Chapter 352: A Terrifying Sense of Being Unfathomable, Meeting Zesshi Zetsumei Again

~13 min read 2,479 words

Everyone present was a smart person, and they had already understood the meaning of the "Frogman Egg" Tang Zheng took out in the first instance.

Replace infants with Frogman eggs?

Whether it can succeed is temporarily aside!

The information revealed behind this bottle of Frogman eggs.

Made the group of pontiffs and "Peach" Isadoro, who had just been excited, feel an uncontrollable disbelief and shock in their hearts!

These Frogman eggs clearly couldn't have been prepared temporarily, which meant that this Team Leader Tang in front of them had already prepared them before coming to the Theocracy!

Does this mean that from the beginning, the other party had already anticipated the current situation!

Did their research on the "Fusion Potion," as this Team Leader Tang initially showed, really not know much about the true effect of the potion!

A series of questions and speculations emerged.

The Six Great Pontiffs looked solemn, each of them put away the contempt in their hearts, and a seriousness and solemnity never seen before appeared in their eyes.

They suddenly realized.

From the beginning, they might have underestimated this Team Leader Tang!

Water Pontiff Cedran, Light Pontiff Ion, Darkness Pontiff Maximilian,

These three pontiffs known for their wisdom thought more in an instant, and a layer of dense sweat had unconsciously broken out on their foreheads.

—If this premise is used for deduction!

Then, did this Team Leader Tang handing the "Fusion Potion" to the Holy Kingdom anticipate that they would take action to snatch the potion?

Thereby smoothly guiding out this series of situations!

No!

The other party's planning might be even earlier.

The cause of this matter was the Hills incident; perhaps the moment this Team Leader Tang took out the "Fusion Potion," he had already started laying out the plan!

What was the purpose?

—What was the purpose!

Darkness Pontiff Maximilian's breathing quickened by a point, and he unconsciously raised his hand to push his glasses.

This small action.

He hadn't done it since he took office as a pontiff.

He actually couldn't analyze what benefits the other party could obtain for a while?

Let's analyze based on the current situation.

Are they and the Holy Kingdom the ones who obtained the greatest benefits?

Even the country where the other party is located, the "Re-Estize Kingdom," couldn't obtain benefits from it, let alone Team Leader Tang who planned all this.

In the "Six Gods Scripture," there are descriptions of "believers of the dawn" who bathe in the glory of God, dedicating everything they have to God and humanity, without asking for any return.

But how is this possible!

Raising his head slightly.

Looking at this very young, gentle, calm, and composed youth opposite.

Darkness Pontiff Maximilian's pupils contracted unconsciously; he suddenly felt a kind of unfathomable, terrifying sense from the other party.

This meeting with the Theocracy as the main venue.

Had long been mastered by the other party unknowingly!

"It seems that everyone has already guessed the role of these Frogman eggs."

Tang Zheng nodded when he saw the crowd silent after he took out the Frogman eggs.

Sure enough, there is no need to explain too much when talking to smart people.

Speaking of which.

These Frogman eggs didn't come from the Hills area, but from the Great Wetland north of the Tob Forest; anyway, there were many demi-human races in the Hills area, even if he said so, the Theocracy had no way to investigate.

He didn't prepare in advance either, but after seeing the Theocracy's research data on the "Fusion Potion," he found that angels could actually be fused into infants.

He suddenly remembered the Frogman eggs he had always left in the corner of his item box.

This was the remaining material for Tang Zheng's research on "Artificial Monster: Frogman Egg."

Regarding the research on "Artificial Monsters,"

Tang Zheng had already mastered it; it was just that it really didn't have much effect. Theoretically, it was using magic power and special alchemy means to forcibly ripen the Frogman eggs, making them become adult Frogmen.

But the artificial monster Frogmen manufactured could only exist for about an hour, similar to summoned monsters.

It was a good extra means for people in the Other World.

But for Tang Zheng, it was a waste of time.

"These Frogman eggs, I haven't tried them; the pontiffs probably have to send someone to study them."

Tang Zheng pushed the medicine bottle containing the Frogman eggs in front of him forward:

"I know that you might not care about what I say now, but I have to remind you."

""Fusion Potion's" basic materials, you should know, it is a special alchemy potion derived from the blood of demi-humans,"

"The source of this blood is a special species, with very few members, and the blood that can be collected is very limited."

"Thousands of angels need to be "fused," and the potion is absolutely not enough. If Frogman eggs can be used as fusion materials, then the amount of potion occupied by each Frogman egg will be extremely small."

Speaking of this!

Tang Zheng's gaze swept across the changes in the expressions of everyone present, and he didn't see any useful information, but he didn't care either.

The words had been made very clear!

Whether you want to use Frogman eggs as "fusion" materials or not, you can only use Frogman eggs, because the potion is not enough.

Swish—la!

The conference chair rubbed against the floor, making a faint, ear-piercing sound.

Tang Zheng stood up under the puzzled gazes of the crowd and waved his hand casually: "I have said everything I want to say; next, it's your business."

Turning around.

Tang Zheng walked toward the outside of the hall without any scruples; as he left the conference table in the center, the bright light shone on his back, and his shadow began to stretch rapidly.

Step!

Step!

The sound of footsteps stepping on the floor echoed along the smooth floor.

At this moment.

Whether it was the high-and-mighty Six Great Pontiffs or "Peach" Isadoro, who was the representative of the Holy Kingdom, none of them had the intention to open their mouths to stop him.

This meeting had long been dominated by this Team Leader Tang, and even deviated from the original direction!

Clearly, his forces were the thinnest.

Tang Zheng, who looked the easiest to handle, had become the most difficult person to restrain at this moment.

The Six Great Pontiffs and "Peach" Isadoro's gazes crossed and collided on the conference table.

Such a great benefit!

The two countries would absolutely not have any compromise, and Tang Zheng, the potion creator, became a role that needed to be fully won over between the two countries.

This situation!

If it were placed in the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire, it wouldn't be difficult to solve.

However, it was precisely the Slane Theocracy.

In order to preserve the power of humanity and prevent internal loss of humanity, they adhered to avoiding the possibility of war with any country as much as possible.

Only by standing from the perspective of humanity as a whole would the Slane Theocracy compromise.

"Our country will take out a portion of angels every year to exchange for the "Grand Ritual," this special magic ritual."

"Don't joke!"

"You don't understand the power of the "Grand Ritual" at all."

"Hmph!"

"Our Holy Kingdom's national strength is indeed not as strong as the Slane Theocracy, but don't underestimate our Holy Kingdom!"

"We can invite Lady Kelart to visit the Slane Theocracy normally once a year."

"Please forgive me for refusing this unreasonable proposal!"

"......"

With a "clatter" sound.

The door of the conference room closed, isolating the arguing sounds inside.

Tang Zheng's mouth curled into a faint smile.

He only needed to be a leader, and the two sides, the Slane Theocracy and the Holy Kingdom, would discuss how to divide this benefit themselves.

Five thousand angels every year.

And the distribution rights of several 7th-tier "Dominion Authority Angels," and even 8th-tier angels, this power.

Even for the Slane Theocracy, which has the strongest national power, it has an irresistible attraction, let alone the Holy Kingdom.

"The two sides probably still need to argue for a while."

"And now, the Theocracy no longer has the ability to carry out so-called restrictions."

Tang Zheng's eyebrows revealed a hint of relaxation.

Without relying on powerful force, just by relying on the benefits thrown out, he guided two countries to proceed according to his own plan.

This feeling is indeed not bad.

Most importantly, he can use this to continue hiding behind the scenes and secretly exert influence on the two countries.

"The next plan is—investigate the Theocracy!"

Tang Zheng thought as he walked out of this church, and suddenly his gaze paused.

Just see!

At the gate of the church.

A girl was leaning against the shadow position against the wall of the gate, the black cross-spear battle scythe placed casually on the side, in the corner leaning against the wall.

"Click click" fine sounds.

Came from the girl's hand.

Zesshi Zetsumei!

Tang Zheng's gaze narrowed imperceptibly; he didn't expect to see the other party again.

"You came out."

Zesshi Zetsumei still lowered her head, playing with a strange cube toy in her hand, seemingly having waited for a long time.

Tang Zheng's vision fell on the cube toy.

That was a standard regular hexahedron, each side composed of a correct number of small cubes, and the surface of the cubes was dyed with different colors.

As Zesshi Zetsumei's fingers flipped, each cube seemed to be able to change positions at will.

Seeing this toy.

A name appeared in Tang Zheng's mind: "Rubik's Cube."

This was naturally not a product of the Other World; it should be an item left behind by the Six Great Gods, it's just uncertain whether it's a magic item or an ordinary item.

"If it's just one side, it's fine, but wanting to turn out two sides is very difficult."

Zesshi Zetsumei flipped her fingers quickly for a while, and spoke softly to herself.

Seemingly knowing that she couldn't flip it out in a short time.

Zesshi Zetsumei stopped the movement in her hand, raised her head to look at Tang Zheng, and curiosity appeared in her black and white different-colored pupils: "You are the first person who is not a member of the Theocracy, yet makes those six guys treat you seriously."

Tang Zheng was slightly silent, and introduced himself: ""Free Will" Tang."

"I know."

A concise response, without any intention of introducing herself.

Maybe it was disdain, maybe it was not caring.

"I'm here to deliver a prop."

Zesshi Zetsumei's voice was still very flat; whether it was speaking or her facial expression, she didn't have the rich emotions of normal humans.

Like performing magic.

Zesshi Zetsumei held the Rubik's Cube in one hand, flipped her palm with the other, and revealed a bronze feather-shaped necklace that looked very rough.

Hanging between her fingers, swaying in mid-air.

The flowing magic light on the surface of the bronze feather, although it looked rough, gave people a feeling of extremely high value.

Tang Zheng's gaze moved, easily seeing the text he was familiar with on the bronze feather.

This is... Lu En text?

There are only two possibilities for props containing Lu En text. 【352

One type is the Lu En items crafted by Dwarves, and the other is the "Yggdrasil" game items, where the Lu En characters on them serve only as decorations.

"However, that won't work now."

Zesshi Zetsumei acted as if she were making some kind of joke, then put away the bronze feather necklace in her hand: "You don't look like you'll be staying in the Slane Theocracy."

Tang Zheng was startled, finally understanding the reason for this inexplicable behavior before him.

"What a pity."

Tang Zheng gave Zesshi Zetsumei a helpless smile: "It must be a very precious magic item."

As the strongest Extra Seat of the 【Black Scripture】, Zesshi Zetsumei held the duty of guardian, responsible for protecting the place where the equipment of the Six Great Gods lay in slumber within the sanctuary.

The item the other party personally came to deliver was highly likely to be a relic of the Six Great Gods.

Before holding the meeting, the six Pontiffs clearly determined that the outcome would not change, so they brought out a precious item.

As a gift for his defection to the Theocracy, to win over his heart.

"What is that cube in your hand? Is it also an item?" Tang Zheng looked at the Rubik's cube, speaking with a feigned look of curiosity.

"No."

Zesshi Zetsumei retracted her palm holding the cube, looking quite concerned about it.

"Is that so."

Tang Zheng showed a thoughtful expression: "It looks like it should be a very precise structure; perhaps you could try choosing a cube of one color in the middle first, then rotate the cubes of the same color to the back to perform this operation."

Tang Zheng told Zesshi Zetsumei some simple rules and techniques.

"Ha~"

Zesshi Zetsumei's eyes turned cold, staring at Tang Zheng for a moment, then her hands began to spin the cube rapidly.

Time passed bit by bit.

Inside the cathedral, apart from the sounds of arguing occasionally coming from the deep meeting hall, there was only the "click-clack" sound of the cube turning.

The corner of Tang Zheng's eye twitched a few times.

He discovered that Zesshi Zetsumei was truly not suited for playing with such toys; even with his previous guidance and instructions, she still had a bewildered feeling.

The Rubik's cube, a type of puzzle toy often played with in his previous life, is a bit complicated at first, but as long as one finds the trick, one can quickly flip all six sides out.

About 20 minutes or so.

With the rotation of the last piece, under Zesshi Zetsumei's slender fingers, the colors of the six sides of the cube were completely aligned.

The six-colored cube stopped in her small palm.

A barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of Zesshi Zetsumei's mouth, but immediately after, her eyes became even colder in an instant.

Swoosh!

She grabbed the cross-spear scythe leaning against the wall with one hand.

Zesshi Zetsumei gripped the end, her figure flashed, and she instantly arrived in front of Tang Zheng, the sharp blade pressed against Tang Zheng's neck.

"Hey, I just helped you."

Tang Zheng had originally thought that helping Zesshi Zetsumei flip the six sides of the cube would improve her favorability, never expecting the other party to suddenly turn hostile.

This personality is truly unfathomable!

"Oh, so what?" Zesshi Zetsumei responded coldly: "This toy has no value to me anymore."

"So how are you going to compensate? With your life?"
