"The Seven Original Sin Gods, you've all arrived today."
Tang San's azure eyes rippled with waves, and his usually smiling face was shrouded in an inescapable gloom.
The God of Pride was stronger than he had imagined. Even when caught off guard and attacked with all his might, he had managed to exchange a blow with him, and was only seriously injured.
Now that all seven Original Sin Gods were gathered, the situation was becoming somewhat difficult.
The Sea God's divine position was strong, but not enough to fight seven Original Sin Gods single-handedly.
He was starting to have second thoughts.
"Don't be a coward, Tang San never backs down!"
"Are you still Tang San? If you can't handle it, give me your body, I'll take over."
"The Original Sin Gods are practically shitting on your head, and you're still hesitating here?"
"Don't embarrass us!"
Tang San Number One, always eager for a good show, deliberately stirred things up.
He most wanted Tang San's main consciousness to clash with the Original Sin Gods.
Ideally, the fight should end in mutual destruction.
That way, he might be able to seize the opportunity and forcibly absorb Tang San's consciousness as his new dominant consciousness.
He had it all planned out. Once Tang San and the God of Original Sin were fighting, he would secretly cause trouble, using his partial control over the Sea God's position to incite turmoil within the divine hierarchy.
Combined with the attack from the God of Original Sin outside, he would deliver a devastating blow to Tang San's dominant consciousness.
Although this might cause the Sea God's position to shatter, Tang San Number One considered it a necessary sacrifice.
He needed to reclaim his body first; at worst, he could relinquish the Sea God's position and directly become the God of Asura.
He could bear this price.
"Exactly, exactly."
"We've all been harmed by them, and we're just going to let it go like this?"
"You're such a coward. If Xiao Wu knew Tang San was such a wimp, we'd rather have been scalded to death by Father's hot porridge."
"Hmph, even if I could only control my corpus cavernosum, I'd still dare to fight these newbies!
As the Tang Sect Leader!
Have you forgotten the teachings of the Xuan Tian Treasure Record?"
"Since we've already determined they're enemies, let's not hold back!
Otherwise, we'll only bring trouble upon ourselves!"
"As the main consciousness, you're really getting more and more foolish!"
The other consciousnesses also began to fan the flames, happy to watch the main consciousness Tang San clash with the God of Original Sin.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and naturally, they couldn't agree to Tang San backing down.
Moreover, seeking revenge against the God of Original Sin was originally Tang San's own idea.
Once you take the first step, the path ahead is no longer up to you.
Tang San immediately felt the eight consciousnesses beginning to affect his body, and he felt like vomiting blood.
He had shot himself in the foot; this time, his stubbornness had backfired, leaving him trapped on both ends.
Taking a step forward meant fighting the Seven Original Sin Gods; taking a step back… there was no way to retreat! These suicidal bastards wouldn't let him leave!
He could sense that Tang San Number Two and Tang San Number Four had already joined forces to connect with the Sea God's position, drawing out all the mental power accumulated within by converting the faith of the lower realm—clearly intending for him to fight.
"Damn it!"
Tang San cursed angrily, but the Seven Original Sin Gods outside thought he was cursing them.
A tall, thin man, his body shimmering with a dark orange light, his eyes burning with flames, emanated a sudden rage from anyone who met his gaze.
"Sea God!"
"What have you done?!"
"You attacked Pride in the Original Sin Forest for no reason! Do you think we're made of clay?!"
The God of Wrath roared at Tang San in the sky, his divine power erupting like a volcano, a grotesque and furious phantom face appearing behind him.
The God of Desire had already helped Pride recover from some of his injuries.
Healing wasn't her forte, but it was enough to barely restore Pride's fighting ability.
Standing beside Pride, the God of Greed adjusted his glasses, his gaze cold and hostile, his voice sharp.
"The Destruction Faction and the Sea God Faction have indeed always been at odds, but attacking a Pride God with a divine position doesn't conform to the rules of the God Realm, does it?"
"Do you think we're easy to bully?"
"Want to see if our swords are sharp enough?"
Tang San was now red-faced, not only because of the influence of his inner consciousness, but also because he was enraged by the shamelessness of these Pride Gods.
In his view, his current predicament was all thanks to these Pride Gods, and these guys not only refused to admit it but also turned the tables on him!
He felt a little wronged.
"Fine!"
"As expected of the God of Original Sin, indeed eloquent."
"My halberd has also proven effective!"
Tang San completely suppressed his retreat, his anger blazing as he raised the Trident of the Sea God, aiming it at the seven Gods of Original Sin below.
Today, no matter what, he would make these Gods of Original Sin pay the price!
The tranquility on the battlefield didn't last long. Tang San struck first.
Having mastered the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, he knew that striking first against a powerful enemy was the optimal strategy!
The Trident of the Sea God swung in the air, several golden clouds of light shrouding the sky.
Beneath these clouds, time seemed to distort, and all the Gods of Original Sin felt as if countless years had passed.
The Thousand Years of Void was a rare time-manipulation technique in the God Realm, a unique inheritance of the old Sea God.
Tang San, after inheriting it, only knew how to use it but not why; he could use it but didn't understand it.
"God said! Pride!"
"God spoke! Greed!"
"God spoke! Wrath!"
The dark blue face of arrogance, the dark gold face of greed, and the dark orange face of wrath overlapped, forming a massive illusory face, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, carrying the three original sins to meet the descending golden cloud of light.
The power of time and the power of the ocean intertwined with the three original sins, causing spatial rifts to appear throughout the sky. Spatial turbulence surged from these rifts, only to be filled by the colliding divine power, then torn apart again, repeating this cycle.
The God of Greed seized the opportunity, opening his mouth, his tongue like a spring, gathering strength before suddenly shooting out!
His tongue was his proud weapon, more effective than any divine artifact in his eyes.
The long tongue transformed into dark gold, tearing through the illusory face and the golden cloud of light like a hot knife through butter, striking Tang San in the chest before he could react.
The Sea God Armor shattered instantly, sending him flying backward.
The Sea God Trident flew from his hand, and even the Thousand Years of Void could not be maintained.
The illusory face enveloped Tang San's entire body.
"Pfft!"
Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widening suddenly, his face turning pale.
This attack had seriously injured him; the Greedy God Power had also triggered the remaining Arrogance God Power within him, injuring his soul again.
Fortunately, this time it didn't crack. "It's been a long time since I've been this disheveled."
Tang San laughed instead of being angry, a maniacal smile on his face.
Since his battle with the Rakshasa God and the Angel God, he hadn't been injured in a long time.
After becoming an enforcer of the God Realm, which god wasn't respectful to him?
Today, he finally felt a bit of his former self again.
"Never to return!"
Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, the Trident of the Sea God automatically returned to his hand.
Then, his figure moved across the land like a ghost, layers of illusory waves overlapping and covering the head of the Original Sin God.
The God of Pride shattered layer upon layer of waves, exclaiming,
"This is bad!"
"The power of these waves is increasing with each one, like they're stacking!"
The God of Desire's dark red divine power transformed into cubes, working with the other Gods of Original Sin to tear apart the layers of waves.
She seemed to have thought of something and said,
"I think I know." "
There's a technique in Douluo Continent called the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which can stack power layer upon layer.
The Sea God must have incorporated this technique into his divine power."
The God of Sloth yawned slightly and said,
"So why explain so much?"
"Why don't we just tear it apart together?"
"In the end, you're just a first-level god."
The God of Gluttony opened his mouth wide, inhaled sharply, sucking all the illusory waves into his stomach, then burped and said,
"Not tasty."
"Why go through all that trouble?"
"I'll just eat them."
Without the waves to conceal his form, Tang San was exposed before the seven Gods of Original Sin, but he had also prepared the "Never Return" technique from the Golden Thirteen Halberds.
A golden light flashed across the battlefield. The God of Pride, eyes wide, cried out,
"Watch out!"
Caught off guard, the God of Desire was pierced through by the golden light, dark red blood dripping onto the ground.
The God of Desire looked stunned, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
The God of Greed immediately flicked out his long tongue, sending Tang San flying and crashing into a distant mountain peak.
"I...I'm injured."
"This is pain..."
"Hahaha, I'll kill him!!"
The God of Desire's pupils trembled, her divine power quickly sealing the wound. The woman instantly descended into madness.
"God says! Desire is original sin!"
The face of desire appeared in mid-air, revealing a seductive expression, her eyes radiating a pink light.
Under this light, even the most resolute male god would succumb.
Dark red light shot out without warning, the divine power of desire igniting the immortal energy, causing the surrounding earth to spontaneously combust in flames of desire.
Tang San steadied himself, the main blade of the Sea God's Trident emitting azure light.
Then, Tang San swung the halberd, unleashing a blue blade of light.
Just as the blade was about to collide with the dark red laser, a figure suddenly appeared on the side of the battlefield.
It was Xiao Wu, looking worried. She wasn't far from the center of the energy collision.
If she were caught in the blast, she'd probably be in deep trouble.
"Caw, Xiao Wu!!"
Tang San immediately noticed Xiao Wu and let out a shriek, rushing towards her.
