Chapter 2423: Love for the Evil God's Faith 28

The holy white light surrounding Samuel suddenly faded, and in the black mist he clenched his fist, a dagger brimming with dark power stabbing toward Zephyros's chest.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh was dull yet clear.

Zephyros shuddered all over, lowering his head in disbelief.

The blade sank into his heart, divine blood flowing along the black blade, dripping onto the ground and scorching pits.

Zephyros could clearly feel the corrosive power attached to the blade frantically tearing at his divinity.

Samuel slightly turned his face to look at him, his gaze calm, his voice soft, watching the light in Zephyros's eyes begin to fade.

"If my father god were not the God of Light, I would support him and become a new deity."

As his words fell, he jerked the hand gripping the hilt outward!

"Ugh! No…… impossible!"

Zephyros convulsed violently, golden blood surging from his mouth.

He could no longer move, shocked and angry, unable to believe that summoning Samuel would actually bring him a disaster of destruction.

This shouldn't be happening, impossible!

"I am the God of Light…… I am the God of Light! I have…… I have the heart of a deity……"

Zephyros pressed his last consciousness to his chest, but strands of golden light seeped from between his fingers, "No……"

As he collapsed, a figure appeared in his fading gaze.

Jin Chen appeared outside the cage, raising a cold eyebrow at Zephyros, "I told Youyou'd die here."

Zephyros: "……"

He completely lost his breath, his once-proud golden eyes utterly devoid of luster, staring emptily at the endless darkness of the vault.

Samuel's dagger dissipated like black mist, and he turned to embrace Jin Chen.

He lifted his face, gently caressing Jin Chen's cheek, his black hair slipping sideways, his slender eyes lifting slightly, soft and alluring.

"Father god, this is my letter of allegiance," his voice returned to its soft tone.

"Can you trust me now…… please don't be angry with me anymore?"

Jin Chen looked at him, lowering his head to kiss Samuel's slightly parted lips.

Actually, he wasn't very angry.

Huh… stupid Samuel.

After a deep, inseparable kiss,

Faint strands of light drifted from Zephyros's corpse, trying to break free.

But it was as if shackles held it, unable to separate from Zephyros's divinity, tightly locked around his corpse, unable to truly detach.

Jin Chen keenly sensed the agitation of this same-origin power, frowning in puzzlement for a moment.

【【A lock! Doesn't it look like a lock?】】

Ling Gun Gun appeared, circling Zephyros's corpse twice, then excitedly flew back, 【【Host, you should quickly try that key.】】

The next second, Jin Chen flipped his wrist, and the key retrieved from the Elven tribe appeared in his palm out of thin air.

"So that's how it is……" Jin Chen murmured, understanding clearly in his heart.

Without hesitation, he shoved that key into the cluster of golden light imprisoned at Zephyros's heart.

Hum!

The vast and pure primal spiritual power finally broke free of its bonds, surging tumultuously toward Jin Chen and instantly entering his body.

At the same time, the dust-sealed memory fragments kept flashing back.

——

As a Counterattack Department operative, Jin Chen had come to this small world.

Formerly, the light and darkness of this continent were one, and there was only one deity—He was the supreme Chaos God Zhichen.

He governed the balance of light and dark, maintaining the continent's primal origin.

But a spirit appeared in the Temple of Light, unexpectedly receiving the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, daring to replace the God of Light.

This spirit was Zephyros.

Back when Jin Chen had just entered this small world, he had not been on his Counterattack mission long, receiving no blessing from the Heavenly Dao, acting as he pleased and picking fights at the slightest disagreement.

Thus he became an enemy of the Heavenly Dao's favored one.

Jin Chen stubbornly refused to believe it, expending great effort before finally suppressing Zephyros.

He also divided a portion of the primal spiritual power, investing it into the key, and gave it to the most loyal Elven tribe.

After completing his Counterattack mission, Jin Chen withdrew from this realm.

He thought the suppression left behind would be enough to restore order.

However, after Jin Chen left, Zephyros, who had received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, made a comeback.

He split light and darkness, completely banishing the dark aspect of his original deity form to the Northern Domain, leaving only a shattered divinity and instinct.

The Elven tribe was seen by Zephyros as a betrayal; he cursed them with a vicious curse, severing their connection to light, causing priests to die young and the path of faith to be cut off.

After Zephyros usurped the deity's throne, he was greedily insatiable, only knowing how to harvest faith, but utterly unaware of how to maintain the world's primal balance.

Under the false god's rule, the entire plane saw the continent's light and dark fall out of balance, conflicts intensifying, living beings suffering, and faith becoming distorted.

The memories converged.

Jin Chen opened his eyes, furious beyond measure.

"Damn."

He lifted his foot and kicked Zephyros's icy corpse hard.

The continent he had saved with great effort was turned into this wretched state by that thief.

Samuel quietly stayed by Jin Chen's side, sensing his violent emotional fluctuations.

"Father God?" he asked softly, "Why are you so angry?"

Jin Chen took a deep breath, embraced his wife, and began to complain.

He couldn't reveal the mission, simply saying that Zephyros's treacherous and foolish usurpation.

He solemnly added, "The faith you initially sensed with your soul was not Zephyros, but that mass belonging to me—the origin divine essence—in his heart."

This is truly a huge misunderstanding.

At this moment, all of Samuel's doubts were completely resolved, and he suddenly understood.

Thinking that he had previously wavered because of this false god, nearly causing a rift with the Father God, Samuel felt bitter, ashamed, and angry.

He angrily turned, condensed a mass of dark magic power, and lashed out fiercely at Zephyros's corpse.

Smack!

The corpse jerked, rolling slightly, leaving a scorched black mark.

Samuel then felt the tightness in his chest ease slightly.

——

The moonlight was hazy, shining through the castle's high window, casting mottled, dim light and shadow.

Jin Chen sat on the bed's edge, only lightly kissing Samuel who leaned beside him, then released his hand, arms crossed before his chest, and leaned back slightly.

He slightly tilted his head, leisurely watching Samuel, pretending to still be angry.

Samuel felt his heart tighten at seeing his posture.

He could not bear the Father God's distance, even knowing it might be intentional.

Samuel's fingertips trembled as he untied the holy robe's sash; the fabric slipped from his shoulders, revealing the smooth, jade-like skin underneath.

His expression grew more dazed as he actively sat into Jin Chen's embrace, his bare skin pressed tightly against the dark robe; he lifted his head, the red flush at the corners of his eyes like a blooming rose.

His moist eyes stared unblinkingly at Jin Chen's pupils, his voice trembling with pleading.

Like the most devout believer, he repented and begged for forgiveness before his deity.

"Father God... not enough, kiss me again, please..."

He is his most fervent believer.

At this moment, using the most primitive, unadorned devotion, he sought to regain that unique favor.

In the dim light, Samuel's bent back stretched in Jin Chen's embrace, a hazy and deadly ambiguity.

Jin Chen laughed while embracing him, lightly patting his waist, then lifted Samuel's deeply buried head, gently stroking his brows and eyes, his eyes full of pity.

"Alright, alright, this is over."

He lowered his head, pressing a fervent kiss to Samuel's wet eye corners.

Samuel inhaled, infatuatedly rubbing against Jin Chen's palm, half his body limp in Jin Chen's embrace, his lips pressed to his neck, leaving delicate kisses.
