Chapter 31 - [SIDE STORY 1|PRIMORDIAL CHAOS - [C5] PARADISE OF THE GUILTY

The two then stared eye to eye with none of the two backing down. Sukuna turned towards Tsukuyomi with the blade of the Young Clan Head grazing over his neck.

Sukuna didn't look elsewhere and only continued to stare at him eye to eye even after turning his back, facing Tsukuyomi with a light smile on his face as he spoke.

"The seal I've placed upon your Father's heart is a barrier that will hinder the further development of the wisp lingering in his body.

If you're still suspicious of it, feel free to check it yourself.

Remember this Young Clan Head. I have my dignity as a healer. Don't ever doubt my credibility."

The proud, confident, worried look in Sukuna's eyes changed once again that of a person who upholds his integrity but digging deeper into his soul, Tsukuyomi saw nothing but an absolute void, empty, filled with a thousand masquerades.

"Who are you?"

Tsukuyomi questioned as he steeled his resolve to cut down the "imposter" in front of him.

Sukuna just turned his back on him once again, facing his parents. He reached out his hand mid-air.

"I am Sukuna."

He muttered with proudness in his voice.

Even though there was a blade ready to slice his neck off right that instant, he poured a huge amount of Pure Divine Power into the two Gods lying down on the bed with a lot of scars and bleeding.

The light that appeared within his hands brightened up the entire room with warm and gentle light, the hue of greenery from a vast expanse of purified plains. With all that Divine Power seeping right through his parents, Tsukuyomi's doubt began to fade as he saw Sukuna's healing miracle.

"Phase 1, Paradise of the Holiness."

Sukuna mumbled, and in that very instant, the feeling that Tsukuyomi felt earlier became reality as they momentarily entered a place floating into the sky with plants and grass hanging over a ruined temple, a water passage that reaches down to the land which feeds it's inhabitants.

The plains he envisioned changed that of a place filled with the purity close to that of the First Gods to have existed before the Primordials nor before any lifeforms were born.

There, his parents lay on top of a huge levelled stone brimming with vitality.

Tsukuyomi was surprised by the Divine Power he felt from Sukuna, making him lower his hand, removing all of his doubts.

"Sukunahikona... The God of Healing... Are you perhaps..."

Sukuna's eyes moved slightly still fixated on completely healing the two Gods of Creation right in front of him.

"Don't think too much about my identity, I was just amazed by the resolve you exhibited earlier till now to protect what you hold dear.

That's the only reason I'm doing this. As for the wisp... I can only temporarily halt its potential growth."

Having heard his voice, Tsukuyomi knelt on the grass, leaning his head, eventually reaching the grass as he apologised.

"I apologize.

I'm sorry for ever doubting you."

Tears flowed down into his eyes as he apologized.

"Sukuna" just silently stood there as he engraved something into Izanami's heart.

'Possessor of the 7th, I bid you luck in the afterlife... I apologize once again to the entire Mikoto Clan that will soon face destruction...

You may all blame me for it after everything has died down.'

*RING*

A soft ringing sound echoed throughout the land.

Sukuna's body glimmered a silent white light which reached out to the entire place in the momentary world he created.

Everything started to be engulfed in said light. Moments later, Tsukuyomi opened his eyes slowly as he moved his head to face the healer right in front of him; the feeling of being within that fallen structure and uncorrupted place disappeared along with Sukuna.

"What...?

Where's our benefactor...?"

He questioned, abruptly standing up to check on his parent's condition.

"Father! Mother!"

As soon as he stood up to check on them, he saw that all the wounds and bleeding, scars alike had disappeared.

"Thank goodness... Hic... Hic..."

Tears once again flowed down as he saw his family completely cured.

Izanami's eyes opened, after hearing her son's cry. She then moved her hand reaching out to her weeping child.

"Why are you crying, my child...?"

Her voice expresses her worries towards her child. As soon as he heard her mother's voice, Tsukuyomi cried out more than earlier as he held his mother's hand.

"Hic... Hic... Mother..."

"There, there, my child..."

Izanami moved her already recovered body to hug the weeping Tsukuyomi alongside her husband.

"We're back."

She gently smiled, facing her only child with tears flooding down his face. Tsukuyomi replied.

"Welcome back... Mother... Father."

He smiled as he embraced the warmth of his family.

On the other hand, Izanagi is still deeply asleep for unknown reasons that lasted for a very long time...
