" [Greed & Gluttony]...! " Ragna 69 says as he walks around the System Space, thinking of it so hard.
" What's the problem with that ability, old 69? " Ragna 100 says as he sees him while resting his back on the wall.
" You don't understand, the dangerousness of the Sin Abilities didn't you...!? " Ragna 69 asks 100 about this as he holds his head.
" Shit, my head hurts after overthinking it... "
" Hearing that ability name really drives me nuts. "
" Oh really, old 69!? " Ragna 100 asks.
" What's so dangerous about that Demonic Ability, I wonder...? " Ragna 100 says as he approached Ragna 69 with his big-ass body.
" What's so dangerous about it, you ask!? " Ragna 69 replied while staring at Ragna 100 so menacingly.
" Wha's so dangerous about it, YOU ASK!!!? " Ragna 69 increases his voice as he remembers what happened back in the 69th Timeline.
[ Flashback: 69th Timeline. ]
[ 2021 ]
" Carla...!!! " Ragna 69 holds Carla 69 (Carla from the 69th Timeline) back then.
At the time, Carla's hands are being bitten off by the Gluttony user in that timeline, back then, it was not used and combined with the Greed ability.
" I won't forgive you... "
" Thorndamn!!! " Ragna 69 says at the time as he shouts to Thorndamn who uses the Gluttony Ability on his Carla.
...
" Wait the ability is that dangerous!? " Ragna 100 was so shocked to hear it.
" Yes, of course, you big muscular idiot! " Ragna 69 yells at Ragna 100.
" Back in my Timeline, the powers and abilities of demons are still very dangerous and troublesome!!! "
" Even if you were Gifted too much with the power of the Diviners (gods), it will still not be enough! not enough "
" For the Deviant (Demon) Monarchs, Lords... "
" Was on their peak at my Timeline... " Ragna 69 explains to Ragna 100 about it.
" You and the Ragnas after you, including Ragna Current, are all lucky that the Diviners had almost defeated the Deviants and their monsters... "
" Back then our enemies are from both sides!!! you know! "
" I'll tell you this '100', if it not by me, 'Twelve' and my Timeline's Carla... "
" You and the others wouldn't be here... " '69' says, recounting the catastrophic things before the end of his Timeline.
" You and your warrior/berserker life, thinking me some kind of a weak fool who relies on knowledge rather than strength... "
" You think everything can't be done with brute strength...! " Ragna 69 says to Ragna 100 about his views on everything.
" Yes, great power and strength may support our lives for the time being...! "
" But what if it was stolen from us? taken away from us and instantly used by the one who stole it! huh! ?"
" What can you do to take it back!? just go retreat and train hard as you can!? " Ragna 69 says as he yells at Ragna 100 for being arrogant and ignorant for in his Timeline (the 100th Timeline), he lives in glory for nothing really worries him except he too also had the same fate, loosing the Carla from his Timeline, betrayed by the Diviners and those, etc etc etc.
" I'm... "
" I'm sorry, old 69... " Ragna 100 says as he then kneels before him to state his regret.
" Please forgive my ignorance once more, my previous self... "
" For again I have disrespected your sacrifices for us, for all of us... "
" I'm sorry that I also forgot that you're the one who has the most miserable lifetime of us all! " Ragna 100 then bows before Ragna 69 as he uses his hand to cover his eyes, grieving his loss.
...
( Outside the System Space. )
" You're saying that Adrian needs to absorb the ability from another Ability User in order to obtain it fully, right? " Ragna Current (MC) asks Raiden about it, still wondering about the Ability's very powerful.
" Yes, remember this ability is not just simply having a brief copy of another Ability. "
" Adrian's ability here is able to obtain the other abilities as his own, permanently. "
" So because of this, I advise you engage him at long-rage which could be difficult for you since it seems you lack those skills. " Raiden says which is true since Ragna's long-range skills didn't give as much damage as Ragna's combat skills despite those skills costing the same amount of power to perform, which is such a waste.
"( If only I'm able to decrease the skill costs... )"
"( I think that is more efficient rather than just raising its effect up, for now. )" Ragna says for he believes saving his power is crucial in this place and time.
"( Dammit, is there some kind of passive at least from the System to do so? )" Ragna wonders, thinking hard about it.
"( If only I able to... wait...! )"
" Raiden, can I ask you something!? " Ragna suddenly asks, quitting his thoughts.
" What is it...!? "
" Do you know how did Adrian use the [Greed & Gluttony] ability in battle...? " Ragna asks in his sheer curiosity.
" Well... " Raiden thinks for a bit as he hears this.
"( How did Adrian do it, he asks, huh? )" Raiden thinks as he tries to remember those times when Adrian use this very ability of his.
"( I think I've seen him many times performing the ability... )"
"( Around 13 times if I recount. )" Raiden recounts it, trying to refresh his memory on remembering how Adrian used the ability in the first place.
" Oh yes... "
" Ragna, you're asking about how he does it, right!? " Raiden asks Ragna and he explains how Adrian uses that very ability.
" So basically he uses Gluttony to eat the Ability User whole and let the Greed ability to absorbed its powers and abilities, huh? "
" Yes, I think that's how he did it. "
" Adrian always used the ability during close-ranged battles or in middle-ranged battles. "
" But never used it in long-range for some reason. "
" Oh, I see, now! "
" Hmm...? "
" The [Greed & Gluttony] ability can't be used at long range! "
" Do you have anything else that you could tell me, Raiden...? "
" Like if Adrian, somehow, had trouble on using this Ability due to something...? " Ragna asks Raiden which made him think.
"( Had trouble using the ability..., huh...? )" Raiden tries to recount.
"( Now that you said it, I think it happened once..., when... )"
"( Ahhh! )" Raiden suddenly remembers as he seems to get the answer.
"( That time! )"

Extra:
Ragna from the 100th Timeline/ Ragna 100 the Berserker lives a very glorious life for he is so powerful hence he never had trouble during his youth and adult life, being powerful as hell.
He had what every man desired, having a great body shape, wealth, and fame, also even had many wives. But since he is also tied by fate, he finally gets his favorite person in life, his constant granddaughter in every timeline, Carla from the 100th Timeline.
He had many happy times with her, raising her into her adulthood and becoming a Divine Hero like in every timeline before. But sadly, just like in the previous Timeline, a tragedy happened to both him and Carla which could be worse if Ragna Twelve and Ragna 69 didn't appear right on time.
...
Ragna Berserker depends heavily on his power and strength hence why he had so few skills to learn since he probably think to ever learn them in the first place. But despite this, he has actually apprenticed himself in the way of the Martial Arts for that is one of the very main criteria for men to have in that Timeline.
