" Uhm Boss Karma what is this ? " Karma sat on a bench with several young magical creatures sleeping on him " No idea is this because of my greater earth aspect affinities ? " " It might be I do feel safe for some reason probably because there is someone I can trust "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfCaitb5lg
" Then can you pick up this kid and get them their documents " " Yeah but I don't know about raising them " Karma tilts his head wondering what she meant .

" After all those magic ores are like excrement to magical beings I probably smell like a stray dog that rummaged through the trash from the human world "

" So is that why only humans are your customers ? " " Yep but I managed to purify it to a great extent one earth child bought it I intend to spread this product " " Yeah but the equipment you asked for is going to take a while to build it might not be finished today "

" Then I can wait what is months if I have lived for years already " ' It would be days though " " Ehh really ? " Lulu had a shock expression " Of course it would be you might get it by tommorow "

' Now that I think about it this child seems to know a lot of knowledge is it because they are born with enough memories to skip natural child development but that makes sense maybe the pieces they pieced together were initial memories '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmSJjTETSq
Lulu waited for Karma to talk as got off the bench leaving some children behind and walked to Lulu with some sticking to him " Then I should at least send some shampoo to clean out that dirt on you " " It's not that easy " " I'll make it easy you can find someone who can do that and use my name "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23cDt3oQI5
Karma pulls a card from his backpack and signs it " Here you should know that this one is an authentic card that guarantees my backing use that to whoever is developing shampoo or something alike "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hJXtKcQAU
Lulu couldn't believe that she just got his backing in an obvious business card " Thank you so much " " Yeah yeah " ' Kinda glad I can't smell what she is others are smelling is it because I have a human body ? '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFTPnFNaa0
Karma looks at the vial he pours the mixture that portals him to the ID processing room recalling what the fairy said " By the way sir I have to update your vial so that you don't end up here you can just go to a gate station and have your coordinates entered then we can send you back "

Cain watches Lilith use the scale of famine on the food she cooked " Oh it works so well " " It would be terrifying if you can starve people with these " " Is that something you should say ? I'm sure your curse can do that you know starve people to death "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSELTx7es5
Karma stopped outside thinking about what Lilith had said ' Now that I think about it , the four horsemen are like weapons for god , first horsemen carries a bow and wears a crown but if I can tell from what it was written as '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dfOFfVmqW
First horsemen should have been conquest but they carry a bow likely to be used to win wars ' It might represent plague and conquest alike , meanwhile , War is basically to make everyone against each other , Famine uses scales but how do the horsemen make food worth more ? Inflation ? No Lilith said even Cain could starve others if he were the farmer so that would make his power something of the third horsemen ? '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGMI1eMcky
Karma enters the door as he looks at Lilith " Karma Lilith sold a copy to Lucifer do you think she did ? " " Yeah I did " ' I suspected much , but I might have to do something about it ' " For now I will have to get it back " ' I knew she lied about selling a fake '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rLw0Jli3L
" Hmm but how are you going to get it back ? " Lilith said with a smile " I'm gonna corner him and remove all of his options " Karma looked at the fake ring Lilith had and put it on " You know that doesn't work "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNwszohmQo
" I know you want to get back at Lucifer so wouldn't you have made a situation where I am forced to grab him by the neck ? " Lilith smiles as Cain feels like some side character while two devious and cunning main characters face each other .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYHMnqUbAm
" I hinted to you some valuable information , didn't I ? " " You did Lilith , thanks for that " Cain looked at their wicked smiles that spelled out trouble to those they were plotting against " Uh exactly what kind of hints did Lilith drop ? "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkFaP0S6V9
They both stared at him and said in unison " You are damn clueless " Karma received a text " Oh looks like that place is ready but before that " "Isir , I went to the magical community and found out some information about them I also got dragged into investing a business of jewelry making I have some blueprints can you start the production ?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGySTZer5bL
"Sure boss I was just about to tell you that I forced William to improve the servers overnight this way I can operate the spider web even more of course I won't dig too deep but I also won't use Merit but I can replace Merit entirely"

"Don't destroy the value of something so easily Isir , Who knows what kind of demons would go after your soul" "Speaking of demon eating souls , I found that the reason why demon deals about selling the devil their souls have decreased is because the quality of people's lives and the emotions they feel are becoming harder to handle"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17vi0rOSRo
"Interesting , maybe Lilith can tell us a deeper answer I forgot to mention her sorry about that" "Boss shouldn't you be careful with the mother of demons ?" "I would but she is more cooperative than I thought she did force me to face to face with Lucifer after trading it with a certain item"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLPBXVYsr
"Am I allowed to know ?" "Of course I was going to tell you anyways , From the looks of it the Solomon ring in the collection was somehow the real deal and I was able to control Lilith" "Then how did she trade it"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNql9b9XJwP
"I simply let her keep it and she decided to sell it to Lucifer in exchange for the scales of Famine" "What !!! Why did she choose the scales isn't that for measuring value only ?" "She is a devious fellow you know she made it so I can connect the dots myself ."
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb2QdegWt9
"So boss are you telling me that Famine is in the form of Cain's curse and the scales ?" "Yes dear Cain's curse is meant to starve people while the scales are meant to control the power"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToB9XZCZOo
"Boss why is Lilith using your phone" "He's thirsty don't you need to know more to be of assistance" "Then is Conquest in the form of Solomon ring ? Why is war specifically a sword ? Is death supposed to be a combination of all ?"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12S660B4Qk
"One at a time , But yes Conquest is the ring or rather Conquest is one of the weapons of the white herald , The other is a bow which represents Pestilence you might have to look for that I don't even know where it is"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRYIvQGxk
"But what about war if war is meant to make people fight each other" "The hint here is division hence why it is a sword meant for cutting" "Then famine is obvious but Death"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6DVskbpo6
Lilith smiled as she typed "No idea" Isir sighed and Karma got his phone back reading what Lilith told Isir " Looks like I have a lot to do best start with the first huh ? " Karma looks at the order of weapons being delivered and sighs .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JYgWWQqrg
' It's for the world after all but I should figure it out ' Karma took his leave so that he could properly arrange the Akasha project " By the way Lilith since you and Cain have nothing to do can you take him to hell ? " " Sure sure I'll be sure he isn't pinned down by some contract "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphMKlnyK7M
Karma waves them goodbye as the two enter hell while Isir tries to find where pestilence is ' The ice caps might be good but if it is pestilence which is about sickness the most suitable form it could take would've been a plague why use a symbol of a bow '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LWIaV5EvR
Isir couldn't make any sense out of god's works and his mysterious ways " I should just create an Arachne with a wealth of medical knowledge first in case a plague starts to appear somewhere as a first sign that god decided it's time to bring his kingdom down "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWhgsz39fM
While creating an Arachne Isir was also researching why pestilence or plague was in the form of a bow " Maybe it is supposed to be an arrow , then is the bow supposed to represent the rats and fleas that spread it is this part about wild beasts in the verse about the fourth horsemen ? Maybe that's why the first horsemen carry a crown it's to spread the plague "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sl8xnggu
There were some counts where the first horsemen was depicted as pestilence rather than conquest " That makes a lot of sense the science of plague says it needs to spread so maybe it makes sense they use the solomon's ring can let someone communicate but if you can control demons why not animals too , it can even control the elements of the world so it would make sense to spread the plague via wind , water "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhXii9Ynx
Isir nodded at their theory and devised a plan to counter it and at least find out the arrows of pestilence ' the bow and the crown are the ring itself while the arrows are the manifestation of the plague ' " I should send this theory to boss maybe he knows more "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGFhMaSV9
"This is quite hard even for me I only know about famine and war because of Lilith and conquest was from the collection but the plague is hard the count family has only been able to counter the plague by commissioning plague doctors and improving medical technology"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN88TZziI9
"But they wouldn't have any plague arrows at all" "Yes , but what if rather than that the plague is something else like a weapon for conquest to conquer hence the bow what if they use Solomon's ring to melt the ice caps which they use to spread plagues"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00kJyZXeM9
"That makes the most sense after all , if so should I eliminate the plagues then ?" "No first I should get the ring back and then eliminate the plagues sealed in ice we might be able to use one of the Solomon's ring abilities of healing" "Okay boss I'll look into War then"

" Cain " Lilith said as he stood on hell " Exactly what are you doing ? " " Is any of my family here ? " " Even if they are I would be careful not to bring them close to you , even if I am a woman I am not a woman who likes to watch family dramas like yours "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETxCzI9jMb
' I wish I could tell the truth but where did he get that truth-telling ability ? From the angel he was involved with ? ' " Hey Cain where are you supposed to go ? Karma told you to go somewhere , is there something he wants you to investigate in hell ? "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hXtZBHwXM
' There is but I shouldn't tell her about this ' " I do want to exercise how about we go fight some natural demons you got that scythe and sevenfold payback don't cha ? " " Sure I don't know where I should investigate maybe we can at least get stronger "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3u34btkyX
Lilith smiled as they both arrived at the edge of a giant wasteland to see natural demons very active as they were eating each other up or fighting " Can't you use this teleporting to get us closer " " But that would be no fun and dangerous take a look at them "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSYhNQb6TH
The demons stalked the two as they walked through the edge and Cain summoned the scythe as he watched the demons " Be careful I watched enough human movies to guess what these pests are thinking " Lilith said as she summons a ball of darkness .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODMYl0v1lY
" Maybe I can investigate about natural demons " ' Is that what Karma made him investigate ? It's not a bad idea though he might want to control them with the ring ' " Then let's get to the bottom of their lair , shall we ? "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTceYTtn7HV
They both fight as the ball of darkness scattered into lines " Lilith do you know anything about this demons ? " " Yeah they are annoying pests with no souls they are like Artificial intelligence without the ability to think for themselves "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BnLfwG5jm
" So they are not like humans who can think for themselves ? " " Exactly by the way aim for the legs will you ? " " Then jump ... NOW !!! " Cain broke the head of the scythe to create a low swing " Are you crazy ? " " I can fix it "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwwdprlKxq
Lilith steps on the ground and pierces the heads of the demons and takes away the sins that compose them " Say Lilith how come you left those bodies is their some special meaning ? " Cain looks at the vial of sin that Lilith contained .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg9s4IcI6m
" They are the vessels of the sins you know pretty worthless to us demons so we usually leave them here until more sins fill the vessel up and they would then end up active again " Cain has a strange feeling about this .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaN92uOl1y
" So you don't mind if I take it away ? " " It's something you have to do anyway if we do not take these vessels away the natural demon's number will keep increasing " " Then what is the source of these vessels ? "

" A giant piece buried deep in hell Lucifer doesn't know what it is and god doesn't tell him what it is even a similar giant piece is in heaven " ' Piece she keeps mentioning piece '

" Are there more ? " " Not at all as far as I know there is only one huge piece that can be found I know what it looked like when Lucifer took me there but not the one in heaven I only assume they are the same "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHv40sRqWX
Cain looks at the demons running at them " Can you take me to that place then ? " " Are you crazy ? " " No worries I'll be fine I can't die if I own the scythe that is supposed to kill me " Cain charges at the demon horde as Lilith sighs and follows him .

Karma was with the demons who managed the akasha surprised how he was able to handle the vast knowledge he forced them to input in his head " S-sir are you sure you should keep this up ? " nobody wants to accidentally kill a billionaire .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnOaVMx2v8
" Yeah , my head is pretty stable rather I'm quite glad I invested in this I would have trouble learning all that merit enchantment " A demon were having trouble flipping the pages engraved with merit that were burning their fingers while Isir was watching how they gave knowledge .

' This is very nice , I can recall all the knowledge ingrained in me but no symptoms maybe they don't study knowledge as food enough ' " Say have you considered knowledge as food to digest instead ? "

Risana the head researcher listened " Uhm what do you mean by that boss ? " " Nothing it's just in my mind I don't know a lot about learning theories my major isn't in that " Risana was left to think about what Karma had said .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtkZv9LqLZ
' Now that I think of it , how does the Count get so much data without getting a headache ? Did the research improve no even if the statistical data doesn't match , should I look for another human to test it ? '

" By the way do you guys want other test subjects ? " " Can we ? " " Sure just ask Arachne to find one it might just all be humans though but we can guarantee the confidentiality of the project " Isir listened wondering who to send .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcIW3lQdYv
' Maybe James first , he was interested in learning about the history of medicine ' Isir inputs a response to Arachne " Understood compiling files for human subjects that are guaranteed to follow the contract of confidentiality "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvt2deq37j
Risana was amazed at the opportunity given to her " We will do our best to improve it " " Yeah the one flaw about this is that I can't enjoy the joy of learning but that is what the project is about " " Thank you for investing in us "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCglrRepwW
Karma smiled " Then do your best " ' Now I'll go practice this new knowledge it's a good thing I was able to learn about imbuing merit and sins in objects shall I give it a try at home ? ' "Boss the weapons you wanted are being delivered to your house I already covered it up"
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ5pKCHwj5
"Thanks Isir" Karma took his car and drove off away ' Now there is still some time until then so let's do some simple practice ' He held the books that were returned after they inputted the data to the converter .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoyVRQvmXh
Karma practices using the merit ' I know of its nature but knowledge is different from experience ' he wonders if he should push the development to let experience go through someone .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97kCl6sCAG
" But then again there's no use in doing that if everyone has the same experience you may as well call it a flawed school system " Karma laughed ' But then again nobody would be able to have the same effects as mine if they aren't a Count , But it's fine to cheat like this '
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETI2FvZChC

" We are here so what do you think doesn't it look terrifying to look at ? " Lilith said as Cain couldn't believe his eyes , A dark mass surrounded by the land of hell .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuko9Szg7h7
" It looks like a swamp " " It is , isn't it ? This swamp is sins and whatever comes out of it is where you can find the giant piece or at least a part that is exposed "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfNLJP1jc
Lilith held a piece of paper " When did you get that ? " " While you weren't looking there are several rankings for demons in hell , by the way , I am quite high among all the ranking " Cain couldn't help but recall the high altitude joke Karma said .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWLw3UBaKx
" I just have to bring proof that I cleared the swamp which means all of this I have to carry back " Cain was confused as Lilith looked at him " What you think this is something unnecessary ? " " Yeah isn't sins something nobody likes ? "

" That is true but the demons don't like it more when these natural demons infest the land so we have to take this liquid back I won't ask you to help after all I'll be turning it into a lot of solid brick "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ234baeMRye
Lilith opens her palm as all the black from the lake is taken away and turned into bricks as they fall into a bag " Alright I got enough I can sell these for some merit do you want some hell cuisine ? " " Depends on what they taste like " " Come on I studied here and learned how to cook you know ? It's tasty I tell you "

" Do demons use those to make ink ? " " Yeah it is the only way to keep the demon's work trapped in this world this way angels won't come complaining when they hear that some of the works got leaked to the mortal world which they couldn't find because their radar can only detect sins , but you know his collection of books seems to disagree with the sin ink policy "

' I should share what I learned with Karma ' he said " I'll drop you off at the house " Cain was pushed into the house as he looked at his hand ' Still here ' he clenched it " Godfather has been quiet for a long time did he do something about it or was it his hacker ? "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEhXH0Of50
The door opened as Cain summoned his scythe " Oh you're back I thought you would be gone for a while " he sighed as Karma took a seat " So what did you learn about ? " " Lilith took me to the site where natural demons are born " Karma faced him as he blinked .
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxaBn53cdN
" Really ? " " Yes , apparently Lucifer took her to the place once and she took me there after getting some commission for it , She was able to get the sins out of the lake that is above a huge piece maybe the guardian's lost part from the looks of it ... It's weird that your founder's friend somehow got a chunk of them removed that it had to be phrased as "A giant piece buried deep in hell" "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdUL0dJmLV
Karma looks at Cain " And you figured it should be that ? " " You told me to investigate it in the hell did you not ? And Lilith said it was a giant piece buried in hell and Lucifer doesn't know I figured we could assume this is one of the lost pieces "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxYKw61iFn
" But the part that I don't understand is that there are natural demons sprouting out of this giant piece " " Yes according to Lilith as soon as you take the sins out it becomes an empty vessel waiting for more sins to possess it "

Lilith finished counting the income she got smiling at how much she was earning ' Now what should I buy ?

Lilith smiles wondering how much loss Lucifer is going to receive after she leads the Count himself to go and make a business ' It'll be like creating a new ruler of hell ' Her smile is innocent looking but her thoughts would make other's rethink the smile she is having .

Cain looked at his phone with great shock as he looked at Karma " Cain is this the only area where a part of the lost piece is exposed ? " " No it might be more in other areas " " And how many are concentrated with sins ? "

" I don't know " " Well it's not a big problem when we look at the fact that you guys came back safely but who knows what kind of problem if I , a Count with a bloodline with someone who had already encountered and had prolonged exposure with the guardian of the lineage goes there "
