Chapter 1813 - 1811: Escaped?!
Having been in this world for quite some time, Fang Zheng has almost completed everything he needed to do. There’s only one last piece missing for the Goddess of Order’s coordinates. According to Reiji, it’s guarded by her clan. However, if Fang Zheng wants to take this piece of colored metal, he has to marry Reiji... or at least get engaged, which makes Fang Zheng quite troubled.
Honestly, he’d rather Reiji be an enemy so he could just take it directly. Unfortunately, Reiji has a stubborn personality. She’s not stopping Fang Zheng from taking the colored metal, but Fang Zheng knows that once he gets it, Reiji will stick to him...
...hmm? It doesn’t seem any different from the current situation?
Although he figured this out...
"I can’t marry you now."
Looking at Reiji in front of him, Fang Zheng spoke each word clearly, and Reiji silently listened.
"And you know I have a fiancée. If we are to get married, there’s an order to things... do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Reiji nodded.
"Our ancestors once said that the greatest joy in life is to take the enemy’s horse, seize the enemy’s quiver, and embrace the enemy’s wife and daughters. So if there’s a woman you fancy, just go and grab her. I won’t object."
"......"
Speaking of which, Genghis Khan did seem to enjoy taking enemies’ wives and daughters for his harem... Wasn’t this a traditional Mongolian custom?
But did Genghis Khan really say that?
Wait, I remember Cao Cao also said ’I shall provide for your wife and daughters...’ Hmm? Could it be that all conquerors like this sort of thing?
If Fang Zheng wasn’t quite understanding it before, after Kuroko’s intimate encounter, he suddenly realized... this is quite thrilling!
Making a woman who originally didn’t like you finally submit under you can really satisfy the desire for conquest... As the saying goes, ’A hero’s true nature’, without being amorous, how can one be a hero?
Hmm... I digress.
By the way, out of curiosity, Fang Zheng also used the "Ratziel" to investigate some things about Genghis Khan, and discovered a very interesting story. As everyone knows, Genghis Khan’s father died at the hands of a horde called the Tatar. After Genghis Khan became strong, he led his army to attack the Tatar horde and issued orders to kill all the Tatar men taller than the wheel axle, while the women were to be enslaved.
And Genghis Khan himself, also took a beautiful woman named Yasukan from this horde. Logically speaking, facing such a total annihilation of one’s clan, she should be fiercely resistant, but Yasukan not only submitted to Genghis Khan, she even told Genghis Khan she had an elder sister who was more beautiful, and she knew where her sister was hiding and was willing to bring her sister to Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and immediately sent his men to capture Yasukan’s sister, Yatsui, making her part of his harem.
However, Yatsui actually already had a fiancé at that time. Once, when she attended a banquet and returned in low spirits, Genghis Khan noticed something was wrong and investigated, discovering that Yatsui’s fiancé had sneaked into the banquet missing his fiancée, which was why Yatsui was in low spirits after seeing him.
For this, Genghis Khan immediately became furious and had Yatsui’s former fiancé captured and executed.
In such situations, wouldn’t you fight to the death?
Yet Yatsui after that was loyally by Genghis Khan’s side until his death, never seeking revenge even ten years later...
To that, Fang Zheng could only say... what a big world, full of wonders!
But for now...
"Alright, I agree."
This piece of colored metal is necessary for Fang Zheng, and as long as it doesn’t involve marrying right now, Fang Zheng can accept:
But if Reiji insists on buying a ticket before boarding, that’s a different story.
"Okay."
Upon hearing Fang Zheng, Reiji nodded, then carefully cupped her hands together. Soon, Fang Zheng felt the wind begin to flow, gathering in Reiji’s hands, forming into a piece of colored metal not much bigger than a glass ball.
"Do you carry it on you?"
Fang Zheng furrowed his brows and looked at Reiji in confusion. Just like with Arya, he had thoroughly checked Reiji’s body and found no trace of the colored metal.
"........."
Reiji silently shook her head.
"The wind is everywhere."
"Alright..."
Fang Zheng had given up on worrying about these little issues. He reached out to take the colored metal and examined it closely. In Fang Zheng’s hand, this piece of colored metal, unlike Arya’s, displayed a sky-blue color, appearing like a fragment of the sky, quietly resting in the palm of his hand.
However, just as Fang Zheng was about to investigate the colored metal, Reiji suddenly knelt before him.
"Next is the pledge of allegiance."
As she spoke, Reiji lifted her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"I vow to serve by Fang Zheng’s side, my spear as my husband’s sharp blade, to be wielded by him, my body as my husband’s property, to be used by him."
Is this... a vow?
"My husband’s command is my law, I swear to become a bullet, annihilating all my husband’s foes."
Uh... Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?
"Urus is one, and one is all. From now on, we Urus 47 women will eternally serve you."
Hmm... I understand... Hmm? Wait a minute?
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was momentarily stunned. In the meantime, Reiji stood up again after her vow, put on her headphones, and quietly watched Fang Zheng.
"Wait, what did you mean by that last vow? What’s with Urus 47 women?"
Could this clan have an AKB, trying to make me join as AKB48?
"Including me, there are only 47 of us left in the Urus clan, all women."
Reiji quietly looked at Fang Zheng.
"We vowed that the husband we find is the husband of all Urus women."
"......so, getting engaged to you means I’m engaged to 47 people?"
"........." (nods)
You calculated against me?!
Fang Zheng stared at the silent Reiji in front of him, dumbfounded and speechless.
This isn’t how it’s supposed to be, one is fine, but forty-seven, what the hell is that?!
But now... it’s too late for anything.
Oh...
Fang Zheng wisely shut his mouth, then he picked up his personal terminal, began scanning the colored metal in front of him. Soon, a string of data floated in front of Fang Zheng again, then fused and connected with the previous two sets of data, forming a whole...
"So this is the Order Coordinates..."
Looking at the coordinate data that had completely revealed its true form, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.
"The Order Clan is truly impressive..."
At this moment, Fang Zheng finally understood what the Order Coordinates were all about.
It’s well known that space has multiple dimensions, and the Order Coordinates are like a nail, pinning all dimensional spaces at a point, and with that point as the center, creating a brand new, incredibly firm order space. It must be said, this method completely exceeded Fang Zheng’s imagination, reaching an inconceivably high level.
But... fortunately, this is just a tool.
"Whew... damn near scared me to death."
After carefully observing the coordinate data map, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, according to Fang Zheng’s observation, this coordinate data can integrate order in a region, "nail" all dimensions, thereby creating an absolute fulcrum. But this is merely the function of the coordinate point itself, meaning, the coordinate point itself is just a tool, it can be used as long as there is an Order Seal present.
Fang Zheng was relieved by this, if every member of the Order Clan had a method to directly integrate and nail down multiple dimensions and still got wiped out by the Chaos Waves, then he really should consider resigning to Fina... multiple dimensional spaces... that completely exceeds his ability.
Looks like he’ll have to see if he can draw another Star Forging Dragon King next time.
If he likened the entire coordinate point to a computer, then Fang Zheng has now collected the software, and next... it’s the hardware part.
But before heading to the next world, he should deal with matters in this world first, and Fang Zheng has already decided to make Academy City his logistic base at this coordinate point, of course, he wouldn’t treat it lightly.
So...
"Arestar, have you written your will?"
Fang Zheng swaggered into the building again --- previously, this building had a crack made by Fang Zheng, and it hadn’t been repaired since, only a protective line was drawn outside, but now it seemed there were still no people inside.
No, should say... absolutely no one.
Standing on the top floor of the building, Fang Zheng gloomily stared at the glass jar in front of him. At this moment, inside the glass jar, could be seen an androgynous figure floating upside down, yet he showed no signs of life, looking just like a specimen floating in formaldehyde, completely soulless.
Meaning...
This old fox ran away?!
Due to matters with Kuroko and Elisa, Fang Zheng had not been paying much attention here lately, originally he thought Arestar would obediently wait for death, but unexpectedly he still played such a trick?
But... do you think you can escape?
Thinking this, Fang Zheng sneered, then stretched his right hand, grabbing the pitch black giant sword emerging from the void, and thrust it fiercely at Arestar’s body in front of the glass jar.
"Crack!!"
The pitch black greatsword immediately pierced through the glass jar along with Arestar’s corpse floating within, then the next moment, flames suddenly blazed up, instantly consuming Arestar’s body completely. Right after, at the same time, a spark quietly dispersed, suddenly bursting out like fireworks!
"Uah!!"
At this moment, a scream arose, shortly followed by Arestar’s voice appearing in Fang Zheng’s ear.
"How, how could you..."
"Don’t underestimate the gods, Arestar, although I’m also a newly appointed god for less than a year, but I’m still one who burns Divine Fire..."
Putting down the greatsword in his hand, Fang Zheng gazed at the fireworks-like exploded space in front of him.
"Now, you no longer need this body, right? When you left this device, it was such, you can make a choice and thereby differentiate, generating various versions of you, all of these are you, you are everywhere, yet exist in nowhere. But ah..."
Speaking this, Fang Zheng gave a light snort.
"Everything has a beginning and an end, where the starting point is, there the endpoint is too, as for the middle part... actually, none of us care, don’t you think?"
"No—————!!"
At this moment, the power of the Sword of Four fully erupted.
Indeed, as Fang Zheng mentioned, Arestar had already quantumized his own concept, every action, choice, step he took, would generate a brand new self, in this regard, Arestar truly counted as invincible.
However... he couldn’t escape the shackles of the Primordial Fire.
Everything has an endpoint.
Returning to where it came from.
If Arestar were merely quantum, then Fang Zheng couldn’t do anything about him, but when quantum is conceptualized, forming Arestar as a concept, the situation changes.
If Arestar didn’t want to become a target of the Primordial Fire, then he would only need to entirely erase the concept body of Arestar.
And this would mean... death.
No matter which, Arestar has no path to survival anymore.
Space began to tremble.
It was fireworks from multiple dimensions, everything in front of him became incredibly dazzling and colorful, they blossomed in each space, then vanished, followed by the sound dissipating the next moment.
Arestar, along with his concept and existence, no longer exists in this world.
"What a waste of my time."
Fang Zheng yawned, then picked up his personal terminal.
"Hello, Kurumi? It’s me, yeah, Arestar’s finished, prepare to take over Academy City."
