Although the Bishop of Greed's power, "Heart of the Lion," is temporarily unusable, his ability to maintain an object's initial velocity remains formidable.
Judging from the strength of the attack that shattered his own ice blades, Ram's wind magic alone is simply powerless to defend against an attack of this strength.
"Ram, leave this guy to me. You go and eliminate those Witch Cult members so he can no longer use that power called 'Lion's Heart'."
It was too dangerous for Ram to face the Bishop of Greed alone, so Wood had no choice but to cooperate with him, letting Ram deal with all of the Bishop of Greed's "wives".
Before Ram eliminates these people, he is responsible for keeping the "invincible" Bishop of Greed in check.
"Damn it! Damn it! You bastards! I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!"
Chapter 376 Instant Kill Gluttony, Ram Targeted
It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the Bishop of Greed, whose power has been exposed as weak, is now only a matter of time before he is defeated.
Once Ram has eliminated all the targets who could activate "Little King," he will lose the power of "Time Stop" and will not be able to hold out for long against a combination like Wood and Ram. Even escaping will become a pipe dream.
No, even if he manages to escape this time, his powers will no longer be a secret, and he may not be able to keep his title as the most powerful archbishop of sin.
Of course, despite his resentment, the Bishop of Greed was no fool. Having already exposed his weaknesses, he knew that staying would only lead to his death. So, although he appeared angry, he was already thinking about his escape route.
Before the demon girls over there killed all his "wives," he was still "invincible," and it was still not too late to leave now.
Once the recipient for his heart is gone, given the speed and strength Wood has demonstrated, killing him would probably only take a few rounds.
However, just as the Archbishop of Greed was having second thoughts and was about to run away, Gluttony, with one arm hanging limply and blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, suddenly appeared beside him and said, "I just touched him."
Upon hearing what the Bishop of Gluttony said, the Bishop of Greed's face, which had been contorted with anger, instantly relaxed.
"Then what are we waiting for? According to intelligence, this guy is the knight who is the resurrection vessel for the witch."
You've seen his fighting prowess, haven't you? He'll inevitably become an obstacle for us in the future. Quickly activate your powers and eliminate him!
As a fellow "Archbishop of Sin" of the Witch Cult, Gluttony's powers are naturally not limited to abilities like teleportation.
His true power lies in devouring the 'memory' and 'name' of his targets.
As Wood had previously guessed, using this power indeed required meeting certain preconditions and completing certain steps.
The standard swallowing procedure is to call out the object's name, then touch a part of the object's body with your hand, and then lick your own palm.
The object whose 'memory' is devoured will lose all its memories, just like Ram did before.
Those whose 'names' are devoured will be forgotten by everyone in the world, except for Subaru Natsuki.
An existence whose 'memory' and 'name' are both consumed will not only be forgotten by everyone in the world except for Subaru Natsuki, but will also fall into a deep sleep, becoming nothing more than a shell.
Some might argue that if the Gluttony Bishop's powers are limited to this, then isn't it less powerful than the Mist Beast's "Vanishing Mist"?
The Vanishing Mist can also completely erase existence without requiring any conditions or steps.
But in fact, the Bishop of Gluttony is far stronger than the beluga whale, and if the Bishop of Gluttony wanted to, he could even create a second beluga whale.
The power of 'binge eating' is not limited to the useless loss of memory and being forgotten.
The second stage of the bishopric power of gluttony is called "eclipse," which is specifically divided into "solar eclipse" and "lunar eclipse."
When used in normal circumstances, the "Eclipse" ability can instantly increase the body's speed and shorten the distance to the target, which is the teleportation ability that the Bishop of Gluttony previously demonstrated.
Once the Bishop of Gluttony has devoured the "memory" of another, his "Eclipse" ability will change. He can then extract skills and knowledge from the devoured "memory" and make them his own.
Because it is merely extracted, it does not enhance physical abilities, and there is a high probability that the victim's abilities cannot be perfectly utilized.
In other words, if Wood's Rokushiki abilities were extracted, but because the Bishop of Gluttony could not achieve a superhuman physique, he would not be able to use the Rokushiki perfectly.
As for the "eclipse," it is based on the "name" of the consumed creature, and the existence of the victim is completely reproduced in one's own body, transforming into the appearance of the victim.
And the victim's abilities can be maximized by matching bodies.
To put it simply, using the "Lunar Eclipse" ability allows you to extract skills from the other person's "memories".
Using the 'Eclipse' allows one to transform into the object's appearance, replace its existence, and unleash the maximum physical power of the "named" object.
If a lunar eclipse is combined with a solar eclipse, then a second you will appear in the world, with the same physique and abilities as you. Others will even mistake the Bishop of Gluttony for you.
The Bishop of Gluttony exchanged a punch with Wood. Although he was sent flying and his entire arm was shattered, he still fulfilled the prerequisite of "touching the opponent".
In other words, if he calls out Wood's real name and touches his palm, he can devour Wood's "memory" and "name".
This force is similar to the law of cause and effect, so it is impossible to avoid or resist.
"His 'memory' and 'name' were devoured together. Devouring only his memory or name would still be very dangerous."
Losing Wood's memory or having him forgotten by others would not affect his combat strength in the slightest. That's why the Bishop of Greed had the Bishop of Gluttony devour Wood's "name" and "memories" together, so that Wood would fall into a coma and be at their mercy.
In fact, without the Bishop of Greed saying much, the Bishop of Gluttony originally intended to devour Wood's "memory" and "name" at the same time, because only in this way could he use "lunar eclipse" and "solar eclipse".
Wood's combat prowess is undeniable; if he could become the replacement for the other, the Bishop of Gluttony would be quite satisfied.
However, just as the Gluttony Bishop confidently called out Wood Hossin's name and shouted, "I'm going to dig in now!" as he licked the palm of his other, unharmed hand, another accident occurred.
It's not that Subaru Natsuki died again, but rather that the Bishop of Gluttony himself has a problem.
After calling out Wood's name and licking his palm, he suddenly felt a churning in his stomach and began to vomit uncontrollably.
"You... you actually schemed against me too? You knew about my powers all along, so you deliberately made that little demon girl call you by your fake name?"
To be honest, when he learned that 'bulimia' could fulfill the conditions for losing one's memory, and that this power was unavoidable, Wood was actually a little panicked.
Although his existence as a visitor from another world is quite special, even Subaru Natsuki's "Return by Death" cannot format his memories.
But there's always a chance of something going wrong, and Wood didn't want to gamble with his precious memories.
Being immune to Subaru Natsuki's "Return by Death" ability is a good thing to some extent, but it may not be a good thing in certain situations.
Because if someone dies, or their memories are consumed by 'Gluttony', they can use Subaru Natsuki's 'Return by Death' ability to start over and do it again.
However, this doesn't work on Wood. He's immune to Subaru's "Return by Death," so if he dies, then he's truly gone.
Even if we take a step back and assume that "Return by Death" really works on him, then the person who is resurrected in the cycle of reincarnation should no longer be him, but the real Wood Hessin.
However, to Wood's utter surprise, while he was still considering that he, as a "special" being, could be immune to the Bishop of Gluttony's abilities, the Bishop of Gluttony's powers actually failed to be used.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, the reason why the power of "Gluttony" failed to be used is not because he is "special" enough, but because there is something wrong with his name?
Seeing Wood's bewildered and confused expression, the Bishop of Gluttony thought Wood was faking it and couldn't help but yell again, "Still pretending? Wood Hessin isn't your real name, is it? Otherwise, my powers wouldn't have caused this situation!"
No one knows one's own power better than oneself. The process of touching the other person's body cannot go wrong. The only reason for vomiting and the failure of one's power is that the name is the only possible reason.
"So, you need the real name of the person you want to exercise your power... "
I'm so sorry, I'm an orphan from a slum in Kararaki. My sister Anna named me Wood Hoshin.
As for my original real name... unfortunately, even I don't know it.
Wood almost burst out laughing when he heard what the Bishop of Gluttony said.
The Bishop of Gluttony's powers are truly formidable; under certain conditions, he is even more powerful than the Bishop of Greed. However, it is unexpected that his flaws are also so obvious.
Now that Wood has thoroughly understood the powers of both "Greed" and "Gluttony," the rest is simple.
But in terms of strength, the Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony are actually nothing special, at least not in front of Wood.
The reason they were unable to subdue them for so long before was simply because their powers were rather strange. Now that Wood has figured out the flaws in their powers, he will naturally no longer fall for their tricks.
In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Wood even used the power of the Heart of God, instantly boosting his physical strength to the limit in an attempt to kill Greed and Gluttony as soon as possible.
The runes, radiating a silvery-white light, appeared on Wood's chest through his clothes. When the Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony saw the mysterious runes that suddenly appeared on Wood's chest, they were astonished to find that Wood's already ridiculously high magical power had surged again in an instant!
Previously, Wood was already seen as a humanoid monster, but they never expected that his aura and magic power could become even stronger!
As the magical energy materialized into a whirlwind that swirled around Wood, even lifting some small grains of sand into the air, neither the Archbishop of Greed nor the Archbishop of Gluttony had any desire to fight.
Unable to bear the immense pressure, the Bishop of Gluttony, despite the discomfort from his recent vomiting, took the lead and made a hasty escape.
Whether the Bishop of Greed can escape is none of his concern. His Eclipse ability is almost like teleportation, so escaping here alive shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"boom------!"
However, the instant the Bishop of Gluttony used his power, Wood also moved, and the ground of Alam Village, which had been repaired, was instantly trampled into a large, concave crater by Wood's violent stomping.
Wood's figure shot out in an instant, his high-speed movement resembling that of a fighter jet, leaving behind a sonic boom cloud that echoed through the air.
The distance that the Bishop of Gluttony's "Eclipse" power can shorten is limited; otherwise, if he could teleport instantly around the world, he would probably be the strongest person in the world.
The maximum range of the 'Lunar Eclipse' is approximately one kilometer, and it can be used continuously. The time between the appearance of the figure and the use of the ability again is only a few moments.
For this reason, the Bishop of Gluttony was very confident in his survival skills, after all, there were no guys in this world who could move a kilometer in an instant...
When Wood appeared before the Bishop of Gluttony, he could clearly see the astonished expression on the other's face.
And that astonished expression quickly turned into one of pain, because the ice blade in Wood's hand had already left a beautiful arc in the air, not only cleaving the Gluttony Bishop in two, but also turning a large area of forest behind him into an ice field!
"Damn it! Where did this monster come from?! Why didn't our Witch Cult have any information about him before?!"
Although the distance was a bit far, the Bishop of Greed could still clearly see the spectacular sight of Gluttony being split in two by Wood, and the vast forest behind it frozen solid.
The longer a person lives, the more likely they are to die. Although the Bishop of Greed is an ordinary human, he has lived for over a hundred years because of his ability to "stop time".
Having enjoyed the satisfaction and desires brought by great power and high position, he was naturally unwilling to die here like this.
But Wood's fighting prowess was truly too formidable. Even though the Bishop of Gluttony used his powers to run a thousand meters away, he was still caught up and killed instantly by Wood. Could he possibly run away?
Ram was still slaughtering his "wives" in his little kingdom, and the invincibility that his power "Lion's Heart" could grant him was limited.
Just as the Archbishop of Greed was casting a resentful and angry glance at Wood and Ram, his gaze suddenly lingered on Ram for a moment before he burst into a maniacal laugh.
