I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Of course, Li Mo thought it was a minor issue. Instead of having Izayama Naraku go directly to the Iizuna family to discuss the annulment of the engagement, he chose to cut off Iizuna Noriyuki's daily contact with Izayama Yomi and then prepare to deal with Iizuna Noriyuki through other means. In any case, he wouldn't let the other party become an obstacle.

"Yes, Lord God!"

Unaware of the thoughts that arose in Li Mo's mind, the seven beautiful girls, including Isayama Yomi, were delighted to hear about the reward and rest time he promised. They bowed to Li Mo together and then chatted quietly as they left the room.

Li Mo naturally wouldn't impose too strict requirements on them. After all, with Yomi Izumi and the others joining the Dragon Leaf Shrine, and with Miko Yotsuya serving as a role model for the shrine maidens, Yomi Izumi, Mei Izumi, and Kagura Tsuchimiya are all capable when it comes to serious matters. Whether it's learning about shrine maidens or exorcising spirits, they perform exceptionally well.

Even the sisters Setsuna and Shizuru Imano, when they performed the Kagura dance to pray to the gods, were in no way inferior to anyone else. In fact, in less than a few days, they became friends with Miko Yotsuya and the others. Li Mo didn't need to care about them at all; he just needed to maintain his own strength.

Li Mo did not stop Yotsuya Miko and the others from leaving. Instead, he exchanged a knowing glance with Yotsuya Miko, and then stayed alone in the quiet room, gazing at the last fragment he had obtained from the [Forbidden Spell Path], which had now become the complete [Sesshoseki]!

"Tsk tsk, the complete [Killing Stone] is the core of the S-rank evil spirit Nine-Tailed Fox, born from the fusion of faith power and a special soul. It's quite an interesting thing. It's almost at the level of true faith in a god, isn't it?"

Looking at the complete Killing Stone in his hand, Li Mo ignored the eerie attraction that could captivate even elite exorcists, and instead studied the special soul crystal that seemed to embody the Japanese faith in the "Nine-Tailed Fox" once again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Collecting ten fragments of the Killing Stone was a task that took Li Mo a lot of effort. He only managed to gather them after knowing the whereabouts of several fragments from the original "Ga-Rei" story and having thousands of Shadow Soldiers search for them. After successfully fusing the Killing Stone, Li Mo discovered its unique characteristics.

The Sesshoseki, now complete, has an unprecedentedly high attraction to evil spirits and other spiritual entities. It can be said that even A-rank evil spirits cannot resist its allure. Moreover, when Li Mo tested it, he found that evil spirits parasitized by the complete Sesshoseki would quickly transform into the form of a "nine-tailed fox." However, evil spirits with insufficient potential would be devoured by the Sesshoseki and become nourishment for the Sesshoseki itself.

In a sense, the complete Sesshoseki is even more dangerous. While the Tsuchimiya family could develop sealing techniques for fragments of the Sesshoseki, these techniques are useless against the complete Sesshoseki. The complete Sesshoseki now absorbs the soul power of evil spirits and even humans, and it will either revive in a powerful evil spirit or human, reverting to the form of the S-rank evil spirit Nine-Tailed Fox that once ravaged Japan. If that happens, an unprecedented disaster may indeed occur.

Of course, all of the above is based on the premise that Li Mo was foolish enough to throw away the collected [Killing Stone] randomly, that the Japanese side let things develop as they were, and that America, who was stationed in Japan, did not interfere. Otherwise, it might really cause a disaster in Japan, and if America felt that she could not control the situation, she might even plant a few more mushrooms in Japan.

Even if Li Mo was indifferent to whether Japan ate a few more mushrooms, he still considered Japan his own private territory. Therefore, there was no need to throw out the Killing Stone to test the situation. It would be better to keep it in his hands and study its situation carefully.

It should be said that Li Mo originally had some interest in the complete [Sesshoseki]. When he pieced the [Sesshoseki] together and discovered that its fragments would gradually fuse together to form the complete [Sesshoseki], his enthusiasm for research gradually increased. However, as of now, Li Mo's research results on the [Sesshoseki] have only confirmed that the Nine-Tailed Fox, the true form of the [Sesshoseki], no longer exists.

Or, to put it more accurately, when the "Nine-Tailed Fox," a former S-class evil spirit, transformed into the [Sesshoseki], its own consciousness had already disappeared. The remaining [Sesshoseki] was more of a special combination of negative spiritual energy and beliefs such as fear, dread, and death. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "miracle." Otherwise, in countries like Japan and other nations, S-class evil spirits have appeared, but they have almost never left behind special remnants like the [Sesshoseki].

However, special spiritual weapons like the Lion King sword are said to be preserved in China and other countries. In Li Mo's personal opinion, the supernatural world of China and other countries either eliminates or uses evil spirits. As for special things like the Killing Stone, the complete version of the Killing Stone is too dangerous. Even when the Tsuchimiya family obtained a fragment of the Killing Stone, many people died.

However, Li Mo's research on the [Sesshoseki] has not progressed smoothly. Apart from confirming that the complete version of the [Sesshoseki] is very dangerous and that the [Sesshoseki] does not have the consciousness of the "Nine-Tailed Fox" and is more driven by instinct to revive, he has not made any other practical results.

"Forget it! I'll study it slowly later and see if the [Killing Stone] can be used for other purposes, or explore the path of the soul!"

After examining the Killing Stone in his hand again and sensing the powerful negative spiritual energy hidden within it, Li Mo reflected on the futile research he had done over the past two days and decided to put it in his personal world to study and analyze it more thoroughly when he had more time.

If he didn't care about the completeness of the Sesshoseki, Li Mo could have used brute force to break it down piece by piece for research, and he could have made some progress in a few days. However, as anyone with common sense knows, a complete piece is generally much more valuable than a broken one. Moreover, Li Mo had previously studied the fragments of the Sesshoseki, and the difference between them and the complete Sesshoseki was truly remarkable. This is what made him decide to carefully study the complete Sesshoseki.

After some thought, Li Mo decided to make the complete research on the [Killing Stone] a long-term task. He could also obtain research results on the fragments of the [Killing Stone] from the Tsuchimiya family or other extraordinary forces, which he believed would still have some reference value. Moreover, Li Mo could carefully study the [Killing Stone] at that time, and might even get some help from other Li Mos. There was no need to rush to conduct serious research.

In any case, Li Mo has no urgent need to use the complete [Killing Stone]. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mo specially sealed it and it's located within the [Dragon Leaf Shrine] area, it would probably have already attracted a continuous stream of evil spirits from the surrounding area. Besides, the [Killing Stone] couldn't possibly enhance Li Mo's power. His current [spiritual power] already has an absolute advantage over the [Killing Stone]. He could only be affected if he wanted to.

After placing the Killing Stone into his personal world and considering its preparation and the Dragon God faith observation plan as two long-term projects, Li Mo weighed his current situation before turning to look in a certain direction of Tokyo:

"So, there's only one target left..."

Chapter 26 The Final Target!

For Li Mo, after awakening his memories and discovering that he had been reincarnated in a modern world where evil spirits existed, his biggest concern was his own safety. After entering the [White Mist Space], he directly mastered extremely powerful abilities by merging the power and memories of Li Mo from other worlds.

Thanks to the [White Mist Space], Li Mo from multiple different worlds shared their memories and powers. Even the combined power of dozens of ordinary Li Mos could easily surpass the limits of human beings. Moreover, many of the worlds Li Mo transmigrated to possessed powerful supernatural abilities, giving Li Mo from the Food Soul Zero integrated world enough strength to completely eliminate his fear of the evil spirits and other supernatural monsters he had previously been wary of. He could even ignore the technological weapons of various countries.

Putting aside other matters, if Li Mo were to choose to unleash his full potential, he would be qualified to become a villainous boss who rules the entire world. It's just that he doesn't have that kind of idea. Otherwise, ignoring all kinds of modern weapons, including mushroom eggs, and having an absolute advantage over superhumans who have the [spiritual power] extraordinary path, he would have a considerable probability of ruling the world by any means necessary. Unfortunately, Li Mo doesn't have the idea of ​​directly gaining power and then going against heaven and earth.

In this way, Li Mo, now free from worry and having gained power, will have the time to subdue the shrine maidens, and incidentally resolve the issues with Sanzu River, Hiro, and the Forbidden Spell Path, thus directly addressing the enemies encountered in the original "Ga-Rei" anime series at their root.

You're talking about the enemies of "The Visible Girl" and "Outing to the Otherworld"?

Well, Li Mo dealt with that reinforced battalion of American soldiers, and incidentally confirmed that the supernatural monsters in "Outing to the Otherworld" were just the urban supernatural tales that appeared in the Food Soul Zero integrated world, belonging to a new type of special evil spirits.

Regarding the former, according to the report from the Shadow Soldiers, the "disappearance" of those American Marines has been confirmed. As expected, the American military reported them as "missing" rather than "killed in action." After all, the compensation for American soldiers killed in action is much higher than that for "missing." And the American military, which is known for its inhumane practices, would naturally report those fourth-class Marines as missing rather than killed in action.

The paranormal tales and numerous evil spirits that appear in the latter category are the kind that can only be suppressed as much as possible, but cannot be completely eliminated. It is impossible for Japan or even the whole world to completely eliminate many negative emotions and unnatural deaths. Fortunately, the evil spirits that appear can be continuously eliminated and the spread of those strange tales can be curbed. At least the frequency of similar paranormal events has been reduced to a level that does not affect the normal operation of society. For example, things like natural gas pipeline accidents, fires, and shoe cults have become relatively rare.

It should be said that there are quite a few smart people in Japan. Many ordinary Japanese people in the Tokyo metropolitan area have noticed the unusually high frequency of various accidents over the past few months. However, they do not know the real reasons behind them and can only guess and buy some daily necessities to stock up, while also making preparations for evacuation at any time.

As for exploring its secrets, some overly curious people have tried, but most of them actually encountered evil spirits and became their prey. A lucky few were discovered by the Japanese police and persuaded to turn back, but the vast majority remain unaware.

Previously, Li Mo had been clearing away the evil spirits around the Dragon Leaf Shrine. Later, after confirming that he had transmigrated to the Food Soul Zero Comprehensive World, he began to clear away potential hidden dangers while simultaneously starting his own schemes. After villains such as Sanzu River, Hiro, and the Forbidden Spell Path were either directly killed off or became his subordinate forces, Li Mo's life became increasingly peaceful.

After all, in the original anime and manga like Ga-Rei Zero and Ga-Rei, there aren't any world-destroying powerhouses, nor are there many villainous bosses or villainous forces. The most prominent villains are Sanzu River and Hiro, the white-haired brat, and the Forbidden Spell Path. The remaining evil spirits are really rare. Apart from the Killing Stone and the Undying Ones, these two have been running through the entire plot of the Ga-Rei anime. Other evil spirits below A-rank are just cannon fodder.

After Li Mo dealt with Sanzu River and Hiro, subdued the Imano sisters and the forces of the Forbidden Spell Path, and even gathered and fused the Killing Stone, there was actually not much left for him to do. Although there were still some people in the Japanese supernatural world who acted excessively, they were not people Li Mo would care about. Even tasks such as cleaning up ordinary evil spirits were handed over to his subordinates to handle directly.

Fortunately, after careful consideration, Li Mo felt that he needed to find an excuse for the abnormal situation in the Tokyo metropolitan area over the past few months. After thinking about it, he decided to target the sealed [Undying One]. This special evil spirit, sealed in the underground spiritual vein of Hibiya Park in Tokyo, was indeed qualified to take the blame.

In the main anime storyline of "Ga-Rei," the "Undying Ones" are set as spirits who govern all things, independent of the concepts of good and evil and life and death. From a foreign perspective, they are special beings on the level of angels and demons. Hundreds of years ago, they were besieged by the Japanese supernatural world but could not be destroyed. They could only be sealed in an underground spiritual vein node, which is today's Hibiya Park in Tokyo.

Earlier, Li Mo had recalled the existence of the [Undying One] and had arranged for Shadow Soldiers to investigate its specific situation. They confirmed that the [Undying One] was actually a special S-class evil spirit, a super evil spirit named "Great Tengu," one of the three great monsters in Japanese mythology. According to information from the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] and the Tsuchimiya family, the [Great Tengu] appeared during the Warring States period in Japan, causing considerable losses to all parties involved. It was later sealed by various forces in the Japanese supernatural world, but this also resulted in the deaths of too many elite supernatural beings.

To put it simply, S-class evil spirits are definitely not easy targets. Just look at how powerful Mei Isayama and Yomi Isayama were in the original anime storyline, after the Sesshoseki fragments were implanted. They were at most A-class evil spirits at the time, yet they still managed to wreak havoc on the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office and the Isayama family. If an S-class evil spirit were to appear, Japanese superhumans below B-class would be cannon fodder. Only top-tier exorcists at B-class or even A-class would have any real effect.

According to the information Li Mo has gathered, the sealing of the "Undying Ones" in the Japanese transcendent world resulted in the loss of too many elites. For example, the current head of the Tsuchimiya family barely returned to the inheritance of the "Killing Stone" before dying. Another family, the Tsuchimikado family, which was on par with or even stronger than the Tsuchimiya family, declined in prestige due to the loss of too many elites. Even though they have shown signs of resurgence in recent decades, they have been unable to enter the core Tokyo metropolitan area of ​​Japan.

As for how many other Japanese superhumans died, that number is even more unknown. Later, the various forces in the Japanese superhuman world joined forces and used the advantages of terrain, formations, and seals to seal the Great Tengu in the underground spiritual vein. At that time, that place was still a desolate wilderness.

As a result, no one in the Japanese supernatural world expected that the end of the Warring States period would allow the Tokugawa family to eventually gain power. The Tokugawa family, after being enfeoffed in Kanto, did not go to Kyoto, a place where too many old forces once existed. Instead, they chose Edo Castle, the predecessor of Tokyo, as their capital. The place where the "Great Tengu" was sealed ended up becoming the capital of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and later it became a hidden danger in the core area of ​​Tokyo.

It wasn't that no one in the Japanese supernatural world wanted to warn the Tokugawa Shogunate, but considering the danger posed by the Great Tengu and humanity's tendency to court disaster, the Japanese supernatural world chose a roundabout approach. Instead of directly informing the authorities, they pushed various forces to take action, turning the sealed site of the Great Tengu into a park. Even during World War II and Japan's period of rapid economic development, this Hibiya Park remained largely unaffected.

The problem is that, for hundreds of years, the supernatural world of Japan has almost completely forgotten about the sealed [Great Tengu]. Unlike the spirit beast [Bai Rui], which is occasionally brought out by the current head of the Tsuchimiya family, or the fragments of the [Sesshoseki] that occasionally cause disputes when someone obtains them, the [Great Tengu], sealed in the underground spiritual veins, was secretly guarded by supernatural beings for the first hundred years, but later it became a matter of occasional observation.

As for now, if Li Mo hadn't remembered that the original anime and manga of "Ga-Rei" included this hidden boss, dispatched Shadow Soldiers to confirm the existence of [Ootengu], and secretly gone to the Tsuchimiya family and the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] to confirm it, the existence of [Ootengu] would probably have remained buried in the dustbin of history.

This is understandable. Humans are not like elves or dragons in fantasy novels, which are immortal races. With a generation rate of twenty years, it has been almost four or five hundred years since the Japanese Warring States period. More than thirty generations are enough to erase too much. Even those superhumans have been replaced several times. The original superhumans and their direct descendants could still maintain vigilance, but after discovering that the Great Tengu had been sealed, they naturally became more and more lax.

Unless it's a robot that can only be operated by a program, no one can maintain the corresponding level of vigilance all the time. Even if those surviving Japanese superhumans know the terror and power of the Great Tengu, after several generations, not many of their direct descendants will still be vigilant about it. In fact, the longer it goes on, the more likely they are to regard it as a legend. Not to mention that some demon-slaying families have become ordinary people, so it is even less likely that they will be able to be vigilant about the Great Tengu's seal at all times according to the situation.

Therefore, when Li Mo dispatched Shadow Soldiers to confirm, they discovered that the Great Tengu at the underground spiritual vein node had fallen into a deep slumber. Over the past few hundred years, its condition had clearly weakened. However, the weakening of the underground spiritual veins in the Tokyo metropolitan area over the past few hundred years, coupled with the surge in negative spiritual energy over the past few months, had actually stimulated the Great Tengu, giving it the potential to revive.

Moreover, the sealing techniques of the Great Tengu have weakened over hundreds of years, and some techniques have even been damaged. It can be seen that they have not been maintained for more than several decades or even hundreds of years, so the sealing effect is naturally far less effective than it was originally.

For Li Mo, this was actually a good thing. He felt that he didn't even need to do much to convince the Japanese that the recent changes in the Tokyo metropolitan area were the fault of the sealed ancient evil spirit, the Great Tengu, and that all the blame would be placed on the sealed Great Tengu.

No matter how you look at it, this explanation is much more reasonable than what some white-haired brat did to resurrect his mother. At least, if someone who doesn't know the truth hears the drama arranged by Li Mo, they will think that the resurrection of some great evil spirit from ancient times is the cause of all the trouble.

Of course, Li Mo wasn't doing this out of boredom; he was simply very interested in the Great Tengu. Observing the Great Tengu through the Shadow Soldier's vision, he naturally knew that this powerful ancient evil spirit had also reached the level of an S-class evil spirit. In the Food Soul Zero world, it would be considered a top-tier evil spirit. It can be said that the probability of finding such an evil spirit again is very low; otherwise, humanity would have been destroyed long ago.

From Li Mo's perspective, the Great Tengu was undoubtedly a very valuable research subject. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to capture the Great Tengu, and if he was well-prepared, he could even capture it silently. However, Li Mo felt that he could still show off his strength and make the Great Tengu take the blame for the events in the Tokyo metropolitan area over the past few months, completely squeezing out all of the Great Tengu's value, and then use it as a precious experimental subject for research.

If the Great Tengu, sealed within the underground spiritual vein node, knew Li Mo's thoughts and was still capable of thinking, it would surely be so enraged that it would break free of its seal at any cost and come to fight Li Mo to the death. However, if the Great Tengu had that kind of intelligence, it wouldn't have been able to find an opportunity to seal itself away by the much weaker Japanese superhumans.

Li Molan did not directly announce the existence of the Great Tengu, nor did he directly explain it to the Tsuchimiya family and the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office. Instead, he quietly had the Shadow Soldiers make arrangements that caused chaos in the earth's spiritual energy in Tokyo for several consecutive days.

This obviously unusual sign naturally attracted the attention of the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] and other powerful exorcists immediately. Subsequently, for several consecutive nights, the frequency of evil spirits appearing increased significantly due to changes in the earth's spiritual energy. This led the Japanese supernatural world to conclude that this was the enemy causing the sudden surge in the number of evil spirits appearing in the Tokyo metropolitan area over the past few months, and they began to investigate the cause.

To be honest, without the presence of Sanzu River and Hiro, the white-haired imp who knew the information about the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] and possessed insect witchcraft to control specific information, and who was constantly eliminating the elites of the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] and exorcists, the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] and the exorcists, according to their own methods, determined the approximate center location of the earth's spiritual energy changes over several days, and then immediately discovered that it was in Hibiya Park in Tokyo.

Subsequently, it was confirmed that Hibiya Park in Tokyo was the approximate location of the incident. This information reported by the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office caused a great stir among the Japanese government. Many high-ranking Japanese officials could not believe it, but they dared not be careless.

This is Hibiya Park, located in the heart of Tokyo. It's Japan's first modern park in a Western style, with a history of over 100 years. As an open park, Hibiya Park has no gates or walls, blending seamlessly into the city center. It features various facilities including Western-style flowerbeds, an outdoor concert hall, a library and cultural center, and tennis courts, making it a popular leisure destination for Tokyo residents.

If that were all, the Japanese government wouldn't be so excited. The problem is that Hibiya Park is surrounded by the Imperial Palace, Kasumigaseki, Yurakucho and other central areas of Tokyo. A little further away is Tokyo's most prosperous core area, which can be regarded as the central area of ​​Washington and New York, similar to America. Even the Tenko family, who should have been retired from the historical stage, lived in the Imperial Palace and were all direct members of the Imperial Family.

Even the Japanese high-ranking officials, who were quite dismissive of the so-called "Heavenly Locust" and regarded it merely as a mascot, had to admit that the Heavenly Locust still held considerable influence in the hearts of ordinary Japanese people. Moreover, even if they didn't care much about the Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Locust, they still had to consider that the area around Hibiya Park was one of the most prosperous areas in Japan, with many important commercial, political, and economic institutions located there. If a problem arose, it might not only destroy the entire country but could also cause a major upheaval.

In this regard, Japan has also experienced many similar situations. There was the "Edo Flower," which suffered countless losses due to repeated fires. Not long before, there was the forbidden fire spell of the fire-type archmage Li Mei and the Great Kanto Earthquake. Even old men who have experienced those nightmarish scenes would never want to have a new nightmare, let alone a completely supernatural disaster.

The pressure from the Japanese government quickly fell on the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office. Jinguji Ayame had already resigned as head of the office a few days ago under Li Mo's instruction, citing "illness" as the reason. Currently, some unlucky guy is serving as the acting head of the office, and he can only issue various orders with a bitter face.

Therefore, the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office] quickly organized a team to investigate Hibiya Park, while Li Mo, the instigator, stayed at the [Dragon Leaf Shrine], calmly watching the grand show he had designed unfold through the Shadow Soldiers!

Chapter 27 The Awakening of the Great Tengu

As night falls, Tokyo remains brightly lit, bustling with activity as the metropolis never sleeps. Even Hibiya Park, usually teeming with people, is filled with stylishly dressed professionals strolling through the park.

However, Hibiya Park and the surrounding area were unusually calm today. This large area, which had been temporarily closed by the Japanese government under various pretexts, was only occupied by a small team from the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office that had just arrived, and a group of police officers who had been temporarily summoned to seal off the area. People like the Ame-no-Kara family and those high-ranking Japanese officials had already quickly chosen to tactically retreat to safe areas at the first opportunity.

When Noriyuki Izuna and his teammates got out of the Hummer jeep, looking at the desolate Hibiya Park, which looked like a horror movie set, they all had the illusion that they had gone to the wrong place. Fortunately, they quickly realized their mistake and adjusted their mindset.

No matter what, Iizuna Noriyuki is a direct descendant of the Iizuna family. As a member of a demon-slaying family, he understands that his mission is to investigate the sealing of the Great Tengu. After a quick study of the terrifying nature of the Great Tengu, he would only lower his guard if he had a stroke of bad luck. Even Iwabata Koji, Sakuraba Kazuki, and the Nabu brothers, who had just gotten off the train, looked on with wary expressions.

In the past two weeks, with Li Mo's strong support, the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office has cleared out supernatural events involving B-level evil spirits and below, with a large number of elite soldiers working in combat teams composed of Shadow Soldiers. B-level evil spirits and even A-level evil spirits are not so easy to appear. Especially after the elimination of Sanzu River and the white-haired brat Hiro, without him interfering behind the scenes, B-level evil spirits might only appear every few days. So far, there hasn't been a single A-level evil spirit.

For Noriyuki Iitsuna and his team, their previously hectic and irregular work schedules have been replaced by operations that only occur every few days at most. Sometimes, it's even Miko Yotsuya and Yomi Isayama's teams that take the initiative to launch attacks, which has made Iitsuna and his team more relaxed. In fact, they even felt a little unaccustomed to having some free time at the beginning.

However, Noriyuki Iitsuna was in a terrible mood. Anyone would feel bad knowing they were facing some kind of terrifying evil spirit, let alone someone in a bad mood like him, which made him even more depressed.

"Whoosh! Hibiya Park, the legendary powerful evil spirit, is the Great Tengu sealed in the underground spiritual veins beneath this place?!"

Looking at the empty Hibiya Park, where not a soul was in sight, and then at the leader behind him, Koji Iwabata, whom the team members avoided like the plague, Noriyuki Iitsuna couldn't help but let out a deep breath and mutter to himself.

"Tch, Ji Zhi, why do you look so miserable? Are you missing your fiancée?"

In response to Iizuna Noriyuki's exclamation, Sakuraba Ikki, who had a very good relationship with him, deliberately avoided the leader, Iwabata Koji, a terrifying guy whose sexual orientation was also male, and casually said to Iizuna Noriyuki while lighting a cigarette.

"As for Isayama Yomi, she's been busy training at the [Dragon Leaf Shrine] these past few days!"

Faced with his friend's teasing remarks, Noriyuki Iitsuna's expression darkened further. After explaining to his friend, he couldn't help but complain, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with his fiancée's actions. The complex feeling of surprise mixed with humility that he had shown earlier was completely gone: "I didn't even know she was teaming up with a few other girls. She might not even remember us teammates anymore... huh?!"

For Noriyuki Iitsuna himself, his marriage to Yomi Isayama was also a family decision. The reason was that the Iitsuna family could become close allies with the Isayama family. It was like sending a direct descendant to be a son-in-law. The Iitsuna family would not care about the cost at all. Besides, strictly speaking, it was definitely not a bad thing.

By all accounts, Isayama Yomi is outstanding in appearance, character, and ability. Especially after entering the Dragon Leaf Shrine for training, she has gradually become even more beautiful and charming, and her own strength has also improved to a greater level. The Iitsuka family feels that their son is fortunate to have married such a good wife, which is a blessing earned over several lifetimes. In addition, since the Isayama family has not mentioned canceling the engagement, the Iitsuka family naturally welcomes this matter.

The problem is that while the Iitsuzu family is very happy, Iitsuzu Noriyuki himself is not in a good mood. As a member of the newly formed elite squad of the [Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office], he was just a guy who relied on the spirit beast [Kanko] as a scout. The gap between him and Isayama Yomi was really too big. Moreover, Isayama Yomi had almost no contact with him now, which made Iitsuzu Noriyuki feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Then, Noriyuki Iitsuna realized that he didn't need to worry about so much. Their reconnaissance mission against the Great Tengu had unexpectedly encountered a situation where the ground in Hibiya Park was cracking, revealing a terrifying entity sealed underground!

……

Rewind to one minute earlier, thousands of meters underground beneath Hibiya Park, a colossal creature, over a hundred meters tall, seemed to be bound by a thick barrier, with the surrounding light occasionally replenishing the barrier.

If you look closely, you can see that the barrier, which is 150 meters wide, is spherical. The light spots that occasionally merge into the barrier from all sides are the spiritual power of a major underground spiritual vein on the neon side, constantly replenishing the consumption of this special sealing barrier. Inside the barrier, there are chains that lock up the behemoth trapped inside.

The S-rank ancient evil spirit, Great Tengu! This colossal creature sealed within the barrier is none other than the hidden boss from the main anime series "Ga-Rei." It can be said to be a powerful evil spirit that once nearly destroyed a generation of elites in the Japanese supernatural world. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the Susanoo Gundam from the Naruto world, but with its pair of black wings, sharp claws on its limbs, and a head that resembles a ferocious dog or bird, it is definitely more like a great monster from Japanese mythology than the majestic Susanoo Gundam.

In a sense, the evil spirit [Great Tengu]'s attitude towards the Japanese is no different from that of a great demon. It casually tramples and kills large numbers of Japanese people and absorbs their souls. The souls of superhumans who follow the path of [spiritual power] are even more of the evil spirit [Great Tengu]'s favorite food. Otherwise, in the chaotic Warring States period in Japan, when tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians died, the various forces in the Japanese superhuman world would never have joined forces to deal with [Great Tengu].

The reason is that the evil spirit [Great Tengu] was chasing after extraordinary individuals and constantly devouring their souls, which led to its sealing by the neon extraordinary world, which sensed a life-or-death crisis. Now, someone is preparing to let [Great Tengu], which has been sealed for hundreds of years, see the light of day again!

[Command! Begin to disperse the earth's spiritual energy and destroy the nodes of the sealing barrier!]

As soon as Izuna Kiichi and his party drove into Hibiya Park, the shadow soldiers hidden at the leyline nodes began to carry out the orders previously given by Li Mo. Ignoring the harsh underground environment, the shadow soldiers arrived at various locations outside the barrier.

Chi Chi!

Outside the barrier, the shadow soldiers used their shadow blades to pierce into seemingly ordinary or broken runes. Then, with a sound like bubbles bursting, the earth vein energy that had been absorbed by the barrier began to rage and rush into the barrier.

Originally, the barrier's absorption of the earth's ley line power was somewhat similar to the principle of a hydroelectric power station. The amount of ley line power absorbed was very small compared to the entire ley line. It was a sealing barrier composed of multiple barrier techniques at the nodes of the ley line's spiritual power. The nodes of those barrier techniques were the key. When the ley line's spiritual power began to become violent, it was as if the hydroelectric power station had encountered a once-in-a-century flood.

The Japanese superhumans who joined forces to seal the Great Tengu did so under the threat of life and death, giving full play to their abilities. In addition, the Great Tengu was indeed acting on instinct without much rationality, which is why they were able to successfully seal this S-class evil spirit. It can be said that a lot of luck was involved in the process.
