Angewomon's True Strength

"What? You're not joking, are you?"

Dongfang Yu was startled. This was getting a little ridiculous.

Why did it feel like someone had arranged everything so perfectly? He didn't like that feeling at all.

"When I tested the black pearl just now, I failed because a force stopped me. It was a force I do not possess. It isn't strong, but I can't neutralize it. If I forcibly destroy it, the pearl itself may be destroyed as well," Angewomon explained.

"And then?" Dongfang Yu asked.

What she meant was the lock. She could forcibly destroy it, but everything inside the lock would be destroyed too.

If that happened, his inheritance would be ruined.

"Then I tested the Sea God's Heart and understood. The force preventing me was this world's Divine Power. In other words, I can borrow the power of this world's gods to neutralize the force blocking me. It would be like using poison against poison. Do you understand now?" Angewomon asked, looking at him.

"This... what does that have to do with that person plotting things?" Dongfang Yu still didn't understand something.

If this world's Divine Power could dissolve the seal, then there should have been plenty of ways to do it.

"That's the terrifying part. I calculated it carefully—the Divine Power in the Sea God's Heart is exactly enough to neutralize the Divine Power within the black pearl. Not a fraction more, not a fraction less."

"What!" Dongfang Yu was truly shocked this time.

He had no choice but to believe it now. The other party had calculated everything about him to the letter.

If this was a coincidence, he would rather believe Mars had crashed into Earth.

"What a terrifying person."

"So, are you going to open the inheritance now?" Angewomon asked.

"Let me think."
