The God of Pride's "very good" silenced all six of the other gods outright.
The God of Wrath opened his mouth, but the word "arrogant" stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Only after a long while did the God of Envy speak in a snide tone. "Heh, Pride, what exactly do you mean? She wants seven divine seats. Isn't that greed? Why does it count as pride?"
Hearing this, the God of Greed glanced at Envy and grumbled inwardly, Is this really the time to get hung up on that, you bastard?!!!
If she really takes all seven divine seats herself, what will that make the seven of us afterward?
In the end, however, he did not say it aloud.
Because the God of Pride had already begun speaking at a leisurely pace.
"A good question." The God of Pride hovered unhurriedly at the highest point, a condescending pleasure in his voice. "Because the words 'I want them all' are themselves aimed at 'I deserve everything.' This isn't greed-greed means wanting more, whereas she believes she ought to have it all."
"Um... I'm actually not arrogant," Huo Yutong said meekly.
At that moment, her mind was filled with one thought: How on earth did things get to this point?! All I did was think about 'taking them all,' so how have they already started discussing the contents of the examination?!
"Mm, even more arrogant," the God of Pride said.
"?"
Huo Yutong looked utterly bewildered.
"Because arrogant people never think they're arrogant." A pleasure that said "just as I thought" seeped into the God of Pride's voice. "To deny even 'arrogance' itself-that is arrogance of the highest order. Child, you truly are well suited to my divine seat."
Huo Yutong: "..."
*Good grief, isn't this humblebragging
