The real battle then took place in the Astral Plane.

The reason Nems felt unfamiliar was because the situation was not right.

"The God of Discipline actually held on this time!" Nemus had never seen that colossal demon that spanned the heavens and the earth before.

In other words, this 'past reappearance' is a possibility that the God of Discipline seized an opportunity to place the battlefield on the Plains of Ten Thousand Abyss.

Indeed, at this moment, Nemus could sense a historical aura surrounding him.

Clearly, the current situation is not a false illusion, but a re-enactment of past history by the will of the abyss in some way.

The events here have a certain 'reality' about them; if Nemes died here, then he might really be dead.

As for what Nems is going to do, it's quite simple.

Let 'history' be made to look correct.

Nems needs to do something to change the situation.

"They really don't hold back." Nemus looked at the battlefield, feeling every wisp of his spirit becoming more active.

A prayer angel swooped down from the sky, its flaming sword aimed at Nemus, and cleaved down at Nemus with a maximum value of one thousand.

A sword of energy appeared in Nemus's hand, and at the same time, something transparent formed in Nemus's hand and then flowed into the sword of energy.

As the blades clashed, Nemus sliced ​​through the flaming longsword with a single strike, then flicked the blade across the body of the Prayer Angel.

However, even with a huge gash in his chest, it did not affect the actions of the prayer angel.

A great deal of divine power burst forth from His body, followed by the divine spell, Divine Light Finger, which seemed to be burning.

Rays of light burst forth from the body of the Prayer Angel.

The powerful divine attributes combined with the high numerical value cause the multiplier of this divine spell to rise rapidly.

As Nemus faced these attacks, the blade in his hand flowed, and with a change in his aura, he had already slashed at the beams of light.

The light, which was originally traveling straight, seemed to encounter some kind of mirror the moment it hit the sword, and was cleaved in two by the sword, bouncing off onto another Prayer Angel on the other side.

However, because they were both of the same holy attribute, it did not cause much damage to the prayer angel.

Fortunately, the high-ranking demon who was fighting the prayer angel quickly seized the opportunity.

A cloud of black smoke billowed out, binding the prayer angel. No matter how much the prayer angel struggled, it could not break free from the black smoke's seal.

Several bright lights seemed to flash within the black smoke, completely killing the prayer angel.

Nemus loosened his grip slightly, and the Qi Sword began to fly up on its own.

This was a small test of the "living soul's" power. Nemus created an artificial soul and injected it into his qi sword.

It is precisely because of this that Nemus's swordsmanship has become 'spirited'.

This spiritual aid helped Nemus's swordsmanship become more refined, even reaching the microscopic realm, resulting in things like 'splitting' light.

And this is only the initial application.

"Releasing artificial souls out and creating puppet-like intelligent weapons is the simplest use, but also the most foolish approach."

Is Nemus's ability just for having cannon fodder?

If you want cannon fodder, Nemus, now a hybrid demon, can directly summon demons, summoning a group of regular demons.

The true power of an artificial soul lies in the fact that it is a soul itself and possesses the functions of a soul.

It possesses numbers and values, and its creator, Nemus, has strong control over it and a certain ability to modify it.

“The soul itself is a high-end, even top-tier, characteristic!” Nemus pondered the soul.

Only then should you focus your thinking on the task at hand.

This matter is certainly not about killing that prayer angel.

The Prayer Angel has a value of one thousand and possesses many characteristics and traits of celestial beings.

However, in terms of strength, the Prayer Angel is actually 'average'.

While its characteristics are strong, it lacks top-tier ones. Its skills are decent, but they feel somewhat formulaic.

Although Nemus only had a stat of 500 at the moment, he was confident that he could kill the Prayer Angel relatively easily.

But this does not solve the problem.

Naims looked up and saw countless prayer angels.

A rough estimate suggests that the number of these prayer angels alone is likely in the hundreds of thousands.

Even if he used all his strength to kill more than a dozen prayer angels, it would not have any impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, if we want to change the overall situation and make this history 'possibly' return to normal, we must find the key to the God of Discipline's ability to gain a foothold this time.

“Then…” Nemus looked inward into the depths of his own soul, where that portion of the divine essence was now also present.

Whether Nemus could break through the limitations of his soul, be reborn while being pursued by the Clown King, and demonstrate his potential was a test of Nemus's soul.

Now is the test of his control over his divine status.

In the current situation, only by using divine power can I change it.

But how to use it, where to use it, and how to give yourself the opportunity to use it are all questions.

While this may only represent a historical possibility, it does not mean that the current 'God of Discipline' possesses false power.

The other party, at least based on historical context, possesses the corresponding 'capabilities'.

Therefore, if Nemus is too arrogant, he will most likely be crushed by the God of Discipline.

The next step is either to investigate the opponent's key locations or to prepare to eliminate that key target.

Both require taking huge risks.

“So we can’t act recklessly.” Nemus didn’t rush to kill the prayer angel, but instead engaged it in a fierce battle.

While fighting, he observed the entire battlefield and began to strategize.

Chapter 418 Artificial Faith: All About Technology and Ruthless Work

The entire battlefield was covered by divine power, and conventional reconnaissance could not reveal how the enemy was able to gain a foothold at the top of the abyss in the Wanyuan Plain.

The Plains of Abyss is the largest breeding ground in the abyss.

If the River Styx only slightly borders the other layers, occasionally the tides wash abyssal worm eggs and worms ashore.

However, the Styx River runs through the Wanyuan Plain, flowing across the plain and even having corresponding tributaries.

Every moment, a large number of insect eggs are washed ashore on the Wanyuan Plain and begin to hatch.

Because it is the front section of the River Styx, there are basically no pre-hatched worms. All the worm eggs need to wait one or two days to hatch after they are brought ashore.

Because there is no lord, many high-ranking demons and formal demons have gathered in the Abyss Plains.

And because this is the top layer of the abyss.

Visitors from other dimensions, if they use the astral plane as a passage, usually arrive at the Plains of Ten Thousand Abyss.

It can be said that the Wanyuan Plain is the most prosperous and diverse place in the Abyss.

Here, you can see all sorts of things.

Of course, this area, which was originally a battlefield, has now been basically a blank field because it was bombed by the Holy One.

Only a few things remained.

After failing to find the key points, Nemus's gaze fell on the remnants.

Once the thought crossed his mind, he no longer held back.

The sword in his hand split apart the moment they clashed, and countless streams of energy surged forth.

The holy halo surrounding the prayer angels who fought Nemus formed a special protective layer.

However, the next moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his body.

A mass of something that seemed to come alive inside His body broke through His body and destroyed His life.

That mass, which resembled both flesh and blood and breath, rushed towards Nemus and affectionately circled around Him.

The angel did not show any emotional fluctuation.

As divine war weapons mass-produced by the divine kingdom, they do not possess a self, and like the demons of the abyss, their souls return to the divine kingdom after death, where they are 'remodeled' once again.

Countless streams of energy surged in Nemus's hand, transforming into wisps of fine sword energy.

But in the end, he 'failed' to catch up with the prayer angel.

"Hopefully, this will work." Nemus watched as the soul of the Prayer Angel vanished, then began creating artificial souls.

Soil, air, and other elements are drawn by Nemus to create souls with different qualities.

"As of now, I don't understand much about the 'living soul' trait." Nemus watched the artificial soul flow, then dived into the scattered remnants, secretly pondering the analysis of the 'living soul' characteristic.

Nemes' research on the soul currently focuses on three areas: heterogeneous structures, soul remnants, and infection/contamination.

If Nemus is not allowed to use his special abilities to create an artificial soul, he will either die again and generate a soul by being reborn and infused with life.

Alternatively, they could use existing soul power to create a soul component that, at present, is not up to standard and falls far short of being an artificial soul.

However, by using "living souls," one can directly create an artificial soul according to their needs using external elements.

This shows that the "Life Soul" characteristic is still a black box for him at present.

If one can decipher it, one will definitely be able to touch the essence of the soul.

“But… fate, time and space, cause and effect, and now another soul, plus the ‘change’ represented by the divine authority of discipline, the workload is not small.” Nemus rubbed his head, which was a little sore from creating a large number of artificial souls.

The previously coalesced head exploded into black mist. Nemus pinched one of the restless sparks and calmed it down.

After his head snapped back together, Nems finally felt a little better.

"So that's how it is. There's a temporary angel pool, isn't there?" Nemus suddenly looked up at the place where the holy light was strongest.

After returning the soul of that prayer angel, we finally received the relevant information.

Because he himself possesses the identity of Angel A, he has a very clear understanding of the structure of the Prayer Angel.

Nemus infused a wisp of artificial soul into the power of faith of the God of Discipline, and then secretly used it to pierce the soul of the prayer angel.

When the other party returned, they also brought back that wisp of Nemus's artificial soul.

"If it were the Angel Pool of the Divine Kingdom, with its sophisticated detection capabilities, my artificial soul might be discovered."

“But now, it’s just a temporary angel pool standing in the abyss, so the room for maneuver has increased.” Nemus kept the wisp of artificial soul silent and then began to analyze.

"Angel Pool is something that history failed to establish successfully."

"Therefore, the Angel Pool is very likely a change brought about by the change in possibilities, and it is one of the core changes."

"If things proceed normally, then everything will be just like the correct history."

"The God of Discipline was sent into the Plains of Abyss, but was quickly pushed back to the Astral Plane and failed to gain a foothold in the Abyss."

"This possibility now inevitably has a point of divergence that is different from the correct history."

"This point of divergence is the key point. It is what led to the emergence of the temporary angel pool and also helped the God of Discipline gain a foothold."

“I need to resolve this point of divergence.” Nemus knew that even if the temporary angel pool was destroyed now, it wouldn’t restore the history here to its correct state; he had to find that point of divergence.

After exploring the Angel Pool, Nemus began another plan of his.

The remnants from the previous Abyss Plains now bear the imprint of many artificial souls created by Nemus.

After these artificial souls infiltrated it, they did not immediately take action, but instead remained dormant within it.

After Naims recovered and organized his thoughts, his mind began to spark with inspiration.

A great deal of faith has emerged amidst oppression, and this change has attracted the attention of many.

These remains are mostly metal materials, solid stones, and dead objects such as the bones of certain organisms, but now faith is beginning to emerge from them?

And what can these beliefs do now?

"As expected, the quality of faith is extremely low." Nemus sensed this but was not surprised; it was all within expectations.

An artificial soul is still a soul, and it possesses a certain degree of instinctive thinking.

As long as one possesses thought, one can transform spiritual power into the power of faith through cognition.
