Chapter 72: Unveiling the Truth

They reached an old temple, hidden deep within the forest. Makama and Simba stood at the entrance, waiting for Issei to catch up.

“This is where it all began,” Simba said, his voice more solemn now. “The Oppai Gear you wield is part of a lineage that spans across worlds. The true power it holds can reshape reality itself. And with that power comes great responsibility.”

Issei frowned. “What do you mean, reshape reality?”

Makama stepped forward. “You think you’ve been fighting for yourself all this time, don’t you? That’s cute. But the reality is, the power of the Oppai Gear is linked to the very fabric of all realms. It’s not just a tool; it’s a key. And if you don’t control it, it will control you.”

Issei clenched his fists. “So what? I’m supposed to just give up on everything? Let the power take me over?”

Makama’s eyes narrowed. “No. You need to embrace it. You need to become one with it if you’re ever going to control it. But be warned, Issei… Not everyone has the strength to do so.”

Simba nodded. “Makama’s right. The power is dangerous. But there’s another reason we brought you here. You’re not the only one looking for the portal.”

“It’s starting.” Simba said. “We need to prepare. Someone’s coming.”
