Of course, this also depends on whether Kreu himself is willing.

While becoming a demon lord is a path, not everyone can be like Nemus, not entirely bound by the abyss.

Once you become a demon lord, your soul is essentially bound to the will of the abyss.

At this moment, Nems felt more and more how scarce manpower was.

His development period was too short. Even with all the methods he used, only Klue among his subordinates could barely keep up with his pace.

So much so that when Nems wanted to go out and do something on the ground, he didn't know who to take with him.

After some deliberation, Nems made his decision.

Among rows of life-bearing eggs.

A red-haired woman with a slightly large head opened her eyes.

Chapter 666 The Curse of the Earth

That's right, Nemus doesn't plan to bring Kru and most of the others on this expedition to explore the land.

Because their power is unlikely to have much effect on the ground.

The unique nature of calamities makes it irrelevant whether or not many powers are present when facing calamity-inducing creatures.

Conversely, if it were more functional, it might be able to survive longer on the ground.

Besides, Nemus went to great lengths to create the dwarf scouting units, not just to keep them afloat on the Azure Whale.

"Is that all? Lord Nemus?!" The Queen of Hearts had already changed into a dress, and a rune appeared on her bare neck.

A similar rune was now flashing around a floating celestial globe in front of them.

“That’s right. Once you die, this causal rune will guide your consciousness back to the Human Realm: Garden World.”

"With your level of consciousness, it will only take some time to conceive again."

"Of course, the premise is that you cannot let your consciousness be corrupted by special forces. If your consciousness is corrupted, you may really die," Nemus warned the Queen of Hearts.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Nemus." The Queen of Hearts was only about fifty centimeters tall at the moment, like a little dwarf.

This is her new body.

If the meat yield is the same as normal, the growth time will be several months longer.

The Queen of Hearts' combat abilities do not rely on her physical body, so she did not require herself to continue growing.

This was half a month after Nemus accepted the Sword Saint's number and sensed the recurrence of the curse.

At this moment, the reconnaissance regiment has been established.

The tiny humanoids, each the size of a fist, have now completed their resurrection in the real world.

Like the Queen of Hearts, they have runes all over their bodies.

These runes can protect their consciousness from rapidly regressing after the body dies.

This is also where the Dwarf race has an advantage as a scout unit.

Their personal consciousness is not closely integrated with the virtual soul, which prevents them from becoming spellcasters and practicing meditation.

However, it allows their individual consciousness to be quickly detached and guided back to the garden world.

At Nemus's command, the little figures, led by the Queen of Hearts, swiftly jumped off the Azure Whale.

A paraglider appeared behind them, carrying them rapidly toward the ground.

This commotion immediately attracted some calamity creatures capable of flight.

The little people are also considered living beings at this moment, and any breath of life will attract the attention of the calamity-causing creatures.

However, the little people were already prepared for this.

With a thought, a power of mental imagery burst forth from their hearts and enveloped their bodies.

Instantly, their life force became ethereal and elusive, like a peculiar phenomenon.

Since they weren't living people, the calamity creatures that had sensed a faint life force earlier lowered their attention with some confusion.

Aside from certain special species, these calamity creatures no longer concern the little people.

"The art of mental imagery has indeed succeeded!" The Queen of Hearts was also enveloped by mental images at this moment.

They are consciousnesses that emerged from a fictional space, and are born with some of the ability to create fictions.

It can be said that the fictional practice methods were largely derived from Nemus's research on them.

Every individual who can undergo a transformation of consciousness from the realm of humanity will naturally acquire the ability to create fiction.

Their ability to create fiction is essentially a unique characteristic they possess.

Characteristics – 'Fictional Mental Images': A special phenomenon created by a unique mind. This phenomenon varies depending on the mind and has the characteristics of a definitive mental image phenomenon.

The so-called phenomenon of "conclusion of mental images" refers to the idea that mental images are their essence.

When their minds are overlaid with mental images, their lives will also develop in a fictional state. At times, they will become phenomenal individuals rather than simple lives.

What determines them is never the flesh and blood bodies with life characteristics that Nems cultivated for them, but their mental image.

At this moment, precisely because of this, they lose their vital signs as their mental images are overwhelmed.

To a certain extent, as long as they don't directly encounter the calamity creatures, they can escape the calamity's clutches.

The little people glided down to the ground and quickly dispersed to gather intelligence.

The entire land was in a state of wilderness at this moment.

After all, no one has lived here for a thousand years.

Even the original buildings have long since collapsed or been covered by vines and weeds.

Changes in terrain have also buried some things underground forever.

Everywhere there are ordinary lives and vegetation.

Besides these, there are those hidden calamity-causing beings.

On the earth, all you see are ordinary jungles, and anything unusual is something that could be deadly.

The little creatures quickly explored and confirmed that this area was a gathering place for calamity creatures.

Then, they began to assist in positioning and establish spatial teleportation coordinates.

With the fluctuations of space.

Then Nemus, with the body of Kenai on his back, appeared on the ground.

The moment he appeared, Nemus sensed a certain fluctuation emerging, and the curse of Dartmenley on his body became active.

"Indeed, the curse and the earth have a profound connection, a close yet antagonistic relationship." Nemus carefully sensed the changes in the curse and then felt the subtle connection between the curse and the earth.

However, the curse and the earth's aura clashed the moment they came into contact.

“This state…” Nemus found it difficult to analyze at this moment.

Saint Dartmanley was once a paladin of the God of Discipline, and became a saint by walking the earth.

However, Dartmention then discovered something peculiar, which quickly vanished from the earth.

“Datmenley must have discovered something and done something to be hated by fate, thus incurring its curse.”

"This curse is not as sinful as the number of divisions, so Dartmenley was not cursed to become a sinful soul."

"But it incorporated something related to the earth, which made the curse more troublesome."

"I need to find the key from back then..."

Following the scent of the curse, Nemus quickly found some clues.

"It's about 300 kilometers away from here." After confirming the location, Nemus sent the little man to scout ahead and then began to approach that direction.

Three hundred kilometers is not far. With his current understanding of taboos, ordinary calamity creatures along the way cannot affect him.

What I fear most is the emergence of something special like the Earth Church.

Sure enough, after walking more than fifty kilometers, the little man began to return to deliver the message.

They discovered a city.

Chapter 667 A Future of Despair

On earth, nothing that is normal is abnormal.

The land should be covered in jungle right now, a scene of primeval forests everywhere.

Following the little man's perspective, Nemus did indeed see a city.

"Is it really that outrageous?" From Nems's perspective, the entire city appeared to be both large and small, existing in a superposition of large and small states.

To be precise, "incredibly tall" is only from the perspective of a petty person.

"Perfectly normal" is from one's own perspective.

This city will instinctively make those observing it perceive it as a 'normal city'.

The little people's bodies are only the size of a fist, so what they see as a normal city appears small to Nems.

In Nems's perception, if the city is normal, then it is towering to the little man.

“It’s normal again…” Nemus couldn’t help but recall his experience at the Earth Church.

During the day, everything is normal under the bright sun, but at night, the abnormality can no longer be concealed.

Ultimately, even the world's timeline became out of sync due to this forced normalization.

“The Sun God…” Nemus frowned, suppressing his thoughts related to the Sun God.

-----------------

At this moment, in the Prime Material Plane, in the Middle-earth surrounded by the Source Whale.

Within the Sky Pantheon.

A glimmer of light gathers.

Upon witnessing this scene, people living their normal lives immediately showed expressions of piety and joy, then knelt on the ground, offering their most sincere faith to the being represented by this phenomenon.

Some people even burst into frenzied weeping.

If it weren't for the real issues with etiquette, they might have stood up and reached out, wanting God's glory to shine on them more.

And in the glory of the Central Plains, illuminated by the sun.

The Pope of the Church of the Sun opened his eyes.

Look directly at those glories.

Then the light entered his eyes.

He immediately absorbed the divine oracle from God.

"I understand, my God!" The Pope closed his eyes, and light shone from his body.

Then, the Pope of the Sun opened his arms, and in the land bathed in sunlight, in the land where time exists, all things were within his perception.

He discovered the target that God was looking for.

"The Sun Saint is summoned; there is a divine decree that he needs to carry out."

Soon, a person wearing a golden sun mask and crown appeared before the Pope.

All the Sun Saints are similar beings.

They were all the same size, had no names, and all wore similar masks.

Of course, these masks are slightly different, and will have elements that are obviously related to the elderly, children, and time.

They are collectively known as the Sun Saints.

However, it is possible to roughly distinguish between dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, sunset, and so on.

These characteristics do not represent combat effectiveness.

People also find it difficult to discern the fighting prowess of the Sun Saint.
