For Jacques, they had completely lost.

But for Nems and his team, they had won completely, won to the point of exhaustion.

Thus, all those who opposed them have disappeared.

Jacques will not be killed for the time being, because Nemes still needs the research results from the old pastor that he possesses.

Yes, the old pastor did indeed fail.

Saints cannot be created solely through the study of blood, but Nemus does not seek saints.

All he wanted was the immense power the old priest gained from his research on the Holy Blood.

Why did the church not impose any substantial punishment on the old pastor from beginning to end?

One reason was that he voluntarily left Qiquan City and the power center on the back of this whale.

Another reason is that the failure of an experiment does not mean that there were no results at all.

The old pastors wanted too much perfection; they wanted to perfectly reproduce the saint's power. But for the church, it was enough to simply allow a portion of the people to obtain the power of the saint's descendants.

The Nemes and the church are similar.

The requirements for sainthood are too high; it represents a complete sublimation of the individual's soul.

The price-performance ratio is not particularly high.

Nemes thought the old pastor's final form as a man of light was quite good.

Hypnosis, illusion, or some other means are used to control a group of people and turn them into light people, making them a one-time suicide squad.

So basically, any individual living in this material plane would find this a headache.

Nemus was able to win because at that time he had the combined power of three identities, which not only caused his stats to skyrocket but also gave him the same level of divine attributes as the Prayer Angel.

In other words, it's about everything from numerical values ​​to characteristics, and then to the skills that Nemus himself has developed through practice.

With all three combined, Nemus dared to exchange a few blows with a true saint, let alone a pseudo-saint whose situation was not right.

"Isabella will probably be unconscious for a while before waking up. Once she makes contact with the church, the investigation will begin." Nemes gathered all his subordinates at his home to make arrangements for the next steps.

“Op, go and collect the remaining experimental data from the old pastor.”

"Copy if you can, take it with you if you can't."

"Then we'll take the others and hide in the wild for a while."

After Nemes finished speaking, Opp immediately nodded, indicating that he understood.

After this battle, he completely abandoned all his petty thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to serving Nemus.

after all……

The image of the winged, blind prayer angel appeared in Op's mind.

Although Nemes didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that it contained a huge secret.

The greater the secret, the greater Nemes's achievements may be.

Those who follow Nemes will also gain more benefits and achievements as a result.

As a businessman, Auper was well aware of the great risks involved, but in any matter, one must consider the potential returns in addition to the risks.

He decided to take the risk.

Meanwhile, Nemes was still making arrangements for the follow-up work of these people.

One of the more troublesome aspects is the presence of the village guardians and Lia.

Lyra's Whale form can no longer be suppressed; once it completes its transformation, it will ascend to the Steel type.

Ordinary people really can't take care of her.

Letting her run around on her own is extremely dangerous.

Furthermore, with the successful transformation of the whale, Lia's presence will also cause unrest among the floating whales.

Once such unrest occurs, the church will inevitably send people to search for them.

The church may lack saints, but it does not lack golden seeds.

The most sound and crucial means of increasing the number of species in this world is in the hands of the Church.

To be precise, it is in the hands of God.

Despite the unique disaster that forced everyone to live on the back of a whale, the culture did not break down and remained relatively intact.

At least that's how the power system works.

Furthermore, upon reaching the Golden Age, one's lifespan is greatly extended, which is why the Church even possesses some Golden Age beings from before the Whaleback Era.

Therefore, gold-colored jade is not as rare as one might imagine.

The disturbance caused by the floating whales is worth the effort of the Golden Seeds, who are willing to sacrifice millions of people for the whales.

Furthermore, among the schools of magic, there is one called the School of Prophecy.

Prophecy spells can be used for perception in combat, detection of traps and deception, and for information gathering over long distances and time periods.

Once a whale has developed whale-like disease and shows warning signs, it is virtually impossible to hide it.

Especially after being transformed into a whale, the patient still does not possess normal rationality.

A mindless yet berserker with the strength of an Iron Man is not easy to hide.

"After the transformation into a whale, it is basically a whale and will continue to grow. For unknown reasons, whale-transformation patients can only obtain temporary peace after eating human internal organs."

“This is a huge destabilizing factor,” Nemus thought. Logically speaking, the most correct choice would be to activate the contract's backup plan now, tear it up without damage, and then kill Lydia the moment she turned into a whale.

What Nemes needed to consider was how to avoid causing others to feel a sense of shared sorrow after this incident.

If Leah is going to die, then the village guardians will also have to die.

If the death is too direct, the cohesion that the team has just gained from the victory will dissipate in an instant.

But at that moment, Nemus seemed to sense something.

Standing up, Naims opened the basement door.

The village guard's expression changed drastically, and he quickly followed, ready to take action at any moment.

Despite the vast difference in strength, this was the last thing a father could do.

The moment the door opened, it wasn't the ugly, obese whale-man who appeared in the doorway.

Instead, she was a girl draped in simple linen. She wasn't pretty; her skin was pale from being deprived of sunlight for so long.

She seemed to see the village guardian, and after opening her mouth, she awkwardly called out, "Dad."

The village keeper stared blankly at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and tears welled up in his eyes.

In that instant, he couldn't care about anything else. Tears streaming down his face, he ran towards Leah and hugged his daughter tightly in his arms.

Leah was caught off guard by all of this, but she quickly broke free from her father's embrace, looked at Nemus with a questioning gaze, and then ran towards another room in Nemus's house.

Pushing open the room door, a white-haired person with closed eyes was sitting on the edge of the bed, the single wing behind him slowly shrinking and retracting into his body.

Upon seeing the other person, Leah quickly ran over and leaned against them.

"An Yin?!"

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've seen my true form, but what's going on here?"

“I woke up to find a little girl there. I’m not a priest, and I don’t like little boys, well, I don’t like little girls either.”

Chapter 70 Angel A

Nemus's face darkened; clearly, his 'past self' had undergone a transformation.

This isn't just being unconventional; it's going completely insane.

Nemus has always been a dual-soul entity.

He was a reincarnation; his original soul was hidden during the transmigration, and a new soul developed from it.

The true spirit lurks within the soul.

Because of the transformation by the Prayer Angel, his soul was solidified in his energy body.

Therefore, when he fell into demonic possession, Nemus could only enter the abyss as a true spirit, leaving his newborn soul and body entirely in the astral plane.

The astral plane is the transitional interface between the material plane and other planes.

It is an open space with little to no solid matter.

Most interdimensional travel requires passing through this or that place, and some summoning spells also require passing through there.

The astral plane is largely unaffected by time, so although Anin floated in the astral plane for three years, he did not die because it was too empty and unaffected by time.

"What happened to you in the Astral Plane?" Nemus couldn't help but ask Anin.

Nemus had anticipated that An Yin would still possess a way of thinking, but he had no idea that he would be so 'unconventional'.

“There are so many.” An Yin became interested and was about to start by telling the story of how she was blown away by a certain astral wind.

“Stop. What I want to know is, what makes your soul so active?” Nemus interrupted Anin’s rambling and went straight to the point.

"How come I didn't know you were so boring before?!" An Yin said with great regret.

“Bro, you know, after you left, my soul felt like it had lost some kind of pillar, and began to drift away in the environment of the astral plane.”

"It was during this divergence that some past memories began to become important support for me, and that's how I became like this."

"Although it might be a mental illness, I do feel much more energetic since then."

"The name An Yin is too conspicuous. From now on, your code name will be A, Angel A." After thinking it over, Nemus decided not to argue with his mentally ill self.

Fortunately, because he possessed divine status, the other party's fixed 'serving the gods' precepts were still effective. In addition, since he was once considered a human being, his true spirit could still resonate with it. Furthermore, due to the existence of the self-agreement, the other party would obey his commands.

The name An Yin itself belonged to the nobility, and coupled with his status as a so-called genius paladin, he became well-known to many.

Continuing to use this name will only cause considerable trouble.

"I understand, role-playing, right? I'm Angela, and this little girl is Baby?" Angel A's performance shattered the sacred impression that Op, the village guard, and others had of the Prayer Angel.

Fortunately, although it was generally shown that Nemus and Qi were one person, they are now two people, so this disillusionment did not extend to Nemus.

"I also want to ask you, what's her situation?" Nemus then saw Angel A innocently shrug. Angel A really didn't know why a little girl was rubbing against him as soon as he woke up.

"Perhaps there are many secrets about the floating whale that we don't know about." At this moment, Nemus also became interested.

In the early stages of cetaceanosis, there are ways to combat the disease through contact, but in the later stages, there are basically no cases of recovery.

Furthermore, once it transforms into a whale, even priests of the Gold rank are unwilling to get involved and simply kill it.

"So, why did she regain her sanity?" Nemus looked at Lydia with interest.

"Your gaze, if you were in a TV drama, you'd look like one of those perverts, you know." Angel A's words, which ruined the atmosphere, made Nemus glance at her.

Angel A immediately used his hands as a zipper to sew his mouth shut, then made an OK sign. Although he had no eyes, he could 'see' quite a few things.

However, Nemes then examined both of their bodies and learned the general situation.
