Devil's Bible

A promotion pushed two powerful gods into a desperate situation.

The Storm God became a suppressed and restrained 'evil demon'. If he could not handle Nemus's attacks, he would be dealt with directly. The problem quickly expanded to all possibilities in all worlds.

The goddess of discipline was stripped of her 'sovereignty' over the rules of change from the very beginning.

Even though most of the possible changes in the divine status in the world now belong to the Commandments, if he cannot seize the critical moment when Nemus has just become an ancient god and is not yet familiar with the power, acquire the 'True Spirit', and complete the ultimate iteration of his own Great Spiral, then he has no future.

The Path of the Ancient Gods is indeed an abandoned path, but it is undeniable that this path is more likely to cause harm than good.

With its control over the rules, it has essentially cut off any possibility of a changing future.

Anyone who obtains the Godhood of Change will not live a peaceful life unless Nemus allows it.

In this situation, the goddess of discipline had no other choice.

So, while the God of Storms was pondering how to deal with the Nameless Wind, the Goddess of Discipline intervened.

She revealed the cards she had been holding back all along.

A surging deflection force was injected into her current body.

As the second most powerful divine force capable of deflection, she has now accumulated enough influence, and her deflection power is gradually entering the possibilities of this world.

Most importantly, there was that fragment of fate.

At this moment, another fragment appeared here, drawn by some force, and then quickly pieced together with it.

The fragment of fate, which originally numbered less than one-thirtieth, is now being rapidly pieced together.

Soon, a fragmented object, which already showed some characteristics of the clay tablet, was pieced together.

Judging from its shape, this fragment of fate has already reached about one-ninth or one-eighth of its original weight.

"Nemus, you won't get ahead of me by stepping over me!" The Goddess of Discipline held the fragment of fate, her unwavering will driving everything forward.

The entire star realm immediately began to fluctuate.

"She's actually collected so many fragments?!" Nemus was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

Change certainly has an advantage in these kinds of things.

Fragments of fate, each one of which cannot be observed through indirect means.

Even without direct contact, the fragment is essentially just an ordinary lump of mud, and its outward power is very restrained.

However, if someone accidentally comes into direct contact with the mud, they can acquire enough properties to cause a 'change'.

Such changes, once significant enough, are likely to attract the attention of the God of Discipline.

Everything in this world has a predetermined limit.

While unprovoked changes may not always attract the attention of the God of Discipline, over a longer period of time, the chances of the God of Discipline noticing them are always greater.

This is why the probability of the God of Discipline finding the fragments of the Tablet of Fate has increased rapidly.

If Andron, who allowed Nemus to obtain the Destiny Mudspot, hadn't lost his divine status due to Nemus's trickery, he probably would have continued jumping and been discovered by the God of Discipline soon, and the mudspot would have been taken away.

Nems now has a greater grasp on change, and with a thought, he quickly identified the 'abnormal individuals'.

These individuals all suddenly became powerful, or rather, they became powerful with an abnormally linear efficiency.

Then I did a brief analysis.

Most of them obtained fragments of divine artifacts or were drawn into the schemes of the gods, similar to Mocania back then.

Because they were pawns, they could grow stronger so quickly. Nemus then eliminated these people and proceeded with further screening.

Some of them rose to prominence because they suddenly discovered their talents and were lucky enough to obtain the right resources.

For example, when Nemes spread the Sword of Fortune, it created many similar 'lucky ones'.

In addition, there is the unexpected sensing of a special phenomenon, which grants powerful characteristics and makes one stronger.

Others are the good deeds of mythical beings.

With a quick thought, Nems had already thoroughly investigated and eliminated all of these issues.

Only a few dozen individuals remained who had become stronger for no apparent reason.

Among these dozens, there must be some that were secretly orchestrated by the gods, or some other phenomena that Nemus is not yet aware of.

For example, through a subtle change, Naims discovered that a person's ability to rapidly become stronger was entirely due to their alignment with a global phenomenon—being undetected equates to power.

This person inexplicably obtained information some time ago that, as an insignificant member of a noble family, as long as he could maintain his weak image and remain undiscovered, he could continue to grow stronger.

Therefore, he maintained the image of being a good-for-nothing in the family for a long time, and even when he was bullied in every way, he would not reveal his golden power.

They will only act secretly and quietly.

Furthermore, they wouldn't target those close to them, fearing that if everyone around them were to suffer an accident, the problem would be discovered.

Of course, the moment Nemus observed him, he was horrified to discover that his power was rapidly 'evaporating'.

He desperately wanted to find the person who discovered him, because only by killing that person could he regain his power.

Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to do that.

Following this line of thought, Nemes discovered a higher rule that was rarely observed—the unknown.

There is very little of the unknown left in the narrow sense.

And those unknowns that belong unique to individuals have become the mainstream.

This is why his existence conforms to unknown rules, concealing his own power. The longer he remains hidden, the more people know about him but fail to discover his strength, and the more powerful he becomes.

There are many similar rules.

Nemes even discovered people who were naturally aligned with the rules of 'hope' and were born with a slight ability to influence the course of history.

As time goes by, it will undoubtedly become a legendary species.

Nemus quickly scanned the area and indeed found several individuals who appeared to have obtained the Fate Slime.

However, further investigation will require some time and effort.

As for now...

The Goddess of Discipline had appeared before Nemus, and a large amount of brownish-red energy swept towards Nemus.

On the tablet of destiny, the maxim about destiny related to thought is exceptionally clear.

At that moment, Nems also realized the problem; his thoughts were being touched in some way.

A net appeared between the goddess of discipline and Nemus.

Within the grid, Nemus suddenly sensed the thoughts of the Goddess of Discipline.

Of course, along with this, Nemus's thoughts were sensed and perceived by the Goddess of Discipline. (End of Chapter)
