Chapter 567: The Severed Sword of Damocles
In the living room of Kazumi’s house, Kazumi sat calmly on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the documents on the coffee table. Only Sherry had time to tidy up the sofa and chair beside her.
The flower vase indicated that the previous guest had already departed. The combination of their abilities and the Ghost Lantern was successful. The Ghost Lantern sent by Kazumi belonged to the space-type ability, the same as the banished power, but with a completely different focus.
The [Kimokado] was opened within Kazumi’s ability range, creating a connecting space-time tunnel. Once the inevitable and capricious death descended, a non-lethal ability would appear in the line of sight, a spatial tunnel within the field of vision.
Sherry’s power complemented the shortcomings of [Kimokado]’s cross-dimensional entry. Because [Ghost Lantern] was a teleportation-like ability with little restriction on distance and obstacles, Kazumi’s spatial connection ability couldn’t compare.
Regarding where the space was truly opened simultaneously, Sherry had already received the news long ago, but at that time, her ability wasn’t as strong as Kazumi’s, so she didn’t want Sherry to interfere.
Kazumi and Sherry sat on the sofa. The reason they were discussing in this hall was to disperse the allies’ combat power, or was Sherry’s true purpose to cover for Other People? The information Sherry had “sampled” long ago couldn’t be logged onto the public network, so no one could get any news related to Sherry’s [Mekado].
The girl’s right hand gently pressed the places depicted on the documents by Sherry, five in total. This proved that the administrative actions Sherry intended to carry out would take place simultaneously in at least these five locations, which was Sherry’s true objective left for Kazumi.
Sherry said while Kazumi was looking at these documents that Sherry’s organized members had a great advantage in this aspect. From Sherry’s perspective, if they could rescue the [Raptors] and combine it with Sherry’s [Gate], some of Sherry’s organization’s executives would not dare to rashly undertake the mission given by Sherry.
The mission was to disperse the allies’ combat power. By doing so, Sherry had helped Kazumi eliminate several relatively unimportant combat forces.
Sherry’s [Mekado] and [Racoon’s] horizontal and vertical connections, she still needed to expend some effort and combat power. Among them, if any single person possessed overwhelming combat power on the level of a battle line, Sherry feared that all the others combined wouldn’t stand a chance.
[Mekado]’s lack of choice meant Kazumi’s choice had other options.
Walking to this point, Kazumi and Sherry, having gone through such a long detour, had doubts in Kazumi’s heart.
“Looking at the current situation, Sherry’s [White Dove]’s mission, even with these risks, and the other missions at these locations have also failed.”
“Sherry is right. Even if Sherry intended to disperse the allies’ combat power, the failure of Sherry’s [White Dove] mission would keep him in a sealed state. The longer Sherry’s power condenses, the more Sherry’s power grows, and the threat to Sherry’s deciphering array will decrease.”
Kazumi’s brain processed and analyzed the information at lightning speed. Every word Sherry spoke revealed such undeniable news to her. Sherry was also an intelligent girl. Sherry herself didn’t know how much power she had. Sherry didn’t say it at this moment, Sherry’s companionship had already obstructed more than half of Kazumi’s scheme.
“Hu— The pressure is not as great now, and there is enough buffer space.”
Kazumi picked up the coffee beside her and took a sip. She didn’t pay much attention to the calm pressure of Sherry’s death. Sherry’s mind wasn’t that careless.
“Of course, we cannot completely place our hope on this aspect. The allies previously managed the mission, and Sherry’s [Gate] was the guard. Sherry also had to rely on [Ghost Lantern] to carry out these missions. If we handled everything ourselves, it wouldn’t be so troublesome. If the content said is not different, then the significance of Sherry, this key person, is meaningless.”
Kazumi’s current problem was that Kazumi’s [Ghost Lantern] was not within Sherry’s [Kimokado]. Sherry was drawn into this direction because Kazumi’s [Ghost Lantern] and Sherry’s [Kimokado] had no connection whatsoever.
Even for Sherry, Kazumi’s [Ghost Lantern] was a new discovery.
“Doesn’t this mean we can only rely on constantly discovering the [Ghost Lantern]?”
“Yes, Sherry’s [Kimokado] can accommodate at most eleven [Ghost Lanterns]. For Sherry, powerful [Ghost Lanterns] like Kazumi’s [Mekado] are still in [White Dove], and this is also something Sherry doesn’t want to see, which is the true [Ghost Lantern].”
“Then what’s the point of only one person left?”
“Sherry’s [Kimokado]’s power is also limited. Sherry’s objective is only to prevent the [Raptors]’ mission from failing.”
“Then we can only watch as it keeps being discovered.”
“And that is Sherry’s [Raptors]. Sherry’s [Mekado]’s mission is also just to activate the [Ghost Lantern] mission.”
“If that’s the case, then it means letting Sherry’s [Raptors] and Sherry’s [Mekado] come together within Sherry’s [Kimokado]. Then Sherry can see the true strength of Sherry’s [White Dove].”
Kazumi’s heart wavered slightly. Sherry’s [Mekado] also made Kazumi’s heart waver. Kazumi’s rationality also triumphed over this impulse at this moment.
“With your current [Kimokado]’s ability, continuously activating [Ghost Lantern] can only ensure that Sherry’s [Raptors]’ mission does not fail, and this is also the purpose of Sherry’s [White Dove].”
“Yes, Sherry’s [Kimokado]’s ability is also limited, and this is the meaning of Sherry’s [White Dove].”
Kazumi looked at Sherry, Sherry’s eyes full of pleading. She also knew the meaning of Sherry’s [Mekado] to her, and this was the only place that made Sherry’s heart waver.
Kazumi’s mind raced. At this moment, a bold idea appeared in her mind.
“Sherry’s [Mekado] is Sherry’s [Ghost Lantern], and Sherry’s [White Dove]’s mission is only to help Sherry’s [Mekado], which Sherry’s [Kimokado] cannot do.”
Kazumi’s mind completely sank at this moment. She had made up her mind; she wanted to help Sherry’s [Mekado].
