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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zeuvM9KrN
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSlTXsjDEc
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKz1FfgJx
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDZlzFuLiv
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI4JQVMvKR
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVacXayMg3
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XTZdcyTzd
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4OD2BUIV
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WiXXrQPbo
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi29PbmRJny
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTT2Uu2ew
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtINfGS2Wnf
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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkva8rfhM8g
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5agmRPgGUj
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ouc0niqb8
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeqZkDUMI7
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpSbbkxN6
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BROO36w0Z
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jlMIXFPV
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡActsEohaIx
" 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 . "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnXrPxz7it
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWeGxfncM
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPuPK3HAre
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbS33IqEH9
...
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUswT2RBn4q
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibWkS8OgcY
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWM9KVvWtD
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfYFAhwSid
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdhe0vbxWL
' 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVAZeLRYj
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn35MP274m
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJhfqM2oSJ
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzpSdwRnnj
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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34AKMpV8mq
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2KGaHosVb
' 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJuUn303Sj
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NIMDlJXih
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFpqNkcU1j
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf915K7C9e
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43dJ6Y5KJB
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAidqGWjz0
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1xiid6VlT
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRXtzslJmj
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXgGOZdUdo
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 !? '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXN0LQmXx
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEcTf8PsMp
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sGetRKe7N
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOff72NSrq
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguVwTpqmPP
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVJEwI1dXe
' 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M2gOuW8Iv
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4SbdNmtWz
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKHU2OlkFN
' And I still don't know why some of the works Karma has lost all of their merit and sins '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGx3NN6nG8
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxqxe5vqZy
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NDWzytzSi
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaTNBd7Cu3
' 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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydfWBrSa6z
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWT0kNGVUb
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw88tMzYAu
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3hbtwBZFF
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdg1DRtYVQ
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kq99ZXRaK
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEKMD3K0i4
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 '
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOnUs3ctS6
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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOOCFIEaUS
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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMzg6aDgux
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOzqXuGf56
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9wWwCi1k9
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszwmvP2cz8
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUtYUgQ3DD
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozCuLE7uLL
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF6oWEHcyb
' 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMBYucl7wK
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VxLqGbfEN
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVsz5dhb9a
" 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYoyqGfRD6
' 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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9XvLRWamC
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoE0ISPpKl
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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbiLPANxvE
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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjqW9FEE7U
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP64OKHhSK
Karma smirked at the compliment " Cain will come home later also did your children have to be that desperate for a younger sibling ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4jtV83lD
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBjY5TuY3S
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4NBWS0pfP
" not exactly I can always make the embryo have a Count's blood in them " Lilith recalls the sci-fi projects Karma is investing .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3CnCMwMaL
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdw1Upc1Rr
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUa7Ga1mnB
" 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 "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoi6CSsZHi
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1BHUqdpPa
" 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 ? "
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqF2IrQNub
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 .
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsAoIvoN2Q
"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"
