“…”
After hearing the Fire Keeper's suggestion, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
Burning a world?
Fang Zheng certainly knew what the Fire Keeper meant. In the Blood Origin world, he had obtained a considerable amount of "firewood" by destroying those "bosses" to replenish his soul fire. But now it seemed that this was obviously not enough. If he could burn a world, then Fang Zheng would be able to get a world's firewood. In this way, his soul fire would definitely burn for a long, long time...
But...burning a world...
This is not an easy task. At least Fang Zheng can't think of any world that can be used as firewood. If you want to talk about powerful enemies, he can still find a lot of them, but a world is not that simple. At least in Fang Zheng's memory, he has not found a world that is suitable enough to be used as firewood.
Of course, Fang Zheng was not a devil after all, so he could not just pick a world to burn. He knew very well what burning a world meant, which meant that all the souls in that world would become his firewood. Therefore, in Fang Zheng's opinion, if he wanted to find one, he would have to find a world that was extremely evil - well, just like in the dark world, if there was no cursed child, then Fang Zheng would just burn that world.
Or... just find a post-apocalyptic wasteland?
Why do I feel like I'm getting further and further on the road to becoming the big boss?
Forget it, let's talk about this later. Even if we can't find such a world, Fang Zheng can get firewood by destroying those powerful bosses to continue his soul fire. Anyway... Bosses are not uncommon in any world, right?
But now...
"I leave it to you."
Fang Zheng thought about it for a while, and then handed the two swords to the fire keeper. He also wanted to experiment to see how much soul fire he would consume by using his power. The fire keeper respectfully took the two blades from Fang Zheng, one long and one short, and then closed her eyes and began to chant in a low voice.
Along with the Fire Keeper's chanting, the ball of fire on the altar in front of Fang Zheng suddenly erupted, forming two long fire snakes that swallowed the two swords. Then the Fire Keeper let go of her hands and took a few steps back.
"Please hold the hilt of the sword and think about how it should be, Lord Ash."
"Um……"
Fang Zheng nodded, then he reached out and grasped the two swords wrapped in soul fire again. Soon, the flames rose up in front of Fang Zheng's eyes again.
When the flames died down, the two swords in front of Fang Zheng changed their shapes again.
The great sword in his right hand had not changed much, except that sawtooth-like lines could be seen on the edge of the originally smooth blade. Not only that...
“Crack!”
Fang Zheng raised his right hand and swung it forward. With the sound of a mechanism, the sword in Fang Zheng's hand suddenly split into pieces and stretched out, turning into a chain sword that was swung forward, and then hit the ground with a "bang". Then Fang Zheng shook his right hand, and the chain sword that fell on the ground raised its head high like a snake, and then made another "click" sound, and returned to the form of a sword.
"very good."
Looking at the great sword in his hand, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. As for the black magic sword, Fang Zheng's idea of transformation was based on the cane sword he had used in the Yharnam world. After all, one more form change could extend the attack distance, and this unexpected change was also to Fang Zheng's liking.
However, there are still differences between the greatsword and the cane sword. If the latter's transformation is like a poisonous snake, then Fang Zheng's greatsword is more like a giant python. The poisonous snake wins by attacking with agility and speed, while the giant python is more about suppressing with force and sweeping away thousands of troops.
And that’s not all…
Fang Zheng took a step back to make more space, then he raised the sword again and swung it forward with force. Soon, the sword once again turned into a giant python, howling and tearing through the air. However, the difference from before was that at the moment the black sword in Fang Zheng's hand changed its shape, its sword body suddenly transformed into several phantoms, attacking from all directions like a multi-headed snake.
Just as Fang Zheng launched the attack, he retracted his sword and retreated. The whip shadows that had spread out in all directions quickly dissipated and returned again.
“This is such a pleasant surprise.”
Looking at the black sword in his hand, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He just thought of it when injecting power into it. What would happen if he injected the power he had obtained from the Dark Moon Sword into his own weapon? From the results, it was obvious that this gave his black sword a very outstanding ability - creating phantoms!
Although these phantoms are just phantoms and have no attack power, they are enough to disrupt the enemy's vision.
As for the silver dagger in the left hand, it also changed.
Like the pitch-black greatsword, Fang Zheng also improved the appearance of the silver-white dagger. The original hilt was transformed into a grip similar to the handle of a musket, and the jaw was turned into a revolver's drum magazine.
As for the muzzle, Fang Zheng placed it quite insidiously at the top of the blade, and deliberately formed a groove similar to a bloodletting groove. After all, this gun is loaded and fired with Fang Zheng's power, not some physical bullets, so only one firing port is needed. Since the original silver-white dagger was based on the dagger in the Flange Great Sword, it is curved like a beast's claw, and the attack is more based on slashing rather than stabbing, making this dagger look more like a weird reverse scimitar. In this case, no one can generally detect the malice hidden in this dagger.
As for the power...
"Bang!!"
Fang Zheng raised the dagger in his left hand and grasped the hilt. Then he pressed the hammer with his thumb and pulled the trigger. With a deafening gunshot, a ball of fire suddenly erupted on the ground not far in front of Fang Zheng's eyes.
The range is about thirty to fifty meters, and the power is basically equivalent to a magic missile.
Looking at the flames of the explosion in front of him, Fang Zheng made a brief assessment and was quite satisfied with the result. Since this type of bullet was condensed with Fang Zheng's power of existence, as long as Fang Zheng had enough power of existence to replenish it, he could continue shooting continuously.
This was also thanks to the fact that he was finally able to connect to the Zero Hour Lost Child after transmitting the fire again, otherwise Fang Zheng would not dare to play like this.
In fact, Fang Zheng also considered the possibility of using the characteristics of the Zero Time Lost Child to extend his existence. But for Fang Zheng, he decided to use this as a last resort. The Zero Time Lost Child restored the power of existence. The problem was that Fang Zheng was not a Red World disciple like Hecate or Tilia who relied on the power of existence to appear. This also meant that if he wanted to completely rely on the Zero Time Lost Child to extend his soul fire, he would have to transform himself into a Red World disciple.
But there are many risks, the most important of which is that when Fang Zheng transforms into a Red World, all his causal connections with this world will disappear and he will be forgotten. This means that except for Shana, Nanoka, Hecate and Tilia, everyone else, including Nymph, will most likely have their memories of Fang Zheng cleared.
Not only that, Fang Zheng had spent a lot of effort to build it, and the current good situation of Tiandao Palace would also collapse. So for Fang Zheng, if there was no other way, he would never choose to transform himself into a Red World disciple.
So the next step is... to find an opponent to conduct the experiment.
"Fire girl."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the Fire Girl.
"You can connect to the dream world and take me to the dream world where the red moon is."
"Yes, Master Ashes."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the Fire Lady nodded, and then she came to the center of the Fire Sacrifice Field. Without making any movement, she took out a spiral, burning sword and stabbed it into the fire. Then, the Fire Lady slightly turned aside to make way for Fang Zheng.
"Please, Master Cinder."
"...Well, this is really a familiar and convenient method."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded, then he walked to the fire and stretched out his hand to place it on the top of the broken sword.
Then, the world in front of Fang Zheng changed instantly.
