Devil's Bible

What is the relationship between mythical species and deities? Why are some mythical species just mythical species, while others can become true gods and be recognized by other deities?

Is the number of divine attributes the key to mythology or to the gods?

A variety of questions filled Nemus's mind.

He was exceptionally clear that he must never be arrogant.

Once someone becomes too arrogant, all that awaits them is utter destruction.

He had never witnessed the true power of the mythical species.

Or even if the gods were to actually fight in front of him, the most likely scenario would be that he wouldn't understand it.

The same was true during the War of the Abyss.

The abyss's will noticed the abnormality in his soul, so it secretly transmitted a power into Nemus's soul, indicating its willingness to help him escape, provided Nemus cooperated.

Nems had no choice but to sign the contract directly.

Nemus then used his identity as a prayer angel to fight against various demons.

He could occasionally sense the turbulence of the elements and things around him, but he didn't know exactly what was happening.

Until some force overpowered him, using himself as a medium to perform something.

Meanwhile, he, who had been preparing all along, used bimodal coordination to alter the movements of the Prayer Angel's body.

The previously smooth flow of power suddenly encountered a slight problem.

Then came the roar and terrifying divine power.

Before Nems could even faint, he saw the sky split open.

A large amount of golden blood flowed down like a waterfall, followed by some special substances flowing along with the divine blood.

Nemus was bold yet meticulous. He sensed the attraction that thing had to his soul, grabbed it, and the thing followed his movement directly into his soul, which was now the number of divine attributes.

Then Nemus was pulled by the force of the contract and headed to the depths of the abyss.

You could say Nems experienced a divine war, or you could say he didn't.

In the war of gods, even a prayer angel with a stat total of 1,000 is nothing more than a pawn.

After such a high-level battle occurred, even if Nemus was nearby, he wouldn't know what had happened.

All he knew was that the will of the abyss had used him to outmaneuver the God of Discipline and achieve final victory.

"I wonder if we can get some more investment from the Will of the Abyss," Nemus couldn't help but think.

Although the will of the abyss is chaotic, manic, ferocious, and murderous, it is undeniable that it is a good 'mother'.

As long as you strive to kill and acquire more souls and flesh, the will of the abyss will open the door to evolution for you.

In the human realm, the gold level is the limit that a normal life form can reach.

However, in the Abyss, high-ranking demons comparable to the Gold-ranked are not the end; above them are demon lords and demon princes.

Similarly, these two ranks were also achieved through killing.

To be precise, what is being killed is no longer life, but a plane.

Legend has it that long ago, a demon lord destroyed a plane, causing it to collapse and sink into the abyss, thus ascending to the rank of demon prince.

Of course, it's hard to know how much truth or falsehood there is in these rumors.

However, in terms of the promotion mechanism, the Abyss doesn't have that many messy things; the Abyss's will treats all demons equally.

If you're willing to follow the rules of the Abyss, then I'll help you advance.

The Abyss's will must be aware that Nemus has obtained the number of divine attributes.

Since the God of Discipline inexplicably went to the Abyss to start a war, he must have had a conflict with the Abyss.

He has now become the biggest weakness of the God of Discipline, and perhaps he can find an opportunity to gain some support from the Abyss.

While Nemes was contemplating developments, the three people who had entered Nanping Town also noticed something amiss there.

"Was Nanping Town like this when we came here?" Agnelli frowned as he looked around.

He sensed that something was very wrong.

When I arrived today, the church was in the very center, surrounded by roads built to facilitate the transport of grain.

However, when they came out now, they found that the church was located in the north of the town and its style had changed.

At the same time, the surrounding houses also seem to have changed, becoming very densely packed.

"Is this still Nanping?" Aimeru clenched her hands, her eyes darting around as she cast a purification spell on herself.

However, the results were not ideal.

Phaethon still had some tricks up his sleeve.

He rarely casts his dream spells directly at the target, but instead cultivates followers in the surrounding area beforehand and implants dream spells into their minds.

When necessary, use these people as a medium, then cover the surrounding environment with dreams, and then guide more dreams in.

During this process, the giant spider seizes the opportunity to modify some memories, making these people unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

If Nemus weren't a multi-faceted being with other souls who could share memories at any time, he might have fallen victim to this.

This demonstrates just how powerful the combination of Phaethon's dream magic and the Mystic Giant Spider was.

Phaethon had a profound understanding of the changes in people's mental state, and he could use various small changes to make people increasingly uneasy and tense.

If they are so stressed that their will breaks down, they will become toys in their dreams that they can be manipulated at will.

Agnelli was the first to succumb to this atmosphere.

He drew his sword, went to an open space, looked at the dark clouds, and shouted angrily:

"Nems, I know it's you. If you've got the guts, come out and fight us."

"I apologize for what happened back then, but it had nothing to do with Aimelu."

"Come and fight me head-on and kill me!" Agnelli's long golden hair flew wildly, and he became extremely angry out of fear.

He looked around, waiting for Nems to appear.

However, there was no response.

Agnelli turned around in frustration, wanting to look for Emerald, but found that Emerald seemed to have seen something and paused in that direction.

Agnelli quickly came to Emerald's side and found that the direction was a somewhat familiar path.

Looking at that familiar road, Aimee and Agnelli had different expressions.

Because they recognized it as the secret path Nemus had taken to rescue those children years ago.

"It seems he wants me to recall those unpleasant things." Agnelli was prepared, but at this moment he realized something was wrong.

On the day Nemes went to rescue the children, only he and Moritorus accompanied Nemes.

But Aimelu was not there.

So, why?

Agnelli suddenly looked at Emerald.

Why does she know this road?

Chapter 308 How Hard I Tried

Meeting Agnelli's incredulous gaze, the warm and generous smile on Aimelu's face vanished.

Her hands were clenched tightly, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

She was always very careful.

Whether it's coming to this Azure Whale or betraying Nemus back then.

However, she was not entirely heartless, and under various mental pressures, she eventually revealed her weaknesses.

She knew that Nemes was watching them from the shadows.

Therefore, when he saw the road showing signs of abnormality, he was already exposed, and there was no need for further disguise.

Or rather, Nems had already suspected him, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly left such a path behind him to test him.

Ignoring Agnelli, Emerald frowned and walked toward that road.

Agnelli's expression changed several times before he followed behind with Moriturus.

As expected, Aimelu was extremely familiar with this.

She knew all the different paths and soon arrived at the place where she had besieged Nems.

At that moment, Nemes was standing here, holding a flower in his hand and admiring it.

"Nemus!" Emerald had completely lost her usual demeanor; her entire image seemed to have changed.

How much do you know?

“All of them.” Nems released the flowers from his hand, his eyes seemingly devoid of hatred for the three traitors.

There were even smiles on their faces, as if they were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Although my proposal was radical, I did not take any extreme actions. Logically speaking, I would most likely be locked up in the confessional department."

"However, they acted immediately, and that's when I knew I had exposed something deadly."

"And among the people who have access to these things, you are the prime suspect."

Nemes wants to change the world, so he needs a plan.

Although his understanding was flawed and he failed to adapt to the current world, he was not brainless. His proposal for reform was merely a preliminary test.

He might be suppressed or imprisoned in the Department of Repentance, but he believed that once he was promoted to the Golden Seed, those suppressions would disappear.

So while testing the church's attitude toward reform, he was also secretly cultivating talent and preparing to establish factions, etc.

These tasks are very secretive and virtually unknown to outsiders; even Agnellimus took precautions against them.

"Only you... I was truly fooled by your disguise."

Aimelu is kind, warm, and generous. She always exudes youthful energy when you're with her.

At the same time, she is thoughtful and understanding. She can understand some of Nemus's thoughts, comfort him when he is sad, and stand firmly by his side when he needs support.

All I could see was Naimus.

Nemus naturally wanted to develop Amélu into a like-minded companion, someone he could support each other on the journey of changing the world together.

Yet this very person, at the most crucial moment, took all of Nems's secret preparations and plans and reported them to the authorities.

She also informed the Nemes Church that they had captured a group of highly gifted children in this area, urging Nemes to rush to their rescue.

She then sought help from the faction advocating for peace and stability.

At that time, Nemus didn't think much of it, and like Agnelli, he even thought that Emerald really hadn't been involved in betraying him.

On the contrary, after she pleaded for Naim, she chose to remain silent due to pressure, which Naim considered to be the right thing to do.

But the more Nemus thought about it, the more he realized something was wrong.

Although there is no evidence, Nemes, based on his understanding of human nature, has guessed almost everything.

"No, it's all your fault!" Emerald glared fiercely at Nemus, roaring like a madwoman, "Do you think you're so great?"

"You want to change the world, change social classes, and give more opportunities to those who are like mud!"

"They don't deserve it!!"

"I come from humble beginnings. Do you know how much effort I've put in to change my future?"

“I know what kind of people people like, I know what kind of people you like, so I almost thought I was that kind of person.”

"You want to be a hero? Fine, I'll cooperate and become your hero's ally."

"But why do you give those opportunities to those worthless people? They don't work as hard as I do, they don't deserve them at all!"

"By doing this, you will only offend the nobles, offend the church, ruin your own future, and drag me down with you."

"You almost ruined all my efforts and now nobody wants me, except for that idiot following me around!" Aimelu's face became ferocious and ugly.

Her words caused Agnelli, who was following behind, to have a distorted expression.
