[Due to special circumstances, main quest changed…]
[Main Quest One: Change the plight of the cursed children. Reward: 10000 crystals.]
[Main Quest Two: Eliminate all Gastrea. Reward: 10000 crystals.]
[Main Quest Three: Ensure all humanity is no longer troubled by the Gastrea virus. Reward: 20000 crystals.]
[During this mission, the time flow in the main world will increase by one hundred times.]
"…"
"Oh no, Dad, this world's will is against us! Not only was the mission set to the hardest difficulty, but the time flow in both worlds also accelerated!"
Originally, one day spent in the instance world would only mean one minute passed in the main world, but now, one day in the instance world means one hundred minutes will pass in the main world.
In other words, spending half a month inside the instance would mean one day has passed in the main world.
And which of the three main quests could be solved in a few days?
Not to mention anything else, just that third quest alone would take years to complete.
"Damn it!"
Takatsuki looked at Fu Hua, who was still emitting black energy, and realized the Honkai God's purpose; their goal might be to force Takatsuki into another world.
Since they could directly intervene, they could naturally accelerate the appearance of other Herrschers.
Now, many of the main combat forces in the main world were trapped on Chi You Island, and those Herrschers were rampaging everywhere, leaving few capable of dealing with them.
However, Takatsuki's method of bringing Fu Hua to this new world was still effective.
In his eyes, the black energy on Fu Hua's body was rapidly dissipating.
Honkai Energy originates from the Cocoon of Finality, its essence being the transformation of Imaginary Energy swallowed by the Cocoon of Finality, but this world has no Cocoon of Finality, no Imaginary Energy, so the Honkai Energy on Fu Hua was like rootless duckweed.
And she still seemed to be carrying out the Honkai God's final command, persistently attacking Takatsuki, but without the original power.
After Takatsuki paused time, he easily subdued her.
"Sigh... what should I do..."
Looking at Fu Hua, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Takatsuki opened the system and looked at the quest again.
"Wait, this quest..."
Takatsuki looked at the quest and suddenly realized that it didn't limit his methods or the outcome, only stating change, elimination, and eradication of influence.
Then...
Cleansing the surface might also be a way to complete the quest.
But this idea was instantly snuffed out by Takatsuki the moment it emerged.
For no other reason than it was too cruel.
Although he was eager to return, he wasn't so deranged.
"By the way, Ai-chan, if I keep time paused, will time in the main world still flow?"
Takatsuki suddenly thought of this question.
"No, Daddy. The time progression of the two worlds is synchronized, so if time is paused in this world, the main world will also stop flowing."
"Then the dumb way (clumsy method) would be to pause time and deal with it slowly..."
However, this method was too clumsy. Takatsuki knew how big the entire Earth was. For him to eliminate Gastrea one by one, and even those things hidden somewhere unknown, and also to research technology that would prevent humans from being affected by the Gastrea virus...
Relying solely on Takatsuki, it wouldn't be possible even in ten years!
"Sigh, there's no other way. For now, let's find a place to settle down."
Takatsuki sealed the unconscious Fu Hua within white paper using his Stand ability, and thus, with time paused, he moved towards the direction where he sensed human presence.
Time was very important to him now; for things like moving, he decided to keep time paused continuously.
In fact, when he saw the quest, he already knew what world this was.
Black Bullet...
And after he rushed to the first city and entered, he found that this was exactly the city where the anime plot took place, the Tokyo Area...
Taking Fu Hua, he found a place to settle in the ruins of the Tokyo outskirts. After drawing a villa with the Brush Brush Fruit, Takatsuki settled Fu Hua inside the villa and turned off the time pause effect.
"You stay here and notify me if she wakes up."
Takatsuki left a Shadowkhan beside Fu Hua.
He was pressed for time and truly had no time to wait here for Fu Hua to wake up, and he wasn't even sure if Fu Hua would wake up.
Because it was the Honkai God acting on her behalf before, it was still debatable whether the Herrscher of Sentience had truly been born in this unconscious body.
During this time, he planned to first go to the nearby gathering places of the cursed children to gather information, to see what point in the plot it was, and to inquire about the whereabouts of several characters from the original plot.
He would skip the useless protagonist. The person Takatsuki most wanted to find was the famous scientist from the plot, Sumire Muroto. She was one of the Four Sages and was known as Japan's strongest mind.
Although she couldn't eradicate the Gastrea virus, that was under limited conditions. With the help of supernatural abilities, it might truly be possible to research a method to eradicate the virus.
The first step was to greet his new neighbors.
In Takatsuki's perception, he could easily sense large areas of life force.
Because the cursed children had no permanent residence and were often attacked by those who resented Gastrea, they all hid in the sewers. Although breaking through the ground could also grant entry, Takatsuki honestly prepared to look for a manhole cover.
But after just a few steps, he realized something was wrong.
Because the aura he sensed was actually on the surface.
When he arrived, he saw several fully armed people with various professional equipment prying open a manhole cover and throwing a tear gas grenade down.
Soon, a series of coughs came from below.
Within mere tens of seconds, little girls, unable to bear it, began to crawl out from below.
The cursed children's physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people; even when affected by tear gas, they could still move.
But that was all. The little girls who had just climbed up were instantly swarmed and captured by the fully armed individuals, like prey, and placed into specially made net bags.
Takatsuki realized their identity upon seeing this scene...
They weren't there to abuse the cursed children, but it wasn't much better.
Although Takatsuki had forgotten the name, he remembered that in this world, there were terms like Initiators and Promoters. Initiators were the cursed children, and Promoters were the so-called civil police.
They used the cursed children as weapons to fight against the Gastrea, and the organization that set this rule and implemented and supervised it was an international agency. Although he couldn't remember the name, Takatsuki was certain that the people in front of him originated from that agency.
And after seeing this scene, he immediately took action.
