Devil's Bible

Chapter 290 Testing the Waters (Bonus Chapter 210)

The Holy Son's mental state was very simple.

In this situation, if we follow Killieman's advice and choose to abandon the Dartmanley family name and, most importantly, its core heritage, then...

Therefore, this idea must be problematic.

The previous conversations and some of the questions asked during the process were actually a covert assessment of whether Nemus's way of thinking was in line with the Holy Son.

After all, they had already misjudged Nemes once before.

At that time, Nemus had taken over Nair's identity, and his thinking, mentality, and cognition were different from Nair's when he reported his family and was banished to the Backfin Village.

They were just too confident, believing that Niall had only grown in the last few years and had become different as his saintly nature awakened.

Now that they are facing the Holy Son, they will naturally not be so careless.

Although everything made sense, and they even found several clergy members who were not completely unconscious and witnessed the aftermath, thus confirming the authenticity of the events.

However, we still need to be vigilant.

They have secretly hired a golden-race pastor.

With the investigative abilities of the Golden Seed priests, there are few anomalies in this world that can escape their detection, not even the slightest problem with the soul.

At this moment, Nemus was also thinking about his hidden problems.

Those who didn't completely faint were arranged by Nems to see hallucinations in their dazed state, thus making things seem more real.

Killman did not continue to see Nems, who was later sent back to the ward where he had woken up.

"Next, it will most likely be the Golden Seed Priests' reconnaissance," Nemus thought, but he wasn't worried.

So what if he's a Golden Seed Priest? The Aro Realm even broke into his soul space back then. If Nemus's true form hadn't shown up on its own, the Aro Realm wouldn't have been able to discover Nemus's existence.

Nemus was sacrificed to the gods, and even the gods misjudged him.

Of course, the abyss was right.

Even now, Nems can't help but marvel at how critical the situation was.

In the battle between the God of Discipline and the Abyss, although he was a Prayer Angel, he was merely a higher-ranking cannon fodder in that battle.

In those circumstances, many prayer angels also died.

Nems was not confident that he could break free from the control of the God of Discipline; even if his true spirit escaped, he might not be safe and sound.

Then, Nemus received a message from the will of the abyss.

His thoughts quickly settled, and Nemes's soul became calm. Then Gotthard knocked on the door and brought in his female pastor, Amy, who was carrying a book.

"Are you here to kill me this time?" Nemus asked after a slight pause.

“No, from your perspective, the Holy Son Project has already failed.” Gotthard’s gaze remained unchanged, his inner thoughts hidden.

Clearly, this is the second test.

The fact that Gotthard had secretly met the Son of God was something that almost no one except Gotthard himself knew, especially their conversation.

Even Nems hadn't fully anticipated this.

What enabled him to understand all of this was some information left in the new body of the Holy Son.

The Holy Son foresaw something in the end, and in that situation, he chose to help Nemus.

The objective was very clear: he had failed to fulfill Dartmanley's expectations, so Nemes would have to do it.

After all, all Dartmanley wanted was for his family's legacy to continue.

And it must be said, this is also ironic.

While most of the family members were still alive, Dartmanley invited Nems to return to the family three times, but Nems refused each time.

However, when the Dartmenley family was virtually wiped out, leaving only an empty shell of a Holy Son, Nemus chose to agree. Gotthard and Nemus discussed largely the same things, both inquiring about specific details.

However, during this process, Gotthard paid more attention to some details that Nemes displayed.

He inquired in detail about Nemus's abilities during the battle and how he felt after the fight.

Nemes assessed his current perception and then gave a roughly correct but somewhat vague answer.

After that, Gotthard left.

On the second day, Nemus met the third and fourth Golden Seeds.

They summoned Nems along with Guilliman and Gotthard.

One of them was the golden-type priest that Nemes had predicted.

Parts of the other person's skin were shimmering at that moment, as if they could transform into some kind of element at any moment.

This is why the Golden Seed pastors don't often go out and about.

Their bodies are gradually becoming unable to withstand their mental power, resulting in some special changes.

Before this change ends, the regular combat strength of the Gold-type Priests is far inferior to that of Paladins of the same level.

As for the last golden one, he had a sour face at the moment, as if his son had died.

Therefore, Nems roughly guessed his true identity.

The Levin family's golden scion who works outside the family, Parsons' father.

His son really died.

He stood silently to the side, and then the Golden Seed priest officially began the interrogation.

"I apologize, but my mental energy will invade your body to some extent. This is to ensure you don't lie. I hope you don't mind," said the priest, who looked quite young.

“Oh, by the way, my name is Clement Cross.” As he spoke, a powerful surge of mental energy pierced into Nemus’s body.

In an instant, Nemus knew that this golden-race priest named Clement was no ordinary man.

The opponent's mental energy possesses a reading quality, making them extremely adept at probing.

Clement then began asking questions, one by one, the same questions that Guilliman and the others had asked before.

Nemes answered them all seriously.

When it came to the point where he had defeated the enemy and Nemus had escaped using the Oath Rope, Clement seemed to have noticed something, and his mental energy suddenly fluctuated.

The Levin family's golden seed, who had been silent all along, suddenly released his golden aura at this moment, pressing down on Nemus.

Then Killieman and Gotthard followed.

"You're lying! Who are you? And where did your historical number come from?" The furious question was like a sharp blade piercing through him at that moment.

However, faced with this situation, Nemus simply frowned and looked at the four Golden Seeds with some confusion.

The legendary aura that belonged to a legendary species manifested itself at this moment.

Although this aura was weak, it withstood the golden pressure of the four Golden Seeds with remarkable resilience.

“Everything I’m saying is true,” Nems simply said.

At that moment, the four golden pressures dissipated.

Nems received apologies from Guilliman and Clement.

Gotthard shook his head without saying anything, while the golden-blooded Levin snorted and left.
