Britannia, the royal capital of Liones.
On the vast training ground, dozens of figures could be seen.
These people ranged in age, the oldest being around fifty, and the youngest only in their teens.
They held weapons in their hands, facing off in pairs, attacking each other.
The clanging sounds of metal against metal echoed incessantly.
Although it was already night, and everyone looked exhausted, they dared not stop to rest, gritting their teeth as they continued their training.
Around them, several knights watched coldly, their eyes fixed on the field. Anyone caught slacking off would surely be met with harsh scolding and a beating!
"Thud!"
With a dull thud, a middle-aged man in his fifties fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, the young man he had been sparring with quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Uncle Holz, are you alright?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, forcing a faint smile on his wrinkled face as he said, "Young Lin Po, you're getting stronger by the day. This old bones can't keep up with you anymore."
"How could that be? You know I don't have any magic power. If you hadn't gone easy on me, how could I have possibly defeated you?"
Hearing this, instead of feeling relieved, the man's expression darkened.
He sighed and murmured, "When will this endless torment come to an end? I was just a farmer, but now I've been dragged into this relentless training. How are we supposed to survive like this?"
"They say we're training for the 'Holy War,' but what use are we common folk in a 'Holy War'?"
Listening to the man's incessant complaints, Lin Po could only smile wryly.
He knew better than anyone that the so-called "Holy War" was far beyond their control.
Because this was the world of The Seven Deadly Sins!
A world where gods and demons coexisted!!
That's right, Lin Po was a transmigrator.
He came from Blue Star!
Three months ago, for some unknown reason, Lin Po suddenly found himself transported to this world.
But before he could even figure out what kind of world this was, he was captured and brought to the royal capital for intense training.
This turned Lin Po, who had been carefree and lazy in his previous life, into someone who adhered to a strict schedule, never missing a session regardless of wind, rain, or temperature changes.
At first, when he realized he had transmigrated into the world of The Seven Deadly Sins, he was thrilled. After all, he had loved that anime.
He also learned that although the Seven Deadly Sins had betrayed the kingdom, they had not yet been captured.
Hendrickson's ambitions had not yet come to fruition, and the Ten Commandments had not been revived.
He had time to prepare and get involved.
But soon, his excitement faded.
Despite being a transmigrator, he had none of the typical advantages that came with it.
For three months, he had been silently urging his "golden finger" to activate, but there was no response whatsoever.
On top of that, no matter how much he trained, he couldn't generate any magic power, which filled him with a sense of crisis.
To make matters worse, a month ago, he heard that the kingdom's third princess, Elizabeth, had fled the palace, and her whereabouts were still unknown.
Others might not know why, but Lin Po did—she had left to search for the members of the Seven Deadly Sins.
After all, the current Kingdom of Liones is under the control of the two Holy Knight Commanders, Hendrickson and Dreyfus!
Moreover, the atrocities committed by the Holy Knights have plunged the kingdom into misery, and the people's resentment is reaching its peak!!
It's likely that the Seven Deadly Sins will soon attack the kingdom, and a great battle will inevitably ensue!!!
Although he really wanted to be part of it, without any magical power, it was simply out of the question.
For now, Lin Po could only hope to find a safe place to hide when the Seven Deadly Sins eventually stormed the capital.
After all, his own life was the most important thing; everything else was just nonsense.
"What are you two talking about? Instead of training properly, you're slacking off. Are you asking for a beating?"
A knight clad in simple armor seemed to have overheard Hoz's complaints and immediately shouted in anger.
Hoz was so startled that he quickly assumed a proper stance, while also giving Lin Po a meaningful glance.
Lin Po curled his lips. Although he had no respect for these knights, given his current lack of strength, he had no choice but to comply.
Just as the two were about to resume their training, someone suddenly shouted.
"Look, what's that in the sky?"
The voice was loud, and everyone on the training ground instinctively turned their gaze toward the sky.
Lin Po was no exception.
In the previously dark sky, several meteors streaked across, followed by more and more, as if a meteor shower had begun.
What was even more bizarre was that these meteors crisscrossed, forming a cross-like pattern that seemed to split the heavens.
Suddenly, a verse from an ancient Britannian poem appeared in the minds of everyone present:
"When meteors cross the sky in the shape of a cross,
Britannia will face a great threat.
This is the trial foretold since ancient times,
And the sign of the holy war's beginning,
Between the guide of light and the blood of darkness!!"
As the cross-shaped meteors descended, not only the training ground but every corner of the entire continent fell into a stunned silence, with everyone gazing at this strange phenomenon in the night sky…
Lin Po was also awestruck by the sight before him. Although he had seen such a scene in anime, witnessing it in person was an entirely different level of shock.
And at that very moment.
A crisp sound suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Ding, congratulations, host, for awakening the Strongest System!!"
