Chapter 265 Succubus or Nightmare
"But if I want to find him, it's not enough to rely on the crown's wide-range sensing ability. I must obtain the specific movements of that army from the mouths of other devils in hell. And to achieve this goal, I must To obtain a body that can easily gather information and facilitate operations in hell."
"I simply found the magic choice in advance."
Nohir looked at the succubus next to him. If there is any magic in hell that is relatively popular everywhere, then it is probably the only race of succubi.
According to legend, the succubus race was not originally aboriginal from the Nine Hells of Baator. This race was founded in the bottomless abyss. From the beginning, it was defined by scholars in the world as a type of demon, not a devil.
But for some unknown reason, most of the succubi in the bottomless abyss escaped from the abyss at the same time and turned to the devils' mortal enemies, the devils. The Lord of the Nine Hells also readily agreed with them. Since then, succubi have become common in the Nine Hells.
However, although the succubi have joined the devil's family, they are still fundamentally different from the devil in essence. After all, their predecessors are undoubtedly demons, but all the succubi who have joined the Nine Hells have been affected by Baptism of energy from the nine hells.
This combination makes the current succubi neither devils nor demons, but are classified as evil demons in a broader sense, that is, evil species in the lower planes.
They don't have a more detailed division, but they also allow this kind of evil spirit to mix easily wherever it is. They can adapt to both hell and abyss, and are welcomed in "all senses" wherever they are.
"The succubus is the best choice. As the commander of the 69th Legion, Lucille is too well-known and cannot act as he pleases with his status. But the succubus is different. This kind of evil demon is a naturally shape-shifting creature that can It can change its appearance as it pleases. In terms of disguise ability alone, the succubus is an ultimate spy that is more powerful than the little devil."
"However, although the succubus can change his appearance at will, his transformation ability is not invincible. He can only transform into a humanoid creature that is not much different from him in size. At the same time, once faced with a creature with real vision, Devils, such as hunter demons, lust demons, and even hell fiends, can directly see through this level of deformation, which makes the above-mentioned demons who can see through deformation alert. "
"But it doesn't matter. Ordinary transformation is enough to fool most of the devils, and most of the time I only need to use the appearance of the succubus to get close to those devils. I don't even need to use the succubus's natural charm ability, I just need to get close. Directly search for information in their minds through the crown, and by constantly changing the appearance, just a succubus body can be used in various ways, without having to worry about being discovered by the devil and wanted by the portrait. "
As for if the ordinary devil can't get the information he wants in his mind and must find those high-level devils, Nohir can also directly use the body of the succubus, because the succubus race has a very unique characteristic.
As we all know, whether they are devils, demons, or yugoloths, evil species from the lower planes that maintain a certain humanoid form and possess certain intelligence, they themselves have no concept of gender. Most of them Neither devils nor devils have the ability to have children, but the race of succubi is different.
This race not only has the concept of gender, but can even conceive and give birth to children on its own. With this ability alone, the succubus species has transcended all lower plane creatures to a certain extent.
Succubi do not need to rely on the environment of hell or the abyss. They can survive and exist anywhere. Unlike devils and demons, they are infertile and can only rely on the tributaries of the River Styx to bring them an endless stream of devils. Or devil eggs. From this point of view, demons and devils are not so much a race, but rather they are some kind of mass-produced biological weapons.
But succubi are different. They can call themselves a race because they can reproduce. After all, they can exist on their own without relying on other species or environments.
Yes, not only the environment cannot control the succubi, but also the species cannot control them. Many people have a common sense mistake, thinking that the species of succubi only has females, but this idea is wrong, and it is still wrong. Very outrageous.
The most outrageous thing about succubi is that this species not only has the concept of gender, but every succubus has two genders from birth.
Yes, succubi are a typical hermaphrodite creature. They are only broadly called succubi when they maintain a female form, but all succubi can transform into men by virtue of their own abilities, and have All concepts related to men, including Adam's apple, voice, face and szq.
At the same time, this kind of transformation can occur anytime and anywhere. A female succubus can transform into a male at any time and anywhere without any restrictions. A succubus in a male state is no longer broadly called a succubus. Instead of being a demon, he is called a dream demon.
Succubi and incubi are one, but most of these demons have their own relatively stable preferences in the process of growing up. Because they have been stable in the form of succubus or incubus for a long time, this makes it rare for mortals to see this kind of demon. The true form of the evil spirit even separated these two forms, so this common-sense mistake was passed down in the continent of Faerûn.
Friends who have played Baldur's Gate 3 know that there is a nightmare in the legendary House of Hope, the hometown of the great devil Raphael. If you choose to have a deeper communication with him during the game, he will show the player the uniqueness of this race in the process, that is, changing from male to female.
When Noshier first saw that guy, he was really shocked. Even now, when he thinks back, he can't help but sigh that he is worthy of being a devil with infinite lifespan. He plays a damn good game.
As for how to play it specifically? Tsk, it's hard to say. It won't pass the review. I can only say that Raphael has since gained the nickname of Pillow Princess from the players. The rest can be experienced by the players themselves.
Well, in short, because of this feature, Noshier has made up his mind to sacrifice the succubus directly when the crown cools down, and then stay in the form of a nightmare when transforming into this form.
Because Losweier had always preferred succubus, few demons knew about his nightmare form, which was much more concealed than the succubus form, and it also saved him from having to transform into a woman in a physiological sense.
Well, this was quite important to Noshier.
