The King's Orb is a blue crystal.
There are a total of twelve of these things, engraved with the same crest as the magic circle of the King's Court.
According to legend, this object was created by the king of a great kingdom that existed a very, very long time ago in this world-a kingdom whose name has now disappeared from history-by collecting the power of the stars, and it possesses the power to grant wishes!
However, this power, in the legend, comes with a price.
The greater the wish you make, the equivalent amount of things you must lose.
Furthermore, the King's Orb itself carries a curse. Initially, it only caused misfortune to the holder, but later, it seems a few incidents occurred throughout history, making the curse carried by the King's Orb stronger and stronger-to the extent that those who used the power of the King's Orb basically lost their lives not long after making the wish, and then the King's Orb gradually vanished without a trace.
However...
"The matter of the King's Orb should just be a legend... A great kingdom whose name is unknown, if this kingdom even possessed something like the King's Orb, then why did they not leave any traces in this world, and why did they only leave behind the King's Orb without even a name? Moreover, a stone that grants wishes is also not very credible..."
Erina raised an eyebrow.
"To be honest, even if you were to use this to trick children now, modern children probably wouldn't believe such a thing."
This statement was only possible because Togami Byakuya was a member of the Togami family.
Otherwise, Erina might have already turned and walked away-after all, talking about the King's Orb... it was like suddenly claiming to be the reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga and asking her for money to help you unify the world...
It could be said that Erina still analyzing this rationally was already a show of respect for the name Togami.
Togami Byakuya had long anticipated this.
"Let me make it clear first: I am not joking, nor do I intend to deceive you-when I first saw the King's Orb, I was also very surprised, and I didn't believe that a mere stone could contain strange power."
Speaking of this, Togami Byakuya narrowed his eyes.
"But when I saw that anyone who directly touched the object without wearing a protective suit, which was made based on the analysis of the energy emitted by the King's Orb, immediately turned into black powder and disappeared into the air, even I had to believe that thing was the King's Orb."
"Moreover, after we obtained the King's Orb, we conducted extensive related investigations regarding the issue of the great kingdom that vanished into history, which you mentioned... Let me ask you, can you still remember the name of the fourth largest consortium that still existed a few decades ago in this country?"
Erina shook her head.
"I honestly can't remember, but that's just because I haven't deliberately tried to learn about it..."
"No."
Togami Byakuya shook his head.
"Even if you tried to learn about it, you still wouldn't be able to know the name of that fourth largest consortium-we didn't realize this at first either, until we obtained the King's Orb. Then, during our research, we found that the fourth, and now vanished, consortium that was once listed alongside our Togami family as one of the four largest consortiums seemed to have obtained the King's Orb before it disappeared, and they had been studying this object since then."
"Our thought at the time was the same as yours now: although we couldn't remember exactly which consortium it was, we felt that if our Togami family deliberately tried to find out, we definitely could-until we actually investigated, even conducted a large-scale search, but found that there was no record of that fourth consortium's name anywhere in the world. That consortium was as if a collective hallucination experienced by the people of this country!"
"Basically, anyone of a certain age knows that the four largest consortiums once existed, but in reality, no one knows the name of that consortium, what they did, or what their assets were-even in commercial records, no mention of that fourth consortium was found... Don't you think this is very similar to the situation of the great kingdom that we now only know existed but whose name is unknown?"
Furthermore...
"-They also once held the King's Orb!"
Hearing Togami Byakuya say this, Erina's frown deepened.
"Fine... then, let's take a step back and assume the King's Orb and the great kingdom truly exist-even so, wouldn't it be a good thing for you that the King's Orb, which only brings disaster, was stolen by someone else?"
Togami Byakuya shook his head.
"If it had been stolen by someone else, we might not have said anything, but having it stolen by Izuru Kamukura is not acceptable-this relates to the question you asked me earlier: why we created Izuru Kamukura."
Speaking of this, Togami Byakuya sighed.
"The wish-granting King's Orb... Even knowing that using this object might have immense consequences, when you actually possess it, you will certainly have some hidden motives. The Togami family is no exception to this."
"But the King's Orb's initial curse might have only been to cause misfortune to the holder. However, when we discovered the King's Orb, its power had changed to the extent that merely direct contact would kill a person. Contact required wearing a special protective suit, and storage required a special isolating container... Naturally, such a King's Orb couldn't be used. But during that time, we discovered some of the research findings of that fourth consortium that had vanished."
"Thinking back now, being able to notice the issue of the fourth consortium, to investigate their intelligence, and even to obtain their name and research findings... Such a thing must have been a wish that our Togami family unconsciously made to the King's Orb."
"And then Izuru Kamukura went berserk, the Ultimate Despair was born in the experimental base, and now only I am left of the Togami family... This should be the price paid for that wish made unintentionally at that time."
Togami Byakuya slowly closed his eyes.
He steadied himself for a good while, and then opened his eyes again and continued:
"The information we obtained from the experimental records of the vanished consortium named Kaiba was that the power of the King's Orb must be activated by a member of the Royal Family. The curse on the King's Orb is only ineffective against members of the Royal Family, and only the Royal Family can use this wish-granting stone without a price."
"However, there is an exception to this... Our Togami family had no clue about the Royal Family, and the Kaiba Group probably didn't have a clue about the words 'Royal Family' back then either, so they researched another way to use the King's Orb's power."
"-Overcoming the curse. If an existence with talent seen only once in a thousand years could overcome the curse on the King's Orb, then they might even be able to purify the curse on the King's Orb!"
"It was because of this that we, who were infected to the point of madness by those three words, 'wish-granting stone,' built the experimental base and fully began the project named 'Human God.'"
"We collected a large number of talented individuals from around the world. We even found a lucky fellow who was suspected to be a member of the Royal Family, and even Nanami sent her daughter to the experimental base..."
"Under these circumstances, Izuru Kamukura was born, went berserk, and finally, he and the two Ultimate Despair stole the King's Orb, and left our Togami family in this current state."
Speaking of this, Togami Byakuya looked at Erina very seriously.
"I know you might still not believe me, and since the data from the experimental base was destroyed, I can't provide any relevant evidence, but this matter is truly serious..."
"A person with invincible power and infinite talents, who also possesses this wish-granting stone that can make one's desires come true... And such a person is now acting with those we define as the Ultimate Despair... This is an issue that cannot be ignored for the entire world."
"Therefore, I hope... No, I implore your Totsuki Group for help! Or rather, we need Mr. Yuki's power!"
The usually arrogant Togami Byakuya lowered his head for the first time.
Erina looked at him like this, frowning.
To be honest, she still didn't quite believe this... story that Togami Byakuya told her.
After all, what Togami Byakuya said was too... well, too bizarre!
However, Togami Byakuya had no reason to lie to her, and it was even less likely that he would try to mess with her in this situation...
In that case...
"Eh, I'll temporarily believe you-but whether we help or not, talking to me won't work. Wait for Jaden to return. After Jaden returns, I'll talk to him about it, and then we'll discuss whether our Totsuki Group will help..."
Finally, Erina gave this reply.
