Dimont

Biodata

Power Progression

Fiend rank, cultivation realm, and combat strength are separate measures; Dimont repeatedly fights far above his cultivation realm 17 21 24.

Appearance

• True form: A black, six-armed demonic ape with dark-gold eyes and heavily muscled arms; stands nearly five meters tall during his early appearances 3 7 11.
• Human form: A cold-looking, muscular man with black hair, nearly two meters tall, whose features resemble Rog’s. He wears a black robe upon entering the Infernal Realm 13 14.
• Adjustable stature: Enlarges his human form to three meters when meeting Hemus, refusing to concede an imposing presence 176.
• Highgod covering: Black material spreads across his body and fists, forming close-fitting armor when activated 171 176.

Personality

Dimont is battle-hungry, proud, and drawn to opponents who can withstand his fists. Fighting is also his principal route to understanding Destruction: once slaughtering weaker opponents stops helping him advance, he seeks god-level enemies instead. Despite his aggression, he initially postpones challenging the Lost Forest’s black dragon until he believes victory is certain 5 13 174.

He is diligent rather than content to rely on his Divine Beast inheritance. Before adulthood, he independently studies Destruction; later, he spends long periods absorbing metals and seeking combat while Rog cultivates in seclusion 7 33.

His competitiveness does not prevent him from acknowledging another fighter’s strengths. He admits Hemus’s superior raw power, accepts their inconclusive result, and develops genuine respect for him. As an examiner, he likewise praises successful candidates and recommends their acceptance without prying into Kolen’s hidden advantage 172 177.

Abilities & Skills

Suppress Heaven

Dimont’s original Innate Divine Ability immobilizes an opponent while leaving their consciousness active 8 11.

• Manifests a phantom of an ancient six-armed demonic ape more than fifty meters tall 11.
• Freezes Apide in midair, allowing Dimont to destroy his head with a coordinated attack 11.
• Consumes nearly one-third of Dimont’s soul power during that Lowgod-stage use 11.
• Becomes stronger when Dimont advances to Midgod 13.

Metal Absorption

Dimont absorbs metal essence to increase his body’s hardness, resilience, and strength 8 17.

• Harder and more resilient metals provide corresponding improvements to his body 8.
• Both his original body and Divine Clone can absorb metallic essence; Black Jade is an early strengthening resource 15.
• Two hundred years of absorption raise his bodily defense far beyond a Highgod Artifact and give him ordinary Highgod strength without using laws 17.
• Eventually produces physical offense and defense essentially comparable to Beirut’s before Beirut became a Sovereign 170.
• By the time he seeks Hemus, Dimont describes his body as forged entirely from metallic essence 174.

Black Armoring

A further innate ability emerges when Dimont’s body strengthens upon reaching Highgod 171.

• Covers his body and fists in black material, enhancing both material attack and defense 171.
• Also improves his speed: against Kede, activating it removes the opponent’s earlier speed advantage 175.
• Enables him to contend with Hemus, although Hemus remains stronger in absolute terms 176 177.

Edicts of Destruction and Fist Techniques

Dimont develops his Destruction comprehension through battle, eventually specializing in the strength-enhancing Path of Collapse and Destruction 13 33.

• His six arms support coordinated barrages and attacks from multiple angles, briefly overwhelming even Hemus’s ability to respond 11 177.
• By the third level, Collapse and Destruction is near its practical limit for further enhancing his raw strength 33.
• He also uses kicks and bodily rotation to supplement his punching power 177.

Divine Clone

On Rog’s advice, Dimont splits his soul when becoming a god, preserving an original body alongside his Divine Clone 8.

• Provides an additional life, at the cost of temporarily weakening his soul relative to other gods of the same realm 8.
• Both bodies retain his metal-absorption ability 15.

Limitations

• Early soul vulnerability: Before receiving the Soul-Suppressing Celestial Crystal, his soul defense remains at ordinary Midgod level even when his material attacks approach Seven-Star Fiend strength 22.
• Speed and domain: During his Midgod period, relatively slow movement and a weak God’s Domain prevent him from reliably forcing stronger opponents into close combat 24 33.
• Durability is not restraint: He survives Nuoti’s attacks but cannot stop Nuoti from knocking him aside and targeting Rog 30.
• Later speed improvement: His black covering and strengthened Highgod body alleviate this weakness; he matches Kede’s speed and is faster than Hemus 175 177.

Equipment / Items

• Soul-Suppressing Celestial Crystal: A 108-faced crystal given to Dimont after Rog finishes studying it. Rog presents it as a Soul Defense Divine Artifact, although it actually protects the soul by guiding its owner’s soul force. It completely blocks Nuoti’s Sovereign-powered soul swords 23 24 30.
• Soul-protecting Sovereign Artifact: By the later emissary-recruitment journey, a Sovereign Artifact bestowed by Rog protects Dimont’s soul 170.
• Black Jade and other metals: Absorbed as strengthening resources rather than carried as conventional equipment 15 17.
• Weapons: His early territorial threat involves a staff, but after becoming a god he relies chiefly on his fists and six arms 3 11.

History

Lost Forest and Enslavement

Dimont initially controls territory in the Lost Forest and warns Rog away rather than immediately attacking a fellow Saint he considers dangerous. After gaining Destruction insights, he defeats the Saint-level black dragon and becomes king of the northern forest. He subsequently occupies the dragon’s cave, accompanied by members of the Four-Armed Demon Ape clan 3 5 6 7.

Rog locates him by searching another ape’s memories, then ambushes him with God’s Domain and Soul Control Technique. Still a Saint, Dimont cannot resist the disparity in soul power and becomes Rog’s second soul slave. Rog leaves him cultivating in the cave, which contains a spatial weak point useful for cultivation 7.

Three years later, Dimont reaches adulthood and becomes a Destruction Lowgod. His ascension alarms neighboring human empires, whose experts fear a magical-beast king might launch a beast tide 7 8.

Rise on the Glais Continent

Apide and Panlongke’er attack Dimont, believing a treasure caused his ascension. Dimont kills Apide with Suppress Heaven, then finishes Panlongke’er after Rog strikes the fleeing attacker with Soul Ray 11.

Over the following century, Dimont’s battles spread his reputation across the continent. Worshippers erect statues, and the strength-revering orcs regard him as a god of war. Rog permits his combat-driven cultivation but forbids indiscriminate slaughter of humans who have not provoked him 12.

Dimont eventually kills the Silver-Clawed Snow Lion Emperor Aisi Keluofu and uses the resulting insight to become a Midgod. He later accompanies Rog to the Infernal Realm, while Wald remains on the Glais Continent 13.

Infernal Realm and Fiend Career

After arriving in Yuanqing Prefecture, Dimont and Rog join the Deen Tribe alongside Gray and Domir. Dimont later kills the hostile Highgod Wilson with one punch, displaying strength far beyond his Midgod realm 15 17.

At Blood Raven Castle, he gains inspiration from another Destruction practitioner and kills numerous guards during the Fiend assessment. Afterwards, he sells surplus assessment tokens at Rog’s request and attracts Rog’s notice for his interest in the elf Mina. The two become a couple 19 20 21.

Dimont and Rog rise to Five-Star Fiends through repeated combat missions. After Rog’s five-hundred-year study of the Soul-Suppressing Celestial Crystal, Dimont receives the treasure and undertakes the Six-Star examination at Kunsha Fort 21 23 24.

Their later employment by Nuoti Taylesi ends in betrayal. Empowered by Sovereign’s Might, Nuoti cannot seriously injure Dimont through either physical or soul attacks, but Dimont cannot prevent him from attacking Rog. A projection of the battle subsequently circulates throughout the Infernal Realm 27 29 30 33.

Commander and Emissary Examiner

During Rog’s fifty-thousand-year retreat, Dimont travels and fights throughout the Infernal Realm, attaining Asura-level material attacks. He later serves as a trusted commander at Rog’s prefectural residence, where he recognizes Gray and Domir and brings their appeal for help to Rog 33 52.

After becoming a Highgod, Dimont accompanies Rog in recruiting Sovereign’s Emissaries. He tests Chase and Kolen, recommending both for appointment, and later approves Kede after their battle on the Earth Divine Plane 170 172 175.

Seeking a satisfying opponent of his own, he challenges Hemus. Their prolonged duel ends without a victor: Dimont’s defense and six-armed assault offset Hemus’s greater strength. They part with mutual respect and plans to spar again, after which Dimont continues travelling with Rog 174 176 177.

Relationships

• Rog — Master, travelling companion, and public sworn-brother figure. Dimont remains soul-enslaved and addresses him as “master” privately; in public, they address one another as brothers. Even Mina does not know their true relationship 7 23.
• Mina — His green-haired elf wife. Their relationship begins after the Blood Raven Castle assessment. After three hundred years together, they still have no children, attributed to the reproductive difficulties of elves and rare Super Divine Beasts 20 21 23.
• Hemus — Rival and kindred battle enthusiast. Dimont becomes the first opponent to injure him with bare fists; their inconclusive duel leads to mutual admiration and an agreement to fight again 176 177.
• Gray and Domir — Former neighbors from the Deen Tribe. Dimont later vouches for their acquaintance and secures their audience with Prefect Rog 15 52.
• Wald — Rog’s first soul slave and Dimont’s early cultivation companion; remains behind when Dimont and Rog leave for the Infernal Realm 7 13.
• Chase, Kolen, and Kede — Prospective Sovereign’s Emissaries whose strength Dimont assesses in combat. He recommends all three for acceptance 172 175.
