Chapter 409 Virtual Godhood, Virtual Truth!

Chapter 409 Virtual Godhood, Virtual Truth!
At this moment, inside the Absurd Castle on the Absurd Plains, the Clown King did not outwardly display the same anger as those high-ranking demons.

After half an hour of those high-ranking demons failing to capture Nemus, he realized something was wrong and decisively changed his strategy.

Although there may be some losses now, if you operate well, you might even be able to make some money.

"It just so happens to be at this point in time... otherwise I wouldn't have sold all these people out at once." The Clown King thought, his eyes filled with cold hatred for Nemus.

By this time, the Clown King had gathered almost all the information about Nemus in the Abyss.

And an impression of Nems has already emerged.

A different kind of demon that appeared four years ago.

The growth rate is astonishingly fast.

Although demons can grow in value very quickly through blood sacrifice and other means, as long as there are enough resources.

However, compared to Nemes, it seems not so fast.

In three years, it increased from an initial value of ten to the maximum value.

It might not even have been three years; Nemus also spent several months searching for information and ways to leave the Abyss and travel to the material plane.

The advancement of a formal demon is extremely difficult in the abyss; otherwise, he wouldn't have so few high-ranking demons under his command.

So at that time he became interested in Nemus and was just about to meet this alien demon when Nemus suddenly left.

This matter is over.

At the time, he was eyeing Atata's territory, and floor 263 looked pretty good.

Of course, he also knew that Atata was not easy to deal with, so the original interdimensional war was launched to eliminate unstable elements.

He and Atata cooperated to eliminate those who were gradually gaining strength in their respective territories but were unwilling to stay put.

However, if Atata encounters any problems during this process, the purpose of that war will change.

Unexpectedly, four years later, the Twin Demons, who had only risen to power decades ago, suffered serious injuries.

It is said to be a strike from a saint in the material plane, an attack that even chased it all the way to the abyss.

That intense holy power turned many of the demons in the vicinity to ashes.

However, the Twin Demons were prepared and dodged the attack.

However, based on the leaked information, we can still draw a conclusion—the Twin Demons are seriously injured.

Beating a drowning dog is something all demons love to do.

Such a large territory, if it could be brought under their control, would also boost their 'authority'.

The authority granted to demon lords represents their potential for further advancement.

Even if the powerful demon prince were to go to the material plane, he could still be considered a god.

If these demon lords were to go to the material plane, they would only be considered as top-tier golden beings with slightly higher standards.

The reason for this is that the 'authority' of demon lords is different from the divine authority of gods.

The divine attributes of the gods are 'complete'. Even if several gods have fought for a portion of different divine attributes, it is still only a fraction, and the number is already considered complete.

The authority of the demons of the abyss is different; it is a virtual divine status simulated by the abyss.

Like the source of the abyss, it is a fragmented entity.

These virtual deities possess power similar to that of gods within the abyss, only weaker.

However, once it is brought to the material plane, then the virtual godhood becomes 'worthless'.

Just like how demons have physical bodies in the abyss and are incredibly strong, even a demon lord needs to create a vessel to enter the material plane.

Virtual deities are even more 'virtual'. They cannot be made into a vessel in the material plane and can only seek out the true form—the number of real deities.

But does the power of a virtual deity become meaningless?

That's definitely not the case. First of all, the power of the virtual deity is a real force within the abyss.

Secondly, the significance of virtual divinity lies in providing a path to true divinity.

Before this path is fully established, everything is meaningless, but once it is truly established, the virtual deity will naturally become a real deity.

Only these demon lords know that the abyss's purpose currently has only one goal—to cultivate more demon princes with real power.

More territory, a stronger virtual deity, and a deeper study of authority.

In this process, it becomes inevitable to take action against other demon leaders.

In the face of a true interdimensional war, nothing else matters.

This has become the instinct of the devil.

It is also the instinct of the abyss.

Nemus is interesting, but no matter how interesting he is, he is still just a different kind of demon.

The opponent is at least three stages away from becoming a demon lord.

It took the Clown King over six hundred years to complete those three steps.

Even if Nemus breaks the restriction that makes it difficult for alien demons to advance, it will still take at least several hundred years to catch up with him.

So... don't worry about it!
"My plan is to complete the promotion, accumulate numerical data, explore the key elements of the Demon Lord, and finally seize the position of Lord in the next hundred days," Nemus told the Clown Demon about his plan.

In the past, the Clown Demon would have simply assumed that Nemus was spouting some crazy nonsense that demons love.

However, after experiencing the "knot-tying record-keeping" method, the Clown Demon couldn't help but begin to believe that Nemus might actually be able to do it.

A time-related ability.

He has only had a slight exposure to the concept system and possesses some conceptual qualities, but the relevant characteristics have not yet been fully formed.

Nems, however, had already mastered the properties of time, and not just that.

The Clown Demon can sense Nemus's development of this trait during this process.

Even with the same feature, different people will experience vastly different results when using it.

Most importantly, it is about understanding the characteristics within those characteristics.

Once you understand the features, you can develop corresponding techniques even without using them.

That's exactly what Nems is doing right now.

The two of them arrived at the edge of the Absurd Plains.

A red energy stream was slowly flowing not far away.

A terrifying aura of energy is being released rapidly.

However, within these energies, a large number of weak lives are being conceived.

This torrent of energy is what is known as the River Styx.

To an ordinary little devil, it was just an ordinary red river.
