On the other hand, this wasn't a bad idea. By raising the threshold, he could make those who bore the burden of sinful demons more mature and stable.
However, if someone like that was successfully tempted, the consequences would be even worse.
If Angor wanted to organize an organization in the future, he might need someone who could purge sinful demons that crossed the threshold or were successfully tempted.
While Angor pondered, the sinful demon inside Cell was still struggling. However, it eventually gave up under the pressure of the power of authority.
Angor watched as the sinful demon calmed down and began to think about how to deal with it.
After watching the fight, Angor was sure that Cell wasn't suitable for the job.
He didn't think too much when fighting, and he was easily tempted. He wasn't suitable to bear the burden of a sinful demon.
In the end, Angor decided to remove the sinful demon from Cell's body and find someone else who was suitable.
With that in mind, Angor controlled the sinful mist inside the Tree of Authority to lock onto Cell and remove the sinful demon from his body.
Following Angor's movement, Cell's body slowly returned to normal. At the same time, a cloud of black mist came out of Cell's mouth. The black mist slowly gathered in the air.
When Angor removed the last bit of black mist from Cell's body, Cell returned to his human form and fell unconscious on the ground.
And floating above Cell's body was the strange creature that they had seen before.
It had a worm-like head, a pair of butterfly wings, and a body as soft as a snake's.
The sinful demon had reached maturity and could survive without the sinful mist. However, it still needed nightmare energy from its host. Now that Cell had removed the sinful demon from its body, it didn't seem to be able to adapt to its new environment.
Its long tail was wrapped up and curled into a ball in the air.
"So this is the Sinful Fiend you were talking about?" Leon stepped onto the stage and asked curiously.
"Yes. To be precise, sinful demon is just the name of a species. It's one of the sinful demons," Angor explained.
"Does it have a specific name?" Leon asked.
"Yes." Angor considered for a moment. "Snake-tailed Worm."
Snake-tailed Worm? Leon looked at the Sin Fiend in front of him. It had a snake tail and a worm body. It was indeed a mix of snake and worm, but …
"This name is quite fitting, but it feels like it was hastily put together," Leon muttered softly.
"Because I gave it that name. Isn't it nice?"
Leon: "…"
Saber also listened to their conversation, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. What was this Snake-tailed Worm? He had never seen anything like it in First Heart City before. Why did he emerge from Cell's body?
Sabelle looked at the unconscious Cell. He remembered that Cell had escaped from Beginnings City a few months ago, only to return in this state … Could there be such a terrifying snake-tailed bug outside the city?
Sabelle was so curious that she couldn't help but whisper.
Angor glanced at Sabelle but didn't answer right away. Instead, he asked Freud to take out a special container and put the "snake-tailed bug" inside.
Next, he looked at Sabelle. "I was going to tell you about this anyway. Come with me. I'll tell you everything once we get to Firmament Tower."
He paused for a moment and looked at Freud. "Since I'm going to tell you anyway, why don't you bring Torras and Lady Monroe to me so that I can tell them as well?"
"Alright." Freud pointed at the unconscious Cell and asked, "Where is he?"
Angor glanced at Cell. "You decide. Or, you can ask Lady Monroe to do it."
Freud nodded. He planned to deal with Cell personally. Cell was in the wrong, but since he had already been punished and became an experimental subject, his merits could offset some of his faults. Still, Cell did go outside the city, and Freud didn't plan to tell anyone about what happened outside the city. For now, it was better to keep Cell under control.
With that, Angor left the room. Leon was also curious about the Sin Fiend. He was planning to return to the real world, but he decided to stay with Angor for now.
Half an hour later, inside a circular hall in the middle level of Firmament Tower.
Sabelle, Torras, Mayor Dreamy, Freud, and Leon were all here. Sunders had to leave early because he needed to study the authority data for constructing the power system.
Angor looked around and saw that everyone was here.
He looked at Freud and nodded. Freud coughed twice and attracted everyone's attention.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll tell you the truth. Although … it might be a little cruel."
Freud explained everything about the Sin Fiend and the Sin Fiend in detail.
No one dared to interrupt, but everyone's expression was getting worse and worse … except for Torras, who didn't seem to know what was going on.
When Freud's voice trailed off, the air was silent. After a while, Saber finally spoke. "Could the Evil Fog threaten the safety of the citizens of Beginnings City?"
Freud nodded. "We don't know when the Sin Fiend will erupt, but its existence is a variable. You're right."
Sabelle remained silent for a moment. "If that's the case, I'm willing to accept the Sin Fiend. It's my duty to protect the citizens of Foundation City."
"Let me tell you about the Sin Fiend," Angor spoke up. "It's not as simple as you think.
"Cell, you all saw it earlier. He was the first person to be possessed by the Evil Demon. I wanted to test the Sin Fiend, but Cell didn't meet the requirements. He manipulated his power to the limit and accepted the Sin Fiend's temptation. So, Cell isn't qualified.
"The prerequisites for those who choose to be possessed by evil demons are that they cannot be blinded by external forces. They must be self-disciplined and have a strong will. Also, you must be able to endure loneliness. "
Using the power of danger to eliminate it in the cradle was a dangerous thing in and of itself.
The vast majority of ordinary people might understand in their hearts, but if they really encountered people who were possessed by evil demons, they would probably be like the Devil Dwellers in the Panic Realm, respectful and fearful.
"Is that really the only way?" Lady Moondew struggled to speak again.
"There are other ways, such as asking other supernaturals to protect you." Angor considered. "Are you willing?"
Everyone present, including Torras, was a visionary. They knew that it was unwise to leave their safety in someone else's hands.
Monroe felt it especially. She was born in a small country that was protected by other powerful countries. Since the country did not have enough power to protect itself, it had no choice but to ask for help whenever there was a war. And once they asked for help, they would be forced to accept a series of unfair treaties. Sometimes, the powerful countries would even put on their own shows to exploit the small ones.
That kind of humble begging posture, the knight holding the dusty armor and crying hysterically, as well as the humbleness of having to submit to another country, Monroe knew all too well.
There was no need to ask for help if they had enough power.
"I understand." Monroe murmured. Perhaps this matter was indeed risky, but peace had never been easy to come by.
Angor looked around and saw that no one had any objections.
Angor was going to tell them about the "Authority Grant" and tell them that there was a way out. But since no one objected, he decided not to do so.
Only by being vigilant in times of peace could one effectively prevent future disasters.
"Sin Fiends are a special power system. It will take some time to figure it out since there are still many problems to be solved."
Sin Fiends had all kinds of strange powers, including ranged and melee attacks. For example, Snaketail Bug would give them a speed-type talent. Angor needed to figure out how to choose a suitable Sin Fiend.
"But just in case, we need to set up a system as soon as possible. I'll leave it to you, Monroe, "said Angor. Monroe nodded.
"As for managing the Sin Fiends in the future, Saber will be in charge."
Saber nodded.
Torras raised a hand with an expectant look. "What about me? What about me? "
Angor did not consider Torras at all since the man could leave Foundation City whenever he wanted. But since Torras was so eager, Angor considered for a moment. "You'll be Saber's assistant."
Assistant?! Why?! Torras was about to protest, but Angor ignored him and continued to work on the Sin Fiend research.
