Devil's Bible

The Goddess of Discipline naturally devoted some of her attention to the situation here.

Whoever gets this piece of destiny will have their fate in the balance of power in the upcoming battles of the Astral Plane.

Such is the tablet of fate.

This thing is a 'declaration' of fate regarding the rules of the world, representing fate's nominal sovereignty over the entire world.

This thing has a deep 'relationship' with deflection force, and the more you acquire, the more it represents the world.

The reason why this thing broke in the first place would probably have remained a mystery to Nemus for the rest of his life if he hadn't found the answer in the memories of the Goddess of Discipline.

Fate establishes its rules through the Tablet of Fate, which is the key to coordinating other rules.

The existence of the rule that deflection force cannot be transmitted to the new world allows us to roughly determine whether the Tablet of Fate was intact during the elemental chaos.

At that time, fate also used clay tablets to establish rules.

Given Fate's high position at that time, theoretically no force could directly act on the Fate Tablet to shatter it.

But there are always exceptions in the world, and that exception is the abyss.

During the period of elemental chaos, the possibilities of the world began to emerge, and the Abyss, as a calamity, possessed the power to traverse the possibilities of the world.

As differentiation occurred, the abyss began to spread.

The abyss that had been gathered together erupted.

In this situation, all the gods need to do is unite once again to suppress the abyss.

However, this is precisely the critical moment for the struggle for deflection force.

When fate summoned the gods, those who were unaware of the existence of the deflecting force were alright, but those with 'powerful divine power' hesitated.

Unlike now, back then everyone had very limited deflection force.

Any amount of deflection force can bring about a dramatic improvement.

Driven by self-interest rather than a sense of responsibility, these deities all chose to slow down.

Although they also dealt with the abyss disaster, they focused more on the struggle for deflection force.

Seeing this, Fate had no choice but to use its clay tablets to enforce the rules, allowing these deities to fulfill their responsibilities.

Faced with this urging, the gods did indeed begin to fight, but they still employed many underhanded tactics.

It was at this time that some deities had the wild idea of ​​trying to obtain the number of destiny, hoping to become the god of destiny.

Perhaps it was because of the precedent of the god of wisdom that the other party believed that it was possible to control the destiny.

They believed that the number of destiny was stored in the Destiny Tablet, and that one could extract the number of destiny simply by obtaining the Destiny Tablet.

Based on this understanding, the other party did something both extremely clever and foolish.

During his battle with the Abyss, he chose to violate a special rule—that gods cannot descend into the material plane.

It's unclear how that deity and the abyss coordinated, but in any case, the deity successfully descended with the help of the abyss's power.

The price of disrupting the rules is being punished by fate, and the tablet of fate will appear to carry out this punishment.

It was at this moment that the deity chose to seize the Tablet of Destiny.

Up to this point, it was nothing more than a delusional god overestimating his abilities to touch a power that was simply impossible for him to control.

The result would only be complete 'judgment' by fate, the loss of divinity, the loss of divine status, and even the erasure of their very existence. However, it was precisely at this moment that those powerful divine forces, in order to compete for the deflection force, rapidly pushed the degree of the deflection state.

At that time, the entire world became unstable.

Fate seemed to have sensed something and wanted to establish rules to stabilize the situation.

But at that very moment, the tablet of fate seemed to have touched something, and the formation of rules nearly came to a standstill.

Through this memory, Nemes discovered the key—the fragment.

That thing, which also comes from the outer universe, can observe fate, regard it as various kinds of energy, and then exchange those energies that represent fate through contact, trade, and other means.

The violent fluctuations of fate triggered the fragments in that instant—this is Nemus's conjecture, because at that time the Fate Tablets were in a state of vaporization, which made the Fate Tablets structurally unstable.

The reckless god reached out and grabbed the Tablet of Fate, unleashing all his divine power in an attempt to obtain its contents.

The will of the abyss intervened at that time, burning a large number of sinful souls, and countless fragments gushed out from the abyss.

The rules were broken, the deviation increased sharply, and with the eruption of the abyss, the gaseous transformation caused by the fragments, and the attack of the god who dared to do stupidity, everything seemed to come together.

The clay tablet of fate, which originally maintained all the rules, has now developed cracks.

The moment the crack appeared, every single one of the powerful deities who noticed it seized the opportunity and rushed to snatch the Tablet of Destiny while it was still vulnerable.

Fate broke free from the influence immediately, erasing the reckless deity, but it was already too late.

In their struggle for the clay tablets, the powerful deities used their deflecting forces at that time. The Destiny Tablet was attacked by these deflecting forces, and the power of world division acted on the cracks in the tablets.

The final result was the shattering and fragmentation of the Tablets of Destiny, and... the collapse of the world!

Including the possibility of the world where Nemus mainly resides, there are a total of eighteen world possibilities.

Therefore, other deities refer to it as number eighteen.

But now, there are only sixteen possibilities in the entire world.

One possible world was destroyed due to the Earth God's attempts and the eventual battle with the Storm God.

The other one was sunk during the struggle for the Tablet of Destiny.

The moment the tablets of fate shattered, the gods did not consider the consequences; they were simply overjoyed that the shackles of fate that bound them were gone.

Then, amidst the joy, came the scramble for the various fragments.

At this time, the God of Discipline discovered that a large part of the movement had been swept into the abyss.

This kind of involvement might not even have been noticed by the Abyss Consciousness itself.

After all, the fragments of clay tablets are difficult to see without direct observation.

At that time, a large number of fragments emerged from the abyss again, so it's normal that the will of the abyss didn't notice them.

The God of Discipline marked the matter near the fragment at that time.

Ultimately, through the changes and shifts in the markings over countless years, the location where that fragment might exist today was determined.

At this time, the gods gained a deeper understanding of the fragments of fate.

As the end times approached, the gods, though still not believing the world would immediately be destroyed, began to worry.

And so, that's how that happened—the God of Discipline was cast into the abyss! (End of Chapter)
