In the next few days, Fang Zheng and his group stayed in St. Freya Academy temporarily as Theresa arranged. For Yui Kotegawa, Haruna Sairenji and Lala, they quickly adapted to life here - after all, this was also a school, and the daily routine was similar.
Just as the girls began to experience school life in the other world again, Fang Zheng also met the supreme ruler of destiny, Bishop Otto Acapulco.
"Hello, visitor from another world."
Bishop Otto on the screen looked very young, about 20 or 30 years old, with blond hair and a passable appearance. He smiled and stared at Fang Zheng.
"I have learned about your situation from Theresa's report. Destiny welcomes your arrival very much, but as you can see, this world is not peaceful."
“I saw that, too.”
Fang Zheng nodded, while Theresa next to him remained silent. In fact, she did submit a report, but did not provide detailed information on the identities of other people, especially the identities of Lala and the other three alien royals, which were concealed by Theresa.
"To be honest, I am very interested in the situation in the other world."
Bishop Otto smiled and continued.
"If possible, I would like to invite you to come to the Tianming headquarters and talk to me in person. Moreover, it is very safe in the Tianming headquarters. You are looking for a way to return, maybe the information collected by Tianming can help you."
"Oh, there's no rush for that."
However, Fang Zheng interrupted Otto just as he finished speaking.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I have made a decision."
"oh?"
Bishop Otto was slightly stunned when he heard Fang Zheng's answer.
"you mean……"
"In fact, I already know something about this academy. Well, I admire Principal Theresa's philosophy very much. Fighting for humanity, saving the world, and fighting against the Honkai beasts is such a great and glorious cause. So, we plan to stay here and assist Principal Theresa in fighting against the Honkai beasts. Since the world is facing an unprecedented crisis, we might as well stay here and fight for the world."
"????"
Hearing this, Theresa's eyes changed slightly, but she quickly restrained her expression.
What is this kid talking about?
She was sure that Fang Zheng was just talking nonsense. She had never said anything like praising ideas or saving the world to him. To be honest, Fang Zheng's performance was so exaggerated that Theresa didn't know how to react.
"Is that so..."
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Bishop Otto was silent for a moment, then he looked at Theresa with a smile.
"Well, Theresa, if that's the case, then I'll leave it to you. Take good care of our guests."
……Why?!
Seeing Bishop Otto's reaction, Theresa felt unwell. Although the other party looked harmless with a smile, Theresa was sure that Bishop Otto was definitely suspicious of whether she had said something to Fang Zheng and others and deceived them into making this decision.
But what can she do? Will she jump up and say she did nothing?
"...Okay, Your Excellency."
In desperation, Theresa had to take the blame.
"…Why did you say that just now?"
Leaving the communication room, Xiao An asked curiously. This time, Fang Zheng had designated Xiao An to accompany him on the phone call, because Xiao An usually had a blank expression on his face, so he didn't have to worry about any problems. And in fact, although Fang Zheng was talking nonsense when facing Bishop Otto, Xiao An actually didn't react at all.
After all, this was not the first time she had experienced Fang Zheng's nonsense.
If it were Haruna Sairenji or Yui Kotegawa, they might have jumped up on the spot.
"Listen carefully, Xiao An, that girl is definitely not a good person."
Fang Zheng snorted and spoke directly, while Xiao An blinked in confusion.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple. That guy is a handsome guy. If any handsome guy sees me, he will either hang himself out of shame or get angry and want to duel. This guy was able to talk to me calmly and smilingly. It's obvious that he wants to trick us. I'm not that stupid to fall for such a low-class trick."
“…”
Hearing this, Xiao An rolled his eyes and remained silent. Theresa, who was following behind the two of them, was sweating profusely - Have you two forgotten that I am still here? I am also a member of the Destiny Organization. Okay, you are making up stories about the Archbishop in front of me. Do you really think I am deaf?
However, after Fang Zheng finished speaking, he turned around.
"So Miss Theresa, can you please arrange it? As I said just now, we plan to conduct a detailed and thorough investigation of the situation in this world. I think directly participating in an actual battle is a very good choice."
“…”
How is that so? So what? Because Bishop Otto is not a good person, so you expect me to... Never mind, I don't know what to say.
Theresa felt her mind was in a mess.
But she decided to get back to the point.
"Are you planning on going to the battlefield yourself? Mr. Yuuki?"
"Of course, as I said, I need first-hand information. I have already looked up information about Honkai and Honkai energy at school, but reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. If I want to verify what is in the book, I still have to go and see it myself."
Fang Zheng was not simply bored. After all, from the information he had obtained, this Honkai energy was quite terrifying. It was radioactive in nature, and once it erupted, it would cause irreversible effects on the human body. According to the information Fang Zheng had seen in the academy, after each Honkai eruption, everything nearby would change drastically. For example, people would be mutated by the radiation of Honkai energy. Most humans would be transformed into zombie-like monsters, while a small number would become powerful beings like dead soldiers. Of course, the most powerful among them was naturally the Herrscher...
This thing is much more troublesome than the T virus. Fang Zheng certainly can't leave these little guys of his family to face this kind of danger, so he plans to go to the battlefield to investigate in person to see how this Honkai energy works, and then find a way to create something that can resist the erosion of Honkai energy.
"But fighting on the front line is very dangerous, Mr. Yuki..."
Theresa looked at Fang Zheng, somewhat puzzled. It was true that they had destroyed a large group of Honkai beasts before, but in Theresa's opinion, that was all due to the power of the huge battleship. As for what kind of power Fang Zheng himself possessed, Theresa had no idea.
"Oh, you can rest assured about that."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, looking like he didn't care.
"At least she's much better than these Valkyries in your academy."
“…”
Is this person from another world stupid or is he deliberately trying to piss me off?
Seeing Fang Zheng's nonchalant expression, Theresa was so angry that she wanted to jump up and hit him on the knee...
“Ding ding ding——!!”
At this moment, the communication tone suddenly rang, Theresa picked up the phone, then she raised her eyebrows, and after a moment Theresa turned her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"That's right, Mr. Yuki. We just received a report that we have detected a huge Houkai energy fluctuation and need to be dispatched immediately... If you are willing, you can come along."
"no problem."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm and nodded.
"Who's leading the team then?"
"I'll go there myself!"
Theresa stared at Fang Zheng and spoke viciously.
She made up her mind deep in her heart that she must let this man see with his own eyes how powerful their Valkyries were!!!
Soon, the two of them took a vehicle and arrived at the town where the Honkai energy fluctuations broke out. At this moment, the town had completely turned into a place of death. From a distance, the whole town looked as if it had been bombed by a nuclear bomb, and it was in ruins everywhere.
Theresa explained to Fang Zheng while staring at the destination in the distance.
"The Honkai energy fluctuations this time are even stronger than those of Honkai beasts, so we suspect that the other party may be trying to give birth to a new Herrscher..."
"So what you mean is that Honkai energy itself is conscious?"
"We are still studying the specific situation..."
To be honest, Theresa was not willing to bring Fang Zheng here, but on the other hand, she also knew that the other party came from another world, and it was a world that had unified the entire galaxy. Then the technological level of that world might be able to bring some help to herself and others, so she agreed to Fang Zheng's request and brought him here to carry out the mission.
"oh……"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded. It turned out that this was similar to drawing cards. A certain guy treated this world as a card pool, and then invested in Honkai energy to spend money. The Honkai beasts and Death Soldiers he got were all N cards and SR cards. Only the Herrscher was SSR.
But from what Theresa said, the appearance of the Herrscher seems to be quite rare. Could it be that this guy is a poor idiot who doesn't spend money and only gets things for free? Can he only get the Honkai energy by participating in activities, and then gamble his life with a ten-draw? If he succeeds, he will sneak in, and if he fails, he will continue to grind?
If this is the case, then it is understandable that the appearance rate of Herrscher is so low.
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, Theresa looked up at the town that was getting closer and closer, with a serious expression.
"We're here."
