Finally.

The laws of war that surround Asker make up his body in the ocean of subconscious.

A conceptual body.

In the first half of the Law of War ritual mission, by creating a large number of war kills, Asker's body in the real plane, every molecule in it, was marked with a war anchor.

This is also the premise of his resurrection.

With the concretized laws of war in the subconscious ocean, his "conceptual flesh and blood" will be reconstituted - corresponding to the main plane, and every molecule with an anchor point of war will also be reorganized.

That is to say, after his death, even if the body is burned, the ashes are raised, and they float in all directions.

These molecules can also be reorganized into his original materialized body under the traction of the anchor point of war, forming a collection that mirrors his conceptual flesh and blood in the subconscious ocean.

Finally, through mapping, the fusion of the conceptual body and the material body is completed, which is the so-called resurrection.

Aske began to slowly ascend, and he had sensed the physical body of the main plane. Fortunately, the body appeared to be intact, and there were no actual ashes being raised.

Hey?

Asker suddenly realized that the body seemed to be too intact, and even the fatal wound that should have been in the chest was gone.

Could it be my corpse, taken by the demigods of the Pure-Blood Hermitage and doing something strange?

Considering that the demigod majored in the law of "devouring", Asker estimated that if his body fell into the hands of the other party, there was a high probability that he would be eaten directly.

Of course, even if it is eaten, through the traction of the anchor point of war, every molecule can be forcibly stripped from the opponent's body.

It turned out that it didn't, which made him feel a little relieved.

That is, after his death, Peggy did seriously carry out his "last words" and successfully escaped with his body.

As for the healing of the injuries on the corpse, it may have been caused by Nola's ability to activate his life ability and contain his corpse.

So, everyone should have been informed of his death by now.

Asker sighed.

The reason why he chose to sneak out late at night to go on a mission alone was to keep everyone from knowing about it. After all, resurrection after death is too weird and outrageous, and even if they knew, they would inevitably be frightened in the process.

So far...... No matter what, it's all Peggy's fault, whoever told her to secretly follow her, she has to be punished when she goes back.

At this time, Asker has risen to the surface of the subconscious ocean, which is the height at which the conceptual body can exist.

As the closer you get to materialization, the more you float up in the ocean of the subconscious. Therefore, the next step is to obtain the physical body of the main plane and complete the complete fusion of the two bodies. Only when it is 100% materialized can you leave here and return to the main plane.

So he hovered quietly, waiting for the anchor of war to pull the main plane's body back.

City of Verona.

Peggy no longer knew how many Templars she had killed, and the corpse in her arms was already overflowing with life force and could not be instilled with more.

All around her, there were densely packed with sucked corpses, and swarms of tadpoles in the air, frolicking and swimming freely.

Why...... Why, you still haven't been able to come back......

She stood dumbfounded in the middle of the corpses on the ground, hugging Asker's corpse in her arms.

Suddenly, she noticed that the corpse in her hand seemed to be lighter.

No way......

Peggy hugged him tightly in a panic, as if to rub him into her own body.

However, Asker's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into her arms.

Uhh

A heart-rending roar of despair once again resounded over the city of Verona.

The Blood Girl looked up, and her inky pupils had completely lost color.

————————————

Solomon's City, Lateran Palace, Synod of Cardinals.

The cardinals are arguing over whether to use nuclear weapons in advance.

Different from the optimistic predictions of the emperor's camp, the Holy See at this point in time has already resumed the production line of drone swarms and tactical nuclear weapons in advance, which means that the outcome of this war has been settled.

Of course, the annihilation of the Emperor's coalition with nuclear weapons was the worst possible outcome, which meant that the Holy See had to pay the most in this war, without gaining anything and losing a huge number of believers.

After all, the Holy Solomon Empire is the "traditional gold mine" of the Holy See, and the vast majority of imperial soldiers and believers are only coerced by the power under the feudal system to launch an immeasurable impact on the Holy See.

As long as the pressure was used to force the emperor to submit and abdicate, these simple and cheap laborers could return to the empire to continue their work, and to contribute a steady stream of wealth to the Holy See.

Thus, with little twists and turns, the Council of Cardinals agreed on an overall strategy:

Sausage cutting tactics.

By constantly increasing the weight on the battlefield, he pressed the psychological bottom line of the emperors and dukes until they completely admitted defeat and gave in. In this way, unnecessary casualties can be avoided as much as possible.

As for how much to cut off with the first cut, the cardinals differed.

The radicals said that they could drop a nuclear bomb on the outskirts of the town to deter the emperor's coalition forces; Moderates, on the other hand, believe that the consequences of dropping nuclear bombs are difficult to predict, and suggest that a wave of drone bombing should be carried out first, and "restrained and forceful" means should be used to gradually exert pressure on the emperor.

At this moment, Raphael's monitoring process suddenly alarmed......

So a few minutes later, the bishops were shocked to learn that one of the R4 targets of the Azure Sword Mercenary Group had gone on a rampage, and was now slaughtering the city against the anti-magic magnetic field!

After all, it is the R4 level, and exaggerated deeds such as slaughtering the city can be regarded as worthy of her deterrent level.

The problem is that the anti-magic magnetic field doesn't work against her, and this one is pretty fucked up.

The anti-magic magnetic field is the shield of Christ, and it is the greatest guarantee of modern civilization against the hidden camp.

Now that even this greatest guarantee has lost its absolute deterrent effect, and the cardinals immediately began to panic.

At the next meeting at the Lateran Palace, the hardliners immediately gained the upper hand, and the moderates were defeated in the debate.

Pope Innocent sat in the first seat, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Bishop Valyan was allowed to sit to his right and listened attentively to the bishops' exchange of words.

Finally, the results of the vote were in, and the Council of Cardinals unanimously decided to use nuclear weapons for deterrence - not only to deter the Emperor's coalition, but also to deter a dangerous mercenary group within the coalition.

Of course, this resolution ultimately requires the Pope's nod.

As God's incarnation on earth, the Holy See has a strong veto on the decisions of any Council of Cardinals – but the Pope rarely uses this power, and more often than not, in consultation with the cardinals, re-initiates a second review vote.

If the second vote is still the same as before, then the pope usually makes concessions, otherwise the veto is tantamount to acknowledging the existence of serious conflicts and disagreements with the cardinals.

At this time, the eyes of all the cardinals turned to Pope Innocent, waiting for his final statement.

"Oh." Innocent slapped his forehead, "Well, where are the nukes going to be dropped?" ”

The cardinals are absolutely down, Your Majesty dared to wander just now?!

So the hard-line bishop's representative explained the plan in advance and motioned for the Pope to look at the file on his desk.

So Innocent was absentmindedly flipping through the papers in front of him, and the cardinals looked at him speechlessly, when suddenly they heard a loud noise outside.

"What's going on!" A cardinal stood up and went out waving to call the papal guard to inquire about the source of the noise outside.

After a moment, his eyes widened and he waved his hand to signal the papal guard to leave, and then slowly turned around, his movements stiff as if his joints were rusting.

"Ladies and gentlemen." His voice was slightly hoarse, with a certain still unbelievable trance-like tone.

“…… The hour hand of Giotto's clock jumps from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock. ”
