Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

“Irisviel——!”

The awareness of dedication!

Magic medical!

Taiyi quickly gave his body emergency treatment.

Yuu Narukami looked at Taichi who suddenly appeared here, then looked back at the area where the explosion had just occurred... Some things really can't be thought about too much, just thinking about them makes one feel creepy.

"You bastards! Why are you still here?" After the pain subsided, Taiyi glared at everyone present with an angry look on his face and shouted, "Don't you know how dangerous it is here!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Shinjima suddenly jumped over and hugged Taichi from the front, "I'm really sorry!"

Taiyi’s miserable condition just now really scared her.

Her mind was now blank and she could only follow her instinct and keep apologizing.

Even Ryuji Sakamoto, who was usually the loudest, didn't say a word this time. He just lowered his head and apologized to Taichi with everyone else.

"Really... I almost thought I was going to die." Taiyi patted... Niijima's back with a look of fear on his face.

He really had no confidence that Jeanne's Noble Phantasm alone could intercept the aftermath of Yaldabaoth's explosion.

After all, this was the first time that he didn't turn the monster into a spark doll, but used all his strength to pour in "light" to make it explode.

It was also the first time that he used his physical body to withstand the explosion of a monster, and at such a close distance.

Thinking about it now, Taiyi doesn't know why he made such a selfless choice at that time.

Taichi looked up at the people whose hands and feet were still shaking, and at Shinjima Shin who was holding him tightly and refusing to let go, and Niijima Sae who was kneeling behind him with his arms around him and Shinjima Shin, whose body was also shaking, and he let out a long sigh.

……

"I will remain silent and avoid talking about everything that happened at that time." After everyone calmed down, Narukami Yuu stood in front of Taichi and looked at him seriously, "Or should we first come to a consensus here?"

"...No, there is no need to keep this secret." Taichi shook his head and replied, "Just tell your friends that the final boss of the Impression Space has been defeated. As for why Ultraman appeared in the Impression Space and whether Ultraman's human body is mixed in with the Personality Mask users, you don't need to explain it specifically. Just let them imagine freely."

"After all, my partner doesn't have the setting that he must leave the earth after his human identity is exposed."

Upon hearing this, Ming Shangyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he wasn't confident that he could keep a secret of this magnitude.

"Then can I ask you something appropriately?" Narukami Yu used honorifics to address Taichi.

"Do you want to ask why monsters appear in the real world? Or why the boss of the impression space, Yaldabaoth, turned into a monster?" Taichi looked at Narukami Yu and asked back.

Chapter 82: Ming Shangyou: Is this the information I should listen to?

It was beyond Taichi's expectation.

The question raised by Yu Narukami had nothing to do with monsters.

He mainly wanted to know how the so-called negative energy distorted human will.

He intends to use this as a topic to study the human spiritual self-protection mechanism.

In response, Taichi selectively told Narukami Yuu about X's research results.

In order to avoid the other party not understanding, Taiyi had to further modify the content of Aix's research...at least combine it into a language that the people on Earth could understand.

During this process, Amamiya Ren led the Phantom Thieves to re-explore the invisible space.

They had to make sure that Yaldabaoth had left no means of resurrection.

"Thank you so much for your information. I will record all of it." After putting away the recorder, Ming Shangyou thanked Taiyi again.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Although there is no bad pen in the impression space, Ming Shangyou has a personal recorder to record.

This recorder was what Bai Zhong Zhidou suggested he carry with him... Of course, everyone in their group has such a recorder.

After all, they may not be able to detect some information, but if they record it and then give the recorder to Bai Zhongzhidou after returning for re-investigation, she can always find new clues from it.

"Well, it's time for us to leave here." Taichi looked around and said goodbye to Narukami Yuu. "When you go back, Narukami-kun, I hope you can tell all the Personality Mask users who are on this mission on my behalf. Ask them to spare some time so that everyone who is a Personality Mask user can gather in the real world. We, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, have something very important to tell you."

Regarding the topic of the end of the world, Taichi plans to discuss it with the Personality Mask users to see how many of them are willing to abandon the Earth and join Taichi's new country.

After all, they are a group that has experienced large-scale projects to save the world, so they should be able to accept this reality.

"Is the topic about monsters?" Yu Narukami looked at Taichi and asked.

"Yes, it's an important topic that concerns the lives and lives of all of you." Tai nodded and deliberately emphasized his tone when answering.

"Although some people on our side have noticed it...is it a serious problem?" Ming Shangyou thought of the ambiguous words given by the "Dark God" on his side, and his eyebrows raised.

"It's very serious. I can even say it's more serious than I could imagine." Taiyi replied solemnly, "To be honest, I am pessimistic about this."

Shadow Master and Goro Akechi are clearly rapidly advancing towards an extraordinary level.

The Supreme Gods of the Earth Pantheon, who might be at the same level, just watched from the sidelines, and none of them was willing to take action against the Shadow Mage... There were gods everywhere, but not a single one of them was a friendly force.

Even Taiyi himself, who was the only defense line of the Earth, stayed with the idea of fighting first and then escaping if he couldn't win.

Anyway, it is impossible for Taiyi to stay on Earth and wait for death.

"Yes, I understand." Narukami Yuu's expression turned a little ugly, "I will contact other Personality Mask users as soon as I return to the real world."

"But before that, let's exchange contact information." Yuu Narukami took out his cell phone and asked Taichi for 'social' permission.

……

"Is it because Yaldabaoth was defeated? Why do I feel that the memory space has become much quieter?" Sakamoto Ryuji looked around, then turned his head and asked Amamiya Ren.

"It is also possible that the negative energy in the impression space was taken away by Yaldabaoth to strengthen Super Jetton?" Kitagawa Yusuke reminded.

"Anyway, don't be careless!" Morgana jumped up and reminded Sakamoto Ryuji, "Our battle is not over yet! It's not over just by defeating Yaldabaoth!"

“The finishing touches and cleanup afterwards are just as important!”

"Having said that, to be honest, I'm running out of motivation to continue." Sakamoto Ryuji kicked the pebbles at his feet with a frustrated look and sighed, "There are quite a few big names who have changed their minds because of us, right? But I don't see that society has become brighter because of those people's repentance."

"It is still a bottomless quagmire, and the social atmosphere is still one where low pressure can kill people."

"On the contrary, because we are overly involved in the dark side of society, I have the illusion that the more we intervene, the more chaotic society will become." Ryuji Sakamoto stamped his feet and sighed.

"If we want to improve the social atmosphere and make society more clear, it is not something that can be achieved in such a short period of time by getting a few people to repent, let alone seeing results." Niijima Sae, the only social elite at the scene, shook his head and explained, "This is a major project that needs to be carried out continuously and imperceptibly for decades or even hundreds of years."

"But don't underestimate our role," Shinjima added. "Even if we can make one person repent, there will definitely be others who will avoid disaster and gain happiness."

"If you think like this, will it increase your motivation a little?"

"Well... well, a little, but not much." Sakamoto Ryuji shook his head and sighed, "By the way, regarding Taichi's previous suggestion of 'moving to a new country', what do you think of it?"

"I'm alone and have already made my decision." Kitagawa Yusuke pushed his fox mask and replied.

"It's hard to say about my situation." Amamiya Lian shook her head and replied, "After all, it's the end of the world. This statement sounds like I was brainwashed by the propaganda of the 'Doomsday Cult'. My parents at home may not believe it and send me to a mental hospital."

"What's more, my innocence has not been proven yet, and even contacting my parents is strictly restricted."

Well, now that the plaintiff, Shido Masayoshi, is missing, Amamiya Ren’s innocence naturally cannot be proven.

As for finding the woman who was the 'victim' and 'witness' at the time... Kaguya Shinomiya had already sent people to look for her.

The other party has been missing for some time.

After all, there were monsters and the Phantom Thieves some time ago, plus the rampant brainwashing of various cults, the exact number of missing people has not yet been counted.

The reason why the woman was declared missing was that after all her relatives and friends were mobilized, there was still no news.

We can only conclude that she is socially missing.

As to whether the body is lying somewhere, it is unknown.

Chapter 83 A Gift from Igor

After saying goodbye to Narukami Yu and returning to the real world, Taichi told Sakura Futaba as briefly as possible about what happened in the memory space, and asked her to pass on the relevant matters to the other educated youth members of the Phantom Thieves in order to calm everyone's uneasy emotions.

Just as Taiyi hung up the phone and was about to continue his previous cult hunting activities, a door emitting green light suddenly appeared in front of Taiyi.

As the door slowly opened from the other side, a beautiful girl with silver hair and golden eyes, wearing unique style clothes and symmetrical butterfly hair accessories on her ears, stepped over the threshold from the other side of the door and walked in front of Taiyi with a huge hardcover book tucked under her arm.

The environment on the other side of the door was covered with a soft light that was dazzling but not irritating to the eyes. Therefore, Taiyi on this side could not see clearly what was happening on the other side of the door.

"Dear guest, I am Lavenda, the tenant of the Velvet Room. My master invites you to visit the Velvet Room. I wonder if you would like to honor me with your presence." With a cold voice, the tenant named Lavenda nodded to the lady with perfect etiquette.

“…Sorry to bother you then.” Taiyi clenched his fists and walked towards Lavenda.

Crossing the threshold, the 'Velvet Room' was officially opened to Taiyi.

"Welcome to my Velvet Room. This is the narrow gap between dreams and reality, spirit and matter." A mysterious old man with a long nose and white hair named 'Igor' sat behind his desk, supporting his chin with his white-gloved hands. When he looked at Taiyi, there was a smirk on his face that gave people a sinister and cunning impression.

Lavenda pulled out a chair from the empty space on the desk near Taiyi's side and gestured to Taiyi, "Please sit down."

Tai nodded, then walked to the desk without hesitation and sat down.

Almost at the same time when Taiyi's butt touched the edge of the chair, three figures slowly emerged on both sides of Taiyi.

"Hey? How come I have a physical body again?" Jeanne looked at her hands in surprise, then turned to look at Taichi who was sitting on the chair, "I feel that my strength is even stronger than when I gained a physical body in the real world."

"Wow! I actually got a physical body! Ah——I feel so tired..." Himiko, who had completely lost the lightness she had as the consciousness body of a personality mask, hung her head dejectedly.

"Soul... materialization?" Irisviel looked at Igor who was sitting behind the desk in disbelief. "Could it be that you are a magician who has mastered the third law?"

"I don't know what the 'third law' you mentioned is, but I can tell you for sure that I'm not a magician." Looking at the three 'Heroic Spirit Personalities' in front of him, Igor's smile became more exaggerated. "Although it's not uncommon for high-level Personalities to have self-awareness, this is the first time I've seen Personalities like these three that not only have completely independent personalities, but also have self-perfected 'character's past lives'."

"Should we say that you are worthy of being the hero of light who has saved the Earth from monsters and aliens many times?" Igor looked at Taichi and praised.

"You look tired? This is a question that Axel asked me to convey to him." Taiyi looked at Igor and asked.

"Ah, indeed." Igor nodded frankly without hiding anything. "During the time when I was defeated and imprisoned by Yaldabaoth, I was badly damaged. The Velvet Room was also destroyed by that guy. To be honest, it's already difficult for me to maintain my current posture and communicate with you."

"But I still have to ask Lavenda to invite you in and express my gratitude to you."

"You defeated Yaldabaoth and saved Velvet Room from the danger of being targeted by that guy again. Thank you very much for your efforts, Hero of Light."

"To express my gratitude, I plan to give you a gift." Igor took out a rectangular box from the drawer behind his desk and handed it to Taiyi, "Please open it and have a look."

“This is the best thing I have right now.”

"The things in here will enhance the new powers of your personality mask that you cannot awaken on your own."

"Including these two things." Igor suddenly snapped his fingers.

The despair crystal and miracle glow that had been dormant in Taiyi's body suddenly broke away from Taiyi's body and floated in mid-air.

"All I can do is help you channel these two powers. As for how to absorb them, you still have to do it yourself."

The despair crystal emitting purple-black light and the miracle glow emitting white light once again shone with their own unique brilliance and slowly sank into the box.

"This thank you is too much." Although he didn't know what Igor had done specifically, judging from the strange scene happening before his eyes, he was probably bleeding heavily.

"Not only gratitude, but also apology." The smile on Igor's face suddenly faded. "During the invasion of the Earth by aliens, the Velvet Room just watched from the sidelines and never intervened."

"Assigning this kind of work to a distinguished guest who is an outsider is a dereliction of duty for the Velvet Room and even more so for Igor."

"As a result, not only was the Velvet Room seized by the alien's ally, Yaldabaoth, but even the Velvet Room itself became a base for communication and cooperation between Yaldabaoth and the aliens."

"This regret will serve as a constant reminder to the Velvet Room."

“This power is the apology, thanks and choice in the Velvet Room.”

"We, the Velvet Room, will stand on a united front with you, Your Highness Taichi Naruto."

……

Holding a box in his hand and an antique key hanging around his neck, Taiyi walked out of the velvet room leisurely.

Jeanne, Himiko, and Irisviel followed closely behind.

However, when they crossed the threshold and returned to the real world, the figures of the three of them began to become unstable.

It looked like it would be torn apart by the air at any moment.

"Your Highness Taiyi, please open the box." Lavenda, who was following behind the others, reminded them, "The power inside can stabilize Jeanne, Himiko, and Irisviel."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi immediately opened the lid of the box.

Three tarot cards slowly emerged from the box and sank into the chests of Jeanne d'Arc, Himiko, and Irisviel.

The unstable illusions ceased.

"Incredible... I suddenly feel my strength has been further enhanced." Jeanne clenched her fists and muttered in disbelief, "... It's like the return of the spirit base."
