Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"We will not hurt her, nor will we force her to do anything."

"It's just about creating an opportunity."

If Enma Ai is indeed found, the shikigami will notify Gu Yun immediately.

Throughout the entire process, the shikigami will not even meet with Enma Ai.

There will be neither threats nor persecution. Suzuka Gozen simply told Higanbana not to be too gentle, and that it was okay to be a little rough when necessary.

Anyway, the shikigami will apologize to Xiao Ai afterwards.

"Yama is very important. Obtaining her power, including the power of the next life and the power of purification, will give us the power of three whole lifetimes!"

One world will is enough to rival the twelve heavens below, but when world wills are combined, it's not just a matter of 1+1=2, it's a qualitative change!

Take Suzuka Gozen as an example; she is confident that she can break through Miketsu's world-class defense, it's just a matter of time.

But what about two worlds?

What about the three worlds?

Suzuka Gozen was unaware of the extent of the solidity of other worlds, but she also possessed the identity of a natural incarnation in the afterlife, so she knew exactly what kind of power the afterlife would have.

Without a doubt, even if Suzuka Gozen spent her entire life trying to break through the shells of the two little devils, the reincarnated female demon and the Pure World Mikoto, together, she would never be able to break through their shells.

This means that as long as two world wills work together, none of the twelve heavens of the Upper Six Palaces can do anything to them.

"This is just me, and I alone cannot be the sole criterion for judgment."

Suzuka Gozen didn't take Uesugi-neechan's six-tiered strategy seriously, feeling that she could take on a whole bunch of Uesugi-neechans by herself.

Only the Upper Six Gates, only monsters like Old Zasa, are Suzuka Gozen's hypothetical enemies.

"Through this exchange, we can roughly determine our place in this world."

Even if Old Zasa isn't the strongest in the world, he's definitely in the top five.

Therefore, the outcome of the fight with him directly determines Gu Yun and the shikigami's attitude towards the gods of this world.

“Aunt, you are in charge of hiding in the world, and then find out where the natural incarnation of the hidden world is located.”

The human world is divided into three: the hidden world, the other world, and the present world.

The world's will here has been shattered.

According to Suzuka Gozen's understanding of the afterlife, the three incarnations should be equivalent to one natural incarnation. If all three could be gathered, it is very likely that the world's will in the present world would be revived.

"Prajna, and Red Leaf, I hope you can delve deeper into the illusory world of ghost stories."

"What does the boss need us to do?"

"curse."

Suzuka Gozen said, "With Gozenjin here, we have no shortage of blessings and wishes."

In contrast, Gu Yun did not receive much curse power.

Gu Yun mostly only dabbled in curse-type spells.

He is skilled at breaking, targeting, and sealing, but he does not wish to cast curses on others.

Over the years, Gu Yun has only used a curse-like spell once, against Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

“There is no absolute distinction between good and evil in the forces of the world,” Suzuka Gozen said. “Both the blessings of good gods and the curses of evil gods have their reasons for existing.”

"We understand."

Momiji accepted the task, feeling that Suzuka Gozen's actions were correct.

Any force, regardless of its nature, is worth studying as long as it has no side effects.

Red Leaf and Prajna are themselves great demons containing curses. They thrive in the illusory and turbid worlds, completely untouched by corruption.

Chapter 172 Guardian

Afterwards, Suzuka Gozen also gave special missions to shikigami such as Ukikumushi and Hikari-ko to explore the turbid world and the eternal world.

"The evil gods in this corrupt world are very troublesome."

The Pure World and the Impure World are opposing forces, and their strengths are roughly equal, so it's hard to say which is stronger or weaker.

Most importantly, Miketsu's power cannot enter the third layer of space, which is filled with malice, even more intense than a curse.

Everything in the universe has its counterpart; the nemesis of benevolent deities like Mikoto, which purify the world, is the evil thoughts of the corrupt world.

Of course, it's not about absolute restraint.

Ultimately, it comes down to who is stronger and who is weaker.

Even against the will of the corrupt world, Miketsu can go toe-to-toe with her opponent.

The problem is that benevolent gods have a great deal of physical discomfort with evil gods!

It's like a trash can.

You know there's nothing wrong with it, but you just feel it's dirty.

For Miketsu to run off to the turbid world is like letting her jump into a trash can; just thinking about it makes her shudder.

To put it bluntly, if an evil god, laden with a thick curse, were to pounce on her, Miketsu would probably run away immediately.

Even though Miketsu stood there, letting this evil god do as he pleased, it could not touch the noble and holy goddess.

Even the most powerful woman, even a queen, can only dodge if someone throws something disgusting at her.

This has nothing to do with strength; it's purely disgusting, utterly disgusting!

Even Suzuka Gozen, the strongest among them, couldn't stand the corrupt world; it was just too filthy and unbearable.

"One must be extremely careful when exploring in this turbid world."

"Notify me immediately if you encounter any danger."

Suzuka Gozen retrieved the kikumushi from the turbid world, and the latter asked in confusion, "Is it alright? I also carry many curses."

"fine."

Suzuka Gozen has a higher tolerance for pain than Gozen-hime.

Moreover, the curse of the chrysanthemum is unique; it is simply energy and does not carry much malice.

The reason why the curse of the turbid world is so abhorrent is that it contains far too much evil, which is what the gods would avoid at all costs.

The curses on demons like the chrysanthemum, the prajna, and the red leaves are more like an extreme manifestation of some kind of emotion.

In the eyes of the gods, this is not foul-smelling garbage, but a sharp and dangerous weapon.

The gods felt more fear and dread towards them than disgust.

"Boss, how should Chang Shi conduct the reconnaissance?"

"Let's go and scout out their combat strength first."

Suzuka Gozen said, "The most important thing is who the twelve heavens are over there, followed by the environment, culture, and rules."

Changshi is not a place that Gu Yun will be involved in for the time being.

However, with the idea of ​​being prepared, Suzuka Gozen decided to investigate in advance, at least to have a stable passage between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Otherwise, when the time comes to go, it will be the same as this journey to the afterlife.

Rushing into the unknown, Suzuka Gozen would have scolded the shikigami if she hadn't known it was Gu Yun's decision: 'What have you been doing for the past four years? Playing house with little Gu Yun?!'

Despite possessing such immense power, Gu Yun never restrained them; on the contrary, he was extremely accommodating.

In this situation, how could you all still be doing nothing? Suzuka Gozen wished she could give each of you a flick on the forehead to wake them up.

“Young Master Gu Yun respects our ideas,” Suzuka Gozen said. “He wants us to do what we like.”

"As long as we don't go against the general direction, we are free."

Suzuka Gozen understands the desires of the shikigami; they don't want any freedom at all, nor are they interested in doing whatever they want.

Their greatest wish was simply to stay by Gu Yun's side, nothing more.

"but not now!"

Suzuka Gozen had no ambition, but she needed to lay the foundation for Tanigumo.

This coincides with Iijima Tamaki's thoughts.

"We can use our talents to the fullest and contribute to protecting our little brother Gu Yun."

Suzuka Gozen really couldn't understand how stupid one had to be to stay by Tanigumo's side for four years without doing anything!

Wine is a poison that burns through the intestines, and lust is a steel knife that scrapes the bones.

Gu Yun wasn't a stunning beauty, but in the eyes of the shikigami, she was even more alluring than a paradise of gentle pleasures.

Even Suzuka Gozen lacked confidence that she could resist Tanigumo's temptation.

If she continues to do nothing like this, Suzuka Gozen will also become so engrossed in this pleasure that she forgets everything else and will completely fall into the hands of Tanigumo.

“Everyone, please take note,” Suzuka Gozen said, “It is certainly a pleasure to be with Tanigumo-kun.”

"But if we do nothing, why did he create us?"

Shikigami are utterly useless, so why do they exist, and what help do they offer Gu Yun?

"so…"

Suzuka Gozen said, "I plan to select some leaders from among the generals of Kyoto based on their combined strength."

The so-called leader does not mean the one who rules over other shikigami.

Only Gu Yun has the authority to command the shikigami; Suzuka Gozen is not qualified to do so either.

The reason Suzuka unites everyone here is because of the relationships and trust between them.

Just like a friend's invitation, if the other party asks for help and has a valid reason, how can you not help?

"Suzuka, what do you mean?"

“I want to emulate the Twelve-Day Plan and create a ranking as well,” Suzuka Gozen said. “I will call it the Guardian Generation.”

During Japan's Sengoku period, lords who protected a region were given the title of "Kuroshi" (or "Guardian of a Certain Region"), such as Omi Kuroshi and Echigo Kuroshi.
