Devil's Bible

Chapter 411 The God of Discipline has once again plunged into the abyss?

The clown demon now worshipped Nemes even more.

This is a form of worship of 'superhumans' who can surpass normal individuals.

Nemus is doing something extraordinary; the abilities, ambitions, and audacity he displays far exceed those of a normal demon.

The Clown Demon originally thought that he was already very bold for secretly seizing a corner of the Absurd Plains and waiting for the day when he could steal the Clown King's position as lord.

Compared to Nemes, it seems particularly childish.

"But does Lord Nemus have confidence?" the Clown Demon asked, though his attitude remained unchanged despite the admiration he had shown.

No matter how well Nemus performs now, if he fails to advance, the Clown Demon will still run away without hesitation.

"Don't worry, although the Abyss Will has many problems, it is itself a qualified and generous 'mother'," Nemus said.

A ball of soul power then appeared in his hand, but unlike ordinary soul power, the soul power in Nemus's hand had its form and nature altered by sealing techniques, magic circles, and other methods.

This is the tool Nemus uses to help him automatically purify his faith—the Soul Accessory.

The abyss's true purpose is clear through its established system—to fill the gaps in its essence with virtual things, thereby transforming the false into the real in another way and restoring its completeness.

All demons are experiments of the abyss.

Demons before the higher-ranking demons are merely reserve entities.

The high-ranking demons have officially entered the experimental sequence.

The Demon Lord represents the beginning of the experiment, requiring him to exert his own initiative.

The Demon Prince represents a partial, successful stage of the experiment.

If that's the case, then why doesn't Nemus combine his own unique soul characteristics to create an 'experimental soul' for the Abyss Will?

"To truly transform my own soul into a spiritual entity, while on the outside I wear a layer of a demon's broken soul, and to directly construct an artificial interface using soul components."

It's like Nems doesn't want to subtract by opening holes in himself, but rather adds to himself, giving himself external functions and a soul.

“In this way, although the power of the outer layer of the demon is still restrained by the abyss, the foundation is different,” Nemus thought.

He also understood that this attempt to break free from the deep control of the abyss would, to some extent, 'enrage' the will of the abyss.

"But it will only provoke anger." Nemus understood the will of the abyss quite well, as evidenced by his previous interference with the twin demons' descent, which resulted in him being fined by the will of the abyss.

This actually angered the will of the abyss, but the tens of thousands of lesser demons within the abyss quelled their rage.

This explains why the Abyss values ​​things.

If Nemus can demonstrate his value, then the Abyss will naturally agree to Nemus's actions.

Because of its value, Nems is no longer just a simple 'experimental subject'.

Instead, he became a 'semi-researcher' who actively conducted experiments.

Value brings about an increase in identity and permissions.

As for how the value is derived...

After glancing at the Clown Demon, Nemus began his preparations.

The so-called value lies in what the will of the abyss values.

His own alien soul was the reason he was able to help the Abyss defeat the God of Discipline.

Therefore, the will of the abyss tacitly approved the number of divine essences that Nemus took away.

This was originally an investment made by the will of the abyss in itself.

Now, it is necessary to demonstrate one's development of one's own heteromorphic soul and the utilization of divine power.

These things may contain something helpful to the existence of the will of the abyss.

Only by demonstrating these things can one gain the approval of the Abyss's will and acquire a degree of autonomy. After completing his preparations, Nemus gave an order to the Clown Demon and then headed into the River Styx.

Why do most demons leave the River Styx after evolving from a worm into a lesser demon?

The reason is that the River Styx is not safe by its very nature.

The worms gestating within the river are so small that they drift with the current and fail to sense the danger of the Styx.

Following the ebb and flow of the River Styx's tides, they will be transported to various levels of the abyss.

However, the larger the demon, the stronger the impact and tearing force from the surging waves of the River Styx after it comes into contact with it.

If a high-ranking demon comes into contact with the River Styx for more than a few seconds, its body may be shattered by the river.

Therefore, the River Styx is also known as the River of Suicide and Resurrection.

Many demons, feeling they have no chance of becoming high-ranking demons in their lifetime, will impulsively rush into the River Styx to start over.

However, this behavior is correct to some extent.

As long as the demon's soul core is not completely destroyed or captured in the abyss, it will return to the River Styx.

Then it transforms into a new Abyssal Worm. Because it has been done once again, the transformation progress of this new Abyssal Worm will be retained to a certain extent.

With multiple cycles, even a mediocre person could potentially become a genius under this mechanism.

The problem is that the River Styx makes people forget most of the past and wash away most of the cause and effect.

When the new worms grow into demons, even if they retain some of their past memories and personalities through some power, everything has changed under the baptism of the River Styx.

Nemus, being a different kind of demon, possessed a soul that resisted the corruption of the Styx.

However, his body was also torn apart in the process and then eroded and destroyed by the chaotic waters of the Styx.

The value of 300 began to drop rapidly.

At the same time, the disguised human body could no longer be maintained and suddenly transformed into the shape of that cloud of black mist.

Large sections of the body are being washed away and then peeled off.

At the same time, Nemus also took out two 'Sin Souls' that he had prepared beforehand.

One from Moritulus, bearing the taboo of 'fusion'.

The other one comes from Balzesa, which has the taboo of "mutual cannibalism".

The appearance of these two forbidden things instantly attracted the will of the abyss.

Or rather, after Nemus arrived at the Abyss and came to the banks of the River Styx, the will of the Abyss had been secretly observing him.

With the emergence of the two types of sinful souls, the will of the abyss awaits Nemus's final choice.

Suddenly, a special power emerged within Nemus's soul, and the pure power of faith formed a protective force at that moment.

A hymn could be faintly heard from the distant sky.

The divine light pierced through the layers of obstacles.

Countless demon lords were drawn to this commotion.

"The God of Discipline has attacked again?" Some demon lords were taken aback and muttered to themselves.

Some demons, however, immediately began to investigate the specific location.

"181st floor? The Clown King?"

The Clown King, who was on the battlefield of the planes and had not completely left his own territory, was also stunned, not knowing what had happened or why a god had come to attack him.
