"Then I can only say that your great sin of greed may have a little problem."

Merlin said seriously:

"The Great Sin symbolizes the path to becoming a god. Anyone who possesses any of the Great Sins is a lucky person who can leave a mark in world history."

"But it is impossible for you to have two deadly sins at the same time, because under normal circumstances, your weak body simply cannot withstand the impact of two deadly sins."

"We were lucky not to die on the spot."

Louis said in confusion:

"Then what is my situation?"

Merlin said, "First, let me clarify a few rules for the owner of the Great Sin."

"First, everyone starts out with only one mortal sin."

"Secondly, for beings below the Paragon level, it is impossible to bear the two major sins. The capacity of the container is not enough."

"Third, if there are multiple deadly sins, then someone must have used [Gong Tao] to completely digest the other party. Only in this way can one embark on the path of possessing the power of multiple deadly sins."

"Fourth, even a demigod can only bear four deadly sins. If he takes more than one, his body will have problems."

Louis looked at Merlin: "How credible is this news?"

Merlin sighed and said:

"Do you know why the Elf Kingdom came to an end so quickly?"

Louis was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it because they were attacked by various races?"

Merlin snorted coldly and said:

"They were attacked by a large group of people, but that's not the real reason. The reason is that the elves have lost their ultimate force."

"Just think about it, if the emperor of your Enther Empire could still move freely on the continent, how many countries would dare to dismember Enther?"

Louis was horrified: "You mean..."

"You should have guessed it... The guy who possesses the power of the four deadly sins is our Elf King from the Elf Kingdom era."

Louis had read a lot of information these days and soon found the records of that period of history.

The last Elf King of the Elf Kingdom was recognized as the strongest on the continent. However, after that Elf King went to explore a secret realm, he disappeared.

Then, not long after, enclaves ruled by the elven kingdom across the continent began a massive counterattack.

More than a hundred years passed, and with the cooperation of various countries, the elven kingdom was soon dismembered into many pieces.

When the elven kingdom disintegrated, humans had not yet become the mainstream powerful race on the star continent.

It was for this reason that the major branches of the elves, when they were withdrawing their forces, came directly into contact with the soil of the three major human empires.

Louis guessed that the elves thought that the surrounding human kingdoms were not that powerful and could be easily controlled.

They also needed an area to serve as a buffer zone between themselves and other ethnic groups, so they acquiesced to the development of human city-states.

Who could have imagined that human beings would develop so quickly.

The internal transformation was completed quietly without anyone noticing.

The Hidden Forest borders the Republic of Tunisia.

The High Forest borders the Unther Empire.

Originally, there was a large tribe of elves bordering the Roxy Empire.

However, they were not as lucky as the Hidden Forest and the High Forest.

At their weakest point, they faced off against the most powerful Roxy Empire at the time.

So, to everyone's astonishment, the elf tribe was directly wiped out.

The country's name became history and the land was incorporated into the Rockxi Empire.

Most of them fled to the Hidden Forest and the High Forest.

This is why it is so difficult to deal with Tunisia and Enser now.

After the two major elven kingdoms completed their reinforcements, they became more difficult to deal with.

Instead, the Rockxi Empire swept through the surrounding areas and entered the fast lane of historical development.

Louis even remembered a feature of the Rockhi Empire that he had heard from others a long time ago -

The Lokhi people do not believe in God.

Yes, on the starry continent where gods stand, there is only one great country that resists belief in God.

That is the Roxy Empire.

Why did they dare to do this? It was simply because they were strong enough at their peak.

It is better to believe in oneself than in God, and this situation even affects their extraordinary system.

The Cursed Swordsman of the Roxy Empire is somewhat similar to the Arcane Knight.

Able to use spells and swordsmanship at the same time.

The most widely spread secret technique there is called "Vipassana".

Nurture a free god in your heart.

That God has a similar appearance to oneself.

This typical attitude of "believing in me is worse than believing in God" gave the cursed swordsman over there an unparalleled sharp will.

It's funny to say that although the Nine Swords of the Enser Empire possess unparalleled melee destructive power, from a pure technical point of view, the Cursed Swordsmen of the Roxie Empire are actually superior to the Nine Swords.

This can be seen from the fact that they have never cut off the presence of people like sword masters and knife masters.

The history of the three great human empires has always been intertwined with the elves.

But Louis really didn't expect that the Elf King of the Elf Kingdom at that time was actually a sinner, and a person who had committed all four sins.

Louis hesitated for a moment and then said, "Didn't the Elf King disappear while exploring the secret realm?"

Mentor Merlin shook his head and said, "Of course not. With his strength, no one in the entire continent could kill him at that time. Even the gods and saints could not do it."

"He died due to a conflict within his own power. At the time, he had already absorbed the authority of three deadly sins, but when he was absorbing the fourth authority, an accident occurred."

"Although he completed the ascension ceremony in a short period of time, he was blown to pieces by the out-of-control power of sin the next moment."

Louis nodded.

He thought this situation was reasonable.

After all, the power of great sin will only be concentrated on the Star Continent.

But the power of the great sin is not only circulated in the Continent of Stars.

He always remembered that the power of sin originated from the abyss.

The bloody battle in the abyss is a manifestation of the power of sin gathering upward.

Through repeated bloody battles in the abyss, the power of the dead is gathered onto the survivors, and then the power of the sin continues to accumulate upwards.

In this process, the more sinful powers a demon possesses, the stronger its combat power will naturally be.

So the demons began to evolve.

The strong ones become lords of the abyss, and some extremely powerful ones can even compete for the position of the evil god of the abyss.

Even some gods chose to enter the abyss to enjoy the benefits of the bloody battle in the abyss.

However, during this process, no evil god of the abyss appeared that was significantly inclined towards the seven deadly sins.

Even the Four Gods of the Abyss, from the perspective of authority, only possess some of the characteristics of the Seven Deadly Sins.

If measured only by the amount of deadly sin power, the Abyss obviously has more deadly sin power than the Star Continent.

But they didn’t show any god of sin, is it because they don’t want to?

There is only one possibility, and that is that it is impossible.

Merlin said calmly:

"This is also the reason why the power of the Abyss Blood War can continue to spread upwards."

"Louis, if you really want to embark on the path to becoming a god, you must not think of combining the seven deadly sins into one."

"The human body, or even the body of a god, may not be able to withstand the toll of these powers being completely mixed together."

Louis knew what Mentor Merlin meant.

He didn't want to follow the path of the last Elf King in the Elf Kingdom.

Especially when the great sin and lust suddenly revived in his body.

"It will take a little time for the Great Sin - Lust to fully recover, but I suggest you go to the White Tower in Enther and investigate. Where did the Great Sin - Greed come from?"

Louis pinched his brows and said:

"I will discuss this matter with the White Tower in detail. However, what I want to ask more than this is that you said that my great sin, greed, is problematic. Is there anything suspicious about it?"

Mentor Merlin was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If you haven't killed and taken away the power of other deadly sins recently, then this means that the deadly sin of lust is a power that you already have."

Louis frowned and said, "The great sin of greed appeared in me very early."

Mentor Merlin said calmly:

"Just because it happened to you very early doesn't mean it's your first deadly sin. Have you forgotten what I said before? If multiple deadly sins happen to one person, it means they..."

"Shall we have a feast together?" Louis' expression became even more strange.

Gluttony is a magical phenomenon that exists among the great sins.

The winner is able to "eat" the loser's power and directly convert it into his own power.

For example, in the Future Diary, after he "ate" the sin of the Wrathful King, he directly ruled the world and became a war maniac who planted war flags all over the world.

Theoretically, if you want to quickly improve your own strength, you can just kill other big sins and seize their power.

Even as Mentor Merlin said, even if he is a demigod, he can only hold four deadly sins.

But it was enough for him to improve his strength to a level that ordinary people could not reach in a very short period of time.

Not too much.

As long as he could be promoted to Legendary, Louis was sure that he would have the power to kill a demigod.

His first kill of the demigod statue in the Shadow Kingdom speaks volumes.

However, the Black Swan taught Louis a lesson at the cost of his life.

That is, feasting together does not necessarily mean that the winner devours the loser.

From the perspective of power level, the Seven Deadly Sins belong to the same echelon. Even if the current professional level of the Seven Deadly Sins is not high enough, it does not mean that they will be unilaterally suppressed.

As long as the other party does not interfere with the devouring process, even the weak can plunder the power of the strong.

That was the case when Black Swan asked him to eat her.

Mentor Merlin sighed and said:

"Do you know? When the Elven Kingdom entered the Star Continent, it aroused public outrage among the indigenous people."

"Because the fighting power of the ethnic group that we have preserved is indeed not weak, and we are fully capable of establishing our own country on the mainland."

"But this also means that if we want to build our own country, we will directly tear off a large piece of the pie of benefits from other countries."

"The benefits are so great that everyone is willing to fight the elves."

"The last Elf King was born during the most dangerous and chaotic period in the Elf Kingdom."

"He and his brother inherited the great sin of jealousy and the great sin of greed, respectively."

"Originally, due to age issues, his brother had an overall advantage."

"But the great sin of greed chose to protect his brother and took the initiative to let him absorb his power."

"So the Elf King mastered power at a young age that ordinary elves would not be able to master in hundreds of years."

"No one even knew at that time that both brothers were big criminals."

"For a long time, people believed that the last Elf King was guilty of the great sin of greed."

Louis' pupils trembled, and he said subconsciously:

"Capitalist sin: greed? Not Capitalist sin: jealousy?"

"Yes, the great sin of greed, not the great sin of envy."

Let’s sort it out again.

The last Elf King's sin was jealousy.

His brother's great sin was greed.

However, after the sin of jealousy devoured the sin of greed, it did not show the characteristics of the sin of jealousy.

Instead, he showed the characteristic of greed, the great sin that his brother possessed.

Mentor Merlin said quietly:

"So you understand? Suppose the Great Sin of Greed has another master, and he chooses to let you devour his power."

"During this process, he does not resist at all, and then the authority and power of the deadly sin will be completely transferred into your body."

"Moreover, since the great sin you possess has not yet awakened, for a considerable period of time, the characteristics you display will not only not be your original characteristics, but will instead be the characteristics of the foreign great sin, greed."

"Now I ask you again, do you really have no idea who left you with the great sin of greed?"

Louis was silent for a moment, and soon cold sweat broke out.

Strictly speaking, he did have a suspect——

Louis Charles Julius.

Of course, he wasn't talking about himself.

But it was the original owner, the one who embarked on the road to national destruction and was eventually pushed to the guillotine by the revolutionary army.

In theory, he is the original owner of the great sin of greed.

And he should be different from me.

It has been almost 2 years since Louis traveled to the Star Continent.

If Mentor Merlin's guess is true, then the great sin he has committed is most likely the great sin of lust.

As for why the original owner is unlikely to be lustful, the reason is simple.

The original owner displayed the great sin of greed for twenty years.

Louis has only been showing this trait for less than two years.

If the original owner himself was the great sin of lust, then in the next 18 years, whether he wanted to or not, he would more or less reveal the characteristics of the great sin.

But this point is not mentioned in either the Little Swan, the Black Swan, or the Future Diary.

In other words, the original owner might be truly greedy, or he might be truly lustful.

After all... he didn't reincarnate directly back to 20 years ago, but replaced the original owner before being reincarnated.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If that's the case...

His face darkened:

"Teacher Merlin, could you please go back to the outer realm first?"

Merlin said, "Are you sure you don't want me to follow you?"

Louis shook his head and said, "No, I have something I need to verify."
