I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

"Yes!"

Higashino Akira sat quietly in the only seat in the venue, leaning slightly to one side, resting his head on his hand on the armrest, and closing his eyes to rest.

One, two…

The subordinate gods of the Yunmeng pantheon, who were granted titles under Higashino Akira's command, gradually arrived one after another.

Because there were two very strong little girls who were either of noble birth or had great punches, plus an even more formidable leader above them, this group of unruly outcasts became unusually well-behaved, and no one dared to cause trouble or throw a tantrum at this critical juncture.

After arriving at headquarters.

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere on the field, and seeing that none of her colleagues were speaking, she dared not speak at all.

They had no choice but to stand quietly and wait patiently.

Until the witch respectfully stepped forward.

"Lord Higashino, everyone is here."

Akira Higashino opened his eyes, calmly surveyed the scene, and uttered words that shocked all the subordinate gods.

"Some of our comrades have been killed in action."

"What surprised me even more was that He did not die on the journey of fighting for me, but as a newly naturalized member, He stayed in His own territory and met His demise."

“I don’t know who is so bold as to lay a hand on our people, but I think you have the right to know.”

The outcasts in the room immediately began to whisper among themselves, their expressions varied, and they were all puzzled by the words of their newly recognized leader.

The boss himself didn't know what was going on, and that unknown colleague was also dead, so how could they be informed?

Everyone was completely baffled.

Immediately afterwards, the actions of the supreme deity stunned them.

Higashino Akira stretched out his hand and gently tapped the open space in front of him. A faint golden light appeared at his fingertips, fell to the ground, and then quickly expanded, forming a light cocoon more than two meters high.

There was no movement inside the cocoon at first, but not long after, a heartbeat that sounded like a hallucination suddenly rang out, and then the cocoon was suddenly damaged, and a figure with a purple-black spiritual field surrounding its body appeared out of thin air.

As soon as the other person appeared, he trembled as if he had just woken up from a dream, tears streaming down his face. He instinctively cried out in grief. It took him a while to recover. He belatedly looked around the venue, and finally his gaze fell on the figure in the main seat. He knelt down with a thud.

[Concentrated and purified faith droplets-100]

Seeing that the Demon Mother Goddess's power was greatly diminished, her divinity so weak that it was almost impossible to tell that she had once been a part of a deity, Higashino Akira waved his hand, interrupting her words of gratitude.

"Those who are granted my decree shall coexist with the Yunmeng pantheon. As long as I live, Yunmeng will live; as long as Yunmeng lives, you will not die."

"I resurrected you with your true spirit that you entrusted to me. Stop talking these meaningless words and tell me what happened to you before you were killed."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Mother Goddess immediately accepted the order. While crying, she recounted the whole story, interspersed with cries of injustice, saying that she had obeyed the law, stayed in the shrine properly, and had not harmed any humans. However, a despicable evil spirit barged into her territory and, taking advantage of its own nature as a cub, restrained her, preventing her from taking action. The spirit then captured and devoured all of her children, and even she was not spared.

The group of non-human beings all looked worried.

Unexpectedly, even a powerful and long-established deity like the Demon Mother Goddess could encounter an accident.

Why is it so difficult to survive?

At this moment, everyone's sense of identification with their new identity and background increased almost dramatically.

Fortunately, they were recruited in advance and have a powerful backer. As long as they don't betray the cause, they will at least have a chance to be revived if something unexpected happens.

From the front of the deity, Bao Yue's pupils suddenly dilated as she stared directly at the newly resurrected god who was complaining. Listening to His description, she subconsciously uttered a soft cry, "Mom!"

The other oddballs: "???"

What's wrong with Master Ye?

Even if you're scared, there's no need to shout it out like that; the Supreme God is still here.

Human children are unreliable; they're easily frightened, even if they're highly talented.

Ignoring the strange looks from these guys, Bao Yue took two steps forward somewhat hastily, took out a photo, and repeatedly confirmed it with the Japanese Mother Goddess.

After receiving a definite answer, he turned his gaze urgently to Akira Higashino.

"It's a void!"

"It's the one that stole Mom's soul!" Little Night Snack pleaded earnestly. "Lord Higashino, I request to lead the team into battle and eliminate this guy!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yexiao, who is usually calm and composed and never flinches when facing all kinds of terrifying and powerful evil spirits, would show such a panicked expression of losing her composure.

Akira Higashino gave the little guy a deep look and nodded.

"allow."

Baoyue didn't even have time to thank them, or perhaps she was too slow to react. After receiving permission, she quickly mustered her forces, brought along the Oni Mother Goddess, and then asked Meiyou to teleport her and everyone else to the Oni Mother Goddess's shrine.

Those who remained were mostly minor characters with relatively average strength, who could not provide any assistance in high-level battles.

Akira Higashino didn't let them leave on their own. Instead, he arranged for Mitsuha and Kotoko to take them down to the different floors of the building to rest and get to know each other while they waited.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The distraught Little Night Snack and a large number of monsters and gods who had followed him into battle returned.

They returned with news of their fruitless mission.

We arrived too late.

Despite searching separately for a long time, they still couldn't find the evil spirit that killed the Demon Mother Goddess. The spirit had already gone far away and was nowhere to be found.

The only information they could gather was from a small Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the outskirts of Tokyo. They had seen Tai Sui Xingjun fight that guy. Kong Wang was almost killed by Tai Sui, but Tai Sui showed mercy and helped Kong Wang recover. It seemed that Tai Sui taught it some knowledge and then let it go.

According to estimates, this event occurred shortly before the Sky Destroyer devoured the Demon Mother Goddess.

Although I don't know what Tai Sui taught Kongwang.

But this ancient, bored, and morbidly entertaining deity is certainly not hiding anything good.

The Yunmeng pantheon has gained yet another reason to take action against it.

Bao Yue Ye Xiao rallied her spirits, her gaze resolute.

Having joined the Yunmeng pantheon, she was no longer satisfied with simply capturing ordinary evil spirits to train graduates—a slow path to power enhancement.

Compared to graduates who need to be nurtured and trained, she now has more controllable high-level combat power and can implement more radical plans.

They directly attacked all kinds of powerful heretics and disobedient gods!

Of course, because the Yunmeng pantheon needs to maintain relative purity to avoid wasting the power of faith, most of the subordinate gods do not devour evil spirits.

Those evil spirits caught along the way shouldn't be wasted. If they can be put to good use, and a few graduates with special abilities and strong talents can be trained to further expand our forces, that would be quite good.

"Lord Higashino, the Tokyo area has been basically taken over. Next, I want to lead everyone on an expedition, all the way to Kyoto!"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira lowered his gaze and met the eyes of the little guy.

"Are you confident?"

Little Night Snack nodded confidently, "Victory is certain!"

“Then go. I’ll arrange for you to get a leave of absence from the school. On the secular level, Yunmeng Group will cooperate and cover your actions. Send the defeated enemies to me with Mary. I will bestow titles upon them immediately. All participants will have their monthly salaries doubled and will receive unlimited logistical support.”

Higashino paused for a moment as he spoke, “The only requirement is that you must not die. Others can start over countless times, but you only have one life now. Whether things go smoothly or not, don’t let temporary setbacks get you down.”

"My priestess cannot die so easily."

"The God is so domineering~" the little loli praised without any emotion.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira rolled his eyes at the guy speechlessly, "That's called strategy."

"Master Higashino~"

"uh-huh?"

"like!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in young girls."

"How rude of me! People grow up too!"

"Then wait until you're older before you say things like that to me."

Despite being confessed to by a girl, Higashino Akira was not happy at all.

After watching the newly energized Xiao Yexiao leave.

A soft ringing sound rang out, and Akira Higashino left the scene.

Back at Shimokitazawa's house, I pushed open the door and entered.

Kawasaki Saki hadn't gone home yet, nor had she gone to her bedroom to rest. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, covered with a thick blanket, her little head drooping as she dozed off.

The girl's head drooped down, and she was startled awake by the sound of the door opening. She looked up towards the entrance and saw that familiar figure, silently letting out a sigh of relief.

"came back?"

"Ah."

"Are you okay?"

"It's all arranged."

Are you still leaving?

"I'm going on a business trip to another city, and then I'll be going back to my hometown for the Lunar New Year. The next time we meet will probably be next year, so I'll spend some time with you first and need to replenish my Shashi energy."

Higashino Akira didn't ask any unromantic questions like why she was waiting for him instead of going to her bedroom to rest. He simply replied to the girl's gentle yet caring question and then skillfully admired the faint shyness on her face.

So cute!

Sometimes, he felt that this girl's delicate, wifely charm was just too appealing, and he could always genuinely like her.

If I hadn't taken the path I'm on now, I might have found a girl with a personality like Saki Kawasaki, gotten to know her, and spent my life together honestly.

"Where can you find that strange energy?"

Kawasaki Saki rolled her eyes at him, her pretty face slightly flushed, and she threw off the warm blanket and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

"There's half a pot of soup left from yesterday. Can we use the broth to make noodles for breakfast?"

"not too good."

"So what would you like to eat? Tell me first, because we don't have all the ingredients at home."

Akira Higashino walked into the kitchen, and Saki Kawasaki opened the refrigerator to show him, indicating that he could order the food himself, and that she would try her best to make those dishes if the ingredients were available.

But Akira Higashino didn't look inside the refrigerator. Instead, he gently pulled the girl, who was wearing loungewear and had her hair casually tied back in a neat ponytail, into his arms.
