522 The Infernal Queen had long seen through everything (1/2)
”Is Shi Xiaobai the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity or the inheritor of the Fate Tree?”
The Infernal Queen was bent on delivering shocking words. Her sudden oral delivery was like the exchange of blows among experts. It began with delicate probing before a killer move was suddenly used. It was like the burst of one's full internal energy as one was going for broke.
Kali's pupil constricted slightly. Her composed expression revealed a slight change. However, she quickly calmed down. She knew that the Infernal Queen knew a lot but she never expected to hear the two names from her mouth.
The reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity!
The inheritor of the Fate Tree!
The former was a mighty demonic king that could annihilate the world while the latter was one of the three holy trees that shouldered the responsibility, just like Kali, to protect the world. It was definitely not a blind guess for the Infernal Queen to be able to link a boy at the Psionic Mortal Realm with these two crucial figures. These figures could influence the world in a great, distinct manner.
The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, ”The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is a land of trials but it is also an information cocoon. The Transcendents had planned on opening the land of trials to various species so as to gather information. Through the information cocoon, every word of a trial-taker who enters the land of trials will be recorded.”
”Although I'm imprisoned in this boring prison, I was able to learn of things regarding the outside word from the human trial-takers. It naturally includes the apocalyptic calamity that trouble humans the most.”
”However, there is no general consensus regarding the Original Sin of Calamity and the Seven Deadly Sins and there are many theories. I have never figured out which is the true version but if I didn't guess wrong, that tiny black-lit person is the legendary…Gluttony, right?”
Kali puckered her lips slightly but her expression did not change. She did not give a response.
The Infernal Queen continued her monolog. ”Actually, this judgment was based on a word that appeared in your conversation with the tiny black-lit person—'Greed'. Three thousand years ago, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign had fled with grievous injuries into the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.”
”I had planned on chasing it out but it produced a treasure that I could not reject. Furthermore, it was willing to replace the old and weakened third Level Lord. Hence, it signed a perpetual slave contract with the trial's laws.”
”Therefore, I allowed it to stay behind. But now, on careful thought, the appearance of the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign happened just as the third apocalypse happened. Furthermore, it has a greedy personality and together with you and the tiny black-lit person calling it 'Greed', I made a bold assumption that the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, 'Greed'!”
The Infernal Queen seemed intent on proving her guesses though hard evidence. Hence, she said it very meticulously and patiently.
As for Kali, she was also listening patiently. She did not interrupt her midway. She only had a deadpan expression and looked at the Infernal Queen calmly. She did not comment on the Infernal Queen's deductions nor did she stop her from continuing her analysis.
The Infernal Queen naturally wouldn't stop there as she continued, ”If the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign is Greed, then in addition to the mentioning of 'Sire' and how Greed had been accused of betraying the Sire by recognizing a human as master, it can be determined that the Thousand Eye Demon sovereign is also one of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
”Furthermore, the tiny black-lit person had devoured an entire ocean on the sixth level. Such a characteristic is overly prominent so its identity is obvious. Without a doubt, it can only be…Gluttony!”
Kali sighed inwardly. The Infernal Queen was correct up to that point and there was no problem in her logic or inference. As for the information the Infernal Queen had, it came from her exchange with the tiny black-lit person at the seventh level.
Back then, she was completely focused on Shi Xiaobai and she had forgotten to shield herself from the Infernal Queen's 'ears'. The reason why the Infernal Queen had managed to guess so much was due to her negligence.
As though she had sensed the minute changes in Kali's gaze, the Infernal Queen's eyes brightened. She continued softly, ”The tiny black-lit person is Gluttony and on the surface, it appeared as though it had detected Greed's aura and infiltrated the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.”
”However, that doesn't make sense because there is a need to seal one's realm to the Psionic Mortal Realm in order to enter, making it an extremely dangerous act. There was no reason for Gluttony to take such a huge risk to find Greed. It had to be something more urgent which forced it to act in such a manner, for example,…discovering the reincarnator of the Original Sin of Calamity.”
”However, contrary to Gluttony's expectations, you had chased after it. You probably have a feud with the Original Sin of Calamity or have the responsibility of killing the Original Sin so you did not mind sealing yourself to enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.”
