Chapter 350: Mercy Performance? Tang Zheng's Dominance

With a "click" sound.

The door closed, and Remedios left with different attitudes.

"Peach" Isadoro had maintained a skeptical attitude from beginning to end, not believing what Tang Zheng said, and more of a vigilance.

"Remedios is indeed easier to fool, although in fact this is not fooling."

Tang Zheng was not surprised that the few people from the Holy Kingdom didn't decide in the end.

"Speaking of which, Remedios, this woman, seems to have a somewhat special attitude toward me?"

"Is it because I saved their lives in the Hills incident?" Tang Zheng was slightly surprised.

"Forget it, whether the Holy Kingdom agrees or not, there is no choice next."

Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, staring at the hall that had quieted down again, the floor paved with brown wooden boards, under the bright "Everlasting Light."

The bookshelves, furniture, and corners would be a bit dim.

"Since people have already left, do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

Tang Zheng picked up an empty white porcelain cup, poured out warm amber black tea from the spout, and smiled.

There was no response in the room.

"Since you won't come out, forget it."

Tang Zheng shook his head and didn't care: "Pass a word to your pontiffs for me; if you want the "Fusion Potion," then let's talk properly."

"Only this time, add the people from the Holy Kingdom."

Grasp the initiative!

Naturally, he couldn't let the rhythm fall into the hands of the Theocracy; rather than waiting for the Theocracy to be prepared and the people of the Holy Kingdom to be scared away, it was better to take the initiative.

"Contacting such national forces without exposing strength is really troublesome."

Tang Zheng complained in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit.

Tang Zheng leaned lazily on the sofa, flipping through the books deliberately placed by the Theocracy on the bookshelf in the room.

Whoosh~

A breeze blew past the window.

Tang Zheng's action of flipping pages paused: "Left. This member of the Scripture should have come to monitor and prevent the leakage of Zesshi Zetsumei's information to the Holy Kingdom."

""Heaven and Earth"? Heh... what a big name."

Hum—

'Skill Point: 137→136'

…………

Skill: Ninjutsu: Concealment

Consumption: 5mp~? mp (the more magic power consumed, the better the effect)

Introduction: After activating the skill, eliminate your own aura and fall into an invisible stealth state; once an attack is launched, it will be automatically canceled.

…………

"A good skill, much stronger than "Invisibility" in tier magic, but I don't know if the 【Ninja】 skill can be stronger than "Complete Invisibility" in magic?"

An unexpected skill harvest.

Made Tang Zheng's unhappy mood during this period finally ease a bit.

Most of the skills in the 【Ninja】 system can increase power according to the amount of magic power consumed, not weaker than some tier magic.

This is also the advantage of the thief system class.

—Mid-Wind Month.

May 15th.

After two days of silence, the Theocracy finally had some movement.

A conference hall located deep in the Theocracy.

Completely paved with clean white tiles and floors, there were six large glass windows around the hall, and the light that came in projected onto six areas.

The entire conference hall was full of solemnity and holiness.

And an invisible oppression, and a sense of inviolability!

Not a trace of dirt or dust.

Clean enough to reflect the dark brown conference table and the six reflections sitting on it.

These six!

Were the big shots at the top of the Slane Theocracy, which had a population of over fifteen million.

Different from the solemnity when the six people gathered together for meetings in the past.

The atmosphere at this moment was quite relaxed.

"Judiciary Chief Gulid... what a pity." As the only female among the pontiffs, Fire Pontiff Bernice sighed lightly, a trace of grief flashing on her plump cheeks.

Brief silence.

"His contribution will be remembered by the Theocracy."

Darkness Pontiff Maximilian's round-rimmed glasses reflected slightly, and he spoke softly and calmly.

The death of Judiciary Chief Gulid not only bore the sin of the infants, but the greatest contribution was having a reasonable reason to restrain that Team Leader Tang and the people of the Holy Kingdom.

The Holy Kingdom was fine.

The potion researched by that Team Leader Tang was too important; if it weren't for the last resort, they didn't want to use a tough attitude to create a rift with such excellent talent.

"Thank the God for still letting us humans survive today!"

Water Pontiff Cedran prayed in a low voice.

"Then, the serious topic ends here."

Light Pontiff Ion had long, narrow corners of his eyes and gaunt cheekbones; when he spoke, he gave people a sense of insidiousness:

"Next, let's communicate about the matters to be discussed later."

"This Team Leader Tang took the initiative to propose communication about the potion; I suppose he has already made a choice, and we just need to give corresponding promises."

"That's right, such an excellent talent in alchemy will likely develop more useful potions in the future."

"What about the Holy Kingdom side?"

"Mere Holy Kingdom, daring to intervene in this matter!"

"That Miss Remedios... well, it's impossible to judge, but "Peach" Isadoro is a smart man and knows what choice to make."

"Hehehe, this Team Leader Tang wants to borrow the power of the Holy Kingdom."

"How could an adventurer understand that communication at the national level is not as simple as dealing with a few monsters and doing a few tasks."

"......"

Sounds of discussion rang out one after another, and the attitudes of the six pontiffs were extremely relaxed, thinking that the result was already destined.

Having seen the strength of the God-kin, and the attitude they displayed, as long as this Team Leader Tang was a smart man, he would know how to choose.

Suddenly.

"They are here." Wind Pontiff Dominic said lightly.

The sound of discussion paused.

Six pairs of eyes, either calm, gentle, sharp, or indifferent, looked quietly toward the direction of the conference door.

Woo—

A thick wind pressure sounded along with the opening door.

With a "clatter" sound.

The friction of the metal accessories on both sides of the door.

Obvious light poured out from the hall.

Walking through a long corridor, the suddenly bright light easily made people subconsciously close their eyes.

However.

Tang Zheng and "Peach" Isadoro were not affected by the dazzling light at all.

What first caught their eyes!

Was the bright light shining down from the six large glass windows, illuminating the conference room paved with white tiles to a translucent white.

Setting off the figures of the six pontiffs, full of majesty and oppression!

The loose white sleeves swayed slightly.

"What an honor."

Tang Zheng was not affected by the invisible oppression at all, his vision easily captured the demeanor of the six pontiffs, and he stepped into the hall with a smile:

"To be able to see all the pontiffs at once, I thought I would only see the two from before this time."

The disrespectful voice echoed, breaking the holy and solemn atmosphere. Several pontiffs frowned imperceptibly.

This rude behavior made some pontiffs have quite a few complaints in their hearts, but thinking that the other party was just struggling powerlessly, it was not unreasonable to show dissatisfaction.

"Peach" Isadoro was expressionless.

But from the faintly tense neck, it could be seen that the other party was not as relaxed as imagined.

"Really gives me a headache."

"Peach" Isadoro thought to himself.

He didn't want to attend this so-called meeting!

Or it could be said that he had already planned to cut ties with this Team Leader Tang on behalf of the Holy Kingdom, but facing the Theocracy's invitation, he had to attend this meeting with a destined result.

Seeing that the Holy Kingdom only sent "Peach" Isadoro, the six pontiffs all showed a hint of a smile on their faces.

This was enough to indicate that the Holy Kingdom had given up on supporting Team Leader Tang.

Step!

Step!

Tang Zheng and the other stepped on the smooth white stone slabs, each step making a crisp reverberation, and their shadows stretched longer and longer as they approached the light.

—However.

When they got closer to the conference table, their shadows began to shrink rapidly under the illumination of the six tall glass windows.

In the end, only a shallow one remained under their feet.

As if in this holy room, nothing dark should exist.

As Tang Zheng and the other sat down.

The atmosphere in the room quieted down.

"Peach" Isadoro lowered his eyelids, maintaining noble etiquette, sitting on the conference chair with a pointed arch and relief on the back.

He knew very well that he was just making up the numbers by appearing here, and he didn't intend to speak.

"Team Leader Tang..." Water Pontiff Cedran spoke gently first.

The two sides had contact before, so it was most appropriate for him to open the topic.

"First of all, I will declare one point."

Tang Zheng interrupted what the other party was saying: "I absolutely do not allow any infants to be used as fusion materials."

Water Pontiff Cedran's words were swallowed back in his mouth; being interrupted didn't make him angry, he just didn't expect Tang Zheng to be so direct.

"This matter is our responsibility."

"Judiciary Chief Gulid also because of this... sigh, in short, Team Leader Tang, if you have any thoughts, just speak up and relax."

Fire Pontiff Bernice showed a look of grief, smiled softly and broadly, and performed the appearance of a kind mother.

The rest of the pontiffs nodded one after another, their attitudes surprisingly gentle.

In fact.

The group of infants used as experimental subjects didn't care at all; since this Team Leader Tang in front of them cared, they naturally had to show that they cared.

As for what to do later?

They wouldn't listen to the command of a mere adventurer.

Seeing these pontiffs acting so easy to talk to.

"Since you are like this, then I am relieved."

Tang Zheng let out an inexplicable chuckle.

He could clearly feel that these pontiffs were "gentle" from the heart; precisely because of this, he could also perceive the arrogance of these people even more.

It was like a powerhouse occupying an absolute advantage, patiently listening to the whispers of a weakling.

Tang Zheng's mind had a vocabulary—Mercy Performance!

"Speaking of which."

"This kind of arrogance of the strong facing the weak, I also inevitably had some before."

Facing the six gentle faces, a sincere smile also appeared on Tang Zheng's cheeks:

"Thank you to the Theocracy for your research on my "Fusion Potion.""

"I didn't expect that the potion developed by accident would have such powerful effects. Judiciary Chief Gulid gave me a map."

"It wasn't until I saw the map that I finally understood the crisis and situation humanity is in. If I can increase the strength of humanity, I will naturally do my best."

Tang Zheng sighed deeply.

Hearing this.

The smiles on the faces of the six pontiffs became even more intense.

"As far as I know, 7th-tier magic already belongs to the power that "Demon Gods" can use."

Tang Zheng leaned forward, supporting his arms on the table:

"But it cannot be cast by the power of an individual human... by the way, that person holding the strange weapon like a cross-spear, should be a warrior, right?"

"So, the only way for you in the Theocracy to summon the highest-tier angel is to use a method called "Grand Ritual.""

The smiles on the faces of the six pontiffs disappeared a bit; they didn't expect Tang Zheng to mention Zesshi Zetsumei in this situation.

Besides.

The other party's words didn't seem to have the fear they expected, and the information revealed was also somewhat difficult to guess what exactly they wanted to express.

"As a summoner, I also know one thing: without a specialized class structure, any summoner can only summon one monster at a time."

The smile on the corners of Tang Zheng's mouth increased by another point:

"The "Fusion Potion" can indeed make monsters exist for a longer time, but it will also occupy the summoner's monster summoning quota."

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet.

There was not much change on the faces of the six pontiffs; only "Peach" Isadoro was stunned, seemingly thinking about something.

Click—

"This leads to the real effect of the potion, under normal circumstances, it may not be as... useful as it appears."

Tang Zheng left his arms on the table, leaned back on the chair, and spread his hands with a smile:

"Well, this word still feels somewhat appropriate in my personal feeling."

"After all, the advantage of a summoner is that in the case of a summon being destroyed, they can re-summon and continue to weaken the enemy's strength."

"Just like the elite team like 【Sunlight Scripture】 in the Theocracy, there is no need for long-existing summons to occupy their own summoning quotas."

"Because everyone can only summon one in the end."

"Then—"

Tang Zheng's smile faded, becoming serious, and he raised a finger and shook it: "The role of the potion on higher-tier angels is even more important."

"This is also what you in the Theocracy value most."

"However, due to the summoner's limitation, even with the power of the Grand Ritual, one can only control one highest-tier angel."

"Then—how to circumvent this problem, let me guess."

Tang Zheng sat on the conference chair, pretending to be thinking, and then flicked his finger:

"It must be that "Magic Sealing Crystal" used by Captain Nigun in the Hills incident. I have limited knowledge and cannot evaluate how magic is injected into such super-standard items."

"However, the basic means should be similar to the means of making magic scrolls or magic items."

"First use the Grand Ritual, activate 7th-tier magic, and then use special means to inject the magic into the "Magic Sealing Crystal.""

"This way, the summoner's limitation can be circumvented."

"It's just—there aren't many such super-standard items in the Theocracy, right?"

Tang Zheng smiled and spoke to the pontiffs.

Regarding the "Magic Sealing Crystal," Tang Zheng really knew the specific quantity; there were four in total in the entire Theocracy, and now one was lost, in his item box.

Now only three were left. As for how he knew?

When he killed "Funny Brother," he extracted quite a bit of information about the Six Great Gods' legacy from the other party.

At this very moment!

The faces of the six pontiffs gradually began to change.

And Tang Zheng didn't stop at all, continuing to smile: "Even if you can use super-standard items like "Magic Sealing Crystal" to summon a larger number of high-tier angels."

"But what about people?"

"I happen to know a piece of information: the basic condition for activating the "Grand Ritual" is that the core caster of the ritual must be at least a 5th-tier magic caster."

"Only a magic caster in the Heroic Realm can withstand the impact of the ritual, and to activate 7th-tier magic, the caster should be a 4th-tier caster?"

"And a 4th-tier magic caster using the Grand Ritual—even if they don't die, they will be crippled."
