Chapter 780 – Sovereign of Twin Sins
The shadow receded slowly.
Returning to the darkness at the center of the chamber.
But its voice echoed one last time.
"Use it."
Lux collapsed forward onto one hand, breathing hard.
Sweat dripped from his hair onto the obsidian floor.
His chest still glowed faintly where the sigils had changed.
The system finalized the message.
[You have been blessed by the Original Sin.]
And the chamber fell silent.
For exactly three seconds.
Then something inside Lux's body made a crack.
Not metaphorically.
Not spiritually.
An actual, deeply unpleasant crack.
Lux froze on one hand against the obsidian floor.
"…Oh no."
He didn't say it out loud.
But his brain said it.
Loudly.
Very loudly.
Another crack followed.
This one traveled up his spine like someone snapping dry branches one vertebra at a time.
Lux's eyes slowly widened.
'That… doesn't sound good.'
The pain hadn't vanished like some heroic transformation moment.
No.
