Nemesis remembered reading this sentence in a book on Earth.
If you are fearless, it means you haven't encountered anything that truly scares you.
Nemesis scoffed at this statement.
She was also a product of the "Eve Project" that cultivated Xiao An, but unlike Xiao An and Meiya, Nemesis' body was not cloned from human DNA like them. Instead, the Nemesis Project was originally intended to use dark matter to shape the body and then create a new life.
According to the original plan, Xiao An and Meiya were just experimental subjects, and Nemesis was the final form of this plan. After all, a transformation weapon that uses dark matter to shape its body is almost truly invincible and has nothing to fear. It doesn't need to be too many, even if it can mass-produce a small team, it will be no problem to conquer the universe.
But in the end, the plan failed.
Nemesis' body was not formed, but her soul had been born. After that, she wandered around the research institute, secretly viewing the information, and finally used dark matter to form her own body.
From this point of view, Nemesis is almost immortal. Even if she is hung on a heavy particle cannon and executed, as long as there is dark matter, she can continue to regenerate. The only difference is that she is faster or slower.
Because of this, Nemesis never thought that she would encounter anything that would scare her. Because in essence, Nemesis itself is a spiritual life form, and has no entity at all. Even if you beat her into pieces, it will not cause any harm to her.
Oh, of course, energy is consumed.
But other than that, Nemesis felt he was invincible.
That's why she is eager to start a war and destroy everything. With her ability to manipulate dark matter, Nemesis doesn't even take the overlord who conquered the entire galaxy seriously, let alone a mere Earthling.
But at this moment... looking at the tentacles formed by shadows extending from behind Fang Zheng, Nemesis felt fear for the first time.
She was not afraid of the tentacles themselves, but at the moment when the tentacles appeared, Nemesis suddenly felt an indescribable noise coming from the surroundings. It sounded like someone was mumbling to himself, and this sound echoed in her mind, giving Nemesis a strange illusion - as if she was in the dark universe at this moment, looking at the dark, vast universe in front of her.
At the same time, the originally dark universe began to transform into some kind of tangible huge existence. When the darkness in front of her began to wriggle, Nemesis realized that what she thought were the twinkling points of starlight were actually the other party's eyes...
"No--!!!!"
At this moment, an indescribable fear suddenly erupted from the depths of Nemesis' heart. She almost screamed, and then her whole body turned into black mist, flying madly towards the sky.
"Hey, hey, hey, run, little girl, run!!"
Seeing Nemesis turn around and run, Fang Zheng also chuckled, then waved his hand, and the next moment the dark shadow turned into a giant dragon, spreading its wings and chasing after Nemesis.
Nemesis could swear that she had never run so fast before. She had almost abandoned all the elements that made up her body and fled madly towards the sky in the form of a spirit body. If it were any other opponent, this alone would be enough to make them surrender.
Unfortunately, however, Fang Zheng's ancient god power also works in the spiritual realm, and is even more effective than Nemesis.
“Clatter…”
Nemesis could hear the strange noise coming from behind without turning around. At this moment, she was like a tourist desperately trying to escape in a disaster movie, and behind her were huge waves hundreds of meters high, and the surging sea water was chasing her closely. If she relaxed a little, she would be swallowed by the sea water.
Just when Nemesis was about to despair, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the originally dark sky suddenly became clear, and Nemesis could even see the starry sky outside. At the same time, the strange wave behind her suddenly stagnated, as if it was blocked by something.
At this moment, Nemesis no longer cared about what was happening behind him. He quickly dodged and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
"Tsk, this guy can really run."
After sensing the disappearance of Nemesis's soul reaction, Fang Zheng frowned. He had originally wanted to have some fun, but he didn't expect Nemesis to run so fast...
Fang Zheng took back the shadow dragon with a flick of his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, the frozen wilderness around him disappeared and the quiet residential area reappeared in front of Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng glanced at the sky and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that sometimes the inherent barrier is more useful than the seal..."
If Nemesis hadn't run away, Fang Zheng would have forgotten that what he had put up was a seal, not an inherent barrier. Unlike an inherent barrier, a seal simply covers an area and transfers it to another world - but there is a problem with a seal, that is, it is not like an inherent barrier that locks people in.
Just like in Shana's world, whoever releases the seal, other fire mist warriors or apostles can get in and out.
However, when the Fire Mist Warriors and their disciples meet, they usually fight to the death and rarely run away.
Fang Zheng went a step further. As a prophecy mage, he released a dimensional anchor at the same time as he released the seal. This way, even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, he couldn't teleport away... but he still got beaten in the end.
However, Nemesis is completely immune to both of these methods.
The dimensional anchor can only block teleportation. To put it bluntly, Nemesis still relies on her own two legs to run, so this time the dimensional anchor can't seal her. And the seal is not like the inherent barrier, as long as anyone with ability can enter and exit at will, only ordinary people will be isolated outside.
It’s just that Fang Zheng had never encountered someone who could run so fast before when he released Feng Jue. The spirit body is different from the soul, and Nemesis itself is dark matter-affinity. Fang Zheng had never encountered such a weird person before, and he accidentally let her run away...
But just run away.
Fang Zheng clapped his hands, shrugged his shoulders and put the matter behind him. After all, his original intention was to beat this guy up, and in fact, Fang Zheng had already pinned Nemesis to the ground, which was also a revenge. The reason why he wanted to catch Nemesis was that Fang Zheng wanted to ask her about the DARKNESS plan. Now that she ran away, he would not ask her.
Although Fang Zheng discovered a small flaw in his battle with Nemesis, as for a remedial plan, Fang Zheng said - he had none!
Indeed, the best way is not to open the inherent barrier, but the inherent barrier is opened by humans? Didn't you see that Shirou Emiya lost one arm just by projecting a sword? If he really opened the inherent barrier, wouldn't he explode and spiral into the sky? Fang Zheng's body is still that of an ordinary person. If he returns to his original body, he can open the inherent barrier whenever he wants, but here Fang Zheng's body can't support the inherent barrier. He might open the inherent barrier and fall down the next moment.
The sealing effect is stronger than the inherent barrier. At least Fang Zheng doesn't have to lie down and die after using it.
As for Nemesis, Fang Zheng didn't care. He didn't need to chase her down anyway. Now it was a question of whether Nemesis dared to approach him. After all, Kurosaki Meiya and Xiao An, her two targets were here. If she came, it would be like jumping into Fang Zheng's hands. If she didn't come... she wouldn't come.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, turned around and went back to school humming a song.
“Haaaah…haaah…”
On the other side, Nemesis was floating in the sky, gasping for breath. Fortunately, her spirit body could not sweat, otherwise she would have been sweating profusely.
What the hell is that?
Nemesis stared at the ground in front of her in doubt. She didn't even know where she was. In fact, in order to avoid Fang Zheng's attack, Nemesis almost ran out of the atmosphere in a panic. For a while, Nemesis planned to stay in the universe and not go back. But when she looked around the dark space, the weird feeling from before appeared in Nemesis' heart again, so she hurriedly went back to the earth again, and didn't relax until she saw the land and blue sky and white clouds in front of her.
At this moment, Nemesis was no different from a child who was so scared after hearing a ghost story that he hid under the quilt with the light on and covered his head.
I didn't expect this man to be so difficult...
At this moment, Nemesis also had a solemn expression on her face. Of course, she had learned from Kurosaki Meiya that Fang Zheng's fighting ability was very strong, but in Nemesis's view, Fang Zheng was simply strong in fighting ability and had no chance of winning against her.
But now it seems... apparently that is not the case.
So... should I give up my plan?
This thought emerged in Nemesis' mind, but she shook her head desperately to dispel it.
Are you kidding me? This is just the beginning, and... this feeling of fear...
Nemesis clenched his fists tightly, but a hint of excitement emerged deep in his heart.
It's like being scared after watching a horror movie and then shouting that it was so thrilling and exciting.
You have to know that before this, she had never tasted what fear was!
I won't give up just like that!
Looking at the ground in front of him, Nemesis clenched his fists again.
She wanted to taste that feeling again, and even... wanted to conquer it!
