I'm having fun in Tokyo

Because these powers disappear as human understanding grows, and what doesn't exist can't be taken away.

Mitsuko and the other divine beings of the Age of Gods are purer than gods and have nothing to do with humans. All they possess is power. Human thought and progress are irrelevant to them; their strength is pure power.

Even Mitsuko is helping humanity to think further, thus destroying the meaning of the gods' existence.

However, it would be hard to understand why Mitsuko would take over the divine position, since the divine position is probably the cornerstone that carries the meaning of the god's existence.

With the foundation already completely collapsed, how did she ascend to the throne?

“You are indeed different, unlike any of you.” He straightened up, and the light behind him dissipated.

"You probably understand why I want to see you."

Mitsuko gave a cold laugh.

"Of course I know, don't you just want me to take over your divine position and prolong your existence?"

“We are not related to humans. After obtaining a divine position, even if we are tainted by it, we will only gradually become weaker and will not disappear. And you are just an incarnation of a god.”

"As long as the divine position still exists, it doesn't matter who is on it; you have simply continued your own existence."

"But, I refuse."

"I don't need these things from you."

"Coming here is just to tell you that your existence is meaningless."

She turned around, turned her head away, retracted her tail, let her long hair fall down, and returned to her original form, walking towards the gate of the main hall.

Morikawa Yu was startled.

Although Mitsuko looks a bit ugly when she turns back to her original form, she looked really cool just now.

The radiance behind Inari Daimyojin dimmed slightly. He remained silent for a while, but then spoke again.

"Even if my divine position grants you access to the most important power concerning humanity's 'production,' allowing you to understand how humanity progresses and to gain humanity's closeness and acceptance of you?"

Mitsuko stopped in her tracks.

An eerie silence fell over the main hall.

She turned her head, looked at Him deeply, gazing at His tall figure, but shook her head.

"Give me time, and I can figure these things out myself."

"Getting close to humans and being accepted by them is something that can be done as long as one has a human body formed from demonic power."

She turned and walked towards the palace gate, but suddenly her expression changed. Forgetting about her human form, she raised her golden domain, transforming into a huge nine-tailed golden fox as big as a small mountain. She opened up the palace and flew into the night sky.

The Hiyue beside Morikawa Yu also manifested her demon form.

He didn't understand what was happening, but he still held onto the fur around Fei Yue's neck and flew into the night sky with her.

But his expression immediately changed.

Outside, Kyoto had fallen into complete chaos.

He clearly saw that Mitsuko's former residence had been reduced to ruins, and a huge white nine-tailed fox that looked exactly like Mitsuko was sweeping away the surrounding buildings as it swayed its tail.

Its eyes were bloodshot, as if it had completely lost its reason, leaving only a look of savagery.

After doing all this, it unleashed a mighty burst of foxfire, stretching far and wide, burning from the walls of Kyoto all the way to the inner walls of the palace, turning everything in its path to ashes, leaving only scorched wasteland.

"Tamamo!"

Mitsuko lunged at the giant white fox, and her pale golden sealing domain spread out, trying to protect the buildings on the ground. However, the white fox's white domain held them back, making it difficult for them to move forward.

With a fierce look in her eyes, she bit the white fox's neck and pinned it to the ground. Even as the white fox's nine tails lashed wildly, shaking the earth, she did not loosen her grip even slightly.

The white fox hissed, but stopped struggling when it saw that it was Mitsuko.

Before Mizuko could even speak, the white fox began to struggle again.

Mitsuko bit down hard again.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell silent, leaving only the slight trembling of her demonic body.

Mitsuko slowly released the giant jaws, turned her head, and stared intently at the Inari Daimyojin rising above the palace with her fox eyes.

He spoke slowly: "How is the ceremony I prepared for you?"

Mitsuko did not answer Him, but only glanced back at Tamamo-no-Mae's body, her voice icy cold.

Why was Tamamo's mind corrupted?

"Why? Don't you understand?" He asked in return.

Although He wore a mask and had no face, Morikawa Yu felt that if He had an expression, He would definitely be smiling.

Do you think I have that kind of power?

"No, I just had someone tell her that you don't like her, that you prefer humanity and knowledge, and that you want to become a god of humanity."

"You have come to the Imperial Palace today to receive your divine position."

"The only way to stop all this is to destroy Heian-kyo. After I destroy this place, I will dissipate, and you will not be able to accept the divine position. Now it seems that she has done a good job."

"I should even thank you for taking such good care of her, allowing her to be so willful and capricious."

"If you paid more attention to her, you'd probably find that she's had enough of your friendliness towards other people and is starting to doubt her place in your heart..."

"enough!"

Mitsuko roared angrily in a deep voice.

Her body soared high into the air, landing before Him. She slapped His body to the ground with her tail, then fell back down, crushing Him with her giant claws, causing huge cracks to appear in the ground.

“If that were all, she wouldn’t have lost her temper or ignored me.”

"That's right, but so what? What's done is done."

He was completely unconcerned about his divine body being shattered, and the laughter in his voice grew even stronger.

“I was worried that you, like the others among you, would disregard humanity, but you are different.”

"This place is destroyed. Even an earthquake wouldn't have destroyed it this thoroughly. She has also lost her mind. She will attack everyone except you."

"So? Do you want to accept my divine position?"

"I am the god who governs production, and you will inherit my divine position. As long as humanity has not been wiped out, you can use your powers to help those who are still alive heal their wounds and quickly get through this."

“You can even recreate the ‘production’ process and restore peace here, which can be done in just a few days.”

"Otherwise, Heian-kyo will probably just be a name without substance."

"Furthermore, you don't need to beg me or threaten me to do these things, because if you refuse, I will immediately dissipate my power and disappear from the world."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He had an urge to kick the other person in the face. This guy was completely taking advantage of Mitsuko's kindness and forcing her. It was disgusting.

Mitsuko did not answer, her teeth clenched tightly.

"How...how dare you?"

Hearing her words, He laughed heartily.

"How dare I?"

"Why don't I dare?"

"Because of human thought and your hunting, I have no way to survive and will be driven to extinction by you."

"No one cares about us, so why should I be sentimental?"

"Accept my divine position, if only you accept..."

Before He could finish speaking, Mitsuko bit into His head and spat out golden light, gradually eroding His consciousness.

Even if He was a god, He had absolutely no room for resistance at this moment and completely vanished from the world.

All that remained in Mitsuko's mouth were nine enormous halos and obscure characters surrounding them.

Holding the halo in her mouth, she looked around at the ruins of collapsed houses still being ravaged by demonic fire, and could still hear cries and pleas for help.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally tilted her head back and swallowed the light wheel.

With a painful howl, her enormous fox body trembled violently, flesh and blood fell away, revealing stark white bones, a horrifying sight.

The golden divine light, mixed with her pale golden demonic power, eventually transformed into a dazzling radiance that filled every corner.

After a moment, the light dissipated.

Mitsuko transformed into her original form, her face possessing an exquisite beauty that defied description, and the starlight on her forehead shone even brighter.

Behind her were nine blazing rings, just as bright as before, one after another, radiating a vast divine light.

Morikawa Yu and Hiizuki exchanged a glance.

"The one now is Mitsuko. That guy is gone, but that should be His purpose. After all, He is just the will of the god, and all He wants is to continue the godhood."

As Feiyue explained to him, on the other side, Mitsuko had already flown in front of Tamamo-no-Mae, her body as small as a flying insect compared to Tamamo-no-Mae's demonic form.

She looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who had completely descended into tyranny and chaos, and remained silent, trying to soothe her with her divine power, but to no avail.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she smiled bitterly. Her demonic power enveloped Tamamo-no-Mae's demonic body, melting it bit by bit until only a sliver of white light remained before her.

She carefully cradled the light, lowered her head, and swallowed it.

"This way, we'll be together forever, Tamamo."

Morikawa Yu felt a little anxious.

What kind of yandere statement is this? Big fox, do you have this hidden attribute?

Feiyue also sighed.

She waved her hand gently, and time seemed to speed up.

Morikawa Yu immediately saw Mitsuko fly over Heian-kyo, her golden divine power extending downwards, the white demonic flames on the palaces and buildings gradually extinguished, and the collapsed ruins slowly floated and gathered together.

Although the process is slow, it is still quite remarkable in the short time it takes.

Finally, after several days, she restored Heian-kyo to its former glory. No one died, but the injured people recovered their health, though they seemed to have forgotten what had happened.

Mitsuko stood in mid-air, and a small white fox appeared beside her, jumped onto her shoulder, and let out a soft meow.

She tapped its little head, sighed wistfully, but said nothing.

Time continued to flow faster, and she continued doing the same things as before, seemingly unchanged, until the elderly Seimei passed away, and she finally arrived at the Inari Shrine...

"So this is what happened after all this time."

Feiyue sighed, "No wonder that stinky fox didn't want to tell me."

Morikawa Yuya nodded thoughtfully.

He thought that Mitsuko had accepted the divine position voluntarily, but he did not expect that she was forced by Inari Daimyojin and paid a heavy price.

If it weren't for the need to restore Kyoto, she probably wouldn't have accepted their threats.

After all, given her personality, she would rather work hard to obtain something than take advantage of the slightest bit of freebies.

But why did the big fox turn into what it is now?

He immediately thought of Mitsuko, whom he had encountered before.

Although she claims to like humans, she doesn't care about them at all. She uses the body of the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family to coerce Hiizuki and Ryoko, making them wary and unable to make a move.

She then ordered Asaka to kill Mr. Odajima, who was related to her, which was completely unlike her previous friendly demeanor; instead, it showed her to be quite cold-blooded.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Morikawa Yu's mind.

He had a very frightening suspicion.

Is it possible that the current Mitsuko is not actually Mitsuko at all?

After all, the Great Fox had taken over the original Inari God's position. Although He had been erased, the will of the position remained.

Although we don't know how He regained consciousness, or why He came to Tokyo and did these things, everything would be much easier if we replaced Mitsuko with Him.

He doesn't care about human life or death, and his methods are cruel.

And if that's really the case, it's no wonder Asaka warned him that this matter was dangerous and told him not to get involved.

A deity, and one who had schemed against Mitsuko in history, a cold and ruthless deity, whose level of danger was simply incalculable, it was only natural that she would say such a thing.

"I understand," Morikawa Yu said in a deep voice.
