Devil's Bible

Chapter 301 Seeking the God, Phaethon
It can be said that the abilities of the Mystic Giant Spider have evolved from interfering with memory to, to a certain extent, interfering with existence itself.

However, the venom of the Mystic Giant Spider is not so effective against individuals with strong mental fortitude and willpower.

At most, this venom will cause the target to become disoriented and thus somewhat forgetful.

Therefore, at this time, the giant spider had another method, which was to spin a cocoon.

A mixture of memories is woven into threads to wrap the target.

People from outside the group will gradually lose their memory of the target.

It can penetrate into a person's body and begin to digest the target's memories from the inside.

During this process, the giant spider can even impersonate the original owner, suppress the original owner's self-awareness, and then use his memories to live a normal life.

"The clergyman who received us had a large spider inside his body."

"That big spider also tried to crawl into my body, but I am quite resilient, so it failed and tied me up with its thread." Sanwu explained his experience in a few words.

"I understand. Be careful." Nems nodded.

The Mystic Giant Spider is a dangerous creature, similar to the Nest Beast.

However, the danger level of this thing is many times higher.

After it first appeared, it was besieged by various churches.

As a result, the Giant Spiders of the Secret Path are almost extinct. If one or two are occasionally discovered, they will immediately attract the attention of powerful members of the church to eliminate them.

This thing is only so-so for the strong, but it is a huge disaster for ordinary people.

With Sanwu's abilities, a mere giant spider shouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

However, the key point is that this mysterious giant spider also has a dream sorcerer working in its place, which makes the difficulty of dealing with both of them increase dramatically.

Dreams have a strong suppressive effect on an individual's consciousness.

Personal memory can be greatly impaired during dreams. In the hazy state between dreams, one may forget the beginning of the dream and gradually forget its content upon waking.

It is this dream-related ability, combined with the mysterious giant spider, that creates the eerie atmosphere of Zhongping Town.

If a person lacks sufficient strength, they will gradually lose their memories in their dreams.

At the same time, his memories were interfered with by the giant spider, and he sank further into a dream.

"I must say, the teamwork was quite good." Nemus's will was firm, and the golden light around him grew even stronger.

Dream sorcerers are extremely mysterious; they can even summon things from dreams into reality to a certain extent, or gradually transform reality into a dream realm, giving reality a certain degree of dream-like characteristics.

However, the reason why dream sorcerers did not become mainstream is because dreams are too fragile.

Dreams have three fatal characteristics: they are ownerless, fragile, and complex.

The concept of fragility is relatively easy to understand. Once a person realizes that they are in a dream, the effectiveness of the dream will quickly diminish, and the impact of the dream will also decrease rapidly.

The same applies to complexity. Because dreams need to gather the dreams of many people, everything in a dream is very complicated, and there may be things that the dream sorcerer does not want to appear.

For example, in a dream, the person who was originally trapped inside is already mentally exhausted and is about to be captured by the dream.

Then, in the dream, a warehouse full of spell scrolls was discovered.

With ample firepower, things naturally slipped out of the dream sorcerer's control.

As for being unclaimed, that's the most fatal flaw.

Once the dream unfolds, the dream sorcerer is just one of its many members, only more familiar with the changes within it and possessing certain privileges.

If other people have sufficient mental willpower, they can also 'dream' in turn, thereby actively interfering with the changes in their dreams.

The golden light emanating from Nemus is actually Nemus 'dreaming'. In reality, he needs external preparation and stimulation to awaken his sainthood.

However, he doesn't need that in his dreams.

Just follow your own understanding; with firm belief and real-world capabilities, you can replicate your dreams.

This is why dream sorcerers are not popular.

They can mow down large areas of weaker individuals, but when facing skilled opponents, they find themselves powerless to fight back.

Even the dreams you painstakingly construct can become an asset to your enemies.

The dream sorcerer in question is like that. Although he has the help of the Mystic Giant Spider, he has almost completely filled in the critical problems of the dream.

However, when facing top-tier experts, his dream was still no match.

The golden light grew stronger and stronger, then pierced through the oppressive dark clouds, tearing away all the gloom.

The once gloomy and eerie Zhongping Town immediately returned to normal.

The lights came on.

The church that had collapsed still stands firmly in its original location.

Many people in the surrounding houses also woke up from their dreams. They also realized that something was wrong. Now that they had escaped from the nightmare, Zhongping Town suddenly became lively at night.

Nemes, carrying his sword, then found the clergyman who had received them earlier that day.

At this moment, the clergyman was hanging loosely on a tree in the churchyard.

He felt like a deflated balloon.

Many clergy members chased after the scene, and they all felt distressed upon witnessing it.

However, after asking around, it was discovered that most of them had even forgotten his name.

This means that it was only a hair's breadth away from completely erasing all memories of this clergyman.

“The Secret Traveling Giant Spider isn’t so easy to find,” Nemus sighed. “Although those giant spiders are enormous, they are incredibly agile, and they can devour the memories of their own existence, thus achieving a state of invisibility within those memories.”

"With the help of a dream sorcerer, finding them will be extremely difficult." Nemus shook his head, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.

In reality, he cannot use his sainthood at will, making it quite difficult to capture that dream sorcerer.

Of course, it's just a little difficult.

Meanwhile, the dream sorcerer was also fleeing at full speed.

Beneath him, an eight-legged giant spider slithered swiftly, carrying him rapidly across the wheat field into the distance.

Fahrenheit felt the city receding into the distance and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He had never been this disheveled since acquiring the Mystic Giant Spider.

He still feels terrified just thinking about that terrifying golden light.

It was as if he would die if he touched even the slightest bit of it, a feeling that still makes his hands tremble to this day.

"But why is this happening? According to the dream's revelation, I should be able to meet my god as long as I complete the dream's arrangement in Zhongping Town!"

Phaethon couldn't understand it; he had received a revelation from a dream a year earlier.

God was nearby, so he believed he had received a divine gift and frantically searched for more miracles in his dreams, and he actually found some.

The key point is: fiction!
