I'm having fun in Tokyo

Her gaze swept over Morikawa Yu and the shrine maiden, finally settling on the shrine maiden and the divine oriole. She stared intently at the shrine maiden and the divine oriole, her eyes gleaming with a captivating green demonic power.

"Chikako! Kamori! You two meddlesome bastards!"

"Killing me once wasn't enough? Now you've summoned so many people, are you trying to kill me again and seal my consciousness away once more?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, then looked at the shrine maiden: "Chikako?"

The current Orochi should be the real Orochi.

The problem is that the priestess's name is Mizuki, so why does Orochi call her Chigako? Did he mistake her for someone else?

The priestess frowned slightly: "Chikako is the name of the first generation."

“Back then, our first shrine maiden and the goddess Kaguya killed and sealed her away.”

"Just as she was about to revive, the First Generation forged the Murakumo Jewel to extract her consciousness from her demon body and seal it away under the Oki Islands and the worship hall plaza of our shrine."

"This guy probably thinks I'm the original."

While the shrine maiden was talking to Morikawa Yu, Orochi also noticed the difference between the shrine maiden and the "Chikako" she mentioned.

"Hmph, you're not Chikako, but you have the same power as her... Oh well, since you've accepted her legacy as a human, I'll just treat you as her."

Her gaze swept over the priestess and finally settled on Morikawa Yu.

"And then... it's you!"

"Human, you're the one who snatched me from her and then tried to refine my demonic power?"

"What an ignorant and greedy human! Didn't you ever consider that absorbing my demonic power would turn you into a monster like me?"

"Forget it, why should I remind you? You're just a greedy human being."

"I'll let you absorb my demonic power."

"I will revive within you, devour your soul, and teach you the price of usurping my power!"

"Even if my consciousness is suppressed and cannot be revived within you, you will slowly turn into a monster like me because of my demonic power. No one will like you anymore; everyone will be afraid of you and stay away from you. Hahaha, hahaha!"

madman.

He's absolutely insane.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

Orochi's words completely shattered his previous impression of her.

When he first entered the sealed area and saw the weak and pitiful girl Orochi, he felt that Orochi was very cute and he was reluctant to refine her demonic power.

I don't feel that way at all now.

Besides that, what Orochi said also bothered him.

The shrine maiden only said that the Cloud Jade could suppress Orochi's consciousness and allow him to refine and absorb Orochi's demonic power, without mentioning that Orochi's demonic power would have a greater impact on his body.

This made him somewhat worried.

Or, should we ask the system?

With this thought in mind, Morikawa Yu sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, found the system interface, and called out to the system girl.

"System, I have a question. If I were to refine and absorb the demonic power of a demon from the Age of Gods, what kind of impact would her demonic power have on me?"

Soon, the system girl's voice rang in his ears, but it wasn't a reply; instead, it was a cold suggestion.

"If the host has this idea, this system suggests that the host abandon it."

Morikawa Yu: "Give up? Why give up?"

"Could I really turn into a monster because of her demonic power?"

The system denied this, saying, "That's not the case. If the host completely refines her demonic power, she will not gradually turn into a monster because of her demonic power, but the host's soul will still be affected to some extent."

"The essence of demonic power is the lifeblood of the great demons of the Age of Gods, and also the source of their power. It is closely related to all the power of the great demons of the Age of Gods."

"Even if the host completes the refinement and removes the demonic power within, the essence of this power will still have a great influence on the host's personality, making the host's soul more like a demon than a human."

"In short, this system does not recommend that the host refine the demonic power origin of the demon from the Age of Gods."

Morikawa Yu frowned: "I have another question. Previously, the shrine maiden of Izumo Taisha, Suigetsu, planned to refine Orochi's demonic power source for her disciple, Hanamiyuki. If her disciple Hanamiyuki uses it, will the same thing happen?"

"Yes." The system girl's voice rang out again.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

If that's the case, how could the priestess dare to let Hanamiyuki absorb Orochi's demonic power? Isn't she afraid that her disciple will turn into a little snake girl?

No, it seems the system doesn't mean the absorber's body will change, but rather their personality will change.

Perhaps the Water Moon Goddess wouldn't mind if Hanamiyuki's personality became more eccentric.

But he minds.

He didn't want to become like this proud madman, Orochi.

Since that's the case, let's just forget about it.

Anyway, he didn't want to become an immortal being in this way.

In fact, he never wanted to become an immortal being by refining the demonic power of the demons of the divine era.

One reason is that the person who proposed this method to make him immortal was Fei Yue. Fei Yue wanted him to absorb her demonic power and become immortal, but that would cause Fei Yue to fall into a deep sleep.

In retrospect, what Fei Yue said about "falling into a deep sleep" was a euphemism. In reality, she refined the essence of her demonic power and gave it to him before dying. After a period of time, she reassembled her body and was resurrected in the world.

This recovery could take decades, centuries, or even millennia.

Feiyue truly loves him to the core, and is willing to make such a sacrifice for him.

Of course, he was also prepared to give his life for Himezuki.

If Feiyue were to encounter any danger, he would definitely do everything in his power to save her.

Feiyue was just too strong; it felt like she was the only one who could save him, and he had no chance to save her.

Another point is that Orochi's original demonic power is dark green, which makes him, a Chinese, very resistant to it.

Although Orochi's gorgeous long, dark green hair makes him look as beautiful as Mebius from Honkai Impact 3, he doesn't want to become a comedic character like Archbishop Green from Honkai Impact 3.

Even if he were to become an immortal being by refining the demonic power of a great demon from the Age of Gods, he would not want to choose Orochi, not to mention that the demonic power would also affect the user's personality.

but......

It's really frustrating to have meat right in front of you but not be able to eat it!

In particular, she was someone he had obtained from the priestess in exchange for a rather precious shrinking potion.

Even though exchanging shop points for shrinking potions isn't a huge burden for him now, they were hard-earned, and it would be a waste not to use them!

Finally, after thinking it over, Morikawa Yu couldn't bear to give up just like that.

He asked the system, "System, is there a safer way for me to obtain her power?"

"Yes." The system's voice immediately rang out: "The host can obtain the power of a great yokai from the Age of Gods by absorbing primordial blood, and gradually elevate their body to the level of a half-yokai from the Age of Gods."

"In that way, the host will not be adversely affected, because the primordial blood contains the original power of the great youkai of the age of gods, and it is gentle enough that it will not change the host's soul, but will only strengthen the body."

First blood?

Morikawa Yu frowned.

The system girl's idea is for him to enhance his physical strength by absorbing Orochi's initial blood, thus becoming a half-demon from the Age of Gods?

Doesn't that mean he should push her down?

This seems to be another way of "eating" something, right?

The system continued, "The host has already obtained the initial blood of a great yokai from the Age of Gods, and is about to fully absorb this initial blood."

"According to the system's calculations, as long as the host absorbs enough of the initial blood of five Divine Age Demons, he can upgrade his physique to the level of a Divine Age Half-Demon and become an immortal half-demon."

"As long as?" Morikawa Yu asked doubtfully.

Good heavens, now both Scarlet Moon and the Great Fox are enough to kill him. If he really had five great demon wives from the Age of Gods, wouldn't his harem be in constant turmoil?

Chapter 653 Three Different Paths

"This is just a small suggestion. Whether to do it or not depends on the host. However, since the host likes to flirt with women so much, this system thinks it is somewhat feasible."

"If the host is afraid of the Shura field, worried about being hacked to pieces, and does not want to do it, the host can also become an immortal species through the sublimation trial and improve the swordsmanship."

"The Ascension Trial can transform the host into a perfect being, like a great yokai from the Age of Gods."

"Improving one's swordsmanship and reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship can also allow the host to transcend the limits of life, reach a higher level of life, and become an immortal being."

Morikawa Yu nodded, frowning as he pondered.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt there was a hint of sarcasm and a slight dissatisfaction in the system girl's words.

Just like Asaka's usual tsundere self, she appears to be talking to him, but is actually throwing a tantrum and wants him to care about her and spend some time with her.

But he felt that the system girl couldn't be that human-like.

He temporarily suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and instead considered the suggestions given by the system.

First, it was a refinement and trial that he had always considered as an alternative plan.

The system had warned him that the Ascension Trial was dangerous, and he knew it was dangerous, but he didn't know how dangerous it was.

However, judging from the labels "high risk" and "extremely dangerous," it is probably the kind of dangerous trial where one wrong move could be fatal.

Besides that, it's about improving one's swordsmanship.

Through the sword demon Kashima, he discovered that the Sword Saint was not the strongest in swordsmanship; above the Sword Saint was the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.

Kashima was very close to that level, but he was not human and could not reach it. He only managed to unleash a peerless strike that was close to that level with regret for his mentor and best friend, and then he passed away contentedly.

He is human, and he has no bottleneck in swordsmanship. For him, improving his swordsmanship to the ultimate level is a completely smooth path.

This is also his favorite path.

Putting everything else aside, the first thing is that he's handsome!

With a single slash, heaven and earth are separated; that's all there is to being cool.

Then there's the third method the system just mentioned.

By defeating the great yokai of the Age of Gods, one can obtain their first blood and become a half-yokai of the Age of Gods.

In that way, he could also obtain the immortal body of a half-demon.

Without a doubt, this method would be very enjoyable.

If we were to give each of his three paths to becoming an immortal being a name, the trial of challenging oneself and advancing to a higher level of life could be called "The Path of Legend Never Ends".

The journey of improving one's swordsmanship and reaching the ultimate realm can be called the "Path to the Pinnacle of Swordsmanship".

This path of seducing beautiful girls can probably only be called the "Date A Live Path".

But Scarlet Moon and the Great Fox were so kind to him.

In order to achieve immortality, he would cheat on his wife, seduce other great yokai from the divine era, and take the virginity of those beautiful yokai girls. Isn't that too heartless?

Although he was indeed somewhat tempted, he still had some hesitation in his heart.

Another one is Orochi.

Morikawa Yu snapped out of her daze and looked at Orochi in the distance.

Orochi is located at the deepest part of the sealed area.

Her enormous, mountain-like demon body had fully awakened. The young girl stood in the air above the demon body, driving the demon body to struggle within the seal of the Cloud Jade, trying to break free of the seal.

However, the two pieces of Congyun Jade suppressed her demonic body and consciousness respectively, and only her human body could move slightly.

However, the sealing domain also suppressed her physical form.

Her physical body was also unable to break free from the seal of the domain, and she was only futilely resisting the power of the seal, completely ignoring the fact that the priestess, Kamioka, and Hizuki were all inside the sealed domain.

If her struggles are effective and she is about to break the seal, then the priestesses will definitely take action to reinforce the seal.

She actually had no chance of escaping the area.

Morikawa Yu's feelings were complicated.

He originally thought that Orochi was a willful and arrogant great demon from the Age of Gods, but when he met her, he found that she was a weak girl. Then he discovered that the weak girl Orochi was just a newly generated consciousness of the original Orochi, and the real Orochi was indeed an arrogant madman.
