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

Genji... Genji, who has obtained the power of an evil god, is truly a dangerous variable...

To ensure the plan's success, he concentrated all his forces: the Abe couple, the head of the Fujiwara clan, Kyogoku Munemitsu, Tamamo-no-Mae, the Ise Grand Shrine, and numerous other powerful yokai who responded to his call...

Without a doubt, this is the biggest undertaking in human history. Apart from him and Shimizu Asahi, no one else could gather such power, and no force could face such power.

Even Mount Ooe and the Sea Kingdom are incredibly vulnerable in the face of such power.

Even so, Kamo no Tadayuki was not confident of defeating the evil god.

If he could gather more, he would surely summon them all.

This kind of combat power was prepared for the evil god; he did not intend to waste this powerful force on others.

However, the appearance of Genji and the hidden evil god power of the Genji clan disrupted the current situation.

He had to dedicate most of his forces to fighting the Genji, otherwise their army would be wiped out by the Genji before they could defeat the evil god.

The challenges have increased again...

"Hopefully, the demons of Suzuka Mountain and the Ise Grand Shrine can bridge this gap..."

With a soft sigh, Kamo no Tadayuki finally chose to abandon further thought and place his hopes on the impending arrival of the Sea Kingdom's forces and the Ise Grand Shrine.

The participation of these two major forces may be able to bridge the gap in manpower and strength, allowing more people to escape and fight the evil god.

In this way, he and Abe Masataka can deal with Genji without worry.

As those who know Yuan Jingji best, they are the most likely to deal with him, and only they can stop this former monster with the least amount of combat power!

However, after putting aside the matter of Genkichi, Kamo Tadashi began to ponder the game between the evil god and his disciple, Shimizu Asahi.

According to the evil god, He will give Shimizu Asahi a test. If Shimizu Asahi can pass the test, he will live. If he cannot pass, he will die there.

The test involves a powerful enemy. The evil god didn't specify who it is, but the fact that the evil god is confident he can kill Shimizu Asahi suggests that the enemy's strength is definitely not insignificant!

More importantly, the evil god made it clear that Shimizu Asahi must face this alone; if anyone interferes, Heian-kyo will be destroyed!

Because the battlefield was in Heian-kyo, Kamo no Tadayuki and his men had no choice but to heed this threat... They lacked the confidence to withstand all the attacks of the evil god.

In other words, this is the biggest test that Qingshui Chaoyang has ever faced before...

"Before the final battle, let's prepare a few more talismans to supplement that child's abilities... All that's left is to trust that child."

......

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shimizu Asahi, who had left the Yin-Yang Bureau, did not go home to rest first, but instead arrived at Kidomaru's house after turning several corners.

After knocking on the door skillfully, the black-haired boy, who treated this place as his own home, strode into the courtyard.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, he saw Kidomaru sitting helplessly under the eaves, and Enmusubi clinging to Kidomaru, chattering away.

Seeing this, Shimizu Asahi, who had just been feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, immediately burst into laughter.

The only person who could make Kidomaru look helpless, and who was unable to rebuke or refuse him no matter what, was probably Lord Enmusubi.

"Kidomaru, Lord Yukinokami."

"I didn't realize your relationship had gotten this good."

Looking at the two of them, Shimizu Asahi smiled and spoke.

However, just as he finished speaking, two voices rang out.

"Chaoyang, how can you tell that we have a good relationship?"

"Of course, we are gods and believers." Chapter 447, Section 450: Infiltration = Unparalleled

"Isn't this a great team effort?"

The black-haired boy smiled gently. He sat down on the other side of Kidomaru, looked up at Enmusubi, and said jokingly, "Enchantress has worked so hard, give her a definite answer."

"Don't drag this out too long."

"I have given a definite answer many times, but the gods have said that each answer is invalid... Also, we were not in sync at all just now, so don't talk nonsense."

The red-haired demon looked at his friend with resentment, his pale yellow eyes seeming to say, "You wouldn't help me, and now you're making things worse."

"I'm not making this up. If you don't believe me, ask Lord Enmusubi."

Unaware of her mistake and even wanting to see Kidomaru's helpless expression more, Shimizu Asahi shifted the topic to the silly god. Although Enmusubi wasn't quite sure of Shimizu Asahi's purpose, she at least knew that Shimizu Asahi was helping her win over Kidomaru.

So she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"That's right, that's right, we were just in perfect sync, it's just that you weren't telling the truth."

"If you don't dislike me, why don't you become my follower?"

"I don't restrict what my believers do, and I don't need you to support me, so there's no harm in agreeing to it."

"Furthermore, if you have a girl you like, I can even help you see if there's any connection between you two..."

"Please say yes, Kidomaru."

Looking at Kidomaru's face, Enmusubi, while talking, suddenly shook Kidomaru's body again, and his honest and cute face even showed a pleading expression like a child.

No... it can't be called a request, it should be called... a coquettish act?

"Uh-huh???"

The strong sense of déjà vu made Shimizu Asahi quickly think of the word "acting cute," but he quickly shook his head to banish the thought from his mind.

His interactions with the Goddess of Fate over the past few days have given him a clear understanding of her character: honest, optimistic, and positive. Although she may seem a bit greedy, she has her own bottom line. Moreover, her honest nature makes it impossible for others to see any trace of greed in her.

Overall, Enmusubi is a very ordinary, adorable deity, just like a human girl.

She was the most human-like deity that Shimizu Asahi had ever seen.

However, no matter how good her personality was, she was very clear about the difference between men and women.

When she was at the Shimizu family home and interacted with Shimizu Asahi, she was very well-behaved and never made any overly intimate moves, no matter how agitated she was.

It would be impossible for her to grab Kidomaru's arm and shake it while pouting like she was being coquettish.

"Isn't this relationship... a little too close?"

"Furthermore, Kidomaru doesn't seem to mind what Lady Enmusubi is doing..."

Shimizu Asahi's gaze flickered slightly as an unexpected thought surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be that...?"

"...No, no, no, that shouldn't be possible. Not to mention Lord Enmusubi, Kidomaru has no interest in this matter at all. It's impossible. I must be wrong."

Shimizu Asahi wasn't sure if Enmusubi had any feelings for him, but she was very clear that Kidomaru didn't have any such thoughts.

In Kidomaru's world, there are only two kinds of feelings: friendship and family. Love has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, as soon as the thought arose, Shimizu Asahi shook his head and suppressed it.

“I went to see you because I had something to do. On my way back, I was worried that you two weren’t getting along, so I came to check on you. Now that I see you two are getting along so well, I’m relieved.”

"Then I'll head back now. You and Lord Enmusubi have a good time."

With that, Shimizu Asahi smiled and left.

"..."

Are you worried we won't get along? If I believed that, I wouldn't be Kidomaru.

You must have wanted to see my helpless expression.

Although Shimizu Asahi gives people a very mature, steady, and sunny feeling, he actually has a mischievous side in private.

For example... this scene right now.

However, he only reveals this prank to people he knows very well, and as far as Kidomaru knows, so far only Shimizu Mio and he have done it.

As for why they didn't play pranks on Kamo no Tadayuki... surely no one would be foolish enough to play a prank on someone as calm and dignified as Kamo no Tadayuki.

With a helpless sigh, he spoke ill of his best friend, and then Kidomaru chuckled softly.

......

After returning home, Shimizu Asahi enjoyed a leisurely time. Before he knew it, night had fallen. Since he had no missions that day, he went to his room to rest early.

The girls watched his departing figure, their minds filled with countless thoughts, but none of them spoke aloud.

Soon, they returned to their rooms to rest.

For a time, the Shimizu family fell into a deep sleep.

However, this deep sleep did not last long. About an hour after the lights were turned off, the petite demon king in Ibuki's room suddenly opened her eyes.

Feeling the absolute silence around her, she smiled faintly, and then the door opened silently, and she left the room without a sound, dressed in a purple kimono.

Now that the decision has been made to end this war, it is only natural to contact my father as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be bad to make the same mistake as last night.

After leaving the Shimizu residence, Ibuki quickly headed towards the Minamoto clan's territory. Although she hadn't properly explored Heian-kyo, she could sense her father's presence, and all she needed to do was head towards that location.

In a short while, the Demon King traversed the entire Heian-kyo and finally arrived outside the Minamoto clan's territory.

"Hehehe... As expected of the Genji, the defenses are so tight."

"This is troublesome. I don't have the ability to become invisible, so I can't get in easily."

The strict security made the Ghost King smile, but despite her words, her face remained completely expressionless.

The Genji clan's defenses are so tight, what does that have to do with her, the Oni King of Mount Oe? And if she doesn't possess Onmyo magic, what does that have to do with her, the Oni King of Mount Oe?

She's not as innocent and straightforward as Qing Shui Chao Yang; she won't know how to show mercy, so...

"Have a good night's sleep."

An intoxicating aroma wafted silently from the enormous blue gourd; this divine wine, capable of intoxicating even the gods, permeated the air, and the Genji clan members who caught its scent collapsed one after another... Chapter 448, Section 451: But I Refuse

A rich, clear aroma of wine wafted quietly through the night. In the darkness, the king who ruled over the ghost race was slowly advancing with a charming laugh.

She walked forward step by step with her delicate, fair feet bare, and the Genji clansmen before her fell one by one with each step she took...

No one can resist the wine that can even intoxicate evil gods. Whether it is a guard or an elder, as long as they smell the aroma of the wine, they will fall silently.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky above the Genji clan was covered by a faint, yet indelible, color.

And within the entire clan territory, with the final thud of someone falling to the ground, absolute silence descended...
