Devil's Bible

Even without establishing a divine kingdom, Nemus doesn't have enough time.

In this short time, even if he poured all his faith into himself, it would be difficult to stabilize the channel of faith. Becoming a weak god would be no problem, but becoming a medium god would be very difficult.

As for powerful divine strength, that's even more impossible.

Although the Godhood of 'Change' has a foundation of powerful divine power, it requires at least thousands of years of accumulation, gradually acquiring the power of faith and transforming it into divine power.

In addition, the composition of the divine nature needs to be optimized to the extreme to achieve this.

Nemus then tried using substances like elements to refine divine power.

After a few attempts, the conclusion was reached: it was possible, but very slow.

Everything in this world is made of mud.

In theory, everything can be unified by the source-matter theory.

Unfortunately, Nemes did not reach that level of understanding to fully develop a grand unified theory and its specific formulas.

With human capabilities and computing power, we can only ever grasp a partial understanding of the transformations.

Extracting divine power from elements requires several steps to transform and alter it, unless it comes from a corresponding elemental deity.

It takes a lot of effort, time, and energy.

And the abyss...

Demons are a very large group.

And we can learn a very important piece of information: almost all demons have no faith.

Yes, almost all of them.

Excluding a very few oddballs, the faith of a small number of demons is generally directed toward the abyss itself, the will of the abyss, the demon princes, and themselves.

Even if most demons are more intelligent than ordinary people, they will not believe in others; at most, they will pretend to be loyal.

This is due to the demonic nature of the body.

It's just a bunch of broken-down individuals.

They are broken and always want to take things from other places to fill their own voids. How could they possibly give up themselves and offer their 'spirit' to outsiders?
In some ways, demons are the most self-centered beings in the world.

With a few exceptions, these self-centered individuals generally do not develop a concept of faith.

But do demons not have faith?
“That’s not the case!” Nemus plunged deep into his own sea of ​​faith.

After becoming the only god representing change in the possibilities of this world, Nemus gained more and more faith every moment.

However, there are not many people who actually proclaim the god of fiction.

Nems' own faith has not expanded that quickly.

"Change is the key!" Nems grasped the essence.

The moment people become aware of change, a subtle flow of faith emerges.

This is a fixed belief arising from the understanding of things themselves.

"Just as I expected, some changes in the abyss can also cause demons to develop faith."

"Of course, it's not that humans in the material plane are incapable, but rather... faith is exclusive."

"Just like saving a life, if you are saved normally, you will thank the person who saved you."

"But believers are different; they will thank their God for sending people to save them."

Therefore, while both involve spreading change, the demons in the abyss, who have no faith, focus on the change itself.

Believers of other gods in the material plane, however, would be grateful for the changes brought about by God.

The former's faith may shift to Nemes due to changes, while the latter's faith, with the exception of a small portion, will mostly be directed towards his god.

This is also the exclusiveness of faith.

"So I have to bring some shocking changes to the Abyss..." After realizing this, Nemus immediately contacted the will of the Abyss.

After transmitting some information, the will of the abyss immediately allowed Nemus to control it.

In any case, it's enough that Nemus is still the Demon Prince. Anyway, there are countless demons in the Abyss, one generation after another, so even if they all died, it wouldn't cause too much of a problem.

Not to mention, right now Nemus just wants to create some changes to speed up the collection of faith.

"Besides that, there are other emotions." Among the Seven Gods Alliance, there is a relatively special pantheon—the Fury Pantheon.

This pantheon does not tend to develop beliefs such as reverence, and has relatively few followers.

They harvest faith with disaster and fear.

Nemus had previously killed those Discipline Saints in an experiment of this.

With endless fiction and variation, they manipulate those people at will.

This causes them to undergo terrifying changes, to perceive everything as an illusion, leading to mental madness and plunging them into ultimate fear.

As it turns out, it was quite effective.

The few dead saints are one thing, but those few seedlings left behind by Nemster are still contributing 'Fear Faith' in an endless stream.

Overwhelmed by the fear of change, they became a machine for producing faith.

In terms of efficiency, they are slightly more efficient than devout believers.

But because they are so terrified, they are prone to sudden suicide at certain times, or to complete mental breakdown and brain death.

The scrap rate is relatively high.

When a real thing frightens you, your mind will be consumed by fear.

At this point, fear can actually suppress the exclusivity of faith.

"So-called faith is essentially the importance of this thing in a person's heart."

"The greater the importance, the more faith will be generated."

“Attracting his attention with special phenomena is one method, making him believe in you is another method, and making him fear you is yet another method.”

Nems' understanding of faith became increasingly clear at this moment.

They gradually gave up on pursuing the path of the Fury pantheon.

The essence of the Fury pantheon is actually that of evil gods.

For example, the God of Storms. Some people are so terrified of him that they are scared half to death by even the slightest breeze and then kneel down to pray.

By adopting the demeanor of an evil god and transforming one's own divinity into a terrifying image to bind oneself to, and frantically intimidating those people, one can indeed gain faith in a short period of time.

Can……

“This kind of faith would be ‘pure’.” Nemes extracted a certain amount of the three faiths.

One type is a 'fictional faith' specifically targeting Nemes, which is mixed with too much personality cult.

It is extremely easy to convert it into divine power, and Nemus has a very high degree of control over it.

The second type is the fear belief acquired earlier, which is simply a fear of a certain thing.

The content is even less impressive than those personality cults.

The transformation into divine power and the degree of control are both quite good.

The third type of belief is the belief in the perception of change.

Transforming this kind of faith into divine power is the most difficult thing.

Because it contains too much of the thoughts and understanding of others, it needs to be burned and refined with "divine fire," and it takes a certain amount of time to transform it.

However, as their numbers increase, their divinity is slightly enhanced.

However, the degree of control is also low, requiring a certain amount of mental effort to unify and control it, and if the divinity is insufficient, there is also the risk of backlash.

"This path is the least efficient, but has the highest potential!"

"Taking the long way is the shortcut!" (End of Chapter)
