It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 474, "The Month of War," is now available online.
Undoubtedly...

The gods of the Moon Capital accepted that power...

The chaotic essence belonging to the alien gods is permeating this ancient capital, and even every space on the entire surface of the moon.

Because they were being "watched" by a strange deity, the two princesses were able to sense it.

—It's like a gap has opened in the void...

—A continuous stream of powerful alien energy radiated from it…

Ordinary Moon People are completely unaware of this, just like people who are born without certain sensory intuitions and are unable to perceive certain aspects of their environment.

Only Toyohime and Yorihime could clearly feel the magnificent divine power radiating from it.

For a while.

Even the two well-traveled princesses couldn't help but feel uneasy and anxious, finding it difficult to calm down.

One reason is that things happened too suddenly.

The fact that their former support no longer exists is another aspect.

After all, under normal circumstances, no matter what changes they encounter or what threats they face, they shouldn't be so uncertain.

Because of Tsukiyo-sama's existence, he is the undisputed backbone.

Even though the former Sage of the Moon has left, as long as the gods of the Moon Capital remain here, the Moon Capital will never fall.

This is the role of the backbone, like a stabilizing force.

Just by standing there, even without doing anything, that person can calm people's hearts and quickly give them a sense of security.

But...

The situation is now exactly the opposite.

Because the person who let the wolf into the house and took the risk was precisely their backbone.

He is the god of the Moon Capital, shining like the bright moon upon all the people of the Moon. Lord Tsukiyomi, whose kindness I can never repay!
Watatsuki Yorihime: "..."

Watatsuki Toyohime: "..."

This was quite awkward, and both princesses looked completely bewildered.

"In short...in short..."

Princess Toyohime exhaled deeply. "Let's see what Lord Tsukiyomi's plans are first. This isn't necessarily a threat."

"That's all we can do..." Princess Yorihime said with a hint of worry.

The current situation is unclear.

As subjects, they do not need to fight to the death.

While Tsukiyo-sama's behavior was unexpected, it didn't necessarily mean he was surrendering.

Maybe... perhaps...

It's not actually that bad, is it?
The two of them knew that their thoughts at this moment were somewhat ostrich-like, but they were helpless about it.

What else can they do?

rumble--

At that moment, a muffled sound suddenly rang out, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"A moonquake? How could that be?"

Watatsuki Yorihime paused for a moment.

Although the Moon's internal energy is nearly depleted, it still experiences slight stress activity due to celestial gravity and meteorite impacts.

Therefore, moonquakes will still occur.

But that shouldn't have happened here in the Moon Capital!

This pristine land, far removed from the filth of the earth, was a sanctuary established by gods and sages of ancient times…

If it were also affected by lunar earthquakes, wouldn't that be a joke?
So no matter how you look at it, this is not normal!

Something happened!

The two princesses exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, looked toward the Tsukuyomi Temple not far away.

That's the center of the Moon Capital...

They just left there...

Most importantly, there were clearly unusual disturbances occurring there...

"I...I'll go and take another look under the pretext of requesting instructions."

Princess Toyohime quickly made a decision: "—Princess Yorihime, go and calm the people down, don't let them panic too much."

Although it was a very minor earthquake.

There was no earthquake or anything like that.

However, the fact that the moon could feel a noticeable tremor indicates that the gravity system of this pristine lunar land has been significantly impacted and affected.

In addition, there has never been a precedent for this kind of thing in thousands of years, which inevitably makes people panic.

"Okay! You be careful too!"

Watatsuki Yorihime nodded vigorously.

Having just come from the Temple of Tsukuyomi, she wasn't worried about her older sister getting into any trouble for the time being.

Even if we still don't quite understand what Lord Tsukiyomi is trying to do, or what that other god wants, we presume he won't suddenly go crazy.

Princess Yorihime was thinking this—

They quickly left the area and headed outside.

Meanwhile, Watatsuki Toyohime took several deep breaths, as if she were doing some kind of mental preparation for herself, before gritting her teeth and walking towards the temple she had just been to.

She was still a little scared.

After all, even when facing one's own mother, it's hard not to have such feelings.

As some of the oldest deities, as some of the earliest life forms on earth...

The moonlit night revealed that this ancient god was not without emotion.

only……

She didn't invest much of that affection in her children.

Strictly speaking, the three princesses of the Moon Capital are not the offspring of the Moon God, but rather creations created by Him.

Despite being connected by blood, they ultimately lacked the deep affection that blood is thicker than water.

we can even say……

From its very inception, it was created to meet political and ruling needs.

There can be no two suns in the sky, and the capital of the moon has only one sun, so Lord Tsukiyomi is the rightful ruler.

However... a deity cannot always deal with worldly affairs, nor should they always appear in the public eye.

So, to solve this problem, the deity who had always lived deep within the palace created three moon princesses.

But precisely because of this, there's no question of maternal love or affection.

Princess Toyohime couldn't help but sigh as she recalled the execution and exile of Kaguya more than a thousand years ago.

A hint of envy flickered in her eyes.

—It seems that the younger sister has suffered a terrible punishment…

—But in reality, haven't we also escaped this cage...?

Even her master turned against Lord Tsukiyomi for her sake, leaving the Moon Capital and never returning...

I stood once again before the gates of the deep and mysterious Temple of Tsukuyomi.

Feng Ji then gathered her thoughts, pursed her lips, and hesitated, unsure of how to begin the report.

Perhaps it's because her attention is focused on this matter at that moment...

Or perhaps it all happened too secretly...

What Her Highness didn't notice was...

The ground beneath her feet shimmered with a faint silvery-white light, as if metal were deforming.

------

------

The fact that the moon had been secretly switched could not be kept secret for long.

After all, there are only a few days left until the night of the full moon.

On the night of the full moon, the monsters that relied on the power of the full moon naturally noticed the strange presence.

Even if these little karami aren't strong enough, or their level isn't high enough...

no doubt--

This is absolutely a matter that will shake the foundations of the nation... cough cough, the foundations of the village.

The youkai dwelling in the border region personally dragged the Hakurei Shrine Maiden out of the shrine, preparing to take action to resolve the problem.

However, this trip is different because it also includes a magician who has just entered Gensokyo from the outside world—Miss Merry.

As dreamlike as a snowy night...

As delicate and pitiful as a flower...

Its dreamlike beauty is enough to make the other person lose their sense of reality, and sometimes it can even give people the impression of a bewitching enchantress who can seduce men.

This easily arouses people's interest and curiosity.

Unfortunately, the current shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine is a passenger who has lost his dreams, so she shows little interest in this.

Only Kirisame Marisa, who happened to come along and insisted on joining in the fun, showed considerable interest.

In front of the old shrine—

"So, you're a magician?"

A girl dressed in black and white asked curiously.

At the same time, she didn't forget to pat herself on the back, flashing a smug smile as she said, "I'm a magician too, you know. We can exchange ideas sometime..."

"Come on, you're just a guy who only knows how to use magic cannons, can you even be considered a mage...?"

The red and white shrine maiden beside her crossed her arms, her eyes full of disdain, and she didn't hold back in dismantling her.

"Of course, isn't firepower the most important thing about magic?" The little witch in black and white put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and was not ashamed at all. Instead, she confidently stated her theory of magical firepower.

"Where I'm from, someone like me would be called a magician..."

At this moment, Miss Mary's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cheerful expression as bright as a flower blooming in spring:
"However, if we look at it according to the definition of a mage here, it might be considered to fit the criteria."

"Oh, it's the same thing, just different names."

Marisa Kirisame was also all smiles, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons, completely unconcerned about the difference in their professional titles.

She patted Miss Merry's shoulder casually and said enthusiastically, "There are other magicians in Gensokyo, and I know them quite well. I can introduce you to them..."

"Thank you in advance..."

The Flower Magician blinked her eyes playfully and agreed in a lighthearted tone.

"I think it's best not to. It would be better if you went directly to meet those two than through Marisa's introduction..."

The Red and White Shrine Maiden still looked like she just wanted to go back to sleep, but she couldn't help but make a comment.

"Hey, Reimu, what do you mean by this..." The little black and white witch pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I'm just telling the truth. If you go and introduce it, it will only have the opposite effect," the Red and White Shrine Maiden said with her arms crossed and her tone was firm.

you do not say……

He either takes advantage of living in the same Enchanted Forest to frequently harass Alice, or he occasionally goes to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to beg for money, and then casually "borrows" books...

Actually, it's nothing much.

We usually just tease and joke around with each other, which is just a different way to enhance our friendship.

However, it's clear that Marisa's unique reputation is well-known—

Then, through her introduction, I met other people...

This inevitably leads to a somewhat strange effect...

"Tch, don't listen to her... Let's set off now to deal with this anomaly!"

Marisa Kirisame decisively stopped dwelling on this topic that was not in her best interest, and instead took Miss Merry's hand and greeted her warmly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't keep Zi waiting too long..."

This guy……

Reimu Hakurei twitched the corners of her mouth, then sighed.

I don't know what to say about this troublesome black and white mouse. Is it too slow-witted, or too carefree and oblivious?

Judging from Meryl's appearance, you should know!

If we consider that detached, detached observation of the world's laws as the attitude of a calm and wise person, then it's very similar to the one in Eientei. And that shameless Yukari also occasionally displays that feeling…

This is clearly an old monster!
The shrine maiden shook her head and could only hurry after her.

And on the other side——

Miss Merry, casually dealing with Marisa, also failed to notice the environmental information prompts that she had been blocking due to their excessive complexity and frequency.

"Spiritual particle signal detected..."

"War Month is now live..."
