Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-244

A level of power that was not accessible to Noah before could be felt coursing throughout his body as he reveled in the form provided by the [Arch Demon Lord Transformation] ability of the <<Absolute Sin>> skill.

He had only ever felt power of this level from the Grand Elder Amos and the Black Serpent that he had yet to meet in this current time! Power above the Transcendent level; he was actually letting out strength at the Saint rank through his own power when his attributes and skills were only at the Transcendent level!

This was the insane boost provided by the complementing skills of the Seven Deadly Sins that made way for the creation of Absolute Sin. It granted him an ability that allowed him to achieve power of the next stage, something marvelous that he never thought to be possible. Noah spent some time familiarizing himself with the many new descriptions that came with the addition of five more seven deadly sins on top of <<Absolute Sin>> as his eyes landed on a particular ability that shone the most.

[Harbinger of Sin] :: As the Original and Absolute Sin, the user can appoint each sin to a person, making that person a harbinger of that sin, giving them access to the standard version of that ultimate skill. If the harbinger is killed, the ultimate skill will return as a charge to this skill, allowing for a new harbinger to be picked. The user can at any time take back a sin given out.

The abilities of the Seven Deadly Sins that he held were the strongest forms possible, and he had the right to assign each of the Ultimate Skills to those he chose through the use of this [Harbinger of Sin]!

His gaze sharpened as he sent out multiple messages to seven specific beings, his mind already wondering who would be most fit to receive which sin. The abilities were extremely powerful, and would give a huge boost to the strength of anyone that held them.

Among the people that passed through his mind, Barbatos, Kazuhiko, and Mikhail were among the top, with his thoughts also wondering about the Ice Queen he had not seen in a while as he decided against it. He did not want others to be fighting fights they did not need to.

Aside from the first three, the remaining Mythical beasts from the Beast World were also excellent candidates to nurture with the gift of a Seven Deadly Sins skill.

Noah's figure disappeared from the center of the Demon World away from the celebrating planetary core as he reappeared in the grandly floating Spiritual Land above the Demon Capital.

He was still in the Arch Demon Lord form, his arrival causing a heavy pressure to descend to the beings around him as those that were already gathered above the Spiritual Land felt their bodies trembling from the immense power Noah portrayed.

Noah realized this as he reigned it in, canceling the Arch Demon Lord form as he looked at the people already here on the Spiritual Land, as well as a few more who were on their way after hearing his message. It didn't take too long for seven beings to be gathered in front of him, all of them still unsure of exactly what was going to happen.

Kazuhiko was the only one comfortable enough aside from Barbatos as he came towards Noah with a refreshing smile.

"How far behind are you planning to leave all of us before you share something eh?"

The confident Kazuhiko was itching with enthusiasm after his contribution to the defeat of the demons, his gaze excitedly watching the Spiritual Land they were on as his mind was already imagining growing his own Spiritual Land to this level.

Noah looked at the dark-haired Kazuhiko who was moving around while still clutching his treasured Katana, his gaze somewhat softening after seeing all these people that he felt like he had not seen in ages, even though it had only been more than a week. Barbatos, the Kraken, the Emperor Penguin, Steel Mikhail, the Imperial Phoenix, and the 2nd ranked Demon Ruler Agares were the other 6 figures looking towards Noah with a variety of gazes. Some were respectful, others were fearful, and one was mischievously smiling. He looked at their faces closely as he spoke.

"The universe is vast and filled with many dangerous things."

Their gazes hardened as they were addressed, even Kazuhiko's enthusiasm turned serious as they paid attention.

"Don't ever think you are anywhere near the strongest, as there are almost always others much stronger than you. Even now, I can only give the few of you a small boost in strength."

He moved as he spoke, his gaze landing on the Emperor Penguin as he activated [Harbinger of Sin], sending a command for the Sin of Pride to be given to the first Beast of his Spiritual Land.

OONG!

A wild burst of essence erupted as the arrogant penguin felt its body elevated, gradually being filled with strength as a transparent runic marking appeared on top of his head.

"RAA! RAA! RAA!"

The Emperor Penguin let out loud cries as it noticed the appearance of an Ultimate Skill in its stat panel, its gaze towards Noah softening as it thought that its Master wasn't so bad after all.

The others noticed the change as they looked forward with rapt attention, and Noah continued.

"The universe has been here before us for an untold number of years, with so many powerful beings so many levels above us that we cannot even be considered along the same lines."

His gaze landed towards the Kraken as he sent another command, the Sin of Wrath being sent forth and appointed to the Calamity of the Sea!

"There are old monsters and powerful schemers all around us, and we're only just beginning to grow."

From then on, he moved even faster as he sent multiple commands, the Sin of Greed being sent to Kazuhiko, the Sin of Sloth appointed to Steel Mikhail, the Sin of Envy being appointed to Agares, and the Sin of L.u.s.t being appointed to the Imperial Phoenix!

Lastly, his gaze turned towards the mischievously smiling Barbatos as he sent the command for the last Sin of Gluttony to be appointed to her.

Gorgeous red lights continued to shine all around as the figures of the beings around Noah were elevated, runic markings appearing on each of their heads as Seven new holders of the Seven Deadly Sins were decided. Noah nodded as he continued, his body erupting with strength as he activated the Arch Demon Lord Transformation, a fearsome body of a regal demon appearing in the Spiritual Land.

"We are in no hurry, so we will carefully advance forward as we increase our strength. In time, we will build our power and be able to stand with status in this chaotic universe, where we will not be randomly bullied or put under the rule of ruthless beings!"

He was saying these words more as a message to the holders of the Seven Deadly Sins in front of him, but they acted more as reminders for himself as he planned for his next movements. He had time on his side, he had to be careful!

He could not rush forward randomly, and he needed to build his power as much as possible before he moved.

"We can do all of this, together."

An air of mystery spread out from the center of the Spiritual Land as Noah stood at the center, surrounded by seven beings looking up at him. The beasts throughout the Spiritual Land felt this environment of power as they let out powerful howls, instinctively feeling winds of change they had not observed before.
