Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"The gods residing in Takamagahara, at the command of the ancestral god, gathered eight million gods together. After several discussions and deliberations, it was decided that Imperial Son-no-Mikoto would rule the province of Toyoashihara Mizuho, ​​establishing a peaceful and stable nation. However, within the territory entrusted to Imperial Son-no-Mikoto's rule, there exist disobedient gods..."

Grandpa took out a piece of paper covered with blessings from his pocket and began to read it aloud at a rapid pace.

Time, space, even the candlelight and shadows seemed to grow ever brighter.

"Ok?"

Gu Yun noticed something was wrong: "It's not that the candlelight has become brighter, but rather, the sky has turned dark!"

It got dark. Just a moment ago it was daytime, but suddenly it became pitch black, like the darkest hour in Japanese legend.

"what happened?"

"Why is it dark?"

At this moment, the residents of the Mitsugawa area looked up blankly at the dim sky.

The misty air shrouded the twilight, like a blank sheet of paper splashed with oil paint, transforming it into the world-famous painting 'Starry Night'.

The residents' gazes gradually went blank, as if they were frozen in the gap between the real world and the hidden world as the twilight hour approached.

"Ding bell~~"

"jingle!"

In theory, to communicate directly with the gods, one must first perform a ritual to invoke them.

But inviting the gods is by no means an easy task.

Even official sorcerers and mages would need dozens or even hundreds of people chanting together for an entire day to possibly make the sun and moon alternate and light and darkness reverse.

Yet here, a mere handful of people accomplished a feat unimaginable to others.

"coming."

Almost simultaneously, Grandpa and Grandma Sanchui opened their eyes, staring intently ahead.

"Dingling~"

Miss Tianhu stopped what she was doing, and Grandpa immediately said in a deep voice, "Gu Yun, activate the domain of your Spirit Vision Technique and pull us in!"

The Spirit Vision Technique not only allows one to transcend realms, but also enables the creation of independent barriers, like domains, covering a certain area.

"Snapped!"

Gu Yun clasped his hands together, channeling his spiritual power. The special 'vision' brought by his spiritual vision technique connected with everyone present.

Konghuan doesn't need it, not only because of her connection with Guyun, but also because she has now become the Inari Goddess and is qualified to look directly at her own kind.

"Dong dong!"

"Hmm~"

Miyako broke out in a cold sweat. She clutched her chest, feeling as if something inside her was about to burst out, and she was in great discomfort.

"This is?"

As her gaze moved upward, Miyako felt the wall in front of her disappear, replaced by an endless expanse of blue sea.

On the sea, a pale blue figure slowly appeared, gradually becoming real.

This is a female deity, wearing a golden crown with nine dragons on her head, holding a snake in her left hand and a flower in her right, sitting atop a vast and boundless whale.

"This appearance...no way..."

Grandpa seemed to recognize the female deity's identity, but he wasn't sure, so he said to Gu Yun, "Don't use spiritual vision to change the spiritual and physical status. Focus it in your eyes and see where she comes from."

Awakening Quest: Contact five dragon-shaped demons and deities (3/5)

The sudden scroll prompt was too much for Gu Yun to pay attention to; he needed to focus his attention on the deity before him.

"she is…"

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils turning silvery-white in an instant. At the same time, the title of this deity came to mind: "Water Empress? Grandpa, her name is Water Empress."

"It's a bit troublesome."

Clearly, Miss Tianhu also knew the goddess's origins: "Those idiots from the Sanchui family actually dared to make a deal with the Twelve Heavens, they're simply insane!"

Why do you call me by my name?

At that moment, Empress Shui opened her eyes, initially drawn to a glimmer of silver light.

Before she could even look over, Kong Huan had already stepped between her and Gu Yun, blocking her view.

"Oh, you are a god, a true god?"

Shui Tianhou saw the golden light emanating from Miss Tianhu, and at some point, Konghuan was wearing a light golden feather robe, like a celestial maiden from the divine realm, holy and pure.

"Unknown Inari god, why have you summoned me?"

"My name is Tianhu Konghuan."

Miss Tianhu bowed to Empress Shui and said, "I would like to make a deal with you."

"Please say."

Both are deities, beings of equal status.

If an ordinary mortal dared to speak to a god like that, the Water Goddess would surely be furious.

"I want to take this child under your protection. Please lift the curse from her."

Looking at the Miyako shown in the illusion, Queen Suiten pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, what are you willing to exchange for her?"

"What do you want?"

Kong Huan breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of anything else, except that Empress Shui Tian wouldn't listen to reason or pressure.

As long as she's willing to talk to me, then there's plenty to discuss.

"he!"

Shui Tianhou pointed a finger at Miss Tianhu, but Konghuan knew that what the other party wanted was not her, but...

"Please, don't joke around."

As both are deities, Konghuan is not afraid of Shui Tianhou. Their levels are comparable, and if they were to fight, neither of them would fare well.

"A boy as precious as a jewel, what a beautiful gem, so enviable."

"This is impossible!"

Konghuan immediately refused. If it weren't for Miyako, she probably would have rushed over and attacked her.

She is Gu Yun's guardian angel; coveting him is forbidden for Miss Tianhu.

"Boom~~"

The blue sea churned, and the Queen of Water and Sky said no more.

"It's alright, I'll get it myself!"

Instantly, several blue water dragons condensed in the air and rushed towards the crowd with the force of a raging torrent.

"Has this guy been eyeing him from the very beginning?"

Clearly, the negotiations failed. The other party was not an easy person to talk to, and was quite arrogant and extremely willful.

Since that's the case, then they don't need to be polite.

I respect you as a god, which is why I invited you here. But if you are an unwelcome guest, then demons and monsters will be exorcised!

"Iijima, Pillar Woman, raise the barrier."

As soon as Miss Tianhu finished speaking, Grandpa and Granny Sanchui immediately reached out and made a sweeping motion in front of them. The powerful spiritual energy was like a sharp blade, separating this alien space.

"Boom~~"

Pure white light shot into the sky, quickly condensing into a semi-transparent barrier.

This line is the line of boundary.

Ahead lies the domain of the Water Queen, which extends only to the two old men, their bodies serving as walls, doors, and barriers to isolate and seal it off.

"Ding bell~~"

The Kagura bell rang again, and Kūgen unleashed his divine power, transforming golden ears of wheat into farmland, and a vermilion torii gate rose into the air: "Inari: Fox Hunting Realm!"

"Boom!"

The water dragon crashed into the barrier, but was neutralized by the ethereal divine power. The Water Queen frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that an unknown Inari god would possess the power to block her.

"You are too presumptuous!"

Kong Huan's face was very ugly; she had originally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully.

But now it seems that this matter won't be resolved without a fight.

"That's fine!"

His ethereal eyes transformed into beastly pupils: "Then I'll use brute force to subdue you!"

"Miss Hongye, Brother Banruo, please protect our young master."

"Wow~~"

Red leaves spun like a hurricane, falling from the sky, while two ghostly faces emitted terrifying sneers amidst the dark, incantation-filled flames.

"Please rest assured and leave it to us, Miss Tianhu."

On either side of Gu Yun, the demon girl Hongye and Hannya protected their master with their own power.

Their power is insufficient to directly reach the Water Queen.

Gods are beings that are not strong offensively, but have incredibly powerful immunity and resistance.

If they are focused on hiding from demons, even the most powerful monsters can't do anything to them.

"demon?"

On the other side, Shui Tianhou noticed Hongye and Banruo immediately.

The two high-ranking demons, though the Water Queen was not afraid, evoked genuine disgust: "To associate with demons, Inari God, have you fallen?"
