Chapter 245

"Devils are a race affected by melting... They are one of the victims of the [melting phenomenon], just like the Ex-Machina species whose survival is completely dependent on us."

"The disasters suffered by the devils come from the demise of the gods related to their power... The fall of those gods represents the disappearance of the world's principles."

"The power of the contract has been greatly weakened."

"The fusion of the abyss and hell has resulted in the emergence of many volcanoes that will never go out in the New Abyss Prison... Such an environment is not suitable for the survival of devils."

"The divided levels also disrupt the order followed by the devils."

Manares said this, his wings flapping slightly behind his back, and he seemed to be feeling emotional: "In the end, they fell into... madness."

Permanent and eternal madness.

When the power he relies on for survival is no longer easy to use, all the devil can rely on is the power of faith... The power of faith is indeed powerful.

But the level of risk taking is similar to that of snake scale powder.

If you want to accept the power that comes from faith, you naturally need to be surrounded and controlled by others' perceptions of yourself.

If you cannot insert a strong enough [anchor], if you cannot clearly understand the gap and particularity between yourself and [yourself in other people's beliefs].

Then you will naturally lose yourself.

"..."

And Manaris felt that he could not explain these to everyone in the main plane... even if he fully explained the risks.

But power is power after all, and they will certainly try to chase it.

It can even be said that [Power of Faith] is a very good path, a good choice to become a god or a [demigod].

As for which one is more profitable or more dangerous than using [Snake Scale Powder], it's hard to say.

But from Manares' perspective...

If you go crazy because of snake scale powder, the only person who suffers the loss is the crazy person, but if you go crazy because of your beliefs, then a country may be destroyed.

Cathay is the best example.

"The crazy devils finally found an interesting solution...that is fusion, and they chose to fuse together."

Manaris spoke softly, trying his best to tell the past events without revealing anything.

Even the immortal race may not understand these things.

Only angels and the like, whose life spans are linked to the continuation of the world [eternal species], are qualified to remember the distant history of the past.

Not to mention the humans in front of us who only have a lifespan of about three hundred years.

What? You mean dragon?

That's a baby dragon, okay? Although the development is relatively advanced.

"Hundreds of devils who were drawn to gods because of their madness finally decided to converge on one of the devil individuals, placing the hope of the race's survival in the future... and then chose their own prison."

Manares said this in a low voice: "The angels also played a role in the establishment of prisons and cages."

In other words...

It is the angels who imprisoned the devil, and some texts also say so... although scholars are skeptical about this.

However, the relationship and the complicated history seem to be more tortuous than everyone imagined.

But obviously, many people are not interested in stories and history.

"So, the devil who leads the kingdom's resistance... are you ready to help solve it? As an archangel."

Regarding the words of a kingdom noble, Manares simply shook his head: "That's not the case. Although I doubt whether they have awakened from their madness, we will not do anything until this is confirmed."

To put this sentence more clearly, its general meaning is...

It is not easy for angels or heaven to intervene directly in this matter. Telling the kingdom the general situation is the most they can do.

Although it was awkward, Angel's attitude was surprisingly reassuring... at least it was better than being a righteous policeman in the world.

"Furthermore, what you just said [leading the kingdom's resistance] may not be correct. I don't think it is a kind of leadership."

Manares said, a faint holy light wrapped around him: "The devil's good method is deception, or forced deception, that is, control... Maybe his men and the resistance forces are all under his control. middle."

From this point of view, we know that the devil is indeed a devil. Compared with the seventh-level white witch, there are too many beings that can be controlled at one time.

Although they are all magic control spells, the devil seems to be better at using them, which is also brought about by a long lifespan.

But for the White Witch, charm and control are not all of her abilities.

"So, what is that devil doing now?"

The Black Witch asked, and she shared the information: "According to the latest intelligence, the rebels have settled in Yuanyicheng."

"The familiars and spies sent to investigate the situation were discovered almost as soon as they entered the city, and were subsequently cleaned up."

The black witch who said this immediately realized why the spies and familiars were discovered so quickly.

If it's like what the archangel said...

If all the creatures in the city are controlled by the devil, then an uncontrolled person or animal will naturally be quite conspicuous.

"I don't know about that."

Manares just shook his head and said, thinking about something, "Besides this information, I may not be able to do anything else."

Having said this, the Archangel of Judgment immediately added, "But if you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them."

Confused? There are so many doubts... there are so many.

Some people are curious about the devil's grudges, and some people in the esoteric sect are even more thoughtful, but...

At this time, it would be better for Princess Violet, who had been silent until now, to speak first.

Although Belxi and some people who are familiar with her think that she is probably just pretending to be an expert without saying anything.

"About your information, the Violet Kingdom has actually received it."

"..."

The first words of the eldest princess made many nobles present feel a little nervous... Although there is nothing wrong with these words.

Many people present could even say similar things...

But if such words were said by the eldest princess, the regent, then everyone listening would more or less feel that something was wrong.

The eldest princess...does she have ambitions to ascend the throne?

However, the eldest princess did not make the slightest pause in this regard, as if her original intention was not to give everyone a slight hint.

"But I'm a little curious, why does the devil want to help the resistance and control Baoguo and his son? Does he have any grudges with the Violet Kingdom?"

Regarding the eldest princess's words, Manares realized that he had not explained clearly the cause and effect of this aspect.

So he explained the general situation he knew.

This also includes his awareness that Xiao Baoguo, also known as Kespi Baoguo, accidentally melted into the 666th layer of the abyss, where he made a deal with the devil and helped the devil's consciousness escape.

[Oh, so the devil's body did not actually leave the abyss, but his soul possessed Xiao Ma Baoguo (referring to the horse-faced features)? 】

At the words of Seven Island Semu, Manaris nodded slightly and shook his head: "It's not the soul, but the consciousness... just a part of the consciousness."

【Eh? Can Nesta's boss hear me? 】

Amidst the astonishment of Semu Nananoshima, the Druid of the Cat also nodded: "Yes, your vocal method is actually not very good. I can also hear your voice... although I know it is not you. original intention."

Yes, although Nananoshima Semu is used to putting his tentacles on others before speaking, he has to admit that this is troublesome.

And people who are unfamiliar with it are likely to misunderstand...

Just imagine, a slime stretches its tentacles in your direction... Even if you know that the other person has no ill intentions, you will still be startled.

"As for why the devil did such a thing, and why he acted as a rebel... I don't know."

Manares said this, and while saying this, his body also showed obvious distortion...

At this moment, he is just a clone, or a projection that is not even a clone.

And this projection has obvious distortion at this moment.

It's like the signal is bad.

The Archangel of Judgment named Manares also noticed this: "It seems that my light and spirit have stayed in the main plane for too long... During the time when I cannot project, if you have any questions, Just ask Nesta.”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking these words in a leisurely manner, he disappeared into the air instantly, leaving only a feather floating gently in the air.

This is a feather that is shining, and as it sways, the light becomes more and more obvious and dazzling - almost white and bright to an extreme.

Many people couldn't help but turn their heads away from looking at the feathers.

…

At this time, Manaris's voice sounded again, maybe there was a delay or something, although it disappeared for a while...

But the unfinished words still echoed at this moment.

"This is part of my wings. Let me use it as a thank you gift to Lord Belsi... Please take care of Nesta in the future."

"Then it contains the seeds of holy light. Mortals or other races will have great benefits if they eat it. But you are an abyss dragon... I don't know what to do."

"But if I give it to you, it becomes yours. There is nothing to hesitate about. You can eat it or collect it."

At these words, Belsi, who felt that her eyes were going to be blinded, squinted her eyes and gently caught the feather while everyone was watching.

To be honest, this is obviously a good intention.

Manaris's words were probably to thank me for taking care of Nesta, but... he felt a little ashamed.

Bel Xi was a little ashamed...

Because in fact, Nesta has always been taking care of them like an old mother, taking care of the young Northern Territory.

What should I say?

Now Belsey feels like she has a lot of old ladies——

Mother Nesta used her fighting power to help solve the problem, Mother Princess used her financial resources to help solve the problem, Mother Nananashima used her system...

Use the omnipotent [Power] to achieve invincible things.

…

But the problem now is...

Belxi was drooling a little. He clearly felt that this feather would be delicious, but was it really okay to eat it?

I wonder if Nananashima Semu knows some clues.

[Well, brother... The system said that this feather is a good thing and a consumable. After use, it can increase the affinity and power of the light attribute. 】

Responding to Nanashima Semu's words, Belsi almost without hesitation stuffed the feather into his mouth and chewed it.

This is nothing to think about...

If the system says it’s OK, then it’s OK!

With such a mentality, Belxi felt that the feathers he had not chewed twice instantly turned into a warm feeling and flowed into his belly.

Then, everything slowly returned to calm.

【……】

"..."

So, what happened?

Bel Xi wasn't sure, and the other meeting members who were looking at Bel Xi weren't too sure either...

The eldest princess, who wanted to stop Belsi from eating messy things out of concern, swallowed back her hesitant words and gave up the idea of ​​saying anything.

It can only be said that Her Royal Highness the Princess has indeed gone down the road of old mother forever, even though she is a young girl from the perspective of a time traveler.

Belsey: Char, I'm doing something greedy.

Finally, after waiting for a while, everyone gave up focusing on the innocent-looking Bel Xi.

Instead, they started discussing content related to the devil.

But the Cat Druid has been looking in the direction of Semu Nananoshima with curious and inquiring eyes.

In her ears, Nanajima Semu began to say something that she could not quite understand.

[Brother, the system prompts you to get a skill... I searched around, but still couldn't find it. I feel like it's the one that activated it. 】

that? What is that?

Belsey was a little confused.

[That’s it, that one… “When eating the same species and acquiring skills of the same nature, they will no longer be invalidated by default”. 】

Oh, is that [field] and [except] coming from?

After saying this, Belsi remembered it, although the keywords he associated with it were rather strange, and there was a sense of déjà vu like "playing Yu-Gi-Oh (reach out and point)".

Semu Nananoshima talked about the talent that had just changed recently: [I found that your "Knight of the Holy See Holy Slash" skill has changed! 】

Belsi remembers that this skill was acquired... a long time ago when he ate the Holy See knights who enslaved the Second General's tribe.

At first, Belsi used a lot of it, but later he discovered that his reserves of Holy Light were really too little.

Two or three shots at most are not very meaningful, so I don’t use them much.

[Let me see...Wow! The name sounds amazing! 】

[Brand of Holy Light! 】

…

Belsi felt that from now on she would be able to fuse with people with light and dark attributes... Could she be a gluttonous saint?
