169 Pride (1/2)

”Foolish apes, how dare you despise my existence, I am the omniscient magic mirror.”

”Is that so? What's the answer for 1692321 times 768392, answer that in 3 seconds!”

”Ten trillion and three hundred billion three hundred and sixty-five million nine hundred and seventeen thousand eight hundred and thirty-two. Impressed, kid? You thought that my almighty creator will forget to equip me with a calculator?”

After hearing that, the silver-haired muscular guy was stunned, but he did not answer, he was still counting.

”... Let's assume that you are correct, let me tell you, it's not because I can't calculate it out, father taught me multiplications before.”

Just from the looks, this good looking muscular guy was behaving like a living hero from a classic mythology, he was tall and fit, thickly built and had delicate features on the face… Well, this may be contradictory, but isn't there something strange known as Lee Gou Dan[1] in this world?

”Now, the next question, besides my dad who is the most beautiful in this world.”

”Of course it is you, our honourable Lord Omar, your beauty comes only after Lord Roland.”

”Haha, you are really very honest, I kinda like you now. Have you eaten lunch yet? Want to have it together later?”

”Haha, although you are exceptionally handsome, seems like there is something wrong with your head. I am a mirror, how am I going to eat?”

Looking at the half naked thick built guy who was counting his fingers, while making various bodybuilding posture facing the mirror caused Lionheart to feel nauseous even though he did not possess a stomach anymore.

”... This… is just a perfect match. I'm impressed of King Roland, just a small present and he managed to tame this stubborn Omar.”

That muscular body shone with an oily gloss, but then the face had the delicate features of a cute girl, furthermore, it was seventy percent alike to Roland, in a sense, Omar's existence was the dark past of Roland.

Yes, the ”Lee Gou Dan” before the eyes was the Pride of Seven Deadly Sins. It couldn't be blamed that he looked like this.

Roland used the standard template of Undeads to create his own Seven Deadly Sins, Envy and Gluttony were made using sewed-up abomination as a base, while Pride from the Seven Deadly Sins was the same as Greed, a mutated spirit based on Banshee.

According to the initial design, he was an artificial soul who had no face, body nor gender, but as he grew, surprisingly he selected this as his appearance. Actually, it was caused by Roland who talked nonsense during his birth.

”As a man, only a muscular body is the true beauty.”

Well, as a result, the muddled Pride viewed it as his gospel. And as the instinct of every life sees the mother as the most beautiful existence, without any doubt he used the face of Roland, and as everyone knew, Roland died too young, and the portraits he left was mainly from 11 to 12 years old. And in the end, this is how a child with aesthetic deviation was born.

Originally, if there were some slight misunderstandings, it was still possible to rectify, but in those years Roland was too busy (busy to start a war), Omar would not listen to others, and as a result it got worse and worse, and finally ended up being the most beautiful form of himself.

Parents understood more than the children themselves. Nobody understood Omar more than Roland, that was why by customising a flattery magic mirror, he could easily manipulate the few year old child.

Yes, only a few years old, only after a few years from birth he got sealed for rebelling, and during the sealed period he did not age. When he was released, his temper was just same as he was before sealed.

While the civil war of Xiluo ended, as the only victor, it seemed that Omar would be in control of this country very soon, and with his ability, he would bring this country and himself to greatness.

The ability of Pride, Omar? Actually, it would be very complicated to explain that, it was actually a very peculiar ability system, not only a sole ability.

”Pride” originated from different levels, based on the understanding of Roland, as a superior that dominated the life and death of the inferior, they often did not reason with the inferiors, thinking that they can look down on the inferior like ants from above, this was the root cause of how Pride became one of the Original Sins.

There were ranks for Undeads too. If so, wasn't it possible to create an innate ruler of the dead who was born with the ability to rule over the immortal Undeads?

Undoubtedly this was a queer topic, but Roland got his inspiration from the natural domination of queen bee and queen ant. They used a peculiar pheromone to build a network and used an intriguing method to take control of the whole group, causing the group to be dedicated to sacrifice themselves for their queen, even until death.

And the reason of selecting banshees as the standard template was because banshee was the few rare spirits which did not have low levels of existence, and the fact that they were composed by pure spirits was also very suitable to create a spiritual network.

In the end, the final result of the research was Omar, he was the only one who did not use any additional materials, a Undead entirely created by Roland himself, in a sense, calling Roland as father was not wrong at all.

”The Highest Authority of the Dark Prince”, this was what the combination ability of Omar was called. He could use the Undeads under him to construct a spiritual network to exchange information constantly, and as the supreme power of the network administrator, he could control every Undead under him.

This is the only ability of Omar, it did not sound so powerful, but it was unexpectedly powerful when used.

Low level Undeads did not have any intelligence, while he could grant them fake intelligence, in a battlefield, he was like an invisible hand of command, which could even command the Undead under him to perform minor movements, such as moving the fingers slightly. To gain consciousness, a normal Undead needed to be at least silver ranked, while he could let countless Undeads to possess fake consciousness, it could be said that under his control, the battle power of low level Undeads which was only capable to be used as cannon fodder will at least be tripled.

And this was just the beginning, Omar's powers were not that simple.

Spirit is power, the spirit of low level and high level Undeads will be connected to the Undead network, and how would someone such as him, who controls other Undead spirits, be weak?
