I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Kim Il-suk, the White-faced Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Great Self-Mastering Deity

And the most renowned demon king of Mount Ōe—

These three fifth-level seal numbers gathered in Kyoto, yet they are still considered weak?

As the sole observer and witness in the final battleground of the "Feast of the Demon King" in Kyoto—

Li Mei, standing behind Lü Buyi, witnessed firsthand the battle between the Taiyin Divine Child and the three fifth-level energy seals.

That's why her astonishment and confusion gradually turned into understanding and shock.

"powerful……"

Without any fancy moves, in a battlefield where one fights against three—

Shuten-dōji's Ooeyama Oni-en was shattered by a simple, unadorned punch, and Shuten-dōji himself was also forced to retreat, having to temporarily avoid the attack.

"Very strong..."

As one of the three great vengeful spirits of Japan, Sugawara no Michizane possesses the power of curses combined with his ability to control thunder.

Its destructive power and output are almost comparable to Takemikazuchi.

The dark clouds in the sky spun wildly due to Sugawara no Michizane's roar, forming a huge thundercloud vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a vengeful thunderbolt compressed to its extreme, carrying a terrifying resentment that would destroy all life and defile all holiness, crashed down!

Could such a powerful spell cannon pose a threat to Lü Buyi?

The answer is, of course, no.

He still didn't use any special techniques; he simply caught the lightning bolt that covered the sky with his bare hands.

Then, as expected, in the next moment, he dispersed all of this, along with the dark clouds that filled the sky!

"The strong are unreasonable..."

Rime saw Tamamo-no-Mae, whose golden sun and nine tails shone in all directions, being knocked down by a raised hand.

She saw Shuten-dōji being completely overwhelmed by that person's sheer physical strength and power, leaving him utterly powerless to fight back.

As for Sugawara no Michizane, there's even less to say.

After less than half a minute of fighting, his cursed body was already tattered and torn.

Not only was his energy waning, but almost half of his body was shattered by a single blow.

But this alone is not enough to make them stop or admit defeat, much less to stop them from moving forward.

Because of the power of the Lunar Goddess, the three lords of demons and monsters finally put aside their previous pride.

They no longer choose to fight individually, nor do they simply respond in a localized, one-on-one manner.

Shuten Doji, Tamamozen, Sugawara Michizane——

As three fifth-level seals from different eras and with different stances, they have never cooperated before.

Therefore, the concept of tacit understanding is naturally out of the question.

But he is the lord of all the demons and monsters who can command a hundred ghosts to roam the area at night.

In a very short moment, they had already reached a consensus to launch a joint attack.

For the first time, Shuten-dōji abandoned the Oni-binding technique, which was used to strengthen himself with the power of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) of Mount Ōe.

He chose to directly manifest and construct Mount Ooe as the main stage to suppress Taiyin.

Tamamo-no-Mae imbued the light of universal illumination with the near-tangible heat and intensity of the Great Sun, thereby complementing and amplifying Sugawara no Michizane's cursed thunder cannon—

The three attacked together, their attacks linked together.

As the ultimate suppression and strongest instantaneous output that the three can achieve, this move must be taken seriously even by the fifth level, which is ranked in the third stage.

But Lü Buyi only managed to pique his interest slightly, and then...

Raise your right hand and gently bring your index and middle fingers together.

"Yin Power - Clockwise Rotation -"

The calm voice even drowned out the roar of thunder and the hum of the barrier around Mount Ooe.

Om-! ! !

Centered on the point of Yin energy on Lü Buyi's joined fingertips.

A tiny yet incredibly profound "black dot" suddenly appeared.

The next moment, an incomprehensible phenomenon occurred.

The roaring, all-consuming attack, determined to sweep away any enemy that dared to resist, struck that tiny "black dot" the instant it made contact—

It was as if it had been completely erased.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a ripple of energy; it simply vanished silently...

It wasn't that it was resisted, nor that it was neutralized, but rather that it seemed to be completely swallowed up by that "black spot," with even the trace of its existence being erased.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace was once again shrouded in night, with only the distant city lights and scattered flames providing faint illumination.

The Ghost King gasped for breath, his nine tails drooped, and the resentful thunder fell silent.

Shuten-dōji clutched his chest, staring at the incomprehensible scene before him, speechless.

Tamamo-no-Mae recalled her past encounters with Abe no Seimei and couldn't help but compare the two.

The cursed lightning surging around Sugawara Michizane became thinner and more chaotic, and the resentment that had been emanating from his body also weakened considerably.

Lü Buyi slowly lowered his hands.

He turned his head and gazed at the three ghost kings whose auras were waning and who could not hide their horror, the Demon-Sealing Cloth fluttering in the wind.

That same flat, emotionless voice echoed across the deathly silent battlefield:

"That's not all. A fifth-level being shouldn't be this weak. You should still have some strength left..."

"It's okay, keep going, let me see your maximum output—"

This time, none of the three demon lords felt the shame of being slighted or looked down upon.

All that remained for them was solemnity and seriousness.

Because what Lü Buyi said was true, because he had personally proven his strength.

Shuten-dōji straightened up, but before he could continue his attack...

He carefully examined Lü Buyi from head to toe, as if trying to find some weakness.

Finally, Shuten-dōji pointed to the Demon-Sealing Cloth covering Lü Buyi's eyes.

"Although it's rude of me, may I ask what that blindfold you're wearing?"

Lü Buyi had no intention of hiding anything, or rather, he believed there was no need to hide anything.

"The Cloth of Sealing Demons..." he explained, "It is a sealing object used to suppress my own Yin energy."

Tamamo-no-Mae raised her head, feeling that all of this was utterly absurd.

"You haven't used your full strength yet?"

"That's not wrong."

This answer caused thunder to roar, and Sugawara no Michizane, who had caused all of this, roared again, repeating the same name.

"Michimit Ashiya!!"

Lu Buyi ignored him, but the words spoken by Shuten-dōji and Tamamo-no-Mae just now gave him a playful idea.

So he spoke up and made a proposal that the three ghost kings could not refuse.

"I know why you broke the seal, and I know why that person released you..."

"But if you can withstand my full attack before I unseal the power of Taiyin, I'll let you go and do whatever you want. How about that?"

It was said to be seeking the opinions of Shuten-dōji and his group, but in reality, it was more like a unilateral declaration—

Lü Buyi did not give them time to refuse, nor did he give them the choice to refuse.

He gently raised his hand, stopping it in front of him. After forming the Indra Mudra with one hand, he said…

"Get into position, or you'll die."

The three ghost kings rose up, never before unleashing their full power.

In response to Lü Buyi, they unleashed their full-force individual attacks on each other!

"Domain Expansion - The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons at Mount Oe!"

"Ju-on Release - Wrath of Takemikazuchi!!"

"True Form Manifestation—Golden Sun, White Face, Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Both Shuten-dōji and Tamamo-no-Mae noticed the Indra's hand seal formed by the Taiyin Divine Child in front of them.

Of them, only Sugawara no Michizane reacted most intensely and... with fear?

Could it be that he used—

Without needing to think too much, the incantation recited by Lü Buyi had already given them the answer.

The Moon Goddess did not completely ignore Sugawara no Michizane from beginning to end.

He simply chose to respond to Sugawara no Michizane's uncontrollable resentment with the very move that Sugawara no Michizane knew best!

"From dawn till dusk, I perform rituals before the gods, governing the world with utmost sincerity. Heavenly gods and earthly spirits, seeing this clearly, I am filled with trepidation and awe as I perform these deeds..."

"Subdue all demons, solidify heaven and earth, so be it!"

From the moment Lü Buyi used the Ten Thousand Demon Subduing Curse originating from Ashiya Dōman on the battlefield of Kyoto.

The outcome, whether it be victory or defeat, is already predetermined.

The total time spent was two minutes and twenty-four seconds, Shuten Doji, Tamamo Mae, Sugawara Michizane, Otakemaru——

All four fifth-level energy level beings who broke through containment were suppressed, sealed, and their fates are unknown!

The last descendant of the Lu clan of the Far East, he inherited the divine child cursed by the Taiyin (lunar curse) of previous generations...

Today, Rime witnessed firsthand the unparalleled power possessed by those who bear the weight of everything!

"Hmm... this will do. Anyway, I can't find a more suitable CG material than [The Feast of the Ghost King] for the time being."

After Rime provided the material, he took some time to review his past achievements alone.

Lü Buyi uploaded her manually edited personal promotional CG to the [Character Feedback Template].

"I feel okay, I hope everything goes well."

"Once this problem is solved, the main storyline won't be far off, and I should start thinking about how to get involved..."
