The panicked shouts of a certain Lunarian officer snapped the other Lunarians out of their daze, and they began to yell and give orders to attack. Some were so frightened that they could barely speak.

Then, something even more despairing happened to them.

The old man of the mountain stood motionless, letting the hail of bullets rain down on him, yet not a single bullet caused a ripple.

Aside from making a clanging sound, it couldn't even leave a shallow crater in its armor, let alone penetrate its defenses.

Seeing that the firearms were ineffective, the Moon People immediately ordered to bring out more powerful weapons, but Saito Takeshi, in order to buy time for the weapons to be assembled, swung his katana at the Mountain Elder.

"It's meaningless, it's really meaningless..."

Facing the blade that Saito Takeshi was about to strike, the old man of the mountain shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of disappointment, as if he had lost interest in waiting any longer.

Crimson light flashed in the eye sockets of the Mountain Elder's skull mask, and the surging death aura engulfed the still-busy legion, instantly robbing the Moon People of their decaying lives.

With a flash of sword light, Saito Takeshi's headless corpse fell limply to the ground, beheaded before he could even withstand a single blow.

After completing this flawless yet utterly boring assassination, the old man of the mountain looked up in the direction of Heian-kyo, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

After much hesitation, he still slipped away along the long official road, his footsteps silent and his figure like a ghost.

"Even though the evening bells offer no revelation, what is the meaning of this ominous premonition?"

Chapter 128 The Tales of the Headless God

Just as the old man of the mountain drew his sword and rushed out of the mountain, the Fujiwara residence in Heian-kyo had already been turned into a vast sea of ​​fire.

The yokai who couldn't find Kaguya of Mount Hourai were the first to attack Fujiwara's residence, but the powerful yokai were all held back by the Onmyoji.

Therefore, facing those insignificant demons, Himari, alone with her Japanese sword, was enough to handle the chaotic situation by standing at the gate.

A crimson demonic aura burst forth from Himari's body, and eerie demonic patterns slowly emerged from the girl's snow-white skin, adding a touch of alluring evil to the originally pure and lovely catgirl.

Under the oppressive aura of the great demon, low- and mid-level demons could only tremble like cattle and sheep awaiting slaughter, while only high-level demons might be able to put up a fight for a dozen or so moves.

However, after years of nightly battles and honing her skills, Himari's strength has long been enough to place her among the top-tier great demons, making her a much stronger great demon than someone like Yamagumo.

The cat-like creatures are among the best of the best, possessing exceptional physical and magical abilities.

When Himari combined her natural speed advantage with the stealth technique she stole from the Mountain Elder to create her own unique footwork, her ability to attack while moving surpassed that of some of the nineteen Hassans.

Relying on this strength, Himari calmly and easily protected the safety of the Fujiwara residence. After wiping out the few ignorant monsters on the spot, no one dared to challenge the majesty of the great monster.

However, the relaxed situation did not last long. When the Sage of the Moon stormed into the city and led his army to sweep away all obstacles along the way to Fujiwara Prefecture, the situation changed dramatically in an instant.

Facing the Moon Sage, whose strength was comparable to her own, Himari had no time to continue protecting the Fujiwara residence and had to concentrate on dealing with this troublesome opponent.

The Moon Man led his Moon Rabbit soldiers to quickly wipe out the surrounding monsters, then broke down the gates of the Fujiwara Mansion and began searching for Kaguya of Houraisan.

The samurai and Onmyoji guarding the courtyard didn't even have a chance to use their skills before they were riddled with bullets from guns spitting fire. They convulsed and danced a breakdance amidst the hail of bullets, which drew laughter from the Moon People.

Admittedly, there are some Moon People with normal personalities and values, like the Wataru sisters and Kaguya Houraisan, but many more have had their minds lost and distorted over their long lifespans.

Even the new generation of Lunarians will gradually go astray under the spiritual pollution of the older generation, firmly imprinting the nobility of the Lunarians into their minds and bones, and enjoying this natural sense of superiority.

It's like a highly developed civilization looking down on a backward one, only mocking the other's barbarity and ignorance, regarding them as uncivilized monkeys.

Only a very few people can firmly maintain their thoughts and remain unaffected by external influences, truly remaining untainted by the mire.

The people of the moon have enough resources to demonstrate their superiority, and enough civilization to demonstrate their advancement.

But in the future, they will be horrified to find that the technology tree they spent thousands of years developing has been largely caught up by the lowly Earthlings in just a few hundred years, and they have even begun to attempt to land on the moon.

Perhaps, only then will they be able to see the races on the ground with the right perspective.

But at this moment, the Moon People can take it for granted that they discriminate against and despise everything on the ground.

Whether it's life or matter.

The Moon Sage who led the search of the Fujiwara residence was in cahoots with Saito Takejin. He decided to kill her after learning from Yagokoro Eirin that Houraisan Kaguya was on good terms with this earthly family.

"A sinner is indeed a sinner. Even his friends are just filthy people from the ground. If I don't correct this mistake, wouldn't I be letting down Lord Tsukiyomi's cultivation?"

————————A dividing line to relieve reading fatigue————————

Just as the Lunar Capital Legion was rampaging through Heian-kyo with impunity, Yakumo Yukari and Yagokoro Eirin, who had indirectly orchestrated the current chaotic situation, met up a thousand meters in the sky.

Perhaps it's because Yukari Yakumo and Eirin Yagokoro are inherently incompatible, or perhaps it's the opposition between the 'Sage of the Youkai' and the 'Sage of the Moon'.

In short, they disliked each other from their very first meeting.

"So it's you? The one who plotted against us in the shadows. State your name and background."

Leaning against the gap, Yukari Yakumo stared at Eirin Yagokoro, who was flying not far away. The folding fan in her hand covered half of her face, and her pale red eyes showed an unfriendly expression.

"Heh, you were the one who started it and harmed my princess. What? You're not going to try to back out, are you?"

Holding a bow and arrow, Eirin Yagokoro smiled coldly, her face radiating chill, making no attempt to conceal her intense hostility.

"Your princess? Who's that?"

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo seemed to be deep in thought, sensing that there must be some hidden truth behind what was originally a simple matter, and that this was the key point she had overlooked when she was scheming.

"Wasn't all of this caused by Suzuki Satoru's daughter? We just added a little fuel to the fire, making it erupt even more fiercely."

Yukari Yakumo didn't think there was anything wrong with her actions, because one of her basic principles was to ensure Kaguya Houraisan's safety, and pushing for some manipulation beyond that shouldn't be a big deal.

If all else fails, I can go to Old Man Laoshan's house in person to apologize later. I suppose as long as Kaguya of Houraisan doesn't get into trouble, that terrifying guy shouldn't dare to draw his sword against me.

However, the appearance of Eirin Yagokoro and Luna Capital directly disrupted Yukari Yakumo's plans, causing the game to slip completely out of her control, making it impossible to manage the scale of casualties as she had envisioned.

“Suzuki Take is the alias of my princess, Houraisan Kaguya, on Earth.”

Eirin Yagokoro's calm words instantly enlightened Yukari Yakumo, who had been confused. However, she was still puzzled as to where these people had suddenly come from, as she had never heard of such a force before.

"We have come here to bring back Her Highness the Princess, but before that, we must settle our score with you!"

After finishing her sentence, Yagokoro Eirin drew her bow and fired three shots at Yakumo Yukari, giving her no time to say anything more.

After teaching this monster who dared to plot against the princess a lesson, Yagokoro Eirin still had to meet up with Houraisan Kaguya and get her out of this troublesome place as soon as possible; time was of the essence.

"Oh dear, you're really impatient. You haven't even finished speaking before you're already getting started."

After Yakumo Yukari dove into the gap, she peeked out from another gap in another place and joked, but the surging demonic energy indicated that she had already entered battle mode.

Seeing that Yukari Yakumo had skillfully dodged her three arrows with ease, Eirin Yagokoro immediately realized that she had to find a way to limit her opponent's elusive ability in order to fight her.

"A world within a pot!!"

As the spell was cast, eight arrows coated with different magical potions were fired by Eirin Yagokoro in all directions.

Before Yukari Yakumo could react, darkness enveloped the sky and the earth, enveloping the two of them and reinforcing the space around them.

A vast and magnificent Milky Way appeared in this dark world, its starlight twinkling and shining, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Despite her extensive combat experience, Yukari Yakumo was not alarmed. After all, the first thing anyone did when facing her was to try to limit her elusive gap abilities.

Yukari Yakumo has faced this situation countless times before, and it's not that she's completely unable to use the gap right now; it's just that opening and closing the gap is quite difficult and troublesome.

Sensing how difficult Eirin Yagokoro was to deal with, Yukari Yakumo became extremely vigilant. Now that things had escalated to this point, no one was willing to back down easily.

"Since you want to fight, then I'll gladly oblige. Let's see how this move goes first: The Web of Light and Darkness!!"

Although Yukari Yakumo's realm ability is strange, Eirin Yagokoro's power to create any kind of potion is not to be trifled with.

The long passage of time has enriched Eirin Yagokoro's knowledge to an immense degree, enabling her to find ways to counter Yukari Yakumo's various unexpected and tricky tactics in a very short time.

The power of realms is difficult to break in a short time, but the demonic power that drives realm power is not so complicated.

Due to the limitations of her own power, Yukari Yakumo cannot use her power to influence realms on a large scale, nor can she change the realms of beings whose power far exceeds her own.

Otherwise, if one were to descend into a state of 'life and death,' wouldn't one be able to instantly kill their opponent?

Eirin Yagokoro adjusted her attack methods to exploit Yakumo Yukari's subtle weaknesses, using her wisdom and cunning to weave traps that left Yakumo Yukari helpless.

"You're a million years too early to try and scheme against my princess."

As Yagokoro Eirin spoke with a sneer, she once again drew her bow and shot an arrow at a point in the array, making the cage imprisoning Yakumo Yukari even more solid.

"The balance between dynamics and statics! The reversal of existence and disappearance!!"

Knowing that things would turn out badly if things continued this way, Yukari Yakumo first stopped the oncoming arrow, and then, at the cost of a huge amount of demonic power, reversed and overturned the entire realm of the 'world within a pot'.

Despite her deep resentment, Yukari Yakumo made the most rational decision.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Otherwise, if the enemy manages to suppress us with a powerful formation, things will be dire.

While Yagokoro Eirin was still caught off guard by her sudden and decisive move, Yakumo Yukari quickly opened a gap and slipped inside.

Yukari Yakumo manipulated the gap to close, turned her head and gave Eirin Yagokoro a deep look, leaving behind a harsh remark before departing.

"Even if we lose this time, we'll settle this score with you sooner or later! Sage from the Moon Capital, Eirin Yagokoro."

Seeing that Yukari Yakumo was retreating quickly, Eirin Yagokoro was also at a loss with this slippery opponent, so she immediately shifted her attention to the next matter.

"It's time to go find the princess, otherwise this chaos won't last much longer."

She looked down at the Heian-kyo battlefield, which was almost completely and forcefully suppressed by the Lunar Capital's army, and transformed into a streak of light, falling from the sky and rushing towards a certain place.

Chapter 129 The Strange Tales of the Headless God (Part 2)

The passageway between the lunar surface and the Earth's surface.

At this moment, the Moon Sage Takemikazuchi, who was ordered to guard this place, and his Moon People and Moon Rabbit soldiers were bowing towards the entrance of the passage, seemingly welcoming the arrival of some important figure.

Dressed in magnificent robes, Tsukiyo Mikoto slowly walked out of the passage. After years of treatment by Yagokoro Eirin, his neck had finally recovered and he no longer needed to support his head to get through the day.

Normally, it would be impossible for the Moonlit Venerable to leave the moon and come to the ground, but some abnormalities that he had vaguely sensed some time ago had made this god very concerned.

That is, Eirin Yagokoro's abnormality.

Although the excuse of needing to go into seclusion to refine medicine was reasonable, Tsukiyo no Mikoto keenly sensed that something was amiss, as if his friend, who had been with him for so many years, was about to leave him soon.

"Yagokoro Eirin, I hope you haven't betrayed me."

As Tsukiyo-no-Mikoto spoke, his gaze drifted to the dilapidated Heian-kyo not far away, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at insignificant ants and straw dogs.

It is not surprising that Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, as a deity, would hold such an attitude, since humans in ancient times were merely toys kept by the gods.

They only offer protection out of interest, bestow miracles to reward the devout, and even design scripts to guide so-called heroes to defeat evil as a form of entertainment.

This is especially true for the innate gods who were born as gods, because they have never experienced human life and naturally do not understand what kind of race this is.

The Moonlit Lord glanced at the Moon People bowing in unison and gave a deep command:
