I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 270 I am invincible beneath the dragon, one for one above it
"It's finally over."

In the shrine halfway up the thousand-meter-tall sacred tree, Nao sat leisurely under the eaves of the shrine's 'shrine office'—which was also the room where Xiaoying lived—letting Nao massage her shoulders.

"Hmph~~"

Qiong Mei, who was sitting next to her, snorted and turned her head away.

"Don't be angry, I was just trying to scare that great Onmyoji, I won't really die with him."

Yu knew perfectly well why Qiong was angry and tried to comfort her.

"Besides, if we let him destroy the sacred tree, Xiaoying won't be able to explain it to the Inari God."

"Hey?"

"It's okay with me."

Tiannv Ying, who was treating Yura nearby, looked up.
"If Yu is affected by me, I will have no face to continue living in this world."

The great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei made it very clear that the technique Yuu used in the end was called 'Shiki Fujin'.

Summoning the phantom of 'Yi Ziran Zun' can forcibly drag any target into the underworld.

But the price is that he himself will be dragged to the underworld!
If Yuuma dies because of this move, Xiaoying will definitely not forgive herself.

This is also why Qiong Mei is angry.

"It's not entirely because of Xiaoying,"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, You had no choice but to explain to everyone.

"If we cannot defeat Abe no Seimei here, and he destroys the sacred tree, the entire island nation will surely fall into despair. At that time—"

The Yamata no Orochi, having absorbed a massive amount of negative emotions, will most likely break free from its seal: that would be the true end of the world.

"What if that great Onmyoji suddenly returns?"

When it comes to serious matters, Qiong Mei doesn't even have time to be angry.

"Ambushes and sneak attacks, etc."

Right now, the only one in the entire island nation who can threaten the other side is Yu.

If that great Onmyoji were to lower himself and resort to sneak attacks and assassinations, who in this world could withstand him?

"impossible,"

You raised her hand and decisively denied it.

"He is Abe no Seimei,"

"You want the peerless and elegant Onmyoji of Heian-kyo to learn to use ninja-like sneak attacks and ambushes?"

That's no longer a question of whether a persona is collapsing or not, but rather a violation of one's true nature: strong people have their own principles, and those who easily change themselves cannot be strong.

"Furthermore, I have already bound the 'Dead Demon Sealing Technique' to my life."

"Once I am killed, I will be automatically released to the person who killed me."

A true one-for-one exchange.

So,
However, it is still a forbidden move.
"It's best never to use it."

Nao was holding Yu's back from behind; if there hadn't been so many people, she would have hugged him from behind.

"Actually, it wouldn't hurt to use it."

Yu looked indifferent, as if she wasn't talking about her own 'fate'.

"Don't panic, let me explain slowly~~"

He chatted fluently amidst the angry stares of several girls.

"Being dragged to the underworld is, to others, the worst possible death."

"But don't forget, there's also 'Fengdu,' a city established by the underworld, located on Yomotsu Hirasaka. — I recently had a very pleasant conversation with the ruler of that city, and he warmly invited me to join him, saying that after I die, I'll sit in the second-in-command there, and so on~~"

Ah this
As Yu casually talked about her career plans after 'death,' the girls were speechless.

"That won't work either. Who knows what the consequences of death might be?"

"Yeah, the legendary guardian of Heian-kyo almost wiped us out just now."

The evil spirits of the underworld have been around for quite some time now, and everyone has heard of the city of Fengdu in the underworld.

But living beings always maintain an instinctive resistance to 'death': besides, they are all young and beautiful girls who haven't had enough of the beauty of the world yet.

Besides Yu and the others, there were quite a few people sitting or lying in this small shrine: Hakuzosu, Kafka, and Shio—they had all suffered injuries of varying degrees and were being treated by other shrine maidens. Beside Hakuzosu, a group of beautiful fox girls, 'weeping sadly', surrounded them.

Step, step, step.

Amidst the sound of footsteps, several familiar faces passed through the torii gate and arrived at this small shrine.

"I apologize for disturbing you, Divine Child."

The visitors were naturally Director Takeya, Nozomi Tenma, and Kazuka Iori.

"Hey, Yihua, long time no see."

"Young Master You... no, Lord You, you stay at home cultivating every day, so of course you don't see us."

Iori Ichika rolled her eyes. She had already guessed that Yu was powerful, but she hadn't expected this:

So strong!
His strength was simply godlike.

"We were able to defeat this formidable enemy entirely thanks to Yu-kun's intervention."

Director Takeya, representing the island's cabinet government, stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"The entire island nation is deeply grateful."

"Grateful."

Tenma hoped, and Iori Ichika also bowed in unison.

They came on behalf of the government, the royal family, and the samurai family to express their gratitude.

"I won't be modest this time,"

Yu sat under the eaves, letting Nao massage her shoulders, while gracefully accepting everyone's bows and greetings.

"The great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei is indeed terrifying."

"It's making me consider whether I should go to the underworld or Takamagahara to find a job."

? ?
These words drew everyone's attention.

"Does Yu-kun also have connections in Takamagahara?"

When faced with Director Zhu Ya's tentative question, You raised her hand and pointed to the side.

Isn't this it?

Amidst the bewildered expression on Tiannvying's face, You spread his hands.

"Things are hopeless, so I have no choice but to seek refuge in Lady Miketsu's 'divine kingdom.' — Sigh, how chaotic this world is."

I forgot about this.
All eyes fell on Tiannv Ying, because she was so low-key that they forgot she was originally the 'divine child' of Inari, and a thousand years ago she was Miketsu's maid; if a real crisis came, even if Inari didn't send down his divine power, it would at least be no problem for him to take her away.

But Yu-kun, how can you, the 'strongest modern Onmyoji,' say such discouraging things!
If you run away, what will happen to the tens of millions of people in this island nation?
"Cough cough, there's no need to be so pessimistic."

Director Zhuya tried to persuade her, but You directly stated the cold reality.

"This is not pessimism, it is the truth."

“Abe no Seimei has only retreated, not been defeated or killed; given that great Onmyoji’s strength, he should be making new moves soon.”

Yes,

Kafka and Shio, who are both receiving treatment, are both Ichirin.

Unlike the rest of them who were all injured, Abe no Seimei was completely unharmed.

If that great Onmyoji were to return, they would have no chance to fight back—they could only rely on Yu's 'mutual destruction' as a deterrent.

tap tap tap,

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Director, and everyone else, I apologize for disturbing you."

The person who came running was Fuji Seiko from the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department.

"The Metropolitan Police Department has received an emergency report: the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei has appeared in Kyoto."

"He announced that three days later, the entire city of Kyoto would belong to him: anyone still remaining on that land would—" be turned into a ghost!

???

"Damn it, he thinks he's..."

Director Zhuya instinctively cursed out, but stopped halfway through her sentence.

Who does he think he is? The most powerful Onmyoji in history, who ended the era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Abe no Seimei who rivals the gods!
Even if such a person openly "carves out a territory and establishes a nation" within an island country, what can the government do? What action would it dare to take?
"See? I told you so."

Yu shrugged, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

"It seems that the great Onmyoji is very obsessed with 'Heian-kyo'."

"That's the hometown of 1.5 million people!"

Kyoto, formerly known as Heian-kyo, is now home to 1.5 million people; yet, with a single word from that great Onmyoji, a million people were displaced.

Kafka, who was receiving treatment, suddenly stood up and, ignoring his bruised and battered body, strode away from the shrine.

"General Kafka, are you going to your death?"

However, a single, light sentence from You Qingpiao made the man abruptly stop in his tracks.

"You have already experienced Abe no Seimei's power firsthand; if you insist on throwing your life away, I won't stop you."

"General Lu, do not act rashly!"

Director Zhuya quickly stepped in front of Kafka to block him.
The island nation only has a few pillars. If they fall into the hands of Abe Seimei, this paperclip, this high-ranking cabinet official in charge of the island nation's extraordinary affairs, wouldn't he faint from heartache on the spot?
"Let's discuss this carefully, let's think this through."

"In short, you've all seen my strength—"

You pointed to the ground beneath everyone's feet.

"With the help of Xiaoying transmitting the power of the 'Divine Tree,' I am able to unleash dragon-level combat power."

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of 'Super God Imitation Painting', Yu is essentially an all-around Dragon-level character with no weaknesses.

As for 'Dragon Peak' enemies like Abe no Seimei, or even 'God-level' enemies that may exist in the future; Yu could force a one-for-one exchange with 'Dead Demon Seal': In Japanese mythology, no one's status is higher than that of 'Mother of Creation' Izanami.

Even Izanagi, the 'Father of Creation,' wouldn't work.

After all, according to legend, this person was chased all the way out of the underworld by his sister, and was in a rather sorry state.

"But the condition is that I cannot leave Tokyo."

Without the cooperation of Tennyo Ei, Yu would only be a 'mere' Demon-level.

"There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with, Yu-kun,"

After speaking, Director Zhuya stepped aside and raised her hand to signal Tianma Xiwang.

"Regarding the development of Pegasus Ai-mei's 'Eye of God'."

"Okay, I'll think of a way."

Now that their strength has been 'exposed,' it would be inappropriate to remain silent.

It would be fine to have someone as a 'royal tutor' and give some pointers to Pegasus Hope. Although advancing the Byakugan is very difficult, Yu is, after all, an Otsutsuki.

If Tenma wishes to develop the Byakugan to the Jonin level, Yu could use it as a foundation to try out various dojutsu belonging to the 'Otsutsuki' clan.

"you're awake?"

When Xiao opened his eyes, what he saw was:
There is no ceiling.

"Where am I??"

As he sat up in bed, the feeling of the wind blowing across his face made him subconsciously raise his hand to touch it.

I feel a little uncomfortable without bandages.

"University of Tokyo Medical School,"

The nurse, whom I had met once before, raised her hand and helplessly introduced herself to those around her.

"But as you can see, it is already like this—"

A ruin!
Looking up, the ground was littered with building debris, twisted and broken steel bars protruding from large and small cement blocks; further away were huge craters, reflecting sunlight in a glassy color; there were also 'hills' of varying sizes scattered here and there; and huge, black metal tentacles.
This is the scene Xiao saw when he sat up. Not far away were several 'giant trees' with diameters of over ten meters, providing them with shelter.

"Is this the University of Tokyo???"

Xiao, who had just woken up, was shocked. The scene in front of him was more like a battlefield in another world.

"This is Tokyo,"

On the other side, a calm voice came.

"Mr. Ten-Headed Demon?"

Emerging from the ruins was a well-proportioned young man, carrying a large, door-sized sword in his hand.

A decapitation sword!

"Give,"

The opponent casually tossed the broadsword, which flew towards Xiao.

"Ah, thanks."

He got off the hospital bed and reached out to catch the large sword; from the decapitation sword in his 'full' state, a surge of blood and energy flowed into Xiao's body.

"This is Tokyo, at the University of Tokyo. What on earth happened?"

Upon hearing the boy's question, another calm voice rang out.

"What else could it be?"

"A group of extraordinary experts are engaged in a fierce battle nearby."

A blond male doctor, dressed in a white coat and exuding an air of scholarly refinement, walked in from the other side.

"Luckily we were far away, and we were also lucky. Otherwise—"

The aftershocks alone would be enough to kill them countless times.

Even though everyone present was a wolf-level superhuman.

Extraordinary?
Looking around again, Takashi couldn't see even the slightest trace of 'Tokyo'; he simply couldn't understand what kind of extraordinary ability could create such a scene.

"Follow me, Shura."

"Ah, okay."

The nickname 'Shura' is both childish and awkward, but Xiao has gotten used to being called that by others over this period of time; he immediately picked up the Executioner's Blade and chased after the Ten-Headed Serpent Demon King who had turned to leave, while turning his head to look at the doctor and nurse.

"Medical expenses"

"No need, I didn't do anything anyway."

The blond doctor in the white coat waved his hand dismissively.

Compared to the entire destroyed University of Tokyo, that little bit of medical money wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.

"Doctor, what are you doing?"

"What for? Of course, we need to study this 'sacred wood' first."

"No, this is His Excellency Hakuzosu's creation, absolutely not!"

Amidst the sounds of doctors and nurses interacting behind him, Xiao quickly caught up with the Ten-Headed Serpent King.

"You saved me again, Mr. Toja Demon."

"Thank you."

Tokyoji didn't care about Xiao's gratitude, but instead took out a cell phone.

"Shura,"

"During the time you were unconscious, a lot happened that involved you. See for yourself."

After saying that, he handed the phone to the puzzled boy.

???

"The young lady is wanted; bounty offered."

50 million?
Still US dollars?!
Seeing the message on his phone, Xiao's mind went completely blank, leaving him utterly bewildered.
Did I really not travel to another world?
