Chapter 871: Chapter 446: Seven Deadly Sins? No, Seven Virtues_2
Even up in the sky, Old Deng was there keeping an eye out.
Sure enough, just after taking down a Divine Realm, he felt a bit affected.
But it wasn’t a big issue.
Because Olivia hesitated a moment and looked at Sister Wang.
Beatrice rolled her eyes and said:
"Why are you looking at me, just say what you want to say."
Olivia awkwardly held back, not speaking immediately.
But after a moment of silence, she still whispered:
"Activate the Great Sin of Lust. Compared to the other sins, that’s the easiest to satisfy right now."
Louis pinched his brow and looked at Beatrice.
Beatrice replied helplessly:
"Why are you both looking at me? This is your decision."
"But you’re my wife/sister!"
The two of them said in unison.
Beatrice gave a light snort.
Now you say this, where were you before?
But she was just a little annoyed.
Perhaps because she was pregnant, she felt her emotions intensify more than before.
But she could still control it.
This was an essential quality of being an empress.
So, although she was a bit sour, she still said:
"The priority is to digest the pollution from the Abyssal Blood War."
She looked at Louis with a half-smile and said:
"After all, I’m currently unable to ’resolve his worries’ for him."
Louis awkwardly didn’t respond, but simply leaned in and whispered in her ear:
"I’m sorry for this matter, so my wife also needs to get healthy soon, or else just watching you is frustrating."
Olivia stood there dumbfounded and muttered:
"Mouth? How do you use a mouth?"
Beatrice glanced irritably at Olivia and knocked her on the head.
"Ouch!"
"Now you know it hurts, huh! If you have any questions, go ask your brother-in-law yourself."
"Okay."
Swans are often silly.
This matter was brushed over like that.
They left the Gate of the Abyss.
That night, demons howled.
Within the Imperial Palace, swans called.
Anyway, it was a complete mess.
Perhaps because he had absorbed too much at once, Louis clearly felt he had hit the bottleneck of Demigod.
According to his calculations, the accumulation from this Abyssal Blood War should suffice for him to break through to Divine Realm.
But as he practiced, he suddenly realized something was off.
The fate line of the Crown of Spiritual Desires became unprecedentedly clear.
So clear that Louis could perceptibly sense that invisible thread connecting to his daughter.
In an instant, the gains from the Abyssal Blood War started rapidly pouring into his daughter’s body.
Soon after, this power spread out like a spiderweb.
Connecting to the line on Beatrice.
Connecting to the line on Olivia.
Connecting to the line on Ais.
Connecting to the line on Alice.
He realized he could control the distribution of the residual effects of the Abyssal Blood War.
He didn’t even need to worry about the issue of abyssal pollution.
Because...
He looked down at the little swan, gasping for air, looking as if she would faint any moment.
Who would’ve thought that fully emptying oneself of distractions would have such benefits?
No.
Soon, Louis understood that he must have triggered some sort of hidden mechanism.
The conditions for the Great Sin of Lust are not easily satisfied.
Even with Olivia’s situation, it took a massive number of doppelgangers to ease Louis’s needs.
But this was something only she could achieve.
With her authority-level doppelganger ability, where each doppelganger has immense power, even she was just barely managing. If it were an ordinary person...
No matter how crazy past Great Sins of Lust have been, they surely wouldn’t just randomly find any woman.
And the eruption of lust is so intense that, bluntly speaking, just choosing a partner that can endure it is a hassle.
And powerful beauties are only possessed by even stronger powerhouses.
It’s a deadlock.
Normally, it’s just a matter of getting killed.
That history could even produce an operation that ripped the micro-world of the Great Sin of Lust away from the Star Continent to exile it to space. Louis doubted the thought processes of the strong from that era.
Uh.
Well, it’s hard to say.
If many of the strongmen of that era were insiders, for instance, directly lovers of the Great Sin of Lust at some point, maybe they really could force someone out.
It’s safe to say, Louis now being able to meet his needs is thanks to the meticulous effort of the little swan.
Perhaps because of this, he unintentionally triggered some mechanism related to lust.
That being the recognition of Pure Love.
After all, no matter how many doppelgangers the little swan spawns, in the end, it still counts as just one of her.
So maybe from the perspective of the sin authority, although it happened over a hundred times and even involved stopping time, there was, in reality, just one partner.
What if this is its own form of pure love?
Nanban.
Thanks to this, he felt the fate line of the Crown of Spiritual Desires becoming even stronger and more robust.
Including the pollution from the accumulation of the Abyssal Blood War, all of it was purified in the process of transmission along the fate line.
What is going on?
Louis could only think of a change brought about by a certain authority ability.
I Love You.
In fact, ever since this authority ability appeared, the effects it displayed have been uniquely vague.
The only explanation is this straightforwardly crude.
The intensely rising affection will warp reality, creating miracles.
Unlike any other authority ability he had seen before.
Whether it was Greed, Wrath, or any Lust ability, all of them leaned heavily towards the properties of the Great Sin’s power itself.
Except for I Love You...
It unabashedly dropped even the ’lust’ part.
This was also why Louis previously thought that the harmonious and inclusive authority state created by the Love and Lust twins was already initially realized in him.
This authority ability might be less of a Great Sin of Lust, more of a...
Virtue of Chastity.
A special force driven by virtue, entirely detached from the original scope of the Great Sin.
The traits displayed now directly enhance various methods of his.
He somewhat suspected the core effect of I Love You was to amplify the upper limit of other sin authority abilities.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why an already outrageous fate line continued to increase at an alarming rate.
It could now even directly transfer the accumulation from the Abyssal Blood War to his beloved.
Between strengthening himself and his beloved, Louis had no hesitation choosing to strengthen his beloved.
Breaking through Demigod isn’t an absolute necessity for him,
The power available at the Demigod stage, without further evolution to a higher stage, isn’t as useful for Louis.
The situation now is that it only takes a slight effort for Louis to reach the peak of Demigod, and with just a bit more effort, he is in another dimension of power.
In comparison, the safety of his loved ones and daughter is more important than anything.
"I see, compared to self-benefit, the tendency towards altruism is the key to converting sin into virtue?"
The Seven Great Sins... To mitigate the side effects of the sins, it’s necessary to find a way to convert part of the authority ability into the corresponding Seven Virtues?
Louis mused thoughtfully.
But soon, he was distracted by something else.
The little swan, previously unconscious, suddenly lifted her head in panic and said incredulously:
"Louis, my profession level suddenly increased. Is my Great Sin about to go berserk?"
Louis rolled his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Do you think your current behavior has anything to do with Sloth?"
Olivia replied without hesitation:
"Of course not, I’m exhausted every day now."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Olivia raised her head in confusion, then saw Louis’s half-smile.
Moments later, she said helplessly:
"Was this also part of your plan?"
"To suppress the authority of Sloth, the best method is to keep you busy, regardless of the means used, and for you and me, there just happens to be a way that can complete each other."
Indeed.
The doppelganger ability of Sloth’s authority likely originates from the little swan’s early lazy disposition.
Handing over everything she unwillingly confronted to the doppelgangers was the essence of sloth.
But now, Louis forged a different path, turning the doppelgangers into a source of busyness.
Perhaps the little swan hadn’t noticed, but Beatrice, knowing their relationship, had more or less guessed.
Because she had asked Ais, and Ais said that Louis was relatively moderate.
Although not a lot, it shouldn’t have been so demanding for Olivia.
Unless... this behavior was actually beneficial for the little swan.
