Green's face was filled with mockery, with no attempt to hide his contempt. With Balibeil's support, even in his anger, Stuster couldn't attack Green.

No, it should be said that he couldn't even generate the emotion of anger towards Green.

There was no doubt that even though Stuster hadn't suffered any substantial injuries, his spirit had been crushed.

The aura of Balibeil was different from Green's. While Green's aura was much stronger than Balibeil's, it had a touch of softness amidst its dominance. Balibeil, on the other hand, exuded a gloomy aura that brought the purest form of fear to people.

This fear struck at the core of one's heart, especially since Balibeil's aura was specifically targeted at Stuster. One could say that this incident would become a permanent shadow that Stuster could never escape from.

Even the onlookers around them would be affected to some extent, at the very least, when they saw Green again, they wouldn't dare to breathe.

The current Stuster couldn't even muster up the will to resist.

Stuster slumped in the wooden chair, the high-footed cup in his hand had long been shattered on the ground. His eyes were lifeless, making him look like a dead man.

It was not only because of Balibeil's aura, but also because of Green's mocking words.

Even though he couldn't feel any physical pain, Stuster could sense the heart-wrenching pain from the depths of his soul. He couldn't understand why he had become like this.

He was hailed as a genius from a young age, awakening his innate magic from his earliest memories. At the age of sixteen, he had created a super magic spell, and by the age of eighteen, he was able to kill several kings in the joint conference of nations and escape unscathed.

Throughout his life, even though he had experienced failures, he could quickly find a way to victory. He even had confidence in killing the other six Sinners, but he never expected to lose in this situation.

He had lost completely.

He had lost the will to fight, and he had lost confidence in himself.

Balibeil's imposing presence was like a mountain that had firmly pressed him down. His chest felt heavy, and he struggled with all his might to break free from it, but he had even lost the strength to take a deep breath.

Unwillingly, he didn't want to lose like this.

A strong sense of frustration surged within Stuster, along with anger. It was anger towards his own weakness and incompetence. The feeling of being underestimated and mocked as a joke made Stuster furious at himself for not being able to change the situation.

Like opening a switch or breaking through a bottleneck, Stuster suddenly felt the weight of the mountain on his body disappear. His breathing became smoother, and his whole body became incredibly relaxed.

"Crack!"

Numerous small magic arrays suddenly appeared on Stuster's body, enveloping him as he sat in the chair. After emitting a strong light, the arrays transformed into dots and dissipated in the air.

Finally, Stuster stood up. A faint red glow enveloped his body, and the nearby wooden chair and table turned into splinters under this power.

At the same time, Green sensed a familiar aura.

This power seemed somewhat similar to his own superpowers, but it was much weaker in comparison.

"It seems my guess was right. Anger can make your powers stronger. Whether it's your own anger or someone else's anger, it will eventually become the source of your magic power. Additionally, certain parts of your body seem to have been greatly enhanced."

Facing the calm and composed Green, Stuster felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind. He overcame the fear within him, overcoming his previous cowardice.

He once again achieved a breakthrough.

The lifeless eyes suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and the arrogant expression returned to his face, along with that unmistakable sense of wanting to be beaten up. It returned to his whole being.

Stuster smirked devilishly.

"You guessed right. My innate magic allows me to harness anger, and the super magic I created can give my body the ultimate enhancement, making me a new type of human that surpasses the limits of humanity!"

"Snort!"

"......?"

However, right after Stuster finished speaking, he saw Green suddenly snort, as if he had just witnessed something extremely funny.Just as Xiu Si was about to get angry, he instantly calmed down again.

He took a deep breath and his face became as calm as water, without any ripples.

"Your act of pretending to be crazy and acting foolish can no longer deceive me. No matter what you say next, it cannot affect me now. With just a gentle movement of my finger, you will be torn apart."

"Pluff!"

However, Green still had a smirk on his face. He even let go of Bari Bell and floated in the air.

But as Xiu Si had said, even though Green's actions were mocking, he remained undisturbed and only looked at Green's ridiculous performance.

He had returned to being the calm, gentlemanly, elegant and slightly irritating handsome guy.

Green finally managed to suppress his laughter. He then took Bari Bell again but when he saw how calm Xiu Si was, a smirk appeared on his face once more.

Finally, Green grew tired of this. He suppressed his laughter and said, "You think you have overwhelmed the aura of Bari Bell, and that you have transcended yourself, hence your confidence in facing me. But in reality, you are completely wrong—feel it carefully, the aura of Bari Bell has long been contained, okay?"

Mockery and contempt—Xiu Si read these two words in Green's eyes.

Indeed, just as Green had said, Xiu Si carefully tuned in and sensed that the oppressive aura that had made it hard to breathe before had already disappeared, and the atmosphere was no longer heavy.

So, he laughed. He opened his arms and laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

"..."

Green remained silent.

Xiu Si's laughter suddenly stopped, his face returned to calm, and he stared at Green with his deep eyes. Their gazes met and Xiu Si remained calm.

"My reaction surpassed your expectations, so you can only stay silent. You wanted to disturb my mind with nonsense and cause me harm on a spiritual level. But, do you think I am still the same person as before? No, the current me has completely transcended and become the ultimate human being beyond ordinary humans!"

A crazy smile started to spread on Xiu Si's face, and the red aura on his body became even more profound. A red and white energy ball appeared in Xiu Si's hand, without any magic array, pure magic.

He looked down at Green with a victorious air, then snapped his fingers, and the energy ball dashed towards Green at high speed, breaking through the air.

Facing such an Xiu Si, Green had a dumbfounded expression.

Green gently raised Bari Bell, pointing the tip of the sword forward.

Before the magic projectile, filled with immense energy, could touch the tip of Bari Bell, it disintegrated into faint red dots under the aura of Bari Bell, then dissipated into the air.

A more despair-inducing aura than before began to fill the place.

Except for Mio, everyone present saw scenes of their own death under this eerie atmosphere. Not a hazy feeling like before, but a clear and vivid vision of their own death.

But in a blink of an eye, they realized it was just an illusion.

At this moment, time seemed to stop for Xiu Si. The triumphant expression froze on his face, but Green knew that Xiu Si had already passed out.

But would Green stop here?

No, he wouldn't.

What Green wanted to do was to kill one to warn a hundred.

Accompanied by the condensation of source energy, a faint white light sphere appeared in Green's hand. Then Green walked in front of Xiu Si and pressed the white light sphere into Xiu Si's abdomen.

"Crack!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the auction venue.

Green wore an expressionless face as he watched Xiu Si writhing in pain on the ground, his indifferent eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

The excruciating pain woke Xiu Si up from his faint, but soon he realized that it was not the pain that brought him back to consciousness, but the powerful healing force that came along with it.

He didn't know what Green had done to him, but the situation within his body was unusually strange.The excruciating pain, as if being cut by numerous knives, engulfed his whole body. But in the next moment, the pain suddenly disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming sense of pleasure. Yet, it was quickly followed by an even more intense pain, accompanied by another round of recovery.

Teetering on the edge between life and death, any slight carelessness could lead to his demise. However, the immense healing power immediately pulled him back from the brink.

Streusel struggled ceaselessly on the verge of death, truly fighting to survive at all costs.

This method was used during the interrogation of criminals, inflicting extensive injuries on them through Source Qi inside their bodies, only to heal them instantaneously, causing excruciating pain akin to being better off dead.

Although it consumed a tremendous amount of energy, it was nothing for Green.

Green regained the momentum of Ballybell.

The entire audience watched as Streusel, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, writhed on the ground, emitting heart-wrenching screams. Even the sounds alone induced immense panic.

Streusel was unwilling. He didn't want to give up like this. He wanted to kill Green. To achieve that, he was adapting to the current situation and gradually, he even started enjoying it.

This was an experience that ordinary people could hardly obtain in a lifetime.

Streusel believed that as long as he survived this ordeal, he would definitely undergo a true transformation.

By then, no matter how powerful his enemy, he would surely emerge victorious.

Streusel believed that Green wanted to torment him through this method, in order to instill fear in him. And thus, he silently mocked in his heart:

Green's behavior would ultimately only serve as a stepping stone for him to become a king.

With these thoughts in mind, Streusel's screams gradually turned eerie, and his expression twisted, sending shivers down people's spines.

But just as he revealed his distorted smile, Green suddenly waved his hand at him, causing Streusel to immediately cease his struggling and his screams abruptly ended.

"This man is finished."

In an instant, Streusel's face became incredibly deranged.
