Chapter 351: Neutral Angel, Frogman Egg

Crippled if not dead?

Tang Zheng was not exaggerating.

Using higher-tier power with low-tier strength is an extraordinary means in itself.

The most representative is Brain, who used half-step Heroic strength to exert a strike close to level 40, directly causing physical collapse and death.

And 7th-tier magic belongs to the (43~49lv) range, which is a full 14 levels away from the Heroic Realm!

The "Magic Rise Ritual" that simply raises two tiers.

In the light novel version, all the priests of the Lizardman tribe combined to use this ritual, and they only summoned two 3rd-tier "Wetland Elemental Spirits."

Using higher-tier magic with the help of a "Ritual"!

The difficulty lies not in the massive magic power consumption, but in the caster's level exceeding their own, which will produce immense pressure on the caster!

At this moment!

In the entire conference hall, only Tang Zheng's voice echoed in the air.

The six pontiffs and "Peach" Isadoro all looked at Tang Zheng, who was talking eloquently, in a daze, with shock and astonishment in their eyes.

Gulp~

"Peach" Isadoro's Adam's apple slid with difficulty, his breathing trembled, and he was desperately trying to remember every word Tang Zheng said.

There was too much information revealed here!

With a "bang" sound!

A palm pressed heavily on the table.

"Shut up!"

Wind Pontiff Dominic's gentle expression disappeared, and he showed irritability and anger.

The rest of the pontiffs also had ugly faces or narrowed their eyes like blades; they never expected Tang Zheng to be able to deduce so much information.

That's right!

Their way of summoning the "Dominion Authority Angel" was with the help of the power of the Grand Ritual, and then injecting the magic into the Magic Sealing Crystal.

And spending such a huge price and resources, just to summon an angel possessing Demon God power, could it be—they didn't want to summon higher-tier existences?

Obviously not.

In the entire Theocracy, there was not a single faith-based "Heroic Realm" magic caster.

Water Pontiff Cedran looked at Tang Zheng opposite, a wise light flashing in his eyes, and he was pondering the purpose of this young man.

Showing more of his own value?

No need for that.

The "Fusion Potion" was enough to make the Theocracy value the other party.

Saying it to the people of the Holy Kingdom?

Water Pontiff Cedran cast a glance at "Peach" Isadoro, who was tense.

What is the significance?

Their Theocracy didn't have so little capacity that they would do something to the people of the Holy Kingdom just because of the leakage of this information.

"Why? Is it wrong?"

Tang Zheng didn't seem to feel the gradually cooling atmosphere, and looked at Wind Pontiff Dominic with a smile:

"Of course, I am not a person of the Theocracy, maybe there are powers and means I don't understand, but one point can be determined."

"Summoning the "Dominion Authority Angel" is very difficult, even in a short time... no, this time span is probably longer."

"One month, two months? Or half a year before it can be summoned again?"

Although Tang Zheng said so, he was extremely certain in his heart.

There were no "Heroic Realm" faith-based magic casters in the 【Black Scripture】, and the Six Great Witch Princesses who were secretly used as tools were all magic-based magic casters.

The Other World is not the "Yggdrasil" game!

Faith-based requires self-consciousness and pious belief in a certain god from the heart, and the Witch Princesses used as tools could not satisfy this condition.

What made Tang Zheng even more certain.

Was that Captain Nigun of the 【Sunlight Scripture】 only had a 4th-tier faith-based level, and the entire team, even including the reserves, was less than 100 people.

The expressions of the six pontiffs were different at this moment, and they looked at each other implicitly.

Completely guessed!

A 4th-tier magic caster could not withstand the power of the "Grand Ritual," and after activating it once, they fell into a near-death state.

This was not a simple injury!

But a kind of mental atrophy, damage, and even some negative effects they couldn't judge!

Captain Nigun, who lost the Magic Sealing Crystal and was removed from his position, was one of them, and is still in a coma.

It was not that there was no way to lift this abnormality; the direct way was to kill them and then resurrect them with resurrection magic, but this was undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst!

It was better to let them slowly recuperate and recover.

According to their plan,

The Theocracy would focus on cultivating faith-based magic casters who could summon angels, and with 20 years of time, they could cultivate a certain number of excellent talents.

Stretching the timeline to decades or even hundreds of years later, they could truly exert the power of the "Fusion Potion."

This was also why they valued Tang Zheng so much, but didn't show excessive eagerness; after all, it involved decades or even longer planning.

Although it was useful in the short term, it was not enough to change anything immediately.

"Team Leader Tang, what do you want to say?"

Fire Pontiff Bernice smiled like spring snow melting, with her hands folded on the conference table.

Darkness Pontiff Maximilian raised his head, his round-rimmed glasses reflecting faint light, expressionless: "Don't forget, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the "Fusion Potion.""

"Team Leader Tang, the content you mentioned has deviated from the theme."

"That's right, meaningless."

"The one from the Holy Kingdom, next is the conversation between our Theocracy and this Team Leader Tang; please trouble you to leave the conference room first."

Voices that were flat and emotionless rang out one after another.

"Peach" Isadoro's face turned black; such a direct expulsion made anger surge in his heart, but more of it was a sense of powerlessness.

"Okay, I'll take my leave first."

"Peach" Isadoro took a deep breath, stood up, and left.

But the next moment.

Slap!

Tang Zheng's palm pressed on "Peach" Isadoro's shoulder, shaking his head helplessly at the six pontiffs.

"My lords, it seems you didn't fully understand what I meant." Tang Zheng sighed, withdrew his palm, and said seriously:

"I said from the beginning that the map given to me by Judiciary Chief Gulid made me deeply understand the dangerous situation of humanity."

""Fusion Potion" can increase the strength of humanity, so I will naturally do my best!"

"Don't forget, Captain Kelart of the Holy Kingdom is a faith-based magic caster who has truly stepped into the "Heroic Realm.""

"Although she is not good at summoning angels, with Captain Kelart's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to master angel summoning!"

—In an instant.

A bright radiance erupted in "Peach" Isadoro's eyes.

And the six pontiffs were stunned in unison, their expressions unclear.

Tang Zheng stared at them, sneering in his heart.

You are shouting about doing it for humanity, so how about passing the method of the "Grand Ritual" to the Holy Kingdom?

The "Grand Ritual" is a means that can only be used by national-level power, and among all human countries, only the Slane Theocracy masters this method.

If Fluder had the "Grand Ritual" back then, the "Longevity Magic Ritual" he activated would have been completely different.

Brief silence. Tang Zheng knew that this point alone was not enough to bring the Holy Kingdom to a situation of being on par with the Slane Theocracy.

Without using his own power.

If he wanted to leave the Slane Theocracy easily, and even exert invisible influence on the two countries later, without letting anyone discover any clues in the whole process.

Then he needed to bring the Holy Kingdom to a level of playing against the Slane Theocracy!

When the "benefit" thrown out is large enough.

Even the high-and-mighty Six Great Pontiffs, including the Slane Theocracy, would compromise together.

"Vice-Captain Isadoro."

Tang Zheng turned his head and suddenly spoke.

"Team Leader... Lord Tang, please speak." "Peach" Isadoro changed his address unconsciously, with more respect in his words.

He suddenly realized that what this Lord Tang said at night before was not empty talk; the other party was actually really considering the Holy Kingdom.

This Lord Tang...

"Peach" Isadoro's eyes were somewhat in awe; he didn't know how to describe the other party for a while.

"How long does it take for your country's national treasure-level magic item, "Wang Guan of the Holy King," to be activated before it can be activated again?"

Tang Zheng asked.

This level of information belonged to the country's secrets; at any moment, even facing the threat of death.

"Peach" Isadoro was convinced that he would definitely defend the country's secrets with his life.

At this instant!

Everyone in the room seemed to have thought of something.

"Half a month!"

"It can be used about once every half a month!" "Peach" Isadoro's tone unconsciously clenched his fists, his emotions excited, and his voice carried an uncontrollable tremor.

The pontiffs, who were still relatively calm just now, had their faces change completely at this moment, and they were also excited and looked at each other, seemingly wanting to discuss something.

"Oh, half a month."

Tang Zheng nodded, his face showing a look of recollection: "In the Hills incident, the magic item "Wang Guan of the Holy King" was impressive."

"If I remember correctly, it can summon 128 Guardian Angels, 64 Flame Archangels, and 32 Serenity Authority Angels at once, totaling 224."

Speaking of this.

Tang Zheng's tone paused, sweeping across the others in the room: "If these summoned angels use my "Fusion Potion.""

"448 angels can be manufactured every month; in one year, there are..."

Before the words were finished.

"5376 angels!"

"In one year, 3072 Guardian Angels, 1536 Flame Archangels, and 768 Serenity Authority Angels can be manufactured!"

Light Pontiff Ion's gaunt cheeks were excited, clenching his fists tightly, quickly spitting out a series of numbers.

Clatter—

Excited emotions permeated the entire conference table.

One pontiff after another couldn't care about the people of the Holy Kingdom being opposite, and quickly lowered their voices to discuss, their excited emotions beyond words.

Since entering the conference hall.

"Peach" Isadoro, who had always shown a very low sense of presence, drooping his eyelids, and didn't even want to speak, straightened his spine at this moment.

Tang Zheng could even notice the veins popping up on the other party's arms unconsciously.

"Peach" Isadoro stared at the six pontiffs opposite, and a murderous intent even leaked out from the bottom of his eyes, as if he were crazy.

It felt like he was ready to fight for his life at any time!!

5376 angels that could exist for a long time; this was a powerful force that could completely destroy a country!

Not to mention that this was only temporary!

So many could be manufactured every year; if they got the "Grand Ritual" method mastered by the Slane Theocracy.

Cooperating with Lady Kelart, they could also manufacture powerful angels like "Dominion Authority Angels"!

"Only 5000-plus angels?"

A voice of disdain entered everyone's ears.

Everyone's thoughts paused.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Tang Zheng, as if saying—"Do you really not understand what this power represents"!

You know.

Even in the Baharuth Empire, which has the strongest military strength, the average level of soldiers in elite legions is only about 7~10.

The price required to summon an angel cannot be compared with the time and resources consumed to cultivate an elite soldier.

Tang Zheng was indeed a bit disdainful; these low-tier angels would have no effect against Ainz in the future, but for humans in the Other World.

It was indeed an increase in powerful military strength out of thin air!

"Tang, this matter..."

Water Pontiff Cedran spoke softly with a gentler attitude than before.

The situation before him had exceeded their original expectations; the Holy Kingdom, which was not taken to heart, didn't expect to have such great potential.

If this happened in other countries.

The first thought would be to snatch the Holy Kingdom's national treasure, but this is precisely the Slane Theocracy that adheres to "Human Supremacy."

"Things are not as simple as you imagine."

Tang Zheng interrupted indifferently again.

Only this time.

The Six Great Pontiffs and "Peach" Isadoro had no dissatisfaction, but all waited quietly for Tang Zheng, waiting for the next content.

"The angels summoned by the magic item "Wang Guan of the Holy King" are different from ordinary angels."

"Simply put, angels summoned normally, or angels summoned using magic scrolls, can be freely controlled by the caster."

"And the angels summoned by this item belong to neutral monsters; if they exist for a long time, you need to consider the problem of how to control these angels."

Tang Zheng's tone was flat, reminding the fiery crowd:

"Besides, regarding the fusion candidates, have you considered it? These are thousands of angels!"

The Six Great Pontiffs were briefly stunned, their expressions different, some showing thoughtful expressions, some showing that they didn't care at all.

"I have already said before, absolutely no infants can be used!" Tang Zheng's smile faded, and he reminded again, seemingly a warning.

This time.

The Six Great Pontiffs no longer had the indifference from before.

With a "click" sound.

Tang Zheng took out an enlarged potion bottle from the magic belt on his waist and slapped it on the conference table.

Everyone's gaze looked at the translucent potion bottle, only to see a grain of fingernail-sized, translucent light cyan eggs inside.

"This is my unexpected harvest in the Hills area; it is the egg of the demi-human species, the Frogman." Tang Zheng explained, facing the doubtful gazes of the crowd.

"This is an unexpected harvest I found in the hilly region; they are the eggs of the demi-human Frogmen," Tang Zheng explained, facing the suspicious gazes of the group.
