Looking at the dark seed in his hand, August's expression became slightly solemn.
The desire to devour continuously surged within August, making him curious about what this dark seed really was. It could even trigger the Sin of Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Moreover, most importantly, this dark seed was responding to August.
The Original Sin and the Dark Seed seemed to resonate with each other.
In the end, August decided to take a gamble and swallowed the dark seed directly.
The next moment, the power of darkness began to boil, cheering and rejoicing, as if a 50-year-old bachelor had suddenly married a wife, filled with excitement.
Representing the sinful power of Original Sin, it quickly integrated into the dark seed. The dark seed, like a sponge, began absorbing nutrients continuously, growing and strengthening itself.
Time passed by, and the dark seed continued to grow, eventually transforming into a dark fruit. When this dark fruit took shape, it completely merged with August.
Boom~
Inside August's body, the source of all magic power turned into a black 'sea' amid a thunderous roar.
The Sin of Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, directly transformed into a grand sin pattern, then merged into this sea of darkness. In an instant, a terrifying pressure like the depths of hell erupted from August.
In the living room, Sona, Rias, and others felt an incredible pressure and were filled with astonishment.
Their astonishment was not due to the overwhelming pressure or the fact that August currently had the same aura as their sister and brother. It wasn't even about August's strength that far surpassed them.
At this moment, their first reaction was that August had reached the same level as their sister and brother, Satan-class, in the bathroom!
Yes, the crucial core was the 'bathroom.'
Throughout the thousands of years in this world, a Satan-class being born in the bathroom was indeed unprecedented.
If August had achieved this, he would have created history.
At this moment, in the bathroom, August had long forgotten where he was. The difference between the Ultimate-class and the Satan-class was like night and day.
Life underwent biochemical changes, magic power underwent transformation, the power of darkness, the power of shadows, magic power, all converged together.
Especially August's race, with the power of level 7, equivalent to the ultimate-class devil in this world. Translated to August, it was the ultimate-class demon.
Looking at the whole Seven Deadly Sins series, only two individuals surpassed this level. One was the creator of the demon race, the Demon King, who was created by the Chaos. The other was Meliodas, whose strength exceeded this level, reaching the level of the Demon King, or on this world and Danmachi known as Satan-Class and Level 8.
In the story, after defeating the Demon King who tried to take over his body, Meliodas was about to go to the Demon Realm. The reason was simple: his strength had already exceeded the world's limit. If he stayed here, he would cause chaos, even unimaginable disasters.
Now August was crossing the limit of the Ultimate-class being, aiming for the level of the Demon King or Satan-Class. Moreover, under the baptism of Original Sin, August's race had vaguely surpassed the Demon clan, reaching a new realm.
Rumble~
The terrifying magic power began to rampage, and August's aura kept rising.
"Satan~"
In the living room, Sona's face was full of disbelief. You just went to the bathroom, and you barged into the same class as her sisters who have lived hundreds of years?
When did becoming Satan become so easy? This is too simple.
After more than ten minutes, everything settled down, returning to calmness. Everyone in the living room fell silent, especially Sona and Rias, both of whom suffered a heavy blow.
In the bathroom, August's face showed excitement. He finally reached Level 8.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: Ascend the Throne: Become the Lust Demon King, ascend the Demon King's throne. Reward: Demon King Authority, Advanced Gacha Draw *3!]
With August's advancement to level 8 and the completion of the mission, he obtained the Demon King Authority.
Upon receiving this authority, August's expression changed slightly.
Demon King Authority, as the name suggests, is a special authority possessed only by Demon Kings.
The authority August had was unique, absolute control over lust. August could absorb and devour all lust, being one with the Sin of Lust. As long as the world August was in still had the Original Sin of Lust, he would be immortal. Even if killed, August could be reborn in lust. After hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, August would inevitably return.
In addition, August also gained an ability. It wasn't a unique authority for August but a power that all 'Demon Kings' possessed.
Everyone killed by August couldn't be reincarnated, their souls would become the flesh and blood of the Demon King, thoroughly devoured.
This setting reminded August of the Seven Great Demon Lords in Digimon. This authority was similar to their power, every Digimon killed by the Demon Lord would have its Digicore absorbed by them, transforming into the Demon Lord's flesh and blood.
Now, August was almost the same. Anyone killed by August would be swallowed by darkness, becoming August's nourishment.
Moreover, within August's body, the original source of magic power, now fused with the dark fruit and the Sin of Lust, had turned into a sea of darkness or a sea of sin.
At this moment, August had completely transformed into a Demon King, the Demon King of Lust.
If using this world's interpretation, then he is fit to be one of the Satans!
Having reached level 8, his strength had undergone a leap. August felt incredibly refreshed.
Stepping out of the bathroom and returning to the living room, August found the atmosphere somewhat peculiar.
August couldn't articulate what was happening, but when Sona and Rias looked at him, he suddenly felt uneasy. The way these two people were staring at him was just too strange, as if they were looking at a monkey.
"Congratulations, My lord."
"Congratulations, My lord."
Hilda and Yolda came over to congratulate August. They were the happiest about August now.
The difference between the ultimate-class and satan-class was like night and day. While August, at the ultimate-class, was just a duke with a title and status in the underworld, if August reached the satan-class, it would be completely different.
As long as August wished, he could become one of the high-ranking figures in the underworld with real power.
