Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Fusion?" Ziyuan was surprised.

From the information left by the previous priestesses, she naturally knew the origins of priestesses and spirits. The two were originally one, but were separated into two by the 'first priestess' a long time ago.

The evil side is the immortal demon.

The kind side, however, is that of the priestesses who have been passed down through generations.

It wouldn't be a difficult task for the priestess to seal away the demon.

However, it is very difficult to seize the power of the demon while maintaining one's own consciousness as the dominant force.

If things go wrong, after the two merge, the dominant consciousness could very well be that of the demon, while the priestess's consciousness would completely disappear.

When the time comes, the demon, having obtained its full power, will bring immense disaster to this world.

“Taking the power of the demon is very dangerous. It might cause the demon to completely lose control and destroy the world.” Ziyuan expressed her concerns: “The message my mother left behind is that I should seal the demon.”

Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and asked, "If we erase the consciousness of the demon and only retain its power, are there still risks in fusing it?"

"Erase the consciousness of the demon?" Ziyuan was taken aback.

Is it really possible to do this?

Seeing Shion's somewhat dazed expression, Yagami Yoruichi smiled and didn't press further, simply saying, "Go down now, leave everything to me."

Hearing the strong confidence in Yagami Yoruichi's words, Shion felt a sense of peace for some reason and immediately said, "Yes, thank you, Ninja-sama!"

"My name is Yagami Yoruichi, you can just call me by my name." Yagami Yoruichi said casually, leading Shion into the depths of the cave.

This is a platform formed of black rock, with molten lava flowing through the crevices, resembling an irregular chessboard.

A middle-aged man with long hair, dressed in a black robe, sat in a large chair, seemingly having waited for a long time.

Sensing their arrival, he looked up at Shion: "Miyako, you've finally come!"

"Indeed, they are favored by the Protoss."

Yagami Yoruichi sensed the aura of the 'Mouryou' and confirmed her guess.

The nature of the other's power is completely opposite to the 'shrine maiden power' within Shion's body, but upon closer inspection, there is a feeling of 'two sides of the same coin'.

Just like the power of 'Angel of Justice - Kyle' and 'Fallen Angel - Morgana'.

Hearing the demon still babbling on about its grudges with the previous priestess, Yagami Yoruichi grew increasingly impatient.

"That's enough of the nonsense."

As Yagami Yoruichi drew his Kusanagi sword, a thick black mist emerged from his body, coiling around the sword and transforming the straight-bladed katana into a dark blue double-edged greatsword with a massive hilt.

It clearly resembled the 'Blade of the Ruined King'.

As soon as Yagami Yoruichi had a thought, the black fog suddenly spread out, filling the entire cave space.

He raised his hand and drew his sword.

The massive sword pierced through the body of the 'Wanglang'.

This is not the true form of the demon, but merely a temporary 'container' for its soul.

But the black mist swirling around the blade also imprisoned the spirit of the demon.

"This is..." the demon cried out in disbelief, "What kind of power is this that can harm me?!"

The 'black fog' of the Shadow Isles contains a powerful curse, with properties that corrode life and imprison souls.

As the 'King' of the Shadow Isles, [Lord of Ruin - Folyagol] has complete control over this terrible curse.

Theoretically speaking, all the 'spirits' are subject to Feuergo's black fog.

Although the Wraith is special, it is essentially the same as its undead legion, a kind of 'undead'.

The Black Mist Domain is its natural counter.

The next instant, a dark cyan 'light arc' appeared in Yagami Yoruichi's hand.

"Soul Lock!"

Yagami Yoruichi, the Phoenix Lantern, the Woof Woof.

A beam of azure light shot out from the demon's body, and was captured by the Lamp Emperor's omen.

Only an empty shell of power and consciousness remained.

After doing all this, Yagami Yoruichi withdrew the black mist, looked at Shion who was still stunned in place beside her, and said, "Now you can. The demon has lost its self-awareness, and you can take its power."

"Really...really do this?" Ziyuan was a little scared and stammered, "Mom...Mom said that we have to seal the demon to ensure the peace of the ninja world."

"The demon is no more. By merging with its power, you will become stronger." Yagami Yoruichi, like a seductive devil, used a wisp of illusionary power to whisper in Shion's ear, "With greater power, you will be able to protect yourself and those around you when you encounter stronger enemies in the future..."

"A stronger power to protect those around me..." A hint of confusion flashed in Ziyuan's eyes as she walked towards the 'corpse' of the demon.

This is not about directly controlling Shion with illusion magic, but rather using mental suggestion to guide Shion's actions.

Recalling the abilities passed down from previous generations of priestesses, she made a gesture similar to hand seals, but the resulting hand seals were none of the known ones.

It seems to be a special ability belonging only to the lineage of priestesses.

At the same time, Ziyuan uttered a series of syllables that sounded meaningless.

As she formed hand seals and chanted incantations, Shion's 'shrine maiden power' grew stronger and stronger, her aura rising steadily.

At the same time, the chest of the demon's 'corpse' split open, and a dark purple, smoky shadow flew out and was absorbed into Ziyuan's body.

With her senses fully activated, Yagami Yoruichi carefully observed Shion devouring the power of the demon.

The two are two sides of the same coin. Now, the part belonging to the 'Wanglang' has lost its consciousness and is completely dominated by Shion's consciousness, and the fusion is very smooth.

The demonic power, filled with the aura of death and decay, fused with the vibrant power of the priestess, giving rise to a unique energy that was both intimately familiar to Yagami Yoruichi and yet carried a distinct difference.

"Natural energy? No, it's mutated natural energy..."

"Its nature is very similar to ordinary natural energy, but it also possesses the characteristics of death and life."

"After fusion, will the original characteristics still be fully preserved?"

"And this fluctuation...time?"

Yagami Yoruichi stared in surprise.

Within the special energy fused with Shion, Yagami Yoruichi sensed an aura similar to that of the "Book of Time".

And as the fusion process continued, this special aura grew stronger.

Shion's aura was also rising steadily.

He quickly broke through the limits of the "Movie" level and entered the realm of the "Super Movie" level.

After more than two hours, the fusion finally ended.

Shion's aura did not break through the 'Six Paths Level', nor even reach the peak of the Super Kage Level, and was still a step behind Yagami Yoruichi.

But compared to her two hours ago, she is completely different now.

Based solely on energy intensity, Yagami Yoruichi estimates that Shion's current level is roughly equivalent to the upper limit of 600,000 chakra.

As for the combined power of the priestess and the demon, it remains to be seen how much combat power they can unleash with this level of energy.

"This method of integration... does have aspects that we can learn from."

"I'll give it a try when I get back."

Thinking to himself, Yagami Yoruichi walked towards Shion and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

Shion raised her head and looked at Yoruichi Yagami, saying, "I seem to have awakened a very special ability, which is to see the 'past' and the 'future'."

"Oh? You can see the past and the future?" Yagami Yoruichi became interested.

Originally, Shion possessed the ability to 'prophesy,' but it was not very stable.

It seems that after merging with the power of the demon, this power has become stable, and in addition to predicting the future, it can also peek into the past.

The latter may not seem as strong at predicting the future, but it has an extremely powerful advantage in obtaining information.

“However, I can’t see your future.” Ziyuan’s eyes showed doubt: “Neither can I see your past.”

Upon hearing this, Yagami Yoruichi began to speculate.

This ability to glimpse the past and future is probably limited by one's own strength.

You cannot investigate people who are stronger than yourself.

This is just speculation, but Yagami Yoruichi is about 70-80% sure.

After probing with my senses, I found that after the fusion was completed, Ziyuan's aura had changed significantly.

But it doesn't seem to have transformed into a true 'Protoss', remaining merely a 'Protoss Favorite'.

"Is it because the accumulation is insufficient? Or is the integration incomplete?"

A question arose in Yagami Yoruichi's mind, but he did not intend to investigate it immediately. He reached out his hand to Shion and said, "Let's go, let's leave here first."

Yagami Yoruichi picked up the weak and exhausted Shion and walked towards the cave exit.

Shion looked up at Yagami Yoruichi's face, her eyes filled with gratitude and curiosity.

Back in the valley, the 'Undead Legion' outside had turned back into ordinary stone statues with the defeat of the demon.

Ziyuan's gaze swept over the stone statues, and she suddenly spoke up: "I think I can control these stone statues and give them power."

"Should we stay and give it a try?" Yagami Yoruichi asked Shion.

"Is it okay?" Ziyuan's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Then let’s stay here. I also have some things to do.” Yagami Yoruichi put down Shion, gathered the others together, and instructed, “Let’s set up camp and rest for a few days.”

Shion wants to try to control the 'Undead Legion'.

Yoruichi Yagami also wanted to take advantage of the fact that she had just observed the fusion process of Shion and Mouryou, and before the inspiration disappeared, to try to break through as soon as possible.

Chapter 248 Breakthrough to Demigod! Six Paths Level! A Heaven-Defying New Skill

On a mountaintop.

Yoruichi Yagami deliberately chose a place that was a little far from the camp.

This way, even if something unexpected happens during the breakthrough, or if a significant disturbance occurs, it won't easily affect others.

Yagami Yoruichi sat cross-legged on the open ground, his palms facing upwards, resting on his knees.

Two completely different energies emerged in his hands.

To the left, there was a ball of light, filled with a sense of 'holiness'.

To the right was a dark purple cloud of mist, exuding a gloomy and terrifying aura.

The abilities of [Angel of Justice - Kyle] and [Fallen Angel - Morgana].

Once Yagami Yoruichi has mastered the skills of these two heroes to the maximum and received the extra reward, she will naturally be able to extract the purest 'original energy' belonging to these two heroes, which contains no chakra.

Yagami Yoruichi raised his hand and pressed the ball of light and the cloud of mist together.

There was no earth-shattering commotion.

Two completely opposite forces began to slowly merge.

With the fusion of the two, the bottleneck that had troubled Yagami Yoruichi for more than ten years began to loosen.

This process is very long.

In Yagami Yoruichi's perception, it was an extremely long time, and in reality, it was not short either.

A whole night had passed, and the two forces had only merged halfway.

But at that moment, a system notification popped up.

[Rank promoted to: Demigod level.]

[Attribute cap increased to: 9999999.]

Boom!

The energy that had been suppressed for so long by the upper limit of his rank began to surge violently within Yagami Yoru.

Yagami Yoruichi's stats were also increasing at a visible rate.
