Devil's Bible

They possess enormous, slimy, grayish-white bodies that can freely expand and contract. Their form—though frequently changing—generally resembles an eyeless toad, with a cluster of short, constantly trembling pink tentacles at the tip of its indistinct, blunt snout.

The following information flashed through Nemus's mind: it was a record of a creature called a Moon Beast from a book he had previously consulted from the Earth Church.

It clearly states that these creatures only live under the moonlight; they are a special group of beings who were transformed from humans through prayer to the moon.

These special creatures are born with the ability to enslave other life forms.

Once their tentacles come into contact with other living beings, they burrow into their bodies.

These tentacles, like parasites, are half rooted in the body of the living organism and half rooted in its dreams.

In both of these ways, other life forms are completely enslaved, thus becoming senior servants.

Several moon beasts transformed from humans wept hysterically at this moment. Looking at their smooth yet sticky skin, a sense of despair, that their personalities were rapidly collapsing, welled up in their hearts.

But at that moment, the words of those people echoed in their minds—think of their wives and children.

Their remaining humanity seems to have been preserved.

At the same time, after they transformed into moon beasts, their level of life underwent a tremendous leap.

According to Nems, their life level had been elevated to the level of the Iron Species immediately after their transformation.

Meanwhile, the moonlight fell upon them, and their stats were quickly replenished in the process.

Nemus had only ever seen this rate of replenishment on the Prayer Angels before.

It must be said that the technology and abilities of these deities far exceed the comprehension of ordinary people.

Even the fictional beings of Nemus still need to utilize technologies like berserk accessories and soul accessories to become Steel-type beings with over thirty stat points.

Right now, the Moon Goddess alone can rapidly transform life and increase the other party's stats from a distance using the ritual of moonlight.

Within seconds, the stats of these moon beasts had reached approximately one hundred, making them fully stat-based steel-type creatures.

This life force immediately attracted the surrounding calamity creatures.

They are extremely sensitive to the life force. Once life has a certain value, even if the life force is slightly stronger, they will immediately encounter the aura of these calamity-causing creatures.

Most of these calamity creatures are also of the Iron-type level.

After they appeared here, they began circling around these moon beasts.

They could clearly sense that something was wrong.

But it was at this moment that the moon beasts began to move.

Driven by their instincts, they charged toward the calamity creatures, their pink tentacles twitching wildly as they reached out and slid toward the bodies of the various calamity creatures, searching for openings.

Once these things find a hole, they will quickly extend into it and complete their parasitism.

Those calamity creatures naturally wouldn't allow these moon beasts to parasitize them.

Its entire body was enveloped in black energy, and its limbs seemed to transform into afterimages as it frantically attacked the moon beast, each strike carrying an extremely dense aura of calamity.

These auras clung to the moon beasts, and the higher the concentration, the greater the probability that these moon beasts would die instantly in every subsequent moment.

One moon beast was exceptionally unlucky; before it could even react, its life force instantly ceased.

A calamity-inducing creature rapidly approached, and the moon beast was instantly absorbed, turning into a dried-up corpse.

After absorbing the transformed power of the Moon Beast, this calamity creature rapidly changed, showing faint signs of advancing to the Golden Species.

At that moment, another moon beast suddenly pounced, and its pink tentacles wrapped around the calamity creature's head.

Various tiny tentacles quickly burrowed into the mouth and nose of the calamity creature.

The calamity-inducing creature struggled frantically, but to no avail.

The moon beast's tentacles are also covered in a lot of mucus, which makes them extremely slippery.

It entered the body the moment it burrowed in.

It then swiftly pierced into the flesh and organs of the calamity creature.

The symbiosis was completed in almost just a few seconds.

Even though the calamity creature possessed an extremely dense concentration of calamity power, this symbiotic state did not cause any harm to the moon beast's tentacles.

Soon the calamity-ridden creature closed its eyes and sank into a dream.

On the other side, the other moon beasts and calamity creatures also quickly determined their victors.

All the moon beasts died, but most of the calamity creatures present were also parasitized by the moon beast tentacles.

The remaining uninfested calamity creatures seemed to sense something and quickly fled the area.

As for these parasitized calamity creatures, they began to walk into the cave following some kind of sensation.

Nems watched this scene and then followed behind.

While we should be wary of all the schemes devised by the gods, we shouldn't be so quick to back down whenever we encounter any scheme.

Because, as it stands, most things in the world are likely related to deities.

Not making contact rashly does not mean avoiding contact altogether.

Although gods are powerful, they also have many things to pay attention to.

In this process, as long as the core issues are not touched and one's own traces are concealed, it will be difficult for the gods to discover the person hiding behind the scenes using conventional methods.

As for unconventional methods, these deities generally wouldn't choose to expend that effort unless something unusual happens.

At most, they'll check on the changes in fate.

This information was learned by Nemus from the demonic legacy of the demon lord.

After all, a demon lord needs to cause trouble in the prime material plane, which requires a certain level of theology.

If one is not proficient in this skill, then it is virtually impossible for the Demon Lord to sink the plane and the floating whale.

Nemus has relevant methods to avoid this, and he also possesses some methods of manipulating and disguising fate.

Wearing some disguise, Nemus gradually walked into the cave.

During this process, Nemus sensed the combined effect of spiritual and spatial forces.

Then Nems arrived at a flower field.

Chapter 508 Moon God Cave

The flower field is dominated by blue and white flowers.

Standing there, I felt that everything was so peaceful.

Looking up, a huge, bright moon hung in the sky.

The moonlight, like a waterfall, fell and shone on people, like wisps of white mist, and walking through it, one could only feel a sense of coolness.

Besides that, there's a small path in the flower field.

At this moment, the calamity creatures parasitized and controlled by the moon beasts were also walking on this path.

Under the moonlight, the moving body seemed drunk, staggering along the path.

Then, without realizing it, he ran into the flower field.

The once quiet flower field suddenly went berserk.

Countless tendrils and roots, like venomous snakes gone mad, coiled towards these calamity-ridden creatures.

The calamity creatures parasitized by the tentacles of the moon beasts had no way to put up an effective resistance.

They were completely immobilized, pulled down by the vines.

Soon, several huge hills appeared on the flower field.

In an instant, the entire flower field became even more lush and vibrant.

"So that's how it is. Special regions on Earth are essentially areas formed by the convergence of calamity factors, and these regions also need sufficient calamity factors to replenish them." Nemus realized this at that moment.

This cave is currently a man-made disaster zone.

Its own ability to absorb calamities may not be that strong, so it needs some other means to assist it.

Humans live in it, and then they transform moon beasts to parasitize it and capture calamity creatures to use as nourishment—this is their auxiliary means.

With this method, the cave can become a paradise on earth.

Nemes walked along the path and arrived at the village behind the flower field.

The village isn't very big, with about a hundred households and a total of over four hundred people.

These people live a very simple life.

They are basically self-sufficient and rarely leave the cave.

After investigating, Nems discovered that many of the people in this place were descendants of those who failed to evacuate a thousand years ago.

At that time, disasters were everywhere on earth, and a normal person could hardly survive more than three days on earth.

Dangerous creatures roam everywhere, and occasionally you might encounter hidden calamity creatures; all sorts of dangers lurk within.

But there's always a way out. If wild animals can survive in those conditions, so can humans.

But survival always comes at a price. Nemus flipped through a local record book. According to the records of the people in the Moon God Cave, they had discovered 'wild men' outside decades ago.

Those were people who had lived outside for a long time and gradually forgot about human civilization. Although they were still similar to humans, after thousands of years of evolution, they had begun to change towards a more wild form.

They can still speak a few simple words, but their bodies tend to be more concealed and prone to short bursts of energy, and their understanding of tools is rapidly declining.

IQ levels are also declining.

However, after decades of integration, these wild men have become part of their settlement.

Occasionally, they can also go out to hunt some wild animals to enrich the food in the Moon God Cave.

After that, there wasn't much left in the cave.

Among these hundred or so households, there was one called 'Priests,' which, according to existing information, should have been pastors of the Lunar Church.

They were the only people in the cave who possessed numerical values.

The tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been in charge of all matters within the cave.

The current generation of Moon God Priests, with a stat of around 20, had just been promoted to the Steel type and had already stopped progressing.

The supplies in the cave were too few to support his continued improvement.

At this moment, the priest was in the cave, holding two beautiful women with great satisfaction.

With the completion of this moon goddess ritual, the safety inside the cave has been greatly improved.

Everyone was able to live a peaceful life for another three years.

As long as nothing unexpected happens again like before, and those calamity creatures don't cause so much trouble, he can live peacefully for another three years.

Three years later, everything was back on track, and things wouldn't be so complicated anymore.

"After all this calculations, I'm partly to blame?" Nemus stood not far away, not actively releasing any power, but simply sensing the priest's thoughts.

The reason the priests performed the sacrifice ahead of schedule this time was entirely due to the battle between Nemus and the members of the Discipline Church on the Azure Whale.

Finally, the calamity was unleashed, forming a hand of calamity.

This caused a chain reaction.

Luna Cave was also one of the places affected.

Because of the impact, this special region has become unstable, so the sacrificial ceremony had to be started ahead of schedule.

"I need to find a way to recruit some people from outside, otherwise making bloodline potions will be a huge hassle for me," the priest thought to himself.

Over the past thousand years, the population of Moon Goddess Cave has ranged from over a thousand at its peak to just over a hundred at its lowest.

They had long understood that if the population was not large enough, blood diseases would occur.

This bloodline disease causes people to deteriorate generation after generation, and the children born in the end will not live long and will die young.

Therefore, this priest needed to expend great effort to refine bloodline potions in order to cure the bloodline disease.

Of course, the best way to deal with this blood disease is to bring in people from outside the region.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to manage this kind of migrant population.

There are currently only two directions.
