Onmyoji of the Grand Line

My own resurrection won't bring about much change, but the real change will be in these children; everyone has to learn to grow.

"Yes!"

Hearing Lord Seimei's words, Yaodao-hime bowed slightly to indicate that she understood. As for everything else? Yaodao-hime wasn't particularly clear on that, but she didn't care much. For Yaodao-hime, obeying Lord Seimei's orders was more than enough.

……

"My dearest friend!"

"Hehehe~~~"

Ibaraki-dōji looked at the recovered Shuten-dōji and a smile appeared on his lips. He was truly overjoyed. His dearest friend had finally recovered. No matter what, he had to admit that his dearest friend had finally fully recovered.

Shuten-dōji casually chuckled, "Ibaraki, I've recovered! Next, it's time to find your arm again."

My arm?

Ibaraki-dōji shook his head and said very calmly, "There is a special power in my arm. That power belongs to the Celestials. Even I can't control it so easily. This is not a good thing."

honestly!

Although Ibaraki-dōji's demon arm possesses great power, it is actually difficult to control because of the special power belonging to the Celestials that enters it. In other words, it can be described as a disguised weakening of Ibaraki-dōji.

Of course.

These are all things that can be dealt with; they're not big problems.

"Hehehe~~~"

Shuten-dōji smiled and shook his head, saying very calmly, "About that! Don't worry, these things will be handled properly afterward. It's not a problem. Seimei has a way to deal with it, so it's not a problem."

"Ok!"

Ibaraki-dōji nodded in agreement. No matter what, it was best to deal with it slowly. If it could be handled well, then there would be no problem. Demon Arm! Although losing Demon Arm didn't seem to have a significant impact on Ibaraki-dōji's overall strength, it was still a significant loss.

but!

This is just a feeling, but it still has a very big impact on Ibaraki-dōji, that's for sure.

"but……"

Shuten-dōji gazed into the distance with a smile and said, "The rest of the matter doesn't need to be rushed. Everything takes time to change gradually."

"Hahaha~~~"

Ibaraki-dōji laughed heartily and said, "I've never been an impatient person. Don't worry, these things aren't something that need to be rushed or rushed."

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded generously, a smile appearing on their faces. Their expressions were very calm, quietly sensing the difference. A smile appeared on their lips as they gazed into the distance, their expressions serene. They already knew about many changes and differences, and what followed would truly make a difference.

Both of them smiled as they looked into the distance. No matter what, this was a new world, completely different from what had been before. Since that was the case, then nothing from the past would ever happen again.

……

The sea monsters of the Sea Kingdom remained silent at this moment. They all knew that Ōtakemaru had died in battle, but that he was not truly dead and that his soul had simply returned to Mount Suzuka. Even so, they remained silent.

died!

Lost!

That's the only result, and that's enough.

Mount Suzuka!

As all the sirens returned to Mount Suzuka, Suzuka Gozen calmly said, "Go back and rest. I will handle the rest myself."

"Yes!"

"Suzuka Gozen-sama!"

The group exchanged glances and finally nodded obediently. They knew that things had come to a close, and no matter what, they would leave the rest to Lady Suzuka Gozen.

Whether the young master is resurrected or goes even further is indeed a matter they need to consider, and it is a very important matter.

over time!

Everyone had left, but Suzuka Gozen, looking at Kaiming who was following behind her, calmly asked, "Kaiming, aren't you planning to leave?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Haiming smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lady Suzuka! Young Master is extremely important to me. Of course, I want to witness your resurrection with my own eyes, or perhaps..."

Although the rest of the words were not spoken aloud, the meaning was already very clear. For Haiming, this was indeed the case! Haiming was Ōtakemaru's teacher. All along, it was Haiming who taught Ōtakemaru and helped him grow step by step. It can be said that if it weren't for Haiming's teaching, Ōtakemaru would not have been able to grow to where he is today.

...... .... ...

Regardless of the circumstances, everything is now laid out before him, how could Haiming not go and see for himself!

"Let's go!"

"Ok!"

Suzuka Gozen and Uminari headed towards the highest point of Mount Suzuka, where a sacred tree stood, the core of the entire mountain. As the two arrived, howling spirits roared wildly. These spirits were the souls of those who died on Mount Suzuka; they were part of the mountain of souls, devoid of will, soul, and power.

but!

Regardless, they are all part of Suzuka Mountain. At this moment, they surround the sacred tree as if waiting for something. As Ōtakemaru's soul appears within the sacred tree, these souls gradually surround Ōtakemaru.

"I know!"

"I know!"

As Ōtakemaru looked at each soul, a smile appeared on his lips. They were the manifestation of the will of Suzuka Mountain; in fact, they were all part of Suzuka Mountain. Ōtakemaru's soul turned to look at the sacred tree before him and said softly, "Yes! Indeed, everything is clearly laid out here, yet! In the end, the one who couldn't understand any of this was me!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"But it's really embarrassing!"

Ōtakemaru gave a self-deprecating smile, slowly extending his hand as if gradually merging into the sacred tree. The next moment, a demonic aura burst forth from Ōtakemaru's soul, a terrifying power that seemed poised to devour everything. All of this happened far too quickly.

In a short time, the terrifying demonic energy that erupted seemed to devour everything and gradually cover everything. All of this happened in a very short time, and Ōtakemaru's aura was absorbed by the sacred tree.

Yes!

The sacred tree had been waiting for Ōtakemaru's arrival, but Ōtakemaru himself was confused about whether he was qualified to protect Suzuka Mountain, and thus he never came. Now! With Ōtakemaru's arrival, Suzuka Mountain truly recognized him.

Chapter 186: Metamorphosis! Progress! Involution!

Snapped!

Snapped!

When Suzuka Gozen and Uminari arrived at the sacred tree, they saw the figure who had been waiting there for a long time. He held a long sword and smiled. Compared with the former Ōtakemaru, he seemed to be no different except for his skin. However, from all around him, there were terrifying figures emitting deafening roars.

Undead!

Those were the spirits of the dead from Mount Suzuka. At this moment, these terrifying spirits were roaring wildly, as if they wanted to devour everything. They surrounded Ōtakemaru, who smiled and said, "Sister, teacher, you've come."

Sensing the terrifying demonic aura emanating from Ōtakemaru, Suzuka Gozen smiled and asked, "Have you recovered?"

Ōtakemaru nodded and said, "Sister! I've recovered. This feeling is actually quite wonderful, or rather, it's a different kind of feeling! It's like this many times. This feeling is very wonderful. I just realized it and discovered that, actually, for me, the things I thought I did wrong, Suzuka Mountain embraced everything about me like a mother. This feeling is the most wonderful."

A smile appeared on Ōtakemaru's face. He truly felt something completely different, a feeling that came from the bottom of his heart. This feeling was not a joke about "643"! It was a real fact. Many people might not have this feeling, but Ōtakemaru truly felt it. This was a completely different, or rather, a completely different feeling.

For Ōtakemaru, many times he felt that he was simply not qualified. This was a feeling that Ōtakemaru had always had. In Ōtakemaru's view, it was because of his own reasons that Suzuka Mountain had become what it was. This was a feeling that Ōtakemaru had always had.

but!

When he actually came into contact with Mount Suzuka, Ōtakemaru gradually realized that everything was not at all like what he had imagined. The feeling was completely different from what he had thought. Everything was like this. This wonderful and completely different feeling was the real key for Ōtakemaru.

"Hehehe~~~"

Hearing Ōtakemaru's words, Suzuka Gozen smiled gently and said, "It's best that you understand, Ōtakemaru. You should know that Mount Suzuka is like our mother. This is our home. No matter what, do you think your mother would abandon you?"

"Yes!"

Ōtakemaru smiled and nodded, saying, "It is precisely because I discovered it that I can clearly understand that this feeling is completely different! Similarly, this is also a completely different thing."

"Hehehe~~~"

He chuckled and shook his head. Although Ōtakemaru died after his battle with Shuten-dōji, he truly had a profound connection with Suzuka Mountain, and both of them underwent a significant transformation. Because of this, Ōtakemaru has now undergone a metamorphosis.

Is this a bad thing?

Do not!

This should be considered a good thing, and a very important one at that. For Ōtakemaru, this is exactly the case. Ōtakemaru has now truly transformed into a demon king! Even though Ōtakemaru has actually come to understand a lot.

But for Ōtakemaru, this is ultimately a good thing. Sometimes things are just like that, or rather, that's just how things are. You have to admit it, that's the fundamental truth! The fundamental truth of everything, it's meaningless if you don't want to admit it.

because!

Of course, when you actually go through it, you will find that everything is actually right under your feet. These are not difficult things. The most important thing is whether you can understand all of this.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Let's go!"
