Chapter 519: Angel! The Kabbalah Tree of Life! Demon King! The Reverse Qliphoth Tree!
While Shiroyasha was observing Ren, he was also observing her. "Your Divine Authority is incomplete," he said.
"It seems the young man really knows a lot about me." Having been seen through, she closed her fan. "Unable to connect to Hakoniwa, I can't retrieve my authorities."
"You wouldn't attack me now, would you, Young Master Ren?"
This made him feel peculiar. "The famous White-Night Demon King is afraid I'll ambush you?"
"Hahaha, it's because I'm so weak now. I haven't properly played with Kuro Usagi's black stockings yet." Shiroyasha, in her loli body, adopted the posture of a perverted old man.
"Kuro Usagi's black stockings?" Ren's eyes lit up. "Let's play together sometime!"
"Oh?" she was momentarily stunned, then revealed a knowing smile. "A kindred spirit."
"Although I hate to interrupt, isn't it more important to deal with the matter at hand?" Kurumi pointed at the cold-faced Nia.
"This girl's situation is strange, like pure energy contaminated by negative energy," Shiroyasha immediately saw the essence of the inversion.
Ren said, "That's roughly it." Nia's inversion was from the All-Knowing Angel to the All-Knowing Demon King. Her Angel, Rasiel, had transformed into the Demon King, Beelzebub.
Reversing it was simple for him. With a thought, he manipulated the energy, and the black bloodstains on Nia's body faded, revealing her clean physique. The Spirit Crystal also reverted to its original form.
"He directly inverted her energy… direct manipulation," the sharp-eyed Shiroyasha discovered the essence of the power he used.
Ren acknowledged this but followed the spiritual power to its source. "The Kabbalah Tree of Life." He had seen to the very end of it. It wasn't a tree but a pattern of ten Sefirot and twenty-two paths in a void universe. At the same time, there was also the Reverse Qliphoth Tree.
[Inorin's Note: The Kabbalah and its inverse, the Qliphoth, are mystical diagrams in Jewish mysticism representing the nature of God and the universe. In Date A Live, they are the source of the Spirits' powers.]
The ten circles were the Sefirot, which the Angels and Demon Kings of the Spirits represented. Ren had seen through their scale; they had not yet reached the scale of the Imaginary Tree from March 7th's world. The powers were fixed and limited.
Ren turned his gaze to the immobilized Rosa. Her power was peculiar; she obtained the power of the Spirits she devoured. He pulled her forward telekinetically, placing his left palm on Nia's chest and his right on Rosa's.
"Young Master Ren, do you not only like beautiful girls but also middle-aged women?" Shiroyasha jested.
"I'm not that starved," he replied. Would I be interested in an old woman like her?
"...That..." The awakened Nia was confused. Although inverted, she still knew what had happened. She knew he was her savior. But she was confused about what he was doing now. Was it the legendary groping? If it's my savior… it should be okay, right?
"Don't think too much. I'm just doing an experiment," he sensed her thoughts and reminded her, giving her breast a little squeeze as he did.
"..." The embarrassing thing was, this girl had no assets. Alright, I am busy with serious matters.
He directly drew all the power of both Trees and transferred it to Rosa. This was tantamount to feeding her directly. Rosa, whose body was immobilized, initially tried to resist, but upon sensing the deliciousness, she couldn't and devoured it in large gulps.
"Hmm?" Shiroyasha, noticing the anomaly, narrowed her eyes. Since arriving, she had gathered a lot of intelligence. Rosa was likely the "Devourer." Although she hadn't figured out what that meant, since it was mentioned by the mysterious Chat Group, it must be special. Just like now, she had seen Ren's actions and Rosa's.
