Seven Sins System Chapter 406. The Cult And The Lord of Sins II

It was a chilling revelation, highlighting their disregard for morality and their willingness to exploit others for their gain.

But what truly sickened me was their method of summoning demons. Rather than risking themselves, they manipulated and brainwashed unsuspecting individuals to act as conduits for their dark dealings. These poor souls, ensnared in the web of deceit, unwittingly summoned demons on behalf of their Kraken overlords, unaware of the sinister consequences of their actions.

These Kraken may have thought themselves clever, but they were playing a dangerous game—one that I intended to bring crashing down upon them.

The more I uncovered about these krakens' nefarious activities, the more frustrated I became. It was a maddening cycle of manipulation and exploitation, with innocent people bearing the brunt of their deceit.

What irked me the most was the plight of those who had been brainwashed into serving the Krakens' dark agenda. Unlike those who were forced or manipulated by skill, brainwashed individuals had undergone a fundamental transformation of their personalities. It was a subtle yet insidious form of control, rendering them puppets to the Kraken's whims. And as devils, our hands were tied when it came to intervening in such cases.

Adding insult to injury was the fact that these krakens seemed to be wary of summoning me directly. Instead, they preferred to call upon other devils like 'Greed,' 'Sloth,' and 'Pride'—perhaps fearing the consequences of facing me directly. It was a cowardly move.

But what truly astonished me was the extent of their influence. These krakens wielded hypnosis skills with frightening proficiency, allowing them to control not only individuals but entire corporations in the food and medicine industries. It was a chilling revelation, highlighting the extent of their reach and the depth of their corruption.

Also, I stumbled upon another revelation. It appeared that these krakens had woven a web of mythology around me, dubbing me "The Ancient One" and intertwining my identity with that of a legendary figure from their scriptures.

I couldn't help but scoff at the audacity of their delusions. Me, the lord of wrath, being equated to some mythical being from their ancient texts? It was laughable, to say the least. Yet, as I pored over their so-called bible, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach.

The cult's scripture painted a vivid picture of the "ancient one" as a fearsome entity that had once wreaked havoc upon the mortal realm during a time of calamity. According to their twisted tales, this legendary figure embodied chaos and destruction.

It was clear that the krakens had concocted this narrative to serve their own sinister purposes, weaving a tapestry of lies and deceit to manipulate their followers into worshiping me as some kind of divine being. But what truly unnerved me was the fervor with which they clung to these beliefs, as if they were gospel truth.

I withdrew my Envy tentacles from the kraken's mind, my expression darkening with disdain. "So you thought I’m the Ancient One,'" I sneered, my voice dripping with contempt. It was absurd, the lengths to which these krakens would go to justify their twisted ideology.

These krakens, masquerading as my supposed followers, harbored ambitions far more nefarious than mere worship. They sought to harness the power of the Ancient One for their own selfish ends, aiming to seize control of this realm and bend it to their will.

It was a chilling revelation, to say the least. Here I was, a devil of considerable power, being manipulated and exploited by a group of mortals who dared to call themselves my devotees. But in truth, they were nothing more than power-hungry schemers, seeking to enslave me and wield my power as their own.

Their methods were as devious as they were despicable. Through their dark rituals and sinister experiments, they sought to extract the essence of low-level demons and condense it into dark crystals, all in a twisted attempt to accumulate enough power to subjugate me. It was a betrayal of the highest order, a mockery of the reverence they claimed to hold for me.

I could feel a surge of anger and indignation at their audacity. How dare they defile my name and tarnish my reputation with their vile machinations? How dare they seek to imprison my power within the confines of a mere crystal?

That was also the reason why they deployed that twisted summoning formation and made a lot of people summon low-level demons everywhere. They aimed to sow chaos and confusion, spreading their dark influence far and wide. Their targets were often battle academies or other places where individuals with significant power congregated.

The strategy was deceptively simple yet terrifyingly effective. By orchestrating widespread demon summonings, they hoped to provoke a response from those with the ability to combat such threats. These summoned demons, though invisible to the naked eye, posed a very real danger, capable of causing havoc and destruction if left unchecked.

Their ultimate goal was twofold: first, to weaken these summoned demons through confrontation with powerful individuals, and second, to harvest their essence and convert it into dark crystals. It was a sinister scheme.

The sheer audacity of their plan was staggering. By manipulating unwitting individuals into summoning demons, they were able to spread chaos and fear throughout the realm, all while operating from the shadows, hidden from view. They were willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in pursuit of their twisted goals, heedless of the consequences.

The twisted summoning formation was their brainchild, the culmination of years of dark experimentation aimed at harnessing the power of the ancient demon within my body. However, their efforts consistently met with failure, as the ancient demon lacked intelligence or consciousness to be summoned forth. Instead, the formation inadvertently called forth other demons, a consequence of its inability to discern a specific target.

What made this formation particularly dangerous was its indiscriminate nature. Unlike conventional summoning rituals tied to a specific demon or purpose, this formation operated on randomness. It could summon demons of varying types and quantities, ranging from a single entity to an entire horde.
