Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 483 The Shocking Invisible Contest of the Slane Theocracy
Chaos!

The Slane Theocracy was in complete chaos, with emotions such as shock, anger, confusion, and panic filling the hearts of the five high priests.

The guardian deity of the theocracy!

Humanity's strongest trump card—Zetsuki Zetsumei... has actually been captured!

Every high priest who had just received the message.

They all felt like they were dreaming, but the reality before them threw the usually composed and courteous priests into complete disarray.

The existence of Zesshi Zesshi is of great significance!
It's not just about military protection; it's about humanity's hope!
Now that he has been captured, in the eyes of the five high priests, it almost represents the possible destruction of the theocracy and a sign of the extinction of humanity.

While the high priests did their best to block the news, they also investigated what had happened and prepared to order the captain of the God-Man, the second strongest force in the theocracy, and the [Black Scripture] to pursue and investigate!
result.

Has the God-like Captain disappeared too?

The second piece of news was devastating, causing High Priestess Senedin to nearly faint on the spot.

If we were to describe it using words...

At this moment, the only feeling that the priest Nagato had in mind was, "The sky has fallen."

The water priest, Sinedin, quickly realized that Zesshi Zesshi's capture was very likely related to Marshal Gheel.

Do not!
It is inevitably related.

"Traitor! Traitor!"

"The most heinous criminals of the Holy Kingdom!" The High Priest of the Water, Sinedin, recovered from his dizziness, raised his finger tremblingly, and let out a shrill curse.

The other four high priests then finally understood what had happened.

The atmosphere became tense.

A dignified Marshal of the Nation!
He was actually a spy hiding in the country, a traitor!

No matter how unbelievable it may seem, the events unfolding before us are facts that leave everyone speechless!

"Sinedin!!"

"You old man, you have to take responsibility for this!"

"If you hadn't relayed that traitor's message, how could that child have been so easily deceived!"

"Whether Marshal Ger is a traitor or not is still uncertain!"

"I don't understand, what benefit does Marshal Geir gain from doing this?"

"Shut up! Marshal Geir, whether a traitor or not, deserves to die!!"

“I understand. Given this situation, I will resign from my position as High Priest and atone with my death.”

The air fell silent.

The High Priestess of Fire, Benedictine, Maximilian, Ion, Dominic, and Raymond remained silent, their faces dark.

Faced with the possibility of the destruction of the religious state and the extinction of humanity!
Even if the Water Priestess Sinedin commits suicide!
This could not offset the calamity that brought shame upon the six great gods who saved humanity, and whose grace has continued to this day, but was severed in their time!

boom!
The conference room door was pushed open quickly, making a harsh, heavy sound.

"Tenjho Tenge," dressed in a ninja outfit, strode into the conference room, a reckless and seriously impolite act.

He would have been scolded long ago if this had happened before!
But now.

Priestess Nagato quickly turned her head, her eyes filled with expectation and worry as she looked over.

"My esteemed High Priests..."

The figure of "Heaven Above and Earth" appeared in front of the conference table in an instant, like a black afterimage, knelt on one knee, and spoke respectfully.

The irritable voice of the Wind God Chief Dominic rang out, interrupting, "No need for these useless honorifics, nonsense!"

"The 'Astrological Horizons' exploration magic has confirmed the locations of Lord Zetsuki and the captain."

Without further ado, "Heaven and Earth" spoke rapidly and seriously:
"The captain is in pursuit. There are three enemies. Two are dressed as ninjas, and the other is not Marshal Gear, but an unknown alien species."

A few faint sounds of relief could be heard!
The chief priest was most worried.

Not only were Zesshi and Zesshi captured by the enemy, but even Captain Kamijou was captured by the enemy; the worst-case scenario did not occur.

It's unclear why Captain Shenren would pursue them ahead of time.

But now is not the time to dwell on this!
Which direction did they leave in?

"It's heading south."

"The south? Isn't that the work of the Nationalist government?"

High Priest Ion slammed his fist on the table, roaring anxiously, "The Dark Codex, deploy immediately!"

"Heaven and Earth" raised its head, the mask covering the lower half of its face trembled, clearly showing hesitation.

"What are you still doing here?" Even the usually kind-hearted High Priestess Benedict almost shouted anxiously.

"The enemy and the captain are moving too fast!"

"Now, they are approaching our southern border."

"Heaven and Earth" hurriedly explained helplessly, "Even if everyone were to mobilize now, we still wouldn't be able to catch up."

"The 'Infinite Magic Power' and the 'Four Elements,' which control teleportation magic, are also all on the battlefields between empires and kingdoms."

"Even if we send the message out now, it will take them at least a day to receive the intelligence..."

To the end.

The voice of "heaven and earth" grew softer and softer.

"……hateful!"

Dark High Priest Maximilian clenched his fist tightly, the lenses on his nose gleaming coldly: "At this time!"

"We can only place our hopes on darkness."

"The key question—who is the enemy?"

"The timing of the attack and the arrangements made by the other side were clearly well-prepared."

"I suspect it's related to the State of Review..."

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two demons, Hanzo, moved silently and swiftly across the ground, leaving no trace behind.

One night.

The demon Hanzo, carrying both Zesshi Zesshi and Nigyoku, crossed a small part of the theocracy and arrived at the border.

For mercenary monsters.

Although there are no time restrictions, they still have the same consumption of stamina, magic power, skills, and other resources as normal living beings.

The two monsters, Hanzo, have noticeably slowed down compared to the beginning.

of course!

As the captain of the pursuing team, the god-like figure was also severely exhausted, but with Tang Zheng's secret assistance, he was still able to stay close behind the monster Hanzo.

The surrounding environment is gradually becoming desolate!

Looking into the distance, you can already see a vast sea of ​​trees stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Still following?" The double phantom lay on the back of the monster Hanzo, its aura no longer as weak as when it deactivated its clone transformation.

"Yes!"

The monster Hanzo gave a concise response.

The double phantom's face had no features, only a black hole, and its expression was impossible to analyze; it only glanced down at the neck.

The original magic necklace has disappeared!
"Treetop Leap (Copy)" can only be used three times. After that, it will shatter and dissipate on its own, just like the previous magic ring.

All three teleportation opportunities have been used up.

They could no longer use teleportation to quickly return to the southern desert.

however!
"Hooray... mission accomplished."

The second phantom, instead of being nervous, let out a strange chuckle and turned to look at the other side, where Zetsuki Zetsumei, also unconscious and being carried on the shoulder of the demon Hanzo, stood.
"Copy and transform!"

next moment.

The shape of the double phantom began to distort, and in just a few breaths, it had transformed into the appearance of absolute death.

"Mere lowly insects..." The double phantom, transformed into Zesshi Zesshi, wore a fanatical, excited smile on its small, delicate face:
"spread!"

The number of times a double phantom can transform is related to its own racial level. Its racial level is only 15, which means it only has 15 opportunities to copy its appearance.

It begins in the Elf Kingdom.

A series of clones and disguises were used up almost all of their attempts!

As a mercenary monster, its value has been maximized, and even if it returns to the [Floating City], it will be of no use.

All that awaits is death!
The Double Phantom is not afraid of death; it is summoned to fulfill the mission of "Butler" Imralis.

A death without meaning!

It does not accept it.

Hmm... why am I thinking about all this?

The double phantom looked at Hanzo, a fellow monster mercenary who showed no emotion, and wondered if it was somewhat different from them.

It's not about strength or rank.

Is it wisdom?

Or is it thought?

The double phantom briefly showed a hint of doubt before dismissing the thought as a "meaningless thought" unrelated to the mission.

The "Double Phantom" race can read the surface-level thoughts of others, and it is precisely for this reason that they indirectly affect themselves.

To some extent.

This race is more intelligent than most other races, but such a race simply doesn't exist in this other world.

high altitude.

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Hmm?"

Below, on the ground, the two demons, Hanzo, suddenly separated and moved to the left and right.

The monster Hanzo carries the exact same Zesshi Zesshi on his shoulder.

"A clumsy trick? Trying to get away with it?"

Seeing this, Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow and easily pinpointed the location of the true location of Absolute Death and Absolute Destruction:
“The magic mark cannot be faked.”

"information"

Tang Zheng contacted the captain of the pursuing divine beings below, intending to actually take action. So far, he hadn't detected any other enemies. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something:
"...I see, is that the purpose?"

"left!"

The captain of the divine being suddenly heard the voice in his mind, and his expression turned serious: "Accelerate the flow of water!"

A faint blue light flashed.

During the rapid charge, the superhuman captain nimbly adjusted his direction, quickly chasing to the left.

"Have they caught up?"

"The number remains one."

The double illusion communicates with the monster Hanzo.

so far!
The monster Hanzo only detected one pursuer, a result that the Double Phantom was skeptical of.

Regardless of whether there are more deeply hidden pursuers, at least it can force them to split up!
Time passes little by little.

About half an hour later, when the distance was far enough.

The monster Hanzo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

This almost caused the double phantom on his shoulder to be thrown off, forcing him to awkwardly grab onto the blue-black hem of the monster Hanzo's clothes.

"Let's do it."

The double phantom used the face of absolute death, its mouth opening in an exaggerated arc:
"May the will of the God-King endure forever!"

Wow!
The demon Hanzo coldly lifted the double phantom on his shoulder, grabbed its neck with one hand and its hair with the other, and twisted it forcefully.

There was a crisp sound of "click".

The double phantom's head was twisted off, and its life force dissipated.

When a mercenary monster dies, it does not leave a corpse like a normal creature; instead, it dissipates along with its body.

Do it all.

Without hesitation, the demon Hanzo turned around, pushed off the ground with both feet, and prepared to charge towards the pursuing God Captain.

"Magic Without Chanting - Time Stop!"

For an instant.

The monster Hanzo stood frozen in place.

Tang Zheng's figure appeared out of thin air behind the demon Hanzo, from a perspective that the demon could not observe.

The concealment was automatically dispelled due to the launch of a magical attack.

"I was a little uncertain at first."

Tang Zheng sneered as he observed his surroundings while silently calculating the time it would take for the "time stop" to be lifted.

3.5 seconds have passed!
"Breakthrough in Magic Without Chanting Resistance: Crimson Nova!"

As soon as the demon Hanzo regained his mobility, his entire body was ignited by crimson lotus flames, turning him into a fireball.

The figure in the flames struggled to turn around.

"Magic Without Chanting: Breakthrough in Resistance - Polar Claw!"

The ice-elemental sharp claws pierced through the ball of fire, tearing the heavily wounded monster Hanzo's body apart with a tearing attack.

The attack of both ice and fire elemental magic left the monster Hanzo with almost no time to struggle before he completely vanished.

It can completely disguise itself as someone else!

Just as he had predicted, it was a double illusion.

"The true purpose of the Floating City is not to fight to the death, but to test the power of the Theocracy."

Tang Zheng looked at the empty ground, now only bearing traces of magic:
"Two Hanzos and one Double Phantom, all of them are monster mercenaries. This means that from the very beginning, [Floating City] was prepared to sacrifice three monster mercenaries to test the waters."

No wonder these three demon mercenaries dared not infiltrate the depths of the theocracy; the [Floating City] probably has very limited understanding of the power left behind by the six gods.

"I was originally planning to use charm magic to interrogate him."

Tang Zheng shook his head regretfully, thinking to himself, "The strange behavior of the demon Hanzo killing the double phantom is not hard to guess."

"By using the time of death of the double phantom and the time when the demon Hanzo was killed next, we can deduce the strength of the pursuers and thus further determine the power of the theocracy."

He killed the monster Hanzo immediately.

This was to give the [Floating City] the illusion that the pursuers were extremely powerful.

rustle!
Accompanied by the faint sound of crumpled, dry wood rubbing together.

Captain Shenren arrived at this moment, and was stunned when he saw Tang Zheng. He scanned the surroundings but did not find Jue Shi Jue Ming.

"This is……"

Captain God's breathing became a little rapid, and he hesitated before speaking.

"I did it on purpose."

Tang Zheng said calmly, "The one who took away Zetsu Zetsumei was a demon called Hanzo, similar to a ninja like 'Tenjho Tenge'."

"Since we don't have the means to use teleportation magic, there's no need to worry about losing them."

The one who used magic was clearly the double illusion. Since the opponent was already dead, the remaining monster Hanzo could only retreat by moving on his legs.

Tang Zheng can now teleport there with a single spell.

"Sir, what should we do next?" The captain of the divine man breathed a slight sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

"Wait." Tang Zheng.

From beginning to end, what truly intimidated the [Floating City] was never its superficial power, but rather its world-class artifacts!
This is also what the True Dragon King and the player factions care about most!
