Chapter 436 A Superficial Trip to Another World
Tang Zijun shifted her gaze, pursing her lips slightly as she looked at Tan Zhixin, who remained calm with a faint smile, and Qin Nan, who was pouting.
He knew that from the moment he got out of the car, Tan Zhixin and Qin Nan's attention had been focused on him.
Tang Zijun slowly approached the two of them and said softly, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"I, I wasn't worried about you at all." Qin Nan turned her head away and let out a soft snort.
Tan Zhixin smiled sweetly. She first glanced at Tang Cao not far away and saw that Tang Cao was chatting with Su Siyao and Xiao Xiao before turning her attention back to Tang Zijun.
"With your combat strength, I don't think anything can threaten you. However, it's not like you usually put yourself in danger by recklessly risking your life."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun's lips twitched, and she gave an awkward laugh.
Tan Zhixin is right. Taking risks is not her habit in the past seven years, but it might not have been the case before that.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun shrugged. "Special cases require special treatment, and besides—I used to be quite reckless."
While strategic planning and a cautious mind can certainly play a role, sometimes only true strength can better accomplish one's goals.
Just like in the wasteland world, once the artificial gods go out of control and everything is under the control of the other side, no matter how clever human scholars are, it will be useless, because the chessboard has been changed, and without enough power, it is impossible to threaten the gods of the era.
"So, you already know the enemy's details?"
"Mm." Tang Zijun nodded slightly. "Let's discuss this in detail when we get back. By the way, how's Captain Xiao doing?"
"Are you talking about Xiao Yue?" Tan Zhixin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then looked up and continued, "We left in a hurry and don't know much about him. But given his injuries, he should wake up soon."
"I hope nothing goes wrong." Tang Zijun sighed softly.
Others might not know, but Tang Zijun was very clear that this matter was extremely serious. A division captain-level leader was injured, a robot of unknown origin appeared out of nowhere, and a magical girl who had mysteriously disappeared with her was also involved.
Any one of these three things, taken individually and placed within the Demon Surveillance Bureau, would attract considerable attention. But now, with these three things combined, the outcome is predictable.
Now we can only hope that Minister Xue hasn't had time to report this matter yet; otherwise, there will probably be another major upheaval at the General Administration.
"It's too late to think of that now," Tan Zhixin said with a smile, shaking her head. "You should think about how you're going to explain this when you get back. Bringing Katie along already violated the rules, strictly speaking."
"I'm not worried about that." Tang Zijun paused for a moment. He was the one who wrote the rules of the Demon Supervision Bureau, so he was very clear about the intricacies of it.
Rather than going to see Shangguan, Tang Zijun would rather have a good talk with Trova, the Tree of Life.
He had always been figuring things out as he went, even though he was very skilled at it. But Tang Zijun knew that he had not yet unleashed his true power.
Looking back, all I can say is that since I gained near-godlike power, I've only fought three and a half people who possess divine power.
The first is the newly unsealed Mirror Eater God of Greed, the second is the shadow who inherited Scáthach's divine power, the third is the previous mechanical God of Life, and the half is the Skeleton Knight who stole the body of a god.
These victories reveal that none of these individuals can be considered true gods.
Tang Zijun felt like she had been kicking the sick man's good leg the whole time.
The enemies they encountered were either false gods or weakened. The only one who could be considered a god was the God of Mirror Devouring Greed, but that guy was severely crippled. When he was unsealed, he was all alone. Before he could absorb negative energy in the real world, he was killed by himself in the reverse world.
Under these circumstances, Tang Zijun has never been able to face the power she possesses. Now, facing the overwhelming forces of the Epoch Gods, Tang Zijun also feels a sense of urgency.
He needed to become stronger, not just to deal with the artificial gods of the wasteland world; he had a premonition that the dream world probably wouldn't be peaceful for much longer, although things weren't much better here now—
Now, the only thing that can help me is probably the Tree of Life, Trova. Hopefully, she still remembers the information about divine power.
After a few more casual words, Tang Zijun coaxed Qin Nan and Tan Zhixin to come to Tang Cao and the others' side.
"Tangcao, it's time to go."
Upon hearing the sound, Tang Cao and Su Siyao turned around, their happy smiles instantly turning bitter.
"Ugh... Bro, is it in such a hurry? I've only been in this world for less than five minutes!"
"Don't make that face. This isn't an amusement park; the situation here is extremely dangerous."
Tang Zijun was all too familiar with the expressions on these two little girls' faces; they looked exactly like this when she called them home after they had been playing wildly at the amusement park.
"But I'm capable of protecting myself!" Tang Cao raised her chin. "But you, brother, you would have been in danger if it weren't for Sister Tan, Sister Nan, and Sister Katie's help."
Tang Zijun's lips twitched slightly. Ignoring her comment, she said, "Since you know it's dangerous, then hurry back with me."
Tang Cao pouted and shook Tang Zijun's hands.
"Brother~ please let me stay a little longer, Sister Gloriand is going to treat me to something delicious."
"Is it delicious?" Tang Zijun blinked and looked at Grelando next to her with suspicion.
Having wandered around here so many times, doesn't he know what's in Black City? The only thing here that can be called drinking is alcohol, and it's the lowest quality, cheapest kind of alcohol, which can't possibly be called good.
Gloria noticed Tang Zijun's gaze, her eyes slightly evasive. "Yes, it's a drink made by the slaves using available materials. It tastes very good, but the production is limited."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun nodded knowingly.
The people Gloriam was referring to were probably those aliens. It's normal for them to make special drinks since they are of different races.
However, Tang Cao and Su Siyao were shocked. "You have slaves here?!"
Previously, they had only seen these things in textbooks or TV dramas; this was the first time they had come into contact with the term "slave," which has feudal connotations.
However, this did not prevent Tang Zijun from educating them. "Yes, slaves. These elves are all slaves who lost their homes and were displaced because of the war of the gods."
Tang Cao and Su Siyao stared wide-eyed at Tang Zijun's words, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Tang Zijun was satisfied with the two girls' reactions and said in a serious tone.
"Now you know how dangerous this world is, right?"
Tang Cao opened her mouth slightly and exchanged a glance with Su Siyao.
After a long silence, the two couldn't help but sigh.
"You even have elves here!"
'
'
A few dark lines appeared at the corner of Tang Zijun's eyes.
"Is that the point?"
"The point is that even a race like elves, who always have special abilities, can't guarantee their own safety. Do you two understand that?"
"I won't say anything else, Tang Cao, you're not a child anymore. How could you bring Yao Yao along? You have magic to protect you, but what about Yao Yao? Who knows how many kinds of pollution are mixed in the air of this world? What if it's harmful to Yao Yao's health?"
"Huh?!" Su Siyao was dumbfounded.
She thought it was just a half-day trip to another world, but no one told her that her life was in danger.
"Ahem, there are runes protecting Black City, so ordinary pollution can't get in." Tang Zijun coughed lightly. "But that's what I mean, do you understand?"
"Oh—" Tang Cao and Su Siyao lowered their heads.
"Alright, get in the car."
Tang Zijun waved her hand, beckoning everyone to get into the car, and then looked at Grelando.
"If anything happens here, you know how to find me."
"Yes." Grilando nodded heavily, her eyes subconsciously glancing towards the city.
Langya, who had been running wild since arriving here, became unusually quiet this time for some reason.
Tang Zijun waved to Grelando and returned to the carriage with the hyacinths in her hair.
Looking out the window at Grelando who was watching everyone leave, Tang Cao silently walked to Tang Zijun's side and poked his arm.
"Brother."
"Um?"
"Could she be my future sister-in-law?"
