Endless Debt
Chapter 1157 - 18: Original Sin Armament 2
"It’s said that this is the first weapon ever made since the birth of humanity."
Sai Zong gazed at the crude stone weapons, then lowered his head, saying to Bologue, "The Vengeful Saw Axe is more than just a Contract Object. Rather than that overly broad term, I prefer its former categorization.
Original Sin Armament."
Bologue felt a slight sting in his mind, "I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, Sai Zong."
"It’s okay, I’ll explain it to you slowly."
Sai Zong said as he casually drew a Sharp Sword from a pile of swords, suddenly adding, "Did you know? This sword once left a scar on the Night King."
"The weapons that appear here not only represent the evolution of human warfare but also their achievements in history," Bologue whispered.
"Yes, that’s why I want to collect your weapon. I’ll definitely place it in a place of honor," Sai Zong shook his head, "Unfortunately, you’re Undead."
Sai Zong snapped his fingers, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. Bologue felt an irresistible force descend upon him, pushing him to the ground. Just as he was about to fall, an invisible chair caught him steadily.
Pale light fell, illuminating Sai Zong, who was sitting opposite Bologue.
"Every Devil represents an Original Sin, and this Original Sin is the authority they wield. I believe you have understood this clearly when facing different Protections."
Bologue nodded, eagerly awaiting the subsequent developments when it came to the secrets of the Devils.
"These Original Sins are closely linked to humans themselves, so tightly intertwined, like reflections in a mirror," Sai Zong continued, "As long as sinfulness continues to be produced, the Devils will feel satisfied, like plundering souls."
"Different Devils of Original Sin will harvest such sinfulness in ways they excel at." Bologue was clever, immediately connecting it to his past experiences.
Wandering crossways would infinitely enlarge people’s desires; Joyful Garden would promise ultimate pleasure; House of the Rising Sun had eternal indolence...
"That’s right, but some sins can be extinguished through the restraint of will, while others, like wrath, envy, and arrogance, are hard for the human heart to control. These traits seem inherent, becoming human failings. Sometimes, they don’t need to be harvested deliberately; they flood the mortal world."
Sai Zong explained methodically, "But Devils will never be satisfied. Rather than passive harvesting, they prefer active plundering."
Bologue suddenly thought of a saying, "The history of humanity is the history of war."
Sai Zong affirmed, "The sin most easily aroused by war is wrath."
These stories, Sai Zong hadn’t talked so much at once with someone for many years, let alone telling these hidden stories, his mind slightly drifting before focusing again.
"Devils wield the power of Original Sin and are driven by it, which greatly influences their personalities and preferences, which you should also have learned."
Mammon’s greed, Belphegor’s laziness, Asmodeus’s pursuit of sensory stimulation, Leviathan unknown in envying what...
"Eyes of Eternal Fury is the same, but compared to other Devils, because of his power of Original Sin, he’s obviously a very difficult person to get along with."
Talking about Eyes of Eternal Fury, Sai Zong suddenly felt a sense of ease, as if reminiscing about a bad-tempered old friend.
"To be precise, this guy cannot communicate with people at all, he is perpetually in a rage, like a wild fire on the plains, engulfing anyone or anything without restraint.
Because of this, Eyes of Eternal Fury was obviously unable to choose a Debtor. At the first glance of a mortal, the wrathful Original Sin would cause him to tear apart the living."
As Sai Zong narrated, fragmented information gradually pieced itself together in Bologue’s mind, and he began to realize the essence of the Vengeful Saw Axe and the Original Sin Armament.
The Devils are bizarre, eerie.
"He fragmented his power into many pieces, infusing them into various weapons.
The weapon as the source of sinfulness.
He scattered these Original Sin weapons across the world. Anyone who holds these weapons will gain the power of Eyes of Eternal Fury, becoming immensely strong and undefeatable in battle. They will gain honor in bloodshed and slaughter. Likewise, this power will gradually consume their sanity until they become pure killing machines.
To unleash greater fury, they will ignite wars to please Eyes of Eternal Fury."
Sai Zong’s voice grew softer, "It can be said that anyone who bears the Original Sin Armament can be seen as Eyes of Eternal Fury’s Debtor. Their slaughter, conquest, and blood sacrifices are all soul offerings to Eyes of Eternal Fury."
A flash of burning anger passed through Bologue’s mind.
"Is the Vengeful Saw Axe also an Original Sin Armament?"
Bologue chuckled at this absurd reality, "So, at the same time, I’m now also Eyes of Eternal Fury’s Debtor? Without any Blood Contract binding, simply by wielding that weapon and slaughtering, I can become his follower, his Debtor?"
It was really peculiar. The more he thought about it, the more Bologue felt something was off. Clearly, the Eyes of Eternal Fury, who incites countless wars and feeds on people’s rage, actually created the Undying Club, a land of stark contrast.
Here, there was no endless slaughter, only absolute tranquility.
