GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1451 Strange Demon God.

Chapter 1451 Strange Demon God.

??One might think WRATH is the most stupid demon god, but they would be wrong. The stupidity of demons with the sin of wrath is because of their inability to be more intelligent. They don't have a choice but to be stupid.

Demons with the sin of pride, on the other hand, are intentionally stupid. Demons of pride can be smarter and are very intelligent, but their sin demands that they do stupid things for pride. This way, with the right words, they can be the easiest to anger.

Demons of wrath, on the other hand, get angry quicker and easier and can be angry for much longer. It is that anger that blinds them. But anger doesn't blind a demon of pride. It certainly hasn't blinded the demon god of pride. It was able to notice that something was odd about Aeternus immediately.

For one, Aeternus had a fixed form. His form is very small, but it means that he is not an energy lifeform like normal demon gods. Secondly, it couldn't sense any sin from Aeternus. This despite the fact that it can sense Supreme Power from him. So either Aeternus is not a demon god, or it is a demon god that knows how to hide its abilities very well.

But that didn't stop PRIDE. It continued barreling towards Aeternus like an angry bull. Its divine sense smashed against him in an attempt to probe his identity.

Aeternus didn't avoid the wanton scanning of PRIDE's divine sense. It reminded him of the last time he was in the presence of a demon god. Back then, he had used soul force to protect his avatar so that the divine sense of the demon god wouldn't be able to come into contact with him and contaminate him.

He doesn't have that fear anymore. Instead, he is filled with the emotion of anticipation.

"What are you?" PRIDE asked him. "You look... strange."

The more PRIDE inspected him, the more its anger receded. Its anger was replaced with solemnity because the simple contact with its divine sense informed it that it was up against a great enemy.

That probe unearthed zero weaknesses in Aeternus's state of existence. That is very strange, because every demon god will have strengths and weaknesses. PRIDE, for example, has stronger durability, resistance, and defense, which translate into strength. But it is weak in terms of speed. But Aeternus had no obvious or observable weakness, so it sobered up.

Aeternus felt it the moment PRIDE stopped being angry. It was because PRIDE stopped broadcasting its anger for everyone to see and feel. Even so, PRIDE was still rushing towards him. There are many reasons for it, which Aeternus could only guess.

There's the possibility that PRIDE didn't want to give up, even though it lost in their first skirmish. The simple contact between them wasn't just a way to identify Aeternus's sin. It is also a way to tell how their sins would interact and which sin is weaker to the other.

It could be that PRIDE found out that its sin was weak, but it is still rushing towards him like a moth to a flame because its sin demands it. So it is being stupid intentionally.

It could also be that PRIDE became covetous of the mark of sin within him. Unlike other demon gods, he has not become one with his mark of sin yet, so it can be taken away from him. That means PRIDE can take his power if it wins this fight.

So on one side is its refusal to admit defeat, and on the other side is a tantalizing reward. Either one or both of them could be pushing PRIDE forward to continue a fight that it knows it is at a disadvantage.

Aeternus didn't wait for the demon god to reach him before taking action. He also began rushing towards the demon god. The closer he is to his prey, the better. He will be able to catch up to PRIDE if it changes its mind about the fight.

The two demon gods rushed to smash into each other. On one side is darkness. It was small, but it was gloomy, and it was spreading that gloominess into the surrounding area.

On the other side is a large ocean of golden energy, shining brightly for all to see. It is, most likely, the most beautiful thing in the abyss. The cloud also possesses a crown on its. The crown is also golden, so it matches the energy cloud beneath it.

On the side were the demon kings and demon lords, waiting with baited breath for the fight to begin. They were watching below and could see that the darkness is not a cloud. This new demon god should be small compared to other demon gods and its current enemy. But it possesses a powerful aura of corruption and darkness.

This aura spread around it to block out light and make even demon kings feel uncomfortable. The demon lords watching had also weakened. But none of them stopped watching or left. Their lives depended on witnessing this fight, so they stayed.

They stayed far away from the demon gods, but they could still see the tiny figure of the new demon god within the gloom surrounding it. What they could see of it was its horned head. Its two golden horns were shown with light that made its head visible. They could also see the white halo on its head and the two bright eyes on its face.

The demon lords and demon kings felt their hearts palpate as the two demon gods got too close to each other. Then the fighting began.

A golden whip appeared out of the golden cloud and lashed at the new demon god.

Aeternus had once been the recipient of the attack of a demon god. It was wrath that saved him from the attack back then. But this time he didn't wait for death helplessly. He retaliated with a whip of his own.
