In the time that followed, Lucian ran through the simulation of contacting the Lizard People countless times in his mind.
He had no coins now to run simulations. He had to run them through his mind.
Before he knew it, thirteen days had passed.
It was time for him to be born.
As the last drop of spiritual liquid in the pool was absorbed by him, a restless power erupted from Lucian's body.
A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, but because it was too weak, it could not break through the blockade of the canopy.
After everything was settled, a little Angel bathed in holy light appeared.
This was Lucian in the Holy Spirit stage.
At this moment, his body seemed to be real and illusory. A pair of small black wings flapped gently, allowing him to float in mid air.
He smelled both holy and evil at the same time.
This was the Fallen Angel.
Slowly, Lucian opened his eyes. He looked down at his new body and blushed.
At this moment, he was completely naked. Only his wings were covered in black feathers. The rest of his body was exposed.
Although he looked like a baby, Lucian, who had retained his memories as an adult, was still a little uncomfortable.
Then, with a thought, the light on his body flowed and formed a shirt on his body.
His was a spiritual body to begin with. Using his powers to create clothes was a simple matter.
Having dealt with the awkwardness, Lucian began to take stock of his current state.
"System, check the panel!"
[Host: Lucian
Level: Holy Spirit Stage
Birthplace: Demon Continent, Demonic Forest, Demonic Pool
Talent: Holy Spirit Blessing (Green), Holy Spirit Fire (Blue), Holy Spirit Possession (Blue)]
From previous simulations, Lucian knew he couldn't deal with the Goblins given his current strength.
In the third simulation, he entered the depths of the mine and realized how large the Goblin population was.
Moreover, they ran a tight organization. Even after sneaking in, he would be immediately recognized.
In addition, the most troublesome and dangerous person was the priest.
With their current overall strength, the Goblins were considered a relatively strong force in the Demon Forest's [Land Territory].
Through his earlier musings, Lucian had decided to change course.
He planned to subdue the Lizard People tribe in the next area to increase his strength.
The Lizards were weaker than the Goblins. When it came to strategy, he was more confident.
Thus, according to the route in his memory, Lucian nimbly shuttled through the Demonic Forest.
He skirted the Goblin territory and entered the Lizard's area without incident.
The Lizard People were obviously more loosely managed than the Goblins.
Although they also had sentries, they were clearly unprofessional.
The sentry's line of sight did not cover all the routes.
And the Lizards moved without pattern. They did not move as a group, as the Goblins did.
Lucian could see them now and then, in ones and twos, moving aimlessly through the territory.
Lucian had hidden himself well, taking full advantage of his small size and mobility.
Flexibly moving through trees and bushes, he remained undetected.
It didn't take him long to encounter a lone Lizard.
This was a Lizard with Realm Two strength.
With Lucian's current strength, he could creep behind it silently.
Then, he activated the Holy Spirit Possession and successfully occupied the Lizard's body.
Through time, he had a deeper understanding of the gifts he possessed.
Holy Spirit Possession does not require killing the other party.
He could also possess them while they were alive.
In this way, he could also look into the other party's memories
Through the memories, Lucian gained a deeper understanding of the Lizard People.
The Lizard People were a hybrid descendant of Dinosaurs and originally held a pivotal position in the Demon Forest.
However, since they had encountered a huge accident ten years ago, their kind had fallen into decline.
At that time, heavenly fire descended from the sky and landed in the Lizard People's territory.
Faced with Heaven's wrath, they could not fight back at all. They could only wail and flee.
Overnight, more than half of the group's combat strength was lost.
High-level combat strength had nothing more to speak of.
From then on, the entire tribe fell from grace, and those remained were mostly old, weak, and sick.
Their combat power was even less than a tenth of their peak of glory.
Not only were they no longer as glorious as they used to be, but they could not even guarantee a stable supply of food to sustain their survival.
Meanwhile, the neighboring Goblins had taken advantage of the chaos to encroach on a lot of their territory.
The reason why they were able to survive in the end was that the Lizard People's bloodline was inextricably linked to the Dragon race.
The Dragon race, they were considered a top faction in the entire Holy Demon Continent.
In the eyes of the Dragons, the Demonic Forest was insignificant.
Therefore, because they were afraid of facing the Dragon's wrath, the Goblins did not exterminate the Lizard People.
But even so, the accumulated weakness in recent years had caused the number of Lizard People to plummet.
They are on the brink of extinction.
It was already very difficult for them to survive, let alone increase their strength.
There was no Realm Sixth in the entire Lizard People tribe.
This situation with the Lizards was something Lucian had never understood before.
But clearly the situation was working in his favor.
Lucian's face lit up with delight. The decision had been made. The plan began with subduing the Lizard People tribe first.
Moreover, with the simulator, he was confident that he could lead the Lizard tribe back to prosperity.
Now that the decision had been made to subdue the Lizard People, every one of them here would be his subordinate in the future, a part of his empire.
As soon as he decided, he came out of the Lizard's body that he had possessed.
He didn't intend to occupy the body for long, let alone kill him.
After dispelling the Holy Spirit, Lucian floated in the air and smiled at the Lizard in front of him.
After a moment of confusion, the Lizard seemed to recall his previous encounter.
It had just felt it lose control of its body.
It felt awful, even a little scary.
When he saw that his previous encounter was caused by a small figure like this, he immediately became arrogant.
The Lizard said to Lucian with a fierce expression, "Hey, little man, what did you just do to me?"
Lucian glanced at him. "You don't need to know. Take me to your tribe's gathering place now!"
"Hmph! Little guy, you're quite arrogant! Look at your delicate skin. Do you want to crawl into the pot yourself? Let me tell you, there's no need. We Lizards like to eat it raw!"
Then he launched himself at Lucian.
Lucian's eyes narrowed with anger, but he didn't flinch.
As the Lizard pounced, claws raised to strike, Lucian moved.
He raised his tiny fist and punched the Lizard in the chest.
If anyone else was here, they would see a comical scene.
A small Angel collided with a Lizard a dozen times his size.
Incredibly enough, it's the huge Lizard that was sent flying with a single punch.
The petite Angel remained floating in place, not moving an inch.
Lucian hadn't used his full strength. He hadn't intended to kill.
Now the Lizard spat out a mouthful of blood. The arrogance was gone. He looked at Lucian fearfully, trembling.
Lucian peered at it briefly, his face expressionless. "Take me to your gathering place!"
"Yes, yes!"
The Lizard bore through the pain and climbed nimbly to his feet, leading the way.
Lucian followed behind slowly.
It was then that he heard the system's voice in his head.
[Ding! Host has beaten up the Lizard. This is in accordance with 'Pride' of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'!"
[Congratulations to the host for committing one of the Seven Deadly Sins for the first time. You have received a reward…]
