( Back on the 6th Floor.)
" Adrian's Sin Ability, you ask? " Raiden asked Ragna as he comes to him after he finishes his training with Galen*.
" Yes, tell me more about it! " Ragna says with his Twelve Eye of Time activated.
Seeing Ragna's left eye, seeing the Twelve Eye being activated, Raiden then simply asks what Ragna sees during his training which Ragna shares with him.
" What did you see Mr. Clairvoyant? "
" Hmm... "
< Twelve Eye of Time: Vision Sharing >
< Target: Raiden 'Jack' Wilson >
< Target will receive the Player's vision. >
...
" Aaah..., I see... "
" He already released it, didn't he... " Raiden says which confuses the others.
" What do you mean, by that? "
" It is something that I was waiting for him to do. "
" To use his Sin Ability during these times. "
" After all, he had many people that follows him, didn't he...? " Raiden asks after seeing the vision of Adrian's fight with Ignis.
" Yes, but he let them die... "
" Why would he do that in the first place, shouldn't he keep those Hunters who followed him? "
" After all, they're all...- "
" Eat the [Arch-Deviant Fruit] right!? " Raiden interrupts.
" I know, no wonder they become so demonic in your visions. "
" Sadly, after they receive new gifts, their lives had to end, purged by Ignis's fire. " Raiden sighs as he already predicted this kind of result before entering the Tower.
" Guess, I was right that Adrian didn't really care of other people, even his followers... " Raiden reflects as he takes another sigh.
" Raiden, you... " Ragna uses his Twelve Eye, this time, to see the past.
< Twelve Eye of Time: Past Vision >
" Hmmm...? " Ragna says as he sees it.
" What did you see again, brat? " Raiden asks as he sees Ragna's eyes.
" You have doubts about him, didn't you...? " Ragna asks as he tells Raiden his reasons for even accepting the mission to hunt the other Hunters who didn't follow Adrian, especially Inquisitor Kara back then*.
" You didn't join to hunt us because you were doing Adrian's orders... "
" Instead... "
" You joined because you decided to distance yourself from him... " Ragna says as he finally knows Raiden's reason for even suddenly turning back against Adrian by joining Inquisitor Kara in the first place back then.
" Is it because...? "
" What's your question earlier, brat!? " Raiden asks, asking Ragna to restate the question he asked earlier.
" Oh, that... "
" I was wondering if you know about Adrian's Sin Core Ability? "
" Is his ability...? "
" Like 'Mimicry' or 'Copy' or something...? " Ragna asks Raiden.
" Oh no, brat..."
" Adrian's ability is more powerful than those two, despite him often having a hard time doing it... "
" For he can't simply copy another Gift Ability that usually had some small duration or imperfection in its copy form... "
" For his Ability needs to fully absorb the Gift Ability User to 'obtain' the User's very ability. " Raiden says and he then takes a sigh again.
" This Ability of his was gained after he joined the [Dark Brotherhood Sect] before he was their leader... "
" With this ability, Adrian walks his way, finding many strong people to feed the Sin Ability with their Abilities. "
" Making him obtain his victim's abilities and using him in his endless desire... " Raiden explains what shocks Ragna as he never thought that this kind of ability will exist in real life, the ability to have other people's abilities.
"( I thought that kind of power only exists in comics, manga, or manhwas... )"
"( An 'All in One'* type ability, the most luxurious and OP power a person could've dreamed for. )"
"( Having all kinds of abilities in one body, like the Avatar or All-for-One. )" Ragna recounts his references.
"( But, I never heard this kind of power exist in real life before... )" Ragna thinks to himself.
" An Ability that feeds from other's abilities, you say? " Aphrodite asks as he presents her Spiritual Form in front of them.
" Lord Aphrodite! " Kara asks.
Aphrodite went silent for a bit, as she closes her eyes, trying to process the information.
" I think I heard that kind of Abilities, before... "
" But when... "
" Huh... " Aphrodite seems to realize something.
" No, it can't be...! " Aphrodite looks at Raiden with a fearful stare.
" No, no, no, it shouldn't be possible, it shouldn't be... " Aphrodite begins to bite her thumb finger as she thinks about this.
Raiden sees Aphrodite's reaction to it as he then takes another sigh.
" So it's true what Adrian tell me back then... " Raiden says.
" It seems his words and facts really hits the jackpot, sometimes. "
" What do you mean by that? " Kara asks him.
" I'm just saying... "
" Back then, he used to brag to me about his Sin Core Ability is going to be feared by all, even by the gods after its name is revealed. "
" For his bragging about his Sin Ability is what led me to do the Demonic Contract in the first place, hence why I got the Deviant Thunder. " Raiden says as he remembers the very look of Adrian's Sin Ability back then.
" Is the Sin Ability, really that dangerous? " Battle Maiden interrupts as she also begins to worry about this information.
" Dangerous, you ask? " Raiden replied.
" This very ability is very well what you called as... beyond Dangerous, Battle Maiden. "
" The very word to describe this ability of my friend there is 'Disastrous', actually... "
" For imagine you had the ability to steal other people's powers completely, regardless of its source whether it comes from the Gift Core, the Sin Core, or even the most unused power source for a long time. "
" The Ki... " Raiden says which shocks Galen after hearing it as he immediately remembers the day his Clan was attacked.
" What did you say!? "
" That's not possible...? " Galen stuttered in his disbelief for hearing made him recount things that he tried to forget about that day.
" Yes, even the Ki... "
" I don't know much how he's able to even absorbed it, since I don't know much about it too... "
" I wasn't there when he attacked the [Hive Stinger Clan]... "
" But, knowing Adrian... "
" I guess he must've absorbed them all, hence why I realized he now also and somehow can do some Martial Arts... "
" Despite him only using it for style, only... "
" Just to brag himself off... " Raiden explains which makes the others worried.
" So, Raiden..., about this ability? " Ragna asked.
" Does it have a name...? " Ragna adds another question.
" Oh yes, that's the question you should've asked... "
" For every type of ability needs a naming to be identified, right? " Raiden says as he then says the name.
" Adrian actually has two, Sin Abilities. "
" But after many times, these Abilities combined as he always used them at the same time in order to gain new abilities. "
" Hence, because of that... "
" Adrian and many who accompanied him... "
" Called his very Sin Ability as... " Raiden stops which made the others especially Aphrodite sweats rapidly.
...
...
...
" [Greed & Glutonny]... " Raiden says the very name of Adrian's Sin Ability which brings terror upon those who hear it, even inside the System Space.
[ Location: System Space ]
" What did he just say...!? " Ragna 69 asked as he hears it in full fear.
