Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"The hidden world and the other world, the will of the present world can only control one-third of the material world."

“I’m asking it for a small piece of land,” Miketsu suggested. “If you accept this favor and help it maintain the balance of this place, the will of the world has no reason not to agree.”

“I am a human being of this world,” Gu Yun said. “It is only natural for me to protect my own world.”

Otherwise, if any cataclysmic disaster were to occur in the world, Gu Yun himself would be the one most affected.

"However, the War God of the Twelve Heavens who protects the human world may come looking for you at that time."

"I've always heard about the Twelve Days," Gu Yun asked, "Are they really that powerful? Even Miketsu is wary of them?"

"Well..."

"I've never met her, so I'm not sure about her strength."

Miketsu said, "But that Twelve Heavenly Guardians who protect the Pure World are indeed very powerful."

"Even now, I'm not necessarily his match."

According to Miketsu, the Twelve Heavens and the World Will are actually in cahoots.

The world's will is like a civil official, while the twelve heavens are like military generals.

The former governs and maintains order, while the latter provides military protection.

Judging from the personnel arrangements, Miketsu is the commander, and the Twelve Guardians of the Pure World are more like her top henchmen.

"Among the twelve Martial Gods, there are inherent differences in strength; the higher the ranking, the more unfathomable their power."

Like the newcomer in the twelve days, Uesugi Kenshin, who is now on his turn to be the guardian of the human world.

Among the twelve martial gods, she was at the bottom.

"As for the top twelve Heavenly Kings," Miketsu said, "they have fought on the front lines of the battle between the gods and Hiruko for tens of thousands of years without ever suffering any losses."

"..."

Gu Yun had witnessed firsthand just how terrifying Hiruko-sama was.

The Twelve Heavens are a fighting force specifically designed to contend with Hiruko-no-Kami; one can imagine how terrifying they are.

"Guardians of humanity...?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it then."

The Twelve Heavens are guardians recognized by the world's will, and Gu Yun does not intend to provoke a conflict with them unless there is a conflict.

The next day, Tamaki Iijima woke up and, as expected, experienced a hangover.

"Well!"

The mother covered her mouth, her face not looking too good. Gu Yun said, "Why don't you just rest at home today? Taking a day off now and then is fine."

"I'm the boss, how can a boss take leave?"

Tamaki Iijima was both amused and exasperated: "I just rest every day, what can they do to me?"

If she has time to rest, Tamaki Iijima will feel bored.

So, let's go to work.

"Nothing."

Iijima Tamaki took the basin from Gu Yun and washed her face: "Since Lord Gu Yun has spoken, how can Mother dare to say no? She can only stay at home obediently."

"..."

“Just kidding,” Tamaki Iijima said. “I’ll call Nao later.”

The Iijima family isn't run by just my mother; there's also Hayasaka Nao and Yuyao, who are my mother's representatives within the Iijima Group.

Therefore, even if she is not there, the group's operation will not be affected.

Moreover, we live in the information age now; with mobile phones and computers, we can send remote notifications for anything.

"Owner."

Upon returning home, the Guhuoniao immediately reported on the exorcism that happened the previous night: "The exorcism went smoothly last night, and I safely escorted them home afterwards."

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

Gu Yun introduced Miketsu to Ubume and the shikigami who did not go to the Pure World.

"It really is Lady Miketsu~~"

"So beautiful, is this a true god?"

"Oh my, they are all adorable children."

Miketsu wanted to stroke the heads of the boy and girl, but found that she couldn't touch them at all.

Because this is the material world, Miketsu cannot descend directly.

Her spiritual level was too high, unlike Yu Yao and Kong Huan, who originally possessed physical bodies.

For Miketsu, cleansing the world is the minimum requirement for her to exist.

Further down, her power is barely enough to directly interfere with the corrupt world.

But the other world on the second level, and the present world on the first level, are really too far away for Miketsu.

Even if humans insult her, Miketsu is still an evil god who can drive the world astray, indirectly inflicting curses and punishments on mortals and their souls.

Of course, this is on the premise that Miketsu doesn't become truly angry.

Otherwise, as the will to purify the world, Miketsuhime could have directly declared war on the entire underworld and the human realm.

At that time, it would be like two worlds colliding, and if one is not careful, it could trigger a world-ending crisis.

Don't be sad.

Seeing that the two children were somewhat disappointed, Gu Yun said, "If you want to play with Miketsu, you can go to the courtyard later, or you can go to the Pure World Flower Pavilion through the passage in the courtyard."

The Scroll Garden is a very strange place. It is like Gu Yun's domain, a small world, which can contain existences of almost all dimensions.

In battle, as long as Gu Yun uses the "Myriad Phenomena Domain" technique to envelop the enemy, he can achieve his goal.

Then all dimensional requirements will cease to exist.

That's right, this is Gu Yun's true trump card, and also the battlefield he prepared for a powerful enemy at the Twelve Heavens level.

However, Miketsu has not yet begun her construction plan.

Otherwise, in the future, this flower pavilion and courtyard space will no longer be connected by a passageway, but will truly merge into one world.

"At that time, on the first floor I will have my aunt, Yuyao, Xiubaixue, Hongye and Banruo."

"The second layer also features spider lilies and flower and bird scrolls."

"Above the third level, Miketsu possesses absolute dominance."

Even if any problems arise, Gu Yun can deploy his domain to put all the shikigami into battle simultaneously.

"Well, there's really no chance of that happening."

The red leaves and the Prajna alone are like an insurmountable barrier, enough to keep all dangers at bay.

Gu Yun is not lacking in firepower; on the contrary, he is suffering from an excess of firepower with nowhere to vent it.

To use an analogy, if the mid-level demon he created is a pistol.

Then the higher-ranking shikigami, such as the three-tailed fox, are like Gatling guns.

The top-tier demons are equivalent to tanks and cannons.

The greater monsters above them are practically nuclear weapons.

"What about me?"

Miketsu considers herself the strongest under Gu Yun's command, and therefore eagerly awaits her young master's evaluation.

"you…"

Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "A celestial weapon, a planet-destroying cannon?"

"Oh oh oh, long live nuclear peace!"

When Miketsu was enraged, the heavens and the earth collapsed.

Calling her a planet-destroying cannon is an understatement of her power.

then…

Miketsu's usual reaction: Ah~~ The world is so peaceful, let's have some tea~

An enraged Miketsu: Get out of my way! I've been putting up with you for far too long!

Eat my star-destroying cannon!

"Something feels off."

Gu Yun found it strange. Wasn't Miketsu supposed to be a god with a justice value of 500?

But this inexplicable power made Gu Yun feel that there was another great demon king he needed to seal away.

Imagine if, without his suppression, Miketsujin were enraged and directly gathered the power of the world from the Purification Realm to shoot an arrow at the human world.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

"cough."

Gu Yun had always thought that the power of Hongye and Hannya was too dangerous, and that they could easily turn a person into dust if they were not careful.

Later came the spider lily and the flower and bird scroll, which could even devour your soul.

just now…

If Miketsu were to make a move, she might be able to distort the rules of the Underworld and truly annihilate a being.

"Oh well, villain it is."

Sometimes, there are things you can't escape, so you have to accept them.

"I feel like we've gone in the wrong direction. A high justice score doesn't necessarily mean you're safe."

Gu Yun felt he should think of a way to awaken more R-rank shikigami, such as Yamausagi, Koi, Jumpy Brothers and Sisters, and Butterfly.

Otherwise, he was genuinely worried that one day, his inflated power would overwhelm his ambition, and he would end up nuking the world.
