Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

Everyone felt a chill and took out their magical tools, preparing to subconsciously unleash spells.

This aura was very familiar; it was unique to the Otherworldly Demons.

The next second, all sorts of otherworldly demons rushed out of the cage.

Their faces were contorted in a grimace, yet a rare joy could also be discerned.

Having been imprisoned for a thousand years, being released now naturally puts him in an excellent mood.

They are intellectually deficient, and in their excitement, they experience an indescribable sense of destruction.

The presence of the crowd drove them even more mad.

The demons swarmed out, pushing and shoving each other, before crashing into the outer barrier.

Blood was flowing everywhere, just like the scene of a major car accident.

Mari Tsuchimikado gave a soft snort.

Flames appeared out of thin air and rose higher.

The scorching heat spread outwards.

Everyone around her stepped back.

Haruhiko realized something.

He took out a stack of talismans.

As expected, a sea of ​​fire spread within the demonic realm.

As the aroma of meat filled the air, countless screams of agony echoed through the air.

Mari Tsuchimikado's flames are practically invincible against low-level psionicists.

Haruhiko also took this opportunity to throw out the talisman in his hand.

The psionic energy transformed into dozens of fire dragons that plunged into the burning flames, adding to its imposing power.

The game notification sounds kept ringing out.

Haruhiko secretly said that he felt happy.

But there was no time to see what it was, because the demons seemed fearless of death and kept charging out.

He took out the Red Phoenix.

The Crimson Phoenix Cries!

One after another, phoenix-shaped blade energies flew in.

The others weren't idle either; they all unleashed their spells.

Xue Ji gently raised her hand, and a bone-chilling cold aura flew out.

However, since the main battlefield was all fire, she did not rush to join.

Because ice and fire are incompatible.

Yukihime curled her lips.

That's probably why there's no possibility of reconciliation between her and Tsuchimikado Mari.

The only place that was relatively leisurely was Jinguji Tougo.

She didn't intervene because there was no need.

After a massacre that lasted several minutes, the Otherworldly beings began to retreat.

It wasn't because they were afraid of dying, but because a fifth-tier demon had appeared.

Not one, but five.

The sheer number exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, Tsuchimikado Mashiro, Hoshino Aoi, and the others were not surprised.

The demons left behind in the underworld are survivors of the great war against the gods.

Theoretically speaking, five fifth-order units are not the limit; there should be more behind the scenes.

The two sides had their first standoff.

The reason why the five fifth-tier demons arrived late is quite simple.

They never expected the entrance to the underworld to open.

For thousands of years, they have been trying, but to no avail.

In this situation, they became somewhat disheartened and stopped paying attention to the entrance.

They arrived late because they were guarded by low-level demons who lacked intelligence.

"A familiar scent, but unfamiliar faces."

A humanoid alien stepped forward and spoke in a chilling tone.

Although it is human, it no longer recognizes it at all.

This means that the old rivals from a thousand years ago are all dead.

It wasn't surprised, after all, humans are just that fragile.

You can call me Hisasaku.

While observing everyone, Kyusaku asked, "Why did you open the entrance after so many years?"

As a fifth-tier alien demon, its intelligence is no less than that of humans.

This matter is too strange, so it is necessary to first be polite and then take action to find out the situation.

Having stayed in the underworld for too long, they have become isolated from the world.

The strange clothes worn by the crowd alone left it somewhat bewildered.

In the past, the clothes humans wore were quite ordinary, and many were made of animal skins.

"Humans and demons have nothing to talk about."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro shook his head.

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared, condensing into a giant hand in the air, which slammed down on the demons.

"So it was fate."

His expression changed slightly, and he spoke.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro raised an eyebrow.

However, her method of achieving divinity through incense offerings was recognized for the first time.

But then I thought about it again, and it's normal.

These demons, including the one from Kuzoku, have witnessed the war against the gods.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's method of becoming a god through incense offerings originally came from the gods of Takamagahara.

It was something she was lucky enough to find in the ruins.

Besides the method of becoming a god through incense offerings, she also encountered Tsuchimikado Mari, who was sealed away at the time.

She is Shiranui, and she possesses extremely high potential from birth.

She was originally favored by the gods and was to be made a mountain guardian demon.

She refused to submit even unto death, so she was sealed away as a way to temper her spirit.

Unexpectedly, the Yamata no Orochi led a rebellion and cooperated with the other demons, causing the gods of Takamagahara to retreat from the world.

Tsuchimikado Mari was tragically forgotten.

A thousand years later, he met Tsuchimikado Mashiro and naturally accepted her as his master, thus escaping his cage.

Faced with the attack of the giant hand, Kuzuku clasped his hands together.

A thick, pungent stench of blood filled the air, and an invisible barrier of spiritual energy prevented the giant hand from falling.

There was a bang.

A large amount of psionic energy spread outwards, creating powerful waves.

The psionicists from all the major factions were all shocked.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro displayed strength far exceeding that of a typical fifth-tier psychic, which was within expectations.

But the fact that a single demon could display such terrifying power truly surprised them.

They no longer had the same confidence in eradicating the evil demons within the Yellow Springs and became more vigilant.

If we're not careful, we could all be wiped out.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a giant golden hand reappeared in the sky.

The entire space suddenly shook violently.
