LCD The Book Eating Magician

Maybe he wants all the knowledge in a realm that only 10th circle people can go to

 

Well, this is gonna be another coiling dragon....

Do you think gluttony will be the last boss?

 

Gluttony will be the grandpa

 

Kind of hard to say, but considering that gluttony prioritized knowledge over being on good terms with Theo, I think gluttony's goal is something a bit different. As Gluttony put it, all Grimores serve a purpose. Taking over someone's body is not a purpose.

Gluttony's interest in humans is because humans are like a blank book that takes in everything. A frost dragon will never use fire, an elf will never do what dwarves do. Humans are like the jack of all trades, they can do everything every other race can do but master of none (due to how weak they are). Gluttony's goal is most likely to make a master of all, so that he can find out the truth of magic.

Think fate stay where all the magicians will sacrifice everything to reach the Root/Akashic Records.

My guess is the goal of Gluttony is something similar, the consume the Akashic Records and learn the truth of all magic.

Of course Gluttony may at one point have to fight with Theo over his body in a winner takes all. Similar to synchro.

Edit: Another possibility is that what the 7 sin series hopes to do is kill the true god. And 7 sins were created to do so in different approaches. Hence why the 7 sins are not hostile towards each other and unless they interfere let them off since they share the same end goal.

 

This makes a lot of sense.

 

tbh, gluttony mentioned something about a last time recently. I think it's out of tries with replicating itself and needs theo to get to level 10 to keep it alive/unlock the final seal. I don't necessarily think it is anti theo, it is quite possible that it recognizes the boy as its perfect vessel.

 

I find it kind of weird how Theo would be Gluttony's best bet at achieving his goal of the 10th Circle magic or whatever, cause I mean, that'd mean that none of Gluttony's previous hosts made it to that level, in which case ... where'd he get all that knowledge and experience from? Was all that knowledge, artifacts and so on only from 9th Circle magicians? No transcendants? ._.

 

That may be the case, but it also could be a matter of something else. If you notice, the world is declining as both knowledge and magical items become rarer. The amount of time it takes to resurrect oneself is 1000 years. By that point, magic will most likely decline to the point where there may only be 1 or 2 masters in the world if any. At that point the chance of getting to level 10 would pretty much be close to 0.

Gluttony may have also paid a price for unsealing 4th seal at that time which could have doubled his timeframe or the like.

I wouldn't say that, since it said prior users named it "Library" which means others have reached this point. The reason why Theo has the highest chance is probably due to highest compatibility with Gluttony. On top of that he created a new path which is pretty powerful applications. My guess is Theo's ability can simplify the breaking of the wall.

For example, what you need at 10th level is divinity. But divinity is opposite of magic. Which can make it extremely difficult for a magician to break into the 10th level. But if Theo can combine these opposites?

 

Theo’s sorcery is the most chesty of them all. He can fuse any aspect of himself with any other aspect which is so general that it’s unrivalled. He can fuse any elements together perfectly or even all of them with his body or soul.

 

BTW! isnt Theo Sorcery is somewhat similar to ProtagBody from breaker..

 

I wonder if Theo can thunderfart someone like an arrogant young-master from the church

 

Theo could probably force two different systems to harmonize or a treasure to harmonize with himself before it’s supposed to. He could probably force aura to harmonize with his magic or make that god sword consumable

 

While magic is the opposite of divinity, it may not be a direct opposite. Probably a direct opposite would be undeath, especially a sword of light. Maybe combining Death Worship with the sword to balance them out?

That said, the problem with consuming some of the stuff is his vessel. Harmonizing or not you still can't fit a whale in a house.

 

But his thing isn’t harmonizing direct opposites. It’s harmonizing anything at all and we don’t know to what degree. We know he can apply it to his body and to magic attributes but we still need to see how these tests go. I think that he can consume the sword eventually and harmonize with the energy to be able to pursue two different systems and make them coexist

 

He can harmonize anything at all, but if you want to limit side effects, harmonizing opposites is the way to go. Like his fire that was powerful but couldn't even hurt a deer.

 

maybe gluttony's goal is to eat the other sins?

 

what do you mean here?

iirc protag body will sort of auto correct his stats?

 

It also allows MC to contain and use 4 type of power (Aura, psychic, magic, divine)

 

oh I thought you're talking 'bout its corrective effects on the MC

 

Hey, if Theo's sorcery is to "Forced harmonization" is it possible for him to harmonize gluttony 100% with he so they become part of each other. Couldn't Theo also find and forcibly harmonize the other Seven Deadly Sins grimores into his vessel.
