I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Stepping into the shrine feels like stepping back into an era teeming with literary figures and scholars.

The "Literary Masters' Resting Stone" inside the courtyard bears witness to the bursts of inspiration from literary giants such as Natsume Soseki.

April is the season when azaleas are in full bloom.

Inside and outside the shrine, vibrant azaleas, like burning flames, adorn this ancient land with extraordinary beauty.

Hikawa Hina, holding Meiken's hand, stepped onto the long path leading to the shrine.

The moment Mingxian stepped onto the path of worship.

At that moment, it felt as if something fragile had been suddenly shattered.

That's a barrier.

The barrier that makes people instinctively stay away is like a fragile eggshell, which is ruthlessly crushed without their notice.

The interior of the shrine unfolds before your eyes like a scroll torn apart by time.

The ground was covered with rubble, the trees next to the front door had long since turned to charcoal, and the main hall of the shrine had a huge crack that plunged straight down from the roof, cutting the ancient building to pieces.

"who are you?"

Riona Toba turned her head sharply, her eyes like sharp swords, and looked warily at the two who had broken into the shrine.

Beside her was a stone pillar.

Inside the five-meter-high stone pillar was a man dressed in a Western-style dress. Most of his body was trapped inside the pillar, with only one hand and half of his face remaining intact.

"Wow, amazing! I don't know how it happened, but it's amazing!" Hikawa Hina's eyes shone brightly as she was excited about everything that was happening before her eyes.

She doesn't understand.

That's what makes it interesting.

Mingxian simply raised his hand, and a cluster of crimson flames ignited: "Was this divine artifact of flame originally yours?"

"So you're from the same trade." Rina breathed a slight sigh of relief. "That's right, it really is our Fire Blade of Destiny. How did it end up in your hands?"

As if remembering something, Riona wanted to ask again.

But then she saw a beam of white light shine into her eyes, and a silver belt appeared around Mingxian's waist.

Buzz!

Such a sound echoed through the shrine, the zither slowly moved forward, and at the same time, both hands pressed on the left and right sides of the belt.

"Transform!"

Warriors with golden horns appeared on the earth.

Not Agito: Chapter Thirty-Eight - The System Is Too Eager to Improve

A beam of pure, flawless white light suddenly flooded into Riona's eyes, as if it could wash away all the dust in the world.

"What kind of high beams are those? Turn them off!"

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white belt miraculously wrapped around Mingxian's waist, inlaid with tiny stars, as if one could glimpse a corner of the night sky.

The buzzing sound, like an ancient call, echoed in every corner of the shrine, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Mingxian's steps gradually became steady and solemn as he slowly moved forward, his hands gently resting on either side of his belt.

"Transform!"

As his deep and firm voice fell, the world seemed to tremble.

In an instant, a warrior with golden horns descended upon this land, radiating an inviolable majesty and power—the brilliance of a guardian.

Clang!

The horns on its head unfolded, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

Mingxian suddenly straightened his right leg, like an arrow released from a bow, and leaped up, his target pointing directly at the stone pillar in the distance that symbolized the challenge.

Inside a five-meter-high stone pillar, a figure is imprisoned.

It was a man dressed in a gorgeous Western dress, most of his body was now mercilessly trapped in a stone pillar, with only one hand and half of his face stubbornly struggling outside, his eyes filled with both resentment and despair.

All of this vanished with a single strike of the zither.

boom!

Golden runes streaked through the air like meteors, dazzling and spectacular. With a thunderous roar, the stone pillar shattered, turning into a shower of stone dust.

Even more astonishingly, Tsuchimikado, who was almost fused with the stone pillar, miraculously regained his human form under this irresistible force.

He sat on the ground, surrounded by a soft golden light, his face filled with disbelief and relief.

Naruhira slowly stood in front of Tsuchimikado, looking down at him.

The air was filled with the scent of victory and the light of hope.

Rina's heart raced; the scene before her was breathtaking.

Not only because her allies were rescued and because of the incredible power displayed by Mingxian, but also because, as the world's most powerful Onmyoji, she could make professional judgments—

This is divine power!

It's not some kind of Yin-Yang magic or Qigong, but the genuine power of the gods!

The miracles that belong to the gods are now being displayed in mortals.

Naruhiro looked down at Tsuchimikado, especially at the woman's dress, and after a long while, managed to utter a sentence.

Are you a transvestite?

Tsuchimikado then turned around and looked at the armor on Narugen's body. "Aren't you wearing it too?"

Mingxian: "..."

We're different, okay?

He simply didn't want to reveal his body as the "Steel Dragon".

Moreover, unless you transform your clothes into armor, it always feels like you're running around naked on the ground.

I only did it out of necessity, not because I was obsessed with cosplay!

No explanation needed, okay!

No explanation.

Naruhiro deactivated his transformation and calmly looked at Tsuchimikado. "I've already refined the sword you were holding, and I don't plan to return it to you. However, I did manage to rescue you from your predicament, so I don't think you'll have any objections, will you?"

"He's just talking to himself," Tsuchimikado remarked.

He felt that Mingxian and Riona were similar in that they were somewhat self-centered, but he didn't dislike this kind of personality.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty."

Although he took on the entire responsibility, Tsuchimikado was still somewhat troubled. After all, the Kagutsuchi Sword did not belong to him, but to the Shinjiin. Now that it was lost, he needed to explain.

Fortunately, it was lost in a battle with the gods.

It just means writing more reports.

Rina looked at Naruhiro with curiosity: "Who are you? There doesn't seem to be anyone as skilled as you in the industry, right?"

"I'm curious too!" Hikawa Hina stepped forward quickly, her bright eyes wide open, observing the three people present with curiosity, as if she were observing a rare scene.

"Who exactly are you? Aliens? Ghosts? Superpowered individuals?"

Finally, she uttered this sigh.

"It's so good!"

Mingxian: "..."

Another girl I can't understand at all.

He mentally ranked Hikawa Hina on the same level as Hozuki Maki, considering her a weirdo.

However, Mingxian still stylishly adjusted his hat: "Just a supernatural detective passing by!"

"Amazing!"

Hikawa Hina's eyes immediately lit up.

The sound of the string instantly brought a sense of satisfaction.

Although it's a bit vulgar, it's really satisfying to be stared at like that by a beautiful girl!

[Target: Hikawa Hina, progress: 10%]

Who asked you!

And how exactly do you calculate the progress of this walkthrough?

What's the point of 100%?

Isn't it usually marked by confession, kiss, or increased affection level as the sign of completing the strategy?

[100% completion of the walkthrough; CG unlockable]

What do you mean?

[If the host extends an invitation to spend the night together, the recipient will genuinely accept.]

Mingxian: "..."

At that moment, Mingxian was speechless.

Because if we use this standard, doesn't that mean there is no standard at all?

What does "sincere acceptance" even mean? Can't you use power and status as bait to get a girl to "sincerely" unlock CGs together?

Ultimately, Mingxian came to a conclusion.

The system is still too eager to improve.

Unwilling to remain a "love system" forever, she wants to return to the "God Space" of the past.

Ignoring the idiotic system in his mind, Mingxian looked at Riona and asked, "And who are you?"
