Onmyoji of the Grand Line

At this point, Seimei shook his head, while Orochi said calmly, "That little girl simply cannot understand that power has no distinction between good and evil, black and white. Only the power of its user and the kind of person the user is can determine the difference in power."

Seimei nodded and said, "That's true. But! Didn't you prepare a gift for them? Even if the two children, Yaodao-hime and Hanabusaki, can't go any further, they are still a gift that can protect the entire Wano Country!"

"Um?!"

With an amused smile, Yamata no Orochi teased, "Did you see through it, Seimei?"

Seimei smiled and said, "I had a pretty good idea of ​​what gift you prepared, but I really didn't expect that you could actually do this in such a short time."

Orochi casually said, "What's so strange about that? The darkness of the people in this world is even more terrifying than that bizarre world. And in such a world, all of this is far too easy."

"indeed!"

Seimei nodded in agreement. This was an undeniable fact; the darkness of this world was far more terrifying than it appeared! It was a truly terrifying darkness. The darkness of this world was so vast that it was almost comical to think that pirates might be good people. That was the darkness of this world.

As Seimei's spiritual power increased, he could truly sense how much darkness was contained in this world, and he could see clearly the evil god Yamata no Orochi!

Chapter 118: New Year! A new year!

Crackling!

Crackling!

The lively fireworks display had completely erupted, and as the dazzling fireworks burst forth, everyone involuntarily squinted their eyes, and everyone couldn't help but put their hands together in prayer, because the New Year had arrived!

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Hahaha~~~"

The joy of the New Year spread throughout Heian-kyo and the entire country of Wano. Even the foremen and craftsmen of Wano rested. Only the people at the Tuwan Quarry and the Kuri Weapon Factory were plunged into a state of sorrow. They could only be forced to endure this pain forever, with no power to fight back.

After all, with the Demon Soldier Corps guarding the area, even if everyone else was on leave, they could only endure this suffering as slaves. In particular, these original slaves of Wano Country were burning with rage against the Kozuki Clan. This is only human nature. When they have no power to resist that terrifying existence, they will choose to direct their hatred towards another person, onto someone who is not considered strong.

Clearly, they directed their hatred at the Kozuki clan. In their view, if it weren't for the Kozuki clan, they should also have a share of this good life, instead of being slaves who could only live a life worse than death. That was their entire thought. They truly placed all their hatred on Kozuki Oden, even though some of them were once loyal samurai of the Kozuki clan, but had now changed their beliefs.

only!

Their hearts will not change the whole of Wano Country. At this moment, Wano Country is very lively, and everyone is enjoying the New Year with great enthusiasm. Even when Kozuki Sukiyaki was alive, he still couldn't enjoy the New Year like this because he was poor back then! But now, it has become completely different. The whole of Wano Country seems to have entered a perfect future.

……

"drink wine!"

"Hahaha~~~"

"cheers!"

"Enjoyed!"

With the four evil spirits—green, red, yellow, and cyan—urging everyone to drink, the banquet became incredibly lively. In the palace's banquet hall, everyone was drinking heartily without any restraint, not caring about what others thought, because this was the most exciting time of the banquet.

Red and Sang drinking together, the Oni clan descended from the Ooeyama clan who were fighting to the death, and the Sea Kingdom of Suzuka Mountain drinking like this—perhaps no one would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

And as it turned out! With the lively atmosphere of the Amanojaku F4, the entire banquet hall was filled with joy, and everyone was extremely happy. Such a festive day only comes once a year! The joy that the New Year brings is undeniable!

"drink wine!"

"drink wine!"

"Enjoyed!"

Everyone was laughing, and everyone's smiles were so joyful. There were no courtesans or music, just a simple banquet. But this kind of banquet was the most suitable for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. They didn't need anything fancy. What mattered most was the simple feeling of home.

because!

For the hundred ghosts, they are almost all alone, and to be able to do so is already a very difficult thing.

……

"Phew~~｀ 〃~"

The Snow Woman exhaled a breath of turbid air. As a woman of aloofness, the Snow Woman's cheeks were flushed, and she was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion. That's right! The Snow Woman had drunk too much. Since a large amount of demonic energy was used to cultivate the Flower of Immortality, the result was obvious. The Snow Woman was completely drunk.

"drink wine!"

"drink wine!"

Jorogumo embraced Yuki-onna, holding the smaller Yuki-onna close, laughing loudly as if to continue drinking. Under Jorogumo's drinking style, Yuki-onna quickly collapsed, her eyes spinning, completely drunk and unable to take it anymore. She had reached her limit! She really couldn't go on!

"Really are!"

Jorogumo calmly used her spider silk to trap Yuki-onna into a dumpling, then tossed her aside. After looking around, she fixed her gaze on the Kaguya-no-Yoga, who resembled a Yamato Nadeshiko kneeling there, smiling as she drank. She walked over with a smile.

"Tang Paper Umbrella Demon! Drinking?!"

"Lady Jorogumo...I'm not very good at drinking!"

"It's fine!"

"It's fine!"

And so, persuaded by Jorogumo, the two women started drinking. To be honest, it's hard to imagine that Jorogumo would be like this. In fact, Jorogumo is a heavy drinker, and a very heavy one at that. Although she is just a yokai of the Jorogumo clan, Jorogumo has a drinking capacity that is no less than that of the oni clan. This drinking capacity is really outrageous.

……

"one……"

"two……"

"Three..."

"Woooooo~~~"

Yingcao huddled there, trembling adorably as she cried out, "Lady Jorogumo is so terrifying! She's already tied everyone up. Is Lady Jorogumo going to eat us all?"

"Um?!"

White Wolf was chatting idly with the Demon Blade Princess beside him when he looked up and was surprised to find that almost everyone who had been having a lively banquet had been tied up by Jorogumo. This included Yuki Onna, Kaze Tanuki, Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, Lantern Fire, and the Seven Valleys. Only the Tenjaku F4 were still drinking with Jorogumo, while the others were bound into dumplings by pure white spider silk and thrown aside, looking like they were waiting to become food.

"This……"

White Wolf thought to himself, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? Jorogumo isn't that kind of person! Jorogumo wouldn't eat everyone at a banquet!"

next moment!

Jorogumo has already put Green down, and so the Tenjaku F4 has come to a perfect end. They are all lying on the table, completely obedient. Jorogumo staggers around and sees Yaodao-hime, Shiro, and Yingcao. She walks towards the three of them with a smile.

"This……"

The corners of all three people's mouths twitched slightly. How to put it? They weren't afraid, but Jorogumo's state at this moment was really too strange, especially the way she skillfully tied up the Tenjaku F4 and threw them aside. This action was really too shocking, wasn't it?

Of course!

Regardless, things are not too bad right now. Jorogumo walked over with a smile, looking quite drunk, and said, "Want a drink?"

"..."

All three women fell silent.

……

"Hmm~"

Watching Jorogumo's rampage and godlike performance, Hana-no-Maki couldn't help but shake her head and say, "Seriously, is Jorogumo really that good at drinking? This is truly unexpected! However, this is also a good thing. I think that once it's all over, let's see who dares to drink with Jorogumo?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Himiko, kneeling to the side, chuckled and said, "On such a joyous day, whatever we do is indeed very joyful!"

"Yes!"

Hana-no-Maki and Himiko quietly savored their drinks. Both women possessed mature and composed personalities with a touch of cunning, and naturally, they became friends, developing a very good relationship.

……

"Hmm~"

Kurozumi Musashi smiled, a grin spreading across her face, and said with amusement, "...It really is great! Everything is just like this, it's absolutely fantastic!"

"Ok!"

Kurozumi Semimaru was among the few who spoke, while Kanjuro said softly, "Everything has undergone earth-shattering changes, and it is precisely these changes that bring the most joy!"

A smile appeared on Kanjuro's lips. He was truly overjoyed. What might not seem like much to an ordinary person was the greatest joy for Kanjuro. He was extremely happy and relieved because his future had undergone a complete and utter transformation. This was of utmost importance to Kanjuro. He no longer needed to act; he could be a real person. This was truly crucial for Kanjuro.

With a smile, Kurozumi Higurashi said, "Let's enjoy this banquet! A new year, a new beginning, and a brand new beginning for Wano Country as well."

……

Quietly watching the lively banquet before him and the rampaging Jorogumo, Seimei chuckled and said, "I never imagined that Jorogumo would end up like this!"

"Yes!"

Suzuka Gozen nodded and said, "The final result was truly unexpected, quite interesting indeed! However..."

Suzuka Gozen glanced at the Yamata no Orochi sitting to the side, smiling and drinking. To be honest, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that the Yamata no Orochi would be sitting here, that this evil god would be attending a New Year's banquet.

and!

Indeed, the Yamata no Orochi was sitting there, exuding an air of calm and tranquility, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were quite interested in everything. This was the change in the Yamata no Orochi! Having experienced everything that had happened, everyone had changed, and it was already quite remarkable that they could continue to sit here today.
