"Everything is the result of karma . Even simple acts, such as eating and drinking, are predetermined, and one’s actions will be one’s downfall…"
"Roland, talk so that we can understand . "
"No zuo no die! [1] 1 …Fine, don’t look at me like that . I’ll be more direct . It means that you won’t die if you don’t deserve to die! If you deserve to die, then you’ll die!"
The scene before us caused countless exclamations, as the undying Emordilorcan met his scariest opponent ever . When the Brothers of the Gourd [System: Are you sure that you’re going to call them by this name?] …Fine, when the unnamed Divine Sins locked on to their father, the destined battle began explosively .
Or should I say that it was a suppression rather than a battle…
If Emordilorcan had been in his top, uninjured condition, perhaps this battle would have been more equally matched . However, he had been heavily injured in the mortal plane, and he had just gone through the baptism of ice and fire . The destruction of his clone children had also given him quite a bit of damage . Just maintaining his physical body and preventing it from collapse was already getting difficult for him, not to mention he had to deal with the incredibly dangerous Divine Sins .
On the other side, the seven rebellious children had just been revived, and their powerful hatred gave them limitless motivation . Their natural talent to absorb the earth element was the natural counter to all earth elemental creatures, and since they were Emordilorcan’s cloned children, they also had Emordilorcan’s battle experience and techniques!
These souls had been within Emordilorcan’s body just earlier, but they now began fighting with him . This time, even the strong Emordilorcan had a look of despair flash in his eyes when he discovered that his heavy punch, which could tear even the dimensional fabric, now became his opponent’s technique .
"Ahhh! If you want my head, you’ll have to take it with your lives!"
Still, Emordilorcan raised his head and shouted angrily to the skies before exploding with the viciousness of a warrior .
But, no matter what he did, it was still meaningless . What happened next showed that this battle had a foregone conclusion from the very start, or perhaps I should call this a dinner rather than a battle .
Emordilorcan’s attacks had all become ineffective, and any contact caused his body parts to be stolen through earth element absorption . What could he do? With just a single exchange, Emordilorcan was pressed down onto the ground, which was followed by an early Armageddon, just for him .
"Ahhh!"
The seven Divine Sins opened their mouths wide and began chowing down on their father’s flesh and bones . They instinctively began completing their incomplete selves, weakening Emordilorcan by stealing away his earth element . Emordilorcan could only pitifully scream as he watched his own demise . After Emordilorcan devoured more than thirty of his own children, it was time for his children to devour him .
[Divine Sins: Unnamed . The Divine Sins were created from the Earth Elemental God Emordilorcan . Currently undergoing evolution . Already known abilities: earth element absorption, negative divine power . System Assessment: If you can’t find any method to deal with them, then just run away . This isn’t shameful as well . I’m being serious . In the Earth Elemental Plane, most likely not even a True God will be their match!]
The system’s assessment was very appropriate . Even the forbidden spell’s casting behind me had ended . Kaid had preferred to take the elemental backlash and escape with his team .
Seeing the Earth Elemental God receive the punishment he deserved, I hesitated for a moment before coming to a decision .
"We’ll retreat as well…"
"Um, everyone wait a moment…"
Just as I made the decision to retreat, Reyne suddenly spoke up with an awkward expression on her face . She never expected things to end up like this .
"…I think I can control them . "
"What!"
"What!?’
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock . Controlling Divine Sins? This was unheard of . If Divine Sins could be controlled so easily, they wouldn’t be existences that gave even True Gods headaches . The only way to deal with them was to repeatedly seal them .
Seeing our expressions of shock, Reyne started panicking as well . Everything she did just now was when she was in a daze, and even she was unsure of what it was .
"When I was making a connection with them earlier, there was a line like ‘I, Reyne Qin Mist, representative of Chaos, shall give you all one more chance . Become my slaves for a chance at revenge’ in the incantation . They answered my summons, so a contract should have been formed . I should be able to control them, I think . "
"Can you control them now? Make them listen to your commands? You’re certain?"
Although there may have been a contract, Divine Sins were far too dangerous—it was to the extent that even demons wouldn’t dare to deal with one, which was unbelievable . Even when I possessed "Shadow," it was the same for me—I barely dared to use him . Apart from fearing that the Gods would notice and simply kill me with a flick of their fingers, I also feared the possible backlash from him .
"I’ve researched Divine Sins as well before . They’re basically impossible to communicate with . Are you certain that they even understand what a contract between master and servant is? When you approach one, just see if they’ll treat you as a passing snack . "
Reyne sunk into meditation as she closed her eyes and lowered her head . She was inspecting the contract connection she had with them and was trying to see if she could control them .
But she quickly opened her eyes with an expression filled with fear .
"…These creatures have no sense of reason at all . They instinctively hate everything, and they want to tear everything apart . At most, I can control them to have them destroy someone, but I can’t control them to not destroy someone . "
Whelp! That was the result, after all . But it was already much better than what I expected .
"Can you order them to hibernate?"
Judging from my experience in controlling Shadow, Divine Sins all acted based on instinct . Commands that were similar to instincts such as eat, sleep, and attack were all commands that they could understand .
"Let me try . "
Reyne closed her eyes again, and this time she revealed a jubilant expression .
"…Not currently, but it should work once they’ve eaten their full . "
Hearing this, everyone finally heaved breaths of relief . For Emordilorcan, who was so strong, to turn into food for these Divine Sins so easily gave us a huge amount of pressure .
