However, the man didn't stop there. He pressed his right hand on Sharmie's chest, and his palm shook slightly.
Then, the man raised his hand, and his five fingers pierced into Sharmie's body like hooks. Then, he pulled out a baseball-sized white ball made of lightning and tossed it into the air.
Almost as soon as the ball left his hand, it quickly rushed towards Chris, who was revealed by the lightning, and finally merged into Chris's body like water and milk.
The man ignored the disappearance of the ball.
He didn't do anything, but Sharmie's corpse suddenly disappeared from his hand.
"It's you?!" After seeing the man's face, Kyo Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura frowned and yelled.
Iori Yagami didn't say anything, but from his dark expression, it was obvious that he knew this man.
"Sei Itō, why are you here?" Kyo Kusanagi questioned.
That's right. This man was Sei Itō! Therefore, the identities of the other two women were also obvious. They were C.C. and Iris.
"Of course, I'm here for him." Sei Itō looked at Chris, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and chuckled.
Before Chizuru Kagura could say anything, a new change occurred.
At this moment, Chris, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and floated in the air. He looked up at the void, and then a blue spirit pillar gushed out from the ground and wrapped around his body. His body quickly grew. Almost instantly, he grew from a teenager to a young man.
However, at this moment. His appearance, however, had undergone an earth-shattering change.
His upper body was half-naked, and there was a sun-like pattern on his chest. His gray hair fluttered in the spiritual wind, and he exuded an indescribable aura.
At the same time, a stronger and clearer sense of oppression spread in the air along with this aura. If it weren't for the supreme power derived from the three divine artifacts, they wouldn't be able to stand like this. Instead, they would have been forced to kneel on the ground by this powerful aura. They even fainted.
"Orochi," Chizuru Kagura called out with an ugly expression.
As if awakened by her greeting, the snake opened its eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils hidden under its eyelids. There was not the slightest bit of emotion in its pupils, as if a god was looking down at the people in the field.
However, when he looked at Sei Itō, C.C., and Iris, his gaze changed drastically.
"You kept your promise," the serpent said in an ethereal yet strangely charming voice.
"For the things I care about. I've always been like that. "Sei Itō chuckled.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Chizuru Kagura's expression became even uglier. Clearly, her heart was now filled with suspicion towards Sei Itō, this intruder, and she was afraid that his existence would destroy their great task of sealing the Spirit Pearl.
"Sei Itō, who the hell are you!?" Chizuru Kagura asked with an ugly expression.
"Me? I'm just a passerby, "Sei Itō said with a sincere smile.
"I've never heard of a passerby who has the strength to talk to Orochi face to face," Kyo Kusanagura said sarcastically with a cold expression.
"That's just because you're ignorant." Sei Itō's eyes flashed with disdain.
Sei Itō didn't try to hide this expression, so Kyo Kusanagura saw it clearly. Anger surged in his heart, stimulating the power of the Divine Artifact in his body to start churning.
"Are you going to release Orochi as well?" Chizuru Kagura asked again in a low voice.
"That's hard to say …" Ito Mori chuckled noncommittally. Then he turned his head and looked at Orochi again. He continued, "Orochi, about my previous proposal, I'll give you a chance. What do you think? "
Chizuru Kagura's expression became ugly again when she saw that Sei Itō was ignoring her. But because she wanted to get more information from the conversation between him and Orochi, she didn't say anything.
Orochi didn't speak immediately. Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked at Iris, who made him feel like he was the same kind of person.
"Why did you choose to follow him?" Orochi asked in a low voice.
"Because he saved my planet and brought a new life to the people of this planet." Iris tilted her head and thought about why she agreed to Sei Itō's original intention of devouring her planet, then she answered.
But these words made Chizuru Kagura confused.
What planet? What people? Is that woman an alien? If that's the case, then what is Itsunari? Is he also an alien?
"Why, as a planet's consciousness, would you agree with the existence of humans?" Orochi frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't understand why Iris, as a planet's consciousness, would do this.
"What!?" As soon as Orochi finished speaking, Chizuru Kagura's expression changed drastically as she looked at Iris in shock. She didn't expect that woman, who looked so weak, to be an existence similar to Orochi! What made her even more shocked was that she was following Sei Itō. Then, who was Sei Itō? And who was the other woman by his side?
Of course, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami were also shocked. After the lesson of the 96 conference, they went home and briefly looked through the ancient books of their families and roughly understood what a planet's consciousness was.
"Why don't you agree with humans?" This time, it was Iris's turn to be confused.
First of all, as a human, she naturally stood on the side of humans. Second, as the descendant of the ancient species that could communicate with the planet's consciousness, she didn't feel any malice from the planet's consciousness toward humans. Instead, the planet's consciousness selflessly nurtured all living beings on the planet. Because of this, she didn't have any obvious changes in her personality after dedicating herself to the planet's consciousness. Therefore, she didn't understand the purpose of Orochi.
"Humans destroy nature and kill living beings. It's an evil that shouldn't exist," Orochi stated his thoughts.
Chizuru Kagura, Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami trembled when they heard Orochi's words. They immediately came back to their senses and remembered their mission. Zhu hurriedly looked at the serpent vigilantly.
Orochi glanced at them coldly and ignored them. He continued to look at Iris, waiting for her answer.
"Just as you said, humans are indeed evil. However, as living beings on this planet, they are also our 'children'. Why should we treat them differently?" Iris first acknowledged Orochi's words, then asked him a question in return.
"Because their existence will destroy the planet," Orochi answered straightforwardly.
"Then, guide them and let them know what they can and can't do," Iris retorted without hesitation.
"That's right. Just like the Yakuza Heroes that you nurtured, you can make them your representatives on Earth and let them guide the survival and development of the people in this world. There's no need to launch such an extreme purge and wipe out all humans," Sei Itō chimed in at the right time.
"Humans are insidious creatures." The serpent paused for a moment and said again.
"But humans also have the emotions of kindness and love," Iris retorted as well.
"Why don't we give humans a chance and try our method?" At this moment, C.C.C., who had been silent all this while, suddenly interjected.
The serpent turned its head and looked at C.C.'s body. However, C.C.C.'s aura that belonged to Alaya seemed to be a unique substance, and Orochi couldn't help but frown.
"What are you?" Although there were artifacts similar to Alaya in the King of Fighters' World, they weren't Alaya after all. Therefore, Orochi, who had never seen Alaya before, asked.
"She's the Witch of the Human Spirit. The power in her body comes from the subconscious of humans," Sei Itō explained.
Hearing Sei Itō's words, Chizuru and Kagura couldn't help but look at C.C.C., who had a calm expression. At the same time, it was the first time they learned that there was such a high-end existence as the Human Spirit other than the Planet Spirit.
"No wonder you have an aura that makes me feel disgusted," Orochi's eyes flickered slightly.
"Very well, I can give humans another chance, but if they continue to increase the destruction of nature, then don't blame me," Orochi said.
Chizuru, who didn't expect Orochi to be convinced by Sei Itō with just a few words, was greatly relieved.
In fact, it was easy to understand the reason. As the Planet Spirit, Orochi was naturally full of care for the life on the planet. It was just that the humans among them were too much, so Orochi wanted to carry out a cleansing and wipe them off the planet. Now that a human spirit had come to ask for his help, and at the same time, Iris, who was also a spirit of the planet, had spoken from another perspective, what was wrong with giving another chance to the life that he had given birth to — the humans — another chance?
"Since we're done talking about other things, let's talk about the matter between us," Sei Itō said with a smile when Orochi stopped the cleansing.
"What?" Orochi's eyes fell on Sei Itō.
"The ownership of the world," Sei Itō said calmly. He completely ignored Chizuru Kagura and Kyo Kusakazu, who were shocked to the point that their expressions greatly changed after hearing his words.
"Like her?" Orochi looked at Iris and asked.
"Yes," Sei Itō nodded and admitted.
"Tell me your reason," Orochi narrowed his eyes and said.
Sei Itō chuckled and waved his hand to create an isolated space. Then, he disappeared from Chizuru, Kyo Kusakazu, and Iori Yagami's sight with Orochi, Iris, and Iris.
