Chapter 1541: Where is Tsuru's Path?
"This is..."
"Hoo—, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so comfortable."
"Yeah, my irritable mood has become calm."
Inside the military camp, which covers an area of over five thousand square kilometers.
Everyone who was swept by the circles of Raphaela's Holy Light ripples suddenly spreading from the Divine Tree, emitted varying amounts of black energy from their bodies.
This included some basic soldiers of the Fourth Main Battle Legion.
The more black energy they emitted, the more obvious the effect and the greater their reaction.
They only felt their minds become clearer, their bodies lighter, and their moods calmer.
Actually, in the past few days.
Everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the military had become somewhat abnormal.
Whether it was themselves or others, their tempers had become irritable, and their gazes had gradually turned cold.
This led to frequent arguments and even fights among them.
They only felt pleasure when firing at the Demons on the battlefield.
And when they saw the gruesome sight of their fallen comrades' mangled bodies, a twisted sense of excitement arose in their hearts.
Some people noticed that something was wrong with this situation but didn't dare to speak out.
Later, they heard that some people in other troops had turned into Demons and killed many of their comrades.
They were then exterminated by the arriving Moon Lion Unit warriors of the Fourth Main Battle Legion.
This made them even more afraid to reveal their own abnormalities.
It wasn't until the order came from above that troops who had lived in this Netherworld for more than seven days were to return to the Ninja World for rest and recuperation in sequence, that their tightly strung nerves finally relaxed slightly.
It must be said, living in this world of Demons indeed puts a lot of pressure on humans.
The negative energy in the air is simply too dense!
Anyone with a Spirit Eye could see the large amount of black smoke permeating the surroundings with just a glance.
This was already the concentration after the Divine Tree had dispersed some of it with sunlight.
In places where the sunlight couldn't reach.
The negative energy alone was enough to make it impossible to see your hand in front of your face.
Star Realm soldiers would go mad if they stayed in there for a day.
On the second day, traces of demonization would appear on their bodies.
On the third day, they would completely turn into the lowest-ranked monsters.
One must know that this Netherworld is the convergence point of all negative emotions, desire, and energy in the cosmic star zone it belongs to.
It's the universe's great trash can, and Demons are the maggots that breed within it!
Now, Aramaki's Sunlight Divine Tree and Teresa's Raphaela's Holy Light are combined.
They are forcefully clearing out a small corner within this great trash can.
Purifying the bodies and spirits of everyone within the purification range who have been subjected to a certain degree of pollution.
But... this only includes people whose bodies have not yet begun demonization.
For those soldiers whose bodies have already undergone demonization.
This seemingly warm and gentle brilliant radiance, when shining on their bodies, feels like flames burning them, causing them unbearable suffering, making them wish for death.
No, it should be even more intense than being burned alive.
Because this is a double torment on both the soul and the body.
After all, only when the soul is sufficiently severely eroded will it affect the body and cause substantial changes.
What made them feel the most despair was the World Government's attitude and method of handling the situation.
The Command Department, at the requirement of the Academy of Science, ordered Aramaki's Fourth Main Battle Legion to try their best to capture alive these demonized Star Realm soldiers.
Then escort them to the Sea Star mainland and hand them over to Cipher Pol.
Finally, they would be locked up in Impel Down to await further processing by the Biochemical Research Institute.
It was very cruel.
Therefore, Clare and the other three directly using Holy Light to exterminate the demonized soldiers was actually a very merciful treatment for them.
"There are trees, grass, and light here, but no water. Let me also contribute."
When Teresa, in her Eight-Winged Angel form, returned to the top of the tree canopy.
Under the gaze of Aramaki, Hamura, and others, Tsuru smiled and took a step forward.
However, she didn't need to specifically fly down.
She simply channeled the awakened power of the Wash-Wash Fruit into the Divine Tree beneath her through her feet.
This made the scene appear less spectacular; only some colorful bubbles emerged from her body.
"You are..."
Teresa, having returned to her black hair and black eyes appearance, asked curiously.
"The effect is very simple. This tree will henceforth be accompanied by a rain shower every three days following the sunlight."
"If this rainwater touches a person, it will automatically wash away the dirt on their clothing and body, as well as mental fatigue."
"And if it touches the ground, it will nourish the flowers, grass, and trees. Of course, for those Demons, it will probably be like sulfur..."
Tsuru said the last terrifying words with a gentle smile on her face.
Hearing this, Otsutsuki Hamura inwardly complained, they really are a pair of teacher and student.
The student's Holy Light burns Demons, and the teacher's rainwater will corrode Demons...
He suddenly hoped to keep these two.
Although their strength wasn't very strong, their abilities were indeed a counter to Demons.
And they both seemed very skilled at large-scale attacks.
Coupled with Admiral Cracker.
They should be enough to block the overwhelming Demon Army before the 'Amaterasu Underworld' operation plan is completed.
Otsutsuki Hamura immediately told Teresa and Tsuru his idea.
He felt that since they were all fighting against Demons, there shouldn't be any problem.
Unexpectedly, Teresa shook her head and refused after listening: "Sorry, my husband told me before he came that I should try not to stay here, so we will be leaving soon."
Otsutsuki Hamura was helpless: "Is that so... Since it is Lord Imu's meaning, of course, we must obey."
Immediately, Teresa and the others returned to the Queen's Ship, preparing to leave Netherworld Layer 1 as soon as Clare and the other four returned.
Aramaki took out a Den Den Mushi and notified Vice Admiral Vazov of the Star Realm Fourth Army Group and Vice Admiral Frangel of the Star Realm Sixth Army Group that they no longer needed to rotate their troops for rest.
Instead, they should have the troops who just returned to the Ninja World come back as soon as possible to receive the baptism and purification of the Divine Tree's Holy Light.
Although the process was somewhat troublesome, it was unavoidable.
After all, no one expected that the problem of demonization would be solved less than a day after the situation was reported.
Fortunately, the result was good, and it could be considered a permanent solution.
At the same time.
Teresa and Tsuru were also in communication inside the Queen's Ship.
The content of their conversation was what Otsutsuki Hamura had said.
"Teacher Tsuru, our abilities are indeed very suitable for dealing with the Demons here. Do you think we should mention it to my husband?"
Teresa asked with some hesitation, but Tsuru gently shook her head: "Lord Imu will not agree to you staying here."
"Is it because I am needed to purify that Demon Heart?"
Teresa answered her own question.
"That's right. For Lord Imu, that Beelzebub's Heart is the utmost priority, and it is your biggest mission right now."
"Moreover, this place is actually very dangerous. According to Lord Imu, there are still eight Supreme Demons in the Netherworld right now, each one an existence comparable to a Martial God Star God."
"Once they discover that the Holy Light you control has a very strong counter effect against Demons, it will definitely trigger unpredictable reactions, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Tsuru patiently advised Teresa not to be impatient with a long explanation.
Teresa's eyes flickered with unwillingness: "Is it still because my strength is insufficient..."
Don't let her constant smile and seemingly gentle personality fool you, her inner heart is actually very strong.
She belongs to the type who can choose not to use strength, but cannot be without strength.
"You could say that, but there's no need to dwell on it too much. After all, neither of us needs to be on the frontline..."
Teresa looked directly into Tsuru's eyes and said softly: "Teacher, your gaze tells me that you yourself don't agree with that statement."
Tsuru pursed her lips, speechless, because she was also a very strong woman.
Back then, she, Garp, and Sengoku charged towards the enemy through a hail of bullets, holding rifles.
She didn't retreat half a step just because she was a woman!
Finally, Tsuru let out a long sigh: "Ah, but what can I do? I can't see the path to becoming stronger right now..."
Teresa smiled: "We can research together, there will always be a method. If worst comes to worst, I can ask my husband for you?"
Should I ask my husband if learning magic is better, or should I let her learn Holy Light?
