" Amazing to think you are such a natural at this " Lilith said as Cain ignores them reading the book " Yep I didn't think it would be this easy when I did this for the first time " " But you should make sure to keep this up every day and night else you want to get judgment from some angel "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHmnMVs6e9
All the sins were poured into the works emitting a dark sinister aura while the other pile emitted a glow " I have to admit you might be able to make an underground organization with this level "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJfeicTGh
" What can I say I'm a Count after all " Karma said ' He really should just replace Lucifer , even he doesn't have this much overflowing confidence ' Lilith sighed looking at the pile ' But he also has the skills and ability to back it up '
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeToINfjXsl
" It's not like I am the only one hiding it I am using Solomon's ring to help which I won't need as I get used to the burden " Karma sighs ' I plan to sell it to someone afterall ' " Lilith do you know anything about what the end of the world is supposed to be ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5QtWvlXBV
" Huh , Why are you asking something so depressing suddenly ? " Lilith questioned " Oh come on I just think it sounds weird and what's the word to describe people who disagree with you ? " " I don't know I only know racism , sexist "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNsmZzFbtB
" Favoritism that's the word I was looking for " " Is that your view of how the end was written " " The end of the bible did say some kind of complete destruction "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zGafAICL
" I don't think the world was destroyed that far that it was all gone rather there are simply four heralds at first and then it turned to all that complicated stuff "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVJhnsCzJ
Karma was curious and asked Lilith about it " Oh you think the lord is that omnipotent huh well even though I was cast out of Eden I did learn quite a lot from Lucifer " Karma listened to Lilith as she said .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEm785SyWn
" Lucie told me that god was still busy writing the bible back then I honestly had a hard time wondering why someone who only took seven days to make the world was having trouble writing the bible but I guess that's because it's about the future huh "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWFeGm9ElT
' This is troublesome I hate having the world end ' " Guess I have to do something about the end of the world as much as possible I want to finish the research I invested in " " What research " Karma smirked " Oh but this research was something that had lots of controversies "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9xMavcjc9
" What kind exactly ? " " A capsule meant to lengthen the life of a person while I'm at it an artificial human womb " Lilith was surprised by his investment and asked " Are you trying to advance the world to a scifi movie or something "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILADNe9tb
" Yeah sure let's call it "escaping the revelation of god" " Lilith was surprised as Cain said " I was just as surprised as you were finding this side of him " Cain said as he flipped to the next page " But you actually aren't planning that , are you ? This is serious business "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr0MbiCEmI
Karma nodded " I know after all we shouldn't be joking around like me " ' So you are intentionally doing that maybe you should be the demon prince of ignorance ' " Anyways Lilith why is there something called the scales of famine "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbMKAvHBgN
" Oh I'm sure Lucie has that " " Why ? " " Because the scales just inform one of the values of things on it , it doesn't hold any power at all " " Unlike the rest of the artifacts of the seven horsemen huh "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg1eC5w5ZI
" It's not horsemen rather it's heralds " " Why not horse ? " " Because it doesn't make sense for the lord to praise an animal other than a humans thus it is heralds who are humans , the first is conquest who will conquer lands "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVT1ZCvEhk
" I know the rest of course , as much as possible I want to be able to stop this revelation thing the four horsemen seem to be the first but in the first place it's more like the apocalypse is meant to prepare god's kingdom when it comes down to the earth basically making everyone serve him "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhFtN7GsD4
" You know the way you phrase it might make a lot of religious leaders mad at you " " Sure it's good to have an opposing opinion if not how would you develop as a character " Karma looks at the pile of works of the Count's founder " I should do something about these piles though "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Tw0dZOpv
Karma was pointing at the pile about magic " The one with natural powers born from god's creation " " Yeah do you know anything about it ? " Lilith shook her head " I am a demon so no one likes to get close to me " " Then Cain wouldn't know of it either " Karma concluded .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksh3Jf6LGR
Karma looks at the contracts from the first day ' Hmm Magic researcher huh ' he searches up the Founder looking at the section he is in ' " Guess I'll look into the magic academy of researching known magic sources "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarweOE35Jb
The files behind the magic showed some harsh reality of those outside the lord's grace " Hmm elemental beings huh ... It's true I kinda feel sorry for them " " Even though you didn't hesitate to use Solomon's ring on me "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzpr08pgxk
" Well I don't need to use it anyways and I promised to give you a job " Karma held the paper for summoning Lebo to hint " Ehh I'm responsible for extracting sins now ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl416BP5sWb
" Of course , there are more works closer to evil than good they are generally more hungry than the ones close to good plus with my halo generating merits from the development project that I did some of which are ongoing , I could fill up the rest of the works close to good but not the ones close to evil "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Kwkg16BP
" Don't you have a better job like an assisstant " " I already have one , also I am interested in the natural demons that manifest but now I'm curious about how magical beings are born too " " Don't you know about it ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAovG5svAew
Karma turned to Cain confused " Magical beings that are born from god's creation are born from the elements of said creations hence why you use elements that make up god's creation to categorize them but it doesn't mean they aren't savages They have high intellect "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ALctHzXg
Karma looks at the file reading about it " Actually something is interesting about the magical creatures ? " " Which is ? " Lilith asked " No reproductive ability incompatible with anyone and everyone "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91bF7F5h1B
" Cruel does that mean they can't enjoy one of life's pleasure " Lilith said " No but I think it's for the best after all they are all siblings and children of the same parent no half or step sibling but that's what they say " ' I confirm it's true while using Truth's ability
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT5gdQkwOX
" There is no problem with incest back then " Lilith said " Shut up just because there were no laws doesn't mean there aren't laws now "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb9PXBPxeZ
The two were reminded why they were now more restricted again as Karma reads more about it " They couldn't get a proper name for the parent they all came from but now they have one parent only how sad for them "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikiCNp0PCb
But no emotions were felt for the poor fatherless and motherless spirits " They take on so many forms " He looks at the pictures of some " I can understand if there were humans if they look like this ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRTw9ENGr6
" Are they supposed to look more beautiful " Lilith asked " No but rather cute take a look " Karma showed a picture of a spirit " Humans nowadays have weird taste "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKT2Of9qhz
" People just became more inclusive back then no one likes a face with freckles but some people find it cute although the entertainment industry has even made features like a scar more attractive "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtoL1YuCFC
Lilith was baffled by how much people's taste had changed " But you think that's cute ? " The picture showed a creepy-looking spirit that could earn a spot in a horror film " Come on the angels of the highest order are creepy but nowadays humans have made not creepy things creepy "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqXiuPwpXn
Karma opens an image of a hallway " Look people back then wouldn't be scared but people have imbued a fear of hallways due to the relevant movies involving hallways as jumpscares " " That's true "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrpZZn4RQd
" Which is why something that looks scary doesn't look scary because there is no suspense at all and just looking at it long enough you get used to it " " But why do you know so much about this ? " " I'm not just a businessman I also show heavy interest in psychology "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQllUX5LoSc
Lilith was confused more to learn other sides of the famous Count " I didn't know you had a side like this ? " " You didn't know about my joking side either and as someone from a family who has heavy influence around the world it is only natural for me to have several mask to take "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBdz9h1qHu
Karma closes the papers involving the magical beings " And I'm sure you know about the Founder's interest in magic and their collection already they bought so much it could last a family to live without work for a long time and yet he still could earn lots of money and make the house famous "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOlhSTPD09
Karma looked at the ring and told Lilith " Lilith can you keep the ring ? " Lilith froze looking at him with disbelief " You are asking a demon to hold it ? " " You already know what happens when a former human punished by god uses it plus I don't want a one-sided cooperation "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5amIwqfc0
' You used that on me and Lebo though ' " Plus I'm sure the magic community are smart enough to know not to do anything funny to me when I show up unlike some demons I know " Lilith felt attacked but kept quiet since she knows she did try something funny "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5oLnAsW3
" Passengers please take a seat as we are preparing for landing , fasten your seatbelts and wait for the pilot's announcement " " Looks like we are landing " Cain shuts the book as Karma takes it .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95jKdJdnYj
" I think I understand it " " Hopefully , you are going to do a lot of investigating and also tell Godfather that I got Lilith to my side don't make a single mention about the ring though just say she wanted to sleep one night but I talked her out of it to allying with me "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIibtHcB0PV
There was a desire to comment on what she wanted to say but with how easily Karma counters it ' I think I should just be quiet about it ' the plane lands and Karma starts to call for the forging of weapons busying himself while Lilith follows Karma as they board a car .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC7Gfp8SQe
' I normally would go for a snack but I ate a lot for brunch ' he hears the two starving and turns to them " Here take this card and go eat something " Karma drops them off at a restaurant as Cain finds the chance to tell Godfather about Lilith .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kTRyIuzi1
Karma summons Lebo in the car " Do you have a list of how many ores you have ? " " Yes I took the time to identify them all " ' For some reason Lebo knows a lot ' " Good then can you give me the list I'll buy some crates for them "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0akWKJ9wc
Lebo hesitates a bit which Karma noticed " Just say your thoughts out I'm not going to have people after you " " Then maybe you can buy these ones " Lebo showed his phone with a list of storage units .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOWJ8wt1q9
' Hmm I should leave this to someone with more knowledge ' " Alright in the meantime you should be able to mine ore right ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT719A4zGCH
" I don't have any manpower all those ores were things I mined for myself " " Don't you need manpower where were you planning to get some ? " " Uh from lesser demons they usually don't have enough knowledge or support so I intended to hire them "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXjTmReVcm
" Then I'll be sure to have the weapons processed and sold is it okay for the ores to be crafted by human hands ? " " I think it's fine after all humans have advanced a lot if you own the highest you might even be able to sell it at a high price "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKmY8ilQI2
' I do have the best crafting industry but I'm curious of one thing ' " Say Lebo why do you know a lot " " Ehh what do you mean ? " " I just want to confirm because usually demons are depicted to have a broad knowledge of a certain subject "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna3I4pKLaS
" Oh this is something usual for greater rank demons I'm at least not that lesser ranks which are newborn demons , I have extensive knowledge of anything related to minerals , crafting with anything metal but not woodwork , we also have some basic knowledge like mathematics , linguistic and I have knowledge of several languages that humans these days speak "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuuivNXGh
' For some reason , I feel like a demon for my extensive knowledge ' " But even if my rank is a bit high I still have to support myself and I don't have any lesser demon subordinates but I can assure you I have enough skills concerning mining and the minerals just not anything related to sins and the use of it "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjyymJumCy
" Okay then I'll call you back when I get the crates , actually is there any difference between the sin-extracted ores compared to the ores on this planet ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7C94nyGb
Lebo thinks recalling his knowledge " Not at all , sins-extracted ores at best just have a history of being affected by sins , they shouldn't be any different than ores of the same name , mother Lilith removed all the sins perfectly so the ores are back to normal "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1mZVACWHz
" Then I'll just give you the weapons first , but do bullets work against the natural demons " " Uh not that I think they can but nobody really uses it "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnC9497jBm
" Then maybe some strong cold weapons should work " ' Demons do have a lot of strength so if they have a weapon that can handle their strength it will be the bare minimum '
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nryWBzZHR
" Is that okay ? " " It is , I'll dish in sharpness too , this way the weapon has some uniqueness amongst others " ' A cold weapon made by the Count's family I remember that they were able to take many industries under them '
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrWC9SGhbo
" I do want to see if a gun would work on them so I'll lend you some " " Really ? " Lebo said and the expression he showed made his small form look cuter that he doesn't look like a sinful demon not like he was one in the first place .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdzYN3slhr
" Yes I will " ' But I should see if Isir is busy or not ' Lebo leaves excited while Karma texted "Isir are you done" "Yes boss" "Good then I want to ask" ... "Boss are we preparing to fight against some monsters ?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPyJD9RgrR
"You're not exactly wrong with that but no I'm supplying weapons to sell there is currency in the higher society that I don't plan to use because it's kinda like bitcoin" "Oh so you plan to sell these weapons in the money's place ?"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhdS2xjUFh
"Yes , the money generated by doing deeds that benefits , this might generate more from development so I plan to expand my influence to develop more areas " "I see so that your halo can become much more useful"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzZqO3nnIK
"That's right I plan to do that , Isir you might have some merits but you have to recall your good deeds to manifest your halo" "Ahh I can have an arachne compile them and summon my halo" "That's right also it seems the halo can regenerate the merit as long as you have good deeds in benefiting other's in progress"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo1gr5yPnS
"Oh and Boss is it possible for me to use the higher society network" "Oh sure I'll do it the ports in this phone are pretty much the same" Karma plugs it as Isir instantly gets access "I got it , I'll be sure to take over the web"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb2bx0SCYS
"No don't , who knows what kind of firewalls they have in that" "Fine I'll do my best with surface-level information" "Thanks" "I'll be sure to have the weapons sent without anyone being alerted" "Thanks for that too , By the way I should digitalize the books Mihr sent you can learn the uses of a halo with that"
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fYap6X9UH
' And maybe learn them for me but I do have the akasha ' He thought about what he said " Wait a minute digitalize books ? " as if he received an epiphany he looked at the folder for the akasha project .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAsSwHQTAr
"Currently we are having trouble typing the information down" " The biggest waste of time in the project was manually writing everything why do they never have any ... Wait calm down in the first place Isir was the one who invented the physical-to-digital converter ... yes it makes sense "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWkEc0jb4p
Karma smiled but frowns " I can't believe they didn't research book-to-ebook conversion first it could have solved their typing problem ... don't tell me they don't have copy and paste either but that it is impossible in the first place the device Isir made was something that uses a powerful AI to operate in the first place "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfDcYer5sI
' If it wasn't powerful enough the device would be useless and could only take pictures ... the only harmful part of the auto mode was that it would destroy the spine so that the book could be easy to convert ' he knows how terrible the idea was and chose to do the time-consuming one .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OYa2PLeWR
" If I make a mistake they can just call for me to send the missing pages anyways " Karma said looking at the phone and seeing Isir's message "I'll send one to the villa you are staying on" ' Did they look at the text I sent to James ? Well I didn't restrict them that far and this is fine '
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNrw6SFQuD
"Thanks" ' But how will Isir have any way to regenerate their halo ... Oh right their hobbies ' " Okay money making Arachne I'll duplicate you and expand your scope " Isir sent golden Arachnes through the stock market exchange intending to make use of them .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1i1GjiNpp
' By following the trend they can buy more stocks that will gain valueand sell for money with that I can use that same money to invest in companies with initial investments yet it's perfect for generating Merit ' Isir thought as more and more small companies are being invested much earlier than they initially expected .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtpIa1UKa
" Hehe Angel Halo here I come " Cain and Lilith returned to the car " Lilith I have a job for you it's I don't want to do so I'll leave it to you " ' I'll dump this responsibility to Lilith and she will mind '
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DJXsjL95b
"Isir can you also hide a delivery I'm about to make , I plan to send a list of equipment as an investment for the demons" Karma left the message and checked the one who is responsible for Akasha .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GdLaDUQMq
Karma called the number given to him " Hello " " Hello sir who is this ? " " It's Karma count I'm here about the investment on the Akasha project " he hears something happen likely caused by the shock .
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7BhfOtnoI
" Is this okay aren't you busy ? " " Not at all , but I do like to make use of the project for cutting my time also you said you use a computer to compile data so that you can send it to someone's mind to digest for learning right ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXC1hNbgic
" Yes ? " " Then I'm sending a special device too but the location would be a bit secluded do you think it's okay for us to use a summoning portal to let you go through it ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMseWUSyS9N
The manager thought for a while " Yes we can but where is the location " " That'll be sent when I get to the location for now prepare to move your equipment I plan to invest in you , by giving you equipment "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kM1d1OpA
" Is that okay ? " " Yeah it's fine you were planning to use the merit to buy them plus I have some devices that no one has which could boost your research "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvkXA4LLcP
The call ends as Karma texted and Lilith was generally confused " Why didn't you give them any merit in the first place I watched a reality show about private investing yet you gave them better equipment instead isn't it better to use money "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXiWk77kFA
Karma nodded at Lilith " But I won't be able to generate more merit at all , it might be detrimental to my use of the halo , plus I don't intend to use something as valuable as Merit with money "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjSWRS1C1
" The greedy family of the Count doesn't want money how surprising " Cain said " Just because my family became powerful and rich doesn't we are that focused on money . Money is just a resource we keep in a safety vault it's useless if we have so much so it'd be better to have money work which is investments "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpg6DNcm4K
" I appreciate the business lesson but you don't have merit how will you make more merit " Cain said " Are you an idiot Cain ? Unlike mortal's money merit can't be used to make more merit for Karma that is the law that is applied in Merit's generating nature after all "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8U6a6PTqb
" She's right Cain , Merit can only be generated if you do some actual contributions without it's use . Should that explain why some angels don't use their powers directly but rather use their knowledge ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2j8MZdSYi
" Yes that's right , Angels don't use their powers that are deeply connected to merit , instead they exercise their knowledge to guide mortals "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sxWL34bbe
Lilith explained " That makes sense no wonder angel's powers are not very known " " Correct but Cain maybe you really should go to school how can you be this stupid ? " " I don't have any contacts with higher society I've been hiding "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoUFNXNNJH
" So have I " " I'll just have to let Cain go through education then , I'll leave that to you Lilith " " More jobs for me huh ? " " I pay my workers fairly " " meaning I have to make your money's worth " Lilith sighed but didn't argue any further .

Godfather crushed the phone smashing it on the ground " How the hell did he get Lilith to his side that btch has been avoiding me like a plague I thought she was starting to be okay but she just wanted to have a night with him and ended up his ally ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6lNP0Fhqy
Godfather recalled that he had done it with Lilith too and became more angry . If it wasn't for the fact that Rochester extended his lifespan for him he would have died of high blood pressure " Sir a call "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dHahTj8l5
Godfather or rather William took the phone hearing " I want to expel you from my list of customers you are not useful anymore " ' What !? Did he find out ' " Sir I was doing it to avoid the spider web ? "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEX1nyE4VH
" Then care to explain ? " " The spider web can detect any communication if it weren't for the hybrid creation of our devices I wouldn't risk talking through it " " Is that right ? " " Yes since the server is still in low development because of my funds I couldn't recreate a proper server at all "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmjwz3gkVT
" Hoh then be sure to have it complete and send me a burner account I will send you the money to improve your servers " " Yes sir " the call ends as Willian sweats " You get ready and tell them to start the plans we have money coming and prepare a burner account "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyPhcp5mGV
A sigh was heard from Isir as they took out the voice changer device " Man it sure is boring , but I figured a lot of things now , a hybrid creation of modern and higher society's technology , no wonder I had a hard time but it's quite easy no wonder I wasn't able to detect it with traditional set "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBczDy2TnPJ
Isir decides to set up to upgrade their current spider web network " But then there is this " Isir takes a look at the call he had with the demons " Hmm so that's what they want to do to learn about something hmm "
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwZY9hwKFg
' hmm ? ' "Boss I heard your conversation with the people behind Akasha if you let me in I can help them" "Sure I'll introduce you to the demons I'm sure you won't be afraid" "No worries demons are nothing to me"
