Chapter 523 The Escape of Gluttony
Within the body of the jade clam, an entangled aggregate of souls emerged, drifting in the air and gradually dissipating.
Su Li and the others had seen the scene after the Great Sin Beast died several times before, so they were used to it.
"No!" Sophia's icy voice rang out. "Hmph, trying to escape?"
Sofia's rifle fired a series of shots.
One after another, enchanted bullets were fired into the seawater. They exploded with a deafening roar.
Beneath the surface, a fish was blasted out and shot to pieces in mid-air by Sofia.
The broken pieces of fish fell into the water.
Sofia didn't stop; she continued to pull the trigger, and bullets rained down on the sea.
One, two, three...
More and more, and they became increasingly undisguised. The honeytooth whales that had been resting on the surface of the sea began to decompose, forming tiny fish the size of a palm, which swam in all directions.
Sensing something was wrong, Sun Lili teleported to the center of the school of fish and then spread her arms wide.
Behind her, a black dot suddenly appeared and expanded to a diameter of 5 meters within half a second.
"Supernova pull!"
A tremendous gravitational force emerged from behind Sun Lili. This force was extremely strong and could continuously change the gravitational coefficient.
Numerous fish were pulled into the air by gravity, and due to the constantly fluctuating gravity, they were torn into minced meat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sofia also switched her gun to a grenade launcher and began bombarding the numerous fish.
The sound of exploding grenades echoed across the sea, but no matter how many grenades were fired, the familiar sight of the soul aggregate ascending to heaven was never seen.
"Damn it, they got away." Sun Lili flashed to Su Li's side, holding a dead fish in her hand.
Zuli picked up the dead fish, which looked like a miniature honey whale.
"Did the clone escape? Or was that enormous honeytooth whale originally composed of these smaller honeytooth whales?"
Su Li was unaware that the monsters in this place had already strayed from the field of monster studies he was currently learning. To understand these monsters, one needed a deep understanding of the culture, legends, and psychology of the original inhabitants.
Su Li handed the dead fish to Sun Keke, "Can you track it?"
"No problem! My strength has improved a lot, and with the evil god severely injured, I can now break through the prophecy shield of this world."
Sun Keke took the dead fish and then took out a mirror.
She chanted a spell, and the magical energy within her surged, rushing into the mirror. Soon, a human face appeared in the mirror.
“Magic mirror, magic mirror.” Sun Keke’s voice now had a natural reverberation, making her sound very witchy. “Tell me, where is the fish’s true form now?”
The face in the mirror, with its eyes closed and mouth open, spoke the prophecy: "It goes to its own territory, to the statue of the Holy Spirit."
After the person in the mirror finished speaking, they disappeared. Sun Keke coughed a few times, and her face turned a little paler.
"Are you alright?" Ivan asked, supporting his wife with concern.
"It's alright. Accurate predictions are quite taxing. I won't be able to use my prophetic abilities for the next 15 days."
"Thank you for your hard work." Su Li nodded to Sun Keke, then concluded, "The enemy escaped, and their final destination was the statue of the Holy God. Could it be that the one who held that god-making ceremony was the Gluttonous Soul?"
"But why would it do that?"
Su Li didn't quite understand this idea of gluttony. A gluttonous beast should correspond to unrestrained desires and the endless consumption of resources, not just simply eating. Holding a god-making ceremony didn't quite fit the preconceived notion of it being out of control and short-sighted.
If it's someone with arrogance or greed, then holding a god-making ceremony would be more reasonable.
"Should we go after them?" Song Mingyu asked the crucial question.
Su Li looked at Sun Lili, "Lili, what are your thoughts?"
“Let’s pursue it,” Sun Lili replied. “It doesn’t feel right to be missing one of the seven deadly sins. I can’t let the sin of gluttony be absent from my final trial.”
"Alright, you're the main character on this expedition, I'll do as you say."
After Zurich made his decision, the train turned around and headed toward the statue of the Holy Spirit.
Meanwhile, on the seabed, a small fish carrying the soul of a gluttonous beast arrived in the deep sea.
Because he is one of the seven pillars, the many strange sea creatures in the ocean do not harbor any hostility towards him.
Damn it! We've all been fooled by that guy; she deliberately spread these rumors!
The Gluttonous Beast's mind was filled with the rage of being toyed with.
After quickly leaving the battlefield, he opened his mouth, and a perfectly sized sea fish entered his mouth on its own.
The gluttonous beast closed its mouth and swallowed the sea fish. Then its body began to swell, and in the blink of an eye, it grew a size larger.
And so, sea monsters kept voluntarily entering his mouth to help him regain his original size.
"It seems I must initiate my ritual ahead of schedule." The Gluttonous Beast plotted its plan as it charged toward the ranch it had been tending for hundreds of years.
The thought of soon devouring even more fresh souls fueled the gluttonous beast's desires.
That's right, this Holy City is actually his breeding farm.
After the birth of the evil god and the fall of the three-eyed people, some of them regained some of their senses and began to help the remaining three-eyed people create the current floating island system.
The Gluttonous Beast played a significant role in this, and it was he who oversaw the creation of that wondrous sacred statue.
His motives were not pure.
Before the apocalypse, he was a world-renowned gourmet who pursued richer and more delicious food.
Reflecting on the past, the gluttonous beast sighed, "From a young age, my sense of taste has been extremely sensitive. Initially, I simply wanted to share my appreciation of food with others."
His family was wealthy, and he could eat many rare and precious foods. He enjoyed the food and also reveled in the feeling of sharing his feelings with his followers. At the same time, his inner darkness also gave him a sense of superiority.
Because of his love of sharing food, he gained immense power. When the evil god descended, this power transformed into the pillar of his gluttony.
Becoming part of the evil god, he experienced an even more delicious sensation... the pleasure of devouring other souls, merging them with himself, and making them part of his being. The most precious things in a person are their soul and free will, but this will, and the soul that gave birth to it, had now become part of me, possessed and savored by me.
He realized that he didn't actually enjoy the food; what he enjoyed was his own extravagance and waste—the resources that others could only dream of, which he could consume and waste almost endlessly.
Even the most precious soul.
However, after the incident with the evil god, he had to face a problem... the three-eyed people were on the verge of extinction, and he could no longer eat the precious souls.
Realizing this, he devised a solution with his shrewd mind.
Why not just raise three-eyed people?
