From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 307 A City That Is Thoroughly Distinct

"Dojigiri Yasutsuna is missing?" Inside the cabinet, Shige received the news and immediately realized what was happening!

"What are we waiting for? Have someone collect all the remaining swords!" he shouted.

The remaining swords, of course, are Mikazuki Munechika, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, Ōdenta Mitsuyo, and Onimaru Kunitsuna, who are listed as the Five Great Swords of the Land along with Dojigiri Yasutsuna.

These are some of the most famous swords in the history of this country, besides the Kusanagi sword. They may have only had historical significance before, but now they have acquired an extraordinary significance!
Everyone witnessed the power of Dojigiri Yasutsuna, a power capable of easily slaying demons. Even if it couldn't kill a great demon, it would surely be enough to save one's life in Tokyo, where demons roam freely!
Do other knives also possess this power?
As long as the threat is not in sight, their minds quickly become active, and they start coming up with their own ideas.

Everyone here is a genius at coming up with ideas, and they're clearly faster than Shi Mao. "Your Excellency, they're all saying the knife has disappeared!"

"Disappeared? Ha!" Shi Mao could guess without even using his brain. Disappeared my foot! These people probably just took it and told him they were disappearing.

Indeed, in this country, his so-called prime minister is nothing more than a paperhanger; how could he possibly wield any real power?

"Prime Minister, His Majesty the Emperor has called!" It was at this moment that Shigeru received a call from Naruhito.

"Damn it! Why haven't we driven this monster away yet?!" Naruhito's shout startled Ishigami, who then realized, oh, they still have an Emperor in the Imperial Palace.
The next second, he thought of something, "Your Majesty, do you still have your divine artifact? Should we help you...?"

"Get out! This is a family heirloom!" Naruhito's tone became extremely unfriendly. As the Emperor, he had naturally seen these things, which was why he valued the Three Sacred Treasures so much!

It's a real shame that the man surnamed Minamoto could wield Minamoto no Yorimitsu's sword, while the legitimate emperor, holding the Three Sacred Treasures, had no effect whatsoever.

He couldn't help but recall a terrible rumor: the rumor was that during the Edo period, the emperor was a puppet, unable to have children, so the shoguns would always eagerly help him...

Thinking of this, Deren's expression darkened even more, but then he suddenly remembered that if that were the case, he should be able to wield the Minamoto family's sword as well!
After all, the Minamoto, Ashikaga, and Tokugawa families are all one family!

If others can do it, why can't he?
The Emperor's thoughts were naturally beyond the comprehension of outsiders, which is why many people flocked to the Imperial Palace.

Of course, they also thought of the name of the "Three Divine Artifacts". They saw the previous scene and also saw the future. They had to make plans for the future. Even getting close to the royal family, which had lost its power for a hundred years, was not impossible!
The fact that America's power has waned further proves that this is an extraordinary era.

……

Meanwhile, at the US military base, the extraordinary battle continues, and under the watchful eyes of the world, Abe no Seimei is unleashing his techniques with a yin-yang-like gait!

He taught Kurahashi Seiji to use the Vermilion Bird position, but he was more direct, waving his hand and issuing a command spell: "Mars enters the Ghostly Carriage, the Ghost stands on its body, its soul burns, Vermilion Bird, emerge!"

The next second, a huge firebird appeared in front of him, spreading its wings. Beside Abe no Seimei, a shikigami that looked very much like a human pounced over and merged with the firebird!
"Bing and Ding serve as the guiding force, and the fire of Li breaks through the impurities!"

Abe no Seimei immediately unleashed a powerful attack, flames shooting from Suzaku's wings and landing precisely on Shuten-dōji. However, the attack was blocked by Shuten-dōji's outstretched hand, who even pulled out a gourd-shaped sake bottle from his robes: "Your fire may not be able to break my sake!"

He flicked his wine jug, spraying out countless drops of wine that scattered in the air and actually extinguished the flames!

That wasn't all. He leaped into the air, arrived in front of the enormous, illusory Vermilion Bird, stepped on its head, and poured the wine in his hand onto the Vermilion Bird!

"Screech!" The firebird cried out as it plummeted to the ground, its wings bearing the marks of corrosion.

Meanwhile, on Abe no Seimei's side, a "blue talisman" in his sleeve was slowly burning, a backlash from the severe injury his shikigami had suffered.

"You, a being of demonic and divine form, dare to contend with me here?" After doing all this, Shuten-dōji finally spoke.

Abe no Seimei's expression gradually turned somewhat ugly. After all, what the other party said was true; he was not a real person, but merely a phantom, a shadow that, while possessing power, was still not its true essence! In that instant, many people realized that this seemingly solid person was actually an illusory soul.
"As expected of Lord Seimei, he is so powerful even in this situation!" someone exclaimed.

"This is the true Onmyoji, sacrificing the lives of Americans for our safety!" some praised enthusiastically.

These people aren't stupid. Although Abe no Seimei didn't say it outright, the more than a hundred lives needed for the great formation must have come from this base.

Then this Onmyoji must be one of our own, so we must stand up for him. He can help them destroy the base, and maybe later he can help them get rid of America's control. At that time, the independent country will definitely be very powerful!
Of course, some people will be very unhappy, like those scoundrels!

Fun fact: Every country has its scoundrels, but in Japan, a country where almost everyone is a comprador, the proportion of such people is even more exaggerated!

"What is he doing? He is destroying the peace of this country!"

"Oh dear, it's a sacrifice, you can't sacrifice anywhere! If all else fails, use Koreans! Why use Americans?"

"Exactly, we should cut ties with him. This is a personal matter and shouldn't be brought up to the national level!"

These words echoed in many places, but were interrupted by Abe no Seimei's actions. He opened his hand, revealing twelve shimmering orbs that were beginning to bloom:

"All generals, heed my command!" he roared, and the Twelve Moon Generals suddenly stepped out of the void, arriving at the twelve positions, "Stepping on the star positions to form the Six Harmonies Coffin!"

Then, the painted fan in his hand slowly opened, pointing to the sky, transforming into nothingness: "The four symbols return to emptiness, Mars becomes a nail!"

The power of the four symbols surged forth, instantly pinning Shuten-dōji to the spot, rendering him unable to move.

However, Shuten-dōji was not flustered at all, because he directly tore open his own flesh and transformed into his true form—a ghostly and terrifying demon child with dozens of arms flying around, which looked extremely frightening!
"Abe no Seimei! Your death is near!" he roared, but was shocked to find that the other party did not make a single move.

The killing formation seemed to have never appeared; it simply stared at him with a smile on its lips, saying, "Now! Break!"

While Shuten-dōji was puzzled, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly lowered his head!
He saw it; from inside his stomach, a sword light had already shot out horizontally and cleaved open his belly!
Yes, it's Genji! In all this time, Genji has killed all the demons inside Shuten-dōji's stomach and broken open what was inside him; he's about to come out!
"Abe no Seimei!" Shuten-dōji was furious, but he had no other means to do anything but roar in impotent rage. Then he watched the sword light fly out and quickly flew away into the distance!

Behind him, the Rashomon ghost, even larger and more tumultuous, followed him into the distance.

At this moment, Abe no Seimei finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Genji, who had suddenly appeared beside him. "You did a great job!"

He had indeed reached his limit; his previous actions were merely a bluff. Judging from this, Shuten-dōji was frightened!
"Mr. Seimei, are you alright?" Genji looked at Abe no Seimei with some anxiety. The other man's body was visibly blurring at a speed that seemed to indicate that it was time to leave.

“It’s alright, it’s just time! I’ll be resting at the Yin-Yang Bureau in Kyoto. You can come find me if you want to!” Abe no Seimei said. “And this matter is finally over!”

The two looked up at the sky together. As Shuten-dōji fled and the demons died, the dark clouds that were spreading gradually dissipated, leaving only the dark clouds in the core area of ​​Tokyo that remained condensed and refusing to disperse!

"Mr. Seimei, is this the only way?" Genji said with some regret, looking at the clouds in the sky.

“Yes, this is the only way!” Abe no Seimei nodded, his body turning into specks of light and dissipating. Before disappearing, he smiled and said, “Your life will be greatly changed, child! Go and do what a swordsman should do!”

Genji looked up at the clouds in the sky, at how these clouds divided the city into two almost completely different areas, and for a moment he was stunned.

Tokyo has changed dramatically!
