Nemus chose Niel because Niel's identity was suitable, and because he had just arrived in the material plane and did not have a better partner at the time.

The reason he continued to use this body was because his identity made it easy for him to enter the church system, and given the right opportunity, he could directly become the Great Knight of Tailwind Town.

Now that we have a ready-made identity and body, and since the identity of Niall is almost ruined, we might as well quickly change to a new and more useful one.

Nems was not a prophet; he was unaware that Rhine had secretly hidden the Holy Wish ritual.

Originally, it was just a matter of vying for historical numbers, and making a little noise could have been easily covered up.

However, the existence of the Sacred Wish Ceremony indicates that the Golden Seeds attach different levels of importance to this matter.

"Therefore, the two Gold-types are probably closely monitoring the current situation in Baiwei Town. If I continue to stay as Nair, even if I advance to the Legendary type, my value in uniting the two Gold-types will prevent them from investigating further. There is limited room for me to do anything next."

Nemus wanted to enter the church in order to gain knowledge of the God of Commandments, a secret knowledge related to God that was not open to outsiders.

Naturally, it wouldn't be open to those with problems or those of legendary or golden species who are under suspicion.

Perhaps such doubts can be dispelled through actions and abilities, but that would undoubtedly take a very long time.

And in the process, someone has to take the blame for what happened in Baiwei Town.

But who will take the blame?

Parsons, everyone knows how strong he really was, and he's already dead.

The realm of Arhats is barely enough, but still falls short.

As for Rhein, he was Killiemann's confidant, and Killiemann wouldn't believe him if he were to take the blame.

Isabella was even less capable of that.

Others would find it even more difficult to justify their own explanations.

And most importantly, all of these people are dead.

When a problem becomes significant and you are the only one who hasn't made a mistake, everyone will start to suspect that you are the biggest problem.

Since that's the case, let's leave the problem unresolved and let the original person take the blame.

At this time, Nemus became the Holy Son.

Nems won, and Nems also lost.

Then the doubts surrounding the Holy Son Nemes will be lessened.

Most of the attention from others was focused on the escaped fictional Protocol Nems.

Furthermore, problems concerning the Holy Son, such as those related to Dartment, can actually become trustworthy evidence in this situation.

Dartmenley, those who know, know.

“If that’s the case, Lord Nemus, your identity is likely to be exposed.” Kru also thought of the previous situation, and Nemus’s true identity had already been partially revealed.

“It couldn’t be hidden for long anyway.” Nemus didn’t seem too concerned. If the God of Discipline awakened, Nemus would inevitably be exposed.

If the God of Discipline doesn't awaken, then being exposed is being exposed.

The limited resources available to the Discipline Church present the perfect opportunity for its aggressive expansion.

Currently, his power is just beginning to take shape. Although the potential of Niel's body is limited, it has been raised to its maximum value after this battle. He only needs to obtain some whale oil and make some saint potions. Advancing to the Gold level should not be a problem.

In addition to his Sword of Fortune, and the trait he just acquired—'Knotting for Records'.

He was confident that he could navigate the church from the back of this whale, where transportation was not very convenient.

Taking this opportunity to stop hiding, they began to expand the influence of the fictitious agreement.

After making this decision, Nems and his men got to work.

There was no need for much disguise at the scene; the most important thing was how to evacuate, which Nemes had already prepared in advance.

As the battle began, aside from Becky and Op, who had only provided some assistance and then remained silent, the others had been waiting on the sidelines for quite some time.

Layer upon layer of sealing arrays, nested within a special spatial structure.

This is the result of their work during this period.

Medium- to long-distance space teleportation device.

then……

As the sky shattered, the next moment was filled with the roar of a teenager and the dazzling golden light that burst forth.

The space rippled slightly, reflecting in mid-air the image of the injured Nemus disappearing with his subordinates.

Chapter 288 The Church Needs This Kind of Personnel

The clergy who were outside were also taken aback when they saw this, but they still recorded the scene reflected in space.

They then rushed into the church district and found that it had been almost completely destroyed, with hardly any architectural remains left.

First, there was a huge circular crater, followed by a large amount of seawater, and corpses and unconscious people lying everywhere.

There were signs of battle everywhere.

Some priests who weren't very strong even felt dizzy when they first entered.

They later discovered that the element concentration in this place was too high.

So much so that their not-so-strong bodies couldn't withstand it and experienced an oxygen-induced intoxication reaction.

Realizing this, the less capable clergy quickly withdrew, allowing those with slightly more strength to investigate.

However, after using their divine magic to revive some people, the news they received shocked them greatly.

Before they could even think about it...

Soon, the oppressive aura of the Golden Seed arrived.

And this time it's not just one golden seed, but two.

Two different factions of the Golden Seed, Gilliman and Gotthard, arrived here at the same time.

Judging from their speed, they shouldn't be too far from Baiwei Town. They rushed over here almost immediately after the matter was over.

They also brought with them a large number of steel-type clergy.

Their strong support instantly accelerated the rescue progress.

All the individuals who were still alive and had the potential to be saved were rescued.

The remaining bodies were also collected and disposed of.

Subsequently, all relevant personnel were detained, and no related information was allowed to be leaked.

As the person who had woken up recounted what they had seen and heard, both Killieman and Gotthard's expressions turned grim.

Neither Killieman nor Gotthard ever truly thought highly of Nems.

In their understanding, Nems was of limited ability and was essentially a pawn in their game of power and a means to resolve church issues.

However, it was this very piece that caused them to suffer such a great loss.

Rhine died, Parson of the great noble Levin family died, Isabella from the mysterious family died, and a noble family of holy blood was wiped out.

A large number of church members died.

The last time the church suffered such a great loss was decades ago during the Gemini Demons.

And all of this was done by Nems, whom they considered unqualified.

This was like a heavy punch to their faces.

More importantly, Nems managed to escape.

The sacred wish ritual, which was thought to be sure to succeed by combining the bloodline of Niton, failed inexplicably.

Given how things have turned out, even they will likely face accountability from the church.

"Nemus... Nemus!" However, as Gold Saints, they still maintained their composure.

Killieman kept repeating the name, and then gradually learned some of the background information.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Gotthard.

"He seemed to be the rising star of your ruling faction, right?" As golden beings, their thinking speed and memory are extraordinary, and they can easily recall various information from the past.

Nemus, as a former genius paladin, is quite famous.

Just when they were at the crucial stage of advancing to the Gold rank, they inexplicably disappeared without a trace.

As a result, many people speculated that Nems was too ashamed to face anyone because his promotion path was blocked.

Even the An family temporarily cut off contact with the outside world after that and stopped attending various aristocratic banquets.

"So that's why we suddenly lost contact. Turns out she was turned into a prayer angel." Guilliman glanced at Gotthard to the side.

He knows this person best.

Gotthard appears to be very approachable, as if he has no airs at all, and can talk to anyone on an equal footing.

However, Gotthard was actually the most arrogant person.

He treats everyone equally because he arrogantly believes that no one else, regardless of their status, can compare to him.

If that's the case, then everyone can be treated equally.

It was this arrogance that caused him to erupt into a terrifying rage when he encountered real provocation.

“Nemes, I didn’t pay much attention back then.” Gotthard’s face remained expressionless, but this very lack of expression contradicted his usual affable demeanor and instead revealed his unusual state.

"However, judging from his ability to transform from a prayer angel into a demon, it seems he has some understanding of the Abyss War," Gotthard said. For the upper echelons of the church, apart from some saints and some immortals, their status is the most noble, so they are actually aware of all kinds of information.

The church's problems did not begin just after the Battle of the Abyss four years ago; the church began to differ from what it was hundreds of years ago long before.

If it were a hundred or two hundred years ago, Nemus would most likely not have been made into a prayer angel.

Unfortunately, Nemes was born in the wrong era, and his disrespect for God was far too obvious.

Back then, Nems had a strong sense of confidence that he would change the world and that he was the master of world trends.

This cooperation, which he intentionally or unintentionally conveyed some ideas, aroused suspicion from all sides.

If Nemus were weaker, it would be fine, but he only took a little over twenty years to grow into the best of the Iron type and begin preparing to advance to Gold.

This qualification is terrifying.

That's why we have the current outcome.

Gotthard didn't say these things directly, but when he mentioned the Battle of the Abyss, Guilliman stopped bringing it up to mock Gotthard.

He understood the meaning behind those words.

The war in the abyss is not something that can be started immediately.

There must have been a lot of preparation beforehand.

Even the Holy Son Project can be considered as pre-planning.

Nemes is known as the Prayer Angel, which can also be considered a form of preparation.

When it comes to God's overall strategy and direction, finding fault with it is pointless.

"Has the condition of the Holy Son Naim been checked?" Gotthard asked.

He had met the Holy Son once before and believed that the Holy Son's inability to ascend to sainthood was a waste of resources.

However, this idea is no longer very effective now.

“There’s no problem,” Killieman said. Although they belong to different factions, this kind of information still needs to be shared.

“He used the Dartmenley family’s holy blood potion, so his holy power was transformed into another state.”

"In addition, there are historical fluctuations within his body, making him almost a legendary species."

"What do we do?" Gotthard stood up and gazed into the distance.

“The church needs talent now, especially talent that can quickly form combat power,” Guilliman gave his answer, and Gotthard nodded in agreement.

Chapter 289 Renaming

When Nemes 'woke up,' he was already in a makeshift hospital room in the North District.

There were no guards around him, and the furnishings in the room weren't too bad, so he probably wasn't being held in captivity.
