Devil's Bible

Chapter 158 Breaking Defense
"Phoss, let me see what you can do." Nemus's gaze seemed to be able to see through all distances, accurately detecting the changes in Phoss.

The Berserk Accessories were merely a byproduct of Nemus's research on Soul Accessories, resulting from the reaction between the soul and faith.

Although Nemus managed to complete the soul component, making it a superficial faith processing device, it was still not enough.

Nemus's true purpose was to complete the divine status.

This requires a lot of specialized knowledge.

Theology is a field of study that is basically only known to gods. Although Nemus has a fragmented divine personality to observe, it would be too difficult for him to understand it by himself.

Necessary experiments must be conducted.

"Currently, the function of the components is too singular, and the internal constraints are insufficient, making it difficult to truly address the issue of faith. Therefore, we need to move from single components to the collaborative work of multiple components to form a complete unit."

The sealing technique that Isabella obtained from the Tribunal is now in the hands of Nemus.

Sealing techniques, like alchemy, are generally considered to be technologies with extremely high potential.

Often, powerful individuals are difficult to deal with and are ultimately eliminated by sealing techniques.

Alchemy seeks power from the outside, utilizing intermediaries that connect various planes such as the ether and the astral plane to coordinate movements between the lower and upper realms.

Sealing techniques primarily seek power internally and utilize external forces to interfere, making it difficult for the target to exert force and entering a state of internal struggle between the left and right hemispheres.

It's like some special knots in a rope. Once it's tied, the harder you pull or struggle to break free, the tighter the knot becomes.

Within the soul accessory, Nemus used sealing magic to constrain the soul's structure and implanted a corresponding mechanism. Whenever faith enters, the impure thoughts within will resonate with the desires within the soul accessory.

Then, through this resonance, an accurate judgment is made on what precepts should be implanted into the divine personality to purify distracting thoughts.

It has the functionality, but its efficiency and stability are insufficient.

Sometimes, the handling of faith in the soul accessories can even get stuck.

Because desires are not omnipotent; some distracting thoughts are too perverse and do not elicit a full response from conventional desires.

At this point, the rampaging accessories come in handy, no longer restraining the soul within, but allowing it to participate in the reaction to a certain extent.

The berserk parts, which have been infused with faith, cannot handle the power of faith, but they can interfere with it.

Therefore, the combined operation of the Soul Accessory and the Berserk Accessory is necessary.

However, these two things are essentially the same, and when they are put together, they are likely to produce all sorts of reactions.

All of this relevant data needs to be collected in order to actually complete the production.

This final scene is a perfect opportunity to let Phos take a gamble and see if he can achieve his own transcendence.

Nemus was looking forward to Phos's transformation.

And Phos certainly did not disappoint Nems.

He withstood at least the first wave of changes.

As soon as the soul component entered his body, it immediately began to function.

Unlike Nemes, who uses soul components to process the power of faith.

Phos uses soul accessories to regulate his own spiritual power.

The spirit of symbiotic coexistence contains too many impurities.

Soul components are auxiliary tools for Nemus, whose main focus is the damaged divine essence, but for Phos, they can become a treasure for stabilizing spiritual power.

Thanks to the high resonance between Phos and the berserk accessory, the berserk accessory did not react much after the soul accessory also entered its body, and is currently still under Phos's control. Phos slowly turned around and looked at Al, who had hidden to the side.

"Al, do you think you're bad, or just stupid?" Phos asked.

The content of the question left Al stunned.

"At a crucial moment, you disturbed me without any regard for my safety."

"If I didn't have some skills, I might have already died in that attack," Phos said.

“No, Phos, I just…” Al paused when he got to the reason, then said in a somewhat hesitant tone, “I just wanted to save you.”

"I don't want you to continue making mistakes."

"So where did I go wrong?" Phos's smiling face instantly fell, and the black energy around his body turned into wisps that drilled into the alchemical arm guards on his arms, causing small steel beads to float up.

“Of course we must stop colluding with cults like the Fictitious Agreement!” Al said earnestly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Yes, that's why I'm making a move against the leader of the fictitious agreement. Why did you make a noise and interrupt my actions?" Phos asked, seemingly puzzled.

“This…” Al was speechless once again.

“You observed the situation, but you didn’t think about it. If you didn’t think that much, then you’re stupid.” Fas gave Al no way out and immediately added.

"If you've thought all this through, yet still instinctively try to stop me, then you're the bad one."

"You keep saying you want to redeem me, but you can't stand to see me redeem myself!"

“You can’t stand to see me doing well. I’m only fit to be someone who craves your salvation, but you don’t care at all whether I need your salvation.”

Phos's words pierced Al's heart like a sharp blade.

"You're hopeless!" Al finally got angry. He felt that all his efforts had been betrayed by Fass, and that everything he had was being insulted.

Most importantly, there was a kind of panic that he couldn't quite explain.

That extraordinary anger propelled Al's actions.

"Even if I break your limbs, I will take you back to face judgment, atone for your sins, and bring you redemption!!!" Al roared, and with the roar came the arrows he fired.

Elf Secret Technique: Gale Arrow!
A raging wind carried the arrows toward Phos.

Seeing this, Fas smiled, knowing that Al had broken through his defenses.

No matter what he had done before, Al would never have said that he was beyond redemption, but this time, when he turned the blame on Al himself, Al could no longer stand it.

Layers of steel balls flew up, resonating with each other to form a protective barrier.

The alchemical shield that Nemus learned in a few moments took Phos months of practice, and only with the help of symbiotic relationships could he barely complete it.

But it's worth it.

Sharp arrows landed on the barrier, propelled forward by a strong wind.

The wooden shaft behind the arrow quickly shattered upon impact.

Only a single steel arrow remained, spinning and advancing along the shield.

However, at this moment, Phos has already shifted.

Beneath its swaying body, more steel balls were launched.
