In the following period of time, Fang Zheng, Sayu and others began to investigate and study the situation in this world, and they did gain some results.
First of all, the world is no longer dominated by humans. It can even be said that humans have almost disappeared. At least after Fang Zheng and his team searched around, they found only a few humans, and no trace of humans was left.
The main creatures in this world right now are the strange creatures from the great souls, such as Pixie and Huapo. By the way, although the races of these strange creatures are different, they are all demons.
Including angels.
That’s right, there are angels in this world, but the angels here are very different from the angels in people’s impressions. They don’t have the kindness and goodness of the angels in myths and legends at all. Instead, the angels here are pure power-supremacists who only obey the strong and believe that the existence of the weak is worthless.
Well...if this thing appeared in the world, the believers' three views would probably be completely destroyed.
Therefore, these races are collectively called demons - just like no matter what race or nationality you are, you are all human.
The pyramid ecological chain of this world has also changed because of this. At the bottom are the spirits left after humans are decomposed. Their existence is the most fragile and helpless. If they are discovered by the ferocious demons, they will be devoured. In addition, they can hardly leave their own territory. They are completely earthbound creatures. This means that if the demons come to their door, these unlucky bugs can't escape.
Secondly, there is a kind of humanoid creatures called humanoids. According to the information obtained by Fang Zheng and others, these humanoids look no different from ordinary humans, but they are not humans. Instead, they are clay figures molded from mud in the sewers of Asakusa. These humanoids are said to be created by an organization called Mandala to squeeze out evil spirits.
And here, we have to mention the evil spirit.
The evil spirits are a kind of spiritual power. They appear as a large group of red tadpoles that condense and flow. Of course, Fang Zheng has never seen this thing before, but the fairy told him that all demons must rely on evil spirits to maintain their existence, and the more evil spirits a demon has, the stronger it is - well, so this thing is most likely those decomposed human souls.
After all, considering that demons eat earthbound spirits, this possibility is quite high.
Therefore, for the demons, collecting evil spirits is the best way for them to improve their strength.
In addition, Fang Zheng also learned from Pixie a rumor that was widely circulated among demons - that the world was not yet formed and was in chaos. As long as you collect enough evil spirits, you can have your own truth, and if you have the truth, you can go to the glowing sphere suspended in the center of the world, Kagutsuchi, and create a new world there!
Now in Tokyo, two forces are fighting each other for this. One of them is the Void Organization. It is said that the leader of this organization is a human, but there are many demons under his leadership. Their goal is to make the whole world return to nothingness and become a silent place where only time passes.
Another organization is Mandala, led by the Bull-Headed Heavenly King. This organization is a power-first organization that advocates violence. They like to capture demons that come to their territory and imprison them for trial. The trial requires the prisoner to duel with the demons of Mandala. If the prisoner survives three consecutive duels, he will be acquitted - this shows how violent this organization is.
Fang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately asked the goblins to investigate and find the bases of the two organizations. He didn't know how to gather the evil spirits, but he didn't need to know. Aren't two organizations already collecting them? Wouldn't it be better if he just robbed them?
What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
Besides, look at the creeds of these two organizations, one is nihilism and the other is elitism. What would happen if they were allowed to create the world?
At this time, isn't it time for a Paladin like me with good conduct to take the stage?
Confiscate their illegal gains, and then restore the world to its original state... this is what I should do.
How can saving the world be called robbery?
However, what Fang Zheng was most concerned about was the Void Organization. It was said that the leader of this organization was a human, but he was able to command a large group of demons. This was a very strange thing in itself, so Fang Zheng suspected that the other party might have some connection with the destruction of this world. After all, if it was just an ordinary human, the preparations were too thoughtful. Thinking back to the incidents of evil spirits injuring people that Ida had shown him before... Well, Fang Zheng always felt that this organization had some secrets.
Speaking of Ida, there has been no news since she went to the Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters. I don't know if she died of bad luck or encountered something else. And the three psychic girls also disappeared after the destruction of the world. Considering that they can communicate with spirits, it should not be so easy for the devil to kill them. Most likely, they took this opportunity to escape.
As for Fang Zheng's building, it has now completely become a devil's den.
Yes, literally.
After that, with Fang Zheng's permission, the entire goblin clan happily moved into the building. As a result, cute little Pixies could be seen flapping their wings and flying around everywhere, and even Pumpkin Head could be seen holding lanterns to light up the corridors. Of course, Fang Zheng also met the Goblin King Oberon, a boy with butterfly wings, wearing a crown, and about the same age as a child. He also thanked Fang Zheng very much for providing them with shelter, and expressed his willingness to help Fang Zheng protect the building... Well, for Fang Zheng, that was enough.
At the moment, Fang Zheng was riding in his own airship, observing the environment below.
"Is that the base of the Void Organization?"
Looking at the stadium-like building on the ground in the distance, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, they seem to be under attack."
At this time, Sayu also turned her eyes away from the telescope and reported to Fang Zheng.
"Well, Pixie said that Mandala has been eyeing the Void Organization and wants to take action. Now it seems that they really intend to destroy the Void Organization and snatch their evil spirits."
“Are we really going to do this?”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Hanabi asked uneasily.
"Isn't it a bit too...too much to rob others?"
"This is all about making this world right again, Hanabi."
Sayu looked at Hanabi and spoke.
"You have also heard the creeds of these two organizations. What do you think would happen if we created the world according to their ideas?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Hua Huo was speechless for a moment.
"Don't you want the world to return to its original state? You also want to see your family again."
"Um……"
This time, Hanabi finally stopped talking. Just as Sayu said, she also wanted to meet her family. Now that something like this had happened, it was clear that her family was in great danger. If there was a way to restore the world to its original state, then... she could still meet her family.
"Let's go to Mandala first to check the situation."
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then made a decision.
"Mandala should be organized by the devil. I'll go see if I can snatch the evil spirit directly from it."
"Are we going too, Mr. Founder?"
"No, you guys stay on the airship."
Having said that, Fang Zheng retracted his gaze and looked towards the tall building on the other side not far away. If Pixie's information was correct, that should be Mandala's headquarters building in Ikebukuro.
"I will go meet the Bull-Headed Heavenly King by myself."
It’s a demon with a bull’s head. Could it be the Bull Demon King?
If that’s the case, then will there be Xiao Tian… ahem, what about Mrs. Niu?
Soon, under Fang Zheng's operation, the airship slowly stopped on the ground outside Ikebukuro. Then Fang Zheng jumped off and walked towards the street covered with yellow sand in the distance.
And Hua Huo stared at Fang Zheng's back anxiously.
"Sayu, is it really okay for Mr. Fangzheng to go alone?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang Zheng, it's fine."
In contrast, Sayu was clearly full of confidence.
"On the contrary, those demons in Mandala might be in trouble."
