Chapter 1707

"Hehe, I really did wrong you~"

Parting the dense canopy of the Rotting Tree, he leaned down to glance at the Black Goat on the table, who was flashing like a lamp bulb, and the Wrath Demon God's mouth corners couldn't help but suddenly curl upward; he then looked toward the already dumbfounded Lust Demon God, his eyes full of schadenfreude, and said:

"Asmodeus, I owe you a proper apology. It seems that Rotting-Branch Demon from earlier really wasn't arranged by you; this meat sheep is your handpicked choice... even fearing we wouldn't agree, you pre-oiled him and served him up on a platter. You really are thoughtful!"

?!?!

Facing the precise finishing blow from the Wrath Demon God, the Lust Demon God's breathing couldn't help but suddenly hitch; he then forced his gaze away from the Black Goat's bare bottom, laughing awkwardly with an unnatural expression:

"Everyone, there should be some misunderstanding here. This meat sheep is just..."

"This meat sheep is the best candidate for the next Original Sin Archdemon."

Never having seen such a bizarre situation, the always cold-faced Pride Demon God's mouth corners curved up slightly, revealing a rare smile.

Amid the Lust Demon God's extremely ugly expression, the Pride Demon God leaned back against the chair back, gazing back with focused eyes, then announced almost word by word:

"I am very satisfied with this candidate; I believe the others should be as well... Asmodeus, what about you?"

"..."

"I naturally have no objections either."

Realizing his plan had completely fallen through and the situation was irretrievable, facing the burning, pressing gazes of the other Original Sin Demon Gods, the heart-sliced Lust Demon God could only answer with a smile:

"Anyway, it's just finding a piece of cannon fodder. If after testing, this meat sheep happens to be suitable, then choosing him isn't bad either."

Hehe, though the words are spoken like that, your heart is probably already bleeding, right?

Watching the Lust Demon God, who was clearly heartbroken to death but still had to force a happy face, the faces of the other Original Sin Demon Gods couldn't help but successively reveal a trace of undisguised satisfaction.

Perhaps at the beginning they hadn't reacted yet, but when they saw that Rotting-Branch Demon, even the Wrath Demon God, whose brain was the worst at working, could see clearly that this so-called "Successor Selection" event had been arranged by the Lust Demon God from the very start.

As for the purpose... it was nothing more than preparing to take this opportunity, using that Rotting-Branch Demon who shared the same origin as her, to absorb or even lay claim to the Original Sins controlled by the others.

Although her arrangement was fairly meticulous, and she had timed it at the juncture where they urgently needed to deal with those purple-skinned angels, even if the rest of them saw through her scheme, at most they could only pinch their noses and accept it; however...

Looking at the meat sheep demon on the table, shaved smooth and slick, with fragrant oil applied all over its body, the Wrath Demon God couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, then extended a blood-red fingernail over a meter long and poked the Black Goat's extremely fleshy buttocks.

"Wake up! Little thing, we have a good thing to tell you!"

No no no! Can't wake up! Absolutely cannot wake up!

Even when pushed so he arched up in the plate, the Black Goat still kept his eyes tightly shut, maintaining a motionless posture, and incidentally screamed for help in his heart with a face full of despair.

'Save me save me save me!'

'Food God! Li Ang! Ang God! Say something!'

'Dad! Ang Dad! As long as you come out and save me, from now on I'll acknowledge you as my real dad!'

However, regrettably, even though the Black Goat didn't hesitate to acknowledge Ang as his father, Li Ang, who had never faced the Original Sin Demon Gods head-on, still couldn't determine the Original Sin Demon Gods' level, and truly lacked the confidence for a one-versus-seven fight.

Moreover, although the Serpent-Husband Secret Art was extremely concealed, even the True Gods of the Slaughter King Association couldn't spot the problem, the Original Sin Demon Gods were ultimately existences a cut above ordinary Pillar Gods; rashly replying carried a certain probability of being discovered.

So Li Ang did not answer the Black Goat's frantic dad-calling; he merely poked its heart from the "inside," signaling he was still protecting it, then began with all his might to converge his own fluctuations, hiding himself completely.

Wait... I'm playing dead in the plate, and you're playing dead inside my heart?!

After howling in his heart for a long time, discovering that the newly acknowledged Ang Dad had no movement, seemingly not intending to save him, the Black Goat's heart instantly turned cold.

Liar! Big liar!

The promise was that as long as I cooperated, you'd let me pull a big act, overcoming the Original Sin Demon Gods with a meat sheep demon's body? In the end, my ingredients were wasted, oil was brushed on, and I was locked in the kitchen by two teams of succubi, tortured day and night for a whole week.

The result: not only did I not pull off the act, but my shaved bare butt was exposed, letting people poke and prod at it? You you you... does your conscience allow this?

Recalling Li Ang's promise and the miserable torture he had suffered during this time, the Black Goat, whose buttocks were red with rage, instantly flew into a rage, and on the spot... switched to a different tone and continued begging.

'You can't be this heartless!'

'Please, save me!'

'I've been following you since you were just a little cleaner! I've bled for you! I've earned merit for you!'

'Speak! Just say whether you'll save me or not!'

'Stop howling!'

Harassed by the Black Goat's five howls per second until his brain ached, Li Ang, who had wanted to stay hidden and adapt to the situation, could only soothe him as covertly as possible:

'Use your brain! I'm hiding inside you right now; we're grasshoppers on the same rope. Even if I wanted to not save you, I can't!'

'Then you...'

'Listen to me!'

Taking advantage of the Wrath Demon God waving his hand, patting and slapping, trying to wake the "unconscious" Black Goat, Li Ang, combining the conversation between the Original Sin Demon Gods, opened his mouth to analyze:

'From the implications of their words, they should want to select a successor for the Original Sin Archdemon, so they held a selection, but the Lust Demon God tampered with it, wanting the demon she arranged to become that candidate.'

'Then why...'

'Shut up and listen to me!'

After summarizing in his mind the conversation he had just heard through the Black Goat's ears, confirming that speaking would not be discovered, Li Ang directly continued analyzing:

'Although I'm still not sure how they plan to proceed, from the meaning in their words, you are very useful to them right now, so you won't be eaten by them, and might even get benefits.

But the Lust Demon God's eyes haven't left your body since just now; she may not have completely given up yet, so what you need to do next is cooperate well with any subsequent tests that may come, and keep this so-called Original Sin Archdemon successor identity!

As long as your performance can surpass that Rotting-Branch Demon, you'll still be useful to them, and as long as they still need you, your safety can be guaranteed.

And after getting past this hurdle, as long as we can find a chance to make contact alone with one of the Original Sin Demon Gods, I'll be able to forcibly control that Original Sin Demon God; at that time, whether continuing the mission or retreating quickly won't be a problem... Quick! Stop playing unconscious, you should be awake by now!'

The moment Li Ang's words fell, the Wrath Demon God, who had poked several times without waking the Black Goat, flashed a trace of impatience in his eyes; his fingernail tip suddenly suffused with a cluster of turbid blood light.

And when the blood light touched his buttocks, the Black Goat, still trying to digest Li Ang's instructions, instantly sprang up from the plate with an "ao" cry, looking in terror at the Original Sin Demon Gods around the table.

"You... you all..."

"I have no interest in your thoughts; your task is to remain silent."

Raising his hand to snap his fingers, a gray-white silver light flashed and vanished, sticking the Black Goat's upper and lower lips together; the Pride Demon God on the main seat looked toward the Lust Demon God narrowing her eyes, and spoke before she could:

"Asmodeus, I know that Rotting-Branch Demon was made by you, and I know you definitely haven't given up; if I don't give you a chance, you'll definitely pull tricks during the Original Sin infusion."

"There isn't oh~ Even if this consort wants it however much..."

"I can give you this chance."

Cutting off the Lust Demon God's words, the Pride Demon God fixed her with a gaze, his eyes brooking no refusal as he said:

"From now on, you are not to pull any tricks. You must honestly and straightforwardly infuse this goat with Original Sin alongside us. If it withstands it, then you swallow your own plans back into your stomach, and we can pretend today's events never happened.

If it fails to withstand the infusion of Original Sin, and is burst open by the Original Sin we infused into it, then you will summon that Mizhi Demon to come up and replace this goat in enduring the infusion... but the premise is that you did not pull any tricks while infusing this goat with Original Sin."

Pointing at that Mizhi Demon from afar, generating a silver-gray energy collar at her neck, the Pride Demon God said with cold eyes:

"I swear on my own Pride: if you attempt to play tricks on us again while infusing this goat with Original Sin, even if that Mizhi Demon becomes the sole candidate, I will still crush her instantly!"

"..."

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as tacit agreement... Go infuse your Original Sin into this goat. Don't make me say it a second time."

"..."

Seeing the cold light in the Pride Demon God's eyes, understanding he would absolutely do as he said, the Lust Demon God couldn't help but grit her teeth, and could only suppress the other plans in her heart, opening her mouth with a cold face.

And with her movement, a purple-black seven-petaled dahlia slowly bloomed from her tongue tip; its goose-yellow fine stamens swayed slightly, and a large amount of deep pink pollen, the same color as the Tree of Decay, drifted on the wind, floating toward the Black Mountain Goat on the platter.

"My true body is a decayed branch grown from the main trunk of the Tree of Decay. After the decayed branch representing me devoured a passing succubus, I became a Mizhi Demon. This Decay Flower is the part in my flesh representing reproduction; this pollen can also be regarded as an extension of Lust."

Seemingly worried her actions would be misunderstood, the Lust Demon God explained the situation of the flesh part she had sent out; then her two rows of teeth gently closed, biting off the Decay Flower grown on her tongue tip, immediately reaching out to catch the flower, and said coldly to the Black Mountain Goat:

"Spread your legs!"

"..."

"Hind legs! Not forelegs!"

"..."

Hm?

Seeing that upon hearing her words, the Black Mountain Goat not only didn't spread its legs to reveal its foreign gun and foreign eggs, but instead instinctively clamped them tight, the Lust Demon God's brow couldn't help but raise slightly, then she extended a fingertip and lightly tapped on the wooden table.

"Mmph? Whimper whimper! Mmph!"

Amidst the Black Mountain Goat's helpless humming, two slender yet strong tree branches grew out from the tabletop, neatly binding the goat's two hind legs, then brutally forcing them apart to the left and right!

"Hm?"

"Ah?!"

"This?"

"Tsk..."

Under the utterly astonished gazes of the Original Sin Demon Gods, the Black Mountain Goat's hind legs, which it had clamped shut even in its "fainted" state, were forcibly pried open, revealing a gleaming Holy Spear shining with brilliant white light before their eyes.

This... it was actually purified? Someone actually went out of their way to purify this kind of thing?

After examining the Black Mountain Goat's Holy Spear, a sudden flash of delight rose on the Lust Demon God's astonished face; she immediately raised her hand and sent out the dahlia filled with the Sin of Lust, precisely nailing it onto the tip of the shining Holy Spear.

"Sizzle!!!"

"Mmph!!!"

"Oh my, oh my, how regrettable~"

Glancing at the Black Mountain Goat whose eyes bulged and thrashed desperately the moment the dahlia made contact, the Lust Demon God recalled the flower filled with Original Sin, and said with a smile:

"Although forcing it down isn't impossible, I'm afraid it would burn away part of its soul along with it... It seems that although its aptitude is not bad, it has no compatibility with this consort's Sin of Lust~"

"..."

Indeed...

Examining the shining Holy Spear which had been charred black over a large area upon first contact and begun emitting a strange meaty fragrance, even the Wrath Demon God, who least wanted the Lust Demon God to succeed, fell silent at this moment.

Although everyone only needed someone to lure away the Nine Great Angels, and didn't necessarily have to create an Original Sin Archdemon possessing all seven Original Sins, the more Original Sins it could bear, the better a target it would naturally be.

The power of Great Demons is almost negligible before Original Sin Demon Gods, so the final choice basically depends only on how much Original Sin can be borne. This goat directly lacks one Original Sin; compared to that Mizhi Demon with all seven sins, it is inherently weaker by one-seventh. In that case...

It will be eaten!

Through the Black Mountain Goat's eyes, faintly glimpsing their thoughts from the eyes of the several Original Sin Demon Gods, Li Ang's brain couldn't help but start spinning at extreme speed, beginning to desperately think of a way to break the deadlock.

And at this time, a brilliant smile ten times more gorgeous than before had already bloomed on the Lust Demon God's face.

She was seen waving a hand toward the Mizhi Demon's direction; the Tree of Decay's dense crown, like so many palms, lifted the still-unconscious Mizhi Demon and sent her over, placing her beside the platter holding the Black Mountain Goat.

"You all saw it too. It wasn't this consort who pulled tricks; it's just that that meat sheep is truly not suitable enough."

Smiling at the other Original Sin Demon Gods with ugly expressions, the Lust Demon God, as the final victor, reached out and pinched up that blooming dahlia, brought it toward her avatar's abdomen, and said with a beaming smile:

"Good thing we still have a backup. This child... hm?!"

In the Lust Demon God's dumbfounded gaze, the Black Mountain Goat, already eliminated in the platter beside her, suddenly broke free of the Decay Tree branches' restraints, directly leaping at her... then making a sharp turn, pounced beside the unconscious Mizhi Demon, raising a hoof and smashing it hard against her forehead!

"Pop!"

Only a light sound like a soap bubble bursting was heard; the Mizhi Demon's head directly caved in on the spot, then her whole person withered and shrank inward at extreme speed, twisting into a deep pink fruit in less than 0.01 seconds.

Immediately after, that sleek, shiny Black Mountain Goat directly used its "hand" to pry open its own stuck-together mouth, mixing in the fresh blood flowing from its lips being forcibly torn apart, and swallowed the fruit the Mizhi Demon had turned into in one gulp!

"Excuse me."

Forcefully swallowing the fruit in his mouth, after gulping it down, Li Ang, who had temporarily seized control of the Black Mountain Goat's body, asked with an exceptionally sincere expression under the dumbstruck gazes of the Original Sin Demon Gods:

"I should still have a chance to try again, right?"
