Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 677 357: The Cycle of History, The Emperor's Request

Louis already understood the meaning of the Emperor.The King of Fury choosing to let Louis feast was reasonable due to mutual benefit between the two.

But the fact that the King of Fury and the Sin of Envy, who belong to different races, chose to feast together, carried more significant information.

Is there a clandestine cooperation between the Giant Demon Tribe and the Abyssal Church?

It's possible, after all, the conflict between the Giant Demon Tribe and Tunisia suddenly escalated at that time, because some legendary priest was fueling the fire behind the scenes.

That priest likely has issues, the Giant Demon Empire hasn't found that guy, the response given is that he's missing.

But one can't be sure, the long-cherished wish of the Giant Demon Tribe has been fulfilled, and if someone within the tribe was working with the other side, they might choose to hide seeing the current situation.

Who truly wants to become an outlaw?

Could it be that the King of Fury himself has problems?

After all, in Louis's view, the King of Fury's actions are very moving, even he, of a different race, has to give a thumbs-up and say well done.

To sacrifice for the tribe, embarking on a certain death path, is a decision not everyone can make.

But being too noble and righteous always makes Louis think of conspiracy theories.

Louis doesn't want to doubt the heroes of the Giant Demons, but if the Sin of Envy truly absorbed the power of the King of Fury before himself, the mystery surrounding the King of Fury is too great.

Don't forget, on the Lokeshi Empire side, it has already been confirmed that it was a passive killing, not an active feasting, and the opponent could only inherit the skills of the previous Sin.

The authority skills of the previous Envy and the current Envy are exactly the same.

Something's not right...

What is going on with the Lokeshi Empire?

Louis realized the confusion within, he hesitantly looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what do you know about the Lokeshi Empire?"

The Emperor glanced at him and said, "Why, don't you trust your allies?"

Louis nodded, "An alliance between nations is a combination of interests, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Now I won't trust them, and they won't trust in the future, at most, we will selectively support each other on some common interests."

The Emperor nodded and said, "Your thoughts are consistent with Beatrice's, which is good, as the core of imperial power, this is a quality you both must have."

"But the point is, I feel that the Lokeshi Empire is hiding something very important; they've never fought directly with the Sin of Envy before, so they know nothing of the various abilities of Envy.

Let alone compare with the previous Envy.

They can conclude that 'passive killing' and 'active feasting' are different; in the former, the perpetrator can't gather authority skills like me but can only inherit the previous Sin's skills... Forgive my directness, Your Majesty, without a comparison with this generation's Envy, how did they come to this conclusion?"

Louis could be sure that the honorary emperor of Lokeshi didn't know much about this generation of Envy, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so shocked after Louis described the details of his encounter with Envy.

The Succubus bloodline told him that the emperor was indeed very shocked, even... angry.

At first, he thought that anger stemmed from his country being invaded, but now it seems that may not be the case.

The Emperor tapped the armrest with his bony fingers and said:

"Don't be so conspiratorial, it is indeed a conclusion reached by Lokeshi through their own experiments."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think caused the previous Sin?"

Louis was taken aback for a moment.

According to the Lokeshi Empire, the previous Sin came from Sin experiments.

But from the Emperor's attitude, it seemed it's not the case.

Seeing Louis puzzled, the Emperor began to recount an old tale.

Sin experiments have long been established.

In history, the disasters caused by Sin were numerous, but many also chose to help their kind.

Inheriting Sin indicates that the host is exceptionally gifted.

Regardless of a genius's moral quality, they naturally tend to develop ambition, this is a fact.

Gaining power, however, makes them less susceptible to being tempted by external objects.

Just look at Louis.

With past experiences, he knows how to use a new business model in this medieval-style world to crush many chambers of commerce and reap countless benefits, yet he doesn't obsess much over money.

What is easily obtained is often not cherished.

The Sin of Greed?

Try making me become incredibly greedy, I dare you?!

Louis has suppressed his greedy heart his whole life, all thanks to the accumulation of the Transmigrator.

Oh no, I forgot.

There's also a sponsorship from a big wife inside.

For someone, like him living in a shabby small old house with mortgages on his home and car in his previous life, gifting himself as a present to his big wife right off the bat was truly a stroke of genius.

Dear, take a look at the Imperial Palace you occasionally reside in, and the Prince's Mansion built specifically for you, directly entering a laid-back mode.

Greed finds it hard to take the lead in such situations.

In the Emperor's words, as long as the wild Sin can be found as early as possible and guided early on, it's not so easy to turn extreme and can instead become a pillar of the empire.

Therefore, top-tier nations are all keen on Sin experiments.

The Emperor said, "Do you know when the Sin experiments that started this era began?"

Louis instinctively said, "Don't tell me it was 100 years ago again?"

Matters from 100 years ago have almost become a running joke on Louis's side.

He still has to clean up the mess from 100 years ago even now.

The Love God's dark facet born 100 years ago, the Mad King, the emergence of divine authority splits of the Love God, his mother-in-law being severely wounded, the first Black Sun event...
