Chapter 240: The Devil King's Manipulation

Seven Sins System Chapter 240. The Devil King's Manipulation

Dad maintained his focused gaze on me, his eyes unwavering. "You will find out the truth soon enough, Azrael," he reiterated, his voice resonating with an unyielding determination. "And this... will remain a secret between you and me," he declared, his words laced with a sense of grave responsibility.

Lily couldn't contain her frustration and voiced her complaint. "So, you mean you won't tell us?" she exclaimed, her tone tinged with a mix of disappointment and confusion.

Without missing a beat, Dad snapped his fingers, and a surge of his formidable demonic power rippled through the room. In an instant, a peculiar stillness settled over everyone present. Their expressions turned vacant, their eyes devoid of awareness. It was as if time itself had frozen, except for me and my father. This was his mastery over high-level manipulation, the ability to manipulate memories and halt the flow of time. I had witnessed him employ this power countless times in battles against our enemies, but seeing it used on our allies and family made me dumbfounded.

I locked eyes with my father, struggling to comprehend his actions. "Dad," I whispered, a mixture of disbelief and concern coloring my voice. It was as if a chasm had opened up between us, and I couldn't fathom his reasoning behind such secrecy.

My mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. His eyes bore into mine, brimming with bitterness and hidden sorrow. "I can't let them know, Azrael. No one should know," he emphasized, his words carrying the weight of his conviction. The gravity of the situation was palpable, and I could sense the depths of his desperation. "I have to do this to protect you and this realm. I have no other choice," he explained, his voice laced with a mixture of pain and resolve.

I couldn't ignore the intense curiosity gnawing at me, consuming my thoughts. The questions burned within me, demanding answers. "Why, Dad? What did I do? What are you hiding from me?" I pressed, my voice firm and determined. I needed to understand the truth, to unravel the secrets he held close.

He sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his burdens. The lines on his face etched deeper, reflecting the struggles he bore. "Just remember, Azrael," he began, his voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability. "Whatever happens in that trial, you must return. No matter what obstacles you face, you have to rise again." His words carried a solemnity that echoed in the air. "But when that time comes, when you discover the truth, I want you to forgive me. It's a request born out of necessity, because, my son, I truly have no other choice," he concluded, his voice trembling with a mix of sorrow and regret.

I nodded in response, trying to maintain a semblance of composure despite the swirling thoughts in my mind. "Yeah, I'll do my best to investigate them once I return to the mortal realm," I affirmed. The weight of the upcoming trials loomed large in my thoughts, overshadowing any other concerns. It was as if the trials were an impending storm, and I was bracing myself for the impact.
