In DEM, Westcott and the detector were looking at the data from the satellite's imaging device on the screen.
Although they were surprised that Yoshino could move in space, they quickly recovered when they remembered Yoshino's identity as a Spirit.
After all, Spirits were extraordinary beings, so such unscientific phenomena were not so strange.
"Lord Westcott, the imaging device on the second satellite is being consumed at an extremely fast rate.
Multiple layers of the arbitrary field have already been broken through!" Looking at the information feedback on the screen, the detector reported to Westcott.
The data displayed on the screen was the situation of the imaging device on the second satellite.
Although the value of the arbitrary field on it was decreasing at an extremely fast rate, they had installed far too many imaging devices on it.
"Hmph! It seems that equipping the second satellite with multiple layers of imaging devices as a precaution was not a mistake after all.
Even an attack of that magnitude would probably require Hermit to expend a lot of effort to break through so many layers of imaging devices.
But now is not the time to worry about that." Westcott thought that his decision to insist on equipping the second satellite with multiple layers of imaging devices, despite the opposition from other high-ranking DEM officials, was indeed correct.
The defensive power of this satellite was several times that of the first one.
Let's have a good fight.
"What is Hermit's emotional state now? Also, can you detect the sudden increase in her spiritual power?
She should have been close to spiritual power exhaustion just now, so why can she use this move again?" Westcott asked.
Although consuming Yoshino's spiritual power was his original goal, this special situation still made him a little concerned.
"According to reconnaissance, Hermit's emotional state has been continuously declining.
Also, Hermit's spiritual power increased because the red magic circle appeared behind her, causing her magical power to grow.
This might be a way to increase her magical power." As soon as Westcott finished speaking, all the data related to Yoshino's current situation appeared on the screen in front of him.
Although it was unclear how they obtained this data, from the data, Yoshino's current situation was definitely not good.
"Oh~ Emotions are declining? Does that mean Hermit is almost in a state of despair? Yes, that's it!
Despair to the point of reversal, and you will have the ability to solve the satellite in front of you, but then the person who destroys the entire Tengu City might be you." Westcott looked at Yoshino, whose emotions had dropped to a dangerous level, and a smile appeared on his face.
After five years of research on Honjou Nia, he also understood the terror of a Spirit's reversal.
He wondered what terrible things such a kind person would do after losing her sanity.
At the same time, in space, as Yoshino was desperately fighting, the Sixth Spirit: Mukuro Hoshimiya had been watching her.
She wore a spirit dress of a pink-purple short Qipao adorned with starlight, with constellation patterns on her gloves and hem, and medieval knight-like leg armor on her feet.
She had beautiful golden hair, showing that she valued her hair greatly.
Having lived in space all along, she had actually noticed a satellite about to fall to Earth much earlier, but she had already used her Angel Michael: Seguva to close off her heart.
Sealed away, she felt nothing when she saw the satellite. Rather, even if she did feel something, she had no ability to stop it, so she had been watching the satellite's situation. When Yoshino came to space alone to face the satellite, she happened to see her.
"Why is she trying so hard? With her current Spirit Power, she can't sustain this attack for much longer, so why doesn't she give up? Is she planning to risk her life?" Mukuro Hoshimiya looked at Yoshino, who was struggling to maintain everything, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. "Why is she trying so hard? She's a girl even younger than me; this shouldn't be possible. Also, why have the shackles that seal my heart been loosening since just now?"
Mukuro Hoshimiya touched her chest. She had clearly sealed her emotions, so why were they loosening now? It was as if some external factor was controlling the Spirit Power in her body. But unbeknownst to her, the spirit crystal within her was emitting a faint glow.
"Why?! Report why the meteor has not been destroyed after Yoshino has been attacking for so long?!" Itsuka Kotori, who was commanding Ratatoskr's fierce counterattack against DEM's aerial battleship, roared as she saw the satellite still not destroyed on the screen! She could tell from the red magic circle behind Yoshino that Yoshino might be using some method to force herself to gain Spirit Power, and from Yoshino's increasingly pale face, she could tell that Yoshino's current situation was not very good.
"Commander! The second satellite has a large number of Realizers, far more than the first one. Although Yoshino's attack is constantly destroying the Territory, the opponent seems to want to stop us from destroying the satellite by sheer quantity." After detection, he reported to Itsuka Kotori with a cold sweat after discovering the large number of Realizers on it. What he didn't say was that he had just calculated that even if Ratatoskr's main cannon were used to attack this satellite, it would probably take more than a dozen shots to bring it down.
"What! A large number of Realizers! You know how big the satellite is, and those guys actually equipped multiple Realizers on it. Damn it! This level of defense cannot be shot down in such a short time. What to do? What on earth should I do?" Itsuka Kotori was once again in a deadlock.
"Yoshino! You can do it!" Seeing Yoshino's pained expression, Natsumi suppressed her anxiety and shouted at the screen. But soon, green light emanated from Natsumi, seemingly in response to something. Then, all the Spirits present emitted light, and then multiple light spheres of different colors appeared floating in the air within the bridge. These colored light spheres formed a circle, then passed through the bridge's wall and flew outwards, seemingly towards Yoshino's location.
"What's going on? What exactly was that light sphere that just flew out of us? And why do I feel like half of my Spirit Power is gone?" Breathing somewhat heavily, Natsumi clutched her chest and, after checking her body, felt the loss of Spirit Power and asked in confusion. All the Spirits in the bridge were like this, but no one understood what was happening.
'I hope what I'm doing can help you, child.' While everyone was confused by this phenomenon, Murasame Reine's dark circles under her eyes deepened. But a faint smile still appeared on her face as she looked at Yoshino on the screen, 'You can do it, my child.'
"Is she planning to borrow Spirit Power from me to resist this satellite? She's really trying hard. Since we're both Spirits, I'll help you. According to our identities, you can also be considered my sister, so let me help you properly." Looking at the golden energy in her hand, Mukuro Hoshimiya looked at Yoshino, who was about to collapse, and released the energy sphere from her hand. The unrestrained energy sphere immediately flew towards Yoshino.
"No! Shiina. The Spirit Power supplemented by forbidden techniques is not as much as you are consuming now. It seems we need to borrow help from alaya and the others." Shiina looked at Yoshino's gradually retreating body and said with some solemnity. In this situation, they could only rely on alaya and gaia.
"Hmm? What's going on? Is DEM going to launch other attacks on us?" Shiina, who was about to contact alaya and the others, suddenly felt a flash of light from afar and asked in confusion. If that were truly the case, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury. They no longer had any other energy to deal with other attacks.
But to its surprise, these eight different colored light spheres were not trying to attack Yoshino. They rotated continuously behind Yoshino, and as they rotated, blue light also emanated from Yoshino. Soon, a blue light sphere emerged from Yoshino and joined their ranks. Thus, the nine light spheres rotated continuously, responding to something, and then the spirit crystal confiscated from Tobiichi Origami also flew over.
Then, a gigantic tree shadow appeared behind Yoshino, composed of ten circles and twenty-two paths. The nine light spheres and the spirit crystal behind Yoshino flew to the ten light points, and then the tree emitted a dazzling light.
"This is... the kabbalah tree of life." Kannazuki Kyouhei, who had been organizing the attack, swallowed after seeing this sight. Although he usually acted frivolously, he couldn't help but show fear when such a religious object appeared before him.
"The ten particles of the kabbalah tree of life..." Murasame Reine's face showed unprecedented seriousness as she looked at the ancient yet awe-inspiring tree shadow on the screen. Her original intention was merely to gather the Spirit Power of all the Spirits to help Yoshino, but she didn't expect such an unexpected situation to occur. "All of them have been lit up."
"As expected, it wasn't wrong. The power of Spirits indeed originates from the kabbalah tree of life. But now that Yoshino has obtained all the particles, she won't..." Itsuka Kotori said with a complex look in her eyes, holding a lollipop.
"The legendary path to godhood of the kabbalah tree of life. Now that Yoshino has obtained all the particles, could it be that she has already..." Kannazuki Kyouhei stroked his chin and said.
"Crown, Wisdom, Understanding, mercy, Severity, Beauty, Victory, Glory, Foundation, and Kingdom. These are the ten great particles on the kabbalah tree of life. Now that all ten great particles are lit, does that mean something is about to change in Yoshino?" Murasame Reine adjusted her glasses and said with a serious face.
In space, after Yoshino's body received the gift of the kabbalah tree of life, changes began to occur within her.
'No, the guardian's physical condition cannot withstand the energy of the kabbalah tree of life at all right now. It seems I need to act.' Zadkiel, within her, emitted a dazzling light after seeing what was happening. Slowly, she transformed into a ray of light and disappeared before Astaroth's eyes.
