"can."
"I also want to see what kind of divine power the [Cloud Mirror], which is rumored to be able to reverse time and space, possesses."
Huang readily agreed, his eyes gleaming with keen interest, as if he had completely forgotten all the previous conflicts.
"It will not let you down."
Himiko's eyes lit up with relief upon receiving a response.
After all, the reason she proposed such a peaceful resolution was because she could clearly sense a very powerful force sealed in the other party's left eye.
This is definitely not the illusionary power that Yao Ji claimed.
Rather, it is a destructive force capable of unleashing calamities!
Therefore, she didn't want to make things too embarrassing if they could be resolved peacefully.
Most importantly, beneath the joy of her wedding, Yu Zhi harbored a hidden fear.
This fear was amplified infinitely when the Onmyoji arrived.
but,
She has already come up with a solution!
If you do this, the gods will surely choose to forgive you.
As she presented the Mirror of the Clouds, Queen Himiko's gaze involuntarily fell upon her minister, who was deeply mired in pain.
His eyes held apology and tenderness.
At that time, I will give you everything, Yo-hime.
Concerned about the 'spatial prison' that was constantly approaching him, and the complex expression on the face of the Sun Queen as she stared directly at Yao Ji, Ara seemed to have realized something as well.
For a moment, a meaningful, sarcastic smile quietly appeared on his lips.
"My Queen."
He began with a rather respectful address, but it was difficult to detect any respect in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Himiko turned her gaze back. Although she did not speak, her suddenly cold gaze clearly questioned the newcomer: Is she going to back out?
"Given the promise you made to me, in return, I'd like to remind you of one more thing."
"In certain fundamental rules, what does He truly value? Attitude? Faith? Identity? Status? Or symbolism?"
The words, laced with irony, were uttered one by one, causing the once calm situation to become turbulent again.
Especially from Himiko's increasingly serious gaze, one could see the unease in the Queen's heart.
The "He" that one speaks of must also know who it refers to.
"No,"
"What He values is bloodline and rules."
"The faith possessed by the inhabitants of a city is a precious support for the local gods, and a source of vitality for their continued existence."
"But what does it matter to the supreme being?"
"The world, the planes, His believers and faith are everywhere."
“Breaking the rules and acting against His will are what He cares about and are an intolerable contempt for Him.”
Huang's voice suddenly turned cold.
Because the current situation reminded him of the future of a great demon, or perhaps it was something that had already happened in the past.
Despite possessing terrifying demonic power that could shake the heavens and earth, he was still unable to protect his lover, who was in love with a shrine maiden.
The witch's final fate was also to perish under the rolling divine punishment.
Upon hearing this warning, Himiko showed no obvious emotion except for a momentary violent tremor in her eyes; her expression remained calm and proud.
Whether this is merely a facade she maintains or a genuine plan for her escape remains to be seen.
Because the divine artifact that suddenly advanced to the desolate place had created a serene space out of thin air, and the divine light that filled this space had completely obscured its master behind it.
Clearly, this was Himiko's way of not wanting to respond to her final warning and forcing him to fulfill his previous agreement as soon as possible.
But from another perspective,
Does this indicate that he is once again afraid of "He" and "the future"?
With this speculation in mind, Huang stepped directly into the dark and unknown space before him. However, just as half of his body had disappeared into the divine palace, a faint, soliloquy quietly resounded.
"My illusions are created by disrupting the mental fluctuations in the enemy's mind."
"Therefore, if there is the help or impact of other energies, the person who is affected by the spell will be able to quickly break free from the illusion or guidance created by it."
This was the first time he explained the secrets of the Sharingan to an outsider.
Although the secrets of the Sharingan are no longer a secret in the ninja world, especially since the Konoha Root and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju have conducted almost complete research and analysis of the Sharingan, it is still a powerful ability that is difficult for beings from other dimensions to understand or even crack in the short term.
Upon hearing the sound, Yao Ji subconsciously and slowly raised her eyes.
However, she did not see that person's young, calm, and naturally arrogant face again; all she saw was a receding figure.
At the same time, these words reminded him of the time he escaped from being guided by illusions. Indeed, it was after the protective treasure bestowed by the Queen released its energy that all the negative effects were swept away.
But what does this mean?
Is this a display of power, or an explanation devoid of any remorse?
Yao Ji stared at that retreating figure, her vision blurring, her tightly clenched hands tormenting the anger and resentment in her heart.
"If it's all an illusion, then what illusion could possibly deceive Your Majesty the Queen?"
"So, who exactly is being dishonest with you?"
After uttering two final, nonsensical words, Huang's aura completely vanished from the divine palace.
And it was after hearing these two rhetorical questions that...
Yao Ji suddenly released her tightly clenched hand, as if she had just emerged from a state of loss, and her blurry gaze immediately focused on chasing after the person's back.
But what they saw was a closed space, and the Queen's seemingly calm yet absent-minded state, devoid of her previous joy.
Who exactly is being dishonest with me?
In this strangely oppressive atmosphere, Yao Ji couldn't help but hear the young Onmyoji's final question, as well as his previous words and actions:
【I originally intended to control the lanterns directly through illusion magic, but illusion magic wouldn't work on your queen, would it?】
You'll have to take responsibility for me, like if your queen imprisons me in an endless space.
Leave the rest to me. You don't need to say anything; just continue to stick to your own ideas. Consider this my way of repaying your trust.
Scene after scene, frame after frame, repeated endlessly in Yao Ji's mental sea.
If he has already given up on his plan to hypnotize and guide Lord Wan Deng, who is just an ordinary person, then will it be useful to me?
All falsehoods will be exposed in Her Majesty's eyes.
Would someone with such a behavior resort to such clumsy methods?
Responsibility, trust, and standing together through thick and thin.
So, what exactly did I accomplish?
The magnificent shrine, now devoid of outsiders, did not become more harmonious; instead, it created an even greater, unspeakable distance.
Between Himiko and Yohime, who were originally close retainers.
"Yo-hime".
Finally, the silence that had lasted for who knows how long was broken by Her Majesty the Queen, who sat enthroned on her divine throne.
She softly called to the woman who stood blankly in the hall. Although her elegant and noble face still carried a faint, gentle smile, it had subtly lost the friendliness and tenderness that she had shown before.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The daughter of the great general, who was summoned, also harbored similar thoughts. Her response lacked the original arrogance and complete respect, giving people a mechanical numbness.
At the same time, his gaze did not fall on his own queen, but instead kept following the cloud mirror that flowed with absolute pure white and eternal pitch black, his trembling pupils struggling and repeating.
Himiko naturally noticed Yohime's current state, so she quickly made the secret treasure belonging to the Sun Wheel City disappear in an instant with a wave of her hand, and successfully made the former's gaze fall back on her.
However, when she met the woman's bewildered eyes, her heart clenched suddenly, because she had never seen the woman look so downcast and lost.
Is all of this because of my own lack of honesty?
An unconscious question arose in Himiko's mind, and a violent sense of unease stirred within her. She parted her lips slightly, eager to express the fear hidden in her heart.
However, the words were abruptly changed before they could be uttered.
You must be tired today too.
"Then go back and rest first. I'll need you to perform the ceremony for me on my wedding day."
Because the image of that person suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his figure gradually and firmly pushed Yao Ji and the entire Sun Wheel City behind him.
I'm sorry, Yo-hime.
Two more days, just give me two more days.
"Yes."
Yao Ji accepted the order indifferently.
In Yu Zhi's eyes, the Queen's face still wore the same peaceful and gentle smile as always, but this smile made him feel somewhat unfamiliar and a growing distance between them.
【But,】
But Your Majesty, didn't you say...?
"Peace of mind,"
"I will not do anything to that Onmyoji. I will release him in three days as promised and lend him the Cloud Mirror, no matter what the reason."
"I swear in the name of the sun."
Seeing that although Yo-hime responded, she did not leave as promised, and her slightly moving lips clearly indicated that she wanted to say something, Queen Himiko, who thought she had seen through everything, immediately made her vow again.
At the same time, a meaningful, gentle smile appeared on Yu Zhi's face.
"Unbeknownst to us, Yo-hime has grown up quite a bit."
