"My lady, picking up a random stranger like this is utterly shameless!"
"The gods might be furious about this!"
"That outsider must be killed!"
"What a pity. If that stranger had been a woman, we would have had enough offerings for this year's sacrifices."
Listening to the noise in the room, Gu Yu felt inexplicably irritated.
To be honest, he could understand why these ignorant villagers would think that way.
In those days, when science and technology were not widespread, it was perfectly normal for people in the Far East to believe in all sorts of strange gods.
After all, in Yae Village, if there is insufficient rainfall, the harvest will naturally be poor.
In the days leading up to Yae Sakura's sealing, the village of Yae suffered from drought, resulting in an average of two to three villagers dying of starvation every day.
A village with only a few hundred people lost eighteen people in a week. If Gu Yu were in ancient times, in an environment devoid of knowledge, he would go crazy too.
In this situation, since the god that Hiyomaru impersonated could bring rain, he was naturally seen as a supreme deity by the villagers.
But now, as Gu Yu personally confronts this group of ignorant people, he has learned something.
Understanding is one thing.
But understanding and accepting it is another matter entirely.
"I'm saying... I'm right next door."
After yanking open the paper door, Gu Yu coldly surveyed the utterly shocked villagers and asked indifferently.
"I'm right next door, and you're plotting to kill me? That's going too far!"
What are you doing out here?!
Seeing Gu Yu appear so boldly in front of the angry villagers, Yae Sakura became extremely anxious.
After her younger sister Yae Rin's death, Yae Sakura, who had closed herself off emotionally, had already performed the ritual several times.
Every time Yae Sakura sacrificed a girl from her village, she felt immense pain.
Even though her hands were stained with blood, she still hadn't abandoned her last shred of conscience. When she saw a passerby lying unconscious outside, she still took him home.
Therefore, Yae Sakura did not want to see the innocent passerby she had just rescued die at the hands of the villagers because of their momentary anger.
After uttering those words in a daze, Yae Sakura quickly composed herself and addressed the villagers present.
"Please be patient, everyone. Whether this gentleman is related to the recent anomalies still needs to be investigated."
"What kind of investigation is this?!"
Upon hearing Yae Sakura's explanation, a villager immediately stood up, pointed at Gu Yu, and shouted angrily.
"Isn't the priestess' duty to protect the villagers? Priestess, kill this stranger!"
"Kill him!"
"Yes, kill him!"
"That demonic bear was definitely his doing too, kill him!"
Seeing the villagers' agitated state, Yae Sakura was instantly at a loss.
Does she intend to bury her sister Rin herself...?
—Are they even going to kill innocent outsiders?
"Sigh, so much nonsense."
Looking at this group of 'villagers', Gu Yu mobilized Honkai energy and directly materialized his weapon, [Pilot Card Sword], switching it to gun mode.
Unlike Theresa, who was rendered unable to fight after losing her stigmata, he didn't need external rescue at all.
The solution to this problem is actually very simple...
—If we just smash Higokumaru away, all the problems will be solved.
"A bunch of fakes, do they really think that all their babbling will make me start to panic?"
He then pointed the gun at the ceiling and pulled the trigger.
Countless light bullets erupted from the gun barrel, instantly ripping off the ceiling of Yae Sakura's old house.
The villagers, who had just been incredibly ruthless, were all stunned after witnessing this scene.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Now, everyone can finally be a little quieter, right?"
"However, then again, the word 'everyone' doesn't seem quite right. After all, there are only three conscious people here."
After aiming the gun at Yae Sakura's father, Yae Shinshu, Gu Yu sneered.
"How long are you planning to keep up this act, Your Holiness the Shrine?"
"Do you only reveal your true form if I stab your face with my sword?" Higokumaru.

PS: Second update... Yes, it was posted before 6 PM, so it's definitely the second update! 14/26
PS2: I only found out from a post... Well, I swear I didn't intend to persecute Theresa when I wrote Yuno's chapter, but I recently dug out the manga and read it again.
Theresa, you're an S-class Valkyrie, aren't you...?
Why were you instantly killed by a pseudo-Herrscher...?
Why would you be so careless in a match after suffering a loss once...?
Why did you fall down in the first encounter again the second time...?
You're an S-rank Valkyrie, right?
This is not meant to persecute Theresa. In reality, even a veteran in his forties, no matter how careless or incompetent, would not be completely unprepared when facing the enemy.
Rather than saying Theresa is too silly, this part of the comic is more like the writers just wanted to save time.
Ah, Theresa is going to see Yae Sakura, but how is she going to meet her? She's going to be thwarted.
How to get out of this... Ah, just draw something random, and she'll be defeated instantly.
Okay, I won't say anything more.
PS3: As usual, please vote. Speaking of which, after finishing this chapter, I actually found out that a reader thought I wouldn't be able to finish writing the chapter on the last day. Regarding your comments, I personally say…
You guys are right, sob sob sob. I'm such an idiot. If I hadn't posted that sentence, why would I be staying up all night writing this? Ugh.
PS4: I rarely swear, but every single developer of those rogue software should be sent to eat pork chop rice. These bastards are truly disgusting.
Chapter Twenty-Eight. Scarlet Prison Maru [Isn't this script a bit off? ? ? ]
Higokumaru felt he had a great advantage.
At least an hour ago, that's what Higokumaru thought.
For some reason it doesn't know, the seal on it and Yae Sakura was broken.
Meanwhile, Yae Sakura, who had no intention of taking any action, wandered around Changkong City like a resurrected ghost.
If this is all there is to the situation, Hiyokumaru would not dare to be careless in the slightest.
It intends to take over Yae Sakura's body, so it must carefully plan how to suppress Yae Sakura's personality.
But after Yae Sakura began wandering around, Hisagomaru gradually sensed...
—The abundant Honkai energy in Changkong City is the best supplement for it.
Yae Sakura doesn't want it, but Himeko won't let these supplements go to waste.
After gradually absorbing the Honkai energy that should have belonged to the Herrscher of Thunder, Himeko began to swell.
Unbeknownst to many, it has already had an impact, even suppressing Yae Sakura's personality.
During this process, Higokumaru also noticed something.
In one location, two powerful Honkai energies are colliding.
And in that place, there seemed to be fluctuations from other Herrschers.
Driven by curiosity, Hishikomaru hinted to Yae Sakura that they had arrived at the battlefield where Kouyu and Yuno were fighting.
Then, it happened to see Yuno turn back into a human after the Honkai energy dissipated.
And Kouyu, who absorbed a large amount of Honkai energy but did not transform into a suicide soldier.
Upon seeing this man, a green light flashed in Hishimaru's eyes.
It wanted to take over Yae Sakura's body because it wanted a body that it could move around in.
Currently, this man who can freely absorb Honkai energy and seems to be able to use other abilities...
—This body is just as good as Yae Sakura's!
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and the Hiyomaru finally found the most suitable body to reside in.
After confirming that the stigmata in the man's hand seemed to be able to absorb Honkai energy, only two words remained in Hishimaru's mind.
Great!
Then, it hinted that Yae Sakura was heading towards Kouyu, so it pretended to be at a loss.
However, its actions were exposed when it attempted to attack Gu Yu.
But it doesn't matter, Lord Hishigomaru isn't worried about that at all.
It's not the kind of pufferfish that can get several cores and still keep crashing!
It also has plans after its operations are exposed!
After missing his first attack, Hiyomaru immediately unleashed the Honkai energy within his body.
