Volume 7, Chapter 39 – Epilogue: Pride Returns, The Mutation of Reality

In the quiet room, two unbelievably cute little girls sat facing each other.

One of the little girls had beautiful silver white long hair, wearing a white dress that was about the same silver as her hair, and a pair of eyes as beautiful as art stared at the other little girl in front of her.

As for the other little girl, setting aside the fact that her looks were already very cute, just the aura she gave off from head to toe made people feel an extremely, extremely “weak” vibe.

Her nonthreatening eyes would instinctively keep dodging away when they met the silver-haired little girl’s gaze.

Of course, this kind of little girl was also very adorable, so adorable it felt like she would cry for a long time if you punched her even once.

“Are you ready?”

After a long while, the silver-haired little girl parted her cherry lips, her tone serious and earnest.

And as the silver-haired little girl’s voice sounded, the weak little girl pinched the corner of her skirt with her tiny hands and nodded seriously.

“Muu… I’m r-ready… Big Sis…”

“Mm, it’s best to prepare yourself mentally first, since even for me this is the first time, so I don’t really know the limits when doing this… If I end up hurting you, then that would be Big Sis’s fault…”

“H-H-How could that be. If it’s Big Sis, I absolutely won’t blame Big Sis. Big Sis treats me so well, even if Big Sis accidentally hurts me, I won’t blame Big Sis!”

Looking at the weak little girl’s serious expression, the silver-haired little girl smiled and gently rubbed the weak little girl’s hair.

“Honestly, Lucifa, what silly things are you saying? If I hurt Lucifa, as your Big Sis I’ll feel guilty, you know, because Lucifa is also a very, very important family member to me.”

“So when it hurts, just say it, okay?”

Lucifa really wanted to refute those words, but when she saw the unquestionable meaning in the eyes watching her, she finally behaved and agreed.

Of course, it was only a verbal agreement. In reality, even if her silver-haired Big Sis hurt her, Lucifa still wouldn’t blame her Big Sis for it.

“As long as you understand. Since you’re ready, then we’ll start stripping away Pride.”

“Mm-mhm…”

As the silver-haired little girl… that is, Tianyin’s voice fell, the matter of stripping away Pride finally began.

……

Drip…

Drip…

This was a laboratory brimming with a strong sense of technology.

The walls of the laboratory were cast from a special alloy filled with metallic texture. And inside the laboratory, countless researchers wearing protective suits each performed their own duties, watching their stations.

And at the very center of the laboratory, a gigantic sphere of light floated there in midair.

The gigantic sphere of light floated quietly in the air like that, then silently rotated.

Then suddenly, the gentle white light spreading across the surface of the gigantic sphere of light began to become blinding. The usual white light gradually started shifting toward a blood red color.

“The Hub’s status is abnormal!”

“Hub mutation!”

“Unknown error in Hub data, status chaotic!”

“…”

A series of reports rang out in the laboratory like bamboo shoots after the rain. And as these reports appeared, a piercing, shrill alarm also sounded in the laboratory.

“What’s going on? What happened to the Hub?”

As the laboratory mutation occurred, the leader responsible for the laboratory walked into the laboratory.

The moment he arrived in the laboratory, this leader asked for the cause of the matter with a face full of dark lines.

“W-We don’t know, the Hub suddenly mutated, all instruments monitoring the Hub have completely failed…”

Facing the leader’s question, a nearby researcher reported the problem that had occurred in the laboratory.

And after receiving this answer, the leader’s expression instantly turned iron blue.

“Failed? Are you kidding me? Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Whether the Hub is normal or not concerns the entire Ascension Plan! Do you know that if the Hub can’t be controlled, people like us will be sinners of all mankind!”

Hearing the leader’s words that seemed somewhat exaggerated, this researcher immediately became nervous.

“Yes… we’re adjusting and investigating the cause right now… Although this is the first time this situation has happened, relying on current technology and the scientific quality of the researchers in our laboratory, after some time the Hub will probably return to normal!”

“Probably? Are you saying there’s still a chance it won’t return to normal?”

The leader of the laboratory quickly caught the other meaning hidden in the researcher’s words.

“I didn’t come here to hear the word probably, I want a 100% repair of the Hub’s mutation problem! Understand?”

“The Hub’s normal state can’t wait! Right now, immediately, at once. I want to see the Hub return to normal immediately!”

“I…”

The researcher wanted to cry but had no way to say it, yet as someone with no power he couldn’t resist the leader’s words. So after hesitating for a few seconds, he could only steel himself and nod.

“Understood, we will definitely fix the Hub’s problem!”

Of course, even though he said that, a researcher who knew how mysterious the Hub was actually had no confidence at all. After all, he had been in this laboratory for some years now, and among the researchers in the laboratory, every single one was an outstanding, famous, high IQ talent in the scientific field.

But even though this laboratory had the world’s top scientific personnel configuration, and they had expended countless days and nights of effort, there was still no one who could figure out this “Hub’s” other functions.

And as for the Hub’s sudden mutation, it was also the first time they had encountered it in all this time.

“Seriously, easy for you to say…”

After quietly complaining about the leader, this researcher planned to rein in his focus and return to his station.

However, at this very moment, the gigantic floating sphere of light that had just been blooming with blood colored light restored to its previous normal appearance.

“It’s r-restored to normal…”

“All instruments have recovered too, we can monitor the Hub again…”

“A miracle! This is a miracle!”

Among them, quite a few researchers let out voices of amazement.

And as the sphere of light returned to normal, the leader responsible for the laboratory also left the laboratory. And the laboratory that had just looked a little panicked and chaotic returned once more to the orderly state from before, with all the researchers each performing their own duties.

As if the mutation just now had never happened at all.

And as for that enormous sphere of light floating in the air.

If Tianyin were present…

She would definitely discover that the appearance of this sphere of light was extremely similar to the System Light Orb in her memories!

Translator Note

Uwahh~ That’s the end of Volume 7~!

The secret behind the System has been revealed a bit?!

And Tianyin has finally completed the Seven Deadly Sins~! It’s kinda regrettable that there’s no interaction details about how Tianyin asked Lucifa to obtain the Pride, though… Although Tianyin had decided to take it, it was after all, just inside her mind/narratives… So, it feels weird that Tianyin suddenly took the Pride after the previous conversation that Tianyin refused Lucifa…

But well, it is what it is~

There are 2 volumes remaining~! About… 100 more chapters in total, I think?

Anyway~! The next volume is about the little girl from Inferno, Abyssal Lord~!
