Chapter 395: Ambition to Seize the Divine Kingdom
"So, your brother saw the future of this world."
"This world will eventually be completely destroyed one day due to a great war between a bald man with unbelievably powerful strength and a guy known as [Fatalism]."
"Therefore, Mob decided to build his own Divine Kingdom in the Spirit World, incorporating all souls into his Divine Kingdom to survive that catastrophe..."
[Ritsu Kageyama] nodded with difficulty. His spirit body became somewhat illusory. Clearly, he summoned up courage to attempt a fight, but this man with clasped hands was simply too powerful.
[You accommodated a weak Spirit]
*[You accommodated a twisted Evil Spirit 1]
[Your Energy attribute +1. Current: ?]
...
Kaito Shirogane still maintained the posture of [Yin Spirit Entry]. The spirits in his body had not completely returned, and he constantly emitted that pulling force.
At this moment, he had already absorbed more than half of the nearly thousand spirits created behind him by hammering [Sage].
He pondered the information just obtained.
At this time, he felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
Obviously, [Fate Eternal] wasn't the kind of petty guy he thought. The opponent had terrifying ambitions.
Although Kaito said that to create a [Black King], one should choose a guy like Saitama.
But actually, he didn't have a very mature plan.
At best, it would just be going a step further from Sage's plan—making Saitama suffer social death, making him bear infamy, and completely losing the basis of the concept of [Hero].
No, he probably couldn't even do that kind of thing.
Uchiha Madara's soul at this moment couldn't activate the [Rinnegan] nor release [Infinite Tsukuyomi], thus unable to hypnotize everyone directly through that kind of large-scale jutsu.
He could only mold Saitama into a villain 'aiding a tyrant' through media and Reincarnators, making Saitama suffer social spurning.
But the concept of [Hero] in Saitama's heart was extremely pure. That was the most basic [Goodness] rooted in the brilliance of human nature.
Just like instinctively wanting to help when seeing someone in need.
Instinctively wanting to pull up someone who fell into the water.
That simplest kind thought born from the [Heart] was the foundation of his being a hero for fun.
He was a hero just because he wanted that kind of thing, not others' recognition.
Without the help of special abilities, he couldn't make Saitama be negated by the concept of [Hero] at all.
And [Fate Eternal], whom he initially thought incompetent, was unexpectedly playing a very big game.
He let Sage and other elite Reincarnator teams spend the time of one mission world to completely guide [Mob] to blacken, turning into [???], and now the [Spirit World Evil Lord].
But the purpose wasn't to make Mob become a Black King or completely degenerate.
[Fate Eternal] believed from the start that [Mob] wouldn't be swallowed by evil either. He believed Mob could overcome the state of [???] and find himself.
Of course, Kaito didn't lack malicious speculation. If Mob didn't act as he thought but completely hid in the darkness to become a monster, then [Fate Eternal] would definitely play the role of a hero in this mission world.
Eventually teaming up with Saitama or Tornado and others to kill Mob, completing the drama of saving the world.
Although this direction couldn't give birth to a [Black King], in terms of single-world returns, it was almost in the top tier, enough to make a Third Ladder Reincarnator team like [Chaos Sage] earn a lot.
But...
Whether ability or wisdom, [Fate Eternal]'s choice wasn't wrong. Mob was indeed worthy of being a world protagonist; his [Goodness] overwhelmed [Evil], leading him to the current situation.
He was saving the world under the guise of destroying it.
"The premise of all this is... the future your brother saw is real..."
Kaito continued to probe. As top-tier espers, what kind of abilities people like Mob and Tornado could develop was completely unpredictable.
And in these worlds, there were indeed some prophecy-side ability users appearing, such as Shibabawa in One Punch Man who successfully predicted the appearance of Boros and others.
Boom!
Terrifying vibration suddenly hit. The dark Spirit World in the distance vibrated loudly as if hit by a hurricane.
A large number of spirits were blown from the Spirit World into this Pure Land outside the Divine Kingdom in an instant.
Kaito took the opportunity to grab two and incorporate them into his body.
Ritsu couldn't care about stopping Kaito at this time. Looking at the vibrating and twisting appearance of the Spirit World outside, his expression changed greatly.
"Bad, brother must be in danger!"
Only when the [Spirit World Evil Lord] controlling the Spirit World encountered great danger and difficulty could such a situation occur in the Spirit World.
Ritsu immediately turned and ran towards the Spirit World. Kaito's eyes moved, and he actively spoke:
"Fool, what use is it for you to go if even your brother can't win!"
"You should think about what else here can help him!"
Kaito's cold mockery made Ritsu pause.
Yeah, even if I go, I probably can't help much, and might become a burden instead. What should I do at this time...
In this world, if even my brother can't match the enemy, who else can help...
He immediately thought of the legendary strongest esper, [Tornado of Terror].
"We should find a way to go to the outskirts of the Spirit World, find a psychic phone, and look for Miss Tornado. She is a hero, she definitely..."
Kaito didn't get the answer he wanted and denied the teenager's hope coldly.
"Heh, I saw Tornado fighting your brother earlier. The danger at this moment might be caused by that Miss Tornado."
Ritsu was stunned, his mind in a mess. If Miss Tornado won't do...
"I should go find [Sho]'s father, the boss of the organization [Claw]!"
This still wasn't the answer Kaito wanted. He continued to deny.
"That kind of guy is probably searching the world for helpers to kill your brother right now. You still want to ask him for help, heh..."
He turned his head, looking at that huge broccoli plant.
Kaito's action finally attracted Ritsu's attention. He seemed to think of his brother's [Divine Kingdom] only at this moment.
If not for maintaining this Divine Kingdom, with my brother's ability, he wouldn't necessarily lose to Tornado...
He didn't notice that a certain desire in his heart was being provoked.
"I have to go... to the Divine Kingdom..."
Kaito finally smiled.
"Yeah, the only one who can help your brother now is you."
"Of course, if you need, I can also offer a humble effort..."
His smile was bright. Accompanied by a white-haired spirit body rapidly retracted into his Sea of Consciousness, he dispersed his stance, getting up and promoting himself like this.
As if the person who just elbowed this teenager mercilessly wasn't him.
"Tsk tsk, this appearance, you really look less and less like a good person, Mr. Host."
Gojo Satoru returned to the familiar Sea of Consciousness, looking at the slightly empty white consciousness space. The breach on the periphery was more obvious, and the flow speed of the Yellow Spring seemed to become faster.
He put on his blindfold again, lying into the Yellow Spring.
Regarding Kaito's actions, he just teased a couple of sentences. At this moment, all Yin Spirits in this Sea of Consciousness were tied to the opponent's war chariot.
After all, the opponent made a [Vow]. After obtaining the ability to release all Yin Spirits, he would release all Yin Spirits for reincarnation, just like... a Son of Heaven of Yin making a promise to his subjects.
