Simu had worked so hard, and naturally, it wasn't just to install an automatic reattachment system for Hidan. After three months of continuous analysis and evolution, he had performed a massive upgrade on all the Jashin species he controlled. He even found time to create several new species.

[Introduction]: I want to create a world with Lord Jashin!
Thanks to everyone's hard work, the Jashin Religion's Reputation had successfully reached 771. There was still a gap of over 1,200 to reach the next milestone.
As for the three initial Kagune—[Bikaku · Centipede], [Koukaku · Spider], and [Rinkaku · Mantis]—they had all been strengthened by Simu. The centipede focused on length and exoskeleton strength. Now, the [Bikaku · Centipede] had an attack range of ten meters, an exoskeleton strength comparable to steel, and was coated in potent toxins. If an enemy's skin was even slightly grazed, the toxins would claim their life within three minutes.
The [Koukaku · Spider] was updated to a new version: Hidan's [Koukaku · Parasitic Spider], which allowed the host to fire spider silk from any part of the body. The [Rinkaku · Mantis] enhanced the sharpness and speed of its limbs, focusing on being fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Regarding the new Kagune—[Koukaku · Antman]. It allowed an exoskeleton to grow over the host's body, compensating for Simu's lack of defensive capabilities.
Beyond the Kagune series, Simu created two new Jashin species.
[Raven]: Looks just like a crow. It can share its vision with the main body, serving for long-range reconnaissance or as a mass distraction.
[Black Beetle]: Possesses certain sensory abilities. Its sharp mandibles can tear through most prey. Its body can store energy. They can be mass-produced as scouts or used to transport prey.
Over these three months, Simu had already spread these two species across every corner surrounding the Jashin Religion headquarters. The headquarters originally housed a flock of crows, but not a single follower realized that the crows living beside them had been entirely replaced by Simu. The crows currently living nearby were actually Ravens created by Simu.
In the soil, on the trees, and even inside the followers' rooms lived countless tiny Black Beetles. It could be said that everything in the vicinity was under Simu's control.
But this was not enough. If possible, Simu wished to permeate his eyes and ears into every corner of the Shinobi World. This was obviously unrealistic.
Although the Jashin Religion had sacrificed many offerings over the past three months, the vast majority of the energy had been absorbed by Lord Jashin. What was left for Simu was merely the corpses. Simu was essentially just picking up Lord Jashin's scraps.
The energy generated had long been exhausted during Simu's analysis and creation of new species. If he continued to use the [Womb of the Creator] ability, it would consume Simu's own life force.
Speaking of consuming life force, Simu had to say: what a coincidence!
I am precisely the owner of an Immortal Body, the designated chief spokesman for Lord Jashin, Kamizuki Simu!
With Lord Jashin's empowerment, Simu's life force was essentially inexhaustible. As long as the great Lord Jashin had not fallen, he could not die!
Simu pushed up his glasses and spoke softly, "Lord Jashin, you wouldn't want your follower to be unable to spread the faith of the Jashin Religion due to a lack of energy, right?"
In the next second, the entire Blood Pool began to boil.
Ability, activate!
Simu went into full gear, producing frantically. A massive dark shadow rose from the depths of the pool. Then, the surface of the Blood Pool suddenly split open, and countless Black Beetles swarmed out. Like a tide, they burrowed into every crevice of the temple and surged toward the surrounding forests. A portion of them crawled into Simu's wide trench coat for storage. They would become Simu's eyes, ears, and strength in the outside world—an extension of his will!
However, just producing these Black Beetles made Simu feel that the energy in his body was nearly depleted. He did not stop; instead, he increased the intensity. This time, he wasn't producing Black Beetles, but Kagune!
Producing Kagune consumed far more energy than Black Beetles. With just the energy in his own body, Simu could produce five or six at most. But now, the quantity Simu sought was clearly much higher.
At the bottom of the Blood Pool, over a hundred insect eggs appeared simultaneously. They were like hungry infants, awaiting the nourishment of nutrients. In an instant, the energy in Simu's body was drained, and then his life force began to consume at a frantic rate.
Simultaneously, in a space far from the Shinobi World, the hundred scarlet eyes of the great Lord Jashin widened almost all at once!
What was happening? The energy it had painstakingly accumulated over the past three months was rapidly draining! At this rate, it would soon lose all the gains from these three months and might even have to dip into its own capital!
The Jashin, who had existed for an unknown amount of time, soon found the source of the consumption.
"It's the Immortal Body!"
Lord Jashin's eyes bulged. He had only given his Immortal Body to two people: one was Hidan, and the other was Simu. Normally, the energy consumed each time an immortal died wasn't much. Compared to the benefits it brought, it was negligible.
But this time, the consumption was too exaggerated! It was equivalent to a person dying hundreds of times within a few short minutes!
"Who is it?!"
Who could possibly die this many times in an instant?!
In a state of extreme fury, and regardless of the energy cost, Lord Jashin projected his gaze through the divine statue into the temple.
Then, he saw a beautiful man floating in the Blood Pool, wearing a blissful expression and letting out continuous groans.
"I knew it was you! Hidan!"
