The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"Hmm...maybe I could plant a vast sea of ​​flowers on this side of the river, and name it something like 'Lycoris Radiata'..."

His figure landed on the banks of the Sanzu River. After glancing thoughtfully at the dark brown soil mixed with black and yellow at his feet, Shi Bai took the hand of a certain little girl and walked slowly into the unknown darkness ahead.

He wanted to personally send the other person to their death.

The transformation from a monster to a god of the underworld is not something that can be accomplished simply. After the underworld was opened, the first being to step into the afterlife was the one who opened the underworld.

After giving everything to the underworld, she will be reborn there as the god of the underworld—Yama.

At that time, because she was a weak demon who did not deserve to have a name, she would have a name of her own.

That's a name destined to be etched in the history of the underworld... Shiki Eiki Amazanado.

In reality, this path to the afterlife is only for those who have passed away, but because he was really worried about a certain little girl walking such a long journey alone, Shi Bai insisted on accompanying her on the final journey.

"The waters of the River of Oblivion... Legend has it that those who drink from the River of Oblivion will forget their past lives. Would you like to drink it?"

Looking at the bowl of water in the River of Oblivion, which was slightly murky but gave the impression of being exceptionally clear, Shi Bai smiled and asked the little girl beside him.

"...Brother, you have a way, right?"

After a rather complex internal struggle, as if she had made some kind of decision, the little girl looked up.

“If I were to do something like that, my sins would only increase, but I really don’t want to forget it completely… just this once.”

She nodded very seriously.

"So you really don't know how to bargain. I rarely agree to things for others, and you actually asked me to do something so trivial... It's like asking a peerless swordsman to use his unparalleled swordsmanship to peel an apple for you."

After saying these words with a deep sigh, Shi Bai shook the bowl of water from the River of Oblivion in his hand before handing it back to the girl beside him.

"Drink up. I'll come see you when I have time. You must strive to become a qualified Yama..."

"But I don't want to see you among the sinners I'm in charge of!!"

Without hesitation, he drank the bowl of water from the River of Oblivion in one gulp. The little girl made a face at him, then quickly turned and ran towards the darkness that was completely shrouded in thick fog.

"You can't go any further, brother. This is enough. Oh, and could you please apologize to my sister for me..."

The little girl's last words vanished into the thick darkness.

"So, can't you be a little more honest at this final stage? If you're scared, just say so, instead of being so coy..."

Looking at the faint traces of tears on the ground, Shi Bai sighed softly, then turned around to look at a certain spot behind him, his tone instantly turning extremely cold.

"Shouldn't you be coming out by now? You've been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"

Legend has it that Youmu is actually a young boy.jpg

P.S.: Wait a minute, there's another chapter coming.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Goddess of Hell

"I'm not so much tired, but I don't quite understand the point of what you did."

As a slightly inorganic female voice rang out, a girl with shoulder-length red hair appeared in front of Shi Bai.

"Furthermore, you have violated more than a dozen rules of the underworld, and your sins are constantly increasing."

"If you're so capable, then kill me completely first."

Looking at the girl in front of him, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and Shi Bai spoke softly.

"As a symbiotic deity born at the same time as the birth of the underworld, you should be able to kill me in the underworld, right?"

"For an unkillable being, such an approach is meaningless."

A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes, and the red-haired girl shook her head, her voice still carrying that somewhat inorganic quality.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hecatel Lapislazuli, the god who rules and represents the underworld."

"Hecate...?"

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Shi Bai finally found some remnants of information about the being in front of him in a corner of his memory.

Hecatel Lapislazuli, the goddess of the underworld.

Like Junko, she is an exceptionally powerful character in the Touhou Project. Her cute attribute is that she is barefoot, and she is also the most fashionable in the Touhou Project. Her ability is to have three bodies... What kind of weird ability is that?

Looking at Heka, who was dressed almost entirely in imitation of his own clothes, Shi Bai couldn't help but frown.

"Why aren't you wearing a T-shirt and a skirt? Why aren't you wearing a ball on your head? I can't recognize you at all, you're not fashionable at all."

"T-shirts and skirts? Balls? Fashion? What are those things?"

Due to someone's peculiar thought process, Heca's face clearly showed confusion.

"My skateboard shoes, so stylish, so fashionable... Wait, you're not wearing shoes. So, going barefoot was already a habit back then?"

Looking at the other person's bizarre and appalling outfit, Shi Bai's brows furrowed even deeper.

"If you don't know anything about fashion, I'll throw you a few fashion magazines later so you can study them yourself. Now let's get down to business... What were you doing following me around like that?"

"...You, you have violated the rules of the underworld."

After a long while, Heka finally came back to his previous words, seemingly quite conflicted, and looked at him before speaking.

"According to the rules of the underworld, what you just did..."

"I've broken the rules countless times, you don't need to make such a big deal out of this little thing, do you?"

Slightly impatient, Shi Bai interrupted the other person and looked at them.

"Yes, I broke the rules of the Underworld. So what are you going to do to me? If you're going to fight, then fight. What are you doing dragging this out? Are you trying to build up your ultimate attack over time?"

“It is my duty to punish those who break the rules, and in serious cases, send them to hell to be punished… but I don’t think I can do that.”

Looking at the man in front of her, Heca shook her head hesitantly.

"Immortality is a taboo in this world; it is the greatest sin. I have a premonition that the newly established hell cannot contain you. Can you tell me why?"

"The reason? The reason is that I can't stand being threatened. If you really piss me off, I'll just flip the table and everyone will be finished. Destroying the world is something that's incredibly easy for me."

Turning his head to look in the direction where the little girl had left, Shi Bai spoke softly.

"I am indeed a taboo in this world, but does the world dare to target me? So even if the world itself dislikes me, it can't get rid of me, so it can only endure it."

"Aren't you afraid that your sins will keep piling up?"

Hearing Shi Bai's words, Heca's face instead showed a hint of curiosity.

“If I owe a thousand yuan, I’ll be anxious. If I owe ten thousand yuan, I’ll work hard to pay it off. If I owe a hundred thousand yuan, I’ll borrow money to pay it off. But if I owe a million, ten million, or a hundred million yuan… well, I can’t pay it off anyway, so why should I worry about it?”

Turning back, Shi Bai calmly uttered the most offensive words.

"The more lice you have, the less it itches; the more debt you have, the less you worry—that's the principle. I have no interest in money; money is just a number to me. My biggest regret is founding... well, I can't say that."

"........."

Heca found himself increasingly unable to understand what the person in front of him was saying.

"Don't understand? If you don't understand, then I'll put it in simpler terms."

Shi Bai glanced at Heca in front of him and spoke coldly.

"If Shiki suffers any grievances or is bullied by you, although I cannot destroy the Underworld out of consideration for her feelings, I can still cause some minor damage."

"As the first Yama in the underworld, her status is equal to mine. There is no so-called superior-subordinate relationship between us. I respect everything about her."

Heca frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of her as she answered.

"And are you really going to recklessly break the established rules?"

"I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will eliminate them completely. I don't think I ever said I was a good person from the beginning, did I?"

With a pursed lip, Shi Bai turned around and walked back the way he came.

"So, stop harping on this... or do you believe I'll make hundreds or thousands of Hellgates and throw them around for you to see? To be honest, I'm not in a good mood right now..."

"Wait, would you like me to take you on a tour of Hell?"

Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Heca, who was in a state of extreme inner conflict, quickly called out to them.

"You'd be very interested in Hell, wouldn't you?"

"Hell? A place where the dead, judged for their sins, are punished?"

Shi Bai raised an eyebrow slightly and turned around.

"Aren't the underworld and hell the same place?"

"The underworld is the underworld, and hell is hell. How can the two be equated?"

Heca glanced at the man in front of her with some curiosity and then spoke.

"Hell exists as an adjunct to the underworld. Without the underworld, hell would cease to exist, and without hell, the sinners of the underworld would have nowhere to go... Let me take you there to see it. I hope that after you see it, you will slightly correct your thinking and stop adding more sin to your body..."

After thinking for a moment, Heca nodded again.

"If I have to run around all the time for your sake, it will be a lot of trouble, super, super trouble."

—She deliberately emphasized the word "super".

"But Hell is empty now, isn't it?"

Shi Bai glanced at the red-haired girl in front of him with a slightly strange expression, his face expressionless.

"Are you going to choose the person in charge of Hell from among the dead?"

"No, we already have the most suitable person to manage Hell."

Heca shook his head.

“Previously, the Demon King, the god of the demon race, found me.”

"She is willing to lead her demon race to suppress hell for eternity."

P.S.: I'm finally feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be offering a reward for at least three chapters, with expected update times in the afternoon, evening, and early morning.

As is customary, tickets

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Goddess Who Hates Trouble

After the dead are judged, those who are innocent go to the afterlife, while those who are guilty are sentenced to hell and become vengeful spirits.

If the underworld is where the living go after death, then hell is where sinners go to receive punishment after death.

"However, in my opinion, Hell should be a super-power-based world where anyone with strength, regardless of race, can thrive, while the weak and defeated will have their existence wiped out in the worst-case scenario."

After changing her clothes on someone's advice, Heca led the other person into hell, speaking lightly to herself.

"Although Hell was originally designed as a labor camp like a prison, I don't see it that way. 'In the fiery hell, you can burn as much meat as you want; in the blood pool hell, you can drink as much as you want.' To me, Hell should be a world that doesn't cause any trouble for anyone, a world where the more oblivious you are, the easier it is to survive—a true land of freedom."

"To be honest, I think the main point of everything you said was actually all about the phrase 'I don't have the concept of causing trouble for others'... So just how much do you hate trouble?"

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai gained a more comprehensive understanding of the personality of the goddess in front of him.

"Isn't hell a place of punishment meant to imprison sinners and subject them to penalties? According to your logic, you're planning to let hell develop on its own? A true place of freedom, indeed..."

"Then let me ask you, if I locked you in hell, what would you do?"

Heca stopped and turned around very seriously.

"Hmm... imitating a certain Monkey King causing havoc in the underworld?"

After seriously considering it for a moment, Shi Bai replied.

"Those things like fiery infernos and lava hells mean absolutely nothing to me..."

"That's right, those punishments and the like are actually meaningless to some extremely powerful beings, right? If they were all like you, causing chaos in Hell every day, wouldn't I have to come here every day to deal with all those troublesome things?"

Turning back, the words of a certain goddess of hell were clearly tinged with deep resentment.

"You're already a huge problem, and if you add any more, I'll be exhausted. So let's just leave the situation in hell as it is. Isn't a gathering place for pure sinners and evildoers good enough?"

"...After saying all that, you just want to be lazy, don't you?"
