Devil's Bible

Nemus paid no attention to the changes in the gods outside; he was focused entirely on the divine war between the two regions.

The battlefield on the prime material plane has basically stabilized.

Nemus possesses the advantage of being a master; the number of his Golden Seeds is several times that of the Church of Discipline. In terms of individual combat strength alone, Nemus's side is stronger than the God of Discipline's side.

However, it must be said that Nemus is not a god now. His divine battle level is not bad, but that is only in his current state.

Compared to a powerful god who has experienced countless divine battles, it is considerably weaker.

That's why situations arise where someone with a clear advantage in combat strength is still suppressed.

But all of this was expected.

Nemus did not believe he could defeat the God of Discipline directly under these circumstances.

These deities have been cultivating this field for far too long.

Even with Nems' enhanced learning ability due to the "marginal diminishing returns" effect, it's hard to say whether he could turn the tide in a war of this magnitude within a certain timeframe.

Therefore, Nemus knew from the beginning that the main battleground was not on the material plane, but on the astral plane.

There is no specific time in the astral realm; to be precise, there is not much specific flow of matter here.

Its time, in a sense, is simply a purer record of time, moving with the world, rather than a record of the changes and flow of things.

Nems is also in the Astral Plane at this moment.

After announcing the establishment of the fictional church and activating his divine status, he was 'sent' out of the material plane.

This is a special law of the world.

After the elemental chaos, the coexistence of humans and gods gradually led to unrest.

Various problems between humans and gods can easily lead to the loss of a large number of lives.

It is said that the original Dragon God was the one who caused the separation of humans and gods.

As God departed from the material plane, the world evolved further, and the previously existing astral plane and etheric layer separated further, thus revealing a great capacity for inclusion.

The world's geographical position has gradually become what it is today.

Located in the astral plane, it is surrounded by virtually no matter or elements.

Here, only the essence of thought flows.

Therefore, the war of the gods in the astral plane is different from the war of the gods in other places.

"Alchemy is truly versatile," Nemus remarked.

Nems, being here, could clearly sense the fluctuations of the prime material plane; the bond formed by their faith tightly connected them together.

This point itself is the best explanation of the principle that those above should act like those below, and those below should act like those above.

It's no wonder that alchemists have a high status in the material world. Even if they don't believe in gods or are only of average skill, as long as they are formal alchemists, they will be treated well.

People from other professions who engage in cults are almost certainly doomed to die, while alchemists are at most imprisoned or confined.

As long as one doesn't commit any reckless or fundamental errors, such as blasphemy, it would be quite difficult for alchemy to result in an unnatural death once it falls into the hands of the Church.

Alchemy explores the connections between all things in the world, their foundations and composition, their past and evolution.

An alchemy master possesses an extremely profound understanding of the world.

The existence of such people makes communication between gods and humans increasingly 'easy'.

"I am now basically unable to enter the material plane in my true form."

"Although some fragments of the soul can still move around inside."

"But once I truly become a mythical being, even my clones will likely find it difficult to enter the material plane." "In this case, I will either weaken the connection between my godhood and the rules of the world, or I will have to descend using a 'cybernetics' that has nothing to do with godhood."

"But in essence, that is still inferior to that of a saint."

Now Nemus has figured out why gods can't directly descend into the material plane.

The core issue is that the number of a godhood is strongly correlated with the rules of the entire world. After a godhood is activated, the number of a godhood will resonate with the number of one's own thoughts.

Any entity strongly related to one's own thoughts, such as a clone, can be considered a representative of the rules.

God's actions over the years have resulted in a top-heavy situation that remains unresolved.

At this point, any rule representative arriving in the material plane would only cause imbalance and lead to global turmoil.

If a few gods attempt to descend, the entire world will suppress and prevent it, and the existence of other gods will become an obstacle.

Most divine interventions involve dragging the entire world down with them.

The more powerful a deity is, the greater its influence in the world, and the more difficult it is for it to send entities related to itself into the material plane.

“Interference of fate, links of faith, and alchemy…” Nemus found all of this very novel.

Rules dance in his hands, and destiny is bent by the weight of those rules.

At that moment, He felt something He had never felt before: that He was a part of this world.

And this is only one-fifth of the rules governing 'change' in this world.

He... He smiled, then let go of the pleasure brought by the novelty.

“Gods are nothing more than this…” Nemus turned around in the astral plane and looked at the net of discipline that was closing in from not far away.

A massive number of prayer angels surged towards Nemus like a tidal wave. In this situation, the opponent completely controlled the terrifying variables, leaving Nemus with only endless restrictions.

The thousands of gold seeds represent a force capable of altering the material plane.

However, in the astral plane, several thousand is not enough.

Combat units like Prayer Angels can be accumulated.

As long as there are suitable souls, whether they die naturally or are sacrificed, they can become material for prayer angels.

Furthermore, even if the angels die, as long as their souls are not damaged, they can be recycled by simply throwing them into the pool of reincarnation.

Therefore, even though the gods have waged various divine wars over the years, the number of prayer angels has been steadily increasing.

The number of prayer angels under the control of the God of Discipline definitely exceeds one million.

In the astral realm, thoughts determine actions.

The upper limit of the value released to the outside world is much higher than the upper limit of 10,000 for the material plane.

With nearly a million prayer angels present, the power that the gods can unleash here is many times more terrifying.

Nemus, a demon who wasn't even a mythical being, was suddenly rejected and sent here.

He will inevitably be at a significant disadvantage.

"Is that all?" The God of Discipline frowned upon hearing Nemus's words. The difference in strength was too great, and He didn't understand why Nemus would say such a thing.

“You should still have allies, right? Let Him come out, otherwise…” said the God of Discipline.

Then a terrifying force descended upon Nemus.

That force was a fireball.
