Chapter 520: Orochi, Descends
Aileen didn't ignore the ominous sound of the wind. She immediately explained it to Cheng Tian, but because there was no concrete information, Aileen gesticulated for a long time, unsure what exactly to say.
However, Cheng Tian didn't dismiss it as Aileen having a delusion. Upon hearing keywords like "ominous" and "wind," he immediately made a connection and then sought out Chizuru Kagura.
Cheng Tian even provided additional innocent souls, offering energy for the soul materialization of Maki Kagura, who was inside the Yata Mirror, allowing her to participate in the discussion.
By the way, among the three Sacred Treasures families, apart from Iori Yagami, both the Kusanagi family and the Kagura family have awarded Cheng Tian a considerably high reputation value. After all, Cheng Tian was a great hero who eliminated three members of the Orochi Hakkesshu and came to help immediately after Kyo Kusanagi's girlfriend went missing... Regardless of who called Cheng Tian or if he found the person, the mere fact that he arrived at the scene immediately and opposed the Hakkesshu was enough to significantly boost the three Sacred Treasures families' favorability and reputation.
Kyo Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura are the next generation and current family heads, respectively, and their attitudes largely represent their families' stances.
Having killed three genuine Hakkesshu, Cheng Tian's reputation in these two families had surpassed the 'friendly' level and reached the 'respected' stage.
"So, the resurrected Leona will offer herself as a vessel for Orochi's revival?"
Chizuru Kagura bit her nails, her face filled with worry.
Although she had considered this possibility, when Cheng Tian actively brought it up, the likelihood of this future, which she least wanted to see, clearly increased.
"Not only that, but people with Orochi's power in them, like Leona and Iori Yagami, might also be in danger, because she might choose a sacrificial playstyle to ensure the strength of Orochi's revival."
Cheng Tian's description contained many gaming terms, but because some Japanese contexts are inherited from Chinese, it wasn't difficult to understand.
"So, she will choose to kill the other existing Hakkesshu in advance to complete the sacrifice ritual?"
The materialized soul of Maki Kagura imagined it based on Cheng Tian's description, and the memory of being killed by Leona herself resurfaced from the depths of her soul.
"So, theoretically, Iori Yagami, Leona, Ryuji Yamazaki, and the two who were killed by Iori last year might have also been resurrected and placed on Leona's sacrifice list... But then again, Orochi's revival is already a foregone conclusion. From the moment Kyo Kusanagi's girlfriend was drained, Orochi's revival became unavoidable. You probably don't know, but his girlfriend is actually the reincarnation of Kushinada Hime, who was sacrificed to Orochi back then, and she herself is a key to opening the sealed gate.
With the key in hand, it means the door can be opened at any time. And now, the act of sacrificing the Hakkesshu is essentially like gorging on food. The only difference is how full Orochi will be after stepping out of the gate."
The Kagura sisters' expressions were somewhat grim.
Cheng Tian's analogy was simple and easy to understand. Preventing Orochi's revival was almost impossible, because as long as Leona, who could preside over the ritual, wasn't killed, everything was moot.
At most, they could now try to prevent Orochi from being full before coming out.
In short, they had to ensure the safety of other current Orochi bloodline holders as much as possible.
But the problem was, the current organizers could at most provide some protective warnings for the black-skinned Leona. As for the stubborn mule-like Iori Yagami, they didn't even know where he had gone.
Currently, the only thing they could roughly confirm was that he probably hadn't left the island nation by plane, and that was all.
Whether out of a protective instinct or an absolute need for Orochi's sealing, Iori Yagami's existence was indispensable.
"...Can we only try to get Kyo Kusanagi to go again?"
Chizuru Kagura, who acted as a buffer between Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, had a headache.
There weren't many people Iori cared about in this world; only his fated rival, Kyo Kusanagi, had the qualification and ability to bring Iori back.
But at this moment, in the same room, Aileen, who was almost oblivious to others, waving her arms and synchronizing with the Owl Spirit, suddenly jolted, then reopened her eyes, her expression somewhat lost.
"Can an invincible unit also be killed?"
Aileen's mind was a bit muddled.
"Has it come?!"
Cheng Tian, however, immediately caught the detail from Aileen's mouth.
The observation-dedicated Owl Spirit, theoretically in an invincible state, had died. And something that could bypass invincible armor and forcibly destroy a spirit, in the current worldview, could only be... "No! Leona!"
Several people exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Immediately after, an orange-gold figure had already punched through the door of Chizuru Kagura's room, and the group, each displaying their abilities, rushed towards the direction of the medical room.
At this time, Leona, who was knocked out of the match without much resentment, knowing it was purely due to inferior skill, was like a bent-backed Spinosaurus, hissing at the female priest who pushed open the door.
"It seems your mental growth hasn't been significant either."
Goenitz, who had also inherited from his parents but still placed himself in a superior position, spoke to Leona with a condescending attitude.
Due to the excessive mental trauma she suffered back then, Leona didn't have memories of being guided to kill her parents. However, when she saw the airflow taking shape in Goenitz's hand, a booming roar, like lightning striking her mind, made Leona's head buzz.
Then, the memory that had been actively sealed in a corner due to instinctive pain resurfaced.
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!
Accompanied by a series of intense heartbeats that seemed to resonate with everyone in the entire arena, Leona, who let out a painful roar, her blue hair instantly turned blood-red... just like when it was stained by her parents' blood back then.
But just as Leona was about to enter her berserk state, Goenitz's palm, filled with Orochi's power, had already clamped around Leona's slender neck.
"It's time to say goodbye."
A silver whirlwind, from bottom to top, enveloped Leona's entire body—
Dark Cry! (I watched TV)
The colorless whirlwind instantly turned into a bloody whirlwind. Leona, already in a poor state, suffered massive blood loss.
And at this moment, Goenitz suddenly felt a nearly fatal crisis.
The next second, Ralf, who had been transported to the adjacent medical room after taking Kyo Kusanagi's Mu Shiki, broke through the wall with terrifying, unstoppable punch power—
Galactica Phantom!
But, it was all too late.
The ritual was complete.
Breaking out of the cocoon, becoming a butterfly.
A pillar of energy, gathering the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, erupted from Goenitz's toes as the central point, directly blasting through the entire building and simultaneously sending Ralf, whose punch wind had already arrived, flying.
All of Goenitz's clothes, except for her pants, were almost completely torn, and her body shape underwent a drastic change.
Her height shot up from 1.7 meters to over 2 meters.
Her long golden hair turned into pale silver.
A pattern, resembling both a sun and a spider web, emerged from within her body, perfectly covering the crucial areas of her chest, which still had a slight rise and fall.
The expression on her face also changed from haughty to divine indifference.
With just a gentle step forward, her figure vanished, reappearing directly above the main arena, gazing down at everything below with eyes that viewed them as ants.
Orochi... descends!
