Devil's Bible

Chapter 354 The Bird of Light

"Nems?!"

Dressed in black robes and with dark golden hair, Nemus approached from afar, looking like a demon king.

This aura was so strong that even Clement had to keep his eyes on Nemus and be wary of his next move.

“Clement? You’ve been scheming against me for so long, lying to me for so long, it’s not unreasonable for me to collect some interest, is it?” Nemes asked.

"How did you find out about this place?" Clement frowned, feeling that things were once again slipping out of his control.

His original plan was to support Ben, making Ben, the demon warlock, the scapegoat to attract attention.

Unexpectedly, the demon warlocks were wiped out by Nemus.

The situation kept changing, which led to a major problem.

The sudden emergence of Nemus, and the combined actions of the alien demon, the prayer angel, and the great knight in opposing the Holy Son, have attracted a great deal of attention.

This attention naturally attracted external forces, and the Blue Whale team dispatched several people.

As one of the church's high-ranking members, he was naturally aware of what happened in Nanping Town afterward—the Saint's Secret Curse!
Hey!
When Clement learned of this, he was momentarily stunned.

Others may not know the essence of the saint's secret incantation, but if it is put in a similar way, most people will know it—invoking divine intervention!
Saints inherit divine power and possess some of the qualities and strengths of gods.

Even if this portion is small, it still comes from God.

In this situation, praying for divine intervention can naturally summon the descent of a saint.

It was only to avoid the existence of the gods that it was changed to the secret incantation of the saints.

Clement hurriedly revised his plan, and had to personally disclose some information to lure Nemus, the Holy Son, and the bearer of the Holy Secret Spell to the eastern suburbs.

In Clement's conjecture, the best-case scenario would be Nemus and the Holy Son fighting to the death.

Finally, the Sage appeared and dealt with Nemus.

During this process, because Nemus was acting mysteriously, he even prepared a backup plan to make Lotus a scapegoat and suppress Nemus.

Of course, the same applies to saints.

The saint summoned by the Saint's Secret Incantation can only stay for a limited time.

Because it is essentially a replacement, this kind of saint, although his strength has not changed, is still subject to the possibility of being expelled.

Most importantly, after thinking about it, Clement realized that the appearance of a saint with a limited stay was actually advantageous to him.

By cooperating with the Demon Worshippers, they gained a lot of support in the early stages, but when the other side harvests the Azure Whale, they may be eaten up along with it.

At this point, the presence of a sage can create a collective deterrent.

Even the demon lord who was staring at the Azure Whale dared not act recklessly.

In terms of strength, the Demon Lord in the Abyss is comparable to a Saint.

However, if it's just a projection, it will be much less effective.

Even with the enhancement of a large-scale blood sacrifice, the projection of the Demon Lord is only about 80% as powerful as the original body, and because it is not in the Abyss, it lacks some of the Abyss privileges.

Therefore, in terms of strength, the demon projection is stronger than some veteran Gold Saints, such as Gotthard and Guilliman, but it is not to the point of overwhelming them.

The appearance of the saint will make the demon lord more cautious, so that he won't betray his important ally.

This was Clement's scheme.

However, Naims did not appear in the eastern suburbs; instead, he appeared behind him.

This means his plan has failed.

They will be unable to complete the established goals step by step, and various variables will arise throughout the process.

For example, instead of being delayed to the eastern suburbs, the Saint might have chased after Nemus to the church, and the sinful souls he wanted to obtain might have been taken away by the Saint directly. Things getting out of control was the last thing he wanted to see.

But since it has already happened, there's only one way left to go down this path.

"Let the war begin!"

The golden spiritual energy, like hot oil, pierced into all the surrounding elements.

The next moment, terrifying hallucinations enveloped everything.

This illusion and this spellcasting technique reminded Nemus of an old acquaintance—the old priest.

If my guess is correct, the old pastor who looks like he's about to die is very likely a disciple or descendant of the 'young man' in front of us.

From this point, we can roughly guess the outline of the matter.

Clement's research into the Son Project, and his inclusion of forbidden research within it, was not sudden, but inevitable.

He may have been an individual who came into contact with the Son of God program earlier than the old pastor.

However, due to his status as a Golden Seed Priest and the special state of his radiant transformation, he had no choice but to entrust these matters to the old priest.

This similarity proves everything at this moment.

The illusion covered everything around it, and it was very powerful.

The eerie forest combined with the cemetery environment instantly makes you feel like you've stepped into a horror story.

A series of terrifying clicking sounds came from the surroundings, and in the darkness, some glowing green eyes seemed to open, gleaming with an eerie light.

To some extent, these illusions can be regarded as real when necessary.

Nemus even saw traces of the creation of the Rhine's sacred creature within it.

"Is this the environment of the earth now?" Feeling the completely different atmosphere in the illusionary scene, Nemus was not in a hurry and asked with great interest.

Nems was then met with a sudden attack from the shadows by various terrifying creatures.

Although most of these terrifying creatures were illusions, based on the signs Nemus observed, he was certain that if he were to truly believe in the falsehood of the illusions, Clement could make them real when necessary.

Illusions serve as cover, and the creation of forbidden life is the means to achieve this, while various spellcasting techniques may also be incorporated in the process.

For example, spell hijacking and spell stacking, which were familiar to the old priest and were later inherited and further enhanced by Isabella.

You could say Clement is a larger version of the old priest.

Stronger, with more diverse methods, and even more destructive and perverse!
Nemus brandished his sword, shattering several approaching illusions of calamity creatures.

He then suddenly plunged the sword into the ground.

A massive influx of plants surged from the ground and began to alter the environment—adding variables that caused the computational demands of the illusionary scene to skyrocket.

At the same time, Nemus rushed forward.

A sacred light shone forth at that moment.

Sword of Fortune - Light Bird!

With the characteristic of being an "artificial holy child," Nemus's divine attributes were greatly enhanced.

While there are already many counters to the Holy attribute.

Products like the Holy Son Project possess divine resistance.

But this precisely demonstrates the power of divine attributes; if they weren't powerful, others wouldn't bother to think of how to counter them.
