At night, they took a luxurious private jet meticulously prepared by various magical organizations and arrived in Japan.
Since Liliana had called, saying she could finish up by tomorrow, Kaito set off for that region.
Now, the group was temporarily staying at Seishuin Ena's house. As a Hime-Miko, it was her responsibility to attend to Kaito.
The Compilation Committee also sent people over, tremblingly trying to entertain Kaito and Luo Hao, but Kaito, displeased, dismissed them.
Kaito had no intention of interacting with them. Not to mention their intentional manipulation of Godou in the original work, just their conduct was something Kaito disliked.
As for Mariya Yuri, another Hime-Miko in the original work, Kaito didn't see her.
But depending on the situation...
Perhaps she had already become a 'sacrifice' to summon the Monkey King.
Kaito specifically asked, and the result was...
Unfortunately, that woman simply didn't exist.
It seemed there were some changes in this world.
"Daddy, are you going to fight the Monkey King tomorrow?"
After bathing, Athena had become Kaito's body pillow.
On the big bed, Athena swung her little feet and asked curiously.
"Yes, as long as they successfully unseal him."
Kaito flipped through all the materials Ena had given him about Sun Wukong.
He scorned the idea of receiving information mouth-to-mouth to awaken the golden sword.
He already understood Sun Wukong to a certain extent, and with this material in hand, there was simply no need for that.
As for the exciting mouth-to-mouth scene, now, whenever Kaito wanted, Erica would actively come to his room.
"I see. Does Daddy need help then?"
Athena asked with concern.
Perhaps this question wasn't asked by her, but by Metis or the real Athena.
Kaito glanced back at Athena, then curled his lips slightly and shook his head in refusal.
He knew that Athena could also split into clones. That is, the current daughter version of Athena could stay here, while a Metis version of Athena appeared.
Both could maintain their loli state.
Suddenly, Kaito had a bold idea!
'Too bad!'
'I'll be fighting tomorrow, plus this house wasn't soundproof. Forget it, forget it.'
Kaito took out the world's most delicious lollipop from the Gate of Babylon and fed it to her. That settled that.
Afterwards, of course…
It was naturally sleeping with the fragrant-smelling Athena.
…
Morning...
After breakfast, Kaito and his group were ready to go. According to news from Ena, the Monkey King Sun Wukong was now in the final stage of unsealing, and the time would be 9:19:19 AM.
Kaito didn't know how this specific time came about, but he expressionlessly followed the guides and took a vehicle to the shrine where Sun Wukong was sealed.
By now, the shrine was already closed, and all ordinary people in the surrounding area had been dispersed.
When Kaito arrived here, some related workers were also gradually evacuating, leaving only the main personnel behind.
"Heh, if only they were as easy to talk to with me as they are with you."
Luo Hao looked at the departing workers around them and sneered coldly.
"Hahaha, who let me have a planet-destroying ship hanging over their heads? They don't want to become sinners of the world."
"Hmph, I'll settle this score sooner or later."
"Speaking of which, isn't Japan supposed to have eight million gods? Why not kill a few for fun?"
"Trash, false gods. Killing them is useless, besides, we don't even know if they exist."
"True."
Kaito nodded in agreement. Ena beside them looked very awkward, and the sword she carried on her back trembled involuntarily.
Right on time, along with slight tremors from the mountain and surrounding areas.
Bang—!!!
The shrine exploded.
Kaito, waiting at the foot of the mountain, slightly raised his head, watching a figure shooting into the sky.
Still departing from the original work, the Monkey King Sun Wukong here was not attached to Mariya Hikari.
Since Mariya Yuri didn't exist at all, and her family didn't appear either, it wasn't strange that Mariya Hikari wasn't there either.
However, to unseal the Monkey King, some Hime-Miko were probably sacrificed.
It was a very cruel method, but indeed the most direct and effective one.
After feeling just a slight twinge of guilt, Kaito floated into the sky, formally facing the monkey swinging his long staff in the sky.
"I see. You let old Sun out because you want to kill me?"
Sun Wukong saw Kaito. He had originally wanted to raise some hell here and then happily go out on a rampage, but now he couldn't help but get serious.
With his intuition, Kaito was an extremely powerful Demon King, absolutely not to be underestimated.
"Yes. Actually, I used to admire you quite a bit, until I read the story behind 'Sun Wukong' and increasingly felt that you... are not at all the 'Great Sage, Heaven's Equal Sun Wukong' I imagined in my childhood."
A Vortex Vanquisher polearm was formed. After injecting a large amount of magical power into it for strengthening, Kaito, clad in royal robes, also assumed a combat stance.
"Hahahaha!"
"Is that so? Is that what you think of old Sun?"
"But so what!!"
"I will repay all the humiliations of the past with double!! As for you..."
"Either get lost, or die!"
Bang—!!!
Sun Wukong swung his red long staff in the sky, creating a powerful airwave that messed up Kaito's hair. In response, Kaito released his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, forcibly pushing the airwave back.
This was Haki with no upper limit to its enhancement, practically equivalent to pure pressure now.
"No need for more words. Fight, Sun Wukong."
"In my eyes, including Luo Hao's eyes, you are no longer the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal Sun Wukong of the past."
"You are merely the Monkey King!"
Tossing the floating Geo cube into the air, letting it slowly ascend...
[Solid as Rock]
[I shall endure, I shall accumulate]
After layering several shields on himself, Kaito raised the Vortex Vanquisher polearm and charged forward at speeds exceeding Mach 10, accompanied by Chains of Heaven appearing behind Sun Wukong!
Instead of getting entangled with him, Kaito preferred a quick battle!
As for why he didn't draw the golden sword from the start, it was to use it as one of his trump cards.
"Hey! You've really made old Sun angry now!"
