Witch Special

"Eh~~" Lin Zhenxi dragged out the sound, lowered his head and began to think.

Saitama always thought that Hayashi Maki was smarter than him. If she wasn't smart, how could she have run such a big company? Thinking about how much money Hayashi Maki made, and then thinking about how hard it was for him to make money in the past and how tight his financial situation was, Saitama would just give up thinking and let Hayashi Maki decide the strategy.

He was an absolutely brilliant executor. Given a clear directive, he'd execute it without blinking, even if it meant reaching for the moon or catching turtles in the oceans. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; no one can handle everything. It's more important to know what you excel at than to do everything yourself.

So while Lin Maki is thinking, Saitama just needs to stand aside and wait. It won't be long before Lin Maki will come up with an idea.

Hayashi Maki was weighing the pros and cons of the two possible options. After hearing the news from Saitama, her first thought was to immediately go to the moon with Saitama and find the world's will to open the door. Relying on magic to achieve a moon landing wasn't a fantasy; she actually had the ability and the conditions.

In the magic system mastered by Lin Zhenxi, the "moon", that is, the satellite of the planet under his feet, actually occupies a very important position.

The phases of the moon are crucial for divination, moonlight is essential for some magical experiments, and even the moon itself possesses unique magical properties. Given these realities, Lin Zhenxi has mastered several methods for precisely locating the moon's position, even going so far as to create highly detailed models of the Earth and the Moon, allowing him to monitor the relative positions of the moon and planets in real time.

Knowing the coordinates, one could use long-distance teleportation magic to teleport there. As long as a constant supply of mana maintained the portal's stability, one could return. With the question of how to get there solved, the remaining question was whether one could survive. After all, Hayashi Maki wasn't Saitama, possessing an indestructible body capable of surviving space. If she hadn't taken any protective measures and simply ventured into the space environment, she would have frozen to death in seconds.

But she wasn't crazy, so why would she go into space without protective gear? Knowing the harsh environment up there, she definitely needed to be fully prepared before taking action.

Even humans decades ago could move around in space wearing spacesuits, so there's no reason why a modern witch like her wouldn't be able to do anything.

In reality, no matter how harsh the external environment, Lin Zhenxi can completely ignore it because she has a "constant ecosystem." This literally means that after it is deployed, no matter how harsh the conditions, it can create an environment where people can survive. It is the core component of those super shelters.

This is the most valuable equipment that Lin Zhenxi prepared for this journey to another world with unknown circumstances. It is to prevent being teleported to an extremely harsh environment and being killed by an open door, where he would die before even taking the first step.

The definition of extreme environments here is quite broad: extreme cold, extreme heat, ultra-high pressure, and vacuum are just the basic categories. Even in magma, the deep sea, or even within rock, the "Permanent Ecosystem" can keep users alive. And of course, space is also within the design's scope of application.

So, all Hayashi Maki needs to do is wear the "Constant Ecosphere" and she can travel with Saitama into space, to the moon. The two most crucial issues for traveling to the moon—how to get there and how to survive—are no longer obstacles for Hayashi Maki. If she truly wants to go, she can probably prepare a magic circle and set off tonight.

Well, the moon is not working during the day, so we have to wait until the moon is working at night before going 2333

But what happens after they get there? Will they directly confront the World Will? Lin Zhenxi is well aware that the World Will is extremely hostile to humans, and conflict is likely inevitable after they get there. Furthermore, the Hero Association seems quite concerned about the temple. They had previously agreed to share intelligence, but now they are secretly operating without Lin Zhenxi's knowledge, clearly not wanting Lin Zhenxi to get involved in the temple.

Since some people are so eager to give away their heads, why doesn’t Lin Zhenxi wait and see, and then see what to do after the Hero Association gives away their heads.

Anyway, it has been delayed for more than a year, so it won’t make much difference if we wait a little longer.

Lin Zhenxi's anxiety was when she couldn't find the World Will and saw no hope. Now that the World Will's location had been determined, the biggest burden hanging over Lin Zhenxi's heart could finally be put to rest. The problem she needed to address now was the World Will's ill will, a matter that required a long-term approach. At the very least, Lin Zhenxi needed to find some bargaining chips to force the World Will into an equal negotiation.

After all, Lin Zhenxi's purpose has been very clear and definite from the beginning. She actually doesn't care at all about how the world's will views the humans in this world. Killing, cutting, clearing the field, and destroying the world are all internal affairs of this world and have nothing to do with Lin Zhenxi, an outsider.

All she sought was one thing: for the World Will to open a door for her, even just a window. As long as she could connect with the "Company," she could return to her own world. Therefore, if the World Will could just speak to her calmly and kindly, her problem would be solved.

The problem now was that if the World Will didn't get beaten up, it probably wouldn't be able to speak properly. Since Lin Zhenxi wasn't in a hurry anymore, it made sense to let the Hero Association send them off and help Lin Zhenxi test the strength of the World Will.

That's right, it's decided! Lin Zhenxi clapped his hands, looked up and said to Saitama, "Uncle, since the Hero Association is so anxious, let them go first. In order to contact the World Will, I still need to prepare some things, so let's not rush."

"But they don't understand the value of the world's will. They'll definitely suffer if they go. Uncle, you'll have to judge the situation and save them if you can. If you can't, don't force it. We have a chance to save them."

"Oh? The world's will is very strong?" Saitama became excited when he talked about this. He didn't have much pursuit. Apart from enforcing justice, he was always looking for powerful enemies to satisfy his desire for a hearty battle.

Unfortunately, he set his upper limit too high. All the enemies he encountered since his debut were no match for his punch, even the strongest alien overlord Boros he encountered was no exception.

Although the battle between Saitama and Boros seemed very intense, he was actually very awkward. He finally met an interesting opponent, but he had to fight with Boros very carefully as if he was holding a fragile item, otherwise he would be crushed by a single punch, and then he would be out of luck.

All his enemies were weak, which made his desire to find someone to fight him unsatisfied. Now he was almost as resentful as Xianglin Sao. So when he heard Lin Zhenxi say that the world's will was strong, he immediately became excited.

Seeing Saitama's eyes light up, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. But...

"The world will isn't a question of strength; it represents this planet and is the sum of everything on it. Uncle, do you understand what this means?"

Saitama definitely didn't understand, so Lin Zhenxi didn't even wait for Saitama to shake his head before explaining directly: "Exactly. Whatever you can do, it can do too. Whatever you can't do but others can, it can do too. As long as someone can do it, it can do it. And not just humans, but also animals, plants, microorganisms, inorganic matter, anything that grows from the planet beneath our feet is within its scope of understanding and mastery. Therefore, the world will is the integration of the upper limit of all the abilities of a planet. It is a perfect polygonal warrior."

"Wow, so awesome." Saitama (⊙△⊙) sighed.

"Right, so confronting the World Will head-on is a very unwise choice. I have to find a way to control it. Anyway, uncle, it's enough for you to tell the Hero Association that the World Will is dangerous. I don't care if they keep trying, but uncle, you can't get into trouble."

Lin Zhenxi finished speaking, then turned and Apparated away. Having received such important information, it was time for her to plan her next move.

Lin Zhenxi's actions were always staged, focusing on one task at a time. Before she found the World Will, she didn't plan ahead for things she'd need to do afterward, because she didn't know when they would be needed, and many of her methods were temporary and easily lost effectiveness over time. Now that she had determined the location of the World Will, she could begin the tasks necessary for this phase.

Lin Zhenxi left a little anxiously, believing her instructions were sufficient. However, she underestimated Saitama's desire for a strong enemy. When he heard Lin Zhenxi say that the world will represented the upper limit of this world, Saitama did not feel fear, but was instead inspired to fight.

Isn't it just a limit? He really wants to see what the upper limit of combat power in this world is and how far it is from him.

This time, we should be able to have a proper fight, right? The bald warrior, his blood boiling, completely ignored Lin Zhenxi's advice to be more cautious. His mind was filled with thoughts of going to the moon and fighting the will of the world.

Saitama is an adult, not a child who must obey adults in everything, nor is he a dog raised by Lin Zhenxi. He has his own ideas and even a deep obsession with fighting. Other aspects are easy to deal with, but this time, Lin Zhenxi's few words were not enough to change his attitude on this matter.

Go for it! Just do it. The world's will is strong? Great, this enemy is worth fighting!
