After putting the Talisman of Sin into the system space, something unexpected happened to Roy!
In the system's identification, the Talisman of Sin was identified as a 'true spirit container'. It was a little special, but it did not surprise Roy too much. However, the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins stored in the talisman were marked as' Seed of Law '!
Among the Talisman of Sin, there were currently the souls of Greed that Roy had collected and the souls of Envy that Fury had collected, so the system marked them as' Seed of Law x1 'and' Seed of Law Fragment x1 '. This meant that Roy's guess was right. The watcher who had been following Fury was the true Envy of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the soul of Envy that Fury had collected was actually just a soul fragment.
However, the souls of these Seven Deadly Sins were not true souls but the power of law, which surprised Roy …
Laws, as the name implied, were the codex rules of the operation of the world. Logically speaking, all physical phenomena and chemical phenomena in the world could be called laws. Fire, frost, darkness, light, and even time and space could actually be called laws. Even things like souls could be regarded as a kind of law. But strangely, Roy had never seen the word 'law' in the system's marking of items.
Except for the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins …
What was the reason? Why were only the Seven Deadly Sins defined as laws in the system?
Ever since Roy learned about the functions of the system, he had always felt that his system was extremely mysterious and powerful. The power to use souls to create at will once made Roy feel a little awe. So although he did not know the origin of the system, Roy had always believed in the system's definition of items. He knew that the system would not lie to him. Since the system defined the Seven Deadly Sins as the power of law, then they were laws and could not be wrong.
Out of curiosity, Roy could not help but ask the system in his mind, "System, what does the power of law mean?"
"The power of law can only be used and strengthened, but it cannot be changed or eliminated. It is an inevitable derivative of creation, a necessary condition for intelligent life to create culture and history, and a source that drives the evolution of the world …"
The system gave a long series of explanations. Roy did not understand much, but he understood something.
Flames could be extinguished, frost could be melted, time could be reversed and transcended, and space could similarly be distorted. These seemingly universal truths actually had conditions that could be changed, but only the laws could not be changed.
To put it bluntly, the Seven Deadly Sins were the representatives of negative emotions that all intelligent life had. These negative emotions could not be seen or touched, but they truly existed. Even powerful angels, demons, dragons, and great gods like titans could not eliminate the interference of these emotions. This power was probably the only power in the universe that could not be immune.
Moreover, according to the system's explanation, the power of law was probably not only the negative emotions of the Seven Deadly Sins but also positive emotions, such as tolerance, enthusiasm, temperance, humility, joy, love, and so on. These emotions should also belong to the power of law.
Throughout the historical process of all intelligent life, without exception, they were all under the domination of these emotional laws. Under the domination of appetite, life survived. Under the domination of love and lust, life reproduced. Under the domination of unity and friendship, life established races and countries. Under the domination of anger and hatred, life produced war. These emotional powers quietly affected all life, making the world colorful. While affecting every choice in their lives, they naturally affected the evolution of the world …
Thinking about it carefully, it was actually quite terrifying. Be it humans, angels, or demons, they always felt that they controlled their thoughts, but they did not know that this thought was wrong. Many times, life itself did not realize that they were being affected by these emotional laws …
Roy noticed that in the system, the soul of greed was only marked as a seed of the power of law, and there was no special classification. It seemed that the system classified all emotional powers as the power of law.
Thinking of the Eyes of Nightmare he had set and the fear runes engraved on the frost wings, Roy could not help but ask, "Is the power of fear I defined actually a kind of power of law?"
"Yes!" The system replied with certainty. "The use of emotional laws is actually very simple because they are a universal power."
With this explanation, Roy immediately understood. Although the system defined emotional power as the power of law, and this term sounded quite lofty, it was not a higher-level power. In fact, it was not necessarily more advanced than elemental power and spatial power.
But this power was the only power that could not be changed or eliminated … This made Roy think of the cultivation books he had read in his previous life. Perhaps this was the so-called Great Dao in its simplest form?
Gradually, Roy suddenly felt that he seemed to understand what the so-called Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings were … Were existences at that level demon kings who could use these emotional laws to the limit?
Imagine, what would happen if billions of lives in a world were to fall into a state of rage? People would pick up the weapons in their hands out of anger and kill each other day and night. All the weapons they had created might be thrown onto the heads of their own people, and then they would exterminate their own people …
And if everyone in the world fell into the domination of gluttony, they would eat all the animals and plants on their planet, leaving the world bare …
Just the thought of such a scene sent chills down one's spine …
"Then, can I use these power of law seeds?" Roy asked the system.
"Of course, but I have to remind you in advance that these power of law seeds are actually aggregations of some kind of emotional power. They have a very powerful influence. When you use them, you will also be affected!" the system prompted. "Are you sure you want to use them?"
"I'll think about it again!" Roy immediately changed his mind when he heard the system's reminder.
It seemed like the side effects of using the power of these power of law seeds were very great, and one of them was the power of greed. Roy could not imagine himself becoming a miser like Grandet, so he temporarily shrank back.
Correspondingly, Roy's use of the Eyes of Nightmare and the fear rune was much safer. Although this kind of superficial use had limited effects, it would not affect and harm him.
Now, Roy finally understood why the Charred Council wanted the Horsemen of the Apocalypse to capture the Seven Deadly Sins. This kind of power of law that could not be completely eliminated could only be restricted from growing and imprisoned. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What's wrong with you?" Julia's voice came from the side. She found that Roy had suddenly stopped walking and was in a daze, so she asked curiously.
Speaking of which, this curiosity is also a kind of emotion, right? Thirst for knowledge?
As Roy thought about this, he found that he seemed to have gone berserk, and his mind was filled with thoughts about the law of emotions. He quickly shook his head to expel these thoughts and said to Julia, "It's nothing. Let's go. We have to hurry."
Spreading his wings, Roy brought Julia to the next place where the Demon Eyes sent back news.
Not long after they left, a gigantic Magic Array suddenly appeared where they were just now.
A tall figure with a hunched body appeared with a huge walking stick on his back. On his back was a huge strange coffin, and there were two statues on the coffin. One statue was the image of an angel, and the other was the image of a demon. The two statues faced each other, looking very much like the positions of an angel and a demon.
This tall figure stared in the direction where Roy and Julia had left and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he suddenly sighed softly. "There's a deviation … An unexpected demon. Hmm, and a fallen angel. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse actually gave them the mission of capturing the Seven Deadly Sins. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Are they really up to the task? "
