Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

No matter how hard Fujisaki Hiroto tried, the staff could not advance an inch from Shangguan Yun's chest, which was three centimeters away from him.

Hiroto Fujisaki stared in disbelief; he couldn't even understand how the other person had blocked it.

"Ho ho..."

As he felt Shangguan Yun's hand tightening around him, Fujisaki Hiroto's face turned somewhat purplish-red.

"Is this all you've got?"

Shangguan Yun looked down at the tin staff in front of his chest and reached out his left hand to grasp the tip of the staff.

"what!!!"

A shrill scream rang out, and Nora, who had transformed into a tin staff, felt as if a large hand was gripping his head, and his skull was about to be crushed.

"Chi!"

Fujisaki Hiroto's voice was a little hoarse. He knew that the other party had deliberately not killed him directly, but had given him a chance to speak.

At this point, he had no means to deal with this ridiculously powerful guy in front of him.

In despair, he could only call upon his last straw in his heart.

'Night divination!'

A figure appeared instantly, with a piece of toast in his mouth.

Yato blinked, somewhat bewildered, as if he still didn't understand what had happened.

He just... it seems he was summoned by his father using his real name?

Scanning the surroundings, he saw the blond-haired boy being held by the neck by Shangguan Yun.

"Father...Father?"

Yato exclaimed in shock. Even though his father often changed bodies, he didn't know what form the other person would take.

However, he would not mistake the divine weapon in his hand; it was his father's Chi weapon, and also the Scarlet weapon he had used before.

"What's going on? Shang...Shangguan?!"

Yato then realized that the person holding his father was his employer, Shangguan Yun.

"Yebu, kill him!"

Hearing his father's order, Yato's lips twitched.

Don't you know what level I am?

You're holding the Chi-dragon weapon and people are squeezing you like a chick. If I go up there, wouldn't that be like handing myself over?

Moreover, Yato knew better than Fujisaki Hiroto just how terrifying Shangguan Yun's strength truly was.

This is the great father who didn't even need to exert much effort to destroy Takamagahara!

"Ahem... Well, I was just passing by. We're not acquainted. You must have misheard me."

Seeing Yato suddenly appear and then try to slip away, Shangguan Yun immediately sealed off the space around him without saying a word.

"You know him?"

"I don't know him!"

Hearing Yato's resolute answer, Fujisaki Hiroto almost coughed up blood.

That unfilial son!

He hadn't expected that Yato would know this mysterious boy, but this gave him a glimmer of hope.

"You don't know him, yet you call him Father?"

Shangguan Yun looked at Ye Dou, who was blatantly lying, and made a move to attack him.

"Um... isn't there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Yato quickly raised his hand.

Although he was annoyed with his father and longed to break free from his control, he still remembered that he was born from his father's wishes and had been raised by him for so many years.

Most importantly, if the other party dies, he, as an unremembered nameless god, will likely disappear along with him, and without a shrine, there is no possibility of a successor.

"This guy has been watching this area the whole time, probably trying to create a monster. As a god, you should know what the consequences of that would be, right?"

Shangguan Yun squinted at Yato, then flicked his right hand, throwing Fujisaki Hiroto to the ground.

Since he has already sealed off the space, the other party has no way to escape.

The police surrounding the wine cellar can no longer enter, nor will they notice anything amiss.

Yato remained silent upon hearing this.

He knew why the other party did this, which was why he wanted to break free from their control.

With a casual wave of his hand, Shangguan Yun killed Vodka, Pisco, and the monster behind Gin, who had just been killed by Rize Kamishiro. This made Yato's eyes twitch.

Hiroto Fujisaki, who was thrown to the ground, glanced between Yato and Shangguan Yun, seemingly lost in thought.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Vermouth stood together, watching the scene unfold before them, neither of them uttering a word.

Vermouth was somewhat better off, since she knew quite a bit.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, her worldview was constantly being shattered from beginning to end.

She didn't understand it either, and she didn't dare to say anything.

A brief silence fell over the room.

"Um, boss, I was actually born from my father's wish. If he dies, no one will know my real name, and I will disappear too. Can you bear to see such an excellent employee just disappear like that?"

Although Yato no longer has any feelings for his father and sometimes even wants to kill him with his own hands, he doesn't want to just disappear like that.

What will happen to Hiyori Iki and Yukine if I disappear?

He had promised Hiyori he would help her with her health problems, and he was currently enjoying the time he spent with that group of people.

"Isn't your real name Ye Bu? That's what he called you just now, right? Now I know your real name. With my strength, do you think I would forget it?"

Upon hearing Shangguan Yun's words, Fujisaki Hiroto's pupils contracted, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Yato's expression froze, then his eyes widened.

Yup!

My father just seemed to have called out my real name, and now that he knows Shangguan Yun's strength, how could he possibly forget it?

The other party had even promised to build him a shrine after he finished his work in a month.

What is he afraid of?!

Yato instantly felt relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Father, don't worry, I will erect a special monument for you and come to pay my respects every year. Anyway, you have lived long enough, so you can rest in peace."

He then leaped over the other person and landed behind Shangguan Yun.

The shift in allegiances was seamless.

Chapter Seventy: Shangguan Jun, what are you going to do to Gin's corpse?

Fujisaki Hiroto felt regretful and angry.

He never expected that in his moment of panic he would call out Ye Bu's real name, and he never expected that Ye Bu would show no mercy and betray him completely.

'Looks like I haven't been keeping a close enough eye on this guy. He changed the day Sakura died.'

"Yato! Are you going to betray me and Father?"

Nora's incredulous voice rang out; she refused to believe that Yato, who had grown up with her since childhood and killed alongside her, would truly betray them.

“Fai…”

When Yato heard Nora's question, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he knew that his father and Nora were on the wrong path.

They wanted to overthrow "Heaven," and they killed people indiscriminately, taking countless lives and causing too many disasters.

Even recently, Hiyori was attacked by a masked demon controlled by her father.

The two sides have long been enemies, and there is no room for reconciliation.

He didn't want to see Hiyori and Yukine suffer the same pain as him, and he especially didn't want to see Hiyori suddenly die in front of him.

Therefore, when Shangguan Yun wanted to kill his father and Nora, he felt somewhat reluctant, but also somewhat relieved.

"The gods cannot be wrong; this is what you told me, Father."

Fujisaki Hiroto's eyes had calmed down. Having lived for over a thousand years, he was not actually that afraid of death.

Not to mention that he was someone who had actually died once, and even crawled out of the underworld.

Even if he were killed today, he might still return from the underworld.

But I still felt a little unwilling.

'This world is truly hell... The gods are high above, looking down upon everything.'

From ancient times to the present, the structure of this world has never changed. Life is fragile, and the weak will only continue to suffer.

The loser dies, the winner lives!

Whether it's wild beasts, insects, or even flowers and plants, they all fiercely compete for survival.

However, there were people watching from the sidelines all along.

'This way of life is truly... utterly despicable!'

"You've been watching all along, haven't you?!"

Fujisaki Hiroto's cold gaze fell on Shangguan Yun, whose eyes remained calm.

"Knowing full well that many people are suffering, yet you stand by and watch coldly; having the power to easily eliminate disaster, yet turning a blind eye—you are no different from those guys in the 'sky'!"

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Yun suddenly laughed. Fujisaki Hiroto couldn't discern the meaning behind the smile, but he could sense the mockery.

Shangguan Yun couldn't understand the other person's thought process at all.

When did those who cause disasters become able to stand on moral high ground and criticize others?

"You think this is a case of the survival of the fittest?"

Shangguan Yun said with great interest.

"Isn't that so? In the eyes of you strong people, the weak are not even insects. You can take countless lives with a wave of your hand without caring at all."

Hiroto Fujisaki thought of the village that was destroyed by a natural disaster a thousand years ago, and how he was the only one who survived that catastrophe.

That was also the trigger for his hatred of "Heaven".

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Shangguan Yun's eyes turned cold, as if he had truly become an existence looking down upon all living beings, devoid of any pity.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, standing in the corner, felt as if she were gazing upon a true god.

"This is not a case of the strong preying on the weak; it's about those who are meant to live living and those who are meant to die dying!"

Shangguan Yun's words were quite cryptic, yet they contained a chilling killing intent.

Fujisaki Hiroto felt a chill run down his spine, and with a flick of his wrist, a calligraphy brush appeared.

He waved his hand in the void, and monsters appeared from the void, rushing towards Shangguan Yun, while he prepared to break down the door and escape.

Shangguan Yun found the other party's actions somewhat laughable. If he could escape after Shangguan Yun had murderous intent, then his exceptional title was better given to a dog.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft—"

Before the monsters could even get close to Shangguan Yun, they exploded into countless fragments.

Shangguan Yun reached out and pressed down in the air, and Fujisaki Hiroto's body, who hadn't even turned around, turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Shangguan Yun knew that the other party had the aura of the Yellow Springs, but to think that someone who died at his hands could be resurrected was simply dreaming. Even Izanami wouldn't dare to take him in.

With a light snap of his fingers, a flash of lightning struck, and the dragon-shaped weapon that had fallen to the ground exploded into powder before it could even let out a scream.

At the same time, on Takamagahara, many of the gods who had given Nora names frowned, sensing the death of a divine artifact.

But finding that the divine artifacts around him were all still intact, he didn't pay too much attention, knowing that the one who was likely dead was Nora, who had been given a name by multiple gods.
