Chapter 799: Chapter 412: The Great Sin · Death of Envy

"Olivia!"

Louis’s voice echoed all around.

Immediately, the sky darkened.

A dense mass of clouds enveloped the surroundings.

Magic runes flickered in the air, with electric light spreading through the dark clouds, instantaneously illuminating numerous runes.

In the blink of an eye, blades entwined with lightning appeared before him.

Accompanied by the girl’s hand gesture from above, lightning spears swept across the land.

If there was anything in this world that most harmed the flesh born of evil, surely this thunderous might would be one of them.

In a moment of conversation, the flesh of Envy scattered in all directions was locked onto by the lightning spears, chasing after it.

Amidst the flashing lightning and raging thunder was the wailing of flesh withering away.

In this brief span of time, everything returned to calm.

Olivia descended from the sky, landing beside Louis.

"How dare he turn his back on me?"

Olivia’s expression was somewhat strange.

The power shared by Louis was so strong that it exceeded Olivia’s current limits.

Under such circumstances, she herself became the most dangerous opponent.

Even Louis wouldn’t easily expose his back to such an opponent, truly believing her thunderous methods ineffective?

However, Envy still unhesitatingly split his body apart.

Because compared to the slothful fragments, the threat brought by Greed was greater.

In their previous encounter, within a few breaths, he was severely wounded, even the fear Helmer instilled in him wasn’t as much as that from the man.

Envy’s greatest strength was his almost indestructible soul.

Even Helmer’s means in handling souls were limited.

Envy deeply understood this.

Helmer wasn’t unwilling to kill him directly, but lacked the means to fully destroy his soul. If he could take control of Envy’s authority and offer it to the Abyss, he would have done so long ago.

But alas, there were no such ’ifs’.

The nearly indestructible soul was the root of Envy’s continuous troubles.

Helmer couldn’t allow the great sin’s authority now in his hands to escape his control, yet couldn’t solve it well either, so he chose to imprison his soul within a decaying corpse demon.

When he was sealed inside that body, he felt that the abyss’s erosion on him had finally begun.

However, his resilient yet chaotic soul was inherently highly resistant to erosion.

How could he possibly allow the other party to swallow him so easily?

The entanglement between the two could last for centuries.

Though there was the panic of being confined, Envy wasn’t that scared.

Given a few hundred years, he would surely find a way to escape from this body successfully before being completely polluted and devoured by the abyss.

Perhaps even Helmer’s enemies might destroy this body, granting him freedom.

He would surely leave with a smile then.

That was what he originally thought...

Until he met that man.

No, that guy was more like a monster.

Just standing there, he felt a completely different aura from the person than during their last encounter.

It was an existence of "complete power".

The world’s rules emerged on him, or rather, he was the embodiment of the world.

Recalling a certain description he had seen in the Abyssal Church’s related texts, he realized he had to make a choice.

Escape, or die.

Because that presence was known as the Transcender.

On this land of the Star Continent, due to the damned Star’s Will wielding almost oppressive power, beings above the Divine Realm were greatly restricted here.

Yet, there were always exceptions, allowing some to exhibit traces of the Divine Realm’s brilliance in the Demigod Realm.

If the Cosmic Serpent and the emperor perched on Tino City’s peak relied solely on pure power to reveal part of the Divine Realm’s splendor.

Then the man before him had obtained the Transcender’s power through another means.

That was—

The world itself hadn’t imposed many restrictions on him.

This was something he realized only after he was taken by Helmer.

In the underground city, there still existed beings like the [Fragmented Heart of the World].

It was the world’s last wail, even after being consumed by the Star Continent, it instinctively burned the Power of Rules, suppressing the powers of outsiders.

This was why when the underground city emerged, only the Hero Squad could better exert power within it.

Moreover, Helmer, under the world’s protection, not only found the means for recuperation but also remained unrestricted in enhancing his cultivation.

Indeed.

This world was a colossal makeshift troupe.

The [Fragmented Heart of the World] of the underground city was so.

The [Star’s Will] of the Star Continent was the same.

Indeed, the man named Louis, his power was virtually unfettered by the world’s will.

If Demon King Helmer was the chosen child of the [Fragmented Heart of the World].

Then this era’s Greed was the chosen child of the [Star’s Will].

He just couldn’t understand what that human did to receive the world’s permission, allowing him to effortlessly display the power at the level of the [Divine Kingdom of the Human World].

The sword thrust at him not only destroyed his body but also tore apart part of his soul.

At that moment, he truly realized that the other party had completely acquired the ability to kill him.

Though he couldn’t understand why the other hadn’t fully unleashed his power.
