Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 318 Mission: 05-3 God's Will is Hard to Defy
"I succeeded!"

Deep in an inconspicuous crack in the cave, Jiuyuan Feiniao jumped up from the ground happily.

For several days, apart from eating and sleeping, she spent her time resting her eyes to recuperate and constantly expending energy issuing orders to "Dean." This was undoubtedly a difficult task. Although the Iron Demon Dean was created by the Rat Catcher, the material used was the precious iron ore bestowed by the Dragon King of the Star Sea. The metal smelted from this ore was naturally imbued with powerful spirituality and could also be stretched and contracted freely, freely changing shape, size, rigidity, and even weight.

Indeed, it possesses the exact same properties as the legendary "Ruyi Jingu Bang" treasured in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and is crafted from the exact same materials. The Rat Catcher hadn't assembled any power source or mechanical mechanisms into Dean. Its ability to move freely, even slipping through narrow cracks and hiding within the mountain's interior, was entirely due to the power of the divine iron itself. It could be said that the Rat Catcher wasn't Dean's creator, but rather simply "extracted" an unformed Dean from the ore.

So even the Rat Catcher is not Dean's master.

Therefore, in order to carve the mark of "Kyuon Asuka" on the soul of this demon, Asuka could only repeatedly command him - "Obey me." It couldn't be a short-lived command like an enemy; to complete the Rat Catcher's Gift Game, Asuka had to completely tame Dean.

And at this moment, she finally succeeded. This time, the "obey me" was for "forever". Dean truly acknowledged that Jiuyuan Feiniao was his master and would no longer have any thoughts of resisting her.

Slow applause sounded from behind her. Fei Niao turned her head and saw "Noderman" walking out from the shadows with a cold smile on his face.

"Congratulations," he said. "It's much faster than expected. You're truly worthy of being a demigod."

"Eh?"

This surprised Asuka, but Kuro Usagi had indeed speculated that, compared to Izayoi, whose powers were completely unknown, and Yō, whose gifts were only acquired through acquired experience, Asuka's innate special powers were likely the result of divine bloodline suddenly manifesting in her descendants for some reason. But was this so easy to tell?

"Don't be too surprised, for I, too, bear the mark of a similar power," the Nodite said calmly. "So I can tell that your words aren't 'controlling' people or objects, but rather transforming them into a gift of power... Words of power are the privilege of those nearing godhood."

In other words, "words become laws." Asuka's words do not change anyone's will. If the person being ordered by Asuka thinks the same thing as she does, then these words are "God's blessing," and that person's power will increase exponentially. If the opposite is true, then Asuka's words are a curse, forcing them to act regardless of their will.

The biggest difference between this and what is usually called "controlling" others is that the bird can even command others to do things that are otherwise impossible. Let people without wings fly into the sky, let people without gills breathe underwater - as long as the bird speaks the order, these can be achieved.

"On your body...?"

The Nodman did not answer Fei Niao's question. He turned around and looked at the elves hiding in the cave: "It seems that my mission is accomplished."

"Thank you, ancient pioneer."

"Thank you so much."

"This way our wish can be fulfilled."

"Is there anything we can do for you?"

Amid the elves' answers, the last question made the "Noders" fall into deep thought.

His eyes drifted to Fei Niao, and after a pause, he shook his head slightly: "No... I only have one wish. Although her gift can do it, the spirit cannot oppose the command of 'Him' to me." What is this topic? Fei Niao tilted his head slightly, and then suddenly realized:
A powerful, extremely powerful "god," hundreds, even thousands, of times more powerful than a bird, used the "Word of God" to issue an order, or rather, to impose a curse, on the "Nod people." The "Nod people" wanted to break the curse, but they were unable to do so.

"but……"

Noderen changed the subject and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's not completely useless."

He looked at the bird and made a request.

He told Fei Niao that he had made a great mistake and was cursed by God to wander the earth. This curse was so strong that he was not even affected by the rules of the game and could ignore the iron rule of "not leaving the game area".

On the other hand, this curse also caused him some troubles when participating in the Gift Game. He could not stay in one place for long and had to leave the game frequently.

However, this outcome was not the curse's original intention, so he asked Asuka to order him to "return to the game when this game begins." As long as he did not directly contradict "Him," Asuka's order should be effective.

"But even if such an order is given, how will it help you?"

Asuka asked doubtfully, "How has this game helped you?"

Hearing Fei Niao's question, Noderen lowered his head and sighed, "I have been wandering for too long."

He wanted to stop, but he couldn't. Even for some reason, he couldn't die normally.

"Neither Heaven nor Hell will accept a wandering soul like me unless a certain God of Death is willing to take the initiative to greet me," he said. "This is not a metaphor, but a literal meaning. A certain God of Death must take my soul away. This is equivalent to him being willing to 'vouch' for me, representing 'Him' to forgive my sins."

And in this game, there happens to be a spirit with the "God of Death".

The "Nod" saw this and thought that as long as he could participate in the game, stand on the opposite side of the god of death and force the other party to kill him, he could end his eternal wandering.

Asuka listened to his words, a great deal of surprise and confusion emerged in his heart. According to the Nodites, the god who cursed him was in charge of heaven and hell, and no god of death dared to disobey. Isn't this a being?

"Yes."

The "Man of Nod" confirmed Fei Niao's guess. The god who cursed him to wander forever because of his sins and mistakes was the eternal ruler of all monotheistic religions, the one recorded in the Bible.
