Controlling the fate of beings of the same level is too difficult, especially controlling five at once.
He needs more external assistance.
This external force is naturally the fictitious agreement and the fictitious demon behind it.
Andron vaguely sensed something in his heart. If he could really hold onto that little bit, he might be able to create a huge mess.
“Members of noble birth want to rebel against the nobles.”
"The possessor of the Fate trait wants to defy fate." Nemus's eyes flashed in the direction Andron had left, and a smile appeared on his lips.
In some ways, Andron is a kind of Nems.
However, this kind of thing has already 'broken down'.
Nems and Kru, among others, though their bodies and even souls have decayed and rotted, still retain some persistence rooted in this decaying thing, and are growing vigorously.
Andron, however, was different; the 'torture' he suffered was far greater.
He was transferred to headquarters from the beginning, and he witnessed firsthand how powerful the church headquarters was and how arrogant those in power could be.
This force from the church completely crushed him.
Beneath that body was a twisted and perverse soul, and his final ideals were transformed into some kind of indistinct pleasure.
therefore……
“This kind of person is a ticking time bomb. It would be better to find an opportunity to send him back to the church.” As a former member of the same kind, Nemus could sense Andron’s morbidity.
Madmen are not scary, capable people are not scary.
A person who is capable but also insane is truly terrifying.
Their destructiveness far exceeds that of normal people.
For example, right now, if it weren't for Andron as an openly unstable element...
The struggle between Nemus and the God of Discipline will not be so smooth.
"But this level is not enough yet."
"The process needs to be accelerated!"
The Gas Springs Cathedral has now been transformed into a fictional castle.
Inside the castle, Nemus sat on the throne, with the entire Azure Whale before him.
The next moment, the clouds and rain in the sky changed, and the castle stood amidst lightning and thunder.
Chapter 504 Resources
Sitting on his throne, Nemus sensed the changing night, and then some kind of destiny was working wildly, deepening the connection between Nemus and the Azure Whale.
At such times, the darkening of the sky seems as if some force is unwilling to witness this scene.
As Nemus gradually calmed his breathing, the darkness in the sky slowly dissipated.
A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, and the sky cleared.
On Earth, it was already noon.
“Time seems to be dragging on.” The Holy Son Nemus looked up at the sky, where the sun was changing, but it was happening very slowly.
After slightly integrating with his original body, the Holy Son did some calculations and came to a conclusion.
His time slowed down considerably until the sun on the back of the Azure Whale finally caught up with him.
According to estimates, the time should be completely unified at the point of sunset.
Then the sun returned to a single point.
“In some areas, the sun is behaving abnormally…” Nemus squinted, pondering the implications of this event.
The death of the Earth God was largely due to violating the laws of nature, but another reason was very likely related to the Sun God.
"According to that paladin's understanding, during the day, all problems are concealed by the presence of the sun."
"But at night, this concealment is exposed, and all that exists feels uneasy."
"So it's very possible that the Earth God was completely defeated because of the Sun God," Nemus pondered.
Then he quietly walked across this land of calamity.
On this land of calamity, an ecosystem dominated by calamities has now formed.
Everywhere you look, there are all sorts of calamity-inducing creatures.
These calamity-inducing creatures live on this land, running rampant and hunting their own kind.
That's right, the food of calamity creatures can only be described as their own kind.
They are social creatures, yet they will turn on their own kind at crucial moments.
Therefore, their communal living atmosphere is quite unique.
They need to cultivate their own food on a daily basis.
This involves using one's own blood to infect wild animals or plants, and then consuming them when necessary, thereby continuously accumulating calamities.
If these foods are not harvested in time, they will grow into new scourge creatures.
Because of the three characteristics of Calamity, Calamity creatures are very difficult to kill, but once attacked, they may unleash an instant-kill attack.
Therefore, calamity creatures generally do not conflict with each other.
There was an extraordinary level of wariness and vigilance between them.
If one is not careful, the calamity creatures will join forces and quickly gang up on the weakest one to death, ensuring that the weakest one will not be able to retaliate effectively.
Of course, even if they retaliate, at most they'll kill one more, which will only give the remaining calamity creatures one more meal.
This is the nature of these calamity-causing creatures.
"Instinctively, they came together and became accustomed to killing each other, but various reasons also made them social creatures."
“Self-hunting, self-rejection, and self-aggregation.” Nemes carefully observed the ecology of the earth.
Most vegetation and ordinary wild animals have a much lower infection rate than the dangerous creatures on the back of the floating whale.
Because disasters have a cumulative effect.
Anything that carries any element of calamity will become food for other calamity creatures.
The dangerous creatures on the back of the floating whale were merely suppressed by the floating whale, preventing this convergence of change.
So, while most areas of the earth appear normal, they actually harbor a number of plants and animals that are close to calamities.
They lurk in the shadows, searching for other calamity factors, waiting for the day they can transform into true calamity creatures.
What Nemus needs to do at this moment is to lower his own life force and disguise himself as an ordinary life form with no numerical values.
These ordinary individuals are generally unharmed unless they directly collide with a hidden dangerous creature.
The calamity creatures are not particularly interested in these ordinary life forms and will not actively hunt them.
With his excellent stealth and perception abilities, Nemus can ensure his safety on the ground and then explore for more rare resources.
"It's a pity that most of the resources that the Golden Seeds can use are guarded by calamity creatures." Nemus observed the distance slightly.
There is a plant in that place that seems to be glowing.
Several small red fruits on top are attracting Nemus's attention.
The knowledge I had previously gained within the Cult of the Earth God came into play at this moment.
He recognized the plant.
"Earth God Fruit".
"Alchemy can use divine medicines to create panaceas."
"Even the dead can be resurrected if they take the elixir."
“If a severed limb eats one of the fruits, it can grow back to a whole new shape.”
"If an elderly person consumes an entire plant, they can quickly regain their youth; even the golden variety can extend their life by a hundred years."
This plant is practically a legendary miracle drug, a treasure that the shallow soil on the backs of floating whales could never nurture in their entire lives.
It can only be said that the collapse of the earth has made it difficult for many special treasures to appear in human hands, to the point that humans have basically forgotten about these things over the past thousand years.
Most of the resources can only be enjoyed by these calamity creatures.
Calamity creatures primarily enhance themselves by accumulating elements of calamity.
However, this kind of vegetation, which contains a lot of energy and has special abilities, naturally possesses special properties.
With these numbers, even calamity creatures can be significantly strengthened.
Therefore, a group of calamity-causing creatures usually live around this special treasure.
When they are fully mature, an internal struggle will immediately break out.
In this situation, occasionally people from the back of the floating whales would also covet these resources.
They could only lure away these calamity-inducing creatures by sacrificing lives, and then secretly take the treasures away.
When Nemes was going through the archives of the Church of the Azure Whale, he discovered that Guilliman had done something similar decades earlier.
In order to improve their stats, they joined forces with several golden-type floating whales on their backs and ventured to the ground to acquire various rare resources.
It was on that occasion that he encountered Balthazar, a sinful spirit who had escaped from the Church of the Guardians and was wandering the earth.
"Indeed, we can't completely abandon the resources on the ground." Besides the Earth God Fruit, Nemus also found a lot of Earth Grass that could be used by the Iron Seeds.
After this herb is dried in the shade, it can be burned as a medium for breathing exercises, which can help the Iron Seed quickly accumulate power, thereby reaching the critical point in a short time and increasing the probability of becoming the Gold Seed.
This is precisely the resource that fictitious protocols are currently lacking.
The problem with the current fictitious agreement is that the development time is too short, resulting in too few subordinates of the Golden Seed.
Chapter 505 Region, Sun, Time
A healthy power structure cannot have too few people in the middle and upper ranks.
Currently, among the demons under Nemus's command, excluding the high-ranking demons in the demon territory, only Kru can rival the top-tier golden demons on the Azure Whale.
The others are still some distance from reaching the level of the Golden Seed.
For example, Towns has found a path; as long as he completes the stats, he has a good chance of reaching the Gold rank.
However, completing the numerical values is precisely the most difficult part.
Nems is a natural numerical genius, possessing the most outstanding numerical growth characteristic: the "marginal increasing effect".
Kru benefited from the Blood War, and also had the remnants of his father, the demon lord, as a form of correction.
Others don't have this benefit.
At this stage, resources like earth grass, which don't overly pollute the numbers but can quickly boost them, are exactly what the fictional protocol needs most.
For him, this patch of grass might even be more precious than the Earth God Fruit.
However, Nemes did not intend to seize it immediately.
Limited by the environment of calamity, if any of these calamity creatures dies an unnatural death, it will attract the attention of the calamity.
Then a large number of calamity creatures gather. Under the intense convergence of calamity factors, it would not be surprising if a super calamity creature with numerical characteristics that could even cause a saint to fall into its clutches were created at some point.
Therefore, in this situation, directly seizing the item is the worst option.
"It seems we still need to find other methods to lure these calamity creatures out," Nemus thought.
He made a rough observation and found that there were more than two hundred calamity creatures living around the Earth God Fruit, of which about thirty had the strength of a veteran golden species.
In addition, there are five calamity creatures similar to top-tier gold-type creatures.
It has to be said, this number is truly terrifying.
This is just an ordinary place on earth.
Yet, in such an ordinary place, the number of golden-skinned whales is eight or nine times that of blue-sky whales.
If you venture a little further away, you'll discover a new calamity biome.
