Devil's Bible

Chapter 121 Agreement Link (Chapter 22: Seeking First Subscriptions!!)
Last night, Booker lost a hand, but thanks to his familiarity with the terrain of the South District, he successfully escaped from the pursuit of Gabriel, Brent, Galen, and others.

He then found an opportunity to return to the clock tower and carefully informed Fass that Al had betrayed them and attracted the paladins.

Phos's eyes immediately turned red.

However, what reassured Booker somewhat was that Phos did not hold a grudge.

Perhaps because he saw that Booker's arm was broken, he did not blame Booker.

He had simply experienced a mental outburst, which caused him to knock over some things around him before he fell into a coma.

Phos woke up at noon that day.

Becky calmed him down, then was surprised to find that Phos didn't seem to feel much regret.

Or rather, Phos was more regretful that he wasn't talented enough to quickly master mental power.

If that were the case, I could have gone to save my family back then, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.

“You’re relatively clear-headed.” Becky looked at Fass with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

“Because I know the situation at the bottom.” Fas shook his head and said, “My father was also a laborer, but after more than ten years of working there, his body was almost broken down.”

"My mother is the same; she has worked hard all year round, and she doesn't have much time left either."

"If no changes can be made, then it's simply a matter of dying sooner or later."

"I just feel sorry for my younger brother and sister."

Although no one has ever statistically analyzed the average lifespan of people in the southern region, we can get a general idea.

That is, there are many elderly people but few elderly people.

There are few truly elderly people, while there are many because most people are already quite old by the time they reach forty.

Most people don't even have time to grow old before they die from various forms of strenuous physical labor.

Phos understood all of this, which is why he chose to seize every opportunity to change things at the crucial moment, and why he acted so enthusiastically when Booker founded the Black Star Gang, because that was indeed very likely his only chance in his life.

"The reason this situation has arisen is simply because of my lack of ability, not because my choices were wrong." Fass's thinking remained relatively clear, even without acting impulsively.

If he hadn't chosen to join the fictitious agreement, his family would have missed their chance and died in endless toil.

By choosing to join, he actually has the potential to rise from the quagmire of the South District.

“Very good, the fact that you have this idea means that you do fit into our fictional agreement.” Before Becky could speak, a person exuding an evil aura appeared not far away, much to Fass’s surprise.

“Bishop Becky, let me take over his work,” Kru said. Becky nodded nonchalantly; he had a lot of research to do himself.

“You can call me the Twin Bishops.” Kru did not reveal his name in the fictional agreement, and even his appearance was somewhat disguised.

“The Twin Bishops.” Fass didn’t know why he was being valued, but he knew that this might be the best opportunity of his life, a chance to change his destiny!

“I was originally planning to tell you after a while.” Kru was very satisfied with Phos’s attitude. If Phos had complained after waking up, it would have made Kru unhappy.

"But I like your current attitude, and I think that this is the only way you can unleash more of your potential."

Meeting Phos's slightly puzzled gaze, Kru said, "I have rescued your family and they are being settled in another place."

“You can go and investigate their situation now, but I suggest you don’t contact your family too frequently in the future,” Kru said, looking at the other person.

Phos's pupils dilated, and a look of joy quickly spread across his face. However, he soon suppressed this joy and continued listening to what Kru would say next. "We will temporarily use you as a figurehead. The power you acquire will be the best facade for the fictitious agreement to the outside world."

"So, you might be the one being watched more than you think."

“I understand, Gemini.” Fass immediately understood the risks and benefits of this matter.

Becoming a brand signifies addressing the various issues that will follow.

This also means that Fass will receive the best training.

Whether it's worth it or not, only Fass himself can probably judge.

Therefore, he agreed without any hesitation.

Phos understood the limits of his abilities. He lacked knowledge and skills, and while his mind was clear, it wasn't particularly calm. His only commendable quality was his self-awareness.

In this situation, a strong external force is required to propel one to rapid improvement.

The fictitious agreement is this powerful external force.

"Now you can go out and take revenge," Krue said after observing Phos's mental state.

"After this incident, your mental strength has actually calmed down... no, it should be said that you have slightly adapted to the berserk state." Kru felt very strange.

Other spiritual spellcasters seek peace of mind and soul in order to enhance their control.

Phos, who activated his mental power through the berserk accessory, already had a restless mental state. However, after Phos went berserk once, this mental turmoil and mental agitation reached a strange balance.

As a result, Phos's control over mental power was enhanced.

"I have this strange feeling that two negatives make a positive."

"You will win no matter what."

“But it would be best if you could also show your own skills in this battle.” As Kru spoke, his body turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving only his voice echoing in the same spot.

Phos slowly stood up, and then felt a connection being established.

He could even vaguely sense another power waiting for him somewhere.

“After you signed the fictitious agreement, we were all in the same web. The concept of multiple identities is not just a figure of speech.” These were Becky’s exact words after he completed the modification.

However, he had never perceived the so-called network before, nor did he feel that he was really one of the many beings in the network.

until now.

The feeling of becoming one of the ends, able to connect with others, was clearer than ever before, which made him realize his difference.

"Is this the source of my confidence that I will win no matter what?" Phos could feel the immense power connected to the other end. Even if he only used a small portion of it, it would be countless times stronger than he was now.

With this confidence and the determination to win no matter what, Phos found Booker, who had just finished treatment and was getting used to his new arm.

After seeing Fass, Booker understood what he needed to do next.

Regardless, after suffering such a loss, they were determined to retaliate.

　There will be two more updates at 8 PM.
