I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

Shiraki Shun had also worried that exorcising the blue-faced monk might attract other terrifying demons, who might one day lead their demon minions to the Tenji Shrine to cause trouble.

But now, I clearly have the power to protect the shrine.

This feeling is really great.

However, Shiraki Shun was not arrogant or complacent.

He is very self-aware.

No matter how strong I am, I am still just a human being.

But the gods reside in the main hall behind them.

With 30,000 points of mana, one might be considered a strong monster.

But in the eyes of the gods, it's nothing more than a trivial topic of conversation.

After all, according to the Records of the Ancient History, it was the two gods Izanagi and Izanami who used the Heavenly Spear to penetrate the sea and stir up the water, thus creating the islands of Neon.

The Neon Islands appeared around the late Ice Age, which is more than 10,000 years ago.

The divine power accumulated by the gods of those neon signs over this long period of time is probably unimaginably vast.

Shiraki Shun speculated that at least scientific notation should be used to express it.

Therefore, their own deities should have known about these things about them long ago.

The reason I didn't tell myself was that I wanted to maintain a sense of awe so that I could go further and more steadily on the path of Shintoism.

This sentiment is truly worthy of the gods.

I have truly felt it myself.

Thinking of this, Bai Mujun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He then instructed Kotaro to guard the torii gate that night, and strolled back to the newly renovated house next to the main hall.

Sitting at the table, I pulled out the Yokai Log of Kanda Shrine.

Previously, due to his lack of understanding of yokai, Shiraki Shun didn't really understand the cases.

But now that I have a basic understanding of the strength of the monsters, if I look at it again...

Hmm, I still don't understand.

For example, he had previously read a record of the five priests of Kanda Shrine fighting against the White Powder Woman.

A white-powdered old woman with a hundred years of cultivation would only have a level of two hundred points of demonic power. How could she possibly cause the priests of Kanda Shrine to be caught in a fierce battle?

This is where Shiraki Shun's confusion lies.

Does this mean that not all the priests at Kanda Shrine have their bodies consecrated?

Or perhaps, even a high-ranking priest isn't as strong as he imagined?

Thinking of this, Bai Mujun immediately had a new question in his mind.

If that's the case, how is the balance between monsters and humans maintained?

Within just two days, he had already encountered two monsters stronger than the White Powder Woman.

If even a white-faced old woman with a hundred years of cultivation was so difficult to deal with, then wouldn't a monster like the blue-faced monk easily crush the priests of Kanda Shrine?

It's a prestigious shrine in Tokyo, how can it be so disrespectful?

If even Kanda Shrine, which possesses sacred artifacts, has such difficulty, how do the other shrines defend against yokai?

Shiraki Jun pondered for a moment.

Unless, there is another force maintaining the balance between the two.

Shiraki Shun's gaze drifted through the window and landed on the main hall beside him.

Then it dawned on me.

correct.

There are also gods.

The reason why the monsters did not dare to act recklessly was because there were gods presiding over the other shrines!

Similarly, there should be a Buddha protecting that ancient temple.

Only in this way can humans fight against monsters.

So, just how powerful are the other shrine deities?

Bai Mujun couldn't help but feel a little curious.

If the holy light hadn't blocked his clairvoyance that day, he should have been able to see the god's divine body, and naturally, he would have also been able to know the divine power within the god's body.

Actually, if you really want to see it, it's not impossible.

However, it is extremely disrespectful to use a perspective horn to spy on the goddess's body without the god's permission.

It is a transgression against the gods.

As a priest, Shiraki Shun must uphold the dignity of the gods.

Moreover, let alone goddesses, Shiraki Shun would never offend an ordinary woman.

However, let's look at it from a different perspective.

If the other person were a male god, perhaps he wouldn't be so rude?

Speaking of which, it seems that the three deities enshrined at Kanda Shrine, where Hanekawa Yaya lives, are all male?

Since that's the case, after dealing with the supernatural events in Meguro Ward, I can take a stroll around Kanda Shrine while I have some free time these next few days.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shiramu Jun's face.

He calmed himself down and turned on the all-seeing angle.

This spurred Fahai to slowly advance the consecration process of the organs he had initially consecrated at the school.

Looking at the new batch of organs emitting a faint glow inside his body, Shiramu Jun made a rough estimate.

After this batch of consecrations is completed, the progress of his body consecration will exceed 70%.

Well, we've taken another small step forward on the road to invincibility.

In complete darkness.

The peace was shattered by a single sentence.

"Leader, the demons of the Ghost Faction have been attacking humans more and more frequently lately."

This statement, like a pebble thrown into a pond, immediately elicited a response.

"Yes, leader. The number of Japanese mothers and babies born from the Demon Sect in our district has doubled."

"Leader, judging from the Ghost Faction's movements, it feels like something big is about to happen."

"Shh, shut up, mind your own business."

At that moment, a single statement uttered, silencing all the discussions.

"Chief, I'm worried that if this continues, the human priests and monks might not be able to resist taking action and could accidentally harm us."

The one who spoke was the first one.

"Heh, don't worry." The leader looked confident.

"Humans cannot discover us. Not even the exorcism alliance."

"Because the demons of our Gou faction are just too clever."

Chapter Fifty-Five: Simple, Unadorned, and Dry

Saturday.

Kanda Shrine, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

In the darkness, the lanterns on both sides emitted a soft yellow light, illuminating the quiet and long stone steps in front of the shrine.

People passed by the tall and majestic statue of the Great God of the Nation.

They all wore crowns and robes representing different ranks, and entered a room in the council office.

Inside the room, many cushions had already been placed.

The group knelt down one by one.

After everyone was seated, Granny Chiyo, who was also dressed in formal attire and sat at the head of the table, coughed lightly twice and spoke.

Is everyone here?

"Chiyo Shinshu has arrived," someone replied respectfully.

"Yes." Granny Chiyo nodded and said seriously, "I'm sure you all know why I invited you all here today."

"According to our shrine maiden, there has been confirmed that there are yokai (supernatural beings) active in Meguro Ward."

On the cushions, everyone's expressions tightened.

The reappearance of monsters that had vanished is a great psychological burden for them.

This might be some kind of ominous sign.

"Everyone, don't be nervous." Granny Chiyo noticed everyone's emotions and said calmly, "So-called monsters are nothing but clowns in front of the Shinto we serve."

"Now that we've finally caught them by the tail, we absolutely cannot let them go easily."

"Lord Chiyo, could it be that you wish to..." someone in the audience couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Grandma Chiyo's voice was very calm.

"Kanda Shrine will transfer some of its defense personnel stationed in Tokyo Bay back to participate in the operation against the yokai in Meguro Ward a month from now."

Everyone present felt a jolt of unease.

In previous battles against monsters, humans were often on the defensive.

Now, are we going to take the initiative?

"The first step in the operation is to clear the area of ​​supernatural phenomena to prevent monsters from absorbing its power."
