I don't want to be a heroic spirit

When the Hyaku Monogatari Group was causing chaos in Tokyo, that was also the first time they met Ashiya Doman. The other party had demonstrated extremely outstanding Shikigami skills, sending countless Shikigami to various parts of Tokyo to fight against the monsters of the Hyaku Monogatari Group. If it weren't for Ashiya Doman's help, it would be hard to imagine how much damage the Hyaku Monogatari Group would have caused that time.

Abe Haruaki also noticed the Shikigami of Ashiya Michiman who had protected Nura Rikuo and the others, and angrily questioned Ashiya Michiman from a distance: "In the midst of fighting me, you actually still had the energy to protect others? Just because you have gained a little strength, you dare to become so arrogant!"

"But now I have the upper hand, Qingming."

Ashiya Doman replied with a ferocious smile, "This is the margin of strength that belongs to the strong, just like what you did before when facing this humble monk!"

The deep black light tore through the starry sky, and another round of bombardment fell on the trunk of the fantasy tree. The fantasy tree that was shining with starlight gradually became dim, like an old tree that was about to decay.

Seeing the changes in the Illusion Tree, Abe Haruaki almost gritted his teeth.

He would never accept failure, so he made a crazy decision.

"Descendants of Abe Haruaki's blood! Since you are of no use to me, then give your all to the perfect world I will create!"

A seven-pointed star magic circle appeared in front of Abe Haruaki, and at the same moment, all the Onmyoji from Gomonin felt the changes in their bodies.

Their vitality and spiritual power were rapidly disappearing, and were collected by Abe Haruaki and sent into the Illusion Tree.

"Master... Haruaki! Spare my life!"

"No! I don't want to die!"

Some people wailed and cried, unwilling to accept the coming of death and the betrayal of their ancestors.

However, more of the Onmyoji of Gomonin accepted all of this with pleasure.

"Hahaha! Our Lord needs our strength!"

"This life! This power! To be needed by my Lord, to become a building block of the new world... What an honor!"

In a corner where no one cared, Abe Yoshihei, whose body was almost cut in half, leaned against a tombstone and opened one eye weakly.

"Heart knot, heart knot, blood of Yuro, Tian Hai, Tai Zhong, leech..."

He read out the names of the members of the Gomonin family one after another, including not only the head of the Gomonin family, but also some ordinary members. He even remembered the names of those marginal members that almost no one cared about.

The place where he was staying was the cemetery of the Gomonin family. The tombstones standing beside him all belonged to people from the Gomonin family.

Everyone in Gomonin, whether they were still alive or long dead... he remembered them all.

“Father…”

Squeezing the last bit of strength out of his body, Abe Yoshihei looked up at Abe Haruaki and opened his mouth in confusion.

"Is this kind of world... really what you expected?"

Immediately, Abe Yoshihei's body turned into ashes, and his vitality and spiritual power accumulated from thousands of years of practice all became nutrients for the fantasy tree.

564

Chapter 564 Do you think they are spectators? No, they are here to cut down trees.

“Hehehe…hahahahahahaha!”

Laughter resounded throughout the starry sky.

This time, the one laughing was not Ashiya Doman, but Abe Haruaki.

After turning all the people in Gomonin into nutrients for growth, the Fantasy Tree finally bloomed.

An extremely strong vibration sounded, and at the same time, all the crystals that made up the fantasy tree made friction sounds.

Having devoured most of the spiritual power in the entire island nation's veins and all the Onmyojis in the Gomon Courtyard, the Fantasy Tree is now blooming.

The imaginary sea of ​​stars exploded and bloomed, beginning to cover the surface of the planet like a layer of cloth, replacing the original reality with fantasy.

A roar that completely tramples upon human nature.

As if to recreate the greatness of the Big Bang, the sea of ​​stars began to spread and expand without restriction.

"Look! This is a re-enactment of the creation of the world! A pure white world without a trace of dirt will bear fruit on the branches of this fantasy tree!"

"Bloom! This is the ultimate of my ideal! Now, completely correct this erroneous old world, and grow strong and stretch your branches to guide the new world!"

"This thousand years of prosperity and peace are nothing but a lie. Only under my leadership can this world achieve true peace, order, balance, perfection, and purity!"

The fantasy tree welcomes flowering, welcomes blooming, welcomes full bloom.

Its volume became much larger than before, and the textureless trunk gradually dissolved and turned into a pure white band of light... Countless bands of light extended to every corner of the sea of ​​stars, carrying one dazzling star after another.

Just like the mythical world tree, it connects all worlds and provides vitality to all worlds.

So sacred, so majestic, it is impossible to disobey.

The ominous malice wrapped around the fantasy tree dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like darkness illuminated by the sun. The rotten branches that were already infected with death spots fell off bit by bit, revealing new branches. The pure white light dispelled the breath of death.

The sea of ​​malice of Ashiya Doman...was in turn suppressed by the Illusion Tree.

The Fantasy Tree glowed with crystal light, extending its branches and roots, constantly taking back its territory and driving away the evil spirits that invaded its kingdom.

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Ashiya Doman! Now it's my turn to fight back!"

Abe Haruaki, who had been feeling aggrieved for so long, naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to "beat the dog when it's down". As if he wanted to return the aggrieved feeling he had just suffered tenfold, the fantasy tree behind him suddenly threw out a branch.

The pure branch, like a ribbon condensed from light, turned into an afterimage and hit the dark evil sun that enveloped Ashiya Doman fiercely, causing the dark sun to tremble violently.

Countless evil spirits turned into ashes and dissipated after emitting shrill wails. Ashiya Doman, who was sitting in the center of the black sun, also trembled and showed a distorted expression as if he had suffered some internal injuries.

That expression greatly satisfied Abe Haruaki's sadistic desire and competitive spirit.

"See! Ashiya Doman, this is my ideal, my long-cherished wish, my kingdom of God! Fate is on my side, the world is on my side! Even if you devour the gods of other lands and become a lawless and evil demon, you cannot shake my success!"

The starlight roared and flew. After gaining more abundant energy, the starlight bombardment of the Fantasy Tree was much more powerful than before. Evil shadows were constantly burned to ashes under the blazing light like the sun.

The vengeful spirits wrapped in black smoke and spreading malice were purified amidst unwilling screams. The ominous ocean of endless malicious curses, like the stinking river of blood flowing in the Avici Hell, was burned by the light and heat of the stars. The black sun and the mocking voices filled with malice were fading away, and the galaxy universe expanded its territory, lighting up one dazzling star after another.

It was a very beautiful scene that symbolized hope and beauty. However, Nura Rikuo and the others just couldn't be happy at all.

Although Ashiya Doman doesn't look like a good person from any angle...but Abe Haruaki can be confirmed to be not a good person!

If Ashiya Doman loses, although it would be very unacceptable...but they probably won't be able to do anything by then.

This is not because they look down on themselves. Even if they are stupid, they should be able to see the huge gap in strength at this time.

Now they have no way to deal with Abe Haruaki, and have no means to stop him... There is a reason why Abe Haruaki looks down on them and ignores them again and again, because when the gap in strength is large enough, all strategies and wisdom will become useless.

Some anime have such plots, where a hero possesses both super strength and super intelligence, and the greatest use of that super intelligence is to remind him that it is time to use super strength.

"That Limbo guy...is he going to lose?"

Nura Rikuo seemed to be angry at his opponent for not fighting back, but his fingers were rubbing the handle of Mimi Kirimaru anxiously. "He said such cool lines to himself and stole Abe Haruaki, my opponent. If he dares to lose, I'll show you how I'll deal with him..."

"Hmm, hmm? Hmm... I think I can still save him."

The sudden sound in his ears made Nura Rikuo shudder violently. After he came to his senses, he glared at the Shikigami Ashiya Doman fiercely.

"You're still here!"

"Hoohoo! I'm everywhere."

The Shikigami Ashiya Doman stared at Nura Rikuo, who was patting his chest, with eyes like polished obsidian, and let out a sharp and strange laugh.

Why can someone's laughter sound so much like a villain... This question subconsciously popped up in the minds of everyone present.

If the Shikigami Ashiya Doman could hear their thoughts, he would definitely use his "hehehe" laughter to tell them what kind of laughter a real villain should have.

After the appearance of the Shikigami Ashiya Doman, Hanakaiin Ryuji remained silent, but just stared at the Shikigami Ashiya Doman with a fierce look that could scare an innocent little girl to tears.

Precisely because he is not a good person, he is more sensitive to malice than the average person.

The malice that naturally emanated from the Shikigami Ashiya Doman was as deep as an abyss and as deep as a prison. Even a wicked person like him did not dare to come into contact with him easily, and even felt reluctant to speak to him.

Hanakaiin Hidemoto, who was left with only a soul, stood up at this time, with a fox-like cunning smile that was hard to understand, and bowed to the shikigami Ashiya Doman.

"The thirteenth generation head of the Hanakaiin family, Hanakaiin Hidemoto, and all members of the Hanakaiin family greet the Hanakaiin ancestor, Ashiya Doman."

"Hmm? Hmm... I'm not such a great person."

After staring at Hanakaiin Hidemoto's smile for a long time, the Shikigami Ashiya Doman also revealed an unfathomable smile. "Now I am just an evil heretic, a wandering ghost obsessed with revenge against someone, even abandoning myself. There is no need to be so restrained."

"...Since this is the will of our ancestors, then the descendants naturally have no choice but to obey."

If I were to use one word to describe Hanakaiin Hidemoto's attitude towards the shikigami Ashiya Doman... it would be "flawless."

Looking at Hanakaiin Hidemoto, the Shikigami Ashiya Doman felt that this person was not a descendant of Ashiya Doman but a descendant of the white fox Abe Haruaki... The fox smell was too strong.

And this Hanakaiin Hidemoto also likes to wear white hunting clothes.

Really, the more I look at it, the more it resembles him... This makes the Shikigami Ashiya Doman's fingers tremble, and he has an urge to poke a hole in the other person's chest.

I am a poor monk who can open my heart to Abe Haruaki (funny)

"Ancestor, you have also seen that your true form seems to be at a disadvantage in the battle with Abe Haruaki."

Narrowing his narrow eyes, Hanakaiin Hidemoto pointed to the battlefield overhead. "And... to be honest, we don't have the strength to fight Abe Haruaki right now. If even you fail, even Abe Haruaki, who just made such a scene, can easily crush us all with a single finger... Do you have any good plans?"

"Hmm...it's not really a good strategy."

"So there is a way, right?"

Hanakaiin Hidemoto became extremely excited and happily praised the Shikigami Ashiya Doman, "As expected of our ancestor, you have already prepared a way to break the impasse. You are indeed the most outstanding Onmyoji of a thousand years ago. A mere Abe Haruaki cannot even compare to you."

Shikigami Ashiya Doman frowned slightly, until the other party's last sentence rang out, and his smile immediately brightened.

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Although it sounds a bit glib, I really like what you said in the last sentence!"

The shikigami Ashiya Doman, in a good mood, did not keep the secret any longer and turned to look at Nura Rikuo.

"My solution to this dilemma is you... Nura Rikuo."

When the Shikigami Ashiya Doman said this, Nura Rikuo was actually confused.

"Could it be that... there is some powerful force within me that I don't even know about, which, once awakened, could defeat the current Abe Haruaki? And Mr. Limbo, are you planning to help me unleash this power through training?"

"Do you think you're the protagonist of some hot-blooded manga?"

"that's true……"

Nura Rikuo also felt that his idea was a little unrealistic.

After all, in the current situation, there is really no time for him to practice leisurely, and there is no magical house in this world where one day outside can turn a year inside.

"Really? Why do you think I brought you here?"

The Shikigami Ashiya Doman shrugged helplessly, "Abe Haruaki has already been reserved by this monk. From the beginning, there's no way I'm going to give it to any of you. I didn't bring you here just to be spectators, did I? I'm very good at squeezing every last bit of value out of an object. Naturally, you all have your uses, too."

With a meaningful smile on his face, Ashiya Doman said softly, "I told you from the beginning, didn't I? You are here to cut down trees."

The conversation on the floating island was ongoing, and on the battlefield that seemed to be in another world, the surging energy tide was also surging as the fierce battle continued.

The light of the stars leaps in the shining, and the flames of the stars rush in the roaring.

Just like an imaginary tree formed by spirally intertwined strips of light, the twinkling stars are like artillery batteries, absorbing, accumulating, and compressing exaggerated and unreasonable magic power, turning it into strong light and high-temperature artillery fire and releasing it, and then repeating the operation continuously.

There is no so-called mystery, and there is no need for so-called mystery. It is just a qualitative change caused by quantitative change, it is just numerical beauty, the ultimate beauty brought about by pure violence.

The fantasy tree that bleached, restored, and reshaped the planet, replacing reality with fantasy, the energy contained in it is enough to turn every corner of the planet into scorched earth even if it is simply converted into light and heat.

Of course, that is the most wasteful and disastrous use of resources.

"Ashiya Doman, I admit it, you are the most formidable opponent I, Abe Haruaki, have ever encountered in my life."

As if declaring victory in advance, with the grace of a winner, Abe Haruaki spoke slowly in a calm tone that was completely different from his previous madness.

"Since a thousand years ago, you have been causing me trouble, ruining my plans, and giving me a lot of headaches."

"For thousands of years, your descendants have also been hindering my resurrection plan. They have joined forces with that cunning ghost, delaying my resurrection by hundreds of years."

"A thousand years later, you stand before me once again, just as we once did in front of the palace... And your progress has far surpassed my imagination. If it weren't for fate's blessing, I'm afraid you would have destroyed my ideals... Perhaps I shouldn't have just expelled you, but killed you directly."

"However, I won't make the same mistake a second time. I won't give you another chance to ruin my plan! This day next year will be the anniversary of your death! Ashiya Doman!"

The bombardment of Star Glory continued to evaporate and burn the churning black swamp, and Ashiya Doman's territory was constantly shrinking. This situation seemed quite unfavorable for Ashiya Doman.

However, laughter was heard from the black mud.

Unbridled laughter echoed at the other party's stupidity.

"...What are you laughing at? Is there anything about what I just said that's worth laughing at?"

"Hmm? Hmm? Hmm... Please forgive me, I'm not the kind of idiot who would laugh so hard that he collapses over a mere pair of flowered shorts... But a fool like you who flaunts his stupidity without realizing it, simply makes me laugh my ass off!"

As if to sneer at the whole world, a twisted and hideous smile that no human could possibly possess appeared on Ashiya Doman's face. "You are so diligent in playing the role of a ridiculous clown! I feel a little sorry for you!"

"What did you say?"
