Chapter 1236: Chapter 838 Collective Unconscious Chapter 1236: Chapter 838 Collective Unconscious “PERSONA!”

Akechi Goro raised his right hand, and as he did, the Demon behind him drew its sword and swung it down at Duanmu Ai.

Die!

At that moment, Akechi Goro’s face bore a ferocious smile; he was quite clear that, with this power, he was almost no different from the Electronic Demon in this world; ordinary people were no match for him. Even the Demon Summoners who controlled the Electronic Demon, once without the Electronic Demon by their side, were nothing more than ordinary people!

Then, under Akechi Goro’s watchful eyes, Duanmu Ai slowly gripped her War Hammer and smashed it directly at the sword that seemed even larger than herself!

“Bang!”

The two forces collided, but what happened next stunned Akechi Goro–his Demon’s great sword was broken into two pieces by the opponent’s War Hammer, followed by a huge force that struck, and the next moment, Akechi Goro’s Demon crumbled, and he screamed as he flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

“Ugh——–!”

It was only when he felt a burning sensation on his back that Akechi Goro came to his senses. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, staring at the ceiling above him–his entire body was in searing pain, as if someone had smashed every single bone in his body with a hammer.

“Is that all?”

Following that, Duanmu Ai’s voice, filled with mockery, sounded by Akechi Goro’s ear.

“You dare to mess with me with just this little ability?”

“How can this be…”

Akechi Goro clenched his teeth, desperately trying to lift his head, but all he saw was Duanmu Ai’s contemptuous gaze–was it all over just like that? The power he had finally obtained, why, why did he lose to such a woman?

“Why?”

“Because you are weak, idiot.”

Duanmu Ai swung her War Hammer, looking at Akechi Goro with a half-smiling expression.

“This level of power is barely comparable to the Electronic Demon; you thinking to win against me is just wishful dreaming.”

“Who exactly are you? Ordinary people don’t possess this kind of power…”

“That’s none of your business.”

While saying this, Duanmu Ai reached out to grab Akechi Goro by the neck, lifting him up and then smashing him heavily against the wall, her deep blue eyes emitting a cold murderous intent.

“Alright, boy, tell me everything you know. Where did your power come from, what does Shishi Seigi intend to do with Cognitive Psychology? Don’t tell me you don’t know, you just made it very clear, it’s obvious you know everything about this place.”

“………”

Akechi Goro clenched his teeth, turning his head away; it wasn’t over yet, he hadn’t surrendered, as long as he could leave this place…

“Bang!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

The War Hammer heavily smashed into Akechi Goro’s right hand, turning his palm into a bloody, mangled mess, the shattered bones and flesh embedding into the wall’s indentation. He desperately tried to struggle, but at this moment, Akechi Goro’s bones felt as if they were completely shattered, not responding at all.

“Answer my question, or let’s see how much longer you can last.”

“What, what do you want to know?”

At this moment, Akechi Goro had completely lost the graceful demeanor he had on TV; instead, his face was covered with twisted pain and despair, tears streaming down, snot streaking across.

“Everything, first, how did you obtain this power? How did you enter this world? Also, what exactly is Shishi Seigi plotting?”

“My power… I discovered it by accident…”

“By accident?”

“Yes, I remember… I heard a rumor on late-night TV, saying that when someone is shown on the late-night TV, they will die. At that time, I just thought it was nonsense, just an urban legend. But once, accidentally, I entered this world from the TV, and then my PERSONA awakened…”

“What exactly is this ‘PERSONA’ you speak of?”

“I don’t know, I only know that when I awakened this power, the word automatically popped into my head, telling me that what I was using is ‘PERSONA’…”

“Continue.”

“My approach to Shishi Seigi was simple, because… he is my father.”

“Oh?”

That was indeed an unexpected revelation.

“You two are father and son?”

“That’s right, although I think he doesn’t know, because my mother was that man’s mistress, and when I was born, that man, fearing that my mother and my existence would affect his future, abandoned us! After that, I’ve lived a cursed life until I awakened this power, and then, I believed my time for revenge had come!”

“Revenge? But didn’t you say you were working for Shishi Seigi before?”

“Hmph!”

Hearing Duanmu Ai’s question, Akechi Goro turned away.

“That man doesn’t know who I am, in fact, at first, I truly considered annihilating him in his inner world. However, at that time, I learned something from his inner mind–Shishi Seigi was having conflicts with the members of the ruling party, the latter fabricating evidence to frame him, so I came up with an idea, I could take this opportunity to approach Shishi Seigi, become his assistant. After that, I would help him reach the position he desired.”
