This thought flashed through Fang Zheng's mind for a moment, but he eventually put it aside.

Indeed, the Red World's followers were quite powerful, and the Fire Mist Warriors were also very strong, but they were no match for the Zerg. However, Fang Zheng would not resort to this method unless it was absolutely necessary. Once he summoned the Zerg to this world, it would represent an invasion of this world. At that time, except for Tilia, who would still stand on his side, everyone else would probably become his enemy.

Fang Zheng would not sit idle and let himself become the target of public criticism. Besides, there would be no benefit in turning the Earth into a Zerg, right? This is not the world of the Predator, so the appearance is still acceptable. Appearance is justice.

So besides this, is there any other way to achieve this goal...wait!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered something.

There was only one reason why the old woman and the Fire Mist Warriors came to trouble him, and that was the Zero Hour Lost Child. According to them, the Red World needed the Zero Hour Lost Child as a treasure to complete their plan, so... what was the plan?

"What do you know about masquerade balls?"

"this……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Hill was obviously a little surprised. He originally thought that Fang Zheng would ask about something about his idea, but he didn't expect that he asked a completely irrelevant question. However, Hill was still very conscientious and told Fang Zheng the origin of the masquerade.

All this story began three thousand years ago.

Three thousand years ago, the Red World discovered the Earth connected to their world, and they came to this world full of yearning for the new world. Completely different from the Red World, the new world immediately attracted the Red World. In the new world, they needed the power of existence to have their own form, so these Red World began to absorb the power of existence everywhere to condense their bodies and strength.

But then a problem arose.

Three thousand years ago, the number of humans on Earth was far less than that of the Red World Cultists, and at that time, except for a few places, humans had not even formed a large-scale civilization. This also led to the fact that in the eyes of the Red World Cultists, humans were almost the same food as cattle and sheep, but what troubled them was that more and more Red World Cultists came to the New World, which also led to more and more people competing with them for food.

It's like there are a hundred sheep. If ten people share them, each can get ten. But if a thousand people come... then no one will get even one.

If too many Red World villains come, it won’t be long before all the power of existence on Earth is consumed by them.

Under such circumstances, the followers of the Red World began to pray for a place where they could have enough power to exist. And it was because of the prayers of the followers of the Red World that one of the three great gods of the Red World, the Creator God Sacrifice Serpent, appeared.

In the Red World, there are three gods, each of whom has different powers - the God of Guidance, the God of Creation, and the God of Heavenly Punishment.

Among them, the Guiding God is responsible for informing, the Creating God is responsible for fulfilling wishes, and the Punishing God is responsible for maintaining order and world balance.

And because of the wishes of the Crimson World's followers, the Creator God Sacrifice Serpent came to the Earth with his followers, and in order to realize the Crimson World's followers' dream of "having an infinite paradise", he created the "Great Chain".

The so-called "Great Binding Chain" is to create a vast and permanent seal on the earth. In this seal as big as a country, the Red World people do not need to devour humans and can have enough existence power to maintain their own existence. Not only that, in the Great Binding Chain, the "skewness" caused by devouring the existence power will also be maintained at a certain amount and will not fluctuate.

For the people of the Red World, this is their paradise. Not only that, when the "Great Chains" were completed, the God of Creation not only invited the people of the Red World, but also invited the Fire Mist Warriors to participate in the ceremony together, hoping to receive the Fire Mist Warriors' blessings.

I don't know if it was because of naivety or because they really didn't think too much, but the ritual snake at that time didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with inviting the fire fog warriors to participate. But for the fire fog warriors, the behavior of the ritual snake was like the enemy army building a fortress on their own territory that could be invaded at will. They absolutely could not tolerate this behavior.

Not to mention, in order to complete this ritual, a large number of humans are needed as sacrifices. Because of this, the Fire Mist Warriors simply cannot accept what these Red World followers have done.

Therefore, they pretended to accept the invitation of the God of Creation, and when the ceremony began and everyone was not prepared at all, the Fire Mist Warriors suddenly attacked. They first attacked the core witch and destroyed the entire "Great Binding Chain" ceremony. Then, at the cost of their own lives, these Fire Mist Warriors used the secret method of "Ancient Trap" to banish the God of Creation to the gap between the Red World and the Earth, and completely sealed it up.

This behavior naturally angered the Three Pillars, who were followers of the Creator God. In the eyes of the Fire Mist Warriors, it was a very evil thing for the Red World to create their own paradise on Earth. In the eyes of the Red World Warriors, they kindly invited the Fire Mist Warriors to participate in the ceremony, hoping to get their blessings, but they were stabbed in the back by them.

This behavior is tantamount to betrayal!

The furious Three Pillars defeated the Fire Mist Warriors and made them flee, but even so, they still succeeded in stopping the evil deeds of the God of Creation.

It must be admitted that although the actions of these first generation fire mist warriors were not authentic, they did buy time for mankind. It was precisely because of the loss of the bridgehead that the difficulty for the Red World to enter the earth increased a lot. Otherwise, if the Creator God built the "Great Chain", then in the face of the swarm of Red World disciples, it is unknown whether mankind will still be able to build their own civilization.

After that, the three followers of the God of Creation established the Masquerade organization. No one knew what they were thinking, but many people speculated that the ultimate goal of this organization was most likely to rescue their sealed God of Creation, the Sacrificial Snake, from the gap between the two worlds.

In fact, the information about the Masquerade is extremely scarce. Apart from knowing that this force was founded by the three followers of the God of Creation - the Three Pillars, almost no one knows anything else. Even Hill only knows that the three leaders of the Masquerade are "Thousand Changes" Xiudenan, "The Judge of Anti-Imagination" Bellpeol, and "The Seat of the Top" Hecate.

Apart from that, almost no one knows what these three people look like, what roles they play in the masquerade, and what treasures they possess. Not only that, the masquerade has almost never actively caused any conflicts in the past three thousand years, and even rarely occurs.

"Then you're still so nervous?"

Fang Zheng said he couldn't understand it at all. According to Hill, the Masquerade was basically a secret dark organization, not even a terrorist organization. Seeing how desperate those Fire Mist Warriors were, he thought they were targeting him and were planning to destroy the world. But... you guys don't even know what they want to do, and you're just fooling around here?

"The main reason is that the old men are very nervous. Many of them have participated in the battle against the 'God of Creation' and are very clear about the strength of the Three Pillars. So no matter what the Three Pillars do, these old men will be on edge. Since the Zero Hour Lost Child has become their target, these Fire Mist Warriors will naturally not ignore it."

"I see."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood the whole story. He ate the last piece of steak, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, stood up, smiled and nodded at Hill.

"Thank you, Mr. Hill. I have obtained the information I wanted... Well, for now, I still need to consider your suggestion."

"Of course. I understand."

Hill naturally didn't think that he had any abilities like the King's Aura or the Face Fruit, and that the other party would nod and agree with just a casual remark. Not to mention that this matter sounded very serious, and Fang Zheng was willing to consider it carefully, which was already the best result.

"I won't do anything until you reply."

Hill also did not forget to make a promise to Fang Zheng. Otherwise, if Fang Zheng did not agree, and he took the initiative to force Fang Zheng to the stage, it would definitely have an immeasurable impact on their relationship. Hill was not a fool, and of course he would not do such a stupid thing.

"That's right."

Just before Fang Zheng was about to turn around and leave with Tilia and Nanoka, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Hill.

"If all the Red World disciples and Fire Mist Warriors left this world, what would you do?"

"I?"

Hearing this unexpected question, Hill was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.

"I think... maybe I will open a flower shop. This was my girlfriend's wish before she died. She even saved a lot of money for it. She had already bought a shop... but..."

"She was eaten by the Red World's followers?"

"No."

Hill shook his head.

"She was affected in the battle between the Fire Mist Warrior and the Crimson World. Because the damage was too severe to be restored, the Fire Mist Warrior used the power of her existence to repair the world."

Having said that, Hill smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Sometimes, I really wish I had never stepped into this world. It would be better if I were like an ordinary person and forgot her existence."

"Really..."

After hearing Hill's answer, Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand.

"Goodbye, then."
