Even if they don't die, they'll be crippled?

Tang Zheng's statement was not exaggerated.

Using higher-level power with lower-level strength is already an unconventional method.

The most representative example is Brain, who, with the power of a half- Hero, unleashed a strike close to level 40, directly causing the body to collapse and die.

The Seventh-Tier Magic falls within the range of (43~49Lv), which is a full 14 levels lower than the Hero Realm!

A "Magic Boost Ritual" that simply raises two ranks.

In the paperback version of the novel, all the Priest of the entire Lizardman Clan combined to use the ritual, and they could only summon two Tier 3 "Wetland Elemental".

Use higher-level magic through "rituals"!

The difficulty lies not in the enormous consumption of magic power, but in exceeding one's own Caster Level, which puts immense pressure on the spellcaster!

Now!

Only Tang Zheng's voice echoed in the entire conference hall.

The six Cardinal and "Pink" Isandro all stared blankly at Tang Zheng, who was speaking eloquently, their eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

Glug~

"Pink" Isandro's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, his breath trembled slightly, and he was desperately trying to memorize every word Tang Zheng said.

This reveals a lot of information!

With a loud "bang!"

He slammed his palm heavily on the table.

"Shut up!"

The gentle expression on the face of the Cardinal of Wind Dominic vanished, replaced by irritability and anger.

The other Cleric also looked grim or narrowed their eyes like knives; they never expected that Tang Zheng could deduce so much information.

That's right!

The way they summoned the "Principality" was by using the power of Great Ritual and then infusing that magic into the Sealing Crystal.

And to expend such enormous resources and effort to summon only Angel with Demon Gods powers—is it possible they didn't intend to summon a higher-level being?

Obviously not.

Throughout the entire Theocracy, there is not a single Magic Caster in the "Hero Realm" of pure Divine System.

The Cardinal of Water Zinedine, looked at Tang Zheng opposite him, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes. He was pondering the young man's purpose.

How can I showcase more of my value?

There's no need for that.

The fact that the "Assimilation Potion" already made the Theocracy take the other party seriously enough.

To tell the people of the Holy Kingdom?

The Cardinal of Water Zinedine eye at the tense "Pink" Isandro.

What's the point?

Their Theocracy isn't so petty as to do anything to the Holy Kingdom just because of this leaked information.

"What? Is what you said wrong?"

Tang Zheng seemed oblivious to the increasingly chilly atmosphere, smiling as he looked at the Cardinal of Wind Dominic:

"Of course, I am not a member of the Theocracy, and there may be forces and methods involved that I do not understand, but one thing is certain."

"Summoning the Principality is very difficult, even in a short time... no, it will probably take much longer."

"One month, two months? Or is it half a year before I can continue summoning?"

Although Tang Zheng said this, he was absolutely certain in his heart.

In [The Black Scripture], there are no Divine System Magic Caster in the "Hero Realm". The Six Miko Princesses who are secretly used as tools are all Arcane System Magic Caster.

New World is not a "YGGDRASIL" game!

Divine System requires self-awareness and a heartfelt belief in a particular god, a condition that a priestess, used as a tool, cannot meet.

This made Tang Zheng even more certain.

The Nigun and the leader of [Sunlight Scripture] are both only at the Fourth-Tier rank of the Divine System, and the entire squad, including the reserves, has less than 100 people.

The six Cardinal had different expressions at this moment, and exchanged a subtle glance with each other.

It was totally predictable!

The Fourth-Tier Magic Caster were unable to withstand the power of the "Great Ritual" and were all on the verge of death after activating it once.

This is not a simple injury!

It's not a kind of mental depression or damage, but rather a negative impact that they can't even identify!

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

There is a way to remove this anomaly. The most direct method is to kill them and then revive them with Resurrection Magic, but that would be like drinking poison to quench thirst!

It's better to wait for them to recover gradually.

According to their plan,

The Theocracy will focus on cultivating Divine System Magic Caster who can summon Angel. It will take at least 20 years to cultivate a certain number of outstanding talents.

If we extend the timeline to several decades or even a century later, the power of "Assimilation Potion" can truly be unleashed.

This is why, despite valuing Tang Zheng so highly, they haven't shown excessive eagerness, as it involves plans spanning decades or even longer.

While it may be useful in the short term, it's not enough to change anything immediately.

"Team Leader Tang, what are you trying to say?"

The Cardinal of Fire Berenice placed her hands together on the conference table and smiled as if the snow were melting in spring.

The Cardinal of Darkness Maximilian looked up, his round-framed glasses gleaming faintly, his face expressionless. "Don't forget, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss ' Assimilation Potion '."

"Team Leader Tang, what you're saying has strayed from the main point."

"That's right, it's meaningless."

"This gentleman from the Holy Kingdom, the next meeting will be between our Theocracy and this Team Leader Tang. Please leave the meeting room."

One after another, bland, emotionless voices rang out.

"Pink" Isandro's face darkened. Such a blatant expulsion ignited a surge of anger within him, but even more so, a sense of powerlessness.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now."

"Pink" Isandro took a deep breath, stood up, and left.

But the next moment...

Snap!

Tang Zheng placed his hand on "Pink" Isandro's shoulder and shook his head helplessly at the six Cardinal.

"Your Cardinal, it seems you haven't fully understood my meaning." Tang Zheng sighed, withdrew his hand, and said earnestly:

"As I said at the beginning, the map that Chief Justice Gurid gave me made me deeply aware of the perilous situation we humans are in."

"Assimilation Potion can enhance human strength, then I will naturally do my utmost!"

"Everyone, don't forget, the captain of the Holy Kingdom Kelart, is a true Divine System Magic Caster has stepped into the ' Hero Realm.'"

"Although she's not skilled at summoning Angel, with Captain Kelart's talent, mastering Angel Summoning shouldn't be difficult for her!"

--In an instant.

A bright light shone in Isandro's "Pink" eyes.

The six Cardinal were all taken aback, their expressions unreadable.

Tang Zheng stared at the group, a cold smile playing on his lips.

You keep talking about doing this for humanity, so how about teaching the Holy Kingdom the methods of the "Great Ritual"?

"Great Ritual" are a means that can only be used by nations at the national level, and among all the nations of humanity, only the Slane Theocracy possesses this method.

If Fluder had performed a "Great Ritual," the "Longevity Magic Ritual" he activated would have been completely different.

A brief silence.

Tang Zheng knew that this alone was not enough to bring the Holy Kingdom to a position of equality with the Slane Theocracy.

The Unassailable one's own strength.

To leave the Slane Theocracy easily, and even to exert subtle influence over both countries afterward, the entire process must proceed without anyone noticing.

That would require bringing the Holy Kingdom to a level where it can compete on equal footing with the Slane Theocracy!

When the "benefits" offered are large enough.

Even the Six Cardinals, including the Slane Theocracy, would compromise.

"Deputy Commander Isandro."

Tang Zheng turned his head and suddenly spoke.

"Lord Tang... Your Excellency Tang, please speak." Unbeknownst to him, "Peach-colored" Isandro had changed his form of address, his tone now carrying a newfound respect.

He suddenly realized that what Lord Tang had said the night before was not empty talk; the other party was actually considering the Holy Kingdom's interests.

This Mr. Tang...

"Pink" Isandro's eyes held a hint of awe; for a moment, he didn't know how to describe the other person.

"How long is the interval between each activation of your country's National Treasure-class magical artifact, the ' Crown of the Holy King ', before it can be activated again?"

Tang Zheng asked.

This level of intelligence is a state secret, and should be kept under wraps at any time, even in the face of a death threat.

Even "Pink" Isandro believed that he would defend the country's secrets with his life.

But at that very moment!

Everyone present seemed to have realized something.

"Half a month!"

"It can be used about once every two weeks!" "Pink" Isandro unconsciously clenched his fist, his emotions running high, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion.

The Cardinal, who had been relatively calm just moments before, suddenly changed their expressions completely. They looked at each other with equally excited emotions, as if they wanted to talk.

"Oh, half a month?"

Tang Zheng nodded, a look of reminiscence on his face. "During the Abelion Hills Incident, the magical item ' The Crown of the Holy King ' left a very deep impression."

"If I remember correctly, I can summon 128 Angel Guardian, 64 Flame Archangel, and 32 Peace Authority Angel in one go, for a total of 224."

That brings us to this.

Tang Zheng paused, glancing at the others present. "These summoned Angel, if they use my ' Assimilation Potion '..."

"448 Angel can be created each month, and in a year, that's..."

The conversation wasn't over yet.

"5376 Angel!"

"In one year, we can create 3072 Angel Guardian, 1536 Flame Archangel, and 768 Peace Authority Angel!"

Light Cardinal Yvon's gaunt face was filled with emotion as he clenched his fists tightly and rapidly uttered a series of numbers.

Splash--

A sense of unease permeated the entire conference room.

The Cardinal, disregarding the fact that the people of the Holy Kingdom were right across from them, quickly lowered their voices and began to talk, their excitement and exhilaration palpable.

Since entering the conference hall.

Having always maintained a very low profile, with droopy eyelids and not even wanting to speak, "Pink" Isandro straightened his spine at this moment.

Tang Zheng could even notice the veins on the other person's arm that were bulging involuntarily.

In the eyes of "Pink" Isandro, flames seemed to burn, even faintly revealing a bloodthirsty light and madness.

The first impression they give is that they're always ready to fight!

"Pink" Isandro stared at the Cardinal opposite him, a hint of murderous intent unconsciously flashing in his eyes.

He was definitely going to fight to the death!!

5376 Angel that can exist indefinitely—that's a powerful force capable of destroying a nation!

Moreover, this is only temporary!

They can produce so many Angel every year, if they obtain the "Great Ritual" techniques mastered by the Slane Church.

With Kelart's help, their Holy Kingdom can also create powerful Angel like the "Principality"!

"Only 5,000 Angel?"

A hint of disdain reached everyone's ears.

The thought in everyone's mind paused.

They all stared wide-eyed at Tang Zheng, as if to say, "Do you even understand what this power represents?!"

You need to know.

Even in the Baharuth Empire, which boasts the strongest military force, the average level of soldiers in its elite legions is only around level 7 to 10.

The cost of summoning an Angel is incomparable to the time and resources required to train an elite soldier.

Tang Zheng was indeed somewhat disgusted. These low-ranking Angel would be of no use whatsoever in the future fight against Bone Lord, but for the humans of this New World...

Indeed, a powerful force has been added out of nowhere!

"Tang, about this matter..."

The Cardinal of Water Zinedine, spoke softly, with an unusually gentle tone.

The current situation has exceeded their original expectations. The Holy Kingdom, which they had taken for granted, actually possesses such great potential.

If this happened in another country...

Their first thought was to seize the Holy Kingdom's national treasures, but this was Slane Theocracy, a "Human Supremacy Doctrine" state.

"Things are not as simple as you all think."

Tang Zheng, completely unconcerned, interrupted again.

Just this once.

Neither the Six Cardinal nor "Pink" Isandro showed any dissatisfaction; instead, they all quietly looked at Tang Zheng, waiting for what would happen next.

"The Angel summoned by the magical item ' The Crown of the Holy King ' are different from ordinary Angel."

"Angel Simply put, the caster can freely control Angel summoned normally or using Magic Scroll."

"The Angel summoned by this item are neutral monsters. If they remain for an extended period, you will need to consider how to control Angel."

Tang Zheng spoke calmly, offering a reminder to the enthusiastic crowd:

"Also, have you all considered the Assimilator? There are thousands of Angel involved!"

The Six Cardinals were briefly taken aback, their expressions varying; some showed thoughtful expressions, while others appeared completely unconcerned.

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

This time.

The six Cardinal were no longer as indifferent as before.

With a "click".

Tang Zheng took an enlarged potion bottle from the magic belt around his waist and slammed it onto the conference table.

All eyes turned to the translucent medicine bottle, inside which were tiny, translucent, light blue eggs, each about the size of a fingernail.

"This was an unexpected find in the Abelion Hills; it's the eggs of the Demi-Human Species Frogman," Tang Zheng explained, facing the puzzled looks of the crowd.
