Ichinose nodded emphatically and reached out to pull Tsubaki Kamioka into a tight embrace.

Then, with a somewhat confused but gradually calming look in his eyes, Suwei summoned the [Yama Blade].

A flash of dark blue light appeared.

It directly cleaved open the dream barrier constructed by the Pale Knight, creating a rift leading to reality!

......

Soon, the crack in the barrier closed and disappeared behind them.

Su Wei, along with Horikita Suzune and Shiina Hiyori, successfully returned to the hospital in the real world of Yukihara City.

On the hospital bed, Tsubaki Kugaoka's true form lay quietly amidst various life-sustaining tubes, like a lifeless skeleton.

Su Wei turned to look at Horikita Suzune and said in a deep voice:

"While Crazy Diamond's ability is restoration, Xiaochun was used by her parents as a bacterial reservoir, with a large number of modified bacteria implanted in her. Even her nerves were modified to be a source of plague-like pain..."

"To completely cure her, we would probably have to destroy all the contaminated magic circuits in her body, and even her bones and blood, and then repair them all."

Hiyori Shiina pursed her lips: "This is the only way to rebuild after destruction."

"I hope that Xiaochun's consciousness... won't be so painful that she wakes up from her dream during this process."

After all, the Netherworld Barrier created by the Pale Knight's Noble Phantasm was actually entirely based on the Tsubaki Valley.

Because in some mythologies, the boundary between dreams and death is blurred, which is equivalent to hell, a realm of demons and plagues.

This is also one of the reasons why Kugaoka Tsubaki is able to use herself as an anchor point to summon and maintain the Pale Knight Barrier.

Conversely, once Tsubaki Kugaoka awakens from her dream due to excruciating pain, the Pale Knight will lose the means to use her power.

That's why Hiyori Shiina is so worried.

Horikita Suzune, however, did not back down in the slightest:

"Let's try treating Xiaochun first! Once her body is healed, we'll have plenty of ways to get her back to sleep!"

As she spoke, Horikita Suzune summoned [Crazy Diamond] and came to Tsubaki Kurogaki's bedside.

After confirming that the Pale Knights did not activate the Stress Protection mechanic, they were treated as enemies and attacked.

Crazy Diamond raised his fists and unleashed a barrage of blows on Kugaoka Tsubaki's mangled body without hesitation!

"Dula doula doula doula doula-!"

Although this violent "treatment" did not last long before it abruptly stopped.

In just one or two seconds, Kuangqiu Chun's body was physically shattered, and then, thanks to the Crazy Drill's miraculous regenerative power, it was reshaped into a flawless, healthy body!

Although this transformative change didn't have time to send the excruciating pain back to the central nervous system, the sudden surge of vitality and health caused Kugaoka Tsubaki's eyelashes to tremble slightly on the hospital bed, indicating signs of awakening.

Fortunately, just as Tsubaki was about to wake up and leave the dream world, Ichinose, who was in the dream world, noticed something was wrong.

She hugged Kugaoka Tsubaki tighter, using her own comfort to calm the girl's mind and successfully stabilize her restless soul, keeping her temporarily in a sweet dream.

Seeing that the girl's breathing had calmed down, Su Wei turned to look at the [Godslayer Crossbow] that Horikita Suzune was holding, and pondered for a moment:

"The illness is cured."

"So next... we'll take this thing and head to the main battlefield to find Ishtar, right?"

Shiina Hiyori shook her head and flipped through the [Whispering Manual] in her hand:

"Not yet. Although this crossbow has the concept of slaying gods, it's still not enough against the nearly undefeated Goddess of Heaven..."

"It needs to be imbued with the concepts of 'smashing down the sky' and 'enhancing god-slaying' to pose a deadly threat to Ishtar. And this requires the assistance of Caster Alexandre Dumas and El-Melloi II."

"I'll go back to the Mirror World first and ask Netura and Karuizawa for help to pass the information to Dumas and the others."

“Alright, let’s act quickly.” Suwei nodded in agreement, then looked at Horikita Suzune, “Then Horikita and I will take Tsubaki and go to extend the Pale Knight’s barrier into the interior of Ishtar’s temple barrier, so as to weaken the goddess’s divine authority.”

"With the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] and Morishita providing covert support, Tsubaki's safety should be no problem."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Shiina Hiyori took a step back and blended into the mirrored wall.

Horikita Suzune, who remained where she was, frowned with some suspicion after hearing Su Wei's words.

'Morishita...Is Morishita blue? '

Isn't she already dead?!

......

Meanwhile, the main battlefield is located on the outskirts of Xueyuan City.

Although Humbaba, a legendary Pokémon, was swiftly and decisively defeated in a concentrated attack by the group, the situation did not change in favor of the humans.

This is because everyone knows that only when the [Bull of the Sky], symbolizing natural disasters, appears can the powers of the chief goddess Inanna be truly completed, representing her full strength since descending to the mortal realm.

As for Finbaba, who was instantly defeated?

That was purely Ishtar's good luck; she just found the mount in this snowy city.

Its death did not actually have a significant impact on Ishtar's combat strength.
