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

The grudges from three hundred years later are all gathered in this game!

He will give his all, without hesitation... to kill Shimizu Asahi!

"This is...troublesome..."

Taking a deep breath, Shimizu Asahi knew clearly that the monster before him was not something he could handle.

Although this monster is as weak as an ant compared to the Yamata no Orochi's remains in the sealed land, it is still an unimaginably powerful and terrifying existence compared to Shimizu Asahi!

No... even without such a comparison, it's clear that Orochi... wouldn't choose to waste the opportunity to kill him.

He's doomed in this game...

"Hehehe...that's it, little guy. This is our last game."

"If you can defeat it, you can leave here alive, but yes, if you lose, you will also say goodbye to this world forever."

"Your soul, your body, your memories, everything that belongs to you will become my property. Even if Amaterasu goes to the underworld, she will never be able to revive you!"

Just as Shimizu Asahi was thinking this, the voice of the evil god suddenly echoed in this space.

He looked intently in the direction from which the sound came, and saw the phantom of an evil god silently appear above the head of the enormous monster.

Like a victor, or a supreme ruler, the evil god looked down at him arrogantly and confidently.

Asaka Shimizu squinted, offering no response, but... deep within her heart, intense emotions were spreading.

His sister's disappearance quietly shattered his composure. Normally, such provocation would not have stirred any emotion in him, but now, he felt a surge of 'unhappiness'.

He will defeat Him, crush His arrogance with facts!

"Oh? That's a rare look in your eyes. It seems her disappearance hit you hard."

"But... hehehe, yes, that's how it should be."

"Anger, despair, grief, lamentation—reveal all your darkness!"

"I will awaken all the madness within you and let you taste true darkness!"

I will make you... utterly corrupt!

Like a madman, the evil god opened his palms and laughed as he proclaimed his victory.

After laughing for a while, He seemed to remember something, suddenly restrained His evil and said with a smile, "By the way, to make this game more interesting and not end too quickly, I'll tell you this monster's weakness."

"This monster was created by me using the resentment of the priestesses and my own power."

"It has no intelligence, no reason, it only knows how to kill and destroy."

"Its reason for existence is to destroy everything that exists before it."

"You might think this is arrogant, or even disbelieve it, but that's okay. Once the battle begins, you'll understand how terrifying it is."

"Yes, the only weakness of this monster is that it has no intelligence."

“Apart from that, it is flawless.”

"Little guy, if you want to win this game, just take advantage of this weakness."

"I hope you can put on a fantastic performance for me!"

"Hahaha......"

Arrogant laughter echoed through endless space, and the figure of the evil god gradually disappeared with the laughter, and then... vanished completely.

The only thing remaining in this space is the last sentence...

"Then, let's begin the game." Chapter 468, Section 471: The Evil Ritual of the Genji

With the evil god's command, the monster that had been standing quietly at the evil god's feet, as obedient as a pet, was awakened once more.

It opened its bloody maw and let out a terrifying roar that shook the entire space.

Compared to the previous sounds, the sound at this moment was more terrifying and more powerful. Although the word 'wind' did not exist in this space, the sound waves made 'wind' a reality.

The stench that swept in engulfed Qing Shui Chaoyang's figure. In an instant, his intact eardrums felt as if they had been pierced by needles, and the intense pain made him cover his ears.

The next moment, a sticky sensation came from my palm, and the previously unbearable sound suddenly disappeared.

This unexpected event left him puzzled, but soon, a faint metallic scent reached his nostrils.

As if he had just realized something, he immediately removed his hand, and then... scarlet blood came into his view!

"Blood!?"

The unexpected color caused his expression to change drastically. He never expected that the monster's roar would cause his eardrums to bleed!

What surprised him even more was that he didn't hear a sound at all when he shouted!

His ears...became useless after that roar!

His inner emotions were swelling, and Shimizu Asahi took a deep breath.

Is this the confidence of Yamata no Orochi? Is this the monster that can absolutely be defeated?

That's too strong...really too strong. He's faced so many enemies, but this is the first time he's ever seen one who could deafen him with just a single voice...

Yes... just like the proud words of the Yamata no Orochi when it left, this monster, apart from lacking reason, is flawless.

......

As messengers of the gods, priestesses have always been sacred and pure beings. People believe in them, the gods love them, and all darkness seems to be completely isolated from them.

However, the purer something is, the darker it is. Just as light and darkness are opposites and interdependent, the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness, and the deeper the darkness, the brighter the light.

When a priestess, who was completely isolated from darkness, is defiled by darkness, her flesh, body, and soul will continuously swell and fall in the endless darkness, eventually transforming into a terrifying monster devoid of reason and only capable of destruction.

While such monsters wouldn't normally pose a threat to Shimizu Asahi, after all, no matter how powerful a shrine maiden is, she's still a shrine maiden; lacking sufficient power, she can't gain true invincible power upon death.

But what if there were hundreds of such dark souls?

The evil god was sealed in the Yin-Yang Rift, unable to contact or communicate with the outside world. Although he was able to enter the human world three hundred years ago, he lost most of his power in the war with the Great God. Therefore, he once again fell into a deep sleep in the Yin-Yang Rift.

Before He can reply, He can only wait for people outside to contact Him if He wants to establish contact with the outside world.

However, the price to pay for communicating with the gods is enormous, especially since the evil god is still in the Yin-Yang rift, and ordinary sacrifices are completely ineffective.

A hundred years ago, after the Genji clan brought the evil god back to their clan, they tried countless ways of worship to establish a connection with the evil god, but unfortunately, all methods failed.

The evil god seemed to exist in this world as if he did not exist.

In the end, most of the Minamoto clan members decided to give up. They no longer believed that the evil god could be resurrected and prepared to abandon the construction of the altar.

But they never expected that Yuan Jingji would ultimately choose the most evil sacrificial method—human sacrifice!

As the name suggests, this is an evil ritual that uses people as sacrifices. When Minamoto no Tsunemoto decided to use it, it was opposed by many members of the Minamoto clan. However, at that time, Minamoto no Tsunemoto was the only master of the Minamoto clan, and his words were absolute commands.

All objections were rejected, and under his supervision, the human sacrifice began.

This time, the sacrifice was successful.

The evil god, who had never contacted them before, finally responded to their voices this time!

—An evil god has appeared!!!

The success of the human sacrifice gave the Genji clan hope. However, because the sacrifices were made to ordinary people, these people had no spiritual power or strength. Their souls and bodies were merely ordinary beings. Even if they established a connection with the evil god, the power they gained was minimal.

After some searching, Gen Kyung-ki and his group finally chose the priestess.

To... the messenger of the gods, the purest girl, the priestess!

The ritual using priestesses as sacrifices was a great success, allowing the evil god to re-establish contact with the outside world, and the Minamoto clan successfully obtained power from the evil god.

For the past hundred years, the Genji have offered two priestesses to the evil god every year in exchange for the god's friendship. When they need something from Him, they will offer another priestess.

One request, one priestess.

At its peak, the Genji clan offered five outstanding priestesses to Him in just one year.

Under Genji's masterful intervention, the evil god's power continued to revive, and within a few decades, it returned to its state three hundred years ago. Furthermore, it even gained the ability to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world to replenish itself.

However, along with this result, the altar of the evil god was already littered with corpses.

Even the evil god himself couldn't remember how many witches' resentment he had.

In order to definitively defeat Shimizu Asahi, He combined all the shrine maidens' resentment and used his own power as a catalyst to create a completely new monster.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When the resentment of hundreds of dark witches merged with His power, a terrifying monster that could rival the Demon King was born!

When creating this monster, Yamata no Orochi knew perfectly well that Shimizu Asahi was doomed to die.

How could he, who was merely a great demon and had not yet fully entered the realm of demon king, face such a monster?

Even with countless methods, he could not erase the absolute gap between a great demon and a demon king!

And that was indeed the case; in just a moment of fighting, he was suppressed by this monster!

"..."

Wiping the blood from his ears, he frantically mobilized the spiritual energy coursing through his body. The fragility of the human body was fully exposed at this moment. Qing Shui Chaoyang had to cover his body with spiritual energy, otherwise, the next roar would shatter his body!

After completely protecting his body, he looked up again at the monster in the distance, but to everyone's astonishment, the monster... had vanished from the spot!

Where did it go?

Such a thought surfaced in Shimizu Asahi's mind, but before he could search around, a foul, fishy smell... came from above! Chapter 472, Section 469: Freeze!

He instinctively raised his head, only to be met with a gigantic, foul-smelling snake's mouth slamming down from above!

'when!??'

'No...danger!?'

Belatedly, he realized that a terrifying crisis was engulfing him, and alarm bells were constantly ringing in his mind.

Run! Run! Run!!!

Escape from here, escape from this monster!

Don't let it catch up with you, and don't make enemies with it!

Everything is for survival!

Shimizu Asahi has experienced countless battles and faced countless dangers, even facing the evil god Orochi with equanimity.
