From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 292: A Bet on the Nation's Fate
In the distant city of Tokyo, in Chiyoda Ward, Kasumigaseki.

This is the location of the Japanese government, and also the core office area of ​​the Cabinet and the Diet, where the National Diet Building is located.

Here, the ministers and members of parliament, who should have been arguing endlessly about tariffs and other international affairs, appeared so peaceful and serene.

Because in front of them, a screen was displaying Kurahashi Seiji's identity and background!

"Kurahashi Seiji, the successor of the Kurahashi family's Yin-Yang Bureau, is also the only confirmed family member and heir of the Kurahashi family. Two other members who appeared in the video have been sent to the Kyoto City Police Department to surrender themselves by Kurahashi Seiji!"

"According to the investigation, he is a direct descendant of the Kurahashi family, not a son-in-law or an adopted son. His lineage has continued from Abe no Seimei!"

"In other words, he is a legitimate descendant of Abe, with the bloodline of a great Onmyoji flowing through his veins, and is the only Onmyoji successor we know of who still exists in the world!"

"At least, none of the Seimei Shrines and the Tsuchimikado family members across the country possess his power. Although the abbots of those Buddhist temples claim to have extraordinary abilities, their eminent monks are currently in Calcutta, India, and their efforts are far from sufficient to address the immediate needs of the people!"

"They're just trying to fool us. They didn't have any power before they went to Calcutta. They're just using the name of the Bodhisattva to deceive us!"

"Therefore, we can draw a conclusion: barring any unforeseen circumstances, this man named Kurahashi Seiji is a superhuman chosen by God! He is also our country's only hope to escape its current predicament!"

The speaker was the Speaker of the Diet. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the group of expressionless members of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office next to him.

This group, ostensibly from the District Attorney's Office but actually known as "America's Dogs," was also present at the meeting, since they were America's tools for controlling the country!
But now, many people don't care about all that anymore. They're ready to face whatever comes their way, so they might as well take advantage of the arrival of the extraordinary and give it a shot!
This is extraordinary! The kind of extraordinary that every country in the world dreams of!

Now that this good fortune has finally fallen on their heads, what else is there to worry about?
After the speaker finished speaking, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishigaki, who had long been known as a "mascot," stepped forward and said loudly, "Kyoto has become a chaotic city, all caused by the legendary yokai. If we can find this Onmyoji, we can restore order to the city!"

"We could even set up a special supernatural organization, just like in the Heian period, to manage Onmyoji and those yokai, and even rewrite and control the entire era!"

"Onmyoji and yokai are both extraordinary beings that have appeared in our history. They are gifts bestowed upon us by the heavens. Gentlemen, this is a sign of the arrival of a new era! We must seize it!"

"Even with such extraordinary abilities, it's not impossible to station troops in America from abroad!"

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, what are you planning to do?"

"I hope to take this opportunity to establish our own extraordinary team and organization, which we will call the Extraordinary Countermeasures Agency! It will oversee various departments under the Yin-Yang Bureau and Buddhist temples to manage these extraordinary beings!"

"This time, we will be like Emperor Toba, able to capture and annihilate even great demons!"

This right-wing individual, who never hides his ambition, stated, "With such a department, we can truly become independent like the five Nordic countries, instead of becoming a vassal of others!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of excitement!

Even this mascot-like prime minister can see what kind of opportunity this is, so of course they can see it too!
Why do the five Nordic countries have such a strong voice in the world now? Why can Italy even ignore the EU, NATO, and America? Isn't it because they have extraordinary support behind them?
And now, they themselves have also attained transcendence. So what if it's just the beginning? Onmyoji are associated with Shintoism, the Daoist sect!

If they can make contact with the gods behind them, won't there be hope? Won't everything develop as they predicted?
The gods of Takamagahara are their deities, the deities of the Yamato people, and will be their greatest support!
Yes, if they had seized the extraordinary opportunity, they could have obtained everything, instead of becoming puppets like they are now!

"Then, gentlemen, let's vote! Let's seize this opportunity and make our nation rise again!" Japan's favorite pastime—betting its national destiny with an all-in stake—has begun again!

Nobody thought it was wrong, and nobody thought there was anything wrong with it. Isn't it just a case of the lower class defying the higher-ups? It's just everyday stuff!

If they don't defy their superiors, what meaning do their lives have?
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishi is such a person. He once said that he would allow the Self-Defense Forces to be stationed on American soil. His typical right-wing style makes him unpopular in many ways, but now he has become the most popular person!
Many members of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office looked grim and quickly reported the information. For these traitors, this was the truly unacceptable thing!
After all, they helped America deal with so many of her own people. If these people really succeed in gambling on the nation's fate, they will be the first to be purged!

And this scene unfolded before Bai Yang's eyes.

"Ah, this is so familiar, so right! This kind of all-in, reckless attitude is just like Japan!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "But this time, you'll be disappointed! Even if they are Onmyoji or Yokai, who would listen to you?"

This group of people always have an inexplicable confidence that their ideas can definitely be realized. In a sense, this is a common problem among those in positions of power: a lack of self-confidence.

However, the root of this idea lies with Bai Yang, which makes him seem like a rootless duckweed, seemingly hopeful but actually just an illusion.

Bai Yang watched the group's actions and suddenly felt a strange curiosity. "Even if you've decided to bet everything, how are you going to do it? Do you intend to take control of the Onmyoji?"

Then he was amused, because the solution these people came up with was to send the newly established Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau to Kyoto, find this Onmyoji, and then appoint him as the head of the Onmyo Bureau under the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau!
This is truly laughable. They are so confident that no Japanese citizen would refuse their invitation—let's hope their people can hold out until then!

Bai Yang said quietly, his gaze turning to Osaka. After the extraordinary crisis broke out here, he could clearly see that countries around the world were starting to move again!
Especially countries like Britain, France, and Germany, after failing to gain substantial benefits from India and Southeast Asia, have subconsciously begun to attract people to this land.

"That's great. I used to dislike the spies from these countries, but now these people are actually a very suitable group!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "Behind every extraordinary little country, there should be such an extraterrestrial force... That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?"

He could clearly see that these agents, who had suffered setbacks in various places, had changed their tactics. Instead of recklessly heading towards the Kyoto area, they were now first looking for people who had escaped from Kyoto, questioning them, and even torturing them.

These people do this without any psychological burden whatsoever; it's just that the officials who get caught seem very unlucky.

They had been running day and night to avoid the Yinmolu demon, thinking that escaping to another country would be safer. Instead, they were subjected to severe interrogation by the secret service. In a state of extreme fear and exhaustion, they revealed what they might know.

Even those who didn't flee the country were no different; as first-hand contacts, they were also targeted by agents from their own country or other countries, leading miserable and tragic lives.

So the most ridiculous scene has appeared. Thanks to the efforts of these agents, officials who did not originally belong to the Kyoto system have also been included in the scope of torture. Then they heard an updated message!

A man named Seiji Kurahashi possesses a power known as "Onmyoji".

So while the members of the Tokyo Diet were still fighting amongst themselves to get their people into the Supernatural Countermeasures Agency, these agents, who had gone mad for the supernatural, had already set off for Kyoto!
This kind of development has also made this city a gathering place for global events in a very short time. The last city to achieve this was Kolkata, India!

"It's good that things are in chaos! Only in this way can the influence of the will power truly spread to the whole world!" Bai Yang thought happily, while also raising the level of the descending will power to another level!

"Greed and desire are the foundation upon which all kinds of demons arise. These people, too, may well become demons!"
