Chapter 848: Chapter 417: The Seven Deadly Sins of the Demon God - Part 2

"[The Demon King had committed the Sin of Greed, and your ’Eye of the Moon Goddess’ was forcefully taken by the Demon King.]"

"[The Demon King fitted the Eye of the Moon Goddess.]"

"?"

Mu You’s eyelid twitched; what was this madness? The Demon King was greedy but not punished; instead, his item was stolen?

"[The Demon King transformed into a beautiful young girl, whose stunning beauty caused your nosebleed to gush and your heart to flutter uncontrollably, eroding your will.]"

"[You have committed the Sin of Lust, all attributes decreased by 50%...]"

"???"

"[You forcibly suppressed your tumultuous heart and swung the Moon Blade, launching an attack on the Demon King.]"

"[You have committed the Sin of Wrath, and you were immediately subjected to a fierce counterattack from the Demon King.]"

"[You have died...]"

"..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Mu You rewound time again, but instead of making a direct choice, first removed one item and equipped the ’Omniscient Crystal,’ then he chose [Confront the Demon King]."

After being thrashed in various ways, Mu You fully understood why the Fairy Lady had said he was no match for the Demon King at the moment.

But before dying off completely, he at least wanted to understand the information of this thing clearly and die with full knowledge.

"[You chose to look directly at the Demon King and confront him.]"

"[You have committed the Sin of Arrogance! Your body disintegrated into flesh and blood, and you eventually turned into a pile of ash and disappeared.]"

"[You have died, but before death, the Omniscient Crystal fed back the information of the Demon King to you.]"

"[Sinful Demon King (13-Star): One of the most powerful divine creatures, possesses the power of the seven deadly sins, Divine Power 378, God’s Defense 523, HP: 8430000, Energy Value: 1560. Divine Artifact: None.

Divine Arts:

True God Bloodline—Born in the Real World, true life *100.

Sin of Wrath—When the Demon King is attacked, he can choose to retaliate with 1300% power, cooldown 5 seconds.

Sin of Envy—When there is more than a 30% HP difference between the Demon King and the enemy, the enemy will be burned by the flames of envy, continuously draining life.

Sin of Greed—Each minute, the Demon King will forcibly seize one equipped item from the target until his item slots are overflowed.

Sin of Sloth—Choosing to flee or dodge during a battle with the Demon King will continuously reduce attributes.

Sin of Gluttony—While the Demon King is in an eating state, he will recover HP at a rate of 1% per second. Enemies fighting the Demon King cannot recover HP by any means.

Sin of Lust—The Demon King transforms into a creature of the opposite sex of the enemy, stirring up the enemy’s underlying lust, reducing all attributes of the afflicted targets, with greater reduction for lower intelligence.

Sin of Arrogance—Opponents with a star level lower than yours who look at you will lose 13000 HP per second until death.]"

"Damn!"

Having read through it, Mu You only wanted to curse; with over eight million HP and a whole array of twisted abilities, was this thing even something a human could handle?

"[You have left the Tower of Heroes; many enhancements obtained within the tower have been repossessed; please try harder next time.]"

By then, he had already died in the game and did not rewind time again but instead turned back to take a careful look at the column of the Demon King’s Divine Arts.

True God Bloodline; no need to discuss that, a passive trait that only a god born in the Real World could obtain. Players who climbed the tower step by step and achieved godhood through faith could at best be considered ’pseudo-gods,’ no matter how high they grew, they couldn’t gain this ability.

The specific effect was a hundredfold increase in true life; this eight million HP must be the amplified value, implying that the original life of the Demon King should have been around eighty thousand true life, which matches the HP of a 13-star monster.

Speaking of which, since there was a passive bloodline, the original 3.7 million true life of Shadow God, having been amplified, must have been about 37,000 true life, which from the figures should rank as an 11-12 star divine creature.

If it were only this passive bloodline, it would have been fine, but even more monstrous were the seven abilities listed below, each corresponding to a deadly sin. Engaging in combat with the Demon King and triggering any of these sins meant suffering severe penalties, while on the contrary, the Demon King received enhancement whenever triggering these sins.

This was somewhat shameless, especially a few completely monstrous ones like the Sin of Wrath and the Sin of Arrogance—one resulted in being countered with thirteen times the power during an attack, and the other was a simple gaze that directly deducted health, over ten thousand per second!

Mu You’s total HP was just over 9300, so naturally, he was killed instantly with one look.

"Star Level..."

Mu You turned back and checked the description of the Sin of Arrogance, realizing the key was this ’Star Level’ thing. If his star level was equal to or higher than the Demon King’s, he could be exempt from this effect.

And ’Star Level’, although not directly displayed on the player’s panel, wasn’t hard to guess—each promotion was a star increase.

If a Warrior is equal to 1-Star, then after Warrior, the ranks are: Believer, Priest, Esoteric Buddhism, Bishop, Oracle, Divine Envoy, Divine Official, Holy Spirit, and God, where God is 10-Star. Presumably, one could continue to advance, becoming an 11-Star God, 12-Star God, and so on.

Mu You was currently a ’Holy Spirit’, which is 9-Star, four ranks lower than the Demon King’s 13-Star.

This meant that whenever Mu You entered the tower again, he had to raise his level to at least 13-Star before reaching the hundredth floor, otherwise, no matter how many times he tried, it would be futile.

As for this lengthy journey through the hundred-layered tower, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon, and the Warrior’s Tower had closed its doors.

Mu You put down his phone, found some paper and a pen, and noted down the Demon King’s statistics and abilities.

Then, looking back at the paper, he couldn’t help but sigh, "This is tough..."

This was the first time Mu You complained about the difficulty of the game.

Even if he managed to solve the Sin of Arrogance by increasing his star level, there were still six other deadly sins waiting to be overcome. The combined effect of these seven sins constituted a comprehensive suppression, sealing off almost all possible paths to defeat the Demon King at first glance!

Currently, the advantages Mu You had gained in the tower included dual Divine Artifacts, dual faiths, the Time Pocket Watch, the title of God Slayer, and the favor of a Fairy Lady, which altogether were extraordinarily generous. Yet even so, for the first time, he felt utterly helpless, not to mention the average players.

It seemed like the only way to defeat the Demon King was to rely on the blessing of "keep trying," accumulating enough offensive and defensive power from the God over time to naturally clear the stage.

If one wanted to defeat the stronger by being weaker, and sneak through earlier, the difficulty would increase by more than a hundredfold!

Mu You had no leads for the moment, so he decided to set aside this matter, exited the game, and opened the forum.

In the forum, players were still posting passionately, sharing their experiences in clearing the levels, while showing off and comparing how many layers they had cleared and which monsters they had defeated. Their words seemed to suggest that breaching the high tower and defeating the Demon King was just a day away.

Seeing these overly confident posts, Mu You didn’t know what to say—those who are ignorant have no fear. Not to mention how they would get past the bottleneck at level fifty, if they knew there was an unbeatable Demon King waiting for them on the tower’s summit, it was unlikely they’d still be laughing.

Shaking his head, Mu You then opened the ’City Lord Group.’

The atmosphere in the City Lord group was completely different.

"Hahaha, I’ve started the Divine Skin quest!" Just as he entered the group, Mu You saw Solomon announce this news in the group.

"Oh oh, impressive!" Baron of Hell chimed in.

"How did you start it? Tell us!" Yakov commented.

"Please talk about the details of the quest..." Sherlock Holmes commented.

...

The others also chimed in, eagerly watching.

Inheritance quests were of the utmost interest to those few City Lords, far more important than something like the Warrior’s Tower.

Solomon, having garnered enough attention, was satisfied and then went on to describe in detail the entire process of unlocking the mysterious space on the seventh floor of the Underground City and receiving the quest.

Mu You also lurked and observed for a bit.

According to Solomon’s description, the scenario in the engine room below City of Dawn was basically identical to what he had seen in Dawn City, the only difference being the information marked on the back of the neck of God’s Corpse.

The corpse of the God of Creation was labeled 002, unearthed about a year later than the God of Order, and was discovered by a completely different individual...

"Ding!"

Mu You was silently watching the screen when he suddenly received a private message from Solomon.

"Big God, are you online?"

"Yes, what’s up?" Mu You replied instantly.

"The historical figure you asked me to look into—I have news!"
