Devil's Bible

Chapter 408 I've captured the Clownmon!
"Who is it?" the Fly Demon asked, only to find its mouth hanging down.

A sudden jolt went through him, and he sought healing magic to save himself. At the same time, he swung his mandibles, trying to grab the person behind him and use their flesh and blood to restore his own life force.

Unfortunately, his incredibly tough mouthparts, which he relied on, had broken into many pieces at some point.

"It's you..." The Fly Demon's life force was still surging within its body, trying to save its own life, and its wings were flapping wildly behind it.

Unfortunately, if he makes any movement in any part of it, that piece will quickly fall off.

Then, as the entire body detached, it crumbled into pieces on the ground.

With a flick of his wrist, wisps of black energy shot out from the Fly Demon's body.

Cause and Effect, the Sword of Fortune, Blood Shining in the Night.

After separating from the body, Nemus's Sword of Fortune appeared more agile and more concealed.

He lurked within the soul of the 'Clown Demon' that had been modified by the Clown Demon.

He secretly injected a large amount of Blood Night's miniature sword energy into his body's blood.

And in this process, they communicate using a "self-agreement".

He briefly inhabited the body of this demon, using this as a causal link to drive the 'self-agreement'.

This is different from previous causes, tripartite agreements, or causal relationships with one's own timeline.

This use of "self-agreement" should be called "karma".

Still focusing on me, Nemus and this temporary parasite established a causal link.

If he is harmed, then Nemus can use this causal link to take revenge on the person who harmed 'me'.

It was precisely this causal connection that caused these miniature sword energies to take the life of the fly demon.

After collecting the Fly Demon's flesh, blood, and soul, Nemus also put away the jewelry and ornaments on his body.

These items are quite valuable, and many of them are magical items.

Many people in the abyss like these kinds of things; they're a kind of luxury that's not very practical.

It can be considered a kind of hard currency in the abyss.

Demons are also quite extravagant; many demons, after becoming official demons, immediately begin to seek out all sorts of luxury goods to adorn themselves.

The Fly Demon is the most prominent among them.

They were very fond of these things, and it is said that a fly demon messenger once secretly stole the treasure of the demon lord.

They even betrayed crucial information about the demon lord for the sake of treasure.

Such things are never lacking in the abyss.

The reason why most demons appear to be poor is not because they are content with poverty.

It's not that they didn't have the opportunity to become rich.

Of course, these luxurious magical items are of little use to a master like Nemus.

However, since it can be considered something from another dimension, it contains the aura of another dimension.

If we take it, we can also study some alchemy from other dimensions.

While Nemes was tidying up, the clown demon stood still and didn't dare to say anything.

Even if he managed to escape from that fly demon with all his might, he would still be considered quite talented.

However, Nemus was able to kill the fly demon so easily. He dared not run away now, because if he did, he might die here.

“It was the right thing not to run away. Fate was pushing you here. Even if you had run away, you would have come back again.” Nemus didn’t mean to hide anything.

The reason the Clown Demon was so unlucky was largely because Nemus was interested in him and wanted to subdue him. Once this thought arose, "Destiny" began to work.

Although the main body of this characteristic is in Saint Ne, there is a "self-agreement" that makes Nemus and the others' four identities—Demon, Sword Saint, Holy Son, and Angel A—interconnected.

It's perfectly normal to use all these features repeatedly.

The environment around Azure Whale is relatively stable now. Saint Nai has estimated that if she uses "Destiny," she might be able to obtain a lot of good things, but it would require a lot of luck.

In that case, we might as well focus our attention on the Abyss.

“Fate?!” The Clown Demon looked at Nemus, already having some guesses about Nemus’s identity.

Those high-ranking demons wouldn't have come to this place, which doesn't even have a town, for no reason.

There's a very high probability that they're looking for the demon right in front of them.

“That’s right.” Nemus looked at the other party, smiled, and handed over the flesh and blood of the Fly Demon in his hand: “Want to come and fight me? I’m planning to seize the position of Demon Lord.”

Intense elemental fluctuations came from not far away. The Clown King had sensed that another high-ranking demon under his command had died, and his anger was undoubtedly directed at the other high-ranking demons.

Even so, Nems remained remarkably calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're just a hybrid demon, not even a high-ranking demon. How do you plan to become a demon lord?" Although the Clown Demon knew that Nemus could crush him at any moment, he remained calm and asked what he considered the crucial question.

"Pretty much, I'm ready for a promotion." Nems nodded.

"Gather enough flesh and soul, and understand the nature of a normal soul. Accept the abnormal number, and transform the sin of the world."

"I have no lack of flesh and blood or soul; I already have a normal soul."

"I have almost finished investigating the sins of the world."

"So there's only one thing missing—the number of anomalies," Nemus said. "That's the key to the advancement of the alien demon."

"Next, I'll try to see if I can extract the abnormal numbers."

"How about it, want to join us? Maybe you can become a different kind of demon through this."

Nemus questioned the Clown Demon.

During this period, he had basically figured out the method for advancement of alien demons. He had previously used tens of thousands of demons as consultation fees and confirmed it with the will of the abyss.

The method for achieving the ascension of the alien demon has now been basically determined.

"To become a different kind of demon?" The Clown Demon shook his head after mentioning the different kind of demon, but followed behind Nemus: "I need to assess your potential for advancement."

"If you lack potential, I'll find a chance to run away immediately."

The Clown Demon bluntly stated that although he was afraid Nemes would kill him, he also had his 'bottom line'.

"Suit yourself." Nemus nodded, having barely managed to subdue the clown demon for the moment.

"Then don't resist..."

The clown demon was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

The two of them then vanished from the spot.

Then, the place where they were standing instantly turned into a white expanse.

A giant baboon demon appeared not far away, a ball of white light flashing in its hand before vanishing.

"Escaped again?" This time, the baboon demon didn't hold back.

If they test them on small matters, the Clown King won't kill them with war about to begin.

However, if the Clown King gets angry, continuing to provoke him is tantamount to suicide.
