Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Shiki Eiki glanced at the Word Spirit still standing beside Gu Yun behind her: "That one, could it also be..."

"Words of power are not."

"I can rest assured that."

Shiki Eiki is afraid of Word Spirits, but there's nothing she can do about it; after all, the latter represents the will of the afterlife.

Just like the food chain, the three wills of the afterlife, the next life, and the present life exert a special bloodline suppression on these people.

Coupled with the previous actions of the Word Spirit playing the bad cop, it really terrified Shiki Eiki.

In short, she has absolutely no desire to deal with that white-haired little devil right now, and it would be best to stay as far away from her as possible.

"After some time, Kotomine, you and Miss Eiki should find an opportunity to ease the tension between you."

Gu Yun still didn't want any conflict among his shikigami: "That matter was originally a misunderstanding. If you want to make trouble, I won't stop you."

"But from now on, Eiki will be our companion, so you can't bully her anymore."

"Okay, got it."

Yan Ling pouted in dissatisfaction; she knew that Gu Yun hoped everyone could live in harmony.

Normally, Yan Ling would act recklessly, and Gu Yun would always indulge him, but on such a crucial issue, Yan Ling dared not be ambiguous in the slightest.

Otherwise, if Gu Yun were to slap her, he would definitely make her little bottom swell up.

"Yes, don't force yourself, that's good enough."

Gu Yun would also protect Yan Ling's face and wouldn't say something as absurd as asking her to apologize to Shiki Eiki.

Gu Yun would be content as long as Yan Ling was willing to take a step back.

"Then, it's Lord Enma's turn next."

Upon realizing this, Gu Yun's spiritual senses instantly activated, and he immediately sensed the presence of the awakening will of the other world: "Lord Yama, are you nearby?"

"I'm here."

Enma can converse with Suzuka, so she can naturally speak with Tanigumo: "Is it to awaken my power?"

"Ah, just like Miketsu and Kotodama, I will create a new body for you."

"It's not new."

Enma laughed and said, "I've never had a physical body before."

So, this is the first time she's going to give her first time to Gu Yun.

"..."

Before even awakening Yama, Gu Yun had already sketched her image in his mind: a seemingly dignified queen who was actually incredibly lewd and loved to tease younger boys.

"Please be more dignified, Lord Enma. At least for now, do not shatter my expectations of the aloof queen."

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he began to mobilize his spiritual power and summoned the Hundred Ghosts Scroll, unfolding the one depicting Yama in front of him.

“My name is Iijima Tanigumo. With my spirit, I have been born into this world to be engraved in this scroll.”

"Wake up!"

Gu Yun's eyes shone with boundless spiritual light: "The supreme ruler of the afterlife, Yama!"

Chapter 327 Enma Awakens

"Boom~~"

A purplish-black aura of death permeated the air, gathering like a storm before Gu Yun.

The earth shook violently, and the underworld, where everyone was located, was the first to be affected. The underworld palace shook violently, and the ghosts and spirits in the palace felt as small and insignificant as a small boat on the sea.

"This, this power, this aura!"

The powerful underworld gods immediately sensed Yama's will. It was the afterlife singing praises, and everything in the other world cheering for the arrival of that will!

Every blade of grass and every tree here, from the grand mountains and lakes to the smallest speck of dust.

Whether sentient or not, they were all facing the same direction, bowing respectfully to that one being.

"coming."

In the Little Paradise of the Underworld, Goshiro Kotaki and Gosho Iijima exchanged a glance, then rose together and bowed in reverence: "That child really did awaken that one!"

Whoever you are, as long as you live in this afterlife, you should have a grateful heart towards the Lord of the afterlife.

She protected the spirit of Zhong Sheng.

It was she who gave all living beings a selfless refuge, allowing their souls to find peace.

Even the demons in hell, despite suffering all kinds of tortures, have nothing to do with the Lord of the Other World.

What we call good and evil is a matter for all living beings themselves.

Just like you can blame the jailer who guards the prison, but you can't say that heaven and earth are wrong.

Without heaven and earth, where would you be?

Your basic needs for survival, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and even your very existence, are all based on the permission of the rules of heaven and earth.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A carefree and cold laugh came from above everyone's heads. Gu Yun looked up and saw a figure that was exactly the same as the Yama in his memory, floating in mid-air.

She opened her arms, her beautiful eyes revealing a coldness that conveyed nobility and dominance.

"Finally, I've come to touch this world!"

Enma clenched her hands, personally experiencing the unprecedented beauty brought by this body: "Ah, what a pleasant feeling this is, it's wonderful!"

"Hey, what's with this guy from the other world, acting all villainous?!"

Yanling couldn't help but complain, as her relationship with Enma had never been good.

After all, given Yanling's personality, she's a foul-mouthed brat, the kind who'll complain endlessly even if you give her just a little task.

The afterlife is connected to the next life. Souls come from this life and eventually return to the next life, where their destination is arranged.

In some ways, the one who works the hardest here is not anyone else, but the Word Spirit.

The cycle of reincarnation consists of three steps: birth, death, and reincarnation.

Birth is the present world. The whole process doesn't require any special action; it simply involves providing a stage for all beings to perform.

Death is the afterlife, and its function is to judge how well these souls perform in this world.

Finally, the Word Spirit must, based on the judgment of the afterlife, choose to reintroduce each soul into the present world. This door-to-door delivery of souls is far more troublesome than the previous two methods.

'Don't always dump your troubles on me, you two bastards!'

From the moment Yanling was born, she was like the youngest daughter in a family, always being bullied by her two older sisters.

She was given all the dirty and tiring work, which is why Yanling developed a foul-mouthed, arrogant, and weak-defense female devil personality.

"Oh, isn't this the brat?"

Enma noticed Kotodama and Miketsu immediately and recognized their identities.

Good and evil are twin sisters; here we are referring to the pure world and the impure world.

In the afterlife, the present life, and the next life, they are an even closer family. Enma is the eldest sister, the oldest, and the most senior, while Konohamaru in the next life is the youngest sister, and the weakest one.

"what!"

Yan Ling pointed at Yama and said, "You wicked woman from the other world, with that arrogant look, the suit your master chose for you is exactly the same as his!"

"Bad woman?"

Enma's eyes twitched slightly, and she instantly transformed into a phantom. She appeared behind Yanling, and her two fists turned into poisonous dragon drills, spinning fiercely on both sides of the female imp's head.

"You're getting bolder and bolder! Have you forgotten even the most basic manners when you see your older sister?!"

"Ouch~~ That hurts~~ Let go of me right now, you filthy woman!"

"Stinky woman? Heh."

Enma is practically the nemesis of Word Spirits, employing a variety of punitive methods to easily subdue them.

"Forehead…"

Seeing this, Gu Yun was both amused and exasperated: "Were you sisters originally?"

"Who's her sister?!"

The little imp continued to be stubborn, but after being glared at by Enma, she backed down: "Okay, okay, you're the big sister, alright?"

"That's pretty much it."

Enma wasn't really bullying Kotodama.

The three sisters from different lifetimes actually have a very good relationship, but their personalities are slightly different, and their strength varies significantly due to their personalities.

Of the three, the one in the present world should have been the strongest, but he perished early and is now in a state of near death.

Of the remaining two, Yanling is too mischievous and has a very rough grasp of her own power, which makes her the weakest of the three sisters.

As for Enma, she is more mature and composed, and her understanding of power far surpasses that of Kotodama.

To put it bluntly, if all the world's wills were ranked by combat power, Kotodama would be a little sister, while Enma's strength would be enough to rank her among the top three existing world wills.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have accepted it in the first place."

Yanling secretly regretted that she had obtained a physical body earlier than Yama, while at that time, the other world had not even formed its own consciousness.

The three sisters mentioned earlier are themselves anthropomorphic.

In fact, among the three wills, only the Word of Power possesses the ability to think independently, while the Otherworld and the Presentworld are more like two emotionless workaholics who only follow their instincts.

They were conscientious and required the spirits to be just as diligent.

The spirit has self-awareness and naturally cannot agree with its two older sisters' ideas, so it starts to do all sorts of tricks and schemes, and is then constantly taught a lesson by them.

Not long ago, Enma's consciousness was awakened from chaos due to the birth of the messenger of the underworld.

At that time, the power of words could have caused a great disturbance in the afterlife.

Enma, with only self-awareness, is utterly powerless against the power of words, much like a sick older sister encountering a lively younger sister.
