However, it cannot be denied that there are some geniuses in this world.

Operations are not purely numerical calculations, and their arithmetic formulas are not entirely fixed.

During the process of strengthening one's body, changes in one's own fortune are also very important.

There are many variables involved.

The emergence of these variables can also bring about different developments for the Sword of Fortune.

For example, Forrest.

He inexplicably discovered that his progress in cultivating the Sword of Power had accelerated considerably.

Originally, it was all a blur, but only by strictly following the requirements of swordsmanship could one imbue the sword with the power of energy.

However, now he felt as if the luck within him had come alive, as if a sword master, frustrated by his lack of progress, was grabbing him by the neck and manipulating his hand to wield the sword.

Under this hands-on guidance, his swordplay became exceptionally fluid, and he subtly touched upon the second stage, the Path of Heaven.

"This is because he became a swordsmanship instructor for many people, and countless people learned swordsmanship from him."

"That's why this external influence caused his luck to increase significantly."

"And these fortunes are also related to many swordsmen."

"That's why his swordsmanship talent increased."

"This state is also quite interesting."

"Can fate be changed by luck?" Nemes was almost certain that Forrest was just an ordinary, insignificant member of a noble family.

His talent for cultivation is average, but he has some talent in a certain area.

His most likely fate is that, under the family's tutelage, he will barely gain some power, and then he will need to enter into a marriage alliance and take on certain family businesses or responsibilities.

The only possible way to turn things around is to have a child and see if the child is good enough.

If you remain ordinary, you'll never be able to turn your life around.

He gradually became an insignificant marginal figure in the noble family, and he had to repay the family for what they had provided for him through his own efforts.

However, things are different now. During his cultivation of the Sword of Fortune, a change occurred, and his fate underwent a dramatic transformation.

“Fate…fate…” Nemus slowly absorbed the insights, gaining a deeper understanding of the Sword of Destiny.

The next step is to refine and then expand.

Nemus wondered how powerful his swordsmanship would be once it reached the level of the Sword of Destiny.

Beneath the grand promotion of the Sword of Fortune lies the rapid spread of fictitious protocols.

Because everyone with eyes can see who developed the Sword of Fortune, and now not only is the other party unharmed, but they are also able to promote the sword technique like crazy.

Therefore, the strength of the fabricated agreement needs no further proof.

As the reputation of fictitious agreements grew stronger, more and more people naturally joined in.

Furthermore, the fictitious agreement also issued a statement that the Sword of Fortune would be more effective and powerful if used in conjunction with the same Breathing Technique.

So the swordsman who originally had no intention of joining the order, after truly experiencing the benefits of the Sword of Fortune, now felt itchy to obtain the Breath of Fortune.

During this time, Nemus's Holy Son clone has been working overtime to deal with this matter, trying to destroy the Fictitious Agreement's hideout in Airspring City.

Unfortunately, they only managed to catch some peripheral members each time.

However, another thing went relatively smoothly: they found traces of the monster that was suspected to be created by the Holy Son Project.

Chapter 317 You Were Born as an Experiment Subject (Last Day, Please Vote!)

Some time ago, a monster that looked like a skinned frog appeared on the outskirts of Qiquan City.

His flesh and blood were completely exposed, with various chunks of flesh twisted together, giving people a very disgusting feeling.

This monster lurks around the city of Airspring, stealthily attacking passersby and then causing them to kill each other and devour their own flesh.

The monster will give some of its own flesh to the ultimate victors.

The winner who eats the monster's flesh will also undergo a mutation, becoming a muscular monster with a bulging body.

With just their muscles, their stats are roughly equivalent to a paladin with a stat of around seven or eight.

Before this monster was discovered, many people went missing almost every day. These missing people killed each other, and eventually only a dozen or so monsters remained, lurking around Qiquan City and hunting other passersby.

When the church discovered the monster, they initially thought it was some kind of evil creature, such as a ghoul or a demon.

However, when using holy methods, it was discovered that the monster's flesh and blood had an astonishingly high resistance to holy attributes.

Of the clergy who initially went there, all but one who managed to escape perished.

The survivors brought back some flesh and blood, and after research, the church determined that this muscular monster was a product of Project Son.

However, when they examined various files, they discovered something strange.

That is, in the experiments back then, there were only a few families with the bloodline of saints involved.

The Dartment family, the essence of sainthood manifests as 'bone'.

The Neton family, the essence of the saint manifests as the 'right hand'.

There are three other organs, which manifest as the skin, eyes, and lungs, respectively.

Of the five saintly families in total, none of them have a clear connection with meat.

Among all the saints, there are some who are related to flesh.

However, these saints were either far away and did not participate in the Azure Whale experiment at all, or they were from other churches and had nothing to do with this Holy Son experiment.

There were no relevant blood records in the various experimental records from that time.

Therefore, they were also unsure which of the original test subjects this fleshy monster was.

There were a total of 367 experimental subjects recorded.

There are thirteen experimental subjects provided by holy blood families like the Rhine.

Of these thirteen people, nine have been confirmed dead.

Of the remaining four, besides Rhine, White, and Yibanyan, there was also a failed Holy Son, who had been imprisoned by his original family.

Apart from these thirteen people, the remaining 354 test subjects were either volunteers selected from certain places, prisoners captured by the church, or new lives they cultivated themselves.

Most of these test subjects died during the experiments.

Of those still alive, there are probably only three or four left.

Of these three or four people, one is currently being held in custody by the church, while the whereabouts of the other two or three are currently unknown.

When the Holy Son Project was halted, most of the surviving test subjects, who required resources to maintain their vital signs, were abandoned, and their bodies were all disposed of.

A small number of those who can survive independently without resources are adopted into church-run welfare homes for special groups and are subject to supervision.

However, as time went on, these experimental subjects who did not show any talent were basically abandoned, and therefore were no longer valued.

Their concern was merely met with a gag order, preventing them from speaking freely.

One of them was seriously injured while in the orphanage, and died before the pastor could treat him.

However, recent investigations have revealed some problems with the file; the test subject's autopsy report is somewhat too 'standard'.

The priest who collected the bodies of the test subjects died during a mission sometime in the past. His death was perfectly normal, and no problems were found.

The other two test subjects disappeared suddenly a few years ago.

Preliminary assessment suggests that the two test subjects were subjected to less oversight during those years, leading them to choose to escape.

During the search of their residence, they discovered the two men's escape plan.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find the two test subjects.

The church then stopped expending energy searching for it.

They were just two failed experiments.

The only one who was imprisoned began to have health problems in his daily life. He started biting people, exhibited violent symptoms, and his mental state deteriorated, which is why the church imprisoned him.

So this one, being the only one, became the only one who didn't disappear.

"That's why you have doubts, and why you suspect there are three or four survivors, plus the meticulous and methodical one, and the failed holy son imprisoned by another noble family."

“There are probably five or six surviving test subjects,” Nemus concluded, then glanced around at the surrounding clergy.

The expressions on these people's faces varied; some looked at Naims with ingratiating eyes, while others dared not look at him.

More than anything, they were wary of Naims.

His current role is that of a special investigator.

The investigation will focus on the remnants of Project Son and the fabricated agreement.

However, these two things were separated.

When Nemes was investigating Project Son, some people who were involved in the research at the time needed to cooperate with him.

The group surrounding Nems now consists mostly of the researchers and security personnel from back then.

On the other side of the Fictional Agreement, the main force consists of Emerald and Anelli, while Nemus is more accurately described as an ally against the 'Fictional Demon'.

To provide combat power for Aimelu and the others at crucial moments.

Nemes withdrew his gaze and refocused on the report in front of him.

Among these, those who are meticulous and methodical are trustworthy.

He was Killieman's 'squire,' which was essentially no different from being his personal assistant.

He spends most of his 24 hours a day with Killieman, except for occasional errands that require him to leave temporarily.

In this situation, the likelihood of him causing trouble is very small, and these people will not put him on the suspect list.

Among the remaining people, through continuous investigation, the two experimental subjects who had disappeared from the welfare home were gradually found.

“To be on the safe side, I will also participate in the arrest,” Nems said, standing up. He then glanced again at the many elderly people around him.

"In addition to the test subjects, please also prepare a copy of the files of the researchers who participated in the experiment."

“Nemus, you were born an experimental subject, what right do you have to ask for our files!” Someone immediately decided to object.

Chapter 318 Jane

People are often anxious because they are afraid.

And fear often stems from having done too many wrong things.

The same applies to these people right now.

Among them are people in their sixties, seventies, or even over a hundred years old.

However, the fact that they were able to participate in such a top-secret project as the Holy Son Project shows that they held a high position in the church and were trusted by the church.

Therefore, there are many types of steel among them.

Even if he were over a hundred years old, he would only look like a middle-aged or elderly man at this moment, appearing to be an old man who is close to or has just retired.

When the plan was halted, the old pastor exiled himself, while these people simply kept a low profile for a few years and then acted as if nothing had happened.

However, as the details of Project Son have been gradually exposed recently, fear has also taken root in their hearts.

At that moment, a priest of the Ironblood race slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and glared at Nemus, his beard bristling.

His anger and frustration were now very evident on his face.

Then many clergy members also stood up, and their expressions were not good.

"Are you afraid I'll retaliate against you?" Nems asked, looking at the man. As soon as he finished speaking, the man groaned as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer.

"Or did you really do something?" Nems continued to ask, and the man staggered backward, blood trickling from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

“But I have something to tell you: I want to kill you all, and I can do it now. No one will hold me accountable,” Nemus said, seemingly without restraint.

Those who had originally stood up were now becoming restless.

Some people even began preparing to cast spells.

Personal files are a collection of information about clergy members compiled by the church. They include every job change they make, and even reports submitted after being activated on the grid.
