Shuten-dōji's devastating attack failed to leave a single mark on the golden cocoon.
This surprised Zhou Huai, who was watching from a distance.
The defensive power of this golden cocoon is ridiculously high.
"What do we do now?"
Karen flew out of the ruins and landed next to Zhou Huai, her charred face full of solemnity.
He pointed to the deep crater below, which had been created by Shuten-dōji.
"That old guy was ambushed by his own shikigami, but he's definitely not dead."
“Once he cos out, along with the one inside the golden cocoon, it will be difficult for us to leave.”
Before Zhou Huai could even speak...
Polina, who was standing to the side, had already made a quick decision.
Her alluring purple eyes were fixed on the giant pendulum clock in the sky above the city center.
"Forget about that Kujo Kagemasa!"
"Snatch the pendulum of life first!"
Karen's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
yes!
Their primary goal is the pendulum of life!
Once this item is taken, [N O V E L I G H T] Kujo Kagemasa's resurrection ritual will naturally be interrupted.
"Great idea!"
Karen roared, no longer hesitating.
The quicksand wings on his back suddenly flapped, and he shot out like a cannonball, creating a piercing sonic boom.
The target was the enormous pendulum clock that floated in the sky, radiating endless golden light!
He was incredibly fast, covering a distance of a thousand ters in the blink of an eye, and rushed to the vicinity of the pendulum of life.
As the enormous artifact drew near, a glint of fanaticism flashed in Karen's eyes.
He stretched out his large hand, about to grab the pendulum clock.
But just as his hand was about to touch the bell...
"Buzz—!"
The enormous pendulum of life seed to possess its own consciousness.
It suddenly burst forth with a golden light several tis brighter than before.
A vast and unparalleled golden energy, like a torrent bursting its banks, surged out from the bell and slamd into Karen.
"boom!"
A loud bang.
Karen's massive body looked like a fly that had been casually swatted away.
Before he could even utter a muffled groan, he was instantly flung away by that imnse force.
It traced a haphazard parabola through the air before crashing heavily into the city ruins below.
"no!"
Karen, covered in dust and dirt, crawled out of another deep pit and roared at the sky.
"There's sothing strange about this broken bell! I can't get close to it at all!"
"Its current energy is far greater than I anticipated!"
High in the sky, Zhou Huai's brows were tightly furrowed.
He could sense that the pendulum of life was accumulating a trendous amount of energy at that mont.
It continuously draws life force from the ordinary people below to sustain this sacrificial ritual.
It's simply impossible to force your way in.
unless....
Just as Zhou Huai was pondering a solution.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
Inside the giant beast's corpse, the pendulum of life was sealed by six mysterious chains.
Those chains seed to have an innate ability to restrain the pendulum of life.
And in Karen's hands...
Zhou Huai's gaze instantly fell on the figure below who was still cursing, and he suddenly spoke.
"Try it with your chain!"
Karen's cursing stopped abruptly.
He was taken aback at first, then his dark eyes widened instantly, and a look of ecstatic realization spread across his face.
"yes!"
"How could I have forgotten about this!"
He slapped his forehead, no longer hesitating, and quickly pulled out the huge, pitch-black chain covered with mysterious runes from his spatial ring.
"Watch !"
Karen let out an excited roar.
He gripped one end of the chain with both hands, swinging the heavy chain with great force, creating a series of muffled whooshing sounds as it cut through the air.
Then, with all his might, he hurled the chain in his hand toward the huge golden clock in the sky!
The pitch-black chain traced a straight line through the air, like a black dragon ready to devour its prey.
The pendulum of life seed to have sensed the arrival of this natural enemy.
Its light surged again, attempting to use its vast energy to break the chains.
However, the pitch-black chain seed to ignore all the energy impacts.
It easily pierced through layers of golden light and precisely wrapped itself around a corner of the pendulum of life.
"Sizzle—"
A piercing sound, like hot oil being poured onto ice.
The next second.
What happened next shocked everyone.
The enormous pendulum of life, radiating boundless divine power, whose light rivaled that of the sun, dimd rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its enormous size, reaching up to thirty ters in height, also began to shrink rapidly.
In just a few breaths, it transford from a colossal object back into a simple, half-ter-tall pendulum clock.
Suspended in mid-air, its light was faint, as if it might go out at any mont.
This earth-shattering sacrificial ceremony was thus forcibly interrupted.
"What's going on?!"
From within the golden cocoon ca nine shadowy figures, their roars filled with disbelief and fury.
"strength......"
"Where did the power go?!"
"No! No—!!!"
The nine shadows inside the golden cocoon appeared exceptionally irritable and angry.
The entire golden cocoon began to shake violently, as if so terrifying creature was trying to break free from it.
But just as Shuten-dōji could not break through the golden cocoon from the outside.
It won't be easy for Kujo Masakage to get out of there.
"Hahaha! It's done!"
Karen, looking down at the life pendulum in the sky that had returned to its original state, let out a deafening laugh.
His eyes glead brightly as he struggled to pull on the other end of the chain.
He actually pulled the ancient golden clock down from mid-air and hugged it tightly in his arms.
High above, Zhou Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Although the process was sowhat bumpy, it was ultimately successful.
Karen and Polina were quite reliable in crucial monts.
It was at this mont.
Polina's clear and urgent voice rang out instantly.
"run!"
"Let's get out of here first!"
Karen's reaction was naturally quick.
Holding the hard-won pendulum of life, he suddenly flapped the quicksand wings on his back and flew rapidly towards the outside of the city without thinking.
However.
Before he could even reach the edge of Fuji Castle...
An extre cold suddenly enveloped the world without warning.
The air temperature dropped rapidly in an instant.
Karen felt as if the air around her had solidified, making it difficult to even breathe.
He subconsciously looked up and gazed ahead.
His pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.
Before them, a towering, incredibly thick ice wall, hundreds of ters high, had appeared out of nowhere.
The ice wall was crystal clear and exuded a chilling aura, like an insurmountable iceberg, completely blocking all his paths.
