How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

He felt as if this world had been taken over by Qingshui Chaoyang, and he was the enemy of this world!

"The power of the Yasakani no Magatama... has been activated!? You... have actually gained the recognition of a divine artifact!"

A sense of disbelief quietly surfaced. Yamata no Orochi had never imagined that one of the three sacred treasures of Yamato, the strongest weapon once wielded by Omikami, would actually recognize a human as its master!

Using a divine artifact and becoming its master are two concepts that cannot be confused. A person recognized by a divine artifact can use it, but can only exert a portion of its power. If the artifact is displeased, it may leave at any time. If it were to be described, it would probably be a temporary contract.

The owner of a divine artifact is the person who has signed a permanent contract with the artifact. Unless the artifact is completely disappointed, the artifact will never abandon its owner, no matter how corrupt the owner becomes.

In this world, there are many people who possess divine artifacts, but only gods wield them.

Although the Oni King Shuten-dōji of Mount Ōe also possesses the divine weapon Oni Gourd, before Shuten-dōji fell into demonhood, he was the son of the god of Mount Tanba and was revered by monks as the reincarnation of a god, possessing divine power. Therefore, he can be considered to wield the divine weapon with divine power.

Yet Qing Shui Chao Yang, a human, a lamb slightly larger than the others, wielded a divine artifact that even He could not control...

It's unimaginable, He simply cannot imagine it.

Has Omikami gone mad?

Whether the Great God had gone mad or not, Shimizu Asahi didn't know; all he knew was that the evil god had deliberately exposed his flaws.

Originally, he only hoped to severely injure Orochi with this attack so that it would no longer be able to interfere with their actions, but unexpectedly, it handed him the opportunity itself!

If we can seize this slight opening, this chase can end right now!

A resolute and decisive look flashed in the black-haired boy's eyes. Without much hesitation or thought, he made the wisest decision!

"Evil God, this game is over. I won't let you escape anymore!"

A majestic voice boomed across the sky. The human gripped his longsword tightly with both hands, unleashing all his power in an instant. The next moment, a golden lightning longsword materialized in mid-air!

The boundless power brought the evil god back to his senses, and when he realized all this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes for the first time ever.

'not good! '

He instinctively wanted to leave, but just as he thought that, the golden sword blade crashed down!

"Endless Sword Prison!!!" Chapter 313: Return the Divine Artifact? No way!

The earth collapsed and mountains fell. Under the golden lightning sword, everything in Fei Yichuan began to quietly crumble, and the Yamata no Orochi, facing the golden lightning, felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Power surged in from all directions, as vast and boundless as the heavens and the sea. Under this power, His body could not move at all!

How long has it been? How long has it been?

No one knows, no one can answer Him, not even Himself can remember how long it has been since He felt this way.

This feeling of being suppressed!

Ha, haha... Is this what it feels like to be suppressed?

Yes, that's it, that's it!

The evil god's eyes gleamed with boundless pleasure. Is this the power of humanity? To erase the boundary between man and god, to wield divine weapons with a human body, to suppress the gods with human strength!

I knew I wasn't wrong about you, little guy! That's it! Let's see what else you've got up your sleeve!

"madman!"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, the black-haired boy felt an overwhelming madness. Despite being suppressed by the divine artifact and his remaining power about to dissipate, the evil god laughed even more heartily than before... What a madman!

Isn't this guy afraid of actually dying?

Shimizu Asahi once again felt terrified by the evil aura of the evil god, but it was over. The golden lightning formed from all his spiritual power was enough to seal off all of His power, and now He only had one path: death!

"Reiko!"

A weak voice quietly rang out, and the mermaid princess, who had been standing behind Qing Shui Chaoyang and had not yet made a move, finally shone with her own light.

A streak of azure light shot out from the depths of the earth, and in the blink of an eye, it swept past the body of the evil god.

"!?"

Intense pain surged like a tidal wave, and a feeling of separation came from His arm.

The evil god couldn't help but shift his gaze, and then he saw blood and an arm.

Crimson and alluring blood gushed from His right arm, seemingly without end, while His arm, which had been gripping the Kusanagi sword, fell silently to the ground.

It was broken... His arm was severed by that single blow!

Is that her reason for not taking action?

So that's it. Their goal wasn't to defeat him, but to steal his divine artifact...

Things have changed. After realizing it was difficult to keep him, he shifted his focus to the artifact... Haha, hahaha, interesting, really interesting. Even without this moment of distraction, he would have paid the price for his carelessness!

Yes, this is what He wants to see, this is what He longs for.

What He has been pursuing is the possibility that humanity has created, a possibility that even the gods cannot foresee.

These two little ones are amazing!

Ignoring the evil god's crazed gaze, Reiko quietly extended her palm. The fallen Kusanagi Sword was drawn by the demonic power and quickly came to her side.

The clear water engulfed the artifact, and only after confirming that it was completely unharmed did she softly call out to it.

"Clear water."

"Ok, I know."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how powerful the evil god was without the divine artifact, he could never withstand its power. This game was their victory!

With his will, the golden sword finally fell to the earth, and indescribable light devoured everything around it. The world-destroying power ran rampant, and the entire world shook wildly.

The light lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating, and Shimizu Asahi and Shimizu Reiko only opened their eyes after they could no longer sense any fluctuations in power.

only......

"The damage is really severe..."

Looking at the huge crater that covered a kilometer, Shimizu Asahi couldn't help but sigh. The artifact with only a portion of its power had made him so powerful. If he could completely control the artifact, how powerful would he become?

As expected of the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three sacred treasures of Yamato!

"Shimizu, is He dead?" Reiko's pale yellow pupils scanned the surroundings, her expression still serious.

"His last bit of power should have been destroyed. What we need to do next is to find His body and seal it away completely."

"However, I'm too weak now..."

As Shimizu Asahi spoke, he suddenly sat down on the ground, bent over, his hands hanging limply at his sides, as if his entire body had been hollowed out.

Indeed, that was the case. That attack had drained all of his spiritual and physical strength, and now he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

"He is dead, so we can rest now and take our next action later."

After confirming that the evil god's last bit of power had been reduced to ashes, Reiko transformed back into her human form. She carefully helped the black-haired boy up and said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

"Ah."

Reiko helped Shimizu Asahi to leave, but suddenly, she paused, her eyes regaining their seriousness as she looked towards the forest not far away.

A soft rustling sound came from nearby. Although they suppressed their breathing and footsteps, she instantly knew who had arrived.

The shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha, those fools who can't see the truth and are blinded by anger and hatred!

Although Shimizu Asahi was able to get this far thanks to them, Reiko just didn't like... or even hated them.

Anyone who lays a hand on Shimizu Asahi is her enemy!

"Clear water."

The disgruntled voice reached the boy's ears, and he couldn't help but chuckle before saying, "Alright, the Yamata no Orochi is dead, and we can explain things clearly now."

"Return the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the Yasakani no Magatama to Izumo Taisha."

"The artifact can be returned, but not so simply!"

"I need an explanation, an explanation for both me and you. Without an explanation, I will not return this artifact!"

Lingzi snorted unhappily. She wouldn't swallow this insult if they didn't apologize.

The girl's words made Shimizu Asahi blink, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen Reiko say such childish, angry things... It seemed that the shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha had really upset her.

He chuckled inwardly for a moment, then said with a hint of indulgence, "Okay, then we'll return the artifact whenever you've calmed down."

If his fiancée is unhappy, then he should naturally pamper her. Besides, she is angry because of him. If he doesn't stand by her side at this time, then what right does he have to be her fiancé?

Reiko smiled happily after receiving Shimizu Asahi's support, but then a hint of anticipation appeared on her delicate face.

She couldn't wait to see them and apologize. Chapter 311, Section 314: Shimizu Mio: Yagi, you just mentioned Asahiya, right?

In a fairly nice inn in Shimane County, Reiko carefully helped Asahi sit down. Although she was still a little tired, her face was full of joy.

After the truth was revealed to the shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha Shrine, and the sacred artifact Yasakani no Magatama was presented as evidence, the shrine maidens finally realized that they had arrested the wrong person.

Realizing their mistake, they readily bowed their heads in apology and begged for their forgiveness. The leading priestess was so sincere that she didn't even mention the artifact they had been chasing.

However, no matter how sincere she was, Reiko, who had been wronged for so long, could not easily forgive them. So, after hearing their apology, she turned around and walked towards Shimane County with Shimizu Asahi.

The priestesses wanted to say something more, but since they were in the wrong, they had no choice but to swallow their words and quietly follow behind them.

Reiko outwardly remained silent about the shrine maidens' actions, but in reality, she was quite pleased.

No one can resist the pleasure of being apologized to by someone they dislike.

Seeing his happy fiancée, Shimizu Asahi smiled contentedly. It was nice to see his dashing fiancée making such a charming and endearing face.

However, since she's laughing so happily, it means that Reiko's anger has subsided considerably. She may still not like Izumo Taisha very much, but she definitely won't say those things she said before.

So he asked with a smile, "Lingzi, when do you plan to return the artifacts to them?"

Her happy smile vanished instantly. The girl gave a soft snort and replied, still somewhat unhappy, "I won't be appeased by a few apologies. Monsters have very small tempers."

"I still have a lot of anger left, and it won't dissipate anytime soon... Let them wait here."

"Of course, if they have the ability, they can also use their strength to snatch the Kusanagi Sword back from me."

Shimizu Asahi wasn't sure if the yokai were petty or not, since he hadn't encountered many yokai. However, he was well aware that yokai believed in the supremacy of strength. If the shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha really used their strength to snatch the Ama-no-Kurakumo Sword from Reiko, Reiko would definitely not say anything, and might even readily admit her defeat.

But... that's impossible.
