"I seem to have come up with something pretty incredible..."
As Simu received the intelligence Raven had sent back, he looked at the various things bobbing in the Blood Pool—including Hidan—and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
Although he was conducting research, Simu had been forced to stop being human and possessed exceptional mental strength, so his hands were empty. He had no need for research materials at all.
Because no data storage medium could compare to his brain.
Though calling it a brain was not entirely accurate. Simu was a collection of blood, and a brain was merely the closest equivalent in human terms.
In short, after several months of analysis, Simu had indeed achieved quite a few results.
[Jashin-sama's Raising Game] [Host]: A Blood Pool named Kamizuki Simu [Level]: 2 (The next level requires Reputation to reach 10,000) Note: The host's mental strength will increase along with their level. [Jashin Reputation]: 8431 [Ability 1]: [Womb of the Primordial Creator] [Gene Bank]: Human Gene, Leafcutter Mantis Gene, Giant Centipede Gene, Giant Man-eating Spider. [Genes Currently Being Analyzed]: Jashin Gene (Analysis Progress: 14.1%) Ninja Gene (12.1%) Note: Overall genetic analysis progress for the ninja population. Orochimaru Gene (2.7%) Note: Genetic analysis progress of Orochimaru's original body, inferred through his clone. RC Cell Gene (99.7%) Note: Shiraishi Mori's current genetic analysis progress. [Creatable Races]: Insectoid Kagune (including all first-generation Kagune) RC Kakuhou (second-generation Kagune mutated from first-generation Insectoid Kagune) Earth Release Ninja, Water Release Ninja, Wind Release Ninja, Fire Release Ninja, Lightning Release Ninja, Black Beetle, Raven, Evil-Faced Ghost Snake, Explosive Bug [Ability 2]: [Blessing of Jashin]: Your body has received Jashin's blessing. Until Jashin falls, you will possess an Immortal Body. [Description]: I want to create a world with Jashin-sama!
Simu examined his ability panel. It really had gained quite a few new things.
First, all the ninja genes collected from Sakamoto Trading Company, within the Jashin Cult, and from the Yunin had been successfully analyzed.
The analysis project had then synthesized them into the broader category of Ninja Gene.
It would further be divided into subcategories such as Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, and Wind.
Of course, categories such as Kekkei Genkai should be added later on as well.
Through the comprehensive analysis of those ninja corpses, Simu had gained a certain understanding of ninjas as a group.
At the very least, recreating their bodies and using their ninjutsu was no problem. Simu could even modify living creatures through his genetic abilities and give birth to brand-new races.
In fact, that was exactly what Simu had done.
That was why the five types of ninjas with elemental ninjutsu appeared among the creatable races.
Among them, the research samples and information for Earth Release and Water Release were relatively complete. As for Fire Release and Lightning Release, he had only barely scratched the surface, since there were simply too few samples of those two techniques.
Wind Release was worth mentioning. Simu originally had no Wind Release ninja test subjects.
But then Orochimaru had delivered himself right to his door.
Unexpectedly, the results of researching Orochimaru's Snake Clone had directly surpassed Fire Release and Lightning Release.
That showed Orochimaru truly had something to offer in terms of understanding and using ninjutsu.
Simu had also obtained quite a few special snake genes from Orochimaru, which could be considered useful material accumulation.
Simu had actually anticipated the results of the ninja-related research long ago. If there was anything surprising, it had to be the research into Kagune.
After recovering and analyzing genetic samples from Shiraishi Mori, Sakamoto, and other Ghouls, Simu obtained a massive amount of data.
The first set of data concerned ordinary Ghouls.
This was the largest sample group and the most numerous category in Simu's research.
It confirmed one of Simu's ideas: first-generation Kagune were merely parasites living inside human bodies.
They absorbed energy from their hosts' bodies to grow and fight, while the pheromones they produced affected their hosts' minds to a certain extent.
The two existed in a symbiotic relationship.
The second set of data concerned the analysis of Sakamoto's genes.
He could no longer be called human. In essence, he was merely a shell containing countless Kagune, a collection of multiple Kagune.
The third set of data came from Shiraishi Mori.
This was also the experiment and data Simu valued the most, and the one with the greatest significance.
The biggest discovery within it was—[RC Cells].
They were a special mutated product created when Kagune underwent mutation under the stimulation of powerful human mental strength and extreme emotions.
This product had already escaped the original category of "parasite" and had truly become a part of Shiraishi Mori.
Simply put, the Kagune Simu had created mutated under the stimulation of Shiraishi Mori's intense unwillingness, grief, anger, and other emotions.
The effect of this mutation was that they truly fused with Shiraishi Mori as one, becoming special cells within his body.
As for those Kagune, they naturally became something akin to organs within Shiraishi Mori's body.
"This mutation is truly interesting."
Excitement gleamed in Simu's eyes.
It was an expression that had not appeared on his face in a long time.
That feeling of glimpsing a sliver of the universe's mysteries from the world of Creation of All Things was simply irresistible!
Even though Simu had obtained the bug-like, gene-level ability known as [Womb of the Primordial Creator], he still could not predict such changes.
After all, human spirit, soul, will, and choices were not things rational calculations could analyze.
Moreover, in this world, the influence of the soul and spiritual realm upon reality and the physical body was even more apparent. As a result, many phenomena born of subjective will could occur.
Simu was not surprised by that.
After all, if things like [traveling to another world], [becoming Jashin's lackey], [being reincarnated into a Blood Pool], and [meeting a masochist upon resurrection] could happen, what else could possibly be impossible?
Simu's unwavering materialist spirit had already been shattered to pieces when that pitch-black thing told him, "I am Jashin. Send me money, and once I revive, I'll pay you back."
He adjusted his glasses and smiled faintly.
"Today really is a good day."
With that, the RC Cells on his body rapidly gathered, forming one Kakuhou after another. They replaced the positions originally occupied by the Kagune, giving himself an upgrade.
The next second, his back suddenly bulged outward. Two terrifying greatswords forged from steel feathers fully emerged into the air like ferocious beasts baring their fangs.
"Sure enough, after fusing with the human body to become RC Cells, the shape of the Kagune is also influenced by the human brain, taking on the form one desires to achieve."
Simu had merely formed that thought, yet the RC Cells on his body had already gathered into a Ukaku Kakuhou and manifested as those black iron feather greatswords.
