Devil's Bible

"Let's sign the contract."

“Become my subordinates, become my strength.” Nemus said, and several contracts appeared.

[Party A: Neil Datmenley; Party B: (To be determined)]

[Clause 1: Party A, Neil Dartmentley, promises to guarantee Party B's basic life and property safety.]

[Clause Two: In situations not involving certain death, Party B shall obey Party A's reasonable orders and shall be obligated to be loyal to Party A.]

[Clause 3: Party A will provide Party B with a certain level of professional guidance, and will plan for Party B's advancement or make reasonable arrangements for the division of financial benefits.]

[Clause Four: Party B shall not disclose any intelligence or information related to Niall through language, writing, behavior, suggestion, or other means.]

[Clause Five: This contract is a fidelity contract and may be terminated if either party breaches the contract or if both parties agree to terminate it.]

This was the loyalty pact drafted by Nemus, specifically designed to subdue his subordinates.

At this moment, Op and his six subordinates all had contracts in front of them.

As for the others?

There is no one else here.

Op took a deep breath, glanced at the contract in front of him, and then at Nems.

Meanwhile, the two swordsmen had already signed their names.

He joined Op's caravan because he couldn't defeat Aro, and now, upon seeing the third clause, he knew that he had to pledge allegiance to Nemus.

After witnessing Nemus's swordsmanship, he revered Nemus as a god!

“I…” Aro was about to speak.

“I’ll sign!” Op’s voice interrupted Aro: “Aro, you all sign the contract too.”

He knew what Aro wanted to say: that he would only be loyal to him.

However, Op also knew clearly that the moment the contract was laid out, neither he nor Aro had any other choice.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would know that Nemus could never be the same paladin Nair from before.

The existence of the customary contract has a very clear direction—the demon.

The atmosphere quickly eased as Op and his men signed the contract.

Nemus told Op to treat the halfling brothers, lest they die right after signing the contract.

Nemus himself, on the other hand, began to focus on the gains he would make from his next operation.

After all, he had signed seven contracts this time and forgiven seven people at once.

These seven people have all become nourishment for the improvement of their own discipline.

And perhaps this was the first time that the precepts were completed on a large scale at the same time, which changed the precepts as a result.

Chapter 53 Feedback Merge

[Identity 1]

[Main Commandment: Keeping the Oath]

[Discipline Feedback: (&#……#GW)]

[When precepts with numerous causal connections are completed simultaneously, and their feedback is aggregated, stronger characteristics can be formed. Could this be used to synthesize characteristics of higher quality?]

"So there are such changes?" Sensing the information transmitted by the divine spark, Nemus quickly understood the crux of the matter.

This is equivalent to merging similar items, thereby improving quality through quantity.

Nemus's divinity was incomplete, and there had been no such explanation before; this hint only appeared when they actually encountered it.

Furthermore, this feedback aggregation cannot be accomplished by the deity itself.

As Nemus made his choice, he felt the divine power begin to operate, and the discipline feedback power that would have formed separately was now partially melted.

Nemus was only stunned for a moment before he realized that some of the power had dissipated in the process of melting.

Therefore, Nemus could only quickly begin to respond, his own will and spirit penetrating deep into the divine, and then controlling the different commandment feedbacks to begin to merge.

During the integration process, some feedback indicates that the integration is not harmonious and that there may be mutual repulsion in the process.

However, if it is rejected, that part of the power will become unstable and then dissipate.

Nemus quickly adjusted his state and meticulously sensed the nature of those forces.

"Agility-based, skill-based, control-based..."

"All of these are traits related to these seven people."

"However, some of these traits do not blend well, so we have no choice but to give them up."

"Fortunately, the strength of these people is mostly concentrated."

With Nemus's manipulation, these special powers quickly began to merge.

Although the information arrived a step later after the fusion was completed, Nems already knew what the new characteristics were.

[Discipline Feedback: New Feature – (Ultimate Control): Your artifact has gained ultimate control. Both your control over the artifact and your control over other life forms after the artifact has parasitized them have been greatly enhanced.]

Nemus paused slightly, then with a flick of his hand, some tiny ropes appeared. These ropes then emerged around Nemus, quickly intertwining and coalescing into a humanoid figure not far from Nemus's own size.

Without using probing abilities to observe, it would be impossible to discover that this person was actually formed from ropes.

Most importantly, this humanoid artifact actually began to breathe, have a heartbeat, and exhibit a series of physiological functions.

If necessary, Nems can even control the other party's eating, digestion, and excretion.

This is partly due to Nemus's understanding of the human body, and partly due to his control over the instrument.

"With these, and combined with the bloodline connection I obtained from the old pastor, I might be able to further adjust the whale disease."

"We can even delve deeper into the manifestations of bloodline."

"Of course, these are all increases in power, but the key point is the change in the synthesis of the commandments this time." Nemus focused his attention on the change in the divine essence this time.

Undoubtedly, a complete deity possesses this function: gaining power by fulfilling numerous precepts and refining the commonalities of these powers to form stronger characteristics.

However, the Nemus Godhood is incomplete; although this part exists, it requires Nemus's methods to manipulate and complete.

“But this is actually a good thing.” Nemus was not annoyed that the Discipline Feedback was wasted in his immature synthesis; on the contrary, he saw the benefits.

“I used to know very little about divinity. Everything was done by the divinity on its own. I had no way to interfere.”

"But now it's different. I'm doing it myself, which has given me a deeper understanding of how divinity works."

The divine status itself is too advanced and has already been automated to a certain extent.

If Nemus had obtained the complete divine essence, he might have been able to quickly complete the transformation of the species, but the divine essence would always remain a black box for him.

A black box is a system in which the user judges how to use something based solely on its external inputs and outputs without understanding its internal workings.

Just like a mobile phone, most people don't know why a mobile phone can light up or why it has so many functions, so a mobile phone is a black box to them.

Beyond the black box, known systems and regions are referred to as the white box, while the partially observable region between the black box and the white box is called the gray box.

Now, the black box of divinity has been broken.

It has transformed from a black box into a gray box.

This means that Nemus is able to observe the inner workings of the divine nature by constantly operating it and examining its flawed mechanisms.

"Only in this way can I truly understand the principles of the formation of divinity step by step."

"That way, even if I lose this part of my divine status in the discipline one day, I might be able to reconstruct my own divine status in my own way."

Nemus composed himself slightly and then looked at his other harvest once more.

[Identity 2]

[Main Law: Forgiveness]

[Discipline Feedback: ("E#T#Y&")]

Does it possess the characteristic of... that allows for the synthesis of higher quality materials?

"Then let's begin!" Having made preparations, Nemus once again focused his energy on the divine spark, beginning the synthesis of the discipline feedback.

Unlike the characteristics of those acquired through contracts, Nemus discovered this time that the discipline feedback acquired by the Lord was more robust.

“I see. The feedback gained from keeping the oath comes from the oath itself. The discipline begins the moment they sign the contract, and all the gains are already in the contract. By fulfilling the oath and discipline, I am only ensuring that these gains will not disappear.”

“In this case, even if the other contract partner dies, as long as the contract is not broken, the power will still exist.”

“Just like Nair, he broke the contract, and after I took over his body, he came in accordance with the contract, so the power I gained from keeping my oath is still there.”

“Forgiveness, on the other hand, is different. The focus of forgiveness is to receive the blessings of other individuals. As long as the individual I forgive is alive, the blessings will continue to exist.”

Nemus observed one of the traits, which originated from Aro, and Nemus was able to roughly determine its type—to enhance attack power in some way.

Nemus grabbed another cluster of traits from the Dual Swordsman—the dual-wielding weapon enhancement—and fused the two together.

Throughout the process, the feedback did not dissipate due to resistance, unlike the feedback from keeping vows and precepts.

However, integration is extremely difficult, and there are always some areas where it cannot be fully integrated.

Once Nemus had roughly integrated all the feedback traits, this integration process was complete.

Chapter 54 God, please guide me!

Just as Nemes was testing his newly acquired traits, the old priest on the other side was getting a little impatient.

Op has been gone for some time now, and things shouldn't be too troublesome. He should have returned with the individual whales by now.

But there has been no movement at this moment.

"Something's gone wrong." The old pastor opened his eyes, ceasing his meditation; clearly, his mind was in turmoil.

“Op wouldn’t dare to run away.” The old pastor was very confident about this, because his experiment had encountered some problems back then, which caused some of the nest beasts to escape.

It was around that time that Op was parasitized, as Op had only recently come into contact with wizard meditation techniques.

Because he was a summoner, he was very sensitive to fluctuations, which is why he discovered the hive beast that was parasitizing him, which came from the old priest.

Unfortunately, at that time, Op was good at sensing, but not good at hiding.

His overly obvious mental fluctuations caught the old pastor's attention, and he was forcibly pulled into the chariot by the old pastor.

From then on, Op began working for the old pastor and became increasingly involved. The old pastor had knowledge of many of his illegal activities, and it was estimated that no one knew the Nest Beasts better than the old pastor.

If Op wants to resolve the problem of the nest beasts harming his body, then he will ultimately have to bow down to the old priest.

Under these circumstances, the old pastor could not think of any reason why Op would run away.

What the old pastor didn't know was that Nemes' arrival shattered everything.

First, there were Nemus's subordinates, who demonstrated Nemus's power and the assistance he provided.

Karl-Anthony Towns' development as a shepherd is simply the best advertisement.

Secondly, there's the effect achieved through Nemus's overall aura.

Its imposing presence was born from multiple fusions.

The aura of a different kind of demon, a genius paladin in his past life, and a new identity in this life are all combined.

In addition, there are many other characteristics that Nemus acquired through divinity and discipline.

In particular, his weapon has a characteristic called Father's Protection, which enhances abilities of the aura type.

These characteristics, working together, amplified Naim's momentum.

Ultimately, under Nemus's active control, this aura acquired its extremely unique oppressive force.

If Nemus hadn't possessed some divine qualities, he himself wouldn't have been able to create such an astonishing aura that even had a concrete effect.
