan?”

Sofia glanced at the cleaned-up battlefield. She had no doubts about Lin Qi's identity. The fact that he was with Sigurd meant that Sigurd had already confirmed his identity. Seeing that the crisis was over, Sofia readily admitted her original plan and sincerely turned her gaze to Sigurd, asking him to cooperate with her actions.

"So what happened after the God-King was rescued?"

Just as Sigurd was about to agree to Sophia's suggestion, Lynch rolled his eyes and asked Sophia and Sigurd.

"Of course, it's under the leadership of His Majesty Odin..."

Sophia blurted out without thinking, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized! The entire realm of the gods had fallen! The defending forces of the gods had been almost completely annihilated by the combined forces of the demons, giants, and fallen angels. The Valkyries were the last remaining force in the realm of the gods, but! Freya and most of the Valkyries had already been taken prisoner! Even if they rescued Odin, they wouldn't have enough power to drive away the invaders!

"All the warriors of the divine realm have perished in battle, and the Valkyries have lost their fighting power, becoming playthings of the demons and giants. Even Lady Freya has fallen. You don't actually believe the other Valkyries are still resisting, do you? The only ones in the entire divine realm who still have the strength to fight are a small fraction of you. King Heru of the Underworld, together with Loki, has used their abilities to steal Odin's power. Now, Odin is just an ordinary person! Do you really want the current Odin to lead the two of you to slaughter all the invading demons and giants?"

Sophia and Sigurd immediately realized the problem. They were only thinking about rescuing Odin, but they hadn't thought about what to do after they rescued him.

Seeing that the two had realized the problem, Lin Qi immediately organized his thoughts and added another blow!

"Then what should we do?!"

They had initially hoped that Odin, once freed, would unleash his divine power and wipe out everyone, but Lin Qi's words instantly shattered their hopes! That's right! The reason Hru, the King of the Underworld, attacked the realm of the gods was to plunder divine power and restore his physical body. Loki had also been coveting the divine power of the altar. No wonder Odin was hanging from the World Tree! His boundless divine power had been stolen!

That's how women are; if something they were expecting suddenly goes wrong, they panic and lose their composure! And that's exactly the moment Lin Qi was waiting for!

Lin Qi said to the two men with a resolute expression, "It's still about rescuing His Majesty Odin!"

"what?!"

Sofia and Sigurd were immediately dumbfounded! Wasn't it said that saving them was pointless?! Why did they even bother trying to save them?!

"I know you are unwilling to accept this, and even doubt my words. So I will let you witness all of this yourselves to prove whether what I say is true. But before that, you must sign this contract. If your mission fails, I can use the power of the contract to rescue you at a critical moment! Otherwise, you will be sinners in the divine realm forever!"

Lin Qi thoughtfully voiced their only concern: prophecies are not certain. Although Lin Qi had predicted several things correctly, it didn't mean the final outcome would be the same. So they still wanted to take the risk and try it. If Lin Qi kept stopping them, they would feel uneasy. Therefore, Lin Qi wisely agreed to their suggestion.

However, at the same time, Lin Qi also took out the Dark Contract and said to the two of them with a serious expression.

"But what are the contents of this contract..."

Sophia hesitated immediately upon seeing the contract, which is understandable; anyone who isn't stupid would hesitate!

"it is good!"

However, Sigurd, the pawn that Lin Qi had arranged before, finally came into play at this moment. She nodded firmly and signed her name directly on the Dark Contract!

""

P.S.: Top: 558, Middle: 212, Bottom: 684. There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. Those already in the official group don't need to join; this is just a transit point.

Chapter 44 98

I don't know if you guys have this habit: you're hesitating about whether to do something, and you should probably refuse, but your best friend makes a firm decision to do it, and you follow suit with the thought, "If someone's going to die with me, then let's all die together!"

Sophia's mindset at this moment was just like that! Although she somewhat believed Lin Qi's identity, she still harbored resentment towards this completely coercive contract. However, just as she was about to refuse, her only friend, Sigurd, signed the contract without hesitation and decisively!

After Sigurd signed the contract, both she and Lin Qi turned their attention to Sophia, who was still hesitating!

Since Sigurd had signed the contract, Sophia's mindset immediately changed. If she signed it and I didn't, wouldn't that mean I was inferior to her? And what if the divine realm really exploded? Then I'd be the sole sinner! No way! I have to sign too!

"All right!"

Having gained a basic understanding, Sofia didn't need Lynch and Sigurd to say anything more and agreed to sign the contract!

"The contract is established. As your master, I declare your operation a failure. I'm taking you away now. You can go back and rest."

"you……"

After Sophia and Sigurd successfully signed their contracts, Lynch's expression immediately changed. Before the two could even prepare to rescue Odin, Lynch, with a stern face, announced to them that their rescue plan had failed. Sigurd and Sophia were clearly surprised that Lynch's words were different from what he had said before, and they were immediately furious. But he didn't give them a chance and directly took them into his contract space!

"Tch, only an idiot would hand over two pieces of fat meat to someone else. One of the two major missions in this world has been completed. Now all I need to do is assassinate Rocky. Hopefully, he'll get some good loot!"

Lynch curled his lip in disdain. From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Sophia and Sigurd risk their lives to save Odin. What did Odin's life or death have to do with him? If possible, Lynch would even like to end Odin's life and see if he could get some equipment or something! Besides, if the two of them really went, those bastards would take advantage of them!

However, although Lin Qi did not let the two of them go on the adventure, he himself sneaked towards the temple. Lin Qi had not forgotten that his real purpose in coming to this world was to activate his wings, and now his wings were supporting Rocky's blood!

Lynch's Dark Bible originally only had nine slots. He acquired eight during the Black Beast event, and with Sophia and Sigurd, he was still missing one. Lynch's original plan was to unlock the third seal of the Dark Bible to expand the contract space. However, he never expected that the blood was now on the chopping block. He only needed to poke it three times in a row to collect it. But the Tears of Sincerity stumped Lynch!

Lin Qi's initial tears of sincerity came from the little princess. They were tears formed from the most genuine emotions he had suppressed for so long. Lin Qi originally planned to continue to seek out the little princess to produce tears, but he discovered that the little princess had stopped suppressing her emotions! Without suppressed emotions, what kind of tears of sincerity are there? Therefore, the plan to break the third seal was shelved!

Fortunately, Lin Qi gained a lot in the world of Black Beasts. The Ghost Father General, one of the two bosses, contributed a skill enhancement book after his death, which can immediately upgrade any skill by one level!

These consumable enhancement books are practically god-tier items in the later stages of the game! Lin Qi had originally planned to save them for later, but now he had no choice but to use them on the Contract Space ahead of time, instantly increasing the number of Contract Space slots from 9 to 18! That's right, 18! This means Lin Qi can capture eight more pet maids!

"What did you say? We can't find Sofia and Sigurd?!"

Just as Lynch began to act, the three giants in the temple were in a panic, because they had completely lost track of Sophia and Sigurd!

"Not long ago, our demon friends told us that Sophia had surrendered to us and led them to Sigurd, intending to capture her alive as a gift to us. However, our people only found the corpses of our demon brothers, and..."
