Chapter 23 Hermes' Purpose and Going to the Imperial City(1/2)
"hateful!"
Shortly after the battle ended, Nagato struggled to get up from the ground. He looked into the distance, and the samsara eyes in his eyes had disappeared.
Then he looked at Timsi, Sasuke and Konan, who were not sure whether they were alive or dead, and felt helpless in his heart that he had not seen for a long time.
He didn't expect Hela to be so strong, and didn't even give him a chance to use the Rinnegan and Uchiha Madara.
Ten years have passed since I faced Hanzo's powerlessness in the Kingdom of Rain and the powerlessness of the Holy Lord in the Lietuo Kingdom. In these ten years, have I made any progress?!
"Oh no, those soldiers are coming."
His body was exhausted, and the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows made him unable to use his strength. If he faced those fully armed Amestrian soldiers in this state, he would probably die.
But now it's extremely difficult to move by myself, not to mention there are three seriously injured people here who are even more seriously injured.
Damn it, it happened that Tsunade and Shimazaki Ryo were captured, otherwise even if any of them stayed, they would not be in this situation.
"Hey, aren't these ninjas from another continent? It looks like there is an acquaintance..."
Suddenly, a 'young man' about 1.65 meters tall came from a distance. It was Enwei. He felt the vibration and energy coming from this place, so he led his troops to investigate.
At this moment, he looked at Nagato who was barely standing and the three people who fell on the ground, showing an exaggerated smile.
"What happened? You actually let me get such a big deal..."
Enwei waved his hand and said, "Tie them all up and send them to the capital. Although we didn't catch the hungry wolf, it's not bad to use these boys to do business."
"yes!"
The soldiers behind him tied up the defenseless Nagato, Konan, Sasuke and Timsey. At this time, he suddenly stopped, glanced at Timsey, and said
"Forget it, let's stop for a moment. According to the information from the guys we caught before, this kid seems to be related to the Grayl Stone mine. We can wait until we get those stones before sending them back to the capital.
"
………………
"strangeness……"
After destroying the town, Naruto sensed the general direction of Metkai's chakra, and then traveled for about half an hour.
At this time, he was standing in a field similar to a hilly ravine, then he raised his head in a daze and looked further ahead.
Something came from that direction just now, at that moment...
What does that feel like?
just like……
Just like the Philosopher's Stone that I saw before, which was formed by the power of nearly a thousand people and thousands of years of faith...
But it's bigger, denser, and more ancient!
What kind of power should that be?
It was as if... the real gods responded to the prayers of believers, spreading the power of the divine realm at the top of the sky.
"What happened in that place..."
Naruto frowned, then raised his eyebrows again, slightly surprised.
"Teacher Kai is heading in that direction too? Could it be related to the disappearance of the lustful immortal?"
The elite Jonin of Konoha are all teachers at Kassel Academy, so there is nothing wrong with Naruto calling Kai his teacher.
At this moment, he is deeply immersed in the spiritual world. With his current ability, whether it is the 'qi' inherited from the Holy Lord's soul or the spiritual connections he learned from Aizen in the gray mist space, it is an excellent way to find people.
This method is even stronger than Sasuke's Haki and spiritual perception at a long distance!
"There are two huge energy bodies around Teacher Kai, one of which is a bit familiar..."
Because of the long distance, Naruto could not sense the specific situation, but he still vaguely felt that the aura of Yuanyi who had appeared in front of him was a bit familiar.
Then he stopped resting, dusted himself off, and whispered
"I have to go over there and have a look..."
………………
"I thought it would take a lot of effort..."
After arriving on land from the sea, Gojo Satoru, Tsukuni Enichi and Kai were heading towards a nearby metropolis. Gojo Satoru and Enichi stopped almost at the same time.
"Hmm... It seems that the core of the mutation has been found..."
Yuanyi looked seriously to the west, "Is it right there? It's such a chaotic atmosphere... No, there is a force that is constantly purifying that chaotic atmosphere."
"Um...what are you talking about?" Kai touched the back of his head in confusion and asked tentatively.
"The one who appears over there must be the Hermes you mentioned." Gojo Satoru pointed to the west with his thumb and said casually.
"He actually took the initiative to expose his location. Is he asking us to come to him? How interesting!"
"It may not be provoking us." Yuanyi added, "It could also be someone else. In short, if Hermes survived from the origin era as we expected, then he is by no means an innocent person, and he took the initiative to expose himself at this moment.
It's more likely a trap."
"Whether it's a trap or not..." Gojo Satoru replied. He who always showed an indifferent attitude also made a serious expression at this moment for the first time in a long time, and then said
"We all have to step in. Only by solving these people can we find the Soul King with peace of mind and then recreate the perfect wedge. Using Dio as the Soul King can last for up to three years. If that time comes
If we still can’t find the Spiritual King, then the world will collapse!”
"yes……"
Yuan nodded slightly, then suddenly froze
"What's wrong?"
Kai asked curiously
"At that moment, someone was looking at us."
Yuanyi said in a deep voice, "Although it is only a short process, and there is no malicious intent..."
"Is he a strong man from the Western Continent?" Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin and said to himself.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, as long as there is no malicious intent, there is no need for us to provoke them. Dealing with the mutation is the most important thing now."
"Then, let's go!" Kai had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He gave a thumbs up and said enthusiastically
"Youth will not forgive those who hesitate! Now that you have set a goal, you cannot stop!"
……………………
"The ability to reject everything... is truly amazing..."
Hermes sat on the throne, looked at Tsunade below, and said with emotion
"what do you want to do?"
Tsunade said with a vigilant look on her face. She lost consciousness not long after being wrapped in dark energy by the woman who called herself Hela.
When she woke up, she found herself in this darker room.
No, it is better to say it is a space than a room, and at the top is a man sitting on the throne.
At this moment, he said this after hearing Tsunade's question
"It's nothing, I just need your help with one thing."
"Oh? Ask me for help? Is this your attitude when asking for help? Have someone tie me up?"
"Well... Hela is probably too rude. She's obviously very old, but it's not okay to always end up like this..."
Hermes dragged his head with one hand and said casually, "But if it was just a simple invitation, you wouldn't come over, right?"
"..."
Tsunade took two steps back and looked around to see if there was any way to leave. In order to delay time, she asked
"What do you want from me?"
"I heard that you can even refuse Dio's time pause, right?"
"so what?"
"That's amazing." Hermes did not hide his approval. He smiled slightly, then stretched out his left hand, and the next moment a turbid energy body appeared in front of Tsunade.
"What is this?" Tsunade asked in confusion.
"Twenty million people and two thousand years of faith."
Hermes smiled lightly and said calmly
"Although it became a pure faith later on, there were a lot of magazines in the early days, so I need you to help me purify it."
"Really..." Tsunade frowned, "Let's not mention how 20 million people have faith for two thousand years. What do you want to do with these faiths?"
"Use it as an anchor." Hermes said without concealing his purpose.
"If you want to devour the body of God, you must have the will and divinity to compete with God. Just the sublimated Seven Deadly Sins can allow me to obtain pure divinity, but it is not enough to restrain the will of God."
"So, the anchor is crucial. Let this power of faith serve as the anchor of 'Hermes' to resist God's will, so that I can swallow God without any side effects."
