Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 608 - 325: The Demon’s Trail, Jino and Kulin Attacked?_2
Kulin actually understood what Neo meant, but he still said, "I know that for you Curse Swordsmen, there's nothing you believe you can't achieve, thinking that human potential can surpass everything..."
"That's why I said, what about the great sins? If we don't compare, who would know?" Neo said calmly.
The Lokeshi people don't believe in gods, much less think that those who have gained authority and embarked on the Path of Godhood are above themselves.
After all, five out of the thirteen families have acquired sustainable inherited authority through human means.
Compared to the unstable and extremely dangerous authority of the great sins, it isn't as noble.
But Kulin doesn't think so.
He gave Neo a peculiar look, "When you fight that brat, you'll understand."
"I just think you regard those who have embarked on the Path of Godhood too sanctimoniously."
Kulin shook his head again, "I actually understand what you mean, you want to say something like man's triumph over heaven, but subconsciously you consider the great sins as the lucky ones."
"Isn't it?"
"How could it be..." Suddenly, a strange laugh came from behind Kulin.
Neo looked at the middle-aged man, "And you are...?"
"I am the Jino you were just talking about." Jino nodded in acknowledgment and then said, "Only those who don't understand the great sins would think that the birth of an inheritor is lucky."
Neo didn't deny it but only said, "What insights do you have?"
Jino sighed and said, "Do you know that the authority of the great sins can be transferred?"
"Hmm?"
"It seems the Extreme Cold Giant Elephant faction hid this from you." Jino shook his head and said, "Historically, the Extreme Cold Giant Elephant once killed an underdeveloped great sin, Envy, and then transferred the authority of the great sin to another person through experiments."
Neo's eyes widened.
This news was something he had never heard before, and he even thought Jino was making it up.
Jino seemed to understand his thoughts and directly said, "I'm not lying to you. This happened in your family's history before the ascension of your generation's Honorable Emperor."
This generation's Lokeshi's Honorable Emperor is the master of the Extreme Cold Giant Elephant.
"And what happened then?"
"Died. The Legendary Strongman who transplanted Envy directly perished."
Neo's expression finally changed, "What was the reason?"
"Unable to withstand the backlash of the great sin's power, he exploded into a mass of flesh and blood." Jino snorted, "You've probably heard about the recent events in the Giant Demon Empire?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"The initial batch of Giant Troll Suicide Squad that became the Curse Binding Legion, do you know why they were so powerful?"
"Weren't they empowered by the aura of the great sin, Wrath?" Neo asked curiously, "I heard they activated their bodies through a Secret Technique and had a limited lifespan."
"It wasn't the Secret Technique that limited their lifespan. They consumed the flesh of the King of Fury, and within that flesh hide the aura of the great sin, Wrath. The extremely dangerous power made it difficult for ordinary people to control, and they ultimately couldn't withstand the power, exploding and dying."
This is something only a few countries know about now.
But one thing is certain, the power of the great sins is something normal people cannot endure.
It's a poison beyond common understanding.
Neo was extraordinarily surprised to hear this:
"You mean it's not that the great sins choose their hosts, but rather only those few hosts can withstand this power?"
Jino nodded and said, "So instead of saying that the hosts of the great sins are powerful, it's better to say they are naturally talented, possessing the ability to control the great sins."
Neo fell silent.
It wasn't becoming a great sin that made one strong, but rather being strong made one a great sin?
If so, then it's understandable why they are evaluated this way.
"This time when I returned, I won't be able to stay long in District 14; there's a situation over at the Fallen Star Sea."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed noticeably.
"Is the information confirmed?"
"It's confirmed, but it hasn't been released publicly yet."
"Troublesome... Louis's prediction that a change might occur at the Pirate Islands has come true."
Everyone felt a chill down their spines.
Now, Louis's status is different. A lot of the information he previously disclosed was unreliable.
But now, even if he spoke nonsense, there would be some who believed it and went to verify his words.
District 14 was here to investigate matters related to the Abyssal Church's branch at the Fallen Star Sea.
But Louis said that merchants from the Mayer Commerce Association saw signs of activity by dozens of infernal demons in the Fallen Star Sea, and it was President Mayer who relayed this to him.
Then Louis started having a portion of Ense's intelligence personnel investigate the situation around the Fallen Star Sea.
In fact, it wasn't just Ense.
To prevent a possible raid by demons from across the pathway of the Pirate Islands, this matter has been circulating among the high levels of coastal countries at the Fallen Star Sea.
Ense, Lokeshi, Tunisia, Dragon Empire, Supreme Forest, Furnace Castle...
Don't ask why so many major nations are along the coast.
Only the strong can occupy coastal outlets to the sea.
But recently, with no demon sightings, questions started to arise about whether the prince was just babbling.
No one could have anticipated that the Lokeshi would find something.
"No, I must inform the Regent King about this immediately."
Kulin and Jino's expressions changed, "We must leave first."
