"Now Suzaku can never be summoned!" Miaka said, head down.

Everyone remained silent and deep in despair until Mitsukake spoke.

"Miaka, what were Taiitsu-kun's exact words?"

Miaka looked up, bewildered. Then, she started to repeat what she had
heard from the keeper of the Universe of the Four Gods. When she finished, she asked,

"That's it, Mitsukake. How could that help, though? Suzaku is sealed
away-"

Mitsukake silenced her with a wave of his hand. "Taiitsu-kun told you
that the Eighth Warrior could summon the God of his-or, her, rather."
Mitsukake said with an apologetic look at Nousatsu.

"Anyway, the warrior could summon any God of her choice, under any
circumstances. So, according to the Universe of the Four Gods, Nousatsu
should still be able to summon Suzaku!"

All eyes turned to Nousatsu.

"But how are we able to prove it?" she asked.

"Your characters should still show up on your body when you try to use
their powers," Tasuki replied. "Try to use them and see."

Nousatsu nodded and walked out of the throne room. Everyone followed
her.
She walked until she found a tree in a clearing. Raising her hands in
front of her, she whispered the spell;

"lekka shien!"

The bursts of fire that sprouted from her hands completely engulfed the
tree, consuming it whole. When the fire subsided, nothing of the tree
remained.

Nousatsu was already walking towards the seishi, characters gleaming
brightly and a smile upon her face.

"I think I can summon your God," she said. "Let's conquer evil, my
friends!"
