Chapter 1552 Confronting The Sin

-----

I felt the power of the Demon King Seed piercing further into my psyche. The bastard of Gluttony was doing his best to completely destroy my will and then eat my mind. If I lose now, I'll end up giving my body to him, and he'll most likely rampage through all and kill everyone. I cannot let that happen.

I won't!

"Do your worst, motherfucker."

"DIE!"

His roar echoed inside of my mind, as I suddenly found my mind trapped inside a world of pure darkness. I was in some sort of astral projection of myself. And right in front of me, there was an endless and monstrous entity.

It resembled a chimeric beast, between a wolf, a lion, and a bear, with three heads, six legs, and two tails. It had enormous jaws in each of its three heads, and several more jaws across its body. There were no eyes at all on its entire body.

"So you're Gluttony, the Sin itself?!"

"I had to drag you here because of your damned abilities… But this is it, Drake. No more fighting, I will simply proceed to eat you and be done with it!"

"My Abilities…" I said. "So you're saying they're canceled here?"

"Hahaha! Well, this is my Domain! I've dragged your consciousness inside of my own mind! Now, despair as I devour your mind piece by piece!"

As he laughed, the surroundings changed, becoming an endless sea of darkness. Dark red tentacles made of flesh rushed towards me, they were covered on sharp fangs, which swiftly started tearing me down to shreds.

"So easy! You were never a challenge to me, Drake! But I will remember you. Now, I shall take upon your body and truly begin a new Age! I will devour this entire world! I will bring it all to ruin! I am Gluttony, and my hunger will never cease! Now-"

"Oi, I am not dead yet."

Gluttony stopped talking as he noticed my body slowly regenerated back together from the pieces he had left behind. My mind was shattered but it simply recovered back together.

"What…?! Impossible! DIE!"

He torn me to shreds again, killing me.

Yet, I came back again.

"No… T-This is… How?! WHY?!"

"How, you ask?"

I flew into the dark skies of this mindscape, as my powers surged from my very consciousness.

"Unique Skills are tied to your mind, your psyche, and your consciousness. They affect your body, yes, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to the very core of my existence. Immortal Body carries over to my consciousness. My mind… You simply cannot break it. Even less when the abilities I learned through my System also remain, as extensions of a Unique Skill."

"What bullshit are you…?! JUST DIE!"

His countless jaws and tentacles once more attempted to tear me to shreds. But this time, I didn't give him the pleasure of tearing me down to pieces. I swiftly extended my claws, grasping his appendages and then unleashing my power.

CRAAASH!

"AARRGHH!"

I tore his limb to pieces and then ate it myself, blood and guts covering my monstrous draconic jaws. He had no eyes, but he gritted his teeth as he saw someone else devour him.

"Gluttony, I am not playing games here…" I said. "I will fucking eat you back, maybe that'll teach you to not be a fucking asshole, right?"

"HOW DARE YOU!"

He swiftly transformed into an endless mass of jaws, claws and tentacles, rushing towards me. I didn't wait a second, quickly clashing against him. I employed all my divinities at once, surprising him.

Flames burned through his body, a spiraling vortex of cutting winds constantly shredded him to pieces, chains made of holy light restrained him, and a storm of frost weapons covered on heavenly demonic flames bombarded him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"H-How is this possible?! HOW?! AAARRGGH!"

Gluttony found himself being completely overpowered every time he tried to fight against me. He swiftly attempted to employ his domain again, jaws appearing all around me, trying to take a bite. However, they were all destroyed as a Divine Radiance, a combination of my Divinities, surged from my body.

FLAAASH!

The blinding light burned through him quickly. I combined my abilities and skills, conjuring hundreds of giant stars made of frost and heavenly demon flames. They fell over him constantly, exploding into bright light and spreading flames that both burned him and froze him.

Slowly, he became a frozen statue, his screams could be heard from within the statue. I only laughed at his suffering, because he really deserved it.

"Now, let's end this quickly, Gluttony. I don't have all day to deal with a bastard like you." I smiled. "Let's get along from now on, alright?"

My Divine Radiance shaped into a gigantic and intimidating dragon head, opening its jaws and biting down. The entire body of the Sin was devoured completely. For the first time since his conception, he felt dread.

"Bastard…! I'll remember this…! I'LL REMEMBER THISSSS…!"

CRUUUNCH!

And after that, I opened my eyes slowly, finding that I was now overflowing with Demonic Energy. It still burned as if I were bathing on acid, but it was now much more moldable. I could shape its essence and influence it with my own powers.

"I'm guessing it is done, System?"

[Yes it is done!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully Ranked Up your [Demong King Seed]: [Primordial Sin Of Gluttony: Rank 0 (Awakened Rank)] into Rank 1 (Temper Rank)!]

[The density and power of your Soul have drastically increased. Your Soul Ether Stat has increased from S+ to S++!]

[You have become a [Temper Rank] Demon King, Tempers represent the lowest of demons, often summoned by human emotions and desires.]

[To rise your Rank in the demonic hierarchy, collect more Demonic Energy and cultivate your Demon King Seed. The next stage will finally give you proper benefits.]

"I see, well, my soul getting stronger is already a welcome benefit!" I laughed, looking at my status. "Hey Gluttony, are you there? How are you feeling? Hahaha!"

"Grrrhhh…! You bastard! I'm going to gnaw you to death!" A tiny chimeric creature made of my own demonic energy emerged out of my body, floating by my side and groaning angrily.

This was more hilarious than I thought.
