The Jōgan could purify the power of "gods," and gods were Ōtsutsuki, so purifying the fruit would be no problem either!
But this purification did not mean making something clean or pure. It meant erasing it at its source!
If destroying Taitō's will inside the fruit meant destroying the fruit itself, then the whole thing would be pointless!
After Chito voiced her concerns, Ryūshiki said with a grin, "That's why your big brother went to all this trouble to set up the Nine Pillars God Array!"
Chito said, "The Nine Pillars God Array? Wasn't that the pinnacle of the Ise Clan's civilization in the now-destroyed Ise Country? Where did you learn it?"
Ryūshiki said, "Hehe, my little sister knows so much. Been burying yourself in books all these years, huh? Don't tell me it was because of that joke I made back then..."
Two hundred years ago, the siblings had fallen out over a single remark from Ryūshiki: "If you're ugly, you should read more!"
Chito snapped, "D-don't flatter yourself! Don't think Lady Chito is such a shallow woman!!"
Ryūshiki said seriously, "I conducted archaeological research on the Ise..."
Chito lowered her eyes. "After the Ise were destroyed, Oni-shiki should have already cleaned up the planet where Ise Country was located!"
Ryūshiki said, "Yeah, Ise Country was gone long ago, but the Ise were a great clan outside our own, known as 'demigods.' They could migrate between planets and left traces of their civilization on many worlds. To reconstruct Ise civilization, I conducted comprehensive archaeological studies of the planets in the lower realm. Eventually, I gathered most of the fragments. As for the parts that had vanished completely, I filled those in with my own brilliance..."
Chito nodded. "I see..."
Though the Ise Clan's power fell short of the Ōtsutsuki's,
