As early as when Rozen was still cultivating in the Akabane family, Tenzen had been deliberately cultivated by the people in the family. They even sent him to the military to build a good relationship with the military.
At that time, Tenzen was very clear about how powerful Izanagi was in Country R. With the ability of the Akabane family, it was undoubtedly suicide to fight against him.
As Tenzen said, the Akabane family who decided to take this road was doomed to be destroyed that night. There was no suspense.
For this reason, Tenzen resolutely chose to join Izanagi and took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"I also thought about letting the clansmen fake death or pretend to be dead, but Izanagi was originally a Onmyoji clan. He could control the miasma, the death qi and the shikigami. How could he not distinguish whether the enemy was really dead or not?"
Therefore, the method of fake death and pretending to be dead didn't work at all.
Besides, even if the disguise was really successful, where could he hide so many clansmen of the Akabane family?
The enemy was the pillar of the country, the symbol of the Chinese people of Country R. The whole Country R was their territory. How could so many people of the Akabane family hide in such a situation without being discovered?
This was simply impossible.
Therefore, Tenzen had long realized that it was impossible to save everyone. He could only try to save as many as possible.
Rozen was one.
If Tenzen didn't knock him down and let him fall in the sea of fire, the people who would appear in front of Rozen would be Izanagi clan, and they would definitely kill him.
Raizen was also one.
Like Rozen, Raizen also noticed the abnormality of the family and rushed into the sea of fire. If Tenzen didn't make him think that he was the one who slaughtered the whole family, Izanagi would never leave an Akabane who knew the truth.
It was because of Tenzen's help that Rozen and Raizen escaped with the reasons of "no Akabane bloodline" and "no magic talent".
If the truth was known by Rozen and Raizen, they would definitely be killed. Considering this, Tenzen stood up and took the initiative to admit that he was the sinner of the extermination.
Then …
"Apart from you and Raizen, I can only think of a way to save one more person."
Tian Quan looked at the girls in the team.
Seeing this scene, Rozen, who already had a guess in his heart, was silent.
The reason was simple.
"Since you said it's impossible to fake death in front of Izanagi, then we can only let him die for real." Rozen whispered, "But if he really dies, we can't save him no matter what."
In this world, the definition of a soul was also very ambiguous and had yet to be determined.
Whether souls really existed in this world, no one could be sure of this.
Because of this, resurrection was also an impossible miracle in this world.
Since that was the case, Tian Quan couldn't really kill this person, but he had to let her die in order to achieve his goal of saving her.
How could such a contradictory goal be achieved?
Tian Quan thought of an idea.
That was …
"Divide" this person "into several pieces and" raise "them in the automaton's body and make them the living materials of the automaton. This not only causes the fact that" this person "is dead, but also allows" this person "to continue to live in disguise. By the movement of the machine and the flow of magic, the freshness and activity of the body can be maintained until it is pieced together and resurrected."
What came out of Rozen's mouth was such a shocking thing.
But this was the truth.
"The brain is in the fire chick, the heart is in the bee, the sensory organs are in the sickle, the muscle fibers are in the dragonfly, the digestive organs are in the jade worm, and the nervous system is in the spider."
Tian Quan spoke in an indifferent tone that made all the girls in the team tremble.
Tian Quan confirmed what Rozen said.
In other words, Tian Quan had indeed kept the person he wanted to save inside the automaton's body, making the boundary between "life" and "death" ambiguous, fluctuating, and thus deceiving Izanagi's people.
But …
"The body can be preserved, but the soul can't." Tian Quan said with a wry smile: "That is a concept that no one has confirmed its existence, but it does exist. Otherwise, as long as the body that is still moving can resurrect people intact, then the automaton doesn't need Eve's Heart to give them will and life."
After being divided into several parts, no matter who it was, it was impossible to continue to live, right?
Even if the body could still maintain activity, after losing the body, the soul would lose its place to attach to, and it was impossible to achieve a complete resurrection.
Perhaps others could not confirm the existence of the soul, but Rozen could tell everyone with certainty that the soul existed.
Therefore, from the moment "this person" was divided into several pieces, she was both alive and dead. Both were facts.
Tian Quan could preserve her body and then put it back together, but to fully resurrect her, he must find the soul.
That was the reason why Tian Quan decided to betray his country, come to this country, enter the Mecha Academy, and participate in the research of The Fool's Sanctuary.
"The essence of Androkhines is the formation of artificial souls."
Rozen revealed his secret.
"With this research, you can obtain related technology in the soul, and find a way to bring Fuko's soul back."
Yes.
Tian Quan wanted to save Fuko and his sister.
Raizen said that he saw Tian Quan dissected Fuko and made her into a Taboo Doll. That was the truth.
The reason why Tian Quan gave Want Stone to Rozen was to let Rozen see if he could analyze something from it and achieve his goal of summoning Fuko's soul back.
"So far, what is the soul, what kind of existence it is, and what kind of structure it has, we still can't fully understand it."
Tian Quan said.
"However, as long as we use the magic principle of" exchange, "even if we don't know the composition, we can pull the soul back to this world, which is an application of exchange magic."
The so-called exchange magic referred to the magic of changing different substances.
For example, turning stones into bread, turning swords into guns, turning minerals into gold, turning air into poisonous gas, and so on, which was an application of Alchemy.
What Tian Quan wanted to do was very simple.
"It may not be easy to turn stones into bread, but it's much easier to turn bread into bread, even if it's different bread."
In other words, Tian Quan intended to sacrifice his own soul to exchange Fuko's soul from the underworld.
This method was similar to the exchange of a life for a life in Mount Tai Prefecture Monarch Ceremony.
"The problem is that ordinary substances can't maintain the soul that was exchanged. If you want to capture Fuko's soul, you need a means to capture an incorporeal existence."
Akabane Clan happened to have such a means.
In the past, didn't Rozen use it to capture the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit summoned by the God's Advent Ritual and make them take shape?
It was …
"Crimson Wing Formation — this is the only power we can rely on."
