My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"There's no place for you here anymore."

The ghost lion said as a matter of course, not noticing anything unusual.

"This place has become my stage, get out of here!"

"How could it possibly disappear? The soul of a fool who lives uprightly..."

Sakata Gintoki's tone remained indifferent.

"Even if the body is destroyed, it will not disappear."

"……oh?"

Hearing this, the Ghost Lion put his iron rod on his shoulder and showed great interest.

"Then I will destroy that so-called soul right now!"

Halfway through his words, the demon lion suddenly raised the iron rod, took a few steps forward, and smashed it hard at Gintoki, and Gintoki almost drew out his wooden sword at the same time and rushed forward to meet the attack.

Bang!

The wooden sword "Toyako" collided with the huge iron rod wielded by the demon lion, and then missed each other. Gintoki also passed by the demon lion. Then, accompanied by two crisp cracking sounds, the horns of the red demon mask worn by Gintoki and the horns on the demon lion's forehead broke at the same time.

Enduring the pain of the broken horn, the pride of the Dakini clan, the demon lion suddenly took out a dagger with his other hand and stabbed it fiercely into the demon mask of Gintoki who passed by him.

All that was pierced was a mask.

Gintoki, who had already taken off the demon mask, revealed a terrifyingly dangerous smile, and then suddenly swung the Toyako in his hand. The wooden sword drew a beautiful arc and hit the demon lion's wrist hard.

The very obvious "crack" sound indicated that one of Onishishi's wrists had been broken by Sakata Gintoki's attack.

"Ah."

Seeing this scene, the big man wearing a bamboo hat who was still standing on the high platform, one of the "Tian Dao Zhong", sneered.

"That's it."

The pain on his forehead and wrist made the Demon Lion howl like a wild beast. He swung the iron rod with strength far beyond that of a human and swept it towards Gintoki from the side.

Bang! ! !

The iron rod hit Gintoki's left rib, and Gintoki couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood due to the sudden impact of such a huge force.

Considering the Dakini clan's strength that far exceeds that of humans, Gintoki, who took this blow head-on, must have had his internal organs shattered and was on the verge of death.

Watching this scene, one of the "Tian Dao Clan" commented lightly.

"As far as humans are concerned, we've done pretty well."

"Ha ha……"

However, at this moment, the silver-haired man with natural curly hair, who was originally judged to be about to die, sneered and raised his head.

The lazy look in his eyes, which had always shown no motivation, now contained a terrifying edge as sharp as a sword.

Lake Toya blocked Gintoki's ribs and Onishishi's iron rod, absorbing most of Onishishi's force for Gintoki.

"Hey, big guy, if it's just this level, my soul won't be broken!"

“…That, that look?!”

Seeing this scene, the "Tian Dao Zhong" suddenly opened their eyes wide, their tone was extremely shocked, and they suddenly spoke out in admiration.

"...That's the look of a true samurai!"

With a backhand swing from Gintoki, Lake Toya instantly knocked the still shocked Demon Lion away, and it fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing the seemingly invincible Demon Lion being defeated by Gintoki, the audience sitting in the audience were silent for a while, and then burst into earth-shaking cheers of excitement.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"whispering sound……"

Gintoki glanced at the fallen demon lion, straightened up, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. At this moment, the supervisor of Purgatory Pass had already surrounded him with a group of celestial mercenaries and human villains.

"Asshole, what have you done to disrupt our fun?"

The director of Purgatory Gate also glanced at the fallen ghost lion, his expression became extremely ugly, and he shouted loudly.

"Do you know where this place is?! Who the hell are you, you bastard?!"

Before Gintoki could answer, the sudden burst of gunfire and incoming bullets caused the villains to fall into great chaos.

As the gunshots rang out, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura jumped from the audience seats into the fighting arena, stood with Sakata Gintoki, and shouted in unison.

"Wangshiwuwu, come on!"×3

On the other side, in the audience seats in the distance.

Gently moving his wrist, the young man with gray hair glanced at the three people from the Yorozuya who were already in a stalemate with the Celestial Mercenaries who were maintaining order in Purgatory Pass and the human villains, and contacted a girl.

"Shana, have you identified all the people who maintain this underground fighting arena, 'Purgatory Gate'?"

"Of course it's been done."

Miss Shana's proud tone rang in Shang Yang's ears.

"I have locked down the causal coordinates of all the scum working for Purgatory. Don't worry, I won't let any of them slip through the net."

After Shana finished speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was with Shana, murmured in dissatisfaction.

"If you ask me, the most thorough way would be to completely destroy this underground fighting arena with one strike."

"Princess, you are right."

Hearing Kaguya's complaints, Shang Yang gently advised.

"However, what we need is to destroy the system that keeps Purgatory Pass running again. Therefore, the promoters responsible for contacting shogunate officials and luring them to Purgatory Pass to watch this bloody fight, as well as the others who don't act as thugs but work for this place, will be left to you."

At this time, the backstage of Purgatory Pass is where the 'staff' who maintain the daily operation of Purgatory Pass are located.

"no problem."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Shana nodded and agreed seriously.

"Don't worry, we will take care of it."

"Well, since my husband has asked me to do this, I will do it."

Next to her, Kaguya, with her arms folded across her chest, nodded seriously, her beautiful eyes shining brightly with joy.

"Although I am only a delicate and weak woman, I will try my best for the sake of my husband's praise, even though I am afraid of seeing blood splattered everywhere."

After making a willful joke, Kaguya no longer paid attention to Shang Yang's complaint, "Hey, who are you, weak girl?!" The Princess of the Bamboo Cutter stood up, left the wall she was leaning on, narrowed her beautiful eyes, looked at the group of panicked humans and celestial beings in front of her, and asked questions with interest.

"So, Shana, what do you say about the current situation?"

After hearing Kaguya's words, Shana, who had just finished talking with Shang Yang, casually drew the Heavenly Fire Sword from her waist, sighed softly, and made a soft suggestion.

"The gods belong to me, and the human race belongs to you?"

"Yeah, I agree."

Volume 4 Edo Chronicles: Chapter 200 Do you want to try dying once?

After finishing his conversation with Shana and Kaguya, Shang Yang turned his head and spoke to Jue Pingting, who was sitting next to him and watching the fighting in the arena with great interest.

"Then, Jue, I'll leave this to you."

"Well, to intercept panicked rats trying to escape from the tunnel into the sunlight, right?"

Hearing this, Jue nodded, glanced at the several underground passages leading to the ground behind him, and waved his hand indifferently.

"Don't worry, not a single mouse will escape from this nest."

"That's good."

Hearing Jue's answer, Shang Yang nodded slightly, stood up, and looked at the fighting arena. The three people from the Yorozuya were arguing over this month's wages while resisting the siege of countless enemies.

The young man reached out and held the soft hand of the girl with long black hair who was also sitting next to him.

"Love, we're over it too."

The girl with long black hair let her lover hold her hand naturally, nodded gently, and her black hair swayed slightly.

"Ah."

In the fighting arena.

"I don't care if you lose your life!"

Gintoki swung his wooden sword to knock down the attacking Amanto mercenary and complained to Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura.

"You actually followed me to a place like this."

"I haven't received my salary for this month yet."

After dodging the incoming long sword and knocking down the attacker with one blow, Shimura Shinpachi answered loudly in anger.

"How could he die?!"

"It's not just this month I didn't get it!"

Kagura also excitedly retorted, using the same long umbrella to send the enemy flying.

"I didn't get it last month!"

Gintoki retorted with the same anger as he killed another enemy with a single slash.

"You guys didn't have any work at all last month, okay?!"

"Then I can get it this month, right?!"

As the conversation over wages continued, more and more Celestial mercenaries and human villains were killed by the Yorozuya trio. However, more and more enemies continued to surge up than the enemies they knocked down.

"Tsk, there's no end to this."

After killing a strange-looking celestial being who attacked him with a strange weapon with another diagonal slash, Gintoki complained dissatisfiedly.

Then, Gintoki glanced at some of the Celestial Mercenaries with obviously different auras mixed in with the attacking enemies. A familiar feeling of disgust made Hakuyasha, who had fought in the battlefields of the Anti-Immortal War, frown.

"Also, troublesome guys showed up."

From the calm eyes of some newly appeared celestial beings, Gintoki could clearly see the indifference of these celestial mercenaries to life, whether it was towards their enemies or themselves.

The aura emitted by these celestial mercenaries is also a smell that Sakata Gintoki is extremely familiar with.

That was the bloody smell that was extremely common on the battlefield.

Among the attacking enemies were mercenaries who frequently roamed the bloody battlefield.

"Hahaha, recently on the ground, there have been some unusual movements in the shogunate of you earth monkeys."

After seeing his elite mercenaries entangle these three unknown guys, the Tianren supervisor of Purgatory Pass couldn't help but laugh wildly.

"That's why we spent a fortune hiring the Celestial Mercenaries who returned from the alien battlefield. What do you think, Earth monkeys, now you know how powerful we Celestial Mercenaries are, right?!"

"Unfortunately, the Night Rabbits, with their population drastically declining, simply don't have any extra mercenaries for us to hire. The salaries for the regular mercenary units of the Chenluo and Dakini tribes are simply too high, and the Lotus Clan is so elusive in the universe that it's difficult to find them. Otherwise, we could let you Earth monkeys witness the terror of the cosmic mercenary race!"

"Oh? The Celestial Mercenaries..."

Just as the head of the Purgatory Gate, Tianren, finished his arrogant speech, accompanied by the sound of a sword being unsheathed, Okita Sougo placed his samurai sword on the head of Tianren's neck and spoke calmly.

"You've truly done something truly extraordinary. Not only have you opened an illegal underground fighting arena, violating the shogunate's ban, but you've also infiltrated Edo, a vital port on the space route, with your own dangerous private armed forces."

"This is a serious crime punishable by public beheading."

"Oh?! Mr. Okita!"

After forcing another enemy back with one sword, Shinpachi Shimura saw that the enemy leader had been controlled by Sougo Okita, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very good……"

"You, you bastards, do you think you can get away with it so easily after doing something like this?!"

With a sharp samurai sword held against his neck by the captain of the Shinsengumi's First Division, Director Tianren threatened in fear.

"Do you know who is behind this hell..."

"Who knows? It's totally unimaginable."

Hearing this, Okita Sougo didn't care and his tone remained calm.

"But what does it matter? Quick, order your men to retreat, or your head will fall off your neck."

"Oh?! You're quite capable, you bastard!"
