Yousei, of course, can also be called the Astral Realm, as each place has a different name; the Yanhuang's term for it is the Spirit Realm.
It is the boundary between life and undeath.
Yousei.
The entire world's main color palette is composed of gray and white.
Mountains, forests, and rivers are all faint colors.
Meanwhile, inside a small wooden cabin...
A black-haired old man in white martial arts attire sat inside, facing a monk in black robes, his entire body resembling a mummy.
The black-haired old man was the Heretic God, Susanoo of the Storm.
The monk was Tenkai Sojo; though not an Heretic God, his strength was comparable to that of a weaker Heretic God.
A pot was placed between them, and each held a wine cup, leisurely savoring their drinks.
Susanoo, who had been squinting, opened his eyes.
A dark shadow streaked through the air.
He raised his hand, and the kusanagi sword settled firmly into his grip.
Looking at the ama no murakumo, Susanoo said, "Have they arrived?"
"It seems you brought the King with you, but I'm rather looking forward to meeting this fellow who replaced Kusanagi Godou."
"After all, it's truly difficult to meet him."
Susanoo spoke to himself, while Tenkai Sojo remained silent.
After all, he offered no comments.
He was merely a guest, and these karmic ties were best avoided.
At this moment, Susanoo looked at Tenkai Sojo and said, "Sojo, let's go. Let's meet this fellow who replaced Kusanagi Godou."
Tenkai Sojo put down his wine cup, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, if it is Lord Susanoo's wish, this humble monk shall accompany him."
And at this moment...
Abel and his group had landed perfectly and safely.
Everyone looked at the entire gray-and-white place, which resembled an ink wash painting, feeling a little uncomfortable. At the same time, everyone except Abel felt a faint sense of motion sickness.
After all, this was the boundary between life and death.
If it weren't for Abel's Kings blessing, Erica and the others would have felt more than just motion sickness.
They would have felt a real sense of suffocation.
Nathan looked around, then said to Abel, "It seems that broken sword brought us to the Spirit Realm. I wonder what countermeasures Your Excellency the Demon King has."
Abel surveyed his surroundings, his eyes turning cold. "Since we've arrived here, let's explore it. While we're at it, we'll slay the Heretic God who brought us here, and ask the locals where that fellow Sun Wukong is sealed."
"Excellent," Nathan nodded after hearing this.
After all, her main goal was Sun Wukong.
While Abel and Nathan chatted, the others' gazes were fixed on Kiyoura Ena.
After all, that sword was hers.
Being stared at by so many people, Kiyoura Ena felt a bit embarrassed, and at the same time, she cursed Susanoo, wondering what that old man was up to!
After a while, Kiyoura Ena cautiously looked at Abel and said, "My King, I truly didn't know about this."
Kiyoura Ena was afraid that she would be disliked by the King because of this matter.
She had just become a Kings blessing, and if she were cast aside before even the second day, that would be very bad.
Abel smiled, "Don't worry, it's all Susanoo's fault."
After all, in the original work, besides his family, Susanoo was also the mastermind behind Kusanagi Godou's path to becoming a Campione.
Since he wants to see me...
Then he must be prepared to pay the corresponding price.
After all, besides himself, Nathan wasn't so easy to deal with either.
Abel looked around, and Nathan did the same.
This place was indeed suitable as a place of seclusion, but the prerequisite was that you had to have the strength.
Suddenly, Abel and Nathan sensed something.
They looked in one direction.
Only to see a breathtakingly beautiful woman appear.
She wore a vibrant twelve-layered kimono, typical of a Heian period noble princess. Her pupils were a clear glass color, her hair was flaxen, and her skin was smooth and ivory-toned.
Her entire appearance seemed sculpted.
She was truly a woman of peerless beauty.
But the moment she appeared, Erica, Liliana, and Kiyoura Ena immediately drew their swords, shielding Abel behind them.
After all, they didn't know if this person who suddenly appeared in this eerie place was friend or foe.
Different from the others' reactions was Mariya Yuri; her pupils widened slightly.
"God... Divine Ancestor!?"
A so-called Divine Ancestor is one who has fallen from a legendary goddess of water or earth.
Although not an Heretic God...
Some Divine Ancestors could contend with weaker Heretic Gods.
Abel looked at the woman before him, frowning slightly. He had an impression of the person in front of him, but not a strong one.
However, putting that aside, the person before him was indeed a beauty.
Just then, Mariya Yuri stepped forward.
Seeing Mariya Yuri step forward, Erica and the others knew that her eyes could perceive different things.
So they put away their swords.
However, if anything unusual happened, they would not hesitate to draw their swords.
Then she bowed slightly and said, "You must be the founder of the Japanese Hime Miko, and the Princess of the Lapis Lazuli Eyes, the Daughter of the Earth."
"Yes, that's right."
The woman smiled gently, "Rather than Princess of the Lapis Lazuli Eyes, I'd prefer you call me Sita."
The name Sita means 'furrow' or 'cultivated land'.
Since she was a daughter obtained during a ritual to worship the earth, she was named accordingly.
But Sita, the Daughter of the Earth, eventually became 'the goddess who sacrificed herself for the fertility of the earth,' and finally, as in other stories, was burned by fire to prove her purity.
Sita came before Abel.
She bowed slightly, her voice soft: "Campione, I apologize for the offense this time, but welcome to Yousei."
Abel looked at Sita before him and nodded.
Since she already said she apologized for the offense, then... "By my side, I have dragons, demons, vampires, Heretic Gods, Great Knights, Hime Mikos, and so on, but it seems I don't have a Divine Ancestor."
"So, Princess of the Lapis Lazuli Eyes, Sita, Daughter of the Earth, would you like to follow me and become my person? I will take you from Yousei and return you to the human world."
This world is already a hodgepodge.
Campione, Miko who sees, High School DxD, Strike the Blood, and so on.
(Should I go to Jujutsu Kaisen?)
(Damn it, iivv is really disgusting, especially the future version, the descendant arc.)
So some changes are not a problem.
"Hmm?"
Sita was slightly startled, and at the same time, her mind seemed to freeze.
Immediately, her face slowly turned red.
As a Divine Ancestor, what kind of situations hadn't she seen?
But she had never seen a situation like this.
For a maiden who remained pure until her death, when it came to matters of the heart, she was utterly clueless.
So... was this a marriage proposal?
Seeing Sita stunned and silent, Abel raised an eyebrow and repeated, "How about it? Are you willing to become my person?"
Sita nervously twisted the corner of her clothes, her heart pounding like a drum.
She had never imagined that she would be invited so directly by a Campione in this Yousei.
