I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Mistakenly gathered souls?

Anno turned to look at the anxious Hicks, thinking to himself: Your reaction proves that my decision was not wrong.

Normally, if Hicks came to Anno asking him to resurrect Lucius, who had been dead for a long time, Anno might be able to find out through investigation which high-ranking god of the royal court had killed Lucius back then.

After all, Hicks has had many conflicts with the royal court over the years, causing quite a stir, and some things can be easily investigated.

But who can find out which of the middle gods Lucius killed before his death?

Or who would notice the others who died in that battle?

Even Lucius, if it weren't for Hicks causing trouble for so many years, no one would remember him.

However, Hicks was definitely in the know.

After all, the details about the deceased's appearance were all extracted by Liz from Hicks's memories.

Through Anno's efforts, the quality of the Demon Sword has been upgraded to that of a superior artifact.

This level of [Disguise] can disguise itself using only the target's blood, without absorbing the soul of the dead, and can also acquire the target's special physique, blessings, racial secrets, and memories!

Hicks had not previously handed Lucius's body over to Anno.

Anno also didn't give Liz a chance to get information from Lucius.

However, during the battle a few days ago, Anno had his summoned creatures secretly collect Hicks's blood.

Information about Lucius and the enemies he killed was obtained through Hicks's memories.

The souls that gather from the black hole in the sky are not real souls.

That was merely something Anno created using the [Law of Reality and Illusion], with the aim of making Hicks completely lower her guard and confirm that Anno had truly resurrected Lucius.

Imagine if Anno, without any prior knowledge, managed to extract the souls of the enemies who fought Lucius. What would Hicks think of that?

specialized!

The second-generation Summoning God can truly track the souls of the deceased and gather them back around him.

As Hicks became convinced that Lucius's soul had truly been restored and was ready to be resurrected, the onlookers became even more convinced of Anno's methods of resurrection.

In fact, when Hicks shouted it out, Anno's deception plan had essentially succeeded.

All that remains is to create an opportunity for Liz to enter the crystal coffin, 'eat' a part of the torso, and then replace Lucius.

"He was just haunting Lucius's soul, which is why he was brought to this place."

Anno explained to Hicks, "Don't worry, I'm holding this ceremony to resurrect Lucius."

Hearing Anno's calm reply, Hicks finally relaxed, though he still had a tense expression on his face.

As for the onlookers, they were all pondering Hicks's reaction just now.

"It's confirmed, the second generation's resurrection technique is genuine! Otherwise, how would he know what the enemies who participated in killing Lucius looked like?"

"Hahaha... We have a second-generation Summoning God capable of resurrection. What are the divine realms? What are the royal courts? What are the Time-Space Apostles?"

"What a stroke of luck! This is our great fortune, and the dream thieves' great fortune!"

Although the resurrection ritual was not yet over, everyone was already certain that the second generation had indeed mastered the art of resurrection.

The Royal Court of the Gods.

Thanks to intelligence secretly relayed by spies, the top ten god-kings of the royal court gathered together for the first time.

"I initially thought the resurrection technique was just a publicity stunt, but based on the information I saw from my puppet just now, the resurrection technique is basically real. The second-generation summoning god is far more bizarre than we imagined."

"I never imagined that the royal court would have such a formidable enemy after only a short period of slumber."

"Hmph, no matter how powerful the enemy, if they dare to challenge the authority of the royal court, there is only one ending: death!"

The resurrection ritual is still underway. Once it is finally confirmed to be true, we will immediately begin our attack on World City!

As for the second-generation Summoning God, kill him at all costs and seize his divine status!

"Hehehe, that's a good idea. I also want to observe what kind of power of law is contained in the divine core of the second-generation God of Summoning."

......

As the resurrection array emitted a burst of light, it instantly destroyed the soul that lunged at Lucius.

Lucius's soul, also bathed in light, seemed to be replenished, becoming even more solid.

As the light faded, Lucius's soul floated lightly into the corpse inside the crystal coffin.
