chapter 354 part 2
The loose black hood covering his head hid his forehead. After giving Tang Zheng a flat, expressionless look, he said, "Please enter."
The Heroic Realm?
The dense wave of magic power that washed over him allowed him to instantly determine the man's power.
Not only that.
The invisible magic power emanating from the middle-aged man was filled with the power of the four conventional elements. The man was undoubtedly proficient in elemental magic.
Otherwise, he wouldn't radiate such strong four-elemental energy!
Tang Zheng had two classes that provided bonuses to elemental magic, giving him a natural sensitivity to elemental energies.
The Heroic Realm! Specializes in four-elemental magic!
The Slane Theocracy's overall strength was the greatest, but the number of powerful individuals who had stepped into the "Heroic Realm" was limited. It wasn't hard to deduce who fit this description.
This middle-aged man was likely the Third Seat of the Black Scripture, codenamed "Four Great Elements"!
Tang Zheng walked into the great hall, not yet having recovered from the shock of his deduction that this member of the Black Scripture, "Four Great Elements," was here.
Then he saw an angel, over four meters tall, with a massive body, continuously radiating a holy light.
"A Dominion Authority?"
Tang Zheng's heart was calm, but he feigned a stunned expression.
He had already sensed a dense fluctuation of holy energy, so seeing this Dominion Authority now wasn't a surprise.
However.
As he entered the great hall, two gazes fell upon him, and "Four Great Elements," who had opened the door, was also staring at him.
"May the radiance of the Gods shine upon all. Welcome, Leader Tang."
An old and serene voice called out.
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the Dominion Authority and looked towards a round table in the center of the great hall. Two figures wearing tall hats were seated there.
"I didn't expect to meet two Cardinals."
Tang Zheng continued to feign surprise, quickly adding, "It is my honor."
"I'm afraid there were some misunderstandings in the process of inviting you, Leader Tang."
"We deeply apologize, but due to certain grave reasons, we had no choice but to invite you here."
The elderly Cardinal who had spoken continued, "Leader Tang, please have a seat."
"Alright, I am also quite curious myself." Tang Zheng shrugged and walked towards the round table in the center.
As Tang Zheng sat down.
The atmosphere in the hall grew solemn. On the right side of the great hall, there was a huge glass window, and bright sunlight shone through it, landing perfectly on the round table where they sat.
"Four Great Elements" stood silently behind the two Cardinals. Further back, the tall Dominion Authority hovered in mid-air.
Tang Zheng sat directly opposite the side representing the Slane Theocracy. At a glance, the scene presented a strong, oppressive feeling.
"This old man is named Sinedine, and I serve as the Water Cardinal."
He was an old man as withered as a piece of kindling, with a sallow complexion, looking as if he had one foot in the grave. Yet, within his eyes, narrowed to slits, a glint of wisdom flickered.
"This is the Earth Cardinal, Raymond. This is his turf, hehe."
Water Cardinal Sinedine spoke in a joking tone, breaking the serious atmosphere in the air.
Earth Cardinal Raymond nodded calmly in response.
The two Cardinals before him.
Their auras were not particularly strong.
Water Cardinal Sinedine was likely a Fourth Tier faith-based magic caster, while for Earth Cardinal Raymond, Tang Zheng noticed the rather strong body hidden beneath his loose robes.
He was most likely a warrior-type character. Moreover, Earth Cardinal Raymond's aura was stronger.
"Greetings, Your Eminences, the Cardinals."
Tang Zheng replied, his gaze sweeping imperceptibly over Earth Cardinal Raymond's fingers.
There were obvious calluses on the man's thumb, but it was clear that these calluses had smoothed out considerably, a sign that he hadn't wielded a weapon for a long time.
Between the two Cardinals, although Earth Cardinal Raymond's aura was stronger, the one who posed a real threat was the amiable Water Cardinal Sinedine.
Also!
"Four Great Elements," standing behind them, was clearly serving as a guard.
"It may be rude of me to say this."
Tang Zheng didn't intend to let them control the conversation and spoke first, "But could you please tell me directly the purpose of inviting me to the Theocracy?"
Hearing this, Water Cardinal Sinedine gave a gentle smile.
"Very well."
"Leader Tang, would you mind if this old man takes the liberty of his age and calls you Tang directly?" Water Cardinal Sinedine said with a smile.
"Of course." Tang Zheng didn't mind the form of address.
"Tang, you must be aware that the reason we invited you to the Theocracy is because of the Blend Potion you created."
Water Cardinal Sinedine showed no embarrassment that the Blend Potion had been snatched from the hands of the Holy Kingdom's people. Instead, he spoke quite naturally.
"We have discovered that the effect of the Blend Potion has the potential to drastically increase the power of the Theocracy... no, of all humanity."
Water Cardinal Sinedine's voice gradually grew serious.
"Ahem."
Earth Cardinal Raymond coughed lightly, leaned forward, and stared at Tang Zheng.
"This Dominion Authority behind us—I imagine you have already seen one during the Undead disturbance in the Abelion Hills, Leader Tang."
"You have even experienced its power firsthand, so you should understand how formidable this type of angel is."
"Naturally."
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he glanced at the Dominion Authority behind them.
He suddenly noticed a problem.
The state of this Dominion Authority was somewhat strange, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on what was odd about it.
"Leader Tang, you can summon two angels, so you should be very clear about the tier levels of angels. The 'Dominion Authority' is not a power that humans can summon through normal means."
"Even with the abilities of our Theocracy, it requires us to mobilize the entire nation and employ special methods. Only then can we summon this Highest Tier Angel, which possesses the power of a Demon God."
A trace of excitement had unknowingly crept into Earth Cardinal Raymond's voice.
"Tang, how long do you think this powerful Dominion Authority has existed?" Water Cardinal Sinedine took over the conversation with a light chuckle.
Before Tang Zheng could respond, Water Cardinal Sinedine answered his own question: "From the moment it was summoned until now, half a month has already passed."
The atmosphere in the great hall suddenly fell silent.
Even "Four Great Elements," who had remained aloof the entire time, subconsciously took a deep look at Tang Zheng.
No matter how strong an angel is, it will always disappear after being summoned. Expending vast resources to summon it is, in effect, a waste of those resources.
Half a month?
Tang Zheng was taken aback. This time, he was genuinely surprised, not just pretending.
He had experimented with the effect of the Blend Potion many times and knew that even in the blended state, there was a time limit.
