The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 286 Prepare with both hands
Perhaps, it is impossible to expect the devil to have any strong tactical thinking?

Belsi and Nananoshima Semu were very sure that no matter which world they were in, having an empty defense was a taboo in war.

But maybe these demons never paid attention to the [mortals] on the main plane from the beginning...

Therefore, he didn't care at all whether his rear would be raided.

Maybe in their view, they only have the right to attack everywhere, but there is no reason to be attacked.

Currently, there are no troops of those demons in Beigang City.

Therefore, Belsi and Nanami Semu quickly helped the city lord of Beigang City and the fleeing residents of Beigang City to take back the city.

The process does not require too much elaboration.

Because leaving aside the part about detecting whether it was a trap... what the Northern Territory did was actually just lead people there.

There was no hindrance.

From a defensive point of view, Beigang City is simply an empty city. There are only a few Fallen Heaven believers who are packing their things and seem to be evacuating.

To be honest, this doesn't make sense.

No matter how much they look down on people, those demons should have corresponding, most basic war logic, right?
But he gave up Beigang City so simply.

"..."

This time, Beigang City will not be captured so easily.

Belsi, who was thinking this way, looked at the guards who were becoming more serious and the magic cannons that were always ready to be activated.

I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t feel very real.

"It's so strange, faith...um..."

Belsch pondered as he listened to the reports about the losses... What should I say?The losses in Beigang City were not small.

In addition to the obvious building damage and personnel losses caused by previous attacks... the warehouse was also looted.

Also, it seems that a group of people were taken away by those demons.

[It’s really strange. I feel like I just don’t want Beigang City anymore, but according to the normal thinking...even if you want faith, you need a fixed territory, right? 】

Amidst the confusion of the two people, a kind and elderly female voice came from behind the two people. It was the voice of the tree demon grandma——

"It's not surprising, because these are some demon kings who have the same style as always...the main source of their faith is their own territory."

In the midst of such a voice, Bel Xi turned his head, and then immediately froze... In front of him was a young lady with a big heart.

Wearing clothes made of leaves and bark branches, they are quite cool.

But what was very strange was that a time-worn and familiar voice came from the other party's mouth: "Besides, faith does not need to be too pure... fear can also be used."

Belsi and Nanami Semu couldn't understand the words of the Lord of Black Stone for the time being... It wasn't that they couldn't understand, but the scene in front of them was too bizarre.

"Long time no see, grandma... grandma?"

In response to Bel Xi's stammering question, the Master of Black Stone, knowing that the two of them had always called her grandma, simply nodded: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Even though he said that, it was not that the two sides had not communicated all the time.

Lizardmen, drow, and little flower demons often visited the Lord of Black Stone. When Belshe and Semu of Seven Islands went to Anaconda Forest, the Lord of Black Stone also visited the Northern Territory in human form.

However, it just happened to be wrong.

Hearing the hesitation in Belxi's words, the Lord of Black Stone, who had existed for a long time, knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Appearances are just appearances."

The Lord of Black Stone said this and pointed in the direction of the Northern Territory: "My body is still in its original position. There is no big difference between me now and the trees, flowers, plants, and fruits I controlled before. different."

"..."

It's not that Belxi doesn't know this truth, but the problem is that his ideological level is not that high yet.

Se is really Se se... It's over, it's about to be established.

Bersi, who felt sad about his vulgarity, diverted his attention in order to prevent himself from actually standing up.

Faith doesn’t have to be pure… fear doesn’t have to be either.

Is that so?
Soon, Belxi thought of something, and he asked aloud: "In other words, can you gain the power of faith by spreading terror?"

Semu Nananoshima also barely recovered from the image of the dryad grandmother, and put his tentacles on her shoulders——

[As long as you become a bad guy and cause enough damage, you can also become a demigod... then it seems easier than I thought. 】

"..."

At this time, the words of the two people made the Lord of Black Stone a little stunned. She did not expect that the two of them already knew so much about this kind of thing.

Although it is only the third level, the secrets it holds are already comparable to those of [Awakener (Level 5 and above)].

"Yes, there are many ways to gain faith, such as opening a school to recruit students, being worshiped as a lord, spreading fear to scare a party, spreading faith and establishing a religion..."

The Lord of Black Stone said that she felt that Belsi and Nanami Shimu already fully understood the matters related to faith, so she simply said it more clearly:

"But different images will naturally lead to different selves. The more different they are from themselves, the greater the difference. Maybe they will lose themselves even if they become gods."

Lost myself...

Lost yourself?
Belxi thought of Fox You's contracted creature, the white fox, the so-called [Demon King of Foxes], and thought of what it said before.

(I was originally a fox-man, also a half-beast, but...I lost myself.)
(However, the power of demigods will also weaken for some reasons. At that time... you may have forgotten how to use the power that does not belong to demigods.)
"After losing yourself, will your appearance and body also change? Will you become what people believe in? Will you forget how to use your power before you were a demigod?"

Belsi asked, while the Lord of Black Stone nodded slightly: "Well, the power of faith makes demigods lose themselves."

"Like empty shells, they will also converge to faith... Not only their bodies, but also their personalities, memories, and souls will change as a result."

During her explanation, Semu Nananoshima thought of something and said: [Then, if the power of faith is gone...if no one believes in demigods anymore. 】

[A lost demigod will directly become a waste, but a demigod who is not lost can still fight with the power he had before becoming a demigod? 】

"That's it, or you can use snake scale powder."

Although the Lord of Black Stone is only at the fifth level, she seems to know a lot, giving Belsi and Semu Nananoshima a deeper understanding of their faith.

To sum up...

Neither is good!

Snake scale powder and the power of faith are both powerful things, but they are also really bad. The former makes people go crazy and lose control, while the latter makes people lose themselves.

It still feels like magic and holy light. This kind of relatively mild conventional power is better, so it’s better to use this kind.

(Mystra: Yeah~)

(God of Light: Help... Is anyone here to save us?)

(White Pigeon: Call for help +1)

"..."

Nesta was quite shocked on the side, her mouth opened wide, looking at the Black Stone Lord and Bel Xi who were communicating.

She failed to understand.

Yes, Nesta couldn't understand why the Lord of Black Stone told the secrets of the world so easily to Belsi and Semu Nananoshima, who were not yet high-ranking people.

You know, knowing this early is not a good thing.

Before the fifth level, the truth will bypass sleepers like them, but after reaching the fifth level, after waking up... the truth will actively entangle them.

And force people to shoulder their respective missions.But maybe...

Nesta thought about it, and then she thought - maybe Belsi and Semu Nananoshima have already been burdened with a lot of things.

For example, everyone's admiration, the name of the brave and the devil, the expectations and investment of myself and other people in the esoteric sect.

Perhaps their awakening is the inevitable outcome.

Because Nesta didn't realize that the truth itself avoided Belsi and Nananoshima Semu... and it didn't let the world avoid them like the names of the two and the third sister.

Or quite the opposite.

Whether it's their own curiosity and pursuit of knowledge, or the existence gathered around them, including her, they are all revealing the other side of the world.

Everyone hesitates to speak, and everyone reveals something more or less.

You reveal 1, I reveal 2, she reveals 3 and 4...

Slowly, the truth that the two grasped, along with their own terrifying reasoning and associations, 123456789...

The whole world appeared in front of them like a puzzle.

In the past, Nesta might have considered whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for saving the world, but now...

As long as Belsi and the others are happy, that's fine.

When Nesta was thinking this, leaning against the wall gently and looking at Belsi and the others, the two of them turned their heads and saw her.

"Eh? Nesta, are you here?"

【What happened again? 】

In response to the two people's questions, Nesta nodded slightly: "Well, despite our reminder, Arctic City was still breached."

Arctic City is the so-called [City in the Far North of the Violet Kingdom], which is also the city further north of Beigang City.

But despite saying that, Arctic City is not actually the northernmost city.

It was true in the past, but later due to the expansion of territory, the territory of the Violet Kingdom expanded, so new cities appeared in the north.

However, the name still stuck.

Just like Beigang City, it used to be the northernmost port, but now although it is still called Beigang City, it is actually more located in the northeast of the kingdom.

And now the northernmost port of the Violet Kingdom is called Arctic Port.

"It's expected. After all, there are no garrison troops in Arctic City. Beigang City is actually a city with relatively strong defense capabilities."

Belsi said, he was thinking about whether to send out troops directly to attack those troops, so as to avoid killing and causing chaos in the Violet Kingdom.

After all, Belsi can now add a dragon pattern to the violet flag if she wants... although the person responsible for modifying the flag is currently on the 666th floor.

But Bel Xi felt that if she really called and asked, the eldest princess would just smile and agree... maybe this is doting (fog)
[What about the Fallen Demon King? 】

Nananoshima Semu was a little worried, and she sighed: [He is a demigod, that is, the eighth level, right?Although we are the protagonists. 】

[But the challenge of overstepping a level is at most one level. For two levels, we are currently at level [-]. If we can reach level [-] from level [-], the combat power system must have collapsed. 】

What Nanajima Semu said made sense, and Belxi was a little hesitant: "Yes, a big fist means the truth... I'm a little timid to tell the truth."

Although Belxi and the others are reasonable in this matter, they may not be reasonable, and they may have come to the main plane.

Then the Fallen Demon King didn't say anything, didn't care about "hit me first" or anything like that, and just cut them both with one knife?

"Can you beat Nesta?"

Belsi asked, and Nesta pointed at herself with a puzzled look on her face: "What do you mean? Fighting the Fallen Demon King?"

Belsi and Nanajima Semu nodded...the former nodded, and the latter squirmed at most.

Nesta: "..."

"Thank you for having faith in me though."

Nesta was helpless when she said this, and she was a little embarrassed: "If I use all my cards, I can beat the demigod by half a step at most... and the opponent can't go too far."

In other words, it just can’t be beaten...

[So, does a half-step demigod have a chance to defeat the Fallen Demon King? 】

Nesta hesitated for a moment when Nananashima Semu asked, but still shook her head:
"You should already know what the power of faith is, but you may not know...the power of faith is the same as the snake scale powder, it is an unreasonable force."

"..."

In other words, does it take a demigod to defeat a demigod?

So, in the relationship network between Belsi and Nanajima Semu, the demigods have... the ancestors of Kitsune.

But it's gone.

Then it’s Archangel Manares… Although I don’t know the specific level, but in the system panel of Semu Nanamishima? ? ?

That's obviously a demigod.

……

【That devil? 】

"The devil of Yaoyicheng."

After they both came to this conclusion, Belsi and Nananoshima Semu realized something at the same time.

But for the time being, they still chose to suppress such thoughts.

"Let's ask Kailin to see if there are any demigods in the secret sect who are willing to help us... I guess I'm not willing to help either."

Bel Xi felt it was a bit tricky, but as the mage girl passed by, he thought of something: "By the way, I don't know what level Third Sister's father is."

【Eh!Yeah... let's see if we can find some connections. 】

Nanajima Semu has some confidence.

"..."

However, Belsi was not so optimistic... He still felt that he traveled through time too late and happened to encounter troubles such as melting.

If only I had time traveled five years...three years earlier.

To be precise, together with Semu Nananoshima, they traveled through time three years ago, and the two of them may have become demi-gods at this time.

Maybe they all become gods.

"..."

"Let's do this, make two preparations... Nesta, please ask the Archangel of Judgment if he can help us come forward, and we can also contact Kailin Toto."

Belsi said this, thinking about the terrain of the Violet Kingdom: "On the other hand, those demons should expand all the way north... No, plunder all the way north and harvest faith."

"We also followed all the way north to retake the city, and set the cities we passed as auxiliary cities on your dashboard, Semu."

"Then wait until the devil reaches the northernmost city."

[Surround them with a wall? 】

"Well, connect the city wall to the sea, set up countless heavy crossbows, and surround the entire city where the devil is."
