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

"Hahahaha!"

This was the first time Shimizu Asahi had laughed so happily, and it was also the first time he had laughed so wildly.

He knew that after detonating the power his sister had given him, he would lose all ability to resist and die at the hands of the evil god.

However, he was not afraid, because he had completed his mission—to prevent the evil god from being resurrected.

No matter how powerful the evil god is at this moment, He is still sealed in the Yin-Yang Rift, and His own sister... can imprison Him once again.

Within ten million years, the evil god will have no chance of being resurrected!

But... I'm sorry, everyone, I can't go back alive, and the priestesses too... It's my fault for not being able to fulfill my promise to you, I've let you down, I'm so sorry.

Amidst his laughter, his joyful gaze gradually softened. He wasn't sure what would happen next, or how things would unfold, but it didn't matter anymore.

My sister will be down soon.

With his sister's help, everyone will survive. The only ones who died in this war were him and his teacher.

He gripped the divine weapon tightly once more, and as if sensing Shimizu Asahi's determination, golden lightning erupted from the Yasakani no Magatama.

So... let me face my destiny!

"I will drag you into the Yin-Yang Rift and torture you with everything I can. You won't die so easily!"

The oppressive aura was like a prison, and the light of the Yasakani no Magatama was instantly suppressed. No longer needing the power to break the seal, the Yamata no Orochi displayed its true power, which was above all things.

He will make Qingshui Chaoyang pay the price for his actions!

However, just as the atmosphere was settling down and everything seemed to have settled, a huge light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The shattered pentagram array reappeared, signifying that the sealed barrier array was instantly destroyed by the star array.

At that moment, no one reacted.

Neither Shimizu Asahi, nor the evil god, nor the Genji clan members below reacted in time.

"W-What's going on? Why has the formation, which had disappeared, suddenly reappeared?"

The evil god's gaze faltered for a moment, but soon, his purple pupils were filled with unparalleled joy.

Ha, ha... The seal is broken! The seal that suppressed the Yin-Yang rift and imprisoned Him for countless years has finally been broken!

Whatever the reason, at least now... He is free!

"Hahaha, I'm free! I'm finally free!!!"

The maniacal laughter brought Shimizu Asahi back to his senses. He looked at the shattered barrier in the sky and took a few steps back in disbelief.

How could this be... How could this be... He clearly destroyed the formation and robbed the evil god of his last hope, so why is this happening again?

Was it Susanoo? Did he protect the formation at the last moment of the explosion and keep it functioning?

No...no, my sister would never make such a mistake again. He couldn't possibly have another chance to strike. Why? Who was it?!

As her emotions grew increasingly agitated, Qing Shui Chaoyang's fingernails dug into her flesh. Today's events had truly been full of twists and turns. She had finally gotten an opportunity, only to lose it again. Now, her last desperate attempt had been defeated by an unknown person... Damn it, how could this be? Was fate favoring an evil god?

Just as he was getting extremely excited, as if he sensed something, he raised his head and... he saw a figure.

Wearing a loose purple kimono and with a petite and soft body, the Ghost King slowly approached him.

"I...buki?"

Why are you here?

No... this is not the time to talk about this, run! Run! She is no match for Yamata no Orochi. If she stays here, she will become prey for the evil god just the same!

Run!

However, before the words could be uttered, the Ghost King grinned and laughed charmingly.

"Hehehe... Don't worry, my lord, I'll be fine."

"Also, although it's not ideal to say these things at this time, but..."

"Let me introduce you, this is my father." Chapter 489, Section 492: You kidnapped my daughter, and I can't even kill you?

"Father, Father, Father!?"

The sudden words startled him. Shimizu Asahi blinked, and then... reacted in horror!

"Could it be... Ibuki..."

"Yes, it is I, your humble servant."

Without denying it, Ibuki directly admitted to his actions.

The formation that should have been broken was the one she protected; the seal that should have continued to exist was also destroyed by her.

"for,"

His mouth gaped slightly, an expression of disbelief appearing on the boy's face. He couldn't accept it, he really couldn't accept it. Shimizu Asahi could never have imagined that the person who had caused him to fail at the last moment was actually his own bedmate!

That's why Ibuki had to leave early... She was the last line of defense for the evil god!

"I never expected that you would be the one to complete this task in the end, hehehe... You truly are my daughter."

The evil god looked at the petite demon king with considerable surprise. Earlier, Ibuki had advised Him to stop the war and not to start such a bloody storm, but unexpectedly, she would protect the formation at the last moment and allow Him to be resurrected.

Sure enough, no matter what, Ibuki is still his daughter, and she will always stand on his side.

But speaking of which... how did Ibuki break free from her own power? The power He laid down was something Ibuki could never break free from.

Did this little guy hold back?

She truly is my daughter.

He pondered to himself, but the evil god didn't care too much. In any case, as long as the final result was good, that was enough.

"Hehehe... Well then, the final result is in, little guy."

Putting aside his thoughts about his daughter, the evil god approached Qingshui Chaoyang and laughed arrogantly, "With the seal broken, the Yin-Yang rift will be torn open again. In a little while, I will be completely resurrected, and you will be powerless to resist."

"However, you have surprised me too much. In order to prevent any accidents from happening during my resurrection, you should die here now!"

Suddenly, power erupted, and the evil god raised his palm, intending to kill Shimizu Asahi directly. Despite suffering a huge blow, Shimizu Asahi, who had been tempered, mustered his courage and raised his weapon.

No one wants to die like that. If they really have to die, they want to die with dignity, standing up!

However, a voice suddenly rang out, and just as their attacks were about to land, a charming laugh reached their ears.

"Oh dear, if Father continues to bully Master like this, I will get angry."

The descending hand suddenly paused, and the evil god stopped attacking.

With a flicker of purple pupils, the evil god glanced at his daughter with a puzzled look.

"Ibuki, after doing something like this, you're still protecting this little guy? Or are you trying to save his life this way?"

"Even if I promise not to kill him, you can never go back to him. He no longer trusts you."

"Hehehe... Then there's no need for Father to worry. Even if I did that, Master wouldn't send me away."

Passing the evil god, the petite ghost king arrived in front of Qingshui Chaoyang. She stretched out her slender hand and pushed the evil god back a few steps.

The father's face darkened at his daughter's nonchalant behavior. "You push me, but I won't push him?"

hateful!

That brat!

"Hmm... Although I could explain, before I do, I would like to know how you view this matter, sir."

"May I speak to you about it?"

The raised blade fell again. Looking at the girl so close to him, Shimizu Asahi opened his mouth, his expression changing drastically.

He seemed to want to ask her why she did this, but after several changes of expression, his conflicted look eventually turned into helplessness.

"This is the biggest blow I've suffered tonight. If it were anyone else, I probably would have already rushed up and demanded an explanation."

With a sigh, the young man said softly, "My current thought... is probably why."

"You must have your reasons for doing this. If you can still smile at me, then you must be confident that you can get my forgiveness."

"..."

Amethyst's eyes widened in surprise, a glint of light appearing within them, and the girl's smile became even more alluring.

"Hehehe, as expected, I knew that you wouldn't be as bored as the others."

“But… well, what you say is true, I do have reasons to ask for your forgiveness.”

"However, this reason needs to be acknowledged by Father."

"The evil god's...acknowledgment?"

Black eyes glanced at the evil god subconsciously, and Shimizu Asahi showed obvious doubt.

"Well, after all, this plan is just my guess."

Some irresponsible words came out of the girl's mouth. She tilted her head cutely and said, "When I was imprisoned by my father, I kept wondering why he still acted so recklessly after learning the truth."

"Even though there was no chance of winning, and even though the grudge between him and Susanoo was clear, he wouldn't have made such a decisive choice to start a war, even if it was out of resentment towards Mio."

"So I was wondering if Father did this for some reason."

"One reason that made Him dare to be an enemy of Mio, and also the reason that He had to start the war at this time."

"Although it is just a guess, I wonder if Father said something to Susanoo to get Susanoo to help Father."

"Only in this way will Father have the strength to face Mio directly."

“But Susanoo will not kill you. In other words, one of the conditions of the deal between Father and Susanoo is that you will not be killed.”

"Yes... You were never in any danger from the beginning. All of Father's actions so far have been nothing but a game."

"game?"

The words that reached his ears were astonishing. Shimizu Asahi looked up at the evil god in disbelief. This guy... was just playing a game? From the beginning until now, from the war to the desperate struggle, it was all just playing a game?

Shimizu Asahi subconsciously wanted to deny it. He couldn't be wrong. The Yamata no Orochi wanted to kill him, and the killing intent it released was real!

However, as if seeing through his thoughts, the evil god snorted heavily, "You kidnapped my daughter, so can't I kill you?"

The overly confident words made the black-haired boy blink. He looked at Ibuki and then at the evil god.
