Sheyan was panting loudly. His heavy voice sounded like that of a worker who had worked hard for a day.
His neck, legs, and arms were shackled with translucent halos. The first impression of these shackles was that they were thick, violent, and crude, with a strong European medieval style. On the other end of the shackles, there was a thick chain. The chain was tight, and on the other end of the chain, there was a huge holy object that was filled with Holy Light. However, due to the intense Holy Light, it could not be seen clearly.
The holy light gradually dissipated, revealing the five huge holy objects that were connected to each other. They were a huge Bible, the True Cross, the Ark of the Covenant, the Crown of Thorns and the Spear of Longinus. These five huge holy objects were all flying in different directions at the same time. If Sheyan did not have enough strength to resist, he would have been torn apart by the five different forces of the holy objects!
However, Sheyan's crime of "arrogance" among the seven deadly sins was very light, so the punishment that followed was not heavy either. Not only was he not torn apart, but he was also panting heavily. He resisted the dragging force of the five holy objects with his own strength and climbed up to the eleventh floor with great difficulty.
"Crash", "Boom", and other loud noises rang out from the staircase. The tempered glass in the staircase of the Morgan Building was broken by the Five Great Holy Objects. The scattered glass reflected the light from the street lamps below and fell from the sky like the white light from the teeth of wild beasts. It was full of bloodthirsty brutality!
From the outside, it looked like a terrifying beast was struggling to break through the obstruction of the glass wall and climb up!
Because the brute force used was so great, the veins on Sheyan's neck and forehead were bulging. Sweat poured down like it was free. Every time he took a step upstairs, half of the stairs would crumble under his feet!
"You want to... stop... me... with this level of... power???" A mocking smile surfaced on Sheyan's face. The transparent shackles left deep marks on Sheyan's body, but they could not stop Sheyan from continuing to climb upwards!
When Sheyan reached the ninth floor, the translucent shackles on his body instantly disintegrated and vanished with a loud bang! The five holy objects collided with each other in the air and turned into ashes. Sheyan didn't even bother to look at those strange phenomena. The instant he was freed, he once again climbed up half a floor. Even though he was branded with the pain of being branded as a sinner, he still gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he took large strides forward.
The tenth floor!
But at that moment, the Cardinal once again appeared in front of Sheyan! His appearance was so sudden, but if one took a closer look, one would be able to tell that this guy had come from a distance at high speed. The gap between the sudden stop and the sudden movement was so short that ordinary people would be dazzled or stunned. It was as if time had frozen in an instant, and the Cardinal had calmly arrived at the frozen moment, then suddenly unfrozen time.
The air instantly froze. Sheyan was about to ascend the first flight of stairs to the tenth floor, but he froze in mid-air.
The Cardinal did not make a move. Instead, he closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of a cat catching a mouse. Then, he looked at Sheyan. In that instant, Sheyan felt an intense sunlight piercing into the depths of his soul, causing him to first feel a deep warmth, followed by an undisguised burning pain!
"Repent, you sinner! Then pay for your sins with your flesh and blood! "
As he spoke, the four branded marks on Sheyan's body shone with a dazzling light! Once again, Sheyan felt an indescribable piercing pain from his limbs and bones.
That feeling, that feeling was indescribable. It was as if he could clearly feel that there were four bombs containing terrifying power in his body, fiercely absorbing the essence of his flesh and blood. Moreover, they were still rapidly expanding, and could explode at any time like an inflated balloon!
Sheyan immediately used an honorary dosage to restore his HP to full condition!
Among them, the brand of sinner left by the sin of gluttony was the fastest to absorb energy, while the brand of sinner left by the sin of pride was the slowest to absorb energy. Among them, the brand of sinner left by the sin of gluttony absorbed energy the fastest, while the brand of sinner left by the sin of pride absorbed energy the slowest.
What was even more terrifying was that after the sinner brand appeared on the skin, the blood vessels and the sarcoma were entangled together, just like a healing burn scar. Countless suction cups bulged on the surface, and the blue blood vessels bulged out. Not only did it look ferocious, but it also exuded a cruel aura.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Sheyan screamed wildly, not knowing whether it was because of the pain or because of anger! At that moment, the branded mark of gluttony on his body was the first to absorb enough energy. It let out a dull explosion, and a large amount of blood burst out from Sheyan's thigh!
More than half of Sheyan's right leg was blown off. It flew in a circle and crashed through the tempered glass next to it. It fell from the tenth floor, leaving a trail of blood in the night sky!
Sheyan's face suddenly turned pale! He gritted his teeth. The branded mark of wrath on his left leg began to swell rapidly, forming a huge tumor on the surface of his body. It then burst into a rain of blood! His left leg was blown off again! Although his leg bones were still connected by tendons and veins, it was obvious that his leg was completely crippled!
"You … You!" Sheyan, who had suffered two serious injuries in a row, suddenly turned over. His face was pale and cold sweat kept flowing down. He wanted to point his finger at the Cardinal, but the branded mark of greed on his right arm began to swell again. It frantically absorbed flesh and blood, causing Sheyan's right arm to become as thin as a stick in an instant.
A clear pleasure appeared in the Cardinal's incomparably cold eyes, as if watching the intense pain and torture of others was his only enjoyment! Sheyan instantly pressed his right hand under his body, as if he wanted to use his body weight to press down on his arm so that the power of the brand would not explode!
But the cruel reality proved that it was just a naive fantasy. With a loud bang, Sheyan seemed to have crushed a watermelon under his body. A large amount of red and black flesh flowed out from under his body. He was also sent flying three or four meters by the huge thrust generated by the explosion of the brand of greed. His head hit the stairs next to him heavily, causing a lot of blood to flow out.
Sheyan's right hand was not broken! However, most of his muscles had disappeared. He looked like a mummy, all skin and bones. He looked hideous and strange. The middle part of his right hand was badly mangled, revealing his bones. Even the bones were purplish black, and there were deep and terrifying cracks on them! It felt so fragile that it would break with a gentle snap.
Sheyan was trembling all over and could no longer speak. His hair was completely wet, but he did not know whether it was sweat or blood! The brand of 'Pride' on his left hand was still there, and it had begun to expand rapidly. It was obvious that all his limbs would be crippled.
Even under such circumstances, the Cardinal still had to activate the power of the brand of 'Pride'. It could be seen that although he was arrogant, he was not arrogant at all. He was very cautious and did not give Sheyan any chance to counterattack. He was like a lion going all out even if it wanted to catch a rabbit!
Sheyan used the last of his strength to press his left hand under his body again. There was another explosion. Sheyan was sent flying another two or three meters away, blood and flesh spraying everywhere. His left hand now looked even stranger. From the fingers to the forearm of his left hand, it looked intact, but from the elbow to the shoulder, there were only white bones left! His left hand was obviously completely crippled!
"You heretic who spread the plague. You've only suffered four sins and you're already so weak? I thought you could hold on until the Sins of the Apocalypse came, but it turns out that this is all you've got! "
The Cardinal's majestic voice sounded again.
Sheyan looked up at the sky, as if he had completely given up. Only the slight movement of his chest showed that he was still alive.
There was a mocking look in the Cardinal's eyes as he said:
"Strictly speaking, you dirty heretic aren't stupid. You're still trying to use the power of my holy brand to effectively escape at a time like this! You were just at the bottom of the stairs leading to the eleventh floor from the tenth floor. You used the impact generated by the explosion of the brands on your right hand and left hand to move to the upper middle section of the stairs on the tenth floor! "
"Do you really want to go to the eleventh floor so badly? In the eyes of God, these little tricks of yours are not worth mentioning at all! Hahaha, you're only four steps away from the eleventh floor! But you're destined to not be able to cross these four steps! It doesn't feel good to see your destination but not be able to reach it, does it? "
Sheyan said in a weak voice:
"You idiot who claims to be God! Do you dare to let me reach the eleventh floor? "
The Cardinal looked at Sheyan like he was looking at a fool.
"Do you think I'll agree to your request? God's gift is only given to believers. The only gain for heretics is to fall into the abyss of despair! Hahaha, cry in regret in the abyss of pain and destruction. Repent in the countless centuries of torment that follow. You'll suffer more because of your cleverness! "
Following the Cardinal's voice, a large number of cracks began to appear on the stairs under Sheyan's feet. A large amount of sand and gravel rustled down. Sheyan, who was so close to success, was about to fall into the endless abyss of failure! (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
