"Greed! We seven deadly sins are equal, what right do you have to order me around!" Leviathan screamed. "Pride looks down on me, and so do you, what right do you have!"
"I advise you to use your jealousy elsewhere. Do you know where my arrogance puts me at a disadvantage?" Shi Yin said expressionlessly, reaching out and tapping Leviathan on the head.
Leviathan is a giant whale in the deep sea, while Shi Yin is just a tiny human. A light tap from her hand is almost imperceptible to Leviathan.
But Leviathan sensed something was wrong.
The crystal core belonging to the energy body in his mind was vibrating wildly, as if some extreme attraction was drawing it in. For a moment, Leviathan almost felt that the owner of the crystal core was not himself, but Shi Yin in front of him.
Leviathan frantically mobilized the energy within its body to protect its crystal core, or perhaps Shi Yin did not use her full strength?
All the people could feel was Leviathan screaming and retreating frantically in the sky, revealing only Shi Yin surrounded by crows.
"What have you done!" Leviathan finally felt fear.
"Arrogance stems from having enough strength to suppress you, while I, perhaps you should understand, primarily covet what greed is about." Shi Yin lowered her hand: "The world's wealth should all belong to me, including valuable things like crystal cores, understand?"
Shi Yin raised her arm, and a raven landed on it. Leviathan then realized that the raven's beaks were filled with all sorts of wealth.
Some are lustrous and translucent jade, some are brilliant gold, and some only hold various kinds of crystal nuclei in their mouths.
"Without me, you would only be able to live in that dilapidated palace, not even in the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons." Shi Yin's voice was indifferent: "Therefore, Leviathan, you had better show me some respect."
"Tch." Leviathan forced back the urge to curse aloud and turned to leave.
"Wait." Shi Yin spoke, and those two simple words rendered Leviathan immobile: "Spit out the people you've eaten."
Leviathan remained silent for a moment, then finally spat out a person from its mouth, glared fiercely at Shi Yin, and without looking back, retreated along with the clouds and the seawater.
Qin Jin's lightning was too powerful. The Leviathan, which was soaking in the seawater, was perfectly restrained. In order to prevent the lightning from harming its body again, another Leviathan chose to swallow Qin Jin whole.
This is why Leviathan was unable to stop Ye Shaoheng in time.
"In this state... there's no way to use healing agents anymore." Shi Yin looked at Qin Jin in front of her. She couldn't even grab him with her hands. At this moment, most of Qin Jin's body had turned into pure lightning.
The wildly flowing electric current barely pieced together a human body; the skin, internal organs, and even the bones were completely electrified, with the only intact parts possibly being the area from the neck up to the right shoulder.
However, the strangest thing was that Qin Jin's only intact head was covered with grayish-blue scales, making it look ferocious and inhuman.
There are only two possibilities: either they are assimilated by the superpower and become part of the lightning, or they become a zombie with lightning attributes.
However, with zombies exhibiting such ferocity, it's difficult for them to maintain intelligence and become among the highest-level zombies.
The golden patterns behind Qin Jin continued to emit light, but the speed at which the light repaired itself was nowhere near the speed at which the lightning assimilated and destroyed it.
"You...you're back..." Qin Jin's voice was already hoarse.
"I remember saying that unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to fully activate your superpowers." Shi Yin wrapped Qin Jin in bubbles: "Save your energy, don't leave without the energy to say goodbye."
"No, no need. Let's not let them see me like this, it will cause panic." Qin Jin forced a smile: "I never thought I would see you again."
“...It’s not entirely hopeless.” Shi Yin interrupted Qin Jin’s emotional outburst: “Hermode might have a solution, but we’ll have to see for ourselves. He probably hasn’t handled cases involving people who are practically dead before.”
"Do you regret it, Shi Yin?" Qin Jin sighed.
Shi Yin: "..."
"You're back so early, and you even helped us deal with Leviathan. The original plan was for us to handle it ourselves." Qin Jin chuckled. "Humanity's growth rate has exceeded their expectations. The remaining members of the Seven Deadly Sins must be anxious. You're indirectly warning them that even without you, humanity can defeat them."
"How many times have you regained your memories?" Shion sensed something was wrong. "When did you regain them?"
"I was eaten by Leviathan about ten times," Qin Jin said honestly. "No wonder Changge was so agitated. I feel terrible for her."
These ten cycles of reincarnation, with their fragmented memories, Qin Jin could sense that there must be much more mixed in with them.
However, of those ten times, except for the first time when they faced the apocalypse normally, he cooperated with Shi Yin every time after that, and every time he chose to sacrifice for Shi Yin and the country. He never walked hand in hand with Gu Changge to the end.
Thinking about it that way, it really is a pity.
"Hmm? Oh... As expected of a high-level space, those who get close to her are also infected by her good luck and protected." Shi Yin glanced at Gu Changge on the ground: "It's really enviable."
"Shiyin, will the apocalypse end?" Qin Jin asked.
"Who knows?" Shi Yin reached out and plunged her hand into the dismembered heart. In the dim light, Shi Yin heard Gu Changge's heart-wrenching screams.
"So tired." Looking at the sky, Qin Jin muttered to himself, "Don't hold a funeral, it's too noisy..."
Shi Yin withdrew her hand, and a golden crystal core appeared in her palm. This was no longer a round energy core; it had mutated into a zombie's crystal core.
As soon as the crystal core was taken out, Shi Yin immediately retreated more than ten meters.
Even so, the frenzied energy from the lightning explosion still made Shi Yin's long hair and trench coat flutter wildly, forcing her to hold down the lightning and slap it into the sky.
In an instant, lightning dyed the sky a deep purple that lingered for a long time. Shi Yin withdrew her hand, leaving a charred patch on her palm.
Shi Yin looked at the crystal core in her hand. The crimson crystal core was engraved with intricate patterns that coalesced into the shape of an angel. A ribbon covered his eyes, as if he were praying.
A dead mark is a good mark; objectively speaking, that's true.
Humans need to grow, but imprints do not. However, the upper limit of humans is higher. A fully grown human with an imprint will have a stronger imprint than the one left by a dead person.
But where would we find the time?
Time is stolen now.
As soon as she landed, a punch came straight at her. Shi Yin easily dodged it by turning her head, while Gu Changge was hurriedly pulled away by the others who had reacted.
"Shi Yin, Uncle Qin was clearly not dead! Why didn't you save him?!" Gu Changge's eyes were bloodshot. "You killed him just because of the mark inside his body!"
"Gu Changge, calm down. Qin Jin was beyond saving back then." Bei Qingchuan pulled Gu Changge back, and couldn't help but cough twice.
"Are you kidding me? They were chatting in the sky for so long, didn't they have time to try to save them? You all saw it!"
