But at this moment, Naim was certain that Towns was a talent.

Towns, with his great desires, has always been yearning for more, and this yearning is a unique driving force.

Ultimately, it points to Nemus.

Nems is the ultimate goal that Downs longs for. He is exceptionally strong and can easily recruit various subordinates. In addition, Nems' public identity is the Holy Son of the Church, while his other identity is the Demon Lord and the creator of the Fictional Protocol.

Nems has everything, and he controls everything.

Therefore, Downs envied, resented, and hated Nems, and all his desires were pushing him to become like Nems.

In this process, Towns will naturally learn from Naims, and even instinctively imitate Naims.

Fortunately, Nems himself is not a person who likes to keep secrets.

So, at this moment, Towns was fighting in a desperate situation, and then inspiration struck, and his instincts kicked in.

Chapter 490 The Dragon of Time and Space?

Towns punched the Fate Doll again, using the recoil to create some distance.

In the next instant, his power changed.

The black flames on Downs' body weakened instantly, and then a force, following a certain trajectory, landed on Mocania in an instant.

At that moment, Mocania felt as if he had entered an abyss, with endless pain rushing into his body through those connections.

It was during this charge that Mocania completely lost her mind, her mind consumed by pain.

The Fate Doll, which was about to take action, stopped moving as Mocania's mind went blank.

Having already pushed beyond the limits of suffering, Downs seized the opportunity, bypassed the Fate Doll, and arrived before Mocania.

The burning hand, without the slightest pause, was about to pierce Mocania's skull.

However, Towns's actions changed slightly the next moment. Instead of aiming for the opponent's head, he pierced through Mocania's chest.

Clutching Mocania's heart, Towns pulled his hand away, and victory rushed toward him, which he then firmly grasped.

Mocania's body went limp, and she was about to die.

However, at this moment, the Fate Puppet, which had been at a standstill, began to move.

Its presence suddenly appeared behind Mocania, then it grabbed the dying Mocania and quickly retreated.

Towns wanted to give chase, but his legs gave way and he almost fell.

Despite the extreme pain, his potential was not damaged, but he was now close to being completely exhausted.

It would be difficult to pursue them.

To be honest, it wasn't very realistic for his subordinates to stop a Destiny Puppet of that power.

Their stats haven't improved yet, so in this kind of battle they can only be considered support at best.

"Lord Nemes." Upon receiving this result, Downs was not frustrated by yet another failed attempt to capture the enemy. Instead, he bowed his head and reported to Nemes.

“Well done,” Nems praised.

In the end, Towns did win. If Naim hadn't persuaded Towns to abandon his attack on the head and instead turn it into the heart, Mocania would be dead by now.

But this is actually not easy.

After all, Mocania was actually favored by fate.

With Towns gaining an advantage beforehand and being surrounded, Mocania should have been in a hopeless situation.

However, driven by fate, he became completely compatible with Xiaobi, and fused with the special characteristic of "Destiny Doll".

If fate had played its normal course, Towns should have lost.

But Towns also changed at that moment, turning the tables and overcoming this bias of fate.

From this point of view alone, Towns is definitely a talent.

But he was a talent personally nurtured by Nems.

Towns's defining trait is a strong desire, coupled with a talent for experiencing pain.

It was Nems who showed him true power and gave his desires a clear direction.

Step by step, Towns refused to fall behind, worked hard to study and research his own strengths, and eventually found his own future, growing into the person he is today.

"Although he was able to defeat Mocania, the biggest reason was his connection with me. In that situation, he borrowed some of my luck."

"However, this cannot erase Towns' personal growth," Naim thought. Luck is a weak connection; if Towns hadn't actively sought to get closer, he wouldn't have been able to benefit from Naim's luck.

"If Towns can maintain this form, he will eventually become a key player in his own right," Nemes said, expressing his expectations for Towns.

Then he instructed Towns on what to do next.

On the other side, the Fate Doll, after escaping with Mocania, paused slightly when it saw Mocania, who had stopped breathing and seemed to be dead. Its lifeless eyes seemed to hold too many complex emotions at this moment.

Then it reached into its own heart, pulled out its porcelain-like heart, and placed it into Mocania's empty chest.

With the new heart inserted and the Doll of Fate pressing against her chest, causing that heart to beat again, Mocania seemed to wake up from a nightmare.

The moment she woke up, Mocania immediately became alert, and only after finding herself in a safe zone did she feel somewhat incredulous.

He was completely powerless to resist at that moment. He clearly sensed that Downs's power of pain was strengthening him, but it suddenly jumped onto him.

That abrupt change must have required some extremely special technique.

Furthermore, Towns clearly lacked this skill previously, yet he instantly recognized the problem during the fight and instinctively used this technique, which requires arduous practice to master, effortlessly…

Looking back now, Mocania seems to see a trace of Nemes.

I definitely lost, but I'm actually fine now...

Mocania couldn't help but look at the Fate Doll not far away, whose chest was missing a piece and who was completely frozen in a daze.

"Little Bi... is that you?" Mocania asked softly, touching the doll's heart on her chest, but received no information.

Mocania then moved quickly to a new location, found the hidden markers, and went to meet up with Amy and the others.

At this moment, Nemes appeared, and an orange-yellow stone appeared in his hand.

The orange liquid inside the stone has now decreased by half.

"Dragon..." Nemus sensed the dragon-like aura within, gaining some understanding of this mythical creature.

This dragon clearly has no direct connection to Isabella's dragon bloodline.

In other words, there is no kinship relationship within several generations.

After all, Isabella's dragon scales are silver, while Mocania's scales are orange-yellow.

Influenced by the fantasy novels he had read in his previous life, Nemus believed that dragons should come in different kinds, and each kind should have different abilities and attributes.

For example, the red dragon represents fire, and the blue dragon represents electricity, and so on.

Isabella's bloodline comes from the Time Dragon.

But now, with this bit of dragon bone and dragon blood, Nemus realized he was wrong.

"The dragons in this world are very likely all time-space life forms."

"They all possess the properties of spacetime."

"If an entire race is like this, the most likely conclusion is..."

"The God of Time and Space is very likely a 'dragon'."

Nemus thought of the Seven Gods Alliance, which did not include the God of Time and Space.

"The complete disappearance of the Dragonblood Clan, the absence of a God of Time and Space within the Seven Gods Alliance—what special secrets are hidden within this?" Nemus pondered to himself.

With a knot tied behind him, Nemus appeared in the independent time.

Isabella remained standing in the same spot, still looking at Nemus as before.

Chapter 491 is here.

"Nemus!" Mocania once again embarked on a journey of escape, but he did not notice that the dragon bone blood that gave him special abilities was missing.

Because Mocania did not lose that ability.

He can still sense the danger he is in, and when needed, he can slow down the surrounding things several times over with a single thought.

This ability to slow down his surroundings became increasingly agile as he merged with the heart of the doll.

Furthermore, after that loss to Towns, Mocania began to train specifically for himself.

For example, his perception of pain changed after he discovered that his own heart had been replaced with a doll's heart.

He then pushed this change further, and thus successfully acquired the characteristic of "dollification".

Under the effect of 'dollification', his body's defenses increased dramatically, making it difficult for sensory experiences such as pain to impact his mind.

Even if he were to encounter that kind of pain again, he would be able to handle it with ease.

In addition, many of his fatal flaws were also removed.

As long as the critical core is not destroyed, most parts of the body can be filled in by the puppet parts generated by the body itself.

This kind of thing has actually been going on for a while. When Little Bi was hiding in Mocania's body, he replaced some of Mocania's organs with his own human model organs.

This forced Isabella to seal Little Bee inside Mocania's body.

However, the replacement was not thorough; in essence, the power of the demon was maintained from the outside.

However, under these characteristics, the replacement of doll organs actually means that Mocania's body has undergone a real change.

Even if the artificial demon, Little Bee, is no longer sealed in Mocania's body, there will be no problem.

However, this ability still couldn't change his predicament.

Under Nemes' command, the people hunting him during this period were no longer just Towns, but also Poole's whale-like team.

With the two teams joining forces, their living space was constantly compressed, and many times it was difficult for them to escape.

However, they had no choice but to activate the spatial locator for their last remaining hope, to contact the Holy Son, and to send the coordinates of the Azure Whale to the outside world.

So, although they later joined another group of fleeing clergy, their numbers dwindled.

Under this relentless pursuit and encirclement, Mocania could only watch as his men were sacrificed one by one, falling behind.

This was gradually eroding his heart, causing him increasing pain and making him even more determined to complete this 'mission' in order to gain support from the church headquarters.

But that only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

External forces can save him once or twice, but can they save him countless times?

"So the best way is for me to become stronger and advance to the Gold level!" Mocania thought.

During this period, despite not having many resources due to continuous battles, Mocania's stats have increased rapidly and are currently over eighty.

With a little more improvement, I can reach over ninety and enter the range where I can be promoted.

However, there is a big problem now: where will the resources for advancing to the Gold level come from?

Furthermore, in Mocania's view, even advancing to Gold rank would still not be enough.

Nemus has become a demon lord, and even on the material plane, he still possesses power exceeding that of an average extreme gold-level being.

In other words, if he were only a Gold-tier being, then standing in front of Nemus would still only result in him being instantly killed.

“So… I must continue to get stronger…” Mocania’s body changed, and a special doll that was 70% similar to him appeared in front of him.

This is precisely his destiny's puppet.

Whether it was due to some fluctuation in fate, or because of Xiao Bi or other factors, the destiny puppet he summoned this time was no longer the male-female doll with dragon scales that it had before.

This time, the Fate Doll has a strong body and looks like a burly man.

Besides, this Destiny Doll doesn't seem to be as lively as the previous Destiny Doll.

Mocania always felt that this new doll was very different from the dolls of the past.

This change gave Mocania a bad feeling.

However, Mocania couldn't come up with a solution, so she had to give up the idea and start working on her own plan of "stepping on her own feet with her left foot".

The Fate Doll is a doll that summons a doll that possesses some of its own future traits.
