In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

Accompanied by the clear cry of a giant whale, the lake water, reflecting seven colors of light, merged with the clouds to form a humanoid creature about two meters tall, whose face was obscured as if shrouded in a hazy mist.

The moment this humanoid creature appeared, everyone present felt an extremely powerful, almost oppressive, spiritual force.

"Owner..."

"No need to come over."

Seeing that Onimaru Kunitsuna wanted to transform back into a sword and become his weapon, Yohoshi simply shook his head.

"Focus on dealing with that whale."

The seven-colored humanoid monster's target was clearly Night Star.

Furthermore, He gathered most of the spiritual power possessed by the god of weather.

Within this divine realm...

The god of weather has no physical form.

Or rather, as long as there is a replenishment of spiritual energy, any harm inflicted upon Him will have no effect.

"Is it finally coming...?"

The seven-colored humanoid monster conjured a spear made of rain and clouds, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, and thrust it straight at Ye Xing.

"All evil will be eradicated, and the eight million will be finished."

Ye Xing first called out his true soul name, then raised his right hand and reached out towards the empty space beside him.

"come out!"

The two ghostly hands, one pitch black and one pale white, did not appear. Instead, they skipped this stage and merged with Night Star's arms.

"boom!"

The heavy spear pierced the black shield in Night Star's right hand.

Behind the seven-colored humanoid figure, there were colors as dazzling as a rainbow.

Behind Ye Xing, however, lay a hellish scene, filled with black mist where tens of thousands of evil spirits struggled and screamed.

The two sides are clearly distinct.

At that moment, Hina Amano even had a very strange feeling.

Just look at this scene before me...

Night Star is more like the villain in the story, the leader of evil spirits who commands evil spirits and invades the sacred divine realm.

"Come..."

In Ye Xing's originally black pupils, scarlet kaleidoscope-like patterns appeared, and blood vessels even bloomed in the whites of her eyes, just like the evil spirits in the underworld. Two lines of bloody tears flowed from her eyes.

"Come and bring me more joy!"

"Susanoh."

Only the tall, dark phantom of the upper body rose out of thin air, and the black shield in Ye Xing's hand moved to the phantom's right hand, transforming into a giant shield that matched its size, which was then forcefully smashed towards the head of the seven-colored humanoid monster.

The latter's figure suddenly swelled, gathering the surrounding lake water and clouds, its seven-colored spiritual energy so intense that even Amano Hina in the distance could hardly look directly at it.

"You mere humans, vanish!"

240 'Masked's' Public Speech, The Battle for Faith

As the dark phantom of Susanoo clashed with the tall humanoid figure that the weather god had transformed into, the intense clash of spiritual energy caused the surrounding clouds to tremble, and even a few thunderclaps flashed, as if adding some color to this battle between the exorcist and the god. At the same time, Onimaru Kunitsuna couldn't help but frown.

She flashed, cutting through the several cloud-like humanoid monsters blocking her path, and gently landed beside Hachisakura-sama and Amano Hina, lowering her voice as she spoke.

"The situation is not good."

"This is bad?"

Looking at the black phantom constructed by Night Star, holding a pitch-black shield in its left hand and a pitch-black fan formed from the power of evil spirits in its right, which was being swung around and making the seven-colored giant retreat step by step, Amano Hina hesitated.

"This...this is bad, it seems like it's the other side?"

No, you don't understand.

Onimaru Kunitsuna's expression was very serious, and his brows revealed an unconcealable worry.

Do you know what your master's abilities are?

Amano Hina nodded slightly.

"He mentioned this before. It's about using your imagination to construct a complete power system, and then using the abilities built upon that system to materialize in reality. Simply put, it's the special ability to turn phenomena into reality, right?"

"That's true, but..."

Onimaru Kunitsuna said with a solemn expression.

"This ability is far too dangerous."

"Danger...?"

"Yes, it's dangerous."

Looking at Yoru, who was fully engaged in the battle with the God of Weather, his body inside the black phantom, two lines of bloody tears flowing from his eyes, leaving two dark red marks on his black mask, and his eyes revealing a variety of emotions such as excitement, joy, and enjoyment, Onimaru Kunitsuna pursed his lips and said softly.

"I don't know how the master came up with the strange abilities he uses, including the ones he has now, but it is precisely because these abilities are unrestricted and are performed entirely by the mind that they are the most dangerous."

"Imagination is a very dangerous thing."

"The master's soul and body... are, after all, just human, or rather, at least more human."

"If he uses overly powerful moves in battle... his body and soul, even with the blessing and protection of evil spirits, are easily backfired."

At this point, Onimaru Kunitsuna paused, exchanged a glance with Tamamo-no-Mae in the distance, and said something that only the two of them knew.

"Moreover... Master's injuries have not fully recovered."

When Amano Hina heard the last sentence, she was stunned. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped herself.

Think about it carefully...

What did Ye Xing experience during those nearly ten days?

First, he was trapped in the Otherworld, fighting powerful evil spirits, and most importantly, he fought against the evil spirits created by the earthquake. He also spent a week in the perilous Otherworld.

Then, using his true soul form, the Black and White Ghost Hand, he forcibly tore open a gap in the inner world, and during a time when he was neither a person nor a demon, he forcibly left the inner world and returned to the real world.

Then came the Battle of Kyoto Tower, where I fought against thousands of powerful beings, including Hannya and Shuten-dōji, for nearly an hour, covering an area that encompassed the entire Kyoto Tower.

The Kyoto Tower incident occurred just two days ago, less than 48 hours ago.

To borrow a phrase that Yoru often uses, it's an abstract statement that makes the members of the Overload Society blush with shame every time they hear it.

Even the saintess trapped in the goblin cave in the story couldn't withstand this kind of ordeal.

"What should we do now?"

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hina Amano felt even more regretful.

It's all my fault for being too sentimental, and for wanting to entrust my younger brother to someone I could trust before I disappeared, which led to the current situation.

If I were to simply disappear silently, find a corner, and not let anyone know...

Even Ye Xing wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation.

Onimaru Kunitsuna was unaware of Amano Hina's feelings of self-reproach. As a sword with detached emotions, who only cared about the night star, she didn't care about anything else except the safety of her master.

"Going to help... would be pointless."

Onimaru Kunitsuna gazed at the seven-colored giant monster, formed from rain and clouds, whose injuries healed instantly even after being beaten down by the Night Star, and who showed no sign of backing down, and murmured to himself.

"This guy's spiritual power is almost limitless. Even if Master is in peak condition, fighting a war of attrition on the opponent's home turf, he probably won't win. The most crucial, and only, way to turn the tide of the battle is..."

At this point, Onimaru Kunitsuna looked at Lord Yasakani and said with a solemn expression.

"Eight feet, you must use your own domain to help your master cover the other party's domain and cut off the other party's external spiritual energy supply."

"Huh? Domain? Me?"

The eight-foot-tall man looked completely bewildered.

"But... I don't know how."

"You may not know how now, but you already have the necessary skills."

Onimaru Kunitsuna explained very seriously.

"The reason why Master and Miss Yotsuya were able to open their domains is because they both devoured evil spirits that had merged with 'doors'. You already have a 'door' within you, and now it's time to use it."

"But...I..."

The eight-foot-tall man didn't know how to answer.

She has basically not developed the "gate" inside her body. After all, not long after Yasakatsu was born, she didn't even have time to kill a single human before being recruited by Yoruichi as a temporary worker for the Superpower Company, which has now become a lifelong job.

Open the realm?

alone?

The eight-foot-tall man didn't know how to do such a thing.

“This is the only way.”

Noticing the slightly bewildered and helpless look on Lady Hachisak's face, Onimaru Kunitsuna took two steps forward, placed his hand on her shoulder, looked directly into Lady Hachisak's eyes, and said, word by word.

"If you can't activate the domain, the master's spiritual power will eventually run out, and in the end... we will definitely lose."

Although Onimaru Kunitsuna's tone was calm, the meaning behind it made the Eight-Foot Lord feel an unprecedented heavy pressure.

She looked at Ye Xing, who was locked in combat with the seven-colored giant monster, and noticed the black mist behind him that represented a domain, seemingly fighting against this divine realm.

The vibrant colors of the rainbow clashed with the pitch-black fog, neither side willing to yield.

The black mist representing the Night Star Domain could no longer extend outwards. Although it was not completely covered by the mist, it had reached a stalemate with the seven-colored spiritual power of the Weather God.

Although it's a stalemate...

But Lord Yasha knew that, just as Tamamo-no-Mae had said, if the power of the Night Star was allowed to continue to be depleted like this, it would eventually break down; it was only a matter of time.

That's the only way.

"I...I'll give it a try."
