Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 662 349 New Deadly Sin Power [Hall of Greed]_2

Even though Beatrice had always been a calm person, she couldn't help but get excited now."Ah, how many has it been today already?" Louis said in surprise, "It's just noon, and we've already cultivated 20 new giant slimes?"

It's too crazy.

This growth rate is beyond comprehension.

Originally he thought nurturing 10,000 giant slimes would be a long journey, but now it seems hopeful.

No, no, no.

Even if the war was over, there was no need to rush Limuru back so quickly.

Louis, for the first time in a long while, felt a thrill.

After all, many seas claimed by the Mermaid Empire were actually ungoverned, and it seemed reasonable for a magical creature to get lost in such uninhabited areas.

It's reasonable for a magical creature to take root in that place and consume surrounding resources.

Anyway, given Limuru's movement speed, ordinary mermaids couldn't even come close, they'd be left far behind.

And so what if they did catch up?

In Limuru's case, calling it a demigod creature, no one would doubt it.

The rating of magical creatures has never really aligned with human standards.

Why people are accustomed to using challenge level to evaluate creatures like magical beasts and dragons is because biologically, an ordinary dragon might be at LV20-21, but their challenge level is generally LV22-27.

Yes, it's quite ridiculous.

The inherent explosive power of natural-born creatures is indeed devastating.

Among them, slimes and their kin, the oozes, are outstanding examples.

A newfound power at the exemplar level allows them to escape the King of the Living Dead unscathed, without even a drop of blood shed.

Honestly, if facing the King of the Living Dead alone, it might still have a chance to win at a significant cost.

Needless to say after becoming a Kingdom Slime.

The evolutionary degree of the Kingdom Slime is even greater.

Or, to put it bluntly, Limuru is the concentrated manifestation of the White Tower's theoretical framework, showcasing the practical applications of theories accumulated by many mages of the White Tower over the years.

Once these theories combine with the innate abilities of slimes, they reach a level of authority.

There's no such thing as mastering all things; it's merely the ultimate display of technique combining White Tower Mage knowledge and the Kingdom Slime.

Like the Magnetic King who didn't do well in physics; if his abilities were developed by a physicist, the effects would be incomparable.

Even in the recent skirmish with the Desolate Bone Great Demon, Limuru played an extremely valuable tactical role.

The ability to change the terrain instantaneously, to create advantages where none existed, even amazed several demigods of Ense.

But that's not the issue right now.

He turned to Beatrice and said, "Next time you visit the Soldiers' Graveyard, you might not recognize the place."

Beatrice asked curiously, "How so?"

"The influence of a demigod on a demiplane is significant. Especially after mastering all things, my control over metals within the demiplane has reached an unprecedented peak.

— So, Beatrice, one day I'll show you what true splendor looks like."

Thinking of the treasures beneath the sea, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Beatrice's lips:

"Looks like something to look forward to."

But in the next moment, Louis's expression turned peculiar.

He said somewhat complexly, "The Sin of Greed has responded to this call, resulting in a new authority power."

"What ability?"

"Hall of Greed," Louis said softly, "It's a skill I can't quite describe."

"Is it not useful?" Beatrice asked with concern, "Or does it have too many side effects?"

"No, neither." Louis said, "Give me some time to understand it."

The appearance of this ability Hall of Greed indirectly confirmed one thing—that the nature of his Sin was indeed more complicated than imagined.

To say that he completely believed the entries in the Diary of Greed was impossible.

He was born cautious.

Even if he started arranging plans according to the Diary of Greed's records, he would instinctively prepare multiple contingencies.

This was to ensure that when things went beyond his expectations, there's still a chance to recover.

Louis had looked into the Sin of Greed.

Or rather, ever since he became a Sin, he'd been collecting information in this area.

One crucial piece of information was that Louis's Sin skills awakened too early.

Typically, while Sins grow rapidly and possess significant power, they only reveal their authority gradually.

Without targeted cultivation, having two authority powers before reaching Legend is considered a lot.

But what about Louis?

Greed for knowledge

Greed Dominator

Mask of Greed

Grip of Greed

Excluding Grip of Greed, the first three authority powers were acquired when his profession level was still quite low.

Too fast.

So fast that it seemed there wasn't any need for accumulation.

This was later confirmed.

It turns out he essentially consumed the essence of the Deluding Kingdom and possessed their Sin powers.

Including the Diary of Greed meant he had four authority powers from very early on.

The Diary of Greed, throughout the resetting of timelines, helped him gradually consume the Succubus Bloodline and acquire the Guilt Dragon Armament, among others.

But he had a lingering doubt.

According to information he received from Tunisia, cases like his, where skills match the original host's abilities, typically indicate one thing—

Artificial Sin.

A typical example is the current Sin of Envy.

His authority skills didn't originate from him but from the previous Sin of Envy's experimental body.

That's why the Lokeshi Empire knows the skills of the Sin of Envy.

Here's the issue, though.

Such artificially transferred Sins are like vessels expanded long ago, still shaped by their predecessor.

Even if this vessel is now in your possession, you can't revert its altered shape.

Therefore, even as the Sin of Envy continuously expands its authority, only after acquiring all previous skills can new, untouched domains be ventured into, potentially leading to the Sin's unique abilities.

This conclusion was confirmed when he questioned the Lokeshi Empire and relied on others to inquire into the records kept by the Church of Glory and Justice.

So what is his situation?

Whether it's the Sin of Greed or the Sin of Fury, his authority skills are created based on his needs.

The feeling...

It's as if each Sin within him is entirely novel.

Indeed, he had asked the old chieftain.

The King of Fury's authority skills didn't include a single one named [My Wrath is the Gathering Stars].

It was clear that the skills extending from the Sin of Fury were also unknown abilities.

Additionally, considering Greed's side: greed for knowledge, dominion of greed, and the mask of greed are undoubtedly based on his desires, as if he were the Sin's original host.

But something seems off.

After all, he initially had the Diary of Greed and later acquired the Grip of Greed.

He received a clear conclusion from the Little Swan and Black Swan.

Grip of Greed is an ability possessed by the Deluding Kingdom.

And he knows, the Diary of Greed itself was the last materialized authority skill derived from the Deluding Kingdom.

If the previously acquired skills indicate he is akin to the original host, then what of the Diary of Greed and Grip of Greed?

And now this Hall of Greed, what is it?

Yes, within the authority skills possessed by the original Deluding Kingdom, the last two are named Hall of Greed and Greed for Survival.

Both belong to the Deluding Kingdom's capabilities.

He had a vague premonition that there might be some unknown secret hidden within him.

"So, what is the ability of the Hall of Greed?"

Beatrice asked curiously as she saw Louis finally return from his contemplation.

Louis smiled and said, "…it is a manifestation of myth."
