Devil's Bible

Chapter 289 Name Change
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.

Seeing this, Nems knew he had succeeded.

With the life form he had created, it would have been far too easy for him to impersonate the Holy Son Naim.

And throughout the entire process, he didn't need to lie; he only needed to slightly alter the outcome of the final battle to completely clear his name.

Judging from his treatment, it is clear that his value has already been recognized by people like Guilliman.

With the fictitious Protocol Nems outside acting as a diversionary force, I estimate that I will be reused once I am confirmed to be safe.

That day is not far off. In the process, there may be some tests, and the church will not open up its authority to us too quickly.

But it's much better than entering the church's upper echelons as Nair.

Furthermore, since Nems is still active outside, he can completely make Nems his enemy and then quickly establish his own position in this mutual conflict.

In turbulent times with external enemies, advancement in status and authority is fastest.

Everything happened so naturally.

The only trouble might be that I haven't immediately completed the advancement to a legendary species, which might attract some attention.

For example, the Levin family could easily use Parsons' death as an excuse to cause trouble.

But that doesn't matter.

The same logic applies: the real culprit, Nemus, is still out there. If you want revenge, go find Nemus. What does it have to do with his holy son, Nemus?
Furthermore, Nems had complete faith that Guilliman would handle these matters well.

I am now a semi-legendary talent capable of becoming a saint, and if needed, I can be promoted to a high-value talent with high combat power within a few months.

The church may tempt you in secret, but on the surface, it will definitely try to win you over and treat you kindly.

I don't need to worry about those problems at all.

As Nemus woke up, there was a knock on the door.

The person who came was very methodical.

The identity of this tin can is now quite clear—another failed holy son.

"Naimu?"

“If you like, call me Nemus,” Nemus said at this moment.

This answer made Yibanyi stop in his tracks, staring coldly at Naimus.

“It’s just that the pronunciation is similar.” A hint of sadness flashed across Nemus’s face as he explained to the other person, “Nemus is nameless, something indescribable, nameless.”

"And my Nemes is names, a plural name, just to commemorate some people, and also to remind myself that the enemy Nemes is still out there."

As Nemus gave this explanation, although his rigid manner remained unchanged, one could sense a shift in his gaze; it was no longer so cold.

"Come with me." She said, turning around and leading the way.

Naims followed behind and could see from afar that the church district had been sealed off.

When they arrived nearby, they were also stopped.

However, they were only allowed in after they presented their credentials in a very formal manner.

Soon, Nems met Guilliman.

He was looking at lists, and Nems noticed a corner drooping down—the list of the dead. Guilliman looked up at Nems, then began to ask him questions in a calm but weary voice.

Nemes didn't hide anything. When talking about Dartment, Nemes didn't reveal Dartment's plans, but he didn't deliberately conceal them either.

The Church sees through these subtle maneuvers. As long as the Holy Son Nemus has sufficient value, these issues will be forgotten with the passing of the rest of the Dartmenley family.

After all, he was a noble of holy blood. Although he committed a great sin, the main issue was the face of the church.

Once the church loses face, sin can be ignored in the face of self-interest.

Besides, Nemes hasn't yet taken over the name Dartmanley.

As Nemus recounted some details, such as Nemus launching a fatal attack on Rhine, and then White appeared and took a sword for Rhine.

He could clearly sense that the reserved and meticulous person behind him had become somewhat fluctuating in his emotions.

When Rhine was also killed, and he poured his last bit of spiritual power into the Water and Fire Angels, his rigid emotions began to change slightly.

This change became exceptionally clear to Nemus at this moment.

Just like Isabella before him, and compared to Isabella, he can also perceive the dynamic changes of the floating whale to a certain extent.

"You mean, Nemus finally used some kind of rope-like thing to break free from the time vortex."

“That’s right.” Nems nodded and offered another possibility: “The moment the rope appeared, Nems was pulled to his men and then killed the middle-aged man with the gunsword who had come with Rhine.”

"Then they used some kind of spatial teleportation array and left directly."

“I didn’t have enough time to become a saint at the time, so it was already difficult to catch up.” After Nemes finished speaking, Guilliman nodded.

Nems's words were correct and largely consistent with their findings.

Furthermore, aside from the latter part, the preceding content is highly consistent with the testimonies of other clergy members, and includes many more details.

These details all prove that there is no major problem with the statement.

"I heard you want to change your name to Nemes?" After confirming that there were no problems with the statement, Killieman then posed the question to this sensitive point.

After all, Naim's original name was similar to Naim's, and now it has to be changed to one with a similar pronunciation.

Although some differences can still be distinguished by pronunciation, Nems has only just begun to do these things.

“I just want to commemorate those who sacrificed themselves for me,” Nemus said earnestly.

“You want to inherit the Dartmenley family, right?” Killieman pointed out the crux of the matter.

"You should already know that there are some problems with Dartmenley's bloodline."

"Now that the other Dartmenli bloodlines have disappeared, those problems have temporarily disappeared as well."

“The historical number within you can suppress those things, but it may still cause some problems in the future.” Guilliman did not explicitly state many things.

The church was aware of Dartment's situation to some extent, but there wasn't much they could do.

“My suggestion is that you change your surname to something similar, establish a similar family, and inherit part of the family’s heritage. That would be enough.”

Nemes shook his head: "I will not establish the Dartmenley family for the time being, but I will not give up the name or the family's sacred objects."

“Sigh.” Killieman sighed and said helplessly, “Whatever.”

At this point, Nems also realized that he had passed the first wave of probing.
