Nems only considered it as a protective measure.

He possesses an outer soul, and his direct mental abilities provide him with strong protective measures. This is similar to the curse Alalos suffered this time, or some kind of direct external elemental attack. The outer soul can only serve as a layer of protection.

The power of the Styx is very strong in such situations.

This seemingly accidental defense by Nemus resulted in the decisive victory over Alalos.

However, it is actually inevitable.

To kill Nemus, one can only approach from these directions, and Nemus has different defensive measures for each of these directions.

“We lost…” Alalos watched as Nemus reformed his body, the red dot on his forehead growing increasingly intense, even darker than blood, staring blankly into the distance, lost in thought.

From his time as a human to his journey to becoming a wizard, he was once very confident that he would continue to win.

This confidence accompanied him for many years, to the point that he instinctively believed that he would only fail, but would not lose, especially not lose his life.

But in the end, he still lost.

"Nems, I'll be waiting for the day you lose."

"I hope you can keep winning."

After uttering this contradictory statement, Alaros died.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless individual who rose step by step to become a demon lord, accepting his death with equanimity.

Nemes reached out and grabbed the 333rd layer domain name extracted from Alalos.

At this moment, Kru transformed into black mist and appeared beside Nemus, coldly gazing at the remains of his father's body.

"Will it work?"

"Yes!" Kru collected the corpse, intending to use it as material to improve his own stats and, incidentally, to practice curse magic.

The curse that Alalos used at the end of the game piqued Kru's interest.

After all, even Nemus was hit immediately, and his body was damaged.

If the soul did not possess protective qualities, it would likely be damaged as well.

In addition, Alalos practiced forbidden arts and possessed various items related to the twins.

Even in death, his flesh and blood still exude a strong aura of taboo.

This alone shows that the father is a good candidate for the position.

End of Chapter 462

With the death of yet another lord, this interdimensional war finally has a chance to end once again.

Nemus looked up into the distance and saw the Black Prison Lord and the Holy Son joining forces to fight against Atata.

It's now coming to an end.

Atata intentionally held back, which was also a way to conceal his true strength, but he couldn't let the Black Prison Master see the problem.

Fortunately, any problems encountered during this process can be explained using the "Legendary Journey".

After all, although the Holy Son's numerical values ​​were not high during this process, the abilities he demonstrated were obvious to all.

This made the Black Prison Master even more determined to leave this place with the Holy Son.

The Son is the future of the Church, and I myself am an important part of the Church's plan.

And now, the two of them need to join forces to have a better chance of survival.

Looking at the surging black shadows behind him and Nemus, who had killed Alaros in the distance, the Black Prison Lord knew that the time had come.

"Hold on for five seconds!" After saying this, the Black Prison Master stopped abruptly.

Without any hesitation, the Holy Son, wielding the Sword of War, stood in front of the shadows.

The light emanating from his body burst forth rapidly. In his perfect saintly form, his control over divine power had reached a certain critical point.

Although he was just putting on an act with Atata and the others, Nemus was certain that if Atata seized the opportunity, he wouldn't kill Nemus, but he would definitely leave enough room for maneuver in the Holy Son by severely injuring him.

Such is the nature of cooperation among demons: if there is an opportunity to plant a trap for the other party during the cooperation process, they will definitely do so.

For example, after the Holy Son escaped from the shadows, he decisively declared that he had mastered the core secrets of Atata.

In reality, they were planting landmines.

By doing this, as long as he still wants to cooperate, his core secrets will inevitably be exposed to the Church through the words of the Holy Son.

The church will also focus more attention on Atata, thus helping Nems draw fire.

This inherent game is ongoing at all times.

Divine power coalesced, and numerous visions of the future flashed through the Holy Son's eyes, before suddenly connecting them all together.

The next moment, Atata sensed something was wrong. He saw a black shadow rapidly gathering within his Shadow Realm, and then Atata felt that his Shadow Realm was getting out of control.

"These dead survivors appeared at this time?" Atata asked incredulously.

He descended into the Shadow Plane back then, and naturally there were native inhabitants in that Shadow Plane.

Most importantly, because these natives are natural shadow creatures, their spirits and souls are very closely intertwined with the shadows; one could even say that their souls are derived from the shadows.

During the subsidence, these shadow creatures chose to merge with the shadow plane and then became completely shadowed, essentially becoming one with it.

For this reason, although these shadow creatures lack the ability to interfere with the outside world, it is still very difficult for Atata to eliminate them.

Only after he has mastered the secrets of how shadows constitute the soul and then constructed his own rules of shadows can he uproot these things completely.

Unless Atata doesn't want this shadow plane and intends to destroy it completely.

Therefore, although the Shadow Plane has been incorporated into Atat's territory, its sovereignty has also been taken over by Atat's forces.

However, some survivors linger in the shadows, so the control over this shadow plane has never been perfect.

At the same time, Atata also realized that these shadow creatures were most likely the opportunity for his advancement.

The shadowing of the soul that he seeks, the shadowed soul, is the natural state of these shadow creatures.

These souls, completely integrated with the shadows, are the best test subjects.

Once they are grasped and corroborated with their own shadow rules, Atata could very well undergo a transformation.

These shadow creatures are aware of this, so they never show any abnormalities, and he can never detect them.

But Atata never expected that these dead survivors, who usually made no move and were no different from ordinary shadow power, would suddenly jump out at this moment.

Atata reacted instantly and immediately took action, appearing before the shadows of these changes.

At the same time, his mental energy rapidly shifted and was injected into the surrounding shadows, aiming to completely trap these shadow creatures.

He roughly understood that the reason these shadowy creatures were appearing now was very likely due to the Holy Son.

It's unclear whether it was because the Holy Son had probed his core or because of some of the Holy Son's abilities that these shadow creatures felt the Holy Son might be able to change their slow death.

So these shadow creatures chose to bet on the Holy Son.

After Atata enveloped this area, it formed shadow tentacles that reached out to touch these shadow creatures.

But it was only just beginning when these shadows quickly returned to their normal state, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary shadows.

Atata didn't care about this scene. She simply stored these shadows separately and carefully preserved them to make sure there wouldn't be any problems.

Just like Nemes's swordsmanship, seeing a mountain as a mountain.

Atata is currently on a similar road.

A shadow is just a shadow.

These shadow creatures' innate advantages were created through the dramatic changes that occurred during the plane's subsidence.

However, since they are not demon lords themselves, and their positions are not high enough, they cannot take advantage of this advantage and can only hide themselves.

He is different; once he figures it out, he will become the new Demon Prince.

Compared to this, the previous cooperation with Nemus, the plans for the Discipline Church, and the territories of other demon lords all became insignificant.

So after completing the storage of the shadow creature, Atata saw that the Black Prison Master was surrounded by dense black characters, which sealed him and the Holy Son together.

Unlike the previous completely black grid, these black characters now contain a large amount of information related to sealing techniques.

Breaking that blockade is technically unrealistic, and if it were to be broken by force, it would likely take several minutes or more.

With so much time, the Black Prison Lord should have been able to take the Holy Son and escape the interdimensional war.

On the other side, after reaping the spoils of Alaros, Nemus quickly led the Clown King, Alaros, and some of the territories that Atata had no time to attend to, and chose to end the interdimensional war.

Not being at war, after a few seconds of brief guidance, Nems led his own territory and left as well.

Before leaving, Nems and Atata nodded to each other, confirming that their cooperation remained in place.

This interdimensional battle has finally come to an end.

Chapter 463 Fictional Plain

Is it still a game of strategy?

After the war ended, Atata looked at the shadows that had been put away, and his expression was no longer as excited as before.

Before the Holy Son went there, he infused a great deal of shadow into the Shadow Dimension.

Then those shadowy creatures appeared inexplicably. After the initial surprise and astonishment, it seemed like they might be part of an investment sage, and there was an underlying logic to it.

However, that would be a gross underestimation of Atata.

Even without those shadow creatures as test subjects, he had his own plan to perfectly construct the rules of shadow step by step.

Furthermore, some of the shadow rules constructed by the demon lords are virtual.

This is the nature of evil, so what they do is not to completely imitate existing things in reality.

Even if you imitate it perfectly, it won't work. The ultimate 'power' of those authorities—divinity—is essentially only in the hands of the gods.

Without divinity, even mastering a certain rule of this world to its fullest extent is of no use, at least not to the will of the abyss.

Therefore, more than half of the virtual divine status of the Demon Lord needs to be constructed virtually, and can only be constructed virtually.

Otherwise, the will of the abyss will not approve, and one may very well become a plaything of the gods as one cultivates.

They might be killed by the gods at any time.

An entity possessing divinity has unquestionable dominion over individuals who construct themselves through the rules of divinity.

The term "shadow creature" simply means that it is naturally close to the rules of the shadow. If the god of the shadow were to obtain these creatures that are completely integrated into the shadow, he might transform them into divine beasts similar to the Prayer Angels, but stronger.

However, Atata can only study it and then use the research results as a reference.

If you focus all your attention on it, you might fall into a trap that Nemes might be setting.

"A different kind of demon, breaking through to a higher level, seizing the position of lord, and even having an avatar holding a high position in the Discipline Church..." Atata pondered the various things Nemus had shown, becoming increasingly vigilant.

Naims is not someone to be trifled with; if you're not careful, you could easily end up in trouble.

Working with Nemes could yield surprisingly high profits, and might even lead to some secrets about God.

However, it also carries significant risks.

However, Atata is unlikely to give up on this collaboration.

Everything in this world carries risk.

Even if he does nothing now, there is still a risk that the God of Shadows will find an opportunity to kill him instantly.

Therefore, the risk is not the key point; the key point is whether the returns are worthwhile.

Besides, everyone who gets to this point has taken risks.

He died more than 1,100 years ago, during the Great Cataclysm.

The soul fell into the abyss but retained its human memories.

Starting from the demon worm, evolving step by step into the Shadow Fiend, becoming the Demon Lord, and then descending into the Shadow Plane, he always took risks.

Clown King is able to accept his fate but not admit defeat.

Alallos was able to accept his defeat with equanimity, and then both cursed and blessed.

Is Atata's (Atata's) spirit of victory inferior to theirs?
