A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

As Sanzou, Goku, and Hakkai go off in search of "God" (and Gojyo on the side), Gojyo makes it to a mysterious set of stairs that seem to stretch on forever. In the eerie mist that develops, he is attacked by an illusion of his mother, and eventually makes it to the top. There "God" (who falls apart into beads when attacked) greets him and they battle. This "God" character is also known as Sanzou Houshi, so apparently there are more than one "Sanzou Houshi". Like any monk that was raised in the same temple as Sanzo. Eventually, the rest of the team makes it up the mysterious set of stairs, fight off a fake Gojyu, and join the real Gojyu in the fight against "God". "God" is a very odd fellow, who considers all those weaker than him (which is pretty much everyone) to be his toys to play with. After first avoiding their attacks, "God" lashes out with a single attack that crushes the entire team of heroes. They retreat to recover from the loss and prepare for the final confrontation.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A set of twins barge in our heroes, one which is transformed into a monster. While Goku and Hakkai are sucked into the twin's magical gourd, Sanzou and Gojyo set off a hunt for the twin. They find that the demon twins escaped from their village and were taken under the wing of "God", a mysterious figure who granted them whatever they wanted. However, as punishment for one of the twins, Ginkaku, wanted to run away, he transformed him into a monster and convinced his brother to kill "bad guys" in order to return him to normal. In the end, "God" appears to finish off the two of them, because he considers them "toys" which he free to do whatever he wants to them. Deeply disturbed by the murder of the two innocent boys, Gojyo runs off without the others the next morning. The last chapter of the volume gives a sneak peak into the past of our main characters from ten years ago. Goku trapped in his stone cage, Gojyo being ignored by his insane mother, a sullen Hakkai in an orphanage, and Sanzou with his first gun.
