There were indeed various strange religions on the surface, and there were also many sects that believe in certain weird, strange evil gods. Nemo wasn’t very interested in demons before. Due to the special objects that the Abyssal Church worship, Nemo had avoided books relating to them. Oliver had heard a little about them, but his understanding was shallow at most.

There were many religions that preached doomsdays and destruction, and the Abyssal Church was one of the most successful. Unlike other cults that accepted devotees to form small, concentrated circles, they generously open their arms and shelter all humans who were involved with demons.

This was equivalent to standing up and directly fighting against the other normal religions on the surface.

But they succeeded. It wasn’t because of how reasonable the teachings of the Abyssal Church were, or because they were truly blessed by the Demon King. Superior demons didn’t want their prepared flesh to be hunted down daily, so while they had little interest in human religion, they didn’t hesitate to support them occasionally.

The number of demon warlocks were small, but the quality was amazing. Not only that, the large number of demon worshippers also had lots of backbone, thus the Abyssal Church was able to gain a foothold in this way. In the past few hundred years, it had even achieved a level rival with the Laddism Church.

“…What is Bagelmaurus doing in that kind of place?” Seeing Nemo’s face blank, Oliver decidedly took over the conversation. “A superior demon wouldn’t seek the protection of the Abyssal Church.”

“This kind of information is indispensable in the Abyss,” Adrian explained. “Superior demons prefer the ‘butchers’, and powerful intermediate demons are very popular in the Abyssal Church. According to Mr. Light’s previous statement, Bagelmaurus’ body is a superior demon. Even if the power of its flesh on the surface is only intermediate, it will get very generous treatment in the Abyssal Church. If it’s lucky enough, they may even have the means to restore it.”

“Seems like it has a bit of brain left in it.” Jesse shrugged. “Except for the fact that it ran away, this decision is quite wise.”

“The main purpose is to find information. Nemo can take time to talk to the parrot.” Ann glanced at Nemo who didn’t seem to have a reaction yet. “Task. Choose a task first, so that next month’s quota could be settled.”
