After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

"Your Excellency the Bishop, just half an hour ago, the Fourth Key of God was activated. The Key of God created a hurricane on the east coast of North America and moved towards Houston. It has now begun to affect the Houston area."

Amber is reporting the latest emergency to Otto.

"Is this the plan you devised to attack Anti-Entropy?"

"No, Amber, that's not my plan." Otto shook his head, which was quite rare.

He did have several plans for anti-entropy, but none of them included launching natural disaster attacks with the Fourth God's Key. After all, until a few days ago, the Fourth God's Key had been used for environmental restoration in Siberia, and there was no spare room for natural disaster attacks.

In addition, both Anti-Entropy and Destiny still need to recuperate. If they launch an attack, it will be tantamount to provoking a war between the two families. Otto does not want the dispute between Destiny and Anti-Entropy to develop to that extent at this stage. It will not benefit him in any way.

"Also, I just discovered that the key to the Fourth God Key is missing, and all the related information has disappeared without a trace. Now even I can't control the Fourth God Key."

"How could this be..... Bishop, we must contact Anti-Entropy immediately!"

Amber was briefly panicked, but soon thought of a way to remedy the situation.

Destiny took the initiative to contact Anti-Entropy and stated that this was not Destiny's intention when the hurricane had not yet formed. Otherwise, when the hurricane completely fell, it would undoubtedly be regarded as an attack on Anti-Entropy.

Otto chuckled twice. "Haha, you made a good joke, Amber. But do you think Anti-Entropy will believe me if I explain it to him? I know how low my credibility is. The most important thing now is to investigate the truth and clear my suspicion."

To be honest, Otto has already been burdened with enough misunderstandings and insults. Even if he continues to be hated by the people on the Anti-Entropy side, he doesn't care from the bottom of his heart. But he is a little curious about who did this.

(No, I know who did it.)

Apart from Otto himself, the only person who can control the Fourth God's Key is Ryusuke Muryata. As the director of Saint 7308, he has countless opportunities to control the Fourth God's Key. It is not impossible for him to steal the key to the Fourth God's Key. After all, in order to maintain the atmosphere within Schicksal, he did not send too many surveillance personnel.

In fact, Tianming does not have that much manpower.

(But I tested him with Yu Duchen, and he didn't betray me... The problem lies in his purpose and reason.)

(So, how will you react, my God?)

Ryusuke Muryota is now far away in the United States, and Otto cannot make any immediate intervention there. The only insurance measure he can rely on is Natsukawa Tora.

Although it was an unexpected situation, a city was about to be destroyed by a hurricane - perhaps a crisis of this magnitude could indeed make Xia Chuanhu take action?

Otto was thinking this, and more than ten minutes later, he and Amber observed an unknown high-energy reaction erupting in the Houston area. The special energy that did not conform to any known energy in the world today directly penetrated the troposphere in the form of artillery fire!

The hurricane was shattered.

————————————————————————————

Los Angeles, Anti-Entropy Base.

Four hours later, Natsukawa Tiger defeated the Hurricane.

"...Are you sure there are no errors in the data, Aiyin?"

[I have reviewed it fifteen times, and there are no calculation errors, Alliance Leader]

In the conference room, Walter was having a remote conversation with Einstein.

[One minute after I ended the call with Mr. Xia Chuan, a special high-energy reaction broke out in the Houston area. The energy form does not belong to any energy we know. It can be basically confirmed that it was an attack released by Mr. Xia Chuan.]

[The hurricane completely disappeared under that blow, and the clouds within a radius of ten kilometers centered on him were completely dispersed. The longest range of that blow has been confirmed many times to be as long as twenty kilometers, completely penetrating the troposphere.]

"..."

Walter fell into a long silence.

It's not like he hasn't seen powers far beyond those of humans. He himself is a Herrscher with power beyond that of humans. The Valkyries on the side of Satori also have the power to confront Honkai beasts head-on. Siegfried, known as the strongest man in Satori, also has enough power to defeat a Herrscher head-on.

But...what about Xiachuanhu?

A pseudo-energy bombardment with a range of 20 kilometers with bare hands? Even a Herrscher might not be able to do such a thing, not to mention that for Xia Chuanhu, it should be just the equivalent of a casual jab?

[A power far beyond common sense]!

"...The person who is called the Savior by many beings...?"

Walter thought of Xia Chuanhu's self-introduction to him in the coffee shop. If he had this level of power, then calling himself the "Savior" could not be said to be groundless. But the question was, if he was so powerful, why had he never heard of his name before?

【Traveler from another world】

This is another self-proclaimed name of Xiachuanhu.

"A real...different world?"

[Are you talking to yourself, leader? ]

Einstein's voice interrupted Walter's thoughts. Walter came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and sighed: "I'm just sorting out my thoughts. Anyway, the crisis in Houston has been resolved. What about the situation of the Fourth God Key?"

[With the assistance of Dr. Wuliangta, the emergency braking procedure has been used to lock the system for 72 hours. Although the hurricane will start to be created again once the time is up, it has bought time for a solution. Next, two plans will be implemented at the same time.]

[I will try my best to crack the control system of the Fourth God Key within 72 hours, and then cancel its hurricane-making program. Dr. Tesla will go to the launch base in New Mexico, ready to fire silver bullets to knock down the Fourth God Key.]

"The Key of God is a legacy of the previous civilization. It is not easy to crack it. If it is shot down... I don't think the previous civilization would not take any protective measures for the Fourth Key of God."

[We think so too, but for now this is the only plan. I will contact you again when there is new progress.]

Walter nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Aiyin, please let me know if you need anything."

Although his body has not fully recovered, Walter is happy to contribute his strength as long as Anti-Entropy needs it.

Without answering, just a slight nod, Einstein hung up the phone.

————————————————————

At the same time, New Mexico.

Inside the Anti-Entropy launch base.

"...Why are you here?"

Tesla, who had just stepped off the plane and rushed over in a hurry, looked at the figure standing among the guards and who was out of tune with the others, and asked a natural question.

Xia Chuanhu smiled slightly: "After all, I am a bodyguard. I will be wherever the person I am protecting is. This is the reasonable situation, right? Don't worry, I didn't do anything. I just simply built a good relationship with everyone in the base a few hours before you came."

"Rather than that, could you please explain to me why you, as a researcher of destiny, are together with the doctor of anti-entropy? Professor Ryusuke Muryota."

Staring at the man standing with Tesla, Xia Chuanhu asked a question that was very reasonable from a standpoint.

36. Don’t tell me? Then use mind control

A few minutes later, in an empty room in the launch base.

"Well, well... I'm sorry, Walter, for trespassing into your base without permission, but I helped you disperse the hurricane. Don't mind this little thing. I was also in a hurry to do my business~~~Okay, I know, I know. I will greet you in advance next time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at the girl with red twin ponytails standing at the door: "As you heard, your leader has agreed that I can disturb you here for a while, Dr. Tesla."

"......Tsk! Since the leader has spoken, I am embarrassed to say anything more. I will lend you this conference room - I still have to prepare for the launch of the silver bullets, so I'll leave it to you. Don't think about doing anything else, the surveillance cameras are always watching you!"

After saying this angrily, Tesla left the room.

After going up to confirm that the door was locked, Xia Chuanhu knocked on the door twice, then turned to look at Wuliangta Ryusuke who was sitting at the conference table: "Then let's get started, Mr. Wuliangta Ryusuke. For stealing the key to the Fourth God Key, secretly communicating with Anti-Entropy, and even secretly planning the attack plan of the Fourth God Key - do you have any excuses for this series of things?"

"...I don't understand what you are saying, Mr. Xiachuan."

Wuliangta Ryusuke looked confused.

"I admit the first half, after all, you saw it all... Yes, I stole the key to the Fourth God's Key and secretly contacted Anti-Entropy, but that was because Bishop Otto was going to use the Fourth God's Key to attack Anti-Entropy. I couldn't stand the fact that the God's Key used to repair the ecological environment was used for such atrocities, so -"

"Oh~~~Oh yes, I almost forgot one thing."

Xiachuan Hu suddenly interrupted Wuliangta Ryusuke's explanation.

"Is that mint still with you? Let it come out, too."

"…Does this have anything to do with it?"

"No~~~ I just want to ask it to be a witness. After all, it lives with you day and night and should know a lot of things." Xia Chuanhu said with a smile.

After a brief silence, Wuliangta Ryunsuke looked at his shoulder, and the mint candy that looked like a black ball of fur popped out from there.

[Let me make it clear first, I won’t tell you anything]

"It's okay~~~ You don't need to say anything."

Xia Chuanhu smiled and pointed his hand at the mint candy, then gently squeezed it.

"Crack!"

Without any warning, a small birdcage directly locked the mint candy in it, and then it was transferred out of thin air to Xia Chuanhu's hand.

"Mints!"

Wuliangta Ryusuke exclaimed subconsciously.

The locked-up Mint also trembled a little, as if he wanted to activate some ability, but after the tremor, nothing happened.

"Don't waste your energy. This bird cage is specially made by me. It is used to deal with those guys who are particularly fast. The inside is a completely isolated [different space] from the outside. It is a [court] specially prepared for you."

Holding the bird cage, Xia Chuanhu raised his lips slightly: "Okay, the suspect's accomplice has been arrested. I have observed that the only special part of your body is this extraterrestrial life form. Without it, you are just an ordinary human."

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

Wuliangta Longjie frowned tightly.

"I have already given my explanation. If you want to take me back to destiny——"

"I won't do such a thankless job." Xia Chuanhu picked up the birdcage and swung it a few times. "Otto asked me to only protect your safety. Everything else is not part of my job. If you want to betray destiny and join Anti-Entropy, I will at most report it to Otto and I won't take you back."

"I'm just curious about what you want to do. Your purpose and reason, as well as the significance of your plan - it's useless to continue lying to me. I have at least fifty ways to make you spit out all your inner thoughts. But I also promise you that as long as you tell me everything, I will do nothing."

Whydunit.

For a magician, it is meaningless to find out how to do something or who did it. After all, a magician has many tricks, and even the most knowledgeable magician cannot completely trace the source.

In the end, all that can be inferred is the "reason".

This is one of the many concepts believed by Weber Velvet, one of Natsukawa Tiger's few same-sex friends, and it is also one of the aspects in which Natsukawa Tiger was influenced by him. Basically, for him, in 99% of things, the process and the result are irrelevant, and only the cause is worth caring about.

"...Are you so insistent that I was the one controlling the Fourth God Key?" Wuliangta Ryusuke still looked dissatisfied, "I've said it many times, I didn't--"

"Snapped!"

Without giving him the chance to continue speaking, Xiachuan Hu snapped his fingers, and Wuliangta Ryusuke's body suddenly stiffened, and then like a puppet, he closed his mouth with lifeless eyes.

【Ryusuke! What did you do to him? 】

Mint questioned Natsukawa Tiger.

【He really didn’t do anything! 】

"Even you said so...it seems that he is really good at acting." Xia Chuanhu laughed, "I have met thousands of liars, and the lies I have seen are as many as the stars in the sky. I know all kinds of liars. He is very ordinary and common."

"And now he is in a state where his mind is controlled by me. I am quite good at this kind of magic that controls memory and consciousness, although I don't really want to learn it so well if possible."

[Hmm... Mind control, the same method as that of the bishop? ]

You can’t tell any changes in Mint Candy’s facial expression from its round body; you can only judge its emotional changes from its tone.

Xiachuanhu didn't care about it.

"I don't really want to use this method. It's rude to others and doesn't respect their privacy. But since you won't tell the truth, I can only use extraordinary means. Muliangta Ryusuke, tell me the cause and effect of the plan you have planned in your heart, as well as the specific process, without missing a word."

"Yes."

With lifeless eyes, he nodded and told Natsukawa Tora and Mint his inner plan.

That was a plan that started five years ago.

37. I, Ryusuke Muliangta, have a dream

Ryusuke Muryota has a dream, which is to [explore the universe].

There are many reasons. When I was a child, I simply had a yearning for the universe. When I grew up, my interest gradually became my favorite job and research direction. After joining Sentence, I also had some intentions to fight against the Honkai. After all, the Honkai incidents on Earth now cannot be eradicated at all, but if I can go to the universe, maybe I can get new methods to fight the Honkai from other civilizations that may exist in the universe.

Over the past few decades, Ryuji Muliangta has been working hard like this.

But his efforts received no reward.

He had lost two things. The first time was when he lost his beloved wife. That happened five years ago, not long after the second collapse. His wife, who had been seriously ill for many years, was getting worse. The doctor advised him to stay with his wife as much as possible, saying that family members' company would help patients recover. But at that time, the research he was in charge of had reached a critical juncture. If successful, it would be enough to make human spaceflight take a historic step forward.

Faced with the safety of his wife and the development of all mankind, he chose the latter, and his wife supported him in doing so, so he abandoned his wife and devoted himself to the most important dream and career in his heart.

However, not long after losing his wife, he suffered a second loss.
