CHAPTER 122: PSYCHIC AMPLIFIER ASSAULT

XENON WINGATE

PRESENT DAY - 6 HOURS BEFORE PSYCHIC AMPLIFIER’S ACTIVATION

Finding Cherry Island is difficult because it is hidden in thick clouds and mist. Elysian Ocean covers over an eighth of a planet, so even with our fleet of airships and dreadnoughts hovering and driving around the place, it took us twelve hours to finally see it. There it is, an island blooming with pink leaves and flowers of the sakura trees. As the ocean breeze blew out, we can see cherry petals spinning in midair as if it is an anti-gravity snowflake party.

“So that’s the Cherry Island?” Serena muttered as she looked at the target island on the viewing deck. The gentle ocean air flaps her long silky hair and kimono without end.

“It’s so beautiful, isn’t it?” I approached my lover. “Too bad that’s where the device is hidden. The Psychic Amplifier that is bound to end the world.”

“Xen…” Serena took a closer look at me. She touched my forehead while touching her own to check my body temperature. “Are you okay now?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s been twelve hours, and I had eight hour sleep. The hangover immediately wore off.” I said.

“No, I mean… your heart. I know that you’ve been feeling a little bit energetic, but don’t you think you find it weird?” Serena said in a worried tone.

“No worries, Serena.” I patted her head. “I may have a month left, but I don’t feel like dying.”

“That’s reassuring.” Serena made an innocent smile. Somehow, I can see that she’s really worried about my condition for some reason that she cannot tell. Sure, I only have a month left but I think I can still do much in my life. There are sick people who survived their terminal illnesses, so I think I’ll be rocking the statistic’s numbers up.

Suddenly, our peaceful conversation was immediately interrupted when the radio broadcast on our earpiece started. It’s Danielle’s voice.

“Senor, Mademoiselle, I hate to interrupt your moment but you have to see this.”

As soon as we heard that announcement, Serena and I nodded to each other and left towards the conference room. There, my friends Alphonse, Z, and the five Pentagram Knights are all present. The emperor is also there, at the central seat, administering the conference.

“Every officer now present?” Danielle said as she scanned our faces. When she noticed that nobody was missing, she started to press the remote control and gave us a presentation based on what they have observed from Cherry Island. “So let’s start. This is what our magnifiers detected on the island.”

The presentation contains various pictures of sakura trees, ruined shrines, abandoned cathedrals, and other features on the island. However, after a series of pictures, it finally revealed a building that stands out. It’s an ancient tower with a spiraling design, engraved with ancient scriptures that no one could ever decipher. Not even my father who is a scholar with ancient dragon history failed to know what this is all about.

But sticking all the facts and clues we have gathered all together, we can now conclude one terrible fact about this spiral tower.

“Is that…” The emperor muttered.

“That’s the Original Psychic Amplifier, your highness.” I said, “I know that it looks nothing like the Psychic Amplifiers Cheng Du has created, but believe me, that is the real thing. Cheng Du has been visiting this island ever since he started experimenting with that Psychic Amplifier device.”
