However, when needed, this black mist can condense into a body.

However, this body looked very strange.

From a distance, it appears to be human-shaped.

However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that the entire body was shrouded in mist.

Even with careful investigation, it's like looking at flowers through a fog—you can't see clearly at all.

But in reality, there was no fog, and Nemes was indeed there.

If I had to put it into words, it would be—indescribable.

It looks like a human shape, and it does seem to be human shape, but in reality, it cannot condense into a human shape according to normal understanding.

This was while looking at Nems.

Without watching Nems, even a mental scan wouldn't be able to sense Nems's presence.

Seeing this, Nemus further condensed, and a large amount of black energy surged, quickly transforming into a human form that could be clearly seen.

However, this appearance was merely a disguise created by Nemus using his own power; he was simply putting on a human skin.

In reality, Nems was either that indescribable, blurry figure, or a speck of sparks within a thick black fog.

With a swift movement, he grabbed a demon who was trying to escape.

This demon was a proper demon, with a power level of around 60 or 70, but at this moment, Nemus was lifting it up like a chick.

Before the other person could speak, Nemus grabbed their head and crushed it.

The shattered souls then flowed out and were collected by Nemus.

"Still the same old awful thing." Nems hadn't seen any news and didn't care.

Then he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the three bodies that were still in the material plane, following the connection.

Because of the causal "self-protocol" and Nemus's understanding of the power of fate.

Even though his physical body was in the abyss at this moment, he still had a deep connection with his three bodies.

Although it's no longer possible to directly transfer one's entire body through the bond of oath as before, it's still possible to share senses at all times.

When necessary, one can also use "self-protocol" to borrow power.

"It's quite convenient to summon people to the abyss using this connection," Nemus thought. "Perhaps I'll have time to visit other planes later."

The abyss is not only home to demons, but also to many visitors from other dimensions.

These visitors from other dimensions arrived in the abyss through various means.

Some came to pass through to other material planes, some came to seek some secret treasures that had been brought to the abyss, and some simply offended the church and could no longer survive in the material planes, so they had no choice but to come to the abyss.

Of course, most of these people don't stay for long.

The abyss is filled with the laws of evil.

Here, any act of killing or chaos will be met with a response from the abyss.

When accumulated to a certain degree, even normal humans will develop demonic characteristics and subsequently transform into demons.

These so-called visitors from other dimensions are mostly made of steel, and they are mostly very poor.

The material plane that Nemus is currently in is considered the prime material plane.

Although the land suffered a disaster, there were also a large number of floating whales and various churches providing protection.

Other material planes, perhaps smaller than a floating whale, are considered quite large if they have a population of a million.

Even the largest ones are hard to get very large; a population of around ten million would be considered a large material plane.

These material planes are also suffering now, their lands are also ravaged by disaster.

It's just not as severe as the prime material plane.

This generally means reduced land productivity, an increase in dangerous creatures, and occasional outbreaks of disasters and diseases.

At least people can still live on the land.

Everyone has their own way of living.

In essence, this material plane is not as rich in resources as the back of a floating whale.

The chances are extremely slim. If even one golden seed were to appear, they would be a legendary figure recorded in the annals of the plane's history.

Only under such circumstances would people from these material planes be so eager to smuggle themselves into the Abyss.

"In essence, from the perspective of people in the prime material plane, these visitors from other dimensions are simply people who have come from a remote corner to a poor and desolate place."

The Abyss is rich in knowledge but has few resources, yet it still offers more opportunities than ordinary material planes.

This has led to some people trying to take the opportunity to sneak onto the back of a whale in the Prime Material Plane.

Chapter 399

“These small material planes are perfect pastures for raising humans and acquiring faith.” Nemus recalled information about various material planes, but the most prominent one was the allure of the Abyss.

The Prime Material Plane is vast and boundless, while any other material plane that can be sunk into the abyss can immediately become a demon lord.

The material plane that sank down will become a new abyss level, shrouded in demonic laws.

For example, the 'Abyss 181st Floor' that Nemus currently belongs to is called the Absurd Plains.

This is a vast plain, with the soil mostly consisting of hard, yellowish-brown earth.

Almost no plants can grow on it, and the sky is filled with dark clouds that seem to never disperse.

Occasionally, acid rain can bleed some little devils dry.

In 181, on this barren land, there dwells a vast swathe of demons.

Apart from a few high-ranking demons who have established towns on this plain, there is only one main city left, called Absurd City.

The main city is the town of the local demon lord.

It is a gathering place for a large number of demons and visitors from other worlds.

The demon lord of this floor is named Clown King.

He is a demon lord who rose from the ranks of a clown demon.

The evolutionary paths of demons are incredibly diverse.

There are five or six common types of little devils.

And there are even more full-fledged demons that evolved from these lesser demons.

There are more than ten common types.

There are even more that are less common.

When a demon advances to a higher rank, some will transform into a new form, while others will choose to remain unchanged.

High-ranking demons include Flame Demons, Ice Demons, Earth-Splitting Demons, Illusion Demons, and Chain Soul Demons, among others.

This high-ranking demon race, whether born that way or evolved from other demons, is a high-ranking demon, equivalent to the Gold race.

The minimum value is one hundred.

However, there are also many other demon races, such as succubi, berserkers, shadow demons, and bewitching demons, which are common and legitimate demons.

These demons are born with a value of ten, and can naturally grow to a value of eighty or ninety.

When they are promoted to higher-ranking demons, they can choose not to change their race.

Firstly, demons themselves possess chaotic and unstable characteristics. Furthermore, they change races during advancement, making them even more unstable and potentially unable to complete the advancement.

Secondly, those who can advance to become formal demons must have a thorough grasp of their own characteristics and traits.

If the race changes at this time, and the Chaos trait kicks in, for example, a Shadow Fiend is promoted to Balrog, what should be done?

This is not impossible.

The Abyss is too chaotic, and it's almost certain that the Abyss's will is a show-off who stirs things up from time to time.

For example, a succubus, relying on her beauty, becomes a daily necessity for a demon lord. As a result, while being used, she gains the favor of the demon lord and is promoted to a high-ranking demon.

The result was an unusual filth demon, which most people would call the shit demon.

This left the succubus stunned on the spot.

Of course, the fact that the demon lord went berserk and accepted all comers was both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, it's a demon.

It's normal to have some quirks.

In short, in the Abyss, something is definitely abnormal to be considered normal.

The clown demon is a relatively uncommon type of formal demon.

The abyss is teeming with all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures, and you might even encounter new species just by going out for a stroll.

New varieties are not necessarily strong.

The fact that common demon races are still considered 'common' indicates that these demons have a relatively stable ecological niche in the Abyss.

The new species of demons are different. They may have some different powers, but they often find it difficult to compete with other demons. It's good if very few of them can grow up.

The clown demon is not a new species, but it is not common either.

Most are formal demons, and very few can become high-ranking demons, let alone demon lords.

The typical clown demon's signature ability is a spell-like ability: forced laughter.

A fairly decent control spell.

In addition, he also has abilities such as throwing knives and magic tricks.

They are not strong in direct combat, but are good at being unpredictable.

However, this is not surprising.

Anything can happen in the abyss.

Nemus had previously encountered a high-ranking demon formed from a coward.

The so-called "fear demon" is a very common type of minor demon.

Their evolutionary potential is insufficient, and most of them will remain in a state of fear forever until they die.

Once they are promoted, most of them will immediately abandon their identity as demons.

"Is there another military operation?" Nems had only been away from the 181st floor for less than two years.

Two years ago, the Clown King on the 181st floor summoned demons on a large scale and launched an attack on other floors, wanting to bring more floors under his control.

However, he clearly failed.

The 181-story building has not been expanded in the past two years, nor has it been combined or merged with other floors.

"Has the Clown King found another target in just two years?" One reason Nemus left the Abyss was that his stats had reached a maximum of 300.

At that time, developing divinity in the material plane would be the only way forward.

On the other hand, it was due to the Clown King's forced conscription.

The various battles that occur daily in the abyss, including small-scale wars, need no further mention.

It's nothing more than a new high-ranking demon rising up in some town and then challenging the old guard.

This battle will never stop.

However, large-scale wars at different levels have been relatively restrained.

After all, the demon lord already possesses a territory.

They all possess lord-level authority and are bound by the same Abyss Will, so under normal circumstances, their attacks cannot be broken.

Demons who can become demon lords are all unlikely to be fools.

If a fool becomes a demon lord, then it is even more terrifying.

This is because it at least means that the other party either has an absolute advantage in military strength or is supported by the will of the abyss.

In this situation, demon lords will only become more cautious in their military operations.
