This Is Impossible! Doppelgänger Infiltrates the Theocracy

"Living Wood Armor!" the Blue Sky Dragon Lord roared, chanting as a semi-transparent, resilient luster emanated from his entire body.

"Thorn Armor!"

No nonsense at all!

The two sides clashed immediately upon contact, engaging in a near-bloody battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three figures, one in green and two in white, clashed fiercely in the air, their roaring collisions striking the battlefield below like tangible hammer blows.

The Dragon Fear's might erupted unrestrainedly.

The Berserk of the breath.

A radiant, sacred, and purifying power.

Several terrifying forces released suffocating shockwaves and pressures that suffocated everyone on both sides of the Kingdom.

Scenes from Tales of Heroes and biographies are coming to life!

This was a breathtaking battle that surpassed everyone's expectations.

Ordinary soldiers, let alone looking up, felt a sense of impending death just from hearing the dragon's roar.

On the battlefield.

Only a few dared to look up and gaze directly at the battle raging overhead.

"This is it, this is it!"

Fluder's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched, and he looked up at the sky with barely suppressed excitement:

"... The power of Seventh-Tier Magic?"

It's only a difference of one rank, yet the difference is earth-shattering.

He seemed to have glimpsed the Abyss of magic!

Compared to Fluder.

Although "Infinite Magic" and "Four Elements" are weaker in strength, their knowledge is much greater.

Even so!

Their expressions remained grave and grim.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"These are two of the Highest-Tier Angel... why, why..." Beneath the hood of "Infinite Magic," a messy, thick blue ponytail was visible. Her voice was filled with shock and resentment as she continued to mutter curses under her breath.

The smile he had on when Power Strike the Blue Sky Dragon Lord vanished completely.

In the Evil Tree Incident.

[The Black Scripture] almost entirely lost its members once; the enemy was the Silver Knight, suspected to be one of the legendary Thirteen Heroes.

Although it's unclear why the other party didn't die, there's a suspicion that the Silver Knight who appeared might be a descendant of the former Silver Knight.

Regardless of their true identity.

The five Cardinal all suspected that the other was from the Council State.

This was originally just speculation.

The Council State suddenly took action, forcibly triggering a war between the Kingdom and the Empire, which turned the speculation into reality!

The Theocracy understood that this was Council State... no, it was a test from the Platinum Dragon Lord.

That's exactly why!

The Theocracy must demonstrate sufficient toughness and strength to curb such spying.

Are you surprised?

The Four Elements raised their heads and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Since the Cardinal have sent two Permanent Angel, they must have realized that the Principality alone cannot defeat the Dragon Lords."

Battle in the sky.

Even "Infinite Magic," a member of the Black Scripture, felt fear upon seeing it.

The "Four Elements" remained much calmer, for they had witnessed far more terrifying battles, and these were merely the aftershocks.

It's several times more powerful than the battle right now!

Boom!

The roaring sound from the sky continued, but the situation was not complicated.

Despite facing a two-on-one attack from two Principality, the Blue Sky Dragon Lord was still able to maintain a certain advantage.

The Principality is ultimately a summoned demon, so its strength is inherently inferior, and its combat style is rather rigid and lacks flexibility.

Before the two of them, representing the "Four Elements," could even get anxious, someone else had already started to panic.

"You two from the Theocracy, this old man is here to help you!"

Fluder strode forward, his face serious and solemn.

"Lord Fluder."

"Lord Fluder."

The two, representing the "Four Elements" and "Infinite Magic," turned to each other and exchanged a glance before bowing and nodding to Fluder.

On this battlefield, the only one qualified to intervene in the fighting is probably this "Guardian God" of the Empire, one of the few Outlier among humanity.

"Group Defense!"

Fluder nodded slightly and took a step forward.

A magical barrier appeared around the two Principality.

"Mental Shock!"

He began chanting again, this time targeting the Blue Sky Dragon Lord.

"Shaking Will!"

"Mana Binding!"

Fluder continued to cast spells.

He doesn't need to inflict any damage on the Blue Sky Dragon Lord; simply affecting its movements will alleviate the pressure on the two Angel and increase their chances of attacking.

He had already noticed it.

These two powerful Principality were not something that the two envoys of the Theocracy could summon.

Seventh-Tier Magic already belongs to the realm of Demon Gods!

The power surpasses anything humans can control, and the ability to summon Angel monsters of this caliber suggests the Theocracy used some kind of ritual!

"Roar!!"

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord felt immense pressure and roared furiously, trying to bypass the two Angel and deal with the swarm of wretched insects below first.

result.

The Principality's reckless fighting style kept him firmly entangled.

Monsters are tireless and feel no pain!

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord's anger was gradually replaced by reason, and he realized that it was pointless for him to entangle with the two demons.

"Verdant Breath!"

Its powerful breath forced a Principality to retreat.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord broke free from the other Principality once more, flapping its dragon wings and retreating rapidly.

"You lowly insect!"

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord ceased his entanglement with the two Angel, retreating as he made a pronouncement in a judgmental tone:

"When the summoning time for the Angel demons ends, I will grant you eternal slumber, so await your death!"

A sound that resounded through the sky.

For the soldiers on the Empire's side, it was not just the Dragon Lords's declaration, but also a countdown to their deaths.

Panic and despair permeated the air!

Seeing that the Blue Sky Dragon Lord had voluntarily retreated.

The two Principality did not continue the pursuit, but instead descended from the sky again, hovering above the heads of the two "Four Elements".

"What are you doing, envoys?"

Why not press your advantage?

Fluder couldn't comprehend what was happening before him, and his voice became more urgent and shrill.

In Fluder's mind, such a powerful summoned monster must have required a huge investment of resources and time to summon through a ritual.

Monsters have a limited lifespan.

To maximize the value of the summoned creatures, it's advantageous to inflict the greatest damage on the Blue Sky Dragon Lord before the summoning time expires.

Ideally, we should be able to completely force them to retreat!

"Lord Fluder."

"Rest assured, the Principality will not disappear as long as he is not defeated." The Four Elements smiled and responded softly.

Fluder grew increasingly bewildered. If the man before him hadn't been an envoy from the Theocracy, he would have thought the other was spouting some kind of nonsense.

Time passed little by little!

One hour.

Two hours.

Five hours.

As evening approached, the Sun Anglerfish began to set.

Two Principality, continuously emitting a gentle, serene light, hovered silently in front of the imperial defenses, illuminating the battlefield.

--This is impossible!!

This idea.

It not only emerged from the heart of the Blue Sky Dragon Lord, but also from Fluder, and even from everyone who had some understanding of magic.

The existence of the Principality has defied everyone's expectations.

"This unusual situation... must be reported to Platinum Dragon Lord!" This was the only thought in the Blue Sky Dragon Lord's mind.

The Kingdom's offensive came to a halt.

The situation gradually became clear to everyone.

The key to victory between the Kingdom and the empire lies in which side, the Blue Sky Dragon Lord or the Principality, can defeat the other first.

Think more deeply!

This is the conflict between the Council State and the Slane Theocracy.

Slane Theocracy and the Theocracy Capital.

In an inconspicuous little hotel.

"Oh."

"Surprised? This hardly breaks any understanding." Tang Zheng stood by the window, gazing at the bustling street, and chuckled after listening to Lainas's report.

The Undead created by Bone Lord from corpses can also exist for a long time.

The astonishment of the people from New World can only be attributed to their lack of knowledge and experience.

"The premature exposure of the Permanent Angel isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"The future Bone Lord's investigation revealed that, given the other party's personality, they might directly suspect that there are powerful individuals within the Theocracy skilled in summoning Angel."

"They might even speculate that there may be an unknown number of high-ranking Angel?"

After understanding the situation on the battlefield.

After finding that the result was not significantly different from his deduction, Tang Zheng cut off contact.

"With the two Principality, plus the assistance of Fluder, this Outlier, even if they can't defeat the Blue Sky Dragon Lord, they can at least hold him off."

"If the Council State wants to continue testing the Theocracy, it can only do so by sending another Dragon Lords or using other methods to break the balance."

Tang Zheng's gaze remained calm; the overall trajectory, even if different from his predictions, wouldn't deviate too much. "The Theocracy also has corresponding countermeasures."

He raised his hands and stretched!

"Speaking of which..."

"The Class Construction for ' God of Death ' Surshana is the same as that for Bone Lord."

"The other side should also be able to create a large number of Undead that can exist for a long time through corpses, so why doesn't the Theocracy have them?"

"There is no such information in the records and classics of the Theocracy." Tang Zheng lowered his arms, crossed them to his chest, and frowned slightly.

He never had an answer to this question!

The Theocracy has no secrets from him anymore; at least so far, he has not discovered any powerful Undead within its Theocracy.

Certainly!

Excluding the level 50 or so "NPC" Red Mummy Cat from the Six Great Gods guilds.

I don't understand.

Tang Zheng wasn't the type to dwell on things, so he simply put them aside for the time being and focused on the task at hand.

Princess Renner's unexpected reminder.

Make him realize it.

Besides manipulating the war between the Kingdom and empires and openly probing the Theocracy, the Platinum Dragon Lord may have other plans.

Tang Zheng appeared in the Theocracy to secretly investigate this matter, as his current strength improvement had reached a bottleneck.

Want to go further.

It requires both "time" and "professional intelligence".

--Mid -Midwater Month.

February 7

The border battle remains deadlocked.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord showed no intention of launching a proactive attack, and the Kingdom's and the empire's armies remained stationed on the battlefield, continuing their confrontation.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, mobilized the God-kin Captain.

He was tasked with directing the intelligence-savvy "Thousand Miles Astrologer" and the [Black Scripture] to conduct a covert investigation of the entire Theocracy Capital.

Unfortunately, we didn't find anything!

In this seemingly calm, yet turbulent situation...

evening.

The fiery clouds in the west were bright and clear.

It is located in a small village less than ten kilometers from the Theocracy Capital of the Slane Theocracy.

Cluck~ Squeak~

The joints of the wooden door are making noise due to excessive friction between the parts.

The old Priest named Paul, with his frail hands, tremblingly closed the church's wooden gate and hunched over as he returned home.

Along the way.

Many villagers greeted him warmly.

Every now and then, people jokingly remark that the church "needs a new successor."

If it were any other time...

Priest Paul would usually respond with a smile, but in recent days he has been responding to the villagers much less.

The villagers all agreed that Priest Paul's hearing was getting worse.

Click!

Push open the door and close it.

Priest Paul lived alone in a sparsely furnished room. Apart from the unusually clean spot where the statues of the Six Great Gods were placed, the other corners appeared cluttered.

The magical "Perpetual Lamp" is activated!

The old Priest Paul straightened his hunched back instantly, and the air of old age emanating from him vanished without a trace.

He didn't want to turn on the magic lamp.

However, if the lights aren't turned on, it will stand out compared to the surrounding villagers!

He was certainly not an inferior human being, much less the real Priest Paul.

It comes from a great and sublime place!

The [Floating City] where the God-King who rule the world reside!

Paul old Priest, disguised in Doppelgänger, looked more anxious and hesitant.

Under the illumination of "Perpetual Lamp".

The shadow suddenly appeared longer.

Immediately afterwards, two level 80 Mercenary Monster, Hanzo, emerged from the shadows and stood on either side of the Doppelgänger's body.

"Intelligence gathering has been completed!"

"Why the Unassailable?"

The two Hanzo, one in front and one behind, spoke at the same time, like twins.

All three were Mercenary Monster, Doppelgänger was only around level 40, far lower than the two Hanzo.

However, based on simple conversations...

The Doppelgänger clearly holds a higher status, and the stronger Hanzo obviously needs to obey the Doppelgänger.

You understand nothing!

The Doppelgänger were equally anxious.

After gathering detailed information about the Elf King from the Great Forest of Evasha, one of Hanzo departed to relay the information back to the Elf King.

It then infiltrated once again into the Theocracy's forces stationed in the Elf Kingdom's forest to conduct a second verification of the intelligence.

I thought it would be over soon.

result.

Hanzo, who had left, returned with the Guardian Horned Rage, and a new mission assigned to him.

"The Theocracy Capital the Daben of the Slane Theocracy!"

"This means that the Core Area, the Six Great Gods of this country, are beings only slightly inferior to the supreme and great God-King."

The Doppelgänger' voices carried a hint of tension and fear:

Even if they are already dead...

"From what I learned at the Starlight Observation Tower, this country also has a Guardian similar to Lord Horned Rage, and even possesses World Item."

"If we get too close, we're very likely to be discovered!"

The two Hanzo visibly tensed upon hearing this.

Only then did it become clear why the Doppelgänger hadn't acted, even though they could easily kill these weak humans.

"The intelligence we've gathered... that being known as the ' God of Death ' died at the hands of the supreme and great God-King..." a Hanzo said in a somber, hoarse voice.

"No!"

The Doppelgänger responded shrilly, somewhat annoyed. "Such a foolish rumor, how could inferior humans believe it?"

"If they are enemies, why didn't that God of Death bring his World Item with him?"

"It is precisely because of these rumors that we cannot easily approach the Core Area!"

It wasn't the rumors that angered it.

Instead, they dared to frame the supreme and great God-King!

Although the Doppelgänger is Mercenary Monster, it is not known for its strength, and therefore serves Lord Imlaris, who is known as its "butler".

The other party was the person in charge of "Starlight Observation Tower," which indirectly exposed it to many secrets!
