810 Heart and Trace (2/2)

”… The only possibility is that there were another seven similar space-time legendary items in this dimension, which means among those souls that got lost here, there were seven as powerful as me.

”… If it had been just one or two, possible, but all of you were too greedy. That's the biggest commonality shared by all devils!”

In fact, Lucien knew it well because he got this idea a long time ago.

”You're too arrogant. Why can't we?” Arrogance shouted. It was now only a golden light ball. ”You just got lucky!”

Jealousy, the green light ball, sneered, ”Don't celebrate too early. What can you do after this? You've triggered the true power of the primeval hell, and sooner or later, you'll be infected and become another lost soul!”

Hypocrisy also said coldly, ”There are a primeval hell and seven primeval devils in everyone's mind. You can never get rid of us! Even if you can get out this time, after what had happened, we live forever in your mind, and we'll torture you, and we'll corrupt you every second of your life. How long can you resist that? The final victory is ours!”

”I'll now turn you into a monster so full of hatred that you won't even be able to recognize yourself!” roared the devil of abhorrence.

The seven primeval devils joined again, but this time, they had changed their way of fighting. From each of them, a fine line had reached all the way to Lucien. The seven lines were in different colors!

Lucien, however, started clapping while facing the threat. ”Good point. There are a primeval hell and seven primeval devils in everyone's mind. Ever since I was born, I've been dealing with you all.”

The seven primeval devils had no idea what Lucien meant.

”I've heard a saying before. It tells us that we can only look at a person's specific motivation when he does something, but not all the thoughts he has. If not, then all the human beings in this world are corrupt…

”If we probe into a person's mind, true, it is always full of bad and filthy ideas.” Lucien smiled in a half self-mocking tone. ”I admit that I do have some shameful thoughts from time to time, but in the end, the thoughts would never come true because I've conquered them!

”Every time when I did something, I did have more or less some bad thoughts, but in the end, I defeated all of them, so I can stick to the good things that I believe in.”

Lucien looked more serious, and he said to the seven devils, ”The way I think and the belief I have all come from the many fights with you, devils. And I have always been the winner. Now, do you think I'd be afraid of you, losers?”

As he was speaking, Lucien took a step out, and his figure suddenly looked extremely tall and big. In fact, it was because the seven devils had suddenly become much smaller and shorter as they bent their backs low.

Arrogance finally realized what was going on and said furiously, ”You're arrogant, too arrogant. You've defeated us before, but that doesn't mean you always do. Your attitude will lead to your final failure!”

Hypocrisy's body started shaking fiercely after hearing Arrogance's words. Such an idiot!

Arrogance was basically telling Lucien how to defeat them!

The rest of the five devils remained silent.

...

In Lance, in a spacious underground hall at the bottom of the Bright Hall.

There was an old cross in front of the hall that had witnessed the passage of time. Apart from this, there was only a rusted candlestick.

This was the first sanctuary that the Saint Truth had during its development.

At this time, the candles suddenly lit up. The twelve grand cardinals including Saint Kati, Saint Maria, Philibell, and Astira were standing there, each in one corner.

In the middle of the hall, there was a strange three-dimensional structure that looked very different from those normal divine circles and magic circles. It was like a collection of childish scrawling.

Around the strange structure, Benedict III kept walking back and forth and checking. The rest of the grand cardinals also did the same to make sure that they wouldn't be sacrificed or devoured by it like Harex, the Lord of the Boundless Ocean.

”Ready?” Benedict III asked in the weak tone.

After multiple confirmations, the grand cardinals responded together, ”Your Holiness, we're ready!”
