Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"What are you resisting?!"

Uesugi shouted at the figure floating in the air, "Fire Heaven!!!"

There is no 'God' in this world.

"He is not the savior you imagine."

The woman named Huotian had dazzling blonde hair. She was dressed in Western-style armor, holding a knight's sword, and looked down at the military goddess standing in the void: "You are wrong, Uesugi."

Huo Tian is the fifth of the twelve celestial beings, ranking only one place higher than Uesugi-neechan.

Uesugi's sister was once Bishamonten, who came to this country with her compatriots and settled here.

Later, due to the disaster caused by Hiruko-no-kami, Uesugi-nee abandoned her divine status and passed it on to a junior, who became the second generation Bishamonten.

Like Uesugi, Katen also has her own origin, as well as her name and identity as a human after she descended from heaven to become human.

The name Huo Tian comes from the fact that she perished in fire, and that she was only able to transcend death in her last moments.

"I didn't say God, I said a person with perfect spiritual character!"

"That is God!"

However, Huo Tian denied Uesugi's explanation.

In her view, Gu Yun was the one who came to save the world, and when he reached the tenth level, wouldn't he be the so-called one true god?

"Furthermore, I am the current guardian of the afterlife."

Huo Tianjian pointed at Uesugi-nee: "You shouldn't have come here. You've crossed the line."

If it were the usual Uesugi-neechan, she would definitely bow and apologize immediately in the face of such accusations.

But this matter concerns Gu Yun, the mission and long-cherished wish of the Twelve Days. Sister Uesugi cannot back down; she must stand firm and fight for what is right!

“I know this rule.”

Uesugi-nee: "But this is beyond our control. I must inform every one of the twelve days about the person with the perfect spirit."

"And what about your human world?"

Huo Tian: "The human world you are meant to protect has lost twelve heavens. Who can suppress those villains now?"

"..."

This is also the root cause of the fight between Uesugi-nee and Katen.

As soon as the two met, Huo Tian gave them the order to leave, using the power of the will of the other world to forcibly send Uesugi-nee back.

Fortunately, Uesugi-neechan had just left the other world, so she was very familiar with this place and with the will of the other world.

So, thanks to her pleading, Uesugi-neechan wasn't thrown back to the human world by 'Enma'.

However, this angered Huo Tian.

Huo Tian drew his sword, preparing to use absolute power to send Uesugi-neechan out of the afterlife.

"Before I leave, I have already left behind enough power in the world."

Uesugi knew it was wrong of her to abandon her post, but the mission of the Twelve Days was more important, and Kagetsu should have known that better than her.

But why?

Why does Huo Tian keep rejecting himself?

She considered one possibility: Huo Tian had broken her vow and had fallen into evil.

"Since you have accepted the title of Twelve Days, you should abide by the oath of the Twelve Days."

Uesugi's older sister was afraid of this possibility, so she probed again: "You swore an oath!"

For twelve days, they knew each other's true identities, but Uesugi-nee dared not call Huo Tian by his real name: "We have both sworn an oath to protect the perfect spirit, reach the end, and thus save our era and our home!"

Because once the name of the Fire God is uttered, endless disasters will befall.

She was born with hope, yet she brought despair to the world.

Uesugi-nee knew that Katen was not someone who clung to life or feared death; she and Mizuten were probably the least afraid of death.

They live in the face of death, and their only enemy is despair.

It is impossible for such a twelve-day period to abandon its mission out of fear of Hiruko-gami.

"No need to test me, Uesugi."

Huo Tian: "I have not abandoned my mission."

"But I won't go see him."

"why?"

"He needs to be tested."

Huo Tian: "A twelve-day trial!"

Huo Tian had a different idea from Uesugi-neechan; she didn't intend to be a sycophant: "If he is truly the chosen one, then a mere trial is naturally nothing to worry about."

Once Gu Yun completes the Fire Heaven Trial, she will definitely acknowledge Gu Yun's identity and status and truly pledge allegiance to him.

"Do not joke!"

Uesugi said, "That person is different from what we thought. He doesn't need our power at all. He even rejected my real name!"

Whenever this is mentioned, Uesugi-nee feels genuine humiliation and indignation.

Of course, she didn't blame Gu Yun; she just felt ashamed.

I was disliked, utterly and completely disliked.

"This was the mission we imposed on him."

Huo Tian shook her head. She had witnessed what happened after Uesugi-nee's interaction with Gu Yun, so she didn't blame Gu Yun: "We never helped him, so how can we expect anything in return?"

"Since he is unwilling, no one can force him to."

"Your insistence is the biggest mistake, Uesugi."

Huo Tian's figure began to gradually dissipate. Uesugi-nee felt the rejection from the will of the other world. Before leaving, she shouted, "Then why did you release the demons from hell! You are not afraid of them, but what about the human world and other worlds?"

"This is my trial."

Huo Tian's voice came from the darkness: "Slay all the evil spirits that have escaped from hell."

"Depend on!"

Uesugi cursed, realizing that Katen was far more despicable than she was.

Releasing evil spirits from hell means that Gu Yun, as the savior, is an adversary and enemy of these big bosses.

Although Huo Tian said she didn't want to force Gu Yun, her actions were still a disguised way of driving him away.

Chapter 125 Spirited Away

'Squeak, squeak, squeak.'

It was a bright and sunny summer day, and the sounds of frogs and cicadas from the old days still lingered in my ears.

"Be careful, Chihiro."

The gentle words came from behind him. The girl had her back to him, and the clear river water flowed past her feet, dispelling the sweltering heat and bringing a touch of coolness, which made him smile involuntarily.

When the girl got tired of playing, that kind figure carried her on his back and walked along the verdant riverbank.

This scene is both heartwarming and nostalgic.

"who is it?"

Chihiro looked at the two figures, one large and one small. She felt that he was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

It was as if he were someone very important.

Then suddenly, it disappeared.

One day, he disappeared from her world and left her forever.

"Crash!"

Suddenly, the scene shifts, and Chihiro finds herself falling into a cold river, the suffocating feeling like darkness slowly engulfing her.

She didn't know where she was.

Is it a dream?

The dream was incredibly realistic, as if something had actually happened, and it was replaying in her life.

'It hurts so much.'

'Someone, please save me…'

Despite her inner cries, the girl's consciousness grew increasingly blurred.

Just then, a hand reached into the water and grabbed the girl.

'Chihiro!'

It was that gentle figure again; he hugged himself and struggled desperately in the turbulent river.

When she regained consciousness, all she could hear were people talking and the woman's heart-wrenching cries.

'Chihiro?'

"Chihiro!!"

A voice identical to the one of the weeping woman rang out, startling the sleeping girl awake. She opened her eyes in a panic: "Mom?"

"Are you awake? It's time to eat."

When Yuko Ogino saw Chihiro wake up, she subconsciously looked away, avoiding eye contact with her daughter.

"Mother."

Chihiro thought of her previous dream, that gentle, kind figure that felt incredibly familiar yet had vanished.

Were they childhood playmates?

Or is it a relative's child?
