War is cruel.
Death is also inevitable.
The eerie laughter of the Eldritch God echoed in Li Chen's mind, "Pfft, hahaha... Using Forbidden power comes at a price."
"Let him slowly decay..."
Suspended in the air, with the tentacles below still wriggling, Li Chen's eyes were slightly closed. He was well aware of the price of using Forbidden techniques.
Memories... emotions... are gradually fading, and even his heart is growing colder.
This was a problem he had noticed long ago.
That's exactly what made him who he is today.
But he had no choice but to do so. The Forbidden had long since become part of his body, and one day the corruption would devour his Seven Emotions, and even his memories might disappear.
A black mist swirled around Li Chen, his gaze coldly fixed on the Evil Cult and the writhing Eerie Monsters below, as he muttered...
"So what if the Forbidden devour my body and imprison my soul?"
"I will eventually break free from all shackles and banish you, my Eldritch Gods, my Eerie Monsters, and everything else."
"So what if I'm crazy? So what if the world thinks of me? This is the path I chose, and even if I have to crawl, I'll crawl to the top of the clouds."
"The Forbidden Door opens!!"
Click~ Click~
A piercing sound of space shattering rang out.
The Black Mist around Li Chen's body rapidly spread behind him, and a large Black Door slowly appeared.
Black fog spread out.
This not only affected the area, but even the fighting among those in Authority Holder ceased.
That terrifying whisper filled everyone's mind.
Lust frowned, a hint of doubt in his expression.
He knew the Evil Cult had entered the City of Sin, but so blatantly?
In those few seconds of his hesitation...
With a "clang".
A black scythe was already hanging around his neck. Uncle Mu, a cigarette still burning in his mouth, stared coldly at Lust and spoke.
"War of Kings, he still has the mind to observe other places."
You really don't know the value of life.
Although he was joking, Uncle Mu was quick on his feet, and the sickle slashed down directly.
Lust smiled and said, "You can't defeat it."
It was buzzing.
A seven-colored sword grazed right up against Uncle Mu's body.
Seven different emotional faces writhe on the sword.
Extremely terrifying.
They saw Uncle Mu leave.
Lust seized the weapon, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Uncle Mu, and smiled, "Before I entered the Calamity Realm, I thought I couldn't grasp the world of the Authority Holder."
"But once I gained control of the power, a surge of desire and emotion enveloped me, and I gradually succumbed."
"Power intoxicates me, emotions cause me... pain, only power allows me to feel a long-lost joy."
Do you understand? Sloth!
Everyone admires the deeds of heroes, but I alone admire the path of ruthless tyrants!
"Only by becoming king can one survive in this chaotic world!"
Uncle Mu's eyes flashed with hostility, and he sneered, "A tyrant? He's nothing but a man controlled by power. You're a madman."
"You've turned the entire City of Sin into chaos; death awaits you!"
Lust man covered his face and laughed loudly, "Pfft haha... Death?"
"I will not die, as long as people in this world have emotions, then I will not die."
Uncle Mu was too lazy to waste words with him and brandished his sickle.
Yanwu Street.
Gluttony didn't intervene in the fight. Instead, he held an Ace of Spades between his fingers, seemingly deep in thought, occasionally appreciating the beauty of violence.
Wrath was emanating from him not far away, his body radiating intense blood energy—an effect that those who had trained their bodies to the extreme often couldn't control.
But precisely because of this, it looks like a demon at first glance.
His opponent was Pride.
Holding a cane, he showed no fear of the Wrath, but instead watched the Wrath man with a smile.
He was even teasing the crow on his shoulder.
He paid no heed to the Wrath.
Empty~
A whooshing sound rang out, and a punch, swirling with blood energy, arrived in his face before he could react. The compressed air seemed to create a fan-shaped shockwave.
His Pride eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his cane, emanating a dark green energy.
A pair of fists appeared out of thin air.
It actually blocked the attack.
He laughed Pride, "Your power Wrath unchanged, just like before."
"If this continues, your Qin Family may be wiped out today!"
His eyes turned bloodshot with Wrath, and he roared, "You damn bastard, you dare to touch my family?"
He gave Pride, mocking laugh, "Ha... things aren't what they used to be. Does that mean if I start a war with you, all I can do is fight you head-on?"
"Isn't that something only a fool would do?"
Boom!
Wrath roared in fury, stomping his foot hard on the ground, making the entire street seem to crack. His blood energy grew even stronger, and even his hands began to turn crimson. A red axe, formed from the blood energy condensed from his entire body, appeared in his hand.
"You deserve to die! Pride!"
"How shameless of a despicable person!"
The two sides clashed once again.
Gluttony's expression remained unchanged; he had no opponent, but he continued to observe the War of Kings.
Once the battle begins, the fall of one side signifies the impending destruction of that side's power.
Unlike the outside world, the City of Sin doesn't offer a single chance to ensure that a person or a force can never rise again.
Just like his casino.
Those who lost money were dragged to mine, and even though they knew how long they would have to mine, they dared not resist.
Because they lack the strength.
As those in Authority Holder, the force behind them relies on power itself; once the Authority Holder dies, their power comes to an end.
While Gluttony is still being considered.
Suddenly, a murderous aura appeared behind him, which he reacted to in an instant.
"Transport!"
With a "buzzing" sound.
A strange claw covered in runes retracted.
A figure emerged from the darkness.
It was the Evil Cult that had fought against Li Chen before.
Gluttony didn't seem surprised by the newcomer, but instead looked him up and down and said sarcastically.
"Interesting, Evil Cults gotten involved too?"
"Is it God-Slaying Cults, Godless Cult, or even God-Binding Cults?"
The Evil Cult revealed his face hidden in the darkness and said coldly.
"Come kill your cult!!"
In a flash.
Countless bone spurs rose from the ground, heading straight for the Gluttony's fatal organs.
Both being experts at the Calamity Realm, they began to assess each other from the very first glance.
They're nothing but trifles to a surprise attack.
Gluttony's expression returned to its cold indifference. "The ability to control bones... it seems you're the Skeleton who's been causing quite a stir in the inner lane lately."
The Skeleton did not respond, but instead stared at Gluttony with its dark, fiery eyes.
With a "clang".
The two used their abilities simultaneously.
Bone spurs and playing cards flew everywhere. The fight between the two seemed incredibly simple, but in reality, every attack caused massive damage.
The corpses on the street exploded upon contact with the bone spikes, and the shockwave from the swirling playing cards even sliced through a building.
