The attack on the HELLSING headquarters did not bring any bad results. The two vampires who led the attack were just rookies to Fang Zheng. He could easily kill one of them, so the others would be no exception. It didn't take long before the army of vampires and ghouls that invaded the HELLSING headquarters was wiped out, and during the whole process, Akkad didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Of course, there were many things to do after the war. After all, these zombies destroyed most of the buildings, which needed to be renovated, and the bodies of the guards killed by the zombies also needed to be collected. Although Fang Zheng came back in time, the garrison guarding the HELLSING headquarters was not completely wiped out, but after an inventory, it was found that nearly two-thirds of the people were killed. The pensions, funerals, etc. of these people were all a troublesome matter.
But this is something Intergula needs to think about. As for Fang Zheng, he has another trouble to solve.
That is the effect of the abyss on oneself.
Fang Zheng knew that each world had its own different atmosphere and feeling, just like when you walk into a spacious and bright future hotel, a dim and cold tomb, or a warm and cozy cabin, the atmosphere and feeling you have are different, so your reactions will also be different.
Just like the malice and corruption from fallen humans that he had felt in the dark world before, in this world, Fang Zheng felt a kind of...instinctive violence and madness.
Even the calm and tough Integra, and the gentle and elegant old butler Walter, who almost interpreted the word gentleman to the bone, Fang Zheng could feel that there was a kind of crazy blood flowing deep in their hearts. This seemed to be the norm for most people in this world, just as the malice of humans in the dark world would be infinitely magnified. Most people in this world seemed to find it difficult to stay rational... or rather, they maintained a kind of rational madness.
Even the silly-looking policewoman is no exception.
If Fang Zheng had traveled through time in a normal state, he would still be unaffected by the atmosphere of this world. But the problem was that he was now contaminated by the abyss.
This makes Fang Zheng's emotions very sensitive and easily influenced by the outside world.
Just like the previous battle with the golden-haired man, if it was Fang Zheng from the main world, he would not waste time talking to him and would just go over and chop and burn him. But Fang Zheng in the previous battle wanted to exploit him and enjoy his pain. He longed to see this self-righteous guy wailing in front of him, begging for mercy, and then dying miserably.
Fang Zheng had to admit that when he saw the golden-haired creature screaming in front of him with a distorted face, he felt a kind of...pleasure from the bottom of his heart.
It's like the joy of a person pouring water into an ant nest and watching the ants scurry out and then struggle to death in the water.
It’s like the pleasure of a swarm of insects cornering its cornered prey and then tearing it into pieces with one attack.
It was like the joy a giant dragon felt when he saw lower creatures trembling and crawling in front of him, begging for forgiveness.
"I never thought that there would be such an impact..."
Fang Zheng's biggest problem at the moment was that the abyss not only affected the human part of him, but it was like a chain reaction, and the Zerg and Time Dragon parts of his body were also activated. This meant that Fang Zheng had to endure the instinctive attacks from three races.
Coupled with the influence of the "external atmosphere" of this world, Fang Zheng found that his own personality was undergoing a subtle change.
If Esther hadn't reminded him in time, Fang Zheng really didn't know what would become of him if he continued.
"Owner?"
Hearing the voice in his ear, Fang Zheng turned his head and saw the silver-haired sword elf lying beside him, staring at him. At this moment, Esther was still wearing nothing but knee-high socks, but Fang Zheng was not in the mood to admire the body of his own elf.
"How are you?"
"Well... Strictly speaking, it's not very good..."
Fang Zheng reached out and touched Esther's head. The biggest problem now was that what Fang Zheng encountered was not a curse or a magical attack. The Abyss was the sedimentation of human nature, or to put it bluntly, the dark side of human nature. Every person has a good side and a bad side. If Fang Zheng wanted to give up the dark side of human nature, it would mean that he had become a pure "saint".
Religious lunatics might aspire to such a state, but Fang Zheng did not want this. He knew very well that if humans were not driven by the dark side, they would most likely accomplish nothing. Fang Zheng had to manage the Tiandao Palace, so he could not find a famous mountain or ancient temple to live in seclusion for the rest of his life.
If it was a curse, perhaps Esther could still solve it, but this was an "instinct" problem and it was not so easy to resolve.
"If I could travel to the world of immortals, maybe I could find some solutions..."
Fang Zheng muttered to himself as he looked up at the ceiling. Although he was acting quite normal in his daily life, once he entered combat mode, he would find that his emotions were beginning to run wild and out of control.
More importantly, since it is normal to be emotionally aroused during a battle, it is difficult for Fang Zheng to distinguish between normal "emotions" and twisted "darkness" during a fierce battle.
Not only that, the reason why Fang Zheng was so entangled was that... he found that as the influence of the "Abyss" power grew, his power from the dragon clan and the insect swarm also began to gradually return. After killing the golden-haired man, Fang Zheng had regained half of his original physical strength.
If Fang Zheng's judgment is correct, then when this world ends, the power of the insect swarm and the dragon clan in his body will be re-awakened.
It's like walking on a tightrope, the end represents endless treasure, but one wrong step could lead to falling into the abyss.
"Boom boom boom."
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking hard, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Fang Zheng gestured to Esther, and soon, a layer of light particles quickly emerged from the silver-haired sword elf's body, and then formed a set of white short skirt uniform - Esther could use the power of the elves to create clothes, so Fang Zheng also asked her to change into the combat uniform of the Xingli Hall in the Tiandao Palace, which was headed by Hecate.
At least this will give Fang Zheng some ideas.
More importantly, he didn't want to be seen as a pervert who went out for a stroll with a sexy pretty girl.
And since Esther is his own elf, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if she was seen naked by anyone other than himself?
"Come in."
Along with Fang Zheng's voice, the door opened, and then Walter walked in respectfully.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, the young lady wants to see you for something."
"Oh? What's that?"
While listening to Walter's words, Fang Zheng got out of bed and picked up his coat.
"Has there been another vampire attack?"
"No."
But this time, Walter gave Fang Zheng a negative answer.
"The new recruits from the HELLSING organization have arrived. The young lady hopes that you, Lord Fang Zheng, will go and meet them."
"Oh? You're finally here."
Fang Zheng was not surprised to hear Walter's answer. In the previous vampire attack, most of the guards of HELLSING were killed, and the remaining ones also withdrew from the battle sequence. Not only that, after this incident, the young lady finally began to pay attention to the internal defense of HELLSING - the previous security was only used to prevent the minimum invasion.
But now it seems that the HELLSING agency's level of preparedness needs to be raised.
"Is he from the military?"
"No."
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Walter shook his head.
"It's a mercenary."
"…Mercenaries?"
