Chapter 16 What kind of world do you want to create?
Gojo Satoru has always been very concerned about the Holy Spirit Church.
It wasn't because they had done many bad things, but because he sensed a hint of "Xia Youjie's" style in the behavior of this sect.
Xia Youjie saw the ugliness of mortals, so he wanted to create a world where only sorcerers existed, even if it meant killing all mortals, to achieve this ideal.
The Holy Spirit Cult also saw the darkness in the secular world, but their approach was to enable ordinary people to become sorcerers, possessing the power to erase those ugly sins in an eye for an eye.
These two approaches are completely opposite, but they are essentially similar.
That is, they all want to use powerful force and violent means to cleanse this dirty world.
"Could Xia Youjie be the mastermind behind the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Gojo Satoru's shoulders trembled slightly. His emotions were very complicated at the moment, a mixture of anticipation and fear.
If the Holy Spirit Church truly inherits Xia Youjie's ideas, what should he do?
To wipe out this organization that is trying to subvert the world once again?
Or……
Try believing just once?
"No matter what, let's go see that person first."
With a thought, Wu Tiao Wusou unleashed his magical power, condensing it into a ball of magical power with imaginary mass called "Azure".
Immediately afterwards, centered on Cang, the cursed sphere unleashed an incredibly terrifying attraction, instantly compressing the "space" between him and Liz and the others.
next second.
Gojo Satoru traversed several kilometers of Tokyo streets and appeared directly beneath a building.
"Tsk, is this all we can do?"
Looking around the building, where there were faint fluctuations of magical energy resembling a "barrier," Gojo Satoru couldn't help but smirk, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered into the building.
Putting aside the sorcerer's perspective, to be honest, what the Holy Spirit Cult does is quite to Gojo Satoru's liking.
He had long been annoyed by those bloated, corrupt high-ranking officials, but the cursed spirits posed a greater threat to humanity, and he was too busy eliminating them to deal with this scum.
Since the Holy Spirit Cult has done what he wanted to do for him, Gojo Satoru doesn't intend to make things difficult for them.
Of course, this is on the premise that they are not Xia Youjie's successors, and their ideals are not as crazy as Xia Youjie's.
If so.
Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fluctuations of his cursed power began to solidify. Every step he took forward was incredibly firm.
Then I have no choice but to send you on your way once again.
……
The top floor of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
Lu Ping stared at a crystal ball, which clearly displayed the scene of Gojo Satoru barging in. His eyelids twitched as he watched, and he complained in annoyance.
"No way, has the will of Heaven really intervened?"
"It's only been a month, and it's already attracted someone of Gojo Satoru's caliber."
"I apologize, Holy Spirit. I didn't notice someone following me. I deserve to die; I should commit suicide!"
As Liz looked at the scene before her, her guilt reached its peak. In an instant, she used her magical power to condense a sharp blade in her hand, ready to slit her own throat.
Lu Ping casually waved his hand to stop her, then shook his head and said.
"It has nothing to do with you. Gojo Satoru is tracking you, so no matter how careful you are, it won't help."
"If he wanted to, he could have leveled my entire building and this whole block, but he just didn't."
Lu Ping sighed helplessly.
If she were being followed by a level one sorcerer like Moth of the Righteous Path or Nanami Kento, Lu Ping would definitely call Liz a terrible teammate and, even if he didn't kill her, would punish her severely.
But who's on the other side?
Gojo Satoru.
An ultimate hexagonal warrior who combines mechanics, numerical values, and combat intelligence.
A top-tier expert who can teleport, create black holes, and resurrect from the dead.
Being targeted by a monster of this level, not only Liz, but even Lu Ping himself would have to admit defeat.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this day and divided his soul into three parts, hiding his original body in the most secret place, where it was absolutely impossible for anyone to find it.
At worst, we'll just lose some of our magical power and give away this clone.
However, before he dies, he must at least have a go at Gojo Satoru. This will allow him to test the difference in combat power between himself and the five powerful warriors, and also to cover Liz and the others' retreat, buying them time to escape.
"You, take Shunpei and Takahashi and run! Stop using spells and go through the secret passage. Gojo Satoru can sense your spell power fluctuations."
Lu Ping nudged Liz and the others, and gave them instructions.
Gojo Satoru possesses "six eyes," which allow him to directly track the trajectory of cursed power. He also has 360-degree long-distance vision, enabling him to see what's behind him and even from a great distance.
Under the surveillance of the Six-Eyed, using a spell to escape would only make him instantly aware of her location and discover her more quickly. Simply relying on her physical strength to walk would be better, as there would be more people and things to interfere, and it wouldn't be as conspicuous as moving with the trajectory of a spell.
"But, Holy Spirit, you..."
Liz said urgently.
"don’t worry."
Lu Ping's lips curled into a slight smile. He was already well aware of the legends about Liz circulating within the church.
Since that's the case, he might as well take this opportunity to perform a "miracle".
"The Holy Spirit is immortal."
……
Ten minutes later.
Gojo Satoru arrived at the top floor of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters building almost without any hindrance. Lu Ping had already arranged for his men to evacuate first, and Gojo Satoru did not stop them.
He could sense that on the rooftop, there was a massive surge of magical energy. This surge of magical energy made no attempt to conceal its movement, and simply sat there calmly.
It was as if they had known he was coming all along and were waiting for him.
In that case, there's no need for Gojo Satoru to purge the Holy Spirit Cult's lackeys.
His original purpose was simply to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
crunch--
As the door opened, what came into view was the back of a huge, pure black chair.
"Yo."
Gojo Satoru gently raised his hand and greeted him softly and comfortably.
"Sorry for showing up uninvited."
"It's okay."
Lu Ping did not turn around, but responded calmly.
but.
Gojo Satoru, however, did not play by the rules. In just one second, he teleported in front of Lu Ping.
boom!!!
In an instant, an immense pressure poured out from the center of Gojo Satoru, grinding down on the road from all directions without any blind spots.
Cups, desks, chairs, and even the reinforced concrete floor were crushed in that instant, and the entire building began to sway precariously.
Gojo Satoru removed his blindfold, and his eyes, as bright as stars, suddenly approached Lu Ping's face. At a distance of only a few centimeters, he stared intently into Lu Ping's eyes and said expressionlessly.
Do you know someone named Xia Youjie?
"know."
Lu Ping was not lying.
Gojo Satoru's "Six Eyes" has been developed to a terrifying degree. He can even judge whether someone is lying by observing subtle changes in tone of voice, reactions, and fluctuations in magical power. He has the effect of a human lie detector.
really.
Gojo Satoru's facial muscles twitched slightly.
Whether it was Lu Ping's imagination or not, he saw a fleeting sadness, confusion, and感慨 (a complex mix of emotions) in Gojo Satoru's eyes.
But soon, Gojo Satoru's gaze returned to that unfathomable depth, like the starry sky and the vast ocean.
His tone remained calm, a calmness completely different from his usual cheerful and eccentric self. He asked, word by word, in the coldest of voices.
"So, what kind of world do you want to create?"
