After putting the Amulet of Original Sin into the system space, something unexpected happened to Roy!
During the system's identification, the original sin amulet was identified as a [True Spirit Container]. It was a bit special, but it didn't surprise Roy too much. However, the souls of the seven deadly sins stored in the amulet were marked as: [ Seed of Power of Law]!
Among the original sin amulets, there are currently greedy souls collected by Roy, and jealous souls collected by Fury before, so they are marked by the system as [Law Power Seed X1] and [Law Power Seed Fragment X1], which means that Roy guessed before That's right, the monitor who has been following Fury is the real seven deadly sins of jealousy. The jealous soul that Fury collected is actually just a soul fragment.
However, the souls of these seven deadly sins are not real souls, but the power of law, which surprised Roy...
Laws and laws, as the name suggests, are the code rules for the operation of heaven and earth. Logically speaking, all physical phenomena and chemical phenomena in the world can be called laws. Fire, frost, darkness, light and even time and space can actually be called laws. Yes, even things like souls can be regarded as a type of law, but the strange thing is that Roy has never seen the word "law" in the system's marking of items before.
In addition to the seven deadly sin souls obtained...
What's the point of this? Why are only the seven deadly sins defined as laws in the system
Ever since Roy learned about the function of the system, he has always felt that his system is very mysterious and powerful. The power of using the soul to create things at will once made Roy feel a little in awe, so although he did not know the origin of the system , but Roy has always believed in the system's definition of items. He knew that the system would not lie to him. Since these seven deadly sins are defined by the system as the power of laws, they are laws and there is nothing wrong with them.
Out of curiosity, Roy couldn't help but ask the system secretly in his mind: "System, what does it mean about the power of law?"
"The power of law can only be used and strengthened, and cannot be changed or destroyed. It is an inevitable derivative of creation, a necessary and sufficient condition for intelligent life to create culture and history, and the source of promoting the evolution of the world..."
The system gave a long list of explanations, which Roy couldn't understand at all, but he also understood a little.
Flames will be extinguished, ice will melt, time can be retraced and transcended, and space can also be disrupted. These seemingly truths of the universe actually have conditions that can be changed, but only the laws cannot be changed.
The Seven Deadly Sins, to put it bluntly, are representatives of negative emotions that all intelligent life has. These negative emotions are invisible and intangible, but they exist in real terms. They are as powerful as angels, demons, dragons, and as great as gods and titans. They are all impossible. Eliminate the interference of these emotions, this power is probably the only power in the universe that cannot be exempted.
And according to the systematic explanation, the power of the law may not only be negative emotions such as the seven deadly sins, but also positive emotions, such as tolerance, enthusiasm, temperance, humility, joy, love, etc. These emotions should also belong to the law. Powerful.
Throughout the historical process of all intelligent life, without exception, they are under the control of these emotional laws. Under the control of appetite, life can survive, under the control of love and sex, life can reproduce, and under the control of unity and friendship, life can survive. Under the control of people, life builds ethnic groups and countries. Under the control of anger and hatred, life produces wars. These emotional forces quietly affect all lives, making the world more colorful and affecting their lives at the same time. Every choice you make will naturally affect the evolution of the world...
If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite scary. Whether it's a human being or an angel or a demon, they always feel that they control their own thoughts, but they don't know that this idea itself is wrong. Many times, life itself is... Without realizing it, they are being affected by these emotional laws...
Roy noticed that in the system, greedy souls were only labeled as seeds of the power of law, but were not specifically classified. It seemed that the system classified all emotional power as the power of law.
Thinking of the Nightmare Eye he had set and the fear runes carved on the Wings of Frost, Roy couldn't help but ask: "The power of fear I defined is actually also a kind of power of law?"
"Yes!" the system replied affirmatively: "The application of emotional laws is actually very simple, because they are universal forces."
With such an explanation, Roy suddenly realized. Regardless of the system's definition of emotional power as the power of law, this term sounds very high-level, but it is not a higher-level power. In fact, it may not necessarily be a higher-level power. It is more advanced than elemental power and space power.
But this kind of power is the only power that cannot be changed or destroyed... This reminded Roy of the immortality novels he had read in his previous life. Perhaps this is the so-called simplicity of the road?
Gradually, Roy suddenly felt that he seemed to understand somewhat what the so-called demon kings of the seven original sins were... Could a being of that level be a demon king who could use these emotional laws to the extreme
Imagine what would happen if billions of lives in the entire world could be plunged into a state of anger? Out of anger, people will pick up the weapons at hand and kill each other day and night. All the weapons they create may be thrown on the heads of their own people, and then they will exterminate their own ethnic group...
And if people all over the world fall into the dominance of gluttony, they will eat up all the animals and plants on their planet, leaving only a bare patch of the world...
Similar scenes make people shudder just thinking about them...
"So, can I use these seeds of law power?" Roy asked the system.
"Of course, but be warned in advance, these seeds of law power are actually aggregation of some kind of emotional power, which have a very powerful influence. When you use them, you yourself will also be affected!" The system prompts Said: "Are you sure you want to use it?"
"I'll think about it again!" Roy immediately changed his tune when he heard the system remind him.
Using the power of these law seeds seems to have great side effects, and one of them is the power of greed. Roy can't imagine himself becoming the miser Grandet, so he shrinks temporarily.
Correspondingly, the use of Roy's Nightmare Eyes and Fear Rune is much safer. Although the impact of such superficial use is always limited, in the same way, such use will not have any negative impact on people. He himself causes effects and harm.
Now, Roy finally understands why the Anxious Council asked the Knights of the Apocalypse to arrest the Seven Deadly Sins. Such a power of law that cannot be completely eliminated can only find ways to limit its growth and imprison it. Otherwise, the consequences may be It's really hard to imagine.
"What's wrong with you?" Julie's voice came from next to her. She noticed that Roy suddenly stopped and was dazed for a while while walking, so she asked curiously.
By the way, this kind of curiosity is also a kind of emotion, right? Intellectual curiosity
Roy thought like this and found that he seemed to be a little obsessed. Now his mind was full of thoughts about the laws of emotions. He quickly shook his head to expel these thoughts and said to Julie: "Nothing, let's go, we have to It’s time to hurry up.”
Spreading his wings, Roy and Julie rushed to the next location where the Devil's Eyes sent the message.
Not long after they left, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared where they were.
A tall figure with a stooped body and a huge crutch appeared here. On his back, he carried a strange and huge coffin. There were two statues on the coffin, one of which was the image of an angel. , while the other statue is the image of a devil. The two statues face each other, resembling the positions of angels and devils.
This tall figure stared at the direction Roy and Julie left, speechless for a long time, and finally sighed softly and said: "There is a deviation... an unexpected demon, well, there is another one The fallen angels and the Knights of the Apocalypse actually gave them the task of capturing the Seven Deadly Sins. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?... Are they up to the task?"
After a long time, this tall figure gradually disappeared from the place, leaving only a soliloquy: "Maybe, I should continue to observe..."
