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

The strongest human clan was defeated by the Oni King of Mount Ooe...

It was like a massacre. The Minamoto clan, who had obtained the power of the evil god, were like children who had not yet grown up in front of Ibuki. They did not need any demonic power or brute force. A cup of strong liquor was enough to easily destroy them!

—An absolute gap in strength.

Ignoring the guards lying on the ground, the petite ghost king looked at the gate in front of her.

"Hehehe...Is Father inside?"

With her amethyst-like eyes narrowing casually, the Ghost King chuckled as she took a sip of strong liquor, then headed towards the ancestral hall.

But just as she took a step, a crisp creaking sound suddenly rang out, and the door in front of her was opened.

Not only the main gate in front of them, but also the main gate inside the ancestral hall was opened.

The front courtyard and the ancestral hall were all reflected in her eyes.

"Oh dear... I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect anyone to be able to stop my divine wine."

"You are Yuan Jingji?"

At the very center of the shrine, beneath the tablet of Amaterasu Omikami, an elderly man knelt quietly, sipping his tea. The surroundings were serene and comforting, as if an invisible barrier kept the divine aura of sake that permeated the entire Genji clan from the outside.

Ibuki was somewhat surprised. She had thought that Genji would be able to resist her divine sake, but she did not expect that he could block the aura of the divine sake so easily.

The divine sake that can even intoxicate the evil god Yamata no Orochi is the best divine sake in the human world and Takamagahara. Its aroma is rich and domineering, and ordinary people will fall asleep as soon as they touch it. Even an Onmyoji like Kamo no Tadayuki, who can be compared with the demon king and the oni king, will be on the verge of collapse.

But the person in front of me...

Hehehe... No wonder the master is so interested in it.

Seemingly noticing Ibuki's gaze, the old man who had been sitting there quietly drinking tea raised his head, his cloudy, dark eyes falling on the Demon King.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Demon King of Mount Ooe."

As if unaware of the situation of the Genji clan, the founder of the Genji clan smiled casually and amiably.

"I've brewed some top-quality tribute tea. Would you like a cup?"

"Hehe...No need, I prefer wine to tea."

"But unfortunately, you don't have any wine here that can satisfy me."

Having declined Genji's invitation, Ibuki strolled up to him as if taking a leisurely walk.

Despite Ibuki's petite stature, standing less than 1.5 meters tall, Genji was kneeling, so even Ibuki could look down at him from a superior position.

"You should know why I'm here. So, will you open the passage voluntarily, or will I open it myself?"

"If I were to do it myself, it might be a bit violent."

"That's quite domineering. It seems that Lord Ghost King has no desire to talk... I thought Lord Ghost King would like to have a chat with me. I'm a little disappointed."

The old man shook his head with a hint of regret. It wasn't the first time he had encountered a demon king, but it was the first time he had met the demon king of Mount Oe, Ibuki. Moreover, this demon king was the daughter of the evil god, which made Genji want to have a chat with her.

But... lately, it seems that no one he's met wants to chat with this old guy.

It's truly regrettable that when people get old, even their only interest can't be satisfied.

"I don't have the habit of talking to old men."

"Really?... I thought so too."

Gen Kyung-ki gently put down his teacup, walked to the Great God tablet, and casually activated one of its mechanisms. The tablet then began to recede, and the dark passage reappeared in the shrine.

"The Evil God is below. Please make yourself at home, Ghost King."

"Oh......"

A charming smile appeared on her face. Ibuki stopped looking at the frail old man and walked down without hesitation.

Just as Qing Shui Chaoyang stepped into the passage, the moment she entered, a deep darkness came from all around, and in an instant, it swallowed up all her senses.

However, emptiness and loneliness did not come. It was as if Ibuki had stepped into her own territory. The feelings and atmosphere around her made her feel like a fish in the sea.

The long passage was swiftly traversed in the blink of an eye.

—The underground altar came into her view.

Her amethyst-like eyes subconsciously swept across the surroundings, and after taking in everything, Ibuki looked up at the altar.

Beneath the statue of that evil god, her father, the evil god Yamata no Orochi, sat casually on the steps.

Beside him were two unopened jars of fine wine.

"What a lovely environment, Father."

"It seems Genji treats you very well."

“Although I never say anything, humans care a lot about these things. They seem to think that doing so will earn them my praise or reward.”

"...What a foolish idea."

Undisguised mockery rang out casually, the evil god's deep purple snake eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Throughout the story, Genji portrays himself as engaging in a transaction with an evil god, but in reality, from the evil god's perspective, the relationship between the two is nothing more than one of exploitation and being exploited.

He was the user, while Genji was the user.

Humans are often unable to see their own limitations, mistakenly believing that the fall of gods gives them the right to make deals with them. Little do they know that even if gods are weakened, they are still gods.

"Hehehe... I see. Humans are indeed a bunch of fools."

"However, Father, I did not come here to tell you these things."

"I've come because of something, sir."

"You probably already guessed it."

"Ah, I smelled your scent on that little guy. I knew you would come after he saw me."

The evil god chuckled as if he had expected it; his daughter's answer did not surprise him. But the next second, his smile turned somewhat sinister.

"Ibuki, I know what you want to say, but I refuse!" Chapter 449, Section 452: How a Daughter-Obsessed Person is Born

"I will never let him get away with this!!"

Like a demon, the ferocious evil god roared loudly.

Ibuki, watching her father's frenzied state from below, narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Hehehe... Although I anticipated that it wouldn't be that simple, I didn't expect to be rejected so quickly."

"Should I say I'm happy now, or should I say I'm sad?"

Just as the evil god guessed Ibuki's purpose for coming and decisively refused, Ibuki also guessed that her father would refuse without hesitation.

The evil god Yamata no Orochi is a doting father. Although not many people know that Ibuki is the daughter of the evil god, everyone who does know is also aware of this fact.

In the world of the evil god, everyone is someone who can be used and everyone is someone who can be discarded. Whether it is the gods of Takamagahara or the monsters of the human world, He can use them without hesitation and discard them without hesitation.

However, there are two exceptions.

Firstly, there is his only close friend, the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, whom he could not bring himself to kill even though the Bull-Headed Heavenly King had betrayed him.

Even after being sealed away for millions of years, He still wanted to know why He had betrayed Him.

Secondly, there was His only daughter, Ibuki-dōji.

Perhaps having witnessed too much love, hate, and grudges in the human world, when stripped of his divinity and beheaded, the evil god's emotions erupted dramatically. He began to resent everything Takamagahara had done to him, and he also began to resent the betrayal of his best friend. Everything in the world became the object of his resentment.

Therefore, He decided to take revenge.

Perhaps the deep evil and the vast divine power were too incompatible, and the two forces began to intertwine and collide with each other, and the divinity of the evil god was slowly changed under this collision.

—He is about to fall and become a demon.

But just as He thought that, the unexpected happened.

For some reason, His emotions suddenly surged into evil thoughts and divine power. The two opposing forces were cleverly merged into one under the fusion of emotions. Moreover, due to the life force permeating the divine power, after these three forces intertwined, a child of the demon race appeared before Him.

The king of Mount Ōe, Ibuki-dōji, was born.

Mixed with emotions, evil thoughts, and divine power, everything that the evil god possessed was integrated into this child's body. Naturally, the evil god and this child formed an inseparable bond.

That kind of heartfelt, exhilarating, and joyful emotion... even an evil god cannot describe it.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it can't be described. He doesn't need to describe this feeling. He just needs to remember this feeling, just need to remember that the child in front of him is his daughter, and that's enough.

When betrayed by his best friend and no longer trusting anyone, his daughter appeared. Perhaps to fill this sudden void, the evil god poured all his emotions into his daughter, and thus, the "daughter-obsessed" person was born.

Perhaps as compensation from heaven, when Ibuki was born, He was sealed away, unable to communicate with the outside world or seek revenge. Therefore, His heart was devoted to Ibuki.

In the beginning, He cared for her as humans would, and looked forward to her growing into a human.

Because of her bloodline, she wouldn't experience any problems even if she didn't eat or drink. In addition, Ibuki herself didn't like to make noise and usually spent most of her days sleeping, so the evil god didn't have a difficult time.

...In reality, there is nothing in the Yin-Yang Crack that can satisfy one's appetite.

There was no water, no wild fruit, no animals; nothing but a pale, empty world.

Therefore, if Ibuki wanted to eat, he really couldn't satisfy his daughter's request.

However... perhaps due to inheriting His personality and bloodline, even before growing up, Ibuki has already shown the demeanor of a demon king.

Despite her indifference to everything else, she adores wedding wine, and the smell of it always makes her smile happily.

Fortunately, because he often drank with his friends, Orochi had a lot of fine wine, so even in this place where there was nothing, he had enough wine.

Looking at his daughter holding the wine bottle, the evil god thought that when his daughter grew up and was able to drink, he would teach her how to drink.

—The scene of a father and daughter drinking together must be beautiful...

However, as time went by, the evil god gradually became angry. For some reason, even a hundred years after Ibuki's birth, she still looked like an infant.

No matter what He did, He couldn't make Ibuki grow up; it was as if she was forever stuck in that shape.

What exactly was the reason, why, and who stopped Ibuki from growing up?

Fueled by this rage, the evil god began searching for the cause, and after decades of searching, He finally found the answer.

—The Yin-Yang Crack!

Yes, the place where He was imprisoned is the culprit behind this whole thing!

The Yin-Yang Rift is a rift between the human world and the underworld. There is no life or death here, and anyone who enters it will be swallowed by the endless void.
