Cain looks at the angel tool in the form of a hoe that had to be phrased differently or other's might have different ideas " I have a similar tool with me I want you to try the same as I do because what you do is restrict the potential harvest rather than kill plants "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMhN6hxAm
" That's true but how would that help ? " " If you studied enough about plants you would know that you need nutrients and if your power is meant to stop any plants from growing not killing them then it makes everything much easier if we go against Rochester who monopolizes the nutrients for himself "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1chXIuJZFU
Cain tries to imagine cutting off Rochester's supply of vitality " Come on your curse is meant to make it so you can't farm for anything that means no matter how hard you work as long as you are the one farming we can prevent any vitality from circulating "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu9rGbpDBX
" One what grounds do you base your theory on ? " Cain was curious what kind of theory had Karma play dress up wearing some farmer clothes .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mjc4BEIBq
" Obviously ... circulation or is it cycle , but just like how money has to circulate to have any worth so does nutrients , energy , air , water so that it may keep its value a great circulation of any of these can make many areas rich in something depending on what kind is circulating if it's the air you get a cool breeze all the time "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQEhthhf9
Karma points to Cain " And you prevent such restriction while Rochester benefits on the circulation of nutrients , so all you have to do is " Karma made a face that seems to hold back laughter as Cain wonders " No I will not do that "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjFIpt02H4
" You can but we would need some other part of your body " Karma held back his laughter thinking about what he could make Cain do to make him more useful " You could do that indeed pfft "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvNxXtkbnj
Truth watching from the inside of the house through the big glass was confused " Yes You could take a dump and throw that around after all your sht would count as your hard work in farming " Karma started laughing as Cain imagined himself throwing that during their fight in restraining Rochester .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf6jj03vRX
Truth understood why Karma was laughing ' Is that alright though ? ' Truth could tell how much shame this must be for Cain when they reported that he threw rainbows ( This is phrased like this for censorship to your imagination ) during Rochester's arrest .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlWHu0o0bO
" I'll extract my blood " Karma turns to him still laughing " I'll do it even if I feel lethargic " " You don't have to use your stool though " Lilith said " Oh your back what did you do with the body ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEeHVS09e4
" I got you some more books and here , take this " Lilith tosses a scroll of paper to Karma " Insert a little bit of your soul into that you can use merit as a medium if you don't want to use your sins but you'll have to use it to get my rank " " How about we do that later when you get the books ready "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevMflN1jlI
Lilith sighed and retrieves papers from a spatial storage " I had to prepare documents to have this allowed in the mortal realm " She shows them to Karma " Like a visa " ' No wonder Lucifer kept a few eyes watching him I was only able to balance his help by offering Nephalem's teachings '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV9QIr66rZ
Karma gives back the documents " I would like to have that spatial storage of yours " " It was a more recent property so you can't have it but there are books that you can learn from " Karma smiles " Then shall we visit Akasha then ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zD492k3Og
They take the car as they talked what Lilith did with the body " Research ? " " Lucifer wanted to know more about the giant piece so when I bought him a pure form of it he wanted to research it "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXAIlMIAvr
" Must be some important research it was if he quickly got it to raise the rank and access you gave me " Karma said as he ate some snacks " I'm sure this would go quicker if the demons don't get burned from the merit " " If I did that I probably would feel a little sting " Lilith said .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI9F24veVz
Karma recalled planning to have Lilith flip the pages but had no time since she was busy " I don't understand how demons and angels have varying powers like why fire exactly and why is it so hard to understand what specific powers they have blessing and curses are too broad "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uXHsDXmmG
" It's mostly controlling god's creation to an extent " Lilith said " I want to believe that god didn't create this world from all the scientific progress but then some guy online claimed that god could create something with age like how Adam was created as an adult human rather than a baby "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxEnBINf3
" I see so in the end demon's and angel's powers are just greater control and knowledge of certain subjects " " That's true though contracting a demon does grant one power and knowledge "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQx6hXRMoi
Karma wonders if the infernals have similar laws as demons considering their constant exposure to sins " Hey do you know how to contract demons ? " " I only thought you wouldn't do it but were you planning to ? Then again I did bought a lot of books "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ALRx0vUA
Karma smiles " You do have to bring me the Nephalem's teachings , don't you ? " " Don't worry my children will welcome you even if they haven't had much contact with others I still keep in touch with them "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nRkH2Qjzj
" What a nice mother Cain would say " " I wouldn't say that " Cain said " You would when you learn how similar you are with them the Nephalems are hated by both demons and angels alike only I would go to them and take care of them they were called possessors of both grace and miasma some old terms of merit and sins still used today in some occasional theater or attempts to reenact the old times . "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJvMU6CAFL
" So where would the Nephalem go then ? " Lilith taps with her finger " In a special space obviously , one with both grace and miasma in the air unless you wear some special equipment that makes it so that you don't breath them in "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRQtD5X3m
" Is a hazmat suit okay ? " Lilith thinks about it " Not sure but it is going to be your best choice if you don't want to breathe the air in " " Or I could use some shield " " No usually you would be seen "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrCf7rs9wr
Karma wonders if he can take advantage of his bloodline's ability of a black hole to create some form of barrier ' No I haven't tried this kind of thing at all in my entire life it wasn't needed to go beyond controlling it and there wasn't much use anyways '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa4AyDirny
...
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3HbZ9Cee4
" Sir Karma , this will only take three hours for us to input this data into you are you sure this is okay ? " Cain turns to Karma wondering if he lied " I thought you were asleep for four hours ? " " He was asleep for four hours but 2 hours was the time he took to consume the knowledge "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx4ywf6Lr2
Risana said as Lilith returned to her playful mood at Cain's cluelessness again " Now you are also going in , I have some material that can help you use the death scythe and your curse better you should try it "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGBiSAXZc
Cain immediately took it not wanting to do what Karma wished for him to do should he be only capable of what Karma wished of him he took his bed and went to sleep while Lilith watched from outside .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfDnhgI9c2
" Risana did you do this project because you heard about the Akashic records " Risana felt exposed to the seemingly all-knowing nature a mother would have on their children or family " Yes I thought it would be a good name project to attract potential investers "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZXkmQomXw
' But that failed ' Lilith thought recalling the time when they made headlines after using one test subject who was desperate to pass the exams " Can you tell me more about the akashic records "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAAIUXQ0L
" It was more fictional than reality like how famous authors based their stories on their lives , the akashic records are meant to record everything in the universe "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2WKXFCfJ
Risana conjures an image with black sins like an old cartoon using a spare sheet of paper to draw as well as animate them " I was fascinated with it all the knowledge in the world combined including the future "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9OWFMYVb
The ink drew a library very organized as well as very long with a line to represent each book's timeline of events " If anyone could access that wouldn't everyone be equally as knowledgeable after all the library records everything "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DIif00SE9
Risana nodded agreeing to Lilith's words as the Akashic records would have high-quality information rather than low and repeating ones " But the fictional records were apparently destroyed " " Oh how ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiVTqDRfz
" It was more like the part about recording future events that were destroyed . Anything past and present is still safe but at the end of that story the Akashic records were just a side quest where you could have gained knowledge "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQXeRPKzm
' What an interesting story maybe I should give it a read ' " But if there were a real one how can someone access it then ? " Risana thinks recalling the origin of the terms akashic records " I think there was some kind of ritual but over time this gets changed through mass media "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ9pmIicSb
Risana scratched her head unable to understand " But if our god can know what will happen and what has happened doesn't that make him more likely to have access to it " Lilith said causing Risana to shiver at the thought of accessing the records and seeing god himself beside her .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXB9velf5L
" Wouldn't that make the records hard to read if I know god was there ? " The ink pushed away to represent the light god has as Lilith continues to stare at the picture " So the real akashic records is it broken or intact "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUptHOOVvp
" I don't know the one where it broke came from some story I just took that as inspiration because the story makes the Akashic records look less majestic and made me bolder in using it as a name for the project "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1flfCzlk8
Lilith looks at Karma and then Risana " Can you make copies of his knowledge then ? " " Who ? " " Karma " " Why ? " " I'm curious if you can " Risana thought about the possibility .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2teUOIquB6
" Uhm It's gonna be hard if the supercomputer is in use but since the boss said he wanted to sleep maybe I can get his memories but I don't think I want to delve too deep "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa19CsaViz
Risana secretly made sure Lilith wouldn't try to delve into Karma's secrets in case she gave away the password ' She's smart but I am really curious . Karma doesn't just say anything important or personal to me and I still don't know what he has in mind '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG9QkavTyq
She wonders if there is a way to know and looks at Karma ' Hmm ' The demons working on it put away the books Lilith bought as Karma is left to sleep for as long as he wanted to .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HP6TaBYBD
There was no way to get in because of the high-security room that Karma was put in and Cain was just left there because hitting him doesn't end well for anyone " Hey Karma you should at least tell this pretty lady about your secret if you are living with me "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4AdkE8pDo
Karma couldn't hear her but the demons did as Risana was terrified of a conclusion Karma was Lilith's new husband ' Wait but doesn't that really look weird , Cain is clueless and Mother Lilith just said they live together is Cain some adopted child !? '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxS8FeVrs5
Risana's data analysis struck her terribly as she painted the image of Karma being the father of his position of a Count a bloodline with many historic influences that made him the clear breadwinner of any family he goes into , Lilith whom all demons viewed as a kind mother taking care of her children and Cain's cluelessness that matches a child .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWfxMekFG5
At this point , Cain may as well be known as clueless likely to anyone in frist impression " Mother Lilith ... " Lilith turned to Risana " Are we going to have a younger sibling " Lilith was confused " What do you mean ? " " Did you already take his virginity "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMWrgg0shb
Lilith doesn't know what to feel about her child saying such a thing " No what do you think I am ? " " Someone who gives us several siblings ? " Lilith recalled that even though the demons have reproductive organs they were essentially related to each other .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrTquOJdoc
" But you could have kids with your siblings right ? " " That's incest " Lilith was surprised at what Risana said " A demon who is supposed to be born of sin is afraid of incest ? " " No please don't say it again "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdeyt0f8sT
Lilith decided not to dig any further into her demon children and looked at Risana ' I feel you are hiding something ' she didn't delve further as all the demons sighed internally hiding the secret they all agreed on .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTkAbEdnFj
' Is this some plan Lucifer made with the demons ? ' Lilith watched Kara consuming the information but didn't notice any sins entering via computer , the knowledge that was flowing was pure data rather than data imbued with merit as Lilith recalls how some knowledge could be imbued with sins or merit depending on what they do .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPpKzefuLH
For example , the research paper for the cure for the bubonic plague would likely have great merit because whoever read it was influenced and told on what to do to help .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg8HozNySP
The same can be said of the radioactive notes , it is a clear original because it was a study on radioactivity making it more susceptible for sins to be imbued but that's not the only thing that can make you sick .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXE3unjCHo
' And I still don't know why some of the works Karma has lost all of their merit and sins '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhn3JJkmV
Lilith feels like she needs to ask unless there is some strange ability that the Count lineage has other than dodging disaster and gaining fortunes that she needs to be careful of which Cain would likely connect towards the guardian that she hasn't known about due to the tight security around copy Cain read .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONgFkGozrn
Lilith tries to recall anything strange about it but the only remarkable feat was what she already knows especially Reed's rags to riches stories where he hunted some animals and sold their high-quality corpses as a start .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBKuYaaxd8
She recalls Reed's curiosity about magical artifacts that allow him to possess several artifacts , including Solomon's ring and even the original bible that god wrote . Which indirectly caused some to hide some artifacts erasing the records to continue their clans .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7uxkGdVPL
' Although it did help women gain their current position after everyone stopped accusing them of being witches , Maybe that's why Karma has plenty of Merit , after all a child can gain some of the parents' merits ... and sins '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ARd4vdz1
Lilith shook the guilty feeling away as she continued thinking ' He somehow solved that problem that even Lucifer was having problems thinking about it might be best for me to ask what he knows about that monster that came out of that giant piece '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn22UXDXct5
Lilith looks at Cain who she recalls had some work Karma made him do " Cain must know about something if he had to investigate what was in hell but does it have to do with the giant sack of meat ? Is that even meat ? But it did make some inedible food when you try to cook it "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq8pe6hbdW
" You tried to cook it ? " Karma asked as Lilith's heart stopped for a moment " YOU'RE AWAKE ? " " Forget that why did you try to cook it ? " after calming a little she answered .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtKfZf1E8Z
" They were wondering if it was some kind of animal but the smoke was ridiculously dense and had so many weird smells " " Oh I know what that is but " Karma rubs his fingers together .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWIkbxYZQ
" You already got everything from me " " Tsk " ' So he does know something ' " I'm gonna have to worry about Rochester that guy wanted to do something about hiring me as workforce manager I don't think it was some simple workforce maybe it has something to do with his lifespan business "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wi9vnbucn
Karma connects the dots for himself wondering why he would be given the position of a workforce manager ' I can't exactly use a normal company structure if we are dealing with lifespan workforce managers are usually tasked to divide the resources but the resource here is really more on supplying lifespan '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFGPw8kfkc
Lilith watched Karma stand wondering what he was thinking ' That could make sense it's a very simple structure if he wants to maximize the supply of life force so he would require connections and by that alone , it must require a lot , this lifespan isn't related to time at all I can't use it to predict how long a person can live but using nutrients seems to make things complicated '
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qgw8uX7Oy
Using the lessons about the food chain made plenty of sense to him to make a conclusion " AHHH that's right he could use a garden but why workforce does he think I like gardening ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRmooeQHSo
Karma was then struck that he is " I do like gardening more so with exotic ones " Lilith finds the chance to get information and says " Then you might be interested in gardening the parts of the giant piece then ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9HvKhtlsz
Karma turns to Lilith already knowing what it may be because of the memories he has " what is it ? " " If you tell me what you know about that giant piece I will tell you " " Is it a garden where you make paper in the old traditional way and the ink somehow fills up the gaps and makes up words ? " Lilith was surprised .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl4e5RAKdJ
" How did you guess that ? " Karma smiles " Obviously you already know I have some connection with the giant piece under hell and now that I confirmed it , it seems that knowledge you are getting is what makes you all so knowledgeable " Karma goes to Lilith and whispers to her " Is that why angels and demons are so knowledgeable ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58cDQ0NUCI
Lilith grits her teeth " How do you know more about the giant piece than hell ? " Karma smirked irritating Lilith " It's the Count's secret " ' Count secret ? ' Lilith was confused about what Karma meant " But I'll let you in a little of it ... The piece that you and Lucifer saw is part of a really big creature and I know a lot about it "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7erFUgn5a
Lilith's eyes widened as she watched Karma go through a portal to hell " Dang ... Should I tell Lucifer about this ? No revelation is still some time from now if he were to do something who knows what the man upstairs would do . " She turned to Cain and wondered if he knew more about the monster .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AGY7nj33N
Karma appears where he last was " I'm not too kin to have an infected body part absorbed into me ... But the contracts " Karma smiled recalling the knowledge he gained from akasha ' I'll have a big dunch later just for testing ' an infernal pops out behind Karma as he turned his hand casting a forced contract .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2FAGWiLza
" As expected " Karma tries to learn the infernal's true name but what shows is some garbled words that keep changing . He looks at the infernal as he takes away the sins " Hmm it's a bit different is it because you are not like the demons above ? " He crouched lower and taps on the infernal .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FA1k0dnM4
' This is quite hard I can't exactly get this infernal's contract if I don't know even a part of their name , demon contracts usually involve calling out their names like calling to a crowd to find a friend named Fred ' Karma looks at the infernal thinking " You don't really have a name at all but I don't actually need one right ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbWgAMeCo
The scales of judgment appear with the plate for merit growing as Karma starts to perceive himself as a terrible person " You know I have ruined people's lives too even if they were doing something illegal they were supporting their families right ? " A dark aura starts to appear over the opposite plate as Karma recalls more and more of his demerits .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UxUyCAKMW
Taking advantage of someone's bad situation and using them like tools Isir , Cain and Lilith as an example . Soon a glowing sword appears above him " Just like the story where he who is without sins shall throw the first stone I can't be hit by anyone unless they are sinless " he smiled finding the loophole that the scales have .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblgc1v58tO
" Now then let's make a proper contract " Karma's sins went into the infernal the same way he observed the sins going into a "dead" infernal to revive it as he flooded it with his sins as the infernal woke up looking at Karma confirming the contract .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHmfvmWS1p
' Maybe the affinity also extends to sins ? ' he thought as he recalled how to use sins based on what he had absorbed ' It's quite useful now that I can go to hell , knowledge of the mortal realm isn't so entertaining if you stayed for long enough ' he was glad nevertheless to get a contract demon who he doesn't have to call the name .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSY1D6e5nC
" for now let's hide this guy and make them come out when I want to " the infernal dives into Karma as he finishes the other things he planned to do and returns back as the scales tip back with the sword returning to the scales as a pillar . Karma takes a seat in his car happy with the result " Did you contract a demon ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUkbMlSJqy
Karma smiled " A natural demon in fact " Lilith was confused as she sat inside " Are you going to leave Cain here ? " " Of course , I have a job for him later "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3qNLBYO1
Lilith plays with the scales of famine and asks " Is this about that Rochester guy ? " Karma nods " I want you to give the scales to Cain " " Are you going to make him use it ? " " Yeah of course you did give him knowledge on how to use his curse did you not ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPF35lkzZ
" I grabbed most of them in a hurry thinking which may be the most useful for you " " why the hard work " " You said you'll pay me properly I have been in the underworld long enough together with William to know the extent you make people pay their debts " Lilith said " It might even make Lucifer cry if he ever gets into one "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE1txrMaGr
Karma smirked at the compliment " Cain will come home later also did your children have to be that desperate for a younger sibling ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8OcQm2cV
" Oh shut up Lucifer and Asmodeus are no longer interesting to me it feels so boring when you do the same thing every time you know " " so did you have to go chase Adam then ? " " It was a one-night stand I'm quite sick of sleeping with someone else already "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNd56FnC7v
" Yet here you are with me doing something I shouldn't be doing " " I can't believe you , why are you still a virgin don't you think that the bloodline ending with you is a terrible thing "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a0SRqiFPl
" not exactly I can always make the embryo have a Count's blood in them " Lilith recalls the sci-fi projects Karma is investing .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6h30TZLOk
" Rich people really like making their luxurious life much longer " " why else do you think I eat healthy and invest in that kind of project ? " Lilith looked outside unable to relate a child imagining someone doing parkour as she watched the beautiful scenery " I can't tell what you are always thinking it's like you are hiding something "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQ0zjf43h
" Everyone's got secrets to hide whether it be a dark moment in the past or a search history " " Wasn't there a memory bank that gathers deleted information ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ0mO38YYx
" Yeah from deleted images from the internet up to the websites that got offed it's the biggest memory bank ever made of course I'm the one who owns it "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv2lfUC1il
" Honestly there were rumors that you were the antichrist " " Isn't it good then ? For everyone to have one united currency ? " " And to be under one leader ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S7PSGN5uH
" That wouldn't matter if the leader is so good at their job that they make others want them to stay there but I would not like to be killed during the revelation you mind telling me when that is ? "
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqbVNpaN8
Lilith smirked and said " Only if you tell me what your connection with that giant piece is ? " Karma sighed hearing that Lilith dodged the question instead of confirming whether she knew or not as he could hear Truth sulk .
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSFsPUhhZC
"It's okay Truth there is not a lot we can do if they don't talk but how are you growing anyways ?" "Plenty after you went to sleep I gathered more acknowledgment"
