Chapter 501 To free Humanity
For a moment, there was silence. Kegaku could feel Erebos's gaze on him, weighing his request. Then, Erebos chuckled again, though this time there was a hint of something else—perhaps regret, or understanding. "As much as I would enjoy that, Griswald is needed for his connections more than anything else. The target is going to be Jade's future."
Back to Jade's hospital bed -
Jade watched as Rosa gave a final bow to Gojaro, who was also covered in bandages around his body. Jade wanted a moment and asked, "How is everyone anyways?
Gojaro turned to Rosa, his voice firm yet composed. "Please go meet with Master Ash and prepare for the council meeting. They'll be thrilled to hear that Jade is awake."
Rosa nodded, but a hint of concern flickered in her eyes. "Yes, but we can't expect her to attend the meeting, right?"
Gojaro's gaze shifted slightly, his expression thoughtful. "That all depends on her. We all know time isn't on our side. You saw that monster that spawned over New York, and Japan had a smaller scale of monsters that they managed to handle. Whatever light those Vale monsters sent piercing into the Earth... it's infected the planet.
And right now, we have no idea how much time we have."
Jade, having listened intently, finally spoke up as Rosa bowed and left the room. "What exactly are those... things? Since when could giant serpent monsters just emerge from the ground and attack New York like that? We saw it while dealing with that boy but had no idea what was happening."
Gojaro sighed, his brow furrowed. "That's a good question, one I don't have many answers to. But like you said, there's always an explanation somewhere. When that Angelic guy killed the bulky creature I was struggling with—"
Jade interrupted him, her tone sharp. "Bulky creature?"
Gojaro glanced at her, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Yeah, while you were busy fighting the boy, I was tangled up with a Vale monster. This one had thick wings and called itself a Harbinger."
Now that I've met him again... I think everyone naturally has the ability to absorb or have this 'energy' course through their veins."
She stared at her hands, noticing light blue streams running just beneath her skin, weaving through her blood like something that was there and not there at the same time.
Gojaro's eyes widened in surprise. "The white skeleton?" he echoed. "You met him again? Was it about your boyfriend?"
Jade nodded slightly. "Pretty much. I'm not sure why they're so obsessed with him, but I've been thinking... If Ty is so special, why didn't they take him when he was a kid? Why wait until after he died and was kidnapped? What happened that made them suddenly so concerned with him?"
Gojaro shrugged, his expression thoughtful. "Who knows? I guess time will tell, but I can see where you're getting at. They didn't even know we were under attack this entire time... so what's to say there aren't other 'Ty's' out there? Whatever made Ty special—or whatever is making him special—we risk unleashing that by destroying the crystal and severing every bond connected to it."
He paused, then shifted gears. "Which brings me to my next point... do you think you can stand?"
Jade, fumbling over her words, replied, "I... I guess. I don't feel too much pain right now, but why?"
"We have a summit conference to decide how to get the world up to speed and ready to handle the threats of the Kaiju—which is what we're labeling them, since the government has been studying the one Masabi killed," Gojaro explained. "This meeting will include world leaders from major countries like Japan, Germany, China, Europe, Asia, and some of our own divisions.
Not all of them know that there are those with... well, superpowers."
Jade started to protest, "Well, they aren't really superpowers—"
But Gojaro cut her off, raising a hand. "I know, but calling them that is the easiest way to explain it to others. And, in a way, they kinda are, regardless of whether you can explain it with science."
