times.
This scene was viewed for times.
(This is the English translation by me, AKIDA Yamakusa, of v1.0 of the Chinese version.)
Ryu spoke with a frightened voice, "Madam, it isn't true that you had added some drugs or charms into the rice dumplings, is it? " "PAAK!" After Anna applied her 'legendary left hand' on Ryu, she dropped herself into deep thoughts.
Manta also noticed the inkling in HAO's speech and got himself into serious thinking. "Oh! " Manta did have a good brain. Now that he had overcome his problem of easily falling into hysteria, he was like another person, and not that hysteric Manta anymore. "You mean that Chou.Senjiryakketsu (AKIDA: my translation to this title is "super book on divination, tactics and decision making") was the medium you use for the reincarnation?!"
"Good job there, the talented shaman. My expectations on you are very justified, indeed, Manta, " HAO sat up, and smiled to Manta.
(AKIDA: in the anime, Manta was alone with HAO (and Opacho) for several times, but HAO didn't do anything to HAO like kidnapping Manta, and even used relatively friendly tone to hint at the fact that Manta was in fact a very talented shaman. In the anime, Manta had never received any shaman training but he was able to use his laptop as a medium and cast powerful oversouls with Mosuke for 3 times; Manta was the only person who was able to avoid HAO's followers (who were trying to kill all of Yoh's friends) and followed HAO closely in the sacred area of the Star.)
The crowd roared.
HAO, sitting up straight, spoke with a serious voice, "Actually, many ancestors of the Patch were in fact, Asakuras. "
"What?! " the crowd continued to roar.
"After Yoh-oh died, the Asakuras formed a secret team of shamans to find the collection of all the souls on Earth described by Hao. Nothing was heard about them since then, and therefore those Asakuras that remained in Japan thought that the mission was failed and thought the Great Spirit was just a madman's imagination. " If seemed that HAO really liked surprised faces because HAO continued with a stressed tone, "But in fact that team did found, in a far away place which is now called the United States, the gigantic collection of spirits, and they even acted according to His will, and stayed there as His guardian. "
"Oh? " Anna and Ren showed their lack of trust in HAO in unity.
HAO smiled at Anna and Ren, observed others' responses and then laughed cunningly, "Well, actually, it was that team of Asakuras who wanted to own the Great Spirit exclusively, and therefore stayed in the America, raped the girls of the local people to get the next generation, so that they could stop all who tried to approach the sacred land. "
Ren was very angry. With bulged eyes, he hit the table heavily and cursed, "Bastard! "
Tamao said in a low voice, "Then it's the Asakuras who discovered America..."
HAO laughed, "No, sorry, Miss Tamamura. It's some people who lived in some islands in the Pacific Ocean. " The group silently digested what HAO spoke. "And it's 2000 years ago, not to mention that. " (AKIDA: if it's wrong, please email me at [email protected])
"But discovery should be bi-directional, " Anna commented.
HAO shrugged, "The team brought a hand-copied duplication of the 'Chou.Senjiryakketsu' with them."
Pilika asked, "And therefore you could reincarnate as a Patch person 500 years ago? But why on earth can a book be so powerful? "
HAO answered promptly, "Because of oversoul. I lived in and use the book as the medium in the form of oversoul, waiting for the chance that comes every 500 years. With these two copies, I could even freely travel around the two place by wrapping! " HAO continued with a graceful smile, "As usual, I would give those morons some good stuffs and helped them at the suitable times so that they have to keep this medium protected and kept.
The room was silent. This meal was really heavy...
"However, it might be due to the fact that those barbarous DNA of those local tribes had washed out some of the power of the Asakuras', my Furyoku (AKIDA: this is something that can be roughly translated to 'shamanic power' and is used as the 'energy source' of oversouls in this story) 500 years ago was actually weaker than the pure-breed Asakuras from Japan. The oversouls I casted to protect myself was destroyed before I completed my baptism process. I was just that one step away from being the Shaman King before I actually succeeded... However, this made it clear that I MUST get a pure-breed Asakura body."
"In this 500 years of waiting, really, a lot of things had happened... " HAO said with a voice of slight sadness and exclamation, "With the boom in the development of communication technology, values and culture of human beings had changed with a tremendous speed, and the importance of shamanism decreased significantly. And then, because of me, the Patch really, slowly, thought that they WERE the guardians of the Great Spirit -- you are right -- all the crafts and shamanic technology of the Patch were taught by me, in secret. What they claimed to be 'the will of the Great Spirit', was actually MY WILL. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...."
