He can completely erase his own memories; if the other party hadn't appeared in front of him, he wouldn't even be able to observe them.

In this situation, it would be too easy to kill oneself.

"I observed a demon advancing to a higher-level demon here two hours ago, so I came to hunt it."

"I am willing to sign a contract and take your orders as my mission..." the Fear Demon said tremblingly.

"Is that so?" Nemus laughed after hearing this.

“Then go and kill the Clown King.” Nemus patted him on the shoulder.

The "Grace" trait is activated, and destiny begins to take shape.

As Nemus's hand left the Fear Demon's shoulder, the Fear Demon's expression of surprise and fear changed rapidly.

In the end, all that was left was bewilderment.

Why is he kneeling here? And why did I suddenly have the urge to kill the Clown King?

Confused by the situation, the fear demon quickly got up and flew away into the distance.

The farther they fly, the faster the fear demon's 'impression' of certain things fades.

He even quickly forgot most of what had happened before.

All I remember is that I was hunting down those newly promoted high-ranking demons, and in the process I fought a very troublesome air demon. Although I was seriously injured, I still managed to kill it.

The only pity is that the demon of air left nothing of value after its death.

Then a thought of killing the Clown King was buried deep in his heart.

He will then find himself irresistibly drawn to killing the Clown King, and will inevitably embark on a path to do so.

Whether he succeeds or not depends on his ability and a bit of luck.

"As expected, using other targets as carriers consumes very little of my luck." The previous Qi Demon was entirely handcrafted by Nemus, and its connection with the outside world, that is, its 'luck,' required Nemus's blessing, so it consumed a lot of Nemus's luck.

But the Demon of Fear is different; it possesses a relatively large amount of luck.

"And this time it's a long-term destiny, he has enough time to accumulate the relevant 'luck'."

"Judging from the current situation, he really does have a certain chance of killing the Clown King."

This will not impose any burden on Nemus's fate.

"A god-level trait that can be used in the layout." Nemus was very satisfied with this.

"So, aren't you coming out?" Nemus asked.

In the shadows, a figure raised his hands and stepped out, looking at Nems with fear in his eyes.

Nemes completed his ascension on the mudflats a day earlier, while the Fear Demon witnessed the ascension two hours earlier.

Therefore, the Fear Demon was right; he had mistaken Nemus for the high-ranking demon who had been promoted two hours earlier.

"I never expected that you, Salish, would become a high-ranking demon," Nemus said with a smile.

This demon, who had just completed his promotion and was hiding, was none other than the Cambyon demon—Salish—that Nemus had previously purchased information from in town.

He looked at Nemus with a fawning smile, but inside he was gripped by a deep fear.

I witnessed firsthand how a fear demon with a power level of 800 or 900 was toyed with at will by Nemus.

And he could sense that he wasn't much better off.

He would quickly forget about Nems as soon as he looked away.

The feeling of having one's own memories out of control, yet clearly knowing that a monster exists outside of those memories, is simply the ultimate form of fear.

So much so that during that time, he dared not look away, fearing that if he stopped observing, he would forget Nems's existence.

However, such observation would inevitably make one's presence too strong, thus being noticed by Nems.

“It’s all just because they received sponsorship from other people.” Salish had completely lost the confidence he had when he was in town.

He was confident before, partly because he had traded with Nemus once before and could tell that Nemus was a demon with reason and basic logic, not one of those completely chaotic beings.

On the other hand, his father was also in the town at that time.

But things are different now, so whatever Nems asks, Salish answers.

The terrifying presence of Nemus had already breached his psychological defenses.

Soon Nems figured out Salish's true identity and the schemes of the people behind him.

The main person behind Salish was his father, a nightmare.

In addition, there was a saint from the Church of the Moon Goddess.

The Church of the Moon Goddess is a branch of the Church of the Sky.

However, the Sky Church is both united and divided, and each of these gods has its own ulterior motives.

For example, the Moon Goddess plans to support a demon lord.

Although the abyss is barren, it also has its own advantages.

For example, the Will of the Abyss is a huge knowledge base, and the Abyss's 'teleportation and summoning' system is another example.

The Abyss exists in the outer layer of the astral plane and is adjacent to the etheric layer.

It possesses a complete and well-established 'channel' that allows people in any material plane to summon demons from the abyss by offering sacrifices.

In fact, it's not just demons that can be summoned.

With just a slight adjustment, those visitors from other worlds can be summoned to other material planes via the passages of the abyss.

Although it loses the ability for the soul to immediately return to the abyss through the summoning connection upon the death of the vessel, it is still a very convenient and even safe means of teleportation.

Within the abyss, there are many visitors from other worlds who are actually smugglers from multiple dimensions.

The Church of the Moon Goddess wanted to support a demon lord, and it was certainly not just for smuggling purposes.

However, what exactly he wanted to do was beyond Salehi's knowledge.

The object of the Moon Goddess Church's support was none other than his father, that nightmare demon.

Or rather, Salish's mother was one of the people sent to the abyss by the Church of the Moon to carry out the plan, only of a lower status.

Therefore, after Salish was born, she was naturally included in this plan.

Chapter 426 Rules of Dimensional Warfare

"So the saint from the Church of the Moon is targeting the Clown King?" Nemus asked.

Salish nodded quickly.

At the same time, he was wary of Nemus's hand, and he was terrified that Nemus might pat him. He forgot all of this and then desperately followed the orders given by Nemus.

“Don’t worry, you’re different from that fear demon,” Nemus said directly without approaching Salish.

At this moment, the Clown Demon also revealed himself, appearing behind Nemus.

At his current level, what he needs are talented people, not just brute force.

If they are just brute force fighters, then by using artificial souls, Nemus can create a batch of gold-level combatants.

But this doesn't really make much sense.

At least not now.

Before Nemus becomes a lord-level deity, such high-combat-power individuals have limited effectiveness. Bringing them to your side is less effective than bestowing upon them a mission through "gifts" and having them do the work.

What he needs now are production and management talents.

After all, Nems's business is now expanding.

The old system, where most things were managed by Naim alone, could no longer continue.

As long as these talents are available, the number of combat-related talents can grow rapidly over time.

That fear demon was different; although it was a type of demon that primarily manipulated emotions, it was utterly brainless.

Such individuals should appear in the material plane, not in the abyss.

Given the chaotic relationships within the Abyss, his ability to manipulate emotions is actually quite limited.

However, judging from his various traces, this fear demon has been in the abyss for a long time, mostly lurking and hunting down newly ascended beings.

This shows that the other party is brainless and has completely wasted their abilities.

Salish, however, was different. He was a rare intelligence talent, and Nems was currently lacking such a person.

The same goes for the Clown Demon. Judging from simple contact and first impressions, the Clown Demon is the kind of person who can stand on his own.

After all, in his true demon form, he could boldly and carefully infiltrate the absurd plains, which were full of malice towards the Clown Demon.

That's why the Clown Demon is a talent to Nemus, and a talent that can target the Clown King.

But that fearful demon was not it.

After hearing Nems' words, Salish calmed down a bit.

As an intelligence agent, the fact that he, an unpopular Cambyon demon, was able to receive funding from the Church of the Moon to become a high-ranking demon naturally indicates that he is quite capable.

He carries methods planted by the Moon Goddess Church, and when he reveals information detrimental to the Moon Goddess Church, headquarters will receive an alert.

The more he talks, the more restrictions he will face, and in the end, he may die suddenly.

But in front of Nemes, these restrictions seemed to have all become ineffective.

No matter how much he said, he didn't trigger any of his own limitations.

From this perspective, Nemes' methods have completely overwhelmed the restrictions currently imposed on him by the Church of the Moon.

Since that's the case, why not join forces with Nems? Perhaps we can gain more benefits that way.

At that moment, Salish immediately revealed his entire situation, then voluntarily signed an unequal contract with Nems and offered to hand over his source, all in the hope of gaining Nems's true trust.

At this moment, Nems truly subdued Salish.

He provided them with his wholehearted assistance.

Otherwise, even if Salish was so frightened before, and even if Nems left various means to restrict him, his idea was still to seize every opportunity to plant mines for Nems, and then find a chance to escape.

Only by demonstrating one's abilities and showing the other party one's potential for development will the other party be willing to serve Naim.

After coercion, the next step must be enticement.

After signing the contract, Nemes began to make plans.

“If it were before, my goal would have been simply the position of lord of the Twin Demons.”

“But given the current situation, perhaps our goals can be bigger.” Naim’s eyes were already rehearsing various future scenarios.

After confirming some future scenarios, Nemus said, "Clown Demon, your current task is to complete your advancement to a higher-ranking demon."

“As for Salish, you continue to infiltrate the Moon Goddess's forces and pass on important information to me.” Nemus reached out, and a rope moved, connecting Nemus and Salish.

They can exchange information, and Nems can also actively transmit energy to Salish, and even his own soul will descend to control his body in some way.

"In addition to that, we should try our best to obtain information about the four demon lords who have started this war."

"I need to escalate the intensity of the war further, ideally to the point where the area of ​​territorial clashes exceeds 15 percent."

"Nems said, and Salish and the Clown Demon both nodded, confirming this interim goal."

When two different levels initiate a dimensional war, the territories between the two levels will connect and collide, and the rules will intertwine. The initial collision area is usually only five percent.

It's essentially like dividing 5% of the territory from two different levels and piecing them together.

Now, it's three layers joining forces to attack one layer.

The initial collision area was only three percent.

During the interdimensional war, if all the demons on one's side die in a certain territory, then it is considered completely lost.

The lord who lost territory must either continue to fill in the corresponding territory and continue the war to ensure that the initial collision area remains unchanged.

Alternatively, they could also pay reparations for the remaining territories still under war.

Or you could take a gamble and raise the stakes!

If there are several participating parties, the minimum increase must be a certain percentage.

The more territory one has, the more troops one can use, and the more regional forces one can mobilize.
