Dina's mind was filled with incomprehension, and she even involuntarily felt insulted.

He went to great lengths to find the silver remnants, which he then refined into the Philosopher's Stone.

This is a broad road leading to the mythical race, and even Dartmenley suffered the calamities along the way.

In other words, the Philosopher's Stone is now a pure victory.

However, Nems, who obtained this portion of the fruit, did not keep it for himself, but instead distributed it to these 'refreshers'.

It's called a "refresher," but in reality, it doesn't even count as a human being.

They are merely a memory, a memory structure built upon memories.

He could not accept that these people shared sovereignty over the Philosopher's Stone with him.

"Is there a problem with this?" Nemus looked at Dina, becoming increasingly aware of the gap between the two.

From a slight deviation to a complete difference, the two people's personalities, beliefs, and perceptions have long since diverged.

Therefore, Dina did not think of this, which is why she failed to defend against it.

One by one, the refreshed people stood up, and the once efficient operation of the entire Silver City was severely stalled at this moment.

Because these people are seizing the one and only opportunity they've earned through countless lifetimes.

They use the Philosopher's Stone to complete their own existence.

Each time it is sublimated, each time it is completed.

Although the maximum capacity of the Philosopher's Stone was not consumed, only its basic abilities were utilized.

However, at this time, it severely disrupted the operation of the alchemical ritual.

At this crucial moment, the city lord's gaze fell upon the Lord of the Desolate Tomb.

At this moment, the Lord of the Desolate Tomb had his eyes closed, and all the things he had forgotten in the past were rapidly surfacing.

He looked at Dina, then stared intently at her.

"You deserve to die!!!" The black robe of the Lord of the Desolate Tomb shattered with his roar.

Its true colors were then revealed.

That was a face that Nems was relatively familiar with.

The second generation of Dartmenley.

Chapter 767 Numbers are King

As Saint-Datmenli's grandson, the second generation was naturally also in Datmenli's memories.

However, after so many days of Naim's presence, while 50,000 people may seem like a lot, Naim had already thoroughly 'screened' them all.

Nems did not find the existence of the second generation among them.

If we rule out the possibility that the Second Generation was completely erased by Dina, then it wouldn't be too difficult to determine the Second Generation's true identity.

Furthermore, from a purely utilitarian perspective, those who share the same origin are the most efficient at transforming corpses.

Dina ignored the anger of the second generation Dartmelli, who was now looking at Nemus with the same fury.

The two, who are enemies, are now simultaneously filled with rage.

It has to be said, Dina is truly ruthless.

The Dry Tomb lineage is essentially composed of 'ghouls'.

Whose corpse were they consuming? Naturally, it was a corpse from the underworld.

Over the years, each time the second generation has been 'reincarnated,' they have basically been guided to become members of the Kujira clan.

For the past few years, it has been the second generation that has been the main force devouring the corpses.

This is why the second generation is so angry.

Dina's anger was not solely due to her impending defeat.

Furthermore, because the alchemical ritual was defiled, the pure silver was given to the poor—what a sin!

This is what Dina is thinking right now.

People change.

When Nemus first came into this world, he harbored the idea that he was going to do great things and constructed his own 'ideal'.

He wanted to change the world and leave his eternal name in it.

In essence, he wanted to do something great, but his early education led him to choose reforming the world as his goal.

This is not surprising.

Nems was never truly committed to doing good from the start.

Or rather, any persistence that is not based on experience is, in the first place, a fabrication.

To transform perseverance into a truly unwavering belief, one needs to repeatedly solidify their understanding through various experiences.

Many people go astray in this process.

The same is true for Dina, and even for Nems.

Their current beliefs are vastly different from their initial thoughts.

Dina's current understanding is closer to winning and losing.

He couldn't accept losing to the sun god, and he didn't want to forever hide in the sun god's glory.

This rejection extended to Nemes.

He refused to accept that he had lost to any true spirit.

He is determined to win, and he will do anything to achieve it.

This belief and understanding makes him value anything that can help him win.

While valuing certain things may not always lead to valuing others less, it is highly likely that valuing certain things will lead to valuing others less.

Dina didn't think she had done anything wrong.

They are just some 'people' derived from memory.

They're not real people, so why should we care about what they think?

We should use it however we see fit.

However, Nems had a different perspective on this.

Because he clearly understood that the essence of the soul in this world is the manifestation of the number of thoughts.

Nemus would never deny the existence of anything that possesses thought and identifies itself as human.

He delegated authority to these people not to save them, but to win.

But the most crucial point is that Nemes doesn't see this as a waste.

They would not think that this was a sin.

This is not a bad thing, but a normal choice.

However, at this moment, Dina experienced a cognitive bias. He felt sorry not only because Nemus had the possibility of winning in this way, but also because these refreshers had used his things.

An instinctive sense of contempt made him feel that these refreshers were unworthy.

“Biased perceptions lead to discrimination, and discrimination causes people to overlook some important aspects of their vision.” Nemes noted this down.

Dina lost today precisely because of this.

That's right. Although he only interfered with the alchemical ritual, Nemus has basically secured the victory.

He held the sword and pressed it against Moro's chest.

Moro's eyes held both his personal fear and struggle, as well as the twisting and turning of the alchemical ritual.

At this moment, he was like an individual fused with the alchemical ritual.

“Nemus, you can’t kill me. Even if the alchemical ritual is disrupted, my [equivalent exchange] ability, as the core, has not been lost.”

"You want my life? You can't!!!"

Every moment, Moro's power is engaged in an equivalent exchange, exchanging the fact that the sword pierced him for something else.

As long as his strength continues, Nemus will never be able to kill him.

However, at this moment, Nemus smiled slightly, gripped the sword in his hand, and thrust it downwards with force.

In an instant, Moro felt the scales of "equivalent exchange" before him being broken.

"You said before that numbers are king, and that's certainly true."

"In the face of absolute numbers, all mechanisms are nothing but paper tigers!"

An indescribable, terrifying power erupted from Nemus's hands.

The ordinary blade was now trembling and vibrating wildly.

The sword tip pressed against Moro's body, then slowly pushed inwards.

Moro could only look at the sword, feeling utterly helpless.

No matter how the concept of "equivalent exchange" works, it cannot change this fact.

The reason for this is simply this: numerical values.

Nems often prefers to use techniques against his enemies.

This does not mean that Nems' mechanism is flawed.

When Naim uses a mechanism, it doesn't mean that Naim has no value.

"How is this possible? How could your stats be so high?!" Moro exclaimed in disbelief.

How long has Nemus been in Silver City?

During this period, he lost contact with his original body again, and it was difficult for the original body's numerical values ​​to be transmitted.

Apart from bloodline curses and mental attacks, nothing else works.

The fact that Nemus was able to become a card user and then advance to the Silver rank has already puzzled many people.

For others to become Silver-tier and collect a complete set of cards, it would take at least two or three years to achieve resonance.

As a result, Naim completely skipped this process.

"Because I have already figured out the essence of numbers. As long as I have energy, even if I acquire the most ordinary body, I can raise my own numbers to the 'limit' I understand in a short time."

"The Silver City restricts everything to the shackles of the Silver race, which is useless against me."

Nems said this.

These two statements are partly true and partly false.

If it were outside, then Nems could indeed do everything he said.

As long as it is an extension of his own 'thought', and as long as his soul can bear it, the values ​​can quickly return to the original state.

This can be considered as achieving a pseudo-permanent proof through one's own knowledge and ability.

The problem is that Nems is not free from the restrictions of the Silver City.

He used other methods to obtain the energy filling value.

But there's no need to talk to a dead person about that.

The sword pierced Moro's body, and he died instantly.

Chapter 768 I Want Yang Ren Dead!

This time, Moro's death was truly his death.

Nemus's sword pierced through all his life force, and his very existence was erased in that instant.

What was originally just a disrupted alchemical ritual has now truly lost a major core element.

Moro's death secured Nemes' victory.
