"Damn, why is Vigilante A allowed inside then?!! This is unfair!"
The black representative from the US was furious and started screaming.
However, he completely forgot about the machine who just got whacked out from the Divine Gate as he was scolding his lungs out.
The machine looked like it suffered some internal damage and could no longer remain in the air. It plummeted downwards from the Divine Gate straight towards the Pacific Ocean.
After a while, a loud voice appeared from the ocean surface as the machine hit the ocean and broke into pieces.
Moments later, a pair of black and white dolphins swam across and looked out of curiosity.
The weird human-shaped object that fell to the sea was smoking and broken into bits and pieces. It was not bleeding, and instead, a white liquid was flowing out from the broken parts.
"Blackie, should we save him? He doesn't look human to me, " the white dolphin hesitated.
"I think we should just drag him with us. We can decide that when Twelve Arms returns from Heaven, " the black dolphin replied after circling the broken machine and looking at the pale human face.
"Alright then. But do you have any idea when Twelve Arms will be back?" The white dolphin agreed to its suggestion before asking.
"Oh, I requested a seagull to get that information for us when you were out looking for fishes. It told me that Twelve Arms is being held captive inside the door above us. Somehow it was also involved in a tug of war... I wonder what that means."
The black dolphin explained and simultaneously dived under the ocean, lifting the human on its back and floating to the surface to prevent him from drowning.
"From the looks of it, he won't hold on much longer. He needs to get treatment now, " the black dolphin observed the object on its back.
"I'll go look for a big Margaritana Margaritifera to help seal his wounds, " the white dolphin suggested.
"Alright. I'll wait for you here. Be quick."
The white dolphin nodded and swam towards the deep sea.
Robocop X001 listened to the conversation between the two dolphins and felt something in his mind that he could not describe.
His comrades only cared about the success of their missions and had no concerns about his personal safety.
He never complained though, as it was a common theme inside his previous team.
However, at that moment, two dolphins that he had never met before were trying to save him, and he was wondering why.
"The longer I interacted with humans, the more I love dogs, " he suddenly remembered such a saying, but he had forgotten where he had read it from.
As the machine was deep in his thoughts, a familiar voice appeared next to it.
"Looks like it still has a major flaw in it. We just wasted one of our precious quotas. Those Chinese will not give us another chance. Initiate retrieval protocol and get it ready for retesting."
'Chief Hook?'
The person was speaking in English and he could clearly hear that the person was addressing him as "it" instead of "him".
'I am no longer human. It's no wonder I can't enter the Divine Gate as a representative of the human race. '
The machine's thoughts faded once again into darkness.
The black dolphin looked at the human as they took away the weird one that it was carrying on its back.
'A bunch of ungrateful brats. I saved their partner, yet they're not showing any signs of gratitude like giving me some fish.
'Their flying humans are worthless compared to those fishermen. '
It secretly complained before turning back into the ocean in search for its friend.
...
At the devil's assembly to the south-west region of the Divine Gate. Zhi Nan was staring at the Divine Gate with the sentence carved on the side.
"Tools are not allowed to enter alone?"
All his disciples and followers remained silent. Everyone saw what happened just now.
They sensed that their master had something to do with that weird machine.
Surprisingly, the machine failed his mission almost instantly. Their master would be disappointed.
Zhi Nan ignored the others and continued to ponder on his question.
'What is Vigilante A?
'Fang Ning is his real identity. That rule must be a manifestation from the thought of the Supreme True Dragon.
'According to the latest speculation, the Supreme True Dragon must have combined his spiritual sense with the modern technology and in turn created so many miracles. This might also be the reason why he was always acting so weirdly every day.
'The Divine Monument is somehow rejecting my creation. This is a serious issue that must be solved immediately.
'Either I still have not completely understood the rules that were set by the Heavenly Axiom in this realm, or the Heavenly Axiom has started to be vigilant against me. '
"This Divine Gate is acting out of my expectations, " Zhi Nan thought for a moment before speaking, "My estimation should be correct if it's created from the Divine Monument. It shouldn't have repelled the Robocop. Unless it was tempered with by Vigilante A."
Devil lord Zhi Nan was wise, and he was right. The Divine Monument went through a huge change after it was born into the world. It was beaten badly by Sir System and forced to bind to it...
However, only God would know if that was the real reason behind the Divine Gate rejecting the robocop from entering...
Black Robe heard and said, "Master, do you want me to try and dig up some information?"
Zhi Nan looked at him and shook his head before replying, "You can't. Vigilante A can easily see through you. There is another person that is more suitable for this job."
Black Robe was confused."Who is this saint that can answer your question?"
Zhi Nan laughed and replied, "You have yet to see it, but soon you will, and it will be very frequent."
He disappeared into thin air once again after he finished his sentence.
He was not worried about how much resources the devil clan would receive from participating in climbing the Stairways to Heaven. He was more concerned about the Robocop being repelled away by the Heavenly Axiom.
...
Above a railroad, inside an old metal factory situated at the east side of Qi City.
A train always passed by the area at a fixed schedule.
However, no one saw the driver before.
Fang Ning would never do that. He would rather stay at home than become a train driver.
The train slowly stopped. Zhi Nan walked into one of the carriers and sat down without buying a ticket.
He thought that he could skip buying a train ticket so long as no one noticed. If Sir System was there he would like loads to deal with.
Opposite him sat two young men having a conversation.
"Brother, looks like you and I are the same age. You must be graduating this year, right?"
"Yes, I am from X University of Civil Engineering. Where are you from?"
"I am from Y Agricultural University. What position did you apply for?"
"I applied to become part of the modern farm. I still need to go through a series of trainings before I start."
"Me too. I'm working on civil engineering and need to go through training as well. There's a significant gap between the older knowledge and the modern ones. My university added in a three-month course related to vitality. It was so draining. I almost missed the passing mark to graduate."
"Same goes for me. The new lecturer was so useless I only managed to learn by signing up for a paid course online."
Zhi Nan shook his head as he listened to their conversation.
He felt that the humans would never be able to survive in the vitality era if they continued to pass down knowledge through such an inefficient method.
A moment later, the train started moving through the old railroad.
Someone had previously suggested rebuilding the surrounding area to make it look more modern, but all that was rejected by Fang Ning.
Why waste so much money on such a thing?
Would it not be better to save the manpower and get them to help in building his Morality City?
After a while, Zhi Nan walked down from the train into the Yin Energy Realm. The place had become buzzing after a few months.
The ground was no longer covered by a layer of Yin Energy. Instead, it was now filled with fresh and soothing air.
The place was crowded and cars were moving about.
Everyone was busy working. They were fixing the roads, building bridges and houses, starting farms, and many other things.
That area had become a construction site.
Zhi Nan looked up and shook his head."Everything is just temporary. All of these will turn into ashes in the next few thousands of years later, so what's the point of trying so hard now?"
He teleported himself to an underground hideout.
Black cat Tom was rubbing its blue pearl and talking to it Inside a secret room within the lair.
That was its way of nurturing pearls.
As it was talking halfway, it felt that the pearl turned cold like it was reminding it that someone had entered its space.
Tom immediately put away its pearl and walked out of the secret room before realizing that the person it hated had once again paid a visit.
It forced a smile out and rushed towards him.
"This place is honored to have your presence, devil lord. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in myself."
"Hehe, you already said this before. You don't have to be so courteous all the time, " Zhi Nan the devil lord smiled.
Tom said, "What are you saying? It is my honor for you to visit my place. I can't express my admiration no matter how many times I say it."
"Very well. I do have a request for you. Once you completed the task I will grant you a golden body, " Zhi Nan replied.
'Can I say no?'
Black cat Tom never cared about having a golden body... It had already decided on the path it would focus on.
However, it still said, "I will do everything you ask me to without hesitation."
"Hehe, I heard so many people tell me this before, but only a few managed to do what they set out to, " Zhi Nan smiled and replied, "I will fulfill my promise if you succeed in this."
It felt humiliated as it had never faced any disadvantage when facing someone as strong as Vigilante A, yet it had no idea what to do when it was dealing with this devil lord from the Upper Realm...
Why?
Vigilante A never learned to use space diversion. Unfortunately, the person it was facing was an expert in that. He would still manage to find it even if it tried to hide.
'I, Tom the black cat, must become stronger. I will one day be so strong that both Heaven and earth can no longer limit me. I want to make everything that was once better than me, those Gods, those saints and devil lords, disappear from my sight!'
Tom the black cat thought to itself without realizing that it was slowly emitting an aura of a fierce tiger.
Zhi Nan saw everything with his own eyes.
He nodded slightly and pointed at Tom, and Tom the black cat started to expand.
A moment later, a black tiger appeared in the main hall.
Tom the black cat was surprised by what it just experienced, 'What the, why am I a tiger now?'
"Well, the task that I am going to assign to you is an easy one. I need you to go undercover and join Vigilante A. Help me to get to know the secret of his Divine Monument, " Zhi Nan said calmly.
"What?" Tom the black tiger was shocked. Its face turned pale and it started shivering...
'Am I destined to face Vigilante A after trying to dodge him for so long?'
'Is this the will of Heaven?'
