Don't force me to use my right fist.

Sōyū only needed to look up once to understand that Tamamo-no-Mae's plan to become a god had finally been truly successful.

However, he had no time to care about that. He glanced back at the stiff-standing Moryoumaru behind him and gently touched his body with his hand.

He slowly raised his head, as if he were about to continue attacking Sōyū, and raised the sharp claws in his hand.

But in its charred eyes, no signs of life could be seen. After making its final movement of raising its arms, its massive body collapsed, turning into a lump of charred remains, burned from the inside out.

Sōyū glanced down at the wretched state of the supposedly immortal demon and nodded in satisfaction.

In the future, if we encounter monsters that can regenerate health in a particularly good way, we can use this trick to mess with them.

No more worrying about some invincible monster jumping in front of me; perhaps even that annoying Kawashita Tomie, all I need to deal with her is one Judgment Eye.

Saya, who had successfully used the skill for the first time, smiled and collected the items dropped by Moryomaru. As for the escaped Hakudoji, Saya didn't seem particularly worried.

He casually grabbed a handful of Mouryoumaru's ashes and stuffed them into his backpack. With his tracking magic, Saya wasn't afraid of getting lost. Although he had no sense of direction, with his navigation magic, it was like having an automatic pathfinding script running.

Brushing the dust off his hands, Zuoyou turned around and looked at the fox-eared girl with long, golden hair who was slowly descending from the sky.

"Congratulations! Judging from your current situation, you've finally become a god?"

She exchanged a glance with her opponent. Judging from the change in her aura, there shouldn't have been any problems with her ascension to godhood.

I received so much information at once, it was almost overwhelming.

"That's it! Congratulations!"

Saya let her grab his arm. He felt the kind of pressure that only a god could have from her, and he was certain that she had indeed succeeded.

"Speaking of which, becoming a god actually involves receiving compressed information packages? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing." Zuo You looked down at her confused little face, sensing a hint of pain and bewilderment in her expression.

"No, I feel really uncomfortable right now." Covering her forehead, Tamamo-no-Mae's feelings were practically written all over her face.

"It's not that I've become a god, but rather that those beliefs have corrupted me. I feel like I'm no longer myself."

This was something she herself hadn't considered. She originally thought that the most difficult part of becoming a god was the process of becoming a god, but it turned out that the ending had a greater impact on her. As she covered her forehead, she paused, and Sōyū clearly felt that Tamamo-no-Mae's aura seemed to have changed a lot.

"Damn it, divinity is devouring my humanity. You'd better ask me your questions now while I'm still relatively lucid, or I'm afraid I won't be myself anymore."

Tamamo-no-Mae frowned and grabbed Saya's hand. There had indeed been other yokai who became gods through faith before her, but the group of people she knew hadn't told her that such a thing could happen.

Her memories as the yokai Tamamo-no-Mae are being gradually erased by the knowledge brought by her immense faith. Perhaps she will have a chance to regain them in the future, but for now, it seems she will have to abandon this identity and honestly play the role of the Inari deity.

Sōyū's lips twitched. Since Tamamo-no-Mae had said so, he wouldn't hold back.

Anyway, the reason he helped Tamamo-no-Mae was just to ask her how to get back. As for her becoming a god, that was her own choice, or rather, she originally wanted to become the god Inari, not the demon Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Now that you've become a god, even if you're not all-powerful, at least tell me how I should return to the future from this timeline, right?" Saya asked, looking at Tamamo-no-Mae's face, which was now filled with a sense of holiness, as he helped her up from her shoulder.

I wonder what she's been through all these years to evolve from her current saintly appearance into the lazy, godlike personality she'll become in the future. wJr

Tamamo-no-Mae, whose small face, now revealed a hint of golden light in her eyes, raised her head slightly in a daze, like a search engine in operation.

"To travel through time and space, one must possess the power of a primordial god, enough to break the laws. At least in the present world, there is no god capable of doing so, and even I am powerless to do so."

She shook her head silently, as if answering a believer's prayer, and the glint in Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes faded.

Zuo You was completely dumbfounded. What was this "Primal God" thing? Was it simply called a "Genshin Impact"?

But after careful consideration, Sōyu could roughly understand what she was saying. Someone like her, who becomes a god through some ritual or effort, is ultimately just a character possessing some kind of powerful strength.

But beings like the Three-Eyed Spider or Bubble are born gods, and their power far surpasses that of Tamamo-no-Mae, who is a god acquired later in life.

But this was precisely the problem that troubled Saya: where could he find another original god? Could the headquarters just kill some people and perform some kind of cult ritual to forcibly bring out an outer god? Just as Saya was agonizing over this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and came back to his senses, grabbing Tamamo-no-Mae's somewhat thin shoulders.

Are the gods of hell considered primordial gods? Like, something like Yama, the King of Hell?

Chapter 470 Isn't this just sabotaging my teammates?

"The one who rules over hell must be the primordial god."

Having seemingly abandoned all humanity and transformed into a god, Tamamo-no-Mae directly answered Saya's question. Moreover, as if she knew what Saya wanted to ask next, she spoke up and gave the answer to the question that Saya had not yet uttered.

"To open the gate between hell and the mortal world, you need the complete Shikon Jewel as a catalyst, and that method can only be used by the most evil youkai."

Golden fur began to grow from her body, and her beautiful golden pupils turned into vertical pupils like those of a fox.

If he hadn't known it was her own will, and hadn't understood that she would have returned to normal at least a thousand years later, Sōyu wouldn't have continued to hold her, but instead released her, letting her escape from his arms.

Anyway, he already had a rough guess at the answer he wanted to ask, so he just let the fox find a place to stay on its own.

The method and limitations she outlined for connecting Hell and the mortal world essentially limited the possibility of only Naraku being able to accomplish this.

In the original work, he did indeed have thoughts of sending people to hell, and Saya vaguely remembered them.

However, if the complete Shikon Jewel fell into his hands, Saya didn't think he would immediately open the gates between Hell and the mortal world.

"He will. Naraku's ultimate goal is to surpass the gods. The vengeful spirits and demons of hell are also among his ingredients. In fact, what he himself wants to do is to destroy the entire Miki. So this is his own wish."

With her eyes now completely golden, Tamamo-no-Mae glanced at Sōyuu, as if she could see right through his thoughts. She then raised her head slightly and looked up at the clouds in the sky.

"It's time." wh

After uttering this seemingly random and incoherent statement, Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been a girl, finally transformed into a fox with nine enormous tails. She let out a long howl and then vanished into the horizon as a phantom.

Sawa, who was left stunned, looked at the somewhat messy scene and decisively walked out of the ceremony site.

Since Tamamo-no-Mae herself no longer stays here to maintain her identity, Sasuke naturally has no reason to stay any longer.

Moreover, Saku is currently preoccupied with the issue of Naraku, so he has even less in the mood to argue with those officials.

When those who fell to the ground because of the death-calling chants get up again, who knows how troublesome things will become.

You see, from their perspective, something happened that caused them all to fall into a coma. When they woke up, the phantom of the god in the sky was gone, and the chief Onmyoji who was supposed to preside over the ceremony was also gone.

Even more terrifying is that the National Preceptor Pudu, who should have had absolutely no connection to this matter, also appeared in this place, albeit in the form of a corpse.

This involves many issues related to officialdom. Fortunately, they are still unconscious, giving Zuoyou enough time to escape the scene.

Since he wanted to go back, he had to find the original gods to help him. The gods he knew who still existed a thousand years ago, besides the bubble who was his enemy, were probably only that green-haired Yama King.

According to Tamamo-no-Mae, the only way to get to that place is through Naraku.

Having clarified the main quest ahead, Sawa sighed, as if suddenly remembering something, and a look of utter distress crossed his face.

According to what Tamamo-no-Mae said, to unlock the [i], one must have the complete Shikon Jewel.

Saya understood that for Kikyo, the Shikon Jewel was her lifeblood and her mission; even if she died, she couldn't bear to see it fall into Naraku's hands.

In other words, if Saga wants to return home from hell, there will inevitably be some conflict with Kikyo, at least on the issue of the Shikon Jewel, something neither side will back down on.

"That's a bit too much of a rip-off—this is practically the best teammate China has ever had."

Sōyū's expression was somewhat unpleasant. In reality, he really didn't have any interest in these things, but the problem now was that if he didn't do this, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to go back.

While he could tolerate everything else, he was unwilling to back down on the crucial issue of returning home.

"Anyway, let's try to communicate with that guy first. At worst, after borrowing the money and letting Naraku open the passage to hell, we can just help her get rid of Naraku."

Then the Shikon Jewel can be returned to her, and she can keep it however she wants. Moreover, it can also eliminate her greatest threat, Naraku. It's a win-win situation.

Saku tossed the two pure black, tainted Shikon Jewel shards he had retrieved from the ashes of the burned Moryomaru in his palm, and decided what he needed to do next.

However, before heading back to the Higurashi Shrine, Saya decided to check the loot from the previous two battles and organize his inventory—a habit typical of blocky characters.

He randomly found a branch of a tall tree far from the main road and sat down on it. Zuoyou took out all the items that Pudu Cihang and Wangliangmaru had dropped from his backpack.

First of all, two of the Karma Crystals that Sasuke cared about most dropped. With just these two items, Sasuke's previous battles were not in vain.

The only regrettable thing is that there are no mods that drop. Although they are two great monsters, mods are obviously not easy to obtain.

Fortunately, although there were no mods, some mod items did drop, which was a consolation prize for Saga.

However, when Zuoyou looked at the thing that Pudu Cihang had dropped, he didn't know what expression to use to face it.

The first thing that catches the eye is a small, pure black speaker. Even without getting close, Zuoyou can already feel a harmonic energy emanating from above it.

This thing, like the previous boomerang headdress, is definitely a prop with some kind of wicked sense of humor.

Chapter 471 Puns Will Get You Fined

Generally speaking, the background music (BGM) is the best way to start shaping the character's image.

But that's not how it is in real life.

If someone brings their own speakers with them on full blast when they appear, it just makes people wonder if that person has something wrong with their head.

How is that any different from playing music aloud on TikTok?

After all, there are no characters in reality who come with their own sound system, let alone the kind of people in movies and TV shows who are invincible as long as the corresponding background music isn't turned off.

However, the small black speaker in front of Saya somewhat defied Saya's common sense about this point.

[Portable Speaker]: A background music player with a built-in stealth effect, making your entrance stand out from the crowd!

It automatically turns you invisible when equipped, and you can customize the music you play.

The power boost is determined by the music played.

Current default music: Flower of Hope, effect: Luck -50%.

Sawa never expected that this thing could actually become a piece of equipment, and the system even seriously explained the effects of this thing to him.

Not only does it come with its own music upon entering the room, but it also actually provides a corresponding boost, which genuinely made Sasuke feel a little tempted.

But the thought of having to appear before everyone like an idiot accompanied by some kind of music made me want to just dig a hole and bury myself.

He's not a thick-skinned person to begin with, so he definitely can't handle this kind of socially destructive game.

Even if the speaker is supposed to automatically become invisible, if he were to carry it around outside, Sōyū wouldn't want to be the center of attention.

Not everyone likes being Steve Jobs. Besides, if the background music stops during a battle, wouldn't that be like setting a huge cliffhanger?

Just imagining the scene was enough to make Saiyu shudder, and he immediately put the thing away. Perhaps there would be a day in the future when he might need it, but Saiyu's greatest hope was that that day would never come.

Shaking his head in slight disappointment, Saya then turned his gaze back to the things that Moryomaru had dropped. They were just some strange objects. For example, there was something almost invisible—a needle as thin as a cow's hair—that Saya held in his palm. It was a slender needle, barely thicker than a strand of hair, lying quietly in Saya's hand. Unless you looked closely, you couldn't see anything in his palm at all. Saya himself didn't seem to care much about this thing that he had almost forgotten in his backpack.

Consider it an extra reward; Sawa didn't expect it to have any effect anyway.

The best thing is something that directly increases your maximum magic power. The more Saku uses magic, the more he appreciates the convenience that abundant magic power brings.
