Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 975: My Sins are the best [2/2]

"I understand. Then I look forward to it. From what I can see, the easiest way to get Limitless to like you is to serve the Sirens. Lady Bella, is there anything you need help with?"

"Hmm. Not at the moment. But hold that thought. Until we leave, I need someone who knows the continent's politics. It is my responsibility that nothing hinders Honey's goals."

"In that case, Olamide would be an excellent servant, Lady Bella. He has spent years navigating the political scene. He would be much more useful than Amari. My son is quite the block head."

As I wanted to continue the previous discussion, I cleared my throat to call the attention of Zanele. The Sirens all returned to their seats around me like a pack of trained hounds. The Matriarch awkwardly sat back down.

"Lady Rhiannon, I apologize for saying something unnecessary," she began.

"No drama; seeing my Possum act like a grumpy bear for my sake gave me butterflies."

"Indeed. Some men say they give their women the world. But it's the first time I've met someone willing to cleanse entire continents for his harem. I am not even terrified of the aspect, just surprised that someone like the Successor existed."

"Hehe! Of course! That's because Darling is a fucking lunatic!"

"A better way to put it would be that Beloved is an extremely passionate lover."

"Or you could just say that Honey is a psychopathic yandere."

"Ara, you say that like it's a bad thing, Bella? I find Shujin irresistible in this regard. Just how many do you even know who would launch such a crusade for the sake of one woman?"

"I know, right? It's romantic, like Helen of Troy! Anyone and their mother could give a ring, but Dearest knows how to sweep a woman off her feet. Fighting pedophilia, child trafficking, and two continents' worth of reapers. All because of a single washboard loli."

"Hmm… Husband is perfect the way he is."

"Possum is the best!"

Hearing my girls praise my extremely violent tendencies made me smile wryly. Who was worse, the fucker who decided such a thing or my harem for finding it romantic?

Olamide closed his eyes as he nodded. Somehow, I wanted to tell him that not to be impressed.

"Then let me continue with my findings. The next to the Sin of Envy is sloth. They come in fifth. Their personalities vary, but there is something else that binds them together. All the Sins of Sloth die from being backstabbed by those they once called allies.

"They are only Sins that do not share a common personality. Some end up being cold and calculating, others wild and passionate. But their {fates} always manifest in the same manner. United by the same desire for an army with unwavering loyalty."

"Doesn't that mean that they all become Summoners?" I guessed.

"Yes. That is the case. I am no expert in Summoners, but Sins of Sloth are more… I am not sure how to explain it. They are unhinged like the Sins of Envy in a different manner."

Ignoring Zanele's vague-as-hell description, I looked at my Sin of Sloth. Bella tapped her chin with her finger absentmindedly. She had her arms crossed, deep in thought. When she noticed me staring at her, she cleared her throat before speaking.

"Her analysis is right for the most part. I was betrayed by the Legião Azul. The terrorist organization I formed. {Code} was borne of my desire to have an army that would fight for me that never sleeps, eats, or gets tired. One that would never betray me."

I nodded at her words; anyone who saw the Soulless would understand why {Code} evolved the way it did. Bella furrowed her eyebrows as she bit her lip. Wondering what was up, I reached out to her.

"Something wrong, honey?" I asked.

"I'm not sure what it is at the moment. I think I understand Zanele's point. Exa sent me Zanele's memories of the Sins of Sloth. They all had one common troublesome trait. Or more like a personality quirk."

"Oh? And what is that?"

Bella made a complicated expression. Then, she answered, "They all seemed to be control freaks who wished to enslave the Successor. Unlike the other Sins, none of them committed suicide. Each one was killed by her own Successor."

"Hmm. Is that so."

"What do I feel like you don't actually care about, Honey? That is all you have to say?"

Seeing Bella pout in irritation made me smile; I reached out my hand, and she took it immediately. I then pulled her into my embrace.

"Well, Mrs. Code, compared to you, I might as well be a rock. I don't mind if you did control me. If it's for someone as ravishing as you, I would be more than willing."

The Brazilian began to giggle as she hugged me, "Geez, you're making a fool out of me like a cat and a shoe. Who told you to be so charming? Huh?"

"That's because my Sins are the best there was, is, and ever will be," I boasted.

I pulled her in close. It was more of a matter of trust. The other Successors probably didn't trust their Sins of Sloth like I did. Mine was willing to nuke the world into extinction for my sake.

The girls all made wonderful smiles at my praise. Zanele and Olamide had vacant expressions. It was during such times that I often remember that the people at Hellsend say the girls and I flirt too much. But anyone who sees my harem would understand.

"Eh-hem. Zanele, I should be going next, right? The Sins of lust."

"Ah yes. The Sins of Lust are second to last. They are arguably the easiest to understand of the Sins…."

Before the Matriarch could finish, the Sirens all began to speak out one by one.

Bella butted in by saying, "Let me guess, they're the kinkiest?"

"Doubt it. Not with the pervert here. Maybe they're the horniest? Nah, hold up, Possum's definitely the horniest."

"Stop calling me a pervert, you jailbait! It's most likely simpler. Like the lewdest or most sex-crazed of the Sins," Lilly suggested.

"Haha! Jas is not that lewd! Probably? Yeah! She isn't! I got it! The Sins of Lust are the ones who have the sexiest ass! Right, Darling?"

"It's perhaps the one who fantasizes about sex the most. Even by my standards, the erotic plays that Jas and Shujin act out are a bit too much."

"Hmm… maybe it's the most open to new things related to sex? Beloved is quite eager to experiment. And the costumes Jas wears are, well… alluring?"

"You rude little harlots. I am sitting right here! Have some common courtesy! There are other people! Stop slandering me in front of Husband."

"Ah, don't mind me, Lady Jas; I am no longer surprised by how much you flirt with each other. I find it cute. I am even taking notes."

"Amari and Mia said it was quite uhm… intense. They warned me, but clearly it was not enough." Olamide then grunted as well.

I couldn't even say anything back to the Matriarch and Prince. All I could think at the moment was how much I missed the girls insulting the fuck out of each other. It drove home the point that my family was all present.
