American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

In the corridor, Vicky, who was passing by, was confused to see Angel pulling a hellhound away with a strange smile.

She walked into Dane's office and handed him the latest exchange performance report.

Just as Dane thought, a lot of demons were attracted to the Dream Exchange. In just a few days, the exchange was packed with demons who wanted to experience it.

If the payment method was changed to money, Dane would have been promoted to the richest man in hell at the fastest speed.

But as a demon from hell, material money is worthless waste paper to Dane. He believes that hell should regain its glorious traditions of the past, and souls should be the only currency in this world.

To this end, he also has a large-scale experiment he wants to do in this hell.

Since hell has developed to the level of civilization with modern technology, why do we still use paper money? Why not use more convenient digital currency?

Dane did some market research and discovered the reason.

Digital currency itself relies more on a complete credit system than paper currency, but credit is a luxury in hell.

Perhaps there are some trustworthy companions among the demons, but considering the entire environment of hell, very few demons are willing to trust a completely unfamiliar demon.

Even the current monetary system was established with great difficulty through the joint efforts of Lucifer, other noble demons, and ring masters. It took the entire hell a long time to establish such a system.

However, such a monetary system has basically exhausted the credit of the entire hell, and it is unrealistic to launch digital currency.

Unless Dane can come up with something else to replace the existing monetary system, Dane doesn't quite understand why the currency in the human world is either tied to gold or to oil, and tying it to credit is something that is only done in a relatively late stage of development.

How could Hell be so brave? He actually achieved his goal in one go?

Is their currency tied to something else besides credit?

Otherwise, it was hard for Dane to imagine that these demons would obediently accept the credit exchange.

In order to figure out the problem, he asked Cortana to check all the network base stations in the entire hell and review all the server information inside. Finally, after big data analysis, he finally found the thing.

"Angel dust?"

Dane looked at the small bag of powder in his hand with curiosity. The packaging gave him some bad associations.

Cortana met Dane's gaze and nodded affirmatively.

Dane was speechless at the time. Angel dust, this thing with a nice name is actually a stimulant that can stimulate the central nervous system of the devil, which is a blasphemous drug.

And then Dane suddenly remembered that Angel's full name, Angeldest, means angel dust, doesn't it?

He seems to be a heavy addict of angel dust...

Although Dane had imagined that hell would have its own general equivalent, he never imagined that the general equivalent here would be something like this.

It has a very hellish character.

And he could also understand why those demons took this kind of thing so seriously.

Hell is not an easy place to live. Although most of the sinners who go to hell are those who have committed unforgivable sins, they are not necessarily capable people.

If you don't have the ability to survive in a place like hell where demons eat demons, you will become prey to other demons.

Even powerful demons will experience the evil of human nature in this world, which is more cruel than that in the human world. Betrayal, killing, illness, hunger, poverty and other misfortunes in the human world are all in the US version here.

So for ordinary demons, maintaining life itself is a very difficult thing, which forces them to find something to help them escape from these pains.

And the blasphemous substance is the best medicine to relieve their pain. For many demons, they can go without food, but they cannot go without breathing angel dust.

Therefore, this kind of blasphemous product has become the most trustworthy commodity recognized by the demons...

Like blasphemous substances in the human world, angel dust can also poison the brains of demons. However, whether they are sinner demons or native demons, they actually don’t need to worry about this. Their recovery ability is fully capable of withstanding the poisoning of this thing.

So angel dust is as common in hell as cigarettes and alcohol.

By the way, the Greed Ring is an important industrial production base of Angel Dust, but Angel Dust’s industry is not controlled solely by Mammon.

It is actually an industry jointly held by all the major forces in hell. Mammon cannot completely take it into his own hands, and he dare not arouse public anger.

But this proves Dane's idea. If he wants to convert the demons in hell, it is not impossible, but it is extremely difficult and the success rate is too low.

Even if it succeeded, Dane suspected that the souls who completed their atonement would eventually fall back into depravity because of breaking the rules in heaven.

From the beginning, Dane knew that what Charlie was doing was a thankless task.

Back to the issue of currency, Dane disdains the existing hell currency because this money actually has the same function as that in the human world.

But even if Dane didn't have the money, he wouldn't lack material resources. Resource allocation is a game for the strong. As long as he still has the violence to overturn the table, he wouldn't worry about the lack of these things.

Angel dust as a general equivalent is actually very superficial because it is not a non-renewable resource and it is actually a consumable that consumes a lot of energy, making it difficult to maintain interest rate stability.

In other words, the demons do not rely entirely on the operation of the economic system to tolerate the current bad financial environment.

To address these pain points, Dane has found a new general equivalent that is extremely stable and will not be consumed in large quantities like angel dust. It will greatly change the way Hell trades and will also help Dane in his quest for the souls of Hell's creatures.

Dane's new "currency" of choice for the demons is their souls themselves!

"Soul" is the most important essential dependence of a living being, so its value can be recognized by all demons, and every demon is born with these currencies, but due to the different levels of life, the amount of currency they possess is also different.

From the moment Dane became the God of Death, he understood that the souls of all living things are essentially the same, and there is actually no distinction between high and low.

Even from a scientific point of view, the "soul" is essentially a substance, a basic substance that participates in the construction of life, and is essentially no different from things like amino acids and protein molecules.

If Dane's vision could penetrate the quantum fog and see through the uncertainty principle, then he would be able to see the basic constituent particles of the soul. At that time, even if he did not have the power of death, he would be able to perform in-depth processing on the soul.

Since the basic constituent particles of the soul are the same, it means that they can also be used for material exchange.

By processing the soul of each demon in some way so that it can exhibit quantum characteristics, the soul can be changed from a complete state to pieces, and material exchange can be carried out on a macroscopic level.

Dane wants to try to quantify the souls of the demons, so that the quality of their souls can be expressed in digital form. The amount of souls is the amount of wealth, and any of their transactions can be settled through souls.

Only then can Dane's act of accumulating wealth be transformed into an act of plundering the power of hell, and this production activity will become meaningful to him.

But he cannot achieve this by himself alone. If the promotion of any popularization plan cannot get the active participation of all demons, then it will inevitably be difficult to roll out.

Dane had calculated that in order to realize this plan, he needed those demons to voluntarily sign a magic contract, which could not be replaced by a forced contract.

Because monetizing souls means that the subject and object are not just Dane and the other demons, but the sum of all demons, this kind of contract cannot be enforced.

For example, Dane can force others to trade with him through a compulsory contract, but he cannot force others to trade with others through a contract. This requires the initiative of others, and the contract cannot force this to happen.

Dane can force the other party to obey his own interests, but he cannot force the other party to sacrifice himself to obey the interests of another demon. This would violate the free will of life and the underlying logic of contract magic.

So, in order to solve this problem, Dane needs all of Hell to work together to advance this plan.

Just like when human society wants to promote a law, it is not enough for one person to make it on the spur of the moment; the entire society must be willing to cooperate.

Otherwise it is just a piece of paper and has no effect.

This is also the reason why Dane wanted to subdue Stolas after seeing his magic book. As a member of the demon nobles, Dane can completely extend his claws to other demon nobles by controlling him.

In this way, he would not be violating the agreement with Lucifer and would achieve his goal by using methods within the rules.

Dane checked and found that there was no positioning magic on this magic book. Stolas, the devil, was really careless. Wasn't he afraid that those little devils would lose the book?

But apparently Stolas also has his own way to find the location of the magic book. Vicky suddenly walks into his office and tells him that the demon of the Goetia family is visiting.

"Let him in."

The image of Stolas is as described in the Book of Solomon, that of an owl, a four-eyed owl.

"I believe you have taken what belongs to me, sir."

Stolas didn't seem angry when they first met, even though he had reason to be.

He was different from the demons Dane had seen before. He had an innate aristocratic air. If one had to describe it, he was a bit like Lucifer, but still a little worse.

Since he was asking for help, Dane's attitude was unusually good. He stretched out his hand and used his telekinesis to move a sofa over.

"Please take a seat."

Stolas sat down without much hesitation.

Seeing this, Vicky tactfully went downstairs to serve tea.

Dane first returned the magic book in his hand to Stolas. He had already read the entire book and knew all its contents by heart, so it didn't matter whether it was in his hand or not.

Stolas had not expected it to be so smooth, so he quickly took the book, flipped it open and took a look, a subtle expression on his face.

In addition to the original notes, there were some other handwritings in the book, and it was obvious that they came from Dane.

Because demons with insufficient strength have no ability to leave any words on it, Dainlu's move not only shows his strength, but also his magical attainments, which makes Stolas even more afraid to neglect it.

And he knew in his heart that Dane had asked Bilitz to find him this time not just to return the magic book to him and be done with it.

Sure enough, Dane spoke immediately afterwards.

"I believe you have all heard about me recently, but you probably don't know my real name."

Unlike the broadcasting demon who started to publicize his reputation after defeating the lord for the first time, there have always been rumors about Dane's identity, and specific information such as his name, identity, and origin are all mysteries.

"Here, let me introduce myself. You can call me Zansha. I come from another hell and am the ruler of another world."

Stolas was immediately shocked and immediately thought of something bad.

For example, things like foreign invasion.

And from the perspective of purpose, his idea is not wrong.

Chapter 390 The Road to Transcend Class

"Please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions towards your hell."

Believe in you!

Stolas didn't believe a word Dane said, but as a mature demon noble, he had to be submissive.

Therefore, he could only nod and believe what Dane said.

Dane could see Stolas's distrust, so in order to gain his trust, he had to use Lucifer's name. Anyway, it was impossible for him to refute Dane now.

"You don't have to be so wary of me. Lucifer and I have an agreement that we will not use force to do anything to this hell, not to mention..."

Suddenly, an abyssal magical power gathered around him. It pressed down on Stolas's head like a mountain, and squeezed around his body, making him unable to move.

Dane's Moon Ring Eye brought Stolas a great sense of oppression, almost making him breathless. His four red magic eyes opened as wide as possible, with magical light flashing on them. He seemed to want to do something.

But his instinctive fear prevented him from moving, and he could only watch as Dane's magic eroded his body.

"Just as you feel now, if I wanted to do something, I could have done it long ago, and in all of Hell, except for Lucifer, no demon can stop me."

His magic was so persuasive that Stolas wanted to say, "I get it, sir. Please put away your magic power!"

I don’t know if it heard his thoughts, but the next moment, the heavy magic power suddenly receded like the tide.

Stolas got a chance to catch his breath and finally take a good rest.

In Stolas's impression, even his father could not achieve such terrifying magic.

Demons all have a tradition of admiring the strong, so Stolas' attitude became more respectful. He had to treat the other party as a big man like Lucifer.

"Very good, it seems that you have understood the current situation." Dane nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he said to Lucifer, hell is always a world where the strong are supreme, so when facing a single individual, even if there is no need to take action, just showing your level can still intimidate the other party.

This tactic was particularly effective in a hell where demons were more rational, as the Ironheads were a minority after all. 20 However, Stolas was different from other demons after all; he represented the ancient power of Hell, so Dane remained friendly.

"I asked you to come here in this way this time because I want to achieve something, which cannot be done without the help of the demon nobles."

Stolas said cautiously, "Actually, given your relationship with Lord Lucifer, you should be able to let him know. As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best!"

Just like the demon nobles were frightened by Lucifer's power, Stolas believed that with the nobles' flexible bottom line, they would agree to all of Dane's requests, as long as those requests were not too excessive.

Dane nodded. He felt that the other party had made the promise too quickly, but since the other party had said so, he simply stopped hiding it and spoke directly.

"I have a different perspective on Hell's current financial markets and economic landscape. I hope to change the current monetary system..."

Stolas's eyelids twitched immediately. This was a major event that would shake the economy of all demons!

Is it really necessary to be so difficult right from the start?

Even though he is a member of the Goetia family, his weak arms and legs cannot withstand the anger of those nobles!

So he could only remind you implicitly: "I think you should think about this matter carefully..."

This reaction was within Dane's expectations, so he didn't care. However, this plan was related to whether he could successfully control Hell, so he would not give up.

Stolas felt very embarrassed, but suddenly he thought of something.

"Excuse me, have you discussed this matter with Lord Lucifer?"

Dane shrugged. "He probably won't be in Hell for a long time, so..."

Stolas shuddered. This short sentence revealed a huge amount of information.
