Chapter 493 The Situation of Another Demiplane

"Ahem, Mr. Seimei, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Kafka coughed lightly, instinctively objecting. It wasn't that he had any selfish motives, but rather that the army and the Metropolitan Police Department had worked together to develop this demi-plane, only to be defeated and flee in disarray by the 'gods' of that plane, suffering heavy losses.

They've only just begun to figure things out, and now they're going to let in these two dangerous individuals, 'Great Tengu' and 'Ie'?

Wouldn't all the efforts and sacrifices of those people have been wasted?
“Mr. Kafka,”

"I am somewhat aware of your plans."

Seated in the main seat, Abe no Seimei raised his folding fan and pressed it down slightly.

How could this great Onmyoji not know that the government wanted to use that demiplane to 'confer deities' on a large scale and mass-produce demon-level powerhouses?

"But haven't you considered the potential problems that might arise from 'becoming a god' in that other plane?"

? !
As soon as these words came out,
The most surprised were naturally Kawa and Mai.

After all, she—no, He—was a deity in that demiplane and is now a 'god of calamity' heavily promoted by the island nation's government.

If there's really something wrong with that dimension, He will be the first to suffer!

"Mr. Seimei, what are the potential consequences?"

"hehe,"

Faced with Kafka's eager question, the Grand Onmyoji avoided answering and proceeded to explain on his own:

"On the surface, this demiplane appears to be devoid of spiritual energy, and humans rely on mechanical arts called 'technology' to survive."

Indeed, the demi-plane in Abe no Seimei's hands is not much different from the 'main plane' where everyone is, with airplanes, cars, cell phones and televisions; but there are many subtle differences: for example, that world has 'gods', 'demons', and the underworld.

Yet, in such a world, ordinary people have absolutely no concept of 'extraordinary'.

"Because the 'gods' there have blocked this information."

The great Onmyoji gently tapped his folding fan and began to speak slowly.

Even Kafka, heartbroken by the loss, and Mayi, whose life was at stake, listened quietly: the opportunity to be personally explained by this great Onmyoji was rare.

"That demiplane may seem prosperous, but in reality, everything is under the control of the gods."

"Clothing, food, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil, and salt are all controlled by corresponding 'gods,' and believing in gods is also a custom of that world."

simply put,
So-called human beings,

It is merely the source of the power of faith in the gods!

? !
Upon hearing Abe no Seimei's words, the three Japanese men all frowned slightly.

Whether it's Kafka, Shio, or Mai, their personalities can all be described as 'kind and righteous'.

This world, which uses all humans as a source of power, instinctively evokes a sense of rejection; even though their strength is no different from that of a demigod, and Mai is even a 'Calamity God' who ascended to the throne in that world.

"Why are there humans from the demiplane?"

Ma Yi stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

Without a trace of extraordinary power, how can they resist those 'gods' who come and go without a trace?
Guns and cannons?
Are you kidding?
Let alone the gods, the 'demons' that escaped from the underworld alone would be enough to drown the prosperous human world of the demiplane.

Those so-called 'demons,' which are the 'evil spirits' of this main world, are naturally immune to physical damage. Only attacks imbued with 'spiritual power' can defeat them. Apart from that, even the bravest warriors can only rely on their 'souls' to push away and fight against these beings.

"Amitabha Buddha, if everyone can live in peace and prosperity, then even a pure land will not be lost."

Master Zhixiong put his hands together and slowly spoke.

Since these gods need faith, they will not harm believers at will.

In this way, under the protection of the gods, humanity would actually live a more stable life—at least according to government reports, that demiplane was indeed very peaceful.

"The age of great strife has arrived; dragons and snakes rise from the land, and stars shift and constellations change."

For this,

The great Onmyoji simply shook his head slightly.

"How can a demiplane remain uninvolved?"

"Have you ever wondered why there are eight million gods in this demiplane?"

The question of the Great Onmyoji is also a source of confusion for the island nation's government. In this demiplane, they encountered the "Seven Lucky Gods"—"Fukurokuju," "Benzaiten," and even "Bishamon," who possessed the attributes of a war god.

And the 'Takemikazuchi' who led the team to defeat them!
Putting everything else aside, Bishamonten is a protector of Buddhism and the god of wealth in the 'Bharat' realm. For some reason, in this demiplane, he is a blonde beauty in military uniform.

For the Japanese, the name 'Takemikazuchi' is even more legendary: following Amaterasu's grandson down from Takamagahara to the human world, he fought one-on-one with Takemikazuchi, the son of 'Ōkuninushi', the leader of the Kunitsukami, and despite being at a disadvantage in terms of attributes, he managed to defeat his opponent and make him flee in defeat.

Later, he assisted Amaterasu's grandson in establishing a regime that would last for ten thousand generations. He was the god of thunder, the god of swords, the god of archery, the god of war, and the god of military affairs.

Almost all areas related to combat fall under his divine authority.

When Abe no Seimei attacked Tokyo, that Yu-kun once "summoned" the "Takemikazuchi" sword, which slashed ten thousand meters away, directly opening a canal in Tokyo.

In retrospect, it seems that they held back most of their strength for fear of accidentally injuring someone.

Otherwise, it would be more than this.

The question is, why is there also a 'Takemikazuchi' in that demiplane?
Moreover, they were ordered by 'Heaven' to lead a team to attack the army and the Metropolitan Police Department—which is why the government suffered heavy losses as soon as they entered.

"Mr. Seimei...Does Lord Seimei know the reason?"

Kafka pressed for an answer, but was met with a silent smile.

???

You Onmyoji players who only say half of what you mean, I hate you the most!
If I weren't outmatched, I would have grabbed him by the collar.
"The answer to this question will require you to search for it in the demiplane yourself."

Abe no Seimei lightly tapped his folding fan, his face practically screaming, "I've dug a hole, you'd better jump in now."

"In short, if you want to enter the demiplane—"

The folding fan swept over the three islanders, then pointed to 'Great Tengu' Shotoku-in and Ie.

"Most of the 'eight million gods' in that place will become your enemies!"

These words made Yijiang's gaze flicker slightly.
His and 'Ootengu's' goal was a fragment of one of the Three Sacred Treasures: the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

The words of the great Onmyoji before them almost explicitly stated that the fragment was in the hands of those 'eight million gods'! It makes perfect sense, just like in the 'Warring States Period,' the weapon 'Murakumo-ga' forged from the fragment fell into the hands of Inu no Taisho.

Fragments of the divine sword are bound to be seized by powerful beings from demi-planes. After all, according to Abe no Seimei, these demi-planes are 'fragments' that were broken off from this planet during the great war a thousand years ago.

It's impossible that the powerful beings in the 'demigod plane' have been sleeping for thousands of years, right?

"Lord Seimei, you don't mean to mean—"

Master Zhixiong is a 'person outside the secular world'; aside from exorcising demons and monsters, he will not interfere with the government's plans.

Kawa and Mai's "divine artifact" were left outside, and Fuji Seiko, the "external brain," was not there, so she naturally only understood half of what was being said and dared not speak casually.

Therefore, as an army general, Kafka had no choice but to bring the topic to the forefront.

"Shall we join forces?"

Not to mention that Ie had caused incalculable damage in Tokyo; could the 'eight million gods' of the demiplane be so powerful that they need to join forces?
"All I can say is that you are all mortal enemies to the 'gods' of that demiplane!"

If you want to get rid of it, hurry up!
?

This puzzled Kafka even more.
But one thing is certain: there's something wrong with this demiplane's 'god'.

Whether it's a fake or a monster, since the other party has shown such obvious malice, then:
"Since Lord Seimei has said so, then we have no reason to object."

That's a bit of patting the island nation's government on the back.

Without Yu-kun, even if all the demon-level superhumans in the island nation swarmed in, it would only have allowed Abe no Seimei to use a few more Yin-Yang techniques.

Back in Tokyo, his ability to suppress a demon-level opponent with a single move was something no one in the entire island nation could forget.

The other party doesn't need to pay any attention to the island nation's government's opinions at all.

Being able to explain it to them, even if it's shrouded in mystery, is enough.

"Cooperating with 'Great Tengu'?"

You interlaced her fingers and looked at Director Zhuya, who was reporting the situation to her.

"To jointly conquer the demiplane?"

"I see,"

"So that's what that great Onmyoji is planning."

So, what's the plan?

Director Zhu Ya, who was bowing respectfully, had this thought flash through her mind, but of course she didn't say it aloud.

Just like Abe no Seimei, the so-called 'Onmyoji' are probably all like this: they only tell half the story and leave the rest unsaid.

"Was it 'Great Tengu' that entered the demiplane?"

Upon hearing You's question, Director Zhuya nodded respectfully in response.

"Yes,"

"It was Ijiang who entered that demiplane."

'Great Tengu' Sutokuin was, after all, once an emperor, and he wasn't the first Heavenly Grandson who charged into battle. Besides, the Heavenly Grandson possessed the Three Sacred Treasures and had the assistance of Takemikazuchi, which is why he was able to slaughter Kunitsu-no-Kami.

It's inappropriate for a poet like him to go in empty-handed.

"Sending in a descendant of his bloodline? That does fit his character."

After You finished her comments, she looked at Director Zhu Ya.

"What do you mean?"

"The Cabinet believes that 'Tokitachi Mayuzumi' should be invited into the demiplane at the same time."

Regardless of why the Great Tengu sent 'Ie' into the demiplane—according to the think tank's analysis, it was most likely aimed at the 'Fragment of the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword'—the government couldn't stand idly by. They dispatched Kawai Mai to act according to the situation: while Mai was not entirely trustworthy, Fuji Seiko was a different story.

"Can,"

Yu made the decision directly.
"No matter what the situation is in that demiplane, you'll only understand after you've fought it."

"Mai's strength is also quite good, and she is very suitable for that demiplane."

After all, it was there that the 'God of Calamity' ascended to godhood.
It makes it easier to wield power.

"Does Yu-kun have any further instructions?"

When Director Zhuya asked in a low voice, You waved her hand.

What instructions can I give?

"Everything is just a matter of dealing with each move as it comes. Go on."

"Yes."

As Director Zhuya left, You stroked her chin.

No one knew the situation of that demiplane better than him, because he had set it all up.

It was a world specifically designed for training 'remote absorption and transmission of chakra'. To put it bluntly, it was a world where 'gods' were at their peak—controlled by 'eight million gods'. The enemies were only a few barely surviving 'magicians', and the main conflict was internal strife.

Any outsider who enters that world will be punished by the 'gods'!

Unlike the 'Warring States Era', this is a world where 'you have to fight if you don't want to die'!

Whether it's outsiders or those 'gods'.

Well, let's leave those 'settings' aside for now.

In short, for Yu, it was a 'training ground'.

Now let's see what kind of waves Ie and Mayi can stir up in that demiplane.

Entering this place means facing the 'gods' directly, which is not a place for students to set foot in: students should just stay in the Warring States era and fight the minor demons and monsters.
