As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

She hadn't taken it seriously at first, but the instant after they passed each other, she suddenly stopped and stood motionless on the wall.

Yuzuru tilted his head and saw a ghost dressed as a samurai hanging behind the car. It was wearing ancient armor and had a long sword at its waist. However, it was facing away from Yuzuru, so he could not see its specific appearance. It was like a kite, always keeping a certain distance from the vehicle, as if it were a guard.

That must be an evil spirit.

Yuzuru slowly turned around, looking in the direction the car had disappeared. All the evil spirits in this world should have vanished, so why is this thing still here?

Realizing something was wrong, she ran quickly towards that direction from the top of the wall, a glimmer of hope igniting in her heart.

"Are you sure it's that snake?"

Inside the car, a childish voice came through, but the tone was very steady, creating a sense of contradiction.

"It's confirmed, our ancestor is indeed that being from mythology!"

There was a middle-aged man and a four- or five-year-old boy in the back seat of the vehicle.

At that moment, the middle-aged man, with a respectful expression, said to the little boy:

"The first clues appeared in the Boso Peninsula, and then its presence was discovered in Yokohama, Shizuoka, and Nagoya."

It wasn't that they were particularly well-informed, but rather that there was a clear record of deaths, like footprints on an asphalt road, extremely distinct, forming a straight line. Now they had arrived in Kyoto, but were still hundreds of miles away from the legendary mythical land of Izumo.

“A beast is a beast. Even if it dies once, its demonic nature remains unchanged.” The boy glanced indifferently at the reports. His eyes were ancient and weathered, which did not match his physical appearance and age.

He was meditating when he was woken up and told that something extraordinary was about to pass by.

The middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "But ancestor, in the legend, didn't it have eight heads and eight tails?"

The boy shook his head: "It perished once, and now it may have encountered an accident during its rebirth. I can't say for sure right now."

"You don't know either?" The middle-aged man was very surprised. In his mind, he had always thought that the other party was an omniscient being.

"My wisdom has been severely worn down over these thousand years of reincarnation," the boy sighed.

His true spirit awakened from his offspring's body, only to find that his body in this life was still that of a child. He felt extremely helpless. Even though his innate extraordinary characteristics made him a superhuman, it was still unknown how much of his strength he could unleash.

"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to meet it in your current state?" Hiroto Abe asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry, we’re both in a slump. He can’t kill me. If he really wants to make a move, he’s less likely to win than we are.” The boy shook his head. “Any other news? Keep telling me.”

Hiroto Abe hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a file.

"This information came from the peninsula, given to us by the authorities. It says that a new god has been born there."

Hiroto Abe examined it repeatedly.

Their inside information indicated that the Yamata no Orochi appeared on the peninsula and then mysteriously retreated, heading towards Izumo.

However, the file clearly states that a newly born deity caused chaos, devoured many people, and the police found a group of extraordinary individuals who killed the deity and quelled the trouble.

……

……

……

One chapter owed

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu! Chapter 53: Shikigami

This is the official explanation.

Upon hearing this, the boy frowned, noticing that it was a message from a long time ago.

The environment at that time was probably not yet conducive to the emergence of deities, right?

Even if some powerful deities can cross between the two realms, it is only by using the gap in the spirit realm. The mortal world is still essentially a place devoid of spirits. If the spirit realm does not return, then all the deities will be like fish in the rising tide, stranded here after the tide recedes, and then scorched to death by the sun.

This process will only take three to five years.

On the contrary, if gods are born in the present world, it means that they have escaped the environment of spiritual deprivation and can live on in the world. However, in this case, they will also be triggered by the opportunity of reincarnation and awaken directly.

Hiroto Abe had been watching his expression closely. Seeing the strange look on his face, he assumed his ancestor was dissatisfied with them and immediately lowered his head in shame, saying, "This news was leaked by the authorities to confuse the public. There must be other inside information, but this is all we can know." They were a declining faction, especially in the modern technological society, where they failed to catch the tail end of the times, and their influence was far less than before. They didn't even have a reliable source of information, and now they felt extremely ashamed in front of this resurrected ancestor.

The boy waved his hand, saying that there was nothing to say about unworthy descendants.

When he left, he was at the height of his power, propelling his family to its peak. But now all that's left is his underwear. His total assets consist of a few mansions in the capital, a thousand acres of land, and a few hills. Everything else has been squandered, and his family members are struggling to make ends meet.

Fortunately, he didn't ask for much; he just wanted to preserve the true essence of the culture.

With the return of the gods, he too has been revived, and the Abe family will return to its rightful place.

He carefully examined the crime scene photos in the file. These photos were taken by the police afterward and used as evidence to report to their superiors.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything, but he could sense the lingering stench of filth.

The Yamata no Orochi is a symbol of floods and was once worshipped by sea people who did not ask for blessings but only for protection from disasters, hoping that they could capture it and return safely without being swallowed by the sea.

He quickly pieced together a line.

"After the Yamata no Orochi died and was reborn, it came to that island, but suffered a great loss and had no choice but to retreat. Along the way, it ate many people to recover from its injuries, and it was on its way back to Izumo..."

What he was most concerned about was who had defeated Orochi.

Although the person who made the announcement was a shaman named Takeda Mie, he never believed it after seeing the photo. Although his wisdom and knowledge had been worn down, the eyes of a strong person were still there, and he could see that Takeda Mie was not a psychic, and even if she had magic power, she could not defeat a god.

Could it be that a very expensive instrument was used?

But that's unlikely, otherwise it would require the blood and souls of hundreds of people to fill this void.

Yuzuru Nishimiya followed behind. Her senses were extremely sharp in the darkness, and she could vaguely hear the sounds inside the car, but she couldn't understand them, so she had to observe from the shadows first.

The vehicle sped out of Kyoto, veered off course, and finally came to a stop in the middle of nowhere.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, but a thin layer of clouds obscured the light, making the sky appear hazy and fuzzy, giving the land a very dark and poorly visible appearance.

Yuzuru Nishimiya followed all the way and hid in the bushes a hundred meters away. She was puzzled, but before she could think about it, she suddenly sensed a huge creature approaching at the edge of her perception. The creature's aura was very oppressive.

Nishimiya Yuzuru focused her gaze, and the darkness could not obstruct her vision. She saw a python as thick as a bucket rapidly slithering towards her. It was noteworthy that it was not moving on the ground, but floating in the sky, like the legendary Teng Snake.

Moreover, she noticed that the snake was in a half-section state; it should have been twenty or thirty meters long, but now it was only ten meters long. The wound was cleanly severed, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.

Nearly.

Nishimiya Yuzuru concealed her darkness. The snake passed by her from fifty or sixty meters away without noticing anything amiss. It came to the vehicle and stared coldly at the two humans in front of it.

Abe no Seimei and Abe no Boruto had already gotten off the carriage. The latter followed behind the former like an attendant. He had no talent, so he could not see the Yamata no Orochi. But this was Abe no Seimei’s intention. Otherwise, if a disciple with spiritual vision had come, he would most likely have been intimidated by its ferocity and left behind hidden dangers.

But Hiroto Abe knew that his legendary ancestor was about to meet a mythical creature, and he was extremely nervous.

Abe no Seimei chuckled softly, "Lord Orochi, it's been so many years. How come you've become so disheveled?"

He looks young, but speaks with an air of maturity.

The Yamata no Orochi spoke in a deep, human voice: "Those who blocked my path are all dead."

Along its journey, all the gods avoided it. Unexpectedly, someone blocked its way and spoke arrogantly in front of it. If it were in its old temper, it would have whipped the person to death with its tail long ago.

Abe no Seimei smiled, saying, "You still think you're the immortal being you were back then? Times have changed, Orochi-sama. You don't want to be asleep for many years to come, do you?"

"Who can kill me!" The serpent's eyes were terrifying.

Even Amaterasu was helpless against it, because the cost of killing it was too great. Moreover, powerful beings like it were rare, and its complete demise would be a great loss.

Its voice was deep and frightening, "I know you, Abe no Seimei, an Onmyoji from the late period of the times. You have some talent, but that's all. You've been reincarnated, and instead of hiding to recover your strength, you dare to appear in front of me! The soul of a supernatural being is worth ten thousand evil spirits, and there are no side effects. Eating you might restore my divine body."

Yuzuru Nishimiya was extremely shocked when he overheard those two names, and he was stunned.

Her original intention was to find some knowledgeable Onmyoji, but she accidentally encountered a being from mythology and legends, which she found very dreamlike.

However, she was very rational. The closer it got to this point, the less she dared to make any rash moves, for fear of being discovered.

Abe no Seimei remained unfazed: "In the past, I wouldn't have dared to stand before you. But times have changed. Given your personality, this is probably the limit of what you can say. Is it because of your injuries that you dare not make a move?"

"...What do you want with me!" The eight-headed serpent's tone was terrifying. A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. If its divine body were intact, how could it have ended up like this?

Abe no Seimei spread his hands and said rather elegantly, "Then let's get straight to the point: become my shikigami."

The Yamata no Orochi was immediately enraged. At this level, even Amaterasu had to give it face. Who was Abe no Seimei? When it was active on this island, Abe no Seimei's ancestors were still playing with wood.

Its body was ferocious, it shook its snake head and opened its mouth to spew out a beam of light, but the evil spirit warrior also sprang up and drew his sword to fight back.

The two collided, and the evil spirit was clearly no match for it. Although it withstood the attack, it was also thrown away.

Suddenly, a strange wind swept across the flat ground, carrying sand and stones in all directions.

The giant serpent was enraged and roared at the moon, wanting to devour Abe no Seimei alive.

But Abe no Seimei took a step back, took out a white stone from his pocket, and used his magic to activate a hidden mysterious power. A trace of blood rose on the surface of the white stone, and then it bloomed with a chilling killing intent.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Fifty-Four: The Legend of the Shadow of the Past

The chilling killing intent caused the temperature in the surrounding area to drop several degrees.

Abe no Seimei chanted incantations, mobilizing his magical power to completely transform it into a blood-red stone. Then, a peculiar scene appeared in the void: an endless mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

This scene is terrifying; it possesses a real power.

The moment the Yamata no Orochi made contact, it was as if it had crashed into a mountain, with a loud boom and the void trembled slightly.

Although it was unharmed, it was covered in dust and looked rather disheveled.

The Yamata no Orochi immediately recognized it as the Sessho-seki, the transformed form of a powerful being of the same level as itself after death.

Logically speaking, powerful beings like them would be difficult to kill, but that one violated a taboo, attempting to seize faith, usurp the country, and change the world during that turbulent end of mythology, thus igniting a war of gods.

In the end, she perished completely, but countless people died because of her, and all her blood and souls were sealed in a stone.

This is a special item; although it is not a tool, its effects are more mysterious and powerful.

That period was extremely chaotic, with frequent wars. The Sesshōseki mysteriously disappeared into the past, and many gods were searching for it. Even Amaterasu ordered that if the killing intent inside the Sesshōseki could be purified, it could elevate a great god to the level of a god-king.

Yes, Abe no Seimei also participated in the war, and was a key player.

"Do you think this will stop me?"

Its voice was deep and terrifying, and its body exuded a foul power that instantly caused vegetation to rot and decay, with the effects reaching far and wide.

However, Abe no Seimei waved his hand to create a barrier to resist this unclean power, while simultaneously mobilizing the killing intent within the Sesshoseki to counteract the aura of the Yamata no Orochi.

"This is really a headache. If my twelve shikigami were still alive and hadn't perished during that time, they might be able to fight you." Abe no Seimei sighed. Although it was just a battle of weaklings, Orochi was a level above him in strength. With only a samurai shikigami summoned from the ancestral land, he really couldn't withstand it.

"Since you're unwilling, let's change the subject," the legendary Onmyoji said nonchalantly.
