Chapter 872: Chapter 447: Kind of Want to Restart Life—What Am I Even Living For?
The Little Swan and her little friends were all stunned.
Is this even possible?
Louis, oh Louis, wanting the grass so badly, and coming up with such gentlemanly excuses is just really...
"I absolutely love it."
The Little Swan was busy redefining her boundaries.
What are boundaries?
No idea!
Faced with choosing between working hard without rest and enjoying a nice rest, the Little Swan didn’t hesitate to choose the latter.
She’d seen the consequences of no rest, the experiences of the Black Swan over the years were a testament to that.
If that’s the case, it’s better to find a way to support Louis, maybe even help him directly connect and take over!
However, she still wanted to say:
"Your power manipulation skills are just too unfair."
Sin powers were already endlessly useful, yet you can further strengthen this power?
Wait.
Thinking of it this way, this method of "I love you"...
"Why does it feel like it complements the coronation of pure desire?"
"The coronation of pure desire should be a transitional power, slowly transitioning from the sin of lust to the virtue of chastity, this process doesn’t happen overnight, so maybe the coronation of pure desire does indeed hold some virtue of chastity’s power?"
Louis hesitantly offered his speculation.
A moment later, he said softly:
"Perhaps we could visit the Pope of Glory sometime?"
"Hmm?"
"I suspect he may be close to transforming the sin of gluttony into the seven virtues."
Olivia thought for a moment.
She felt that it was indeed possible.
It’s quite strange for pure sin to act as the Pope of the Church of Glory and Justice.
Every faction has its share of stubborn old guards.
If it were that easy to convince them, they wouldn’t be called stubborn.
If it were easy to rise to power, there must be something fishy involved.
Even if the Church of Glory’s internal harmony were great, internal factions still had to compete.
The sin identity was naturally a black mark.
There’s no reason why it wouldn’t be used to one’s advantage.
Unless... this natural black mark could be cleansed.
So now, seeing the birth of power opposing the seven deadly sins, Louis suspected the Pope of Gluttony might have completed his transformation.
If that’s the case, it might be worth considering communicating with him.
Who knows, maybe some useful information could be gained?
Of course, none of this matters now.
What’s most important now is Beatrice’s safety.
Everyone glanced at Beatrice, who had only been here for a short while and was already starting to look tired.
"Beatrice, are you tired?"
Ais supported her.
Beatrice shook her head and said:
"No, my body doesn’t feel fatigued, but for some reason, I’m incredibly sleepy."
How could a demigod body feel tired from such small movements?
At that moment, a resigned female voice sounded:
"What you need to do now is hurry back to your chambers to rest. Even though the power of sin allows you to provide strength through the abyssal blood battle for your unborn child, it still requires your mental strength as support."
In the sky, a witch sat quietly on a magic staff, observing the group.
The three women froze in place.
Louis revealed an awkward yet nuanced smile.
Oh no, the mother-in-law’s here.
Princess Consort Diana descended from the sky.
As she landed before the group, Louis cautiously asked:
"Mom, why have you come?"
The Princess Consort who initially had something to say stumbled, giving Louis an annoyed glance.
"I originally didn’t want to meet with you, but the situation doesn’t allow it."
She looked at Beatrice seriously and said:
"The abyssal blood battle is part of the deep abyss’s system cycle rules, usually borne directly by the abyss, but those with the power of sin have stolen this portion of power.
This allows you to continue using this means independently of the abyss.
But this time, the person who’s burdened with the energy consumption turned out to be yourself."
Beatrice’s eyes shimmered.
The Princess Consort’s words weren’t meant to be listened to carefully at this moment.
After so long without seeing her mother, the joy from the reunion made her want to embrace that person.
But the empress’s dignity and rational mind restrained her impulse to hold her mother’s reflection.
"It’s been a long time."
She said softly.
The Princess Consort quietly looked at this girl, momentarily feeling a bit dazed:
"Beatrice, you’ve grown more since previous years."
"Yes, because I am now a mother too."
Beatrice showed a happy smile.
Quickly, she remembered something, turned around, and glared at Louis.
Louis coughed, too embarrassed to speak.
Louis and his group were not the first to find the great treasure.
Before them, a girl had ventured into the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.
That was Beatrice.
But the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm was too dangerous for her.
Within her lay the survival means left by the emperor.
Yet, spending too much time in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm would render this precious means ineffective.
She was always calm, ultimately suppressing her desire to meet that person.
Her mother’s lucid time was limited.
Leaving those times for Olivia might be better.
The Princess Consort Diana gently caressed Beatrice, though she felt somewhat embarrassed, but...
In the end, she did not refuse.
"Though the abyssal blood battle’s influence has greatly reduced due to the filtering effects of the power of sin, don’t be careless; go home and rest well... he’ll pay more attention to this."
Clearly, the emperor was the one the Princess Consort referred to.
