"I seem to have created something quite extraordinary..."
Simu murmured as he received information transmitted back by the crows. He watched the various objects floating in the Blood Pool (Hidan included), a trace of surprise appearing on his face.
Despite conducting research, Simu's forced departure from humanity and his exceptional spiritual power meant his hands were empty of traditional documents; he had no need for research materials.
Everything was stored within his mind, as no data carrier could surpass his brain.
Calling it a brain was actually somewhat inaccurate. Since Simu was a collective mass of blood, the term "brain" was only a relative comparison to humans.
Regardless, after several months of analysis, Simu had indeed achieved significant results.

Simu examined his status panel. Indeed, many things had been added.
First, all the shinobi genes collected from the Sakamoto Company, the internal Jashin Religion, and the Hidden Steam Village had been successfully analyzed.
The analysis projects were synthesized into the broad category of Shinobi Genes.
Furthermore, these were subdivided into Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, and Wind categories.
Naturally, categories like Kekkei Genkai would likely be added later.
Through the comprehensive analysis of these shinobi remains, Simu understood the shinobi as a group to a certain extent.
At the very least, replicating these shinobi bodies and using their jutsu was no longer an issue. Simu could even use his genetic-level abilities to modify organisms and birth entirely new species.
In fact, that was exactly what Simu was doing.
This was why five types of elemental jutsu-wielding shinobi appeared under his producible races.
Among them, research samples and data for Earth Style and Water Style were relatively complete. As for Fire Style and Lightning Style, he had only barely scratched the surface, as samples for these two natures were too scarce.
The Wind Style was worth mentioning. Originally, Simu had no experimental subjects for Wind Style shinobi.
However, Orochimaru had conveniently delivered himself to the door.
Unexpectedly, the research results from Orochimaru's Snake Clone directly bypassed both Fire and Lightning Style.
It was clear that Orochimaru really knew his stuff regarding the understanding and application of ninjutsu.
Furthermore, Simu obtained many special snake-like genes from Orochimaru, which served as an accumulation of materials.
Simu had already anticipated the results for the shinobi series. If there was a true surprise, it was the research regarding the Kagune.
After recycling and analyzing gene samples from Mori Shiraishi, Sakamoto, and other Ghouls, Simu obtained a massive amount of data.
The first set of data concerned ordinary Ghouls.
This was the largest and most numerous sample in Simu's current research.
It verified one of Simu's ideas: the first-generation Kagune were merely parasites living on the human body.
They absorbed energy from the host's body to grow and fight, and the pheromones they produced influenced the host's spirit to some extent.
The relationship between the two was a form of symbiosis.
The second set of data was the analysis of Sakamoto's genes.
He could no longer be called human; essentially, he was just a husk containing many Kagune—a collective of multiple Kagune.
The third set of data came from Mori Shiraishi.
This was the experiment and data that Simu valued most and found most meaningful.
The greatest discovery among them was the—[RC Cells].Shutterstock
These were a special mutation product of the Kagune, triggered under the stimulation of strong human spiritual power and extreme emotions.
This product had moved beyond the scope of a "parasite" and had truly become a part of Mori Shiraishi's body.
Simply put, the Kagune created by Simu mutated under the stimulation of Mori Shiraishi's intense unwillingness, sadness, and anger.
The effect of this mutation was that they truly fused into one with Mori Shiraishi, becoming specialized cells within his body.
As for those Kagune, they naturally became existences equivalent to organs on Mori Shiraishi's body.
"This kind of mutation is truly interesting."
Simu's eyes sparkled with excitement.
This was a look that had not appeared on him for a long time.
That feeling of peering into a tiny sliver of the universe's mysteries from the world of all creation was simply addictive!
Even though Simu possessed a "bug" ability like the [Womb of the Creator] that reached the genetic level, he could not have predicted this change.
After all, the human spirit, soul, will, and choices were not things that rational calculation could analyze.
Moreover, in this world, the influence of the soul and spirit on reality and the physical body was more pronounced, leading to many idealistic phenomena.
Simu was not surprised by this.
Since things like "traveling to another world," "becoming a Jashin lackey," "being reborn as a blood pool," and "meeting a masochist upon resurrection" could happen, what else was impossible?
Simu's firm materialistic spirit had already shattered into pieces when that dark mass said to him, "I am the Jashin. Give me money, and I'll return your life."
He adjusted his glasses and smiled faintly.
"Today is a good day."
With that said, the RC cells in his body rapidly aggregated, forming individual Kakuhou. These replaced the positions of the original Kagune, giving himself an upgrade.
In the next second, his back suddenly bulged. Two terrifying giant swords forged from steel feathers, like beasts baring their fangs, were fully revealed in the air.
"As expected, after fusing with the human body into RC cells, the shape of the Kagune is influenced by the human brain, thus manifesting the form one desires to achieve."
The moment Simu had that thought, the RC cells in his body gathered into a Ukaku Kakuhou and manifested the form of these black-iron feathered giant swords.
