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

Having dealt with the shrine maidens for several days, he understood very well that those shrine maidens were no match for even him, so how could they possibly be a match for Reiko?

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Asahi couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. It seemed that the shrine maidens would have no choice but to continue apologizing.

Meanwhile, in the room next to Shimizu Asahi and the others, the thirteen shrine maidens who had come in pursuit were gathered together, seriously discussing what to do next.

They truly felt deep remorse for this incident.

Shimizu Asahi and Reiko worked tirelessly to help them retrieve the artifact, but the women mistook them for enemies and relentlessly pursued them for days. They even deliberately concealed information and bore the pressure alone to protect them from harm...

This is extremely inappropriate. As priestesses serving the shrine maiden of Izumo, their behavior is far too inappropriate.

Moreover, after calming down and reflecting on it, they even had a chilling feeling about it.

During the pursuit, they may have been... controlled by an evil god!

In fact, during several battles with Shimizu Asahi, they sensed something was amiss. If they had calmed down and thought things through, they might have easily arrived at the real answer. But for some reason, their minds seemed to be imprisoned, and they persisted in the idea that 'Shimizu Asahi is the enemy'.

The power of Yamata no Orochi is silently influencing them!

Indeed, this was the case. The power of Yamata no Orochi seeped into the bodies of the priestesses. In the final battle with Shimizu Asahi, he intended to use the priestesses as bait to make Shimizu Asahi lose without a fight. However, he did not expect that Shimizu Asahi could successfully control the Yasakani no Magatama, which surprised him and exposed a weakness. He then successfully defeated him by taking advantage of this weakness.

The plan was well-thought-out, but unfortunately, nothing is absolute.

After reconstructing the events to a near certain degree, the shrine maidens pondered how to gain the forgiveness of Shimizu Asahi and Shimizu Reiko while using secret techniques to send the news back to Izumo Taisha.

By this time, the divine child should have already received the information.

Hopefully they can provide instructions for the next steps...

While Shimizu Asahi and the shrine maidens were each doing their own thing, a faint purple aura suddenly appeared on the battlefield where Shimizu Asahi was fighting Orochi.

This wisp of energy was very small, like a speck of smoke, yet it grew at a visible speed, becoming large enough to contain a person in the blink of an eye.

Then, a shadow emerged from the aura, and a cold and sinister voice quietly rang out in the chilly night sky.

"Hehehe... This game is so much fun, ah... I haven't been this happy in a long time."

The breath slowly faded, and the bright moonlight fell upon the shadows.

It was a man, a man with long purple hair and purple eyes, exuding an aura of evil that made people want to fall into depravity.

If Shimizu Asahi were still here, he would be shocked beyond belief, because this man was their previous target—the evil god, Yamata no Orochi!

He did not die. He took the strongest blow from Shimizu Asahi head-on, and he is still alive—his power remains!

"If all my strength is combined, I might actually be seriously injured."

"It was definitely the right thing to prepare in advance."

"Humans are so interesting..."

The fun of this game has exceeded His imagination, and for now, He is already very satisfied.

However, those who pursue pleasure will never stop because of the satisfaction of the moment. He had indeed lost the previous battle, but he had not lost the power to resist. His other trump card was still silently hidden.

"This game isn't over yet, at least not until I've had my fill."

"Little guy... no, Shimizu Asahi, let's begin our second round."

The evil god smiled coldly; his expression and his actions revealed his glee at the continuation of the game.

How will Shimizu Asahi respond to His next attack? It's truly exciting...

But just as He burst into laughter, a brilliant light suddenly shone from the endless night sky, and in an instant, it crashed down onto the earth not far from Him. (Chapter 312, Section 315)

The sudden turn of events caused the evil god to furrow his brow slightly. He stopped smiling and subconsciously looked towards where the light had landed.

For some reason, the aura emanating from this light gave Him a very familiar feeling, as if He had come into contact with it before.

Is it someone I knew from millions of years ago?

He instinctively thought this way, but before he could react to who it was, a figure slowly emerged from the light.

With her magnificent golden robes and haughty, exquisite face, the moment she shone in the light, the entire world paled in comparison.

The moonlight seemed to gather around her, the earth seemed to submit to her feet, and all the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers surrounded her.

She became the sole focus of this world—this world, at this moment, revolved around her.

"!?"

A noble aura that seemed to reign supreme over heaven and earth surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the evil god who stood still. His eyes widened, his body trembled, and his originally sinister and eerie expression vanished, replaced by anger and madness.

His emotions unleashed an unquenchable storm!

"Amaterasu...Omikami!"

A voice, cold and devoid of any emotion, swept by like a chilling wind. Familiar... how could He not be familiar with this aura?

He was ordered to be executed and sealed within the realms of Yin and Yang, so that no matter how much time passes, He will never forget!

"I didn't expect you to still be alive, Orochi!"

Just like an evil god, the reappearance of a god who should have died caused Shimizu Mio, who was already restless, to turn cold.

"Ah, I'm still alive. Have I disappointed you, Amaterasu?"

"Disappointment? There's a limit to stupidity. How can a dying man disappoint me?"

"No matter why you are here, and no matter why you appeared, since you are still alive, this time, I will personally wipe you out!"

No need for superfluous words or reasons. The serpent is the prophet, and His survival will lead to the fall of the land of the gods. In any case, they are enemies, irreconcilable enemies!

Similarly, the moment the evil god saw her, he decided to fight.

Even though He was no match for Him now, He never thought of running away!

Because...that's impossible.

Having only recovered a portion of his power, he had no chance of escaping from the peak of Shimizu Mio's strength.

All that awaited Him was death!

A blazing, intense light rose from Shimizu Mio's body, its sun-like radiance dispelling all the coldness and darkness!

A hissing sound came from the evil god, as if it were being scorched by a raging fire, with wisps of blue smoke constantly rising from all parts of its body.

"Well!!!"

Intense pain surrounded every corner of the evil god's body—skin, bone marrow, flesh, and brain—and the light shining upon him burned his body like the sun.

His power was constantly fading, and his mind was gradually becoming hazy. Having been sealed for millions of years, and with only a portion of his power restored, he was completely unable to resist and could only endure this torturous pain.

But no matter how intense the pain was, even when his entire body was consumed by the agony, he did not utter a single cry of pain.

He will not bow down to her, nor will he show any weakness. His body is sealed in the rift between the Yin and Yang realms. Even if this last bit of power turns to ashes, it will only fall back into slumber. Tens of millions of years later, he will be resurrected!

Perhaps sensing that its power could no longer sustain it, the evil god burst into maniacal laughter.

He looked at the most noble figure in the world and roared:

"Amaterasu! I will definitely return! You can't kill me, you never can! Hahaha..."

"One day, I will make Takamagahara pay the price!"

"If you return, I will seal you away once more!"

The evil god's body slowly disappeared, just like burning paper, gradually turning into ashes and vanishing without a trace.

Watching His gradually disappearing figure, Shimizu Mio remained cold and arrogant.

"I could seal you away millions of years ago, and I can do it again millions of years from now!"

As the last wisp of ashes dissipated and the world returned to tranquility, Shimizu Mio's cold expression gradually calmed down.

She let out a soft breath, her body relaxing involuntarily. Despite the arrogant words she had just uttered, she did not underestimate the Yamata no Orochi.

The power of that man was felt by many gods in the Land of Gods.

However... there's no need to be too nervous for now. The trace of power He regained over millions of years has been completely erased, and it will take another millions of years to recover it. So, it's fine to ignore Him for now.

"Let's go find that guy first."

After putting aside the matter of the Yamata no Orochi, Shimizu Mio prepared to go find Shimizu Asahi.

In fact, as the ruler of the Land of Gods, she could perceive everything happening around her in an instant. She could easily see through why the Yamata no Orochi appeared here and why Fei Yichuan was in such a mess. Therefore, finding someone was also very simple for her. Unfortunately, Shimizu Asahi possessed her power, and under the protection of that power, she was unable to find his whereabouts.

Therefore, with no other choice, Shimizu Mio could only go to the nearest Shimane County.

"Speaking of which, Orochi mentioned his name before, didn't he?"

"Did He appear because of Him?"

On the way, Shimizu Mio, who had calmed down, finally noticed the words that Orochi had said before she arrived. And thinking about the disappearance of the Izumo Taisha artifact, she pieced together the events in detail.

"It seems that the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the Yasakani no Magatama have both fallen into his hands."

"Although it's only a part of His power, being able to take back the artifact from Him is not bad."

For some reason, a sense of pride quietly rose in Shimizu Mio's heart, as if everything Shimizu Asahi had done was done by her.

Moreover, her anxiety and restlessness gradually dissipated as she set off, and now her emotions were filled with anticipation.

I wonder what expression that little guy will have when he sees me. He must be very surprised.

And then there's the title "sister"... She calls her "sister" as soon as they meet, and her power is hidden within her. This time, she's determined to find out everything.

With a mix of anticipation and pride, Shimizu Mio arrived in Shimane County. It was already quite late, and most of the people in Shimane County were asleep. Shimizu Mio searched for a long time before finding an inn that was still open. She casually asked for a room and checked in.

Normally, she would never have lived in a place like this, but now she was in a good mood, so she didn't care so much.

And perhaps it was fate, but Shimizu Mio and Shimizu Asahi were staying in the same inn, and the two rooms were right next to each other. (Chapter 313, Section 316)

The next morning, Shimizu Asahi woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously sat up and yawned. Then, a wave of fatigue surged from every corner of his body, and a sense of powerlessness took over his mind.

The expected feeling didn't panic him. He rubbed his shoulders and said with some helplessness, "Even though I rested for a night, I still feel so tired. The human body really does recover quite slowly."

But that's only natural; how could the fatigue accumulated over several days be wiped away in one night?

After shaking his head, Shimizu Asahi stopped worrying about it.

He woke Reiko up, and the two quickly washed up before heading out for breakfast. However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw a shrine maiden from Izumo Taisha standing quietly in front of it.

Upon seeing them emerge, the shrine maiden, who had been waiting there since early morning, immediately smiled and greeted them, "Good morning, Miss Shimizu, Mr. Shimizu."
