Chapter 719 - 719 710 Sink or Reborn Choose_2

Chapter 719: Chapter 710: Sink or Reborn, Choose!_2 Chapter 719: Chapter 710: Sink or Reborn, Choose!_2 Michaela still detests the undead that have mastered the power of death, but she admires these humans with noble character. Even though they have fallen into the state of the undead, no one can deny their human identities when they willingly endure a thousand years of solitude and fight to protect humanity.

“What do you plan to do with these Undead Night Watchers?” Having understood the nature of the souls within these broken bodies of the undead, Muria took an opportunity to question Michaela. If his memory served him correctly, one of the conditions for angel reincarnation is the possession of a noble soul.

These night watchers undoubtedly met the criteria, but the sole issue is that they have degenerated into the undead—in the case of the youngest undead, it had been for eight hundred years already.

“I want to transform them into angels,” Michaela hesitated a little and then spoke her thoughts. She was at loss seeing the noble-hearted humans being trapped for thousands of years within the bodies of the undead.

“Is there a possibility for them to be reborn as angels under this condition?” Muria asked in a puzzled manner.

The aura of death from these undead night watchers had infiltrated every part of their souls. If they were to be immersed in the Angel Reincarnation Pool, it would be equivalent to throwing a piece of gold into aqua regia—they would be so thoroughly purified by the pool, that not even residue would remain. In Muria’s understanding, these undead night watchers were not qualified for angel reincarnation, as their souls had been tainted.

For this reason, once the night watchers become undead, they broke ties with the gods they had once worshipped. The souls tainted by Death Qi had lost the privilege to enter the Divine Kingdom. If not for unexpected circumstances, they would forever remain trapped in these decaying bodies of the undead.

“There is still a chance. Only the covering shell of their souls was eroded, but their soul cores, and their true spirit have not been tampered with.” Michaela explained to Muria. As the reincarnation of angels involves knowledge about the soul, she understood more about this aspect than Muria did.

“However, even if the reincarnation succeeds, these people will lose their former memories and become new angels. Only the most sincere memories deep in their souls will be retained, but they essentially serve no purpose. They will become lives fundamentally unrelated to their past,” Michaela chimed in.

“So, did you tell them about reincarnating into angels?”

“I mentioned it.” At this point, a look of admiration surfaced in Michaela’s eyes. “However, very few agreed. Only those who were nearing the loss of their senses from being eroded by the Death Qi agreed. But the probability of such humans being purified in the Angel Reincarnation Pool is much higher.”

“I see, I will get some people involved.” Muria pondered a bit, and then decided to solve the issue in a human way. The Night Watchers were noble-minded and had strong wills. Most of them didn’t want to become angels, but there were people who could make the decision on their behalf—some could even go to the extent of using force.

…

“Your Majesty, do you have any urgent matters for us?” In a special conference room, Muria sat in the main seat while projections of about ten Cardinal Archbishops appeared on either side of the room.

“You must be aware of the Night Watchers organization!”

“Of course, Your Majesty, this is the dark organization that we cultivated. They are heroes who gave their lives in past catastrophes to protect humans from harm. Even though they have turned into undead, they are still heroes. If you encounter them, please refrain from attacking them,” a Cardinal Archbishop hurriedly explained at the mention of the Night Watchers by Muria.

“I’m already aware of this. I’ve called you here for another matter that I need your help with.” Muria leaned on the table, supporting his chin with both hands.

“What matter?”

“My fiancée is angel with the Blazing Angel Wings, and she is now by my side. She brought down a Cloud City when she descended, and within it is an Angel Reincarnation Pool, which I believe you all should be familiar with.”

“Of course, we’re aware of that.”

“Your Majesty, what are you implying?”

“My fiancée deeply admires the character of the Night Watchers, and she wants them to join her ranks. As a condition for recruiting them, she wants to purify the death energy within them, let them reincarnate as angels and acquire a new life.”

“Reincarnate as angels!” When they heard Muria’s words, the Cardinal Archbishops who were summoned by him looked at each other with different expressions. Some frowned, while others showed surprise.

Among them, one Archbishop whose face was riddled with wrinkles looked particularly surprised. Muria even noticed that his fingers were slightly trembling.

“But…” With a solemn expression on his face, Muria caused the conference room that had just begun to stir to instantly quiet down, “Reincarnation comes with a price. Given that their souls have been eroded by Death Qi, some of the Night Watchers might be completely purified by the Angel Reincarnation Pool during the transformation process. Even if they successfully reincarnate, depending on the extent of the erosion by the Death Qi, they will lose various memories. The moment they become an angel, the reincarnated night watchers will turn into completely new individual lives.”

Muria laid all the pros and cons before the Archbishops. There was nothing to hide; once an angel was reincarnated, everything would come to light.

The Archbishops remained silent for a while, and no one said anything. They all understood the situation: this Son of Titan and Dragon and his wife were interested in these nobly spirited Night Watchers. They wanted to recruit and transform these Night Watchers into angels to enhance their own combat power.

The matter presented by Muria had both pros and cons from all angles, and it was difficult to balance those factors. Therefore, not a single Cardinal Archbishop decided to respond.

“I have a question, Your Majesty, if we agree to let the Night Watchers reincarnate as angels, then in the next catastrophe, without the help of the Night Watchers, we will suffer more losses. How do you plan on resolving this issue?” After a moment of silence, one Archbishop asked a very pointed question. The existence of the Night Watchers, as it stands for the Obisto Subcontinent now, has become a pivotal force in resisting catastrophes.

“Before every catastrophe, you can invoke Cloud City. We will dispatch the angels that the Night Watchers have been reincarnated into to assist you,” Muria answered.

“Is it really impossible to preserve the memories?”

“Indeed, it’s impossible. You have to understand that even the youngest of your Night Watchers have been eroded by the Death Qi for eight hundred years. It is impossible for them to retain complete memories because of that.”

Muria’s face remained calm, “Make your choice! Do you want to watch the heroes who protect you gradually decline in a future that bears no hope, or do you want them to have a chance at a new life?”
