Lumine: "Is this the joy of being carried by a Big Shot?"
Just the descent of a thought was enough to change heaven and earth, to reshape the cosmos!
Female protagonist in crossover anime: "It seems Hermes's progress is even more astonishing than I imagined!"
The outrageousness of the Genius Society members exceeded Lumine's imagination.
Even though the Chat Group hadn't yet enabled functions like [Enhance], [Quest], [Teleport], [Forge]—a series of features that could directly boost strength—Lumine always felt that for Hermes, the improvement in his strength was completely unaffected.
Simply outrageous!
Warring States Miko: "Yes, Lord Hermes, this world will ultimately transform into the golden age of your ideals!"
Warring States Miko: "Your will is also my wish!"
In his divine descent state, Hermes did not, like other deities, mask the senses of his host, but maintained a resonant state of almost perfect unity.
Therefore, when Hermes spoke, Kikyo almost perfectly understood and received all the logic and concepts he expressed!
Does such a world of pure beauty truly exist?
Yes.
Kikyo felt that the world's foundation was moving according to Lord Hermes's will, and she had no doubt that this was indeed the future of the world!
...In the Western Country, the dog demon clan led by General Touou and the leopard cat clan led by Leopard Cat Lord Chinkata were constantly engaged in fierce combat.
Both of these major clans had tens of thousands of their main tribes, and more than ten times that number in affiliated groups.
The two major factions had been engaged in a full-scale war for a long time, vying for dominance over the Western Country.
Under the war of these two major factions, the demonic energy in the Western Country had almost dyed the entire sky a dark, inky black.
An ominous and enchanting red even stained the moonlight!
Chinkata roared, shattering the blood-red firmament, while Touou's single "Wind Scar" attack cleaved through mountains.
This was a life-and-death battle between two giants nearing the level of Demon Kings!
As long as one could personally defeat the opponent, completely occupy the Western Country, and gather the vast amount of destiny, the victor would have the chance to completely transform and become another peak Demon King giant ruling over heaven and earth!
Just as both sides were fighting with bloodshot eyes, golden auspicious clouds swept across the sky, dispelling the ominous red and black.
That immeasurable divine power announced its existence to the entire world—
Above heaven and below earth, I alone am supreme!
"This is... a god!"
Touou looked up in shock; that ancient and sacred aura, even just a trace, made him instinctively tremble.
Like an ant gazing up at the sky.
Leopard Cat Lord Chinkata was even worse; he merely had a thought of resistance.
The next moment.
His demonic power fell silent, his eyes shattered, as if he had seen some incredible, great existence... In the Eastern Region.
The moonlight was like water, illuminating the bustling courtyard of the Nura Clan headquarters.
Cherry branches drooped, a bright mirror hung high.
Demonic energy and light intertwined into a hazy mist.
Nura Rikuo, with his eyes hazy from drink, swept a glance over the reveling yokai in the garden, a lazy curve forming on his lips.
Nura Rikuo was originally born as a Nurarihyon, a wandering yokai. His uninhibited nature meant he should have been a wanderer, free to roam the world.
Unfortunately, the tide of the era swept in. Everywhere he looked was war, and even his good friends, with whom he had just shared drinks and kindred spirits, were caught in the war the next moment and died tragically.
There was no other way.
Nura Rikuo, the wanderer, could only step forward to protect one side.
And then.
He now became the co-ruler of the Eastern yokai, clashing with the Nue of Kyoto.
And constantly colliding with the reincarnated Hagoromo Gitsune... Just as Nura Rikuo was lost in thought, a heart-pounding sensation arose spontaneously.
In the ethereal, a pair of eyes, as if containing the sun, moon, and cosmos, gazed quietly at him.
The next moment.
Stars shifted, the night instantly turned to day... Eientei.
"Although this land isn't as defiled as the Moon Capital people claim, the yokai filling the mountains, rivers, and lakes are extremely troublesome."
The Moon Princess's voice, as clear and cold as the moon, revealed a hint of helplessness.
Kaguya Houraisan knelt on the side facing the courtyard, her long, black hair, like a waterfall, draped behind her. Even when showing a slightly annoyed expression, her peerless elegance naturally shone through.
In this world, although the legend of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter also appeared, the one who adopted her here was an incarnation of Eirin Yagokoro.
Otherwise.
In this chaotic era of yokai, it would be quite bothersome for her adoptive parents to encounter yokai every few days.
"That is an unavoidable matter, Princess."
Eirin Yagokoro softly responded to her princess, then brewed her a cup of tea, fragrant with herbs and resembling clear amber.
"The gods of Takamagahara have either fallen or been severely wounded, no longer able to bear the great fortune of the era."
The Moon Sage's gaze was calm, showing no concern, despite being a famous great god in the previous era: "Now, the yokai have divided the great fortune of this era. They only await the appearance of a peerless Demon Emperor to suppress the four seas and eight wildernesses, establish their own order, gather the era's destiny, and enable the yokai to become the protagonists of this era."
"It's just a bit noisy now; in a while, it will probably escalate to bloodshed across the land."
"Eirin, do you think there might be dormant gods emerging, attempting to snatch the era's great fortune, like snatching chestnuts from the fire, in this era?"
Kaguya Houraisan looked with some annoyance beyond the bamboo forest, where another clash of yokai was occurring, then thought for a moment and asked: "Even if the gods' powers are greatly diminished, surely some unwilling gods would emerge, right?"
"Such gods do exist, of course."
Eirin Yagokoro affirmed her princess's guess, then said with some regret: "But unfortunately, they have missed their opportunity. If it were at the beginning of the era, before the rise of the yokai, there might have been a slim chance, but now..."
"Those peak Demon Kings have never relaxed their vigilance against gods. They are systematically clearing the remnants of gods on the surface, such as the renowned Great Miko, Kikyo, who is currently facing the subtle probing of these Demon Kings..."
"Her fate will probably not be too good either."
"Is that so...?"
Kaguya Houraisan fell silent for a moment, her voice, clear as a mountain stream, carrying a hint of regret.
She had also met this Great Miko once; she was like a bellflower in the rain, lonely and noble.
If she had been born in the previous era, she would surely have received the favor of the gods, and it would not have been impossible for her to ascend to godhood from humanity, like Eirin Yagokoro.
Just then, a vast and mighty divine power, cleansing heaven and earth, swept across the entire human realm.
What followed was the golden auspicious cloud, which directly swept away all the rampant demonic energy and evil spirits between heaven and earth!
