I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Her little face twitched, and she patted the throne beneath her, causing countless tentacles to emerge from under the throne and roll each insect eye into its "mouth".

A dozen seconds later, the throne's color deepened, and several large compound eyes appeared on it, contrasting sharply with the other pupils.

Even Hyakume, who was sitting comfortably on it with his toes curled up, showed a satisfied expression.

Although the quality of the epic item remained unchanged, a large progress bar suddenly appeared above her head.

[Hyakume's quality upgrade progress: 18%]

After eating hundreds of insect holes, there's still so much left.

However, there are still many sick and suffering relatives, and sooner or later the remaining progress will be filled.

Uesugi Tetsu closed the gacha page and slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze had just met Imagawa Yoshimoto's when there was a knock at the door.

Uesugi Tetsu plucked a string in his heart.

Kaga Kiyomitsu immediately broke through the barrier of the thin internal energy and flew in with a whoosh.

Of course, they also made sure to close the door behind them.

Upon seeing that the visitor was actually a sword, Imagawa Yoshimoto was speechless, and the words he was about to say fell back down.

But Kaga Kiyomitsu, who had just flown in, trembled in shock, turned left, and then right.

hum!

"Master, what are you two doing!"

Buzz!

—You've never been this affectionate with me!

"Xiao Jia, stop fooling around." After sleeping for several hours, Uesugi Tetsuya had basically regained the strength to speak. "Be good, I don't have the strength to deal with you right now."

hum...

Kaga Kiyomitsu, who could truly sense how bad Uesugi Tetsu's condition was, turned around and obediently returned to his scabbard.

But Uesugi Tetsu could clearly tell through his heartstrings that even after returning to his scabbard, Kaga Kiyomitsu was still dissatisfied.

It was still trembling slightly, to a degree that only it could feel.

Simply put, it means they are jealous and need comforting.

Uesugi Tetsuya was speechless.

It was one thing for Erchi Daren to get jealous before, but now even Xiao Jia is getting jealous. It seems he's been raising a whole bunch of jealous people, hasn't he?

Uesugi Tetsuya doesn't even dare to imagine who will be the next one to get jealous...

Uesugi Tetsu's solution was to let it go—letting Jia make a fuss for a while would be over; he didn't have the energy to comfort her.

Rather than that, it's better to check how many Soul Points you have first.

Kaga Kiyomitsu's personal panel popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

Soul Points: 3504

Below that is a price list for a series of enhancement effects.

After "Thrust Enhancement - Extreme" was changed to "Thrust Mastery", the required enhancement points increased to 1000.

With 3,500 points at his disposal, Uesugi Tetsuya can do a lot of things.

However, there are still two main directions.

One option is to continue accumulating Soul Points, and once you have accumulated 5,000 points, you can directly enhance a unique skill, "Parting Sorrow."

This should bring him an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

The other option is to quickly deplete the Soul Points in hand and convert them into current combat power in order to deal with stronger enemies that will be encountered in the near future.

Here is a key point that influences the decision.

That is to continue sweeping through various cities and villages in Mikawa Province in order to spread the fame of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

We will start from Yoshida Castle and go straight for the head of the sick and suffering.

—The information the Special Affairs Department provided him included a technique that could directly locate the source of illness by consuming a large amount of spiritual energy.

If this technique were applied in the modern world, it would obviously be ineffective against illnesses that have already been analyzed in reverse.

However, during the Warring States period, it was undoubtedly capable of precise positioning.

And most likely, the illness isn't severe enough to be considered a ghostly or supernatural ailment, and the person might not even be aware of being targeted.

If you want to continue your sweeping spree, then it's best to be a hoarder for now.

However, if one wants to directly eliminate the illness, then one must improve one's combat strength as soon as possible.

—When facing an enemy of the level of the Eight Sufferings, even if the opponent has not yet grown up, you must do everything you can to ensure that there is no chance of failure.

How to do?

"Che-jun, what are you thinking about?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto's shouts pulled Uesugi Tetsuya back to reality.

He let out a sigh of relief: "I'm a bit mentally exhausted, just need to clear my mind."

Imagawa Yoshimoto then remained silent, afraid of disturbing him.

Uesugi Tetsu continued thinking from where he left off—

The situation is still unclear. I need to wait until I've fully recovered before gathering more information from various sources so I can make a more informed decision.

But one thing is for sure.

That means if you don't enhance the "Sorrow of Separation", your enhancement package should be "Slash Enhancement - Extreme", "Thrust Mastery", and finally "Blazing Blessing".

The "spirit" that is closely related to Kaga Kiyomitsu's own spirituality and wisdom will not be considered for the time being.

Because spiritual effects have a long-term, substantial rewarding effect, but they are not very helpful in the short term.

After all, the price for enhancing Fuze Blaze is exactly the same—1500 Soul Points.

Having finished focusing his thoughts on strengthening Kaga Kiyomitsu, Uesugi Tetsu activated the faint internal energy within him, attempting to sit up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground, leaving the gentle embrace beneath him.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's words echoed in my ears.

"Che-jun, you can lie down for as long as you want."

"No, that much rest is more than enough."

Imagawa Yoshimoto stared silently at Uesugi Tetsu, whose face was still pale, and felt that his words were not convincing at all.

But she still let Uesugi Tetsuya leave her lap, watching him take out a small bottle and pour a drop of dew into his mouth.

After that, Uesugi Tetsuya's breathing visibly improved and became less unpredictable.

After sitting there catching his breath for a while, Uesugi Tetsuya said softly, "Lord Yoshimoto, could you send someone to fetch paper, cinnabar, and plenty of water?"

"immediately."

Without asking any questions, Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

In less than ten minutes, she had the strong warriors place the cinnabar and paper at the door, and then put large water vats in the courtyard.

Taking this time, Uesugi Tetsuya, having reviewed the talismans and related spells several times, forced a smile: "Please give me the things, Lord Yoshimoto."

Without saying a word, she placed a stack of papers and a basin of ground cinnabar in front of Uesugi Tetsuya, and then knelt down beside him.

If outsiders were to witness this scene, they would perceive Imagawa Yoshimoto as a lowly servant, while Uesugi Tetsuya would appear to be the true lord.

"Good work."

Uesugi Tetsu dipped his index finger in cinnabar, took a deep breath, and forced out the negligible spiritual power within his body.

—The special affairs department's "illness-repelling talisman" has only two spells, and the spiritual power required to construct it is extremely small.

Even if Uesugi Tetsuya's current spiritual power attribute is less than 5 points, he can still draw it if he puts in the effort.

The original intention behind the creation of this disease-repelling talisman was to enable everyone to possess the ability to purify and combat the diseases caused by illness.

Of course, what Uesugi Tetsu drew was only the first generation of the disease-repelling charm.

In the present world, the disease-repelling talisman has undergone countless updates and iterations, and the required spiritual power has also increased significantly.

The sky darkened.

Imagawa Yoshimoto silently lit candles one by one and placed them around the room.

Uesugi Tetsu held his breath and, after finishing the last stroke, removed his fingers from the paper.

brush.

A faint glow emanated from the paper... or rather, from the talisman that dispels illness.

"finished."

Uesugi Tetsu felt a moment of dizziness.

He braced himself on the ground with his five fingers and barely managed to sit up: "Lord Yiyuan... throw this talisman into the water, and it will continuously produce water that can cure diseases."

Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes lit up: "Can this one talisman really solve the disease problem in the city?"

“Not enough.” Uesugi Tetsu took another piece of paper and placed his finger on it. “When the talisman stops lighting up, it means the effect has been achieved.”

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had just carefully picked up the talisman, looked at Uesugi Tetsuya, whose face was ashen, and couldn't help but ask,

"How many do you want?"

"The more, the merrier."

Imagawa Yoshimoto remained silent.

She watched silently as Uesugi Tetsu struggled to breathe, repeatedly raising his fingers to squeeze out spiritual energy, drawing until he unconsciously fell to the side countless times, only to be caught by her.

Late at night.

Having watched for more than ten hours, Imagawa Yoshimoto reached out and grasped Uesugi Tetsu's trembling wrist: "Tetsu-kun, stop."

"Stop, why?"

Uesugi Tetsuya, whose eyes could no longer see clearly and who was drawing talismans based solely on instinct, asked a question in return.

"You can rest now," Imagawa Yoshimoto said seriously.

Uesugi Tetsu continued to ask, "Why rest when you can finish something by just persevering?"

crunch.

He could vaguely hear Imagawa Yoshimoto clenching his teeth.

In the dead of night, the girl raised her voice: "Those ordinary people don't deserve to be tortured and exploited like this by you, Che-jun!"

Uesugi Tetsuya paused, then calmly said, "Lord Yoshimoto, they are your people."

"so what?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto's tone turned cold: "Yes, I admit they are all my people, and I sincerely want to save them!"

She squeezed the words out one by one from between her teeth.

"—But the truth is! Even if all of them were combined, they wouldn't be half as important as you, Che-kun!"

The patriarch of the Imagawa family, who hadn't done so in a long time, gave the order: "Now, stop!"

Uesugi Tetsuya said softly,

"Xiaojia."

Zheng!

Kaga Kiyomitsu flew out and hovered in mid-air, confronting Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Chapter 193 The Void Sea Opens! Imagawa Yoshimoto's meticulous care, Hanzo's return, and a massive amount of intelligence!

Kaga Kiyomitsu knew nothing.

It couldn't read the atmosphere, didn't know Imagawa Yoshimoto's identity, or what the relationship was between Uesugi Tetsu and the girl in front of it.

It only knows that its owner is calling it out now.
