"Why? Isn't he fighting against Honkai?"
Although Fu Hua disliked Otto, she knew that he was also fighting against Honkai. Otherwise, no matter what, she wouldn't have cooperated with him.
"No, he isn't entirely fighting against Honkai. The reason Otto needs Kiana is that he wants to become a false god."
This is actually true!? Fu Hua even wondered if Takatsuki in front of her had modified her memories with Fenghuang Down, making her believe such an absurd thing.
"Otto's ultimate goal is to resurrect his childhood friend from five hundred years ago, Kallen Kaslana. Although it sounds absurd, he would even destroy the world for Kallen."
"And he will eventually betray you, shooting you in the head with the Void Archives-mimicked Judgement of Shamash."
Although she had long known that Otto was a despicable person, Fu Hua had never imagined such a chaotic situation. For a moment, she didn't know what to do or who to trust.
"I've said all this just to make you understand who cannot be trusted. And next, I will show you the way I have chosen to defeat Honkai."
"Fu Hua, you've felt it, haven't you? This world has no Honkai."
Fu Hua nodded, "A world bubble without Honkai is indeed rare."
Although she had never been to other world bubbles, Fu Hua was aware of their existence.
"No, this is not a world bubble, but a world completely unrelated to ours. And in this world… there are Gods!"
"Gods!?"
A long time ago, someone had proposed the concept of a houkai god, but Fu Hua didn't understand it. However, she knew the power of so-called gods, so she found it unbelievable when she heard about the false god Otto.
"Yes, I have an ability that can take others across worlds, to various different worlds, and each world has a different power system. Let me first show you the power I obtained before. Extend one hand."
Fu Hua extended a hand, and then she saw her wrist being held by an invisible force, her skin slightly indented. She tried to grasp the invisible person holding her wrist, but she couldn't touch it at all.
Even when she touched the directly contacted skin with her other hand, she felt only her own skin.
"This is a Stand, a type of spiritual energy. In the setting of that world, people without a Stand cannot see or touch a Stand. Everyone's Stand has different abilities. Just now, I had it hold your wrist."
Spiritual energy?
Fu Hua thought for a moment and activated Fenghuang Down. Immediately, a very mechanical-looking humanoid appeared in her vision.
"This is a Stand?"
After seeing the Stand, Fu Hua found that she could grasp it. She grabbed the opponent's wrist and then noticed a palm-shaped indentation appearing on Takatsuki's wrist.
Seeing Fu Hua's gaze, Takatsuki said, "A Stand and its user are connected, so if the Stand is injured, the user will also be injured. But indeed, there are other ways to see a Stand. It seems I can't be too confident about the Stand's stealth."
"It is indeed a very miraculous power."
Fu Hua released the Stand's wrist, "But it's not enough to defeat Honkai."
"Yes, although that world has very strong power, it still can't compare to Honkai. But this world is different. This world has a power called God's Blessing, which can stimulate a person's potential. It is said that reaching LV10 can rival the power of gods."
Truth. Fu Hua fell into thought, "Do they know about these things?"
"They don't know about the future. I haven't told them. They are still just children. I can bear the heavy things. Because you are Fu Hua, I am telling you, and I hope you can help me."
Fu Hua nodded, "I need some time to think."
"No problem. There's plenty of time to think in this world. As for some details about this world, let's talk about it when we go back. Bronya is also visiting this world for the first time, and I need to explain it to her as well."
Fu Hua nodded, "Okay, but I still need one last guarantee from you before I can trust you."
"What guarantee?"
"You guarantee to this Fenghuang Down that you are acting to fight against Honkai."
Fu Hua held up the feather in her hand. Takatsuki looked at it and said to the Fenghuang Down, "Regarding fighting Honkai, do Herrschers also count as Honkai? For Herrschers who Stand on the side of humanity, I will not harm them. I, Takatsuki, hereby guarantee that all my actions are for a better future and will always Stand on the side of humanity."
Fu Hua looked at the Fenghuang Down in her hand, "What you said makes sense. I will think about it. Take this Fenghuang Down."
"Huh??"
Fu Hua handed over the Fenghuang Down, "Since my future self gave you a Fenghuang Down feather, now I will also give you one. It seems she only left power within that Fenghuang Down, not consciousness. I will leave some consciousness within this Fenghuang Down as supervision. Are you willing to accept it? Of course, you don't have to accept it."
"No problem!"
Takatsuki unhesitatingly grabbed the feather from Fu Hua's hand, "I believe in the Fu Hua of the previous civilization who fought for humanity, and I believe in the Scarlet Phoenix Immortal who guarded Shenzhou for ten thousand years for a promise, and I believe in the Fu Hua standing before me."
The feather in his hand gradually disappeared. Takatsuki felt a second feather appear in his sea of consciousness. He could also feel that if the Fenghuang Down from the Fu Hua in front of him tried to read his memories, it would be blocked by the other feather.
"Thank you for your trust. I promise, until you betray me and break your promise, I will do my best to help you."
Takatsuki and Fu Hua returned to the group together. Looking at the others, Takatsuki said with a smile, "Everyone, welcome Fu Hua to be our ally, to fight against Honkai together!"
Fu Hua stood beside Takatsuki and bowed to the others.
"Next, I'll briefly explain some rules about crossing worlds. First, what everyone might be most concerned about is time. In this world, one day is equivalent to one minute in our world. That means if you stay here for two months, it's only an hour. Staying for a year is less than one night."
They arrived before ten o'clock at night, which meant that even if they stayed for two years, it would only be until ten o'clock the next morning.
"Then, after crossing worlds, you must complete some tasks to return to your original world. I don't think anyone would want to not go back, after all, although this world has no Honkai, it also doesn't have the relatives and friends we are familiar with."
Seeing the others nod, Takatsuki continued, "So next, I'll first check the missions for this world, then explain the world setting to you all, and then we'll set off."
