those countless deaths and countless births,
Insert: Utsuro captured----
Title: Lesson 594 Release
Utsuro: I created countless selves.
I made countless 'Utsuros'.
But even after dying and being reborn over and over,
the pain didn't end.
No matter how I resisted, trying to change my blood-stained destiny,
my suffering didn't end.

Page 4:
Utsuro: So I killed.
As Utsuro, immersing myself in slaughter on and on to try to become human,
and as Yoshida Shouyou
resisting on and on to try to stop slaughter and change to become human.
To kill all of me
and put an end to everything.

Page 5:
Tendoushuu: In other words, Utsuro,
your goal is the demise of your immortal self.
If that is the case then, that is a pity.
We will investigate that power and if we can make use of it, we will... the universe will seek further evolution.
Utsuro: If you find a way to kill me,
I don't mind if you chop my body into pieces and do an analysis on every last drop of blood.

Page 6:
Utsu: I just want my heart to stop.
I'm a man that does not know how to end his own life,
but as for how to tear my arms from these shackles,
and how to put an end to your ridiculous games you call experiments,
I am quite knowledgeable.
In fact, I would say I'm knowledgeable on how to end
just about anyone on earth besides myself.
And
if someone desired this immortal power,
I also know
how to give it to them.
You don't need to do something dramatic like this. If you have an interest in my power,
then I am more than willing to cooperate. ...But in return

Page 7:
Utsuro: I want you to give me power as well.
SFX: BASA
Utsuro: Enough power
to destroy me.
Oboro: ----That person used his own immortality as bait
to get into the bosom of the Tendoushuu. And before long, he climbed his way up to that position of prominence.
The Tendoushuu greatly sought after Utsuro's power, but far greater
was their fear of him.
It was surveillance that was given the name conciliation.
The Tendoushuu gave that person that status,
but they did not go as far as giving him the rights that came with it.

Page 8:
Oboro: The special rights that no one in the entire universe but the Tendoushuu possess.
That is, the power to control the Altana at will.
Takechi: That is what Utsuro sought.
The Altana Preservation Society, or in other words the Tendoushuu,
is an organization that manage the planet's 'Altana'
and wields enormous power because they are in sole possession of it.
On each planet there are vents called 'holes', or Dragon Holes, which are controlled by gates
cannot be activated or stopped without the Tendoushuu.
What makes that possible
are the carved seals on their palms called 'Keys'.
They are proof only given to the highest echelon of the organization, the Tendoushuu as well as codes that can open and close those gates.

Page 9:
Takechi: I will refrain from going into the exact process, but the consensus of the entire Tendoushuu is required in order for one to obtain a key.
And once a Key is engraved, it is impossible to remove.
At the moment a Key is engraved a circuit connects from it to the heart. And if this is torn off, it will lead to death.
Also in a situation where one who possesses a key dies, the 'Key' will vanish.
In other words, without official permission from the Tendoushuu, it is impossible to obtain a key.
Utsuro cannot control the Altana.
...Or so we thought.
Tendou: Did you receive notification,
Utsuro?
While you were out on your campaign, quite an alarming event occurred.

Page 10:
Ten: The Altana of Planet Tankou has gone out of control.
The gate and the terminal were annihilated in an instant.
The organization branch managing it was destroyed as well.
We do not have a firm grasp on the level of the damage, but we believe it to be devastation of a level unprecedented in the organization's history.
Utsu: What caused such an accident?
Ten: It was no accident.
We received notification before the loss of control occurred
that those at the gate were defending against a military unit of unknown identity.
This was clearly a rebellion against us.
Utsu: So you say that the loss of control was manmade?
In that case, the only ones who could do such a thing are...
Ten: Yes.

Page 11:
Ten: Those who possess a Key to freely manipulate the Altana,
we, the Tendoushuu.
Utsu: If there is a traitor among us,
then where would he get a military unit to obey him?
Ten: True, seeing that we are in possession of the gates in every country, they are under our control.
And as it was a gate which was taken hostage, there is none among us that would do such a thing.
But as that military force not attached to any particular country,
it could have, for example,
been something like the pirates you came into possession of, Utsuro,
In this campaign you were on with Harusame under your jurisdiction, your goal was to use them to clean up some rebel forces, were you not?
What were the results? Not only did you not return carrying the heads of the insurgents, you lost half of the Harusame forces under your command.

Page 12:
Ten: But if that lost half of Harusame
was used for a different objective,
and this battle itself was bait meant to deceive us of the Tendoushuu
and secretly moving the other half of Harusame to capture the Tankou gate,
making the Altana go out of control,
and destroying the planet was your true goal...
-----Utsuro,
how did you steal the Key?

Page 13:
Utsuro: ..........
I have not stolen a thing.
I have simply given.
That immortal blood
just as all of you desired.
And in exchange for that immortality,
you all have let go of
quite a bit.
The Keys no longer belong only to you.
If it's taken, you die. If you die, it is lost.
Those keys which were supposed to never to be 'taken off the premises',
became something that does not die even if taken, something that is not lost even if it dies,
an indestructible Key.
I picked up a key that you all dropped.

Page 14:
Ten: You bastard.
Could it be...?
Whooo?!!
Who would hand a Key over to that man?!
Do you know just what those Keys are?!!
Utsuro: You all desired far too much blood.
My blood is undoubtedly 'immortal blood'.
But that blood only first becomes stable when it flows in an 'immortal body'.
So even if you obtain the blood, your bodies are not immortal.
It's like pouring boiling magma into a brittle container.
And what's more, you all filled yourselves to the brim with it.
The containers, your bodies, are beginning to dissolve, no?
Not just your arms, before long your legs
and your heads will fall off as well.
But even if your souls taste enough pain to make them disappear,

Page 15:
Utsuro: You cannot die.
It cannot end until those bodies completely rot away.
Ten: Utsuro, you bastard!!
You told me that if I gave you a key, you would find a way to save us!!
.......Madness, to think that there were this many traitors...
Utsu: So then, as for stolen keys,
there are some. Quite a few in fact.
I expect you'll receive notification soon.
That the exact same number of Keys that you all have lost

Page 16:
SFX: DON
Utsu: is the number of planets
that have been destroyed.

Page 17:
Utsu: And
those that survived will think
that they will never forgive us, the Tendoushuu.
Those on other planets will think
that we cannot be entrusted with the gates.
They will be here before long.
To Earth, where we, the Tendoushuu, dwell.
Ten: Y...
You bastard...!
Do you intend...
to start a universe-scale war?!!

Page 18:
Utsu: I am a monster that this planet created.
As long as I devour the Altana that drifts in this world
I cannot die.
My suffering,
your suffering,
and the enormous amount of suffering
that continues to manifest again and again on this planet
will not end
as long as this planet exists.
So then all we need to do
is put an end to the planet.

Page 19:
Oboro: Releasing the Altana from the control of the Tendoushuu
and bringing a universe-scale loss of control and war.
That is Utsuro's goal.
Disciples of Shouyou,
Yoshida Shouyou lost his fight against that person, Utsuro.
But that resistance,
that soul, is still here.
You, the ones that resist,
defeat Utsuro.
