Chapter 1060 The Unoccupied Throne



Chapter 1060 The Unoccupied Throne

'Your bloodline gives you the right to contend for his throne. Now the question is– do you have what it takes to claim it?'

Eren remained silent for a moment as he processed what Alephee had said to him so far. He started understanding why Argo was on his toes at the time of granting him the Sin Series Mark. He also understood why the Demonmir tried to kill him in front of everyone at the risk of his own safety.

The butcher took a while to respond. And when he did, he smiled.

'Haah! I am not after anybody's throne. I wasn't trying to become a half-blood with such a special bloodline anyway.

I am grateful for the benefits it provides. But with or without those benefits assisting me, I'll do what I intended to do all along.

When the time comes, I'll have my own throne.'

Alephee was pleased with Eren's answer. The butcher didn't feel special because he had inherited such a special bloodline. As far as he was concerned, it was all an accident. This thought process enabled him to stay true to the path he was treading on.

Plus, receiving such a bloodline wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. It put Eren in the crosshairs of the Demon Princess who had decided to compete for the unoccupied throne.

Eren's mind started connecting the dots as soon as such vital information was provided to him. He scratched his recently grown stubble as he asked another question to Alephee.

'What about the Mark of the Seven Sins? Was this unique source of power created by the same man?'

Alephee didn't take long to answer.

'That's right.

You may not know this. Eliza interrupted the process of taking its course when you fainted after receiving the Mark of the Seven Sins for the first time.

This was because the seven-headed snake statue that represented the Wills of the Seven Planes of Sin treated you as their rightful owner. You didn't need to prove your worth to them like the rest of the subjects. You would have received all the Sin Series Marks then and there, had Eliza not intervened.'

'Damn that old hag!'

Eren didn't care about being the inheritor of Elder Ichor. Nonetheless, he would have welcomed the benefits it had to offer him.

Eren was about to curse Elize some more but Alephee provided him with an explanation.

'In Eliza's defense, she thought that receiving multiple Sin Series Marks at the same time might break your soul. Which would make sense if you didn't have the Elder Ichor's bloodline.

No matter how strong and talented Eliza is, she couldn't have possibly known about this bloodline or the effects it would have on the Seven-headed snake statue.

So she stopped the process midway. That mummified Sage didn't want to lose you while trying to fatten you at that time after all.'<.com>

Alephee chuckled before adding further.

'I was keeping tabs on Demonmir with my soul sense. His subconscious kept shouting at you as the usurper of his domain. That means the Demon Prince who has overtaken him doesn't know that you have the Elder Ichor bloodline.

I'm sure he would have done something extreme at that time if he knew about your status. The Demon Prince of Wrath would have resorted to using Ottoman in a suicide attack if he knew about your status as the inheritor of the Elder Ichor.

You are no usurper. The Domains of Sin belong to the Elder Ichor bloodline, and thus, to you. In fact, it's him who could be called a usurper.'

Eren was almost out of the land of ice and snow. No one could use their Sansara interface properly here because it was off the map. However, Rufus had been killed here. The butcher didn't want to be here when other moderators came looking for Rufus.

Alephee kept explaining Eren's status as the latter traversed the land.

'This is also the reason why you had so much diversity when using the Domain of Wrath right from the moment you activated it for the first time.

Think about it.

You can boost your body stats using Wrath Mana. You can turn your opponents into creatures of wrath and control them. And you can turn them into wrath flames after killing them, giving you their experiences and achievements.

How can a single Sin Series Ability grant you so many diverse ways of using it? As capable as your soul is of carrying the Sin Series Marks, it wouldn't have been possible for you unless you had this bloodline.'

Eren was a bit overwhelmed when he received this piece of information from Alephee. Only now did he understand why the Sin Series Abilities gave him such powers. The drawbacks he faced from using those Abilities were minimal while their effects were anything but normal.

Even the most recently acquired Ability Domain of Gluttony was as multifaceted as the Sin of Wrath because it was a domain-type Ability as well. This was also the reason why Eren's body was capable of using wrath and lust mana for himself.

Alephee paused for a while before adding further.

"Beelzebub's warnings made it very clear. I guess some of the Demon Princesses are now plotting to take the unoccupied throne for themselves. The empty throne must have encouraged them.

It is kind of understandable if you consider the demons' core nature. I'm surprised they waited this long.

The Demon Prince of Wrath must be one of those ambitious demons. I wonder how many Demon Princes are with him on this. Things would become really difficult if they found out about you and your bloodline.'

Alephee's voice turned grim when she spoke about Eren's potential enemies. She knew more than anybody on the land of Anfang that the Demon Princes would lay waste to the entire continent of Anfang if they came to know about Eren's existence.

Eren was definitely not ready for facing enemies of Demon Princes' levels. He needed time to grow.
