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

The god who rules Takamagahara unleashed his power without restraint! Chapter 496, Section 493: The Younger Brother of the Family, Susanoo

"Wait/wait wait wait wait wait!!!"

The atmosphere was tense, and the feeling that they would collide at any moment made Susanoo shout loudly.

He stepped between his best friend and sister, raising his hand to stop the two from potentially starting another fight.

"Sister, calm down a bit. Don't you know best whether Chaoyang is dead or not?"

"There are still eight left. The plan has succeeded. Now, let's not argue with my sister anymore."

"Even if we're going to fight, we need to recover our physical strength and divine power first."

As Orochi's close friend and Shimizu Mio's younger brother, he was the one most concerned about this feud that had lasted for countless years.

To save his best friend's life, he didn't hesitate to cut off his friend's head with his own hands. In order to prevent his sister from finding out that his best friend was still alive, he fought with his sister many times, making his already lowly status in his sister's heart even lower. To be honest, he has lived a really tiring life all these years.

But what can we do about it?

Whether it's Yamata or Shimizu Mio, they are both his family. He is the one who is most heartbroken by their conflict.

Who would want to watch their loved ones fight to the death over a prophecy?

Therefore, in order to repair their relationship... at the very least, to prevent them from becoming mortal enemies.

He had waited countless years for this day, and now that he had finally seen such hope and succeeded, he naturally couldn't bear to watch the two of them fight again.

Seeing the bull's head blocking his way, the evil god couldn't help but snort coldly. Despite his displeasure, he ultimately chose to stop.

"...Hmph, since that's what Bullhead said, I'll teach you a lesson next time!"

"But I don't mind resealing you here!"

However, Shimizu Mio, enraged, would not stop so easily. The flames grew stronger, and her intense aura pressed down relentlessly.

They seemed determined to achieve their goal no matter what.

"Wait, sister!"

"Please listen to me at least a little."

"The war is over. Everyone survived, and Chaoyang is unharmed and no longer needs to fight."

Flames transformed into blades, enveloping the two. Shimizu Mio gave Susanoo no chance to speak, and was about to attack. Susanoo, seeing this, panicked and shouted, "Wait, sister! I know I was wrong this time. I'm willing to be punished! I'll exchange a thousand years for a chance to speak!"

The attack stopped, the sharp flaming blade ceased, and Shimizu Mio narrowed her eyes. She looked at her younger brother, who had traded a thousand years of his life for a chance to speak, and after a brief silence, she finally lowered her hand.

"This is the first and the last time!"

Upon hearing the cold voice, Susanoo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then rubbed his face and said, "This is enough."

"Then, sister, let me tell you about the plan this time."

"Yamata and I decided on this plan half a month ago. Originally, Yamata planned to use a different method to break the seal, make you think that He was dead, and then wait for the right opportunity to act carefully."

"But after learning the truth from that little Ibuki, He changed his mind, and I took the opportunity to come here from Izumo and persuaded Him not to be an enemy of my sister anymore."

“I know that this grudge that has lasted for thousands of years will not end easily, but no matter what, Yamata still cares about my feelings, so he has decided not to really start a war, nor to harm Asahi’s life.”

"But... well, you know, Hachimata definitely won't accept such a simple peace talk. Besides, that little brat Asahi stole his daughter, so it's only right that he teaches that little brat a lesson."

"So, we devised this plan."

“I will hold my sister back, while Hachimata will go and teach Asahi a lesson. Once the plan is complete, we will stop the war.”

Susanoo explained his thoughts and plans in detail, but of course, he also hid one thing: they were worried that if they spoke directly, Shimizu Mio would not agree to let Hachimata come out.

The last conversation between Shimizu Mio and Yamata demonstrated their antagonism. Even though Yamata is no longer fighting to the death, their grudges are not completely over, and Shimizu Mio could very well prevent Yamata from coming out.

However, it turned out that their overthinking was useful, because, given Shimizu Mio's personality, she really might not have allowed Yamata to break free of his seal.

"Of course, none of the people below died. Those Genji who participated in the battle all had the power of Yamata within them and were controlled by Yamata. During the battle, He deliberately held back a trick, so those who fell were only injured, not killed."

"..."

Mio Shimizu's icy expression gradually softened, but she did not completely relax.

"If that's the case, then why did you attack Chaoyang!"

"There's no other way. As you can see, if I don't take action, that kid Asahi will ruin Yamata's plan and keep Yamata sealed away."

“Yamata is arrogant and has a habit of looking down on people, so I’ve been keeping an eye on him to prevent any accidents from happening.”

"But this time... that little guy is really too powerful. Even though Hachimata has tried his best to suppress him, he still managed to get this far."

"This is truly beyond my expectations."

Susanoo spread his palms, looking as if he had no other choice but to act.

His explanation was reasonable, and after a long silence, Shimizu Mio accepted it.

The girl's expression finally relaxed.

However, she did not endorse and accept it because the reason was justifiable. The only reason she admitted was her admiration for Shimizu Asahi.

"That's only natural, Chaoyang is my younger brother!"

"Although I'm very unhappy, let's leave it at that for now."

A natural sense of pride shone on her face as Shimizu Mio proudly held her head high.

Seeing that his sister accepted the reason and stopped pestering him, Susanoo breathed a long sigh of relief. Sure enough, to deal with his sister now, all he had to do was bring up Asahiro.

Compared to the stubborn and unyielding lord of Takamagahara in the past, Shimizu Mio now has a lot more human touch and people she cares about.

It's just...if only he cared more about his own younger brother.

Feeling deeply wronged about his family position, the martial master sighed resentfully.

Fortunately, he quickly recovered from his initial shock and said with a smile, "Sister, now that things have been settled, let's go downstairs."

"That little guy Chaoyang is probably getting impatient too."

"Ah."

Shimizu Mio did not refuse; she nodded in agreement and then dissipated the enormous flames.

However, before leaving, she reminded Susanoo, "Don't forget the thousand-year seal you mentioned."

P.S.: In Genshin Impact, I am the Fatui Enforcer.

Synopsis: As everyone knows, Gu Cheng is a bartender who was later promoted to Favonius Knight.

He is also Ningguang's most trusted retainer.

But little is known that his true identity is the twelfth of the 11 executive officers of the Winter Fools, codenamed 'Hero'.

From initial obscurity to illustrious fame upon retiring from public life.

The bards of various countries sang tales like: He encouraged the wind god to hang himself, and he reneged on his debts when the rock god was broke. He suggested that the thunder god lock down his country, and he directed the ice god to bring disaster to his nation.

...

As versions of the story unfolded, the girl traveling with Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Did you really only see me as a meal ticket at first?"

"Meal tickets?"

Gu Cheng smiled.

He could tell from Yingmei's frustrated look that whatever he said would make her angry.

Chapter 494, Section 497: The Massacre of the Genji

"..."

Susanoo's expression suddenly turned somewhat sorrowful. A thousand-year seal... although it was actually like being confined for a thousand years, it was still a great punishment for him.

If it were before, it would be fine. But after getting married and having children, that lawless martial lord has truly become a god who stands tall and upright. The so-called thousand-year confinement is nothing at all.

But now the situation is different. His only close friend has come out of the seal, so naturally he has to accompany his friend to go crazy. To imprison him for a thousand years under these circumstances... is too tragic.

But there's no way around it; you have to fulfill what you've said, even if you have to crawl on your knees.

The deity could only nod with a bitter expression, indicating that he would accept the punishment.

Only after receiving Susanoo's affirmation did Shimizu Mio withdraw her gaze and turn to leave.

Mio Shimizu vanished from their sight in an instant. Susanoo shook his head helplessly, then looked at Orochi, readjusted his mindset, and laughed, "Alright, let's go too, Yamata."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Hachimata grabbed his arm and said, "Ox-Head, you're not really planning to obey that guy and obediently stay in confinement for a thousand years, are you?"

"You wouldn't have been so easily obedient in the past."

"There's nothing we can do. We're not the same as we were back then, and... it's only been a thousand years, it'll be over soon."

Hearing his friend's caring words, Susanoo's mood immediately improved. He put his arm around His shoulder and replied nonchalantly, "If all else fails, you can come to my Izumo Shrine. Consider it keeping me company during my confinement."

"Hmph, now that I've finally broken free from the seal, how could I possibly go to another place to continue suffering?"

Without hesitation, the evil god directly rejected Susanoo's proposal, however...

"Hmm...of course, if you have any wine, I wouldn't mind visiting you occasionally."

"Haha, yes, of course I have. As long as you come, I can bring out as much wine as you want. By the way, let me show you my daughter and wife. My daughter is just as good as yours."

"Ha, what a joke! Ibuki is the best child! Although I've never seen your child, no matter how outstanding she is, she can't compare to Ibuki!"

"I disagree with that. How could my Mi'er be inferior to that little guy Ibuki?"

"You're still so stubborn, you never admit defeat..."

Accompanied by the long-lost sounds of bickering, the two slowly left the endless void.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side, within the Genji clan.

Qingshui Chaoyang is in a room.

This is the backyard of the Genji clan. Shimizu Asahi doesn't know whose house it is, but he killed Minamoto no Mitsunaka here.
