Devil's Bible

Chapter 399 181
“These small material planes are perfect pastures for raising humans and acquiring faith.” Nemus recalled information about various material planes, but the most prominent one was the allure of the Abyss.

The Prime Material Plane is vast and boundless, while any other material plane that can be sunk into the abyss can immediately become a demon lord.

The material plane that sank down will become a new abyss level, shrouded in demonic laws.

For example, the 'Abyss 181st Floor' that Nemus currently belongs to is called the Absurd Plains.

This is a vast plain, with the soil mostly consisting of hard, yellowish-brown earth.

Almost no plants can grow on it, and the sky is filled with dark clouds that seem to never disperse.

Occasionally, acid rain can bleed some little devils dry.

In 181, on this barren land, there dwells a vast swathe of demons.

Apart from a few high-ranking demons who have established towns on this plain, there is only one main city left, called Absurd City.

The main city is the town of the local demon lord.

It is a gathering place for a large number of demons and visitors from other worlds.

The demon lord of this floor is named Clown King.

He is a demon lord who rose from the ranks of a clown demon.

The evolutionary paths of demons are incredibly diverse.

There are five or six common types of little devils.

And there are even more full-fledged demons that evolved from these lesser demons.

There are more than ten common types.

There are even more that are less common.

When a demon advances to a higher rank, some will transform into a new form, while others will choose to remain unchanged.

High-ranking demons include Flame Demons, Ice Demons, Earth-Splitting Demons, Illusion Demons, and Chain Soul Demons, among others.

This high-ranking demon race, whether born that way or evolved from other demons, is a high-ranking demon, equivalent to the Gold race.

The minimum value is one hundred.

However, there are also many other demon races, such as succubi, berserkers, shadow demons, and bewitching demons, which are common and legitimate demons.

These demons are born with a value of ten, and can naturally grow to a value of eighty or ninety.

When they are promoted to higher-ranking demons, they can choose not to change their race.

Firstly, demons themselves possess chaotic and unstable characteristics. Furthermore, they change races during advancement, making them even more unstable and potentially unable to complete the advancement.

Secondly, those who can advance to become formal demons must have a thorough grasp of their own characteristics and traits.

If the race changes at this time, and the Chaos trait kicks in, for example, a Shadow Fiend is promoted to Balrog, what should be done?
This is not impossible.

The Abyss is too chaotic, and it's almost certain that the Abyss's will is a show-off who stirs things up from time to time.

For example, a succubus, relying on her beauty, becomes a daily necessity for a demon lord. As a result, while being used, she gains the favor of the demon lord and is promoted to a high-ranking demon.

The result was an unusual filth demon, which most people would call the shit demon.

This left the succubus stunned on the spot.

Of course, the fact that the demon lord went berserk and accepted all comers was both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, it's a demon.

It's normal to have some quirks.

In short, in the Abyss, something is definitely abnormal to be considered normal.

The clown demon is a relatively uncommon type of formal demon.

The abyss is teeming with all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures, and you might even encounter new species just by going out for a stroll.

New varieties are not necessarily strong.

The fact that common demon races are still considered 'common' indicates that these demons have a relatively stable ecological niche in the Abyss.

The new species of demons are different. They may have some different powers, but they often find it difficult to compete with other demons. It's good if very few of them can grow up.

Clown Demons aren't a new breed, but they're not common either. Most are formal demons, and very few can become high-ranking demons, let alone demon lords.

The typical clown demon's signature ability is a spell-like ability: forced laughter.

A fairly decent control spell.

In addition, he also has abilities such as throwing knives and magic tricks.

They are not strong in direct combat, but are good at being unpredictable.

However, this is not surprising.

Anything can happen in the abyss.

Nemus had previously encountered a high-ranking demon formed from a coward.

The so-called "fear demon" is a very common type of minor demon.

Their evolutionary potential is insufficient, and most of them will remain in a state of fear forever until they die.

Once they are promoted, most of them will immediately abandon their identity as demons.

"Is there another military operation?" Nems had only been away from the 181st floor for less than two years.

Two years ago, the Clown King on the 181st floor summoned demons on a large scale and launched an attack on other floors, wanting to bring more floors under his control.

However, he clearly failed.

The 181-story building has not been expanded in the past two years, nor has it been combined or merged with other floors.

"Has the Clown King found another target in just two years?" One reason Nemus left the Abyss was that his stats had reached a maximum of 300.

At that time, developing divinity in the material plane would be the only way forward.

On the other hand, it was due to the Clown King's forced conscription.

The various battles that occur daily in the abyss, including small-scale wars, need no further mention.

It's nothing more than a new high-ranking demon rising up in some town and then challenging the old guard.

This battle will never stop.

However, large-scale wars at different levels have been relatively restrained.

After all, the demon lord already possesses a territory.

They all possess lord-level authority and are bound by the same Abyss Will, so under normal circumstances, their attacks cannot be broken.

Demons who can become demon lords are all unlikely to be fools.

If a fool becomes a demon lord, then it is even more terrifying.

This is because it at least means that the other party either has an absolute advantage in military strength or is supported by the will of the abyss.

In this situation, demon lords will only become more cautious in their military operations.

Once a fight breaks out, there's no guarantee of victory against the neighboring lord. He might even expose a weakness, and if he's not careful, his high-ranking demons might take advantage of the situation.

At the same time, this kind of multi-level warfare is also a meat grinder for some high-level demons.

Often, demon lords wage war not to win.

On the contrary, many times it's to purge those disobedient high-ranking demons under his command.

Nemus was quite strong back then, and the speed at which his stats increased by 300 in three years had already caused some people to be wary.

If he hadn't run away then, he probably would have been sent to the battlefield by the Clown King and 'unfortunately' died in battle.

Although Nems enjoys challenges, he doesn't rush in blindly.

He could sense the malice of the Clown King.

I thought the war on floor levels would end in two years.

I also learned this from some of the lesser demons I had summoned earlier.

But unexpectedly, at the very moment of his return, the Clown King started another war.
