MHA Hero Time Ch 249 : The Plan
🕑 Added 2025-02-13 03:26:20 +0000 UTC[Tomb of the Star Corridor]
Deep underground, past countless barriers and hidden paths, they finally arrived at Tengen's chamber. The ancient being was there, sitting calmly, her form neither entirely human nor cursed.
"You have come," Tengen said, eyes half-closed. "I suppose you wish to know about Kenjaku's plans and the Culling Games."
"A talking Thumb" Yuji shouted seeing the face of Master Tengen, almost making everyone jump scared.
"Shush, keep quiet idiot." Megumi closed Yuji's mouth immediately.
"Just tell us everything you know," Megumi demanded.
Tengen nodded. "Kenjaku seal Satoru Gojo in a sealing Prism. This is one of the strongest sealing tools out there. You will need the Inverted spear of heaven or the black ropes if you are planning on releasing Satoru Gojo outside Kenjaku's own violation of course."
"Great, we got none and last we know Gojo sensei hide or destroyed both of them..."
"Why would he do that ?"
"Sigh... is there is any other way ?"
"Yes, though Kenjaku might have the 'front' of the prism realm but I hold the back of it..." Tengen said and brought a similar cube like the prism realm.
"This... can open the prism realm without taking the real prism realm from Kenjaku. However, the right to open this still remains with Kenjaku and thus we need those tools anyways..." Tengen said.
"That's very helpful besides the fact you didn't hear anything about us not having those tools..." Yuki on the side said with irritation.
"Well, there is also an ancient sorcerer who has been reincarnated by Kenjaku in the culling games, her name is Angel. She also has the power to open the sealing prism..."
"What! really, there is someone like that, why didn't you say that in the first place ?"
"I was coming to that..."
Sigh...
"Okay, so we have to find this ancient sorcerer and then convince her to open the prism realm to release Gojo..." Maki asked with a sigh of irritation.
'If only Yuta was here, his technique could have done open the prism realm with a snap. Others might not know about his technique much but Maki knew to know that he could have done it.'
"Anyway, there is no way but for you to enter into the culling games to find an angel to release Satoru Gojo. And that brings us to the culling game itself..." Tengen Explain.
"The Culling Games are a large-scale ritual set in motion by Kenjaku. His goal is to merge all of Japan's non-sorcerers with me, creating a new stage of evolution. The Culling Games serve as a way to prepare for that."
Yuji frowned. "What do you mean by 'merge'?"
"Exactly as it sounds. He wants to combine every non-sorcerer into one being—into me."
A heavy silence filled the chamber.
"How's that even possible ?" Okkotsu asked in disblieve.
"Who cares what's possible, is there a way to stop him ?" Maki asked hurriedly.
"No, It is already happening," Tengen shook her thumb head. "Kenjaku has already begun the ritual, and to stop him, you must first understand the Culling Games and how they function."
Tengen raised a hand, and a complex diagram appeared in the air, displaying the rules of the deadly tournament.
Rule 1: Any sorcerer or non-sorcerer who has been forced into the Culling Games must participate. Refusal results in death.
Rule 2: Players start with one point. However, killing another player earns them five points, unless the player is a non-sorcerer, in which case they are worth one point.
Rule 3: Players can spend 100 points to add a new rule to the game.
Rule 4: A player must score at least one point every 19 days, or they will be automatically eliminated (killed).
Rule 5: The game takes place in barrier colonies spread across Japan. Once inside, players cannot leave unless a new rule is added to allow it.
There are more rules but as this are all what that matters besides the fact that after earning around 100 points, a player can add a rule to the game.
After hearing the rules, everyone was silent.
"That's... a death match," Yuji whispered.
"Kenjaku made a battlefield where sorcerers fight each other endlessly," Okkotsu muttered. "And he benefits from it... How ?"
"He gets the curse energy, he needs an enormous amount of curse energy to pull the merger." Tengen answer.
Maki pointed out. "We need a plan."
Maki looked at Megumi. "You are the new head of the Zenin Clan, are you not? That will give you certain advantages. Come with me, let's get some good curse tools before we enter the colonies."
Megumi's eyes darkened. "I don't care about the Zenin Clan. I ain't there, I rather look for more help over going to get tools. Though if you want then go ahead, as long as permission are concerned, do whatever you want." Megumi had his own plans in mind.
He knew that doing this alone wasn't possible and thus he plan to bring in one more person from jujutsu tech. A third-year student and a strong one at that.
"Itadori, you'll come with me, we need to visit someone to get more help..."
"Huh ?" Yuji was confused by this.
"By the way, about the condition we decided before, I help you and now it is your turn to protect me. Who's gonna stay back to guard here..." Tengen asked, this was the deal they made.
Choso took a deep breath. "I'll do it, leave it to me."
"Me to, I have few more things to asked this old geezer." Yuki also said with a smile.
Tengen nodded. "Very well..."
"I'll then enter the colony early, I don't have anything else to do. Let me to first to find this angel..." Okkotsu said.
"And what about the points, we need to gather more points or find someone who has more points to add the rules to save Megumi's sister."
Yuji looked up, determination in his eyes. "Then we don't have a choice. We have to fight. And might have to kill other humans." Yuji didn't like it a bit.
Megumi nodded. "Remember, add rules to let other player share points and let players enter and leave colonies... that the goal beside finding Angel."
And while this was taking place, somewhere away, inside a colony, a bright light appeared and from there came a boy who was looking completely tired and out of breath before he fell unconscious.
