Chapter 769 The Authority of Time

The memory of [lust] is gradually unfolding, and Sean's expression is becoming more profound.

He has been thinking about this problem. Of course Haierbo is a genius. Someone who can cultivate basilisks and invent Horcruxes, although evil, must also be a genius.

However, no matter how talented the wizard is, he should not be able to contact higher-level gods.

This is a hole. When the hole is opened, you will always have a way to know more. However, if the hole is not opened, how will you know?

Now it seems that it was the God of Death who opened the hole for Haierbo...

It seems quite normal when you think about it... Various legends about Death have been circulating in the world, and even entered the famous children's book in the wizarding world - The Tales of Beedle the Bard - the stories in it turned out to be true. Who suffered this? Can you live there?

Isn't this a terrifying whale...

[Lust]'s narration continues: "The God of Death seems to want to cultivate a spokesperson for Him in the world... I don't know what he went through during this period, but Haierbo traveled around the world and finally entered a trance. .”

"I……"

Hearing [Lust]'s voice hesitated, Sean frowned and said, "Just say whatever you have to say. It doesn't matter if you say it anyway. The real you in this world will not be punished."

"That's right -" [Lust] smiled bitterly, but his voice was still cautious, "I...I thought about it later. If Haierbo can come to the tangled illusion, it is most likely that the God of Death guided him..."

Sean nodded, he knew this - it was the Snake of Wisdom that guided Haierpo in the direction during his travels.

Now it seems that it was purely about luring a wolf into the house - but the origin is a bit ridiculous, it turned out to be the God of Death who wanted to play some 'prank'.

Yes, this kind of behavior of finding a spokesperson in the human world and then giving something to the other person is probably similar to a prank in the eyes of the gods.

Who would have thought that a prank could lead to such serious consequences.

However, after talking so much about [Lust], it seems that the core of the matter has not been touched upon.

Sean frowned: "Next, will Haierbo enter the trance and dreamland, and then break through the levels you are responsible for guarding again and again?"

[Lust] said: "Yes, we didn't care at first. The God of Death and mother are on the same level. It's just a small prank that requires our cooperation. No one will reject him, and even mother didn't reject it - —But what mother wants is to give Haierbo some magical powers so that he can get rid of the control of the God of Death."

"Helpo went all the way. We guarded each level according to the instructions of the God of Death. What I didn't expect was that the temptation of guilt had no effect on Haierbo."

"But... we didn't take it to heart at the time, because it was not that our magic power was lost to him, but that the special nature of the guilt did not take effect. For Lord Death, this may not make him very happy, after all, His toys disobey.”

"The last level was supposed to be guarded by [Arrogance], but Lord Death felt that Haierbo would not be hindered either, so he went there himself..."

"After that...the killing of gods happened..."

When he said this, [Lust]'s voice was full of exhaustion and regret, and even some resentment.

Sean frowned: "What's the key point? Moreover, according to the information I got, except for [Arrogance], you and other culprits shared the body of your mother, so you are called betrayers."

There was a hint of pain in [Lust]'s voice: "I, I did do that kind of rebellious thing... But! But this is not my true thought!"

"Um?"

[Lust] said painfully: "We are guilty, and we are also high-level existences among gods. Even though we are the incarnation of negative emotions, we all know clearly that if we really do such a terrible thing, the world will collapse. We too will suffer the curse of our mother’s death.”

"However, we never thought that Lord Death would fall..."

Sean caught the meaning of the other party's words and said solemnly: "You mean, the fall of the God of Death has affected you? And, the God of Death shouldn't die so easily?"

[Lust] replied: "Yes... Lord Death has left his authority in this world... He never thought that Haierpo would use the things he gave to kill him. And the authority representing the power of the gods does not belong to him. In his body, he... couldn't resist the terrifying weapons he gave to others... In other words, when the God of Death played in the human world, he never considered that he would become a prey."

"No one can imagine that Lord Death would fall into the hands of his own toy... And Haierbo, who was supposed to be a toy, finally showed his fangs. His research on gods is much deeper than we imagined!"

"The God of Death is a great being on the same level as my mother. The fall of my mother will cause imbalance in the world, and the fall of the God of Death will also be the same..."

"He is the god of the underworld and is in charge of the end of the world. The pillars at the end suddenly collapsed, which led to a series of things we did not expect. The most serious of which is that we begin to long for the flesh and blood of gods."

[Lust]'s voice was filled with fear and regret: "I don't know why...but just like it is something extremely cherished and extremely delicious, we are completely unable to suppress our inner desires - everything happened like this .”

Sean frowned. He thought about the nursery rhyme from before, and then asked: "Besides you and Haierbo, are there other gods present?"

[Lust] replied with difficulty: "Yes... all the gods present were involved in that terrible murder... Brother is right, we need to bear the responsibility for mother's death, if we hadn't eaten our mother's flesh and blood on the spot , mother may be able to find a way to resurrect herself...but we cut off her last hope..."

[Lust] When he said this, he actually started sobbing and looked extremely regretful.

However, the hard-hearted Sean didn't care what the other person was thinking now. It was just a memory in an illusion. Even if it was his real body in the present world, Sean would not have other thoughts.

"No, according to the information I received, several of the gods present did not participate in that atrocity."

[Lust] whimpered a few more times and replied pitifully: "I, I don't know... I had completely lost my mind at that time, and I gradually woke up while slowly falling into a deep sleep - the strangeness caused by the death of Lord Death was very terrifying. , unless they are gods with special resistance in this regard, they will lose their minds just like us."

"Whether you are really being controlled or pretending to be controlled is another matter -" Sean's expression remained unchanged, "But apart from [Arrogance] who was not present, you all gradually compromised after that, right?"

[Lust] fell into silence, and after a moment he weakly replied: "I, I can't help it... Mother and the God of Death died together, which means that the starting point of the world and the end of the world collapsed at the same time. The culprits are guilty because of the rules of the world. He went to the present world with the guidance of his brother, and his brother's anger also spread - he felt that for the death of my mother, I, other sinners, Haierbo, and even the creatures in other worlds need to be responsible..."

"He will rebuild the world, and then use the new world to awaken the mother..."

Sean curled his lips: "It fits the character of the big man, but it involves innocent people——"

[Lust] struggled and said: "I, I... I have told you before that guilt means the balance of the world. If you help your brother complete all that, the balance will inevitably be broken, and we will be truly annihilated - and! And there’s nothing that my brother can’t do! Mother’s authority has been taken away by Haierbo. The world cannot remain without gods, so the only thing we can do is to stand by Haierbo.”

"A very rational and realistic choice -" Sean nodded, and then sneered again, "But this does not affect my contempt for you."

"But I...but there are many things I can't help myself with..." [Lust] argued weakly for himself.

Sean sneered disdainfully: "Ha, it's up to you to make excuses - I'm not interested in your mental journey. I'll focus on the key points."

"for example?"

"For example, what kind of tacit understanding have you reached with Haierbo? Haierbo's weaknesses, the secrets about the rituals of gods—it has existed for so long, and this is all you have to tell me?"

[Lust] hesitated and said: "Actually...after the death of my mother, the seven sins were bound by the rules of the world. Coupled with my brother's obsession, our seven sins have already tried to revive, but we were blocked by one person, and we were again A deep sleep.”

Sean knew who that person was, his ancestor Ricks Wallop.

Um? He suddenly remembered something - [Lust] just said that, except for [Pride], the other six sins had all lived in this world before the illusion was destroyed, and each had left behind their own blood.

Therefore, guilt will reside in their bloodline descendants, and only in this way can they better exert the power of guilt.

The problem is, didn’t [Arrogance] leave his bloodline in this world?

According to the information he received, the ancestor Ricks Wallop was the person involved in the rampant sins thousands of years ago. He expelled the [arrogance] from his body, causing all other sins to fall into sleep.

So here comes the question... Why is [Arrogant]'s bloodline the Wallop family?

However, the [Lust] in front of him obviously did not know the answer to this question. Sean kept it in mind and prepared to test [Pride] again after returning to the living world.

Moreover, this time he has more information, which is the capital for negotiation.

[Lust] continued: "[Pride] is our brother. The seven sins are headed by him. His awakening can bring about other sins. His sleep will also make us sleep. This is inevitable - we know that brother He is angry and very clear that he wants to destroy the world to rebuild a new order, even if the balance of the world is broken, his consciousness will be annihilated."

“However, constrained by the rules of the world and the nature of [Arrogance], we are actually unable to resist...Other sins can oppose [Arrogance], even attack him and try to devour him...But as soon as the destruction of the world begins, we will Become a subordinate of [Arrogance] and follow His orders.”

Sean was a little confused: "You mean, the destruction of the world is a signal. After this signal is sent, no matter what happened before, you will immediately listen to [Arrogance]?"

"You can understand that."

"What's that signal?"

"Completely awaken... When [Pride] fully awakens, the destruction of the world will inevitably begin, and no one can stop it. Even if other sins are still sleeping, they will be forcibly awakened and become part of [Pride]'s power."

Sean narrowed his eyes: "What does complete awakening mean?"

"Each crime is different... but I speculate that if the soul of [Arrogance] can occupy your soul island, it will be a complete awakening."

Hearing this, Sean breathed a sigh of relief. The Soul Island was now under his control. Without his permission, [Pride] could not occupy it.

However, [Lust] added: "However, my mother has fallen for too long, and the world cannot allow there to be no gods forever - the time is coming, [Arrogance] will be forcibly awakened, and then you will be directly annihilated, and your brother will also be lost All sanity.”

He smiled bitterly: "This is also the reason why other sins cooperate with Haierbo. On the one hand, we do not want the world to be destroyed and rebuilt, which will cause our self-awareness to disappear. On the other hand, we no longer want to be beaten by our brothers for no reason. Ground suppression."

"Helbo promised us that if he becomes the new god, he will lift the oppression imposed on us by his brother and make the seven sins completely equal."

Sean sneered without comment.

[Lust] continued: "Actually, we can't really connect with Haierbo. This all happened in the disaster that was prevented thousands of years ago."

Sean sneered: "You are more naive and stupid than I imagined."

[Lust] retorted for the first time: "But we have no choice. Regardless of whether we take the initiative or not, the death of Lord Death has caused our sanity to be polluted. We are already responsible for our mother's death... and this is the only way..."

"Pale explanation, forget it, I'm not interested in your shamelessness or the shamelessness of others. I will give you a gift when I return to this world."

[Lust]'s voice became a little heavier: "I hope you won't forget your promise to me... As for Haierbo's weakness you mentioned, I'm not very clear. He has no heirs and no one he cares about. He doesn't count now. Wizards are not considered gods, so it’s really hard for me to find his weaknesses.”

Sean frowned and thought deeply for a while, then asked a question that he had always been concerned about: "Does your mother's divine authority involve the authority of time?"

"Time?" [Lust] shook his head after thinking for a while, "Mother is very powerful. She should be able to detect some changes in time. For example, I can't detect this illusion, but if it is mother, you tell her everything If so, he will definitely notice it after being reminded.”

"However, that is a special ability that belongs to the true god. Although Haierbo has seized the power of his mother, he is still a false god. He should not be able to detect changes in time."

Can't notice it? Sean's frown deepened a little deeper.

If this is the case, it is completely inconsistent with Haierbo's past performance - Haierbo not only noticed the change in time, but also vaguely felt what was special about Sean.

He asked again: "I know that time is a closed loop and something that runs autonomously, but aren't there any gods' tools that can be used to observe it?"

[Lust] said doubtfully: "You don't need that kind of thing."

"Why?"

"Because the power of time is controlled by gods."
