Volume 8, Chapter 37 – More People Than You?

The battle was still continuing.

The victor had not been decided immediately. The clash between Tianyin and the Abyssal Lord, two Throne-tier existences, had already become a battle that mortals could not see clearly.

Mortals could not reach Throne-tier, just like the vast chasm between mortals and gods.

And for Tianyin, fighting the Abyssal Lord was the most difficult battle she had ever faced in her entire existence. Without exception.

One had to know that the power of Original Sin Tianyin possessed was not just a single ability.

Wrath could multiply her combat power to an absurd level far beyond her own limits.

Gluttony could deal damage directly to the Abyssal Lord’s soul, and could even devour the Abyssal Lord’s power for her own use.

The damage caused by Greed was usually irreparable at its root, but when it came to the Abyssal Lord, no matter what kind of damage it was, she could completely restore it.

The number of skills Tianyin had copied through Envy was countless. But these strange and varied skills, or even those with overwhelming power, although they prevented the Abyssal Lord from gaining an advantage, were still far from enough.

As for the power of Sloth, Tianyin had previously believed that it only limited others from coming into contact with her Original Sin state. But in reality, Sloth had another form of enhancement.

That was immunity to death.

Yes, Sloth meant immortality. Although Sloth had no combat power at all, it granted Tianyin a trait of never being able to die.

Even if her HP was forcibly reduced to zero, Tianyin could still forcibly recover from zero HP back to one.

And that was exactly why earlier the Abyssal Lord had clearly killed Tianyin, yet Tianyin had inexplicably revived.

Because the Sloth within Tianyin’s Original Sin power made it impossible for her to die no matter what.

Lust allowed Tianyin to see through the Abyssal Lord’s inner thoughts. Although this could be used to perceive the Abyssal Lord’s combat intentions, the Abyssal Lord’s mind was chaotic and mad. So in order not to affect herself, Tianyin gave up on using Lust to peek at the Abyssal Lord’s heart.

And lastly, there was Pride among the Original Sins. Pride’s ability was very simple. It forcibly weakened the Abyssal Lord’s maximum HP. This ability was undoubtedly fatal to ordinary existences.

But for the Abyssal Lord, maximum HP could not determine her life or death at all.

Moreover, reducing maximum HP was not Pride’s true ability. Pride’s true ability was that other state of Tianyin.

More precisely, it was that strange state where rules could be manipulated. Even Tianyin herself could not describe this state. She clearly retained all her previous memories, yet in that state, she felt as if she had become a completely different person.

Yes, in Tianyin’s own view, Pride’s ability was a change in personality.

And now, the one truly fighting the Abyssal Lord was the Pride personality.

High in the sky, countless void rifts had already spread everywhere.

The battle between the Abyssal Lord and Tianyin continued unabated.

Tianyin knew that her chances of taking down the Abyssal Lord were already extremely low. But sensing the battle taking place below at the Northern Fortress, Tianyin also understood that she absolutely could not continue to be entangled with the Abyssal Lord here.

Inner emptiness did not mean that Tianyin could not think. Precisely because her heart held no anxious emotions, she could think about the next course of action with the most rational and calm mind possible.

“Hahahahahahaha, you dare to get distracted in front of me?”

While Tianyin was thinking, the Abyssal Lord’s wild laughter sounded by her ear. And at that moment, when Tianyin reacted, she saw that the Abyssal Lord’s figure had already appeared before her at some unknown point in time.

The next instant—

Bang—!

A sound of the body reaching its limit rang out. With just a single strike from the Abyssal Lord, Tianyin felt as if all her internal organs had been shattered.

Every bone in her body was shattered as well. Although Tianyin felt the intense pain coming from her body immediately, under the influence of the Pride personality, she was so calm that she did not even let out an instinctive scream.

Using the force carried by the Abyssal Lord’s attack, Tianyin rapidly retreated backward. And while retreating, her seemingly irreparable injuries were healing at astonishing speed.

“Was a bit careless…”

When Tianyin stopped retreating, the injuries that had nearly reduced her to minced flesh instantly recovered. It had to be said that among the Original Sins, aside from the bizarre Pride, the ability of Sloth that made her unable to die was truly too bugged.

“Not dead? How is that possible? Why won’t you die? I can remain undying because I possess Abyssal power, but you don’t have Abyssal power. How are you maintaining immortality?”

Tianyin’s state caused the Abyssal Lord to fall into deep doubt.

“Impossible… impossible, impossible, impossible! How could that be!”

To be fair, Tianyin’s bizarre abilities were simply far too many.

First, she could wield the power of rules.

Then she could use skills from all kinds of different systems and professions.

On top of that, Tianyin even seemed to possess a power similar to her own, something close to immortality.

So was the power of Original Sin even stronger than Abyssal power?

Regarding this, the Abyssal Lord felt deep skepticism.

And while Tianyin and the Abyssal Lord were in a brief aerial standstill, from afar, a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens suddenly resounded.

“Roar—”

As the sound reached her ears, Tianyin subconsciously looked over. Then she saw a familiar figure she had not seen in a long time.

An ice giant dragon with a colossal body that blotted out the sky, with flames of the soul slowly burning within its eyes.

That was the Frost Dragon Ysera.

And to Tianyin, Ysera had another name.

“Bingxue…”

That’s right. The one who arrived was none other than Xiaobingxue, who had previously left Dawn and returned to the Graveyard to inherit the position of Undead Grand Duke.

And now, as the second-generation Undead Grand Duke, Xiaobingxue did not come alone to support Tianyin. Behind her enormous body, a densely packed, seemingly endless sea of undead was also surging forward.

Speaking of Inferno, no one in the world who claimed to understand demons the most would dare say how many demons Inferno truly had.

At the very least, on the battlefield of the Northern Fortress, the number of demons far exceeded the number of troops from Dawn.

It could be said that even if all the faction armies of the Main World were added together, they might still be fewer than the demons of Inferno.

But if it was a matter of numbers, then in this world, only the Graveyard, which had once single-handedly challenged the other Seven Great Factions, could be said to be the one force that did not fear Inferno in terms of military strength.

Inferno has more demons, is that it?

Then take a look at this skeleton sea—
