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

If this matter hadn't been connected to Shimizu Asahi, why would Amaterasu have come to this Land of the Dead to question her?

It's ridiculous.

Here, in this world, she is undoubtedly the strongest!

Moreover, she has been keeping her promise to this day.

A thousand people die every day. The accumulated deaths from ancient times to the present have killed tens of millions of people. Does a mere city and a few thousand people have the right to make her apologize?

Arrogant! Overconfident!

At this moment, Izanami labeled Shimizu Asahi.

In an era where everyone believed that gods had the right to control life and death, and that even anger could not be expressed, Izanami was a god above all other gods, a god among gods.

If she wants a god to die, no god can resist and can only obediently await death.

But this time, Shimizu Asahi's words were tantamount to telling the gods, "You are wrong."

A human being said to their ancestor, the mother goddess who reigned above all the gods, 'You are wrong.'

How arrogant and conceited! Such a person is beyond even being described by the words "arrogant and conceited"!

That's so arrogant it's laughable!

"The will of humanity... You actually care about the will of humanity? You've regressed too, Amaterasu!"

"You used to resemble me somewhat, but now you've changed!"

The gods are high above and do not understand compassion.

Today, Izanami embodies this statement perfectly.

This is the deity, a deity who occupies a high position and regards all living beings as ants!

"The will of Chaoyang is my will. I don't care what others think; I only care what Chaoyang thinks!"

"If he wants to do that, then I'll help him achieve his goal!"

Even if I'm her target?

"..."

Following Izanami's words, Shimizu Mio fell silent.

The fact that she came here with Shimizu Asahi already proves that she is on Shimizu Asahi's side. However, being on Shimizu Asahi's side is one thing, but saying it in front of her mother is another.

If it were the old Shimizu Mio, she would definitely have expressed it directly without hesitation.

Even if you were my mom, if my brother wanted you to apologize, I would definitely help him make you apologize.

The former Shimizu Mio was indeed an arrogant god; so-called kinship meant nothing in the face of her own power.

But now, she can't say it like she used to.

She was indeed changed a lot by Shimizu Asahi...

"Hmph, you have the guts to come here, but not the guts to admit it!"

"Hmph, you're utterly useless!"

A wisp of mist escaped from the goddess's mouth. She said nothing more, but asked with a cold smile, "So, you intend to do this yourself?"

"Because he knows I would never listen to a human, he plans to find an opportunity to talk to me himself and ask me to apologize to his face."

"Even though I don't know what your plans are, or why I think you will succeed."

"But I must say, you are too arrogant, Amaterasu!"

"I will never apologize to so-called humans. If you really want me to apologize, let that guy get it from me himself!"

At this point, Izanami paused slightly, and then, as if she had thought of something interesting, she suddenly smiled.

"Hehehe, things seem to be getting interesting."

"Amaterasu, if you want my apology, you must first get my acknowledgment. So, can we do both at the same time?"

"!?"

Shimizu Mio was startled by her mother's words. One thing after another had already made her somewhat worried and uneasy, and now these two things were combined into one... Could Asahi really handle it without Aonofusa's help?

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but Izanami rejected her directly.

"I've already made up my mind about this, and it won't change your mind even if you deny it."

"The one who makes the decision, and the one who decides whether to accept it, is me and that human being, not you!"

"Alright, I'm tired. Let's take that human with us."

"I don't want to wake up the next day to find a man resting in my palace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman waved her hand, not giving Shimizu Mio a chance to speak at all. In fact, even if Shimizu Mio wanted to speak, the tyrannical divine force pushed her directly to the front door.

Seeing her mother's reluctance to speak, Shimizu Mio opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she could only turn away in dissatisfaction.

She opened the door and went out, then slammed it shut, seemingly venting her frustration in this way.

Then, before Shimizu Asahi could say anything, she reached out and grabbed him, then turned and left.

Before long, they left the Yellow Springs Palace and arrived in the city below, where they randomly found an inn.

Although she didn't know why a country like the underworld would need an inn, Shimizu Asahi blinked and decided that it wasn't worth worrying about, so she quickly stopped thinking about it.

Compared to all of these, my older sister's problem is more important.

"Alright, sister, let's talk this out. Why are you so angry?"

He sat down next to his older sister and Shimizu Asahi smiled and comforted him with these words.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen his older sister run out so angrily.

Although he had gotten angry before when he did something wrong, this was the first time he had ever seen him throw a tantrum like a little girl.

"I don't want to be angry either; I've tried my best to control my temper, but she..."

She opened her mouth, and the girl repeated Izanami's words with a displeased expression.

That domineering and absolute attitude—if it were the old me, Izanami would definitely have argued with her.

However, even though she managed to suppress it, she was still extremely dissatisfied. Chapter 837, Part 835: Here, the game begins.

"So that's what it is..."

After hearing what Shimizu Mio said, Shimizu Asahi immediately smiled.

"Since Lady Izanami wants to take the test, then let her take it. I never thought I could finish this easily."

Izanami is, after all, a supreme goddess. She may have human emotions and desires, and may do many things like humans because of them, but in any case, her thoughts are absolutely different from those of humans.

What he considered inappropriate, she took for granted. Therefore, this trip was by no means an easy one to overcome.

As for his older sister standing up for him, that was something he had already considered, but as he just said, this matter would not end so easily.

Therefore, she definitely wouldn't get her sister's help.

He's not that naive.

“But Chaoyang, two tests at once is too difficult for you, and... you also saw your mother's attitude; she hates men even more than we imagined.”

"I'm worried she's deliberately setting a test that you absolutely cannot pass..."

Having never seen her mother treat men before, Shimizu Mio realized for the first time how despicable men were in her eyes, and that even the people she brought with her would be treated this way.

Judging from this situation, his mother might present him with a test that Qing Shui Chao Yang could never possibly overcome.

If that's the case, then they...

However, as soon as she said this, Shimizu Asahi laughed.

"If that's the case, then we've won this test. Going back like this will allow me to give an explanation to Lady Himiko and Princess Takiyasha."

"Huh? Why?"

Shimizu Mio immediately expressed her confusion.

"Because of face."

A smile played on the corners of his lips as the boy briefly explained the situation.

If Izanami tested his abilities and he failed, then without a doubt, it was his fault.

Because he lacks the ability.

However, if Izanami presents him with a difficulty that he cannot overcome no matter what, it means that she thinks ordinary tests are not enough for him, and that she is doing this to save face.

Whether or not this is true, people will at least believe it.

Such belief will turn into ridicule and contempt for Izanami.

Even if they don't say it out loud, they'll definitely think that way in their hearts.

In this way, Himiko and the others can be considered to have avenged themselves.

To subject a god to such humiliation, to the status of a god who 'cannot defeat humanity,' such a price is enough.

"I see... What if Mother doesn't care at all?"

"That's true. Izanami might not care, but such a price cannot be resolved simply by Izanami-sama not caring."

The boy smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"As long as we are willing to believe, and other gods say so, that is enough."

"When one kind of 'truth' is accepted by the public, another kind of 'truth' becomes 'false'."

In other words, it's about turning black into white.

"..."

Hearing her younger brother's words, Shimizu Mio was momentarily stunned.

It was as if she was seeing her younger brother for the first time. She never expected that the tactics used by politicians would be used by her own brother.

"Well, although I personally find this kind of thing rather resistant, there's nothing I can do. I can't have an equal conversation with Lady Izanami, nor can I get her to think about human issues from a human perspective."

"So, this is the only method I can use."
