Unlike the original story where Joan of Arc hitched a ride, Li Wei simply took Joan of Arc to a car dealership and bought her a nice car, which cost about a million yuan in Chinese currency.
Joan of Arc was very curious when she saw Li Wei pull out so much money.
"You didn't go and rob a bank, did you?"
"Huh? I'm a mobile bank myself, why would I need to rob someone?" Li Wei scoffed, dissatisfied.
"Mobile banking? What does that mean?" Joan of Arc asked, puzzled.
"It means I can print banknotes myself."
"What?! Li Wei, you actually printed counterfeit money?!" Joan of Arc said angrily, "Don't you know that's unacceptable?"
"They didn't say it was counterfeit money. If it were fake, do you think those shopkeepers would be so careless?" Li Wei said speechlessly.
"Hmm? That seems to make sense... but didn't you say..."
"The banknotes I print are even more real than the real ones, so don't worry."
“But you also broke the law…” Joan of Arc argued.
"Pah! I can say black is white and white is black. You can subvert the truth and talk to me about the law."
“That’s just sophistry,” Joan of Arc said, frowning slightly.
"Yeah, if you're not happy, bite me!" Li Wei said, hands on his hips, in a very thuggish manner.
"That's just who I am, so what? If you don't like me, just leave." Li Wei picked at his ear.
"You, you, hmph!" Joan of Arc turned away angrily. "Fine, I'm leaving!"
After saying this, Joan of Arc left.
……
"Li Wei, that idiot! He clearly just wanted me to leave because of something, but he insisted on doing it this way. Do you think I'm that stupid? Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
Joan of Arc muttered to herself in a childish tantrum, "Hmph, they never tell me anything, do they think I'm a child?"
"stupid stupid stupid!"
……
After watching Joan of Arc leave, Li Wei sighed softly and shifted his attention from the real world to his sea of consciousness.
"So? Are you sure Joan of Arc was one of our followers?"
In the sea of consciousness, the voice of the future came.
"You already know the answer in your heart, why are you still asking this question?"
Li Wei replied, "That makes sense. So, is this why we were inexplicably teleported to this instance?"
"That should be right. The Gate of Truth responded to the people of this world, and that person happens to be an indispensable character in this instance's cycle of reincarnation, Jeanne d'Arc as the Ruler."
"Given such a deep connection, it's not surprising that it would resonate with the Gate of Truth."
Li Wei said calmly, "So, this is the world that should have belonged to us?"
"If we want to, what in the world isn't ours?" A disdainful laugh echoed in my mind.
"That's different. If it's something unrelated, I wouldn't bother to steal it."
"The premise is that it didn't pique your interest, right?" Future laughed. "Such a high and mighty god, with this kind of mentality."
"Don't use such a metaphor that even you find insulting."
So what do you want from me?
“Open up more power permissions.” Li Wei said without room for doubt: “Currently, after the second stage of the Seven Deadly Sins is released, there will be a cooling-off period of time.”
"If this continues, we will lose this dungeon battle."
"If you lose, this body will die, and once this physical body inevitably dies... you know the consequences."
The future has fallen silent.
"That monster will come out, right?"
"I have driven away most of my body's instincts and sealed them away. What remains here is only slightly more than that of a normal person."
"As you know, this can be seen as one of our shared shackles."
"Not only will that monster appear... even..."
Li Wei's gaze turned icy as he said this: "Do you understand?"
...In the sea of consciousness, the future shivered.
Something even more terrifying than that monster... will appear.
"Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, and the probability of it happening is not high."
"But even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance..." Future stopped there.
How much power do you need?
"...If necessary, we'll tear the God apart with our bare hands!"
Li Wei said with absolute certainty.
"Are you crazy? This requires a lot of power?!" Future exclaimed in shock, "What about the seal?!"
"So all these forces are expended by your part."
“Even the Gate of Truth, the Tree of the End of Civilization, and even higher powers—I need you to give them to me when I need them.”
"……it is good."
After a brief silence, Future replied in this way.
The current conflict between him and his partner is reconcilable; in fact, it could be said that the two have never been adversaries, and the only conflicting aspects are more playful banter.
After making a deal with the future, Li Wei shifted his focus back to his body.
Then he clearly felt that his physical strength was increasing faster and more than before.
Li Wei clenched his fist, briefly assessed the situation, and then opened his personal panel to check—
Name: Li Wei
Race: Human?
Constitution: 1974
Power: 1998
Stamina: 1965
Agility: 1928
Charisma: 11?
Job placement: masker
Real name: Unknown
Talents: Omniscience and Omnipotence (pseudo)? Master of Original Sin (pseudo)? Advanced Body Control, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (pseudo)? +? ? ?
Skills: Seven Deadly Sins - Greed (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Pride (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Sloth (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Lust (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Envy (False)? Seven Deadly Sins - Gluttony (False)? All-Seeing Eye (False)? Eye of Truth (False)? Life Force?
Possesses the following Noble Phantasm: Gate of Truth (Imitation)? Roman Myriad - Tree of the End of Civilization?
Compared to the previous version, this panel has doubled the attributes, and there have also been some changes in skills and talents. The talent section now includes Advanced Body Control and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (pseudo), and the skills now include Life Force.
Of course, apart from his advanced body control, everything else was marked with a question mark, which was the main god's doubt about Li Wei's abilities.
The more question marks there are, the higher the alert level with the main god. If it is judged to be uncontrollable or seriously dangerous, it will be eliminated.
This is also why Li Wei doesn't increase the panel value too much at once; doing so would hasten the main god's suspicion of him.
Li Wei has never been afraid of the main god; he just finds it inconvenient to confront it for the time being. Of course, saying this might just be a whim, out of boredom, or perhaps a perverse sense of humor.
"The feast is about to begin, let's go find some appetizers."
Li Wei closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes revealing light gray veins.
"Overclocking adjustment, 600% improvement in thinking, godlike logic!"
"Perception enhanced by 400%, sixth sense strengthened!"
"...Are they concentrated there?"
Li Wei said calmly.
PS:
psa: Maybe it's because I'm mentally exhausted, or maybe I'm just tired. Anyway, this is my last update this year. There's so much I want to say, but it's hard to put into words.
See you next year! The next update will also be next year.
Happy New Year!
Chapter 294 Baptism of the Seven Deadly Sins
Li Wei whistled, and a small bird flying in the sky heard it and landed on his outstretched left palm. Then, the nail of Li Wei's right index finger became sharp and long, and the next second it pierced into the bird's body.
"Injection of mutated hormones, 1% of instinct is shared."
Black smoke began to rise from Li Wei's palm, as if flames were enveloping the bird and then burning.
"The baptism of gluttony."
"arrogant."
"greedy."
"envy."
"fury."
"Lust/desire".
"lazy."
"The Baptism of the Seven Sins".
"Possession of evil."
A scream escaped from the bird's beak, and the next moment, as the power of the Seven Deadly Sins vanished, the bird disappeared.
Then Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a ball of black flame more than four meters in size appeared beside him. Within the flame emerged seven black birds, three pairs of eyes on the left and right, each corresponding to one of the seven deadly sins (black, red, yellow, gray, white, and green), and one purple eye on their head. These birds, which resembled eagles and stood four or five meters tall, were pitch black and their bodies emitted wisps of black smoke as they dissipated.
The Seven Deadly Beasts.
After experiencing the power of the Seven Sins Beast, which was merely a fabrication of the Seven Deadly Sins, Li Wei nodded slightly. As a flawed product, this Seven Sins Beast was already quite good, at least in terms of its strength in this Holy Grail War.
"Unfortunately, my current abilities are insufficient to summon the Seven Deadly Beasts of the Origin. I can only use this method to possess a portion of their power, otherwise..."
Otherwise, even if this world were cleansed, it would be easy; in its entirety, even the Supreme God would be no match for it.
The Seven Deadly Sins Beasts are a strange life form that arose alongside Li Wei's Seven Deadly Sins powers. From the moment of their birth, they were a stratum above the gods. As long as evil in the world persists, their origin will never perish.
Moreover, as a derivative life form of the Seven Deadly Sins, it also possesses the abilities of the Seven Deadly Sins, and is even more violent in its use than Li Wei.
Its current form is, of course, not the true appearance of the Seven Deadly Beasts. It is only because Li Wei used the bird as a medium that it has transformed into this form.
"Let's go."
With a light push of his right foot, Li Wei jumped onto the back of the Seven Sins Beast. The next second, the Seven Sins Beast flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
At this moment, some changes appeared on Li Wei's panel.
Job introduction: masker → masker, rider, caster, berserker, assassin.

"Shiro, are we not going to use the Void Garden this time?" Semiramis asked.
"No, you don't need to come. You have more important things to do than this negotiation."
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada said with a smile.
"Oh? You value this collaboration highly, don't you?" Semiramis pressed.
