The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 478: Actually, I Am a Good Person
CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 478: ACTUALLY, I AM A GOOD PERSON
A shiver ran through everyone, the thought of such a being appearing in the real world made the "beautiful" scene alone enough to make their scalps tingle.
No need for deliberate attacks, it only needs to hover over the skies of Los Santos, the mere dissipating energy is enough to melt the entire city, in the physical sense of melting!
Even though they knew their efforts were probably futile, everyone still red-eyed, desperately exhausted all their magic from within, pouring it into the barrier.
Buzzing~
The violently trembling barrier gradually stabilized, but the rampant "arrogant sun" at the center of the battlefield did not stop expanding, continuously radiating destructive flames outward.
Magic power disappeared as if a floodgate had opened, just as the native wizards were losing hope, unable to sustain any longer, the black-clad youth standing in the void slowly opened his eyes, gathering the blazing black flames spilling from his eyes step by step.
Sigh~
A hot, high-energy breath spurted from his mouth and nose, Zhu Haomiao embraced the primordial unity, concentrated and calm, taking several minutes to control the violent overflowing energy, gradually incorporating it into his spirit and body.
The rampant "arrogant sun" slowly extinguished, the grand Dharma form spanning heaven and earth faded away, leaving only a tiny indistinct black dot at the battlefield’s center.
But looking at that inconspicuous tiny black dot, a deep sense of helpless despair surged within all the native mages.
For they knew, beneath that seemingly insignificant shell, lay a terrifying and sinister true form.
On the other side, the energy tidal wave surrounding him completely calmed, Zhu Haomiao took a long deep breath, suddenly feeling a stirring in his heart.
[Jealousy]: LV.8→LV.9
Originally, after devouring a million sinners, all the Original Sins gained a huge boost.
Among them, [Jealousy] had risen from LV.6 to LV.8, and now after devouring Cain, it had soared to the plane’s limit!
More importantly...
Raising his hand over his head, as expected, Zhu Haomiao touched a pair of new, winding and chilling thick horns!
Zhu Haomiao didn’t even need to look to know that these horns were identical to the demon horns on Cain’s head, along with his original pair, the four sharp long horns extended in different directions, like a crown wrapping his head, casting him as a demon king walking out from Hell, a blend of sinister ferocity and a maddening grandeur.
As his fingertips brushed over the metallic sharp horns, Zhu Haomiao could feel the golden law patterns on the horns becoming more dazzling, like tiny tadpoles wriggling with rhythmic flickering.
This was the materialization of evil authority, just looking at it could drive ordinary mortals insane.
With a shift in his gaze, gray-white threads spread out from the void, encasing and covering Zhu Haomiao, masking the terrifying anomaly atop his head.
Having sorted everything, Zhu Haomiao now had time to examine the changes in himself.
[God]: 417
[Dexterity]: 713
[Strength]: 581
[Essence]: 465
[Qi]: 400
[Body]: 597
All of the accumulated attributes were completely manifested by the [Greed Coin], but the million sinners’ nutrition stored in the void stomach was also fully consumed.
Feeling the once again shrunken and hungry belly, Zhu Haomiao turned his gaze toward the multitude of native magicians on the battlefield’s periphery.
They were the elites of the entire North American transcendent forces, if he were to eat them all...
Gulp~
His throat rolled, a ray of spirit light suddenly flashed in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes, a shiver ran through him, and he quickly shook his head.
Cannot eat!
Cannot eat!
If eating without restraint, what awaits him is the descent into a devouring, monstrous aberration!
[Book of Black]: Restrain [Greed], Restrain [Gluttony], [Dao Heart] +10
All at once, profound messages surfaced in his mind, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips, exhaling a long breath.
Indeed, LV.5 [Dao Heart] is formidable, whether releasing Original Sins in combat or suppressing subconscious extreme desires, it was handled with ease!
After a bout of self-reflection, Zhu Haomiao nodded with some understanding.
Indeed, as long as the [Dao Heart] is strong enough, the illusory six-dimensional attribute enhancement is not an issue!
Whether cultivation techniques or Original Sin authority, there are countless routes for rapid upgrades!
Even, if he were to lower the moral bottom line slightly, wantonly unleash Original Sin authority, to devour, to plunder, to slaughter... the speed of his "wild growth" could increase exponentially!
So... the most important is still the [Dao Heart]!
It represents the self, is the concretization of the concept of "I"!
Without [Dao Heart], he is merely a puppet driven by desire, no matter how powerful, he’s just a misshapen, twisted heap of flesh!
With newfound clarity, Zhu Haomiao gazed down at the elegant and noble Purple Gold [Dragon Emblem] on his chest, murmuring as he touched his chest.
"Stay true to oneself, do as one pleases!"
Having firmly reinforced his will, the cold, evil aura around Zhu Haomiao gradually dissipated, and he wore a cheerful, sunny, warm smile on his face.
Shifting his gaze, the black-clad youth lightly touched the void with his foot, instantly traversing a great distance, suddenly appearing before the mass of native mages.
Buzz~
There was no gale torn by high-speed movement, only a fleeting, subtle humming, as if the black-clad youth had always been standing there, smiling at them.
Even though there was not a hint of pressure or murderous intent, the seemingly mortal youth brought an almost suffocating oppression to the group of transcedents.
Holding their breaths, everyone gazed at the gentle black-clad youth not far away, an intense despair unknowingly welled up in their eyes.
Such a monster... no, this God Demon is fundamentally not something [human] can resist...
Unexpectedly, a strange impulse surged within them to kneel at his feet, piously repent, and beseech for forgiveness, but before they could act, the black-clad youth before them gently spoke.
"Excuse me, could you open the barrier a bit? I’d like to leave."
Hearing his polite and urbane request, all the mages trembled, suddenly realizing the seriousness of the matter, exchanging fearful glances.
If they let him out...
The scene would be too beautiful to even dare imagine!
But if they refused, with his power, slaughtering every one of them would be just a matter of effort!
And he would still be able to leave!
For a while, torn between meaningless heroic sacrifice and preserving their usefulness for a temporary compromise, they found themselves in a great moral dilemma.
Seemingly discerning their indecision, Zhu Haomiao lightly chuckled and explained.
"Rest assured, I am honestly a good person who never kills indiscriminately."
"..."
Upon hearing this, seeing the city behind the black-clad youth already reduced to scorched earth, everyone’s expression stiffly twitched at the corners of their mouths, speechless.
If not for this scene right in front of us, we might have actually believed...
You don’t even need to kill, just standing there, revealing your true form, the whole city would turn to ashes!
Noting their gaze, Zhu Haomiao glanced back, embarrassedly pursing his lips.
