After deciding to create their own Messiah, the [[Center]] gathered a wide array of scientists<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=The Center started the mobilization of scientists. It seems they started to gather scientists of a wide variety after several years. They may be trying to start something incredible.|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref>, among them being the scientists Mekata and Hanada. Through the use of biotechnological techniques such as accelerated breeding<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=Saying that my research is useful for forcibly accelerated breeding technology... In fact, the breeding resembles the demons' biological flow...|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref> and vitro fertilization, five beings were created from eggs.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=One body is inhabited by in vitro fertilization. There is no problem with this. It's not a big deal. We also used the remaining 4 eggs and sperm. It is culture technology.|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref> These eggs were strengthened and placed in vats to speed up their growth to whatever age the Center deemed suitable to fulfill the next phase of their plan, though the survival rate for the eggs that underwent the accelerated growth was not guaranteed.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote='''Mekata:''' Under the current circumstances, the success rate of 100% cannot be guaranteed...|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref> This was of no concern to the Center however,<ref>{{Cite Web|quote='''Bishop:''' I have said it many times as a problem.

== | At the core of the project was the Messiah, who was to be named Aleph. His creation would differ from the other artificial humans in that he would be created through the use of vitro fertilization, being a strengthened, fertilized egg that would be inserted into the body of a strong woman who would serve as the egg's surrogate. This woman would be chosen from a worthy family from the Center<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=It was said that both my father and mother are honorable...|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref> under the guise that she was participating in an experiment aiming to improve the declining birth rates after the [[Great Cataclysm]].<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=I was called on that day to the Center, and they told me: | ||
"You were chosen to maintain and improve the degraded viability and reproductive ability after the Great Destruction"...|author=MEGATEN_ALBERT|url=[https://pastebin.com/NrPG6DWP]|archive=|published=|retrieved=November 5th, 2024|site=pastebin|type=}}</ref> After the woman brought the child to term and gave birth to him, he would then be placed in a vat to age him up to adulthood within days.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote=だが 君だけは違う | |||

* Each person created as part of the Messiah Project is named after Hebrew letters, which are meant to be code names for them. | |||
* There were originally meant to be two other Messiah Project creations named after the 5th and 6th letters of the Hebrew alphabet. However, they were said to have been lost in a failed experiment and were "eaten" by Zayin, a euphemism possibly meaning that whatever was left of the two was used in Zayin's creation.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=メシア・プロジェクトにおいて最強の能力を持つ人造人間テンプルナイトNO.7。 ちなみにNO.5とNO.6は、 実験の失敗で消滅したとも、 ザインに 「食われた」とも言われている。 アレフたちから1年遅れてプロジェクトに投入された。 センターの訓練を受け、 強力なマインドコントロールもプログラムされているはずだが、 そんな事は微塵も感じさせず、一貫して自由意志で行動しているように見える。|des=|chapter=|book=MTJ|publyear=1998|author=CB's Project|publisher=Aspect|lang=Japanese|volume=|edition=|page=143|transl=|isbn=978-4-89366-917-9}}</ref> | |||
