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

"..."

No matter how unwilling Himiko was to admit it, with the Sun Wheel Castle, she missed the best opportunity to defeat them, forcing the ants who should have been easily crushed by her to the point of having no choice but to negotiate.

"call......"

With a soft exhale, Shimizu Asahi clenched his fists, then walked towards Himiko.

Reiko instinctively tried to stop Shimizu Asahi. She had just said to wait, what are you going up there for?

However, Ibuki stopped her raised hand.

The petite Ghost King did not answer, but simply smiled gently and shook her head to indicate that she should not stop Shimizu Asahi.

"..."

His brows furrowed involuntarily, as if he still had something to say.

However... watching Shimizu Asahi's retreating figure, she ultimately swallowed the words of calling out to him.

But that doesn't mean she just watched quietly.

She tightened her grip on the archer's hand, ready to provide immediate assistance should any problems arise.

Under the watchful eyes of many girls, Shimizu Asahi finally arrived in front of Himiko's enormous body.

"Queen Himiko, may we speak now?"

The sound wasn't loud; it was even questionable whether it would reach Himiko's ears. However, he knew that Himiko would definitely hear it.

And indeed, Himiko, who had been wailing in pain, immediately stopped struggling. She opened her eyes wide and looked over instantly.

"Outsiders!!!"

A gigantic hand was raised high, while a pure white arm, glowing with golden light, pressed down, like a mountain descending from the sky. A terrifying, powerful, and domineering aura that rendered everyone immobile crashed down.

Shimizu Chaoyang's body suddenly felt as if it was about to collapse under the pressure.

"Kill me, and the City of the Sun will be completely destroyed. Is that alright?"

However, a slightly calm voice came from below, and the arm imbued with the power of time stopped in mid-air for a moment.

The menacing look in his eyes changed in an instant, and his enormous fingers began to tremble.

She wanted to crush the person in front of her, but... his casual words made her freeze in place...

She can't kill him, she absolutely can't kill him!

Once she's killed, this city... the city she's protected for eight hundred years, will vanish into thin air!

Absolutely not allowed! Absolutely not allowed!!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Outsiders!!!"

The palm slammed down, the terrifying force shaking the entire earth. Lingzi, watching from afar, almost couldn't resist the urge to intervene, but in the end, she restrained herself.

Before Himiko stood Shimizu Asahi, perfectly unharmed.

A gigantic hand landed beside him... Chapter 798, Section 801: I also hope someone can stop me.

Himiko ultimately couldn't bring herself to kill Shimizu Asahi. No matter how much she hated him, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Now, she is backed into a corner, while Shimizu Asahi has taken the initiative.

Given the unequal status and the need to protect what she needed, she had neither the reason nor the strength to refuse.

"..."

In the silence, Himiko's enormous body slowly shrank, and after a while, she returned to her normal size.

In addition, the wounds that Shimizu Asahi and the other three had torn open together had also disappeared.

I don't know if it's hidden or what, but it disappeared like a speck of light.

It seems that growing to enormous size really does consume a lot of divine power...

In fact, if Himiko hadn't maintained her enormous size and had simply used her divine power to fight them, they probably wouldn't have been able to force Himiko to this point, right?

Putting everything else aside, the sheer surge of divine power alone was enough to keep them from getting close.

However... there are advantages to becoming bigger. At least in terms of pure defense, if Shimizu Asahi hadn't made the right bet, Himiko wouldn't have been able to harm a single hair on her head even if she stood there without moving.

It can only be said that Himiko was unlucky. Their only weakness was discovered, and because of the constraints imposed by the City of the Sun, she dared not make a decision to use her time power on them immediately.

To some extent, Shimizu Asahi and his group were able to take the initiative because of Himiko.

"What are you trying to say... outsider!"

Her gaze remained ferocious and terrifying; Himiko's eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.

However, just as he had guessed, communication was possible... Even the insane and terrifying Queen Himiko had to stop and negotiate with him.

"Let's talk about this City of the Sun."

Shimizu Asahi chuckled softly. He casually sat down on the ground, raised his head, and said, "I already know about what happened eight hundred years ago from Takiyasha-hime. I know about the lament of the Sun Wheel City, the sudden natural disaster, and why the Queen became like this."

"I understand why the Queen did this..."

"Although I would like to say this, I'm sorry, I have never experienced such pain, so I cannot easily say that I can understand it."

"However... if I encountered such a thing, I'm not sure if I would be as crazy as you, Queen."

Himiko was taken aback by the conversation, which sounded like a chat with an old friend. She looked at Shimizu Asahi with a look of surprise in her dark eyes.

This guy who wants me to unlock the City of the Sun, how could he say something like that?

No... was I lying to her?

If he truly had that kind of awareness, how could he possibly come back to stop her!

However... there's not a single sign of deception.

In Qing Shui Chao Yang's eyes, it was taken for granted and certain.

If he encountered a situation like hers, he would go insane, even more insane than himself.

"If that's really the case, why did you stop me?!"

This situation caused Himiko's anger, which she had just managed to calm down, to flare up again.

Why would someone who understands and helps her do this?

"Because what you did was wrong."

The words came out without hesitation.

The boy smiled quietly.

"I understand the reasons for doing this, and I can't help but do it."

"But whether you can't control yourself from doing it or whether it's the right thing to do is irrelevant."

The soft words reached Himiko's ears, and the queen of the Sun Wheel Castle involuntarily trembled.

That's right, just as Shimizu Asahi said, no matter what her reasons were for choosing this, something wrong is wrong, and it will never change for any other reason.

"What exactly are you trying to say, outsider?!"

His voice was menacing: "Since you don't admit that this is right, then why are you saying all this?!"

“I just… want to get this back on track.”

The boy gently raised his head, his dark pupils reflecting the queen's figure.

The words, soft and gentle like a spring breeze, drifted softly around the two of them.

This world is full of imperfections: separation of life and death, natural disasters and man-made calamities. These are things that humans, monsters, and even gods cannot avoid.

When faced with these sad things, some people accept them with grief and then embrace the future with their tragic past, while others rise up in rebellion because they cannot accept them.

Is the survival of the merfolk in the Sea of ​​Immortality truly the right thing to do?

To take the lives of others in order to achieve one's own immortality, and to sacrifice one's people for the continuation of one's race.

The mermaid king's rebellion and lamentations were nothing more than the tragedy of this fact.

But was the Mermaid King's rebellion justified?

He was merely projecting his own sorrow onto the sorrow of the merfolk from his own perspective.

But what can be done? In Shimizu Asahi's view, neither the past life of the merfolk nor the merfolk king's self-serving actions were the right path.

At this very moment, Himiko felt the same way.

The natural disaster struck suddenly. Her beloved Sun Wheel City, the people she protected, and the people she loved most died before her eyes, one by one. She was powerless to resist, let alone save them. Grief flowed through her heart, and the heart-wrenching sorrow tormented her endlessly.

What did she do wrong? Why did the calamity come to the City of the Sun? And why did it take away everything she cherished?

She did nothing wrong, nor did the City of the Sun, but that's how it happened.

That's the truth, that's the outcome, and she has to accept it.

But... she refused to accept it. Madness, pain, and her own selfishness led her to imprison the souls of the people, seal the time of the City of the Sun, and return everything to the past, so that everyone could live on the most beautiful day.

Is she wrong?

Ah, without a doubt, she was wrong.

Even such a pitiful and pathetic woman, despite trying her best to find flaws, could not deny this fact.

Shimizu Asahi agrees with her reasons and feelings, but he would never agree with her actions.

Even if he himself were in such a situation, he would still react the same way, and he would never agree with it.

"If one day, Reiko, Yoko, Ibuki, Ari, Aonobo, my sister... if one day, they die in front of me, I will do something even crazier than this."

"But even so, I hope that when that day comes, someone will stand up...and stop me." Chapter 813, Section 810: Get Out of Here!

When Himiko found them, they were actually quite strange.

Why would someone like Himiko ask them to handle this matter?

In terms of strength and experience, Himiko was undoubtedly superior to them all. No matter what situation she encountered, she could quickly regroup and find a solution.
