Karma looks at the pile of gifts he was given as Truth spoke " Aren't you going to open them ? " " I would but who knows what would happen if Lilith barges out and burns like a vampire at noon " " That demon back then was burning a lot "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYEDYo0uUu
" Maybe I should invest in protective measures against Merits for demons it will be popular for demons to learn the works of angels maybe the same for the opposite " " You care for convenience , don't you ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvs8hDnAs1
" Yep that's why I think you need a proper body I could have a robot sent to our location but since you can only influence information I don't think something as physical as limbs are easy for you or else you would essentially be a ghost "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhosMtjvBW
" I can play a few games " " That's right but you wouldn't be able to move that's where my worry goes , But I do like making things convenient or rather much more fulfilling and more sustainable "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2KMMB0hc
Karma senses the likely thoughts Truth would have " For example I made a lunch subscription for very affordable and full of nutritional food for offices just like how I try to make the most optimal sleeping conditions because of the cheap room conditioning I was able to earn plenty of money from it because everyone liked it "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFBZbcguo
Taking one gift from the pile he checks what it was using the network " This is a lot of strange gifts It is supposed to grant the usual stuff angels would grant blessing for health , protection but then again they probably thought gifting me a fortune blessing was like making me drink water when I have an ocean "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH2rVSWuhc
" That just shows how rich you are " " Yeah even angels think it's disrespectful to give me money when I have a fortune but look they gave me something more valuable than money apparently " " Is it the translation text for the divine language enochian " " No the count has the text for that already "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr54m9MBzcS
" What is it then ? " Karma takes out a glowing white book " It looks nice " He could see that it was a gift from the first sphere " The entire first Sphere gave me a book " " Why would they give you a book ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6Y2KwmVH
Karma reads out the instructions for the book " "This gift is also embedded with the powers of the first sphere our lord" which means I should have the entire angels' power and for fair exchange I have to give enough merit for their power " the Lord was overly decorated but didn't take all of Karma's attention .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf3SP1hnbO
" But isn't it a little too thin ? " " Because this is a manual " Karma grabs the real gift " Another scales ? " " Lilith had one too " " Yeah but it seems like this one is directly fused with the power look it's like a merit circuit but it can mold itself maybe it's because the first spheres have it that it seems very powerful "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShwvrW5HW
" Can I try ? " Karma looks at Truth " I don't think so you were just born a few days ago so I doubt you would be able to make any " " Okay " Truth said with a lot of disappointment in their voice " Oh well I'm sure you can do a lot of things when you get a form like how Dream could turn into a butterfly "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyoi418RHL
Karma reads the manual diligently and soon enough he will be enjoying coffee as the sun rises " AHH so peaceful " he reads what the scales will grant him depending on the merit placed ' It can even be fused with my halo '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYEkYP8iwF
The door to Lilith's room slams open as Karma waits for her to wake Cain up and then runs down and stares at Karma " I need your help " " Your offer ? " " I'll make a contract so as to guarantee your high-ranking position in hell "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UcDaYZL0p
Karma smiles " Take out the scales of famine and we will talk " Lilith grumbled as she slammed the scales down " I offer Karma Count a high-ranking position similar to mine in exchange for his help in stopping the monster "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawX1DFWYK
The scales barely balance as Karma's plate weighted heavier , Lilith grumbles " The rank I'm going to give allows access to Hell which will come into the form of a specialized spell only Karma can activate to go to any part of hell , This also allows him the same authority as mine "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQrVlFZmgC
Karma smiled as the plate remained unmoved " Do you even know how much my help is worth when stopping that monster ? " Lilith looks at him with eyes suppressing her anger .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqhzhQYe4O
" That monster isn't just a tiny part it will soon become very big hence why you don't know the extent of the monster's ability and the rewards you have to give me if you want my help against that "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91WfBFuVf
" I'LL GIVE YOU ALL OF MY PROPERTIES IN HELL " Despite that it didn't budge as Lilith fell into despair " Is it your children I guess even you have great feelings towards them being the mother of demons "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuHOj7iv0D
" Your sins " Karma turned to her " I'll get you a way to use both sins and merit I know a person like you who is involved with the underworld also has such things like sins " She looks at the scales gifted to him by the first sphere .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYMbdGYd6y
" And I know the offer to use two opposing forces is very tempting to you " She slams the table as her face moves closer towards Karma " You are someone who likes to have something out of the books so I will offer you the teachings of using merit and sins all together or one of the Nephalem's teachings "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB64m0gdiJG
Karma smiled as the scales tilted " so my final offer is to grant you my rank , All my property , Nephalem's teachings and the scales of famine " the plate finally balanced as Karma said " No " Lilith watched as his plate grew heavier .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb96UwrTkJ
" You can keep the scales , hold on to them for me " Karma smiles and signs the contract she does the same too " Let's go then " Lilith was surprised " You are going to hell without anything ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGInaY9HTHt
" You know the giant piece already if that thing you saw were to use the giant piece to become a bigger threat I can't say I can deal with it with guns maybe a nuke would but I can't trouble Isir to hide something big "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdjh09mXd
Lilith recalled the monster swatting demons away to get the natural demon's empty vessels and sometimes extracting the sins from demons before throwing them away " It might grow smarter with more so we gotta get rid of it don't you think ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkp5fLSEp
Lilith nodded as Karma held the scales given to him " You don't have to worry though the scales the angels gave me have a certain level of protection with enough power to even prevent the devil from doing a lot to me " " Fine I'll open a portal where do you want to go "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1XKbtFyoJ
" How about dropping me off at the cave itself " He looks at Truth giving them a little assurance as Cain wonders if Karma is looking at him " But that is where the beast is " Lilith said with a reminder of what she encountered " If you are that afraid then just drop me off and close the portal "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5552HlaWdo
Lilith felt hesitant " Cain go with him " " No Cain will stay here and Cain please tell William that I gave the original bible to heaven and I was gifted for it with some artifacts from heaven and that I am headed to hell to solve a problem "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7FfyQUx6
" Got it " " Okay now Lilith if you don't send me now you will make that monster accelerate its growth " Karma smiles as he appears in a cave with the lake black again .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqLQ7Ouk3
...
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3p8ZPZxib
Karma tells Cain the story about his birth " I was supposed to be dead ending the entire Count bloodline but you could say the pregnancy went well because the guardian was able to fix me up and remember the theory I had about the Count having some law of attraction that bends the space of the dream realm to attract ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpmpszC8v
" Yes you did " " Apparently that was the reason for the difficulties this also had somehow affected my mother when she was dying from the attraction because well she was carrying an infant with a heavy presence that was like a black hole in the dream which caused her to start to hallucinate "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFMJYu6wIu
" When ? " " The records said it was somewhere around the first month but it was simply so simple mother even said she had hallucinations of a figure but it was too foggy or was blurred some way to see " " Your mother met the guardian ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNSyab6bIw
" Yep and I was being fixed " " By the guardian " Karma nodded and continued " But in doing so some of their parts were being sucked into me I can recall them but let's just say the fixing continued from there but eventually as soon as I was born I was held in the arms of what is was my last living relative who slowly died during the first hours of my human life saddening isn't it "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfXFu3hHfq
" But the media said they were alive and merely undetected " " That's the lie made by the time I was born I was already ready to face this gifted life of mine without parents but then that accursed butler of mine took me to the house and made me suck on the breast of several women I can't say it tastes bad "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwVz3C91K1
' I'm glad I don't remember being breastfed by Mother ' " Are you saying you had memories when you were born ? " " Yes of course I was in the first place absorbing parts of the guardian " Cain was processing such information that should be state secret if presidents knew .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJ9b3XmSv
" By the way , even the guardian has a density that could fit a black hole if you were to unleash them into the real world but luckily they also mastered maintaining the gravitational pull of memories so they don't get swarmed by memories that are forgotten "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Vm9o6zXt
Cain looks at him " Those that mean I will forget more if I stay close to you ? " " Not at all because I can also do the same " Cain was trying his best not to ask so many questions because he kept being insulted for being clueless ' He must've absorbed their experience '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHOeoc6Gmq
...
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndH9p0WQ3D
' now I haven't tested this gravitational thing out yet since it's quite hard to picture a black hole to be weaponized other than as a wide sale bomb ' He looks at the lake and puts the scale down .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiplgWZpuQ2
' Right now I'm more afraid of something getting out of the lake but the recent earthquake in the news tells me I should be more careful . I also shouldn't say a red flag else I want to jinx it ' Karma held the pillar of the scales as it transformed into a sword separating itself from the measuring parts of the scales .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz0LJvjRSd
" The sword of judgment that comes along with the scales , this might be coming from the story of a prostitute being stoned but only the one who has no sin could do so " the scales start to tilt as one side glew bright gold while the other has nothing .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpAhqzYF6g
Meanwhile , the sword glows very brightly according to the amount of merit Karma has " Hmm the sword works but what if I reveal some sins with it " Karma shook the thought away suspecting he might lose the sword's power .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbu2y4rgcv
' For now , I'll free my other hand hopefully those sword lessons will be useful ' The scales floated as his halo seemed to have absorbed it ' The manual was helpful and very intriguing ' he looked at the black lake .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k7JHnwDNr
He held the sword and poked the edge as the sins avoided the sword revealing not a ground under the lake but acting as a barrier towards a bigger monster as they slammed into him " Surprising "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOovLcRabQ
Karma wasn't afraid at all as he watched the strange monster that had a slight resemblance to the natural demons he saw on the news ' I guess it's fine for me to cheat a bit hopefully god doesn't ban me like those admins in esports tournaments '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZ2VpBlWn
Karma pokes through the barrier as he dives down with his halo and summons some wings ' These wings are hard to fly with , maybe try a little more unorthodox ' his white wings turn into several bluish streams of light sprouting from his halo which sits a little close but not attached to his back .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKFCyTyiuc
Karma marveled at the ecosystem as he looked at the numerous terrifying beings who fought like it was a jungle with no king " Wow it would be amazing if everything wasn't in dark colors "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qErog1EGW
The new ecosystem he was introduced to was no different than hell except more chaotic composed of natural demons who desire to kill as he watched fallen ones come back to life .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3d12CIhXm
' It seems like they use sins as fuel , then what was that monster that came out ? A supplier of sorts ? But the news proved there was nothing like that appearing before maybe , It had to do with the disposal of natural demons or it just appeared because I gave my blood pack to Cain ? '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3vV86EozW
Karma wanted to confirm as a natural demon appeared behind him he quickly swung the sword killing it or at least keeping it down as this thing can't exactly die " This works as the manual said it would "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfZ1RQiJZR
Karma watched as black streams of sin were channeled into the demon ' I see so that is how it works ' Karma wanted to pierce the skin but figured he would need to prepare ' First the sword of scales can be in constant use without merit so I should pour some merit to form a shield of sorts '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTXilZuQ5v
His halo dims as a barrier of light covers Karma , After it appears he stabs the ground as the darkness is dispelled making the streams of sin move ' So in the end it just keeps any sins from getting close to me seems kinda useful though '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXX3ygUssm
Some demons start to charge at him as they collide with the range of sin dispelling the effect of becoming limp as a dark aura is pushed out showing the range similar to how smoke revealed the sun's rays .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOesKsiIllT
' There is some stream of sin on their tail ' Karma watched as the other demons remained vigilant towards him ' Natural demons feel a bit too long maybe Infernals make more sense as they are more natural habitants of hell than the fallen angels '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3lKMbq3lq
The infernals that Karma has named coming from a certain popular game he played were stalking him just like any infernals outside this giant piece that was theoretically thought to be related to the founder's friend .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVM0jOpUgZ
Karma looked around as he decided to use the gravitational pull of his unique lineage , which he had never used because it seemed too harmful for his human body as some infernals felt a strong pull .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB7tPoHFyt
The ground was very lucky as there was no tiny matter that could float as everything seemed tightly bonded ' They are running that's good ' he looked around disabling the pull as he walked out with the sword in hand .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN30P9jAbt
' I hope I encounter something soon ' As he walked as usual he was constantly being attacked by infernals whom he kept striking with the sword ' For one I thought I would gain the attention if I came here with this glowing ... Wings ? '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Nbb7FoGF
He wasn't sure what to call the streams of light that could be identified as tentacles while he walked through the new hell he was experiencing someone watched him from afar . Very far yet this stalker doesn't have what we can call a will as this being only acts on instinct similar to a machine .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZZsbCTMSa
But it knows very well that Karma could spell their death and had to keep out from him watching him from afar . Karma looks around feeling the great intent from his stalker .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNOmirpgC
' I can't exactly sneak behind it's quite far but I am here to ... take care of the problem seeing as I can't aim for them I should use the sinless stone '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqp1uPSzu9
The scales weighted his merit as a stone appeared with the text on his halo "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" Karma dropped the stone as it tracked and flew the monster ' That monster is essentially someone without sin '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0YlPNCy5
And the stone was made to be given to those who are sinless to be thrown which makes for a good medium " Got you " Karma stabbed the monster through a portal he made as he grabbed the body and dragged it before he could expend more merit .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN98wTHPVQA
' With this , I finished the problem ... But what about those that come after since I'll be paying hell countless visits they might be more active in accelerating their growth ' Karma sighed and wondered if he has to do something about it . '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ifXq2mqS
' Leave the scales ? No , even if I could it's useless if it can't work on these Infernals who might shed out their sins like this corpse here ' he looked at the corpse wondering what to do as he looked at the veins glowing .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTCYLT4M2Y
" Shit " Karma kicks the corpse away and retrieves the merit that the corpse somehow absorbed ' As I would've thought soon ' He thrust the sword to create a dispelling field as he examined the corpse keeping the streams of merit away .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9AUBU5dDv
' If the same giant piece is in heaven there is no doubt there will be more of these monsters guess I have to figure out how to keep them at bay first ' For all Karma knew this giant piece was expanding but not enough to make hell aware of it while it absorbed sins to create bloodthirsty who somehow spread out .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqI6pJZJ4o
' As for who made that barrier I can only think it wasn't a barrier but a transparent skin just like how infection cannot enter someone through their tough skin it can if it is dense enough or injected '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI048utpmlz
He used biology to explain how the infernals have yet to invade the entirety of hell concluding that the piece was likely experiencing a cancer which is the infernals .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jwZuWF0df
" But who cares what kind of sickness it is even these can be weaponized but I can solve this can I not " Karma smiled as he recalled his special bloodline's ability to act as something similar to a black hole in the special realm of dreaming .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ITL5EgT0
He chuckled because if there wasn't the interference of the guardian what would've happened to the baby if it had appeared and uncontrollably become a black hole ' But then again that wouldn't be possible it would take countless years for several of such bloodline to concentrate to one person '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxVTQtKtnV
Karma has a great wealth of knowledge thanks to this and was even using this to offset the side effects of akasha but this wasn't the problem he was focused on taking the sins away himself ' I have some experience so I'll have Lilith teach me all about sins but for now I just hope that I can absorb this thing '
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV7bGTA4MS
Karma picks up the stone and tries to find other similar monsters grateful that there is only one " Hmm that's good " Karma flies back with the corpse in tow as he opens a portal out of hell .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyQCKloL95
" Here I finished your dirty work " The corpse fell as Lilith was amazed " How ? " Karma smiled and turned to Cain who understood how he managed to do it " Now first I want you to teach me about sins "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTblrrLjFV
" But you didn't want to listen " " Then just have the books prepared so that I can absorb that knowledge " Lilith sighed " Fine " she looked at the corpse " You can have it maybe use it for my benefit "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnz0Kt67ah
Lilith nodded and took the corpse as Karma smiled and sat with Cain waiting for her to disappear " I confirmed that the giant piece is the one I'm looking for " " Are you going to heaven to get it too ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pNyoAcEW1
" No right now the pieces are sick " Cain was confused " You know what cancer is right ? That's what the lost pieces are experiencing maybe because of the high concentration of sins " " So you think the same is occurring in heaven ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0IJFroPH3
" Exactly , but as for why " Karma turns to where Lilith disappeared " I think I know " " Is it something hell did to keep it at bay ? " Karma smiled " Maybe the same is for the heaven piece "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif65qijv7w
" That's what we are calling it now ? " " I call the demons that live inside the hell piece infernals because they feel more like the real animals in a jungle "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vh1USITe
Cain sighed as Karma looked at Truth typing down "It was easy with the gifts from angels" Truth sent a happy emoji as Cain wondered who Karma was talking to " William had a quick response but told me to stay low also he seemed to have stopped coming in contact with Rochester "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXCWxtRONU
Karma checked his phone and smiled as Cain knew what that smile meant " Did you do something ? " " Kinda " Karma typed on his phone texting with Isir as the TV started showing some warzone " Boss I tracked down Rochester's operations "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIzsbCabBf
" Meaning ? " " I found how he has been supplying his lifespan business here I found the footage " images of dug-up coffins were taken out " I had some forensics on how much the body decayed which doesn't match the previous records it's likely he has been doing this in secret "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgXRF71WsM
" But you couldn't find him ? " " Yeah it seems he halted all use of technology as soon as he heard that William was improving the system maybe he was afraid to get caught by the higher society "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngU1wI3VA
" Who wouldn't " Cain said as Isir compiled some data " I was able to find the earliest records to get his background and with the information you provided I stimulated Rochester with an AI and I was able to use that to narrow my searches and found where he could be "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYeWfx88v
Karma waited as Isir revealed " He would likely be in the magic community of nature it's pretty close to where you went and he might be seeking refuge but when I accessed the community's database I learned that they essentially don't take Rochester's works as legal "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHkFmu6DvE
" So are they planning an arrest ? " " They can't do that without finding him and even the angels were looking for him " " I wonder if this man is just arrogant or stupid thinking he could get away with defying the laws of nature for his benefit "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE4HeFTzih
" Do you want me to find him ? " " Sure as for William well I'm not sure I intended to beat him and never expected him to raise up I thought It would take a long while until he could get back to his own feet "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQxZkS55g
" Are you going to kill him " " No I'm not that murderous ... " Cain stares at him as Karma sighed " Alright I was planning to deal with him one way or another but killing just isn't the first option " " So what should I do boss ? "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTc617Ccof
" First we want to trace Rochester and squeeze out all of his worth before we hand him to whatever authorities are responsible " " The magic community wanted to extract his affinity in life so he can't use it as they said it was a great stain for someone to have a little part of their parent being abused "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC9oV6oidx
" Too bad but , they sure love their parent despite not being raised " Cain said as Karma listened to Isir's reply " That's only because their parent was the reason they didn't need to be raised after all any of these magical children have some extent of initial memory that allows them to be aware somewhere lucky to be born with extensive knowledge of different fields too "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1rPdpTC1y
Karma wondered why they have initial memories " Apparently all of them had a little bit of the will of their parent . But it was too abstract for me to pinpoint " " It's alright all we have to do is complete the arrest of Rochester and hand him to the community "
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HvEOlz97t
" Then we need him alive " Cain said as Karma looked at him " No I am not good at doing that " " I wasn't going to do that you can make plants stop growing fruits right ? " Cain's gears started to spin as he understood .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bl3ZJW6DS
" You want me to farm ? "
