Devil's Bible

Page 495

The entire process was planned over a thousand years.

Throughout the millennia, that devout believer never revealed the slightest clue.

While some historical possibilities may appear somewhat ambiguous, this is a normal phenomenon.

That deity was careless, and as a result, that deity no longer exists in this world.

The reason why the God of the Commandments is so clear is because that devout believer was appointed by the God of the Commandments.

Therefore, the God of Discipline also paid special attention to this.

Otherwise, if you're not careful, another case might end up in your casebook.

The God of Discipline immediately thought of the key figure: the fairy Lillian.

If the Holy Son was indeed sabotaged by Nemus throughout the process, then Lillian would definitely discover the problem.

Even if Lillian were to die inexplicably, or suffer from 'amnesia' or something similar, the God of Discipline would decisively abandon the Holy Son and choose other, safer options.

The deity's observation was discreet; a wisp of attention swiftly locked onto the time rift and located the fairy clan.

The fairy race, once vassals of dragons, naturally possesses the ability to observe and somewhat utilize history.

Back then, relying on the dragon, they enjoyed a period of relative prosperity.

But as the dragons were dealt with, these fairies immediately hid themselves in the cracks of time, and have rarely come out in recent years.

In such cases, their history is relatively simple, making it easier to investigate.

By verifying both, one can relatively accurately determine whether the Holy Son has any problems.

“No problem, history has not been altered…” The God of Discipline felt slightly relieved, and was fairly certain that the Holy Son could be trusted.

Of course, this does not mean that the Holy Son is without problems.

The God of Discipline understands that nothing in this world is absolute.

However, we cannot give up on this matter because of a minor setback. After investigating for so long, we still cannot find the problem, and we have given up on this option because of a little doubt.

Then other things are also likely to be difficult to trust.

For example, the current pope is also a key figure, and his history is somewhat ambiguous.

To say that he is absolutely certain there will be no problem is not necessarily true.

"It seems the Holy Son can use it," the God of Discipline thought. "Perhaps the early Nemus's abilities weren't that strong after all."

The God of Discipline also discovered Nemus's terrifying growth efficiency curve.

If we erase Nemus's memories and powers and put him back in the same position as he was during the Blue Whale era when he was still a paladin...

I'm afraid those church members, his friends, would never have had the chance to betray and harm Nemes.

However, after confirming that the Holy Son was usable, the God of Discipline still kept a watchful eye.

Even if the Holy Son wants to use it, he cannot just use it directly like this.

The God of Discipline re-examined the history of the Son of God and discovered that the Son of God indeed had the potential to become a saint.

After the Hidden Saint infused his holy power into the Holy Son and used a grid to teleport the Holy Son a short distance away from the Azure Whale, the Holy Son entered a special state.

His bloodline underwent changes as holy power was injected into him, but these changes were insufficient to support the Holy Son in becoming a true saint.

He landed on the ground.

Nems's pursuers caught up with them shortly afterward.

It was Nemes's guard Poole and Towns.

The Holy Son had no time to deal with his own situation and could only flee across the land.

At that time, the Holy Son's physical condition was special, and his combat power decreased instead of increasing. If it weren't for the two Rocs, he probably would have had a hard time escaping the pursuit.

However, even after escaping the pursuit, the Holy Son was not out of danger; he was entangled in a calamity on Earth.

Upon closer examination of this situation, the God of Discipline discovered that the Holy Son was actually vaguely related to the Earth God.

This stems from the Holy Son's previous trip, where he unexpectedly obtained some information related to the Earth God's divine nature at the ruins of the Earth God's church.

The god of the earth is dead; he originally had two divine titles.

One is an Earth Element Godhood of 'eleven', and the other is an Earth Godhood of 'forty-seven'.

The Earth Element Godhood was not lost, but the Earth Godhood was not found after the Earth God was confirmed dead.

This divine essence has been sought by many earth-attribute mythical beings, and even some evil gods are trying to obtain it.

Even many deities were secretly sending people to collect clues.

With this in mind, the God of Discipline downgraded the risk assessment of the Holy Son by another level.

Because this is illogical; there's no need to use information related to the Earth Godhood as bait, it doesn't make sense.

Although there are things in this world that defy common sense, Nemus shouldn't be that stupid.

Even if Nemus gains the upper hand in this divine war, the leak of information about the Earth Godhead will still bring great benefits to the God of Discipline.

"Surely Nemus isn't planning to kill me outright in this war of gods..." the God of Discipline thought to himself.

He had considered the possibility of losing this divine war, and also thought that because of his severe injuries, he would have to give up most of the rules of "change," thus giving Nemus the advantage.

But it was only at this moment that this thought, almost as a joke, arose in Nemus's mind: he wanted to kill all possible versions of himself in this world at once.

That is impossible.

At the same time, a plan involuntarily formed in my mind.

The thoughts of the God of Discipline flowed, and then he found the present Holy Son.

At this moment, the Holy Son is in a church, once again in that state of 'everything is normal'.

He vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the entire church.

Furthermore, the staircase leading to the basement within the church also seemed abnormal.

As he walked up, he sometimes felt like he was climbing stairs, not going down them...

Chapter 807 Holy Son

The Holy Son could sense that something was very wrong.

It's as if everything in front of me seems exceptionally unreal.

He vaguely remembered that he was a devout believer, and what he had to do every day was to purify his faith in order to pray for God's glory.

But the Holy Son sensed something was wrong.

He felt that he had overlooked a lot of important information.

such as……

“Nemus…” a voice rang in the Holy Son’s ear.

He felt the name was very familiar, but the tone also seemed slightly strange.

It seemed like they were calling him, but it didn't quite feel like they were calling him.

Before the Holy Son could figure out who the voice was calling for or where it was coming from...

The Holy Son then heard the voice continue, "You must remain steadfast in your faith, but please remember, who you really are!!"

The words were spoken, and then disappeared.

The Holy Son frowned, somewhat at a loss, not even knowing whether it was all an illusion.

but……

Looking at the sky, it was getting brighter and brighter, and daytime was just around the corner.

The Son immediately stood up and went to other parts of the church.

He needed to prepare holy water, open the church doors, clean up the messy cemetery, and drive away the homeless people staying at the church.

Although the church provided them with a place to stay at night, it couldn't allow them to continue spending their days there, as that would only disgust the nobles and believers.

Maybe they won't come to this church anymore.

Although the divine religions have a general area on earth, in some places, multiple divine religions still coexist in one place.

In this situation, churches outwardly maintain harmony, but secretly they use various means to compete for believers.

Because of this competition, ordinary people's lives are relatively better. After all, when something is in competition, the object being competed for can always gain more benefits because of its own value.

It's better than being on that whale...

"Huh? What whale?" The Holy Son was stunned. His church was inland, where there were few rivers and lakes, and even fish were rare. Why would he suddenly think of whales?

This doubt did not linger in his mind for long before the Holy Son resumed his work.

To enhance the church's appeal, every detail and facade must be perfected.

He was just an ordinary apprentice paladin in the church, and for now he still had to work hard here.

If there is even a trace of dust on the altar, I might not have any food to eat today.

This is what churches in small towns are like.

For them...

"For what was it again?" The Holy Son was a little stunned. For a moment, he seemed unable to recall the name of his church.

Just as the Holy Son was about to ponder this, the priest's voice suddenly came, telling him to go to the basement to move some things.

"Are you still having these kinds of wild thoughts lately?" the priest asked when he saw the Holy Son.

"Yes, I seem to have been experiencing auditory hallucinations today!" the Holy Son said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the pastor's expression became peculiar. He then said, "You were weakened after being injured from using the breathing technique incorrectly, and you were then bewitched by evil."

"Next, you need to exercise more, go to the basement to move things, and don't overthink it."

"Whatever the auditory or visual hallucinations may be, do not believe them..." the pastor warned again.

The Holy Son nodded, though he often had a strange thought that told him not to trust the priest.

But how could he not believe in the pastor who took him in as an orphan and placed him in the church?

The Holy Son walked towards the basement.

Many tools or props needed for rituals are kept in the basement.

If displayed outside on ordinary days, the small church would appear too cluttered, which would be detrimental to God's dignity.

Therefore, they are only moved out of the basement when needed.

As the Holy Son looked at the dark entrance to the basement and thought about the staircase, his expression turned strange.

As an apprentice paladin, he did the most physical labor, and moving things from the basement was probably his most frequent task.

But every time he went up those stairs, he felt that the stairs were strange.

This strangeness was the only anomaly he didn't tell the pastor.

As I climbed those stairs once more, that strange feeling rose within me again.

He was clearly walking down the stairs, but now he felt like he was walking up.

He quickly stopped and waited for the feeling to subside before making any further moves.

At that moment, that strange voice rang in my ears again.

"You need to go down this staircase; the one who makes it strange is yourself."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Son did not understand what he meant by making the staircase strange.

Does he have some kind of superpower that allows him to turn going down stairs into going up stairs?

However, this time, the Holy Son instinctively believed it again.

He used to tell the pastor about any strange things he encountered.

For example, there are two strange birds that want to lure themselves out of the church.

For example, it seems that you have a sword made of light in your hand.

The priest learned of all this, and he drove away the two strange birds and took away the sword made of light.
