Finally, after Bishop Carl and his team finished their investigation, they left the Fire Nation and returned to the Holy City.

Before leaving, although they hoped to reconcile the relationship between the two sides, the Fire Nation obviously did not intend to reconcile with the Zerg. No matter what Bishop Karl and his men said, the official attitude of the Fire Nation was very clear, that is - the Zerg must die! !

In desperation, Bishop Karl and others had to return to the Holy City. After several days of closed-door meetings, the Temple issued a public statement - they publicly acknowledged that the Zerg was part of the Order Civilization, and called on both the Zerg and the Fire Nation to stop the conflict and sit down to have a good talk.

The Fire Nation was naturally furious about the Temple's statement. They angrily accused the Temple of deliberately covering up the facts and spreading lies because of the discord between the two countries. They even directly declared that they suspected that those monsters had some unclear relationship with the Temple (from a certain perspective, they actually guessed it right).

At the same time, the Fire Nation also created public opinion in the country, telling the people that the Holy Nation would not come to help, and even sided with those monsters. This also made the relationship between the two countries extremely tense, and some people from the Holy Nation were even expelled and beaten in the Fire Nation.

The Temple naturally strongly condemned this, but other than that, neither side took any extreme actions.

The Temple knew very well that although the Fire Nation was now aggressive and looked like "I will go to the insect swarm tomorrow", in fact, for a long time, the Fire Nation would not be able to send troops to fight against the insect beasts. The reason was simple. The death of 50,000 soldiers was a huge loss for the Fire Nation. The Wealth Nation could give it money, but no matter how rich it was, it could not produce people.

Although the destruction of a legion was not enough to cause serious damage to the Fire Nation, it was enough to make them suffer. It was also because of this that they would never dare to attack the Zerg again before the Fire Nation recovered. And now they acted like this just to appease their own people and maintain stability.

After all, Bishop Carl has already passed on the Insect Mother's warning to the Fire Nation. Even if they appear to be dismissive on the surface, they will secretly weigh the danger of this warning.

Of course, if the Fire Nation insists on seeking death, the Temple can do nothing about it.

After all, there is an endless ocean between the two sides, and we are unable to reach or help.

However, the conflict between the Fire Nation and the Holy Religion Nation did not affect Fang Zheng. He had already drawn a red line for the Fire Nation through Miluen. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's up to you to do it anyway.

After making that statement, Fang Zheng no longer paid attention to the Fire Nation's movements. He had already told Miluen and Lulana that if the Fire Nation attacked again, the Zerg could "move freely".

What exactly does this mean... Well, just understand the spirit of it yourself.

At the moment, Fang Zheng was sitting in front of the desk, fiddling with a square crystal cube curiously. Inside the crystal cube was a small piece of something that looked like a crystal condensate. This was a part of "that thing" that Fang Zheng had collected from the deep-sea spirit crystal vein before. After learning from the Ishimura that this thing was not a living thing but a nanomachine, Fang Zheng handed it to Nymph for investigation. Nymph lived up to expectations and gave the results of the investigation in a short time.

"So... you're saying these nanomachines are... part of something?"

"To be exact, it is a part of the wreckage, Master."

"It looks like a living thing..."

After hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng recalled the scene when he transformed into Malthael and dived into the deep sea, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"There are countless ways to combine nanomachines, depending on the situation."

Having said that, Nymph spread out her hands.

"In fact, the bodies of the sea fog mental models under your command are also made up of nanomachines. Because the combination of nanomachines simulates the entire human activity process very well, they look no different from humans."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng couldn't help but curl his lips.

In other words, the ship girls under his command are strictly speaking robots?

But to be honest, they look exactly the same as humans. The touch of their skin and body temperature are no different from humans, and even their private parts are exactly the same. Fang Zheng overlooked the fact that these ship girls are essentially warships.

Hmm? You ask how Fang Zheng knew that?

Well... this has to start with the ridiculous exchange event in the Blue World... Because what was needed at the time was the girl's underwear as the exchange material, Fang Zheng had no choice but to use time stop to "refresh and plunder materials". Of course, in this process, he would inevitably see some...

These are all mistakes I made when I was young...

But if you think about it carefully, since it's a robot, it shouldn't be considered a crime.

Well, that must be it!

Fang Zheng gave his own logic a check mark, satisfied with it, and then returned to the topic.

"So, what was this nanomachine originally used for?"

"I don't know about that, Master."

Nymph shook her head.

"In fact, the reason why these nanomachines are in their current state is that they have lost their core and therefore cannot maintain a stable shape."

"But didn't they attack me in the seabed mine?"

"That's an automatic command triggered by the nanomachine after being stimulated. At least for now, this nanomachine should be made with spirit crystals as its energy core and is part of some kind of creation with self-defense function... But the information is limited, and this is all I can get."

"So...is there any way we can use this thing?"

"I'm sorry... Master."

This time, Nymph showed a rare frustrated expression.

"If I had more advanced equipment, I might be able to use it, but..."

"That can't be helped."

After hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The Star Spirit technology in Fang Zheng's hands was all exchanged, and it was not compatible with Nymph's Synapse technology. In the world Fang Zheng traveled through, the most advanced ones were The Matrix and the robot-making monster world. However, the technology level of these two worlds was lower than that of Synapse. Fang Zheng could not bring back any good things that Nymph could use...

"Titrate...titrate..."

At this moment, suddenly, an alarm sounded in Fang Zheng's ears, and then a message box suddenly popped up on the system in front of Fang Zheng.

[Assistance mission trigger]

Seeing the system information in front of him, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he stood up abruptly.

The fate of the universe!?

Could it be that the background of the dungeon I'm going to this time is in space? !
