Devil's Bible

Chapter 154 Scheming for the Holy Son
Swords flashed, and the wind murmured softly.

Datmenli's sword strike contained immense power, colliding with the wind.

As the energy surged, the entire night in Baiwei Town was illuminated.

As the light faded and people's eyes adjusted to the environment, they realized that Nemus had sheathed his sword.

Datmenley, however, showed a hint of bewilderment on his resolute face.

Then his body slowly collapsed, a sword wound appearing on his body, and a large amount of blood was blown by the wind, merging into the night.

"How exactly did I lose?" After the anger came confusion. Three days later, Datmenley looked at Daros, who had been released, and still couldn't figure out the question.

But then, more questions arose in my mind: "What exactly does Niall want to do?"

In a duel, even if Nemus had killed him that day, it would have been the 'right' action.

However, after his sword strike was inexplicably broken that day, slicing off half of his own house's roof, Nemus did not finish him off despite his serious injuries, but instead chose to end the duel.

After winning the duel, Nemus did not make any other demands, only saying that he would completely sever ties with the Dartmenley family.

Nemes then prepared to leave, and as he passed Dartmenley, he whispered that he would release Daros and that they were welcome to continue causing him trouble.

This is why Datmenley looked so grim when he saw Daros being released.

Because Nemes was displaying utter contempt for the Dartmenley family.

Even so, they had no other options.

Nems utterly defeated them.

At this moment, Dartmanley could sense that the atmosphere in the entire family was extremely low.

Next, if the family does not see any improvement, it will likely begin to decline rapidly, and the members will scatter as morale rises.

He has two choices.

Next, they did nothing more but began to appease people and then used the family's resources to cultivate family members.

Wait a few decades until someone in the family can break through those 'obstacles' and become a golden seed, then take another big gamble, betting the whole family on it, and let the other person find an opportunity to ascend to the golden position.

Or perhaps we should gamble on the present moment, with Cecilia as a semi-finished gold elixir and Nell as a candidate to become a true gold elixir.

By combining the power of these people and using holy blood to fully awaken one's saintly essence, one will have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Seed level.

So which one should we choose?
Dartmanley was originally determined to choose the latter option. He was well aware of his family's predicament and knew that the longer the situation dragged on, the more serious the family's problems would become.

As the bloodline of saints diminishes with each generation, those obstacles do not disappear, and the probability of a genius emerging within a family will become increasingly lower.

Choosing to wait is nothing but a slow death; only by fighting now can we seize the last glimmer of hope.

But that glimmer of hope, at this moment, seemed to appear and disappear in the shadow of Nems.

He waved for his family members to disperse and continued with his own business.

Datmenley was caught in a dilemma, but after some time, Daros suddenly found him.

Because of Nemus's previous 'deal', although he didn't intend to completely abide by it, he still went to investigate the belongings left by Nemus's parents.

Perhaps we can discover Naim's true purpose.

Then, he found something rather unusual among them. "Patriarch, take a look!" Daros pulled out a document, his expression revealing a hint of excitement.

Dartmanley casually took the documents. They had already read through the things Ron had left behind countless times and were very familiar with their contents.

He didn't think he could find anything new in it.

Although Daros failed this time, he is still a relatively reliable member of the family. His excitement might mean he has actually discovered something.

Datmenley flipped through the documents and quickly found the part that excited Daros, which Daros had deliberately marked.

That's the part related to the Holy Son Project.

The old pastor and others used the blood of several saints as a reference to cultivate artificial embryos, intending to create a holy child.

In fact, Cecilia was an individual they created with this in mind.

However, judging from all the circumstances, Cecilia can only be considered a half-success.

“Master, you probably already thought of it. The old priest also conducted an experiment in the backfin village,” Daros reminded him from the side, and Dartmenley’s thoughts were instantly opened.

They knew far more about the Holy Son Project than Nems did. The reason they hadn't thought of it before was simply because they were too familiar with it and had fallen into a fixed mindset.

Revisiting these materials now immediately leads to new discoveries.

“Mount Dorsal Fin, if the Holy Son created by the old priest exists, then he must be on Mount Dorsal Fin!” Dartmanley himself also knew some alchemy, and immediately obtained the relevant information and made an accurate judgment.

“Before the Holy Son is truly fully developed, it needs a huge amount of nutrients, and right now only the floating whale can provide these nutrients.”

When nurturing Cecilia, they did not strictly follow the procedures for nurturing the Holy Son, because it was too expensive, and there were some things they could not afford to prepare.

Unless they resort to illegal means, like the old pastor, to cut a hole in the dorsal fin mountain and then fleece the floating whales.

The problem is that the unique nature of their families makes it difficult for them to do these things outside of their own families.

“In this situation, the Holy Son created by the old priest is most likely still on Mount Dorsal Fin!” Dartmenley suddenly became excited.

He knew all too well the true power of the Holy Son.

The old pastor began leading the Son of God program forty years ago, but it was interrupted twenty years ago.

During the twenty years of church-led experiments, no one but the church knows exactly how many children were created.

Some of these holy children died young due to problems caused by the experiments, but some of them entered the church and quickly demonstrated terrifying talent.

They may have some problems, or their minds may be somewhat impaired due to the experiment.

However, none of this can be denied that it brought the church a group of talented individuals.

If the newest Holy Son truly resides in the Backfin Mountain, then there is a very high probability that he is a descendant of the Dartmenley family.

After all, they had provided a large amount of holy blood back then because of Ron.

After the old priest was eliminated and left Qiquan City, the only Holy Blood he could obtain was likely from the Dartmenley family.

After all, other saintly bloodlines are not as destitute as they are.

Even if they aren't, they can still be included in the family, as long as they can bear the family's name!
