The Seven Deadly Child
The Gate of Sin

(Inside the Dimension of space)

Four years had passed in the outside world, while within the dimension of space countless had eight years passed.

In this dimension of space, there was only a wide expanse of field floating in the empty air, but the size was not too large, one could see the corners of the boundary of the field on each side.

Currently in the middle of the field. It was as if a white-haired youth was sitting cross-legged, sculpting like it fused with everything around it. If you do not pay close attention, people will not realize the existence of the young man.

The atmosphere was very quiet, no matter how long the young man had been in a cross-legged sitting position, looking like an ancient old tree.

Amidst the silence, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. Brilliant light burst out from both of his eyes, shining brightly, accompanied by the hiss of a burning voice next to his left arm.

The event lasted a while, until it subsided and began to stop. As the brilliant light began to die down from the young man's eyes, white smoke was seen billowing down his left arm that had been seen burning.

As the white smoke began to dissipate, an ancient writing tattoo that could not be read appeared on the young man's left arm. The tattoo is still seen giving off a strong aura, before it starts to subside a little.

Just above the new tattoo, there are two other tattoos that are also in the form of ancient writing, seen already there before the new tattoo is formed.

"Good, you managed to reach Anata's state at the gate of lust just in time. It's a little late, I've started thinking about leaving you and obliterating this dimension." A white figure floated closer towards the young man.

"Haha, master you must be kidding me, right?" Answer the young man.

Despite saying such a nonchalance, the white figure that said at the beginning continued to watch the young man before him. He had a proud look that was clearly visible from his eyes when he looked at the young man.

The handsome white-haired young man who had just opened his eyes emitted a sharpness that made people when looking at him would not last long until he lowered his head. Can't stand staring at him for too long. Sharpness that should not be owned by young people his age.

After pulling his sharpness, the young man started to stand up.

"You have been at the top of a D-class Knight, and have reached the state of Anata at the three gates that are within the gates of sin. Your basic training has finished, it's time we get out of here" said the white figure who was still staring at the young man before him.

"Murid will follow the master's instructions!" answer the young man.

"Good!" The white figure was satisfied to see the attitude of the young man before him.

'Dad, mother, two brothers, I hope you guys are okay in the last few years.' murmured the young man.

(Four years ago space dimensional time, two years of outer world time)

Theo is now 14 years old when calculated using the time of the outside world, using which pile of pearl resources is in the space-time bracelet, the, now he had managed to break through to become a stage 3 D class Knight. Officially becoming an Earth stage D class Knight.

In addition to conducting cultivation improvement training, during the past four years within the space dimension, Theo also got various teachings from his master. Starting from the basic training of Alchemy, forging skills, and also various basic exercises to use several weapons.

"Master, why do I have to specifically train the basic movements of these seven kinds of weapons?"

Theo who was practicing stick weapons asked his Master.

"I have a plan for your kind of training going forward. Don't ask too many questions, just do what I tell you!" Tiankong replied briefly.

In recent years, on the sidelines of the cultivation process, his master instructed in addition to studying Alchemy and forging using the books that were in the library of the space-time bracelet castle, Theo also had to learn the basic movements of the seven types of weapons.

The seven weapons include, Sword, Stick, Twin sword, Throwing knife, Whip, Hammers, and also a machete-tipped spear which the master referred to as Qiang, it is one of the traditional weapons in which the master comes from. Rarely found in the North Region.

*

Several days passed, Theo who was reading a book about Alchemy felt a powerful aura trying to come out from within the space-time bracelet.

When Theo wanted to check what was happening inside the space-time bracelet, a black light shot out from within the bracelet, emitting an extremely powerful aura. Along with the black light, a giant gate appeared before Theo.

Shortly after the appearance of the giant gate, a white light shot out from inside the bracelet.

"The one before you is the gate of sin you've seen before." Tiankong who just came out from inside the bracelet immediately explained.

Theo was still observing the gate before him, it looked bigger than the first time he saw it. Emitting a terrifying ancient aura, made Theo's hair immediately stand up.

"I've mentioned Six Ancient Thing to you before, do you remember?" Tanya tiankong's.

Theo looked at his teacher then nodded his head.

"Six Ancient Thing are six kinds of objects that originated in the era of emptiness, these six types of objects have powers that cannot be explained by common sense."

"My ability to control space and time is one of them, this power comes from the fifth type of Six Ancient Thing, the devil fruit. Devil Fruit consists of five different types of fruit, I ate two of them, Time Fruit and Space Fruit."

"In front of you right now is the first kind of Ancient Thing, the Gate of Sin!" Tiankong paused for a moment to make sure Theo understood his explanation.

After confirming that Theo understood, he then continued "The Gate of sin is the first kind of Ancient Thing, inside which there is a set of weapons that are a single entity. So if you have the gates of sin, you have the chance to conquer all seven weapons."

"These seven weapons have spirit items in them, these seven spirit items are the embodiment of the seven deadliest sins. Namely, Pride, Anger, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Laziness, and Envy. Therefore, this gate is called the gate of sin."

"All the item spirits inside these weapons have the form of a child, this makes these seven weapons referred to as the Seven Deadly Child."

Theo who was interested, listened to all of his master's explanations earnestly, without daring to cut him off with a question.

"The last person to conquer all the weapons in this gate of sin is me. And before I let go of my spirit to go back in time, I sealed this gate of sin inside a space-time bracelet. Take her with me." Tiankong paused for a moment to look like he was nostalgic in his mind.

"You can see that there are seven smaller gates at the bottom of the giant gate, inside each of the seven small gates are the seven spirit weapons that I described to you earlier."

"For your training ahead, you must enter into a small gate and conquer the spirit of the item inside. In the process, you have to do everything yourself, I can't help at all." Tiankong closed the explanation and looked at Theo sharply.

"Master, are you serious?" Theo asked as he stared at the gigantic gate before him which continuously emitted a terrifying ancient aura.

"This is the fastest way that you can reach the top of a D-class Knight in four years, we don't have much time before the fruit of life you eat ends."

"Every time you conquer a gate, the energy from the weapon spirit will enter your Element Seed, and make you able to break through into several levels at once. At least two tiers on one gate."

"Every weapon you get after conquering the gate will also add to your combat power!"

"The cultivation journey of a Knight is always full of risks, if you do not dare to take risks, your development will only be on the spot. To reach the highest peak, you must dare to take risks and snatch all opportunities."

"I didn't expect my disciple, who I personally trained, to just end up being a mediocre Knight. A disciple must surpass his Master! you have to reach the highest altitude that no one has ever reached, this is a risk worth taking." Tiankong stared intently at Theo after giving his advice.

After hearing the words of his master, Theo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes started to emit a strong determination.

From the very beginning when it had already managed to grow its Element seed branch, he had already promised himself to never let down his master. He owes too much.

Right now, for the first time, he heard the expectations of his master. He immediately made up his mind. 'reaching the highest peak' he murmured.

Now that he had a purpose in life, and promised to meet the expectations of his master, his eyes immediately lit up with a strong determination.

"Murid is willing to take risks!" Answer Theo full of determination.

"Good expression!" Tiankong nodded in satisfaction after seeing the strong determination in Theo's eyes.

"Now I will explain some of the conditions you must meet to be able to conquer the gates, listen carefully!"

Theo immediately nodded.

"In order to conquer the boys who are in there, the level of cultivation has absolutely no influence. To conquer them, you must succeed in reaching Anata's condition for every sin you wish to conquer."

'Not late, but also not releasing.' Theo muttered confusedly in his mind.

"I can only explain until here, you must be able to understand it with your own understanding." Tiankong who saw Theo was still confused gave an explanation.

"With the remaining mana in my body right now, I will only be able to open three gates for you. You must open the rest of the gates with your own power in the future."

"Now, out of the seven sins that I have mentioned, choose three of them that you are most capable of dealing with But I suggest choosing the ultimate pride and anger, these two boys won't be able to take you for now, too dangerous."

Theo now had five sin options he could choose from, and had to specify three. After weighing for a while, Theo finally decided to choose the gate of Gluttony, Greed, and Lust. Theo felt these three were the most he could handle

While laziness and envy, Theo best understands himself to be basically a very lazy person, a worshiper who sleeps in bed all day. The issue of envy need not be asked anymore, in the last two years he was always filled with envious feelings when he saw his peers were able to train to become a Knight candidate. While he had to accept the abnormality that happened to his Element Seed.

After accepting Theo's decision, Tiankong again began to explain.

"Well, the last and most important explanation, it has to do with the time you have."

"When you enter the gate, you will be reborn, and live a new life, becoming a completely different person depending on the gate you enter. When you enter into the gate of gluttony, you will be born as a very greedy expert, the same is true of the other gates."

"The good thing is that every birth, you will be born into an expert who is gifted using one of the types of weapons according to the weapons that are inside each gate."

"Therefore I always told you to practice seven kinds of weapons, for they are in there."

"Ahhhh now I understand!" Theo got enlightenment on the reason why his master had told him to practice the basics of the seven weapons all along.

"Because you have a foundation, you can deepen it when you are reborn and live your life there. One hundred years there, equals one year in the world."

"But the most important thing is, achieving Anata's condition is not an easy thing. Since there you will be born as a person filled with sinful desires according to the gate you choose, it will make it difficult for you to reach Anata's condition."

"If you fall into that bondage of sin, and are unable to reach Anata's state, you will forever be trapped in that illusory world."

"And with the four years at your disposal, you must complete each gate not exceeding the 130-year limit in the world of illusion, 390 years in total for all three gates. If it goes beyond that, and you're still not out of the world of illusion, your body will run out of energy, start starving and die."

"This is a risk you must take, do you dare?" Tanya Tiankong closed his explanation.

"Murid will take risks and won't let Master down." Theo answered without hesitation.

"Good!!!" Tiankong excitedly saw there was no doubt in his disciple's eyes.

He immediately controlled the mana within his body, then a huge flow of mana immediately burst out, leading towards the giant gate. A huge mana stream immediately flowed into the giant gate.

Along with the outflow of huge mana from within his body, the tiankong spirit looked increasingly fading.

Wangggg…!!!!

A strange mechanical shrill voice immediately sounded.

Making Theo who was observing the change of his master spirit stare towards the gate.

Followed by the rumbling and trembling sounds, three small gates opened slowly.

After the three gates opened completely, a powerful aura immediately flowed out, a terrifying ancient powerful aura.

"Come in and fight well, don't let me down!" Tiankong said as he looked at Theo after the three gates completely opened.

Theo nodded and immediately stepped forward to enter one of the gates. Yet one step before he entered the gate, a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Master, before I go in, I have a question that's been bothering me all this time." Theo suddenly asked.

"Ask immediately! you must be mentally prepared before you enter the gate." Tiankong replied looking at Theo curiously.

"Every time the master helps my practice, I see your spirit body fading, please be honest with me what is really going on?"

Theo was basically an intelligent child, although his master had refused to answer this question before, he could tell something was not well hidden from him. It always disturbed his mind, making him worry.

"That's it..."

Tiankong looked a little surprised, not expecting Theo to ask this matter. He seemed to think for a moment, then began to explain.

"Because you will enter into the gates of sin, and must not have any doubt, I will be honest with you."

"I am spirit, spirit has no physical body. Therefore, I cannot absorb the mana around. So, all this time I only relied on the remaining mana stored on my Element Seed before I released my physical body to maintain my spirit form."

Hearing this, Theo's facial features soon turned ugly, he began to understand what was happening.

"During this time when I was helping with your training process, I always used my remaining manpower storage."

"What happens when your man-made deposits run out?" Theo turned around and looked at his master.

Tiankong immediately smiled. "Of course my spirit will disappear."

Hearing him, Theo's countenance grew worse.

But before Theo could speak again his Master suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahahhahhahhaha…!!!"

"Everything is predestined, don't think about it now. Just focus on your training! don't disappoint me! everything will be comparable if I can see you reach the top of the world."

"Make me proud!" Tiankong closed his words with a strong emphasis while staring at Theo sharply.

Hearing that, Theo's heart immediately felt warm. Without him realizing it, this master of his had apparently sacrificed a lot for him. This made him deeply moved and more respectful of the master. The debt is too much.

He then looked at his master, his doubts immediately vanishing instantly. Replaced by determination, a strong determination not to disappoint his master. Fulfill expectations.

Thud....

Theo knelt before his master.

"What are you doing? stand up! I told you there's a mountain of gold under a man's knee, if it wasn't really a man….."

"You deserve..!! you are the one who most deserves my bow…!!!"

Before his master finished his words, Theo immediately cut in a loud voice.

"I will never let you down! I will reach the highest peak of the world! I'll make you proud!!"

Tiankong could not be untouched by this attitude of his disciple.

"Hahahhahhahha..hahhahhaha…!!" then he laughed out loud.

"Good! a good! a good! I believe you won't let me down! now stand up and prove it to me!!" Tiankong repeated the good word three times, signifying great pride in having a disciple like Theo.

Hearing him, Theo immediately stood full of confidence, he looked at his master for a moment, then stepped in with unwavering footsteps. Entering one of the gates.

After Theo entered the gate, the giant gate immediately disappeared. Theo who was sitting cross-legged was very calm, like an ancient old tree.
