In humanity, there's a Sin, a sin that humans had in their very being.
Sloth, Envy, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, and Pride.
But from the known sins, there are some sins that were dominant in every human, for they have it inside them.
Envy, Wrath, Lust, Greed, and Gluttony...
These sins are the sins resulting from every human's weak nature.
When they were weak, they hate to see and acknowledge each other's achievements and from their genuine hatred, they began to desire what the other has.
As a result of this, they began stealing from others, taking away things from others, and even destroying each other to take things from themselves.
From these five sins combined into one, it combined into the sin that truly can be considered the truest sin of humanity, Avarice (Unsatisfactory).
If Greed is basically a Sin that makes humans desire more than what they have, then Avarice is the next level where they basically want everything this world has to offer, the humans who had this will scrounge the entire planet if they have to have it all for themselves.
Every human is like this, no matter in which Timeline or Realm or even Lifetime they exist.
In the Diviners' Regime, the Diviners become gods and pick the human they like and separate their uniqueness from the others. It began to amplify this truest sin of humanity, amplifying the Avarice in their hearts.
From those who weren't Ungifted to those who were Gifted but wanted and needed more power from the gods. The Avarice of humanity becomes to grow and the Deviants see this as their advantage, thus giving the humans power through the Sin Marks given by the gods who were just picky on the humans' very life.
Through the Sin Mark, the Deviants use the Divine Punishment Brand to give humans their power, Creating Sin Cores as it grows from the very Sin Mark a human has. The Core was created by the Deviant's power and the humans' very own carnal sins.
For years, in every Timeline, they did this, in order to search for the perfect Sin Core user.
And in this 1.111th Timeline, it seems the Deviant/Demonic Monarchs, the Dark Lords, had found their greatest jackpot.
As they plan everything in their hideous realm, they let their greatest potential Sin Core User, Adrian Waterson do most of their job for them first while those lords prepared their strength to follow suit after Adrian's damage upon the earth is done, right after he becomes their physical anchor completely and awaken the very Combined Sin Ability of Avarice.

" Oh, Valkyries! " Adrian says as he realized that one of his tentacles had successfully grabbed and devoured a Valkyrie.
As he does that, Galen immediately attacks Adrian, after Ragna gave him some HP Potion in order for Galen to return to his peak again.
He rains down every technique he can muster from [Black Spirit Demon Fist], [Black Spirit Demon Kick], [Black Spirit Demon Barrage], [Black Spirit Energy Sting], [Black Spirit Thunder Sting], [Black Spirit Heaven's Push], [Black Spirit Heaven's Palm], and [Black Spirit Heaven's Rapid].
Using those techniques, despite he managed to destroy Adrian almost once again, the bastard demigod's cells still managed to regenerate and return him to his normal condition again which made him return to unleash all of his Gifts upon the Black Spirit mode Galen.

And also some of his Demonic Abilities, the abilities he also absorbed from his peers who followed in the Dark Brotherhood Sect, the abilities of those members, those followers he sacrificed for his own good.

"( Guess it seems I can put these powers to some use, I hope my sacrifices powers will work against this Martial Arts bastard... )" Adrian says as he can finally release the power he absorbed from his peers and enemies he sacrificed for years and years full.
As he releases it all, his body regenerates some of its drawbacks, the damage to his body, to wound effect, his regeneration heals them in order to maintain his rampaging assault.
Even after Adrian unleashes it all, Galen still manages to pursue him, and get closer to him which made them have to continue on close-quarter combat, the two began to exchange their true blows while Adrian summons his Avarice Sin Ability, armoring his body with its Deviant Manifestation.

Adrian attacks Galen using his [Avarice Damaging Tooth Spear], [Avarice Damaging Tooth Sword], [Avarice Damaging Deviant Quill], [Avarice Damaging Tusked Fist], [Avarice Power Spit Release], [Avarice Power Burst].
With those attacks he gives Galen some great damage while he also received more damage back from Galen for his Black Spirit Mode enhances many of his energy, spiritual, and physical capabilities for the Black Spirit Ki not only just hurts Adrian physically but also spiritually for every attack Adrian received is also mostly received to the Deviant Monarchs, the Dark Lords, they received it as it can be seen that Galen's attacks hurt their very spirit, they can felt it using their medium, the Crown.
" The human is too formidable, this is something we didn't expect... "
" This is not parred with a Divine Avatar Gift Power anymore, not even the mortal's greatest Ki, this is something even more that we don't know. "
" Something we probably missed after our defeats in many Timelines before. "
" This energy is too much for a human to have, he must've done something to himself, or gained another power in the process. "
" There shouldn't be a chance that a human Ki will reach our levels, there's not possible, there must be something that adds more power. " the Lords discussed Galen's 'Black Spirit Ki', and because of this, they realized how dangerous the power of Ki is, seeing this, they became certain that Galen must be eliminated including those others who possessed similar powers just like him.
" Waterson, you must eliminate him! "
" That Martial Artist is dangerous, you must quickly devour him. " the Deviant Lords said but before that happened before Adrian could do what they suggest.
< Aether Slash >
Ragna slashed Adrian using Dainsleif, with the Slash, he activates again the 'Anti-Regen' effect on Adrian in order for Galen to damage him more using his Black Spirit Attacks.
"( Goddamit! this is so annoying! )" Adrian says feeling insulted over time after Galen whooped his ass for ours, even after he managed to devour some of the Valkyries earlier.
"( I want more, more! )"
"( Come on this exceptional body of mine, unleash more power you stored! )" Adrian says as he then decides to release an explosive wave attack after charging a lot of energy to himself.
As it happens, Ragna begins to see it, the vision that shows what happen, but before he could react.
