This indicates that during this operation, Dina once again applied a 'buff' to Moro.

Nemus blocked Moro's next attack with [Hood Strike], and his sword was activated in a series of strikes.

During each action, he can wield seven or eight swords.

However, all seven or eight of these sword strikes would be directly 'beaten' by Moro, making them ineffective.

It must be said that Moro was extremely difficult to deal with at this time.

Thanks to the effects of his secret technique, coupled with his already high stats, his strength has far exceeded normal limits.

Furthermore, he has already become somewhat detached from the rules of the Silver City.

This is too difficult to deal with...

It was at this moment that Nemes truly grasped the crux of the problem.

"So that's why Moro's behavior was inconsistent and the appearance of his secret technique was so illogical." Nemus slightly forced Moro back with his sword. Looking at the faint light on Moro's body, he could sense that Moro was still growing stronger.

However, at this moment, his gaze toward Moro carried a hint of pity.

"What do you mean by that look?!" Moro felt an inexplicable surge of anger rising within him.

He was already evenly matched with Nemes at this moment, and was even gradually gaining the upper hand.

But why, why was Nemus's gaze filled with pity?

“I’m looking at a neutered and domesticated pet,” Nems said.

When these words were spoken, Moro instinctively felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling for some reason.

This emotion wells up from the very essence and the very core of one's being.

It quickly spread throughout Moro's body and took over his mind.

However, this line of thinking quickly shifted back to Nemes, because it was all Nemes who brought it all along.

By this point, Nemus had largely solved the mystery of Moro.

The difference in Moro's personality between his previous and current lives is partly due to the influence of his environment.

For various reasons, he went astray.

Then, this tendency to go astray, due to the purification effect of the alchemical ritual, becomes increasingly thorough.

The other aspect is the key point.

In his previous life, Moro was indeed kind, brave, and very intelligent.

During this process, he joined the secret arts lineage and gradually discovered the problems of the Silver City.

Because of his unique circumstances, he began to try to break free from the influence of the Silver City on him.

In this context, Moro developed a variety of special secret techniques.

However, it was precisely because of this behavior that Moro had to sacrifice himself during the last incident involving the undead.

He was completely castrated.

It's even possible that he experienced the 'reversal' effect in alchemy.

That is, a thing exhibits completely opposite characteristics during the alchemical process.

That's why Moro is so 'naturally evil' and so averse to secret arts.

“As expected, we’ve gone down different paths.” Nemus looked at Dina, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

Dina's starting point was the individual closest to him.

However, the way Moro was treated reveals that the developmental gap between the two individuals has become quite large.

According to Nemes' theory.

He, Kru, and others are merely a part of the decay within a decaying world.

But on their decaying bodies, a flower called ideal still blooms.

In other words, Nems and his ilk are ruthless in their methods of doing many things.

However, when it comes to ideals and beliefs, they can still retain a sliver of humanity.

For example, in the fictional world, Nemus does indeed use the dwarves as tools.

However, it did indeed provide the dwarfs with clear enough information to elevate their thinking from the realm of thought and give them the opportunity to become true life forms.

This is often the case.

Nemes rarely concealed anything and generally gave these tools some opportunities to improve.

But this was not the case for Dina; his flowers had completely withered.

Driven by their own ambitions, they no longer care about anything else.

Moro, even if they are his own people, once their vital interests are involved, he doesn't care about their thoughts anymore and just castrates them.

To some extent, they have completely transformed into the kind of people that Nemes once despised.

Seemingly noticing Nemus's gaze, Dina's expression remained unchanged.

After he became a member of the golden seed, he began to quietly reform the church.

They gradually put forward their own ideas, wanting to give more people opportunities.

However, after only a short period of time, Nemes gave up on it.

Because he realized that he couldn't change anything.

Chapter 763 Deviation

Within the church, there are far too many instances of people at the bottom not being treated as human beings.

It has become so prevalent that it has become a form of spiritual pollution.

In that pollution, Dina gradually lost sight of herself.

He had no choice but to leave the church and begin his own travels.

However, the more he traveled in this world, the more he understood this: he couldn't change anything.

Reality dealt him a cold, painful blow.

In contrast, Nemus was directly sacrificed and then entered the abyss.

Although he was woken up in the most brutal way, he never experienced the gradual cooling of his heart.

So even though Nemus fell directly into the abyss, he still retained a trace of humanity.

On the contrary, Dina has been completely lost.

This difference is similar to that of Moro.

In subsequent experiences, the deviation will gradually become more and more significant.

Until now.

Although the two still share many similarities, they are fundamentally different people.

This difference, at this moment, clearly tore apart the distinction between them.

And this is precisely what allowed Nemes to get another 'iteration'.

“The essence of true spirits is different, and the path of fusion has once again been proven to be ineffective.”

Nemus had previously decided that fusion was not an option for various reasons, which is why he did not want to further fuse with Dina.

Now, however, Nemes has completely rejected this idea, acting entirely from his own heart and nature.

This understanding of the true spirit, the self, and thoughts and destiny further propelled Nems' transformation.

This change stirred the true spirit deep within Nems' soul.

At that very moment, Nemus could sense that the liberation of the true spirit had begun once again.

And Naims gradually developed a premonition.

The true spirit can only be released three times.

To be precise, it was a liberation of three different degrees.

After the third and deepest liberation, the essence within the true spirit will be fully acquired by itself.

Both the Sun God and the Dina before them may have previously unleashed their true spirits.

However, they only carried out the first or second liberation.

As they find their own path, the true spirit becomes an obstacle on their path.

That's why I had to let go of the true spirit and stop holding on to it.

At this moment, Nemus did not sense any negative impact that the release of the true spirit would have on him.

Therefore, in terms of the outcome, perhaps I am the one most suited to the true spirit.

Dina was unaware of Nems' transformation.

But Dina knew that she had now entered a 'troublesome' situation.

First, as time goes by, his power will only grow stronger with each deployment.

In other words, as long as they drag it out, they are bound to win.

After all, Silver City was his home turf, and he had a huge advantage there.

Nemes was merely an individual connected through the sacrifice of Dartmenley. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some time to spare, and the urging of the main destiny, Nemes would have arrived at a crucial juncture.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Nemus could affect his alchemical ritual.

"Whether it was a decade or two earlier, or a few months later, I have countless ways to crush him."

"But at this crucial point, everything is just too embarrassing for me."

This is Dinai's first predicament, as most of his power is devoted to maintaining the alchemical ritual.

At this moment, although the forces available to them are increasing thanks to their arrangements, a swift kill is still very difficult.

Secondly, Dina understood one thing very well: never underestimate 'Naimus'.

One of the most powerful characteristics of a True Spirit is its growth potential.

The true spirit is a miracle from another world.

This miracle is mysterious; it's as if there's a fire within, constantly propelling the soul to burst forth with upward momentum.

Even if he lost his true spirit, its influence on him still exists.

As time goes by, even though he has rotted away and the flower of his ideals has long since withered, he still retains the spirit of striving for progress and growth.

In comparison, Nems will only have more.

This growth potential is precisely the most dangerous quality.

Because given time, Naim will always be able to develop some special abilities.

Then, amidst the enemy's exclamations of impossibility, they turned the tide and secured victory.

However, it was Dina herself who accomplished all of this.

Now, he has changed positions.

He was no longer the victor who turned defeat into victory, but someone whose fate was about to be overturned.

Dina was extremely clear about one thing at that moment.

If he had followed the plan step by step, thinking that he could have relied on the passage of time to gradually recover his strength and then crush Nemus.

Then he himself would definitely lose.

And they will lose completely.

He will be just like those enemies he defeated back then, slowly being overwhelmed by Nemus's growth potential, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.

So at this moment, Dina is looking for a way. He can't cling to that false goal of victory, thinking that dragging things out will definitely lead to a win.

Caught between two conflicting situations, this is the awkward predicament Dina currently faces.

A quick victory is not possible, nor can the conflict be prolonged.
