After eliminating the Chaos Knights led by the Chaos Knight, the cleanup of the Twilight border entered a temporary period of stability.
Fangzheng himself also had a few very important questions that he wanted answers to.
For example … What was the Chaos Knight's plan? What was that gem in his body?
What was that big hand that appeared at the end? Why did it have to get the gem?
Fangzheng was also quite puzzled and even vigilant about it. But for him, eliminating the threat in front of him was far more important than finding the reason. He was not like the protagonists of many RPG games, who had to solve puzzles in the process of killing monsters and leveling up. In the end, by the time he figured out what the boss wanted to do, the boss would have already succeeded …. Fangzheng had always been the most reluctant to use this kind of plot.
Wouldn't it be the same if he killed the threat first, then turned around and looked for the reason later?
Without the threat of the Chaos Knights, the Tendo Temple, the Kingdom of Saints, and the Country of Magi's handling of the Twilight border gradually got back on track. It was actually very simple. The North Pole was completely covered by Chaos anyway, so Fangzheng did not need to worry about anything anymore. In the face of the Chaos Beasts, the first thing to do was to bombard them in low-Earth orbit. After that, the Zerg would start occupying the land.
But this did not mean that the Paladins of the Kingdom of Saints and the mages of the Country of Magi had nothing to do. What they needed to do was to carefully inspect every inch of the occupied land and look for possible hiding places of Chaos to prevent them from quietly hiding in some godforsaken place to discuss a comeback.
Besides, even though the boss was killed, the Chaos Knights were still around. Even though no one had an exact count of the Chaos Knights, there were 183 Saint Knights who had betrayed Order in the records of the Holy Sanctum. Fangzheng had killed the boss, the Chaos Demon King, the leader of the Chaos Knights, and 87 of the Chaos Knights. However, the rest of the Chaos Knights were nowhere to be found. What the Country of Saints and Country of Magi needed to do was to deal with these small fries. If they couldn't even defeat the BOSS, it would be truly embarrassing.
Not only that, but after defeating the Chaos Lord and the strange, misty hand, the amount of Chaos corruption in the entire North Pole had decreased by more than half. Be it the strength of the Chaos creatures' attacks or the frequency of resurrection, they had also weakened. In this case, it was time for the minions to level up.
He couldn't always rely on the Tendo Temple to save the world.
Of course, if they were willing to let the bugs save the world, Fangzheng had no objections.
After confirming that the problem at the Twilight border had come to an end and that all that was left was to crush the enemies, Fangzheng immediately went to the location of the Goddesses of Order in the Western Continent.
But to Fangzheng's surprise, the reaction of the Goddesses of Order this time was beyond his expectations.
"You're finally here!"
When the Goddess of Order saw Fangzheng coming in, she looked as if she could not wait for the results of the college entrance examination to be released. She stared at them and shouted.
"What's going on outside? Our sensors sensed an energy explosion at the Twilight border …. What did you do this time? "
"I did do something …."
Seeing the Goddess of Order so agitated, Fangzheng hurriedly told her what happened at the Twilight border. When he was done, Fangzheng took out the crystal from his pocket.
"This is what I saw in that guy's body …. Do you know what this is?"
"This is …."
The Goddess of Order was stunned when she saw the crystal in Fangzheng's hand. She frowned and looked solemn.
"Let me have a look!"
"No problem."
Fangzheng handed the crystal to the Goddess of Order. The Goddess of Order looked at it over and over again while muttering something.
"What do you guys think?"
"Let's take this …."
"That's impossible …."
"How could this be …?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"But this doesn't make sense at all …."
After muttering to herself for a while, the Goddess of Order closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked at Fangzheng seriously.
"You're saying that after this thing appeared, a big hand suddenly appeared and tried to snatch the crystal away? Do you have any records and images of that time? And the data? "
"Of course."
Seeing the Goddess of Order's serious expression, Fangzheng immediately opened his personal terminal and displayed the data of that time in front of the Goddess of Order. The Goddess of Order stared at the image, watching the arm made of thick smoke appear, collide with the Star Forging Drake, and disappear. She then reached out her hand, opened the data record below, and scanned the data inside. The Goddess of Order frowned and remained silent.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"Well … there is a problem."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the Goddess of Order sighed and said.
"First of all, let me answer your questions one by one. This …."
While speaking, the Goddess of Order raised the crystal in her hand.
"It's called the Key of the Starry Sky."
"It sounds grand. What does it do?"
"Do you remember what I told you before about how the Goddess of Order hid this planet?"
"Well …. I remember you said that the Goddess of Order set up a barrier of Order on this planet, and with this planet as the core, she set up a protective barrier in the outer galaxy?"
"That's right."
The Goddess of Order nodded.
"In order to protect this planet, the Goddess of Order implemented two sets of protection systems, one inside and one outside. You've seen the internal protection system, which is the device that generates the barrier of Order. As for the external defense system, with this planet as the core, it was a defense and isolation system that was set up on several planets in the entire galaxy. If this planet is a palace, then the isolation system in the outer galaxy is equivalent to a country's border wall. And this thing …. "
The Goddess of Order patted the crystal in her hand.
"It's the key to those 'border walls'. Those border planets and isolation systems are sealed in space. Without this key, there's no way to enter."
"Why didn't the Goddess keep a close eye on such an important thing? How did it end up in the hands of the Chaos Knight? "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng drew a cold gasp. He finally understood that this Chaos Knight wanted to be Wu Sangui's Shanhai Pass Realm …
Although Fangzheng felt that it would be difficult for the Chaos Knight to go to Shanhai Pass since she couldn't even go through the atmosphere, but … .this was too dangerous!
"The Goddess doesn't need to keep a close eye on it because she has already destroyed the Starry Sky Key."
However, the Goddess of Order gave Fangzheng an answer that was out of his expectations.
"Destroyed?"
"Yes. After arriving on this planet, the Goddess decisively destroyed the Starry Sky Key."
"So, where did this thing come from?"
Fangzheng couldn't help pointing to the Starry Sky Key in the Goddess of Order's hand.
"Could it be that the Goddess kept a few spare keys?"
"That's impossible."
The Goddess of Order shook her head. She was silent for a moment, then changed to another bespectacled, intellectual, and scholarly face.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you've already fought against the Chaos Knights, so you should know the ins and outs of the Chaos Knights, right?"
"Probably. I know a little about it. So?"
"To put it simply, the Chaos Knights are cultists who have been corrupted by the power of Chaos. Do you agree with that?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng shrugged, but the Goddess of Order's expression became more and more worried.
"In fact, the original Goddess of Order has always been worried about one thing …."
"What is it?"
"Chaos can corrupt any creature in this world, including souls. Therefore, she has always been worried that … .her compatriots have also been corrupted by Chaos."
"… Wait a minute, what do you mean by that …"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng's body suddenly trembled.
"You're saying that the number one advanced civilization in the universe also had people who were corrupted by Chaos and became its lackeys? Just like the Chaos Knights and the cultists? "
"That's not surprising. Besides, this Starry Sky Key in front of us also proves my judgment."
The Goddess of Order looked at the crystal in front of her with a frown.
"According to our memories, the original Goddess of Order should have indeed completely destroyed the Starry Sky Key. But now, the Starry Sky Key has been recast. As I've said before, Mr. Fangzheng. Only those who have the Mark of Order can use the technology and civilization of the Goddess of Order's race. If this Starry Sky Key wasn't recast by you, Mr. Fangzheng, then it must be someone else with the Mark of Order …. "
"You're saying that a member of the Goddess of Order's race who has been corrupted by Chaos has come to this planet?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng once again recalled the giant hand that blotted out the sky. He broke out in cold sweat.
Damn it, I'm going to start whipping stones when I get back!
"Fortunately, that's not the case."
But the Goddess of Order's next sentence finally made Fangzheng heave a sigh of relief.
"According to the data from your previous tests, the other party has only projected a part of it into this world through the corruption of Chaos. Its main body is still far away from our planet, but … after this battle, the other party may choose to attack us head-on …. "
"That's really troublesome …."
Upon hearing the Goddess of Order's answer, Fangzheng frowned.
"What should we do next?"
"Repair the outer defensive line and accumulate as much power as possible."
The Goddess of Order shook her head.
"I can't give you any better advice. After all, the original Goddess of Order herself didn't know what would happen to her compatriots after being corrupted by Chaos. But, I can give you a little hint. "
"Hint?"
"Yes, the Goddess of Order is considered … .one of the weaker ones in her race."
"… That's not good news."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng sighed helplessly. Alright, the Goddess of Order was already very powerful, but now the other party was telling him that the original Goddess of Order was actually a weakling in her race?
What if the Chaos corrupted an existence much stronger than the Goddess of Order ….
Damn it, I'd better start whipping stones when I get back!!
I hope this time, I can draw someone stronger than the Star Forging Dragon King!
