Granny Seal’e revered Negary.
That was undeniable, but her reverence and her pursuit of ideals did not conflict against one another.
It was because she understood Negary’s power that she paid close attention to him, even dispatching the Dazzled and the Chopped Hand to attack him and successfully deprive one of Negary’s trump cards, the Church of the Divine Grace’s original Evil Spirit.
If not for that, with the power of the original Evil Spirit, it might have been possible for him to break out of the restraints of her destiny power.
Destiny was the ability that Granny Seal’e obtained through releasing the first stage of her [Origin], its strength in direct combat was negligible and required extensive layers of preparations in order to exert its greatest effect.
And her preparations up to this point had made it so that not even Nala who had obtained the authority of the 3 Gods could resist this power.
However, even now Granny Seal’e was wary that Negary might have a trump card to escape her destiny—- no, he surely had a trump card to escape her destiny.
That was why she had used her explanations as an excuse to buy time and delay his actions. The closer the Black Abyss approached, the stronger her power grew, so the more time she could buy before Negary used his trump card, the more advantageous it was for her.
〖 The Church of Divine Grace called Evil Spirits the ‘error of this world’, this is actually true 〗 Negary’s body, despite being under the restraints of destiny, was still slowly growing scales bit by bit. He slowly spoke: 〖 The first flame created a perfect ‘digestive system’ that consumed the power of the Black Abyss through the cycle of life 〗
〖 But regretfully, the New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon escaped, thus leaving a loophole in this system. The Last God later tried to repair this, but left errors remaining, which were the Evil Spirits 〗
Normally, after the death of a life, their True Spirit would go into reincarnation, while the remnant soul would be burnt away by the flames. But due to the error, remnant souls could sustain themselves through the death of others. Their very existence ruined the order of this world.
Because of that, the more Evil Spirits there were, the closer the Black Abyss would be. And the closer the Black abyss was, the more Evil Spirits would be created.
The New Deity was replaced by the Last God, which somewhat allowed the loophole to be repaired, but the Progenitor Dragon never had a substitute. As the Progenitor Dragon represented the flame, it was the lack of his substitution that a remnant soul was able to struggle at death’s door within this world’s flame. Otherwise, any remnant soul would simply be burnt away and return to the world as soon as they appeared.
〖 The Dragon is the root of the error in this world, this is also the reason why I pursued the power of the Dragon 〗the scales on Negary’s body began to fall off one by one and tiny tentacles spread as his body quickly became deformed: 〖 Using the correct form of the Dragon, my power would never be able to surpass the limit of this world 〗
〖 Because of that, this is the form of the Dragon of Error, or rather, the Dragon of Eternal Sin! 〗Negary’s form began to drastically change.
Firstly, three tumours grew and burst on his back, as the mucus dripped to the floor, three individual fleshy wings stretched outwards; a tail started growing from the end of his tailbone, then split into several tentacles at the tip.
The most terrifying change was on Negary’s chest. Sharp fangs started to manifest right in the middle of his torso, a total of three circles of teeth opened up one after another, clearly revealing a large bulge right inside his body.
With a single glance, anyone could tell that this creature should not have existed in this world. It felt as if the creature was the synonym for error, and that its existence was an unforgivable sin. The sin of the Progenitor Dragon betraying this world seemed to have been imprinted on and all over its body.
This was one of Negary’s trump cards, the transformation into this world’s error itself, the symbol for the Progenitor Dragon’s betrayal, the Dragon of Eternal Sin.
The power of destiny that Granny Seal’e had placed on Negary was disturbed by this error, allowing Negary to break off the restraints of fate.
The Dragonmen whose existence was largely ignored up to now, affected by Negary’s transformation, also began to deform and morph into a wrongful appearance. The one who changed the most was Yadley, the former captain of the Crowmen, whose body mutated into a false draconic form that roughly resembled Negary.
The idea of the Dragon of Eternal Sin originally came from Yadley. When his heart was literally broken by Chris, he had taken and replaced his heart with the Bizarre Scales’ heart, contaminating the Dragon’s blood and gradually mutating.
Negary took a fancy to this power and began to study it. Only after studying Mysticism, [Dracotongue] and various other secrets with Granny Seal’e, did Negary manage to complete the real idea of the Dragon of Eternal Sin. By combining the error of the Evil Spirits and the sin of the Dragons, he completed his current form and gained power beyond the limits of the world.
“Perhaps I should say, as expected of Lord Negary?” Granny Seal’e stared at Negary who had taken the Dragon of Eternal Sin form and spoke full of reverence.
Lord Negary is such an existence. Even as an enemy, I can’t help but be deeply impressed by his strength.
This ‘strength’ wasn’t simply referring to his power or anything else, but rather his own prowess.
Clearly, he was only an Evil Spirit who had lost its [Origin], one whose potential was destined to be limited, and yet he was able to grasp every opportunity he could. Untiringly changed himself and gained strength beyond his own limit.
She did not possess this kind of ‘strength’. The more she understood about her own abilities, the more she revered Negary. As such, Granny Seal’e had always referred to Negary as ‘Lord’ with sincerity from the bottom of her heart.
“Come, Lord Negary, let this old woman see how powerful you are!” Granny Seal’e opened her eyes wide, a great amount of indescribable power surged forth from her body as she madly screamed: “Cover it all! Destiny! Put everything under your control!”
As the power of destiny that bound everyone loosened, it began to pour into the world. Something seemed to have changed about the world, a feeling mixed of falsehood and truth was everywhere around them.
Negary let out a thunderous roar. In front of a pile of extinguished flames, a headless girl wielded the Dragonscale sword, turned to face them, then slowly walked towards Negary.
Representing the ‘unreasonable’ side of God, the Decapitated, former ‘Saintress of Salvation’, Nala Dakmi, had now turned into the representative of the Black Abyss, coming to deliver the sword of death upon everyone here.
The minds of the assassins of Sacred Valley collapsed as they saw the extinguished flames. They knew that they shouldn’t have let anyone approach the first flame, but so what if they knew? They were powerless to prevent anything in the first place.
“Wait, it’s not over yet” Noah spoke up on the side: “Most likely, this place is being covered by Seal’e’s future prediction, as long as we defeat this future, we will defeat Seal’e and set things back on track”
“Be courageous and face our Saintress of Salvation. Even if you are useless, you can at least try to act a bit less shameful, can’t you?” Noah said.
The Dragon of Eternal Sin and headless girl, Negary and Nala. One of them exuded a [Dragon’s Pressure] full of fallacy, while the other gave off the presence of the Black Abyss.
Negary had been able to grow to the point he had today, to a large extent, through relying on the Dragon’s blood inside Nala; while Nala was only able to grow to her current self through Negary’s continuous training. The fate of the two entangled with one another, so it was only fitting for there to be a battle to end it all.
“Heh, this great one didn’t expect to have to save the world one day. Weren’t we supposed to be the villains here?” Jack the Killer said with an ecstatic expression on his face: “After this, I’m definitely changing my business card to Saviour J”
