She let out a sigh of relief; her rage bar instantly filled up. Then, the Yin-Yang Orb shrank instantly, and everyone around breathed a sigh of relief. However, after shrinking to its normal size, Reimu used the Yin-Yang Orb to smash Marisa's head, yelling, "Serves you right for shouting like that!"

"Marisa!" Alice rushed over excitedly to help Marisa up, only to find that she had just fainted. Even so, she was still very angry. "Reimu, what are you doing! Why did you hurt Marisa!"

"Who told her to make such a racket?" Reimu said, looking extremely angry, while Black Rabbit on stage could only manage a dry laugh. "This match is..."

"You!" Alice was so agitated that she wanted to fight Reimu, but then someone grabbed her shoulders from behind. "Alright, Alice, Marisa is fine. Now it's time to start our plan."

Alice quickly turned to look at Marisa, who was lying in her arms. She saw that Marisa had opened her eyes and was staring blankly at the sky. "Huh, what's that? Black snow?"

White Yaksha on the stage was still a little annoyed. Her carefully prepared maze was so easily broken by the two of them, and the process wasn't exactly exciting, which made her a bit unhappy. However, Senju on the other side pretended not to see anything and looked around.

"White Demon, what's that?" Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly asked in surprise. Everyone around him looked in the direction he was pointing. Countless black papers were falling from the sky there. Senju felt that they looked somewhat familiar. "The Demon King, huh?"

A black piece of paper floated over, and Senju casually caught one, then looked at it. "Oh, it looks like a large-scale operation. It's a pity I said I wouldn't intervene."

However, just as Senju was watching, a sudden change occurred. A black wind suddenly surrounded the White Yaksha, sweeping away everyone around them. But this had no effect on Senju. In the end, Senju and the White Yaksha were trapped inside a black, semi-transparent sphere.

"Oh, this is quite interesting," Senju sensed the surrounding black smoke. It seemed to be a rule specifically designed for the White Yaksha, yet it also had some effect on Senju. It seemed to be designed for the power of the sun, but Senju could easily tear it apart. However, he couldn't find a reason not to interfere, so this was just right.

However, the White Demon was furious, pounding on the black smoke barrier, but unable to break it. Then he saw Senju sitting there leisurely. "Senju, do you have any ideas?"

“No,” Senju shook his head casually, “but I was never planning to make a move here anyway, so I don’t care about the Demon King or anything like that.”

"Is that so? Although you don't want to take action now, in the end... I hope someone can defeat them," White Yaksha said worriedly, looking outside. As the black paper fluttered down, gasps of alarm rang out around them, "The Demon King! The Demon King has descended!"

The people who were thrown away by the black smoke bombs seemed to be unharmed. They immediately huddled together and began to guard against possible surprise attacks from the surrounding area. However, four figures fell from the sky: a giant doll, a young man in a black military uniform with short black hair, a woman in white revealing clothing, and a girl in a polka-dot dress.

"So that's the Demon King. I'll go first!" On the ground, Izayoi Sakamaki attacked the man who looked strongest among the four, but was sent flying by a single blow from the man in military uniform. "Hahaha, you guys are so weak!"

"So this is the Demon King? He's really powerful." Sakamaki Izayoi, who had been knocked away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued fighting. This time, he used the fist techniques he had learned, and each strike gathered powerful energy as he fought the man.

However, out of sight of them, Yukari Yakumo patted the ashes of the item in her hand, "It's a really useful item, but it can only be used once. However, now, apart from the people of Gensokyo, it will probably be difficult for anyone else to defeat the Demon King."

Others tried to rush forward, but the woman in white took out a flute and started playing it. The people around immediately froze. Meanwhile, Leticia and Sandra were also suppressed by the spotted girl. The remaining giant puppet summoned many puppets that were causing chaos everywhere, and the people around were in a state of panic.

Soon, Izayoi Sakamaki and the others who were fighting there were all knocked away and were coughing up blood on the ground. There were no more people who could fight. Black Rabbit on the side was preparing to make a move. At this moment, Yukari Yakumo nodded. It was time.

"Alright, let's begin."

"Let's move!" Yukari Yakumo clapped her hands, and instantly more than a dozen girls flew out from the audience, surrounding the four people in the air. "Don't worry, everyone, the Demon King will be defeated by the people of 'Gensokyo'!"

“You really dare to say that,” the spotted girl from the Demon King's group spoke up, while Yukari Yakumo shook her head and whispered, “No, you’re all doomed.”

However, what the people around heard was, "Demon King, prepare to die! The people here will be protected by Gensokyo!"

Then, the people on the ground saw a torrent of light in the sky. The girls of Gensokyo attacked at the same time, and countless orbs of light formed a mythical river that rushed towards the four demon kings, followed by a huge explosion.

The people below also stopped in their tracks, nervously watching the sky, praying that Gensokyo would win. However, under the cover of light, the four demon kings were being surrounded and beaten up by the girls of Gensokyo. They even started fighting each other because they couldn't find opponents, making the light effects above even more intense.

After a while, Yukari Yakumo clapped her hands and said, "Alright, that's enough acting. Now it's time for the real show in Gensokyo."

With a loud explosion, the light effects faded, and the people on the ground looked on expectantly, then cheered, "Oh, we won!"

The man in military uniform among the four had been pinned to the boundary wall by Eirin Yagokoro's arrow; the woman in white had been pierced and pinned to the ground by Remilia's divine spear; and the giant white dolls had been reduced to ashes by Reimu and Marisa.

The last little girl was still putting on a brave face, raising a black shield and emitting demonic winds towards everyone, but Yagokoro Eirin saw through her act, shouting, "Everyone be careful, she's spreading the plague!"

"Ugh!" The girls around her who were swept by the black wind felt nauseous. Everyone immediately focused their fire on her, shattering her protective shield. Reimu also covered her with a bunch of talismans, and Eirin Yagokoro poured a bunch of potions on her. Then Alice took out a bunch of puppet strings and tied her up, suspending her in the air.

“This is impossible, it shouldn’t be like this,” the girl bound by puppet strings muttered, but then she glared at Yukari Yakumo, “Don’t think you can win so easily like this!”

“Is that so?” Yakumo Yukari looked at the struggling girl, then snapped her fingers lightly, and one hundred and thirty stained glass windows appeared in the air. “Is this what you mean?”

"How is this possible! Could this be a trap?!" The girl's expression changed drastically as she looked at the surrounding glass. Yakumo Yukari snapped her fingers again, shattering the disguise. "How about this true inheritance?"

“How could this be? This isn’t the glass we prepared,” the girl murmured. Yakumo Yukari chuckled softly. “No, this is the true legacy, an artifact made by the Grimm brothers themselves.”

"The Brothers Grimm?!" The girl's mind went blank for a moment, then she saw two boys emerge from a crack in the wall. To her, they seemed ordinary, but then a thought suddenly popped into her head, "The Brothers Grimm? Could they be the two who wrote Grimm's Fairy Tales?!"

“That’s not quite right,” the two brothers bowed. “The so-called Grimm’s Fairy Tales are just stories we collected and changed. They weren’t all created by us. But we never expected fairy tales to become so terrible here. To be honest, we’re starting to doubt whether our original creations were correct.”

Chapter 978 Public-spirited Gensokyo

“Of course that’s right,” the spotted girl said. “The Grimm’s Fairy Tales you created have spawned many people here.”

“Is that so? It seems our creation is still meaningful.” The two brothers looked at each other, then looked at Yakumo Yukari. “Lady Yakumo, we’re going to the Little Garden to meet the characters from our work and collect various stories. We’ll take our leave now.”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Yakumo Yukari nodded slightly, watching the two brothers disappear in an instant. "It's time to end this farce."

Yukari Yakumo waved her hand, and all three were swallowed up by the gap. The other members of Gensokyo scattered and left after seeing this. Meanwhile, the chaotic crowd saw the black papers around them instantly shatter. "Demon King! Demon King? The Demon King has been defeated!"

Of course, the people around were actually quite confused. They thought that this Demon King was actually useless. Before they could even run away, the Demon King was eliminated. The black sphere on the viewing platform also dispersed, and the White Yaksha shot into the sky from it, watching the Gensokyo members flying around in the air warily.

However, Yukari Yakumo ignored her and clapped her hands. Countless soft, giant orbs of light appeared in the sky, drawing the attention of the people on the ground. "Everyone, please rest assured, the invading Demon Lord has been defeated by our 'Gensokyo'. The safety of the Little Garden will be protected by our Gensokyo!"

"Oh! Gensokyo! Gensokyo!" The crowd below cheered, while Yakumo Yukari flew to the vicinity of the viewing platform and said softly, "Now, as the leader of the community 'Gensokyo,' I hereby submit a challenge to the community 'Fire Dragon,' which is hosting this competition!"

"What are your demands?" Sandra slowly took flight, and Yukari Yakumo looked at her earnestly. "This time, with the Demon Lord's attack, your 'Fire Dragons' are not strong enough to protect this place. The Level Rulers exist to protect the communities below, so I hope you can relinquish your position as Level Rulers."

"Transfer it to us."

"That's impossible!" Before Sandra could reply, White Yaksha shouted first. The 'Fire Dragon' members beside her were also glaring angrily at Yakumo Yukari. Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "It's not impossible. During this Demon King's attack, how many of the North District's Floor Rulers appeared? And who played a role? How could someone who can't fight the Demon King hold such an important position?!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, those who are defeated by the Demon King are forced to step down immediately, and their entire community is completely destroyed. Giving up just a title is already a very cheap deal."

"Through acquiring ownership of that demon king, I also learned something: there are many people here who have been infected with the plague virus. This is a species blessed by divinity, so ordinary blessings are useless. However, we can help make a potion to solve this problem."

Yakumo Yukari's words silenced everyone on the stage. The nameless one, of course, knew the consequences of the Demon King's attack. The 'Fire Dragon' hadn't suffered much damage at all; it had actually gained a huge advantage.

White Demon gritted her teeth, feeling that what the other party said made a lot of sense, but she was very unwilling. She had clearly come here to be a backer, but such a big mistake had occurred, which was really embarrassing. She looked at Senju, who was sitting leisurely below, and said, "Senju, is this what you wanted?!"

“I know nothing,” Senju shook her head slightly, quickly shifting the blame. “Although they are my subordinates, when we signed the alliance, we made it clear that I am only the nominal leader and cannot actually interfere with what Gensokyo does.”

"So, you mean I can defeat them without any problem?" White Yaksha glanced coldly at Senju, who nodded. "Of course, I said I wouldn't interfere in their affairs. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't kill them."

"Hmph, I'll give you face," White Yaksha's expression improved after hearing Senju's words, and then he shouted at the other side, "Hey, brats, as long as I, White Yaksha, am still here, you can forget about causing trouble."

"It's you!" Before Yukari Yakumo could speak, Reimu jumped out, pointing at Shiroyasha and shouting excitedly, "You just kicked me! If you don't pay me a few thousand gold coins, I'm definitely getting my revenge today!"

"Nonsense! I clearly didn't kick you, and I've already given you a hundred gold coins!" White Yaksha roared angrily. They had clearly agreed on a deal. "We're talking about the Northern District's hierarchy rulers right now. I advise you to give up now, or I'll take you down!"

"Let's fight! Who's afraid of who!" Reimu was extremely excited. If it weren't for the cute little girl on the other side, how could she have lost the bet with Marisa? She was sure to win and get 1,100 gold coins, but she lost 900 gold coins in one go! That's several years' worth of wages gone!

“Alright, Reimu,” Yukari Yakumo pressed Reimu’s shoulder, then looked at the White Demon, “You’ve seen it too, the Fire Dragon’s strength is no longer enough to fight the Demon King, and they were the ones who lured the Demon King here this time. Do you really want me to tell everyone about this sin?”

"What did you say?" White Demon and Sandra exclaimed in surprise. Yakumo Yukari nodded. "That's right. Just like you thought, this Demon Lord's attack was actually lured here by the 'Fire Dragon.' How can a community that colludes with the Demon Lord be the ruler of the hierarchy?"

"Oh, I see. No wonder the letter didn't explain why the Demon King attacked. That makes sense now," White Yaksha suddenly realized, then looked at Sandra seriously. "Sandra Teldorek, were you aware of this?!"

"How is this possible?! The Demon King was lured here by the fire dragon?" Sandra stood there bewildered. Yakumo Yukari nodded. "This is the current investigation result. Because of yesterday's rat attack, our community started an investigation. We eventually discovered the problem with the stained glass windows placed throughout the exhibition hall. Then we traced it back and found that these stained glass windows were deliberately placed there by the fire dragon's people..."

As Yakumo Yukari explained, a community full of public-spirited individuals emerged before them. After discovering the rat attack on humans at the exhibition, they began to investigate and found clues. Finally, they discovered the major problem of the community's 'Fire Dragon'. They originally planned to make a request after the competition today, asking everyone to join forces to resist the Demon King. However, they did not expect the Demon King to appear so quickly, and the Fire Dragon, which caused all of this, was completely powerless to resist. In the end, they had no choice but to take action.

Chapter 979 Strength is King

"Could it be my brother..." Sandra's eyes also glazed over. She recalled the various strange things her brother Mandela had been doing lately. "But why would my brother do this!"

“You probably wanted to defeat the Demon King here and increase your reputation,” White Yaksha sighed. “Unfortunately, Mandela underestimated the Demon King, and I was trapped, which led to this situation.”

“No matter what, Fire Dragon has committed an unforgivable crime and is no longer suitable for this position,” Yakumo Yukari said, half-covering her face with her fan. “If you transfer the position of the North District Leader to us, we will keep this a secret and preserve Fire Dragon’s reputation.”

"This..." White Yaksha hesitated, realizing that if word got out that he was colluding with the Demon King, the fire dragon would have no choice but to...

As they walked away, Sandra's expression kept changing. "I..."

"Wait a minute," Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly shouted from the ground. He had also heard what was said and, based on his analysis, it didn't seem to make any mistakes. However, he was still a little puzzled. "How were you able to find clues in just one night? Was it all planned in advance?"

“Well,” Yakumo Yukari smiled as she looked at Sakamaki Izayoi, “Where does the story of Hameln’s Piper come from?”

“It must be the rat catcher from Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” Izayoi Sakamaki said after thinking for a moment. Yukari Yakumo nodded. “That’s right. We happen to have the Brothers Grimm in our community. They happen to be here. Is it difficult to find clues?”

“I see,” Izayoi Sakamaki nodded, then pointed at Yukari Yakumo and shouted, “However, we, the ‘Nameless Ones,’ have already formed an alliance with the Fire Dragon, and we cannot withdraw so easily. As long as you can defeat me, we, the Nameless Ones, will no longer concern ourselves with matters here.”

“This is none of your business,” Mandela’s voice came from the side. He walked over with a gloomy face. “I orchestrated everything. It has nothing to do with Sandra. I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins.”

"Clang," Thousand Hands casually knocked away the dagger Sandra was holding, which was aimed at her abdomen. "Well, although it feels like we're the bad guys, that's how things are. White Demon, what do you say we do?"

“Brother…” Sandra looked at Mandela kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression. The nameless members around her were also at a loss. They looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.

“Alright, I agree to Yakumo Yukari’s proposal,” White Demon sighed for a moment, but then changed the subject, “However, as the leader of the Eastern District, and you are a community of the Eastern District, I need to test whether your strength is sufficient to inherit the position of leader of the Eastern District!”

"If you pass the trial, then Sandra will announce at the end of the Fire Dragon Festival that she will pass this position to you. If you fail, you will obediently come back to the East District with me!"

"Is that so?" Yakumo Yukari nodded. "It seems that we'll have to mobilize all of Gensokyo's resources this time. Lady White Demon, may I ask what your trial is?"

“I’ll fight you,” White Demon said, clenching her fist. Yakumo Yukari’s eyes narrowed, then she nodded. “Okay, but can we postpone the fight until tomorrow? Everyone’s tired right now.”

“Alright,” White Yaksha said, glancing at the chaotic crowd around him. “There are also many things to take care of here. Let’s hold the competition in this venue again tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Yakumo Yukari nodded, then clapped her hands, and a fellow Daoist walked over from the side. “This is Yagokoro Eirin, a highly skilled physician. She can help you solve the Black Death problem.”

"Please guide me," said Yagokoro Eirin, dressed in a Taoist robe, bowing slightly. Behind her followed a princess and several rabbits. The people around them carefully led them to treat the people around them.

"Are you confident?" Senju asked Yakumo Yukari as she watched Shiroyasha leave with his men. Yakumo Yukari smiled and shook her head. "Well, who knows? That's why I said Gensokyo's full strength is needed. This time, we need Senju-sama's help."

"What kind of help?" Senju nodded, while Yakumo Yukari continued, "I want to transfer all the members of Gensokyo here."

“There’s no need to go to such lengths. What’s the point of developing the community here?” Senju complained. Yakumo Yukari, on the other hand, answered seriously, “Because I see a future here! The more famous the community ‘Gensokyo’ becomes, the more area it occupies, the more ‘fear’ we can collect, the stronger we become, and the stronger Gensokyo’s existence becomes. This will bring all sorts of benefits to us and the world.”

“Is that so?” Senju sensed his own world and then discovered that there had indeed been an abnormal increase in the number of yokai in several of the worlds within it recently. “I will help.”

Afterwards, Senju and Yukari Yakumo returned to their base in Gensokyo. Senju watched as Yukari opened the gate to Gensokyo, and then she understood Yukari's plan. Using the power of the Sage Matara Okina's portal, she concentrated the power of everyone in Gensokyo into her own body.

"You're really cheating," Senju said, sensing Yakumo Yukari's aura. She had now become a big shot in the double digits. Even if White Yaksha completely broke the seal, it was uncertain who would win.
