Please be my partner.

Melen did not conceal his breath, but did not enter the city directly. Instead, he let the golden retriever stop more than ten miles away from the demon main city.

This is certainly not because Melen is afraid, but because he wants to see if he can lure those demons out. After all, once a war breaks out, even if Melen is sure to subdue those demons, the aftermath of the battle will not be small. I am afraid that by then, there will be only a few of the hundreds of thousands of humans left in the demon city.

This is not what Mellen wants to see.

After noticing Mellen's actions, perhaps because they believed they were strong enough, or perhaps because the demons did not want to give up those hundreds of thousands of people and livestock, after a brief pause, more than a dozen powerful auras rushed out of the city and headed straight towards Mellen.

Soon, more than a dozen strange-looking monsters came closer, led by a giant bird with a wingspan of ten meters. Cold blue flames burned on its wings, and its eyes were extremely sharp. After seeing the combination of Mellen and Golden Hair, it was stunned for a moment, and then became extremely furious.

Seeing this scene, Mellen had an idea and was not in a hurry to take action. He wanted to see if he could get some useful information from the other party.

Just as Melen was pondering how to speak, the giant bird roared, "Damn traitor! As a demon, why did you want to get along with humans?! Are you trying to break the demon covenant?!"

These words were obviously spoken to the golden retriever. The "demon's agreement" in the latter sentence made Melen narrow his eyes slightly, and he smelled something unusual.

The golden retriever had no intention of paying any attention to the giant bird demon. To it, the master was the most important person, and it would bite whoever the master told it to bite.

However, Golden Hair soon received Mellen's instructions through the contract, and then shouted at the giant bird: "What 'Demon Covenant'?"

The giant bird was stunned and asked suspiciously, "You have reached the limit of a great demon and are only one step away from becoming a demon saint. Don't you know the 'Demon Pact' that the demon saints and devil saints have jointly made?"

"Hmph!" The giant bird snorted coldly and continued, "Then I'll tell you, the 'Demon and Demon Covenant' stipulates that our two races must work together to restrict humans, let alone mix with humans. If I report your behavior, it will inevitably attract punishment from the Demon Saint. If it's the Demon Saint who comes, your life may even be in danger!"

"Now you have a chance to redeem yourself from your crime. Just kill the human next to you, and I'll pretend that what happened before never happened."

The golden retriever had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent. This giant bird actually wanted it to attack its own owner. In the golden retriever's view, this was the latter's way to death.

However, Jinmao suppressed the urge to tear the giant bird apart immediately and said, "The Demon Saint personally punishes me? I wonder which Demon Saint is in charge here?"

"The Demon Saint who currently rules this world is..." The giant bird paused, looking at the golden-haired creature with even more suspicion. He then changed the subject, "First, kill the human beside you. After that, I will take you to meet the Demon Saint. With your strength, if you can receive his guidance, becoming a Demon Saint is just around the corner."

"Poof!~"

Mellen couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Your skill in painting cakes is too poor. You can't compare with those bosses who drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses."

The giant bird glanced at Mellen coldly, then looked at the golden-haired man and asked impatiently: "Why don't you take action? Do you want to face the wrath of the Demon Saint?!"

Melen suppressed his smile, realizing that he wouldn't be able to get any more information from words alone. He no longer wanted to tangle with these demons and whispered, "Soul synchronization."

"Roar!~"

The golden hair turned into a huge dark golden light and poured into Mellen's body. The terrifying aura spread wildly and swept in all directions.

Sensing this breath, all the demons present changed color.

When the light faded, Melen had transformed into a half-dragon, with dragon wings stretched out behind him, floating lightly in the air.

The giant bird stared at the scene in astonishment. Even though it was knowledgeable, it couldn't understand why an independent demon and a human could become a demon.

What made the giant bird feel even more strange was that the golden-haired demon was obviously stronger, but after the two merged, it seemed that the human took the initiative.

The giant bird seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became even more furious, shouting, "Damn human, how dare you enslave my demon race?!"

In the eyes of the giant bird, this should be the most reasonable explanation.

But Melen no longer intended to pay attention to the other party. He stretched out his palm, and immediately endless murderous aura gushed out, directly dyeing the entire world into a pitch-black color.

Sweeped by the murderous aura, all the demons, including the giant bird, froze in their places instantly, their faces filled with deep fear that had not yet spread.

The giant bird said in disbelief: "You...you are...a martial...saint..."

Mellen's expression was calm, and his palms were slightly closed, as if he was holding the entire world in his hands. From the perspective of the demons, this scene was like the human beings, who were originally very small to them, suddenly began to grow rapidly, and finally seemed to have transformed into the entire world, and they were just the small insects held in the palms of their hands.

Mellen is certainly not a Martial Saint, but after being in tune with the Golden Hair's soul, his physical strength has exceeded the legendary level, and he can mobilize some of the power of the Little Red Lotus.

Under the crushing of levels, these monsters whose strength is only at the legendary level are naturally like ants.

This is also the reason why Melen does not want to start a war in the demon main city. Even if he can kill these demons in an instant, the release of murderous aura alone is enough to kill a large number of humans.

Melen released his soul synchronization state and said to the golden haired man, "Go and clear out the demons in the demon city and try to avoid human casualties."

After receiving the order, Jinmao transformed into the form of a Dark Prison Dragon Dog and flew towards the Demon Main City.

Melen played with the black sphere in his hand for a moment. A group of demons were imprisoned in it. Although he had captured them alive, it was still a technical job to extract useful information from them.

Based on what the giant bird said before, Melen guessed that there were at least two saints in the disaster world, one was a demon and the other was a devil. The demon and the devil had an agreement to jointly restrain humans. Perhaps this was the reason for the disaster.

If there were only two demon saints, it would still be within Melen's response range, but if there were more demon saints hidden in the demon world, Melen would have no choice but to run away.

The most urgent task is to pry open the giant bird's mouth and obtain more information.

Just as Melen was lost in thought, the battle in the demon city had ended.

Because the situation changed so quickly, the demons in the Demon City had not even reacted yet and had no chance to flee. They were directly killed by the Golden Hair.

Moreover, after noticing the change, some human martial arts masters with red scarves wrapped around their wrists immediately took action to appease other humans and eliminate the fish that had escaped the net. They would use thundering means against anyone who dared to rob at this critical juncture.

It was this series of timely actions that quickly reduced the chaos in the Demon City, which had not yet begun, to an acceptable level.

After Mellen's massacre, the entire captive area would probably be in chaos for a while before order was restored, so Mellen was not in a hurry to meet the leader of the monastery. After he told Wenjie about what happened here through Garuru, he just became a hands-off boss.

After a little thought, Melen smiled and rode on the golden retriever, quickly breaking through the air in a certain direction.

On the other side, Wen Jie, who was following Garuru, became completely shocked after hearing the news. He was shocked by the strength of the monsters in the captive area, and even more shocked that the senior ascender could make such a big fuss without making any noise.

Compared with Mellen, Garuru and Wenjie's crackdown on those demonic forces during this period was just a small fight.

It just so happened that the demonic forces in the Catacombs Alliance area had been almost eliminated, so Wen Jie immediately returned to the Catacombs Alliance headquarters, which was Bai Shi City, and summoned the top leaders of the Catacombs Alliance to discuss the matter of entering the captive area.

Thirteen cities and a population of nearly two million, this is definitely a huge project.

More importantly, there is an organization called the Priory in the captive area. Although Wen Jie admires that they can stick to their original intentions in the area ruled by demons, he has to worry about the relationship between the two forces.

Melen could guess a little about Wenjie's troubles, but since he had decided to be a hands-off boss, he naturally didn't need to worry about these problems. He also believed that with him in charge, neither the Catacombs Alliance nor the Priory would be able to cause any trouble.

After several hours of flying, Melen arrived near a small town according to the contact information he had prepared in advance.

What surprised Mellen was that this town was very... weird.

The town is clearly filled with all kinds of demonic auras, big and small, but a large number of humans can be seen living in the town.

More importantly, these humans are not held captive by the demons in the town. Instead, there is a sense of mutual dependence between the two.

Melen immediately realized that this must have been done by the Holy Spirit Dog.

That’s right, Mellen came here to find the Holy Spirit Dog.

Facing a monster of the giant bird's level, Melen was not sure he could get complete information from it. However, this information was extremely important to him, so he thought of the Holy Spirit Dog.

Melen felt that with Holy Spirit Dog's current attainments in Shinto, there might be a way.

Chapter 383 List of Gods

As Mellen approaches the strange town, more and more people notice him.

Firstly, although there are quite a few people in the strange town, they all come from the same area after all. Many times, even if they are not familiar with each other, they have met each other before. If a stranger suddenly appears, it will naturally attract attention.

Secondly, although Mellen seemed to be followed by demons, his aura and calm demeanor were completely different from those of the people in the small town.

When Mellen walked to the gate of the town, several young men blocked his way, and many people surrounded him.

Mellen looked at the young men who were blocking the road and saw that they all had gloomy expressions and a kind of crazy feeling similar to that of demons.

One of them said coldly: "Outsider, this is not the place for you. Leave, we don't welcome you!"

It was strange that although the person spoke in a very bad tone, Melen did not feel any hostility from the other person. It seemed that the other person simply did not want him to enter the town.

Melen thought for a moment and said, "I came here to find... 'someone'."

The man who spoke looked a little puzzled and asked, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

'Of course I'm looking for my dog!'

Melen did not say this because he did not know whether it would affect the arrangement of the Holy Spirit Dog, so he was not going to disclose the relationship between himself and the Holy Spirit Dog.

Mellen shook his head slightly and said, "Get out of the way. I mean no harm."

Everyone in the town became alert, and those who had surrounded Mellen intentionally or unintentionally also moved closer to form an encirclement.

Seeing that verbal expulsion was about to turn into physical expulsion, Mellen patted the golden retriever's head and said softly, "Don't hurt them."

Hearing Mellen's words, the expressions of everyone in the town changed. A thick black aura rose from the person who spoke. He quickly expanded and grew larger, and his voice became hoarse. "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty! In that case, I'll have to let you go out lying down!"

At the same time, everyone else also transformed. For a moment, demonic energy surged and devilish flames billowed.

"Roar!~"

The people in the town roared and rushed towards Mellen.

One minute later...

Wailing sounds filled the air, and the people in the town who had been so aggressive just now fell to the ground, looking in horror at the golden-haired creature beside Mellen that seemed to have not moved at all.

The man who spoke stammered, "You...you...who are you?!"

Mellen ignored him and looked towards the entrance of the town. A young man wearing an ordinary long gown and looking quite capable was walking slowly towards them.

"Boss Shu!"

"Boss Shu, you're here!"

"Boss Shu, this outsider is trying to break into our town by force. You need to teach him a lesson!"

"Boss Shu..."

Shu Bo glanced helplessly at the people who had fallen to the ground, then walked up to Mellen, bowed respectfully, and said, "Sir, the Lord God is waiting for you. Please follow me."

Hearing the title "Lord God," Mellen's expression almost broke. He nodded expressionlessly and said simply, "Lead the way."

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Shubo led Mellen into the town, leaving those lying on the ground looking at each other in bewilderment.

Under Shubo's guidance, Melen soon arrived in front of a small courtyard of a mansion. Shubo said, "Sir, the Lord God is inside."

Mellen nodded slightly. He had naturally sensed it, so he stepped into the courtyard.

Nasus was floating quietly in mid-air. Upon seeing Meren, his eyes softened and he whispered, "Meren, you're here."

Melen chuckled, walked up to the Holy Spirit Dog in two or three steps, hugged it tightly in his arms and rubbed its head.

Nasus did not expect to be "surprise attacked" and immediately "struggled" instinctively, but his resistance was somewhat powerless to Melen.

After playing around for a while, Melen smiled and said, "It seems you've done quite well. You've actually combined demons and humans. Although the humans in the town appear to be invaded by demonic power, a little of their own innate spiritual light remains radiant, preventing them from completely falling into the demonic realm."

Nasus lay in Meren's arms and said proudly, "I have combined the ways of the gods, the ways of the martial arts, the true self, the other self, and the vast professional heritage you have collected. I have sifted the dross and retained the essence, using the ways of the gods as the core, and gradually formed my own unique spiritual path."

Nasus left Mellen's embrace, flew around him, and said proudly, "See this town? It's actually one of my foundations!"

"Foundation?"

Melen sensed the entire town again. In his perception, this town seemed to be no different except that it was more "harmonious".

And this "harmony" includes not only humans and demons, but also demons and demons.

Thinking of this, Melen seemed to understand something. He looked at the Holy Spirit Dog, who was also looking at him with an expectant look.

Mellen's mind turned, and he pretended to be helpless and said, "Oh, I really can't see anything. Holy Spirit Dog, come and tell me what's going on."

Hearing Melen's question, Nasus felt immensely satisfied. He circled Melen a few more times before approaching him and proudly said, "Melen, you better watch out!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his little claws and grabbed slightly in front of him. Suddenly, the whole world gradually became blurred, as if a curtain was caught in Nasus's claws. All the demons and humans in the curtain seemed to be frozen pictures, their breaths connected to each other, forming part of this picture.

When the blur returned to clarity, the town had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The Holy Spirit Dog held an unfolded scroll in his paws. What was depicted in the scroll was not the appearance of a small town, but demons. The whole scroll had an extremely contradictory and strange atmosphere. It had both the sacred peace of Shintoism and the chaos and madness of demons.

Looking at the scroll, Mellen's expression gradually became strange, and he asked hesitantly: "What is this..."

Nasus said proudly, "This is the Shinto treasure I forged. In the future, it will be used to carry the power of my Shinto power. I call it... the List of the Gods!"

Mellen: ...

To be honest, Mellen is having a bit of a headache now. Of course, the reason for his headache is not just because of the "Investiture of the Gods".

After coming to the mountain and sea world community, Melen learned a lot of knowledge that he had never been exposed to before. The most important of these, in addition to martial arts, was the understanding of the "self" and the "other self" based on the extension of [Observation of Delusion]. It can even be said that the importance of the latter is, to some extent, even higher than the former.

This made Mellen discover a problem that he had previously overlooked.

There is a fairly common consciousness in the mountain and sea world community, that is, one breath of a person is called a thought, and one thought can give rise to eighty-four thousand troubles.

These so-called "troubles" are thoughts formed by the "other self", and these thoughts are almost imperceptible under normal circumstances.

The method of chanting that Mellen used when he was reshaping the Holy Spirit Dog's self-awareness was proven to be useful, but it also had a huge hidden danger. That is, when Mellen was chanting, although most of his thoughts were transformed into the understanding of various dogs, because of the existence of the "other self", some thoughts that he could not even notice would be unconsciously mixed in.

Later, the Holy Spirit Dog named himself Nasus because it received the relevant thoughts that Melen inadvertently emitted.

At first, Melen didn't think it was a big deal, but now he's getting more and more worried. God knows if 'he' had instilled some weird knowledge into the Holy Spirit Dog when he was muttering about it?
