Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 302 The Extremely Ferocious Shrine After Death
Black Sadako approached the television screen step by step. The television was playing a drama starring actresses such as Akina Nakamori, Yuko Tanaka, and Rie Miyazawa, who were later known as the "Showa Era Goddesses."

It must be said that these Showa-era beauties were indeed very good-looking, far more attractive than the later internet celebrity faces.

At this moment, as Black Sadako approached, the TV signal suddenly became unstable. The images of the beautiful characters froze, became garbled, and large patches of "snow" appeared on the screen, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

sizzle-

The current seemed to be short-circuiting, making a buzzing sound.

The moment Black Sadako touched the screen, the entire screen went completely white, and Black Sadako's slender, thin hand disappeared as if it had been submerged in water.

Immediately afterwards, he crawled inside.

Louis squinted, sensing the mark left on his body. At this moment, the mark seemed to be changing, differentiating.

Louis's eyes turned somewhat dangerous.

He knew that Black Sadako wouldn't be so honest.

However, this magic seal, which combines his two flames, inspiration, and knowledge of formations, is not a low-level spell that can be easily broken!

In perception.

Each of the countless Black Sadakos carries the power of the mark; indeed, the mark also spreads out as they disperse.

In this world, everything is subject to the concepts of Yin and Yang. Even if she unlocks informational abilities, she is still bound by the shackles of Yin and Yang and cannot escape them.

The Yin-Yang Blazing Flame Seal - Suppressing Evil, which has already taken root in its body and deeply integrated with it, will naturally follow it forever.

If Sadako is described as a virus, then this mark is an incredible virus that possesses a virus!

and so.

Snapped!
Louis snapped his fingers lightly.

For an instant.

Black Sadako, who had been rushing towards all of Japan along with the electrical signal, suddenly stopped.

TV Tokyo.

Inside the broadcasting studio, the host was about to begin the program when his assistant tugged at his sleeve. Turning his head, he saw a woman dressed entirely in white with black hair covering her face, perfectly fitting the image of a female ghost, appear in front of the radio. She twisted her stiff neck, and before she could do anything, a vortex of white-gold and blood-red flames swallowed her whole!
Kyoto TV, prefectural TV stations, city TV stations, forums, video websites...

One by one, white figures flashed by, while the two-colored flame vortexes, like heavenly soldiers chasing evil spirits, never stopped for a moment.

at last.

Everything has calmed down.

The next location they appeared in was Izu Oshima.

Strands of black light, burning with two-colored flames, emerged from the television set and swirled endlessly in the open space until all one hundred streaks of light converged.

Snapped!
Louis snapped his fingers again.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The piercing screams echoed across various network signals, and in some unknown place, a large group of "female ghosts" were burned alive by flames.

A hundred streams of light coalesced before her eyes, forming the figure of Black Sadako. However, she was vomiting blood incessantly, and even her healing powers could not stop the bleeding.

She knelt on the ground, mouthfuls of blood gushing from her mouth, staining the ground red.

"Speak," Louis said calmly, showing no mercy.

Black Sadako forced herself to look up, meeting Louis's unwavering gaze, and began, "I... I can..."

Through Black Sadako's explanation, Louis learned about her current information virus ability; she truly possessed this ability, and it wasn't something she could only acquire after death.

However, its strength is not high. Like her other abilities, it can only reach its peak after death by relying on the power of resentment.

Currently, her information virus ability can only allow her to transform into countless forms and flow through electrical signals. She cannot use these to spread curses infinitely, nor can she live in someone's memory or be resurrected from someone else's memory simply by being seen by them.

Their abilities were significantly limited.

Even so, her influence online remains terrifyingly large.

Louis couldn't help but glance at her, then at Kayako behind him.

These two infamous Japanese ghost kings from their past lives are quite similar; both are extremely ferocious after death.

A curse endures, affecting time itself.

A memory lives on, influencing information.

Once they reach their full potential, these two should be special beings, powerful enough to rival some of the demon gods.

As expected of the strongest demon king in Japan!
Able to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Fortunately, I managed to restrain them all before they could. By all accounts, I've done a great deed, and all the people of Japan should thank me for sealing the demons with my own body!

After this reprimand, Black Sadako became much more obedient, while White Sadako lowered her head even further.

"Very good, Black Sadako. From now on, you will keep one clone by your side. I will give you the orders."

"Yes."

"Also, change out of this outfit later and change it to black."

"Yes."

"As for White Sadako, Carrie, you should train her. If she doesn't learn how to be a proper priestess and protector before we leave Japan, then she'll be trapped in Black Sadako's body forever."

Having said that, without paying any attention to Bai Zhenzi's reaction, a green crack flashed in the ground.

Everyone entered the "Mountain" spiritual realm and vanished in an instant.

……

Tokyo.

The inner circle.

Even after experiencing a bubble economy, the real estate prices in this de facto capital and economic center of Japan remain extremely high, especially in core areas such as the port area, where only the wealthy can afford to live.

In this very place, a shrine covering a considerable area has now been built.

This is absolutely an unusual event at this time, yet the media reporters, who call themselves the uncrowned kings of the civilized world or shameless hyenas, haven't published a single report on it.

Or.

Not long ago, for example, when media outlets like Weekly Bunshun, which relentlessly dug into privacy and pursued sensationalism, received warnings from officials almost immediately after publishing their articles.

Not only that, in Japan, the media sometimes really aren't afraid of the authorities, but this time it seems a bit different. Just when they were planning to do things their own way and grab this unusual amount of traffic, various conglomerates, local yakuza groups, the Metropolitan Police Department, shrines, temples, and so on—almost half of Japan's upper echelons—came to put pressure on them!
They all moved at lightning speed, as if vying to show off, and their attacks on these media outlets were ruthless and terrifying.

Various scandals were exposed, followed by bankruptcy, imprisonment, and a series of other procedures.

Throughout the entire process, they had no powerful backers, and no literary figures dared to speak up for them.

The entire neon-lit city seemed to enter a moment of "silence".

This has continued until now.

The great King Zhaoming has arrived in His faithful Tokyo!

Click, click, click!
Green cracks flashed by, and Louis appeared with his men in his villa. A knock immediately sounded at the door.

Tommy's voice rang out, "Boss, you're back?"

"Well, it's me."

As he spoke, the door opened automatically.

Upon seeing Louis, Tommy, who had been on guard, relaxed and began to report, "Boss, the upper echelons in Japan have been asking about your whereabouts and whether you've returned, but I haven't answered them."

"And a couple of days ago, a woman in black with a scar around her eye, named... oh, Higa Kotoko, came."

Louis ignored the first sentence and paid attention to the second.

"Where is she now?"

"I've been outside, and I haven't left these past two days."

A thought came to my mind.

After a few seconds.

Somewhat tired and seemingly having not slept well, Higa Kotoko strode in. The black-armored soldiers around her, who were following Louis's instructions in their minds, did not stop her. However, as she crossed the gate, Finley, the Good and Evil Doll who had been by Tom's side, blinked and made a clicking sound as his wooden mouth opened and closed.

Tommy took two steps back and slapped him on the head. "Hey, Finley, don't be like that. That person might be our colleague in the future. If you dare to lay a hand on her, be careful that the boss doesn't chop you up and burn you for firewood. You know, the boss really does do that."

"Huh? You mean, she smells like food?"

"That won't do either. You go if you want. I don't want to get burned to death with you."

"Alright, alright, if you beep any louder, I'll rip your arm off and shove it up your ass!"

Tommy used a combination of coaxing and scare tactics to successfully dissuade Finley from going to eat the "food" for the time being.

But just by looking at Finley's constantly moving eyes, you can tell that this guy hasn't given up at all!

Kotoko Higa, who was striding in, was unaware that she had been targeted by a strange-looking, comical doll, who was now bowing deeply to Louis.

If she weren't not wearing a shrine maiden's outfit and if the occasion weren't so inappropriate, she would most likely have already knelt down and performed a grand worship ceremony.

"God."

"Hmm, it seems you listened to me. You came quite quickly."

“The deity has given a command, and we should obey it.”

She maintained a humble and submissive tone, showing no trace of the imposing presence of Japan's top spiritual medium.

Louis sat on the wide, soft sofa, wrapped his arm around Kayako's slender, supple waist, and pulled her into his embrace. One hand caressed her waist, while the other played with her black hair.

Behind her were Carrie, who was disciplining White Sadako, glancing at Kayako every now and then with an increasingly serious look in her eyes, and Black Sadako, who stood by and watched, seemingly innocent.

At first glance, the scene does look rather strange.

"Where is Matsushita Shinnosuke? And how's the construction of my shrine coming along?"

"Your Excellency, Mr. Matsushita has not yet received news of your return. He is currently urging construction teams in various regions to accelerate the repair work. As for your shrine, it has been completed. This was one of the reasons why the Japanese authorities inquired about it several times before."

"Now all that's left is for you to name the shrine and put it into practice."

"And then there's the matter of the shrine's future development and personnel planning..."

Louis played with Kayako's black hair, his thoughts drifting.

It's already built.

shrine.

Although he will ascend to godhood in a year or two, he is not a true god yet. I didn't expect him to establish a shrine in Japan first. It was a bit unexpected, but it's good that he's preparing in advance.

However, now that we've come this far, it's time to consider the shrine's future development path.

There are actually only two choices.

To reveal the mystery or not to reveal it?

If the mystery is revealed, in the superstitious society of Japan where various religions are prevalent, one can easily acquire a large amount of faith and incense offerings, enough to accumulate a lot of resources for cultivating the golden body of incense offerings when ascending to godhood and developing the primordial spirit.

If they are not exposed, the acquisition speed of these two resources will definitely be greatly reduced.

Louis hesitated.

He should already be at the top of the current world, even the saintess Irene who sealed the demon god Valak's clones several times is below him.

Well, as long as God or angels don't descend from the heavens.

With such power, can the mystery be exposed and withstand prying eyes?

Thinking of Mammon, the demon king who was plotting to descend upon the world, his own ascension ceremony two years later, and the power of faith and incense that he would not need for the time being, Louis immediately made a decision.

"The shrine is called Shōmyō Enyō Mitsuru Taisha, and the other branches are called Shōmyō Shrines."

"I appoint you, Higa Kotoko, as the head priest of the Grand Shrine, in charge of all affairs of the Grand Shrine. You shall appoint the other head priests and priestesses of the branch shrines, but these officials must all have studied my Sun God Dharma."

"Furthermore, you are granted the right to preach."

"May I ask Your Excellency, are there any scope or specific requirements?" Despite bearing this heavy responsibility, Higa Kotoko remained calm and composed, still managing to ask the question.

"The scope is tentatively set as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia."

"The purpose of the shrine is to spread religion. In today's society, we do not expect the fanatical faith of the past. At the very least, we must let everyone in Japan know the name of the Shinto Shinto, and try to attract believers without revealing too much mystery. We will not force anything else."

After all, it is a developed country, and if it makes any big moves, it will be tantamount to exposing itself.

"But in Southeast Asia, the methods of missionary work can be changed a bit..."

The situation there is extremely chaotic, and there is a natural pursuit of power and hope. A large part of the magic in the [Sun God] method is derived from the Twelve Meridians Black Magic. Black Magic is notorious in Southeast Asia. As long as it is shown even a little, the Sun God method will surpass its predecessor in Southeast Asia, building its reputation on the shoulders of Black Magic. After that, things will be simple.

Faith and incense offerings have always been born out of poverty, hardship, violence, and chaos.

It is believed that the faith in Zhaoming Shenjun will be greatly expanded in Southeast Asia.

What Louis thought of, Higa Kotoko also thought of. This was because she had spent many years exorcising demons around the world and knew Southeast Asia very well.

That place is filled with small kingdoms, and chaos and violence are commonplace. Although it is protected by forces such as Buddhism, they are not very strong. In fact, compared to Buddhism, evil practices far outnumber Buddhist ones. Therefore, as long as you give them power and hope, you can easily gather a large number of people and act freely, which is much more convenient than civilized societies like Japan.

This is definitely my next focus for expansion.

Feeling that she understood Louis's thoughts, Higa Kotoko bowed down, "I will obey the divine decree."

Louis nodded.

But it's not over yet.

The entire neon district can't be managed by Higa Kotoko alone. Putting aside everything else, she'd need at least a few thugs, right? And then there are the Cano International branch staff Louis left behind—they're all elites; they could easily be reassigned as administrative personnel…

Subsequently, Louis handed over all the personnel of the Neon branch of Cano International to Kotoko Higa, and appointed Black Sadako and White Sadako as the Black and White Protectors, to act as his armed henchmen.

As for Kayako, she was the only shrine maiden at Shōmyō-taisha Shrine.

In addition to the exorcists that Higa Kotoko had previously recruited for the shrine, the newly established Shōmyō Shrine now possessed a large number of powerful mystical forces.
