This tactic was employed because it was combined with the context of this field.

A massive amount of light descended swiftly with Nemus's sword, then crashed into the shadowy realm.

"This domain swordsmanship is not bad, but it is ultimately just a pseudo-domain!" Atata praised Nemus's swordsmanship from the shadows.

The phantom demon who used the Mist Sword Technique earlier was relatively much weaker.

His idea of ​​combining mist and illusion was correct, but the combination was not very tight, leaving some flaws.

In contrast, Nems used it very well.

The integration of technologies is not jarring, but rather quite appropriate.

However, Atata could only offer praise.

Because such techniques are ultimately no match for solid numerical data.

Countless shadows shifted, and a true realm of existence emerged.

In this realm of existence, shadow is the rule of everything; everything is composed of shadow.

Flesh and blood, land, weapons, air, and even most souls can be transformed into shadows at will.

It can also be transformed by shadows.

As Nemus the Lightbird thrust out his sword, the dazzling light was covered by shadow.

But at that very moment, Nems smiled.

Atata was taken aback by that smile.

“Your shadow power doesn’t seem to be without a source…” Nemus’s words immediately made Atata serious.

“So that’s how it is. Your soul is the only source that creates light and also blocks it!” Nemus confirmed.

At this moment, Atata realized that Nems had indeed found his weakness.

As Nemes said, Atata has not yet completed its final shadow transformation.

This means that the shadow property cannot escape its origin.

A shadow is the shadow cast by something in the light.

In this world of shadows, shadows are everywhere, and the only light source that Nemus can observe is himself, which is also suppressed by various shadows.

This explains that behind the shadow, there must be a powerful light source and something else.

To defeat Atata, you must find the light source and the object that creates the shadow by blocking it.

Standing in the shadows, Nemus pointed his sword at a certain spot—

“That’s the place, isn’t it!” Nems was absolutely certain.

At this moment, Atata also quickly cleared away his own shadow and soon realized that there was a problem.

That is, within the flowing shadow power of himself, there is a special power similar to fate.

At that moment, Atata understood how Nemus had found his core.

"You used the seal of that light weapon to analyze my shadow power in a short time."

"Then a lot of light collided with my shadow."

"However, in the darkness, your light has formed a great deal of shadow power belonging to you."

"These external shadow forces have become sources of discord, because the only core principle of my shadow world, the operation of shadow instinct, will cause your shadow forces to be rotated, infected and changed by my core!"

"And it was through this that you determined my core position."

"Investigate, analyze, learn, understand the rules, and then start exploiting them!"

“What a formidable opponent. Unfortunately, you no longer have the strength to resist my core, nor the power to break through my core defenses, Nemus…” Atata paused when he said Nemus’s name.

He... He stopped the movement of the shadows, and then sensed that the demon Nemus had truly inherited the position of lord.

In other words, this betting contest is over.

He did not eliminate the Holy Son Nemus in the right time.

However, he didn't really lose. Even if Nemes had won, he would have simply continued to cooperate with him.

But... thinking back to how he had forgotten about Nemus's existence, if he hadn't seen the Holy Son and heard the name Nemus, he probably would have completely forgotten that the one he was fighting was just a clone of that guy.

Now that Nemus has become a demon lord, it is possible for him to reach the core of Nemus's shadow, and it is also possible for Nemus to actually kill him.

With this in mind, Atata manipulated the shadows...

“You should run, Nemus!” After saying that, the shadow shifted once more.

A burst of light erupted from Nemus's body, revealing a flaw in the previously concealed shadow power.

Then Nemus pierced through the enveloping shadow with his sword, emerged from the shadow, and then flew suddenly toward the location of the Black Prison Lord and Alalos.

Behind him, countless shadowy tentacles chased after him.

"I have grasped the core secret of the Shadow. Join forces! Otherwise, none of us will survive!" Nemus shouted.

With that shout, the shadowy tentacles behind him moved even faster.

Nemus had no choice but to turn around and swing his sword. The shadowy longswords that had previously pinned down the tentacles were drawn in and flew over to help intercept the shadowy tentacles behind him.

Alalos and the Black Prison Lord exchanged a glance, each lost in their own thoughts.

The Black Prison Master's body transformed into countless black bars and headed towards the area where the Holy Son was located.

Jeff and the others are dead, and the Holy Son is the only remaining member of the Church's plan to fight in the Abyss.

As a fellow member of the church, the Lord of the Dark Prison was determined to save the other party.

Most importantly, the Holy Son has mastered the secrets of Atata's Shadow Core.

This is extremely important intelligence.

If it can be sent back to the church, then this operation will not be too much of a loss.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Alalos's eyes as he witnessed this.

He infiltrated the Discipline Church's territory for about two hundred years, developing a Golden Seed pastor as an inside agent.

He was very familiar with the system of the Discipline Church, and the Black Prison Lord's power, behavior, and some strange characteristics made him think a lot.

Before Alaros could think any further, he suddenly sensed a danger approaching.

He then felt a large amount of special power emerging in his body. This special power took root in his bloodline and continuously weakened his life.

“Kru!” Alaros turned his head to look at the source of the power, following the cause and effect, and then saw Kru.

Chapter 456 Declaration of War

"You're actually here?" Alaros sensed the power of the curse within his body and could roughly confirm that Kru had reached the Golden level.

The other party was only a steel type a few months ago.

It is clear that Kru participated in this interdimensional war, and through the abyssal laws under the blood battle, he was able to complete his advancement with the help of his half of the demon bloodline.

It must be said that Kru is the most talented of Nems's men, and at this point he has already pulled far ahead of the other Nems's men.

"Unfortunately, you missed the best time to strike..." Alalos sighed.

If he were to make his move while he was fighting other demon lords, he would indeed be in trouble, and it might even become the catalyst for his defeat and death.

But now the Lord of the Black Prison has left to rescue the Holy Son, and Atata is also not far away.

He only needed to kill his own son to extricate himself from the war as quickly as possible and then leave with his territory.

Even if the Clown King dies and the Black Prison Lord gets caught up in a battle with Atta, he can still seize some of their territory to make up for his losses.

Kru smiled upon hearing his father's words.

“No, now is just right!” He pushed up his glasses, his eyes fixed on Alaros with nothing but deep-seated hatred.

The only person who was kind to him since childhood was his mother, but his mother was merely the material that Alalos used to create a vessel.

"Oh?" Alalos appeared nonchalant, and with a wave of his hand, a swarm of black insects crawled out of his body.

Each of these black insects has stats higher than Kru's; any one of them could kill Kru in his current state.

In terms of ability, although Kru has been promoted to a Gold-class, he has not randomly absorbed the numbers and characteristics of various demons. Although his understanding of curses is high, he is at most an ordinary Gold-class at present.

If he hadn't been the son of Alaros, he might not even have had the chance to curse him.

These days, being able to make a curse take effect for a few seconds is considered a pretty good curse technique from Kru.

In reality, Alalos was on high alert at this moment. He quickly suppressed the curse on his body and quietly severed his connection with the insects.

Make sure you start to disengage from the battle, and then prepare to leave directly when the opportunity arises.

As a demon lord capable of killing his superiors to rise to power, Alalos keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The next moment, Alalos was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Nemus who appeared not far away.

Even though Klu is Nems's subordinate, and even though he had a deep impression of Nems, the person who had hindered his sinking of the Azure Whale.

Even when he saw Kru, Alaros did not remember the existence of Nemus.

It wasn't until Nemes walked towards him step by step that he suddenly remembered that there was such a person as Nemes.

"You killed the Clown King?!" Sensing the Lord's authority on Nemus, Alaros's expression was extremely serious.

Nemus wasn't a demon lord before, but with the support of the floating whale, he was able to fight him to a standstill.

As a demon lord, one thing he knew best was how much his strength would increase after becoming a lord.

"In the name of Nemus, the fictional Plains Lord of the 181st floor, I declare war on the 333rd floor!" Nemus looked at the twin demons who had once driven him to the brink of despair with a single projection and issued the declaration of war.

As the new demon lord, he was able to leave directly with most of the original 181 floors of territory.

However, declaring war now would only further escalate the interdimensional war. At the same time, both the Black Prison Lord and Atata could sense that if they withdrew from the battlefield now, they would relinquish their lordships.

"I see. If the new lord declares war again, then the previous 'losers' will no longer exist, and the war can't truly end!" Atata couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

In previous interdimensional wars, even if a demon lord was killed by a high-ranking demon, and that high-ranking demon inherited the lord's position, they did not continue to declare war because it was difficult for them to consolidate their power in a short period of time.

At most, they would try to fight twice before withdrawing with their territory.

Nemus was the first new demon lord they knew to do so.

"So, this is a fight to the death?!" Alalos looked at Nemus, showing no fear whatsoever.

What's done is done, and any negative emotions won't change the current situation.

It would be better to think about how to avoid your own death.

“I have a secret about the Lord of the Black Prison. Why don’t we use this as an opportunity to join forces and kill him?” Alaros asked.

Although it cannot be confirmed whether the Lord of the Black Prison is indeed related to the Discipline Church as he suspects, this does not prevent him from using this information.

The fictional demons themselves have been developing within the territory of the Discipline Church; they share a common enemy and have an opportunity to unite.

"No, I think it's better if you die!" Nemus opened his arms, feeling the entire 181st floor echoing him.

Then, Naim's value was naturally boosted to around three thousand.

After the battle with the Clown King, he suppressed the previous lord in the special space inherited by the lord and with his own fictional rules.

When the rules of the territory were finally changed through skill, Nemus's value had risen from over nine hundred to just over one thousand.

The triple boost to his lord's authority allowed him to clearly feel the numbers expand to three thousand.

This feeling is quite wonderful, as if numbers are no longer just numbers, and the power of numbers to mobilize external energy has been sublimated.

Unfortunately, the three thousand value of Nemus did not truly belong to him, so his perception of the sublimation of this number was very weak.

"Sure enough, the values ​​will change after reaching a certain level." Nemus carefully sensed the faint feeling of sublimation.

Then another Nemus stepped out from behind, this Nemus's stats were only around 700.

And this is one of the powers of the demon lord—the demon projection.

With a flick of his wrist, Nemus's projection blurred and materialized in his hand, forming a longsword shrouded in black mist.

He already has plenty of clones, so he doesn't really need projections.

Perhaps we should treat it as a kind of combat capability and conduct some testing.
