บท 456: Chapter 455 "Negotiation With the Pride"

The sound made Sean's ears buzz. He looked at the giant Sean in surprise, but he didn't expect him to speak. There was an ancient feeling in the voice, but Sean could still feel a sense of familiarity.

"You can talk?" Sean poked his head out curiously.

"Normal people will only use their lowest expectation to speculate my strength," Pride replied contemptly.

Sean smiled, "I don't mind calling me normal, but you are a parasite in the body of a normal person, and you don't seem to be a strong, big man."

Pride slowly lifted his head a little, and the pupils seemed to want to put Sean in.

"How ridiculous are your thoughts? Parasitic?" Pride's chuckle shook the magma; he had always been calm and detached from the world.

Or this is his arrogant gesture, so arrogant that he will never show any emotional fluctuations when facing Sean.

Sean pursed his lips. It was a bit unexpected that he didn't get into anything. After all, Pride existed in his body. Sean had very little interaction with him. Sean's impression is that he has been thinking of various ways to occupy his body and expel his soul.

Now, when facing Sean, he hasn't changed any of his emotions.

Sean thought for a while and tried to ask, "Since you are not interested in me, then you should go away from here. How can you act like that while you're inside my body?"

Pride's voice replied, "You should be honored to have me."

"You are quite shameless."

Pride's voice brought some emotion, but it was doubt, "Isn't this the most glorious thing for a wizard? Your blood can even bear my existence, and in the future, you can be my body's host."

Sean's eyes twitched, and they knew that this topic could not be continued. He treats him completely from the perspective of a higher life, even if he is his host. To Pride, Sean is just an ant in his eyes.

Sean said angrily, "I'm not interested in experiencing such glory. Why don't you just treat me as a scum among wizards?"

Pride said, "In this case, I don't need to consider your feelings anymore. I was going to leave a name for you after waking up."

"Do I still have to thank you?"

"I don't need your thanks."

Sean completely gave up the idea of talking about parasitism with him and said straight to the point, "Does the power I have come from your Sins?"

There was a hint of puzzlement in his voice, "That's true, but how did you steal it?"

He wasn't angry, just a little puzzled and curious, by the way. Various thoughts flashed through Sean's mind. Pride is not what he imagined. He thought that he might feel angry or something like a God in a fantasy novel after his power was stolen.

But judging from his attitude, it seemed that he didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all and was simply curious.

Sean asked again, "This is Sloth, isn't it?"

Pride nodded his head, and large pieces of magma rolled down from his hair.

"It originated from the traitor."

Sean's pupils suddenly narrowed a little. Pride called Sloth a traitor?

However, in the prophecy, Pride is clearly the head of the seven deadly sins, and he leads other sins, just like Lust for Stephanie. If Sean wanted to, he could directly absorb the power of Stephanie's Lust. But now, Pride called Sloth a traitor.

"Why is he a traitor?"

Pride snorted coldly, "A traitor is a traitor."

Sean suddenly thought of the legend. In the legend, the bard has passed seven tests; the first six are all levels that symbolize some kind of sin, and Pride tests the last level, but the snake replaces him.

Is it because of that?

"You should all have lived in the Misty Land at the beginning, right? Did something happen in the Misty Land?" Sean tried to get some information.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the magma below the island fluctuated violently, and a magma column as high as tens of meters erupted, and the magma even covered Pride.

Sean was taken aback. In the beginning, in the Misty Land, did such a thing as God killing each other really happen?

The magma was still fluctuating, and Pride's eyes became more and more scarlet.

"Big man, is it because of your god..."

Before Sean finished speaking, the entire world trembled. Not only the magma but even the villa on the island and the center of the island are shaking, and the whole sky seems to be collapsing.

Sean watched this scene in shock; he grasped the railing tightly and looked at Pride in horror. Magma splashed everywhere, and a terrifying huge figure was slowly revealing its complete appearance.

Pride stood up. He has exactly the same appearance as Sean, but in the past, only one head was exposed in the magma lake.

"Is there something wrong...?" Sean murmured.

This time, he can see Pride without looking down. Pride seems to want to get closer, but there seems to be a transparent barrier between him and Sean.

As he imagined, as long as Pride is not fully awakened or negative emotions completely control his consciousness, he can't do anything to Sean. Pride knew this, too.

"That's not something you can talk about."

Sean complained in his heart and then looked at each other, "Your reaction proves my guess is God..."

Just halfway through the words, the whole world shook even more violently, and even a crack appeared in the sky.

Sean immediately stopped his question. He can now be sure that the situation just now was not caused by Pride but by what he wanted to say.

The guess of gods killing each other has now been confirmed for the most part. Even though it may not be correct, the whole matter does involve the existence of gods. However, when he discussed this conclusion with the girls, the world did not experience any changes.

Sean looked up at the crack in the sky, and an idea came to his mind. Could it be because of this world's characteristics?

His soul and where the Pride lives are part of the Misty Land, but due to the unknown situation, it seems that his world is not directly connected with Misty Land. It is separated from the Misty Land and belongs to Sean's own world.

Just like in the original book, Harry entered his own world, where he saw King's Cross Station and Dumbledore, which was Harry's world. This may be a certain characteristic of the Misty Land. Wizards cannot directly enter it, but they will enter a different world, and this different world is still part of the Misty Land, in essence.

He mentioned the matter of the gods in the Misty Land, which caused changes in the world, which may be similar to Grindelwald's awakening of the world's eyes after traveling through a hundred years.

This may also have something to do with me mentioning these things in front of Pride. He has likely experienced this situation, and Pride stays in Sean's body because of it.

Having figured this out, Sean looked at Pride again. Negative emotions surrounded him, but there was no anger in his eyes, and he just looked at Sean calmly.

"This is not something you can do, let alone something you are qualified to think about." Pride left both a warning and a reminder.

Sean thought for a while and asked, "Sloth became a traitor because of this incident, right?"

The world shook again, but the cracks did not continue. Pride did not answer but took a deep look at Sean and sank toward the magma again.

"Hey, don't run away. I'm your host; some things can't be said directly, and you could give me some hints."

Pride turned his back to Sean, "Sometimes, prying into something that you shouldn't do may cause more harm than good.

Sean became angry, "Don't play around with me; you want to replace my existence, destroy the world after waking up, and you want me to be responsible for it, and you said I should be proud of it?"

Pride sinking into the magma lake slowed down a bit, and his voice was full of anger, "It is what you should be responsible. It's the price for this retribution."

Sean didn't feel angry at Pride at all and replied, "I live a good life. I started helping my family when I was five years old. If you want revenge, go to the person who you want to take revenge directly, and don't use me as your puppet."

Pride didn't care about Sean's insults, his voice was stern and responsible, "I don't care, but you will understand that this is what you, and your world, should know later."

"It's just a matter of gods killing each other, right? Not only do I know this, but I know more."

The moment Sean said it, the world was shaking. The cracks in the sky expanded from a tiny bit to a huge gap in an instant, as if it were about to collapse. Pride turned around. He raised his hand, holding it in the sky, and the crack seemed to be held by an invisible big hand, which no longer broke and spread.

Pride's voice was full of anger. Sean grinned.

"Don't play this game with me. At least we could solve this problem together."

Pride no longer talks, just staring at Sean. He finally said, "I must remind you that this kind of thing can't be mentioned again in this world, and I can't tell you more about it later."

Sean showed a crazy smile, "Does it really matter? I'm dying because of you, and you still mention this to me?"

There was a moment of silence, "I can give you a promise. When I fully wake up and come to this world, I will not absorb your soul."

Sean snorted disdainfully, "How can I trust you?"

Pride's voice was serious, "My promise will never change, and I don't need your trust either."

Sean still maintained the madness on his face, but his heart was extremely calm. He realized one thing after discovering the changes that he would cause when he mentioned it. It's a bargaining chip that he can use against Pride].

Of course, Sean has no interest in dying in this world, but he has to bet.

He laughed in his heart and got a promise. Although he wanted more, such a way to control him now is not the right time.

Pretending to be unhappy, Sean gradually calmed down a bit.

"I hope you don't lie to me," Sean said angrily.
