Master of the Marvel Universe

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Tony.

"Tony, what is it?"

"He, why do you sound so listless? That's not like you."

"Everyone has a few bad days every month." Shen He spoke helplessly. "I've run into some trouble here that you can't help with."

"Alright, then I'll give you some good news to get you excited." Tony did not keep him in suspense any longer. "I think this virtual helmet might be able to help treat that girl named Shiki Ryougi on your end."

"...Are you serious!?" Shen He truly became a little excited.

"Of course. I specifically looked over her medical examination report. Her condition differs from that of a conventional vegetative patient. Her EEG still shows high-amplitude waves, which means she may simply be asleep rather than having completely lost her ability to think. I won't say more. I'll send you two laboratory replicas of the helmets, and you can try them yourself."

Tony had spent nearly all of the past few days studying the helmet.

And he knew how important Shiki Ryougi was to Shen He, so the moment he considered this possibility, he immediately called Shen He.

After hanging up, Shen He waited anxiously while unable to stop thinking about whether this might work.

According to the original setting, because Shiki Ryougi's consciousness could not perceive the outside world during her coma, she had instead continuously watched the inner Void. Thus, after constantly coming into contact with the concept of death within the Void, she awakened with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Shiki Ryougi Special Chapter

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were a terrifying ability.

Those who possessed this ability could see crack-like "Lines of Death" across the surfaces of most objects. Cutting along those lines would inflict damage that could neither be defended against nor healed.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception possessed by Shiki Ryougi were the finest among them, capable of killing even intangible things such as concepts, the future, and memories.

If Shiki Ryougi like that were paired with an enhanced body...

"Phew—"

Shen He let out a long breath, trying to dispel the tension in his heart.

Shiki Ryougi before him had already put on the helmet. He had also summoned Saiki Kusuo before finally putting on the other helmet himself.

"Start it."

He closed his eyes slightly.

At that moment, both sound and vision were stripped away, then replaced by a false world.

It was a boundless grassland. Shen He, dressed in simple white clothes, spotted at once the young woman before him wearing a dark crimson kimono.

The nervous unease in his heart suddenly calmed at that moment.

He slowly walked over and stopped before her. She was looking at him as well, obvious confusion in her eyes.

After all, she had only just emerged from that endless Void.

"Hello, Shiki Ryougi."

These were Shen He's first words upon meeting his idol.

"Where is this?"
