Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 1453 - 1452: I Am the Messenger of Masayuki
Early morning, Fuyuki City.
In the pitch-black alley, suddenly, a series of lightning bolts erupted, illuminating the originally dark alley in a glaring white. The howling wind mixed with trash and scraps of paper spun, tumbling and flying out.
Soon after, a petite figure squatting on the ground slowly stood up from behind a garbage bin, her bright red twin ponytails swaying in the breeze. The girl opened her eyes, and radiant red light emitted from them.
"I will be... cough cough!!"
However, before she could finish her sentence, the stench from the nearby garbage bin made the girl cough a few times. She quickly backed away, waving her hand.
"So disgusting... Sure enough, movies and reality are different... ptui ptui ptui!!"
Transforming into Red Ponytail, Fang Zheng waved her hand, then sighed helplessly and walked out of the alley. At this moment, Fuyuki City was still early morning, and there were few people on the streets. But for Fang Zheng, it didn’t matter.
"Alright, let’s finish this quickly and go home to sleep."
Saying this, Fang Zheng reached out his hand, and soon, "Ratziel" appeared in it.
The reason he came to this parallel Type Moon World in this form was unavoidable for Fang Zheng. His true power was too overwhelming, like a weight heavy enough to tip the scales. If Fang Zheng appeared here in his true form, this parallel world might tilt at an even faster rate. Therefore, Fang Zheng stayed in the Type Moon World, sending his avatar, Red Ponytail, to this parallel world.
For Fang Zheng, it was a bit like playing SAO, entering a game, creating a character, and then controlling that character to interact in the game. Red Ponytail was the character he created.
So Fang Zheng was quite calm about it.
After all, isn’t it standard practice for male gamers to use female characters?
But it’s still not enough.
Fang Zheng’s Red Ponytail avatar "air-dropped" into this parallel world, where Red Ponytail didn’t exist, so he needed to eliminate someone and then take their place, preferably someone related to the Holy Grail War. Because in each world, every person’s amount is fixed; it’s like one radish one hole. Fang Zheng, dropping in as an extra radish, had no hole, so he could only uproot another radish and bury himself in that hole.
As for which radish to dig up... Fang Zheng had already decided.
Glancing at "Ratziel" in his hand, Fang Zheng quickly vanished from the silent, empty street.
Meanwhile, outside a residential house, a young man dressed quite ordinarily was trying to quietly unlock a tightly sealed door.
"Hehehe..."
Looking at the house that had long since fallen asleep, the young man showed a cruel smile. He could even imagine the slumbering family of three inside this house, their faces about to be filled with agony and terror...
However, just at that moment, a small hand reached out from behind the young man and covered his mouth.
"Mm!"
Noticing the sudden attack, the young man lifted the knife in his hand without hesitation, stabbing backward. But at that moment, the small hand covering his mouth suddenly yanked, accompanied by a soft "crack." The young man, with a broken neck, collapsed limply to the ground.
Fang Zheng glanced around, ensuring no one saw him, then grabbed the young man by the collar and dragged him into the nearby woods. He picked up a greatsword and plunged it into the young man’s body. Quickly, flames erupted, reducing the young man to ashes.
"Alright, done!"
After taking care of Ryūnosuke Uryū, Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction. Out of all the inconsequential characters in the Fourth War, Ryūnosuke Uryū and his CASTER were the least important. Fortunately, Fang Zheng also had a CASTER, and now that Ryūnosuke Uryū was eliminated, that lunatic probably wouldn’t be able to summon his CASTER.
But this is fine; I should speed up, or if the world line converges and someone else summons a CASTER, that would be troublesome!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stretched out his right hand.
"By the name of the Command Seal, Illya, come to my side!"
"Swish!"
Soon, with Fang Zheng’s summons, a flash of light appeared, and Illya quickly appeared beside Fang Zheng.
"I’m here, MASTER!"
"This time, I’m counting on you, Illya."
Looking at Illya beside him, Fang Zheng reached out to pat her little head. Feeling Fang Zheng’s touch, Illya squinted her eyes but soon tilted her head.
"Hmm... MASTER, this form still seems a bit strange..."
"Alright, don’t worry about such trivial things."
Fang Zheng skipped over the topic of creating a female character, and Illya wisely didn’t dwell on it. She curiously looked around and then asked.
"MASTER, did my dad and mom really participate in the Holy Grail War in this world?"
"Hmm... it should be the case."
Hearing Illya’s question, Fang Zheng nodded. He knew about Illya and Little Hei’s origins. They also came from another parallel Type Moon World, though compared to other Type Moon Worlds, that world was much more peaceful. Kiritsugu and Ellie didn’t participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War but instead left Einzbern with Illya. Kiritsugu destroyed the Greater Holy Grail, and the family lived a peaceful and happy life in Fuyuki City... Of course, according to Illya, Kiritsugu still frequently went on business trips and was often not at home, while Ellie only occasionally returned.
But at least there were two maids at home with her, and in that world, Shirou was also adopted, becoming Illya’s brother.
In Fang Zheng’s understanding of the Type Moon World, that world was a rare HAPPY END.
As for this world... if I hadn’t come, it would be drifting towards a BAD END.
"So what should we do now?"
"Now..."
Fang Zheng contemplated for a moment.
"Rescue first."
"Rescue?"
That’s right, in the FATE fanfics Fang Zheng read, taking on Old Bug Man to save Little Sakura was the basic trope. Speaking of which, in his Type Moon World, Little Sakura was still just Tohsaka Sakura. And perhaps because there was no Holy Grail War to fight, the so-called Three Noble Houses had long been finished.
After all, Einzbern in that world directly collapsed, and even the Artificial Human technology was taken by the World Tree of a Thousand Realms. The Tohsaka Family had already decayed, and Matou probably was more thoroughly finished.
In this world, Fang Zheng didn’t need to care about the Matou Family.
"Matou, old thief, come out and meet your death!"
After deciding on a combat plan, Fang Zheng directly brought Illya to the Matou Family, then kicked the door open like a bandit and rushed in.
"Who, who are you? What do you want?"
What appeared in front of Fang Zheng wasn’t Old Bug Man but a middle-aged man with kelp-head that Fang Zheng had no memory of.
From the blue hair color... could it be Shinji’s dad?
But Fang Zheng was clearly not interested in this nameless extra. She rolled her eyes, then lifted the crimson Greatsword and stabbed it into the ground.
"Crash!!"
In the next moment, the ground centered on Fang Zheng completely collapsed, and Fang Zheng and Illya just simply and violently fell into the Matou Family’s hidden basement.
As soon as they fell into the basement, Fang Zheng immediately saw a little loli entirely nude, screaming as she was being devoured by bugs. Fortunately...this was just the beginning!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng swung her hand decisively, and in the next moment, flames erupted, instantly burning away all the bugs on the little loli.
"Who are you?"
At that moment, a hoarse voice came to Fang Zheng’s ears. She looked up to where the sound was coming from and saw an old man leaning on a cane, looking coldly at them on the basement stairs.
Fang Zheng had no intention to answer, only waved the Greatsword in her hand.
"Illya, take that little girl away first. I’ll deal with this shameless old thief and come find you."
"Alright, MASTER."
Although Illya still didn’t understand what was going on, the scene of the little girl being attacked by bugs was clear to her eyes. Naturally, she knew this old man didn’t look like a good person, so she nodded, then picked up the black-haired little girl who was scared stiff and flew out through the hole in the floor.
"Alright, prepare to meet your end, Matou Zouken!"
After making sure Illya had taken Little Sakura away, Fang Zheng raised the Greatsword, pointing at Old Bug Man.
"I am the righteous Magical Girl Red Ponytail, today I uphold the justice of the Moon and will destroy you!"
"........."
Faced with Fang Zheng’s words, Matou Zouken was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. However, Fang Zheng was too lazy to waste words on him.
"Die!"
With an angry shout, Fang Zheng suddenly swung the Greatsword in a forward slash, and in the next moment, a Fire Dragon erupted from Red Ponytail’s crimson Greatsword, roaring towards Matou Zouken.
"No... you..."
However, facing Fang Zheng’s sudden assault, Matou Zouken was also taken aback. He didn’t even have time to counterattack before he was directly swallowed by the Fire Dragon. Immediately, the Fire Dragon exploded, as if sparked like a fuse, directly diving into the pitch-black gaps and cracks around the basement.
Then, the entire basement suddenly expanded.
In the next instant, the erupting flames soared into the sky, completely engulfing the Matou Family.
"Job done, pack it up." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
From the flames emerged Red Ponytail, who looked satisfied at the demolished Matou home, nodded, then turned to leave.
Just an insignificant Matou Zouken, just like Araya Souren, was a background character boss. If you finish it early, there’s nothing to worry about?
Haha, Matou Zouken thinks hiding his life core Inscription Worm means it can’t be found?
No way.
"Ah... doing a good deed feels great."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but stretch lazily. Counting today, he had only been in this world for less than an hour, yet he had already taken down Ryūnosuke Uryū and Matou Zouken. As expected, he was the messenger of justice!
No counterarguments accepted!
"You’re like that fire, blazing and lighting up my world..."
Fang Zheng hummed to herself as she skipped away down the street.
Only then did the urgent sirens of the fire trucks start to sound.
