Devil's Bible

Chapter 32 The Problem of Individual Belief
Ten days is a pretty good pace. Since one can cheat by improving one's discipline and other aspects, it's natural to be faster.

However, in unfamiliar areas, it is still necessary to hone one's skills carefully.

"Next, you will need to further draw upon the power of the deep well water within your body and continuously strengthen your basic stats."

"When the basic values ​​reach a certain level, entering the steel type will be the time when the whale transformation truly erupts."

Nemes collected some of Poole's flesh and blood to keep as specimens.

The reason why this further transformation was able to be completed so quickly in ten days was largely due to the help of the old pastor.

The new bloodline effect of the Oath Rope is extremely powerful.

His oath ropes were originally strands slightly thicker than a thumb.

However, as more and more special effects are added to it, and more and more contracts are attached to it, the length and changes of the Oath Rope are also increasing rapidly.

For example, it could previously evolve into a fine filament state that was invisible to the naked eye, and decapitate Benjamin when he was running at high speed.

Now it has been further refined. After the rope of oath splits into fine threads, the tips of these threads extend into more microscopic 'lines'.

This kind of line can influence the lifeblood of a person to a certain extent.

"Unfortunately, this requires extremely strong microscopic vision and extremely keen manipulation skills."

"If this ability could be improved by several levels, I might be able to directly edit bloodline genes with it." Nemus did not fully bring his past life's knowledge into this world.

People in this world may have bloodlines and genes, but many things are different from those in their previous lives.

The mere existence of a floating whale is enough to shatter the biology of my past life.

Science also needs to respect objective laws; it is merely a means of observing, summarizing, and generalizing about the objective universe.

Nems' problem at this moment is that his observational ability and precision are both insufficient.

It is impossible to fully utilize this special tool.

“What I need now is a real opportunity, an opportunity to unleash my power in a burst.” Nemus could sense that his seizure of his identity and entry into the material plane had entered a critical period.

Once the condensation is complete, one can unleash all of their power without covering their body with the demonic form to create a physical medium.

Nemus has largely completed the model for utilizing the power of faith. Once activated, the newly formed characteristics will become a bridge, connecting all of Nemus's power.

"There's only one problem now—the power of faith isn't enough!"

"The holy nail formed from twenty-one years of faith power, according to the estimate, is simply not enough to support the formation of the characteristic I want."

"And because I need to mobilize the power of both the demon's true form and the paladin's identity, I need two different types of faith."

"The faith in the God of Discipline lasts for about 150 years, while my own faith lasts for about 20 years."

"The faith in the God of Commandments is easy to obtain, but the faith in the statues in churches has never been invoked."

"The difficulty lies with the old pastor. He has been staying at the church and rarely goes out. I need to find a way to transfer him away."

"And the power of faith I have cultivated over those twenty years is even more troublesome, as the output of this faith is too low." Nems currently only has three and a half followers.

Towns, Poole, the village keeper, and the general public.

Towns is a typical shallow believer, capable of generating a year's worth of faith power in a year.

Poole, on the other hand, is a devout believer. The quality of the faith power he produces is extremely high. By exchanging quality for quantity, the faith power he produces in one year is roughly equivalent to that produced in five to six years. Furthermore, as Poole's strength increases, his faith output is also steadily rising.

The village guardian is a believer in a broad sense. He chose to be embraced by Nemus because of his unease about evil, which gave rise to a fear of evil and a powerful faith in him. This faith is explosive.

The village guardians generally don't generate much faith power, but when they commit evil or witness evil, their faith power explodes by the amount that would last for half a month to a month. The remaining half is the entire village's inhabitants.

When they occasionally saw Nemus and greeted him, they would express their admiration and envy for Nemus's status as a paladin.

These things can also be considered as the power of faith in a broad sense, but they are too troublesome to extract.

"At the current pace, it will probably take seven or eight years to gather the power of faith for twenty years."

"If we want to speed things up, we can only increase the number and quality of believers."

These days, Nemus has not been idle; he has begun preparations to establish a secret cult.

The village has more than 500 people, most of whom are simple villagers.

They have lived in this small village their entire lives, and have basically never left. Their thinking and beliefs have long been solidified.

They only cared about their own little plot of land and the daily necessities of life.

Unless a major upheaval occurs, it is very difficult for such individuals to change their mindset.

Others are mainly teenagers.

"They still harbor the idea of ​​leaving the village and going out into the world. They don't want to stay here for the rest of their lives, either going up the mountain to collect herbs or working in the fields."

“During this time, some people have tried to join the church through me because they think I am easy to talk to.”

"With a certain amount of enticement, I am confident that I can lure some people to my side."

“But this would greatly increase the risk of exposure.” Nemes knew that Jacques and Isabella were still watching them.

Those two people seemed to have fallen into silence, but in reality, they were waiting for an opportunity.

They tried to integrate into the village and then observed anything unusual in their daily lives.

Isabella even probed into Towns' situation.

Fortunately, although Towns was full of pleasure-seeking desires, he was not completely blinded by them.

His fear of Nems restrained his 'lust' for Isabella, and he did not reveal any further information.

On the other side, Op was also waiting, hoping that there would be fewer people in the way.

Sure enough, today, an order came down that Jacques had acted without authorization and clashed with Nemes, so he was ordered to return to Swingtail Town immediately.

Jacques had no choice but to take his leave and depart from Dorsal Fin Village in the following days.

Although he felt resentful, Jacques knew he had no other choice.

After receiving the transfer order, Jacques left alone with his belongings early in the morning.

Aupu's caravan is still in the planning stages and is usually organized only once every one to two months, bringing enough herbs, animal furs, and other goods to Baiwei Town or Changbei Town.

They would exchange these supplies for enough necessities and then bring them back to the village.

It was supposed to be soon, and after learning about Jacques' situation, Aupert even asked him to wait two days before setting off together.

However, since Jacques insisted on leaving, Oppein did not stop him.

After leaving the village, Jacques glanced back at it and, finding no one watching, resolutely left the main road and disappeared into the woods.
