**Chapter 1491: Teresa's Teacher, Tsuru!**
【Rumble——————】
Im in the study suddenly heard a huge rumble from outside.
At the same time, he felt intense energy fluctuations coming from a distance.
That was the direction of Teresa's Empress Palace!
Im turned his head in astonishment to look.
On the other side.
Inside the magnificent Empress Palace.
Facing the radiance, energy, and impact that suddenly erupted from Teresa.
Ubuyashiki Hinaki, who had always been well-behaved, quickly flipped her right hand and instantly conjured a card with the 'Wisteria Family Crest' printed on its back.
【Swish!】
The card was thrown through the air.
The moment it came into contact with the incoming golden energy.
It immediately transformed into a cluster of purple starlight, and at the same time, surging water waves gushed out of thin air, forming a thick, curved water wall, protecting Ubuyashiki Hinaki and the Merfolk maids behind her.
This was a card she had personally drawn with her Brush-Brush Fruit ability on paper manufactured by her 'second sister' Nichika using her Book-Book Fruit ability.
The only drawback was that the card would disappear after each use.
Fortunately, Nichika could replicate identical pages by copying books.
She just needed to tear them off when needed and give them to her, saving her the trouble of drawing on the spot temporarily.
However, Ubuyashiki Hinaki also didn't expect this newly arrived Heavenly Empress to encounter such an unexpected situation right after taking her first bite of the Devil Fruit.
She only hoped nothing bad would happen.
Meanwhile.
Outside the water wall, Teresa, with her eyes tightly closed, transformed back into Raphaela's Angel form.
She seemed completely unaware that she was releasing radiance and energy outwards.
It even formed a light pillar that pierced the ceiling and soared into the sky, alarming everyone and all the animals on Noah's Ark.
This was because Teresa was currently communicating with the 'Beast Soul' within her body, which was the consciousness of another Angel.
This communication was not through language, but through consciousness, spirit, and thought.
Gradually, the two consciousnesses merged into one deep within her inner heart.
This also caused new wings to begin growing from Teresa's back in the outside world.
First, a pair completed their transformation, shimmering with golden radiance and spreading outwards.
Then, another pair of pure white wings appeared.
At the same time, a mysterious strength was generated, causing her body to float into mid-air.
Her entire being bathed in the sacred light pillar, transforming into an eight-winged Archangel!
According to the early medieval Middle Eastern scholar Dionysius's "Celestial Hierarchy".
An Angel with four pairs of wings is a Thrones Angel of the Sacred Rank.
Although it was the lowest level of Sacred Angel, it was still a true High-Rank Angel!
Normally.
Eating the Angel Fruit would result in one pair of wings growing.
Although there were no awakening records, it could be inferred that after awakening, a second pair of wings should grow.
But the Raphaela form already had two pairs, making a total of four pairs.
Im had thought that the Angel Fruit and Teresa had very good compatibility.
But he didn't expect it to be this good.
Upon eating it, she immediately gained the recognition of the 'Beast Soul' and obtained the strength and form of awakening on the spot.
However, this was a good thing.
It should shorten the time needed to purify Beelzebub's heart.
Thinking of this, Im immediately took out the heart and used his space ability to teleport it beside Teresa.
The moment the demon heart appeared, Teresa's silver-white eyes snapped open.
She immediately understood Lord Imu's intentions, and instantly raised her right hand, pointing at the heart, and shot out a golden light beam.
The scarlet, enormous demon heart seemed to sense danger and once again released vast magic power to resist the light beam's purification.
【Boom!!!】
The two energies with completely opposing attributes collided violently.
The light in the entire Empress Palace split into two.
One side was darkness, evil, with gusts of eerie wind, while the other side was light, justice, comfortable and warm.
Ubuyashiki Hinaki and the others, as the third party, suddenly vanished without a trace.
They were inexplicably reappeared outside the Empress Palace.
Ubuyashiki Hinaki was stunned for a moment.
After regaining her reaction, she quickly bowed and lowered her head in a certain direction: "Thank Lord Imu for your grace, this concubine is eternally grateful!"
Seeing this, the Merfolk maids behind her, who had a ring of bubbles around their waists, all followed suit and spoke in unison.
"Thank Lord Imu for your grace, this concubine is eternally grateful!"
Unfortunately, Im did not pay attention to them.
His line of sight remained focused on Teresa and Beelzebub's heart.
As expected.
Compared to before, the efficiency of the heart's magic power being purified this time was visibly improved significantly.
Teresa's persistence time was also longer.
It lasted for nearly an hour before she stopped and landed back on the ground.
At the same time, she recovered her normal appearance with black hair and black eyes.
And Beelzebub's heart was once again retrieved by Im from a distance.
Otherwise, with the darkness and evil in its magic power, leaving it there for a long time would definitely affect the minds of the surrounding creatures.
Teresa might not be afraid, but the others around her might not be.
"It seems you lack control precision over your strength. Im will find a teacher to instruct you."
Teresa's ears, no, it should be in her mind, Im's voice suddenly sounded.
This was because Im noticed that during the previous collision, some of her energy was leaking outwards.
It ultimately dissipated into the air, causing a serious, meaningless waste.
This kind of situation was something he was all too familiar with.
Many people experienced this when using Flying Slash Attack or Armament Haki.
To put it simply, their control ability was insufficient.
This required practice and learning, preferably with a professional teacher.
Actually, this wasn't Teresa's fault.
She had only obtained Raphaela's divine power for seven years, and she had just eaten the Angel Fruit.
Furthermore, Beelzebub's heart was indeed powerful.
Calling the magic power of a top Supreme Demon as vast as smoke and sea was no exaggeration.
If it were fully released, it could probably envelop a city with a population of tens of millions, completely corrupting all the creatures within into irrational mad monsters.
Before awakening, for Teresa to completely purify it, it would indeed require consuming several years of time to slowly wear it down, just as she had calculated herself.
So, who should be her teacher to improve her control over energy and her understanding of purification?
Im in the study thought for a moment, not even needing a Den Den Mushi, and directly sent a message to Stussy outside.
"Notify Minister Tsuru of the Staff Department to come and teach Teresa for at least one day each week!"
After speaking, Im continued to review the World Government's various situations.
Although Tsuru's strength was not as great as Sengoku or Zephyr.
Teaching Teresa, who was like a power upstart with only empty power, was definitely more than enough.
Moreover, he hoped Teresa could gain more insights related to purification from Tsuru's Wash-Wash Fruit ability.
And incidentally, have Tsuru come and try Beelzebub's heart.
A moment later.
On the Sea Star mainland side, Tsuru, who was working in the Minister's Office of the Staff Department, suddenly received a phone call from her direct superior, Saint Nasujuro.
"What?"
"Lord Imu wants me to go give lessons to the Heavenly Empress?!" Tsuru was greatly surprised.
"That's right, at least one day per week."
The Den Den Mushi mimicking Saint Nasujuro emphasized the words 'at least'.
Tsuru understood instantly.
This was a reminder to seize the opportunity and not actually just go for one day.
This made Tsuru hesitate a bit, as she also had a lot of work.
So, she decided to go and see the situation first.
"Teresa Claymore World"
Ending the call, Tsuru immediately opened her Star Den Den Mushi.
She searched for information related to Teresa on the internal military network.
She only hoped that her Heavenly Empress student would be an easy person to get along with.
