Seven Sins System Chapter 305. We Will Be The Weirdest Couple

For a few tense moments that felt like an eternity, we locked eyes in mutual hatred. Our bodies strained against the invisible restraints of fate, and our threats hung in the air like a bitter miasma. It was a stand-off.

But then, as abruptly as it had started, the confrontation ended. We simultaneously pulled our weapons back, retracting the deadly instruments that had poised to strike. Her sword vanished from her grip, disappearing into thin air, while my Wrath tentacles receded back into their dormant state, slipping back behind me.

In a final display of restraint, she canceled the protective barrier. It was a clear sign that she, too, had no interest in escalating the confrontation any further. The threads of fate that bound us, while still a tangible presence, seemed to relax slightly, acknowledging the de-escalation of our mutual aggression.

I glanced away from her, my gaze landing on the room's dimly lit corners. The silence hung heavy in the air, interrupted only by the distant sounds of the city outside.

With a weary sigh, I finally broke the silence. "It's not the right time to fight," I muttered, my voice laden with the fatigue of the situation. I knew that continuing our feud would only play into the hands of our unseen adversary.

She nodded in reluctant agreement, her gaze also averted. "Yeah," she murmured, her voice tinged with frustration. "The culprit wants us to kill each other. If we do it, it means they succeeded," she reminded me, echoing my earlier thoughts.

I offered a wry smile in response, a bitter acknowledgment of our shared predicament. "Yeah, I know," I admitted, my tone resigned. It wasn't easy to suppress the urge to engage in our usual clashes, the battles that had defined our rivalry for so long. But the stakes had never been higher, and we couldn't afford to play into our enemy's hands.

Her gaze, once filled with animosity, had softened into something resembling genuine intrigue. It was an unusual sight, to say the least.

"Anyway, do you know why the thread of fate suddenly appeared?" she asked, her voice laced with genuine curiosity. Her eyes briefly flicked towards me, waiting for a response.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my mind racing to formulate an answer that wouldn't betray the secrets I harbored. The appearance of the thread of fate was undoubtedly linked to my long-forgotten memories, the memories that bound us in ways neither of us fully comprehended. But revealing this truth was not an option.

So, I adopted an air of indifference, shrugging casually as if the question held no real significance to me. "I don't know," I replied, feigning ignorance. "Demons don't know about the thread of fate; we only know about punishment. The thread has always been something of an enigma to us. It's a matter more suited to your kind," I deflected, shifting the responsibility back to her.

She furrowed her brow, her expression a mixture of frustration and intrigue. The appearance of the thread of fate had clearly unsettled her, and she couldn't help but voice her confusion.

"This is strange... The thread should have appeared far before this. At least, at the next meeting after we were separated in the mortal realm when we were still small," she mused, her voice laced with uncertainty. Her fingers absently traced the delicate thread, as if searching for answers within its ethereal strands. "So... it should be when we met in the war three hundred years ago. But why is it only appearing now?" Her confusion deepened, and she shot me a puzzled glance.

"Maybe it's because we're not mortals?" I ventured, my tone casual but guarded. It was a plausible explanation, one that would hopefully quell her suspicions.

Her eyes bore into mine, her gaze searching for any hint of deception. She nodded slowly, as if considering the possibility. "Maybe," she conceded. "I've never heard of a pair between a devil and a goddess before, after all. We might be an exception." She raised her hand, bringing the slender thread of fate into clearer view.

"We will be the weirdest couple..." I remarked, a hint of exasperation coloring my tone, punctuated by a dash of irony. The situation was undeniably bizarre, and I couldn't help but marvel at the absurdity of it all.

She let out a long, thoughtful breath as if considering the implications of our newfound connection. "I agree," she finally conceded, her voice tinged with a mix of resignation and pragmatism. "Just concentrate on our cooperation. A normal love relationship won't work between us after all. Just think of it as a cooperative bond that we cannot avoid."

"Right," I nodded, acknowledging the practicality of her words. "So, since everything has settled, can you leave? I want to sleep." My request was delivered with a subtle hint of impatience.

She eyed me with a suspicious glint in her eyes, a hint of skepticism lacing her words. "I thought devils never slept," she remarked, her tone edged with a touch of cynicism. It was clear that she was still trying to get a read on me, uncertain of how this newly forged partnership would play out.

I responded with a flat stare, my annoyance evident. "Whatever I want to do after this, it doesn't matter. You still have to leave my room," I retorted, making it clear that my need for some personal space was non-negotiable.

Her response was anything but compliant. She leaned back slightly, her posture exuding arrogance as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Since you wanted me to leave, I decided to stay here," she declared with an air of defiance. Seating herself on the sofa, she positioned herself to face me directly. Her unwavering gaze bore into mine. "Even if you sleep, I will be happy to watch you," she added with a hint of mockery. "Besides, didn't you say the culprits already set their eyes on you?" Her challenge hung in the air.

I couldn't help but scoff at her audacity. "If that's what you want, fine!" I snapped, my irritation bubbling to the surface. But of course, I knew the best way to get rid of her.
