Devil's Bible

As things stand, Nemus isn't actually that far from becoming a Saint.

Once Nemus has corrected his own numerical deficiencies, he can then initiate the Saint Transformation, and he will be close to becoming a true Saint.

Therefore, changes in strength, though important, are not of concern to them.

Their focus was on the identity of the saint.

Saints are God's spokespeople, yet now a 'spokesperson' has been born without God's approval.

Anyone with a little foresight can see the trouble that lies within.

Programs often require correctness, and incorrectness can lead to countless problems.

Many people think that rules are stupid and inflexible, but if these rules were not stupid, it would be too easy for people with power to 'flex' them.

The same is true now; these people are the most powerful.

If today Nemus purifies the holy power within himself and becomes a saint in this way, without needing divine certification.

Given their power, countless 'holy sons' similar to the Holy Son will be born next.

If anyone could reach what Nemes has achieved, then there would be a lot to be done about it.

"The problem is that his characteristics dictate that he will inevitably achieve many great feats."

“But to have merits but not be given status is also a disaster,” the cardinal in red robes said. “Those little fellows have been scheming and plotting all this time, and their actions are breaking the rules.”

"Why? It's because their abilities and achievements are insufficient!"

This period of time has been incredibly annoying for him. He's seen and used every trick in those people's hands before.

Those people boast of their exceptional shrewdness, but haven't they all been there before?

The more you scheme, the further you stray from the key to success.

"They've become obsessed with the position of pivot."

“If we give them the chance now, let alone kill Nemus, they might do the same even if I were standing right in front of them.”

Over the years, everyone has become somewhat obsessed.

A century ago, the God of Discipline decided to wage war against the Abyss, bringing new changes to the various church conflicts that had already arisen from the infiltration of the floating whale.

And it erupted completely after the failure four years ago.

With public sentiment in turmoil, the power struggles between various factions began to deteriorate from a state of constant conflict without actual confrontation.

The previous struggles between Guilliman and Gotthard could be considered benign, while the struggles in other places had even cost several of the Golden Seeds their lives.

Furthermore, people are placing increasing importance on practical benefits, while faith, which was once extremely important, has become insignificant.

Few people today fully adhere to the major doctrines and precepts of the church.

If someone suddenly arrives at the territory of the Discipline Church and, without going to the church to confirm, merely observes the people's lives, it would be difficult for them to recognize in a short time that the faith of the God of Discipline is followed here.

This change was particularly clear to these old folks who had lived for thousands of years.

Previously, there had been various struggles and conspiracies regarding the position of the pivot, but none had ever gone this far.

Furthermore, at that time, their scheming and plotting were based on ability and merit.

But these successors have put the cart before the horse, as if all they know is scheming.

The unease brought about by this change has led several cardinals to seek some changes as well.

In their view, Nemes seemed to be a very suitable weather vane.

Promoting the canonization of Nemes might change some aspects of the church's atmosphere.

“As a legendary being, he might be able to reform the church,” another cardinal bishop, whose entire body was covered in white hair, suddenly spoke up, though his words were even more radical.

They all knew that the church's doctrines and rules, which had been in place for a thousand years, were becoming increasingly unsuitable for the current environment.

A large-scale 'holy vow' may be inevitable. "Directly designate him as a reserve cardinal to motivate those less capable little ones."

"With the abilities of a legendary species, these scheming little guys can easily reap what they sow."

"Then select the capable ones from among them."

"Use this as an opportunity to carry out reforms..."

“I disagree,” the Cardinal, whose head was made of blue flame, immediately objected.

“What the church needs now is stability.” He said seriously, “I believe that although I don’t blame Nemus for the fall of Azure Sky this time, he does bear some responsibility as the Grand Master of Azure Sky.”

"Why don't we let him go and bring back the Azure Whale!"

"Involving mythical creatures? Are you planning to treat him as a disposable product?" the red-clad mechanic immediately retorted.

“Jeff and the others already exhausted the power of the legendary species by going into the abyss before, and now you’re coming too.”

"Do you want to ruin all the talented people in the church before you feel at ease?"

Everyone's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.

There is currently no teleportation array that leads directly to the Azure Whale.

So how do you get to the Azure Whale? First, go to the nearby Floating Whale, and then fly there.

During this process, the presence of life can trigger geological disasters.

This is quite different from flying on the back of a whale.

Flying on the back of a whale at most attracts some dangerous creatures.

However, crossing the floating whale and truly flying on the earth attracts all sorts of calamistic creatures.

The dangers and problems encountered in this process could even harm a saint.

By having Nemus use the characteristics of a legendary species to complete the task, the goal is basically to use up all of Nemus in one go.

The legendary characteristics of legendary species also require positive feedback.

However, simply flying across the land will not provide any positive feedback; it will only deplete the legendary species' power.

"Alright..." The Pope quickly interrupted the argument when he saw that it was about to start again.

If the argument continues, it will just become a tug-of-war between the two sides, with each pointing out the other's problems.

"Whether Nems becomes a saint or stays here as a reserve for the Cardinal, it will sow the seeds of disaster."

"But there are indeed some things that are not going well within the church as well."

"How about this, let's organize a team."

"Let them work together to solve the current problems of the Azure Whale."

"Nems was included in it."

"If Nemus can successfully resolve the Azure Whale problem, he will be promoted directly to Cardinal Bishop, just like Galis."

"Of course, if others disagree, they can also join this team."

“If he can outperform Nemes in this matter, then he should also be prepared to be promoted to Cardinal Bishop.”

Clearly, Nemes is now a knife in the Pope's hand, a knife meant to sting those in the upper echelons of the Church who are increasingly focused on intrigue and scheming.

Let them roll up under Nems's provocation.

At the same time, it also requires them to contribute some of their personal savings.

For example, as far as he knew, the kid who was jumping the most around owned a Source Whale Bone Ship. (End of Chapter)
