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

Letting go of hatred doesn't seem like a bad idea.

But one day, an accident happened.

The evil god, who was peacefully accompanying Ibuki, suddenly felt the power of the sun. That vast, powerful, and domineering power would never be forgotten, no matter how much time had passed!

Amaterasu Omikami... has descended!

Although the Great God did not descend upon the sealed place, the evil god's intuition told him that his life with his daughter... had come to an end.

Unsure of the source of his ominous premonition, He decided to send his daughter away... He was not afraid of Amaterasu, but his daughter was. He, sealed within, could not protect his daughter, and Amaterasu would never let her go. Therefore, sending his daughter away before the threat brought by Amaterasu arrived was the right choice.

A month later, when the evil god watched the great god fly away from here, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I gave my daughter away...

But it was precisely because of this incident that the evil god's resentment towards the Great God intensified.

Not only did He betray His best friend, but He also sealed His corpse in the Yin-Yang Rift, and now He's forcing Him to send away His only support... Fine, very well! He will settle this score with the Great God sooner or later!!

From that time onward, the evil god began plotting how to destroy Takamagahara.

He realized that the hatred between himself and Takamagahara had been forged, and whether he liked it or not, the war had already begun. If it was to stop, one side had to fall.

The life of hiding and running with his daughter was not the life He wanted. Therefore, He wanted to win and destroy Takamagahara!

He did not tell Ibuki about this plan, because His enemy was Takamagahara, which possessed the observer of fate and the Great God. Ibuki's power was too insignificant in such a war.

This is why, even though the evil god had obtained the power to leave the seal, he never went to find Ibuki.

However, now, Ibuki has come to find Him on her own initiative. After being separated for a thousand years, the father and daughter have finally been reunited.

"Hehehe... It has been a long journey, Father."

Recalling the days when she used to fall asleep in her father's arms, when he held her high in his arms, and when she would steal his sake, Ibuki couldn't help but laugh.

In Ibuki's view, the reason why her plea for Shimizu Asahi and her choice to stop the war were decisively rejected was because the evil god, as her father, did not want to see his daughter get married.

Therefore, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad about this reason.

but......

“You’ve grown up, little one. When you left me, you only reached my waist, but now you can talk to me as an equal.”

"I am very pleased and happy."

A faint smile appeared on the face of the evil god. The growth of a child is the greatest joy for parents. The little guy who used to be so small and pouty has now become the king of Mount Ooe. Only the evil god himself can understand this joy.

But before his smile could fully bloom, the evil god revealed a look of clenched teeth.

"But, Ibuki... you shouldn't have fallen for that guy!" Chapter 455, You betrayed me again!

"He is our enemy!"

The evil god gritted his teeth. As a father, he would not allow his daughter to be taken away so easily, but that did not mean he would forbid her from finding her own happiness.

If Ibuki finds someone she loves, He will respect her choice and bless her future.

But... He absolutely would not allow his daughter to be with Shimizu Asahi!

He could never accept that his most beloved daughter had been taken away by the brother of the enemy who had caused him to become like this!

Actually, the evil god didn't dislike Shimizu Asahi; in fact, once you disregarded his identity, he even had a hint of appreciation for him.

Whether it was gaining the recognition of the Eight-Foot Jade Orb three hundred years ago, which made Him taste the bitterness of defeat, or strengthening His will three hundred years later, which made Him willing to venture into the Ghost Realm for His friends, He greatly admired Him.

He wouldn't even have much resistance if his own daughter fell in love with him.

After all, he deserves his daughter.

But... Shimizu Mio... the adopted child of Amaterasu Omikami, this identity made all of this impossible.

He and Shimizu Mio are mortal enemies. He would let his daughter marry anyone but his enemy!

A few months ago, when He learned that Ibuki had moved into the Shimizu family home, He was so frightened that He almost ran to the Shimizu family home to snatch her away. If Shimizu Mio found out Ibuki's identity, she would be in danger!

However, the bull stopped him.

He said that Ibuki's identity has not yet been exposed. Although her older sister doesn't like her competing with her for Asahi, she still considers her a friend and has no intention of harming her.

In other words, Ibuki is safe now.

But if He loses patience and acts rashly, Ibuki's identity will definitely be exposed, and at that time, neither He nor Ibuki will be able to escape.

Although He didn't want to listen to the bull's words, He had to admit that remaining still for the time being was the best option.

Whether for his own plans or for his daughter's safety.

However, although He cannot go to Ibuki in person, Ibuki can come to Him.

If Ibuki finds Him, He can tell Ibuki Shimizu Mio's identity and get her to leave the Shimizu family.

As for stopping the war... that's impossible; it's already beyond stopping...

“Little one, your father knows what you’re thinking, but the war can no longer be stopped.”

The evil god exhaled a breath of stale air and said softly, "This is my final battle with her, and it can never stop."

"The final... war? It seems Father has some other plans he's devised that I'm unaware of..."

The Ghost King narrowed his purple eyes. The evil god's words indicated that He had other plans and did not want to tell anyone before the plans were exposed.

Although I want to ask, given my father's personality, he probably won't tell me.

"Hehehe... As expected of Father. Since Father doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't ask anymore."

"However, I also have something I would like to tell Father."

"Mio, you already know my identity."

"Ok?"

His expression, which had just eased, tightened again in an instant, and the evil god involuntarily widened his eyes. "What did you say!? She knows!?"

"No, how could she know? She shouldn't know! Could it be... a bull-headed monster!?"

"No, now is not the time to worry about these things... How are you? Ibuki, are you alright? She didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Startled by the news, the evil god immediately pondered why Shimizu Mio knew Ibuki's identity, but after realizing what had happened, he immediately became concerned about Ibuki's safety.

Being discovered by Shimizu Mio is the worst thing that could happen!

"Don't worry, Father, I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?"

Ibuki grinned and chuckled, feeling a surge of pleasure at the sudden tension and worry in her father's expression.

Unaware of the pleasure on her face, the evil god carefully examined Ibuki's body and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was truly unharmed.

Thankfully... my daughter is alright.

However, He then frowned.

Something's not right. Why didn't that guy make a move?

Knowing Ibuki's identity, even if she didn't kill her, she would definitely imprison and torture her. It's simply impossible for Ibuki to appear before Him unharmed.

What kind of conspiracy is that guy plotting?

"There's no conspiracy, Father."

As if she could see through the evil god's thoughts, Ibuki took the initiative to explain.

“Mio knows about my plan and agrees to it... She invited me here of her own accord.”

"Take the initiative? That guy also intends to take the initiative to stop the war?"

"Heh, is it because of Shimizu Asahi's idea?"

A faint hint of mockery appeared on the evil god's face. He said in a low voice, "How ironic, a god, yet he considers the plight of a human!"

"But that's fine too. Since she already knows, you can stay here, Ibuki."

“Even though she didn’t attack you, she is still an enemy. I’m not comfortable leaving you there no matter what.”

Although his identity has been exposed, his most important daughter has returned to his side, so it doesn't matter anymore. This time, no one, no matter who it is, will be able to make him let go of his daughter!

However, the moment He made up his mind, Ibuki smiled and refused.

"That's not right, Father. If Mio wanted to do something to me, she would have done it already. She wouldn't have waited until now."

"Furthermore, Father, who do you think exposed my identity?"

Ibuki was quite surprised that Shimizu Mio knew her identity. After all, apart from the other three demon kings of Mount Oe, the only people who knew that she was the daughter of an evil god were herself and her father. Shuten and the others would not reveal their identities. In other words, someone knew their relationship, but they did not know who that person was.

Well, I shouldn't have known.

Upon learning from her father that Shimizu Mio was the Great God, Ibuki almost instinctively recalled the burly man who had come to Mount Oe a few months earlier and asked her to go to the Shimizu family.

The burly man didn't clearly state his identity, only saying that he was Shimizu Asahi's older brother. Originally, she didn't care much, but now, she had to.

Amaterasu Omikami, the lord of Takamagahara, had two younger brothers: one was Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, who ruled over the moon and was worshipped as the lord of the moon, and the other was Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who ruled over the sea and was worshipped as the god of the sea.

According to legend, Tsukiyo-no-Mikoto is mysterious and unpredictable. Apart from his sister and brother, no one else has ever seen his appearance. His brother, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, is different. This god is ugly, rough, and majestic. He is a powerful and irritable god.

According to the legend, she easily guessed the identity of the friend that Mio mentioned.

—It was this sea god who first set foot on Mount Ooe!

Only this father's former close friend knew about their relationship and told Mio the news. (Chapter 456) He has never betrayed you.

The deity, awakened by his daughter's words, immediately realized what was happening.

"Bullhead!!??"

That's right, how could I forget something so important?

In this world, besides the father and daughter, the three demon kings of Mount Ooe, only Ox-Head, whom He had recently reunited with, knew that He had a daughter!

A few months ago, when the bull-headed man first mentioned Ibuki to Him, He was too shocked to ask him how he knew Ibuki was his daughter. When they met again, He didn't ask for various reasons. Over time, He overlooked the matter and instinctively assumed that the bull-headed man knew.

But unexpectedly...

He used past friendships to get close to me and made me habitually accept him... and then betrayed me!

hateful!
