Great, we're doomed now!

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. I still need to interrogate this good-for-nothing. Please wait aside for now, Miss Mustard."

Xiao Hei calmly reassured a rabbit carrying a paddle, one of the few prison guards who was still lucid, and also a named character in Japanese ghost stories.

Just as the big cat was about to turn around, it thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Before this... what about Ichiko and Niko?"

"Zashiki-warashi?"

The rabbit stretched out its leg and scratched itself: "Lord Hozuki, as soon as you disappeared, they also disappeared. We thought they went with you."

"I see... But they should be fine. They're homeless anyway, so if they want to hide, no one can find them." Xiao Hei was still quite concerned, but didn't dwell on it any further.

Ichiko and Niko are two Zashiki-warashi (children) that Kuro adopted during his time as an aide. Although their magical powers are not very strong, their racial characteristics make them appear and disappear unpredictably and they do not stay in one place for long.

Since the "adoptive father" has disappeared, he has most likely left the Ten Kings Hall and may even have gone to the mortal world to look for someone.

With a slight sigh, Xiao Hei's expression changed, and he turned his head with an extremely sinister look towards the culprit (tentative name)—

"Hey, what exactly is going on? Don't tell me you don't know anything!"

"Alas!!!"

Yama's head returned to normal size and was supported by blue telekinesis. Ye Shou remained on the throne, enjoying the Rakshasa women's shoulder and leg massages while watching this good show.

To make it more exciting, he even preserved the head and infused it with a lot of dark energy.

He leaned against the armrest, looking lazily at the scene: "First of all, what is the root cause of the chaos in Hell? It can't possibly be because you, Yama, were drunk, can it?"

"Of course not! Believe me, I don't know what happened either!"

Before this, I had been in a daze, and I'm so grateful to Mr. Bayeri for waking me up!

Enma shook his head violently, looking at Xiao Hei for help: "You know me, even after you disappeared I still worked diligently and didn't dare to slack off for a moment... I just drank a little too much divine wine at the celebration banquet... and then I lost consciousness."

"Divine wine?" Ye Shou looked at Xiao Hei.

The big cat sighed deeply, as if it were human: "Most likely a drunkard... the kind Susanoo used to seduce Yamata no Orochi. There's nothing else that can make Yama lose his mind."

“Since ancient times, getting evil spirits drunk and then killing them has been a specialty of samurai.” Ye Shou laughed. “It’s clear that you really have no resistance to this stuff. Lord Enma, don’t worry about it—Minamoto no Yorimitsu did it too.”

"Yeah, you can't blame me entirely, right? Besides, I could feel a higher power secretly manipulating things while I was drunk, which caused all ten kings, including me, to be unable to sober up."

King Enma said solemnly, "As far as I know, the only one in Hell who can do this is the Queen of the Underworld—Izanami!"

"She should have gone through menopause a long time ago. She seems to have become much more peaceful in recent years, so she shouldn't be so extreme."

Xiao Hei frowned: "If the opponent is the Queen of the Underworld, things will be quite tricky."

Can we win?

Ye Shou's mouth tightened, and he almost blurted out the flag.

"cough!"

Ye Shou waved his hand, signaling the beautiful Rakshasa women to step back, and said seriously, "According to what you said, the Queen of the Underworld is not a troublemaker, so someone must have influenced her."

Regardless of the truth, once we reach the Underworld and see the true self, everything will be resolved.

"That's right!"

Xiao Hei nodded. As a spirit, it instinctively felt it couldn't defeat Izanami, but joining forces with Bayeri would be a completely different story...

After all, Ye Shou is a "human living in the present" and is not under the jurisdiction of Hell. Izanami only has the home-field advantage, but does not have absolute rule suppression.

"By the way, what kind of banquet was it that got you all so drunk?"

Xiao Hei glanced around the hall and noticed that the other members of the Ten Kings were not present; it was mainly his subordinates who had gathered there. A sense of unease arose in his heart.

Upon hearing this question, Yama, the King of Hell, opened his eyes wide, while the other evil spirits lowered their heads—making Xiao Hei even more suspicious.

"It's nothing!" Enma said immediately, "Just a year-end party!"

"Hmm?" Xiao Hei narrowed his eyes, clearly disbelieving, but now was not the time to dwell on that.

Ye Shou, perched high above, looked left and right. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He beckoned with his finger towards a certain spot, and the giant bronze mirror that had been located on one side of the main hall immediately shrank and flew over.

"Little Black, you mentioned that there's a magical artifact in the Yama's Palace that can see into the past? Is it this mirror? I'm quite curious, how do you use it?"

Before Xiao Hei could answer, Ye Shou fiddled with the mirror for a while, and suddenly a beam of light shone out from the mirror, which then "accidentally" shone on Yama.

[Hahaha! It's my treat today! I'm free now!]

[Your Majesty, aren't you worried about Lord Hozuki?]

[Anyway, jailers can all be reborn, so even if he accidentally feeds the Yamata no Orochi, it's fine... Until he returns, the world is ours!]

Hahaha~

Yes, yes~

—A group of ghosts and gods were projected into the void, displaying a scene of unrestrained and dissolute behavior.

Upon seeing this, the hall immediately fell silent, even the sound of breathing was suppressed to the point of being barely audible. In particular, Yama, the King of Hell, was frozen in place, not daring to even move his eyebrows.

Xiao Hei: "..."

Jinglong and Beelzebub looked at each other. The Fly King, who always loved to pick fights with the big cats, was now keeping his eyes down and remained silent.

"Huh? How did it start up by itself?"

Only Ye Shou remained calm, reaching out to adjust the mirror: "By the way, how do you turn this thing off?"

He seemed to have made another mistake. The screen suddenly jumped to show new characters: a group of glamorous women, waving long sleeves and dancing gracefully in the center of the banquet, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

【Oh my! Isn't that the courtesan from Tamamo-no-Mae's shop?】

[King Yama, this must have swindled you out of a lot of money, right?]

【The King is so kind to us!】

[I swear to be loyal to King Yama to the death!]

No problem, no problem, money is nothing~

In the scene, the obese, black-faced Yama laughs and takes out a stack of bankbooks from his sleeve.

[I'm using Hozuki-kun's retirement savings!]

Wow~

When he returns, we'll tell him the system has been updated and he didn't submit the materials on time.

Hahaha~

Xiao Hei: "..."

King Enma roared, "Hozuki-kun, let me explain! I had already drunk the divine sake and was out of my mind when I went to find the courtesan!"

Absolutely not! It was definitely not because I was emboldened by alcohol and put my usual thoughts into action!

Hozuki-kun, don't be impulsive!

We have a deep friendship; do you still remember everything that happened in the past?

"In the past? You mean..."

Bang!

The black cat, with its black face, smashed a punch into Yama's head, directly breaking through the floor of the Ten Kings Hall.

"To hell with your past! Go to hell and eat shit!"

P.S.: There really is a hell of excrement and urine.

Chapter 367: How Did I Go From a Hero to a High-Difficulty Boss? (4K Bonus Chapter)

A mere Yama is nothing. Although according to the "routine," one would need to first unseal the Ksitigarbha statue and use the power of the Bodhisattva to launch a special attack on it to defeat the opponent, that's the approach of top students from regular universities.

Wild Dark Arcane creatures like Darkshine are always crushed by sheer numbers!

Is it really possible that Ootengu is no match for the Enma monster?

— Shout out to hell.

"Roar!"

"Everyone be careful!"

Jinglong issued a warning and leaped backward with all his might. The spot where he had been standing was instantly destroyed by the heavy impact. The hard rock became as fragile as sand, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

All of this was caused by a thick, train-like snake tail, its metallic scales covered in large patches of moss. Wherever it passed, the temperature would automatically drop, whipping up a cold, strong wind, like the celestial phenomenon before an impending storm.

Looking up along the tail, its long and enormous body stands like a mountain, with eight tails blocking all the passages, single-handedly holding the exit of this hellish realm.

Further up, its abdomen, constantly rubbing and grinding against the ground, was covered in festering, rotten flesh. With the slightest movement, large amounts of highly toxic pus would flow out. Its thick, pillar-like body began to fork at the top, and its relatively slender neck had a gaping maw that could swallow a building whole. Its vertical pupils, like red berries, were filled with resentment and curses, and just one look at it would send chills down your spine!

"Ye Shou!"

When the samurai saw Ye Shou being targeted by the snake head, the sprayed sewage instantly engulfed the area, and he couldn't help but call out.

The next moment, the figure of the Dark Giant appeared in mid-air, crossed its hands on its forehead, and a particularly dazzling light flashed in the hell. The silver lines on its body were replaced with dark blue, and then its whole body was enveloped in a faint blue light, and its figure grew larger as it faced the wind!

Before long, [Bayeli] reached a height of 150 meters. Although it was still not comparable to an enemy that was 200 meters tall, it was no longer an insurmountable gap.

"Hoo~~!!"

Upon seeing this suddenly appearing enemy, the giant snake was clearly startled and immediately launched an even more ferocious attack!

Whew, whiff, whiff!

Ye Shou dodged several jets of highly poisonous water. He calmly looked at the enemy before him, and at the same time reached behind him—

"Okay! I'll do it!"

Jinglong laughed heartily, leaped into the air, and his body transformed into a beam of white light, merging into the giant's body. Then, a long sword materialized from Bayeli's hand.

"What an honor it is for us ronin to fight the legendary Yamata no Orochi!"

——Yama no Orochi.

Top Japanese mythical creatures to eat!

This is probably the most famous monster in the Far East, the embodiment of storms and tsunamis. Later, due to his love of drinking, he was tricked by Susanoo and had his head cut off while he was asleep.

Susanoo established his position through this achievement, transforming from a irritable and rude bad boy into a responsible war god.
