Chapter 409 Holy Purification Ineffective?
The reason for the cannon fire made Broly realize that this world could pose a threat to his enormous wife, Scorpio, and the fear and hatred humans have for Gastrea caused Broly some anxiety.
Fortunately, there is still nearly a month before he leaves this world, and Master Aqua will soon arrive. Her imminent arrival has temporarily prevented Broly from having the idea of eliminating all threats in this world.
After the Sky Ladder was destroyed after being fired upon, various rumors began to circulate. Some said that the Holy Emperor's attempt to expel Scorpio had failed, and that the only means of counterattack for the Tokyo Safety Zone was now destroyed. Others said that Scorpio would soon invade the Tokyo Safety Zone from the Old Port area...
The Tokyo Safety Zone can no longer be called a safety zone, but a zone of danger. With other safety zones in Japan willing to unconditionally open their immigration policies, some citizens who are able to leave Tokyo are, like the Saiyan boy, developing anxieties about their living environment based on various rumors and gossip.
Unlike Broly, who knew there was a possibility to change the status quo but therefore did not take action to change the environment, these citizens could not place their hopes for survival on the outside world. Scorpios never entered the Tokyo Safety Zone, and those who were capable all wanted to leave the Tokyo Safety Zone.
The impending exodus of a large number of middle and upper-class personnel from society has left the emperor, who has just extended his reach into the military, somewhat overwhelmed.
The young Holy Princess tried to assure the public of the safety of Scorpio, but she couldn't stop the spies from other safe zones, especially those from Osaka who were lurking in Tokyo, from stirring up public opinion.
The official departments that control public opinion in Tokyo have a hard time controlling the behavior of these people because they cannot distinguish whether these people are people with ulterior motives or just ordinary citizens who are worried about the safety of their living environment. If force is used, it is likely to turn into an official conspiracy theory.
Given the general sense of unease among officials, the young Holy Princess did not issue a strict order to control public opinion. Instead, she dispatched her public relations department to ensure the safety of the Tokyo Safety Zone in terms of public opinion.
But in private, the young Saintess, like Broly, was waiting for Aqua's arrival, and she too placed her hopes for changing the status quo on the upcoming goddess from another world.
And so, when the holiday arrived, after Broly entered the Crystal Palace to help pay the crossover fee, Aqua made her dazzling debut in front of a group of potential wives.
Today, Aqua's attire leans towards a goddess-like business style, with a dignified and elegant demeanor, surrounded by intentionally placed specks of divine power, fully displaying her demeanor as a chief goddess.
Those who witnessed the boy suddenly disappear and then reappear, only to be accompanied by a noble-looking woman, couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Welcome to our world, great water goddess, Lady Aqua!"
Fortunately, Rentaro Satomi did not forget his mission. After Aqua appeared, he and Enju Aihara immediately unfurled the banner in their hands. Although there was no welcoming ceremony with gongs and drums, they still managed to make the scene look like such a grand occasion.
"I'm very sorry, but since we're in the wilderness, we can't prepare a more formal welcome. I will make up for it when Lady Aqua returns to the city."
The young Holy Emperor apologized to the Goddess through a tablet, while Aqua, who had originally planned to give some ignorant bumpkins in this world a hard time, ended up feeling a little embarrassed.
Look how grandly the people here treat her, a far cry from the difficulties she faced when she went to Aksal before.
"Ahem, you've put in a good effort, but I didn't come into this world just to receive the flattery of mortals like you."
Aqua held her head high and puffed out her chest, giving off an impression that she wasn't so easy to get along with.
"Yes, I understand. I will order the welcome banquet to be kept to a minimum and not be too extravagant."
The young Holy Emperor nodded hastily, truly believing that Aqua was such a cold and aloof goddess.
[Ugh, a welcome banquet too! Damn it, a welcome banquet for me, how can it not be a little more grand?]
Aqua suppressed her desire to reveal her love for lively banquets, maintaining a calm expression. With a slight nod, she gave a weak nod to the obsequious attitude shown by the young Holy Emperor on the other end of the flat screen.
"Master Aqua, please come over here quickly and check on Scorpio's condition."
Ignoring his goddess master's inner desire to intimidate his new love interest in this world, Broly quickly called Aqua over to check on Scorpio's situation.
"Although I've seen the photos, I still find it somewhat unbelievable. However, since this is the result of some kind of cursed virus, it's definitely not a problem for me."
Aqua pulled out her staff, and Sumire Muroto stared intently at her retreating figure, while the others also looked on with anticipation.
Those present all knew that Broly had invited his goddess master to this world to help Scorpio regain rationality and intellect, and become human again. However, could such a thing really be accomplished?
[You bumpkins from another world, open your dog eyes wide and take a good look at the divine power I, Broly's most, most, most beloved goddess master, possess!]
Aqua thought to herself as she began to chant a divine spell: "All my familiars in this world, obey the command of the Water Goddess Aqua, at the request of my disciple Broly, and as my disciple Broly wishes, show your power to this world~"
A fierce wind rose from the ground, and a magnificent divine magic circle unfolded, encompassing the sky above. Dark clouds quickly gathered in the nearby sky.
"Is this the power of Kamisama—to change the natural environment?!"
Tendo Kisara and the others were utterly shocked.
I really want to draw a vial of her blood for research!
Sumire Muroto's eyes sparkled. She didn't say anything, but it wasn't hard to tell what she was thinking.
"What will happen next?"
Aihara Enju stared wide-eyed, then saw the dark clouds disperse and nothing had happened.
"Uh, I forgot, I don't have any followers in this world."
Meeting the questioning gaze of her adorable disciple, Aqua stuck out her pink tongue and made a playful gesture, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"Master Aqua, please be serious for once."
The group of people waiting behind her to witness the miracle swayed slightly, almost falling over. Suddenly, they realized that Aqua, the aloof goddess, wasn't so aloof after all.
Aqua's divine power is divided into two parts: one part is her own, and the other part is provided by the fervent faith of her believers. The stronger the faith, the stronger the power she can exert. And often, by using the power of the believers' faith, she can create a huge spectacle.
However, Aqua, who was preparing to make a big scene, subconsciously forgot that the Black Bullet was a completely unfamiliar world.
It is naturally impossible to perform a great miracle by relying on the power of believers when there are no believers at all.
"Okay, let's do it again."
Aqua raised her staff again, this time using her divine power.
The light, belonging to the divine purification magic, enveloped Scorpio from top to bottom.
However, the scenario of Scorpio transforming back into a human did not occur.
After sleeping on land for several days after landing, my dry skin suddenly became oily and shiny.
"Woo~"
Scorpio was awakened by the purification spell. She had never felt her big head so clear before. Countless tentacles reached out to the surroundings. As if her severe nearsightedness had been suddenly cured, she was a little excited and felt the surrounding land world, making ethereal cries.
Some tentacles explored Broly's body, and the familiar touch made Scorpio's tentacles become cautious.
But when a tentacle wrapped around Aqua's foot, she felt a comfortable aura emanating from the goddess.
"Ah, stop clinging to me!"
Aqua's feigned noble goddess demeanor was instantly shattered by physical attacks.
"Broly, save me!"
Aqua immediately turned to her adorable disciple for help, as she didn't want to be subjected to tentacle play.
"Is this the goddess?!"
Kisara Tendo had already run far away, but as she watched the goddess being bound and caressed by Scorpio's numerous tentacles, her eyes twitched incessantly.
Scorpio seems to regard Aqua as something important. Even after Broly rescued Aqua from the pile of tentacles, those split little tentacles still relentlessly tried to wrap around Aqua until they were some distance away before retracting.
"While I don't mind contact with aquatic life, isn't this child a bit too enthusiastic? Ah, he's all sticky and gooey!"
Aqua complained, but thankfully, she could use a purification spell on herself. After using the spell, the slime on her body was completely cleaned up.
"Master Aqua, did your purification technique fail? Why didn't Scorpio turn into a human?"
Broly then asked the question.
"It hasn't failed. There's only one possibility for why it hasn't turned into a human: it was originally this form."
Aqua denied the possibility that her divine magic had failed.
"Huh?!"
Broly was stunned. He quickly went to bring over Sumire Muroto, who was also entangled by Scorpio's tentacles. Along with her, another person entangled by Scorpio's tentacles was also brought over.
The kimono-clad girl, Sima Miori, looked flushed and breathless. It's worth noting that people usually don't wear underwear when wearing kimonos, and just now, Scorpio's tentacles had probed inside her from below.
If Sima Weizhi hadn't been willing to believe that Broly was there and wouldn't let anything happen to him, he might have pulled out his gun and fired at the tentacles that were entangled around him.
"Impossible, Scorpio's original form should be human."
Sumire Muroto insisted on this point.
"May I ask, what is the principle behind your purification spell?"
Aqua answered with the explanation of divine power, but people from a world without magical factors would find it difficult to understand something that doesn't exist.
"What are its specific functions?"
Sumire thought for a moment, then asked again.
"Clear all abnormal statuses on the affected individual, including but not limited to poison, burn, paralysis, and curse."
Aqua answered honestly, no longer maintaining her aloof goddess demeanor. She could sense her adorable disciple's anticipation for restoring Scorpio to human form.
Is this an abnormal situation?
Sumire Muroto had some guesses, but she still needed to verify them.
"Yeonju, come here."
She waved to Aihara Enju, who had run fast and hadn't been entangled by the tentacles.
The latest novel is first published here!
"What is it, doctor?"
Enju Aihara was on the other side of the building. After being called over, she jumped over.
"Lady Aqua, could you please use your purification spell on this child?"
Sumire asked.
"That's fine, but what are you going to do?"
Aqua frowned and asked.
"I want to see if your abilities can be effective on children infected with Enterovirus."
Dr. Sumire Muroto explained.
"Divine purification~"
This time, there was no fancy chanting; Aqua simply cast a purification spell directly at Enju Aihara.
"Enju, how do you feel?"
After the sacred purification was completed, Dr. Sumire Muroto asked.
"I feel a bit lighter."
After thinking for a moment, Aihara Enju replied.
"Don't control the changes in your pupil color; return to the uncontrolled state."
Dr. Sumire Muroto added.
Aihara Enju didn't understand, but she did as she was told.
"really……"
The female doctor examined the girl's pupils.
"What's wrong?"
Rentaro Satomi asked quickly.
"For the cursed child, the brighter the eye color, the higher the rate of Gastrea erosion in the body."
The cursed child can change the color of their eyes by controlling the activity of the gastritis virus within their body.
However, if the bright red color of her pupils fades without being controlled, it proves that the rate of gastritis invasion in her body has decreased...
Dr. Sumire Muroto explained.
"The divine magic works?!"
Rentaro Satomi was somewhat surprised, as the rate of erosion had always been the death line for the cursed children.
Once it exceeds 50%, it's equivalent to becoming gastrulous at any time.
"Lady Aqua, does your divine spell to remove abnormal statuses remove all abnormal statuses from the target?"
"Of course, who do you think I am? I am Aqua, the goddess of water. With my power, I can perform divine purification and remove any abnormal status."
Aqua stands tall and proud, brimming with confidence in her field of expertise.
"Can you change what you're born with?"
Sumire Muroto asked again.
"Uh, Divine Purification can only remove abnormal states. Things that are naturally present aren't considered abnormal, they're considered normal, right?"
"I understand, Yeonjoo. I need to draw some of your blood now."
Enju Aihara did not object, and after drawing a small tube of blood, Sumire Muroto asked Aqua to cast a purification spell on the girl, and then drew a little more blood.
Using a portable instrument capable of detecting erosion rates, Sumire Muroto examined the erosion rates of the two blood samples and, after comparing them, drew a conclusion.
The goddess Aqua's purification magic is effective, but it only works on the acquired rate of Gastrea virus erosion; it has no effect on the innate rate of erosion.
"Lady Aqua, if you use a purification spell on a butterfly, can you turn it into a caterpillar?"
"Ha, how is that possible?"
"I understand now."
"What did you understand?"
Aqua was a little confused. She didn't understand why this seemingly dejected guy in front of her looked like he had figured things out.
"I understand the limitations of your purification spell. Although some verification experiments are still needed, it shouldn't be too far off."
"Heh heh, you country bumpkin from another world, you're quite arrogant. Then tell me, what exactly are the limitations of this goddess's purification technique?"
Aqua crossed her arms and looked at the female doctor in front of her with some displeasure.
"You can only eliminate abnormalities that are not congenital, but you have no way to deal with congenital abnormalities."
As for individuals whose life forms have been completely altered, your power is unable to recognize their original form and then attempt to restore them abnormally.
"What are you talking about? Do you think I only know how to use purification magic? Watch this, even congenital diseases can be cured with my healing magic."
Aqua was a little angry, so she cast a healing spell on Aihara Enju. The healing spell from the goddess quickly made Aihara Enju's eyes red.
"Huh?"
However, the rate of infection by the gastrovirus increased under the effect of the healing magic.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Upon seeing this, Rentaro Satomi quickly called out.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
Aqua was startled by the mortal boy's roar and immediately shrank behind Broly before peeking out from behind him. She was always able to sense the atmosphere, and Aqua felt that she must have done something wrong, but she stubbornly argued back.
Less than ten minutes after being transported to the Black Bullet world, Aqua's goddess-like status was almost gone; she truly lives up to her title as the goddess of wisdom.
