"That's not enough. Although these secrets of the discipline are already top-tier secrets, the church headquarters must have some secrets that only a few top old monsters know." Nemus is now considered to be in the T1 tier of the Discipline Church.

Above that, only saints and those like Jialisi, who are at full gold value, can surpass him.

It's estimated that Naim still has a long way to go before he can truly reach the top of the Discipline Church and obtain all the information that the Discipline Church can actually access.

So far, the infiltration of the church appears to have been a great success.

Even if I am exposed, at least I won't have lost out.

“But it’s not profitable yet!” The moment Nemus became the Grand Master, he was basically certain that the Azure Whale was now in his hands.

After all, he had access to the Azure Whale's medical report and various confidential information.

Given the connection between Angel A and the Azure Whale, if he doesn't win over Sister Whale, he can forget about ever reaching the pinnacle.

The problem now is that the identity of the Holy Son was revealed directly when the Azure Whale became independent, and then the teleportation array set up by outsiders on the Azure Whale was directly cut off.

Or should we keep it slightly hidden, allowing the Holy Son to find an opportunity to distance himself from the matter, so that he can later go to the headquarters of the Discipline Church to further infiltrate?

After all, the danger posed by an insider is too great.

Nemes pondered this matter, then opened the headquarters to grant a formal appointment.

The text describes Nemus's achievements and confirms that he is the only suitable candidate to be the Grand Master of the Azure Whales.

Hopefully, he will fulfill his duties, spread God's teachings, protect God's sheep, and restore the glory of the Dartmentley family.

"As expected... there are still pitfalls left." Nemus touched the appointment letter.

The divine essence trembled slightly, and the precept of keeping the oath was also fluctuating slightly.

Therefore, it can be concluded that this appointment letter is a top-level contract.

It doesn't even require Nemus's signature; as long as he becomes the Grand Master of the Azure Whale according to the terms of the appointment letter, the contract will officially take effect.

As time goes on, the binding force of the contract between Nems and the church will become stronger and stronger.

Ultimately, it was locked up by the church.

Chapter 392 Organizing

Nemes smiled at the letter of appointment, not paying it any mind.

Demons are experts at exploiting loopholes in contracts.

This appointment letter has very strict restrictions for ordinary church paladins.

However, for Nemus, there is a major weakness.

That is, having one-fifth of a nine, he is fully capable of calling himself the God of Discipline.

Furthermore, the power of divinity is overwhelming to all powers based on the God of Discipline.

If all else fails, I can use the power of my divine status to completely 'cover' this thing.

What followed was a grand succession ceremony.

Many people came to watch the ceremony, seeing Galis, on behalf of the Pope, bestow the title of Grand Master upon Nemes.

After that, Galis did not stay long, as the church headquarters at that time could not be left unattended for an extended period of time.

She's been very busy, having already spent a considerable amount of time at Azure Whale this time.

Of course, during this process, Galis also searched for the Azure Whale, trying to find traces of the fictional agreement and the fictional demon and angel A, but she was never able to find their true location.

Now that he's leaving, he's also instructed Saint Nai to improve his stats as soon as possible and then eliminate the fictitious agreement.

Nems nodded seriously in agreement.

He declared that he and the fictional agreement were mortal enemies and that he would definitely pay attention to this matter, absolutely preventing the fictional demon from becoming the second Twin Demon and causing further great harm to the Azure Whale.

"Of course, because this is my Azure Whale."

"I will absolutely not fail like the Twin Demons, but will succeed in becoming independent and minimize the losses!"

Nemes smiled, and then—

I repent, +3!

Although you've reached the legendary level, repentance points are still useful.

He can still reset his skill points and meticulously adjust his foundation, making himself more and more perfect.

After all, the previous version of the Meditation Method was only version 1.0.

Although cultivation has no side effects, it is certainly not perfect.

In addition, Nemus was in a hurry to advance in his cultivation, so after resetting his skill points, he used both cultivation methods simultaneously.

With his own accumulation, he quickly reached over 180 points, but neither the mental nor the physical aspect could immediately reach 100.

The only way to fill the value was to use the forbidden number obtained from purifying the warden.

Therefore, although Nemus successfully advanced and his legendary traits were not diminished in the slightest, his future potential was affected.

"It is said that after the seed is planted, it takes one hundred points of repentance to wash away one stat."

"It will probably take some time to completely cleanse the foundation." Nemus observed the reserves of repentance points, but didn't seem too concerned about it.

The next step is simply to spend some time accumulating experience.

The entire Azure Whale is basically under our control.

Whether it's the positive or negative side, it's all about himself.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't speak, the Azure Whale will surely be peaceful.

Sitting in the office where Guilliman once worked, Nemus flipped through the documents submitted from various levels, and with the help of various information, he gradually gained a clear understanding of the entire Discipline Church on the back of the Azure Whale.

The Azure Whale Discipline Church, excluding trainees, has nearly 20,000 full-time clergy.

There were only about 8,000 priests, while the majority of the rest were paladins.

Only a small portion of these are alchemists and other special professions supported by the church.

This data is still considered normal, considering that a large number of trainee pastors and squires were not recorded.

Of these, the steel division has approximately 1,800 people.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much at all; in fact, it's not enough.

The Azure Whale has a total of 120 towns and more than 30 special agencies.

Excluding Qiquan City, on average each town and special institution can only be allocated twelve types of steel.

The largest town, Baiwei Town, with a population of hundreds of thousands, has fewer than twenty steel mills.

It looks like a lot, but in reality, something happened that meant it wasn't enough.

Of the 1,800 people, about 300 were retirees, all over 100 years old, who basically did not participate in combat.

This data has not yet reached the average value.

According to data from the church headquarters, 80 percent of clergy never achieve the Iron Seed rank in their lifetime.

Of the total 20,000 clergy, if only 20% are of the steel type, then there should be 4,000 of them of the steel type.

Furthermore, the lifespan of the steel species is approximately two hundred years, which is much longer than that of ordinary clergy.

The number of casualties and turnovers is less than that of ordinary clergy, so the cumulative number should not be so small.

According to a certain theory, in a densely populated town, one Iron-type priest is needed for every 10,000 people. Therefore, Baiwei Town should be equipped with fifty Iron-type priests to be considered qualified.

In towns like Zhongping, which cover a vast area, a steel plant needs to be stationed every few villages to ensure that no problems occur within the area.

But these things were never accomplished.

"This shows whether a local church is still healthy."

"With a severe shortage of manpower, it's no wonder that the problem with the Twin Demons has been difficult to discover for so long."

Nemes couldn't help but feel that the problems within the Discipline Church were serious.

"The truth is, it started a hundred years ago, when the church began to decline day by day."

"And the battle I participated in four years ago in the Abyss was just the final explosion of all these problems."

"From this perspective, something must have happened to the God of Discipline a hundred years ago that forced Him to wage war against the Abyss."

Nemes did consult the files, but Azure Whale didn't have much information on this topic.

This simply means that the Azure Whale supplied a considerable amount of whale oil, and at the same time, it initiated talent recruitment programs, including the Holy Son Project.

"So we still need to figure out the reason." Nemes set a goal briefly, and then began handling government affairs.

Although Gotthard did not break with convention and became a local Grand Knight as an outsider.

However, they took advantage of this time to frantically expand the power of the ruling faction.

After all, the court is arresting people every day these days.

If Nems is not familiar with political affairs, he may be gradually sidelined.

It was at this moment that the Nemus demon, which had been hidden deep within the soul of this body, swiftly left the body of the Holy Son through the bond of oath.

The dark mist, shimmering with a few sparks, seeped into Jian Nai's soul.

Then, without any interruption, he continued to deal with the matters at hand.

Two clumps of sinful souls.

And the demon that was transformed into a different kind of demon by Moritulus's sinful spirit.

Pick up the soul components that you've already prepared and start studying them.

Chapter 393 Soul Infection

Moritolus himself wasn't quite sure how he became a sinful spirit.

According to him, he gradually developed the characteristics of a sinful spirit after being possessed by a demon.

After becoming Grand Master, Nemus also accessed the relevant files.

However, most of it is just routine information.

They were able to confirm that the taboo possessed by Moritulus was the sin of 'fusion'.

As for why integration is a sin, the message did not explicitly state it.

Only Forbidden Hunters will have access to detailed information about these forbidden areas.

After studying it for a while, Nemes found that this situation was somewhat similar to his own.

"After I completely seized Nair's soul through the contract, I hid inside Nair's soul."

“During this process, Nair’s soul underwent a subtle change, completely aligning itself with mine and becoming like a ‘split soul’ of mine.”

"And it's even more obvious on the Holy Son's side."

"After my true spirit entered the living body, the soulless living body was stimulated and began to develop a soul."

"But this newly derived soul has a special feature, allowing one number to carry two numerical values ​​of different properties."

"This also means that my true spirit has other qualities besides concealment, tripled stats, and rapid advancement."

Nemus explored himself, and then he also explored the alien demon before him.

His soul is a completely different matter.

The other person's soul has several holes, and these holes are able to 'breathe'.

It is precisely because of this that the other party possesses a characteristic called "Strong Soul": after possessing a vessel, it can release its own physical attributes to enhance the vessel.

This characteristic seems useless, because all demons possess this kind of ability.

However, upon closer examination of the details, it becomes clear that this characteristic is terrifyingly strong.

One of the problems with demonic vessels is that the strengthening process takes time. If the main body is powerful enough but the vessel is too weak, then some flesh and blood will be needed.

One of the effects of "Strengthening Soul" is that it can easily skip the preparation time and the investment of flesh and blood. Once it possesses a vessel, it can immediately make the vessel obtain the original body's values.

If the twin demons possess this characteristic, then they wouldn't need to hold such a large-scale blood sacrifice. Once the demon projection appears, it finds a vessel and possesses it, and its strength is at its peak.

In addition, the "Strong Soul" trait also has the ability to quickly detach.
