The demons that kept pouring out and the cursed legions were fighting each other, but Louis never stopped the attack of the Wanhua Sword Pill in his hand.

But there are more demons than just this.

East, west, south, north and center, they are like leeks, they grow again after being cut.

Perhaps it was because the demigod lord had almost no power to resist and was killed by him, the abyss stopped sending demigods towards him.

The most that can be done is to let some demigod lords launch attacks from a long distance.

Get closer? It's impossible to get closer.

Especially after Louis discovered that after infusing magic power into the Wanhua Sword Pill, he was able to activate the original Brave Sword's enhanced effects to the maximum, they would be even less likely to come.

The sword of the brave who slew evil made the demon's physical defense a joke to a large extent.

This is especially true after the nuclear explosion surgery.

It’s not a lie that every strike is a critical hit.

Gradually, he seemed to understand why the emperor couldn't stand up.

The actual controllers of the Star Continent are obviously those demigod creatures who are almost a different species from normal races.

In Louis's past understanding, the emperor was the best among them.

He even suspected that this old Deng, who was said to have devoured most of the Dark Goddess's inheritance, might be the strongest person in the history of the Star Continent.

The whole world is a shackle that binds him, forcing him to fight at the level of a demigod.

But that was just a fight with the races on the Star Continent.

When competing directly with other worlds, even an emperor would understand the difference between the rivers and lakes and the battlefield.

Although the demons who were driven here from the poisonous insect farms in the abyss were still as weak as chickens and dogs under the Emperor's hands, he finally experienced the feeling of cutting flesh with a slow knife: "the blade will become blunt and the man will become exhausted."

Just like now, continuous fighting has made Louis' perception of time gradually blurred.

Even if they are ordinary demons, you will get tired of it after killing 1,000 of them, and you will gradually become numb after killing 10,000 of them.

Even if the work intensity in an assembly line processing plant is reduced and employees are given full safety training, the mental damage to people is still greater than physical harm.

The mental numbness brought about by endlessly repetitive work will make you gradually lose your perception of "change" and cause you to become extremely bored with life.

Then life became hopeless.

Fortunately, the emperor suddenly spoke up: "Don't kill them, you can't kill all the locusts."

Louis stopped what he was doing, looked at the snake demon whose head he had chopped off by the horns, shook his head and said, "Is this how you fight these mad dogs day after day?"

Too many, really too many.

Even though this was not the first time he had seen a battle to guard a space channel, he was still surprised by the battle at the Gate of the Abyss.

This is no longer a simple win or loss.

The largest abyss gate on the Star Continent is like a two-way open hole. In theory, both sides can send combat power to the other side, but in reality, the weaker side will be dragged into the quagmire of logistics.

Fortunately, the person sitting here is a historical strongman, otherwise this door would have been breached long ago.

Because this battle was asymmetrical from the beginning.

In terms of high-level combat effectiveness, the four gods of the abyss joined forces, even if their strength would drop drastically after dimensionality reduction, they would still be able to restrict the emperor.

But the gap in combat effectiveness between the middle and low levels is not a little bit.

A very realistic problem is that Enser is just a country after all and cannot represent the world itself.

What Louis and his team need to face are the majority of the abyss evil gods, abyss lords and the vast ocean of demons that are swept away by the will of the abyss.

It is true that “you can never kill all the demons”.

Louis seriously suspected that the number of demons he had killed in his battle with the Cursed Legion so far was far less than the number of demons naturally born in the abyss in recent days.

They are not even on the same order of magnitude.

These demons will even fight with races from other worlds on the battlefields in the rear, absorbing the power of other races to grow.

The grown-up demon will quickly rush into a new battlefield, and the cycle will repeat until all the opponents are crushed.

"How long have I been fighting, Your Majesty." Louis raised his head and looked at the sky.

A voice came from the sky: "Seven days."

It's only been a week? Louis smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

"You have grown much faster than I thought." The Emperor's voice was filled with a hint of relief. "Thanks to you, I can finally take a break."

Louis nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll be stronger next time and it will be easier for you."

The emperor chuckled. "Then you must hurry up. I don't have much time left."

"good."

"How is the awakening of the power of sin?"

"I have absorbed a lot, but maybe because I am still fighting, the awakening of the great sin will be delayed a little bit."

"It's okay, don't worry. This place lacks everything except demons."

Diana, who was riding a broom in the sky, looked down quietly and said, "Is it okay for him to quickly absorb the source of the sin this way?"

"No problem. He is far from the point where he needs to worry about being retaliated by his sins."

"It's really strange. According to his current condition, he shouldn't be able to bear so many sins."

The Emperor chuckled and said, "Of course not under normal circumstances, but it's one thing to have someone to help him share the burden."

"Anyone to share the burden?"

"Do you know why the strongest of the Seven Deadly Sins can only absorb four?"

"Because of the occupation level?"

"Yes, the professional levels that can be upgraded in the Star Continent are only the first four levels, namely, Extraordinary, Exemplary, Legendary, and Demigod. Each level can only accommodate one Great Sin.

Theoretically, Louis' current occupation level can only accommodate two deadly sins, but since he became a transcendent, he has had two deadly sins coexisting in his body."

"Nothing comes without a reason. That child was able to bear two major sins right from the start. Either he had already paid some unknown price, or..."

The Emperor smiled and said, "Someone paid the price for him, just like his authority over the Book of the Dead."

The Cursed Legion is a legion born under the influence of a composite type of authority. The source of their increased combat power is the extension of the authority of Sin and Wrath, and the source of their resurrection ability is the authority of the Mad King's Book of the Dead.

The combination of these two powers eventually formed the current Cursed Legion.

But in fact, the Emperor had already come into contact with the power of the Book of the Dead.

This source of authority is part of the power that governs the shadow plane and gives the dead the characteristics of shadow creatures.

It can be said that if the Emperor chooses to accept this authority, then there is nothing to say, he will fall directly into the abyss and become the god of shadow and destruction.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

After all, the shadow plane is a collection of negative energy, which is a deadly poison to him who is already overwhelmed.

But... letting this authority slip away was something he could not accept.

He glanced at Louis and said, "This guy, there are people helping him wherever he goes. But it is also because of this that he has the opportunity to embark on that path..."

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, and in an instant, the dream world was in turmoil.

When Louis came to his senses again, he had left his original place and came to a royal court.

"Where is this?" He looked around curiously, then looked at the emperor.

"The cage I built for myself," said the Emperor.

"Forehead…!"

Lao Deng is indeed miserable.

It's really tragic that one of the strongest people in history has become like this.

There is a new person in this "cage".

Or to be more precise...my mother-in-law is here.

Boy, what is this for? Mixed doubles?

"Don't worry, I can't hit you yet." Diana said with a smile.

Louis muttered in his heart: "If we can't fight now, does that mean we have to fight later?"

He felt bitter in his heart.

But he immediately changed his angle and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

It doesn’t matter, Olivia will take action.

Oh no, he's going to do it to Olivia!

The little swan is in a miserable state now. Because he did something wrong, he can't even hold his head up in front of Louis.

But she was not at a disadvantage. Louis had a small handle on her, and she also had a big handle on him.

Uh…it was about how I accidentally caught the entire royal family of this generation.

Diana above twitched her lips slightly.

She is not an emperor who "doesn't understand human nature". As a mother, can't she see what Louis is thinking?

"I have decided to take back what I said, 'We can't fight now.'" Diana turned to look at the emperor. The emperor closed his eyes and said nothing, pretending he heard nothing.

Diana smiled with satisfaction and locked Louis up with a [Mental Imprisonment].

Louis immediately felt something was wrong: "Princess! Her Highness Diana... I was wrong!"

"It's no use calling me mom!" Diana dragged Louis, who didn't dare to resist, away.

Louis rolled his eyes and shouted, "Mom, be gentle later, your daughter will be distressed!"

As for whether we feel sorry for Beatrice, Olivia or the Black Swan... you think about it carefully.

Just tell me whether you recognize your daughter or not?

You're right.

After saying this, the mother-in-law finally softened her heart.

The howling coming from an unknown corner sounded more like someone deliberately begging for mercy.

The emperor pretended to know nothing and sat quietly on the golden throne.

In the past, this cold golden throne brought him immense pain, but now he felt it was nice to sit here.

"Diana, stop hitting me. You won't kill me like this."

The sound of the blow in the corner paused for a moment, and then the blow became stronger.

…when…

Louis stood straight in front of the emperor, looking as if nothing had happened.

It would be even better if his legs didn't tremble and his tail didn't hang limply.

"You two continue talking, I have something else to do."

Diana left with a smile on her face, feeling refreshed, leaving behind her father-in-law who was looking at each other in bewilderment and unable to stand up, and Louis who looked like he was going to "keep playing the music".

This scene moved Lao Deng.

It had been a long time since he had thought about punching someone.

"How about you come up and I'll take action too?" the emperor said eagerly.

Louis twisted his mouth and said viciously: "Believe it or not, I will run away now?"

"Can you run away?" The emperor sneered, "If this happened 100 years ago, I would have picked up the chessboard and smashed you to death."

Louis burst into laughter. The emperor must have heard the story of "Enser Chess Master" that he told to Sean and his wife at that time, and used it to scare him! So he said directly: "Your Majesty, are you going to shout, 'There are basic moves, wonderful moves, and common moves in Go. If someone insults the power of the empire, then we will overturn the chessboard and let them see what a black move is'? How could someone kill the Duke's son when he was still the crown prince? Your Majesty, that's just a story I made up."

The emperor said nothing and just smiled silently.

Louis: ...

No, Lao Deng, why are you looking at me and laughing? Quickly deny it! "Ahem~" Someone in the shadows couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Highness Louis, don't say anything you shouldn't say."

Louis: ...

Only then did he realize there was someone in the shadows.

What a terrifying lurking technique.

Judging from their equipment, they should be the guards who have not been out for many years.

As we all know... the Guards are not required to be loyal to the Emperor.

That is something the outer legions need to consider.

The purpose of the Imperial Guard's existence is to serve the emperor.

——That is to say, the person in front of him is the one who knows most of the inside information in the entire imperial city.

“Wow~”

He was not a fool and understood the meaning immediately.

He looked at the emperor awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you know, I wasn't scolding you just now..."

The emperor smiled cruelly: "My good son-in-law, do you have any other last words?"

"Do you think I still have a chance?"

"Are you kidding me?"

…afterwards…

Louis said that he was indeed very important to the empire.

I didn’t see Lao Deng that angry, he just...beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.

Small problems, all small problems! Louis said that he just wanted to try out the healing magic he learned from the little swan when he made her cry.

It’s just that it was used to treat my wife and sister-in-law before, but now it is used to treat myself.

"Okay, stop being so naughty." The Emperor looked at Louis and said, "There is something wrong with that cardinal sin, jealousy. I suggest you take some time to investigate it."

"Of course there is a problem. He is an enemy." Louis said without hesitation, "Give me another chance, I will find a way to blow him up."

The Emperor shook his head and said, "That's not the problem. Your rage started from scratch based on your needs, but a considerable portion of the power of Sin: Rage is still with Envy. Don't you realize that?"

Louis frowned, vaguely sensing something was wrong.

The Emperor said: "Do you think it was you who first absorbed the power of the King of Wrath indirectly through the power of the Book of the Dead, or did the Great Sin of Envy absorb the power of the King of Wrath first?"

Louis hesitated and said, "Logically, I should go first. After all, the corpse of the Wrathful King will be eaten later."

But the emperor said: "But don't forget, given the situation of the Troll Tribe, except for the most turbulent times, there was no way to maintain internal order. How could a mere Jealousy, whose strength had not yet been improved, cross the defense line of the Troll Tribe?"

Louis sighed and said, "You are right, but what does that prove?"

The Emperor smiled strangely and said, "Louis, from the existence of your sympathy, it can be seen that the Wrathful King has voluntarily given up himself and accepted your sympathy.

But there is a sequence for the feasting together. If you are first, it means that the Wrathful King fully supports you in eradicating the cancer of the Giant Plains and is willing to sacrifice his life for it.

But if you hadn't been the first... the object that the Wrathful King offered himself to feast on might not have been you, but the jealousy hidden in the Troll Tribe at that time."

Louis paused for a moment, and a cold sweat broke out on his face.
