Chapter 357: Stupid Devil
Seven Sins System Chapter 357. Stupid Devil
Puriel's PoV
Puriel's head was a mess. Her thoughts were a scrambled puzzle, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make sense of them. All she really knew was that she felt... dumb. Weak. It was the kind of feeling that clung to her, heavy and suffocating.
She was a goddess, for heaven's sake. Understanding mortals—their emotions, their messy little lives—was supposed to be her thing. Her birthright. Yet here she was, stumbling over it like a clumsy mortal herself. It pissed her off. She hated feeling this way, hated that the pride she carried as a divine being was constantly being gnawed away by this... this inadequacy.
Worse, she couldn't tell anyone about it. Not her mom, not her sisters, not the other angels or goddesses. Nobody. In her world, everyone expected perfection. Vulnerability? Yeah, no thanks. And as the future queen of the light realm, showing even a crack in her armor wasn't an option. She had to keep up the act, pretend she had it all together. So she locked it all up inside, kept the smile plastered on her face, and soldiered on.
But it was eating her alive.
Her mind kept drifting back, tracing the roots of this problem. Three hundred years ago, everything had been fine. She was at the top of her game, untouchable, wielding her powers like the badass she was. But then came the war—the big one. The war that turned everything upside down. It was a brutal, chaotic mess, with three realms tearing each other apart. And smack in the middle of it? Azrael.
The Lord of Wrath. The thorn in her side. The absolute worst.
They clashed a lot during the war. Too much, honestly. But there was one battle—the battle—that really screwed things up for her. It was epic, a cataclysmic showdown that almost split an entire continent in half. Azrael had gone full crazy mode, letting his wrath spiral out of control. She barely held her own against him, but somehow, she survived. Battered, bruised, but still standing.
