"Tell me, why are you running away?" The Fly Demon was dressed in a gorgeous red outfit, and wore a gem on his finger made of things like eyes and souls.

Fly Demons consider themselves nobles, and they generally serve as stewards or messengers of powerful demons.

Often, they maintain a facade of elegance.

“I am the messenger of Lord Clown King, and you are of the same race as Lord Clown King. I respect you more than enough,” the Fly Demon said with a smile, standing to the side, despite the ferocious appearance of his insect-like head, which resembled that of a fly.

"Please don't resist, just let me take you away obediently, okay?" the Fly Demon said.

As soon as he finished speaking, something resembling a flexible tube or an insect's antennae was spat out of his hideous mouth and wrapped around the 'Clown Demon's' body.

The next moment, the fly demon's finger trembled slightly.

The clown demon, who was hiding in the shadows disguised as an ordinary demon, immediately sensed something was wrong. He instantly moved and nimbly jumped to the side.

Instantly, a large rift, resembling a chasm, appeared in the area where he had been standing.

Then came the slightly trembling sound.

Any demon that can reach a high level is not to be underestimated.

Even Bloodbab, who was instantly killed by Nemus, was no exception.

Don't be fooled by how casually Bloodbabu died; if you think about it carefully, you'll realize something.

Nemus first used a decoy to lure the enemy, then launched a counter-ambush, using two top-tier abilities to complete the strangulation in one fell swoop.

If that weren't the case, that Bloodbab possessed immortality, the ability to evade damage, and even a layer of blood-red armor on its body.

Conventional attacks are no match for Bloodbabu; in fact, they might allow him to seize an opening and kill you in one strike.

The same applies to the fly demon right now.

He was able to become a high-ranking demon, so he must have some skills.

Using mouthparts and spell-like siphoning.

He created another spell—Life Wave.

It can sense the enemy's life force fluctuations even when its mouthparts are entangled with others.

Through this vibrational resonance, one strengthens their body in this way, rather than simply restoring vitality.

Therefore, although he is a demon on the spiritual side, his physical attributes are no less than those of an average extreme steel species.

This even led to the formation of new characteristics.

Just a moment ago, he noticed that the 'Clown Demon's' life fluctuations were abnormal.

So almost instantly he figured out what the Joker was up to.

Then the surging sonic vibrations pressed down, quickly forming a pattern to completely crush the clown demon.

The 'clown demon' that the mouthparts were holding also withered rapidly under the siphoning.

The clown demon was instantly in dire straits.

The fly demon chuckled, then suddenly felt some pain in its body.

A figure had already appeared behind the Fly Demon.

Chapter 408 I've captured the Clownmon!

"Who is it?" the Fly Demon asked, only to find its mouth hanging down.

A sudden jolt went through him, and he sought healing magic to save himself. At the same time, he swung his mandibles, trying to grab the person behind him and use their flesh and blood to restore his own life force.

Unfortunately, his incredibly tough mouthparts, which he relied on, had broken into many pieces at some point.

"It's you..." The Fly Demon's life force was still surging within its body, trying to save its own life, and its wings were flapping wildly behind it.

Unfortunately, if he makes any movement in any part of it, that piece will quickly fall off.

Then, as the entire body detached, it crumbled into pieces on the ground.

With a flick of his wrist, wisps of black energy shot out from the Fly Demon's body.

Cause and Effect, the Sword of Fortune, Blood Shining in the Night.

After separating from the body, Nemus's Sword of Fortune appeared more agile and more concealed.

He lurked within the soul of the 'Clown Demon' that had been modified by the Clown Demon.

He secretly injected a large amount of Blood Night's miniature sword energy into his body's blood.

And in this process, they communicate using a "self-agreement".

He briefly inhabited the body of this demon, using this as a causal link to drive the 'self-agreement'.

This is different from previous causes, tripartite agreements, or causal relationships with one's own timeline.

This use of "self-agreement" should be called "karma".

Still focusing on me, Nemus and this temporary parasite established a causal link.

If he is harmed, then Nemus can use this causal link to take revenge on the person who harmed 'me'.

It was precisely this causal connection that caused these miniature sword energies to take the life of the fly demon.

After collecting the Fly Demon's flesh, blood, and soul, Nemus also put away the jewelry and ornaments on his body.

These items are quite valuable, and many of them are magical items.

Many people in the abyss like these kinds of things; they're a kind of luxury that's not very practical.

It can be considered a kind of hard currency in the abyss.

Demons are also quite extravagant; many demons, after becoming official demons, immediately begin to seek out all sorts of luxury goods to adorn themselves.

The Fly Demon is the most prominent among them.

They were very fond of these things, and it is said that a fly demon messenger once secretly stole the treasure of the demon lord.

They even betrayed crucial information about the demon lord for the sake of treasure.

Such things are never lacking in the abyss.

The reason why most demons appear to be poor is not because they are content with poverty.

It's not that they didn't have the opportunity to become rich.

Of course, these luxurious magical items are of little use to a master like Nemus.

However, since it can be considered something from another dimension, it contains the aura of another dimension.

If we take it, we can also study some alchemy from other dimensions.

While Nemes was tidying up, the clown demon stood still and didn't dare to say anything.

Even if he managed to escape from that fly demon with all his might, he would still be considered quite talented.

However, Nemus was able to kill the fly so easily, and now he dared not run away, for if he did, he might just die here.

“It was the right thing not to run away. Fate was pushing you here. Even if you had run away, you would have come back again.” Nemus didn’t mean to hide anything.

The reason why the clown is so unlucky is largely because Nemus is interested in him and wants to subdue him.

Once this thought arises, "Destiny" begins to work.

Although the main body of this characteristic is in Saint Ne, there is a "self-agreement" that makes Nemus and the others' four identities—Demon, Sword Saint, Holy Son, and Angel A—interconnected.

It's perfectly normal to use all these features repeatedly.

The environment around Azure Whale is relatively stable now. Saint Nai has estimated that if she uses "Destiny," she might be able to obtain a lot of good things, but it would require a lot of luck.

In that case, we might as well focus our attention on the Abyss.

“Fate?!” The Clown Demon looked at Nemus, already having some guesses about Nemus’s identity.

Those high-ranking demons wouldn't have come to this place, which doesn't even have a town, for no reason.

There's a very high probability that they're looking for the demon right in front of them.

“That’s right.” Nemus looked at the other party, smiled, and handed over the flesh and blood of the Fly Demon in his hand: “Want to come and fight me? I’m planning to seize the position of Demon Lord.”

Intense elemental fluctuations came from not far away. The Clown King had sensed that another high-ranking demon under his command had died, and his anger was undoubtedly directed at the other high-ranking demons.

Even so, Nems remained remarkably calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're just a hybrid demon, not even a high-ranking demon. How do you plan to become a demon lord?" Although the Clown Demon knew that Nemus could crush him at any moment, he remained calm and asked what he considered the crucial question.

"Pretty much, I'm ready for a promotion." Nems nodded.

"Gather enough flesh and soul, and understand the nature of a normal soul. Accept the abnormal number, and transform the sin of the world."

"I have no lack of flesh and blood or soul; I already have a normal soul."

"I have almost finished investigating the sins of the world."

"So there's only one thing missing—the number of anomalies," Nemus said. "That's the key to the advancement of the alien demon."

"Next, I'll try to see if I can extract the abnormal numbers."

"How about it, want to join us? Maybe you can become a different kind of demon through this."

Nemus questioned the Clown Demon.

During this period, he had basically figured out the method for advancement of alien demons. He had previously used tens of thousands of demons as consultation fees and confirmed it with the will of the abyss.

The method for achieving the ascension of the alien demon has now been basically determined.

"To become a different kind of demon?" The Clown Demon shook his head after mentioning the different kind of demon, but followed behind Nemus: "I need to assess your potential for advancement."

"If you lack potential, I'll find a chance to run away immediately."

The Clown Demon bluntly stated that although he was afraid Nemes would kill him, he also had his 'bottom line'.

"Suit yourself." Nemus nodded, having barely managed to subdue the clown demon for the moment.

"Then don't resist..."

The clown demon was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

The two of them then vanished from the spot.

Then, the place where they were standing instantly turned into a white expanse.

A giant baboon demon appeared not far away, a ball of white light flashing in its hand before vanishing.

"Escaped again?" This time, the baboon demon didn't hold back.

If they test them on small matters, the Clown King won't kill them with war about to begin.

However, if the Clown King gets angry, continuing to provoke him is tantamount to suicide.

Chapter 409 Virtual Godhood, Virtual Truth!

At this moment, inside the Absurd Castle on the Absurd Plains, the Clown King did not outwardly display the same fury as those high-ranking demons.

After half an hour of those high-ranking demons failing to capture Nemus, he realized something was wrong and decisively changed his strategy.

Although there may be some losses now, if you operate well, you might even be able to make some money.

"It just so happens to be at this point in time... otherwise I wouldn't have sold all these people out at once." The Clown King thought, his eyes filled with cold hatred for Nemus.

By this time, the Clown King had gathered almost all the information about Nemus in the Abyss.

And an impression of Nems has already emerged.

A different kind of demon that appeared four years ago.

The growth rate is astonishingly fast.

Although demons can grow in value very quickly through blood sacrifice and other means, as long as there are enough resources.

However, compared to Nemes, it seems not so fast.

In three years, it increased from an initial value of ten to the maximum value.

It might not even have been three years; Nemus also spent several months searching for information and ways to leave the Abyss and travel to the material plane.

The advancement of a formal demon is extremely difficult in the abyss; otherwise, he wouldn't have so few high-ranking demons under his command.

So at that time he became interested in Nemus and was just about to meet this alien demon when Nemus suddenly left.
