Devil's Bible

Chapter 427, 9th type!

Currently, all four parties involved in the conflict are exercising considerable restraint.

The intensity of the interdimensional wars hasn't increased much.

If we withdraw at this point, we will at most lose three to five percent of our territory.

This was also a major headache for the demon lord.

However, it is still within an acceptable range.

The intensity must be increased. If the losses are likely to exceed 15%-20% of the territory, then the demon lord will absolutely not give up the interdimensional war and will fight to the bitter end.

Because if so much territory is lost, it means that the power of one's own domain has suddenly decreased by one-fifth.

They would immediately become easy prey in the eyes of other demon lords.

Just like this time, although the Twin Demons' territory was not lost, only their main body was injured, which immediately attracted the siege of the three factions.

Therefore, once the intensity of the war reaches that level, it will inevitably end with the complete collapse of one family.

Only when things reach that point will these demon lords reveal all their trump cards.

That would give them the opportunity to maximize their profits even when both sides are severely weakened.

After arranging for Salish and the Clown Demon, Nemus continued to explore the changes in his strength after his advancement.

Apart from the three characteristics of 'marginal increasing', 'gift', and 'external existence'.

Nems also has six other characteristics.

Characteristics – 'Demon Race': Sublimated from the immortality of demons, the soul's protective ability is greatly enhanced. Conventional damage of equal value cannot cause substantial damage to the soul. In addition, due to the outer soul, this immortality is doubled and can be manifested outside the body.

It is this characteristic that makes it rare for high-ranking demons to be purified when they travel to the material plane.

High-ranking demons can only be killed directly if their soul return to the abyss is interrupted and then purified by several golden beings working together, or if they are unlucky enough to encounter a saint.

Characteristic - 'Power of the Abyss': This power carries strong evil and chaotic attributes, which can be used to corrupt the target and impose the taboo of 'corruption'.

Characteristic – 'Abyssal Gaze': Allows constant interaction with the will of the abyss, thereby comprehending virtual rules and gaining access to the advanced knowledge base of the will of the abyss for learning.

Characteristics – 'Outer Soul': A soul shell obtained through self-modification, greatly increasing resistance to mental abilities and granting immunity to charm, mind control, and mind-reading abilities.

Characteristics – ‘Styx Mark’: Having died and been reborn from the River Styx, the soul absorbs a large amount of the River Styx's energy and can borrow the power of the River Styx.

Characteristic - 'Possibility Convergence': A causal ability that can converge a certain causal development, causing a phenomenon of one cause having multiple effects to point to a single effect.

In other words, this time, the Nemus demon's main body advanced and gained a total of nine gold-level abilities.

Among them, "marginal increase" and "external existence" are brought about by Nemus's true spirit traits.

"Grace" is something Nemus gained by studying fate and mastering the power of destiny.

The "outer soul" comes from Nemus's self-soul modification.

The "Styx Mark" is the result of a unique rebirth.

The "Convergence of Possibilities" is formed through achievements made in the historical reenactment unfolded by the will of the abyss.

These six characteristics are either Naim's natural talents or the result of Naim's own hard work.

The remaining traits, 'Demon Species', 'Abyssal Power', and 'Abyssal Gaze', are the characteristics that high-ranking demons typically acquire upon advancement.

It corresponds to the three basic and gold characteristics.

However, the Golden Seed uses the "Golden Key" to enter the perspective of truth, observe the workings of the world, and thus collect characteristics.

High-ranking demons interact with the Abyss through "Abyssal Gaze" and the Abyss's Will. With the support of the Abyss's Will, they simulate various rules and learn from the knowledge base to master characteristics and acquire traits.

Nemus tried out the feeling of "Abyss Gaze," and it was completely different from entering the perspective of truth. It gave one the feeling of entering a virtual game.

An endless power seemed to emerge around him, which he could manipulate at will. With just a thought, he could change this power and then condense it into what he wanted.

Treasure, women, territory, and all sorts of things that only exist in fantasy.

With a thought, Nemus summoned the 'God of Discipline' before him.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the original God of Discipline transformed into a female figure, kneeling before him, seemingly at his 'command'.

However, with a thought, Nemus caused all of this to vanish.

If we treat it merely as a place to satisfy our fantasies and for enjoyment, then we have completely abandoned its greatest value.

Nems's thoughts shifted once again, and various things appeared before him.

These things began to move on their own, but their movements were very stiff and rigid.

Fortunately, after a moment's thought, Nemes quickly added something to these things.

As a result, all sorts of things that were originally rigid and mechanical began to come alive.

They will interact, or they will stay alone and not know what to do.

These interactions will also leave traces.

These traces drive their next interaction.

A dense array of lines and marks appeared before his eyes.

And as time goes on, the interactions between these things become more and more complex, and the traces become more and more intricate.

The relationships between various things are also becoming more complex.

With a wave of his hand, Nemus caused a surge of power on the other side, revealing another area.

Nemes called the area where the first things were located Area One, and the area that was built later Area Two.

The same thing exists in area two.

However, compared to Zone One, things in Zone Two seemed to be a few seconds faster.

After what happens in Zone 2, the same thing will happen in Zone 1.

"And that is foresight."

"Those traces are simple forms of movement."

Nemes extracted those trace lines, and after refining the extraction, several typical trajectory changes emerged.

If these trajectory changes were taught to individuals in a fictional protocol who diligently practice wielding the sword.

If he can grasp even a little bit of it, his learning progress with the Sword of Fortune will increase significantly.

The current level of simulation will naturally not improve Nems' understanding of the game.

But what if we increase the intensity and the object of observation?
What if we added rules like 'fate' or 'cause and effect' to the existing rule of 'luck'?
Then what if we add some 'changes' that even Nems himself doesn't fully grasp?

At that time, this simulated world will definitely be of great help to Nemus in comprehending these rules.

This is precisely where the value of the "Abyss Gaze" feature lies.

Besides, the so-called "learning from the knowledge base" can be achieved by simply killing tens of thousands of lesser demons.

"As expected, taking both sides yields the greatest benefit." Nemus immediately realized that the 'Golden Key' combined with 'Abyssal Gaze' could greatly enhance his learning ability.
