Demon Bible
Chapter 67: An Yin, and Self-Agreement!
Intense soul fluctuations, combined with faith power, Naimes activated the divine magic he had mastered.
As a former holy knight, Naimes had barely mastered any divine magic, except for this one spell which was so clear that he had long since learned it.
Faith formed magic arrays as his spirit connected with the void.
A sacred commandment aura began to circulate.
At this moment, even the old priest who had entered a pseudo-Saint state was stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing as he questioned: "?"
Demons mastering divine magic wasn't actually that exaggerated;
faith could indeed be stolen, and some demons could cast certain divine magic through stealing faith.
However, the current situation seemed somewhat too exaggerated.
Because the divine magic Naimes was currently casting was called—
Divine Magic · Summon Petitioning Angel!
Demons mastering divine magic wasn't actually that exaggerated;
faith could indeed be stolen, and some demons could cast certain divine magic through stealing faith.
Compared to the old priest who had stood before the collapsed church earlier, Naimes now seemed more like God's spokesperson.
However, the current situation seemed somewhat too exaggerated.
With directed searching, a Petitioning Angel not in the divine realm but drifting alone in the astral plane was sensed by Naimes.
The summoning power began to manifest, magic arrays similarly appearing in the astral plane as that Petitioning Angel was drawn in, then passed through the barrier.
Subsequently, a Petitioning Angel appeared beside Naimes.
This wasn't the Petitioning Angel disguised by the old priest's spells earlier, but a true petitioner.
So-called petitioners were devout believers who ascended to the divine realm after death, transformed by God's great power to obtain far superior species and strength beyond humans.
In essence, any Petitioning Angel should possess gold-level species.
They might even be brought by deities to participate in divine wars, achieving certain effects in those conflicts.
However, after this Petitioning Angel appeared, the old priest breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this angel was severely injured.
Its original pair of wings now had only tattered feathers remaining, both eyes had turned completely hollow, with two lines of bloody tears falling from the empty sockets.
With directed searching, a Petitioning Angel not in the divine realm but drifting alone in the astral plane was sensed by Naimes.
But the old priest didn't let down his guard;
Naimes was a tactical expert, and at this critical moment, his every move wouldn't be meaningless.
The summoning power began to manifest, magic arrays similarly appearing in the astral plane as that Petitioning Angel was drawn in, then passed through the barrier.
"It really has been... so long, Anin... Naimes Anin!" Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar body, Naimes sighed with emotion.
[New identity acquired, commandments updated]
[Identity 3: Petitioning Angel - Naimes Anin]
This wasn't the Petitioning Angel illusion disguised by the old priest's spells earlier, but a true petitioner.
[Main Commandment: Serve God (fixed): Serve the deity, obey the deity.]
So-called petitioners were devout believers who ascended to the divine realm after death, transformed by God's great power to obtain far superior species and strength beyond humans.
[Main Law: Petition (fixed): Pray and draw closer to God, thereby obtaining divine power.]
In essence, any Petitioning Angel should possess gold-level species.
[Original body's innate supplemental ritual: Nonconformist (affected by unknown factors, undergoing unknown changes): Original body's cognition, behavior, and way of thinking are completely unconventional.]
[Commandment Feedback: Nonconformity brings great uncertainty to oneself, and due to unknown changes, this uncertainty is strengthened. Itself and surrounding individuals are difficult to accurately predict through prophetic abilities, often resulting in erroneous outcomes. Fate struggles to anchor nonconformists.]
Indeed, this Petitioning Angel before them was the identity Naimes had assumed after transmigrating.
As the second son of a minor noble, he learned the way of knights, became a prodigious holy knight, and made quite a name for himself.
After all, even Isabella who wasn't on the same Floating Whale had heard of Naimes' swordsmanship reputation.
And then...
And then he was made into a Petitioning Angel.
If the Oath God hadn't gone mad and started a war with the Abyss, and if he himself hadn't participated in it...
He probably wouldn't have found the opportunity to escape, fall into the Abyss, or conveniently seize the Oath God's divinity number.
His final memory was of this body being injured and left behind in the astral plane.
As for the divine magic to summon Petitioning Angels, this was carved onto the Petitioning Angels themselves.
As the main 'content' of this divine magic, learning a spell to summon oneself wasn't particularly difficult.
Naimes' True Spirit hidden within his soul had secretly studied this content.
Unfortunately, Petitioning Angels weren't as wonderful as described in religious teachings.
The church taught that devout believers would be received by God into the heavenly kingdom, where believers would be infused with divine power, thereby possessing eternal life, then continuously enjoying the heavenly kingdom's blessings.
"It really has been... so long, Anin... Naimes Anin!" Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar body, Naimes sighed with emotion.
Usually even their souls remained dormant;
if not for Naimes' extraordinary True Spirit construction, he truly wouldn't have been able to remain hidden.
"Ah, as expected, the faith within the Petitioning Angel contains faith that belongs to me," Naimes spoke thus.
The old priest over there now had no idea what was happening anymore. This demon who called himself Naimes was one moment a holy knight, another moment a demon, and yet another moment a Petitioning Angel.
This completely violated the common sense within the old priest's understanding.
But regardless, none of this mattered anymore. The only thing he could confirm was that the sole thing he needed to do before death was to take Naimes with him!
[Commandment Feedback: Possesses ultimate sacred attributes, unaffected by status or racial suppression, can harm Mythic Seeds.]
Naimes sensed the flow of faith power, then the originally anticipated proportion of faith power began to smelt and sublimate.
The half-melted Divine Nails on his body's Holy Bone completely melted, vast amounts of faith were transformed, then began to be guided, coalescing toward the direction Naimes intended.

[Commandment guidance, achieved!]
[Holy Bone guidance, achieved!]
[Self-contract, achieved!]
As the second son of a minor noble, he learned the way of knights, became a genius holy knight, and made quite a name for himself.
[Self-agreement, activated!]
A trait called 'Self-Agreement' condensed from vast amounts of faith power, becoming the best bridge between Naimes' demon form and his other identities.
The original situation where they weren't interconnected, requiring techniques like Dual Commandment Synchronization to resonate and obtain certain power, with extremely troublesome power trait invocation - this situation now disappeared.
As long as the Self-Agreement remained, it could be activated, allowing any of his identities to thereby obtain all of his power.
Naimes' current body rapidly burst into flames, like sparks in black smoke, or yet like stars in the night sky.
With a wave of his hand, a Petitioning Angel's sacred sword already appeared in his grasp.
