"This is called being prepared for everything. We're just setting up the last line of defense. If we never use it, that's the best outco. Here, take this." The old mystic scholar Austin casually tossed a bag of donuts from his pocket and continued their ritual setup.
"Hey, hey, I told you not to treat like a child!" She seed to want to angrily get up and stab the old man's knee with a small knife, but after thinking about it, she quietly opened the donuts, experiencing the human desire and satisfaction of eating sweets.
It was her first ti being human too. Fantasy Materialization gave these fantasy evil spirits human bodies, completely different from the mystic scholars' vegetative bodies. She could even feel the fullness and satisfaction from sweets.
"I'll go find Xediles first and share the information. Mr. Lovecraft, act quickly over there and call ." Odysseus reached into his armor and took out a scarf.
On the scarf was the true form he relied on. As long as Mr. Lovecraft handed the scarf to anyone, as long as their strength wasn't beyond legend, Odysseus could possess enemies from miles away like a true witch demon.
After finishing, Odysseus pulled out a can of White Funeral Cola and tossed it to Annabelle.
"Hey, I don't need blue toilet cleaner, give a red cola instead." Annabelle took the cola, grumbling, but still opened the can and drank it.
"OK, I'll have so action soon." Mr. Lovecraft said, helping to complete the "Earth" symbol at this ritual node setup, then casually tossed a piece of chocolate to her.
"Cocoa butter? Even dogs wouldn't eat it, and don't brush off! Old geezers!" After saying that, she imdiately unwrapped the chocolate and ssily stuffed it into her mouth.
"Alright, go play with your phone. Just use your toy bear to keep watch for us, and once we save the world, we'll take you to Disneyland to see SpongeBob." Howard the Lover said nonsensically, handing his phone to the little girl-like evil spirit.
"Oh, what's fun to play?" The little witch picked up the phone and started fiddling with it.
"If you don't know what to watch, try Ultraman. It's suitable for you." Old mystic scholar Austin added.
The little witch began fiddling with the video site, suddenly saying, "I know a helper who could probably co over to help."
"Who?" The old n all turned their heads in unison.
"Xue Sesi, a very powerful witch. She once helped when I was possessing a doll and even left a contact thod. I'll try to reach her." Her words made everyone satisfied.
They were in dire need of manpower. After Odysseus left, it beca F3 Old Deng, and soon Mr. Lovecraft was about to leave too.
"Found it, old man. That guy Blington actually contacted ." Howard the Lover said, imdiately sharing the intel with Mr. Lovecraft.
"It seems ti waits for no one. I have to set off." Mr. Lovecraft had no hesitation, saying, "By the way, little Anna, give the contact info of that witch, Xue Sesi, and I'll find her along the way."
"No problem." Annabelle watched intently at Ultraman Tiga on the phone, instantly captivated by Da Gu.
Mr. Lovecraft saw this tokusatsu drama and, before leaving, ruffled her hair, saying, "Watch more tokusatsu. Although I'm a pessimist, I genuinely believe the world needs more hope now."
"Oh..." Annabelle didn't care what Old Deng said and continued watching the handso guy.
Human bodies are so strange, actually falling for this handso guy...
She gradually beca imrsed in the tokusatsu drama, watching the little figures inside perform their stories.
Outside, the large ritual constructed from the "Celestial Technique" and the "Heliocentric Technique" was finally complete, becoming the ultimate safety net.
Austin nad this combined ritual "Ritual: To the Brilliance."
The principle of this technique is to embody the concept of earth and starry sky. Here, within the range of the technique is the concept of "Earth," and the people within the technique are the "Guardians of the Earth."
And outside the ritual is the concept of the "Cosmos." The result achieved by the entire technique is the concept of "Earth's Guardians blocking cosmic invaders."
"Teacher, why choose this concept?" Naturally, Howard the Lover asked this question.
To mystic scholars, "concept" is indeed the greatest enhancent and the final result after the technique's completion.
However, he didn't expect why the old mystic scholar Austin chose this strange "concept."
Austin closed his eyes because, before coming into this world, he had discussed the last line of defense with Xue Dili.
"A technique based on so consensus of all the people in the world, I've already completed this drawing. It will be the most stringent in conditions and the strongest mystical technique once the effect is achieved, nad 'To the Brilliance.'" He said.
Xue Dili uses Light Magic, and as long as he's in the technique, with the concept as earth, the light magic he possesses can use the light to attack enemies outside representing "cosmic invaders..."
That would be an absolute win!
This is the final line of defense.
"Do you watch tokusatsu, Howard?" Old Austin asked.
On the side, Howard the Lover shook his head. Although his childhood coincided with the peak of tokusatsu, he had no choice but to focus on the study of mysticism since young, not even finishing Superman and Captain Arica, let alone having ti for heroes from across the ocean.
Austin looked at the ritual they had been preparing for a long ti and the gray sky, slling the salty sea scent in the air, he said,
"The so-called Tokusatsu heroes are actually just fairy tales for grown-up kids. In those Tokusatsu films, the screenwriters set all the bad concepts as 'monsters'," Austin said,
"War, invasion, hunger, fear, natural disasters, environntal issues... all these problems beco embodied monsters. And all we need to do is kill the monster that represents those concepts, and the abstract concept itself will be resolved."
"And Light represents the amalgamation of all good things—friendship, hope, dreams, miracles, and heroes are all represented by Light. In this fairy tale, when Light defeats the monster, the corresponding negative concepts disappear, and humanity restores peace and looks forward to the future once again."
Old Austin slowly explained the concept of Tokusatsu to Howard.
This was his understanding of Tokusatsu, a childhood fairy tale hero story, a symbol of infinitely beautiful hero images.
"In this light, Tokusatsu heroes are just as noble as Captain Arica and Iron Man," Howard responded.
In fact, he hadn't read much Arican comics. To him, most of his impressions of Arican comic heroes ca from the ani plots that his childhood classmates talked about.
But then he heard later that Captain Arica and Iron Man fought each other fiercely, each wanting to kill the other, even at the cost of splitting the alliance and hating each other.
At that mont, he suddenly felt that those heroes seed to have lost their magic.
However, he later heard that Iron Man snapped his fingers and died for Earth, and Captain Arica no longer lifted his shield.
As a young man who was about to secretly buy comic books, he was caught by the mystic scholar Old Deng, so he only found out the final plot through his classmates. The childhood heroes' final endings could only be found in spoken accounts.
Years later, when he thought back on this, he spent several tis the original price to buy deluxe editions of the comics, but he could never recover the feelings of the past.
It was then that he understood why his classmates were so obsessed with superhero stories.
"So, do you understand? Our last line of defense is at the final mont, through our ritual, to achieve that one and only miracle, and cause a global resonance by opposing the concepts of 'Light and Cosmic Invader'!"
"That's why I nad this ritual, 'To the Brilliance,'" he smiled, looking at Annabelle in the distance, holding a phone playing a Tokusatsu show.
This little evil spirit would cheer when Ultraman Tiga defeated the monster and feel heartache when Da Gu was injured; when she saw those divine plots, she would wipe her eyes with her doll-like clothes.
This scene, even made Howard the summoner feel incredulous. He couldn't believe why even an evil spirit would be moved by this fairy tale story for children.
"Because this is the charm of Light. If it really cos to the point where we are needed, this will be the last line of defense for the entire world. Before we die, the Light will not fail." Austin looked at the technique he had set up, filled with a sense of achievent and a final blessing for the impending apocalypse, "Just like in Tokusatsu shows, Light will never be defeated."
And lastly, their ritual should never be initiated...
At the cost of Howard remaining single forever, never should it co to this...
"No, the toy bear told that sothing is coming." Annabelle imdiately put down the phone and reminded, "It's similar to , an evil spirit!"
...
Old Lovecraft hid under his wide black robe, coming alone to Indonesian Moth, north of Boston.
He also secretly handed this address to Odysseus; their fiery combined skill had already sent the intelligence from this side.
Not only that, but he also happened to et the "Xue Sesi" lady with a little girl. Originally the witch refused to believe him, but she imdiately fell silent when he ntioned the nas Odysseus and Xediles.
Then, Old Lovecraft got a vial of virus liquid.
Perhaps it would play a role in the upcoming bacteriophage culture dish.
At this mont, the face under his mask twisted and beca Howard's likeness.
"Stop there!" Old Lovecraft's path was blocked by a figure hiding under a clerical robe. Their bodies had long been replaced, souls confined in wooden shells; what they considered grace was actually endless torture.
Thinking about this, Old Lovecraft was grateful he went to find the witch first and got the bacteriophage.
"Please inform Lord Blington that mystic scholar Howard seeks an audience and has brought back the sinner Austin's head." Old Lovecraft imdiately used his Celestial Technique.
This unique technique is the exclusive authentication mark of mystic scholars. The mont the Celestial Technique was shown, the opponents dismissed their doubts.
And this Celestial Technique was what the old man secretly learned on the spot while helping to set up the ritual.
However, the opponent seed to mockingly say, "Ha, Howard, when we invited you before, you were unwilling, and now you're rushing to offer yourself?"
Old Lovecraft could only smile wryly, "I used to think Magic was a fraud, but what did I know, forgive my petty thinking, and Lord Blington being willing to teach Magic to everyone, I can never repay your kindness."
"Kindness indeed!"
After saying this, he embraced the person, and at a swift speed put Odysseus' scarf around him.
In the next mont, the person was possessed by Odysseus, both sharing a knowing smile.
