"Yeah, yeah!"
So demons heckled, while others offered kind advice, and a chaotic dance ensued among the demons, filling the air of the council eting with a festive atmosphere.
Pride wasn’t part of the atmosphere, slamd the table with a bang, glaring at the demons: "Rein yourselves in a bit, stopping now will keep it dignified, I help you keep it dignified, but you won’t be that dignified."
When Pride slamd the table, it was much more effective than Envy’s, seeing his displeased expression, the demons fell silent, no longer speaking.
Lust knew when to stop and regained her calm deanor.
She spread rumors about Pride to retaliate for Pride forcefully seizing the Lust Chapter of the Seven Deadly Sins, predicting that Pride couldn’t explain clearly, today would inevitably beco a joke.
Sure enough, Pride did not reveal the true identity of the Demon Bat.
"Pride, is that Demon Bat really your avatar?" Envy pressed.
Others feared Pride, but he didn’t; at worst, he’d get a beating, he was the Lord of Clown, what was there to fear?
Laugh till you die, being afraid before and after becoming the Lord of Clown, then what’s the point of being the Lord of Clown!
"Shut up, whether he’s my avatar or not is none of your business."
Pride looked coldly at Envy, his brows fierce, subtly revealing glimpses of his true form.
The Great Demon King had a bushy beard, black hair thick and ssy, spreading across his shoulders, every strand seed to have life, violently dancing with flas of anger.
On each side, twisted upward, grew two horns, covered with mottled cracks, exuding an evil aura.
His eyes deep and dark, resembling two black holes devouring everything, no whites in his eyes, only endless darkness and indifference.
Nose high and sharp, revealing a row of glistening fangs when smiling, his ash-gray face covered in scars, resembling lightning, crisscrossing his features, resembling war and bloodshed, like conquest and terror, giving a suffocating oppressive feeling.
Pride: ╰⋛⋋‸⋌⋚╯
Facing this visage, Envy faltered imdiately, sitting down in despair, feeling vaguely that other devils were mocking him, his face alternating between pale and blue, the more he thought, the angrier he got.
Why be intimidated? He was a lead character, persisting a little more and wouldn’t he get through this?
"Humph!"
Pride coldly snorted, internally calling him worthless, skipping the topic of the Demon Bat avatar, straightforwardly asking: "Envy, why did you convene the Demon King Council, I warned you last ti, this is Hell’s highest level council, not your circus."
"This ti is different!"
To overshadow Pride a bit, Envy raised his voice: "Last ti was a mistake, I got through by Wayne’s deception, I’ve already found him, he’s right here."
Right here?x3
Pride, Lust, and Wayne were startled, not understanding where the news had leaked from.
Pride suspected Lust, Lust suspected Pride, Wayne suspected either Pride or Lust.
Thinking about being exposed at the Demon King Council, hurriedly circled his hands in front to calm himself.
No wonder it was him, mastering the essence of the devil in the shortest ti, perfectly blending into the style right after descending into Hell.
"Where?"
The other Demon Kings were watching gleefully for the Lord of Clown’s act, though ntioning old topics without novelty, jokes at the Great Demon King level were still worth watching, not too picky.
Pop!
Envy took out a glass bead from his bosom and slapped it on the table, his nostrils emitting two blasts of hot air: "Right here, it took such great effort to catch him, gathered you all to clearly see, I didn’t lie, even if you don’t believe, you will this ti."
"..."x7
Pride didn’t believe; Wayne was under Lust’s butt; Lust didn’t believe; Wayne was right under her butt; Wayne didn’t believe, he was sitting under Lust’s butt.
The glass bead’s entity was fake, Envy always spoke truthful words no one believed, frustrated, making false claims repeatedly.x3
The remaining four Demon Kings also didn’t believe, from the start they didn’t believe Hexuno lost purity, devils understood devils best, compared to Envy of the Seven Deadly Sins, they preferred to believe the purity of the Seven Virtues.
The Archangel would never lie to us!x4
"Envy, the being inside the sphere is fake, right?" Sloth leisurely unveiled the truth, voicing other devils’ thoughts.
"No proof, how can you claim it’s fake, have you seen Wayne?"
Envy scoffed, Sloth lacked proof and interrupted, without manners disrupting the eting’s order, Envy found no need to converse with such types.
They heard a ’snap’, Envy crushed the glass bead before everyone, a mass of white foam wriggled and morphed into a humanoid creature.
In terms of not being human-like, it bore a slight resemblance to The Void, but...
Wayne felt he had seen this thing sowhere.
ditating for three to five seconds, he imdiately rolled his eyes.
Realized it, it’s the unlucky Soskuna, in so situation, the portion of thoughts descending into Hell was mashed up by Envy, kneading it into the current form.
"That’s him, it’s Wayne!" Envy raised his head triumphantly.
"Could it be? I recognize his mind; he’s a Demigod of the Abyssal Python Clan nad Soskuna; he was almost my client before." Greed mocked.
"I know too; I gave him his territory in Hell." Gluttony nodded in affirmation.
Cheating devils is hard, deceiving Great Demon Kings even harder, unless by accident, Lord of Clown’s persona as a habitual liar seems stable.
And due to this lie, all previous truths have to turn into lies!
"Quite right, he’s Soskuna, but you only know one side of the story."
Envy gravely looked at the demons: "Wayne is Soskuna, he sneaked into Hell early, orchestrating various setups and acting only to lull us into a false sense of security, he fooled us all."
