Devil's Bible

Within the church, there are far too many instances of people at the bottom not being treated as human beings.

It has become so prevalent that it has become a form of spiritual pollution.

In that pollution, Dina gradually lost sight of herself.

He had no choice but to leave the church and begin his own travels.

However, the more he traveled in this world, the more he understood this: he couldn't change anything.

Reality dealt him a cold, painful blow.

In contrast, Nemus was directly sacrificed and then entered the abyss.

Although he was woken up in the most brutal way, he never experienced the gradual cooling of his heart.

So even though Nemus fell directly into the abyss, he still retained a trace of humanity.

On the contrary, Dina has been completely lost.

This difference is similar to that of Moro.

In subsequent experiences, the deviation will gradually become more and more significant.

Until now.

Although the two still share many similarities, they are fundamentally different people.

This difference, at this moment, clearly tore apart the distinction between them.

And this is precisely what allowed Nemes to get another 'iteration'.

“The essence of true spirits is different, and the path of fusion has once again been proven to be ineffective.”

Nemus had previously decided that fusion was not an option for various reasons, which is why he did not want to further fuse with Dina.

Now, however, Nemes has completely rejected this idea, acting entirely from his own heart and nature.

This understanding of the true spirit, the self, and thoughts and destiny further propelled Nems' transformation.

This change stirred the true spirit deep within Nems' soul.

At that very moment, Nemus could sense that the liberation of the true spirit had begun once again.

And Naims gradually developed a premonition.

The true spirit can only be released three times.

To be precise, it was a liberation of three different degrees.

After the third and deepest liberation, the essence within the true spirit will be fully acquired by itself.

Both the Sun God and the Dina before them may have previously unleashed their true spirits.

However, they only carried out the first or second liberation.

As they find their own path, the true spirit becomes an obstacle on their path.

That's why I had to let go of the true spirit and stop holding on to it.

At this moment, Nemus did not sense any negative impact that the release of the true spirit would have on him.

Therefore, in terms of the outcome, perhaps I am the one most suited to the true spirit.

Dina was unaware of Nems' transformation.

But Dina knew that she had now entered a 'troublesome' situation.

First, as time goes by, his power will only grow stronger with each deployment.

In other words, as long as they drag it out, they are bound to win.

After all, Silver City was his home turf, and he had a huge advantage there.

Nemes was merely an individual connected through the sacrifice of Dartmenley. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some time to spare, and the urging of the main destiny, Nemes would have arrived at a crucial juncture.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Nemus could affect his alchemical ritual.

"Whether it was a decade or two earlier, or a few months later, I have countless ways to crush him."

"But at this crucial point, everything is just too embarrassing for me."

This is Dinai's first predicament, as most of his power is devoted to maintaining the alchemical ritual.

At this moment, although the forces available to them are increasing thanks to their arrangements, a swift kill is still very difficult.

Secondly, Dina understood one thing very well: never underestimate 'Nemus'. One of the most powerful characteristics of True Spirits is their growth potential.

The true spirit is a miracle from another world.

This miracle is mysterious; it's as if there's a fire within, constantly propelling the soul to burst forth with upward momentum.

Even if he lost his true spirit, its influence on him still exists.

As time goes by, even though he has rotted away and the flower of his ideals has long since withered, he still retains the spirit of striving for progress and growth.

In comparison, Nems will only have more.

This growth potential is precisely the most dangerous quality.

Because given time, Naim will always be able to develop some special abilities.

Then, amidst the enemy's exclamations of impossibility, they turned the tide and secured victory.

However, it was Dina herself who accomplished all of this.

Now, he has changed positions.

He was no longer the victor who turned defeat into victory, but someone whose fate was about to be overturned.

Dina was extremely clear about one thing at that moment.

If he had followed the plan step by step, thinking that he could have relied on the passage of time to gradually recover his strength and then crush Nemus.

Then he himself would definitely lose.

And they will lose completely.

He will be just like those enemies he defeated back then, slowly being overwhelmed by Nemus's growth potential, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.

So at this moment, Dina is looking for a way. He can't cling to that false goal of victory, thinking that dragging things out will definitely lead to a win.

Caught between two conflicting situations, this is the awkward predicament Dina currently faces.

A quick victory is not possible, nor can the conflict be prolonged.

"Now I finally know how painful it must have been for those enemies to face me back then." Despite the dire situation, Dina still managed to crack a self-deprecating joke.

And in the process, Dina actually came up with a solution.

He is also growing.

The crisis brought about by Nemes, a newcomer, spurred Dina on.

He discovered that his strength had stagnated since he had grown to be just one step away from becoming a mythical species within the possibilities of his own world.

The possibility of arriving in the world of Nemus has been over six hundred years since the time of Hodatmenti.

For over six hundred years, its strength has not increased.

Facing Nems, he began to undergo a kind of transformation.

Even so, because of the fusion with another True Spirit, it cannot truly become a Mythical Species.

However, the breadth of his power is rapidly expanding.

"Yes, this is alchemy and destiny."

"The fact that the other party came here by means of Datmenley's curse was not a coincidence, but an inevitability under the influence of fate."

“I deceived Dartmenley and made him bear the curse, which naturally attracted his descendants.”

"The second generation of Datmenley left behind methods that caused Moro to go astray."

"It delayed the progress of my alchemical ritual."

"And finally, Nems arrived here."

"And all of this is essentially part of an alchemical ritual."

"I want to forge the Philosopher's Stone to kill any deviations or impurities in the fusion process."

“Then we must truly kill another ‘True Spirit’.”

"Equivalent exchange means that the superior treats the inferior as the superior, and the inferior treats the superior as the inferior."

At this very moment, Dina's understanding of alchemy was rapidly increasing.

In this way, he touched upon the realm of God. (End of Chapter)
