Chapter 356: A Toy? He Anticipated the Worst-Case Scenario from the Start
Zesshi Zetsumei’s heterochromatic black and white eyes curiously watched the figure hidden behind the two Monitoring Dominion Angels.
Her brown and black boots stepped onto the marble floor.
Cardinal of Water Sinedine and Cardinal of Earth Raymond were completely unable to perceive Zesshi Zetsumei’s movement.
In an instant!
Zesshi Zetsumei bypassed the two Cardinals and the round table in the center of the hall, appearing before the two Monitoring Dominion Angels as if by teleportation.
The black Cross-Spear Scythe was raised!
Bang! Bang!
The two Monitoring Dominion Angels suddenly dissipated into white points of light.
The black shadow of the weapon came to a halt!
Zesshi Zetsumei held the end of the Cross-Spear Scythe with a single hand, the two-meter-long weapon held perfectly still and straight in mid-air.
At the very tip of the Cross-Spear Scythe, the sharp, silver-and-black spearhead radiated a grim, icy light, a mere five centimeters from the tip of Tang Zheng’s nose!
“—Wait!”
“Stop.”
The expressions of Cardinal of Water Sinedine and Cardinal of Earth Raymond changed completely as they scrambled to intervene.
The "Integration Potion" developed by Tang Zheng was of monumental significance to the Slane Theocracy—no… to all of humanity.
Although it currently had many restrictions, if given a few decades, or even a century, the effects of the "Integration Potion" would undoubtedly elevate the very foundation of the human race!
Cold sweat beaded on the two Cardinals' foreheads. They were both nervous and extremely anxious, terrified that Zesshi Zetsumei would cause irreparable damage.
Even so.
The two of them, Cardinal of Water Sinedine included, only dared to stand their ground, not making any extraneous movements.
The girl before them, who appeared to be only in her teens, was the most powerful existence in the Slane Theocracy.
—She was the guardian god of humanity!
Judging by her appearance alone, no one would likely believe it.
The girl’s true age was greater than the combined age of the two old men. To be precise, she had existed in the Slane Theocracy since before they were even born.
Their status as the "Six Great Cardinals" was the highest position in the Slane Theocracy, making them nominally this girl’s superiors, but no one thought of it that way.
Even a high-and-mighty Cardinal had to summon a certain resolve when facing this girl. Although they knew she wouldn’t harm them, one still had to be mentally prepared when facing a powerful carnivorous animal.
Hiss—
The Cross-Spear Scythe remained suspended in mid-air, its incredibly sharp tip faintly hissing as it grated against the air!
Tang Zheng’s gaze fell upon the sharp spearhead not far from his nose. He tilted his head back slightly, his face a mixture of grimness and calm.
This was a weapon that looked extremely sharp, like the scythe of a death god!
The shaft and the three blades of varying sizes were primarily black. A portion of the sharp edges was silver-white, while the rest of the surface was covered in a special black metal and mysterious silver-striped patterns!
Exquisite, mysterious.
Anyone could see that this weapon was extraordinary.
It was, of course, a game item from YGGDRASIL, and moreover, it was the weapon of one of the Six Great Gods, the Dark God.
However.
Tang Zheng knew clearly that this weapon, which looked like it belonged to a warrior, was in fact just a magic staff in the shape of a weapon.
It was a cosplay-like item from the game YGGDRASIL, not even the main weapon of the Dark God player.
That Dark God player's main weapon was likely confiscated by the Eight Greed Kings after he died in battle.
But even so!
The sharpness displayed by this magic item already far surpassed the strength of otherworld magic-item-type weapons.
“You canceled the angel summoning yourself?” Zesshi Zetsumei asked indifferently.
“That’s right.”
Tang Zheng replied, “I don’t think someone who can easily destroy an angel on the level of a demon god would be stopped by two Monitoring Dominion Angels.”
It was a very honest answer.
Zesshi Zetsumei’s expression remained devoid of emotion. She had no idea how many compliments, praises, and words of adoration she had heard over the years.
“Did you make this interesting toy?” Zesshi Zetsumei stared at Tang Zheng’s black hair and asked curiously.
A toy?
The highest-class angels were actually being called toys.
A bitter smile flashed across Cardinal of Water Sinedine's face, but it was overshadowed by worry and nervousness.
The situation had spiraled completely out of their control!
“First, I only created the 'Integration Potion'.”
“Second, it is not a toy!”
Tang Zheng leaned forward, his nose almost touching the tip of the Cross-Spear Scythe. His voice was low. “Is this the objective of your Theocracy!”
“What do you take this potion for?”
His tone was not one of anger, but more of disappointment.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold.
“Hah?”
Zesshi Zetsumei clicked her tongue lightly, her gaze shifting from Tang Zheng’s black hair. She spoke with ill intent, “Strange.”
“You don’t seem to be afraid of me? You should clearly understand the gap in our power levels, yet you show no fear. Do you have some kind of trump card?”
“If you need to prepare, I can wait.”
Zesshi Zetsumei spoke as if to herself, the corners of her mouth turning up as her heterochromatic eyes filled with anticipation.
It had been a long time since she had encountered such a lively person. Only when someone new joined the Black Scripture would an interesting fellow appear.
However, those weaklings had never seen her true strength, so their self-importance was normal. But the person before her seemed different.
“No.”
Tang Zheng shook his head. He had no desire to clash with Zesshi Zetsumei, at least not now when it was unnecessary.
“An ordinary person cannot comprehend the power of someone who has stepped into the 'Heroic Realm.' Only those who have reached this level understand that it is an insurmountable chasm of power.”
“Just like now, our roles have simply been reversed. Since resistance and escape are both useless, why should I be afraid?”
“To use the doctrine of your Theocracy's Dark God, death is the ultimate fate of all living beings.”
“How boring.”
Zesshi Zetsumei looked away in disappointment. “So you’ve just given up. A weakling who can’t even provide a bit of fun.”
“You don’t even make me want to act.”
Clack!
Zesshi Zetsumei bent her forearm. As the blade of the Cross-Spear Scythe cut through the air with a soft whistle, she slung the weapon back onto her shoulder.
Seeing this, Cardinal of Water Sinedine and Cardinal of Earth Raymond couldn’t help but relax internally. They wanted to speak, but they swallowed the words they were about to say.
They both had the authority to view the analysis files on Zesshi Zetsumei's personality.
So they knew.
It was best not to speak at this moment, or it could very well trigger some unknown chain reaction.
Continuing the discussion with this Leader Tang about the potion would probably be even more troublesome now.
Cardinal of Water Sinedine sighed deeply in his heart.
He could roughly imagine the despair, confusion, and powerlessness this Leader Tang was feeling in the face of the mighty Zesshi Zetsumei.
“Ah, so troublesome.”
Zesshi Zetsumei turned around, weapon on her shoulder, and muttered something under her breath. A strand of white hair fell naturally from the divide between her black and white hair, its length almost touching the floor.
“Sorry for interrupting your discussion.”
