Thanks for the chapter

Similar to Tsukasa's regeneration ability, there's also a TV series that I loved called Forever: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3487382/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_q_Forever
Aaand Deadpool.

I know that Nasa is genius and would certainly find a way to make Tsukasa normal human begin again (otherwise she would be eternal virgin due to regeneration), I can't imagine how he inferred it from the fact that hair barette holds the same properties? I don't see the connection, Sherlock

Finally her hair hair accessory is addressed! It has been with her the whole time after all.
I think that she unintentionally transferred a bit of her power to the hair clip because it was very dear to her. Returning her body back to normal means transferring all of her power into something else making it completely indestructible.

It was written in the data Tokiko left that it also regenerates

imagine dropping a nuke on Tsukasa. There won't be anything left to regenerate lol. 🗿

As creepy as it sounds, the decoded report mentions Tsukasa being entirely vaporized somehow and still being able to regenerate. They probably did not use a nuke to test that, but for her the difference is likely irrelevant.

Thanks for the chapter.

Sauce?

Look for the game "Lost Odyssey".

I hope tsukasa doesn't become old instantly when she loses the immortality that would be depressing

j would legit cry for a long time if that happens,

well I've already started crying

Hearing the "Hourai Elixir" immediately reminds me of a certain series.....

 

[randoms986]

If I remember correctly, the elixer "burns" the user alive and from that they are in a perpetual state of regeneration. Not only would her burette regenerate, the original clothes she was wearing that the time would probably do so as well, but she's changed clothes so many times, they are probably long forgotten to the plot and the author

Or maybe this isn't a plot hole and intentionally used to hint at how to counter this advanced technology. I am calling it technology because aliens are involved, so calling it magic feels off.

I hope they grow old together and stuff

Even better would be that Nasa achieves immortallity too, so that she can't outlive him and they'll be forever together

To be honest, immortality has long been treated as a curse in fiction, particularly for the good of heart, and this story has been no exception. Tsukasa really does want to just reach a natural end (it's been her wish to face Kaguya on the moon and have her turn her back to normal for 1400 years, more or less), and even the current incarnation of Kaguya has made the argument that immortality is a terrible thing, back when they first mentioned the hourai elixir in the manga (Ch.141). The original Kaguya also talked similarly negatively about 'immortality' in a roundabout way when referring to the 'envoy' that was coming to take her, just before the Emperor forces her to admit she doesn't want to leave (Ch.204).

Humans are meant to live just one lifetime. There's also the fact that I think it would be a very bad idea to try to have sex while she's immortal (excruciating pain from tearing of flesh (the hymen, for instance) constantly that rebuilds virtually instantly then gets torn again over and over, constant blood loss, possible risk of emasculation of the male depending on how forceful the rebuilding process is, a lot of serious drawbacks to her ability when it comes to sex, if Hata actually thought it through), in addition to the fact I suspect she is effectively sterile in this state. It's very unclear whether they've done it yet or not, to be honest. They might have just had frisky make-out and groping sessions, and somehow not gone beyond that, especially since they seem to still act so bashful about seeing each other's underwear, let alone privates.

If they want to have and raise kids, they're going to have to be mortals.

Probably because said series was also referencing the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

Just accept that she is an elder god and her name is shortened to Tsukasa since to hear her full name would drain you of all your sanity points.

But we already know she was born a normal human, and only became immortal with the elixir left by Kaguya's first incarnation. Her name is also something she wasn't given at birth, either. She forgot her birth name given to her by her parents. Tsukasa was a name given to her after her rebirth as an immortal by Shotoku, literally called back to here on page 12.
