Devil's Bible

Chapter 328 Changes in Mental Power
Nems's faith is a faith in himself.

This kind of belief is certainly not in sync with the belief in the God of Commandments.

Fortunately, Nemus possessed the divine status of the God of Discipline.

Previously, Nemus had been able to steal the power of faith from the God of Discipline by taking advantage of his limited research on divinity.

It's just that petty theft on the street has now escalated to burglary.

With the slight incorporation of divinity, the original self-belief was given a layer of disguise.

Nemes calls this current disguised belief a fictitious belief.

Using a fictional faith as a key, Nemus successfully opened the grid portal of the God of Discipline.

Of course, Nemus did not arbitrarily extract the power of faith, nor did he intend to add information to his mental power and then try to send a signal out.

Grids have a strong recording capability.

Normally, when a priest connects to a grid, whether to deliver or release a message, it will be detected, and the location of the connection can even be determined, down to the size of a house.

In alert mode, the nodes of the grid will even actively observe the surrounding situation and record some information.

At this moment, Nemes suddenly connected to the grid as an unfamiliar signal.

If no one checks, it's fine, but once someone checks the grid, they'll immediately find the room where Nems is.

Then things will become somewhat inexplicable.

So Nems waited.

Soon, even in the middle of the night, in a large city like Qiquan City with a million inhabitants and thousands of priests, there would always be someone who would perform divine magic.

The instant the divine signal passed through, Nemus simulated it and then drew upon a portion of faith power through those signals.

During this process, Nemus even made a rough judgment based on the other party's mental signals.

"In the middle of the night, casting an invigorating spell..." Nemus's spirit was instantly withdrawn, and his faith power had already been taken out of the grid.

At this moment, in a residence in Qiquan City, a priest was casting a divine spell, but he felt that the pressure of casting the spell this time was much greater than he had imagined.

"Hmm? Never mind!" Overwhelmed with excitement, the priest immediately put aside his doubts.

Meanwhile, Nemus looked at the power of faith in his hand, and then a divine spell appeared.

An invisible shield appeared around Nemus. Any physical object that touched this invisible shield would immediately activate the energy within it.

Divine Art: Holy Fire!

With a slight activation of the mental structure within the divine spell, the entire spell transformed directly from an invisible shield into white flames.

Looking at the dancing flames in his hand, Nemus evaluated his spellcasting performance.

"It's too rough."

“If the one who cast the divine spell this time is a senior priest, then my act of stealing faith will be discovered.”

“In this process, I should be more discreet, only intercepting signals and then making sufficient disguises so that the person involved will not discover their problem.”

"In this way, only when enough people are investigated together and their personal files are reviewed can traces of my theft be discovered."

Nemes recalled his experience of examining the personal files of many pastors.

Gradually, he developed more ideas about how to steal divine magic.

It can only be said that Nems' identity provided him with great convenience.

These things, which originally belonged to the church's secrets, were something Nemus could obtain at will.

The sacred fire in his hand dissipated.

Nemus stopped casting spells and began to summarize the spellcasting process.

Mental spellcasting is fundamentally different from sword spellcasting. Understanding these differences is crucial for better comprehending and utilizing the unique characteristics of each.

"It is indeed more difficult for steel-type spellcasters to acquire special characteristics compared to life-type practitioners."

When Nemus practiced the Breath of Luck, the value of 80 had already condensed the characteristic 'Luck' into his life form.

However, even now, the Meditation Technique has reached a value of 80, but no special properties have been formed.

"Success and failure both stem from agility."

The ability to project and manipulate mental energy is a significant advantage, making spellcasting far more efficient than swordsmanship.

Even if the Sword of Fortune makes up for this to some extent, it is only at the lower to middle level. The spells are still more flexible and the multiplier is stronger.

When ordinary people and geniuses wield the Sword of Fortune, the multiplier is limited to 1.5 to 3 times, which is comparable to that of ordinary spellcasters and minor geniuses.

Nemus can increase the multiplier of the Sword of Fortune to about 5 to 6 times.

Back then, Isabella's stats were only around 50 or 60, but the composite divine spell she unleashed was able to threaten Nemus to a certain extent, making it impossible for Nemus to deal with it directly.

At that time, Nemus had a stat of 2. Even with his swordsmanship and spellcasting skills sealed, his pure swordsmanship could still reach about twice that amount.

In other words, Isabella's attack value at that time was also around 600 or more.

Even if Isabella is a super genius, the fact that her composite spells reach a limit of about ten times is still terrifying.

However, the high-magnification agile spiritual power also makes it more difficult to attach traits, let alone form characteristics.

After reaching the Steel Seed realm, one must constantly use a certain type of magic to have any chance of imbuing one's mental energy with the characteristics of that type of magic.

Only then can one claim to be proficient in a certain spell.

Aside from bloodline, most priests only begin to acquire these traits once they reach the Gold rank.

In other words, most priests may never know what a trait feels like until they die.

"The values ​​all increased at the same rate."

"The spellcaster has the advantage in skill."

"The life side may have an advantage in terms of characteristics."

"However, those at the bottom level struggle to even increase their numerical value, and most lack the ability to possess special characteristics, so overall, mages are still considered more noble."

Nemes carefully considered the differences.

These differences are the key to dual cultivation of Dharma and Body. If one cannot find a way to balance them, then even if Nemus cultivates himself to the extreme with Dharma and Body techniques and meets the advancement standards, it will be useless.

Nemus is aiming for a perfect score of 100 in both physical and magical attributes, and 100 in both physical and magical attributes.

"And this part of my soul also has some strange aspects." Nemus mobilized his own spirit and found that his spiritual light had very little influence on the number.

His soul was derived from his original soul through the activation of new life.

That's why this body is able to cultivate both physical and spiritual aspects.

"Perhaps only by understanding the soul within the body of the Holy Son can I understand the secrets of my alien soul."

To understand the posture of a normal soul is a requirement for the advancement of a heretical demon.

To understand what is normal, one must understand what is abnormal.

There is currently virtually no research direction for Nemus's true spirit; it is even more difficult to study than divinity in some respects.

He couldn't help but think of another alien demon—the Realm of Aro.

The other person's soul has two chambers that can hold other souls folded together.

Perhaps I can start from here.
