Background / History

Dies Martin was formerly a Death Bringer who inherited an older death-based power. He eventually betrayed Belial, seized the authority of lies and Deceit, and became an Abyssal Demon King. The Soul Contracts binding him and the other Death Bringers were left sealed behind Shadow Power, making their recovery both a source of freedom and a potential danger. 479 638

After his ascension, he inherited Belial’s former demon forces and confronted Andariel, the King of Torture. When Death Bringer called for aid during the Far North Icefield conflict, Dies Martin could not intervene directly, but enhanced Qin Chuan’s Apostle’s Seal with a one-time ten-minute God’s Chosen State. 310

He repeatedly crossed paths with Qin Chuan, whom he nicknamed “kid,” while Qin Chuan persistently called him “Old Ma.” Their relationship developed into a wary but effective partnership: Dies Martin supplied information, deception, and Abyssal influence, while Qin Chuan provided opportunities, leverage, and increasingly overwhelming force. 407 462 479

Appearance

Dies Martin’s appearances vary between a true body, shadowy incarnations, and projections. His physical form has been described as tall and burly with dark-purple pupils; he later favors an immaculate formal suit and carries a glass of red wine even during negotiations. 775 1500

• Dark-purple eyes and Abyssal energy.
• Often manifests from shadows or dark-purple mist.
• Uses unstable Divine Power Incarnations when acting at a distance. 1098
• His true form can display savage claws and numerous emerald-lit eyes when using divine abilities. 477 776

Personality

Dies Martin is theatrical, mocking, and openly transactional. He routinely bargains for payment before sharing information, inflates the price of favors, and treats deception as both a divine duty and an entertaining game. He is willing to admit his own dishonesty when doing so offers a tactical advantage. 461 463 906

Despite his selfishness, he is not merely reckless. He recognizes when a direct fight is unfavorable, prefers layered traps over brute-force confrontations, and can show genuine concern for allies whose survival affects his own interests. His prolonged cooperation with Qin Chuan gradually exposes a real ambition: replacing the Abyss’s endless internal predation with a structured Pantheon under his control. 515 867 1411

Abilities & Skills

Authority of Lies and Deceit

Dies Martin’s central authority manipulates perception, information, space, and apparent reality.

• Creates illusions convincing enough to make enemies misidentify threats and waste attacks on false targets. 536 906
• Disrupts perception across a battlefield, allowing Qin Chuan to strike God Children while they cannot accurately locate him. 487
• Prepared the Web of Fraud, which distorted Altros’s sense of direction, energy flow, and spatial distance. 867
• Can fabricate false images of powerful gods to force enemies into defensive mistakes. 867
• His deception is less effective against overwhelming Holy Light and the direct dispelling properties of the Light Law. 876 877

Divine Kingdom and Demon God Combat

Dies Martin can fight as a high-level Abyssal deity, combining deception with destructive demonic power.

• Wields Hellfire, sulfur, magma, and demonic energy in direct combat. 776
• Summons the Soul Hunter Net to contend with soul-based laws and attacks. 776
• Possesses a Divine Kingdom filled with demon forces, sulfurous smoke, and lava; it can clash directly with another Divine Kingdom. 776
• Opened Dark Gates to deploy demons into the Eternal Palace. 391
• Is vulnerable when forced into prolonged frontal combat against multiple high-level opponents. 905 1564

Contracts, Empowerment, and Sin Karma

Dies Martin recruits useful mortals and Abyssal creatures by offering them power with concealed conditions.

• Granted Bruno Apostle-tier power through a mystical contract, making him his spokesperson. 476 477
• Retained Bruno’s injured investigators in the Void as potential leverage rather than allowing them to die. 477
• Developed and distributed Sin Karma, a power that can rapidly mutate weak demons into beings approaching the Holy Domain. 1427
• Used Sin Karma, promises of evolution, and manufactured scarcity to recruit Abyss Lords for an invasion of the North American War Zone. 1428
• Attempted to implant his own rules into empowered Abyss Lords to make them loyal and controllable. 1425

Strategic Deception

Dies Martin’s greatest strength is engineering conflicts in which enemies undermine one another.

• Manipulated distrust between Undead and Abyssal factions to create an opening for the Night Lady’s attack on Electra. 865
• Coordinated with the Night Lady to trap Altros, acting as the distraction while she struck the Bone Abyss Lord’s blind spot. 867
• Proposed using Night Cherry Tangle’s Shadow Sword to mark an enemy barrier with an Abyss Brand, provoking mutual suspicion among gods rather than attempting an impossible kill. 860 861
• Accepted Qin Chuan’s Thousand Faces Gambit, a divine trial that rewards successful deception so other systems must identify and correct their weaknesses. 1252

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Blade of Betrayal — Used to exploit an opponent’s momentary distraction and strike at the Withering Bard. 906
• Soul Contracts of the Death Bringers — Sought their recovery because the contracts represented both restraints and a means for the Death Bringers to reclaim freedom after Shadow Power’s seal was lifted. 479
• Divinity Crystals — Offered Qin Chuan a large mass of crystals as a “storage fee” for holding the Soul Contracts. 494

Relationships

• Qin Chuan / Shadow — A distrustful ally and frequent bargaining partner. Dies Martin repeatedly cooperates with him, but each treats the other as a potential schemer. 462 479 1411
• Bruno — Recruited as Dies Martin’s spokesperson and granted Apostle-tier power through a contract. Dies Martin later possessed Bruno to communicate during the sea crisis. 477 860
• Death Bringer — Formerly connected through the Death Bringer system; Death Bringer summoned Dies Martin during the Far North Icefield conflict. 309 479
• Alesha / Night Lady — Co-conspirator in several god-level operations, including the ambush against Altros and the defense of Qin Chuan’s transformation. 867 876
• Night Cherry Tangle — Used his Fraud Authority to support Night Cherry Tangle’s near-suicidal infiltration mission against the sea gods. 860 861
• Altros, Lord of the Bone Abyss — Enemy and prior battlefield opponent. Dies Martin later prepared a targeted Web of Fraud to trap him. 776 867
• Lord of Torture and Lord of Lava — Abyssal allies who joined Dies Martin’s plan to drag the Abyss into the conflict between Blue Star and the Undead World. 777

Story Role / Major Arcs

Eternal Palace and Eternal Night Continent

Dies Martin first acted aggressively against the Eternal Palace by opening Dark Gates and sending demons into the Naga stronghold. He later abandoned the attempt after determining that the palace could not be taken. 391 407

On Eternal Night Continent, he sought a foothold by recruiting Bruno. Qin Chuan negotiated conditions preventing Dies Martin from using his power against Lola or Erna if they moved against Bruno, and preventing him from intervening should Bruno die. 462

Soul Contract Operation

Dies Martin asked Qin Chuan to retrieve the Death Bringers’ Soul Contracts through time and space. He disclosed that gathering every Death Bringer during a major war would provide the deathly aura and clues needed to activate the Moment of Utmost Darkness. 479

After the operation, Dies Martin gave Qin Chuan custody of the contracts while providing Divinity Crystals as payment. Qin Chuan chose not to enslave him with them, instead retaining the contracts as strategic leverage. 494

War Against the Undead World

When the Undead World fused with Blue Star, Dies Martin arrived to aid Qin Chuan against the Lord of the Bone Abyss. Their Divine Kingdoms fought to a stalemate while Qin Chuan eroded the enemy kingdom through continual harassment. 775 776

Dies Martin later trapped Altros in the Web of Fraud and used layered illusions to create the opening for the Night Lady’s decisive ambush. 867

Thousand Faces Gambit

Qin Chuan assigned Dies Martin the fifth Trial of the Gods, Thousand Faces Gambit. Its participants are rewarded for deceiving and exploiting other systems, forcing those systems to expose flaws, close loopholes, and continuously improve. 1252

Dies Martin initially rejected the idea of helping construct a civilization, but accepted immediately once Qin Chuan reframed deception as an institutionalized tool for testing order. 1252

Ambition to Rule the Abyss

Dies Martin admitted that he wanted to build a loyal Pantheon in the Abyss rather than remain surrounded by treacherous demons. He attempted to apply Qin Chuan’s civilization-building model by cultivating demons through Sin Karma and binding them to his rules. 1411 1425

Qin Chuan later offered him the role of Abyssal Spokesman, effectively giving him the chance to rule the Abyss. In return, Dies Martin had to lure old Abyssal Upper Gods into Qin Chuan’s traps and surrender seventy percent of the Abyss’s special resources as “rent.” 1501

Fall

By the time of the Abyssal passage operation, Dies Martin’s reputation within the Abyss had collapsed; its inhabitants regarded him as the Abyss’s foremost traitor and hunted him across multiple layers. 1564

During the final collapse of the Origin Realm, he was mortally wounded by a blindfolded swordsman. After declaring that the highest form of deception was placing one’s own life on the table, his Godhead was shredded and he dissolved into light. 1780
