Chapter 2099 - 2097: What You Don’t Understand (Today I’m the Only Cat on the Mountain)

Here it comes!

Feeling the breath of the approaching chaos waves, Fang Zheng was also tense. He tightly grasped the greatsword and dagger in his hands, staring fiercely into the void.

"Are you ready, Restia? Ester?"

"Of course, Master."

The pitch black greatsword flickered for a moment.

"We are looking forward to it too."

"Me too... I hope to succeed, so let’s begin."

Murmuring to himself, Fang Zheng then raised the greatsword in his right hand high. The next moment, scorching flames erupted from the sword, instantly transforming into a massive column of fire, seemingly capable of slicing through the entire universe at that instant. But the next moment, these erupting flames quickly condensed into a dazzling, sun-like radiant sphere.

Then, Fang Zheng firmly gripped the greatsword and forcefully swung it forward!

"———————!!"

The primordial fire, compressed to the limit on the sword, burst forth with dazzling brilliance at this moment. Light and heat cut through the previously cold and dark universe, bringing a hint of warmth to this space. Underneath this radiance, the invisible chaos waves suddenly paused. Amid this light, Fang Zheng even saw some strange shapes and colors...

"Ester!"

Without hesitation, Fang Zheng raised the dagger held in his left hand, then pressed the trigger forcefully. Subsequently, the chaos fire erupted, hitting the "sun" formed by the condensed primordial fire, and immediately, that "sun" expanded rapidly, growing once again. Simultaneously, Fang Zheng gripped the greatsword tightly and swung it, quickly causing the originally spherical "sun" to start shapeshifting like melting rubber, quickly transforming into a rotating vortex of intermingling black and white... And amid this frantic rotation, the black and white markings seemed to become indistinct...

Meanwhile, the roaring chaos waves crashed directly into this peculiar vortex.

Success!

Feeling the shockwave, Fang Zheng was delighted internally.

According to Fang Zheng’s "enlightenment" in the World of Seeking Qin, battling chaos is the same principle as courting a girl.

First, you have to make her aware of your existence.

After all, chaos waves previously treated everything with indifference, like a young lady who doesn’t acknowledge anyone. If you can’t attract her attention, then obviously you can’t succeed.

Then, you need to show off your skills.

Like a peacock displaying its feathers, when pursuing someone of the opposite sex, men will show off their strengths to women, such as talent, wealth, looks, and family background, but ultimately, it’s to attract the other’s attention.

And by injecting chaos fire into the primordial fire, Fang Zheng was trying to achieve the same purpose.

It’s all about attracting the attention of the chaotic power!

Hold on, this is when someone wants to speak.

Isn’t chaos supposed to be a product without self-awareness? Why would there be such a thing as attention?

Well, this involves a core point about the Order Clan.

That is, you must believe it exists.

The Order Clan fixes order, not just by setting it, but by first forming a consensus and then turning it into order. For example, with a square stone, first, everyone must agree that it is square, and then confirm it is a lifeless stone without self-awareness.

Simply put, the Order Clan is essentially using their subjective consciousness to shape the objective world!

Right now, Fang Zheng is doing exactly that. Perhaps others see the chaos waves as being attracted here, possibly due to the same attribute level, or maybe some other reason.

But none of that matters.

What matters is that Fang Zheng must believe the chaos wave is a young lady drawn here by him!

Only this way can he proceed to the next step!

Currently, Fang Zheng is utilizing the fusion of chaos fire and fire of order to create a vortex, and the chaos waves seem attracted by this vortex, rushing straight in, like how a tsunami gets condensed into a giant snake and directly rushes into his trap!

Of course, in Fang Zheng’s view, this is the curious chaos young lady drawn here by him, now arriving proudly before him, looking at him with an arrogant expression as if saying, "I want to see how you intend to attract my attention."

According to proper protocols, this should be the time when the man showcases himself extensively to gain the girl’s affection, making her swoon.

But... but...!

Yes, that’s right, but!

It depends on the target too!

If the opponent is someone powerful, like Esdeath, a strong, dominant woman, that’s one thing. But now, this chaos wave emerging is a stimulated wave, similar in intensity to previous chaos waves, but lacking momentum. According to the setup, this chaos wave is almost like a suddenly wealthy second-generation rich young lady, lacking wisdom—a pure and naive character, interested only in fun, who joins in the excitement because of her wealth.

Dealing with such people... as commonly seen in TV dramas, one might say...

"Hehehe, beauty, you’ve fallen into the trap!"

Noticing the chaos power has joined, Fang Zheng also grinned, then the pitch black greatsword tightly gripped in his right hand suddenly emitted dazzling crimson brilliance. Very soon, the power of order erupted again, rushing towards the chaos power along the vortex!

This scene was just like the arrogant chaos young lady drawn over by street performers, intrigued by the spectacle, only for the performer to immediately stand up, strip off their clothes, and grab her, trying to pull her into the woods!!

This Chaos Young Lady was naturally shocked, desperately resisting and shouting for help. However, there was nothing but empty outer space around, not a shadow of a figure within ten kilometers, and reporting to the police was even more out of the question. So this Chaos Young Lady could only watch helplessly as the Order Great Han revealed his ferocious face, tore away her fragile shell, and went straight to the point......

The crimson flames advanced along the vortex like a fuse, quickly engulfing the originally chaotic Chaos Waves, forming a shape that fused with the rotating vortex, and then........

A flash of radiance.

That light, as if a cosmic explosion, pierced through the darkness of the entire star system, making the entire universe appear purely white for a moment.

Afterwards, the radiance dispersed, and in front of Fang Zheng, a faint light gradually took shape, inside which was a girl......

She wore a red dress, had short blonde hair, and a large hat. Behind her was a pair of skeletal wings, with colorful, crystal-like crystals hanging on them. At this moment, the girl was curled up, sleeping.

"Phew...... It worked."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out and embraced the sleeping girl. Simultaneously, a flash of radiance erupted beneath Fang Zheng’s feet, and in the next moment, he appeared once again in the space of the Goddess of Order.

"How did you do it?!"

At this moment, the Goddess of Order also rushed over, staring intently at Fang Zheng. She knew exactly what Fang Zheng had done, and as a "formal member" of the Order Clan, she understood this better than anyone else — that Fang Zheng had condensed the Chaos Waves into a living entity!

An entity with a concept!

"It’s all thanks to your guidance."

Holding the girl, Fang Zheng nodded to the Goddess of Order. This was not untrue, after all, if it weren’t for the Goddess of Order using the Milky Way to create the Primordial Force, Fang Zheng wouldn’t have been able to proceed to this point.

"But vitality and living entity are completely different concepts."

The Goddess of Order shook her head vigorously, clearly not believing Fang Zheng’s explanation.

"Life is a complex, unpredictable evolved form, even I can only transform Chaotic Power into vitality, but a living entity... and a fixed living entity... how did you achieve that?!"

The Goddess of Order was baffled. As previously mentioned, the Order Clan changes the objective reality with their subjective perceptions. In theory, they could indeed transform Chaos Waves into a fixed living entity. However, they would not do so — why?

Because they couldn’t.

To fix a living entity, every part must be determined to the extreme, like modeling a human being, not only the shell but also blood vessels, organs, skin, and hair. It even requires setting all its thought processes, which is the epitome of order.

It’s a challenge even to create out of nothing, let alone modify through chaos!

In the eyes of the Order Clan, Chaos is "uncontrollable, chaotic, unpredictable," forcing them to do so is like telling them to believe an inherently round ball is square — impossible!

This is an unsolvable contradiction of logic!

"Oh, this child, her name is Flandre Scarlet, she’s a Vampire, though afraid of the sun, she has the power to destroy everything, and has always been confined in the basement of the Red Devil Mansion......"

"That’s not what I asked......"

The Goddess of Order shook her head vigorously.

"What I mean is, how did you create her thoughts?!"

"Oh, I didn’t think much of it, nor did I mind."

"......Huh?!"

Hearing this, the Goddess of Order widened her eyes in astonishment.

"But doesn’t that make her a ticking time bomb?! Even if she has a shell, if she still has the chaotic and uncontrollable behavior deep down...... then how do you ensure she won’t have issues?"

"That’s the charm......"

"........? ??"

"You don’t understand?"

The Goddess of Order silently shook her head.

"Indeed, as you said, whatever this child will do, or how she might think, I don’t know. But this character was designed to be this way, mercurial and emotionally volatile, she might treat you as a good friend one moment, but could kill you in the next for displeasure. It’s this cruel and fickle behavior, coupled with a cute appearance, that’s the charm!"

"...........???"

"In short......"

Fang Zheng reached out and gently patted the Goddess of Order’s head.

"Don’t overthink it, things like good and evil, or reasoning logic, are all irrelevant. Just remember, the only important thing — is charm."

"....What does charm mean?"

"It’s a very complex term, as complex as Chaos itself."

Fang Zheng silently spread his hands.

"With your Order Clan’s level of cultural understanding, I think it’s difficult to explain to you."

Simply put...... you wouldn’t get it.
