I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1114 - 1026: The Pinnacle of the Ram (Part 2)

"It's a shame my patience with you has reached its limit, so you'd better release today's main course. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might not be able to resist chopping off your paw and stewing it with this sheep!"

Heh, you'd have to be capable of that first!

Upon hearing the Lust Demon God's threat, the Furious Demon God, whose body was as massive as a mountain, sneered. He then clamped the hind hoof of the black goat with his nails and lifted it to stuff it into his mouth.

"I won't let go today. I want to see how you... What are you doing?"

"Samael, this is the crown of the Tree of Decay. We are all guests here. At least for today, try to maintain some courtesy."

After snatching the honey-drenched black goat and returning it to the plate on the table, the Greed Demon God couldn't help but sniff the peculiar fragrance in the air and then smiled as the peacemaker:

"This is indeed a great dish. Eating it now would be a bit of a waste. Why don't we split it after selecting the new Original Sin Great Demon God?"

"That's exactly what I thought, but some people can't hold back~"

"Heh, it's just a bite to eat. What's so special about it!"

"Enough, shut up, all of you!"

Just after the Lust Demon God and the Furious Demon God exchanged a few barbs, the Pride Demon God at the head seat opened his silver-white eyes and, with a slightly impatient expression, urged:

"Most of the potential great demons in the abyss have gathered on your tree crown. The flesh and original sin of us seven are almost prepared. Let's start selecting quickly!"

"Heh, if it wasn't for someone's gluttony, we would have started selecting already."

Taking the opportunity to jab at the Furious Demon God once more, and before he could angrily retort, the Lust Demon God clapped her hands. The Tree of Decay, made up of countless deep pink spores, suddenly opened wide, spewing out numerous demons of various shapes from the spores, piling up on the platform formed on the tree crown.

At a lower level where other Original Sin Demon Gods couldn't see, however, dozens of great demons with exceptionally strong auras were not spit out by the spores of the Tree of Decay but were instead corroded and melted by the secreted tree sap, ultimately decaying into pus, becoming nourishment for the Tree of Decay.

Perfect~

Feeling the fragmented original sin surging into her body, a flush appeared on the beautiful face of the Lust Demon God, her smile becoming even brighter, resembling a tree of blossoming peach flowers.

All the great demons who mastered more than five original sins had been completely "devoured" by her. Now, no one could compete with her incarnation. A newly born Original Sin Great Demon God with seven kinds of original sins would certainly become her incarnation!

Tsk... A bunch of misfits!

Unaware that the Lust Demon God had manipulated things behind the scenes, preparing to seize the original sin of her peers, the other Original Sin Demon Gods frowned as they looked at the unconscious great demons on the tree crown, sensing their uneven auras. The Furious Demon God directly sneered.

"Heh, these trash want to take over my original sin? Are they worthy?"

"Sigh... It's indeed a bit hard to find a great demon who spans seven kinds of original sins..."

"Wait a minute!"

After the Furious Demon God and the Greed Demon God spoke, the snake eyes of the Envy Demon God blinked slightly, locking onto a female demon in the back of the tree crown who was unconscious.

"Look at that one, the one behind that big Firefly Demon."

Upon hearing the Envy Demon God's words, the Original Sin Demon Gods all focused their gaze there, and the Lust Demon God also looked with curiosity as if she had just discovered her.

It was a strange demon with a tree for a lower body and an angel for an upper body, delicate, charming, yet pure. But the aura was wild and fierce, condescending, manically greedy, viciously sinister, languidly insane...

Just a glance found the corresponding original sin aura on the Medusa Demon by the Original Sin Demon Gods, but strangely, rather than showing satisfaction for finding a target, they all turned to look at the Lust Demon God.

"Is that demon your kin?"

"She's a Medusa Demon like you... But you merged with a Succubus, while she merged with an Angel."

"This little one is really like you. Did you deliberately birth a divine child?"

"You wretch! Did you arrange all this?"

"Heh, I indeed wanted to arrange something."

Facing the Furious Demon God's blunt questioning, the Lust Demon God sneered back, then coquettishly defended herself to the other Original Sin Demon Gods:

"Everyone, to nurture an offspring spanning seven original sins takes at least several hundred years. Are you saying I foresaw this situation hundreds of years ago?"

"..."

"It's just a coincidence!"

Seeing no response from the Original Sin Demon Gods, the Lust Demon God put away her smile and desperately sought an excuse:

"The races behind us seven occupy more than half of the abyss, and they inherit our talents from their bloodlines. They're naturally superior to other demons, so naturally, it's easier for geniuses to appear.

Our bloodlines are far stronger than ordinary demons. Even if it wasn't this Medusa Demon, it would likely be someone from our races. It's just that this child's talent happened to be the best."

"That's true, but..."

After the Lust Demon God finished explaining, the Pride Demon God at the head seat stared into her eyes and spoke with a distant tone:

"But the issue is, you were the one to propose it. Whether it was temporarily creating an Original Sin Great Demon God or the suggestion for us to divide the flesh and original sin, all were your ideas. You even have the lineage to swallow her directly.

Asmodei, tell me, as the orchestrator of this plan and the most obvious beneficiary, how are we supposed to trust you?"

"..."

Damn it, just one step short! Just one step!

Though the other Demon Gods didn't continue their suspicions verbally, their eyes turned cold. The Lust Demon God secretly gritted her teeth and sweetly laughed:

"Alright then. If you don't trust me, let's exclude that child. We'll search for other great demons.

As long as one among the many great demons present has a similar nature or isn't far behind, we can simply forgo her and choose another demon for the Original Sin Great Demon God. How about that?"

That sounds fair, but only under one vital condition... That those talented demons still live among the rest!

Glancing at the unconscious great demons and failing to find another similar aura, the Pride Demon God furrowed his brow and then looked toward the Envy Demon God.

Receiving his gaze, the Envy Demon God blinked her empty left eye, and a monocular giant python slithered from her eye socket, fixating its gaze on the great demons. Immediately, seven different colors reflected upon the unconscious demons.

Black, gray, violet, indigo, blood red, ochre-yellow, deep pink...

The dirty, dark colors shone in turn, but apart from the Medusa Demon belonging to the same species as the Lust Demon God, no other demon possessed more than five colors. The one with the most only had five original sins, far below the Medusa Demon's complete set of seven colors.

"Asmodei, you win..."

Realizing the other competing great demons had already been disposed of by the Lust Demon God, the Envy Demon God sighed and turned her head with her monocular giant python to face the Lust Demon God across the table.

"Apart from that Medusa Demon, there's no one else... Huh?"

"What?"

"Oh?"

"Ahaha?!"

"This... This is impossible!!!"

In the view of the other four Original Sin Demon Gods, shocked beyond measure, and within the eye-glaring sight of the Lust Demon God, the hairless, honey-oiled meat sheep demon on the table, positioned rear-up in the dining plate, unexpectedly emitted a complete set of seven muddy, demonic lights.

Gray-white, jet-black, crimson-purple, indigo, ochre-yellow, deep pink, blood red... Seven colors, seven original sins, just right, not one short!

Apologies... The side story was initially free, but I edited out some wording errors earlier, accidentally increasing the word count to over 1000. With the increased word count, the leave request marked "Thoughts" was automatically changed to a paid chapter. I'm very, very sorry.

(It would take up paid word count to continue writing the main story, so please check out the author's comments for this chapter.)
