Chapter 1128: Connecting Dots

'Intentions are like special forms of magic.'

Eren thought to himself as he observed Darven and Harja Mel. They still had their personalities for the most part. However, they had become extremely loyal to their new master ever since they became a special existence.

Eren started understanding the nuances of Sin Series mana and the various Abilities it is associated with. It was clear to him that the creator of the Sin Series Mark had created profound magic with the simplest intentions of all times.

Sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, and other similar intentions are usually normal human emotions taken to extremes. One could say that it was their overindulgence that made them sinful. And yet, such simple concepts could be used to derive logic-defying Abilities the likes of which most rankers in Anfang couldn't even begin to comprehend.

'Intentions are the food for the soul. If the body needs food to stay alive, then the soul needs intentions to stay in the world of the living. Magic done without any intention is lackluster. It has boundaries… It has set limitations.

However, intentions can't be defined with limits. And as a result, intent-driven magic also has no limits. Not really.

There's more to mana… there's more to magic… There's more to everything I am yet to see.'

The butcher got excited after understanding the possibilities of the Sin Series mana. Since his bloodline made him compatible with the Sin Series Abilities, he had decided to make full use of the advantage.

Eren also started retracing the inherent Abilities he had received from Reen. It was her from whom he had got the bloodline. His fiend creation experiment allowed him to look at Reen's creation from a different angle.

'The very first bloodline Abilities I unlocked… my devouring of bodies, memories, others' Abilities, and more. They are all related to the Sin of Gluttony.

If my guess is correct, Arthur was struggling with stabilizing the artificial demon beast's existence as well. So he must have used Beelzebub's altar in some form to create Reen.

Reen was blessed by the Sin of Gluttony at her birth. That's how Reen was able to acquire such Abilities right from the beginning.'

Darven and Harja Mel looked at each other as they observed Eren's pensive face. They kept quiet and allowed him to carry on with his thoughts.

The butcher activated his Life Drain Ability and looked at his shriveled hands. He started connecting more dots in his head as he looked at them.

'The old hag that I killed in Purgatory to get the Life Drain– I think she was also marked with the Sin of Gluttony, receiving Life Drain in return. Judging by her mana signature when she fought me, she might have been originally a resident of Labh Salem where demon worshipping is practiced openly. She was probably a witch.'

Eren came to a conclusion on his own that Maya knew as a fact. This was all thanks to Nira Nightshade of course. Without her information, Eren wouldn't have been able to fill in the blanks.

The butcher narrowed his eyes as he let his thoughts wander.

'That witch must have died in the all-out war against the Titans. And her body somehow ended up getting resurrected because of Eliza's experiments with the living undead and the whole concept of resurrection in general.

The inheritor of Elder Ichor created Sin Series Marks. He appointed seven Demon Princes and made them the keepers of his properties.

The Demon Princes control the Planes of Sins the demonic Abilities are based on. And these demonic Abilities are finding their way back to me because I'm the inheritor of the Elder Ichor.

It's like the pieces of the puzzle are falling from the sky into their right position on the puzzle board.'

Eren thought to himself. He retracted the Life Drain and turned his hands to their normal appearance. Alephee provided the reasoning behind the possible coincidence.

'It's quite possible, Eren.

Beelzebub must have tweaked the cause-and-effect fabric quite a lot to meet you. So the coincidences related to the Sin of Gluttony that you see must be the result of his actions.'

Eren nodded his head at Alephee's explanation. This topic was about to be discussed in more detail. However, he stopped himself when he noticed that someone was standing behind him.

"How do you feel?"

Eren smiled lightly and asked Nysa who had decided to show herself. She had changed into some fresh clothes before facing her new master. She looked at him intently before saying what she had intended to say all along.

"I feel fine.

I… I wanted to thank you for letting me live, Eren. Especially the way you let me live. I didn't want to be turned into your experiment subjects. Not like them."

Nysa said while looking at Darven and Harja Mel. She had come to realize that Eren had let her off the hook easily. And that Darven and Harja Mel– her ex-accomplices against Eren– had to leave their humanity behind to survive. She felt that she would have regretted quite a bit if her humanity had been taken away from her.

Nysa also bowed in front of Eren as she said that. She knew that Eren was unlike the prodigies she was used to dealing with back in Royal Renar. The man in front of her was someone extraordinary who had access to logic-defying powers. He had also struck some kind of deal with Maya before showing his cards to them.

Nysa could read Eren's intentions to some extent due to the bond they shared between them. She could tell that the things he had accomplished were no big deal for him. That he was used to performing feats like these. He was a domineering evil one could never see coming.

Nysa wanted to join Edinburgh's forces at first to progress in her ranking journey steadily. But seeing Eren perform outstanding feats, she realized that she could get more from siding with Eren wholeheartedly.

One had to say that Nysa was a half-glass-full kind of girl. She had a strong passion for survival and knew how to look at her circumstances in a positive light.

Nysa knew that men like Eren were either about to wreck themselves up in search of greatness. Or they will find what they are looking for because of their relentless pursuits. Nysa bet on the second possibility because of how Eren carried himself.

The butcher chuckled before responding to Nysa's words.
