Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 774 - 772: Emily vs. Morimoto Chiyoda

"Alright."

Morimoto Chiyoda raised the sword in her hand and shouted, "Frost Sorrow."

The true name of the Noble Phantasm was invoked.

That familiar wave of energy began spreading outward from her heart. This time, she didn't confine the wave to a small area, but continuously expanded it to occupy the entire Yokota Airbase's tarmac and runway.

Then, she stabilized it.

At that moment, the ground crackled, and before the excited eyes of the research personnel, skeletons broke through the surface and emerged.

The staggering amount made Emily swallow nervously, suddenly realizing that the far distant City of Ideals might only block the front.

Could it stop threats from the sides and behind?

Her eyes scanned the surroundings, and seeing the overwhelming numbers gave her a slight sense of anxiety.

Emily naturally understood that Morimoto Chiyoda wasn't going to seriously attack her, but losing to Morimoto Chiyoda in a duel was embarrassing.

They were all Treasure Users after all; losing instantly was just unspeakable.

Her previously boasted strongest defense suddenly became somewhat hollow.

With a rumbling sound, the ground split open again, and the skeleton of a Giant Dragon emerged from below, its dragon head's skull serving as the platform for Morimoto Chiyoda.

The skeleton dragon, composed entirely of bones including its wings, managed to soar in the sky.

This scene piqued the curiosity of the researchers.

Although the sudden emergence of skeletons from the ground seemed inexplicable, the sight of a bone dragon soaring in the sky using its skeletal structure intrigued the researchers even more, making them wonder how such things could be achieved.

They stared at the instruments detecting magnetic fields on site, the readings were already chaotic, indicating the anomalies happening there.

Morimoto Chiyoda stood atop the dragon's head and shouted below, "Emily, aren't you going to deploy your Noble Phantasm?"

"The far distant City of Ideals!"

Emily shouted loudly, a circular Light Shield burst forth from in front of the shield, followed by snow-white city walls rising from the ground.

Under her inner repelling will, the walls didn't ignore the skeletons but rudely pushed them aside.

A large number of skeletons crowded together, and the walls extended ten meters to the sides before stopping, reaching a height of several tens of meters.

This deployment made Emily realize that there was indeed defense on the sides and behind.

The place where she stood was right in front of the city gate.

With the walls and gate directly blocking all enemies from the sides and behind.

The only place seemingly left uncovered was overhead.

Morimoto Chiyoda naturally noticed the gap overhead but didn't hastily attack from above. Instead, she wanted to test Emily's defensive capabilities to see if it was truly as strong as claimed.

She waved Frost Sorrow, and each skeleton let out a roar.

How could mere bones produce sound?

This question again caused the researchers to fall into confusion and speculation, making them wish to dissect a skeleton to investigate.

They swung their broken swords towards Emily, their paths chaotic, but their downward slashes were synchronized.

Emily's expression didn't falter; those attacks landed on the Light Shield and were directly deflected.

The stronger the attack against the Light Shield, the stronger the counterforce generated.

Even the skeletons, unbreakable by an M500, shattered under a single blow due to the counterforce.

Seeing this, Morimoto Chiyoda focused her mind, and Frost Sorrow in her hand emitted a ghostly glow.

All the skeletons gathered together.

They squeezed and fused relentlessly.

In a blink, a giant over a hundred meters tall, composed of countless skeletons, stood there.

Skulls pressed together, densely packed like a beehive.

The open ground allowed more skeletons to emerge.

The number of skeletons seemed endless. Witnessing this, Morimoto Chiyoda once again fused them into the body of the skeletal giant, only to discover the limits had been reached; further fusion was impossible.

She could only gather more skeletons to form a new skeletal giant.

From the open ground, more skeletons grew.

Morimoto Chiyoda once more condensed them into a massive skeletal giant, even their weapons fused, forming a forty-meter-long sword.

The surface appeared tattered, yet it was exceedingly solid.

Emily looked at Morimoto Chiyoda's Noble Phantasm, feeling that her far distant City of Ideals wasn't quite as impressive.

Indeed, offensive Noble Phantasms were more attractive.

She sighed inwardly.

...

Ultimately, nine skeletal giants appeared at Yokota Airbase.

Morimoto Chiyoda surveyed the shattered ground, which could no longer generate skeletons.

So this is the limit, she thought.

Without hesitation, she swung Frost Sorrow forward.

The nine skeletal giants raised their massive blades and chopped downwards.

BOOM!

The deafening boom exploded, and even with noise-canceling headphones, the researchers two hundred meters away felt the intense roar erupt like thunder.

Crackling, the windows of the base buildings showed spiderweb-like cracks.

The impact forced the nine skeletal giants to stagger back a few steps, their shaky stance seeming close to collapse.

Emily's forehead beaded with sweat, "Ha, ha."

Her breath was slightly labored; the scene of nine blades descending was truly terrifying.

Her resolve was somewhat shaken, nearly failing to maintain the defense of the far distant City of Ideals.

If the heart does not waver, no attack can break the already distant City of Ideals.

But how can a person's heart remain completely unwavering from beginning to end?

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, knowing in her heart that the greatest weakness of the already distant City of Ideals was herself.

Morimoto Chiyoda watched the scene from high above, not opting for a strong attack. With a wave of her sword, she coordinated nine Bone Giants.

This time, they didn't attack from a single angle.

Some bones didn't strike from the front but instead slashed down from above Emily's head from high in the sky.

Several other blades came slashing from different directions, ensuring that Emily couldn't lift her shield to block the attacks from above.

Emily gripped her shield tightly, thinking in her heart that as long as she remained steadfast, she wouldn't be breached; her defense should be able to protect her.

She needed to have a believing heart!

Emily gritted her teeth, raised her head, and watched as a giant blade seemed to split the sky descending.

The imperfections on the blade looked small from a distance, but up close, each gap seemed large enough to engulf her.

Boom!

The blade slashed through the air, making a wailing sound that echoed far and wide.

The blade surpassed the city walls!

Emily's eyes widened; could she really not defend from above?!

Morimoto Chiyoda immediately commanded the Bone Giant to stop attacking. The wind pressure still descended, almost tearing apart Emily's Gothic dress.

Under the immense pressure, she almost collapsed to the ground.

The skeletal Bone Dragon descended from the sky. Morimoto Chiyoda leaped down from it, landed, and said, "It seems your defense isn't comprehensive."

"It seems that way."

Emily was somewhat frustrated. This meant that she had to pay attention to enemies that could attack from multiple directions.

In other words, ideally, she should find a partner to coordinate her defensive Noble Phantasm.

After all, her frontal defense was like an impregnable fortress.

Morimoto Chiyoda also realized this, smiled, and said, "In the future, we'll join forces. I'll attack, and you'll protect me.

In this way, most Treasure Users won't be able to defeat us."

"Hmm."

Emily nodded.

A dinging sound suddenly echoed. Morimoto Chiyoda took out her phone from her pocket and saw it was a call from Jack. With a swipe of her thumb, she put it on speaker and said, "Director, what's the matter?"

"Morimoto, have you heard any strange voice telling you to make a trip to London?"

Jack's question gave Morimoto Chiyoda a pause before she replied, "I haven't heard anything."

Emily couldn't help but interject, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Jack wasn't surprised by her joining the conversation and responded truthfully, "The higher-ups ordered me to ask you specifically.

Apparently, when David was dealing with the Lava Demon in Buffalo, he heard a voice telling him to go to London to fulfill his wish.

There is said to be a Noble Phantasm that fulfills all wishes there."

"A Noble Phantasm that fulfills all wishes?"

Morimoto Chiyoda showed a hint of surprise on her face, then quickly realized that the Noble Phantasm probably had nothing to do with Dio.

Could it be the work of other Angel Envoys?

They specifically called David over. What conspiracy is behind this?

Morimoto Chiyoda pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do the higher-ups mean?

Do they want David to go and claim the Noble Phantasm that fulfills all wishes?"

"The higher-ups are very divided now. I heard from Director John that some think David should go to London and take a look.

Others think it's just a tactic to get David out of the way.

Once David leaves the United States, a large amount of monsters might appear in New York State."

Jack explained the higher-ups' thoughts.

Some scholars and experts regard the place where Dio distributed Noble Phantasms as a war zone.

They believe that Dio granting Noble Phantasms indicates that place has the highest overlap with a Different World and the barrier is easily breached by the Dread Emperor.

So if David leaves New York, it might lead to an empty situation in New York.

When monsters attack, no one would be able to stop their rampage. It would be a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"This is not a split of the party, but a split of age. The older people want the Noble Phantasm that can fulfill all wishes.

The younger people don't really believe. What do you think is more likely?"

Hearing Jack's question, Morimoto Chiyoda shook her head and said, "There's too little information. I can't make a judgment."

"It's definitely fake. A Noble Phantasm that fulfills all wishes sounds exaggerated, even Dio couldn't achieve something like that."

Emily's confident attitude crushed a glimmer of hope in Jack's heart, who shrugged and said, "Then forget it, I'll report it honestly and see what the higher-ups decide.

Anyway, any benefit won't accrue to me."

"Hmm."

Morimoto Chiyoda hung up the phone.

In front of her, Emily touched her chin with a small hand and said thoughtfully, "London, do you think Dio is unaware of this, or does he know but doesn't want to intervene immediately?"

If it's the latter, it could mean that a Noble Phantasm fulfilling all wishes might actually exist.

Morimoto Chiyoda shrugged and said, "I don't know. Don't overthink it. We weren't invited."

"True."

Emily nodded; having afternoon tea seemed like a better idea.
