He would be hunted down to his death if he left. By saying this, Kamitani basically admitted that he was responsible for the current situation.
If it was possible, Seiji would definitely kill Kamitani! He wouldn't hesitate at all.
"Don't be so scary … I've already reflected on myself, and I'm currently trying to fix things." Kamitani shrugged.
"You don't understand the meaning of the word 'reflect' at all," Seiji stated in an icy tone.
If this guy really knew how to reflect, then he wouldn't be Itsuki Kamitani.
"What's the specifics of this so-called god-slaying plan? What's the success rate? How long will it take? "Seiji suppressed his anger and continued asking questions.
"This information isn't a gift, so I can't tell you … But since we're good friends, I'll reluctantly tell you a little more." Kamitani chuckled. "The plan is to gather all the current combat strength to break through the Realm of Cherry Blossoms and kill the Catastrophe Goddess. The success rate is less than fifty percent, and it'll take about one day."
"What will happen if we fail?"
"We'll send a signal to the outside world and have them deal with it."
"I'm asking about this city. What will happen to the people here!"
"Of course they'll die."
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing Kamitani's matter-of-fact answer.
"If the god-slaying plan fails, the ordinary citizens will be hopeless. No matter what the people outside do, the several million people here will die," Kamitani continued.
"You won't be able to survive after causing such a tragedy!" Seiji glared at him.
"I'm busy right now so that I won't end up like that. So help me, my bro Haruta ~" Kamitani spoke in a spoiled manner.
And then, his figure was suddenly sliced in half by the White Lotus spiritual sword that suddenly extended!
"You're too much …" The next second, his black figure reformed and complained.
"What does Yakushi have to do with this?" Seiji changed the topic back. "Why did he attack this place?"
"That really isn't a gift. Don't be so greedy." Kamitani sighed. "I don't have time to talk anymore. Are you going to help me or not?"
"I could have captured Yakushi, but you let him go. In exchange, you must tell me more information." Seiji tried to fight for more information.
"Greedy boys aren't welcome."
"I never wanted to be popular with you."
"If you keep doing this, you'll lose me one day!"
"If there's a time limit for this loss, I hope it's forever!"
After the dialogue that seemed like they were exchanging lines, there was a moment of silence.
"It's interesting to talk like this, but I really don't have the time." Kamitani chuckled. "Voidfire-kun should be in Kosui Park. If you'd like, you can go look for him."
Kosui Park … that was the place where Seiji, Mika, and the others went to enjoy the cherry blossoms together. Seiji's eyes flashed.
Seiji wanted to ask something else, but Kamitani's figure suddenly vanished.
After confirming that the other party had indeed left, Seiji let down his guard and dispersed the spirit saber.
"Little Shi, are you alright?" He turned to look at his sworn sister.
"I'm fine," Shika Kagura replied.
Her clothes were slightly damaged, but it was not a big deal.
When Seiji arrived earlier, he could tell that she was fine. That was why he had the time to calmly attack Yakushi's main body and talk to Kamitani.
The snake monster disappeared as well. Summer Night and the others all came over to meet up with Seiji. Everyone was fine.
The battle ended here. Everyone returned to the real world.
…
"Why did you hinder me?" Yakushi questioned Kamitani.
"I didn't hinder you. I saved you."
"You thought that I would lose?"
"That's right. That person's true power far surpasses your imagination, especially in the spiritual world."
"Just who is he?"
"You should've guessed it already. He's Haruta Seiji."
"… I see."
"It's good that you understand. Give up on 'God-Devouring' and do something else that needs to be done."
"…"
"As payment for saving you, I shall accept that new experimental subject of yours, mister." Kamitani smiled happily as a dark shadow appeared behind him, giving off a terrifying aura.
Something flashed in Yakushi's eyes upon seeing this as he adjusted his gold-rimmed eyeglasses.
…
After everyone regained their senses, they felt even more dizzy and headache than last time.
After everyone regained their senses, they felt incredibly fatigued.
Seiji had everyone rest for a while before summarizing the battle.
The first ones to appear were Yakushi and the snake monster. Since Yakushi had directly left, no further information was obtained. The only thing that everyone knew was that Yakushi was the creator of the Ecstasy Potion and the "Yamata no Orochi" artificial awakening project.
That snake monster was obviously the experimental subject of this project. It was the same as the seven people from before, but of a higher level.
Since the experimental subject was able to take on such a form in the spiritual world, it was likely that it would be able to wield such power in the real world as well. It was just that it wouldn't be as powerful as it was in the spiritual world.
Yamata no Orochi … it could be said to be the most famous gigantic demon in Sakura Island! Yamata no Orochi would often act as a boss or even final boss in all sorts of anime and manga. It was incredibly famous.
Artificially awakening the power of Orochi meant creating such a monster. Everyone could imagine just how frightening this would be.
Currently, this project was still in the experimental stage. Actually, if the experimental subject was already able to wield such powerful power in the spiritual world, what about in the real world? What about when the project was completed?
Just imagining it sent chills down Yakushi's spine. Not only would the possible results be frightening, the consequences would also be frightening. It was likely that the process of researching such a power would be incredibly cruel.
The Ecstasy Potion and the Orochi Project … Just these two points alone were more than enough to determine just how dangerous Yakushi was.
Were all the Messengers' leaders such people?
Seiji indicated that he didn't know the answer to this question.
The other leader that Seiji knew — Itsuki Kamitani — was doubtlessly a dangerous individual as well. His level of danger … or perhaps it should be said that he was even more dangerous than Yakushi. That was because Itsuki was able to make Yakushi leave with just two sentences!
Kamitani was responsible for the current situation in the real world. Although Seiji didn't know exactly what Kamitani had done, the fact that millions of people, including everyone's friends and family, were in danger was more than enough to make everyone angry at Kamitani.
Although this wasn't the Messengers' original intention, only the heavens knew if it was true or not. Even if it was true, it was still a fact that Kamitani had caused such a crisis.
According to Kamitani, the main person responsible for the current situation in the real world was a leader codenamed "Voidfire".
Voidfire seemed to be someone with a sense of justice … was there really such a person in the Messengers? This sounded more like a bad joke.
No matter what, Seiji might be able to find Voidfire at Kosui Park.
"We now have two choices. The first is to go to Soul Society. The second is to go to Kosui Park," Seiji told them.
"If we go to Soul Society, it's uncertain if there's anyone there or if we'll be able to obtain any information.
And if we go to Kosui Park, it's possible that we'll be able to find a leader of the Messengers and obtain important information. However, it's also possible that we'll find nothing. It might even be some sort of trap.
Which one should we choose … what do you all think? "
Everyone exchanged awkward glances.
"You decide, Seiji," Summer Night told him.
Seiji faced everyone and felt their gazes. He swiftly and decisively made his choice.
"I think that we should go to Kosui Park!"
