Chapter 490: The Nine Provinces Barrier Weakens Again
Facing this overwhelmingly powerful force rushing directly at him, Hakuto showed no panic whatsoever. No matter how strong this force was, what use was it if it couldn’t hit him?
Instantly, a giant magical beast emerged from the shadow beneath Hakuto’s feet. This magical beast opened its mouth and directly swallowed the mass of blood mist. The next moment, this magical beast instantly exploded.
However, Hakuto had already disappeared in that instant. After he vanished, that force exploded directly, destroying the entire island. In an instant, the island seemed to have been erased from existence. A huge semicircular depression appeared on the ocean’s surface, and Hakuto was now in the sky.
“What exactly was that thing?”
Hakuto knew very well that if he had been hit by that tremendous force, he would most likely have died as well. But what he couldn’t figure out was what that thing actually was.
“Whatever. Never mind. Now that Calypso is dead, things will be much easier for me. To find the Puffer Whale… goddamn Calypso!!!”
Hakuto suddenly felt as if something had grabbed him by the throat; his voice changed completely at the end!!!
As the entire island was erased, a black hole appeared right where the island had been. Hakuto’s expression changed instantly. That bitch Calypso’s final power had actually blown a hole in the Nine Provinces Barrier!
Now, things from outside the world were like flies swarming toward an egg that had just cracked. In an instant, a massive, entirely white creature squeezed in from outside the world.
Hakuto slashed at it directly with his blade. After being cut, the massive creature didn’t die but instead kept regenerating.
“Menos Grande?”
Looking at this creature, Hakuto realized what it was.
A Menos Grande from the Bleach World!
Upon seeing Hakuto, a red glow began to gather in this Menos Grande’s mouth. Hakuto knew it was about to use a Cero.
“Conqueror’s Haki Infusion!”
Hakuto swung his blade again. This time, with overwhelming willpower, soul power, and spiritual power, he instantly annihilated the Menos Grande.
But this Menos Grande was only the first creature to come through from the other side. If this hole wasn’t sealed, things from outside the world would continuously pour through it into this world. It was so damn frustrating.
‘That son of a bitch Calypso had actually blown a hole in the Nine Provinces Barrier at the very end!’
Hakuto’s expression was grim, but he didn’t step away. He immediately took out his phone and notified others to come and help. At the same time, he asked Lucoa if there was any way to repair this breach.
Before long, Lucoa and the others appeared before Hakuto. Looking at the dark hole, Lucoa said to him, “Generally speaking, the Nine Provinces Barrier has self-repairing properties. But given how weak the Nine Provinces Barrier is now, repairing such a breach will inevitably weaken the overall integrity of the barrier.”
“Now this is the only way.”
Lucoa added at the end. Hakuto’s expression was grim. “If we use this method, how much longer can the Nine Provinces Barrier hold?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe half a year, maybe less?”
Towering rage flashed in Hakuto’s eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it and said, “Repair it. I will find the remaining two pieces of Legendary Cooking Utensil in the shortest possible time.”
Lucoa nodded. Then, visibly, the breach was gradually being filled.
As the breach was filled, Hakuto breathed a slight sigh of relief. But the next moment, Lucoa’s words made his heart, which had just settled, rise again.
“The Nine Provinces Barrier can now last at most another month. After three months, the Nine Provinces Barrier will…”
Lucoa’s expression was somewhat unnatural. The barrier failing also meant her true body…
“What will happen to your true body if the Nine Provinces Barrier breaks?”
Hakuto suddenly asked Lucoa. Lucoa was silent for a moment, then told him, “I will die from exhaustion.”
“Give me a week. If I haven’t found the Legendary Cooking Utensil after a week, we will dismantle the Nine Provinces Barrier. Then let Ophis rebuild it.”
“As for what happens in between… we’ll do our best. At the very least, rebuilding the Nine Provinces Barrier is better than leaving it unmanaged.”
Lucoa nodded upon hearing this.
“Although Ophis’s power is on the same level as mine, because she is the Snake of Infinity, symbolizing infinity, her power is also infinite.”
Hakuto nodded, then looked at Lucoa. “One week. During this time, if anything happens, just give up. You surviving is the most important thing. Understand?”
“Don’t worry, I understand.”
Only then did Hakuto nod. He picked up his phone and sent a text message.
After sending the message, Hakuto let out a long sigh. “One week. I don’t know if we’ll make it in time. The worst outcome is that we don’t find the Legendary Cooking Utensil after a week, and then the Nine Provinces Barrier breaks. Then countless things from outside the world will flow into this world—good and bad. This world will no longer be as peaceful as it is now.”
Although Hakuto said he didn’t care, he also didn’t want his life to become a chaotic mess. Unfortunately, there was no choice in the matter; this kind of thing didn’t bend to his will.
“Don’t worry. Think positive. If the Nine Provinces Barrier really breaks, then it’ll be time to take out that thing from Tushan again.”
Thinking about the thing he had placed in Tushan, a helpless expression appeared on Hakuto’s face.
“So let’s go back. Finding the Legendary Cooking Utensil is no longer just my problem alone.”
Hakuto had originally thought he could find the Legendary Cooking Utensil within this limited time, but now… forget it.
It was better to mobilize the whole world to search. If they weren’t willing, then don’t blame Hakuto for washing his hands of the matter.
Hakuto could still protect one area without issue. As for what happened elsewhere, he couldn’t care less.
