Volume 7, Chapter 30 – Lucifa’s Resolve

Xingyu Muxi won the match. And as for Xingyu Muxi participating in the tournament, Tianyin only found out afterward.

But… compared to the match between Sister Xiaomu and Xiaomengyao, what Tianyin cared about more was several player IDs that she had no choice but to take seriously.

ID “Yunchou”.

And also ID “Andrew”.

“These two guys…”

Because Dawn was the “organizer”, Tianyin could directly obtain the detailed roster for the tournament.

And after finishing the roster, Tianyin couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

“Yunchou and Andrew… why are these two guys also participating in this tournament?”

To be honest, when it came to the tournament, Tianyin had originally thought that Throne-tier players like Yunchou and Andrew should be “not interested”.

But now, Andrew’s and Yunchou’s IDs had appeared on the roster anyway.

“Now this is kind of a headache… seriously, if two Throne-tiers start fighting, what am I supposed to do?”

As everyone knows, a Throne-tier’s combat power is extremely terrifying.

Just Tianyin alone, going all out, could easily shatter space in a short period of time. And if Yunchou, who was also Throne-tier, fought Andrew, then as the organizer, Dawn might end up being messed into complete chaos by those two.

“Seriously… you’re already Throne-tier, why are you still coming to join the fun!”

Complaining in a somewhat resentful voice, Tianyin dejectedly pouted her little lips, looking annoyed but also completely helpless.

“Big Sis?”

At this time, Lucifa, who had recently had almost no presence at all, suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

She still looked timid. After meeting Tianyin’s gaze, Lucifa’s eyes also dodged unnaturally, as if she felt very guilty.

Of course, Tianyin had seen Lucifa like this who knows how many times already. So she was long used to it and didn’t find it strange.

“What’s wrong? Did you need something from me?”

“Um… yes… there is something…”

Lucifa’s little hands tightly gripped the corner of her skirt, her expression extremely hesitant.

“As for Big Sis… even though I already said it last time, after thinking for so many days, I still want to… want to give the power of Pride on my body to Big Sis…”

“Hm?”

Hearing that, Tianyin paused slightly.

Then the expression on her face became especially serious.

“Give me the power of Pride? Have you thought it through, Lucifa? I already said it, if you give the power of Pride to me, I can’t guarantee your safety afterward!”

Of course, those words had been serious before. But now… they actually were no longer the truth.

Because Tianyin knew clearly that after completely controlling Lust, stripping the power of Pride from Lucifa’s body was no longer a difficult thing. But even so, Tianyin still didn’t want Lucifa’s power.

After all, no matter what, the “voluntary” Lucifa was talking about right now didn’t look voluntary at all.

That feeling was strong, and Tianyin believed in her own feeling. So if Lucifa wasn’t “voluntarily” giving the power of Pride to her, then it must be because of some reason.

“I… I know… b-but, the power of Pride is useless to me… if it’s given to Big Sis, Big Sis can wield powerful strength, but if it’s given to me… the power of Pride can only forcefully bring pain to others…”

That’s right.

Hearing Lucifa’s explanation, Tianyin instantly understood why she had felt that Lucifa wasn’t giving her the power of Pride “voluntarily”.

This wasn’t a “willing” kind of voluntary. It was that kind of feeling of wanting to throw away a burden, wanting to get rid of something she hated.

Because of the power of Pride, her mother and her father had both passed away for all kinds of reasons.

And this kind of “power” that, aside from bringing Lucifa pain, couldn’t give Lucifa any combat power at all, in the end was just a burden.

So it was only natural that she would think about giving the power of Pride to Tianyin. After all, to Lucifa herself, the power of Pride was something that could be there or not.

It couldn’t give her power, and it would hurt the people around her…

And this kind of power, no matter who it was, they would subconsciously reject it, hate it, and try to get rid of it, right?

But… if she was giving the power of Pride to Tianyin for that reason, then even though it could be understood, Tianyin still couldn’t accept it.

Because if she really thought like that, then Lucifa’s mental state was just far too “abnormal”.

“Why think that way? Why do you have to believe Pride will only bring you pain?”

Actually, Tianyin hadn’t understood these things before. But as her degree of control over the power of Lust deepened, Tianyin could now “easily” peer into the truest thoughts hidden deep within other people’s hearts.

And this ability, like the ability of Lust, was a passive ability. Even if Tianyin didn’t want to deliberately sense other people’s thoughts, she would still unconsciously notice their inner thoughts.

It could be said… even though Lust’s ability wasn’t very strong in actual combat, Lust’s strength… lay in that strange, powerful ability to peer into the human heart.

“I… I thought about it for a long time…”

Facing Tianyin’s questioning gaze, a nervous look appeared on Lucifa’s face.

“Big Sis, when we faced the Black Dragon King before, I thought I could help Big Sis… but in the end, I became a burden out of nowhere… and even in the past, the power of Pride even made my mother leave…”

“This kind of power is useless to me in the first place. And to Big Sis… I… my usefulness is actually just the Original Sin power in my body, right?”

“Right… actually, I should’ve known long ago… before, when Big Sis came looking for me, your real purpose, wasn’t it Pride…”

“Actually Big Sis already wanted the power of Pride, right? But because I existed, Big Sis gave up on that idea… but, but, I don’t want to become an obstacle to Big Sis because of me…”

By the end, Lucifa’s expression, which had been extremely tense just a moment ago, grew even more serious.

“I want to help Big Sis… I don’t want to become Big Sis’ burden… whether it’s Sister Xiaomu, or Xiaomengyao… they can all help Sister. But I… I can’t do anything at all besides being protected by Big Sis…”

‘Can’t do anything at all.’

After listening to Lucifa’s words, Tianyin fell silent for once.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know what to say, but because she felt that the “feelings” contained in Lucifa’s words were far too heavy.

Wanting to help her… not wanting to become her burden.

Because of that way of thinking, plus her own extreme disgust and rejection toward Original Sin power itself.

And all of that was every reason that made Lucifa steel her resolve to hand the power of Pride over to her.
