……

Two days later.

The vague atmosphere of fear that had enveloped Maple Village vanished without a trace, leaving only the female demon who had kidnapped the priestess Kikyo.

The villagers also gave it a different version.

"Lord Mebius, you are truly a powerful god."

At the edge of the field, several villagers sat by the roadside, discussing the deeds of Möbius.

"Yes, he was so badly injured by the wild boar in the field, he was almost dead, but after Lord Möbius patted his head, he recovered completely," a villager exclaimed. "And it seems that Lord Möbius knows everything, no matter what it is, and you can get an answer as long as you ask."

"I wonder, please, Lord Mebius, could you help Naoko get pregnant?" a villager said hopefully.

"Perhaps Lord Möbius really can do it," a villager said jokingly.

He originally thought that Mebius was not a good person... no, not a good demon.

However, after spending a short time together, they discovered that Mebius's abilities were godlike.

If praying to other gods might only bring peace of mind, then asking Möbius for help is a genuine miracle.

He will never taste delicious food in his life, but he can make the sky rain down with a wave of his hand, and he can answer any question.

Even gods are nothing more than this.

Therefore, even though Möbius did not acknowledge himself as a god, they spontaneously believed that Möbius was a god.

Otherwise, why would you make Kikyo your priestess?

And at the same time.

Ten kilometers away from Maple Village, on a deserted high mountain.

Mebius stood atop the mountain, gazing at the enormous void at his feet. Inside, countless monsters were engaged in a brutal battle, vying for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

The Demon Cave—that's the name she gave it after hollowing out a cave in the mountain. She put a large number of demons inside, who fought each other like Gu worms, constantly stealing each other's power, as well as fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

She was observing the evolution of the yokai and the changes that occurred after contact with the Shikon Jewel.

She would be very happy if a fusion monster with potential could appear.

And just then.

Kikyo walked over from a distance and stood beside Mebius, her gaze fixed on the demons inside the mountain.

Those were all monsters captured by Mebius, no... monsters that submitted to Mebius's command. They were small monsters captured from various places and thrown into the Demon Cave to fight.

"Got it? Do you want the information?" she asked Möbius, but he shook his head.

"I got it, but I'm a little disappointed." Möbius asked curiously, "Do you think if we threw the Killing Stone into the Demon Cave, some interesting demons might be born?"

"I don't find it interesting." Kikyo shook her head slightly. If a large number of Killing Stones were thrown into the Demon Cave, it might revive Tamamo-no-Mae and cause chaos in the world.

"Don't you want to see the vixen?" Mebius asked with a hint of anticipation.

Then, Kikyo glanced at Möbius, who was itching to cause trouble, and sighed softly.

"One snake spirit is enough."

robbery!

A narrow path overgrown with weeds.

A handsome man with long white hair, a crescent moon on his forehead, and a cold demeanor walked slowly forward. He was dressed in very luxurious clothes, with a samurai sword hanging at his waist.

Behind him was a small monster with green skin, a pointed snout, and big eyes, holding a wooden staff.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I've heard that a new power has emerged in Musashi Province." He quickened his pace to catch up with the handsome white-haired man ahead, glanced cautiously at the indifferent man, and seeing that the other party didn't seem too averse to it, told him about the interesting information he had recently obtained.

"It is said that this force possesses the Shikon Jewel and is imprisoning a large number of yokai within the territory of Musashi Province, as if they are plotting some major event."

"Jaken, you always focus on trivial matters." Sesshomaru said coldly, not taking it to heart. He didn't care much about the Shikon Jewel or the so-called newly emerging forces.

In this land, there are often suddenly rising monster forces, but they will soon disappear. As for the Shikon Jewel, he has never taken it seriously.

“For Lord Sesshomaru, it would naturally be boring.” Jaken smiled ingratiatingly, then changed the subject, “However, it is said that the previous holder of the Shikon Jewel was the famous priestess Kikyo, whose strength was extremely powerful.”

"..." Sesshomaru became somewhat interested, and Jaken, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed this subtle change and raised his voice a few notches.

“That priestess is still alive,” he analyzed. “However, the ownership of the Shikon Jewel has changed. If it wasn’t stolen, then it means that the priestess Kikyo has cooperated with a demon.”

"..." Sesshomaru's cold expression remained unchanged as he continued to walk at his own pace. He was used to the cooperation between humans and demons. He wouldn't be surprised if a human and a demon fell in love. His father, Inu no Taisho, had fallen in love with a human woman and had a half-demon offspring.

“With that priestess’s help, that power might actually rise to power.” Jaken sighed, then seemed to remember something, “By the way, Lord Sesshomaru, it’s said that Inuyasha is also active near Musashi Province.”

"..." Sesshomaru glanced at Jaken with a very cold gaze and said nothing, but Jaken cleverly interpreted the meaning Sesshomaru was trying to convey.

"It is said that the Shikon Jewel can grant wishes, so perhaps Inuyasha wants to use the power of the Shikon Jewel to become a pure demon."

At this point, he shook his head again.

"However, given Inuyasha's strength... it's very possible, very likely that he'll be captured by that force and imprisoned in some unknown place."

"Hmph." Sesshomaru gave a disdainful snort, the meaning of which was unclear, but he changed the direction of his steps.

"Lord Sesshomaru, are you planning to go find Inuyasha?" Jaken asked curiously upon seeing this, and then received an answer.

"Shut up." Sesshomaru coldly glanced at Jaken beside him. He wasn't worried about Inuyasha's safety, but if Inuyasha died in Musashi, it would be a disgrace to the western country. After all, Inuyasha was his father's son.

……

at the same time.

Near Maple Village.

"Woman, hand over the Shikon Jewel!" A young man with long silver hair and animal ears blocked the middle of the road.

Opposite him were two women: a witch with long black hair and a strangely dressed female monster with long green hair.

It is said that these two women are the holders of the Shikon Jewel.

"Young man, are you trying to rob me?" Mebius raised his hand slightly, stopping Kikyo who was about to attack, and approached the silver-haired half-demon with a smile.

"...Nonsense, hand over the Shikon Jewel!" Inuyasha raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw shape, and stared warily at the smiling woman.

For some reason, he had a strong sense of foreboding and an urge to turn around and run away immediately, but he couldn't just run away without saying a few harsh words.

That would be too embarrassing.

“Okay.” Mebius nodded slightly, then spread his hands. “However, I don’t have the Shikon Jewel with me right now.”

"Is that so? Then forget it." With a disgruntled snort, Inuyasha prepared to leave, abandoning his plan to rob the two women.

No, to be more precise, it was giving up on robbing the green-haired woman.

“However, I can take you to get the Shikon Jewel tomorrow.” Mebius raised his hand and placed it on the silver-haired half-demon’s shoulder. “Young man, would you like to wait?”

Inuyasha didn't speak, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He felt a little unable to move, and the green-haired woman pressing on his shoulder had a very strange and unsettling aura.

It was as if a magnificent serpent, entangling the world, had coiled around him, rendering him unable to move or resist.

"No need, I have no interest in the Shikon Jewel." He took a deep breath and answered in as calm a voice as possible.

"Young man, you're not going to chicken out, are you?" Möbius chuckled. "Seeing things turn bad, you want to run away, and you don't even dare to take the Shikon Jewel?"

"Who's a coward!" Inuyasha couldn't help but retort loudly, feeling the terrifying aura surrounding him disappear. "This great one simply doesn't care about the Shikon Jewel!"

"Then you'll come with me to get the Shikon Jewel tomorrow?" Möbius tilted his head, a playful smile on his face. "Otherwise, that would be cowardice!"

"..." Inuyasha opened his mouth, then realized something was wrong, crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Why should I prove anything to you!"

“Kikyo, this little puppy is so timid.” Möbius shook his head, hugging Kikyo’s arm beside him. “He came to rob us, but he chickened out halfway. Is he even a monster? He has no courage at all.”

"..." Kikyo didn't speak, but turned her head away, as if she couldn't bear to see the tragedy that was about to unfold.

Inuyasha clenched his fists in anger; the green-haired woman's provocative smile was incredibly sarcastic towards him.

"Hmph, you'll regret this!" He grinned maliciously. "Since you want to give away the Shikon Jewel for free!"

"You've got some guts, not afraid to run away." Möbius looked slightly surprised. "Looks like you're quite capable."

"Hmph." Inuyasha snorted coldly, "I'll come back to find you tomorrow."

This is a lie. He will disappear far away in Musashi Province tomorrow, so he won't come looking for the green-haired woman.

"Seeing that you're all alone and have nowhere to stay, I bet you are," Möbius said with a smile. "Come to Maple Village, and I'll arrange a place for you to stay temporarily."

"I'm not used to human houses." Inuyasha raised his head, rejecting the idea with disdain. Then, he saw the green-haired woman and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be shy, we'll find you a house to live in alone." Mebius grabbed Inuyasha by the collar and dragged him toward Kaede Village.

"Woman, let me go!" Inuyasha struggled desperately, trying to pry open the hand gripping his collar, but found it was much tighter than he had imagined, and there was no way to pry it open.

Then, he changed direction and hugged a big tree by the roadside.

Seeing Inuyasha's refusal to submit, Mebius reluctantly released his grip on Inuyasha's collar. Then, seeing Inuyasha's relieved expression, Mebius decisively punched Inuyasha unconscious.
