Chapter 462 The Serpent Vessel = The Root of Demons
Unlike the 1V1 round-robin elimination matches in the main tournament, the six players almost instinctively sought out opponents who matched with them at the same time.

Before he could even catch his breath, Goro Daimon went straight into the face of the most burly man on the other side, Yashiro Nanakase.

Benimaru Nikaido, who enjoys being surrounded and fawned over by beautiful women, rushed toward Shermie, who had covered her eyes, with a gleam in his eyes.

Captain Kyo Kusanagi then threw his fist at Chris, who was the shortest but had an inexplicably sinister aura.

Meanwhile, Cheng Tian, ​​who was watching the numbers for Kagura Chizuru's blood material slowly but steadily rise, suddenly had a strange idea.

If a body were cloned using Chizuru Kagura's blood, could Manki Kagura be resurrected in that body?
It has to be said that this possibility is indeed quite high.

Especially after Shadow's intrusion, which brought to light Vega, a true master of mental power capable of possessing other people's bodies, the possibility of this soul possession and rebirth became increasingly plausible.

If we can find a way to subdue Vega in Oni no Gage and get him to hand over the element of soul possession, the chances of success will increase even further.

Of course, Cheng Tian's interest in this is one thing, but whether Kagura Manki is willing to use her younger sister's body to revive is another matter entirely.

This thing is really ethically provocative, and most people really can't accept it.

However, souls have their own unique ways of communicating. With the help of the Stand world, Cheng Tian can also make some highly efficient soul-to-soul communication.

And so, without a word, the world began to hammer and chisel at Kagura Maki.

The moment their foreheads touched, a vast amount of information, originating from Cheng Tian and mediated by the world, rapidly flowed into Kagura Maki's mind.

In just a moment, everything about the previous match, the current state of the Orochi Eight Generals, and Orochi's resurrection—a series of information far beyond what Kagura Manki should know—was transmitted to the depths of Kagura Manki's soul through the soul-touching touch of this hammer.

Similarly, Kagura Manki finally learned the true form of the world, Cheng Tian.

Cheng Tian's mind was buzzing, as if he had continuously released time stop. It seemed that this kind of soul-level information transmission would also cause some mental strain, so it couldn't be used too often.

As information was rapidly transmitted and understood, Kagura Maki's instinctive fear of facing a natural enemy dissipated at lightning speed, leaving only gratitude in her eyes, and... an awkward feeling of wanting to be angry but not being able to muster the anger.

Oh no! It seems I've shared information about cloning too!

Cheng Tian immediately started sweating.

Using unfamiliar abilities can lead to this: your thoughts can be easily shared.

Objectively speaking, cloning is a violation of human ethics, not to mention that Cheng Tian wanted to use Kagura Manki's clone to give Kagura Manki a new life. If they were to switch places, he would probably be even more conflicted than Kagura Manki herself.

Kagura Maki's anger wasn't that Cheng Tian was actually involved in human cloning, but that he was already trying to clone his own sister.

But the reason why it's hard to be angry is that Cheng Tian's original intention in cloning Qianhe was truly to resurrect himself.

Kagura Maki wanted to refuse righteously, but the thought swirled in her mind, and in the end she couldn't bring herself to say "don't do it" decisively and clearly.

As expected, I still can't accept dying so casually...

Under Cheng Tian's gaze, Kagura Maki, who tragically died at the young age of 21, her expression shifted to self-mockery. Meanwhile, the life-or-death battle between Team Neon and Hell Band was in full swing, with the main arena's large screen split into three, simultaneously displaying three sets of battle footage.

Since the venue was the core area of ​​the Kagura Foundation headquarters, it was difficult for outsiders and even guards to get close. Therefore, Iori Yagami, Cheng Tian, ​​Kagura Manki, and the paparazzi Wen, who was difficult for others to spot, became the few audience members present.

Iori Yagami looked at the world descending from the sky with the Yata no Kagami, and his eyes were indeed somewhat surprised. Although he instinctively felt that he should not let outsiders hold precious divine artifacts at will, the other party had obviously saved the Kagami from danger, and did not seem to want to take it for himself, so he was too lazy to say anything.

In any case, as long as Kagura Chizuru awakens and undergoes a slight bloodline resonance, no matter where the artifact is, it will be immediately and forcibly recalled to the guardian's side. As the artifact's wielder himself, he is well aware of this.

But soon, he glanced at Iori Yagami beside him and his eyes narrowed, because like Kyo Kusanagi, he saw the familiar figure that should have fallen.

"Is it a mirror image of Chizuru Kagura?"

Iori Yagami spoke as if to himself, but the next second, his body paused slightly.

Because that familiar figure shook his head at him, and then a familiar voice rang directly in his mind.

"Hello, heir of the Yagami family."

"...Are you Chizuru Kagura's deceased older sister?"

After a brief pause, Yagami asked with a look of surprise but also certainty.

Kagura Manki nodded.

Although he had never actually met Kagura Maki and had no connection with her, Iori Yagami instinctively managed to distinguish her from Chizuru based on their demeanor.

In fact, the friendship between Iori Yagami and Chizuru Kagura was built on their fighting side by side last year and the camaraderie that developed after they received medical treatment from the Kagura Foundation.

As a mediator between the Yagami and Kusanagi families, Kagura has done enough. Although she doesn't say it, she has long since gained Yagami's approval. Due to their personal relationship, Yagami was surprised by Kagura's preservation of Maki's soul, but he quickly accepted the fact.

The Yata Mirror can even seal away a giant serpent, so temporarily preserving a soul is naturally no problem for it.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll make this short."

Kagura Maki wasted no time and selectively began to instill more information about the Heavenly Gods into Iori Yagami.

The artifact activated its self-defense function by sensing the power of the giant serpent, and its current ability to manifest is entirely due to Cheng Tian's power supply, drawing upon the souls of innocents collected from defeating and killing the intruders.

Cheng Tian, ​​on the other hand, was staring blankly at the six-person group locked in combat.

More accurately, he was looking at the Serpent Vessel Chris.

For some reason, Cheng Tian could sense a very familiar malice emanating from Chris, as if...

Just like the demonic source born from the divine artifact Black Pearl, which absorbs human malice!
