Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1119, Mortal Fire

Wu Heng did not directly respond to this request, but instead asked a key question, "Is he really the old king's second prince?"

The one sitting on the throne now is declared to be the second prince, but the second prince died at the hands of Wu Heng long ago.

It’s just that most people outside don’t know it.

Heinrich shuddered, remained silent for a moment, then prostrated himself on the ground, sobbing, "No... no. Your Majesty's true identity is... this humble minister's illegitimate son. He... does not possess a single trace of royal blood."

In the presence of a true god, mortal lies and disguises are meaningless.

He chose to confess completely, hoping to buy a chance of survival.

After listening to this, Wu Heng's face remained expressionless. He simply turned his gaze to the Archbishop of Treasure Island who was standing beside him.

The archbishop immediately understood and waved his hand gently. Two guards in Lingqi Church uniforms walked into the hall silently and quickly.

"Take him away and keep him under guard for the time being," Wu Heng ordered.

"Yes, sir." The guards obeyed the order, picked up the limp Heinrich on the ground, one on each side, and led him out of the hall.

I also need to discuss this matter with Brittany to see who would be better to sit on the throne.

In the current environment, the throne is no longer that important.

Wu Heng also had no intention of letting Brittany go back to manage the kingdom. He could arrange for someone he trusted to continue managing it.

After dealing with this unexpected episode, Wu Heng explained to the archbishop some matters concerning the daily operation of the church and how to deal with various forces.

The secular management power was handed over to this loyal and capable archbishop, and he himself no longer needed to be distracted by these trivial matters.

After everything was arranged, Wu Heng's figure gradually faded and disappeared from the main seat in the hall.

……

Within the divine realm.

We were on high alert for more than half a month to deal with the frequent harassment from the Vatican's gods.

It's rare that there's nothing going on right now, so I can relax my tense mind a little.

After withdrawing his spiritual consciousness from the anchor points scattered everywhere, Wu Heng stood up and walked out of the magnificent main hall of the temple, and came to a terrace on the side with a wide view.

As soon as I walked in, I saw 'Niangniang' and 'Glenda' sitting opposite each other in front of a jade chessboard, playing chess.

Xiaoxiao and Benny have been with Zhao Yanqiu these days, so Niangniang and Glenda stayed to keep her company.

Seeing Wu Heng approaching, Glenda raised his eyes and asked with a hint of concern, "No movement over there today?"

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded and walked closer. "That person has gone quiet for the time being, so I can take some time off to deal with some personal matters."

Hearing this, Glenda glanced at his precarious chess game on the board. He raised his hand and swished the pieces around. He stood up and said, "I'm not going to play anymore. Wu Heng is free now, so it would be nice to chat."

The queen glanced at her and said, "If you lose, you lose. There's no need to make such excuses!"

"The chess game is ever-changing. Who dares to assert that I have no chance of turning the tables before the last moment?" Glenda retorted stubbornly.

The queen smiled and said, "If you still have a chance, you won't be so eager to cheat."

Seeing the two about to start bickering, Wu Heng found a topic and said, "I'm planning to go to Molten Core to take a look. Do you want to come with me?"

"There's nothing to do now, let's go and take a look!" The queen stood up and gently gathered the fluffy fox tails behind her.

"Let's go! Let's go together." Glenda also agreed.

Wu Heng nodded, and the space around him fluctuated slightly. He then led the two of them across the distance within the divine realm and appeared at the entrance of the fiery volcano.

As soon as I got close, a wave of scorching air hit me in the face, and the air was distorted by the high temperature.

Wu Heng raised his hand slightly, and a shield wrapped Granda and the Empress to protect them from the high temperature, and then they walked into the depths of the cave together.

In the center of the huge cave, the Molten Core has returned to its original state.

The whole body is dark red, with red liquid flames flowing inside.

"Molten Core has recovered well during this period." The Queen said after taking a look.

When Wu Heng brought it back, it had already turned into a black lump.

Now it has returned to its original appearance.

"You've already become a god. Are the things you smelted still useful to you?" Glenda asked in some confusion.

Wu Heng's gaze fell on the Molten Core. "I don't know either. I'm just curious what kind of wonders could be produced if the most perfect effect could be achieved."

"I don't think it's very meaningful." Glenda was still not optimistic.

Wu Heng said no more. With a wave of his hand, a small hill made of strange objects instantly appeared on the open space beside him.

Most of these are low-level or ineffective artifacts collected from various secret warehouses after the Snake Emblem Group was incorporated, and they are just right to be used as materials for smelting.

Everything was ready. Wu Heng looked intently at the Molten Core, and a panel appeared.

Molten Core (Rare Item)

【Effect: Smelting (4.2%).】

【Side effects: Irreversible damage.】

Then, Wu Heng threw in one strange object after another.

[Smelting, 5.7%...]

[Smelting, 6.9%....]

【Smelting, 98.5%.】

When the progress reached this critical point, Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and stopped adding materials.

The light of the Molten Core gradually stabilized, and the light on the surface became brighter.

After the smelting was completed, a strange object appeared from the bottom of the magma pool.

Soul Mirror (Unusual Item)

[Effect: Soul Capture (Looking directly into the mirror can directly capture the opponent's soul and use it to control their body.)]

Side effects: Confusion.

A strange mirror-like object with rather strange effects.

I remember that last time, when I killed the leader of the Twelve Heavenly Holy Sect, I also got a mirror with similar effects.

But that mirror can only freeze a person, it cannot control the target's body.

Wu Heng hooked his hand and the mirror flew out and landed on the stone platform beside him.

"continue!"

Then, the second smelting began.

……

In a strange plane filled with rugged mountains and deep caves.

The sky was covered with thick gray fog and the light was dim.

Countless creatures, half human-height and shaped like giant insects, vibrate their transparent or bony membrane wings and fly nimbly through the honeycomb-like caves.

A faint light flickers on their shells, they communicate in a unique, clicking language, wear clothes made of minerals and plant fibers, and use tools that suit their body shape and physiological structure, forming a special Zerg society.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light tore through the gray sky and pierced down like a sharp sword.

The light converged and turned into a human silhouette with a blurred face, emitting a pure and majestic aura of light.

Almost at the same time as he appeared, another huge pressure descended.

A taller, more similar-looking Zerg clone formed by energy appeared in front of him.

The Zerg god's divine compound eyes locked coldly on the uninvited guest.

"Light!" The Zerg God's voice was like the friction of countless armor plates, with obvious impatience and vigilance. "Why are you trespassing into my territory again? Don't mess with me!"

The Vatican deity casually glanced at the busy insect swarms around him, his tone calm, "I've come to discuss a deal with you. I wonder if you're interested in devouring a newborn deity and seizing its priesthood?"

The Zerg God's compound eyes flickered slightly, clearly touched by the proposal, but he immediately sneered sharply, "You want me to be your thug?"

"Why do you have to say it so harshly? If there's any benefit, you'll be the first one I think of."

"If the new god were easy to deal with, you would have devoured him all by yourself. Why would you share it with me? You must be asking for my help because you're dealing with a tough nut to crack." The Zerg god pointed out the problem. "Since you need my help, show your sincerity and share the information about the other party."

The Vatican deity's tone remained calm, as if it didn't matter that he was being criticized. "You are still so smart."

After a compliment, he continued, "He's a human who became a god, but he didn't follow the orthodox path to deification. Instead, he stole the remains of an ancient deity and luckily ascended to godhood. He's caused me considerable trouble, and I admit I'm not entirely confident in handling it alone, so I've come to seek your cooperation."

The Zerg god stared at him intently, as if analyzing every energy fluctuation in his words to distinguish the truth from the false.

The silence lasted for a long time, like two chess players playing a silent game.

"Just became a god?" It finally spoke again, its voice a little deeper.

"According to mortal time, it's less than half a year." The god of the Holy See replied.

"What priesthood?"

"He seemed to be a necromancer in his lifetime, and the powers he displayed were mostly related to death."

"The priesthood of death... This is a main priesthood! No wonder you have such difficulty dealing with it." The Zerg god's tone carried a hint of understanding, even a bit of gloating.

The Vatican gods looked at it silently and did not continue the topic.

"How many gods does the other side have?" the Zerg god continued to ask.

"Only him! He became a god less than half a year ago, how many more can there be?" The tone of the Vatican god contained a barely perceptible irritation.

The Zerg God posed the question that concerned him most, "Can you locate his divine domain? Killing a few insignificant clones is meaningless."

"I will find a way to find it! As long as you agree to cooperate, I will find a way to inform you of the specific location." The Vatican god made a promise.

"Okay." The Zerg God finally nodded. "I accept this deal. When the time comes, we'll divide the spoils based on our abilities."

"make a deal!"

As soon as the words fell, the figures of the gods of the Holy See disappeared like sand blown away by the wind, instantly turning into specks of golden light.

Only the Zerg god was left floating in the air alone, its compound eyes flickering with faint light.

……

Inside the Molten Core Cave.

The heat was surging, and the air was filled with the distinct smell of sulfur and smelting metal.

Wu Heng's eyes were fixed on the progress bar on the panel above Molten Core.

【Smelting, 97.3%】.

Just the last bit left.

He took a deep breath, and as if with some sense of ritual, he picked up the last ancient bell-shaped object engraved with runes beside him and threw it into the magma surging with hot energy.

The next second, the Molten Core burst out with unprecedented light, like a miniature sun rising from the ground, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.

The magma on the surface rolled and splashed violently, and energy fluctuations swept across like a storm.

【Smelting, 100%! 】

Seeing this number, Wu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Finally achieved the result I wanted.

Glenda and the Empress on the side were also attracted by this sudden strange sight. They stopped chatting and looked over curiously.

"This time's commotion... is bigger than any other time before." Glenda squinted his eyes to block out the glaring light, his tone filled with surprise.

"Hmm!" Wu Heng said with a smile on his face, "This is the current limit of what it can achieve."

The empress gracefully shielded the bright light with her sleeves and asked, "How can you be so sure this is the best effect?"

"Feel!"

From the beginning to the end, he never said that he could see the information of items.
