American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 261: Original Sin Armament
Xu Yi paddled the boat, and it drifted towards the perimeter of the Barrier.
There, several huge ships were moored, their hulls painted with gigantic crosses; they belonged to the church, and that was where Xu Yi was heading.
The journey was not smooth; there were "ships" blocking the way ahead.
Not everyone could be lucky enough to board a large ship; more Japanese people were escaping the island country in small boats.
But their luck wasn’t the worst. Afloat on the sea were large amounts of "black seaweed," which were actually corpses bobbing in the water.
Those who couldn’t find a boat, facing pursuit by Kayako, what can they do? Of course, they only had the option of jumping into the sea.
A body floated towards Xu Yi’s small boat, blocking the path ahead.
It was a Japanese high school girl, wearing a white shirt, a black pleated skirt, and black strapped leather shoes.
The girl’s clothes were soaked by the sea, her fair skin faintly visible, her slim and straight legs undulating in the water.
The girl’s appearance was of the same caliber as Maria’s; despite being young, she exuded an incredibly alluring charm.
Her oval-shaped face featured a tear mole under her left eye, which was extremely enchanting.
Japanese high school girl, uniform, a beauty beyond compare... A series of words flashed through Xu Yi’s mind, and he took a deep breath of cold air.
"How can such a beautiful girl float on the cold sea surface?" Xu Yi reached out and touched the girl’s stunning face.
Suddenly, his hand exerted force, and he forcefully pushed the girl back into the water.
Although he was weak, his strength was not something ordinary people could imagine; with this one push, the girl plunged into the water like a depth charge.
"So it’s best for you to sink to the bottom of the sea," Xu Yi said with a cold face, continuing to row.
"Hey! What are you doing? How can you treat a lady like that? Even if she’s a corpse, you this..."
The nearby boat owner, who had seen Xu Yi’s actions, was about to angrily shout, but upon locking eyes with Xu Yi, he immediately cowered like a mouse, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
Strangely, the high school girl actually floated up from the sea again, and it seemed that Xu Yi’s push had somehow awakened her, as she kept coughing out the water in her lungs.
The boat owner was a portly middle-aged man in a suit, who upon seeing the high school girl wake up, revealed a surprised and pleased expression on his greasy face, and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva repeatedly.
The boat owner hurriedly paddled over to the high school girl.
Xu Yi initially wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.
He dropped the urge to help, respecting the fate of another.
If he was not so weak now, lacking the confidence to deal with that thing, he would definitely have let the other party know that not everything can be touched!
The high school girl was rescued onto the boat, coughing violently; after expelling the water in her lungs, she slowly came to consciousness.
"Thank you for saving me, my name is Tomie Kawakami!" the high school girl spoke faintly, her gaze constantly following Xu Yi’s retreating figure.
...
As soon as Xu Yi boarded the church’s ship, the church staff welcomed him, respectfully leading the way in front of him.
"Mr. Xu Yi, this way, please. We have already prepared a room for you!"
Xu Yi wasn’t surprised that they could recognize him.
"Friend of Ed," "Destroyer of the Ram Cult’s Lair," "The youngest titled exorcist in history"... With a series of such titles, if this were a game, then his reputation within the church would be at least of the "known by all" level.
Even though he now looked "thin" to the point of being unrecognizable, the fact that Yukeni had made a special trip to pick him up in the boat meant that his identity could be guessed even with toes.
"We’re all in distress, so why does he get to stay in a room while we have to be out here in the cold wind?"
A discordant voice suddenly rang out; Xu Yi wasn’t the only one who had boarded the ship.
As an organization "spreading goodness and love," whether for reputation or other reasons, the church would provide humanitarian care to these shipwrecked people; naturally, they would offer assistance.
Hearing that Xu Yi had a room while they had to endure the winds on the deck, they naturally became discontented.
"On what grounds? Of course, because with his full strength, a single punch from him could sink our ship," the crew member said disdainfully, glancing at the person.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The priest hurried over when he heard the commotion and scolded the man.
"Wasn’t it you who said..." The crew member was stunned, and the surrounding refugees cast doubtful glances at him.
"How could Mr. Xu Yi’s strength possibly be so weak? If Mr. Xu Yi were to strike with his full power, not a single wreck of our three ships would be left!" the priest said in a cold voice.
Xu Yi felt so embarrassed he thought he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. Although what the other person said was true, wasn’t this just too awkward?
The troublesome part was that the refugees instantly stopped causing a fuss and began looking at him with eyes full of awe.
Xu Yi hurriedly quickened his pace, fearing if he stayed any longer, he would wear right through the soles of his shoes.
The room was the best class on the ship. After inspecting the facilities, Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction.
This room even had a private bathroom with hot water available 24 hours a day, which seemed a bit extravagant for a ship sailing on the sea.
Xu Yi, covered in grime and having soaked in the sea for a while, hadn’t felt it during the battle, but now that he’d relaxed, his whole body felt uncomfortable.
After a hot shower, changing into clean clothes, and finishing the seafood feast sent over by the church, he felt completely revitalized.
"It’s time to check on the status of the Source of Woe!"
Xu Yi locked the door and drew the curtains, unable to wait any longer.
He first checked the system information.
[Transformation of Source of Woe complete, "Evil Deity Origin" entry automatically changed to "Sin Armaments"!]
[Sin Armaments: (Red Common—??)
Ability 1 - Remains of the Seven Deadly Sins:
The Sin Origin Tree automatically splits into seven parts of Sin Remains, consisting of: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
(ps1: After devouring the corresponding "Soul of Sin," the Sin Remains will grow.)
(ps2: After devouring the corresponding "Origin of Sin," the Sin Remains will grow significantly and will activate the Serpent of the Finale’s ability, receiving a mysterious gift.)
Ability 2 - Ultimate Weapon of Sin: (0/3)
The Seven Sin Armaments can fuse to become the "Ultimate Weapon," which will integrate all the powers of the weapons and undergo a "rank leap."
(ps1: This ability can only be activated three times, and the current activation count is zero.)
Ability 3 - Serpent of Finale:
The Serpent of Finale can detect the growth progress of the Sin Armaments. Each fusion resets the growth progress, and the potential ceiling is automatically raised. Explore more stories at novelbuddy
The Serpent of Finale can take the "Power of Sin" to its "ultimate" form! (This ability is extremely rare, please handle with caution.)]
Xu Yi took out the Sin Remains from the toy space, all seven parts.

Even the shrunken Origin Tree of Sin was too large for this room. The reason Xu Yi was able to take them out was because the Sin Remains had ’shriveled’.
Xu Yi looked at the Sin Remains on the table, his face filled with relief.
The seven parts of Sin Remains in front of him were only the size of a palm, dry and meager in weight.
The Origin Tree of Sin seemed like a sponge soaked with water; after the transformation into the Source of Woe, the water in the sponge had been squeezed out, and those dried-out sponges had to go through intense compression to become what the Sin Remains looked like now.
Fortunately, he hadn’t chosen those tiny bits of Sin Remains as the object for the transformation, otherwise, he might not have been able to forge even a needle now.
Xu Yi picked up the "Pride" Sin Remain and tapped it, its hardness astonishing.
Although the Origin Tree of Sin had shrunk and compressed, its strength and quality had risen a level, and Xu Yi was already looking forward to the weapons that would be forged from the Sin Remains!
