Fang Zheng did what he said. Early the next morning, he took C.C to the island where the ruins were located.

"Is this it?"

Looking at the dilapidated cave in front of him, Fang Zheng's expression did not change, and C.C nodded.

"Yes, it is here... In fact..."

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed and said nothing.

"Forget it, let's go in first."

The entire cave was empty, with only abandoned instruments and cables everywhere proving that this place had existed. In this narrow cave, there was only something that looked like a stone door standing in front of it. C.C walked forward and put one hand on the stone door. Soon, the strange lines on the stone door glowed red. Then she stretched out her other hand and looked at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng reached out his hand without hesitation and held her hand.

The next moment, a mysterious force grabbed Fang Zheng's body and forced him out of this space.

When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, he was in a completely different space.

In the center of the temple that seemed to be suspended above the clouds, a tall man was standing there.

"You're finally here, C.C."

The tall man looked at C.C. and spoke, then he looked at Fang Zheng.

"Is this man your contractor?"

"That's right."

In response to the man's question, C.C. nodded.

“Oh…”

Hearing C.C.'s answer, the man narrowed his eyes and revealed an interested expression.

"Since you dare to appear in front of me, is it because you have made a decision? Or is it your contractor who gives you the courage to appear here?"

“…To be honest, I don’t know if this is correct.”

C.C answered silently, then she looked at Fang Zheng.

"Fang Zheng, this is Charles DI Britannia."

"I see."

After hearing C.C.'s introduction, Fang Zheng glanced at her, then turned around and looked at the person in front of him again.

"You are the one who intends to destroy humanity, right?"

"I don't know what the witch said to you, but we don't want to destroy the world."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Charles opened his mouth to answer.

"We just want to put an end to this tragedy in the world and get everything back on track."

"oh……"

Facing Charles' answer, Fang Zheng snorted.

"So what do you mean by right? Who decides that you are right? Is it God? Or the devil?"

"It's our own decision!"

Charles looked at Fang Zheng coldly, his expression not changing at all.

"We are human beings, and we decide to choose our own path. Is that wrong? The world is full of tragedy, and we want to end it all. It is because humans lie, hide their inner thoughts, and isolate themselves from others that all these tragedies are caused. Wars, fights, and a never-ending cycle of sorrow. We want to end it all."

As he spoke, Charles held out his hands.

"So, what's your choice?"

"My choice?"

Hearing Charles' question, Fang Zheng showed a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"Who gave you the courage to let me choose?"

Staring at the man in front of him, Fang Zheng slowly walked forward.

"Have you ever taken an exam, Your Majesty? For most people, taking an exam requires a very painful process. They have to study first, then review, and then they can answer the test paper. Of course, you can't get full marks every time. But this is also normal. It's the same in life. It's normal for humans to feel pain and sadness because they can't understand each other, and even to have various tragedies, just as it's normal for you to not get full marks every time."

At this point, Fang Zheng's tone gradually turned cold.

"However, this is life, this is the truth of this world. Each of us has to face an exam paper and hand in our own answers. However, you actually want to cheat with high technology now?"

Fang Zheng raised his head again, and this time his eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils.

"Do you really think there's no invigilator in the exam room?"

"You... who are you?"

As Fang Zheng's dragon power unfolded unscrupulously, Charles finally felt a strong pressure. Only the pride of being the emperor of the Britannian Empire supported him and allowed Charles to persist in front of Fang Zheng's dragon power and not kneel down. But even so, Charles was still pale, and his stiff face was covered with sweat.

"You don't need to know who I am."

Fang Zheng silently raised his right hand and produced a pitch-black sword out of thin air.

"You just need to know that cheating will be punished. Unfortunately, you have been kicked out of the exam room."

“Hehehe, hahahaha…”

However, in response to Fang Zheng's words, Charles raised his head and laughed.

"You want to kill me? Do you think you can kill me?"

As he spoke, Charles took off his gloves and showed his right palm to Fang Zheng and C.C. On his palm, there was a "V"-shaped mark that looked like it was flying, just like the one on C.C.'s forehead.

"This is……!"

Seeing this sign, C.C. was shocked.

"Charles, you stole V.V's CODE?!"

"That's right."

Facing C.C.'s question, Charles nodded complacently, while Fang Zheng looked at C.C. standing behind him curiously, waiting for her explanation. C.C. took a breath when she noticed Fang Zheng's gaze and spoke.

"CODE holders are like me. Although they don't have any special powers, they are immortal. At the same time, they can sign contracts with others and obtain GEASS. However, when the GEASS holder reaches the limit, they can kill the CODE holder, obtain the CODE, and become immortal. Moreover, GEASS is ineffective for CODE holders..."

"Isn't this why you signed the contract with me in the first place?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately understood, while C.C was speechless - she had never thought that she would actually run into a monster like Fang Zheng...

Now C.C doesn’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"That's great. Then I'll let you see it with your own eyes."

Fang Zheng's expression didn't change at all, and he looked at Charles as if he was looking at a mouse on a test bench.

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. If I let you see my strength, you will feel more at ease."

Listening to Fang Zheng chatting calmly with C.C., Charles, who was standing there, looked confused.

“…What are you talking about…?”

But before Charles could finish his words, Fang Zheng thrust out the dark sword in his hand and pierced through Charles' chest. Charles's two-meter-tall body swayed for a moment, then stood firm again. He looked at Fang Zheng standing in front of him and smiled mockingly.

"It's useless. You can't kill me at all. No matter the gun or the sword, you can't kill me anymore!"

Seeing this scene, C.C couldn't help but lower his head and sighed.

However, facing Charles's boasting, Fang Zheng's expression remained unchanged.

"Oh, I see."

"call--!"

As Fang Zheng's voice fell, suddenly, bright red flames burst out from the sword and quickly engulfed Charles' body.

“What is this?”

"I have killed many immortals."

Fang Zheng swung out his sword, took a step back, and looked at Charles in front of him leisurely.

"The Ancient God, the Fire King, neither of them is much more powerful than you, but you are so weak that even if you are immortal, you are still the weakest... To be honest, I didn't intend to waste the First Fire, but now... I'd better burn you."

“What, what is this?!”

Charles desperately slapped the flames on his body, but it was of no use. He could feel the scorching flames firmly devouring his body and soul, which finally made Charles feel an indescribable sense of fear.

"What on earth is this?! What on earth did you do to me? No... Aa ...

The flames became more intense, and in the blink of an eye, the tall Emperor of the Britannia Empire turned into a fire man. He staggered around, trying to escape from something. But before he took two steps, his legs were burned to charcoal, and with a "crack" they broke and turned into dust. Then Charles fell heavily to the ground, splashing a series of sparks.

“No…ah…no…my…our…!!”

The flames rose higher and higher, and the charred body in the flames gradually stopped struggling. Finally, as the sound faded away, Charles' body and soul were burned cleanly, without any residue left.

"So you see, it's actually very easy to kill an immortal."

Looking at the ashes in front of him, Fang Zheng curled his lips and then turned to look at C.C.

"How about it? Do you want to try it too?"
