Now, Shiki had a question in her mind.
It was well-known that the Ruin series of mechanical monsters were products of Khaenri'ah. The presence of Ruin Sentinels here in Enkanomiya, did it indicate that Khaenri'ah had visited here a long time ago?
Other regions could be explained by them wandering over, but Enkanomiya couldn't, as it had been sealed off. Therefore, they must have been here before.
As for why, Shiki didn't know. She hoped to find the answer in Enkanomiya.
Following the narrow passage to its end, a massive stone gate, about fifty meters high, appeared before her. Next to it was an instrument, and judging by the central groove, something needed to be placed inside.
Looking at the Orobas statue nearby, Shiki sighed softly.
Seals were easy to deal with; if they were gone, they were gone. But this door was different!
This thing had at least several thousand years of history. She was practically destroying cultural relics.
But there was nothing she could do. Sangonomiya Kokomi hadn't given her anything, so to get in, she could only…
Boom!
A electro element spear directly pierced a hole through the massive stone gate. With the continuously raging electro element, a gap just wide enough for Shiki to pass through was blasted open.
As soon as she passed through the stone gate, Shiki's eyes were filled with blinding white light.
She instinctively raised her hand to shield them, but how fast was light? Could it be blocked by a hand?
Because the light in the buffer zone was too dim, Shiki's eyes had increased their sensitivity to light to see better.
This caused the Mikoshi to directly blind her eyes when she entered Enkanomiya.
Of course, she wasn't truly blind; at most, it was like being hit by a flashbang.
"Ugh…"
Her eyes felt slightly sore, a bit like waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and turning on the light. However, under Shiki's strong adaptability, the soreness quickly disappeared.
Slowly lowering her hand, what met her eyes were three islands floating in the air, and the hundreds-of-meters-tall tower in the center, the Mikoshi.
"This light… it has warmth…"
Feeling the warmth emanating from all over her body, an expression of disbelief, for once, appeared on Shiki's face.
Whether it was firelight or a light bulb, from such a distance, setting aside whether one could feel its temperature, whether its light could illuminate such a wide area was already a question.
Yet, the light of the Mikoshi could easily illuminate such a vast space, and this was far from its limit.
This light and temperature, similar to the sun, only one thing in Shiki's impression fit the description: it was…
Nuclear fusion!
"Unbelievable… No wonder Khaenri'ah came to Enkanomiya…" Shiki murmured to herself.
This was nuclear fusion! On Earth before she transmigrated, there was no such stable nuclear fusion reaction; at most, it would last a few minutes.
As for the Mikoshi, she didn't know exactly how long it had been running, but it had certainly been thousands of years.
Shiki knew that some things here couldn't be viewed from an Earthly perspective, so the Mikoshi wasn't necessarily what was called nuclear fusion.
But even so, it was still astonishing. There was nothing on Earth that could run continuously for hundreds of years without supervision.
Lighting the Waypoint nearby, and looking at the Mikoshi which illuminated the entire Enkanomiya as if it were daytime, Shiki took a deep breath, then vanished from her spot.
When she reappeared, a Camera was in her hand.
That's right, Shiki wanted to photograph this breathtaking scenery. After the Enkanomiya matter was resolved, she would go back and show it to them properly.
Click!
After taking the photo, Shiki hung the Camera around her neck, then stepped onto the golden tomoe marks formed by electro element and walked step by step towards the Mikoshi.
Her purpose for coming to Enkanomiya this time was mainly twofold: first, to retrieve the bloodbranch coral to help Sangonomiya Kokomi complete her plan of deception, and second, to turn the entire Enkanomiya upside down.
She wasn't looking for those private rooms or anything like that, but rather the past events that had occurred on this continent.
After obtaining Raiden Makoto's electro element seed from the Sakura Tree, Shiki deeply understood that this world could not be viewed myopically through game settings.
There was still much she needed to understand, and Enkanomiya was one of them.
As for why she went to the Mikoshi first?
That was because, according to Sangonomiya Kokomi, the bloodbranch coral used to suppress the Bathysmal Vishaps was located beneath the Mikoshi.
Therefore, Shiki went to the Mikoshi first. After dealing with the bloodbranch coral, she would then be able to search for those historical secrets.
Although she didn't understand why the bloodbranch coral would be under the Mikoshi.
Along the way, Shiki looked at the desolate Enkanomiya, and a sense of sorrow inevitably arose in her heart.
This was the loss of a civilization. The light of the Mikoshi still seemed to speak of the prosperity from long ago, but now, under the warm light, there was only desolation.
"Sigh…"
"So, why is it a barrier again?"
Waving her hand to destroy the barrier covering the central floating island, Shiki continued walking towards the Mikoshi.
At the same time, Enjou, who was looking for books in the Library, let out a soft "Oh?"
"The barrier has been undone? And without my guidance? Are the people sent by Watatsumi Island this brave this time?"
Enjou felt a bit surprised, but the barrier being removed was a good thing after all. This way, he could go in and find the books he wanted.
"I hope I don't run into the people from Watatsumi Island. If they're this brave, I'll definitely be the one getting beaten, and it wouldn't be easy to explain."
Enjou strolled out of the Library, then saw the girl walking in the air with tomoe marks under her feet.
"My goodness!?"
Enjou was completely stunned. Such powerful electro element… Had Watatsumi Island surrendered to the Shogunate? Did they really ask electro element Shogun to help them find the bloodbranch coral?
The power of the Abyss didn't enhance his vision; he could only see someone walking in the sky, and judging by the figure, it was a female.
However, as a Chanter, his perception of elemental power was extremely keen, and the girl felt to him like a walking Mikoshi.
