Just now the Vengeful Ghost has said that he is the "last mortal sin".

So, is it different from the concept of the seven deadly sins from the very beginning, only six deadly sins, or is it that Jiang Liu and the others overlooked something...

"Wait a moment!"

Jiang Liu suddenly opened his mouth and asked the vengeful ghost who closed his eyes and waited to die.

"Is this really the sixth floor?"

"Varied--"

Edmund opened his eyes with a flash of surprise.

"This is the seventh floor..."

puff!

An arm pierced through the chest of the Vengeful Ghost, destroying his spiritual core mercilessly. Five powerful fingers penetrated the body and stretched out from behind, tightly holding a ball of golden light.

"..."

The count lowered his head to look at his pierced chest, and cast doubtful eyes on the calm old priest, with an expression that he couldn't let go of.

Although this was the ending he had planned for a long time ago, why did he always feel that something was wrong when it actually happened?

...Why is this old man so calm? This is not Father Faria in his impression.

wrong!

This is--

Suddenly, streams of incomplete information that had been sealed emerged in his mind, the pupils of the Vengeful Ghost slowly shrank, and his already pale face was even more ugly at this moment.

"hateful!"

A cloud of demonic flames ignited in the hand of the Vengeful Ghost, and waved it towards the priest, but the Vengeful Ghost, whose spirit core had been pierced, was too weak, and was easily blocked by the Priest, then drew out his right hand, and randomly kicked the Vengeful Ghost's tattered body. The body kicked into the corner.

——Jiang Liu watched this scene silently, his expression gradually turning cold.

Chapter 500: The Holy Grail War of Original Sin

It was wrong from the start.

Looking at the old priest's back, Jiang Liu thought everything through in an instant.

The sense of disobedience faintly felt along the way, the strange atmosphere emanating from the priest from time to time, and everything that happened to the vengeful ghost just now... These all seem to point to the same answer.

"Did you know that from the beginning?"

Jiang Liu asked calmly, "Have you been deceiving us all this time, or have you been deceiving yourself?"

"...I really forgot everything, but every time you conquer a high tower, I can regain part of my memory. It seems that there seems to be some kind of connection between my spirit foundation and this prison tower.

I don't mean to deceive you, if that's the case, I can't hide it from your eyes, can I? Saber. "

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since when did you realize your true identity?"

"On the floor just now."

The old priest turned around slowly, with an apologetic wry smile on his face.

"When Captain Drake took us to the treasure cave, I slowly remembered."

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Liu was stunned for a while, "So, the treasure is not a background board that appears randomly, and this singularity...or is there some kind of connection with you?"

"Yes, that treasure is both my curse and my hope."

The old priest took out a golden cup from his bosom, looked at it blankly, suddenly laughed at himself, and casually threw the golden cup aside.

"But how nice it would be if I never knew about the existence of these things, and my life wouldn't be so dark."

"Sure enough... the treasure of Monte Cristo?"

Regarding Jiang Liu's speculation, the old priest whose real name was "Faria" chose to remain silent.

In the "Original Book", Father Faria handed over clues to the treasure to Edmond before he died, allowing him to cheer up quickly after he was released from prison, and after many years became a powerful figure with enough capital for revenge.

It can be said that this treasure is the turning point of Edmond's second life, and it is also the most precious gift he received from Father Faria.

However, Father Faria himself was imprisoned because of "political issues", and he has many unclear relations with this treasure, so the priest's attitude towards it is very complicated.

"I never really owned it, but maybe because of the deep karma, I recalled everything the moment I entered the cave... It was not a pleasant experience."

The old priest shook his head: "I never thought of betraying you, but it's just a pity that I stood in the opposite camp from the very beginning."

"……wait wait wait!"

Li Xiang hadn't fully turned the corner yet: "What's going on here? Father, why do you have such a relaxed tone... Oh, aren't you on our side?"

"Calm down, Lixiang."

Jiang Liu explained the general situation to Lixiang in a few words, and the black long straight girl was caught in a tangle.

"The Count of Monte Cristo... Father Faria... But Father, you have no reason to be our enemy?"

"No, Lixiang, you misunderstood something."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and said slowly, "He was never a free follower from the beginning!"

"what?"

"If my guess is correct, the floor of the King of Gluttony is actually the second floor, and the dungeon where you were imprisoned is the first floor!

And this guy was not summoned on the 'Gluttony' level, but moved from the first level to the second level.

He is the guardian of the first floor, Father Faria... no.

——The crime of jealousy, Faria! "

"Oh!" Li Xiang was completely speechless.

The priest was silent for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to make a move. Lixiang exclaimed, and the semi-finished Holy Grail in the luggage turned into aura and dissipated.

In the next second, countless golden light spots condensed on the priest's hand, merged with the light cluster pulled out from the earl's body, and turned into a gorgeous golden container.

Jiang Liu didn't move extra, just watched the scene quietly, but the priest didn't rush to do anything after making the complete Holy Grail, but looked at the Chaldeans instead.

The pirate twins realized something was wrong and returned to Lixiang, and together with Tamamo cat, they protected the mortal master, staring at the priest with great vigilance.

"Originally, most of the ceremony has been completed..."

Father Faria said slowly with a sigh: "By using the power of the Holy Grail, I covered the real world with my heart-like scenery, creating this singularity.

According to the concept of the seven original sins, the remaining six servants were summoned and a "Holy Grail War" was carried out.

Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm not summoning the servants you've seen along the way.

They were just temporarily pulled by the prison tower to make up the number after the Holy Grail was broken, and they barely corresponded to the original sin. In fact, no one can bear the concept of "sinner".

The first batch of servants I summoned, everyone is an anti-hero worthy of the name of original sin!

Every time a follower is defeated, his soul and the original sin it symbolizes will flow into this Holy Grail. In the end, even I myself will devote myself to this, creating a 'chaos' that gathers all the original sins, and then the ultimate judgment will begin... But After most of it was done, it was destroyed by someone. "

He turned his gaze to the vengeful ghost in the corner, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"I didn't expect that the heroic spirit who best represents hatred and anger would voluntarily give up the original sin that he symbolized, and shattered the Holy Grail at the last moment."

I don't know what the reason is, maybe it's the Holy Grail, maybe it's the prison tower and the two people's karma is too deep, which leads to disgusting feedback, maybe it's something else...

But in short, after the Holy Grail was broken, their memories were also affected and became blurred.

After the earl found out where he was, he took it for granted that this was a situation he had created by himself, that the evil spirits distorted by hatred created the singularity of the prison tower.

And when he met the priest, his thoughts were further strengthened: he is the evil party, and the priest is the one who came to stop him.

As a result, the positions of the only two remaining servants—the earl and the priest—reversed.

It wasn't until just now, after recovering the last original sin fragment from the earl's body, that the revenge ghost's memory returned to normal and he realized how big a mistake he had made.

Jiang Liu didn't know the true function of this prison tower until now.

In fact, the key to conquering this singularity does not lie in those guardians, even the prison tower itself is not important, it is just a "site".

A venue designed to host the "Holy Grail War".

Using the prison tower as a concept to summon seven riders can each symbolize an anti-hero servant of original sin, fight each other in the most traditional form of the Holy Grail War, and fill the Holy Grail with the distorted soul and original sin concept...

Although it is impossible to compare with [The Evil of This World] in terms of "quality", it is also impossible to compare with the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City.

But the black mud produced by the accumulation of these original sins is also an inescapable curse for human beings. It is still very easy to destroy a single singularity, and it will even shake the foundation of human history.

"but why?"

Li Xiang, who found it difficult to accept the truth, murmured, "Why do you want to do this, priest?

You who helped the Count of Monte Cristo should be a symbol of kindness in your works... Even after getting along with you for so long, I don't think you are a bad person.

Why do you have to collect things like original sin, the so-called ultimate judgment...why? "

"Sorry, Lixiang..."

The priest smiled miserably, but then restrained himself, revealing a calm and dead expression.

"I just want to know an answer. Only in this way can the high gods look away."

"what……"

"I really want to know that the Father I have loved and loved, the Father in whom I have never wavered in my faith until the last moment of my life—

Did he really hear my prayers? "

The priest's eyes seemed to be fixed on a place thousands of miles away, and he said quietly.

"If he was really watching his children, then...why didn't he respond to me until the end?

Does he really love humans?

Does he really treat every child equally?

If the answer is in the affirmative, then definitely... will stop this trial.

If the answer is no, then he is neither loving nor kind! "
