Quadruple split.

Chapter 2646 No way
"Anyway, he won't want me to go..."

Upon hearing these words, Kachina, Marina, and Xia Lian all froze on the spot, shivering from the chill that rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Admittedly, Yu Chen's soft-spoken complaint was quite calm, and her expression didn't seem to show much emotional fluctuation. However, whether it was the head and second-in-command of the nunnery, who possessed epic strength, or the oldest, most violent, and most fearless chosen one of the Holy Church Alliance, they all felt as if their hearts had been gently squeezed by some cold claws. Their whole bodies were knotted from the inside out, and their skin was covered with goosebumps.

"Well!"

Seemingly realizing that her resentment had indeed been quite strong, Yu Chen immediately shrank back and obediently walked to the middle of the three, whispering, "Um... I will try my best to protect myself."

The chilling feeling that had just been there vanished instantly, like ice melting away. Xia Lian and the others breathed a sigh of relief and, without prior arrangement, began to affectionately rub the usually soft, warm, and adorable little saintess, eliciting a series of squeals like those of a small animal.

"Speaking of which, the power and momentum of that dark divine spell just now were quite impressive."

After all that fuss, Xia Lian, who casually pulled Yu Chen into her arms, asked with a grin, "Is it because you practiced a lot in that competition called 'Debate on Inquiry'?"

"Actually, I haven't practiced that often."

Yu Chen looked down at her slender, fair hands, which could unleash destructive power with a single thought, and hesitated, saying, "Although I do know some dark magic, I haven't really fought properly because I'm just deceiving others."

Although she didn't know what "criticism and debate" meant, Kachina, who always had a great passion for fighting, asked with great regret, "Didn't you fight properly the whole time?"

"No, no, there was one game where I played very seriously."

Yu Chen shook her head and said obediently, "But when I'm playing seriously, I mainly use our Dawn Divine Art."

"it is good."

Marina patted Yu Chen's shoulder with great satisfaction, beaming as she said, "Dawn Divine Art, excellent!"

"Don't be so happy yet, little Mary."

Xia Lian scratched her head with a rather subtle expression and asked Yu Chen, "So, even though you rarely practice or use the divine arts of the Dark Goddess lineage, your skill and proficiency are still very high, even if you only use them very occasionally?"

Yu Chen thought about it carefully and said honestly, "Hmm... it is quite tall."

Kachina scratched her head, hesitatingly asking, "So why is that?"

Then Xia Lian and the two big sisters from the Battle Sisters' Academy simultaneously rested their chins on their hands, pretending to be deep in thought while making 'emmmmm' sounds.

Finally, Yu Chen broke the silence herself, whispering, "Um, I actually have a guess of mine, can I tell you?"

"Yes, I can talk."

Kachina looked at Yu Chen with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong with saying this?"

"Wait a moment."

Marina reacted immediately, and asked with a subtle expression, "Wang Yu, you don't mean to say something, uh, that's not appropriate for us to say in our current position, do you?"

Kachina still looked bewildered: "What stance?"

"The stance of a clergyman of the Dawn Cult, a follower of the Goddess of Dawn."

Xia Lian gently tapped Kachina's head and said to Yu Chen with a relaxed expression, "It's okay, everyone here is one of us, no one will blame you. As for our goddess... you are her chosen one, even if you say something outrageous, she will turn a blind eye."

Marina: "...This works?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Xia Lian grinned, then patted her rather modest chest and said proudly to Yu Chen, "Wang Yu, you say it. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. Although I can't hold it up, the goddess certainly can't let the sky really fall."

"Oh."

Yu Chen nodded and obediently said, "I think that the Dawn Divine Magic and the Dark Divine Magic are very similar in some ways, and even feel to me like they are the same thing."

"I see. You said you thought Dawn Magic and Dark Magic were the same thing. Hmm, I completely understand now."

Xia Lian crossed her arms and nodded, then suddenly fainted.

At the same time, Kachina choked on her own saliva and coughed violently, her life hanging by a thread. Marina's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground.

"So this is actually completely incomprehensible!"

Because of her exceptionally strong physique, although she was indeed frightened into fainting, Xia Lian regained consciousness in less than a tenth of a second. After regaining her footing, she placed her hands on Yu Chen's shoulders and said seriously, "Wang Yu, do you even know what you're saying?!"

Perhaps having anticipated the three's exaggerated reaction, Yu Chen didn't show much surprise, but said somewhat helplessly, "I know what I'm saying, Sister Xia Lian. Although it is indeed a bit outrageous, that's really what I think."

"But...but you can't think that way."

Xia Lianren was completely numb, gesturing wildly and rambling incoherently, "It's... Dark Divine Magic! Wang Yu, you should know about it, right? It's Dark Divine Magic, how could it be compared to our Dawn Divine Magic... um... no way?"

In the end, seeing Yu Chen's calm and resolute gaze, Xia Lian's own voice gradually lowered. The reason was simple:

"Only I can use both Dawn Magic and Dark Magic at the same time here."

Yu Chen raised her left hand, and a dazzling ray of light bloomed from her fingertips. It was a divine technique that Xia Lian, Marina, and Kachina were all very familiar with, and could even easily replicate.

Indeed, even a nun like Kachina, who specializes in physical combat, is still slightly better than Yu Chen in terms of divine magic, at least at this stage. Ultimately, a nun is a nun; she is neither a paladin nor a temple knight. Even if she is led astray and practices the Seventy-Two Styles of the Demon-Subduing Staff Technique, it does not change the fact that a nun's role is that of a 'spellcaster'.

Therefore, given the same function, no matter how talented Yu Chen is or how much she is blessed by the gods, given the absolute difference in strength, there is no reason for her divine magic to surpass the 'quality' and 'quantity' of an epic-level nun, even for a nun like Kachina who invests the vast majority of her skill points into physical techniques.

However, the black fluctuation that emanated from Yu Chen's right hand, creating ripples in the air but without being infused with any lethality, was a divine technique that even a legendary expert like Xia Lian Zhu Ye would find difficult to replicate.

It's not that this divine spell is particularly difficult, but rather that, in most cases, followers of the Dawn Cult cannot use dark magic. This is as solid as the theorem as 'fire can never drown a person.'

However, the otherworldly girl named 'Chen Wangyu' in front of the three broke this theorem. Not only could she wield the power of dawn at will, but she could also control the abhorrent darkness as if it were her own arm.

“I can sense that they are quite similar in some ways.”

Yu Chen took a deep breath, dispelling the two divine spells that were theoretically incompatible yet surprisingly harmonious between his fingers, and explained in the simplest terms possible: "It's like when we write with a pen. Although I may not be good at using chalk, crayons, and fountain pens, because I can use quills well, it's easy for me to write beautifully whether I'm using a quill or Elvish."

Kachina blinked, looking bewildered, and asked, "What do you mean?" "What Wangyu means is that if each divine spell corresponds to a pen, then the Dawn Divine Spell and the Dark Divine Spell are written with the same pen."

Marina reacted quickly and immediately explained, "We clergy of the Dawn Cult are naturally proficient in using this pen. So, given that, if we know the specific usage of dark magic, that is, what should be written with that pen... theoretically, it is indeed easy to quickly learn and even master it."

Kachina stared at Marina in disbelief: "This is outrageous!!"

"Do not……"

The one who answered her was not Marina, but Xia Lian, who had been silent and thoughtful since Yu Chen started giving examples. This saintess, who, despite her youthful mindset, had more life experience than the three of them combined, pursed her lips and said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "I'm afraid it's true."

Kachina immediately turned to look at Xia Lian, and asked in astonishment, "Mentor, why would you...?"

"Because I once had... phew, someone I knew."

Xia Lian's right hand, which was gripping the cross, trembled slightly, but she remained outwardly calm as she said, "Although this sounds a bit far-fetched, she was indeed a member of the Dawn Cult."

Marina pursed her lips and asked softly, "You mean 'in the past'?"

"That's right, for some reason that only God knows, she became a disgraceful traitor."

Xia Lian gritted her teeth and said angrily, "She is a despicable woman who betrayed the glory of the goddess and joined the Dark Night Cult. After that, we fought once. Although it was only once and we didn't get to fight to our hearts' content, I could still feel that her mastery of dark magic was... abnormally pure."

Marina suddenly realized and nodded, "So, mentor, you also think that Wang Yu's statement is the truth?"

"No, I just think what she said makes sense, but if you want me to completely believe it..."

Xia Lian shook her head and said softly to her most beloved junior apprentice, "But you should already have your reasons for persuading me, right?"

“When I was in Misha County, I was forcibly afflicted by the Goddess of Darkness.”

As Yu Chen recalled the bittersweet past, she said softly, "Back then, our goddess descended upon Hei Fan, and during their battle, I could clearly feel the Dark Goddess fighting through my body."

Xia Lian nodded slightly and said softly, "So you still remember that feeling?"

"I've never forgotten."

Yu Chen gave a cryptic smile and emphasized again, "At least from my personal experience, the core of Dawn Divine Magic and Dark Divine Magic is really too similar."

Xia Lian sighed and said frankly, "I want to curse, but I don't know what to curse."

Yu Chen shrank back and said awkwardly, "Well, I think... this shouldn't be a bad thing?"

"probably."

Xia Lian forced a smile and said weakly, "But to keep my mental state stable, it's best if we don't talk about this for now."

Yu Chen nodded obediently and said meekly, "Okay~"

"That's fucking ridiculous."

Xia Lian rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I was the one who wanted to advise you not to care too much about the dark divine power, how did it turn into me almost becoming depressed?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Not knowing what to say, Yu Chen could only smile and remain silent.

"all in all--"

Xia Lian raised her hand and gently rubbed Yu Chen's cheek, saying seriously, "You've been working a bit too hard lately. Remember to balance work and rest and know when to stop."

Yu Chen responded with an innocent smile and said softly, "I'm fine. As you all know, people from other worlds don't get tired."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Xia Lian exchanged uneasy glances with Marina and Kachina. She shook her head at the girl, whose smile was as clear and bright as ever, but whose brows held an unyielding and persistent sorrow, and who did not intend to share her feelings with anyone. She said, "You are very smart, Wang Yu, so you should know what we are worried about."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen did not continue to deny it. Instead, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before finally revealing a heartbreaking bitter smile: "I was just being stubborn with myself."

Kachina was taken aback for a moment, not noticing Marina frantically giving her meaningful glances beside her, and immediately asked directly, "So you're working so hard so that Black Van will feel sorry for you?"

"……without."

Even in the face of such a low-EQ question, Yu Chen still maintained her impeccable gentle demeanor and said softly, "I just want to make myself more useful so that he will have a bigger headache next time he finds an excuse to stay away from me."

Marina, who didn't have much experience in dating but was always treated as a confidante and shared her troubles because of her understanding nature, frowned slightly and hesitated, "So you don't even want him to be unable to find an excuse, but rather to make it less easy for him to find an excuse?"

"Ah."

Yu Chen nodded slightly and smiled, "Because he'll have a headache if he can't find an excuse no matter what."

"……tutor."

Marina sighed deeply, then turned to Xia Lian and said seriously, "I don't think this can go on."

"What a coincidence."

Xia Lian, whose temples were already bulging with veins, took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "I've reached my limit too, Wang Yu!"

"Eh?!"

"Did you hear what Marina just said?"

"Wha...what?"

"This can't go on!"
