Chapter 2204 Celebrations

After everything that transpired, celebrations ensued, and it didn't start anywhere but in the Demon Layer of Greed! Yes, we threw a huge party right in Hell. Millions of demons joined us as celebrations started all across the city that Mammon managed, which was mostly made of gold. There weren't just big and ugly demons, whole families lived here, children, mothers, grandparents, and so on.

It was surprising how advanced the families were here, being all nuclear families instead of just random demons gathering or foraging around endless wastelands. Mammon had imitated the societies of other worlds with his Layer, deciding to first bring order and then bring capitalism.

After all, what better for an Archdemon of Greed than spread capitalism the most? Endless expansion, all kinds of items and things to sell, endless profit! He really figured out a good way to get money and slowly grow stronger.

Because of his Sin of Greed, his Crown only grew stronger through the accumulation of Wealth. So to gather more and more Wealth, he had to change the entire structure of this Layer and its society, even if he didn't want to.

The festivities started when we finally gathered together and started moving to the city once more. Of course, we made sure to gather any corpses left behind and bring them with us, alongside the Loot they dropped thanks to the effects of my World Realm Core Abilities!

The people around us greeted us, the demons of all shapes, sizes, and ages were already beginning celebrations, oddly energetic music and dances started. There was a large group of demons wearing festivity clothes marching already. Their clothes were rather colorful, always wearing the masks of bigger and even meaner-looking demonic creatures.

"What's this festivity? We never saw this the first time we visited!" Said Nephiana. "Woah!"

"Yeah, so many people dancing and singing! It is kind of catchy, isn't it~?" Lilith giggled, as her long dragon tail was dancing by the rhythm.

"Mama, mama! Look, there's a lot of food stalls! Can we go eat something?" Scarlet asked me, drooling as she pointed into the distance.

"Mammon got a banquet for us at the palace, so let's just get there and eat, dear." I said. "Be patient."

"Aw come on!" Scarlet pouted and crossed her arms.

"Don't be like this, my daughter. We shall have the greatest feast, calm down." I giggled, patting her head.

It made me so happy she was here right now, and that I hadn't lost her back then. When she was taken away from me, I never felt so afraid in my entire life. It was such a horrible sensation of both despair and wrath.

I guess that's why the Primordial Sin itself selected such a trauma when it saw through my memories. Apparently, Primordial Sins work much more differently than your average sin, much more intrinsically and philosophically.

Its choses you as their vessel instead of simply becoming a power you get. It also finds what was your life's greatest sin to choose you, picking the exact moment you went through that sin the most.

When wrath consumed me, when they took Scarlet away…

And using those memories of my life, it draws power. The more ingrained the anger and wrath of that time becomes into my soul, the mightier the sin becomes.

And yeah, I have to admit it, even now as I am happy, deep down, I still possess an endless anger, one that hasn't gone away at all.

This anger and wrath, it makes me want to destroy those bastards that took her away, I killed one, but I won't stop until I kill the other two Outer Gods behind this and all their little minions if necessary.

And I won't have any mercy…

[The [Primordial Sin of Wrath] is delighted with your ever-growing resolve fueled by wrath against those that wronged you!]

[You gained +5.000 Hell Points.]

Huh?

Is this how this thing works?

I see, how strange.

So when Mammon said that Primordial Sins can be "cultivated" by constantly doing what the sin is about, he wasn't wrong! The reason he keeps endlessly accumulating wealth is to continue his Primordial Sin of Greed cultivation.

And Satan was probably always furious, driven by anger and madness, therefore his sin was in constant growth. I don't think I can be as angry and stupid as he is, but this fury I have deep down within me only grow stronger with each passing second…

[The [Primordial Sin of Wrath] has never tasted such a delightful and refined wrath, one driven by emotions of love and an endless drive for vengeance against those that hurt the ones you love.]

[You gained +5.000 Hell Points.]

"Oh well, this is going to be easy, huh?"

However, after that, I tried getting angrier, but nothing happened! I guess I am not getting things easily. I'll have to see into how to properly cultivate this stupid thing later though, I want to enjoy the banquet and see all my rewards, because they are MANY.

Anyways, once inside of the golden castle of my little husband, we made our way inside, greeted by the loyal demons that served him. The celebrations outside only became a bit of a background noise as we sat around a huge table made of gold. The plates, spoons, forks, knives, jugs, everything was also made of gold.

It felt like we were dinning with King Midas or something, Mammon truly had a funny sense of fashion. It wasn't just gold though; everything was also decorated with precious jewels and diamonds.

And not any diamonds or gold though, these were all high and valuable Demonic Treasures mined in the Realm of Greed's mountains and caves, containing high and rich quantities of Demonic Energies, precious materials for any demon's cultivation, yet Mammon was using them to eat and drink.

We were currently at the rooftop, where we could see the rest of the city from above, and all the people. Mammon decided to speak with them, as we were being constantly served a delicious banquet.

As he did his little speech to celebrate today's victory, I checked the System messages.
