The Daâath guardian immediately jumped away . He opened a portal and he jumped in .
Â
âI like your energy . But, if you want to change this worldâs fate, then the only thing you can do is let it burn, Ouma Shu, or should I say the fated one? HeheheâŠâ
Â
The guardian left with a cryptic line and a creepy grin on his face .
Â
The guardian is probably hinting his knowledge of Ouma Shuâs true identity, a being who integrated the existence of Ouma Shu into himself . Thatâs a smart move on the part of the guardian, if he caught on, the System would probably delete or modify his existence . As a boss-like existence in one of the worlds, he probably also wouldnât leak any details pertaining to the System . The Unlimited System created this world, and he is one of many who are ultimately under the control of the System .
Â
It wonât do the Guardian any good to become too self-aware . The guardian just needs to make sure he stayed out of the Systemâs way . He didnât blow Feng Yu Chenâs cover, he continued operating as if Ouma Shu is still Ouma Shu . Do his part, test Feng Yu Chenâs viability as the Adam and the Guardian will be alright .
Â
Feng Yu Chen returned to Inoriâs room only to find an empty room .
Â
âDamn, he was here for Inori all along, he was only distracting me!â
Â
Feng Yu Chen smashed the bowl into the ground . He promised to protect Inori . This is an inevitable result but the frustration still got him .
Â
Looks like there are more asses to kick and a ton of virus to wipe out before he can end this whole thing .
Â
The way things are going, Mana is going to finish her duty, spreading the virus to every corner of the earth and she will be released from her duty . Then, Inori will get to live on with her original identityâŠ
Â
Â
The second day, Gai who got revived declared his intention to bring about another Lost Christmas Event on 25th December, this time, the whole world will feel its effects . He also threatened the whole world with annihilation by 256 orbital offense satellites known as Leukocyte should any country get cheeky and try to mount a resistance movement .
Â
The United Nations didnât believe in Gaiâs threat, they organized a strike fleet to set sail for Gaiâs base .
Â
Kuhouinâs Zaibatsu group also contacted Feng Yu Chen . The group cooperated by supplying mercenaries, weapons, and supplies to Feng Yu Chenâs group .
Â
Feng Yu Chen gathered an army of fighters who are going to put a stop to Gaiâs plan .
Â
Kuhuoin Okina, the chairman of the Kuhouin Zaibatsu met Feng Yu Chen with Arisa in tow . He provided the resource needed for Feng Yu Chenâs army to continue fighting .
Â
âThat battle of the Defensive Wall really opened my eyes . I thought I had seen it all but you proved me wrong . You played the GHQ like a violin and you showed them all what you can do in one stroke, by that, I meant that huge pillar of laser you shot out . â
Â
Okina assessed Feng Yu Chenâs aura and he found in him a very strong-willed man who had an air of dominance around him . He didnât think there was another man who can stand eye-to-eye with Gai in terms of character .
Â
Feng Yu Chen rose up as a king in the [Highschool of the Dead] . He forged his regal aura by a year of ruling as the king of an apocalyptic world .
Â
âIt was only a small gesture on my part . I should be thanking you for your generous donations . We couldnât have done it without your support . â
 Feng Yu Chen modestly said but his eyes are still as firm as steel .
Â
Okina shrugged .
Â
âLetâs not talk about that . You carved your own path in the face of a tall wall, I only gave you the tailwind you needed to push things forward . Letâs get down to brass tacks, what is your upcoming plan?â
Â
Feng Yu Chen took out a map and he laid it out on the table .
Â
âThis is a draft, take look, there are 24 areas in total . The GHQ headquarters comprise a majority of this battlefield . This HQ is a symbolistic structure signifying Japanâs membership and world order . Itâs located near Tokyo Bay and there are military, research, medical, and administrative units distributed within this area . Gai took control of this place and is currently using it as his forward base .
Â
On the day of the operation, we will strike in three groups . The United Nations fleet is something we will overlook because they will attract most of the attention away from us . The frontal attack will be led by your subordinates and mercenaries . Feign attack when the defense is overwhelmingly superior to your offense . Concentrate on areas where the defense is relatively weaker .
Â
My subordinates will attack from the side, we will also modify our strategy based on how things proceed . These two forces will be mostly in the role of distraction and confusing enemies . I expect you guys to hold Gaiâs subordinates back .
Â
I will form my own personal strike team, this will be the smallest force among the three mobilized forces . I will come in from the back and you know about my powers so I donât need to explain more on this . There are not a lot of people who can stop me when I set my mind to something .
Â
My team and I will be the strategic force needed to end this battle . You guys only have to worry about distracting the guards and mooks . I will end this and save the world . â
Â
Okina listened closely and he replied . Â
âThat is reasonable, there are not a lot of people who can finish this fight . I will do my part and hold the guards and small fries back . That is the most I can do, however, the future of Japan, no, the whole world, will be in your hand, bring out your âAâ-game, young man!â
Â
âNn, that goes without sayingâŠâ
Â
Feng Yu Chen nodded . He wanted to start this fight as soon as possible because he wanted to save Inori as soon as possible . He also wants to free Mana from her hell and this worldâs storyline .
Â
Okina glanced at Arisa and he turned towards Feng Yu Chen .
Â
âRegarding your relationship with Arisa . Well, I am not sure if I should get involved in the matters between youngsters, but, sheâs my granddaughter and I have seen how she supported you throughout this war . If at all possible, I hope you will join the Kuhouin Zaibatsu as a married-in executive, I will be very assured if I have someone like you who can continue to steer the ship in my absence . â
Â
âHmm⊠letâs leave that talk for another time . Full disclosure, I am doing all of this to save a girl I set my eyes on . Saving the world is secondary to this . â
Â
Feng Yu Chen said . Heâs fighting for Inori because sheâs worth putting his life on the line for .
Â
âHahahaâŠâ
Â
Okina guffawed .
Â
âYou are not that different from Gai . He wants to hug the girl of his dream and you want to protect your girl . Youngsters nowadays are so hot-blooded . I feel so old now . Thatâs right, fight for your woman!âÂ
âNnâŠâ
Â
Feng Yu Chen nodded and he exited the room .
Â
Arisa gave her grandfather a bow and she quickly ran after Feng Yu Chen .
Â
Okina had no objections, he let Arisa chase after Feng Yu Chen and he revised his views of Arisa . She chose the right path and she set her eyes on the one who is poised to become a sovereign . That is a very noble conviction on her part .
Â
Feng Yu Chen gave Arisa a hug after they came out of the conference room .
Â
âThank you for supporting me until now . Honestly, I wanted to take you with me because youâre an irreplaceable part of my life too . Leaving you here just doesnât sit well with meâŠâ
Â
Arisa enjoyed the warmth seeping into her from Feng Yu Chenâs chest and she slowly caressed his back .
Â
âThere are a lot of choices in life . I am sure if youâre given another chance, you would choose me, if only⊠Well, just make sure to give Inori the happiness she deserves, and you, you better make sure to live a happy life as wellâŠâ
Â
âArisa, youâre really a fine womanâŠâ
Â
Feng Yu Chen wondered if he can re-enter the world he has already visited in the Unlimited System . It would be nice if the System gave him a choice like that .
