Devil's Bible

Nems was naturally not going to be fooled by such a minor feature.

He is now carefully sensing the power emanating from his characteristics.

The so-called characteristics are simply a kind of trait.

The characteristics of Nemus and his group are formed by the aggregation of special things such as traits and characteristics.

In essence, traits are the embodiment of rules.

Everything exists under rules, and its essence is composed of rules and matter.

Some rules stand out, and thus become characteristics in people's eyes.

Then, through various means, whether learning or inheritance, these traits are combined to form characteristics.

If you observe most people in the world, you will find that black stone varieties have virtually no characteristics, not even any distinguishing features.

Occasionally, some people are born with superhuman strength, which is considered a special trait, and that is already remarkable.

Therefore, the little devils with these special characteristics are truly 'terrifying demons' to most people.

This is why paladins need to rely on arcane arts that may damage their potential to gain temporary traits.

The same applies to steel products.

Most people, except for nobles, do not have any special characteristics. At most, they can acquire some traits through meditation and breathing techniques.

That was a special case for Nemes back then.

Only after entering the Golden Seed can various characteristics be condensed, and there is also the "Golden Key," a tool-type characteristic specifically used to extract and refine traits.

However, the problem remains: the scope is too broad.

From having only one or two characteristics, to needing to recognize and consolidate those characteristics on one's own.

Most steel-type steel plants, after being fortunate enough to become gold-type steel plants, immediately give up on further improvement.

The difficulty of obtaining the "Golden Key" is too great. It takes one or two hundred years to develop a single feature, which is exhausting.

At this moment, Nemus finally realized that all of this was due to the lack of the Silver Seed transitional phase.

There are several specialized terms in alchemy.

Blackening, whitening, yellowing, and reddening.

Corruption, death, and dissolution represent the decomposition of alchemical materials.

Albinism represents purification, purity, and spirituality, signifying the refinement of alchemical materials.

Yellowing is the infusion of soul and spiritualization, representing the enlightenment and transformation of alchemical materials.

Reddening represents life, perfection, and unity, signifying the final result of alchemy.

In this process, yellowing and reddening are generally regarded as one.

For this reason, the Philosopher's Stone, the highest achievement in alchemy, is generally considered to be red.

There is also a legend that the Philosopher's Stone can turn stone into gold and change the nature of things.

From an alchemical perspective, black stone is now considered a 'raw material'.

Upon reaching the Steel type, it began to turn evil.

Its own number is being continuously developed and transformed into numerical value.

When the steel grade reaches its maximum value, the development is complete.

Next, for the steel seed to become the gold seed, it needs to absorb external elements, purify its own values, and then condense and fuse to complete the sublimation.

From this perspective, it's as if albino, yellowing, and redning are all concentrated on breaking through this one hurdle.

No wonder breaking through to the Golden Seed level is so difficult.

And even after making a breakthrough, it's difficult to continue down that path.

Because of the lack of a transitional phase, apart from a few geniuses, the rest basically relied on resources and luck to get through.

If you possess the Silver Seed, then everything is just right. The Silver Seed process is albinism. In this stage, you begin to recognize yourself, your characteristics and traits, and then purify and refine what you need.

Part of the yellowing process can also begin at this time.

While becoming a gold-level seed is still difficult, at least you no longer need to gamble on luck.

The current Lord of the Desolate Tomb is a prime example of this.

He used only ghoul-related cards, and his own number was constantly 'refined and purified' by the ghoul characteristic.

Various ghoul traits appeared on him.

If we were to place him in the real world now, given his current state, even without consuming too much external energy, he could immediately complete the purification process and enter the metamorphosis phase, with a very high probability of becoming a golden seed.

Even Cat Sister is the same; she's relatively worse off and might need to find some external help or take some medicine, but the difference isn't significant.

“It’s not that their talent is really that good, but that the Silver race paved the way for them to become Gold races.” Nemus tapped the table lightly with his fingers as he sensed the path of the Silver race.

The sound of the tapping kept changing, becoming sharper and sharper, like a sword being wielded and transformed.

Core cards can be used freely without needing to draw cards.

At this moment, the secrets of swordsmanship are revealed under Nemus's strikes.

Even those who were initially indifferent couldn't help but look this way.

In particular, a person wearing full armor immediately turned around, and there seemed to be a sword intent flowing around him.

The Lord of Arazuka, who had been gnawing on the unknown object, slowed down as he felt the food in his hand becoming prickly.

Aratsuka Master, who had stopped moving, lowered his hand, and only then did the food he was eating appear in front of Nemus.

It was a huge bone, with some dead gray flesh and remnants of gelatinous skin on it.

Ghouls arose because humans had no food and chose to feed on the corpses of their own kind; monsters born under this taboo.

Among these monsters is the monster of monsters—the King of Ghouls.

The ghoul king no longer feeds on human corpses, but instead feeds on other ghouls.

Even in the Prime Material Plane, such special monsters are relatively rare.

When the Ghoul King stopped, Nemus's tapping fingers also stopped.

As the swords clashed, the armored man sensed a crucial change. The sudden pause created a sense of unease, and he couldn't help but look at the Lord of the Desolate Tomb.

"It was just a test." The Lord of Arazuka also felt resentful.

He was just testing Naimus, the stranger who had come to the table.

It's not his fault that the other party cut off the passage.

“We’ll talk more later.” Nemus said with a smile to the armored man, who was also one of the five leaders, the Lord of War, and then turned to the Lord of the Arazuka: “You’ve affected my appetite, so I’ll just affect you in return.”

Upon hearing what Nems said, the warlord nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Nems.

The Lord of the Desolate Tomb quickly suppressed his gluttonous aura and stopped causing trouble.

The move Nemes made earlier has already proven too much.

At that moment, another person entered from outside.

This person was dressed in hemp clothing, and his aura was not obvious.

He walked in, looked around, and then casually sat down next to the Lord of Arazuka.

This made the Lord of Arazuka, who had just suffered a slight setback, feel somewhat uneasy.

I have this feeling that I'm going to be the one who gets taken advantage of.

However, he was no longer in the mood to test the waters and simply lowered his head and began to eat heartily.

This surprised the man. (End of Chapter)
