Fang Xinhan, who received the call, quickly arrived at the BCST's Iwo Jima Research Center, but due to THE ONE's destruction, the research center had a large hole.
"Good heavens, it's quite a troublemaker," Fang Xinhan slowly said with a sigh.
"Ten Directions Advisor, can you find its whereabouts?" Mizuhara Sara asked.
After discussions with TLT and the Visitors, Fang Xinhan had now become a temporary advisor for BCST.
"In half a month, its prophecy will come true, and then humanity's first suitable person will sense its existence."
"Are you referring to THE Next?" BCST had already designated the light that was about to appear as THE Next.
Fang Xinhan nodded. Fang Xinhan could also sense THE ONE's tracks, but he was playing a larger game.
Fang Xinhan could imagine the scene when Dark Zagi appeared, with successive suitable persons emerging and fighting against him alongside the dark warriors he had turned.
"Maki Shunichi, Ji Yazhun, Chishiro Ren, Saijo Nagi, Komori Ikki, Saida Riko, Kogurimio Masaya, Hiroyuki Misawa—after defeating Zaki, wake up Yamaoka I and bring him back to the light. Tsk tsk tsk, the final battle against Dark Lucifer will be too beautiful for me to even imagine."
Fang Xinhan's smile became a little strange as he thought about it. Mizuhara Sara, watching Fang Xinhan, saw a young man, but his air of having everything under control made her unsure of his true age.
Mizuhara Sara: Not sure, I'll observe more.
Just after THE ONE escaped, a man in a white lab coat revealed an evil smile.
"The Ancestral Anomalous Beasts have begun to act, so you should have arrived too," the man said, mysterious patterns appearing on his face.
It was a pity that Zaki didn't know he had already been set up by someone.
So, another half a month passed, and Maki Shunichi merged with a red glowing entity during an investigation mission. After that, Maki Shunichi resigned and went home to accompany his wife and child.
At this time, Fang Xinhan had already established a good relationship with the Maki family; at least they felt at ease entrusting Tsugumu to Fang Xinhan.
"Shi Fang Jun, will Dad not fly fighter jets anymore?" the innocent Maki Tsugumu asked.
"It's hard to say, but if Tsugumu's illness gets better quickly, Dad might still be able to fly fighter jets," Fang Xinhan squatted down and patted little Tsugumu's head, ~ (￣▽￣~) ~
"Mm, I must get better quickly," Maki Tsugumu's mood improved, and he showed an innocent smile.
Maki Shunichi, who had merged with the Light of Noah, clearly saw red light emanating from Fang Xinhan's palm, healing Maki Tsugumu's body.
So, Maki Shunichi pulled Fang Xinhan aside and began to question him.
"Brother Maki, I can cure little Tsugumu's illness, but it will take time. Moreover, the existence of the Ancestral Anomalous Beasts, codenamed THE ONE by humans, will destroy humanity. We must eliminate it," Fang Xinhan directly and clearly told Maki Shunichi these things.
Maki Shunichi made a decision without hesitation: for Tsugumu's future, he would blow up that guy called THE ONE.
As in the original plot, Maki Shunichi was used as bait to lure out THE ONE. The difference was that this time, Maki Shunichi was willing, and for Tsugumu's future, Maki Shunichi's moves were lethal, almost beating THE ONE to a state of being unable to care for itself.
As soon as Maki Shunichi transformed into Next - Infant Form, he directly kicked THE ONE in the mouth, breaking its jaw, followed by several wild punches, riding on its face to deliver blows.
However, THE ONE still had a tail and directly ambushed Next's back. Maki Shunichi didn't react in time and was sent flying, crashing into a wall.
The flying Next - Infant Form immediately stood up. 'Defeating this monster will save my son,' Maki Shunichi thought. Then, the arm blades on his hands began to glow, and Next turned around and delivered a Stratosphere Blade, hitting THE ONE.
THE ONE tried to block with its tail, but it was useless. In just an instant, THE ONE's tail was cut off. Then, a flying dragon rode on its face, mounting it to deliver output.
THE ONE: Did Noah eat gunpowder today? Why is he so angry?
However, due to Maki Shunichi's incomplete fusion with the Light of Noah, Maki Shunichi's stamina quickly bottomed out. THE ONE, already terrified, saw Next suddenly stop attacking and immediately fled.
THE ONE fully absorbed Aridaka Takefumi and recovered its memories. It remembered that when it first arrived, there was another Next that intercepted it. Seeing no sign of the other at this moment, it quickly ran.
Where did Fang Xinhan go, you ask? He returned to the motherland of this world. Since things would be turbulent in the future, he might as well arm his own home, even if it was another world, but wasn't it still the motherland?
After the BCST operation failed, Fang Xinhan returned to Shinjuku. After 3 months of effort, Fang Xinhan's EMC value had reached the 20 million mark. After making the Gale Ring and putting it on, he could fly.
"Shi Fang Jun, I'm sorry. I failed to defeat it," Maki Shunichi said, feeling very ashamed.
"No need to apologize, we'll act together Next time," Fang Xinhan said, patting Maki Shunichi's shoulder, signaling him not to feel guilty.
Then, the two first rested and then prepared for the Next battle. BCST researchers studied THE ONE's severed tail.
Because Fang Xinhan treated Maki Tsugumu, Tsugumu didn't fall ill this time, so the two had time to rest.
With everyone's unremitting efforts, they finally found THE ONE's tracks beneath Shinjuku City. Fang Xinhan and Maki Shunichi exchanged glances, then went to the front line with Mizuhara Sara.
However, at this point, THE ONE actually took on Aridaka Takefumi's appearance to deceive Mizuhara Sara. Mizuhara Sara knew very well that her fiancé, Aridaka Takefumi, was already dead.
Mizuhara Sara then pulled the trigger, but she was still affected, hitting only one out of five bullets.
"Hahaha, as expected, you still can't bear it. Only one out of five bullets hit."
'Boom' an air energy shot hit THE ONE.
"Does it hurt? If not, I'll shoot again," Fang Xinhan said, holding the Energy Burst Gun, aiming at THE ONE.
At this moment, THE ONE's face was very dark, and then it began to transform.
Red patterns appeared simultaneously on Fang Xinhan and Maki Shunichi, their eyes glowed red, and finally, their bodies emitted dazzling light.
Suddenly, three giant creatures appeared underground in Shinjuku City. THE ONE saw two Nexts and immediately ran away.
THE ONE: Damn, two against one, you guys don't play fair.
THE ONE ran while absorbing the captured creatures, and as a result, it grew from 10 to a 50-meter-tall Beelzebub form.
Then the situation reversed, and THE ONE chased the two Nexts.
(PS: I've altered some of the plot. In the original plot, THE ONE didn't evolve much after escaping to the outside, which I didn't understand, so I directly pushed back THE ONE's escape time.)
