"Your existence is a mistake!"

Hearing this, Fate's face suddenly turned extremely pale. Although she had guessed something when she saw Alicia before, when Precia said this in front of her, Fate still felt the heart-wrenching pain. Her legs went soft and she fell to her knees.

"Fate!"

Seeing this, the girls around hurried forward to help her up. However, at this time, Precia seemed to vent her anger and began to yell angrily.

"I spent so much effort to create you, but why, why are you nothing like Alicia? Alicia is obedient most of the time, but sometimes she can be very naughty. And you? You are just a puppet, a puppet that will do whatever I say! Alicia doesn't have any magical talent, but why do you have such power? You are not my daughter at all! No!! I want to resurrect my lovely daughter, not create a monster like you!"

“Stop talking!!”

Hearing this, Nanoha finally couldn't help but scream, while Illya and Sakura glared at her angrily.

"How could you do this to Fate? She worked so hard for you..."

"Yes... Even if she is not your real daughter, but..."

However, before they could finish their words, Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting the girls' questioning.

"Okay, stop talking for now."

"But, teacher..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sakura opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Tomoyo next to her held her shoulders and shook her head silently.

It seems there are still people who understand.

After looking at Zhishi, Fang Zheng nodded at her, then looked at Precia again.

"In other words, your ultimate goal of collecting the Holy Stone Seeds is to resurrect your daughter, Alicia Testrosa, right?"

"That's it."

Since everything had been said, Precia would not hide anything anymore and nodded happily. But Fang Zheng's words made Precia's face suddenly change.

"So, if I help you revive your daughter, then you don't need to collect the seeds of the sacred stone, is that right?"

"you……?"

Hearing this, Precia widened her eyes and looked at Fang Zheng.

"You...what did you say? You can...revive Alicia?"

"certainly."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"So I need to confirm, as long as I revive Alicia, will you give up collecting the seeds of the Holy Stone and endangering the world?"

“I do!!”

At this moment, Precia almost fell to her knees at Fang Zheng's feet, raised her head and looked at him.

"As long as I can revive Alicia, I'll do anything! You can ask me to do anything!"

"Then I hope you can serve the Tiandao Palace."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng naturally proposed his own conditions. He knew that Precia was an excellent great magician and a scholar, and Fang Zheng's Tiandao Palace also needed talents in this field. After all, although Fang Zheng now had top technology and magic knowledge, he was still groping in the dark about how to combine the two. In Nanoha's world, magic technology had already been born, and the level was very high. With this opportunity, Fang Zheng would certainly not miss the idea of ​​bringing Precia into Tiandao Palace to improve the technology tree.

"I do!"

This time, Precia nodded vigorously without any hesitation.

"I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do!"

“…”

Looking at the crazy woman in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed.

"Now that you've made your decision... However, everything you did to Fate before... Have you ever thought about what Alicia would think if she saw it?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Precia's expression changed slightly, but this time, Fang Zheng did not say anything, but turned around and walked to Fate's side. Seeing him appear, Fate looked up at Fang Zheng blankly, while Fang Zheng stared at Fate and then stretched out his hand.

"Come out, Alicia."

"Why?"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's words. They looked at Fang Zheng who was reaching out his hand to Fate, completely unaware of what the other party was doing. Fang Zheng continued to stare at Fate and spoke word by word.

"You know what I'm talking about, come... hold my hand... yeah, like this..."

The next moment, an unimaginable scene appeared in front of everyone.

Faint golden light particles gradually appeared in front of Fang Zheng's outstretched hand. Then, a little girl about five or six years old, wearing a dress and looking exactly like Fate, appeared out of thin air. She walked out of Fate's body with a look of uneasiness and sadness on her face.

"Alicia..."

Fate stared at the girl in front of him in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment. Upon hearing her words, Alicia turned her head and looked at Fate with a sad smile.

"I'm sorry, Fate... Mother is actually a gentle person, but... it's because she is too gentle that she loses her mind..."

"Alicia! Alicia!"

However, before Alicia could finish her words, Precia almost crawled in front of Alicia and hugged her tightly.

"My daughter... my daughter... it's mom... it's mom's fault. If it wasn't mom at that time..."

"This isn't your fault, Mom..."

Alicia reached out, hugged Precia, and whispered in her ear.

"As for me, I have been in Fate's body, watching my mother... I am really sad, because my mother... became what she is now because of me..."

“Woo… woo…”

Hearing what Alicia said, Precia said nothing but just burst into tears.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Alicia's soul is the reason why Fang Zheng dares to come to Precia.

Fang Zhengke still remembered that in the final battle in the second part of the Nanoha animation, Fate was absorbed by the Book of Darkness and spent some time in a false world, where only Alicia was real. So he always suspected that part of Alicia's soul must be hidden in Fate's body.

Fortunately, when examining Fate, Fang Zheng proved his guess, so he brought everyone here to negotiate with Precia.

But now...

“Ahem.”

Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Fang Zheng had to cough, interrupting this touching reunion.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but I must remind you that this is not a farewell of life and death. What we have to do next is to resurrect Alicia..."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Hearing this, Precia wiped her eyes a little embarrassedly, then stood up respectfully and looked at Fang Zheng.

"What should I do next?"

"Next, I need a part of your soul."

Fang Zheng also made an explanation without any hesitation.

"As you can see, Alicia currently only has a part of her soul left. Her soul is not complete enough to revive, so I need to take some of your soul power out of her and give it to her... But I have to remind you that once the soul power is intercepted, your strength will be greatly reduced, perhaps even worse than Fate, and your body will be weak for a while..."

"It doesn't matter!"

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Precia.

"I am willing! As long as my daughter can be resurrected, I am willing to do anything, even my own life!"

Hearing this, Fate looked at Precia with a confused expression.
