The fighter jet tore through the sky, soaring overhead.
It would be more accurate to call it a jet fighter.
But that name looked cool and sounded awkward, so "fighter jet" remained the more common term.
At that moment.
Two voices came from the fighter jet:
"Tower, tower, I've spotted red Wrath and green Sloth. Requesting support."
"Tower, tower, weapons systems are loaded."
A fighter jet had two crew members: the one in front was called the pilot, and the one in back was the weapons systems officer, or WSO.
The fighter jet didn't move sluggishly.
In fact, it was swift.
After all, every second wasted in the sky meant covering a long distance, as well as burning fuel.
After one more confirmation.
The fighter jet began its attack. The missiles it carried dropped straight toward Plant Hell on the ground and the three enormous Wrath patients.
As if he'd heard the whistle overhead.
Xia Tian wasn't stupid.
He didn't spread the Green Fleshy Tendrils again to attack Chu Yunyi.
Instead, Xia Tian controlled the tendrils and sent them crawling up the building.
Using it as a foothold, they spread upward.
In no time, they had woven a massive net in the sky!
He meant to catch the two missiles and cancel out the force of their explosions!
But Chu Yunyi wasn't going to let him succeed.
Chu Yunyi slowly looked up at the second of the two missiles.
The next moment.
NO.14 [Welcome and Farewell], activated!
Whoosh!
Chu Yunyi vanished, reappearing in the sky in an instant.
High above!
Feeling the cold wind pass over him, Chu Yunyi calmly looked down.
Rumble!!
A violent explosion erupted on the ground. The scorching shock wave nearly reached Chu Yunyi in the sky.
But Chu Yunyi didn't dare linger.
He looked into the distance.
A battered building not far away was still intact.
He looked at the solar water heater on its roof and immediately swapped places with it!
Whoosh!
The old water heater appeared in the sky and fell alongside the missile that hadn't yet hit the ground.
Chu Yunyi watched the spectacle from nearby.
The enormous clouds of dust cleared.
Several figures appeared again, making Chu Yunyi click his tongue.
"Tsk. So much for the 'explosions never hurt anyone' rule."
Not far below him.
Xia Tian, who'd been hit by a missile that had detonated on impact, and the three Wrath patients were all still alive!
However.
The three Wrath patients were battered all over, their spines exposed. Their mouths were the only things still intact.
"I'm angry!!" the Wrath patients shouted as their flesh slowly began to regenerate!
Xia Tian, on the other hand.
He'd used the Sloth virus to take on a plant-like form and should've been reduced to ashes.
But three lights—cyan, purple, and red—appeared on his body. As they swirled around him, Xia Tian recovered from his ashen state!
"I told you!"
"With the power of the Seven Deadly Sins Virus, I'm invincible!"
Xia Tian roared and looked at the missiles rushing toward him in the distance, weighing his options.
But that only took an instant.
The next moment, Xia Tian made up his mind.
"Heh. You've got good eyesight, don't you, Chu Yunyi?"
"Then watch closely!"
Xia Tian shouted. Whether Chu Yunyi could hear him or not, he raised his left arm, opened his mouth, and bit down!
"What?" Chu Yunyi hadn't really heard him; they were too far apart.
But he could see clearly.
Xia Tian was... gnawing on his own left arm!
At the same time.
Chu Yunyi thought he saw light flickering in Xia Tian's eyes. It was... orange!
For a moment.
Chu Yunyi seemed to recall that each of the Seven Deadly Sins had a color.
They were:
Pride = purple, Greed = gold, Lust = pink, Envy = cyan, Sloth = blue, Wrath = red.
And orange was...
—Gluttony!
"This is bad!" Chu Yunyi realized what was happening and stopped watching Xia Tian devour himself.
But.
Down on the ground, Xia Tian continued talking to himself:
"Heh. The sick deserve to die, is that it?"
"Then how about you become a patient too!"
Xia Tian roared, his eyes wild with madness, his heart filled with boundless vengeance.
Then.
The missile came crashing down from the sky!
Without Xia Tian controlling them, the Green Fleshy Tendrils began to wither slightly. They held up the missile for a moment, but couldn't stop it.
Rumble!!!
The missile struck the spot where Xia Tian stood.
Fierce flames and explosions erupted, scorching the entire area.
Chu Yunyi was about to leave.
But then he saw a figure emerge from beneath the flames!
Midair, countless ashes were obliterated, only to reappear out of thin air.
At last, a spine began to take shape in the air.
Then came the brainstem, muscles, and flesh.
His skin and features gradually formed, and he slowly walked out of the flames!
That person was Xia Tian!
"Heh. Don't think you can run!"
"As long as you're still in this world, I'll find you!"
"And then... kill you!"
Xia Tian's vocal cords hadn't fully recovered. His voice was hoarse and terrifying, and four colors of light swirled in his eyes.
But all Chu Yunyi could hear from afar was, "Ah *&%#￥...#@￥(*! you."
Chu Yunyi's mouth twitched.
"What's that old geezer mumbling about?"
"The explosions are so loud."
"How am I supposed to hear him?"
Then Chu Yunyi remembered NO.6 [Words of All Spirits] and decisively used it on Xia Tian.
Only then.
Chu Yunyi was swept up in Xia Tian's overwhelming hatred and understood what he was saying.
That was when he realized.
Xia Tian's confidence came from the fact that, with the powers of the Pride, Envy, and Wrath viruses, all three viruses gave him the ability to regenerate.
Together, the four powers complemented one another, enough to make him practically immortal.
At that moment.
Now able to communicate with him mentally, Chu Yunyi finally understood all the abilities of the Seven Deadly Sins Virus.
Pride, the foremost of the Seven Deadly Sins, could make the world conform to its wielder's inner reality, twisting reality to match his thoughts.
In simple terms, if he believed he couldn't die, then he really couldn't die!
Envy let him envy others for being alive, changing him until he, too, was alive.
Wrath let him repair his injuries and grow stronger as long as he was angry.
It could be said.
With those three of the seven viruses all at once, he was truly invincible.
Even Chu Yunyi, who possessed the [Round Table], couldn't help feeling a little envious.
Watching Xia Tian approach, still muttering that he'd hunt Chu Yunyi for as long as he lived, Chu Yunyi couldn't help feeling disdain.
"Going to hunt me down?"
"Sure. I'll go travel to another world for a few days."
"Come chase me."
"You'll never get a peep out of me!"
