A Place to Hide
The Gates of Hell were slowly closing. Ichigo and Tsuna's attacks rushed through the closing gates. They didn't know the specific outcome, but hopefully they could inflict some damage on Satan.
As for killing Satan with just these two moves, Tsuna had no illusions. Since those Sinners were pierced by the Chains Hell could be resurrected in Hell, Tsuna didn't believe that Hell wouldn't take corresponding measures against a power of Satan's level.
The closed Gates of Hell disappeared over London, and the sun shone down on the London earth once more. Compared to the London ravaged by the six Fairy Tale Dragon, it was clearly more dilapidated after experiencing the tribulation of Satan.
First, Satan used the power of fairy tales to cleanse the city once again, then various Dark Dragon he instigated ran rampant in London, leaving only ruins in what was once just a wasteland.
"Damn it, it got away!" Ichigo angrily waved his hand after deactivating his Quincy form. "The power to Hell has increased again. I wonder if Aunt Kitetu and the others can hold on."
"It shouldn't be a problem in the short term. Compared to Hell, the real headache is the current state of London. This more dilapidated London can't be fooled by just one or two reports."
Tsuna looked down at the city, which could no longer be called a city, and returned with Ichigo to where Hirako and the others were.
"Sawada-sensei, Hell ..." Tsuna hadn't even stood up straight when Wolfgang approached. He never imagined that after fighting the Dark Dragon his whole life, he would learn of a new calamity befalling London in his later years.
Judging from the fact that Satan actively entered the Gates of Hell, the corpse possessed a certain level of consciousness. Wolfgang worried that Satan might return with the demons who fell with him, as in some distorted legends.
"We don't need to worry about Hell for now. There are people in Hell in the East Bureau too, so they can't cause any trouble for the time being," Tsuna said. "Compared to worrying about Hell, I think the reconstruction of London is your primary concern."
Unlike when the Fairy Tale Dragon destroyed London before, when the West Bureau was able to use the power of the Light Dragons to repair London's buildings, now all the dragons in London have been corrupted by Satan into Dark Dragon. The West Bureau simply cannot gather enough dragon companions in a short time.
Furthermore, London is now even more dilapidated, which cannot be explained away by mere aftershocks; it could even lead to an international incident.
"I understand. Please have the Hell East Bureau explain the details to me later." West Bureau's commanding presence emanated from Wolfgang. "West Bureau leaders, it's time to get moving!"
In the distant shadows, an army was marching in orderly ranks. At the very front of the army, a blond-haired man named Haschwalth silently watched the Reishi disappear from his fingertips.
Those were the Reishi he left behind from the Fairy Tale Dragon. The disappearance of the Reishi now proved that the Fairy Tale Dragon had been defeated. Haschwalth gently tapped the coffin beside him and respectfully reported.
"Your Majesty, the Gillian you released have been defeated by Sawada Tsunayoshi."
After a long while, Yhwach's voice finally rang out, "Being defeated is normal. That was the greatest opponent who could stop me from unifying the Three Worlds, Sawada Tsunayoshi. I wonder if you are satisfied with the gift I prepared?"
As Satan's former master, Yhwach knew that this thing had some connection with Hell, and that Satan might even have been created by Hell to plunder Western Reishi.
As long as Satan infects the Dark Dragon more in the West, Hell can plunder that portion of the Dark Dragon's Reishi by suppressing evil.
However, before Satan's plan could be carried out, his immense power caught the eye of the young Yhwach, who subdued Yhwach and made him his mount. Later, he even split into seven Fairy Tale Dragon.
Yhwach's plan was to have Satan lure out the Gates of Hell in the moment when Tsuna's body relaxed after the battle, perhaps creating some unexpected trouble for Tsuna.
The power of Hell exists outside the Three Worlds system; it is a place that even Yhwach's the Almighty cannot reach. In Yhwach's view, the unknown power of Hell might be able to cause some harm to Tsuna.
What he didn't know was that Tsuna and Ichigo had already obtained powers Hell Derivation while they were in Hell, so the Hell Chains not only couldn't affect them, but could also be broken by them.
And so, the little trick Yhwach had left behind was easily neutralized by Tsuna and the others' prior preparations.
Yhwach's muttered question received no reply, of course. Awakening, he asked another question, "Haschwalth, where are we?"
"Your Majesty, we have already entered the space between the World of the Living and the Soul Society, and are searching for a suitable area to live in," Haschwalth replied respectfully.
"Remember, this time, don't let anyone go out freely again," Yhwach instructed, before falling back into sleep.
If the Quincy girl group hadn't exposed the existence of the Quincy army, they might still be stationed in that small town outside London.
Although marching wasn't particularly strenuous for Yhwach, he didn't want to move again and again, so this time Yhwach planned to hide somewhere no one could find him.
Under Yhwach's arrangement, the Quincy army entered what was actually the Dangai, and Haschwalth's task was to find a suitable space to survive within the Dangai.
Within the Dangai, there are countless tiny bubble-like spaces. These spaces are formed by the combination of Reishi that wander within the Dangai; they are called Valley of Screams.
The Valley of Screams varies in size and environment, but most importantly, it is well hidden. Unless someone actively reveals themselves, no one would suspect that the Quincy are hiding in the Valley of Screams.
While the Quincy were searching for a place to live in order to survive, Wolfgang and the others, after some discussion, decided to first bring the surviving London residents into Reverse London.
There's no way to survive in London right now. The water and electricity have been cut off, and there are no emergency supplies. People simply cannot survive there.
The residents of Reverse London were all deeply moved by what they saw, and their faith in the West Bureau immediately surpassed that of ordinary churches.
All personnel of the West Bureau, except for the Holy Affairs Team, were dispersed and tasked with leading the residents of London to rebuild their homes. Even Nini and Noelle were each assigned fifty people.
Ichigo is accompanying Orihime to the Holy Affairs Team. In addition to the Holy Affairs Team ' purification chants, Orihime's Soten Kisshun can also restore the Dark Dragon to normal. The only requirement is that Ichigo has to be Orihime's "energy bank".
Although the process was very difficult, Orihime was incredibly happy to be able to work alongside Ichigo.
Uryū went to help the Flute Squad, assisting in transporting the Chains Dark Dragon to the Holy Affairs Team's location. Chad was still lying in the Holy Affairs Team's ward due to indigestion.
Toshiro and Byakuya found a quiet room to recover their spiritual pressure, while Hirako and Ginjo received the highest honors from the West Bureau. As for Ginjo's visit to Tsuna, Tsuna had no time to deal with it for the time being, as he had more important matters to attend to.
In front of the temporary tent area, Tsuna's family, along with Tatsuki, were sitting by the flower bed.
"I'm sorry, Little Tsuna, your father and I have discussed it and decided that we'll stay in London for now," Sawada Nana said reluctantly.
After the night of London's apocalypse, Tsuna wanted his parents to let him return to Japan on the same flight as his classmates, but now the Sawada couple have changed their minds.
"Before, it was understandable that my colleagues didn't know about the existence of Reverse London, but now that everyone has come to Reverse London and is contributing to the development of London, I really can't leave," Iemitsu said earnestly, bowing his head.
He knew that Tsuna's previous suggestions were for their safety, but as the president of the company, he had a group of people working for him. In the face of disaster, he couldn't bear to leave alone. That's why he felt ashamed and went to his wife to come to Tsuna together.
To Iemitsu's surprise, Tsuna readily agreed, "Sure, I only have one request: if you encounter any danger, send me a signal immediately."
Just as Iemitsu said, his men learned of the existence of Reverse London, which meant the situation was changing, but Iemitsu wasn't the only one experiencing such changes.
Now that Tsuna wields the Night Flame, he can open wormholes within the same world to teleport to the location of any spiritual pressure he is familiar with. However, for inter-world teleportation, such as from the World of the Living to Hueco Mundo, he still needs to go through the Garganta.
While there's still a possibility that Tsuna and his parents might not be in the same world immediately, this is the optimal solution that Tsuna can accept, taking his parents' wishes into account.
With his son's support, Iemitsu jumped up excitedly, all the tension in his chest vanishing. He hugged Tsuna's shoulders and began to celebrate, "Yay! I thought you were going to force us to go back."
Iemitsu couldn't help but feel nervous. He had a son whose strength far surpassed his own, and he needed to consider Tsuna's thoughts more carefully when making decisions.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I fully support your decision!"
In fact, Tsuna himself had some considerations. He wanted to take his parents away because of the existence of the Quincy army, and London might not be safe.
After the search, Tsuna and his friends confirmed that the Quincy had abandoned their base in London. In addition, the Fairy Tale Dragon- level threat had been eliminated, so London was not in any immediate danger.
Conversely, Karakura Town isn't necessarily a safe place either. Yhwach has been keeping an eye on the Soul King Palace in Seireitei, and could launch an attack into Soul Society through Karakura Town at any time.
Furthermore, when Ginjo encountered him, Ginjo's first words were about finding Tsuna. Where is Ginjo's base? It must be in the World of the Living. If something had happened in Seireitei, it wouldn't be Ginjo coming to find him.
Therefore, Tsuna could more or less guess that something was wrong in Karakura Town, but the problem wasn't too big, and he still had time to deal with the matters in the West Bureau.
After careful consideration, Tsuna decided to go along with it and grant Iemitsu's wish to allow his parents to stay in London and participate in the reconstruction.
"That's great! My number one problem is solved, now I can consider the second one." Iemitsu waved his hand excitedly.
"What's the problem?"
"Our company has taken on part of the London reconstruction work. Considering the international impact, the West Bureau requires all buildings to be replicated one-to-one. Although the Development Squad has provided corresponding bird's-eye view drawings, it is not so easy to replicate every street and alley." Iemitsu frowned.
"It's okay, take your time," Nana comforted her.
Upon hearing Iemitsu's troubles, Tsuna had a sudden, ingenious idea.
