Devil's Bible

That's right, Nemus doesn't plan to bring Kru and most of the others on this expedition to explore the land.

Because their power is unlikely to have much effect on the ground.

The unique nature of calamities makes it irrelevant whether or not many powers are present when facing calamity-inducing creatures.

Conversely, if it were more functional, it might be able to survive longer on the ground.

Besides, Nemus went to great lengths to create the dwarf scouting units, not just to keep them afloat on the Azure Whale.

"Is that all? Lord Nemus?!" The Queen of Hearts had already changed into a dress, and a rune appeared on her bare neck.

A similar rune was now flashing around a floating celestial globe in front of them.

“That’s right. Once you die, this causal rune will guide your consciousness back to the Human Realm: Garden World.”

"With your level of consciousness, it will only take some time to conceive again."

"Of course, the premise is that you cannot let your consciousness be corrupted by special forces. If your consciousness is corrupted, you may really die," Nemus warned the Queen of Hearts.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Nemus." The Queen of Hearts was only about fifty centimeters tall at the moment, like a little dwarf.

This is her new body.

If the meat yield is the same as normal, the growth time will be several months longer.

The Queen of Hearts' combat abilities do not rely on her physical body, so she did not require herself to continue growing.

This was half a month after Nemus accepted the Sword Saint's number and sensed the recurrence of the curse.

At this moment, the reconnaissance regiment has been established.

The tiny humanoids, each the size of a fist, have now completed their resurrection in the real world.

Like the Queen of Hearts, they have runes all over their bodies.

These runes can protect their consciousness from rapidly regressing after the body dies.

This is also where the Dwarf race has an advantage as a scout unit.

Their personal consciousness is not closely integrated with the virtual soul, which prevents them from becoming spellcasters and practicing meditation.

However, it allows their individual consciousness to be quickly detached and guided back to the garden world.

At Nemus's command, the little figures, led by the Queen of Hearts, swiftly jumped off the Azure Whale.

A paraglider appeared behind them, carrying them rapidly toward the ground.

This commotion immediately attracted some calamity creatures capable of flight.

The little people are also considered living beings at this moment, and any breath of life will attract the attention of the calamity-causing creatures.

However, the little people were already prepared for this.

With a thought, a power of mental imagery burst forth from their hearts and enveloped their bodies.

Instantly, their life force became ethereal and elusive, like a peculiar phenomenon.

Since they weren't living people, the calamity creatures that had sensed a faint life force earlier lowered their attention with some confusion.

Aside from certain special species, these calamity creatures no longer concern the little people.

"The art of mental imagery has indeed succeeded!" The Queen of Hearts was also enveloped by mental images at this moment.

They are consciousnesses that emerged from a fictional space, and are born with some of the ability to create fictions.

It can be said that the fictional practice methods were largely derived from Nemus's research on them.

Every individual who can undergo a transformation of consciousness from the realm of humanity will naturally acquire the ability to create fiction.

With this ability to create illusions, they possess a unique characteristic. This characteristic is called "fictional mental imagery": a special phenomenon created by a unique mind, which varies depending on the individual mind and is subject to the established phenomenon of mental imagery.

The so-called phenomenon of "conclusion of mental images" refers to the idea that mental images are their essence.

When their minds are overlaid with mental images, their lives will also develop in a fictional state. At times, they will become phenomenal individuals rather than simple lives.

What determines them is never the flesh and blood bodies with life characteristics that Nems cultivated for them, but their mental image.

At this moment, precisely because of this, they lose their vital signs as their mental images are overwhelmed.

To a certain extent, as long as they don't directly encounter the calamity creatures, they can escape the calamity's clutches.

The little people glided down to the ground and quickly dispersed to gather intelligence.

The entire land was in a state of wilderness at this moment.

After all, no one has lived here for a thousand years.

Even the original buildings have long since collapsed or been covered by vines and weeds.

Changes in terrain have also buried some things underground forever.

Everywhere there are ordinary lives and vegetation.

Besides these, there are those hidden calamity-causing beings.

On the earth, all you see are ordinary jungles, and anything unusual is something that could be deadly.

The little creatures quickly explored and confirmed that this area was a gathering place for calamity creatures.

Then, they began to assist in positioning and establish spatial teleportation coordinates.

With the fluctuations of space.

Then Nemus, with the body of Kenai on his back, appeared on the ground.

The moment he appeared, Nemus sensed a certain fluctuation emerging, and the curse of Dartmenley on his body became active.

"Indeed, the curse and the earth have a profound connection, a close yet antagonistic relationship." Nemus carefully sensed the changes in the curse and then felt the subtle connection between the curse and the earth.

However, the curse and the earth's aura clashed the moment they came into contact.

“This state…” Nemus found it difficult to analyze at this moment.

Saint Dartmanley was once a paladin of the God of Discipline, and became a saint by walking the earth.

However, Dartmention then discovered something peculiar, which quickly vanished from the earth.

“Datmenley must have discovered something and done something to be hated by fate, thus incurring its curse.”

"This curse is not as sinful as the number of divisions, so Dartmenley was not cursed to become a sinful soul."

"But it incorporated something related to the earth, which made the curse more troublesome."

"I need to find the key from back then..."

Following the scent of the curse, Nemus quickly found some clues.

"It's about 300 kilometers away from here." After confirming the location, Nemus sent the little man to scout ahead and then began to approach that direction.

Three hundred kilometers is not far. With his current understanding of taboos, ordinary calamity creatures along the way cannot affect him.

What I fear most is the emergence of something special like the Earth Church.

Sure enough, after walking more than fifty kilometers, the little man began to return to deliver the message.

They discovered a city. (End of Chapter)
