Louis doesn't usually get excited.
Unless you can't help it.
The Cardinal Sin, Envy, was the most disgusting opponent he had ever encountered.
The double sin of body and soul made him almost flawless.
If you want to defeat him, there is basically only one way left -
That is to crush the opponent with absolute advantage.
In fact, Louis could reasonably suspect that if Sin Jealousy had not obtained half of the power of wrath before devouring the body of the King of Wrath, Sin Jealousy would be more difficult to deal with now.
But even if only a small part of his strength was taken away by jealousy, he was still the most enduring opponent Louis had ever seen.
Even when Helmer himself came down to kill him, he still couldn't die completely.
But not now.
Louis couldn't help but let out a cruel smile.
The power of wrath was divided into two parts and held by different people respectively. This did not conform to the law of power transfer inferred by Roxy. This was very reasonable.
Because the situation at the time of the rage was very special.
Firstly, in order to save the troll tribe that was on the verge of collapse, the Wrathful King chose to share his flesh and blood with the generals and soldiers, thus diluting his power. However, due to his special body, he did not die immediately.
Secondly, during the war, the Wrathful King finally lost his life, which was equivalent to a natural death, rather than being killed directly. When there was still a considerable amount of power left in the hands of the Troll Suicide Squad, it was impossible to directly determine the successor to the power.
Thirdly, if Louis's previous guess about Ellihild was correct, then the Wrathful King might have developed selfish motives at the end of his life.
——There is no one who does not want his or her country to live a better life, nor does anyone want a powerful force like Sin and Fury to be controlled by other countries.
At the last moment of his life, Envy, the Great Sin, only needed to disguise himself as an elite troll beside the King of Wrath and tell Wrath that "I am also a great sin". This would very likely have shaken the sacrificed nameless king.
Rather than giving Louis authority over sin, he would rather give it to jealousy.
After all, Jealousy was still in the guise of a troll at the time.
Louis even suspected that the news of the Wrathful King's death might be a disguise.
If you think about it carefully, there is a time difference between the time he inherited part of the power of Wrath and the time of death of the King of Wrath that he knew.
However, he was seriously injured at the time and was still practicing cursive calligraphy on the bed sheets with the little swan disguised as a black swan, so he had no way to verify the news.
Therefore, it is possible that the King of Wrath forged the certificate of his own death, and then reawakened himself from the fake death after the funeral, and transferred his power to Envy to the greatest extent possible through the method of feasting together.
Of course, all these speculations vanished with the fall of the Wrathful King.
Louis inherited the power of the legion from the Wrathful King.
And Envy inherited the physical enhancement power of Sin's Rage.
Judging from personal survival ability alone, Jealousy is indeed more capable of survival than Louis.
But that’s in the past.
Now… he used the rules as a sharp sword to take back everything that had gone mad.
One of the major sins and powers of wrath, [Blood Rage Armor].
Effect: Unleash the limits of bloodline power and continue to surpass the limits over time.
Louis was numb when he saw this effect.
What a simple and crude power skill this is.
Just from this one thing, he understood why the other party was so difficult to kill.
Just the known bloodline, the other party has obtained——
The body of an extremely cold giant elephant with a huge blood bar (the bloodline of the son of the Honorable Emperor Roxy).
The body of the Purgatory Dragon (the second generation of the deadly sin) that controls both the soul and the body.
The body of the ever-changing, extremely difficult to kill red phosphorus sand snake (Ruth from the three-person reconnaissance team) and the body of a troll that regenerates at an extremely fast speed (the King of Rage).
The body of a mermaid who is a natural water magician (Mermaid Princess Ellihild).
Even during this period, we cannot guarantee how many races’ bloodlines have been absorbed.
This method comes entirely from the special power of jealousy, a great sin.
You must know that top-notch bloodline will directly change the essence of the soul.
The soul born in the dragon's body will have obvious effects even if it enters the body of an ordinary person.
Coupled with Jealousy's ability to learn authority-level skills like greed, it is even possible that most of the methods will be carried over to the next body.
This special feature, when catalyzed by the [Rage Blood Armor] which is also of the authority level, is an explosive increase.
Even Louis couldn't get close to or surpass the other in this regard.
but……
Grace, who was standing next to Louis, looked at him calmly and said:
"Is this generation of Rage's main route to strengthening bloodline?"
Louis nodded.
Grace said innocently, "We can consider implanting a bunch of blood pendants like the Roxy people did, and then use the power of authority to activate them. After all, we helped them a lot this time, so they are willing to agree to this."
Louis glanced at Grace and said, "They can tolerate one bloodline, but they will never agree to thirteen. This means handing over the foundation of Roxy."
"It doesn't matter. We can let our church suppress them together."
Louis: ...
You know what, kid? You're not a saint at all when you say this.
——But it’s quite what Louis wants.
He had no intention of changing his bloodline, but if he could enjoy the benefits of his bloodline without changing it, that would be another matter.
That's right, he is playing double standards.
After seeing the effect of the Blood Rage Armor, he finally understood why the other party started from the Rockxi Empire first.
Roxy's cursed swordsman system is a natural fit for this power.
Every bloodline has the opportunity to lead to the path of becoming a top demigod.
As a joke, Lord Kulin's Star-piercing Sword, which could directly cut through matter at the molecular level, only pierced through the armor of the Blood Rage Armor, leaving little damage when it hit Envy, the Great Sin, who was not yet a Legendary Person and had not mastered special rules at the time.
The defense of the Blood Rage Armor mostly comes from the bloodline bonus.
That is to say, relying solely on the pure blood feedback, Jealousy was able to withstand the cutting rules of the legendary armor-piercing talent with his pure physical body.
That is the blessing of pure blood!
But...if it's Thirteen.
No, no, no, it is impossible for the Thirteen Families. If they can give two more families bloodline potions, or even just gather enough bloodline potions to protect the Shiwu Family, his life essence can be boosted.
I'm afraid Olivia will have to suffer in the future.
After all, the first wife and the others can't hold on.
He glanced at Grace again.
But, Grace, what's wrong with you?
Knowing that I have obtained the authority over mortal sins, not only are you not afraid, but you also actively seek out the church to fight for benefits for me?
The church is not stupid, how could they agree just because you said so? Using the church's favor to fulfill your own interests, isn't this a kind of NTR?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Ten minutes later.
Grace came back lightly.
Louis looked at her absent-minded look, smiled and said, "I knew it was impossible, right? There's no need to ask."
"The Cardinal said that His Majesty has allowed the church to use all available conditions to help you get the bloodline potion from the Thirteen Families as much as possible."
Louis: ...
No, brother, are the top leaders of your church really ok in their brains?
Louis was shocked.
He felt that he didn't have a close relationship with the Church of the God of Glory and Justice, right? Why would the other party do this?
In other words, aren't they afraid of being blamed by their own gods? Oh no, the Lord of Glory might even think it doesn't matter.
After all, no one minds accepting a serious sin as the Pope.
But he had to admit that after hearing the cardinal's promise, he felt a little more expectant.
Of course, the blessing of Sin and Fury is not limited to the Blood Rage Armor.
Effect: If there is still anger in your heart, your strength will be doubled and you will gain super-speed regeneration. When the anger is too strong, you can actively stimulate the furious body to further increase your strength. The increase ratio is related to the degree of anger.
Oh my god, I have the Hulk talent, what the hell is this?
But anyway, it works and is easy to use.
Moreover, this is a normal ability, which is a means to directly raise his upper and lower limits.
This simple and straightforward method is quite friendly to him now.
At least you can get started quickly.
He looked at the cardinal with a sharper look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Does the Church of the God of Glory and Justice really intend to get involved in this matter?"
Bishop Savalan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now that the seven disasters are erupting one after another, among those who can stand firmly in the Order camp, you are the most likely to improve your strength in a short period of time."
Louis was silent.
"Do you know anything about the coming of the God of Glory and Justice?"
Although he used a question mark, his expression was extremely affirmative.
The cardinal said with a smile: "God has always known you and approves of the actions you have taken."
"I have never had any dealings with your church."
"Do I have to deal with you to get to know you?"
"Don't you need it?"
"Do you need it?"
"I think I need it."
“But only those who are moving towards the same ideal on different paths can be considered fellow travelers, right?”
Bishop Savaran had a gentle smile on his face.
To be honest, Louis hated this kind of smile.
He was so kind that sometimes it was easy for Louis to let down his guard and believe that the other person was really there.
But he has always been a cautious person and it is impossible for him to trust the Glory Church just because of this.
"What's the reason? You're not going to tell me that you guys want to give me such a big gift for no reason, not just for this?"
Savaran hummed softly, "Come to the Glory Church sometime. God said that you are firmly on our side. One day you will understand."
Louis: ...
There are so many riddlers in this world, it’s so annoying.
…but they gave too much.
Let the Riddler be the Riddler.
At least there's no malice in sight now.
After all, he also mastered the power of the divine realm, and it was difficult for Savalan to hide his inner thoughts from him.
After basically confirming that there was not much conspiracy, he had no reason to give up the benefits that were within his grasp.
"Where are Monet's mages? Let them act quickly. The next time they fight head-on, it will be the end of jealousy."
Savaran said: "You have to pay attention to the situation on your side, after all... you can't kill jealousy."
Louis sighed.
Unexpectedly, this matter was also discovered by Savalan.
"You really have a deep understanding of the great sin."
"After all, we have a Pope of Sin."
"Just the existence of that adult is not enough to explain all this."
"Anyway, His Majesty asked us to remind you that anyone can kill the Sin, except you."
"You don't need to emphasize this to me."
Louis shook his head.
The advice given by the other party is correct.
Louis's situation was special, and in his current state, it was impossible for him to take action against a major crime.
It wasn't that he really had no way to deal with jealousy just now, he was just restricted.
After all, Mentor Merlin once told him that even a demigod could only bear four deadly sins.
Legendary can only carry 3.
In other words, theoretically, Louis can only bear three now . But what about now?
Big sin: Lust.
The crystallization of the great sin of greed + the temptation to corrupt a country [Book of Greed].
Big sin: wrath.
Right now, Louis has three kinds of authority.
He actually had doubts a long time ago.
Why was the great sin of lust always suppressed by the great sin of greed, but suddenly erupted after the battle in the Giant Plains?
Later, he learned from his mentor Merlin about the fate of the last Elf King, and he seemed to have realized something.
Perhaps it was because he absorbed some of the authority of wrath, exceeding the upper limit of the original model level, that the great sin of lust became uncontrollable.
Fortunately, that is only partial authority.
If all power were inherited by himself at the same time, even his body, which had been blessed by thousands of mechanisms, might not be able to withstand it.
Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have been harmed by the power of sin.
Fortunately, he is already a legend now, so it is not a problem for him to complete the authority of the great sin.
But jealous...
The existence of jealousy is a big problem.
Arrogant emperor.
The Pope of Gluttony.
Lazy sister-in-law.
These three people are from this camp, there is no way we will fight with them, let alone kill them directly.
The only person Louis must kill is Jealousy.
But once he is killed, the power of jealousy will be transferred to Louis.
By that time, I'm afraid that Louis will have problems himself without anyone else having to do anything.
It is for this reason that he must first separate the power of wrath from jealousy.
Without lowering the upper and lower limits of jealousy itself, it would be too difficult for others to deal with him.
Fortunately, now he has finally been weakened to the extent that the top demigods can pose a fatal threat to him.
Oh, without the blessing of wrathful authority, the mere superposition of blood would be a burden to jealousy.
Because of jealousy, the means of replicating other people's power are most likely to be greatly limited.
If one copies the power of others but does not receive enough in return, it is a kind of weakening for him.
And now, he needs to start learning again how to exert the power of his bloodline.
Thinking of this, Louis's lips curled up into a smile.
Judging from the time, that idiot should be here by now.
That evening.
When Grace went to Louis' tent to inquire about the specific arrangements for tomorrow, a text message was sent directly to Louis' communication crystal.
Olivia: "Louis, I'm here."
Unconsciously, Louis's lips curled up into a gentle smile.
He stood up and walked out of the tent, only to see a petite figure walking towards him under the moonlight.
"Louis, here I come."
