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

"This is truly thorough..."

Even though she already had a guess in her mind, Shimizu Asahi still couldn't help but gasp.

but......

"Is this monster really completely dead?"

If there were still some fragments and traces left in the air, he wouldn't be too suspicious, but now that everything in the space has disappeared so completely, he can't help but feel doubtful.

As if in response to his question, the aura that had disappeared completely suddenly reappeared!

"call!!!"

A cold, gusty wind blew in from afar, instantly dissipating the previously intense heat.

Shimizu Asahi subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, trying to block the cold wind, but at that moment, the resentment that Shimizu Asahi had been wary of... appeared!

Various shapes and hideous faces, filled with resentment that inspires fear at first glance... appeared at the same time!

Densely packed, as far as the eye can see, the entire eyeball is filled with these vengeful spirits!

"This is... the vengeful spirit of the priestess that the Genji offered to the evil god?"

"many!"

Looking at the endless stream of vengeful spirits, Shimizu Asahi felt an overwhelming sense of shock.

He knew this was a monster formed from the resentment of priestesses, but he never imagined that there would be so many vengeful spirits of priestesses gathered within it!

Hundreds of priestesses! There were hundreds of priestesses!

Just how utterly depraved was Genji?!

Every priestess here died in the prime of her life, and the shocking resentment she exuded made his heart tremble!

Without any external force, the resentment this monster possessed was entirely provided by the witches; the power of the evil god had no trace of its own!

"I hate it! I hate it! Why kill me? Why choose me? I didn't want to die, why did you have to hurt me!"

'Mother, it's so cold here, Yuezi is scared... Mother, please come and save me, waaaaah...'

'Genji, I will not let you go! I will absolutely not let you go! You will pay the price!'

Along with the appearance of the vengeful spirits came countless voices filled with resentment!

The previously shocked Shimizu Asahi was immediately drawn to the voice. Chapter 480, Section 477: Just you wait!! Evil God!!

He looked around and saw that the vengeful spirits of witches were all screaming in pain and struggling.

They hated Genji for killing them, hated that the god they served didn't save them, and hated that even in death they would be toyed with by an evil god.

That century of darkness and suffering was enough to drive people to the brink of madness!

"Genji!!!"

With his hands clenched into fists, the black-haired boy felt such anger towards a family for the first time.

Yuan Jingji! He will definitely kill him with his own hands!!

But before the anger subsided, a cold wind blew in their face. Under the gaze of Qing Shui Chaoyang, those hideous vengeful spirits were mixed together by a mysterious force, and a huge, crazed snake head suddenly appeared!

The monster... is about to rise again!

"hateful!"

He could no longer think about it. No matter what resentment the priestesses in front of him might have, or what hardships they might be suffering, he could no longer think about it!

Seal them away.

This is the only thing he can do right now!

Resolute and decisive, Qingshui Chaoyang took out the talisman in his hand. The endless spiritual power turned into cold air, and almost instantly, the sky was filled with a chilling white that swallowed the surroundings. The struggling and roaring snake head turned into an ice sculpture in an instant.

As Shimizu Asahi thought, this monster was nothing to be afraid of because it was just a head and didn't know how to use its demonic power.

After sealing the snake's head to prevent the resentment from gathering again, Shimizu Asahi gritted his teeth. He wanted to save those vengeful spirits, but... his strength was insufficient.

They can only be rescued by the teacher after they get out.

"Wait a little longer... I will surely repay you, and your souls will go where they belong."

With a soft murmur, Shimizu Asahi made up his mind and suppressed the matter in his heart. Then, he raised his head and tried to leave again, but inexplicably, the evil god still did not respond to his call, as if to say, 'Our game is not over yet.'

But... is their game not over yet?

The entity that gathered the resentment has been sealed away, and the monster can no longer be resurrected. By all accounts, he should have won this war.

"...What on earth is this evil god doing?!"

"Does He intend to break the rules He set for Himself?"

The thought crossed Shimizu Asahi's mind: playing games with an evil god is no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Because of the difference in strength, the initiative is always in the other party's hands. If the other party breaks the rules, he can only be forced to accept it.

"......hateful!"

The anger that had not yet subsided became even more intense.

He thought that after defeating the monster, he could go out and help others, but he never expected that the evil god would break his promise! Even though he won, he was still locked up here!

He rubbed his face, saying with great reluctance, "Is this all we can do but wait?"

"Oh? I didn't expect that you would find another weakness of its just by not looking at it for a short while."

"Although it was a bit of a surprise, I still have to say I have to praise you. You really are something, little guy."

Just as Shimizu Asahi was pondering what he should do next, the voice of the evil god suddenly came from the void.

His expression changed, and he immediately raised his head and looked around.

"Evil God! Our game is over, it's time for you to keep your promise!"

"Keep your promise? Hehehe, of course, if you win this game, I will certainly keep my promise."

"However... that's only if you actually win."

The mocking voice echoed through the space as the evil god laughed loudly.

"Little one, do you remember the promise I made to you?"

"It's a life-or-death struggle; only those who stand to the end have the right to leave."

"That's right, you did seal it away. Even though a huge amount of resentment remained, you successfully sealed it away."

"But sealing is not death."

"Only when you truly give death to it can you leave this place."

"So... the game isn't over yet."

"Hehehe...keep performing for me, little guy!"

His black pupils shrank little by little, and Shimizu Asahi clenched his teeth almost instantly.

Damn it, I never expected the evil god's last resort to be this!

Monsters harboring resentment are immortal, and no matter what method Shimizu Asahi uses, she cannot kill this monster because she cannot erase its resentment.

Sealing it away was the limit of what he could do.

But in doing so, he also lost the opportunity to leave this place.

Unless Ōtakemaru and the others defeat the evil god, or his sister gets rid of the enemy, he will never be able to leave this place!

—If the monster can't kill him, then let him stay here forever until he starves to death!

Compared to the evil god, Shimizu Asahi, who has only lived for over twenty years, is still too inexperienced!

No matter what he does, he will still face a desperate situation!

"Damn it! I should have known better. How could He possibly play such a fair game with me!"

He cursed under his breath, and Qingshui Chaoyang's face grew increasingly grim. He no longer knew what else he could do.

"Little one, what's wrong? Are you so desperate that you can't say anything?"

"No, I'll get bored if you do that."

"To encourage you, I'll show you one more scene."

Accompanied by the voice of the evil god, an image was projected into the void, and in that instant, Qing Shui Chaoyang's expression... changed!

"This...this...this is!???"

The scene that appeared before him was actually the scene of the battlefield where He was.

In that scene, Ōtakemaru, Kuraji, Kani-hime, Ari, Aonobo, Aunt Kuzunoha, Tamamo-no-Mae... whether he knew them or not, all those who were besieging the evil god lay motionless on the ground.

The devastated land told a story of the great battles that had taken place on this battlefield. Sadly, those who tried to defeat the evil god were defeated.

The defeat was utter and complete, without the slightest setback.

"How could this be... Ōtakemaru and the others... have been defeated so quickly!?"

Has His power recovered to this extent?!

"Thanks to the sacrifice of the Genji, my power has been fully restored. As long as the seal is broken, I can be reborn, and at that time, the entire world, and Takamagahara, will be destroyed!"

As if seeing right through Qing Shui Chaoyang's thoughts, the evil god chuckled and revealed his current situation. At the same time, a pleasant yet unpleasant voice entered his ears.

"But of course, I've left you a sliver of hope."

"I'm gambling with the lives of the people of Heian-kyo. In other words, if you win this game, I can spare everyone in Heian-kyo."

"Although these yokai are not from Heian-kyo, I can spare them all for your sake..."

"That was your initial thought, wasn't it?"

"If they lose, you can use this method to give them a chance to survive."

"I didn't want to agree at first, but... I finally agreed."

"So? Aren't I very kind?"

"Hahaha! Little one, let's stop this small talk!"

"Just keep performing for me and trying to please me!"
