Chapter 926: Original Sin
Chapter 926: Original Sin
"Whatever you say, I guess."
After glancing at the adamant Black Goat, Lyon chose not to refute its conspiracy theory. Instead, he scrutinized its appearance and then spoke thoughtfully, "Although this theory is a little silly, it doesn't seem like something your mind could come up with... To be honest, how much have you gained from me?"
"What?!?!"
Oh no!
Upon hearing Lyon's words, the Black Goat couldn't help but shudder. It hurriedly tried to retract its neck, but Lyon grabbed its horns and forcibly pulled it out of the Mirror World.
"Sizzle!"
[Name: Incomplete Demon of Original Sin (Fall, Original Sin, Catastrophe)]
[Appearance: A black goat that enjoys smoking low-quality cigarettes and excels at cursing others. It openly insults those it can defeat and secretly curses those it can't. Upon closer inspection, one would find that its body has two missing parts. Its eyeballs and goat's whip are mere illusions, without corresponding physical forms.]
[Abilities: Primordial Demon, Original Sins (Greed, Wrath...), Catastrophes (Barrenness, War...)]
[Cost: It dares not ask.]
[File: A genius demon who has comprehended the seven original sins and their corresponding seven catastrophes. However, due to its attempt to push all fourteen abilities to the extreme at once, it has been unable to advance to the True Divine Rank. While infiltrating the mundane realm in search of a breakthrough, it was ambushed...
Currently held by the contemporary Aquarius Director, Lyon Leigh, of the Purge Bureau. By absorbing the boundless strong desire hidden within Lyon Leigh's soul, he has re-enacted the ten abilities to their current limit. After completely restoring the missing body parts, there is a high probability of an immediate breakthrough.]
[Evaluation: An extremely talented demon with immense potential. After being repeatedly humiliated by two masters, it not only completely got rid of its arrogant and proud flaws but also learned to pretend to be obedient and beg for mercy. It has even picked up the bad habits of double standards and shamelessness from its two masters, making it the perfect embodiment of a demon.]
[Infection Value: 44]
"..."
You damn...
After reading the evaluation of "double standards" and "shamelessness," Lyon's face darkened. He glared at the Black Goat that had been pulled out and asked in a sinister tone, "No wonder your mind is different. You've combined your own parts?"
"Well... not completely..."
Under Lyon's dangerous gaze, the Black Goat's neck retracted slightly, and its hind legs trembled. With a forced smile, it explained, "It's just that recently, the strong desire within you has been growing stronger. No matter how hard we try to consume it, it's never-ending. It seemed a bit wasteful to leave it unattended, so I gave it a try, and it actually worked... Ahaha..."
Strong desire within me?
Upon hearing the Black Goat's words, Lyon fell silent for a moment. He then switched to the 'Lake of the Mind' and examined his mood with the power of the God of the Lake.
Indeed, it was tumultuous...
After observing his turbulent inner state, Lyon nodded reluctantly, acknowledging the Black Goat's explanation.
Although the Black Goat's conspiracy theory was mostly nonsense, at least in part, upon realizing that all the "stumbling blocks" had been removed and that he had vaguely grasped the power to change the world, Lyon couldn't help but feel his "desire" stirring. He was eager to take action.
If it were before, he probably wouldn't have said much to the Taurus Director and the others. Instead, he would have silently gone about his business, waiting to gain the support of most of the Purge Bureau agents before forcing his ideas upon them.
After discovering that the path ahead was surprisingly smooth, even though his mind kept warning him to stay calm and not take any hasty steps, he couldn't help but reveal more than he intended and his actions were far more significant than originally planned.
He couldn't help but think that if the one saved by that shot hadn't been Bull, but the suspicious Sagittarius Director, he would have likely been met with suspicion and restraint for his bold actions... Yes, he had acted too hastily.
Although this approach of taking action first and then gradually gaining support seemed feasible under the current circumstances, it was only because the situation was unique. Otherwise, it would have been better to first secure the support of most people, gradually build momentum, and then reform more steadily.
"Alright."
Admonishing himself to remain calm and not rush into things blindly, Lyon glanced at the Black Goat whose eyes shifted uneasily. Squinting, he asked, "So, after taking advantage, instead of hiding, you decide to jump out. Are you trying to incite me to seize the Commissioner's position and then lead the Purge Bureau to dominate all humanity?"
Hearing this, the Black Goat shuddered, then stared with his goat eyes, asking with great anticipation:
"You've finally come to your senses?!"
"..."
I've come to my senses, you old goat!
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Lyon, who had returned to the mundane realm, glanced at the distant Virgo Bureau and then began walking towards the building while grumbling:
"Cut the crap. Speak your plan quickly, or I'll send you to the kitchen for soup!"
"..."
That damn red-haired woman, always threatening to make soup out of me, and now this kid has learned it too!
[Unintelligible text]
"It's not a big deal, really."
After mentally cursing both Lyon and the Red-Haired Commissioner, the Black Goat rubbed his hands together in a subservient manner and said with a forced smile:
"We just wanted to ask about our whip... When do you plan to retrieve it?"
"Soon."
After a quick glance at the Black Goat's expression, Lyon replied:
"I wrote to the Commissioner about it. Your whip was confiscated by the Scorpio Bureau from the Life-Derivation Cult, and Abigail has been purifying it with all her might. Although the foundation of the Lustful Original Sin remains, the power it held has been distorted. It will take some time to repair it before it can be sent over."
Tsk... That damn woman!
Although he already knew the fate of his... close companion, the Black Goat still couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. After cursing her ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind, he blinked his non-existent eyes and asked with hopeful eyes:
"What about my eyes...?"
"We're looking for them too."
Glancing at the 'Fallen' tag in the Black Goat's name, Lyon casually replied as he pushed open the door and entered the Virgo Bureau:
"Your eyes represent the sin of envy. The Bureau has initially identified several suspicious areas based on this condition. According to the Commissioner, we should have results within one or two months... Commissioner?"
As he approached the open door of the Commissioner's office, Lyon saw the Commissioner holding a pair of antique bronze shears, about to cut her red hair. Lyon's mind went blank for a moment.
The BloodHair Slayer... should she be allowed to do this?
