Chapter 346 Union
The City of the Dead...what will become of it?
Even in his dreams, Yiyin kept pondering this question. Undoubtedly, the City of the Dead needed to be governed. If "He" lost his mind, then Kabutani Sakuya would be the only one who could inherit the throne.
But Kabutani Sakuya said that while she might be able to grant all the dead souls an equal "death," she couldn't bring them peace. In the end, she would have to do it herself...
But can I do it?
Yiyin had no doubts about this. In the past, he had worked hand in hand with the Green-haired Turtle to defeat countless enemies. He believed that as long as he maintained a friendly relationship with the Green-haired Turtle, nothing could stop him.
Not even the dead.
.
At some point, Kabutani Sakuya returned with Xuanwu, but without Kazamatsuri Mikuni.
After a short rest, Baihu also tried her best to cheer up. She was very nervous, but she had to stay like this until she left the City of the Dead.
The moment she saw Kazamatsuri Mikan's hat, she knew something.
"I don't really want to say this... but the situation is obviously very bad."
Sakuya Kabutani was under immense pressure. The scarcity of monsters in the City of the Dead had somewhat prevented any riots from happening, but this, in turn, made it difficult to respond to emergencies.
She had to rely on the three monster masters in front of her to prevent the City of the Undead from being destroyed by others.
Yi Yin rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have foreseen this situation in his dream.
"I need your help."
Kabutani Sakuya said sincerely, "My Lord's consciousness has been infected, and there is no possibility of recovery. Yet, He still desperately combined Himself with a traveler from another world, tainting His bloodline and thus making Himself vulnerable to defeat."
"Does this have to be done?"
Iin asked, "Sakuya, that ancestral monster... you want us to help you kill it? Even if it's possible, what will the souls of the City of the Dead think? Also, according to what you said, he has become one with Fengjie, which means..."
"If possible, I don't want to trouble you all to do anything. Really."
Kabutani Sakuya sighed.
"At this point, I don't intend to hold anything back. I will do my best to show my sincerity and use it as a bargaining chip for our cooperation."
Then, Sakuya Kabutani began to reveal her identity. Just as Truman had said before, she was indeed the ferryman connecting the City of the Dead and the living world.
"We guide the world and bring them home. Our Song and Dance Valley family, blessed by 'Our Lord,' has long silently served the City of the Dead. We are not ghosts, nor are we 'alive' in the traditional sense. We are more like beings crafted by 'Our Lord,' traversing the City of the Dead to carry out His will. In other words, we serve as a safeguard to protect the City of the Dead should He lose control."
"Like Beavis to Hevelius."
Yi Yin thought to himself, "It seems that the City of the Dead and Alderaan have many similarities. Perhaps, just like Palkia is in Alderaan, Dialga is in the City of the Dead?"
As if to verify Iin's thoughts, Kabutani Sakuya continued:
"There's one more thing I must confess to you all. I can briefly stop time, for about half a second. This isn't a bone dragon ability, and no one in our family has ever possessed it. It's more like a superpower unique to me."
"Could it be that in the City of the Undead, besides the fifth elemental ancestor monster, there are other high-level monsters?" Yi Yin asked tentatively.
"Indeed," Kabutani Sakuya laughed. "Everything in the City of the Dead seems to be in opposition to the real world, as evidenced by the timing. In fact, when 'My Lord' opened up the City of the Dead, another dragon also made an immortal contribution."
"Is that your monster, Sakuya, the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon?" Yiyin asked.
"Not at all."
Recalling the past, an indescribable look appeared on Sakuya Kabutani's face.
"As for my monster... Actually, it was also a fabrication. From the dragon's corpse, 'My Lord' endowed it with some of his own abilities, integrating them and reincarnating it into the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon."
"So what was its original name...?" Yiyin asked cautiously.
"It is Dialga, the Dragon of Time."
Hearing this, Yiyin felt a "boom" in his heart, as if the sky was about to fall.
He had promised Palkia to say hello on Dialga's behalf, but now it seems impossible.
"When I inherited the Bone Dragon and established a spiritual connection with it, I suddenly awakened this ability. I think it must be because my blood is highly compatible with the Bone Dragon."
Kabutani Sakuya continued, "To this day, the exact relationship between Dialga and Our Lord is no longer known. But one thing is certain: if Dialga were still alive today, he would have suffered the same fate as Our Lord."
"What does this mean?" Yi Yin didn't quite understand.
"You should also know this. Humans use the Chaos Tree to pray to the Monster Planet for Monster Fruit, hatching monsters to bolster their own combat power. But in reality, the monsters also need humans. Due to the unavoidable environmental effects on the Monster Planet, monsters will inevitably go mad after surviving for a certain period of time."
"Establishing a spiritual connection with humans can, to a certain extent, slow down, or even completely curb, the onset of madness. This bond firmly ties the Monster Master and the monster together."
"I don't think so, Sakuya. In fact, I just met a familiar ghost not long ago. He was killed because he secretly modified his monster."
“…I don’t want to say anything more about this.”
Kabutani Sakuya cleared her throat. "There's only one crucial point. The Bone Dragon's power essentially derives from the Lord. Therefore, it can never stand against the Lord. I've said this before, and I'm serious. That's why I beg you all to help me defeat Him."
"What do you think?"
At this time, Yiyin thought of Baihu and Xuanwu, and wanted to hear their opinions.
However, the two girls said nothing and just stared at Kabutani Sakuya with a rather resentful look.
Only then did Iin realize how sentimental women are. They must have been stunned by the sight of Kazamatsuri Mikan's hat.
This is a rather cruel fact - no matter which side wins, they or He, Kazematsu Mikan cannot go back, she is destined to stay in the City of the Dead forever.
