Book 5: Chapter 22: A Fool Looking at the Sky

Flat-Chested Chinese: Right. I have to admit that this Herrscher of the Void is quite strong. Furthermore, I cannot ascertain how strong she has become. If I make a mistake, countless people will die, so I need a helper. If you can handle the situation alone, that would be even better.

He Who Knows Fate: Don’t worry, don’t worry. I can handle it alone.

Signing the contract...

This time, Chen Heng signed a contract with Fu Hua to travel between their worlds. She would be responsible for providing a means of coming to her world, while he would be responsible for the Herrscher of the Void. Furthermore, he could not affect human civilization significantly or help the Honkai.

This was Fu Hua’s bottom line.

Chen Heng agreed straightforwardly, as he was going there only for Sirin; he had no interest in the Honkai.

This time, Chen Heng let Luo Li and Mo Qingtong know before leaving, as he did not know how long he would be gone this time. However, this would take at least two days since he had to wait for the invitation letter. During these two days, he had to protect Sirin and prevent her from affecting human civilization too much.

According to Fu Hua, Sirin had already slaughtered everyone in the research facility. However, Chen Heng did not feel repulsed by that.

No matter what, these people had inflicted immense pain on Sirin. Even if they were in the right, it did not excuse their torture of Sirin.

While Chen Heng did not have the right to judge them, Sirin did.

Chen Heng could permit Sirin to take her revenge on the researchers, but he would not permit the wanton destruction of human cities.

When traveling between worlds using a Dimension Administrators Association member as an intermediary, one could go to either the member’s location or a designated location. However, the second method required a reference point.

Chen Heng chose the second method. As for the reference point, he used the clothes he held.

That’s right. Chen Heng used Sirin’s clothes as the reference point. This way, he should be able to go straight to Sirin’s side or somewhere nearby.

“Hello, Mister Chen Heng. Also, call me Theresa Apocalypse. Judah is the name of my weapon. Please don’t mix us up.” Theresa extended her hand to grasp Chen Heng’s. At the same time, she corrected Chen Heng’s mistake.

“Ah! Sorry, Miss Theresa. Please forgive me.”

“Alright, I forgive you. However, that is not important. Mister Chen Heng, you are the only survivor. Do you remember the demon that appeared in Babylon Labs?”

“Sorry, I can’t help you, Miss Theresa. My colleagues said there was a demon, but I did not see it, so I can’t answer you. I’m not even sure why I fainted. Perhaps someone hit me from behind.” Chen Heng even rubbed the back of his head to make his deception more convincing.

“Since that’s the case, very well. Continue resting, then.” Theresa was rather disappointed at failing to get intel from Chen Heng. However, Chen Heng called out as she prepared to leave.

“Miss Theresa, did you see a purple-haired girl in the prison beneath the reactor?”

“Speaking of that, I wanted to ask you about it. Why wasn’t there any mention of these children being experimented on in the report?” The mention of this irritated Theresa. To make her inquiry more forceful, she slammed Judah on the floor.

Bang! When the Oath of Judah hit the floor, Chen Heng saw cracks appear in the floor.

This shorty truly possessed monstrous strength.

“Madam Theresa, you shouldn’t be asking me that. Rather, you should ask your grandfather, the Overseer of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse. Do you recall the purple-haired girl I asked about earlier? That’s my younger sister. Of course, we are not blood-related, but I stayed there because of her. Otherwise, do you think I would be willing to stay in a lab that experiments on little girls?” Theresa showed a fierce front, but Chen Heng was fiercer.

Thanks to the difference in height, Chen Heng was looking down on Theresa.

What Chen Heng said was half true and half false. The false bit was that he had never been a researcher there. The true bit was that the lab made him extremely furious.

“Ah! Oh...” Upon hearing Chen Heng’s retort, Theresa shrank back.

“That’s not right. If you were truly unwilling to stay, why didn’t you leave with your younger sister?” After being stunned for a while, Theresa suddenly thought of something. Then she picked up the Oath of Judah and regained her ferocity. She even puffed out her chest.
