Maybe due to not fully being awake Yoko didn’t seem to notice the child until Zero mentioned it and took her quite a while to react. She stood up and swiftly grabbed the baby while still being gentle. She looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled so beautifully. Zero walked over to Nova and picked her up and brought her over to Yoko so that she could also look at her new brother closely.
It was truly a wonderful moment until Zero ruined it by saying, “This is nice and all but we need to talk.”
This action caused everybody except Zero and Valna to sigh and look at Zero. Yoko glared at him and angrily said, “I know it’s probably important but I just got to hold my son. Whatever it is it can wait!”
Zero shrugged his shoulders and motioned for them to continue as walked over to the wall of the temple and sat down. Valna joined him and looked at the others in disbelief when she thought of what she felt when she was near the child.
Valna then turned and said, “My lord that child…” but was stopped by Zero when he placed his finger on her lips. He then said, “I know what you want to tell me. I also felt it too. I’ll explain why you felt that way when they finish that.”
Valna nodded her head and turned to face the ladies and Nova as they played with the unnamed child. Zero used this time to think of a name for his son. He really didn’t have an idea of any name that would fit this child.
‘Do you know any good names?’
[No]
‘That’s it just going say no and not help.’
[Yes]
‘Thank you for your wise words.’
[You’re welcome]
‘I was being sarcastic’
[So was I]
Zero gave up on trying to get the best of his system and went back to thinking of a name. Zero managed to think of a name after looking at the child’s status for 10 minutes straight. Afterward Zero waited patiently for what seemed like 30 minutes before using his telekinesis to lift the child out of Yoko’s arms.
Zero stood up and walked a few steps away from Valna before summoning the child into his arms. He then turned to look at the group of ladies who were now looking at him.

“You all got to see the child so let’s get back to important business. We’re in big trouble.” said Zero
“You mentioned something like that before. What’s happened?” asked Dahlia
“Yeah must be super important for you to act this way.” added Azalea
“Well, then Hel I need you to explain to them fully about the sins and virtues. It’ll make this go by faster if they have a complete understanding of our previous predicament.” said Zero
Hel looked at Zero before nodding and producing to explain the history of the 7 deadly sins and the 7 heavenly virtues. Everyone paid close attention even Nova although Zero was unsure if she understood what Hel was saying.
After listening to Hel’s explanation Yoko turned to face Zero and asked, “I understand that these sins and virtues are powerful abilities but what does that have to do with us. As Hel explained only a single individual can bear a sin or a virtue. Currently, they belong to the archdemons and archangels so what does that have to do with us.”
“The problem is that due to some unknown reasons Yoko, my son, and I have awoken to these sins. Due to the demon lords still being alive we didn’t inherit the actual sins. According to Hel because of our connection to the sins, these Demon Lords will most likely be hunting us down to kill the 3 of us. Valna is also an inheritor of a virtue so we’ve also got Archangels to worry about on top of all that.” explained Zero
The group was shocked even Hel who had already been aware of Zero’s sin. She looked at Yoko and Valna with a worried gaze. She then turned to Zero and asked, “What’s going on?”
“What do you mean?” asked Zero
“I mean that you have a tie to a sin was almost impossible but believable. All 4 of you having a tie is impossible without the interference of an immensely powerful being.” said Hel
{Nobody mention my mother to Hel. We’ll keep her in the dark until we’re strong enough to match her.} ordered Zero over their telepathic network
Zero shrugged and said, “Well I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know any gods besides those in this room and your family. If anything this is a massive problem for me. It‘s pretty dumb to mess with 3 demon lords and an archangel at the same time.”
Hel stared at Zero intensely before turning her and saying, “Yes you’re right that if you had the ability to gain the sins you wouldn’t obtain so many after receiving my warning about Lucifer. Regardless we’ll investigate this later what we need to focus on now is identifying what sins and virtues you all have.”
“Well, I’ve pretty much figured it out already. As we mention before my sin is pride. Yoko seems to have lust, the boy has greed, and Valna has diligence.” answered Zero
“So that means we have to deal with: Lucifer the Arch Demon Ruler of Pride, Asmodeus the Arch Demon Ruler of Lust, Mammon the Arch Demon Ruler of Greed, and Gabriel the Archangel Ruler of Diligence.” said Hel with a look of despair
“From the look on your face I’m assuming this is bad.” said Azalea
“It’s not just bad but the worst it could be. Lucifer is hard to deal with but it was possible to avoid him for a long time. The real problem is Mammon and Gabriel. I’ve never met them personally but I’ve heard stories. Those 2 are the types to hunt someone down leaving nowhere for them to hide. Mammon would never let anyone who tried to steal from him go especially if they tried to steal his sin. Gabriel is said to be the fastest of all the archangels and it’s rumored that no demon has ever escaped from him no matter where they escaped to. What’s worse is that they’re all peak higher deities who will soon become supreme deities” explained Hel
“Those 2 sound like bad news. For reference, I’d like to know your rank Hel.” said Valna
“That makes sense I’ve been curious too. I’d also like to know about the ranks of the rest of your family while you’re at it.” said Zero
Hel sighed before saying, “Very well if it will help you get an idea, my brothers and I what would be considered a low-tier Lesser Deities. Although what you see before isn’t my true body but simply an avatar. My father is considered a high-tier Mid-Level Deity.”
“Low-tier Lesser Deities? high-tier Mid-Level Deity?” asked Dahlia
“Tiers are a subrange to gauge the overall strength of gods and goddesses. There are 4 tiers low, mid, high, and peak. I’m sure you’ll ask me eventually but Zero, Yoko, Valna, and the child are all considered low-tier Demigods. This avatar of mine would be considered a high-tier Demigod and to best explain the difference of strength between the tiers. Zero remember my battle with Valna moments ago?” explained Hel
“Let me guess you were holding back.” said Valna
“No holding back would fail to show you the difference. I only needed 2% of what this body is capable of to defeat her at 100% and it only took a simple move. This is because at the bare minimum a mid-tier is 5x stronger than a low and a high-tier 10x stronger than a mid. Keep this in mind that I’m also not a battle-oriented goddess.” explained Hel
