I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Seeing Longmo Li Mo standing in front of the office's floor-to-ceiling window, turning to look at her, Mizuki Shiranui instantly felt as if she had been completely seen through. This strange feeling of being completely seen through, which she had never experienced even when she was bullied by Longmo Li Mo before, made her instinctively sense that something was wrong, but she dared not say anything and instead respectfully bowed and greeted him.

As a powerful anti-demon ninja, Mizuki Shiranui is not as easy to lower one's guard as her appearance suggests. If you only look at Mizuki Shiranui without knowing her true identity, you might mistake her for a beautiful and mature woman with a fiery figure and charming face that can make men stare and think about how to get close to this beauty. However, few people know that Mizuki Shiranui is extremely strong. With her own special ability, she is probably enough to go toe-to-toe with an ordinary great demon. Ordinary mid-level demons and demonized creatures would be easy prey to fight her one-on-one.

At this moment, Mizuki Shiranui inexplicably felt that the villain in front of her, who claimed to be Li Mo and was extremely powerful, seemed to be like an ordinary person to her. However, Mizuki Shiranui, who had been captured by Longmo Li Mo through underhanded means and forced to compromise by threatening her daughter's safety, knew very well that Longmo Li Mo was definitely not an ordinary person, and that his actions were even more insidious and vicious.

In this regard, Mizuki Shiranui had some misunderstandings about Dragon Demon Li Mo. He himself did not want to go too far and had already restrained his habits developed in the Demon Realm. However, in the gray areas of Japan and even other countries around the world, if you don't have some strength and a tough style, aren't you just a pushover?

However, when Dragon Demon Li Mo attacked Shuicheng Shiranui, it was indeed out of his own volition. After all, he had endured for so long in both the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, so he naturally wouldn't let go of a beauty he fancied!

"Shiranui, do you seem to be somewhat afraid of me?"

Seeing Mizuki Shiranui's sharp reaction, Dragon Demon Li Mo raised an eyebrow and looked at his secretary. He had previously used some control measures on her, but upon closer examination, he didn't really understand her completely.

Strictly speaking, Longmo Li Mo and Shuicheng Shiranui knew each other very well in terms of physical appearance. They knew that this beautiful woman was a descendant of a family of anti-demon ninja, with outstanding talent and mastery of wind-type abilities. She was a top-tier anti-demon ninja whose strength slightly surpassed that of the former leader, Asagi. However, when she withdrew from the front line due to pregnancy, her husband died in battle during a mission. In grief and anger, she raised her daughter, Yukikaze, while also returning to her position in the anti-demon ninja.

In his previous statement, Dragon Demon Li Mo had captured Mizuki Shiranui because he knew her general information. At the time, he needed a capable person who could stand alone but could not attract too much attention. Mizuki Shiranui was simply delivered to his doorstep and was captured by him. After some coercion and enticement, he kept her by his side, then subtly released the news that she had disappeared in a certain area. He also captured several elite members of the Anti-Demon Ninja, successfully causing the Anti-Demon Ninja to disintegrate, before keeping her by his side as a secretary.

In this regard, it's probably something that even Mizuki Shiranui herself wouldn't believe if she said she was loyal to Ryumo Li Mo. Fortunately, Li Mo managed to get Mizuki Shiranui to work for him by using her weakness and making certain guarantees. Now, Ryumo Li Mo is preparing to change the status quo!

"……Yes!"

Compared to Longmo Li Mo's ulterior motives, Mizushiro Shiranui had countless thoughts flashing through her mind in an instant, but she still answered with certainty.

Is Mizuki Shiranui afraid of Dragon Demon Li Mo?

The answer to this question is yes. If she were alone, even if the Dragon Demon Li Mo had humiliated her, Mizuki Shiranui would not have chosen to submit. She would have chosen to escape even if there was only the slightest chance, rather than serving him.

In particular, when Mizuki Shiranui saw that her acquaintances, Iori and Asagi, Iori Sakura and Akiyama Rinko, had all been captured by Ryumo Li Mo, she became even more wary of Ryumo Li Mo's existence. It was only then that she had no choice but to bow her head and agree to Ryumo Li Mo's conditions. In exchange for his guarantee of protecting her daughter's safety and for him not attacking the remaining anti-demon ninjas, she would work for Ryumo Li Mo along with Iori and Asagi.

Longmo Li Mo kept his promise to himself. Even though he managed to disband the Anti-Demon Ninja through the major forces in Japan, he did not pursue them but instead provided them with some protection. This was the reason for the complicated feelings in Mizuki Shiranui's heart. At least in this respect, she had to admit the value of Longmo Li Mo's promise.

Whether as a mother or an anti-demon ninja, Mizushiro Shiranui did not want her daughter to enter this line of work. The disbandment of the anti-demon ninja was actually a relief to her, at least she didn't have to worry about her daughter Yukikaze's safety...

"That's absolutely true!"

Upon hearing Mizuki Shiranui's answer, Dragon Demon Li Mo nodded in acknowledgment of the truthfulness of her words. He then looked at her with interest and uttered something that made Mizuki Shiranui wonder if she had misheard: "So, if I were to give you a chance to become stronger, would you then have the resolve to challenge me or leave?"

When he said these words, Longmo Li Mo's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant. However, Shuicheng Shiranui was shocked. She stared at Longmo Li Mo with wide eyes, not knowing what kind of thoughts this man was thinking.

Having witnessed the methods of Longmo Li Mo firsthand and having helped handle many affairs of Longmo Li Mo's current forces, Mizuki Shiranui naturally knew how powerful Longmo Li Mo's Dark Star Group was. Saying it was ranked number one in Japan would be an exaggeration, but it had considerable influence in the Tokyo metropolitan area and even throughout Japan. It also had transactions with many forces in China and America, and privately dabbled in Japan's gray areas, making it a powerful force that could operate in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Otherwise, as one of the demon-slaying organizations tacitly approved by the Japanese government, the Anti-Demon Ninja would not have been so easily banned. Besides the fact that demons and mutated creatures are becoming increasingly rare in Japan, and the fact that the elite members of the Anti-Demon Ninja failed in their missions several times, the most important reason was the intervention of the Dark Star Group arranged by Dragon Demon Li Mo, which led to the Anti-Demon Ninja being banned. The remaining members either left or made their own way, which made Mizuki Shiranui sigh inwardly.

However, Mizuki Shiranui never expected that the Dragon Demon Li Mo, who was known for his ruthless ways, would suddenly become a different person and speak to her, saying that he could help her become stronger and even challenge her. What was going on?

"Don't bully Shiranui-neechan!"

In the luxurious office, Mizuki Shiranui was unsure how to respond to Ryumo Li Mo's inexplicable words. Her pretty face was stiff and beads of sweat were forming on her forehead when suddenly the office door was opened. A clear and melodious female voice broke the tense atmosphere, causing both Ryumo Li Mo and Mizuki Shiranui to turn their attention to the office door.

When Longmo Li Mo and Shuicheng Shiranui looked over, they saw a spirited girl with short orange hair run in, followed by several beautiful women with different styles!

(Well, I finally found the character design for Mizuki Shiranui in the game version; other risqué images will probably be censored!)

Chapter 3 Meeting and Gift

"I'm sorry! Lord Li Mo, Sakura didn't mean it!"

Seeing that Longmo Li Mo was looking over, another beautiful woman with emerald green hair, who looked similar to the energetic orange-haired girl but appeared older and was wearing a JK-style outfit, stepped forward, stood in front of her sister, and apologized in a low voice.

Igawa Asahi and Igawa Cherry Blossoms!

The first two beautiful women to appear were none other than the stunning sisters from the Anti-Demon Ninja. Known as the strongest Anti-Demon Ninja of the era, Ii and Asagi, along with her sister Iihe Sakura, who depended on each other for survival, were now subordinates of the Dragon Demon Li Mo.

Not only the sisters Igawa Asahi and Igawa Sakura, but also two elites from the Anti-Manin, Akiyama Rinko and Yatsu Yukari, entered the luxurious office. The two of them were much more reserved than Igawa Asahi and Igawa Sakura. Also entering the office with the four former Anti-Manin elites was a blonde, blue-eyed beauty who looked holy and could be considered an absolute beauty.

If any experts from the Demon Ninja or the Starry Sky Church were present, they would immediately recognize their own people who have mysteriously disappeared or been declared dead in battle over the past few years. Then, Dragon Demon Li Mo and the Dark Star Group he leads would definitely be in serious trouble.

There's nothing we can do. It's alright against the demon ninjas, since they've already been broken up by Dragon Demon Li Mo's methods. Even if someone in Japan wants to investigate, Japan, with the support of my Great Ming and America, has established a new demon-hunting department and won't support them in digging deeper. Otherwise, would the two fathers and the new beneficiaries of Japan just stand by and do nothing?

The situation of the Starry Sky Church is completely different. As the Church of the Cross and the Starry Moon Church that replaced the modern world before Li Mo's transmigration, its status and power have spread throughout Europe and the Americas for thousands of years with the support of a certain amount of supernatural power. Even the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asia, which are within the territory of my Great Ming, actually have supporters and strongholds of the Starry Sky Church. In Japan, there are also a mess of religious forces such as the Starry Sky Church, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism and even the Devil Church.

That blonde, blue-eyed beauty was none other than Sharon Hollie Greer, one of the female protagonists of the original novel "Kiss of the Contract," also known as the nun from the Starry Sky Church who called herself "Pure Sharon." In reality, she was being trained by the Starry Sky Church as an elite exorcist. However, a few years ago, when Sharon had just begun her initial trial in Europe, she was captured by the great demon Li Mo, who was investigating a certain demon girl.

Therefore, if the Starry Sky Church discovers that Sister Sharon, who was considered one of the elite exorcist candidates, has not died but has fallen into the hands of the Dark Star Group, this powerful Starry Sky Church will definitely cause trouble for Dragon Demon Li Mo.

This is no joke. It's not that the Starry Sky Church can't afford to lose a promising elite exorcist, but losing him in a battle to exterminate demons is a completely different matter from being captured by other forces. Even if it's just for the sake of the Church's reputation, the Starry Sky Church will react to this. It's not that they can send a large number of elites to gang up on the Dragon Demon Li Mo, whose identity has not yet been revealed, but with the Church's influence, it's really not difficult at all to trip up the Dark Star Group.

Therefore, Sharon and Mizuki Shiranui received the same treatment. They used to stay in the headquarters of the Dark Star Group. Occasionally, they could go out with Longmo Li Mo, but they always disguised their appearance and clothing so that people who knew them could not recognize them!

"It's alright, Sakura, you don't need to be nervous. I'm actually telling Shiranui some good news, not preparing to punish her!"

Hearing Igawa Asagi's tense demeanor and Igawa Sakura's slightly sullen and adorable appearance, Dragon Demon Li Mo leisurely walked up to the two sisters, put his arms around their waists, and spoke gently to Igawa Sakura.

Well, there's no way around it. The great demon Li Mo had previously devised a plan to capture the leader of the Demon Ninja and several elite members, but he had to go to great lengths to subdue them.

You mean just kill them?

Li Mo, the former great demon, felt it was a pity. While the soul power of the female ninjas of the Anti-Demon Ninja was indeed quite good, he had already obtained a lot of death row inmates as raw materials from other forces in Japan, so he really didn't lack the souls of a few more Anti-Demon Ninjas and nuns.

Did they choose to release Igawa Asagi and the others?

This option was even worse. The Great Demon Li Mo was certain that Igawa Asagi and the others, who had been tricked once, would definitely not pretend that nothing had happened. They would definitely investigate him and the Dark Star Group. In order to solve the problem once and for all, he used various means. First, he dismantled the Anti-Demon Ninja organization, and then he defeated Igawa Asagi, Igawa Sakura, Akiyama Rinko and other Anti-Demon Ninja one by one.

As for the methods used, they were naturally nothing more than coercion and enticement. However, Asahi Igawa, Shiranui Mizuki, and Sharon were not easily fooled. They did not stay because of the incriminating evidence or promises held by the Great Demon Li Mo. Even if the Great Demon Li Mo used the demonic brand he had researched to control them, it would be a lie to say that they had a high level of affection for the Great Demon Li Mo. Even though the Great Demon Li Mo had already had intimate relationships with them, it seemed to be limited to physical pleasure.

As for Sakura Igawa, Rinko Akiyama, and Yukari Yazu, the three of them are either inexperienced or not very worldly-wise. Instead, they are closer to the Great Demon Li Mo. Previously, the Great Demon Li Mo was very gentle with the three beautiful girls who were too well-developed and did not look like high school girls at all. Otherwise, Sakura Igawa would not have rushed into the office just now and scolded the Dragon Demon Li Mo in an attempt to stop him from punishing Shiranui Mizushiro.

If it were Igawa Asagi, she really wouldn't dare to yell at Ryumo Li Mo directly, because she was worried that he might make a move against Mizuki Shiranui or her sister. She and Sharon both had a consensus on this point: they would never overestimate Ryumo Li Mo's moral bottom line, because he was sometimes completely unscrupulous.

In this regard, Dragon Demon Li Mo was well aware of the situation. It was simply that he had to maintain control over Igawa Asagi and Sharon, while he felt more at ease with Igawa Sakura and the others. To put it simply, it was easier to coax naive and innocent girls.

"..."*N

Upon hearing Longmo Li Mo's words, even Igawa Sakura, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, looked at him suspiciously. Igawa Asagi and Sharon felt even more wary, as they knew he was no good person and would often stab them in the back. Now that he suddenly said he had good news about Mizuki Shiranui, they had to believe him.

Even Sakura Igawa, Yukari Yazumi, and Rinko Akiyama, who had a relatively good relationship with Ryumo Li Mo, were somewhat skeptical of what Ryumo Li Mo said. They thought that Ryumo Li Mo might be up to some bad idea, which seemed more believable!

"Good news? Li Mo, what good news could that be for Shiranui-nee?!"

Before Ikawa Sakura could speak again, Yatsushi, who possessed superhuman strength that was completely incongruous with her slender and graceful figure, and whose usual weapon was a heavy axe, preemptively asked Ryumo Rimo a question, causing everyone else to look at Ryumo Rimo even more.

"Yes, this should be a good thing for Shiranui and all of you. Let's accept this new power!"

At this moment, Dragon Demon Li Mo no longer intended to hide anything. He directly extended his right index finger and, with lightning speed, touched the foreheads of Igawa Asagi and Igawa Sakura. A ray of light then merged into their bodies. Then, in front of Mizushiro Shiranui, Sharon, Akiyama Rinko, and Yatsu Murasaki, he dodged their instinctive counterattacks like a phantom and sent a little bit of light into their bodies.

Buzz~!

Before the demon ninja and nun could say anything, they simultaneously felt that point of light merge into their bodies. The flood of memories made the demon ninja and nun feel as if they were hearing the sound of a great bell, and they quickly understood and integrated the many memories that came to them.

What Dragon Demon Li Mo bestowed upon them were naturally good things, originating from many of Li Mo's most frequently used [Seeds of the Extraordinary]. However, the one he used was the latest modified version of the [Seeds of the Extraordinary], which removed the mental influence on the fuselage user. It was entirely related to the memories of the inheritance of the extraordinary power system, and a seed of extraordinary power with no backup.

This kind of "Seed of Extraordinary Power" is something Li Mo only uses on his closest people, such as important subordinates and soldiers who are absolutely loyal to him. Moreover, this is also a modification of the "Seed of Extraordinary Power" that Li Mo made for his partners after he became stronger. Otherwise, Li Mo, who was still weak, would not want to cultivate too powerful potential enemies. For example, Li Mo in the Naruto world did not consider using this kind of "Seed of Extraordinary Power" on those female ninjas.

After all, unless the smaller one completely commanded the larger one, Li Mo understood what choices the female ninjas from other ninja villages would make when faced with an outsider and their own village. If you weren't strong enough and you brought out this kind of extraordinary power with a different lineage, it would only cause trouble for yourself if word got out. But now, Dragon Demon Li Mo didn't care. He knew that his current strength was enough to dominate the human world of the Kiss of Contract world.

Under these circumstances, Dragon Demon Li Mo naturally wouldn't care about the threats posed to the demon ninja and nun. He even removed the previous restrictive measures on them. Apart from their Qi and Blood National Martial Arts, breathing techniques, and supernatural ability training methods, each of them didn't have any other special extraordinary power inheritances. However, in the world of Kiss of Contract, this was already considered a decent inheritance.

When Igawa Asagi, whose overall strength was arguably the strongest among the anti-demon ninjas, regained consciousness, she looked at the dragon demon Li Mo, who was still holding her waist, and the other anti-demon ninjas and nuns who were gradually waking up. She couldn't help but speak her mind:

"...Aren't you afraid that you're raising a tiger that will eventually harm you?"

Chapter 4: The strong do not care about the challenges of the weak!

"...Aren't you afraid that you're raising a tiger that will eventually harm you?"

When they spoke their minds, not only did Igawa Asagi look at Longmo Li Mo with complicated eyes, but even Mizuki Shiranui and Sharon were somewhat puzzled. They really didn't know what Longmo Li Mo was thinking.

In the mixed world of Kiss of Contract, despite the presence of Demon Ninjas, Starry Sky Church and various supernatural power organizations, the inheritance of supernatural power is a completely different concept!

In Japan, the inheritance of extraordinary power mostly stems from various fusion experiments with demons and other creatures, coupled with the opportunities brought about by the collision between the human world and the demon world, which has led to a few relatively stable paths for the inheritance of extraordinary power.

The problem is that the Demon Ninja Organization's path of superpowers, which is basically passed down through bloodlines, is already the most numerous in the Japanese supernatural power system. Other paths, such as swordsmanship and martial arts, are only possible for top-tier experts who have truly entered the supernatural realm to directly confront low-level demons or relatively weak mid-level demons. However, the probability of that happening is comparable to winning the lottery, and it's less effective than increasing the firepower of the police.

After all, the influence of the supernatural power in the Kiss of Contract hybrid world is not too strong. At least compared to the technological development of mankind over a thousand years, the supernatural power of Japan is more limited to a certain level. Even if someone wants to develop Japan's own supernatural power, they will be hindered by others and unable to develop and grow stronger.

In comparison, major powers like the Starry Sky Church, the Ming Dynasty, and America are far superior to Japan in this regard. The former two are powerful forces with a history spanning thousands of years, possessing rich experience in researching demons and other extraordinary species, and maintaining multiple extraordinary paths. The latter, however, has embarked on the path of extraordinary technology. Just looking at the original plot of "Kiss of the Contract," the special single-soldier mech used by Sharon employed extraordinary technology researched from demons, and its power was indeed quite impressive.

However, including several former members of the Demon Ninja and even the former nun, they never expected that Dragon Demon Li Mo would actually grant them the inheritance of three extraordinary powers. Just looking at the Qi and Blood National Martial Arts, Breathing Techniques, and Supernatural Ability Training Methods, apart from the last one which has relatively high requirements for the user, the first two are quite universal. In Japan and even in countries around the world, these are very rare and precious extraordinary inheritances.

Such extraordinary inheritance could bring considerable benefits to any country, so why would Dragon Demon Li Mo give it to them? You must know that Jing, Asagi, and Mizuki Shiranui still harbor hostility towards Dragon Demon Li Mo!

"Heh, raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

Upon hearing Jinghe Asagi's words, Dragon Demon Li Mo couldn't help but chuckle twice. He suddenly turned to look at the several beautiful women, and the invisible pressure he exuded made them feel a sense of oppression. Then they heard his domineering voice: "Only the weak would consider raising a tiger to cause trouble. The strong don't care about the challenges of the weak. If you can defeat me just by relying on the extraordinary inheritance I gave you, then it only proves that there is something wrong with me. I am not a true strong person at all!"

Dragon Demon Li Mo's words were forceful and resounding, making Igawa Asagi, Mizushiro Shiranui, Sharon, and even Igawa Sakura seem to have come to know Dragon Demon Li Mo anew. He no longer seemed to be playing tricks and schemes, but had become open and honest.

What Jing and Asagi didn't know was that the former Great Demon Li Mo didn't actually have a suitable extraordinary inheritance. He couldn't just go and corrupt them, could he?

In that case, once it's highly likely that he'll be exposed as a great demon from the Demon Realm, the great demon Li Mo will definitely lose the identity and wealth he's painstakingly built up, and will also face a joint pursuit from major powers such as Japan, the Ming Dynasty, and America.

If it weren't for his truly lack of intelligence, the Great Demon Li Mo wouldn't have considered doing that. Moreover, if Igawa Asahi and Mizuki Shiranui knew Li Mo's true identity, they would probably have their tempers flared up even though they were barely under control, and would have righteously betrayed the Great Demon Li Mo. But now, the Dragon Demon Li Mo has devoured the bloodline of the Great Demon, so even the special testing machines of various forces would not be able to detect any abnormalities.

Or rather, Dragon Demon Li Mo no longer needs to worry about his identity being exposed. With his strength to rely on, he seems somewhat unscrupulous, even giving them extraordinary inheritances and removing the hidden traps placed on them.

Of course, Ryumo wasn't so foolish as to blindly bestow extraordinary inheritances. For example, he wouldn't give away extraordinary inheritances like chakra ninjutsu, the three types of Haki, or Nen abilities that were clearly from a completely different style. Such extraordinary powers from another world would be impossible for anyone to learn unless he had a cheat code or someone who fused with the [Seed of Extraordinary Power]. As for Nen abilities with dangerous methods like [Oath], Ryumo didn't choose to bestow such extraordinary powers to avoid any real trouble.

As for dispelling the hidden tricks he had left behind, Dragon Demon Li Mo simply did not believe that Jinghe Asagi and the others could transform and defeat him with the three extraordinary powers they inherited, which were not particularly strong. If that were the case, it would prove that he was really too useless!
