With the baptism of the Nightmare Hydra, Seven Sins let loose a terrifying buzz of origin force. It roared with power, thirsty for the blood of beings of law.

The weapon that Leylin had devoted hundreds of years to finally reared its head, showing off its viciousness to the world.
âHaha⌠Good abilities, I like it!â Leylin grasped Seven Sins with both hands, and the weapon buzzed in harmony as it revealed a swordâs blade.
âThis⌠Overgod weapon!â The Archdevils gasped in fright, looking at the weaponâs splendour with fear.
âIndeed. Your blood shall become its power!â Leylinâs eyes were filled with indifference as he appeared before Samuel, the Lord of Wrath who ruled the Fourth Hell.
âDamn it⌠What have you done to my land?â Samuel roared in rage. His strength increased in the midst of his fury, flames howling forth from Phlegethos as a massive wave of origin force surged into him.
âYou may be an Archdevil, but the origin force of just one level of Baator will not protect you from my weaponâs terror.â Leylin swung the massive sword without fear, the weapon buzzing violently as phantoms of Dreamscape and the Shadow World took form behind it. The rage of two large worlds immediately shattered the phantom of Phlegethos behind Samuelâs back.
âHaha⌠Seven Sins was baptised with the origin force of two large worlds in its creation. What can a mere ninth of the origin force of Baator do to it?â Leylin was laughing like a maniac, the huge sword easily sweeping away the surging flames to sever Samuelâs right hand. At the same time, it left a deep gash on his chest.
âARGH⌠â Samuel screamed in agony, not daring to face Leylin directly anymore as he retreated. A being of law, an Archdevil, had been severely injured and sent into retreat in a single strike.
How would Leylin give up on such an opportunity? âCome back!â he howled, Seven Sins transforming into a bladed chain with a black hook at the end. It hooked onto Samuel, culling him back.
âBlessing of Greed!â Seven Sins transformed continually, becoming a horned hammer. With the Blessing of Greed and two large worlds backing it, it immediately crashed down Samuelâs head.
The overwhelming attack caused Samuel to finally feel despair. He lost all confidence and dignity, beginnign to plead for help from the other lords, âQUICK, SAVE ME!â
âStop him! Heâll become harder to stop if he gets Samuelâs powers!â Everything had happened too quickly. A Lord of Baator had been defeated in almost an instant, and even Asmodeus didnât have the time to react. By the time he moved together with the others to surround LeylinâŚ
âA pity⌠Itâs too late!â Leylin laughed loudly, a layer of origin force melting off from Seven Sins to cover his entire body in armour. With that protection and his own might as a rank 8 Warlock, he had no fear of the devilsâ attacks.
âCry, scream! Your resentment and anger shall become my power. Even Asmodeus wonât be able to save you nowâŚâ
Asmodeus was indeed a crafty old devil. He was much more powerful than the rest, his blazing fists breaking through Leylinâs defenses. However, Leylin was still a step ahead. Even if he was injured by hellfire the hammer continued to smash down.
*BOOM!* Phelegethos seemed to freeze in that moment. The other Archdevils cursed, screamed, and roared in rage as one of their own fell to Leylin in front of their eyes!
Leylin didnât care about all that, however. He was focused on the A.I. Chipâs notifications.
[Beep! Host has killed Samuel. Seven Sins has activated Gluttonyâs Devouring, absorbing new law⌠Law of wrath currently at 100%.]
*Hss!* The Nightmare Hydra behind Leylin hissed loudly as another head materialised from its neck. It absorbed all of the fury in the astral plane, quickly healing itself of its injuries.
[Beep! Host has comprehended the law of wrath, Seven Sins has gained the Fury Amplification ability.
Fury Amplification: The user can double their stats by consuming the powers of wrath.]
âIt really is great to battle devils! I can get stronger and gain more abilities as I kill themâŚâ Leylin was extremely elated by the acquisition. He immediately activated the new ability.
*Rumble!* Asmodeus felt Leylinâs strength doubling in an instant as it pulsed with fury. The Archdevils were immediately pushed back.
âSamuelâs strength⌠You absorbed it so quickly?â Glasya cried out in shock. The other Archdevils, including even the haughty Levistus, turned pale. How could they deal with an enemy that got stronger the more he fought?
âNo! Heâs only putting on a strong front. Even a greater god canât escape our combined attack without injuries, heâs nothing!â Asmodeus was indeed a sly old devil. He saw through Leylinâs disguise immediately, âLetâs attack together! Weâll be able to take him out.â
âI am indeed injuredâŚâ Leylinâs broken armour merged back to form Seven Sins, and the weapon grew in size. âBut before I die, how many of you will pay the price and join me in death? Is it two of you? Maybe three?â
Leylin mocking gaze swept past Levistus, Mephistopheles and Baalzebul, causing their expressions to change. Even average humans would double guess themselves in a time of death, let alone these powerful devils.
Asmodeus almost vomited blood at this. Even now Leylin hadnât forgotten to pick at their natural disposition. With him and his daughter being together, the ones being sacrificed would most likely be the other three. They wouldnât want to die just like that.
The other lords began to have second thoughts, exposing the fatal flaw of their unreliable alliance. With this thought in the back of their minds as they faced powerful opponents, Leylin could even turn the tides and corner him instead!
âDamn it! Letâs retreat!â Asmodeus said as he looked at the evident mistrust in the eyes of his âallies.â He seethed with fury, but all his preparations had come to naught and he had no choice but to retreat.
The other Archdevils retreated as well. Seeing the divine light from Leylinâs clone covering the entirety of Phlegethos, they felt extremely humiliated.
The Lords had spent decades and sacrificed countless life to besiege Leylinâs kingdom. The result? Theyâd ended up suffering devastating losses. Forget conquering Leylin, theyâd even given him the Fourth Hell now. Snot dripped from their noses as they cried in shame and agony.
âLeave now! Itâll be too late when his divine kingdom covers this area!â Levistus transmitted to his subordinates. As the Lord of the Fifth Hell, he was the most affected by Leylinâs actions. He would be Leylinâs next target, and this Magus was more fearsome than Kukulkan, and much harder to deal with.
âNot you.â Levistus had never thought a single sentence would crush all his hopes. Heâd only been slower than the rest by a beat, but Leylin caught up to him immediately. The razor sharp blade of Seven Sins was pointed at him, carrying the power of death.
âDivine abilityâ Deathâs Decree!â Leylin didnât even attack him. Levistusâ consciousness just⌠stopped in an instant.
Powered by the laws of death and massacre, Deathâs Decree was an ability that grew with its wielder. With Leylin now being a rank 8 Warlock, he was at the peak of intermediate gods, rank 17. Levistus was a peak lesser god at the most, and with the sheer difference in power he was incapacitated at once.
