Devil's Bible

Chapter 42 All Things Obey
"The chaotic wilderness obeys my commands."

"The ashes from the burnt-out coalesce into a shape."

"All things are shaped, originating from within."

"This is the time to act, to follow the principles of destiny!"

As the last incantation was uttered, Nemus could clearly feel everything around him change.

Soil, vegetation, house debris, air, and everything else are all changing accordingly.

These things seemed to dissolve like paint, and then a spark suddenly appeared.

These dissolved elements become unified—a controllable energy substance.

This substance rapidly changed, turning into water in the next moment and surging towards the large black mass.

For spellcasters, magic is their skill.

Furthermore, the upper limit of this skill is generally far greater than that of skills such as swordsmanship.

It can continuously amplify the caster's mental energy, thereby leveraging more natural forces to ultimately create a powerful effect.

However, precisely because of this, the casting of spells has become exceptionally delicate.

It requires an unusually long preparation time.

If Isabella were to fight Nemus, not even considering the preparation time beforehand, the incantation she's currently performing would be enough for Nemus to kill her a dozen times over.

The moment it was covered by those energy substances, Dahei's body began to struggle violently.

"Shaping spell - All things submit".

“Genius,” Nems exclaimed, marveling at Isabella’s talent.

This level of magic is not something an ordinary priest can access.

Even many Ironborn priests don't know this kind of spell.

This is not a traditional priest spell.

Spells have undergone many evolutions and have long since become numerous schools of thought.

There are spells derived from demonic magic, spells developed by humans, and spells simplified from divine magic.

All kinds of magic interpret the world from different perspectives and utilize the power of the world.

The more powerful the spell, the greater the skill required to control it from the user.

Just like Nemus's Thousand Moon Extinction Bird Turning Nether Sword, many people try to learn it, but they only learn the empty shell and cannot unleash its true power. Instead, they end up hurting themselves.

Most priests integrate their spiritual power with faith, which makes their minds exceptionally stable and gives them a boost when casting various holy and corresponding divine spells.

However, this advantage is lost when casting spells of other types.

Shaping spells are often used by wizards.

To manipulate and shape a certain element with one's own spirit.

Isabella's ability to perform such a complex and extremely difficult "Compassion of All Things" without any spiritual enhancement is a testament to her talent, which is almost on par with his.

Countless energy substances rapidly transformed and pierced into Dahei's body, then triggered a synchronous transformation within Dahei's body.

This spell is a classic example of shaping magic.

Matter is transformed into a pure energy state, and then it is subjected to various reshaping processes. In this process, the individuals caught up in it will also undergo countless changes.

If even the basic structure of a living organism is reshaped, then basically only death remains.

Big Black struggled incessantly, trying to break free from the intrusion of these energy substances.

Then his body suddenly reached a critical moment, with a large number of black blood vessels intertwining on his body.

It was clearly visible that its body compressed for a moment, then rapidly expanded, and then exploded. A large amount of flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a head flew high into the air, breaking out of the energy substance's envelope and flying into the distance. A large number of black blood vessels intertwined, like a pair of wings, supporting the head as it glided into the distance.

Clearly, Dahei chose to sacrifice the pawn to save the king under these circumstances.

At this moment, Isabella couldn't help but cough, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, then quickly vomited.

This is one of the side effects of excessive mental energy consumption.

Nemus watched the head fly away but did not choose to chase it. The flesh and blood that fell to the ground were not completely dead at this moment.

However, without the control of the brain, these things are reduced to mere instincts.

Under the control of the black blood vessels, some pieces of flesh and blood launched attacks on everything around them, and they could even see themselves fighting each other.

Most of the flesh and blood gradually died within seconds, and upon closer inspection, other characteristics could be observed on the flesh and blood.

Some have become lignified, some have hardened like stone, and others are as soft and loose as soil.

This is the effect of all things conforming, which can effectively reconstruct the basic structure of things that are being swept along.

If Big Black were to self-destruct at 1 a.m., or if Isabella's spell were to last longer, Big Black would probably turn into wood or stone.

"Are you alright?" Nemes helped Isabella up.

After vomiting and feeling nauseous, Isabella felt slightly better and recovered somewhat.

"It's alright, I just need to use divine magic to rest before I can recover my fighting strength." After regaining consciousness, Isabella quickly exchanged information with Nemus.

Regarding the old pastor's possible bloodline experiments, and his past relationship with Dartment.

"So that's how it is. The Dartmentley family's bloodline experiment was a follow-up to the old priest's experiment?" Only now did Nemus realize why the old priest had said that he owed Nemus certain things.

This only highlights the contradictions within the old pastor.

He may indeed feel guilty towards Neil and want to repent.

On the other hand, however, he continued to push forward with his own experiments, coldly observing all the problems that arose because of these things.

This self-contradictory situation is generally referred to as—madness.

“In that case, Jacques is probably in danger,” Nemes then confirmed.

"The old pastor isn't at the church; he's most likely with Oppein."

"As things are revealed, no one can predict what the old pastor will do, but the most likely outcome is that he will force the experiment to succeed." Nemes wasn't too surprised that Jacques hadn't left.

He still had some understanding of people's hearts.

Jacques wasn't the type to slink away so easily.

Nems didn't expect that Jacques would go to the Aupu caravan.

Compared to the church without the old pastor, the caravan area was the real danger zone.

The old pastor has gone mad; judging from the current situation, his lifelong obsession lies in that bloodline experiment.

By slightly adopting the old pastor's perspective, Nemes was able to glean his general idea: the experiment had to succeed no matter what.

Only in this way will everything not have been in vain.

Only then could he truly atone for his sins.

"It is precisely because of this mentality that he will use all his strength to complete the experiment when it is about to be exposed."

"Op's cooperation with the old pastor was most likely coerced."

“The old pastor usually struggles with various emotions, and I guess Opp is also outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.”

"At this point, we actually helped the old pastor make up his mind."
