Chapter 149 Seven Deadly Sins! The Devil's Law!

A three-storey villa with a garden courtyard.

Xiao En's figure stood on the balcony, looking at the Dusk Town in the distance. Not far away was a blue lake. He was holding a glass of mellow wine, looking calmly ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

"Owner."

A young and beautiful maid came over and bowed her head respectfully and said, "Dinner is ready."

Xiao En nodded calmly upon hearing this and said, "I understand. Let's go down."

This is the old mayor's private villa, and now it is Xiao En's temporary residence. It must be said that the old man really knows how to enjoy life. There are more than a dozen young and beautiful maids in this villa. Xiao En gained more than 3.5 million dinars in yesterday's operation. Even if it is converted into gold, it is a lot of money. If it can be exchanged with Abyss City, it is worth more than 3,000 soul stones. As for the purchasing power of this money, the price of ordinary houses in the lower city of Dorne is about 3,000 to 6,000 dinars. According to the average standard, it can buy more than 500 houses.

And these are just the cash flows that Sean has obtained. As for the other wealth, it is still being liquidated. The old man's assets should be more than 10 million dinars. There are many real estates belonging to him in this villa area alone.

"Sure enough, after embracing darkness, wealth is within reach."

Xiao En let out a sigh. He had been through life and death several times in the weird country, but none of them had yielded as much as he had yesterday. During the inventory and cleanup process, he also obtained several extraordinary relics. However, the strange objects in the real country were far less powerful than those outside. They were all low-level and inferior strange objects.

In the real world, a supernatural level of 10 is already a master, but in the weird world, this is just the level of high-level cannon fodder.

"How do you play a devil?"

The best way for a transcendent to digest the corresponding domain law is to fit in with the concepts it contains. Big concepts such as death, nature, and life are easier to get started with because they are big enough. Taking the concept of nature as an example, even if you sow a forest to restore the natural ecology, you can complete the first domain visit. However, it is very difficult to fully obtain the corresponding domain law for such a big concept, because the more concepts nature contains, the more elements you need to complete.

The devil is a realm that tends to be racial. The threshold for Sean to access this realm is high, but the difficulty of obtaining it is not as exaggerated as natural death.

Once you master the rules of any field, your own strength will be greatly improved.

In addition, you can also use the corresponding fields to condense the laws of priesthood.

"I am not a transcendent of the monster path, nor do I have the racial template of a devil."

"So I want to visit the devil's realm."

"The best way is to make yourself fit the concept of the devil, which is a kind of role-playing method. In this way, you can master the devil's laws."

Those extraordinary people who are transformed into the devil race will naturally possess the devil's nature, and Sean can only imitate and play the devil's nature.

"And what is the devil?"

Sean fell into deep thought. He had his own way of understanding the devil. Mastering a field was extremely difficult. Some people even needed decades to do so. But Sean did not have so much time to waste. He had to find an efficient way to digest it.

"Demons are chaotic evil, devils are lawful evil."

"If I want to conform to the devil's laws, the first step is to change my alignment and make it more lawful evil."

This requires having a flexible moral bottom line.

Devils are a race with limited camps. Before studying the nature of devils, one cannot avoid the devil's camp. Sean's current camp tends to be neutral and good. He must find a way to convert his camp to lawful evil and act according to the devil's principles. Only in this way can he speed up the process of digesting the devil's domain.

Because the devil is evil, Sean did not completely eradicate the gray forces in Dusk Town, but instead secretly controlled them.

Only by embracing evil can you access the devil's laws.

He is not a messenger of justice, and he has no way to eradicate the evil and madness of the weird country. What he needs is to use this process to match the power of the devil and master the corresponding conceptual field.

"The first step is to transform into the lawful evil camp, conform to the devil's code of conduct, and gain the ability to visit the devil's realm for the first time."

Xiao En closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, muttering: "The second step is to play the role of a devil and complete a soul harvest through the devil's means. This should help me get the permission to visit the devil's domain for the second time."

"As for the third step, how should I be promoted to the Devil Grand Duke? This is the problem that bothers me."

“What is the nature of the devil?”

Sean sat down at the luxurious dining table, picked up the silver knife and fork, and tasted the food in front of him. Beside him were more than a dozen young and beautiful maids serving him. Opposite him was a middle-aged man waiting respectfully. His name was Daniel Aitch, and he was the next mayor's successor chosen by Sean.

Relying on the power of the spiritual path, he has paved the way for the other party.

In the past, Xiao En's food, clothing, housing and transportation were relatively simple, and he did not deliberately pursue anything, but now he arranges his daily life according to the standards of the superiors of the indigenous people.

"Seven deadly sins!"

With the service of more than a dozen servants, Sean enjoyed today's dinner. The moment he stood up, an inspiration flashed through his mind. He instantly realized something and grasped an opportunity to be promoted to the Devil's Grand Duke.

"The Tanar'ri demons were born from the seven deadly sins of mankind."

"As a replica of the devil's genes, the Baatezu devil also has the evil nature of the seven deadly sins."

"It's just that one tends to be more towards chaos, and the other tends to be more towards order."

Sean began to search his memory, looking for information about Baator, but he had read too few books. He had no choice but to seek help from Lady Hecate through rituals at night, hoping to get more detailed information about Baator through the indigenous demigod, and obtain intelligence on the devil dukes.

At midnight.

A ghostly hand brought Sean what he needed. As the Queen of Purgatory, Ms. Hecate naturally knew a lot about the mysterious knowledge of the devil's ways.

——Reading magic.

Sean began to memorize the knowledge in the mystical scroll, which recorded a lot of knowledge about the Hell of Baator, as well as detailed information about the Devil's Grand Duke.

"The Lord of Avernus, the first layer of Baator Hell, the Devil Duke Bayer, a warmongerer, a great devil who was promoted in a bloody battle. He has the characteristic of symbolizing 'rage'."

"The Lord of Dis on the second layer of Baator Hell, the Devil Duke Dispater, is well-known in all realms for being the most cautious and calculating."

"The Lord of Minauros, the third layer of Baator, the Devil Duke Mammon, is extremely arrogant and conceited, and at the same time, he prostrates himself before Asmodeus without any shame. He is a two-faced, vengeful devil."

"The Lords of Phlegethos, the fourth layer of Baator Hell, Belia and Firna, the devil dukes who symbolize 'lust'."

"Levistus is the Lord of Stygia, the fifth layer of Baator. He is the embodiment of conspiracy and ambition. He once tried to seduce Asmodeus's spouse, Bisorzia, but failed and killed her. He was then imprisoned in the glacier by the Lord of Hell."

………………

After Sean completely deciphered the secret scroll about Baator Hell, he had a general understanding of the power of the Devil Grand Duke.

——That’s all!
This is Sean's truest feeling. The Demon Dukes also succumbed to the nature of evil. Except for the unfathomable Lord of Hell - Asmodeus, the other Demon Dukes can be traced. They are obviously the product of the amplification of corresponding desires, and they are in charge of the laws of corresponding concepts.

"In other words, the authority of the Devil Duke is equivalent to a training session in the way of magic for me."

“I can act, but I can’t be obsessed with it.”

"Otherwise, I will really become the Devil Duke!"

The biggest taboo for extraordinary people to be promoted is that they cannot be assimilated by the laws. It is people who control the power of the laws, rather than the power of the laws controlling people.

The authority of the Devil's Grand Duke can only help Sean. If he really becomes the Devil's Grand Duke, it will limit the upper limit of his own strength.

"Then for me, the most effective way is to experience the seven deadly sins myself."

"Master the corresponding power of the law by assimilating the evil essence of the devil!"

In this crazy and bizarre country, it is difficult for you to seek justice and kindness. Instead, it is the power of those evil realms that has not been distorted too much by the old laws.

"Pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust." Xiao En pondered for a long time and said to himself, "If I experience all of them myself, I'm afraid it will pollute my Tao heart."

"Is there any other way for me to complete the experience of the devil's law without polluting myself?"

The power of the spiritual path!
The first thing Xiao En thought of was "thought resonance", but this was not enough. He also needed to understand more deeply the evil nature of the perceived devil. He needed to replace certain people and experience all of this using their identities without getting caught up in it himself.

If he were to completely assimilate himself, he would be no different from any other devil duke.

"How to master the devil's domain, I still need a more detailed plan."

“Perhaps you can consider the capitalists in your previous life.”

"Exploiting and satisfying my own greed should also help me visit the devil's realm."

Every time he visits the devil's realm, he will gain the corresponding devil's abilities.

Sean needs to visit the laws of the devil's realm three times before he can fully grasp this concept and possess the ability to dominate and enslave other extraordinary people from the devil's path.

In other words, he became the superior of the devil's way and possessed the authority of the corresponding laws.

"You might consider starting with binge eating."

This is the easiest condition for Xiao En to achieve at present. Gluttony in a narrow sense is wasting food, and in a broad sense is indulging in certain things and excessive pursuit of pleasure, which is an extreme form of hedonism. In Twilight Town, this is the easiest factor for Xiao En to achieve. The materials in the real country are more abundant, and it is easier for him to satisfy his material desires here.

"arrogant."

"The most obvious characteristic of this is disrespect for the gods. Asmodeus has no fear of the gods."

It is not difficult for Xiao En to achieve this because he never believes in gods. However, the essence of arrogance is a manifestation of strength. Without corresponding strength, arrogance becomes arrogance. As long as he reaches the later stage of the path of destiny, he should be able to make up for the element of arrogance.

"Lust."

"Veronica alone may not be enough. I may need to fall into a deeper darkness if I want to complete it."

"Sloth, greed, and wrath."

"The laws of the devil's realm are the extremes of the dark side. If I want to completely control them, I must find a way from other people."

Mental demon?

Sean thought of a terrible spell.

In his opinion, this spell was a bit like planting a demon in one's heart, using other people to make up for the missing part of oneself, but one himself would not be affected by the cause and effect.

"You can try it."

"I will plant a demon seed in a specific target, and then secretly control him through the power of the telepathy, so that he can complete the trial of the devil's realm for me."

"If that's the case, then I need to prepare a batch of extraordinary relics to plant demon seeds in advance."

Sean possesses both the power of the arcane and the power of psychic powers, so he has many options to choose from.

The day passed quickly.

Xiao En first arranged his daily diet and living according to the highest standards, which could even be said to be extremely luxurious and wasteful, but the laws of the devil's realm remained unchanged, and there was no progress in analyzing the concept of gluttony.

This meant that his previous understanding was wrong. He was unable to master the original sin of gluttony by experiencing a life of extravagance. Something must have gone wrong, and his acting method had reached a bottleneck.

That night, Xiao En arranged for more than ten beautiful maids to sleep with him. This could be said to be a lewd and dissolute experience that he had never dared to imagine in the past, but unfortunately, the result was that the original sin of lust did not change at all.

"What went wrong?"

Xiao En was sure that his theory was correct, but in the process of practice, he did not gain anything, and his digestion of the devil's realm made no progress.

This situation continued until the third day.

Sean was invited to attend a dinner party prepared by the dignitaries of Dusk Town. It was a secluded mountain villa. As soon as the fawning servants opened the door, Sean saw a scene of extravagance and debauchery. Under the hanging crystal chandelier, the dining table in the hall was filled with sumptuous food. There were creatures running on the ground, flying in the sky, and swimming in the water, almost exhausting mankind's pursuit of food. The delicacies that ordinary people longed for but could not afford were just randomly placed embellishments for them, because no one paid attention to these delicacies and wines at all.

On the way to the dinner, Xiao En also saw a group of poor people who were half-naked and hungry. It was really like 'the rich have wine and meat, but the poor are freezing to death on the streets'.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

Dozens of beautiful women in scantily clad clothes shuttled through the dinner party, wearing all kinds of strange masks on their faces, some were decorated with butterflies, some were embellished with feathers, and some had strange patterns. Their naked snow-white skin shone with an alluring luster under the lights and candlelight, and their plump breasts trembled slightly, with only a little decoration in key positions. On their fair and slender necks, they wore golden collars that looked like slave marks.

They were also part of this extravagant dinner.

This was just a remote town with a population of tens of thousands. Sean found it hard to imagine how decadent and extravagant the guardian family of the Dagon region was.

Sean walked slowly to the center of the hall, reached out to pick up a glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp with an expressionless face. His identity was Daniel Aitch's deputy. No one here knew that he was the mastermind behind the reshuffle of power in Dusk Town. They were just happy that they had got a bigger piece of the pie, and through this extravagant dinner they could make more new nobles and demonstrate their financial strength.

From the corridor on the second floor, a woman's suppressed moans could be faintly heard.

Those who were obviously older and more decrepit were quietly discussing the future cooperation and distribution of benefits, while the younger guests, after selecting their favorite maids, took them into a room on the second floor.

In this lewd banquet, there were even some women walking around who were obviously dressed as noble ladies and did not have slave collars on them. They were well-dressed and covered in jewels, and seemed to be used to everything around them. Their reserved and restrained behavior inadvertently revealed a hint of debauchery.

They are higher-level socialites, perhaps the widow of some powerful person, or the family of a businessman who wants to curry favor with the powerful.

This is reality.

Dagon's corruption was even more corrupt than he had imagined. The interests of this land were intertwined, forming a huge web that had imprisoned everyone. Even though Xiao En's strength far exceeded everyone else's, he couldn't change anything unless he cleaned up everything and physically eliminated these termites.

Xiao En raised his glass and drank it all. He suddenly smiled.

Gluttony in digestion.

Lust is digesting.

Greed is digesting.

Although the digestion progress was not obvious, it was much faster than if he tried it himself.

At this moment, he had some understanding of how he should digest the power of the devil's law!
It turned out that he had really taken the wrong path before.

He is a man who has to experience the world, and he cannot work in isolation. He needs to see all kinds of people and the filth and evil of the world. It is a kind of cognitive arrogance to wish that he can digest the original sin of lust by indulging in lust.

He is just an actor, he can never truly fit in. No matter how hard he tries, he will always be just a little bit short. The real chance for a breakthrough lies with these indigenous people because they are the ones involved in the game.

Xiao En's true path is that of an observer. He needs to see all the original sins in the world from a bystander's perspective, and condense the laws of the devil's realm with a joking attitude!

Because he is Eamon now.

He couldn't wait to find out just how depraved Dagon's family of guardians had become.

Without facing the deepest darkest sin, you will never be able to master the devil's realm.

If he could get the original sin rules of the seven deadly sins, perhaps he could obtain some of Asmodeus' devilish power!
