Devil's Bible

Chapter 449 Let's just treat this as a performance to please you!

"Knotting to record events & the law of cause and effect - a reverse narrative!" Nemus slowly exhaled, his physical condition slightly calming down.

His confidence in allowing the Clown King to use nursery rhymes stemmed from the existence of "knotting ropes for record-keeping".

Aside from the high-end characteristics under the rules of fate, Nemus acquired this top-level characteristic the earliest and has the deepest understanding and development of it.

It can now be combined with other top-tier features to use 'knot-tying'.

By combining "self-agreement" and "possibility convergence," Nemus perfectly decoupled the fact that the Clown Demon used "nursery rhymes" to extract his own power and tied it into a knot.

At the same time, as the knot was tied, the previous event stored inside was released—the final, furious blow of the God of Discipline in the replay of history.

The key here lies in the manipulation of causality, which allowed Nemus to reverse the causal relationship to a certain extent.

The effect appears before the cause.

That is, this period of time was stored, and after the Clown King was hit by the stored attack, Nemus completed the knot release and tied this cause again.

In essence, the Clown King's judgment was correct; His nursery rhyme not only drained Nemus's stats but also undermined Nemus's traits.

However, if we follow the normal cause-and-effect relationship, Nemes's "knotted record system" is also in a state of being shaken.

However, while the Clown King was using "Nursery Rhyme," Nemus's power was also operating simultaneously, and cause and effect had been reversed.

This is why all sorts of things were instantly brought together into one thing, tied together by the "knot-tying record," and then returned to normal, completing the operation.

Clown King staggered, a drop of blood quickly sliding down his forehead.

The trait 'Demon Lord' is at work, ensuring His immortality; however, He discovers that the power that injured Him is quite peculiar.

The value isn't very high, it's even quite inflated, like something unreal.

However, its power level is very high, so high that even a lord-level immortal would have difficulty fighting against it.

"Is it a god?" Although the demon lord has a certain possibility of challenging mythology in the abyss, it is only a certain possibility, and the margin for error is pitifully low.

The fact that I'm still alive despite being accurately hit is mainly because the attack was too weak and lacked substantial power.

“A miscalculation.” The Clown King shook his head, spilling a lot of brain matter, and said slowly, a smile creeping across his face as he watched Nemus approach rapidly with his sword.

Even in this situation, as He walks step by step toward a dead end, He still refuses to admit defeat or despair.

“But I’m not so easy to lose…” Clown King said as he drew a card.

The card features Himself.

This is the original card of the Clown King.

"I have one last move..."

"If this final move can't defeat you, then consider it a performance to please you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the cards in the Clown King's hand flew out.

Seeing this, Nemus watched the changes warily.

The Joker card flew around, and then a brand new Joker King emerged from it.

The original Clown King, whose head had been pierced, was transformed into some kind of transformative power and absorbed into the card.

"It's changed like this. The path of change will eventually lead to the path of discipline..." Upon seeing this, Nemus immediately grasped the key point.

The "Clown Card" represents the core characteristic of Clown King's understanding of change. It can seal various changes within it, which can be released and used directly when needed.

Essentially, it is about storing changes.

Since it involves storage, restrictions are necessary.

Limitations, then changes, and we've come full circle back to the realm of discipline.

This time, Piedmon used his own Origin Card to 'reset' his state, allowing him to return to his strongest form. However, this is not a good thing, but rather a limitation.

Because from then on, the Clown King's 'strongest state' became a fixed state in the card.

Originally, as long as Clown King didn't use this move, His Origin Cards could keep growing.

After this, even if He survives, His card will no longer grow.

And most likely, He lost, and then everything He possessed was locked within this card.

We trade restrictions for change, but when the change is exhausted, everything will be in a state of restriction.

In other words, if He exhausts the power of change He gained by exchanging His own origin, He will not only die and lose His position as lord.

Even His own soul and everything else will become a joke card that anyone can use.

The Clown King truly poured everything he had into this final performance.

Either win, then break free from the restrictions, disable the maximum limit of one of your trump cards, and then slowly recover from your injuries.

Either lose, or lose everything.

This determination, this madness, this conviction.

"A commendable opponent!" Nemus exclaimed as he charged toward the Clown King.

The Clown King handled everything flawlessly from beginning to end; he truly deserves the title of Demon Lord.

His only problem was one thing—

"But you've met me, and I'm sure I'll win!"

"So, I have no choice but to ask you to lose!" The sword blade shifted, and as it twisted, everything around it coalesced into lines.

Sword of Fortune - Sparrow Falls from the Sky!

The terrifying sword energy was condensed into a line, circling around Nemus and stopping the approaching Clown King.

Then the blade changed and slashed forward, suddenly leaping through space during its movement and arriving at the face of the Clown King.

Sword of Fortune: Light-Eyed Falcon!

Clown King produced throwing knives in his hands, blocking Nemus's sword. He nimbly twisted and turned in mid-air, and with a flick of his wrist, several throwing knives flew out close to him.

These throwing knives were much more powerful than I had imagined.

"This method of change is based on the same principle as the precepts, but it increases the feedback in the opposite direction..." Nemus swept his sword horizontally, feeling the power of the throwing knife, and gained a deeper understanding of the Clown King's method of change.

The rules of Nemus are to restrict certain behaviors in order to obtain feedback from the power of change. These feedbacks form different powers depending on the specific rules.

The main purpose now is to establish points of repentance around them.

However, the situation is somewhat reversed for the Clown King.

He has fixed the original card to be his peak state, so every move he makes is at its peak, and all the power of change is poured into it to maintain this 'peak limitation'.

Normally, for the Piedmon to throw a knife with this kind of power, he would have to use a burst of energy.

An outburst cannot last; it may weaken in a few moments.

However, the current Clown King can maintain his peak burst of power without getting injured or having his power reduced.

Before the power of change is exhausted, He will forever remain at the pinnacle that He can reach!
