The gods descend into reality

Through the gaps, I've observed quite a few strange beings, some of which are comparable to Gensokyo itself.

Tomie is an eerie creature capable of regenerating from a drop of blood.

There's also Sadako, who spread like a virus through videotapes.

I have, of course, studied their methods of investigation.

However, they gained nothing.

If humans are normal cells, and these monsters are germs...

So the current situation is probably that the planetary consciousness, which represents the immune system, is personally taking action to expel these monsters from itself. Although it is still putting up a stubborn fight, being expelled is only a matter of time.

These anomalies are like cancer cells; they are all born from humanity itself, possessing an attribute that can deceive the world's consciousness, implanting themselves into the world like a virus.

Furthermore, since it does not require spiritual energy, it is naturally able to survive tenaciously during the Dharma-ending Age.

Few would agree to transform the existence of Gensokyo into such creatures.

If one cannot even preserve their own consciousness and only follows specific steps to kill, then it is not much different from death.

Even if they were to die, I believe many people in Gensokyo would die in their most beautiful and dignified way, rather than becoming some unknown monster.

Among all the monsters, Tomie's immortality is the most terrifying, and Sadako's ability to spread is the most frightening.

But according to this black fox demon, countless such strange creatures exist outside the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.

It can reside within the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, thereby consuming them.

It can even spread through emotions, regardless of time and space, and most importantly, it is extremely powerful, which is even more terrifying!

Even Yukari Yakumo herself felt a little creeped out.

"Wow~ So the outside world is really that powerful. But if that's the case, why don't you just break in?" Tu Shan Ya Ya asked, looking puzzled.

"Do you think they don't want to break in? They just don't dare."

The black-clad fox spirit girl scoffed.

"Don't you dare?"

"Someone once drew a circle, and that became the inside and outside of the circle we know today. Otherwise, where would the safe environment inside the circle be?" the black fox demon girl sneered.

"Watch your tone!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya jumped up and punched the black fox demon hard. The black fox demon was immediately filled with anger and looked like it was about to attack.

She glanced at Xiao Se, then at Athena, then at Scáthach and Yakumo Yukari.

The tears that were about to fall were forced back down.

Can't be bothered.

What terrible things have I done to deserve this?! Why did I end up in such a awful place?!

"Then, who drew the circle?" Yukari Yakumo continued to ask.

The strangeness and power of the creatures outside the circle were far beyond her expectations, but it was precisely because of this that the power of the person who drew the circle was even more evident. Even Yakumo Yukari had some of her second brother's guesses about how humans and demons could coexist harmoniously in that world.

"The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom".

"pat~"

Yukari Yakumo, who had been holding a women's folding fan, couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, her face full of astonishment.

"Zi also knows about that monkey?"

Xiao Se asked tentatively.

"How could I not know? I'm very familiar with the world of Eastern mythology. After all, there's that old geezer in Gensokyo who spends all day fishing at Lake Misty. When Gensokyo was first established, that old geezer didn't lift a finger. How could his fishing hook be straight...?"

Yukari Yakumo seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, but her voice gradually grew softer and softer, sounding more like a little girl constantly complaining to her parents.

"Cough cough~"

Xiao Se coughed twice, interrupting Yakumo Yukari's self-talk.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You're not talking about Taigong Wang, are you?"

"That's right, it's that person who conferred the title of God. And we've heard that the old guy has some inheritance left over from the time of the Conferred Gods, which he wants to leave specifically to humans with pure Chinese blood."

Yakumo Yukari lightly touched her red lips with her index finger and said seductively.

Desolate...

"Hey, hey, hey, your intention to lure me into Gensokyo is way too obvious!"

I, Xiao Se, am making this clear today: no matter how much you talk, even if Gensokyo becomes my reserve harem and Reimu gains morals, I will rather die outside and turn to ashes than go to that Gensokyo where people's morals spontaneously turn into negative numbers!

"Grand Tutor, you probably aren't used to the food in Gensokyo. When we go back later, I'll prepare some local specialties for you to take with you."

Yakumo Yukari...

Scáthach...

Are those righteous and stern words at the beginning just empty platitudes to make yourself think you still have integrity?

O man!

Sometimes it's really scary how you can deceive yourself!

"My lords, may I leave now?"

Black Fox asked tremblingly.

My current state is very strange. There is no barrier separating me from the outside world, but at this moment I can't sense the presence of the Black Fox Lady.

You must understand that the entire Black Fox Clan is an incarnation of that Lady, but at this moment, I have broken free from the concept of an incarnation and am closer to an independent individual. This means that as long as I leave this place, I will be truly free!

"You should leave."

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Black Fox was overjoyed.

"You think I would say that? You wish!"

Before the black fox demon could even react with a look of utter disbelief, Xiao Se tossed his hand into his own Netherworld.

"So, Ya Ya, can you tell me your real reason for coming here?" Xiao Se straightened his expression to become more serious, and then asked with an expression that said he had already seen through everything.

"Where...where is it? Okay, actually it's a competition for the younger generation that the One Qi Alliance and the Demon Alliance specially organized to select someone who can coordinate the power of the two races to fight against the Black Fox."

Tu Shan Ya Ya resigned herself to her fate.

"You demons should be far more powerful than humans, surely the Four Great Demon Emperors are far superior—"

"Where did these four demon emperors come from? Shi Kuan doesn't care about anything, and Bei Shan doesn't get involved in human-demon matters at all. I saw Fan Yunfei from Sha Hu's side a few days ago; he's just a stupid mongrel."

Most importantly, that little bastard Dongfang Yuechu actually betrayed us and sided with the Yi Qi Dao Alliance. Once this is over, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!" Tu Shan Ya Ya said through gritted teeth.

The next moment, as if her expression had changed, Tu Shan Ya Ya looked at Xiao Se with teary eyes.

"Brother Xiao Se, you will help me, and help Tu Shan, right?"

Xiao Se covered his face.

She's even calling him "brother" now! Before, she just called him Xiao Se, okay? This little loli's cuteness really does make you feel like you're about to call him "medic" after your health bar is emptied!

However, I never expected that such a large deviation would occur because of my own actions.

It seems that things are still developing in a positive direction.

With the human and demon races united in advance and prepared, the group of black foxes shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Okay, let's go over after lunch."

Looking at Tu Shan Ya Ya in front of him, who seemed to be saying, "If you don't come over here, I'll cry," he felt a sense of desolation.

It would be nice to go and see how the world has changed!

"I knew Xiao Se, you're the best! I love you the most!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya jumped up and down with joy, then her cheeks flushed red as if she had remembered something.

"Oh dear, I think I've heard something terrible."

The sleazy voice came from behind, making Tu Shan Ya Ya glare at it in annoyance.

"You idiot, what brings you here today?"

It was Hao Yun from the Demon Management Bureau. As soon as Hao Yun saw Xiao Se, he ran over with tears in his eyes.

"Boss, help! I...I've turned into a monster!"

As Hao Yun ran, he shouted, and at the same time, flames that looked like magma slowly emerged from his body, making him look like he was wearing a fiery veil, which was exceptionally beautiful.

"Zizi~"

The next moment, the sound of the flames being extinguished rang out, and blocks of ice slowly spread over Hao Yun's body, instantly extinguishing the originally brilliant flames.

Hao Yun was soaked to the bone and looked utterly pathetic.

"Idiot, what's so great about controlling fire? My ice is the most powerful!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya put her hands on her hips, wrinkled her delicate nose, and said with a smug look.

Hao Yun...

So am I discussing with you whether ice or fire is stronger?

This is outrageous!

Chapter 179 Mushroom Soup from the Magic Forest

"Am I discussing with you the question of whether ice or fire is more powerful? Why are you being so serious—oh dear!"

"Big Sister, I was wrong."

Hao Yun covered his head and lay quietly on the ground. A pair of small, white feet were stepping on his body from behind. Although the other person's size was completely disproportionate to his own, it seemed as if he could break free and kill the other person with a little effort.

but--

Hao Yun actually knew.

Most people who think they can fight back are young people who haven't experienced the harsh realities of society; they would never have such thoughts!

After all, we're already mature adults in society!
