Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

All the psionicists continued to output psionic energy, and Haruhiko was no exception.

This was the first time he had ever used Shiranui: Wildfire so frequently.

Haruhiko felt the only thing he was fortunate about was Ryoumen Sukuna, which was a physical warrior, not a magician.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be half the city that would be destroyed, but the entire area within sight.

A few minutes later, Haruhiko felt weak all over his body.

Using spells continuously will put a great burden on the body.

Moreover, he was using a fifth-tier level spell.

Haruhiko frowned.

If he is like this, the situation is probably even more serious for others.

I can't hold on any longer.

Ryomen Sukuna, however, remained full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

Is this the power of ghosts and gods?

In Japanese legends, Ryomen Sukuna is just an ordinary god, and is worlds apart from great gods like Amaterasu.

Even so, it has already demonstrated such unparalleled power.

Then how terrifying were the great gods like Amaterasu?

Before the gods, humans and monsters are destined to be no match.

Haruhiko suddenly realized that perhaps the disappearance of the gods was a good thing.

After all, no one can guarantee that the gods won't harm humans and monsters.

Just then, an immeasurable surge of spiritual energy emanated from not far away.

Compared to the cold and gloomy atmosphere of the two-sided Sukuna, it is as warm as sunshine.

Haruhiko looked up and saw an incredibly tall samurai.

He was wearing armor and carrying a samurai sword, and he was slowly walking towards us.

"It is Wu Zhenxiong's fate."

Ōtengu promptly explained, "He is Ryōmen Sukuna's nemesis."

Haruhiko's face showed a look of realization.

He had indeed heard the legend.

Ryomen Sukuna caused chaos in Hida Country, so the Emperor ordered Takeshi Kuma to lead an expedition and kill him.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, there shouldn't be too many problems.

After Takeshi Kuma's death, Haruhiko also saw Abe no Seimei.

He looked much older, like a middle-aged man.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

This situation is very similar to overdrawing one's psionic energy.

Summoning a legendary hero with the strength of a fifth-tier psionicist is naturally no easy task.

Haruhiko felt that he had vaguely guessed the truth behind Abe no Seimei's early death.

The great battle between Ryoumen Sukuna and Takeshi Kumamon began.

The group of people retreated.

They didn't even have the right to watch the game up close.

The city was completely reduced to ruins, and the damage continued to spread.

"It's better if gods don't exist."

Haruhiko couldn't help but sigh.

The next second, space froze, and he was back in the cave.

His eyes lit up when he saw the familiar statue in front of him.

Although he didn't know how he passed the second test, he liked the free psionic energy.

The Ashiya Doman statue once again emitted spiritual energy.

Qingyan's spiritual energy surged rapidly, reaching a full 100,000 points, bringing him one step closer to the fifth rank.

Of course, it's still quite far.

Because the upper limit for a fourth-tier psionicist is one million points of psionic energy.

With the psionic points he already had, Haruhiko had completed one-fifth of the progress bar.

To be honest, this speed is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated.

It must be said that Haruhiko has to thank Ashiya Dōman.

His body has remained in this place for thousands of years, constantly absorbing spiritual energy.

That's why he's so generous.

Haruhiko is now looking forward to what challenges await him next.

There was a click.

The cave has been destroyed and is no longer visible.

When Haruhiko opened his eyes again, he found himself on an extremely desolate land.

He had never seen such a ground before, barren of vegetation, only red silt.

Two suns shone brightly in the sky.

Haruhiko subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

He felt his body losing water rapidly.

Looking around, he found no trace of life.

What the hell is this place?

While Haruhiko was puzzled, he suddenly leaped into the air.

A thick, ugly tentacle emerged from the ground where they had just stood.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been tied up by now.

A familiar smell.

It is a demon.

Haruhiko glanced at the two suns in the sky again, and he seemed to understand something.

He arrived in the world of demons.

As he pondered, he raised his hand.

Celestial Fox - Golden Ear of Light Feathers!

He can now basically cast second-tier spells instantly.

The psionic energy transformed into dazzling arrows, striking the charging tentacles and disappearing into the ground.

There was a bang.

Blood splattered.

This third-tier demon died.

Haruhiko landed back on the ground.

The first challenge is to curse Fujiwara no Michinaga.

This event has occurred historically, as evidenced by Ashiya Dōman's defeat.

With the help of Murasaki Shikibu, Haruhiko successfully passed the test.

The second challenge is to stall for time while facing two Su Nuo.

Haruhiko managed to do it, but he suspected that this wasn't the real purpose.

Ashiya Dōman wanted to gain a new understanding of the gods.

The test was completed only after he said, "It would be better if gods didn't exist."

Haruhiko suspects that Ashiya Dōman went to extremes because of the Ryōmen Sukuna incident.

It is impossible for humans to make the gods disappear.

Just then, Ashiya Michiko unexpectedly discovered the presence of the Otherworldly Demon.

Thus, the third stage took place in the world of otherworldly demons.

Haruhiko touched his chin.
