It didn't take long for Nems's value to rise to one thousand.
The first mission I went on after that was to go straight to the Abyss.
Although Nemus had some knowledge of the divine realm, it wasn't much.
Normally, the angels and the prayer angels are mostly in standby mode, and Nemus doesn't really know much about the difference between the Golden Seeds and the Saints.
Nemus took the silver blood again, barely sensing it before his body returned to its original state.
The Holy Son had also arrived not far from Nemus.
He raised the sword in his hand, and in his other hand, energy surged, and Nemus's Sword of Fortune was fully formed.
"Your use of Qi is too rigid. If you do it like this, you'll lose the advantage of Qi Sword's versatility," Nemus said, offering a word of advice.
But the sword in his hand did not stop; it stabbed down towards Isabella.
However, this time it was blocked by the sword in the Holy Son's hand that pierced through space.
Nemus's eyes flickered slightly, and in the next instant, the blades clashed several times.
In the state of sainthood, the power of the holy son becomes stronger and more terrifying, and most importantly, his learning and insight abilities become more and more profound.
Nemes estimated that after some time, the Holy Son's swordsmanship might surpass his own, and he would then develop his own unique swordsmanship.
His sensitivity to power had surpassed that of his opponent.
This is the effect of combining talent and skill level.
This is precisely where Nemus's talent lies, and now the Holy Son has caught up with him.
Nemus currently only has a slight advantage in swordsmanship. Although he can still suppress the Holy Son to some extent, winning will not be so easy.
And during this process, Nemus discovered that the Holy Son's sword was very heavy.
Despite having an absolute advantage in stats, he felt his power was being suppressed when facing the Holy Son.
And it can be confirmed that the Holy Son is still growing stronger!
Nemus returned to his original position once again, and the Holy Son's sword was already in front of him.
The moment the sword made contact with his hand, the Holy Son sensed something was amiss.
Because his sword of energy melted instantly.
Chapter 283 It is an honor, Lord Nemus!
"Don't use other people's swordsmanship recklessly, especially when it comes to using special powers that are designed for practice!"
Nemus wanted to use the Sword of Destiny to gather the wisdom of all swordsmen in the world, so he naturally couldn't expect to create a large sect, teach swordsmanship, wait for his apprentices to grow up, and then return to give back.
In this very aspect, Nemus's Sword of Fortune is adept.
Operations are one of the fundamental rules governing the world, and there is no such thing as copyright.
However, the Sword of Fortune was developed exclusively by Nemus and bears Nemus's strong personal imprint.
Under the influence of luck, anyone who cultivates the Sword of Luck will develop an unbreakable connection with Nemus.
Nemus plans to gradually incorporate his deeper understanding of luck into the upcoming Sword of Luck.
When others cultivate the Sword of Destiny, their insights will be harvested by Nemus through these connections.
This feature might be a bit complicated, but with experience in developing Soul Accessories and Berserk Accessories, and after acquiring sufficient knowledge related to the game, successful development should only be a matter of time.
At this moment, although wisdom cannot be directly harvested, it is possible to seize control of the Qi Sword by mastering the luck and taking advantage of the natural connection of luck.
The same is probably true for the Polaris Sword. The Polaris Sword Saint himself may not have used such convenient power, but he may have left many loopholes in the Polaris Sword Technique.
If someone were to actually use the Polaris Sword in front of him, they would most likely die a horrible death.
With a swift slash, the blade sliced across the Holy Son's slightly tilted-back neck, leaving a gaping wound.
However, Nems did not let his guard down for a moment.
Because at this moment, not a drop of blood was flowing from the gash in the Holy Son's neck.
That terrifying gash healed rapidly in less than a second.
This is not a special characteristic, but rather a powerful life force that automatically completes its self-healing process.
This situation is unparalleled, even by the highest quality gold.
Even the "golden seed" only refers to the loss of conventionally fatal parts, such as the loss of the heart, which is considered a serious injury.
Nemus's sword fell immediately afterward, but the water and fire clashed.
The water and fire angels left behind by Rhine quickly moved closer to the Holy Son. The two golden creatures, together with the equally golden Holy Son, made the Holy Son appear even more holy.
On the contrary, the situation of Nemus's Dark Gold Wing, like that of a fallen angel, presents a stark contrast.
“Nem’s transformation into a saint has a time limit, but I won’t last that long. Before that time, he will evolve to a state that I can’t handle.”
"And the most troublesome thing is the time vortex, which leaves me with less and less time."
Naim calculated that he would complete one rotation in just two seconds.
Furthermore, the time reduction in each round is increasing, and I will soon be trapped in absolute time standstill.
I am getting weaker, while my enemy is getting stronger.
Nems was in a truly desperate situation.
Once again, they were back at the starting point, facing an attack from the Holy Son and a combined assault from the Water and Fire Angels behind them.
All around is the flood of time.
Nemus's earlobe trembled slightly; he seemed to sense something was amiss.
Some beings from the outside world, deeply connected to themselves, yet unaffected by the vortex of time, are undergoing changes.
Far away, Kluge had completed his personal growth and defeated Heisenberg.
"The Rope of Oath!" The rope behind Nemus changed.
A special rope covered in scales emerged faintly from behind Nemus.
The rope of oath is the best tool for Nemus to connect with the contract.
It provided the connections between the various members and organizations under Nemes's command.
At this moment, with the help of the Oath Rope, Nemus seemed to be breaking free from the vortex of time.
"Not enough!"
Nemus's sword energy shifted as he used the remaining time to fight the Holy Son.
Time resets, and Nemus returns to the original location.
The water and fire angels had already surged over, and a brief moment of humanity appeared in their eyes.
The will of the Rhine shines within it.
Then the water and fire angels collided one after the other at that moment.
The elements of water and fire reacted violently at this moment, and their divine properties surged wildly.
At this moment, Nemus no longer had the advantage in controlling the Holy attribute.
He used his sword to transform between water and fire, rushed to Isabella's side, and drew her blood with his sword.
Meanwhile, the Holy Son stretched out his hand, and a golden sword appeared in his hand.
Having learned from his previous mistakes, the Holy Son no longer used the Sword of Fortune or the Sword of Polaris, but instead used his own unique swordsmanship.
Instead of choosing too many scarce elements, he directly borrowed the sacred attribute that he was most familiar with at this moment.
A sword formed from sacred essence.
It doesn't have any other fancy features, and for that reason, this sacred sword doesn't require much effort to study.
It has only two extremely simple elements—divinity and power!
Under the power of water and fire, the sword seemed to be tempered, and it was aimed at the position where Nemus was about to return to the origin.
Based on the level of refinement of the divine attributes mentioned above, Nemus was certain that once this sword pierced his body...
Then one's soul will inevitably be severely damaged, and one might even die as a result.
The fact that the soul came from another world only made his true spirit harder to detect due to its structure.
If one is severely injured by this intense divine attribute, one will die.
It was at this moment that Nemus sensed the response from the Oath Rope.
At the same time, the qualities that Nemus stored in his divinity also changed rapidly.
At this moment, Nemus had a choice: to use the qualities stored within his divine essence to connect with a small amount of the time element.
Then one might be able to solidify into something connected to time, helping oneself to break free from the vortex of time.
"Is this enough?" Nemus could feel the power of time.
If it's just a matter of slightly touching on time and then creating some related characteristics, then I might as well have just killed Isabella from the start.
Death is imminent. According to calculations, in a fraction of a second, I will return to the starting point, face the Holy Sword, face death, and face the end.
At this moment, the rope of oath also received power from the other side.
The main source of power is Kru.
As a twin demon, Kru gave Nemus a feeling that he was in both places at the same time.
"Kru, wanna take a gamble with me?"
"It would be an honor, Lord Nemus!" The answer was direct and affirmative, without asking for a reason or hesitating.
Then act according to Nemes's instructions.
The next moment, Nemus uttered a heartfelt prayer: "From this day forward, I will no longer forgive; my wrath will burn away those who do not deserve my forgiveness!"
The precept of forgiveness thus collapsed.
Chapter 284 I have grasped the changes of time and taken the reins of fate.
All the traits gained from the discipline feedback shattered at this moment, but these shattered traits did not disappear immediately.
Instead, it transformed into a feedback force that rushed into Nemus's body.
Nems's demeanor also changed dramatically at this moment.
Obeying precepts grants power; what about breaking them?
Why would keeping the precepts receive feedback due to the operation of divinity?
Nemus had been studying divinity and precepts.
The answer I came up with is one that I'm unsure if it's accurate.
The number of things in this world is finite, and this number is reflected not only in the number of ordinary things, but also in the way the world works.
Discipline, very likely, is about following certain rules and giving up what one should have, thereby obtaining other elements to supplement the workings of the world.
Therefore, keeping or breaking the precepts is merely a matter of utilizing these numbers.
The difference lies in the fact that the divine nature of discipline itself can utilize the feedback from keeping the precepts.
Since the changes in numbers after breaking the rules cannot be utilized, these powers are like demons who cannot refine their souls to acquire numbers and complete their advancement; they can only serve as temporary power.
The collapse of one side of the precepts within the divinity also affected the normal operation of the other side of the precepts.
The oath rope, which possessed life-like characteristics and was covered in scales, began to temporarily degenerate, first into a thread, then a thin rope... step by step, it degenerated into the original hemp rope.
As a result, Nemus's original interference with the time vortex using the Oath Rope went wrong, and without the pull, he appeared at the origin point even faster.
This was exactly what Nems had anticipated.
This slight time difference gave Nems a chance.
The advance notice gave Nems time to prepare.
The Sword of Fortune appeared, and the power of feedback surged in.
Sword of Fortune - Rise with the Wind!
