223 – Test
Nano Suit.
Ed has been doing research in his spare time to develop a nano suit, which can be said to be the final evolution of the suit.
In the end, the true value of the devil suit that Ed pursues is its ‘utility’ that can cope with all situations.
He has developed a nanosuit that can transform into another form at any time as long as the user wishes.
-Chrrrt
The results of all the blood and sweat were showing.
Trillions of ‘carbon nanotubes’ ordered by the assembler wrapped Ed’s entire body, forming a nano suit.
【Cheeky! No matter how much you are, you are no match for us unless you are equipped with ‘that armor’!】
However, these were not the ‘Seven Deadly Sins Demons’ who would just sit by and watch.
The only thing they are afraid of is Ed wearing the ‘Doom Suit’.
He immediately ran towards Ed and brandished his weapon.
With a tremendous cracking sound, their blunt weapon struck Ed’s suit.
-Kang!
However, their attacks, which could easily tear through even the most steel, were bounced back in vain.
That’s because the raw material for the nano suit equipped with Ed is ‘carbon nanotubes’, which are 100 times stronger than steel.
【····Why?】
However, the Seven Deadly Sins, who had no way of knowing this, looked at Ed’s normal appearance with wide-open eyes.
Ed said, extending his gauntlet forward.
【Did you know that graphite, the core of a pencil, and diamond are made of the same carbon atoms?】
【What…?】
【Even the same carbon atom can have completely different properties depending on its structure. Graphite is made up of hexagonal plates stacked up, so it is weak in durability, but diamond is tightly connected in three dimensions and is very hard.】
【···What bullsh*t are you talking about?】
【In short, the carbon nanotubes that are the raw material for this suit are in a more elaborate and hard form. You guys can’t break through this.】
-Keee!
As soon as Ed finished speaking, a white flash erupted from the gauntlet.
The white flash emitted from the suit struck the bodies of the Seven Deadly Sins in the blink of an eye, pushing them several meters away.
However, as they took over the city and became stronger, they immediately stood up and shouted.
【Even so, the power is poor! At least that much—!】
【Who said it ends here?】
But before the guys could finish speaking, a ‘small repulsor shooter’ came out from the back of the suit.
The small repulsor shooter, which was separated into eight elaborate parts, began loading the same repulsor beam as Ed’s gauntlet.
【Try blocking this too.】
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
-Kiiiiing—!
Eight ‘small repulsor shooters’ that emit reloading sounds simultaneously.
And soon, it is not just a ‘single shot’, but 8 lights that continuously emit a large amount of energy like a laser.
-Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwa—!
The repulsor beam extending from both of Ed’s hands and the repulsor beam fired by eight ‘small repulsor shooters’ were concentrated on one target.
The seven deadly sins of gluttony.
The devil of sin, who constantly instigates human appetite and reduces it to an ugly lump of fat, has been pierced right through the thick belly fat.
【Kaaagh—!】
The guy died screaming in pain less than a minute after showing off the nano suit.
The heavy body of the body melted due to the high energy and heat, causing the muscles and skin to rupture, and internal organs spilling out, causing irreversible damage.
Soon, the mortally wounded man rolled over his eyes and fell to the ground.
-Boom!
【······.】
【······.】
A follower of the Seven Deadly Sins who has the potential to grow into one of the great evils in the distant future.
However, in this episode, Ed dealt with such a strong enemy with ease.
After witnessing the death of their comrade who had gone in vain, the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins screamed in anger and immediately prepared a counterattack.
【Good! I’ll go with all my might from here too! Perform the ‘ritual’!】
And their counterattack was to perform a ‘ritual’.
In other words, they gain the power of denial by inciting the emotions of ‘anger’ and ‘greed’ in the humans who have become their slaves.
-Ahh!! Please save us, save us!!
-I want to pluck out the eyes and guts of the person who pointed a finger at me and show it to his parents! I want to rob him and his parents of their property and make them my slaves!! Please grant my desire!!
The humans in the city, deluded by the devil of the Seven Deadly Sins, began to shout in crazy voices.
They are angry, calling out the names of everyone they hate, and freely reveal their ugly desire to take away other people’s property and wives.
【Kuhuhuh····. Look. This is the power given by humans that you so desperately seek.】
As the entire city was filled with anger and greed, the Seven Deadly Sins began to grow in size.
The muscles on his entire body became massive, his face became more ferocious, and the wings on his back spread wide.
They absorbed the desires of as many as 50,000 people and were reborn in a more powerful form.
Soon, the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed spoke.
【You brought this on yourself. Humans who are dominated by ‘consciousness’ consume even their own life force and supply us with the power of negativity. Because of you, 50,000 people in this city will die.】
The Seven Deadly Sins of Greed laugh at Ed, saying that the people in this city are dying because of him.
In fact, humans caught up in anger and greed were gradually losing their vitality.
His face became haggard, as if he had been out several nights, and his eyes were gradually losing vitality.
He is radiating feelings of anger and greed, even depleting his own vitality.
【Now there is only one way to beat us. The armor that has the power to reach our King. Put on that armor and face us. That’s the only way left to you.】
At that time, the Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath forced Ed to wear the ‘Doom Suit’.
A suit that allows you to become the strongest, limited to demons.
I am telling you to equip the suit that was made solely to deal with the Archduke of Hell.
Because the Doom Suit is a suit that produces explosive destructive power by consuming all the emotions from the previous episode, and those emotions are eventually consumed.
The time you can use the Doom Suit is limited.
So, he is forcing himself to use up the power to reach the Archduke.
【There is no need to go all the way to the Doom Suit to deal with minnows like you.】
But there was no way Edgar, who was saving the Doom Suit for the Archduke, would accept his offer.
Then the Seven Deadly Sins of Anger tore the corners of their mouths and spoke.
【Then die like this! That arrogance will lead you to death!
Whoa!
The Seven Deadly Sins of Anger close the distance in an instant and extend their fists at Ed.
But at that moment, a large amount of nanoparticles were focused on Ed’s right arm, forming a shield.
Soon, the guy’s fist hit Ed’s shield, and the collision sent a huge shock wave through the area.
It was an enormous shock wave that shook the ground.
– Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
Just an outstretched fist is enough to create a sandstorm and shake the earth.
The Seven Deadly Sins were definitely stronger than before.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath twisted the corners of their mouths and said.
【I guess you felt it too. If you don’t use a shield, you can block my attacks─】
-Keee!
But at that moment, blue light began to emanate from the shield.
And the enormous energy beam emitted from the shield pushed away the Seven Deadly Sins of Fury.
-Kwagwagwagwagwagwakwa───────!
【Ugh!】
The seven deadly sins of anger harden their expressions at the enormous energy beam extending from the shield.
However, when the eight small repulsor shooters were added, the guy’s expression began to distort.
No matter how strong you become, it is impossible to withstand eight highly concentrated energy beams.
【What a gap!】
But at that moment.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Greed came back and attacked Ed.
No, rather than Ed himself, he attacked the small repulsor shooter floating behind Ed’s back.
In that blow, two small repulsor shooters were destroyed and fell to the ground.
【Kuhuhuh! I think I can take that energy beam now!】
While Ed was dealing with the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed that had returned behind him.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Anger, whose body had grown enormous by absorbing more anger, showed confidence.
He said that he would not be affected even if he was hit by the repulsor beam that put him in danger.
-Whoop!
However, his words were not bluff.
It clung to Ed at a faster speed than before.
【What should I do! We become stronger as time passes!】
And so the difficult struggle began.
As the ritual progressed, the speed of the Seven Deadly Sins became faster and their power became stronger.
Ed was dealing with both of them at once, gradually losing the repulsor small shooter.
That was the moment when he had zero repulsor small shooters left.
【Your defeat!】
-Quang!
Before Ed could react, the guy’s fist hit Ed’s face.
Then Ed’s body flew several meters without resistance and fell to the ground.
The helmet covering Ed’s face was completely shattered, exposing Ed’s face.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath said as they approached Ed.
【Kukkuk ··· Was it just this much? A guy like this is barely a threat to the king?】
Jeobeok… Jebeok… Jebeok….
The seven deadly sins of anger approach Ed, who has fainted, and laugh at him to the fullest.
Soon, the Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath, standing right in front of Ed, stretched out his hands forward and began to gather magical energy.
Prepare a special move to finish Ed.
【Wait.】
At that time, the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed stopped him.
From noble mtl dot com
When the Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath frowned and turned their heads, the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed spoke.
【No. It doesn’t end this way. This guy has incurred the king’s wrath. How about making him our slave?
The Seven Deadly Sins of Greed, who leaves Ed unconscious and insists on making him his slave.
Then the Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath rolled his head for a moment, then parted the corners of his mouth and nodded.
Rather than just killing him, the king would prefer to keep him alive and make him miserable.
【Jo, good…! If we make him a slave, we can gain the king’s favor and be reborn as the Great Devil…! Good suggestion!】
More than anything, if you turn Ed into a slave and extract his ‘anger’ and ‘greed’, you can gain tremendous power.
You can gain so much power that you can become an arch-demon at once.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Anger twisted the corners of their mouths as they imagined Ed being reduced to a slave.
Then, Ed summoned a magic circle on the ground where he had fainted and began to chant a spell in the demonic language.
Just as he made the people of this city prisoners of ‘anger’ and ‘greed’, he plans to use the same technique on Ed to make him a slave.
【Take care of your anger!】
【Support greed!】
The Seven Deadly Sins, who completed the order formation, began pouring hell energy into Ed.
This is because a vast amount of hellish energy is needed to complete their spells, especially to corrupt a powerful human like Ed.
-Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa—!
So, they began activating the Jumunjin, investing the energy of ‘anger’ and ‘greed’ they had acquired.
The more hell energy they poured into it, the smaller their bodies became, and they gradually lost the power they gained by exploiting the humans here, but it didn’t matter.
If you can make Edman a slave, you will be able to gain much more power than the hell energy you put into it.
【Take care of your anger─────!】
【Support greed─────!】
The Seven Deadly Sins, imagining themselves as great devils, began to put all their power into completing the Jumunjin.
However, they were blinded by desire and did not notice that the corner of Ed’s mouth was trembling and that the ‘Crucible’ inside his suit displayed the message [Charging…].
I could only imagine myself becoming the Great Devil and burst into laughter…
***
Gooooo!
The long-awaited moment has finally arrived.
The order formation was completed by injecting a large amount of hell energy, and Edgar Fix was reduced to slavery.
Soon, the demons of the Seven Deadly Sins, covered in dark circles, took a deep breath and tested whether their spell was successful.
【Wake up.】
The first order was given to Edgar Fix, who had fallen into a slave of desire.
“···Yes.”
Then Ed began to carry out his orders, his eyes glowing red.
Raise your fallen body and stand at attention.
When the demons of the Seven Deadly Sins saw this, they burst into laughter.
【Kkeukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! hehehe…! hahahahaha—! Puhahahahaha—!】
The devils of the Seven Deadly Sins crawl and steal when they see the savior of mankind reduced to their slave.
Soon, the guys started pointing their fingers at Ed, who was standing still with an expressionless face, and spouting all kinds of insults.
But even so, Ed, who had become a slave, just stood still, maintaining his attitude.
Soon, the Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath gave Ed the following command:
【Good, very good…! Then show your anger now! Unleash your anger and offer your strength to me!
He was ordered to be buried in anger.
Then Ed began to follow the command.
“Keuuu! Ugh…! Hate···! “It’s so abominable…!”
Ed begins to tremble and become angry.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Wrath smiled broadly and shouted.
【Yes! That’s it! Show more! Cut down your vitality and unleash your anger!】
“Keuuu! I want to kill you! Hatred boils over! I want to tear it all down, crush it, and destroy it! “My anger is rising!”
Ed said that and slowly moved his body.
The Seven Deadly Sins, looking at that scene, burst into laughter and spoke.
【Khahahaha! Okay! Be even more angry! Anger, anger, anger, give me strength…?】
But only for a moment.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Anger suddenly stopped laughing and tilted their heads.
That’s because no matter how angry Ed is, he has no strength in himself.
At this point, a large amount of power should have come in, but why?
-Phew!
【Huh?】
The flow of thoughts boiling over at that moment.
And the tingling sensation felt in the north.
Ed’s nano blade was piercing his abdomen before he knew it.
Ed muttered as he pulled out his blade.
【Are you finally realizing it? It’s hard work to match your foolish judgment.】
【·····? What.】
【Do you think it makes sense? That I would lose against something like a test subject.】
Ed said that and stretched his arms to the sides.
This was where the remains of a small repulsor shooter were located.
However, the shattered small repulsor shooter was absorbed into Ed’s suit as soon as he stretched out his arm.
And then, as if nothing had happened, it was separated from the suit and came out perfectly restored.
【······.】
The demons of the Seven Deadly Sins looked at the scene with shocked faces.
I can’t believe that Ed’s weapon, which was destroyed by pushing its power to the limit, can be restored so easily.
At that time, Ed put his helmet back on and spoke.
【Is this what the nano suit was like without being strengthened with mana? It may be the strongest material in the natural world, but it still takes a toll.】
【····What?】
But the words Ed muttered were a complete shock to the demon of the Seven Deadly Sins.
This is because materials that have not been strengthened with mana have the same hardness and performance as trash.
To put it mildly, the saying ‘no matter how famous a sword is, if it is not strengthened with mana, it is no different from a fly swatter’ was commonly used among swordsmen.
Strengthening a material or body by circulating mana was a basic and necessary process for battle.
And this also applied to devils without exception.
There is no living thing in this world that is not affected by mana.
【Nonsense, impossible…】
For this reason, Ed’s remarks meant two things to the devil of the Seven Deadly Sins.
First. If it is that powerful even without strengthening it with mana, then the basic specs of Ed’s nanosuit are ridiculously high.
Second. If they fight properly by strengthening themselves with mana, they will be screwed.
Ed said while looking at the devil of the Seven Deadly Sins.
【Then, since the first test is over, let’s move on to the next test.】
Now that the durability test was over, Ed moved on to the sandbag test.
