Above Snowfield City.
Yoshino gazed at the demonic dragon in the distance.
The next step is to figure out a way to wake up Origami Tobiichi form.
Origami's body should be inside that dark sphere held in the other person's arms.
I need to figure out how to get in.
But first, you have to get past that demonic dragon.
Yoshino stared at the demonic dragon not far away, which was breathing fire at her and emanating an aura that was not to be trifled with.
Its eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility.
The Yoshino moved.
She flew towards the direction where the dragon was.
at the same time.
Centered on her body, the extreme cold power spread in all directions.
The temperature is dropping sharply.
Water molecules in the air begin to crystallize.
Snowflakes gather from nothingness.
Frost spreads through the atmosphere.
A chilling, pure, yet maliceless aura swept towards the demonic dragon.
It neutralized and offset the flames spewed by the dragon.
Ice and fire.
Two diametrically opposed forces collided, converged, and annihilated in mid-air.
The Demon Dragon Satan showed clear resistance to the other Sephira flying towards him.
It let out a low growl.
An unsettling vibration rolled deep in his throat.
It could guess the other party's purpose in appearing here even with its tail.
I just want the Origami back in its place.
I'll send myself back to that boring hell.
It will not obediently surrender.
It arrives at the moment when the Spirit Core of the Sephira shatters; it has its own mission.
It wants to help the Sephira fulfill its wish.
It will judge the sinners.
Satan won't obediently give up his position.
The seven Crown of Deadly Sin on its head lit up one after another.
The first one.
Pride (Lucifer).
The first of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Ultimate light and ultimate darkness erupted simultaneously from the crown.
Light is enough to illuminate every corner of the world, leaving no darkness to hide.
Darkness is enough to devour all light, plunging the world back into chaos.
Light and darkness intertwined to form a giant spiral that Yoshino.
When it came into contact with a three-meter radius around Yoshino.
It disappeared.
It was as if they had never existed.
Yoshino tilted her head.
"... What just happened?"
Yoshinon moved her hand.
"It seems like the other side launched some kind of attack, and then it stopped."
The second one.
Sloth (Belphegor).
The power of eternal sleep.
That power, which even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could not resist and which caused souls to fall into slumber, surged toward Yoshino.
But Yoshino didn't even feel sleepy at all.
She was still seriously considering how to get closer to the black ball.
I have absolutely no idea what the other side is doing.
The third one.
Envy (Leviathan).
The power of torrents and thunder.
A raging flood surged from the void, mixed with lightning powerful enough to shatter mountains, and rushed toward Yoshino.
Yoshino extended her hand.
The cold air automatically condensed into an ice wall.
The flood and lightning were neutralized the moment they touched Yoshino.
The ice wall seemed somewhat superfluous.
The fourth one.
Wrath (Satan).
Karmic fire.
The same power as the Flame of Purification from before.
But it was more violent and turbulent than before.
The flames transformed into a roaring fire beast, its massive jaws wide open.
Then the fire beast rushed in front of Yoshino, only to bump into nothing.
The fifth one.
Gluttony (Beelzebub).
The power of devouring.
It attempted to devour Yoshino's very existence, consuming her Spirit Origin, soul, and power.
The sixth one.
Greed (Mammon).
The power of usurpation.
They attempted to usurp Yoshino's power, her Sephira, and even her very existence.
The seventh one.
Bliss (Asmodeus)
The corrosive power of Bliss.
They attempted to corrupt Yoshino's will with extreme pleasure, making her unable to extricate herself from the illusion.
Yoshino's face flushed slightly.
"Um... this is so embarrassing..."
Yoshinon's voice carried a hint of disdain.
"You're a girl now, what's there to be shy about!"
The Seven Crown of Deadly Sin.
Seven destructive forces.
All invalid.
The dragon's attack was like a spectacular fireworks display.
There are tons of special effects.
There was absolutely no damage.
As a result, Yoshino has no idea what the demonic dragon on the other side is doing.
It breathes fire for a while.
A flood will be released in a while.
It glows for a while.
It will darken in a while.
The special effects came one after another, dazzling the viewer.
But none of them could actually reach me.
Yoshino continued flying towards the demon dragon.
" Yoshinon, what do you think that dragon is doing?"
"How should I know! It felt like fireworks."
Fireworks?
"Just keep flying, don't worry about what it's doing."
The demon dragon watched as Yoshino drew ever closer.
For the first time, it felt a sense of anxiety.
There is also Wrath at having one's Pride challenged.
It can wield the power of all seven great sins simultaneously.
It possesses the power to destroy the world.
It is the king of the abyss.
It is the world-destroying dragon in the Book of Revelation.
But the reverse.
Being able to wield the power of the seven deadly sins simultaneously means that one's very existence is also susceptible to being corrupted by the seven deadly sins.
The seven deadly sins are not tools.
It's a shackle.
Pride, especially the first of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Lucifer's power made it incomparably strong.
But at the same time, it also makes it incomparably proud.
It cannot go backward.
Pride will not allow it to retreat.
Even if we are dealing with a different Sephira.
Even when facing beings that also originate from the Tree of Life.
Its pride wouldn't allow it to back down in front of anyone.
It must fight, it must advance, it must overwhelm the enemy.
This is the price of Pride.
The distance between Yoshino and the demon dragon is rapidly closing.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Each scale of the dragon was like a purple gem, with dark patterns flowing across it.
Seven crowns are arranged irregularly above the dragon's head, each radiating a different light.
Its eyes reflected Yoshino's image.
Yoshino also looked at it.
"Um... excuse me..."
She spoke.
The sound was very soft.
Could you please move aside?
"I want to go inside and take a look."
She pointed to the black ball that the dragon was holding.
The dragon's response was a deafening roar.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The sound waves swept outwards in Yoshino.
Yoshino was not pushed away.
She continued flying.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Three meters.
The dragon raised its front claws.
The enormous dragon claw slammed down towards Yoshino.
The resulting airflow was enough to flatten a small hill.
Yoshino turned to the side.
The dragon's claw brushed past her.
I took a picture of nothing.
The dragon swung its tail again.
The sharp spikes at the end of its long tail pierce towards Yoshino.
Yoshino dodged again.
The dragon's attacks grew increasingly frantic.
It's getting increasingly chaotic.
But Yoshino easily dodged each time.
Or more accurately, it wasn't about avoiding it.
The attack itself is meaningless.
Because it can't hurt her at all.
"Um... calm down..."
Yoshino attempted to appease the demon dragon.
The dragon's response was yet another Blazing Flame of Purification.
Yoshino sighed.
Yoshinon moved her hand.
"Reasoning with him is useless; he doesn't want to listen to reason right now."
"But if we don't go inside, Origami won't wake up..."
That's why we need to go in! Hurry up!
"Um."
Yoshino sped up.
The power of ice and cold coalesced around her, forming a soft light.
She moved like a snowflake, gliding lightly through the flames spewed by the dragon.
It flew towards that pitch-black sphere.
Demon Dragon Satan has completely run out of patience.
The power of the seven Crown of Deadly Sin was completely nullified.
The Flame of Purification were neutralized.
Physical attacks were dodged.
Even the approach of the new Sephira to the black sphere couldn't stop it.
Fueled by extreme rage and Pride, the Demon Dragon Satan would not be content to simply retreat.
It still has one last card up its sleeve.
Its strongest attack.
[ God's Atonement ]
Satan stands at the pinnacle of evil, the embodiment of the seven deadly sins, the king of the abyss, and the one who denies the existence of God.
However, its strongest attack is of the light attribute.
Extreme, pure light, enough to destroy everything.
This move is powerful enough to truly destroy the world.
It wasn't originally planning to use this tactic.
After all, once it's used, the destruction of this world becomes inevitable.
Once the Sephira awakens, she will face a world that is completely empty.
There are no cities.
There are no humans.
There was no life.
There was nothing there.
By then, the Sephira will likely no longer have any attachment to this empty world.
They will inevitably return to the Tree of Life.
