To be precise, it is part of the special rule of change—absurdity.
These are changes that defy common sense, are outside of normal understanding, yet are indeed possible.
That's precisely why it's absurd.
The fact that the Clown King was able to condense "absurdity" is naturally related to the rules of change and has a relevant medium.
Therefore, although it takes the path of "absurdity", it has also gained some understanding of change.
Sensing the spread of change, Clown King swiftly tracked Nemus's location.
The other party was a different kind of demon, whose soul fell into the River Styx after death and would not be so easily destroyed.
Despite being a demon lord, the Clown King had also studied related matters.
Furthermore, after the opponent's body was pulled and melted, most of the power remained scattered among these worms.
His cards also incorporate a lot of related powers.
In this situation, Nemes can't escape!
However, the Clown King soon discovered the problem: he was indeed able to find traces of Nemus's soul flow, but these traces quickly split apart.
The instant Nemus died, an abyssal worm swallowed Nemus's soul whole.
Therefore, the Clown King could no longer sense Nemus's soul, and the only target he could investigate became the Abyss Worm.
However, we are currently in a state of chaotic fighting.
The abyssal worm was torn apart and devoured by the other abyssal worms in an instant.
During this process, Nemus's soul was definitely transferred.
The target has grown from one to dozens, and these dozens are still splitting up in this short period of time, with the number of targets for suspicion increasing rapidly.
The most critical point is that if they were on the shore, the Clown King could easily wipe out the tens of thousands of abyssal worms that had gathered here and whose numbers were still increasing, with a single thought, and then force out Nemus.
But now they are in the River Styx.
Although He temporarily expanded His territory and came to the River Styx with the authority of a lord.
It can also deal with the worms in the River Styx, gradually eliminating dozens or even hundreds of worms without any problem.
However, killing tens of thousands of abyssal worms at once would mean waging war against the River Styx.
Although the River Styx is special and runs through most of the abyss levels.
Often, people overlook one thing—the River Styx is also a layer of the abyss, the 000th layer of the River Styx.
Then there is the Abyss 001 Layer, the Myriad Abyss Plain, which is the top layer of the Abyss.
These two special levels do not have demon lords, and the will of the abyss will not allow any demon to become its lord.
If I expand my territory, and the Styx also expands its territory, then a dimensional war between me and the Styx will begin.
This was the case when we fought the Twin Demons on the 333rd floor.
Although the Styx River will not initiate a war, it does have the option of being forced into one.
For example, an alien demon slaughtered the abyssal larvae.
In addition, there is the issue of going too deep into the River Styx.
At this moment, Clown King only dared to stand on the land that had been expanded from his territory, and dared not jump completely into the River Styx.
We can only watch as the number of clues changes, from one at the beginning to thousands now, and it continues to increase.
After pondering for a moment, Clown King watched as the power of divine faith dissipated, and the River Styx returned to its calm state, except for the tens of thousands of abyssal worms that had gathered there.
He understood that the best course of action at that moment was to stop interfering and abandon the attempt to capture Nemus.
It appears that Nemes is reincarnating and rebuilding in some extreme way.
Even if the other party succeeds, it will take many years for them to become a high-ranking demon.
It may cause some trouble in the future, but once He is free from the interdimensional war, dealing with a high-level demon will be quite easy.
He should now focus on the interdimensional war...
However, at this moment, the Clown King felt that he couldn't swallow this anger, and at the same time, he had a vague premonition that Nemus might be a big problem.
He suddenly pulled, and demons appeared nearby.
These demons, suddenly pulled in, were all dead before they even knew what was happening.
Their souls were then cast into the River Styx, where they once again drifted and tumbled in its waters, undergoing transformation.
But at that moment, Clown King pulled out a hat.
He grabbed the hat and with a wave of his hand, he collected all those souls into it.
Then her body began to twist and turn, and she began to dance a strange yet graceful dance.
The hat in his hand tumbled, and the soul inside changed with it.
Then the Clown King shook his hat, and his entire soul was thrown into the River Styx.
These souls underwent rapid changes after entering the River Styx.
They complete the egg formation extremely quickly and then hatch from it.
A quick count reveals that there are actually several hundred of them.
One by one, abyssal worms emerged from it and began to devour each other.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that these abyssal worms have some paint on their bodies, and their originally ferocious faces vaguely resemble clowns.
These abyssal worms have essentially locked in their future evolutionary path.
Growing from a worm, it evolves into a comical imp, a rather special kind of little devil.
Then, after evolving into a full-fledged demon, it becomes the Clown Demon.
This also reflects the Clown King's understanding of the rules of change, enabling him to forcibly guide change and thus fix its direction.
But Clown King has never liked his own kind.
His characteristics and the rules of His territory are clearly 'absurd'.
However, this rule is still subject to change.
And absurd changes are very likely to occur—for example, one's position as lord is taken over by another clown demon.
Clown King had a vague premonition of this absurdity.
Therefore, He instinctively rejects all clown demons.
He would kill any clown demon he saw immediately.
No clown demons are allowed to exist in their own territory.
Even some of the lesser demons that are not necessarily the predecessors of the Clown Demon, such as the rare lesser demons in the lesser demon series like the Funny Imp, the Bloodthirsty Imp, and the Hidden Imp, will be monitored by Him.
Once a lesser demon is promoted to a clown demon, His secretly monitored minions will immediately eliminate him.
At this moment, however, He had to create so many evolutionary paths that were confined to the abyssal worms of the Clown Demon.
In this way, the Clown King did not set foot on the River Styx, but hundreds of abyssal worms connected to Him began to track Nemus in His place.
These abyssal worms are subtly controlled and guided by the Clown King.
They have also been enhanced by the Clown King, giving them a significant advantage over other abyssal worms.
Chapter 415 Rebirth
These clown worms, like wolves that have broken into a flock of sheep, viciously devour the other worms.
And usually, a single pounce and bite is enough to gnaw off the head of another worm.
Before it had finished chewing its food, it pounced on the other worms.
With this high efficiency, these clown worms quickly collected enough flesh and soul to begin their ascension.
However, the instincts of the Styx life forms restrained them, causing them to hold back their ascension and wait until they reached the shore before completing it.
Otherwise, the waves of the River Styx alone would be enough to crush them.
Even if most abyssal worms meet the promotion requirements, they will only be driven to promote by instinct after being washed ashore.
In this situation, these clown worms naturally... begin to rise in rank.
The Clown King stood on the shore, driving the change.
The clown worm was triggered by a pre-existing change within itself, forcing it to advance. Almost without any surprises, it quickly rose to become the comical imp of the imp series.
After struggling in the River Styx for two or three seconds, his body was torn to pieces.
The surrounding worms, attracted by the high-level flesh, quickly moved towards this side.
Then the flesh and blood belonging to the comical imp were devoured by these worms.
A stream of change energy flowed into the bodies of these worms.
Next, the probability of these worms evolving into imps from the Imp series increases dramatically.
However, at the same time, they were also infected by the Clown King.
"No……"
"Next batch!"
Among these infected worms, the Clown King did not find Nemus's soul.
So He decisively promoted a new batch of worms to advance, and then let more flesh and blood spread out, disseminating His own power.
He believed that as long as he continued, Nemes wouldn't be able to escape.
However, as a new batch of worms were killed and the Joker still couldn't find any trace of Nemus, the Joker's expression changed—someone else had come to raid his base!
After glancing at the River Styx, Clown King quickly left.
Nems represents a potential future danger, while an enemy that attacks your doorstep and is left unattended could become an immediate threat.
The Clown King had no choice but to abandon his efforts to advance the Clown Worms. He issued an order for the remaining Clown Worms to hunt down more worms before quickly leaving.
They could only hope that these clown worms would be lucky enough to eat the worm that carried Nemus's soul.
In the River Styx, countless worms are still fighting.
However, more worms had accumulated enough and instinctively swam away.
They will come ashore at the next tide and then complete their ascent.
What the Clown King didn't know was that after He left, more and more worms left, but there were still thousands of worms fighting each other.
Of these thousands of worms, most were clown worms, while a small portion were those that had absorbed Nemus's power.
These worms can sense the benefits of both Nemus and the Joker's power.
They instinctively know that if they can kill more worms that have gained these powers, they will gain even more potential after ascending to become lesser demons.
Soon, before the battle was even over, the tides of the River Styx had already arrived.
This group of worms was pushed by the tide and arrived at the shore of the 181st floor.
After reaching the shore, a figure slowly emerged; it was the Clown Demon dressed in a black robe.
The Clown Demon looked at the countless worms, abyssal worm eggs, and the thousand worms emanating a special aura on the shore.
He smiled slightly, then knelt down and began to pray.
This area changed accordingly, and some of the Clown King's hidden tricks were also 'modified'.
The human-shaped balloon buried in the soil now has some 'dazzling colors' in its eyes, and the things it sees and the aura it senses are also modified and obscured.
Normally, the Clown King might have noticed this, but right now he's focused most of his energy on the interdimensional war and the sneaky raid on his base.
Thus, this small change was managed to go unnoticed by the Clown King without him investigating it thoroughly.
The 181-layer mudflats are densely covered with worms that are half a meter or one and a half meters long.
Among these worms, there are about a thousand rather special worms.
They began to change rapidly as soon as they came ashore.
The original yellowish-white skin hardened rapidly, and the entire body turned into a cocoon.
