"have no idea."
"?"
"In the information provided by [Sophon], there is no specific location of [King Jinruo], and it is impossible to determine whether that guy is within the [King City]."
An Mitsuha replied.
"You can't figure it out, or you don't want to tell us..."
Natsume sneered.
Not too much frustration either.
He and [Tomoko], to put it nicely, have a cooperative relationship.
To put it mildly, it is a relationship of mutual use.
Moreover.
In this critical situation.
If you are not afraid of being used, you are afraid of not being of use value.
…
at this time.
In the distance, the defensive barrier of the Duke's castle was also breached by three alien demigods.
That [Duke Otsutsuki Yasaka Night] was forced to accept the challenge.
He has mastered the coffin magic, and is one of the better ones among the demigods in terms of offensive and defensive abilities.
pity.
Naturally, he cannot defeat three alien demigods on his own.
Just a moment.
More than half of the Duke's castle, which was comparable in size to several ninja villages, was wiped out.
A large number of Otsutsuki's direct descendants of the branch families of the Night Line died, resulting in heavy losses.
but.
quickly.
As several [Yellow Springs Hirazaka] portals opened in the distance.
Three streams of light rushed out instantly and quickly joined the battlefield.
There is no doubt that those are the [Grand Duke Juzayaya] and the two group commanders of the royal family who came to the rescue.
With the addition of these three demigods.
The situation reversed instantly, and the three alien demigods sent by the council were suppressed.
"The royal family has fallen into a trap?"
"should be."
"This is a naked conspiracy. The royal family cannot stand idly by. Giving up support means giving up the entire branch and handing it over to the [Parliament] side..."
With Japanese memories, Natsume is also very aware of the conflict between the [Parliament] and the [Royal Family].
Let’s start with Otsutsuki Genshiki’s trump card that he doesn’t hesitate to expose Kyoshiki.
The royal family had no other choice.
Unless they are willing to give up the entire separation...
An Mitsuha: "Then shall we set off?"
Natsume hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the [King City] to explore.
"Walk!"
Finished.
The two immediately set off and disappeared.
Prepare to pass through the secret passage between [Dragon Palace City] and [Ancestral Vessel] again and sneak into the [King City].
As for the battle on the Separation Continent and the Duke's Castle, there is no need to participate.
Natsume wished that this side could delay some of the royal family's cutting-edge combat power.
It is more conducive to the infiltration of himself and An Mitsuha.
…
The infiltration process went smoothly.
Most of the royal family's attention is indeed attracted by the branch family.
Moreover, for [Shenwao King], after obtaining the remnant soul of [Otsutsuki Ryushiki], the entire [Ryuugong Castle] is no longer of use value.
Naturally, I won’t pay too much attention to it.
It also gave Natsume and the others an opportunity to take advantage of.
at the same time.
[Tomoko] The reserved method really worked.
After entering the [Ancestral Vessel], the auras of Natsume and Anomi Tsuha were indeed blocked.
As a result, they were not exposed.
Moreover, Natsume also really felt that the activity in the ancestor's blood vessels was far higher than before.
Even those 'chakra torrent blood' seemed to come alive.
Not only can it flow in a directional manner, it can also automatically swallow impurities in the blood.
It can be clearly felt.
This unimaginably huge [Ancestor Divine Body] is already on the verge of recovery...
Natsume didn't know what [Kyoshi] had done over there and how long it would take.
even.
I still have to pray for the other party to successfully resurrect the [Otsutsuki Ancestor True God].
Only in this way can you completely eliminate threats to your system.
…
It didn't take long.
Natsume and Anmi Tsuha used this secret passage to sneak into the [King City] again.
And this time after entering the royal city.
Natsume immediately noticed something unusual.
The whole royal city is so quiet!
There was no sound or breath of life at all...
You know, tens of millions of members of the Otsutsuki family originally lived here.
And at this moment.
Perceive the past.
There was no one in the entire outer city.
This is so bizarre!
There is only one possibility: that is, the entire royal family evacuates everyone in the [King City] in advance.
They were transferred to a different space or other places...
Could it be.
Had they anticipated the civil war?
Do you know that the war will spread to the [King City]?
However, who can break into the royal city even though it is protected by the barrier of the artifact [Godly Nest Sun]?
In a simulated world.
The entire parliament, plus the five [Tower Eyes], fought for so long but failed to capture the [King City].
unless……
Is this a trap?
Or is the royal family ready to unlock the enchantment of the artifact?
Natsume couldn't tell the truth.
The more critical this moment is, the more cautious you should be.
[True Future Vision] Activate!
Natsume used the power of time magic and began to peer into the future and collect intelligence.
only.
He is just a clone now, without the support of the huge chakra of the main body, and the peeping effect of [Future Sight] has also been weakened a lot.
It is even more impossible to try multiple times in a row.
…
After a while.
Natsume opened her eyes and gave the information.
"Almost all the Otsutsuki in the royal castle and palace have disappeared."
"It seems that it has been moved away long ago..."
"The artifact barrier isolates the perception of the outside world. I'm afraid the [Parliament] doesn't know this yet."
"In addition, within the [Royal Palace], near the [Central Hall] that I blew up last time, there are still three royal demigods guarding them."
"There is interference from the artifact [Pillar of Control] there, and my law of time cannot peek into it..."
as the ultimate goal of this trip.
In 'Peering into the Future', Natsume naturally rushed to the [Central Hall] to check.
only.
The power of the artifact interfered with his magic of laws, making it impossible for Natsume to find out what was going on inside the [Central Hall].
An Mijinyu immediately understood: "This is not normal!"
"Yes."
"[The Imperial Pillar] is of high value, but it is definitely not as important as the [Ancestral Shrine], and it has an almost absolute suppressive effect on its own, so it does not require the protection of three demigods at all..."
"unless……"
"Unless there is something very important in the hall that deserves the protection of the three demigods!"
Natsume and Anomi Tsuha looked at each other, both knowing the answer.
Nine times out of ten.
The one they were guarding was the [Zhenruo King].
"etc……"
"No, something's wrong!" Natsume said in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"If I were [Zhenruo King], and I was breaking through the true god in the [Central Hall]. At such a critical moment, I shouldn't only send three royal demigods to protect me!"
"Even in order to protect other Otsutsuki in the city, they were all moved in advance."
"Then why not mobilize one or two elite royal armies to guard here?"
"With an entire army and tens of millions of false gods working together, a wave of concentrated fire can even kill a demigod!"
"Isn't this safer than leaving only three demigods to guard you?"
An Mitsuha: "You mean, that's a trap?"
Natsume: "I can't rule out this possibility..."
"never mind."
"There's no need to take risks, let's go back."
"Is this a trap? Let Otsutsuki of the Council step on it."
Natsume dissuaded.
If that was really a trap, the danger in it would definitely be enough to easily kill a demigod, which would be worthy of the battle set up by the royal family.
If that is not a trap, it means that [Zhenruo King] is really in the hall; in front of the other party, it is even more impossible to seize the artifact.
Either way, it is impossible to succeed.
From Natsume's point of view, there is no need to take risks.
but.
An Mijinyu is still stubborn and has no intention of giving up.
"If it's a trap, there may not be a chance to seize the artifact..."
Natsume:"……"
