Sora left, taking the three Sekireis with him, without saying goodbye to anyone.
The remaining power of the artifact from the time reversal had been exhausted, and his body had finally reverted to the form appropriate for this era: a small boy of only eight or nine years old.
According to normal spacetime principles, his memories should have regressed as well. However, at the crucial moment, the golden Sekirei crest took effect, preserving his memories.
But after that, the Sekirei crest disappeared.
However, Sora didn't pay much attention to it. It had completed its mission, and it didn't matter if it disappeared.
Moreover, Sora had a feeling that the golden Sekirei crest was still inside him, or rather, in his soul, but for some reason, it couldn't manifest right now.
Having returned to his child form, Sora didn't plan to stay in Tokyo for long. For the sake of future battles, to protect this world, and to keep the promises he had made to his partners, he would begin his quest for power.
Sora had been considering this issue for a long time.
Ordinary training methods would definitely not work. Even a super soldier who had been training since childhood was just trash compared to the weakest Sekirei, let alone those powerful combat-type Sekireis.
It could be said that the two were not even in the same dimension; there was no comparison!
He had said that he would use his own power to defeat that little crow, Karasuba. If he wasn't strong enough to conquer her by then, he believed she would gladly cut him down!
So, to gain powerful strength, Sora launched a plan.
Although he was an Ashikabi , he was still a human. To gain power, the most direct method was naturally to consult humans themselves.
Thus, at Sora's instruction, the mental-type Sekirei, Kochou, who was skilled at manipulating electronic devices, began to hack into all the world's recorded literature, hoping to find methods that predecessors had used to gain powerful strength.
And it worked quite well. Soon, Kochou found some useful information from thousands of years of human civilization, bringing Sora a glimmer of hope.
Long ago, human ancestors had discovered a method of combining spiritual energy and material energy to create a new kind of power. This power could strengthen humans themselves, allowing them to surpass their limits.
In Japan, people called it Chakra. In China, people called it Inner Force. In European countries, people called it Magic. In Latin America and Africa, people called it Witchcraft.
This power could usually be synthesized inside the human body through meditation and special physical exercises, and then stored in a special acupoint called the Dantian. In battle, the power synthesized in peacetime could be mobilized, which could play a great role!
Moreover, with the discovery of this power, humans had created many ways to use it. For example, the ninjutsu of Japanese ninjas, the martial arts of Chinese heroes, the magic of European and American magicians, and the witchcraft of African wizards!
This information excited Sora like never before. Moreover, after consulting countless documents, he discovered an amazing fact:
The Sekirei's core, the "Jinki," is the human body's middle Dantian!
At the same time, a bold guess arose in Sora's mind.
Perhaps Sekireis constantly synthesize energy through their Jinki and then use it to fight.
However, unlike humans, they don't need to deliberately meditate; the Jinki can complete this process on its own.
In other words, as long as he meditated and cultivated constantly, he could also possess this powerful combat power!
From countless ancient books, Sora learned the feasibility of this guess. Although he was extremely excited, he didn't rush to start cultivating. Instead, he continued to have Kochou search for all related cultivation methods around the world, then cross-referenced them, simplified the complex, and eliminated the dross, so as to summarize the most ideal cultivation method.
With a heart full of excitement, Sora began to cultivate. After experiencing repeated doubts and disappointments, when he finally felt a warm current flowing within his body one day, he jumped up with excitement.
The wisdom of the ancestors was indeed miraculous, and Sora had finally personally confirmed the feasibility of the cultivation method.
Moreover, he gave this magical power a new name – Sekirei Power!
After cultivating Sekirei Power, Sora's confidence greatly increased. With a method to practice, all that was needed next was the accumulation of time.
However, these were only the first step of Sora's plan. As for the second step, it was naturally to seek ways to use Sekirei Power.
And so, a young boy, two loli, and a future mature woman officially began their world tour!
In the imperial tombs of ancient Japanese daimyo, they witnessed the wonders of ninjutsu. In the martial arts holy land of China, they witnessed the power of kung fu. In the secluded magic guilds of Europe, they witnessed the splendor of magic. In the ancient tribes of Africa, they witnessed the evil of witchcraft.
In short, almost every corner of the earth had their footprints. During their travels, they saw a lot and learned a lot.
Not to mention the Lightning Sisters, who were originally combat types, even Kochou, who was a non-combat type, also practiced and trained with Sora at his request, and now had considerable strength!
Even as a mental type, she had a fighting chance against all but the strongest combat-type Sekireis!
Of course, Sora and the others weren't always outside all these years. They returned to the Shinto Teito several times along the way.
They didn't go to see any acquaintances, only watching from afar each time.
It wasn't that Sora didn't want to, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that if he met them, he wouldn't be able to bear to leave again.
As the day of destiny drew closer, Sora's desire for strength became more and more obvious. Although he was already a superhuman in the eyes of ordinary people, he always felt that he wasn't strong enough!
At least, Sora didn't think he was strong enough to defeat Karasuba yet! Although he had made great progress over the years, that little crow wasn't just lazing around either. Her strength had also increased a lot, and he had almost been discovered by her several times while observing her in secret.
Therefore, before he became stronger, he had to keep cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating!
Of course, if it were just Takami, Miya, and Karasuba, Sora could completely endure until the Sekirei Plan was officially launched before returning. However, because of one person, Sora had to come back to see her from time to time.
That person was his and Takami's child, a girl named Yukari.
Unlike others, Sora would secretly spend some time with her each time he came back.
Of course, it was as a friend he happened to meet in the forest, not as her father.
It wasn't that Sora didn't want to tell her the truth, but he simply couldn't. Could you really have a young boy say something like, "Hey kid, I'm your dad" to a little girl?
Thinking about it, it was impossible!
And when Sora grew back into a handsome young man, Yukari would have developed into a beautiful young woman, making it even more impossible to say.
However, if he couldn't say it, he wouldn't say it. Sora didn't dwell on it too much. Anyway, this beast was thinking of taking both mother and daughter in the future. Maybe not letting her know would reduce some pressure.
However, as this girl grew up, her increasingly obvious personality made Sora feel a little troubled.
How should he put it? As expected of his and Takami's child, Yukari completely inherited Takami's demonic attributes from back then!
At the age of five, she dared to fight with a group of little kids. At the age of eight, she "accidentally" kicked a poor kid's balls. When she went to middle school, she became a popular figure in the school. The hooligans and gangsters inside and outside the school had to respectfully call her "Big Sister" and walk around her!
Sora sometimes covered his face speechlessly and wondered if it was right or wrong to secretly teach her the cultivation method. Raising such a fierce female tyrant at home, who would dare to marry her in the future!!!
"Alas, it seems that only your old man dares to marry you," Sora thought.
Finally, it should be mentioned that old Minaka, from the little brother of the past, had become a middle-aged uncle today. These years, this guy had been living quite well.
The only regret was that this guy was still a bachelor. As Sora said back then, a loser is a loser, destined to be lonely for life!
Over the years, with his super genius brain and the super technology he obtained from Kamikura Island, MBI had become the largest financial group in the world! The accumulated wealth was countless, and its underground armed forces were enough to conquer a country!
If that guy had the ambition to become a tyrant, maybe the earth would be his old Minaka's now!
However, this guy wasn't interested in any of that. The only thing he was interested in was recreating the ancient mythical era.
It seemed that there was a reason why he was chosen as the manager of the Sekirei Plan in the first place.
Now, the entire Tokyo was completely under MBI's control. Once the last batch of Sekireis was deployed, the Sekirei Plan could officially begin!
This year was 2020, a moment that would determine the fate of this world!
