The Villain Young Master Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life 2

However, the war between humanity and the demons had ended over a decade ago, with the final result being the total annihilation of the demon race and the complete sealing of the Demon King.

The era of humanity had thus stepped into the Saint Marian Era, a time devoid of demons!

In this Saint Marian Era where the demons were extinct and the Demon King slept eternally, where was there any room for a heretic to survive?

Did you not see that even after the Demon King broke its seal in the original work, it was still inhumanely beaten to a pulp?

What was even more miserable was that it was split into seven parts, and its corpse was whipped one piece after another!

Although this Demon God stood above the Demon King, what could a commander without an army do?

Wouldn't exposure just mean certain death?

It was even worse than the Demon King—at least that thing had seven lives!

"Can you tell me how the Demon God Bloodline can be fully awakened?"

[Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Bliss; these are the Seven Original Sins required for the awakening of the Demon God!]

[Once any one of these seven indices exceeds the critical threshold, the Seven Sins will pull upon one another, and the host's Demon God Bloodline will gradually awaken, irreversibly transforming you into a Great Demon God!]

[Current awakening progress: 0%]

[Please complete the indices as soon as possible, host!]

"Expand the indices."

[Understood.]

A moment later.

Seven indices appeared within the field of vision of Dark.

[Pride: 92]

[Envy: 39]

[Wrath: 93]

[Sloth: 71]

[Greed: 72]

[Gluttony: 52]

As his gaze swept over them, Dark's vision went black.

Of these seven indices, aside from Envy and Gluttony being slightly lower, all the others were actually over 70!

The Wrath index was even as high as 93, glowing a deep, purplish red!

"So, am I really such a piece of trash who is lazy and arrogant, greedy and hedonistic, and—damn it—extremely irritable?"

"This isn't scientific! The index cap must be 1000!"

[A friendly reminder from the Demon God Assistance System: The upper limit for the Sin Index under normal circumstances is 120.]

[As the Demon God Bloodline enters the awakening phase, the host will be more prone to corruption. The host only needs to keep up the good work to break through the critical thresholds of Pride and Wrath, fully awaken the Demon God Bloodline, and restore the glory of the demon race!]

"You want me to keep up the good work? Do you believe I'll smash this thing?"

"No, no! I can't get angry, I absolutely must not get angry again!"

In the mere blink of an eye, the value for Wrath rose by a full point!

Dark hurriedly held his breath and focused his mind, chanting internally: "Great Might Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama Hum!"

[Wrath +1]

"Damn it!"

A few minutes later.

Dark discovered that these seven indices were not constant; the one that fluctuated most easily was clearly the "Wrath" index.

After he tried his best to calm down, the "Wrath" index gradually receded back to 93 points.

However, the Sin indices involving deep-rooted nature, such as Pride and Envy, were extremely difficult to lower.

The saying "a leopard cannot change its spots" held true here.

Even though he had recovered the memories of his past life, it only caused his Pride to slowly drop from 92 to 91.

After all, the memories of this current life had not been forgotten.

He had truly spent over a decade as an arrogant young noble!

That deep-seated pride was truly difficult to eradicate in a short amount of time.

Even though he now had a clear understanding of the situation, it would still require a long period of self-discipline to turn it around bit by bit.

He had to lower all seven indices below the standard threshold.

Otherwise, if he were even slightly careless, the corresponding emotion would very likely exceed the critical threshold after an outburst!

Extreme emotions were far more prone to explosive growth.

and it is difficult to lower it back to the original standard.

Only by cultivating one's character, abstaining from arrogance and impetuosity, anger and obsession, greed and lust, envy and laziness, can one conversely suppress the Demon God Bloodline of the Seven Original Sins and seize a glimmer of hope!

Dark understood!

From today on, I, Dark Demon, am a brand new self!

[Please, Host, work hard to fall into depravity in order to become a Demon God!]

"Get lost!"

[Wrath +1]

While Dark was having his epiphany, the sorting ceremony on the stage continued.

One by one, the new students were assigned to the houses best suited for them, and the Noble House also welcomed new students.

However, given the intricate relationships between the nobles, no one dared to sit beside the Duke's son.

The Valkyrie Alvitr Saint Demon swept across the battlefield with absolute force, hated evil with a passion throughout her life, wiped out countless demons, and finally even assisted the Hero of that time to seal the Undead Demon King together, being known as one of the Kingdom's Twin Swords, revered by the world!

At a time when the Hero sacrificed himself to seal the Demon King, Alvitr was the representative of the highest pure martial power in the Kingdom!

The only ones who could contend with Alvitr were the Principal of Saint Marian Academy, the Pope of the Holy Church, the Principal of the Holy Rite Academy, and a few others.

If he hadn't awakened the Demon God Bloodline, Dark could have relied on the Valkyrie's protection. No matter how terrible he was, he could still enjoy wealth and glory as a future Duke.

"Damn Demon God Bloodline!"

[Wrath +1]

"Abstain from arrogance and impetuosity, abstain from arrogance and impetuosity!"

Dark hurriedly closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and let his agitated emotions calm down.

[Wrath -1]

"Hello, may I sit here?"

Dark kept his eyes closed.

"Then I'll sit down!"

"Heave-ho!"

"You're so strange. Did you not sleep well last night? I have a 'Soul-Calming Curse' Magitech Card here, I can lend it to you!"

Dark finally couldn't help but open his eyes, saying in a voice as calm and emotionless as possible: "The 'Soul-Calming Curse' should be a curse-series Magitech Card, right? You use it to help you sleep?"

"Eh? Is that so?" Diana Greatbear asked in surprise.

The way her little mouth was slightly agape was truly pitiful.

Dark's brow twitched; he suddenly felt that his primal power was becoming uncontrollable.

[Bliss +1]

"Damn it!"

[Wrath +1]

"When the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara was practicing the deep Prajna Paramita, he perceived that the five skandhas were all empty and was saved from all suffering. Shariputra! Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form; feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra..."

Chapter 3 Dark Demon Does Not Know What Envy Is

"Diana Greatbear, that's my name. And you?"

"Dark Demon."

Greatbear, the Kingdom Bear!

Every member of the Greatbear Family is born with divine strength, and both men and women are as strong as brown bears!

But what is going on with this little loli in front of me?

Diana Greatbear, who had just reached the age of enrollment, was several inches shorter than her peers. After climbing onto the stool, her feet couldn't even touch the ground, and her round face was so pink and tender it seemed like it could drip milk.

It made one want to reach out and pinch it!

Pull her cheeks, flatten them, then pull them again...

[Bliss +1]

[Greed +1]

"Wait!"

Dark suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that this girl's role in the game is that of Malfoy's lackeys—Crabbe and Goyle?"

There aren't many idiots who dare to cozy up to a Duke's son right after enrolling!

Damn it, what a trash game, it's nothing but female characters!

Dark steadied himself, deciding that for the sake of his own life, he needed to keep more than just the necessary distance from Diana.

The game Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy shared one thing in common with almost every other galgame on the market: any female character who appeared with a detailed character portrait was a romanceable option.

From a player's perspective, being able to romance the beautiful women surrounding the villain was obviously a highly tempting prospect.

Not to mention that lolis were an essential element of any galgame.

But none of that had anything to do with Dark.

He had no thoughts about Diana other than wanting to pinch her cheeks.

Keeping his distance was also a way to ensure he didn't become addicted to the pinching.

In the early stages of self-cultivation, staying away from temptation was the best method.

Besides, after the experience of the last ten minutes, Dark had completely lost confidence in his own willpower!

Giving up arrogance was one thing, but how was he supposed to give up impatience, anger, Greed, and lust!

Greed was the driving force behind human progress!

Reproduction was a necessary act for the continuation of a species!

Dark was very troubled.

"Emma? Metis!"

"Knight Academy!"

"Sara? Swati!"
