69: Chapter 69 The Balance Between the Seven Sins' Larvae and Overload

Just as Zhang Hao's [Origin Heart-Wall] reached the brink of losing control due to the passive overload of absorbing the massive negative energy at the scene, the seven-colored light spheres suspended in mid-air began their final morphological metamorphosis.

The light was no longer blinding; instead, it converged and condensed inward, gradually outlining seven clear animal silhouettes emitting their respective colors. However, in stark contrast to the heavy guilt they represented, these condensed forms were not hideous and terrifying monsters, but... larvae.

The red light sphere turned into a palm-sized Lion Cub with fluffy fur, curled up as if sleeping soundly.

The orange light sphere condensed into a Baby Dragon only an arm's length long, its scales still soft and its horn buds just beginning to show, coiled up with its tail flicking unconsciously.

The yellow light sphere became a round, chubby Piglet with a twitching pink nose, looking adorably naive.

The green light sphere formed a young Lamb with curly wool and tightly closed eyes, appearing weak and harmless.

The cyan light sphere manifested as a slender Baby Snake with scales shimmering with a cold light, quietly coiled.

The blue light sphere condensed into a fluffy Bear Cub, curled into a ball as if it would never wake up.

The purple light sphere finally transformed into a Young Fox with a fluffy tail and small ears, showing a hint of cleverness even while still asleep.

Seven young beasts of seven different colors, eyes closed, floated above the multicolored black pool. They were as quiet as newborn babies, forming a bizarre and terrifying unity of opposites with the Soul-crushing pressure of negative emotions permeating the hall.

They had just been born and had not yet "opened their eyes," but their very existence already represented the authority of the seven deadly sins. They were the concrete Clones of the [Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins] concept, the prototypes of [Dominators] who would surely stir up endless waves in the future!

Zhang Hao had no time to carefully appreciate this bizarre and contrastingly cute scene; all his focus was used to combat the collapsing balance within his body. The [Origin Heart-Wall] was like an out-of-control vortex, crazily devouring the external negative energy. The originally stable Taiji diagram began to vibrate violently; the Yang Fish portion, representing order and life, rapidly dimmed, while the Yin Fish portion, representing Silence and corruption, flared with black light, nearly swallowing the other half entirely!

"Silver Star! Suppress it! Help me stabilize the core!" Zhang Hao roared in his mind, his face as pale as paper, his body trembling uncontrollably due to the conflict of energy. He felt his consciousness being submerged by endless Pride, Wrath, Greed, Sloth... the noise of various negative emotions thundered in his brain.

The [Yin Yang Star Pivot] circled him anxiously, the Taiji diagram projecting light in an attempt to help stabilize him, but against this essential energy originating from the [Dominator] level, its efforts were like trying to put out a bonfire with a cup of water.

The Black and White Clown nearby also realized Zhang Hao's dangerous state. He was no longer flustered; instead, he stood quietly in front of Zhang Hao, facing the seven closed-eyed sin larvae and spreading his arms. On his eternal crying face, a look of nearly "protective" determination appeared for the first time. His [Domain]s of "Neglect" and "Silence" seemed to expand slightly at this moment, attempting to shield Zhang Hao from some of the direct energy impact, but the effect was equally meager.

Just as Zhang Hao felt himself about to be completely swallowed by the rampaging negative energy within his body and his consciousness about to sink—

The seven closed-eyed larvae seemed to sense something; their tiny, unopened eyelids trembled... ever so slightly.

With just this minute tremor that was almost non-existent, the energy pressure in the entire hall suddenly surged again! It was as if sleeping behemoths were about to wake, casting their first gaze.

The absorption speed of Zhang Hao's [Origin Heart-Wall] suddenly accelerated once more, finally exceeding a certain critical point!

"Buzz—!"

It felt as if something inside him had shattered, yet also as if something had been reorganized. Extreme pain and a strange clarity emerged simultaneously. He suddenly raised his head; within his eyes, a golden light of order flashed in his left eye, while his right eye was completely swallowed by bottomless darkness.

Under the extreme stimulation of witnessing the birth of Dominators and the passive overload absorption of extreme negative energy, his Second Talent was forced onto an unknown path of metamorphosis. And ahead, the seven sin larvae seemed about to welcome their first "eye-opening" in this world.
