Seven Sins System Chapter 309. Unborn III

"We don't!" Aria retorted with unwavering conviction. Her gaze bore into me, and her eyes were filled with an earnest intensity. "We angels witness our fair share of heart-wrenching moments too," she continued, her voice firm. "Mortals often find themselves teetering on the brink of despair, their only lifeline being the faith they place in us. They pray fervently, they fast, and they shed tears of anguish," she passionately defended her perspective.

I remained focused on my task, my tentacles moving as I continued to operate on the injured girl. The nature of my abilities ensured that there was no visible blood, but I administered anesthesia to spare her from the excruciating pain she would have otherwise endured.

"If a mortal hasn't reached the point where they're willing to sacrifice even the most fundamental aspects of their being, it means there's still a glimmer of hope within them," I responded calmly, still not turning to face Aria. My words conveyed that she hadn't yet witnessed the darkest depths of mortal suffering, an aspect of life that I, as a devil, had become all too familiar with.

Aria sat there, her face contorted with a mix of sorrow and frustration. "But then... Why didn't she come to me? Why didn't she seek help from the goddesses? Why do mortals in despair turn to devils?" she questioned, her voice heavy with sadness and confusion.

I let out a dry chuckle, tinged with bitterness. "Because summoning you takes an excruciatingly long month as payment, while us devils, well, we simply require a few drops of blood," I retorted, my tone dripping with cynicism. The harsh reality of our situation dripped from my words like venom. It was a painful truth, and my voice carried a mocking undertone.

My words hit home, causing Aria to bow her head in dejection. The contrast in accessibility between our two kinds was a brutal reminder of the desperate circumstances that often led mortals to seek the dark aid of devils.

I couldn't help but smirk at Aria's response, my devilish nature reveling in her discomfort. "Well, you see," I began, my voice dripping with faux sincerity, "we, the devils, are all about making sure mortals really, really want their wishes granted. It's like a test of their resolve and their desperation."

Mortals often had to think long and hard before summoning us and making their requests due to the weighty price attached. After all, devils were known for their sinister reputation. However, the silver lining for them was that we rarely declined their wishes, be it wealth, power, or even dealing with certain nuisances. As for our willingness to carry out acts of violence, well, that wasn't an issue either, although we certainly didn't get our hands dirty.

The prospect of receiving either the mortal's body or soul as payment was undeniably enticing to us, but it was clear that Aria viewed it through a different lens. She seemed genuinely troubled by the exchange.

Aria's eyes held a mixture of confusion and disapproval, clearly struggling to comprehend the devil's twisted logic.

However, as she began to lift the object in question, a gasp of astonishment escaped her lips, and she nearly dropped it in shock.
