Chapter 442 The Power of History

"It utilizes the temperature change caused by the release of light and heat to construct the seal; it is essentially a displacement reaction."

"Based on this simple principle, releasing causes damage, and absorbing seals it. In this way, a fire weapon can have double the damage on top of its original power."

"Most importantly, after absorbing the shadow creatures, we can use their characteristics to construct weapons and imbue them with a sealing effect against shadows."

Nemus marveled at the technology involved and couldn't help but look at the priest who was controlling the fire demon.

The other person is only about four hundred years old.

For ordinary humans, this is already a figure of ancient ancestor status.

However, among the golden-type, he can only be considered to be in his prime.

Both in terms of physical and mental condition, he is in his prime.

Unlike those who become Gold-level and then slack off, remaining at only a couple hundred points even after hundreds of years, this person hasn't spent much time indulging in pleasures over the years.

On the one hand, it was due to the transformation of light, and on the other hand, most of his energy was devoted to figuring out sealing techniques.

"There are really a lot of talented people in the church!" Nemus exclaimed.

The material plane is richer in resources than the abyss.

Although the human growth cycle is slower than that of demons, it is actually the human 'spirituality' that grows during this process.

Nemus discovered a problem long ago: although the Abyss possessed the world's largest knowledge base and the methods for acquiring knowledge were convenient, it only required some blood sacrifices.

However, apart from being exceptionally intelligent in the study of contracts, demons can learn most other technical knowledge by simply studying it; they rarely create it on their own.

One reason is that the abyss environment is chaotic, making the cost-effectiveness of creating and researching it oneself too low.

On the other hand, it is because most demons lack spirituality; their growth is accelerated, and their lives consist only of various desires and instincts.

In this situation, the desire to create is extremely low.

The same applies to creative abilities.

Humans are different. Their social environment is stable enough, and through years of living, their spirituality develops, which often leads to the emergence of many creative talents.

In essence, human combat capabilities are not outstanding; the key lies in their social nature and the long-term stable benefits brought about by production and life after social stability.

This production capacity is the secret to how humans gradually became the dominant species and eventually surpassed other races.

"No wonder the Abyss, despite having so many advantages, still struggles to gain much advantage in the material plane."

“Production and creation professions offer too much room for error,” Naim thought to himself.

Then I started to focus on learning from others.

Nemus himself had studied sealing techniques, and he could also use sealing techniques to craft things like berserk parts and soul parts.

Learning sealing techniques is something you'll never regret.

Those shadow weapons are still stuck in the ground, constantly absorbing shadow power and strengthening their ability to counter shadow power.

This only temporarily neutralizes the shadow over this area; if this continues, and if more similar weapons emerge…

Upon seeing this, Atata unleashed several dark tentacles, attempting to pull the weapons into the shadows.

At the same time, many tentacles emerged, heading towards the fire demon.

The threat posed by such people is currently small, but it should not be ignored.

We need to be wary of their power snowballing.

On the other side, the other judges also displayed their skills.

One of them had a slightly lower score, only around 700, and its external demonic identity was a phantom demon.

Phantoms are a type of high-level demon, such as succubi and dream demons, which are mental illusion demons. When advancing to a higher-level demon, if they choose to evolve along with their race, they will most likely evolve into phantoms.

These types of demons are naturally able to bewitch people and create illusions. At the same time, their mental power gains deceptive characteristics, making them very elusive and often able to manipulate other demons through illusions.

At this moment, the controller of this Phantom Arbiter also had a clever idea.

He is skilled in his family's swordsmanship, which is a top-tier swordsmanship with mist as its main attribute.

With a single swing of the sword, only countless droplets of mist were created, while the blade remained hidden within the mist.

He combined the illusion magic of the Illusion Demon with fog, creating a kind of illusion magic that condenses fog.

It appears real yet false; when gathered together, it is real; when scattered, it is false.

Furthermore, fog is essentially an extension of swordsmanship. The more pervasive the fog, the more numerous the things it affects, and the greater the power of the swordsmanship.

Essentially, it uses fog to mobilize more natural elemental forces.

The actual results should be quite amazing.

Originally, this sword technique belonged to a certain sword saint. Now, this sword technique has been combined with the illusion magic of the Illusion Demon, thus incorporating illusion magic into this field.

Once someone falls into an illusion and becomes engrossed in it, the illusion can also draw upon that person's power.

Just like a person trapped in a hallucination, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, actively pursuing false things.

Just like when a butterfly sees some white pieces of paper fluttering around, it will chase after them.

Illusion itself possesses a relatively strong guiding ability.

When incorporated into this style, this sword technique becomes extremely effective when facing groups of people.

When facing a single enemy, as long as the enemy is slightly unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, the outcome can be decided instantly with swordsmanship.

Thick fog rose and quickly covered the surrounding environment.

Even when surrounded by shadows, one's perception begins to be limited.

Each time the sensation spread, it felt like a sword blade was about to strike, and all my attention was drawn to the feeling of a sharp object hovering over the tip of my nose and between my eyebrows.

The other adjudicators also each have their own unique skills.

With their coordinated efforts, the shadowy tentacles were severed before they even got close to the Fire Demon.

This alone was enough to set off Atata's alarm bells.

His shadow tentacles, when used at full power, require even other demon lords to deal with carefully.

Although the flow of shadows in the area where those people were located was weakened because of those weapons, although their abilities and skills were quite good, and although I was now facing multiple opponents.

However, the difference in numerical power is so great that it can completely crush a person to death.

But ironically, his own shadow tentacles were dealt with just as naturally as they could have.

Nems, standing behind several adjudicators, could sense his own trait, "Legendary Journey," being activated.

This feeling gave Nems a vague understanding of history.

History is the past, and once the past is over, it has no real power to support it, so much of the past becomes 'meaningless'.

Only those pivotal moments in history that have shaped the present and the future can be remembered.

In short, it's about major events and the legends surrounding them!

Chapter 443 Black Fence

"Because it occupies an important position in the past, the past, present and future are in a continuous sequence according to the changes of time."

"The legendary species itself also possesses a great influence from the source."

If we consider time and destiny as a river, then the past is the upstream.

Those historical events with powerful influence are like waterfalls cascading from high cliffs.

As they flow toward the present and the future, they inevitably carry a kind of 'potential energy'.

And this 'potential energy' is the source of power for the current 'Legendary Journey'.

It is because of this force that things are moving toward the goal chosen by Nemus.

Any obstacles and difficulties encountered in the process will be overcome as a result.

"Even then, this power will not be limitless."

"While achieving our goal, we must also leave a significant mark on history. Otherwise, this force will diminish and eventually fail to sustain our 'Legendary Journey,' leading to defeat." Nemus carefully savored the feeling of using this feature for the first time.

However, the fighting elsewhere did not stop because of Nems's body odor.

The first person to resolve his own troubles was actually the Black Prison Master.

Although the high-ranking demons under the Black Prison Master joined forces, they suddenly lost all ability to resist and were killed by the Black Prison Master in a few moves.

After resolving this issue, the Black Prison Master glanced at Atata's side, then his body instantly disappeared into the space, with black lines rapidly spreading out before quickly dissipating.

Alalos, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately perked up.

His eyes gleamed with a vision of the future in which the Lord of the Black Prison used some power to find Him and launched a decisive attack.

Alalos instinctively wanted to seal that future with the "Forbidden Fruit Eye," and ideally guide the Black Prison Lord toward either the Clown King or Attata.

But I felt my whole body trembling involuntarily.

For some reason, the Black Prison Lord's karma is much larger than before, and the karmic cost He would have to pay to seal it is also terrifying.

This change in cause and effect made Alalos frown. Before he could think, the black lines that were the Black Prison Lord's avatar had already found the traces of His hiding place and came to his side.

This, in turn, raised new questions for Alalos.

Atata has the upper hand, and even after searching in the shadows for so long, it will still take quite some time to find Him.

How did the Lord of the Black Prison find Him so quickly?

All these questions were subsequently contained within the attack.

Since it's certain that I've been found, I might as well strike first.

Regardless of why the Black Prison Master's karma suddenly became so great, or why he was able to find him so quickly.

Once He is dead, then nothing else matters!

A swarm of insects flew out from their hiding place, and countless buzzing sounds quickly filled the air, enveloping the Black Prison Master.

Alalos's greatest skill is modification-type summoning magic.

And because of His twin nature, everything has a chance to double in number, but He often has no control over this chance.

If you want to force a doubling of the number of copies, the effort required is even greater than directly creating two copies.

So He chose to summon insects to win through sheer numbers.

Each insect summoned has the potential to multiply upon summoning, turning one into two.

That's exactly what happened; Alaros had originally only summoned a few dozen black beetles.

However, with the help of their special characteristics, their numbers instantly multiplied to more than a hundred.

The moment the Black Prison Master saw the black beetles, a knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

A large amount of black appeared, and some black fences quickly linked together to form a cage, trapping all the black beetles inside.

A hint of doubt flashed in Alalos's eyes. His Fallen Insects would rapidly split after being injured due to the taboo of 'Fallen'.

This information should not have been leaked yet.

But why did the Black Prison Master choose the most correct way to handle the situation so quickly?

The Black Prison Master stood in mid-air, his black robe covering his entire body fluttering, his eyes, hidden beneath the blackness, fixed on Alalos.

From His sight, a large number of black fences spread rapidly.

Alalos retreated quickly.

Based on the information He has gathered, the characteristics and abilities of the Lord of the Black Prison are more conceptual.

The source of all its abilities is this so-called 'black fence'.

This should be a man-made concept, and its original meaning should be fence.

A type of artificially constructed protective, enclosing, or barrier structure.

The concept of the Black Prison Master gave rise to characteristics such as confinement and domestication.

This is a very common concept, even a very weak one.
