During the standoff, Ron counted the number of angels on the other side: seven. The first two were four-winged angels, and the other five were two-winged angels.
With the arrival of the entire God of War Angel Squad, the portal in the sky closed.
"Your Holiness Pope Ron Lance, I, the God of War, have a few questions for you," said the four-winged angel standing on the right.
This angel is probably an adjutant or something similar, while the other silent angel is likely the main person in charge.
Ron said, "Speak, what's the problem? Why doesn't your Pope come to me directly?"
“Your Majesty Ron, His Majesty Harvey is in a difficult position to oversee things, so he sent us here to inquire,” the angel said.
Ron can also directly command Rita the Angel. The Pope on the other side has also obtained similar authority to command the gods, which shows that the Pope of the God of War is quite influential. I'd like to hear his questions.
Ron said, "Speak quickly. This is a battlefield. If they're not here to steal heroic spirits, then everything is fine."
During the conversation, the other five angels killed all the invading sky demons one by one. So far, the demons have not been able to get close to the center of the conversation.
As expected of the angel warriors under the God of War, those five two-winged angels moved swiftly and decisively, possessing formidable combat strength. In close combat, they would surely suffer greatly if surrounded and attacked.
At this point, Ron realized that it seemed the other side wasn't simply there to steal the Heroic Spirits.
I remember in the papal intelligence, the Pope, the God of War, was named Harvey Joel…
As Ron pondered this, the angel voiced the question posed by Pope Harvey, the god of war: "Your Majesty Ron, have you considered the fate of the heroic spirits? The depths of the Source of Law are not a place for warriors. Wouldn't it be better to guide them to become living heroic spirits within the Source of Law, allowing them to roam freely in the outer Source of Law? Fortunately, the churches of all the major gods have branches in the outer Source of Law..."
Listening closely... they were still trying to win over the Heroic Spirits!
However, the other pope was somewhat clever. He chose a more subtle approach. Even during conversations, he didn't directly mention extradition to their Fayuan Church. Instead, he said that the churches of all the major gods have Fayuan branches outside the church.
If Ron truly intended to entrust the heroic spirits to the various churches of the Outer Law Source, then the church of the God of War would certainly be one of the main choices. After all, heroic spirits mostly died in war, and the God of War is very suitable for his divine duties.
Ron is considering it, but there are a few things he needs to verify before making a decision.
“Ron, I also have some questions I’d like to ask your Pope now,” Ron said, while simultaneously observing the angel’s reaction.
Judging from the angel's reaction, Ron had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, the angelic lieutenant on the right said, "Very well, Your Majesty Ron, please ask!"
Indeed, the Pope on the other side was likely located in the Source of Law, given that he could command angels so quickly from such a great distance.
Ron also spent some time at the Source of Law. It seems that the churches of the major gods have figured out some of Ron's methods and tactics back then.
Although they do not use the magic network, they should have similar means. The chief god of each system of gods is also the god of law. He controls a law. The partial authority of the law granted by the god is enough to do many incredible things and stand in the source of law.
Back then, Ron had only just entered the Source of Law and was merely at the Transcendent level, that is, the Transcendent Master realm, while the Pope opposite him was already a Legendary, or even a Demigod, from the very beginning...
It can also be inferred that the witches have relaxed their supervision in recent years.
We have no choice but to cooperate. It's only been a year or two since the disaster started, but the Orc Empire collapsed much earlier. If we don't cooperate, we'll all be doomed.
Originally, only those who passed the Law Source Examination should be allowed to enter the Law Source with their souls, but the fact that various bishops have risen to power within the Law Source already indicates that the various chief gods are somewhat disobeying the rules of the Father God.
As long as the main gods of the God of Laws don't fall into depravity, everything is fine; it's better if they don't follow the rules.
Ron's mind raced. No wonder the Church of Gods reacted so quickly after he had only just led the heroic spirits to their aid. Back then, it was indeed necessary to carefully bring Vivian to the Goddess of the Magic Network to explain everything.
Are there gods watching over us...?
Ron shook his head slightly, putting aside his various speculations for the time being. Through the angel in front of him, he indirectly began discussions with the pope of another major church.
Why didn't the Pope speak directly into Ron's ear? This actually relates to a connection of the source of the Dharma, just as Ron could only connect with things related to himself, such as his own body, relatives, and friends.
It's clear that Ron has no direct relationship with the pope he's negotiating with, while the pope and that angel do have a superior-subordinate relationship.
There are strict requirements for the starting point and the end point of various source techniques. As long as you understand similar principles, you can often use these laws to achieve the effect of leveraging the fulcrum. The obvious manifestation is that distance is often meaningless, because the whole world is a whole from the beginning in the Father God's setting.
From beginning to end... I really hope that more people from this world's faction can make better use of the Source of Law.
Ron asked several questions: "Your Majesty Harvey, are you making preparations at the Legal Source? You've only been preparing for such a short time, or have you been preparing for a long time beforehand? Are there any unforeseen circumstances? How confident are you?"
"..."
"..."
After their conversation, Ron had already made up his mind.
"The decision on where the Heroic Spirits go rests with each of you, but you need to send me a copy of the relevant divine magic principles and so on. If you can do that, I will let the Heroic Spirits under my command choose for themselves."
"Yes, Your Majesty Ron, you have made the right decision." The angel lieutenant on the right spoke in the tone of their pope. At the same time, a book of divine text appeared in the lieutenant's left hand. This should be a record of relevant divine magical techniques.
"There's a possibility of unexpected events during the process of reading the divine scripture," Ron said. "Wait, let's draw up a contract first before giving it to me."
Better safe than sorry. After completing the relevant security agreements and extradition agreements, Ron accepted the Divine Script Book.
Another piece of knowledge has been acquired.
With the protection of several angels and Vivian nearby, he was relatively safe, so Ron began to read the contents of the divine spells.
"Create a divine spring!"
That's incredibly powerful!
Ron became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.
It turns out that the gods were far more prepared for disasters than mortals.
Each of the main gods made different preparations.
The main god of the magic system, the goddess of magic, directly prepared a subordinate god named Delin, woven from magic source threads. In the early years, the goddess Delin's role was even more extraordinary, inheriting the legacy of her father god.
As for the main god of the war lineage, whose divine office is in war, there will be no space for divine springs during times of disaster when war is everywhere. If, by chance, the source of the law can agree to the establishment of a church, the source of the law's special nature can be used to create a divine spring in the source of the law.
It seems that the characteristics of the Source of Law are indeed similar to those of the Divine Kingdom in some aspects. For example, no matter how powerful the soul is, the body can accommodate it, and there will be no situation where the soul and body are separated.
The source of Dharma is suitable for souls just as the divine realm and the abyss are special places that are also suitable for souls.
Business people know they need to reserve warehouse space. The sacred spring, which contains souls and is related to the Holy Spirit, is clearly more important than warehouse space. It's impossible not to prepare in advance, or even ahead of time.
At this moment, a miracle occurred on Ron's small battlefield: a heroic spirit was artificially guided, and this spirit was similar to the Holy Spirit.
However, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary soul to evolve into a Holy Spirit. There are not many angels in each divine kingdom. Since angels already possess legendary or higher strength, it is normal that it is difficult.
If the heroic spirits are truly equivalent to the Holy Spirit, then with the large base of the Holy Spirit, would there still be a shortage of angels with legendary or higher strength?
Although Heroic Spirits are not entirely equivalent to Holy Spirits, this strategic significance is important enough. It's going too far by defying the heavens!
It's good to defy the heavens! It's good to be flexible and not follow the rules. Others have already come from countless levels of the abyss to gang up on each other. If we still follow the rules, aren't we just asking for death?
The negotiations were complete, the contract was signed, and the God of Contracts witnessed it. Before returning, these seven angels even assisted our legion. Adding seven more legendary or higher-level warriors means a reduction in the number of Heroic Spirits being created.
It seems the opposing pope is quite calculating and doesn't focus on immediate gains; no wonder he's the pope of a major god's church. It has to be said, Ron is now more inclined to have the warriors choose to join the Church of the God of War.
Sufficient strength is a prerequisite for equal negotiations. Vivian and Rita, as well as Ron's status as Pope, are equally important. Otherwise, why would others intend to reduce the birth of Heroic Spirits in order to seek long-term benefits?
If Ron hadn't acted tough enough, things might have turned out differently; in any case, the outcome was good.
In the sky of the Heroic Spirit Transference Source Technique, Ron's Dharma Source Body connects to the three major churches of the Outer Dharma Source: the Church of the God of War, the Church of the Goddess of Ice and Snow, and the Church of the Goddess of Magic, one male god and two goddesses.
With the knowledge of the divine texts in hand, there are currently three destinations. Although preparations for the other two destinations, excluding the God of War, are not yet complete, the special nature of the source of the law allows the heroic spirits to stay within the church for a period of time without running away. After baptism, the heroic spirits being led away should no longer be forcibly attracted to the depths of the source of the law.
Complete the preparations for creating the simulated divine spring as soon as possible through the witch...
It's a pity that the library of divine texts left by the Father God is mostly about creation, while the Kingdom of Creation is a minor path, and the Father God has no related divine text records. Otherwise, Ron would not have needed the content passed down by the God of War.
Cooperation among all parties can help fill in the gaps in the details.
The combat power of Legendary and above is sufficient. The original team should be retained to hold the line in case of enemy large-scale damage spells, while the rest of the Legendary and Demigods can sweep across the battlefield.
In the extraordinary world, legions of tens of thousands of people have only strategic significance, not tactical significance for a local victory in a war.
Victory often has little to do with the size of an army, but only with the strongest individuals possessing the most exceptional abilities…
In the years to come, without a large population base, how can there be enough strong individuals? For example, back then, Instructor Will simply threw Ron into the elemental forbidden zone, where life-and-death trials were another part of his training.
In fact, Ron's current mindset is not suitable for leading an army. Therefore, Ron mainly lets the commanders make their own decisions. He is simply not ruthless enough. When the commanders have no other choice, they often resort to exchanging weapons with magic weapons. In war, sacrifices are often necessary. Knowing that they should do it but not doing it will only lead to greater sacrifices. Only a small number of warriors become heroic spirits, but many more magic weapons are destroyed.
It would indeed be better to use the magical machines as shields. Well, let's leave it at that for now. I don't know if it will affect the catalysis of legends and demigods. Many years have passed, and the progress of the god-making project has been slow overall. However, in the past two years, with constant wars, several legends and several demigods have emerged in other war-torn regions.
Once the legacy has been established, the focus shifts to unleashing the potential of individual individuals.
Alas! In some eras, the rise of holy wars of faith in the world is often merely an attempt to create more Holy Spirits…
If such an era existed, things would be different. Mortals could wield magical weapons akin to divine artifacts, or even legendary weapons based on laws. Legend has it that the Arcane Age had the confidence to do so, with arcane mages actively banishing the ancient elemental gods, leading to the full rise of pantheons in later generations, even though the Arcane Age is long gone...
These were some thoughts that arose in Ron as he watched the demons being unilaterally slaughtered.
Soon, several legendary-level powerhouses completed their mission of sweeping across the battlefield. Having enough powerful individuals made things fast; with someone to hold the line, there were others to sweep everything away.
The seven angels received their Pope's order, and another spatial gate appeared. The angels entered the spatial gate, leaving only the Shadow God's branch church below within a radius of dozens of miles.
Sandy led all his combat units to surround the Shadow God's branch church...
"My lord!"
"Greetings, Your Lordship!"
"..."
"Alright, alright, there's no need for formalities on the battlefield."
Ron appeared at the Legion Command Center with Vivian in a large magic crystal vehicle, where several commanders were also present.
The current Magic Crystal Vehicle is no longer just a vehicle; it would be more accurate to call it a Magic Crystal Ship. The command-line Sky Ship is large enough that holding a small meeting is no big deal.
Ron gave the order: "You arrange your forces for a war of attrition, wearing down the enemy church's protective power. The goal is to deplete even more of the Fallen God's divine power. Meanwhile, the divine war has already begun..."
