Before coming to the Darksiders world from the Abyss, Roy had dug up a lot of demon gold and thrown it into the system space. Any bit of it could bury people!
No matter what, demon gold was still gold. The golden color would not lie. Now, Roy was a tycoon among demons. He used countless gold bars to lure Greed, who wanted to escape, back.
The goblin stared greedily at the gold bars that were constantly falling from Roy's hand, and the melodious and crisp sound kept impacting his eardrums. He clearly wanted to escape, but his body obediently walked toward Roy step by step. He was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Greed, and he naturally avoided this natural weakness.
Just as Greed was about to approach Roy, Julia suddenly appeared behind him. She raised her sword and pierced Greed's body from his shoulder, nailing him to the ground.
Greed let out a scream, but the focus of his eyes was still fixed on the pile of gold in front of Roy. .
Roy watched Julia restrain Greed, so he stopped releasing demon gold. But unexpectedly, when the sound of the gold falling stopped, Greed screamed at the top of his lungs, "Don't stop! Don't stop! More, I want more gold! "
Roy was a little speechless. This guy is really greedy for money …
Julia held the hilt of her sword with both hands and stepped on Greed's body with one foot. Seeing this, she snorted coldly and activated her magic power. Black flames suddenly burst out from the sword. Under the high temperature of the flames, Greed, who was skewered on the sword, immediately let out a miserable scream, and the flesh on his wound burned.
But this was not the worst part. The worst part was that after Avarice's skin and flesh were burned, they quickly regenerated and then continued to be burned, falling into a cycle of torture!
This was because Julia's hellfire had a very special 'recovery' attribute. Previously, Julia had used these flames to repair her damaged armor, but now, using them on Greed had turned into a kind of torture.
Looking at the scene of Julia using flames, for some reason, a word suddenly appeared in his mind: Nirvana! Julia's flames felt very similar to the phoenix's nirvana flames, but these flames were black hellfire. Then, when Samuel transformed Julia's body, did he use the Black Phoenix as a material?
Roy's imagination ran wild, but his hands did not stop moving. With a wave of his hand, he stored the pile of gold on the ground back into the system space.
This gold might come in handy in other worlds in the future, and he did not want to discard it here.
But … what Roy did not expect was that this action of his had the opposite effect!
The moment the gold disappeared, Greed, who was still screaming, suddenly froze. The next second, he was furious. A powerful force suddenly erupted from his thin body and flipped Julia over. Julia's hellfire was still hanging on his shoulder, but he stomped on the ground and pounced at Roy with a ferocious expression!
"Gold! Where did you put my gold?! "
Roy was caught off guard, and Greed pounced on his face. Greed screamed as he used his sharp claws to tear at Roy's face desperately. But because Roy was wearing the helmet of the Cold Winter Armor, Greed could not cause any damage to him. He only scratched Roy's hard helmet, causing it to creak and sparks to fly.
He seemed to have regarded the pile of gold that Roy had thrown out as his own, but when Roy took the gold back, he immediately exploded!
Roy, who had regained his senses, was very angry. He reached out and grabbed Greed off his face, but then he found that Greed's strength was astonishing! Under the struggle, it was a little difficult for him to hold him.
The next second, Roy immediately activated Bloodlust. Red light filled his body, and the muscles on his arms swelled again. Under the amplification of Bloodlust, Roy pinched Greed's face with his left hand and hung him in the air. His right claw grabbed one of Greed's demon horns and exerted force …
With a muffled crack, Roy broke off one of Greed's demon horns!
After breaking off one of Greed's demon horns, Roy was still not satisfied. Looking at Greed, who was constantly waving his claws to scratch him, he grinned sinisterly, stretched out his hand, and broke off the other demon horn!
Generally speaking, demon horns were just thick and constantly stacked cuticles. Horns usually did not have many sensory nerves, but this was only under normal circumstances. Roy's violent actions broke off Greed's demon horns and also affected the roots of the horns. Greed screamed in pain again, and black blood kept flowing out of his forehead.
Looking at Greed's miserable state, Roy finally vented some of his anger. After using Psychokinesis to strangle Greed in the air, Roy let go and took a few steps back.
While he retreated, Julia appeared from behind. This time, she did not show any mercy. The sharp sword in her hand drew a cold light, and after a quick flash, she cut Greed in half in the air!
Julia was petite and light, so it was easy for her to suffer when facing powerful opponents. Or rather, it was not just her. Almost all angels were similar to her. In battle, angels usually used skills and magic power to defeat their opponents and rarely fought head-on with their strength. So after being sent flying by Greed twice in a row, Julia was very angry. She felt that she had lost face in front of her partner, Roy, so she directly killed Greed this time.
Roy had stepped back just now because he had sensed Julia's thoughts and wanted to give her a chance to save her face …
After being cut in half, Greed finally stopped struggling. His body was clearly dead, but his red eyes were still staring at Roy, as though he wanted to bring Roy, his enemy who had taken away his gold, to hell …
Heavens, have mercy. The gold was clearly Roy's …
Julia swung the longsword in her hand and shook off the black blood beads on it. She walked forward and said to Roy, "Did you notice? This guy's power fluctuated a lot just now … "
"Yes!" Roy nodded. "It seems that it was because I put away the gold that stimulated him …"
"I don't know much about the Seven Deadly Sins, but …" Julia said thoughtfully. "From Greed's situation, specific emotions seem to increase their strength?"
In Fury's words, the Seven Deadly Sins that escaped from the prison of the Charred Council were actually not demons but aggregations of specific negative emotional powers, and they existed in the form of souls. After escaping from their cages and coming to the human world, they chose different bodies to possess. Greed had possessed this goblin. But because goblins did not know how to use magic power, which was the case in many worlds where goblins existed, this goblin did not use magic power to attack during the battle with Roy and the others.
However, without using magic, it had immense strength and agility. Especially the final eruption, it forced Roy to use Bloodlust to grab it …
After a brief exchange with Julia, Roy immediately understood that perhaps the source of the power of the Seven Deadly Sins might be the seven negative emotions they corresponded to. Once they produced or absorbed these negative emotions from other places, it might increase their strength …
"We have to hurry up!" Roy said. "This world is now in the midst of the End War. Under the stimulation of war, the negative emotions born are definitely very strong. This is the time for the Seven Deadly Sins to absorb strength. No wonder they came to the human world. If we ignore them or delay for too long, their strength might grow to the point where we can't deal with them …"
Julia nodded in agreement. She knew very well that as long as it was an intelligent creature, they would inevitably have all kinds of emotions. Be it humans, angels, or demons, they were all the same. Happiness, joy, fear, greed, irritation, and so on. Without these emotions, intelligent creatures could not be called intelligent creatures and could only be considered puppets.
Precisely because of this, even though the number of humans in this world had greatly decreased, the Seven Deadly Sins could still obtain and absorb these negative emotions from angels or demons to increase their strength and then break through the shackles to become stronger existences. At that time, it would be troublesome.
After chatting for a while, Roy found that even though the goblin's body was dead, Greed's soul was not exposed.
After thinking for a while, Roy took out the Talisman of Sin and activated it with magic power.
A dazzling light shone out and turned into a bolt of lightning that connected to the Goblin's body. Under the power of the Talisman of Sin, Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, was finally pulled out from its shell!
It was a special soul that was constantly twisting as countless faces appeared. Every face that appeared in the soul was filled with greed. However, this scene only lasted for a moment, and one could only see it clearly. After that, the soul was pulled into the Talisman of Sin.
"Ah ~!" Roy did not know if it was an illusion, but the Talisman of Sin actually let out a satisfied sigh.
Seeing this, Roy suddenly had a thought and put the Talisman of Sin into the system space. He wanted to see what this Seven Deadly Sins' Greed soul was like in the system …
