Louis wanted to say this to the group, but in the end he didn't say it.

There was so much information in Emperor Roxy's words that he couldn't react for a while.

But what is certain is that the Rockxi Empire once had great sins, and that time was very close to the present.

Beatrice looked at Tal Griffin warily and said, "I have never heard of you having any contact with the great sin of jealousy."

Tal sighed and said, "If you knew about this, we would have to suspect that some of the thirteen families' patriarchs were no longer firm in their stance."

Louis said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me what the situation is?"

The emperor pinched his brows, as if thinking about how to say this matter.

After a long moment, he looked at the Cardinal of the Church of the God of Justice.

"Use the power of the holy emblem to prove whether what I said is a lie."

The gods of some churches have the ability to discern lies. The pastors of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice are God's spokesmen on earth and have also acquired this ability.

The cardinal nodded, took out the holy emblem and pinned it on his chest, then placed his hand on it and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Tal said calmly:

"The top powers have never stopped their research on the power of sin, this is true for Unser and us as well."

"The research we conducted 25 years ago has yielded some promising results. A special individual who can use the power of the great sin, jealousy, has been born in the laboratory."

Louis exclaimed, "Good guy."

He did know the records related to the White Tower.

The direction of Baita's research at that time was to focus on the most stable sin, greed.

——Louis seriously suspected that they had obtained some secret information and learned about the last Elf King in the High Forest.

He learned from his mentor Merlin that the last king of the elven kingdom was the great sin of jealousy.

However, his brother voluntarily gave up his life, allowing jealousy to devour greed, and disguised himself as the host of the great sin of greed, and moved around in the world.

As for why it was the younger brother who devoured the older brother instead of the older brother devouring the younger brother, the conclusion given by Mentor Merlin was that the Elf King's elder brother was stronger, and after the feast together, the younger brother's power would mainly be based on the older brother's [greed], which would inevitably suppress [jealousy].

But there is a small point.

Jealousy is more difficult to control than greed.

Even if other hosts of deadly sins devour jealousy, they only possess this part of the power, which does not mean that they can be easily controlled like the deadly sins they themselves possess.

From the perspective of power level, whether it is the elder brother's greed or the younger brother's jealousy, they are both forces of the same level.

But just because the younger brother can fight jealousy which is more likely to get out of control doesn't mean the older brother can fight jealousy.

Even if the brother was strong at the time, he might have quickly fallen into depravity after being filled with jealousy.

Then……

With a bang.

It's all over.

On the contrary, although the younger brother is weak now, he can control the jealousy that is more likely to get out of control, so at least on the operational level he can be relieved of some of the burden of greed.

So Mentor Merlin said that the best option given by the Elf Kingdom at that time was for the younger brother to devour the older brother.

But whether or not to implement this plan is decided by the Elf King's brother, the de facto next heir to the Elf Kingdom.

——After all, he is better than his brother.

Finally, after mutual compromise, the "brother eats brother" incident came into being.

Pride > Envy = Lust > Wrath > Gluttony > Greed = Sloth This is the ranking of the difficulty of controlling different sins among the seven deadly sins.

This was the result of a massive amount of experimental measurements conducted by the Elf Kingdom at the time.

Knowing the arrogance of this generation, Emperor Lao Deng himself is a natural sin.

The same is true of this generation’s gluttonous pope.

Louis had learned before from the former chieftain of the Cursed Legion that it was more than forty years ago that the Wrathful King manifested the power of great sin.

The little swans are born earlier.

Strictly speaking, she is actually a little older than Beatrice, but she has been sleeping for unknown reasons.

Considering Little Swan's current age, the timeline in which she became the great sin of Sloth should be before the King of Wrath.

Then there are many mysteries.

Louis raised his head and looked at Emperor Tal:

"Sir Tal, let me interrupt you. I want to ask you why you chose to be jealous at that time?"

Tal sighed and said, "It's not that we want to be jealous, but we have no choice but to be jealous."

"What do you mean by that?"

Tarr said: "Pride, gluttony, and laziness, the three deadly sins, were already born long before we started the experiment. The three deadly sins have already appeared, so no matter how much we try, it is useless."

Louis nodded.

Reasonable! Exactly what he thought.

Judging from the timeline, the time when these three sins were born is obviously Gluttony (Pope) > Pride (Emperor) > Sloth (Cygnet).

Even the last little swan was born more than ninety years ago.

Judging from the memories left by the Mad King, Princess Diana was already pregnant with Little Swan on the eve of the birth of the dark side of the god of love.

But for some reason, Little Swan did not appear in the royal family until 22 years ago, when Beatrice was born, and then she became known as the younger sister.

"You can't choose Fury," Louis added, "The former chief said that the King of Fury was active more than 40 years ago, and you should have noticed it when you started the experiment."

Tal nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, the experiment was completed 25 years ago, and the actual start time was 37 years ago. At that time, although we didn't know that the Troll Tribe had obtained the Rage, we could find that there were four kinds of deadly sins condensed on the Star Continent."

Louis understood.

That leaves only jealousy, lust and greed to choose from.

Beatrice thought, "You can't choose greed."

"Huh?" Louis was stunned for a moment. He remembered that the greed experiment should be earlier than Roxy's.

The Cardinal of the God of Glory and Justice remembered something, smiled and said:

"Although the White Tower's greed experiment project started late, other great powers had done it before. I have heard about it. It is said that a considerable part of the White Tower's experimental data came from the Supreme Forest."

Louis suddenly realized.

That makes sense.

The last generation of Elf Kings in the Elf Kingdom were mainly active in the identity of the great sin of greed, so there is no reason for the elves to lack awareness of the great sin of greed.

I am afraid that related research is far more than that of other countries.

Although it is not known why the Supreme Forest decisively abandoned this project, Enther was feeling his way forward with the Supreme Forest, so he kept the experimental data consistent from the beginning and pushed forward.

When they were in the hands of the High Forest, no one would have thought that their experimental progress could be faster than that of the elves.

When it came into Enther's hands, those who wanted to chase him lost their desire to study it when they thought that Enther had already crossed the river by touching the High Forest.

Pride, gluttony, rage, and laziness all have their masters.

Greed has been studied, and the progress is far greater than that of other countries.

The only options left are jealousy and lust, right? Louis was furious.

As if he had noticed Louis's subtle expression, Tal snorted coldly and said:

"I, Roxy, have not yet fallen to the point where I need to use countless female subjects to please a great sin."

The healer who had been eating melons on the side said subconsciously: "Then let women be the biggest sin!"

He regretted it the moment he said this.

Tal directly pushed his top healer against the wall and said viciously, "Is there any difference between finding a man and a woman?"

The healer, who was screaming in pain, struggled to get out and said, "Well, why are you so angry, old man? I'm just curious."

Tal's eyebrows were twitching wildly, and he seemed to be thinking of attacking again, so the healer shut up.

Tal looked at Louis and said, "So you understand? From the beginning, only jealousy meets our needs."

"So you developed the great sin of jealousy?"

“It can be considered as training.”

"Is it?"

Louis tasted it and found this description to be quite interesting.

Tal did not hide it and said directly: "We did succeed in making one of the artificially cultivated beings a vessel for the great sin of jealousy, but he lost control."

"That is a completely irrational, uncontrollable artificial being."

"In order to protect the precious experimental results, we spent a lot of effort to train him for several years, from 25 years ago to 13 years ago."

"But we couldn't stop jealousy from self-destructing, no matter what we did."

"His body was not immune to the great sin of jealousy."

"So 13 years ago, the dying jealousy went berserk under the guidance of the Abyss Church's spies."

Everyone was stunned.

Beatrice, in particular, was surprised and asked, "The [Death Sacrifice] that Demia Jean prevented?"

Louis thought about it for a while, and soon found the relevant materials about [Death Sacrifice] in his memory bank.

He had seen this part of the document when he was investigating Huoguo's past and present life and learned that he came from a village in the empire that was subjected to blood sacrifice by the Church of the Abyss.

At that time, the imperial documents gave examples of sacrifices initiated by the Church of the Abyss in various countries and regions in recent years.

This includes Roxy's [Death Sacrifice].

In this battle, the mainstay of the Zeon family, the Infernal Dragon King Demia Zeon, was killed, and the entire outer circle of the Rockhe Imperial City was engulfed in flames.

Tal said quietly, "In that battle, the Gene family lost their strongest demigod. Before his death, the demigod chose a young man named Cain Gene to inherit his cursed blood and become the next generation seed of the family."

Louis just felt that the world was very big and very small at the same time.

He never expected that the little dragon king Kane, whom he had treated before, was also one of the follow-up effects of the Great Sin: Jealousy Rampage incident.

Tal sighed deeply and said, "After this incident, we realized that we can't let jealousy continue like this."

"We chose to kill Envy and terminate the experiment."

"But now there is a very fatal problem... Do you know that after a Great Sin kills another Great Sin, he can not only directly obtain the other party's power through mutual devouring, but also directly obtain the Great Sin authority skills that the other party has already condensed?"

Louis' pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in astonishment:

"you mean……"

Tal nodded and said, "The authority skills of the criminal subjects we killed back then were..."

"First, as time goes by, the Bite of Envy can temporarily rob others of their skills and strength. People marked by the Bite of Envy will continue to lose their memories and strength over time. If they are not defeated quickly and are defeated instead, they will permanently lose some of their skills and strength."

With a bang.

There was a loud explosion in the room.

Kino's eyes turned red and he took several deep breaths to suppress his anger.

This situation is exactly the same as what the master encountered.

Tal didn't say anything, just sighed and continued, "Second, the jealous hunters can directly obtain most of the abilities of other creatures' corpses by gnawing on them."

Louis narrowed his eyes, thinking of the Lord of Rage who had been completely devoured.

"Third, for those with a higher professional level than him, he can enhance his jealousy in all aspects and angles."

Louis was thoughtful.

The abilities of this sin, jealousy, are so extreme.

He felt that it existed solely for killing.

This series of skills is designed entirely to kill opponents and plunder others' power.

Therein lies a crucial question...

Louis looked at Tal and said, "Your Majesty, if what you said is true, you mean that the power of the current sin, Envy, is likely to be the same as that of the experimental subject Envy that you killed back then?"

Tal nodded and said, "In theory, the body of Sin Envy should have been destroyed by us, but the ability he possessed appeared in someone else."

"The biggest possibility is that he is the great sin cultivated by the Church of the Abyss, the great sin that has yet to be born: lust.

And there may be a traitor among us, who has preserved the corpse of the great sin of jealousy and let the great sin of lust devour it. "

Louis nodded subconsciously, this reasoning was very reasonable.

Half a second later...

"wrong!"

Louis responded, coughed and said, "Just a friendly reminder, he definitely can't be the Great Sin·Lust."

"Um?"

When everyone present heard Louis' words, they subconsciously looked at him, with a strange light flashing in their eyes.

Louis remained calm and said, "No kidding, lust is in our camp."

Tal's expression became more subtle as he recalled the huge explosion outside the imperial capital.

That destructive power is undoubtedly at the level of a demigod.

Roxy has already sent someone to check the scene.

In the devastated area that had become the mouth of the abyss, the aura of different sins lingered.

It was obvious that the person who took action was this imperial prince.

He forced a smile and said, "It seems that the Prince of Enther is more powerful than any of us imagined."

Louis narrowed his eyes and said, "If you are not strong enough, how can you protect our princess?"

"Indeed, it seems that the Regent is more accurate in judging people than we thought."

But what Tal didn't notice was that when Louis said "Protect our princess", his eyes were looking at Beatrice beside him... and Olivia, the sister-in-law hiding behind his first wife.

Olivia spat in her heart.

This guy is so indecent among so many people.

Louis was fearless.

Protecting my princess doesn't mean protecting only my first wife (End of this chapter)
