I Knew It Was You, Hidan!

Kamizuki Simu had gone to all this trouble, and naturally, it wasn't just to install an automatic connection system for Hidan.

After three months of continuous analysis and evolution, he had carried out a major upgrade on all the Jashin Race variants he had mastered.

He had even found the time to create several new species.

[Jashin-sama's Raising Game]

[Host]: A Blood Pool named Kamizuki Simu

[Level]: 1 (Next level requires 2000 Reputation)

Note: The host's mental power will increase as the level rises.

[Jashin Reputation]: 771

[Ability 1]:

[Womb of the Primordial Creator]

[Gene Pool]: Ordinary Human Gene, Leaf-Cutter Mantis Gene, Giant Centipede Gene, Giant Man-Eating Spider Gene.

[Gene Currently Being Analyzed]: Jashin Gene (Analysis progress 0.01%)

[Producible Species]: Weihe: Centipede, Koukaku: Spider, Rinkaku: Mantis, Koukaku: Ant-Man, Human Clone, Raven, Black Beetle.

[Ability 2]:

[Blessing of Jashin]: Your body is blessed by Jashin; you will possess an Immortal Body until Jashin falls.

[Introduction]: I want to create a world that belongs to Jashin-sama!

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the Jashin Cult's reputation had successfully reached 771, still over twelve hundred points away from the next level of 2000.

As for the three initial Kagune—the Weihe: Centipede, Koukaku: Spider, and Rinkaku: Mantis—they had all been strengthened by Simu.

The Centipede had its length and exoskeleton density significantly reinforced; the current Weihe: Centipede had an attack range extended to ten meters, and its exoskeleton was as strong as steel, coated with a massive amount of potent venom.

Once an enemy was cut, the large quantity of toxin contained within would cause them to lose their life within three minutes.

The Koukaku: Spider had been updated to a new version, specifically Hidan's Parasitic Spider, which allowed the host to gain the ability to fire spider silk from various parts of their body.

The Rinkaku: Mantis had its limbs sharpened and its speed increased, focusing entirely on being fast, accurate, and ruthless.

As for the new Kagune—the Koukaku: Ant-Man.

It could grow a layer of exoskeleton on the host's body, compensating for Simu's lack of defensive capabilities.

Beyond the Kagune series, Simu had also created two new Jashin Race species.

[Raven]: Appearing like an ordinary crow, it could share its vision with the main body, serving as long-range reconnaissance or being deployed in large numbers as a distraction.

[Black Beetle]: Possessing a certain degree of sensory ability, its sharp teeth could tear through the vast majority of prey. Its body could store energy, and it could be mass-produced to serve as scouts or to transport prey.

Over the past three months, Simu had already spread these two creatures, the Raven and the Black Beetle, throughout every corner surrounding the Jashin Cult headquarters.

The headquarters had originally been home to a flock of crows, but unfortunately, not a single cultist realized that the flock living beside them had been completely replaced by Simu.

The crows living in the vicinity now were, in fact, all Ravens created by Simu.

And within the soil, on the trees, and even inside the cultists' rooms, countless tiny Black Beetles lived.

It could be said that everything in the surroundings was under Simu's control.

But this was not enough.

If he could, Simu would love to infiltrate his eyes and ears into every corner of the Shinobi World.

This was clearly unrealistic.

Although the Jashin Cult had sacrificed a large number of offerings over these three months, the vast majority of the energy from these sacrifices had been absorbed by Jashin-sama through some method, leaving only the corpses for himself.

It could be said that Simu was merely picking up the scraps left behind by Jashin-sama.

The energy generated had long since been exhausted during Simu's analysis and creation of new species.

If he were to continue using the [Womb of the Primordial Creator] ability, the cost would be Simu's own life force.

And speaking of consuming life force, Simu had to say:

What a coincidence!

I happen to be the possessor of an Immortal Body, the chief spokesperson appointed by Jashin-sama, Kamizuki Simu!

Under the blessing of Jashin-sama, Simu's life could be said to be endless; as long as the great Jashin-sama had not fallen, he could not die!

Simu adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Jashin-sama, you wouldn't want your followers to be unable to spread the faith of the Jashin Cult due to a lack of energy, would you?"

The next second, the entire Blood Pool began to boil.

Ability, activated!

Simu went full throttle, producing frantically.

A massive black shadow rose from the depths of the Blood Pool, and immediately after, the surface of the pool suddenly split open as countless Black Beetles surged out.

Like a tidal wave, they burrowed into every crack of the Shrine before pouring into the surrounding forest, while a portion crawled into Simu's wide trench coat to be stored.

They would become the eyes, ears, and strength for Simu as he walked in the outside world, becoming an extension of Simu's will!

However, just by producing these Black Beetles, Simu could feel that the energy within his body was nearly depleted.

He did not stop, however; instead, he increased his efforts.

This time, he was not producing Black Beetles, but Kagune!

The energy required to produce Kagune was vastly higher than that for Black Beetles; relying solely on his own body's energy, Simu could produce at most five or six at once.

But right now, the quantity Simu was aiming for was clearly far more than that.

At the bottom of the Blood Pool, hundreds of insect eggs appeared simultaneously.

They were like infants waiting to be fed, yearning for the nourishment of nutrients.

In an instant, the energy in Simu's body was completely drained, and immediately afterward, his life force began to be consumed frantically.

At the same time, in a certain space far away from the Shinobi World, the hundreds of crimson pupils of the great Jashin widened almost simultaneously!

What was going on? The energy it had painstakingly accumulated over these past three months was being consumed rapidly!

Moreover, at this rate, it wouldn't be long before it exhausted all the gains from the last three months, and it might even have to dip into its own reserves!

Soon, this Jashin, who had existed for who knows how long, located the source of the consumption.

"It's the Immortal Body!"

Jashin widened its eyes.

It had only granted the Immortal Body to two people: one was Hidan, and the other was Simu.

Under normal circumstances, the energy consumed each time the Immortal Body died was not very much; compared to the benefits it brought, it was negligible.

But this time, the consumption was simply too outrageous!

It was almost equivalent to one person dying hundreds of times in the span of just a few minutes!

"Who the hell is it?!"

Who the f*ck could die so many times in an instant?

Filled with extreme rage, Lord Jashin disregarded the energy drain and cast its gaze through the Divine Statue down into the Shrine where it was worshipped.

Then, it saw the handsome man floating in the Blood Pool, his face full of comfort as he let out continuous moans.

"I knew it was you! Hidan!"
