The So-Called Destiny

Surging lightning cascaded upward against the current.

But Su Youzi and His Eminence the Pope both knew that this was not real lightning. It was the materialized manifestation of Soga Lie's immense spiritual power—the ability known as "Nen Flow."

In fact, His Eminence the Pope had some understanding of Soga Lie's ability, "Nen Flow."
