Gungo was currently enduring tremendous pain.
It was as if his body was being melted by scorching lava and was slowly being sucked away. His consciousness became hazy as if he was a candle flame in the wind, about to be extinguished at the very next instant.
He wanted to shout and scream, but he was unable to make a sound.
The darkness of death enveloped him. The extreme heat brought about the deepest coldness.
No … I can't die …
I have to live … I have to live …
He used his strong will to support his own existence. He endured, endured, and prayed …
Master … please wake up … please wake up …
After an indeterminate amount of time, he no longer had any concept of time.
Even though the loyal samurai was using everything he had, death was still inexorably approaching.
He was being consumed, he was being whittled away until he reached his limit, and that was when he would be completely exhausted.
Just as he was about to reach the end, he heard a faint sigh.
"Foolish child …"
…
"He's about to die," Yomi told Seiji who was still casting the spell.
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows deeply as he looked at the spell formation in front of him.
Asaka Tendo's remnant soul didn't react at all.
It seemed that he had failed … Gungo had sacrificed so much, but there was no result.
But just as he was thinking this, the purple ball of light in the spell formation suddenly flashed!
There was a reaction!? Seiji instantly widened his eyes in surprise.
Then, he heard a faint female voice, "Stop … hurry and stop …"
Stop casting the spell!
Seiji immediately stopped the spell fusion, and with Yomi's assistance, he made minute adjustments in order to preserve Gungo's existence as much as possible.
This wasn't easy, and he was sweating profusely.
The original dark-red humanoid figure had now become a blurry and chaotic ball of black light. It was on the verge of completely collapsing! Seiji did his very best to help maintain and reconstruct Gungo's form. It felt like he was slowly pulling someone who had sunk into a deep pool of mud back up. It was incredibly heavy and difficult.
"Gungo, she's awake! Your master is awake!! You succeeded! You're next!! Don't die!! "Seiji couldn't help but shout out loud.
He deserved to be rewarded for his sacrifice.
Even if they weren't comrades, Seiji sincerely hoped that this brave sacrifice would lead to a good ending.
Live on, loyal warrior!
As if his hope had been conveyed, the black flowing light stopped collapsing and slowly reformed.
At this time, the purple light was also changing, slowly forming a hazy purplish-red human figure, with two eye-like whirlpools on its face, flickering with deep black light.
"Mas … ter …" The red-and-black humanoid that had been reformed and had shrunk to the size of a child spoke in a weak voice.
"Silly child …" The purple figure reached out and stroked the dark-red figure's head. "Why are you doing this …"
Gungo didn't say anything else. He had obviously exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground weakly.
"What a miracle." Yomi sighed. "He didn't collapse even after all that … I can only describe it as a miracle."
Seiji felt the same way. Gungo's condition was like a human who had lost half of his body and still managed to survive. It was a miracle achieved by an incomparably strong will to survive!
Although he was now powerless and had collapsed, it was not a big deal. He would recover after some time.
The most important thing right now was …
"You're Asaka Tendo -san … right?" Seiji looked at the purple figure and asked.
After the purple figure confirmed that Gungo was fine, she looked at the Yin Yang Master before her.
"What do you want?"
Seiji asked directly.
"I need information." Seiji answered. "Your experiences while you were alive … about the white dragon and the Spiritual Awakening experiment. I need to know everything you know!"
The purple figure, who was Asaka Tendo, fell silent for a moment.
"Why do you need to know this? Who are you? "
"I'm Haruta Seiji, an … exiled member of the Haruta family." Seiji paused for a moment. "You can treat me as a member of the Haruta family. And, the reason why I need to know this is because of the current situation …"
He roughly explained the current situation to the other party.
After Asaka heard this, she asked what year it was. She sighed emotionally when she heard his answer.
"It's already been ten years … that plan actually lasted for so long?"
After sighing emotionally, she fell silent once again.
Seiji was just about to persuade her to cooperate with him when a system notification suddenly popped up in front of him, indicating that many people had entered his Spirit House. He couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"Seiji!" Soon, a voice called out from behind him.
It was Mika and the others.
Everyone had entered the Spirit House.
"Something's happened outside!!" Mika hurried over to Seiji and explained everything.
Suddenly, there was a shocking sound that sounded like the roar of a gigantic beast. Then, he saw a bright red light spreading out in the night sky. Countless red dots of light fell down, bringing with them a deep chill …
Seiji's expression darkened when he heard this description.
Destruction descended once again!
Soul Society was unable to stop it … just like last time!!
Damn it …
Seiji gritted his teeth and wanted to vent his anger, but what could he do?
He did all sorts of things, but it still wasn't enough.
Damn it! What bullshit Soul Society!! It was completely useless!!!
Yui's figure flashed in his mind. He even wanted to curse her out as well, but he forcefully restrained himself.
'Calm down and don't get angry. It's useless.
Soul Society … Yui … must've done her best.
However, the Tendo Family Demons were much stronger.
Soul Society was one of the seven major families, after all. Even if Soul Society discovered a scheme, it would be difficult for them to stop it.
At the very least … he didn't end up empty-handed this time. He now knew that the Tendo Family was behind all this. Also …
After Seiji calmed himself down, he looked at Asaka Tendo again.
"Tendo-san, you heard it too."
"Now that the disaster has happened, millions of people in the city are being threatened."
"I beg you, tell me everything you know! Your information might be the key to saving them. "
Asaka's eyes twinkled as she faced him.
"Alright … but I have a condition. You have to guarantee my and Gungo's safety."
"I promise!" Seiji said calmly, "My companions and I will never hurt you."
After receiving a guarantee, Asaka began to narrate the story.
Ten years ago, a member of the Tendo Family by the name of Shinzen Tendo had made a move on the Yasakani no Magatama, which the Tendo Family was responsible for protecting at the time.
After he was captured by the Tendo Family, he claimed that he had already cast a spell on the Yasakani no Magatama and could destroy it at any time. He even gave proof of this.
Shinzen's goal in doing this was for the sake of himself and his family's evolution.
If the Tendo Family didn't help him, then he would destroy the Yasakani no Magatama and commit suicide!
After an emergency negotiation, the higher-ups of the Tendo Family were convinced by him and chose to protect him. The higher-ups disguised this incident as a failed theft, and then assisted him in his plan.
This plan was called "Susanoo". This plan originated from a mysterious person of unknown identity who called himself the "Temple Master." The Tendo Family was unable to find out who this "Temple Master" was. However, the spiritual techniques that this Temple Master passed on to Shinzen were genuine and of great value.
After the plan was carried out for a while, Asaka Tendo was chosen to lead the first large-scale experiment due to her own talents. However, something went wrong with the experiment, and a giant white dragon appeared, causing everyone present to die!
"I don't know how the accident happened either, but I feel that … it might be because of the Tendo Family's sins," Asaka told him.
