When the Edilu Courtyard was completely destroyed in a sea of fire, everyone had already embarked on their journey home.
Leizi took Lei to rest early. Lei was heartbroken at the moment. She didn't expect that even though she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, it would end like this. Everything in her dream was gone, replaced by only destruction and death.
As for Misaka Mikoto...
"Sorry, Kuroko, I want to rest early today."
"Well, good night, onee-sama."
Seeing Misaka Mikoto return to the room with a pale face, Shirai Kuroko sighed. She also knew why Misaka Mikoto was like this. After all, although they did not participate in the battle before, everything they saw... To be honest, even Shirai Kuroko felt uncomfortable when she thought about it now.
It's not surprising that Misaka Mikoto would show this expression.
As for Shirai Kuroko herself...
After taking a look around to see that there was no one around, Shirai Kuroko turned around, quietly walked to the end of the passage, and then disappeared in a flash.
When everything was over, it was already late at night.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, you did this on purpose."
Heizi, who was lying in Fang Zheng's arms with his long hair scattered, raised his head in dissatisfaction and glared at Fang Zheng.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"You only needed to talk about what happened before, so why did you show us that scene? Don't you think that scene is too exciting for Onee-sama?"
Having said that, Shirai Kuroko reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng's chest.
"You did this on purpose!"
"Haha, you can say whatever you want, but with Misaka Mikoto's identity, it's only a matter of time before she gets involved in this kind of thing... Oh, no, isn't she already involved? It's not bad to give her a little excitement, at least it can help her be mentally prepared."
Fang Zheng spoke as he stroked Shirai Kuroko's smooth and delicate skin.
"And it seems that you are also quite frightened."
"What can I do? I'm just a girl after all."
Hearing this, Kuroko's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and buried it in Fang Zheng's chest. This was also the reason why she came to Fang Zheng today. In fact, those scenes before not only scared Misaka Mikoto, but also Shirai Kuroko was also uneasy, so she came here, hoping to seek some comfort.
"I certainly think that's wrong. No matter what the reason, doing this kind of thing will only lead to tragedy... and it did lead to tragedy."
"If Misaka Mikoto was like you, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
"Do you think that my sister is not good?"
Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but reach out his hand and pinch Fang Zheng's waist viciously - of course, this didn't hurt Fang Zheng at all.
"Of course not, but she is too noble... This kind of nobleness can also become a sharp knife to some extent, which is not good for her future. Of course, I hope she can keep her original heart, but I also hope she can be more mature. Just think about it, if she traveled to the Edielu Courtyard of that era and learned that the holy war angels were used for experiments there, what would she do?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shirai Kuroko frowned. As the person who knew Misaka Mikoto best, for her, what choice Misaka Mikoto would make was not a problem at all. The problem was what kind of consequences her choice would lead to.
"As a Lv5, Misaka Mikoto is used to having everything go smoothly. She must understand that this world cannot be changed by her alone. Even if she is Lv5, there are very few things she can do. If she cannot think outside of this framework, she will run into other troubles sooner or later."
That's right, this is the reason why Fang Zheng brought Misaka Mikoto to this world, not to make her a thug, but to let Misaka Mikoto understand that there is nothing in this world that she can handle alone. And the doomsday world is obviously the world that can make a person feel the powerlessness of an individual the most.
In fact, it is the same in the original work. Misaka Mikoto only solved the problem itself, but she could not solve the various problems that arose from it, including the sisters. Even if Kamijou Touma defeated Accelerator, what would happen? If Aleister did not need the sisters to complete the experiment, how would Misaka Mikoto deal with the remaining problems of more than 10,000 sisters? She was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with little money and no connections. She did not even have a faction and power like Shokuhou Misaki.
So how can Misaka Mikoto deal with this matter?
Even if she goes to ask her friends, only Shirai Kuroko might be able to help a little. Uiharu and Saten Ruiko are also powerless in this regard.
Unlike Shokuhou Misaki, even without using "psychological control", once she has any problems, she can completely hand it over to her own faction to solve.
In comparison, Misaka Mikoto is more like those lone knights in martial arts novels. They look particularly handsome for their chivalrous deeds, but generally speaking, such people end up dying miserably.
There was not even anyone to collect the bodies.
Therefore, if Fang Zheng wants to recruit Misaka Mikoto to join Tendao Palace, he must make her identify with the organization ideologically, rely on the organization politically, obey the organization at work, and trust the organization emotionally... instead of engaging in personal heroism and placing the role of the individual above the collective and the people.
Even if Fang Zheng wants to save the world, he doesn't rely on himself alone. He will use all the forces, including Tiandao Palace, the Sea Mist Fleet, the Zerg, and the players. Fang Zheng is just a vanguard and controls the overall situation. He doesn't have to do everything himself. In fact, Fang Zheng only does the most important things, and he leaves the rest to others.
Fang Zheng brought Misaka Mikoto out this time to make her realize that even for himself, a god, saving the world is not something that can be done easily by one person.
Now it seems that Misaka Mikoto has started thinking about this problem.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Shirai Kuroko didn't seem to intend to continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, she blushed and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I have something I want to ask you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"That's... that..."
At this point, Shirai Kuroko felt a little embarrassed to speak, but she still gritted her teeth and continued asking.
"Um...will we have children?"
"Hmm... Honestly, this is difficult."
"Why?!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Shirai Kuroko looked at him in surprise.
"Why, aren't you a god?"
"……so what?"
"Don't the gods in mythology always like to have sex with mortals, and then don't those mortals get pregnant? Look at Perseus, Hercules, Dionysus..."
"…I'm not that old pervert Zeus."
"...Mr. Fang Zheng, with all due respect, I don't think you are any better than Zeus."
"I think I have more integrity than Zeus."
“I really didn’t see that.”
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng chuckled and turned over.
"Then I'll let you experience it for yourself."
"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, don't... Hey, why is it getting bigger again...!"
“Are you ready?”
"Ah... No... Just now..."
Soon, Shirai Kuroko's shouting was interrupted by the continuous sound of labored breathing, and a new wave of excitement arose in the dark room.
When Fang Zheng walked out of the room refreshed, it was already the morning of the next day.
"I didn't expect it to get to this point... Well, it turns out that these are all mistakes made when you are young."
Thinking back to Shirai Kuroko who was still unconscious in his bedroom, Fang Zheng shook his head. Maybe he had gone a little too far last night... This was bad. What if Misaka Mikoto asked about it...
"Mr. Fang Zheng!"
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Fang Zheng had just thought of this when he saw Misaka Mikoto appear in front of him, which scared him.
"Uh...what is it?"
Fang Zheng coughed and looked at Misaka Mikoto - how should he answer if she asked him where Kuroko had gone?
You can't say you're in your own room.
Went to the bathroom because of a stomach upset?
It doesn’t seem to work…
"I have something I want to talk to you about in private, is that ok?"
"Of course no problem, let's go to the terrace."
If they stayed here, it would be bad if Shirai Kuroko ran out in a daze and was seen by Misaka Mikoto, so Fang Zheng hurriedly took Misaka Mikoto to the terrace on the other side. There, looking at the outside world through the window, Misaka Mikoto was silent for a moment, and then she asked.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, I want to ask...is there anything I can do?"
"…Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I, I want to do something!"
Facing Fang Zheng, Misaka Mikoto seemed unable to organize her words and spoke in a panic.
"After seeing what happened to Wu La... and Lei and the others, I feel like I want to do my part for this world, and I want to help! I want everyone to live a good life, no longer threatened by wild gods or polluted beasts, and no longer have to worry about food and safety, but I don't know how to do it..."
So that's why, did you develop a sense of mission? This is not surprising.
Fang Zheng was not surprised by Misaka Mikoto's request. If he was just an ordinary person, he would at most just sigh, "I learned a lot from you," and then let it go. But Misaka Mikoto was different. After all, she was a Lv5 superpower user with extraordinary abilities. At the moment, Misaka Mikoto did not have a clear goal. She simply felt that she should do something... Well, this was also a good development.
“This is not your world.”
"I know, but... I don't want that to happen again, and I think I should be able to do something..."
“… Yeah, I understand.”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Since you are so determined, that's fine."
It’s about time that this young lady could experience it for herself.
