Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 832 - 816: Treasure Users Gather in Paradise
Phoenix Academy Maggie grasped the Word Spirit Prayer Beads thrown by Inuyasha, the purplish-red beads exuding a cold texture, as if intruding up the arm into the heart.
A heavy pressure weighed down on Phoenix Academy Maggie's heart, facing the Dread Emperor and an unknown-strength Naraku.
What kind of fate awaited Inuyasha, who stayed behind?
She could imagine.
But she did not hesitate, for at this moment, any hesitation could waste Inuyasha's resolve.
Phoenix Academy Maggie clenched the Word Spirit Prayer Beads tightly.
The purplish-red beads emitted a glow, quickly forming a spatial passage behind.
Hojo Shouko and Phoenix Academy Maggie sprinted towards the passage together.
Aozawa raised his hand in the sky and said, "Don't think about running."
"Vajra Spear Break!"
Inuyasha's heroic roar echoed in the ears of Phoenix Academy Maggie and Hojo Shouko.
The two ran out of the spatial passage, returning to that VIP room.
Besides Emily and Katerina, a tall, black-haired beauty had joined the room.
Morimoto Chiyoda initially intended to raise her hand and greet them with a smile, but noticed the gravity on their faces.
She immediately put away her joking demeanor, her expression turning serious, "What happened?"
A deep shade passed through Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes, just as she was about to speak, the Word Spirit Prayer Beads in her hand suddenly shattered.
Fragments silently dissipated in the air, leaving only a bright red string in Phoenix Academy Maggie's palm.
"Inuyasha is dead."
Phoenix Academy Maggie watched this scene, her heart guessing the outcome for Inuyasha who stayed behind.
Morimoto Chiyoda furrowed her brows and asked, "Is Naraku really that powerful?"
"Now that Naraku and the Dread Emperor are teaming up, claiming they want to destroy the world together."
Phoenix Academy Maggie tightened the red string in her hand, her porcelain doll-like face showing a hint of helplessness as she said, "Inuyasha stayed behind, sacrificing himself so we could flee."
"World destruction, huh, why do those Angel Envoys all have antisocial personalities."
Morimoto Chiyoda couldn't help but complain, always talking about destroying the world. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
What did the world do wrong after all?
Once Morimoto Chiyoda slightly calmed down, she began to seriously ponder what to do.
Currently, among the Treasure Users, perhaps no one could defeat the Dread Emperor, but if all forty-eight Treasure Users combined, there might be a slight chance.
However, this chance only stood if the Dread Emperor didn't summon other monsters.
The Dread Emperor was the embodiment of the Demon Realm, able to control countless monsters.
While Morimoto Chiyoda was deep in thought, golden light suddenly flickered inside the room, accompanied by a deeply magnetic voice from within.
"Treasure Users, come in."
The voice was unmistakably Dio's, as Emily recognized it with wide eyes; even he couldn't sit still?
Thinking this, Emily quickly grabbed her shield and headed inside.
The light flashed.
Emily felt a slight sensation of weightlessness and noted the resistance of a thin membrane.
Applying a bit of force to break through, she found herself before an exquisitely splendid temple.
Pure white all over, its exact construction materials unknown, only that towering columns, shaped semicircularly, surrounded the temple, making the plaza at the temple's entrance likened to an upturned bowl.
Each column was carved with magnificent and grand statues.
Above the temple lay a cosmic-like scene.
A celestial orb, not merely the sun nor the moon, hung at the temple's apex, encircled by silvery white light.
It should be the moon, Emily reasoned to herself.
Phoenix Academy Maggie and others emerged from behind.
From nearby light globes, Treasure Users from other countries were also crossing over to this place.
The forty-eight Treasure Users all stood there, including Aozawa.
Feigning ignorance, he exchanged pleasantries with Phoenix Academy Maggie and her group.
The other Treasure Users engaged in mutual exchanges, creating a scene of chaos.
"What's this about?"
"Dio... why suddenly seek us out?"
"We haven't met since last time, it's been a while. How have you been lately?"
From expressing curiosity to chatting casually, the conversations varied.
Just like in Alaska State, there were no language barriers among them here.
"Is this Paradise?"
"It resembles outer space."
"This temple is indeed magnificent, making St. Peter's Basilica look trivial; this venue could accommodate at least hundreds of thousands."
The topic eventually circled back to their current environment.
From within the splendid temple, Dio's voice beckoned, "Come in, everyone."
The grand temple doors slowly opened.
Contrary to its silvery exterior, the inside gleamed with a splendid golden hue, with the ceiling inlaid with stained glass.
The colorful light spilled in from the windows, casting a dreamlike aura within the temple.
The hues were vivid and bright, yet lacked any sense of light pollution.
Instead, it makes one feel that every vibrant light is matched with exceptional precision.
Causing the viewer to involuntarily feel a sense of insignificance.
Emily took the lead, walking in with her little short legs, and was the last to reach the center of the temple.
She passed through the crowd standing below, gazing at the figure seated atop the tiered steps, surrounded by dazzling multicolored light, making it impossible to view the true form.
Just a glance, and the eyes would feel a searing sharp pain, as if burning.
Emily hurriedly lowered her head.
"This time, calling you here is because the anticipated adverse situation has occurred."
Dio sat upright on the white divine throne, speaking slowly and steadily.
Aozawa below lowered his eyes, seemingly listening to Dio's speech, yet his mind was already drifting far away.
This piece of paradise was a space he created from the will-o'-the-wisp, recreating another paradise space.
Like the Different World, the originally destined collapse of this space was directly eliminated by him.
To make everyone feel awestruck, he deliberately made the temple exceedingly large.
As everyone knows, grandeur is art, grandeur is beauty!
...
Most of the people below experienced the bewilderment akin to Louis XVI, unable to make sense of the situation.
They weren't clear what the so-called expected adverse situation entailed.
They glanced at each other, in the multicolored light, struggling to discern the expressions of those around them, only able to see general silhouettes.
Making them realize whether anyone was in front or beside them.
Among them, some were debating whether to inquire for details, while others believed patiently waiting would yield answers.
Dio didn't make them wait too long, continuing to speak, "Phoenix Academy Maggie, speak about what you will see."
"Hey."
Phoenix Academy Maggie replied and took a step forward, turning around to face the dozens of silhouettes in the multicolored light, she voiced out, "I just went with Hojo Shouko to the Different World…"
She recounted everything that happened in the Different World.
About Naraku and the Shikon Jewel, the Dread Emperor, including the aftermath with Inuyasha.
The expression on Li Quangui's face was full of admiration as he said, "Inuyasha truly is an upright and honest hero!"
Others wanted to agree, but Dio from the stage spoke up, "That's how things are.
Continuing to sit idly in this world and letting the Dread Emperor devour that world means his next target will be this world.
We must take the initiative to strike."
At this point, Dio deliberately paused, then said gravely, "When you return, inform the leaders of various countries about this, let them muster their armies, and when I am ready, we will set out to conquer the Dread Emperor and Naraku!
Go ahead."
Without giving them time to speak again, as soon as Dio finished speaking, golden spheres of light suddenly appeared, the enormous suction pulling them in and sending them back to their respective countries.
...
Tokyo, Imperial Palace.
Outside Toyomei-den, a layer of broken stones was spread across the square, golden light flickered fleetingly in the void, quickly tossing nine people out.
"Who are you?"
The surrounding guards shouted as they rushed over, guns in hand.
Phoenix Academy Maggie stood in the square, waved her hand, and said, "It's me, no need to panic, all of you can stand down."
"Hey."
The guards nodded as they returned to their posts.
Phoenix Academy Maggie surveyed the few people present, her expression serious as she said, "Everyone heard Dio's words clearly, now let's go together to see the Prime Minister to discuss the plan."
"Can we win the war against Naraku and the Dread Emperor?"
Ayatsuki Ayaka scratched her head, her wheat-colored cheeks showing a hint of terror mixed with a sliver of hope.
She naturally wanted to be part of saving the world, but worried she couldn't protect it.
Or even die during the process.
Morimoto Chiyoda patted her shoulder and laughed, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will protect you."
"Sister Chitose, I like you the most~"
Ayatsuki Ayaka hugged her tightly, enjoying the treatment of Chitose brand cleanser.
Morimoto Chiyoda stroked her head, "I also like Ayaka the most."
She didn't mind this closeness at all, even provocatively glanced at Aozawa, as if to say, see the relationship between Ayaka and me.
Emily rubbed her chin and said, "It's difficult, those soldiers are too sluggish in front of monsters."
"Let's not rush to conclusions about this problem; we should see what the professionals propose."
Phoenix Academy Maggie knew clearly that no matter how smart they were, unless specialized, they couldn't know military matters as well as those graduating from military academies.
Like those prodigies who don't need to read any military books, fighting wars purely by instinct and talent are rare throughout human history.
Although the Self-Defense Forces' combat quality is concerning, and the hereditary general positions are hard to fulfil, they still nurture a group of theorist rich in knowledge.
Those people might not be 100% correct, but they understand the military better than outsiders like them.
Emily nodded, following Phoenix Academy Maggie towards the North Wing of Honmaru Palace.
Hojo Tetsuji scratched his head and whispered, "Aozawa, do you think I should go home first at this time?"
He understood himself well; these brainy matters were never his forte.
Aozawa shrugged and said, "I don't care, but Maggie and the others might want you to stay."
"No choice, I'll wait until the end then."
Hojo Tetsuji sighed lightly, not insisting on going home but sent a message to Yoshikawa Sayuri, updating her on the situation, asking her not to worry.
