Chapter 354

Clementine's eye twitched, her expression stiff. She actually heard someone describe that monster as "easy to approach"!

Perhaps monsters have the same way of communicating with other monsters.

She carefully glanced at Tang Zheng.

Is he really a God-kin?

"My lord, our plan..." Clementine licked the corner of her mouth, fear appearing in her purple pupils.

She had deeply experienced the terror of the young man before her; despite possessing powerful strength, he had always kept it hidden.

Even when dealing with that God-kin monster, he did not expose it.

This makes him even more unfathomable!

"That is your plan, not mine."

Tang Zheng lowered his head, adjusting the "Other World version of the Nine-Linked Rings" in his hand, the silver metal constantly making crisp "clinking" sounds in his palm:

"Leaking the information about the 'God-kin,' and 'accidentally'... well, triggering a war between the Theocracy and the surviving True Dragon Lords, so the Theocracy would be affected or destroyed."

"Your desire for revenge is incredibly deep, Clementine."

Clementine's eyes trembled slightly, cold sweat appearing behind the fluffy golden hair covering her forehead.

She did not hear any emotional changes in the other party's words, and had no way to judge the young man's true thoughts.

This is also the reason why she has never been able to determine whether the other party is a "God-kin"!

She had confessed this plan from the beginning.

If the other party were a God-kin, logically speaking, the young man should not have let her live.

"A plan purely for the sake of venting is meaningless."

Tang Zheng completely assembled the "Other World version of the Nine-Linked Rings" in his hand, only then slowly raising his head and looking faintly ahead.

Dressed in copper-orange long and short boots, revealing sturdy, rounded thighs and a toned, flat abdomen, her figure could be called hot.

Clementine's body tensed for a moment, then relaxed again, knowing that with Tang Zheng's strength, if he really wanted to kill her, she would have no power to resist at all.

"Do you really think the Slane Theocracy doesn't know about the existence of God-kin?"

Tang Zheng spoke flatly.

Members of the 【Black Scripture】 know many secrets; after all, this team exists to capture the "Catastrophe Dragon Lord," which is the sealed magic tree in the Great Forest of Tob.

"Actually, I am more curious about what agreement the legendary 【Dark God】 and the former Slane Theocracy reached with the surviving True Dragon Lords?"

A sharp light flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, thoughtful.

"I will help you investigate, my lord." Clementine responded immediately.

Tang Zheng was noncommittal.

Tracing back 500 years, at that time, even Zesshi Zetsumei had not been born yet.

Secrets of this level are only truly known by the Platinum Dragon Lord today, and it is highly likely that the Theocracy does not keep written records of them.

"Although this country is filled with a false sense of holiness, for humanity at present, it still has a necessity to continue existing."

"Compared to this matter, being able to investigate the location of the treasury where the 'Six Great Gods' artifacts are stored is even more important."

Swish!

Tang Zheng threw the Other World version of the Nine-Linked Rings over.

Clementine reached out and grabbed the peculiar metal structure, responding: "Yes, my lord."

After getting this Other World version of the Nine-Linked Rings.

Clementine turned and left.

The other party was sent by Zesshi Zetsumei to ask him for toys; the reason for sending Clementine was probably because she felt Clementine had come into contact with him.

"It's a pity I can't leave a 'magic mark'."

Tang Zheng sighed inwardly.

Zesshi Zetsumei has psychological defects, but that doesn't mean she is stupid; if he left a magic mark on the "Nine-Linked Rings," Zesshi Zetsumei's strength would likely allow her to discover it.

The good relationship just established would inevitably go down the drain, and might even turn into complete hostility.

Zesshi Zetsumei is an important force against Ainz-sama!

"The other party's chaotic job structure is a problem."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly; readjusting Zesshi Zetsumei's job is not difficult.

Just kill her to lower her level!

The problem is that leveling up is probably a bit troublesome; it is unclear whether the energy that converts neutral angels into experience also works for people from this Other World.

Tang Zheng has not experimented with it.

It's not that he doesn't have time, but that he might not even have enough experience to level himself up.

"This is all I can do for now; once I master the ability to resist the influence of World-Class Items, I can take some tough measures."

Tang Zheng thought silently, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

—Cathedral Meeting Hall!

A pure white, holy environment.

At the large conference table, the six Pontiffs, Tang Zheng, "Peach" Isadro, and Remedios, a total of 9 people, sat at the table.

Although "Black" Pavel is powerful and is one of the Nine Colors of the Holy Kingdom, he is not qualified to participate in this meeting.

A series of matters such as "Integration Potions" and angels are currently top secret, and very few people in the entire Theocracy know about them.

In the eyes of the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy, this matter not only involves the strength of their respective countries but also involves the foundation of humanity, so naturally, the fewer people who know, the better.

Speaking of which.

Even "Peach" Isadro is not qualified to know.

Tang Zheng sat in the conference chair, his gaze looking toward Remedios beside him, just as their lines of sight crossed.

"Tang."

A smile appeared in Remedios's usually sharp gaze.

Tang Zheng nodded in response and looked at the data in his hand, thinking to himself: "Since Remedios is here, it means the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy have basically reached an agreement."

At the conference table.

"... What kind of talk is that."

"Launching a massive magic ritual is a complex procedure, involving not only the arrangement of various magic materials but also the understanding of magic..."

"We in the Holy Kingdom can send people to learn."

"Heh."

"Isadro, most of the magic casters in your Holy Kingdom are faith-based casters, and learning rituals requires casters proficient in mana-based magic."

"Please allow this old man to speak directly; I don't think you can learn magic rituals, and even if you could, the time wasted would be too long."

"............!"

The voices of "Peach" Isadro and several Pontiffs arguing came through.

Remedios's gaze was slightly vacant; she had always been unable to understand politics and magic, and felt a headache whenever she heard anything related to them.

It is more appropriate to leave it to Isadro to handle.

Remedios tilted her head slightly, looking at Tang Zheng, who was flipping through the data from time to time, appreciation appearing in her eyes.

She felt that her intuition was still very sharp.

Tang is indeed a very excellent person!

Not long ago, Isadro opposed her having too much contact with Tang, but now he has admitted that narrow-minded thought and mistake.

The Holy Queen's ideal is "to make the weak people feel happy and build a country where no one weeps."

Remedios firmly believes in this vow.

For the sake of the Holy Queen, she is willing to fight for this ideal, and now with Tang Zheng's potion, this vow might be realized ahead of schedule! "I also have times when my judgment is good, Kelart." Remedios looked at Tang Zheng from the corner of her eye, whispering to herself inwardly.

At this moment.

Tang Zheng's attention was focused on the data before him, surprise and a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

This data was the research result of the "Frogman Egg" he had previously handed over to the Slane Theocracy; according to the Slane Theocracy's research.

The "Frogman Egg" can indeed be used as a material for integration, and the amount of "Integration Potion" consumed is not much.

The only flaw.

Is that compared to the integration of believers and infants, the existence time of angels integrated with "Frogman Eggs" will be shorter.

There are also some more detailed experiments.

For example, "Frogman Eggs" cannot directly integrate angels; they need to be nurtured with holy energy. The simplest way is to use healing magic to let the "Frogman Egg" contain a trace of holy energy.

"As expected of the Theocracy, to be able to research such detailed information in such a short time."

Tang Zheng flipped through the data, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

He discovered that "Frogman Eggs" can be adjusted with artificial monster technology.

"Artificial Monster"!

This was the research of the 【Zuranon】 member who died at Tang Zheng's hands, a type of alchemy magic that forcibly matures "Demi-human Eggs."

What interests Tang Zheng is not the "Artificial Monster" itself.

But that this magic alchemy method can mature Frogman eggs and then turn them back into Frogman eggs, using them as a disguised magic item!

Tang Zheng temporarily suppressed the research ideas in his heart, flipped the data in his hand to the last page, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Heh."

Tang Zheng sneered inwardly.

On the last page of the data, there was a very brief sentence: "'Frogman Eggs' are not suitable as integration materials for the highest-ranking angels."

"Sure enough, the Theocracy does not intend to give up using infants as integration materials. And calculated by lifespan, the most suitable ones should only be—the Elf race!"

"There is a possibility of war breaking out between the Slane Theocracy and the Elf Kingdom in advance."

This thought popped into Tang Zheng's mind.

"Tang-kakka."

The steady and respectful voice of "Peach" Isadro came through.

Tang Zheng raised his head, noticing that everyone at the table was looking at him.

The wrinkles on the face of the Water Pontiff, Zuranon, piled up, and he smiled: "Tang, regarding the distribution of the 'Integration Potion'?"

"Everyone, it seems you have already reached an agreement."

Tang Zheng's expression was calm as he closed the data in his hand: "Due to the limited materials for the potion, without being affected, about one bottle can be made every day."

Hearing this quantity.

Both the Theocracy side and the Holy Kingdom side couldn't help but frown; although they had expected the quantity to be small, they didn't expect it to be this small!

"For convenience."

"At the end of each month, you can send people to the hilly region, and you can distribute the 30 bottles of alchemy potion yourselves."

Tang Zheng spoke faintly, not caring about what everyone was thinking at the moment.

The Earth Pontiff, Lei Meng, looked deeply at Tang Zheng and sighed helplessly.

According to the Theocracy's original plan.

After the other party arrived in the Theocracy, they did not intend to let Tang Zheng return, wanting him to stay in the Theocracy or even join it.

Result!

This leader Tang before them seemed to have foreseen everything long ago, not only dragging the Holy Kingdom into the water.

But even with just a few words, he pulled the Holy Kingdom, which was not qualified to come into contact with this, to the same position as their Slane Theocracy.

Now, if they dared to forcibly keep this leader Tang, the Holy Kingdom would definitely launch a war without any hesitation!

"Leader Tang comes from the Re-Estize Kingdom; does this matter need to be discussed with the Kingdom..." The Fire Pontiff, Berenice, raised her rounded cheeks and asked.

As soon as these words were spoken!

Both sides stared tightly at Tang Zheng.

Such a small amount of potion is not enough for two countries to share, and if another country is added, it will be even more troublesome, but this question had to be asked.

Tang Zheng shook his head, making everyone feel relieved.

"Although I am from the Kingdom, I know that the 'Integration Potion' is not suitable for use within the Kingdom."

Tang Zheng feigned helplessness, his words revealing a hint of disappointment in the Kingdom:

"This power can exert better effects in the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy."

Speaking of this.

Tang Zheng's tone suddenly changed, his expression becoming serious: "I am handing the power of this potion to the two countries from the perspective of all humanity, and I hope both countries will use this power to protect humanity."

—The atmosphere became solemn!

"Tang, our Theocracy is consistent with your will on this point."

The Water Pontiff, Zuranon, clasped his hands together on the table and responded solemnly.

"The Holy Kingdom is the same." "Peach" Isadro spoke immediately.

"Before any major crisis occurs, I personally hope that both countries can keep this secret hidden."

Tang Zheng smiled and spoke gently.

"Rest assured, Tang-kakka."

"Peach" Isadro replied very firmly: "This power is too special; even for the sake of your safety, we will not leak it."

"That's right."

"Seconded."

"............!"

A group of Pontiffs also nodded in agreement.

Once this power to permanently create summoned monsters is discovered by other countries, it will inevitably cause major trouble.

What the Pontiffs care about most is that if the Council State finds out, it will very likely attract the prying eyes of that True Dragon Lord.

"This is a secret shared by the three of us."

The Earth Pontiff, Lei Meng's rough voice rang out; even this usually indifferent man became rarely serious.

Unknowingly.

Both sides had long since treated Tang Zheng, this adventurer, as being on the same level.

"A secret, huh."

Remedios murmured softly, and facing this scene of witnessing history, she couldn't help but say:

"General secret operations usually have their own plan names to prevent being seen through; why not give this secret a plan name as well?"

Everyone was stunned.

Some Pontiffs were thoughtful, feeling that this proposal was good, after all, this matter involves the foundation and future of humanity.

If they encounter spies investigating in secret, and there is no unified name, it would be dangerous if information such as "Integration Potion" were exposed.

"Tang-kakka?" "Peach" Isadro spoke first; since the leader spoke first to propose it, it was naturally not good for him to lose face.

And he also felt this proposal was good.

"Hehe, Tang, what do you think?"

The Water Pontiff, Zuranon, smiled and looked at the other Pontiffs, smiling as he spoke.

"In that case, let's call it the 'Holy Plan'." Tang Zheng thought for a moment and said.
