I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Moreover, the Imagawa family's army will soon arrive, making it easy to find Renko.

With this thought in mind, Uesugi Tetsuya spoke.

"Erchi, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uesugi Tetsu's expression suddenly changed.

He turned his head and saw a milky white light rising from the streets and alleys of Nishio Castle at the other end of the castle.

Countless rays of light converged, transforming into a milky-white torrent surging and flowing through the air.

It's as if you can still hear countless soft whispers coming from it.

For some reason, whenever Uesugi Tetsu looked at that milky white torrent, a terrifying premonition would rise in his heart.

"Lord Che, we must escape quickly!"

The young man's face became incredibly stiff.

She stammered a couple of times before shouting, "That's the power of will, a torrent that only someone who has been assimilated by the power of will can control! And it's already locked onto us!"

"If you were to be swept away by so many vows all at once, your self-awareness would definitely be assimilated! You would then directly become a Bodhisattva or Arhat in Buddhism, and spend your whole life acting according to the thoughts in your vows!"

The two-foot-tall adult, who used the power of will as a means of advancement, cried out in surprise.

"I guarantee it! There won't be any surprises! The power of will is something that can't be stopped by ordinary means!"

"So we hurry—"

The young man's gaze swept over the stern-faced Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Her words suddenly stopped.

Yes.

Lord Che and I were able to escape from this Warring States period, but what about Lady Imagawa?

Miss Imagawa can't return to the mortal world with them, so she can only become a puppet of their wishes...

She is also the key figure in Lord Che's plans for this era...

Imagawa Yoshimoto cannot be eroded and assimilated by the power of will.

While the two-foot-tall man was still in the midst of a mental storm, countless ferocious thunder dragons descended from the distant sky, attempting to evaporate the torrent of willpower surging towards them.

But it's no use.

The power of will cannot be influenced by ordinary Yin-Yang techniques.

Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes, wanting to lift Kaga Kiyomitsu up and smash this so-called torrent of willpower to smithereens.

But his inner voice told him that doing so was absolutely wrong.

If I were hit by it, I would definitely become a puppet driven by the power of will, just as Erchi-sama said.

Even if I return to the present world later, it will not change.

Because this willpower doesn't seem to be a negative state, but rather a powerful positive buff.

Intuition told Uesugi Tetsuya that if he stood here and was struck by the torrent of willpower, he would receive a tremendous boost in all aspects of his life.

However, there will be only a few "minor" side effects.

Now how to do?

Uesugi Tetsu felt two gazes fall upon him.

He rarely remained silent.

Now, is there any other way besides abandoning Imagawa Yoshimoto and leaving the Sengoku period?

"Lord Che."

In the quiet night sky, the petite girl suddenly spoke.

Her voice was filled with delighted laughter: "I think I can absorb these wishes!"

"Because I've absorbed the power of vows from Buddha statues for so long, I have a strong resistance to this kind of power!"

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at her in astonishment: "You actually can?"

"poof!"

The girl held her head high and patted her chest forcefully: "Don't worry! Leave it to us! Watch us level up several times in one go!"

After saying that, before Uesugi Tetsu could say anything more, the two-foot-tall man took out a small levitation board and stepped on it without hesitation.

Then, he charged straight towards the hundred-meter-long torrent of willpower all by himself!

Her white dress fluttered in the wind.

The two-foot-tall man's eyes were firm, carrying a certain resolute look.

The two-foot-tall man transformed into an enormous eight-foot-tall figure, plunging headlong into the torrent, his voice piercing the heavens.

"Give it to me, stop it!"

Immediately, a barrage of notifications appeared before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes—

Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" is absorbing a massive amount of unclaimed willpower (miscellaneous)...

Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" has absorbed a massive amount of unclaimed willpower (miscellaneous) and has now broken through from two stars to two and a half stars!

Your shikigami "Yasata no Onna" has absorbed a massive amount of unclaimed willpower (miscellaneous) and has now broken through from two and a half stars to three stars!

Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" has absorbed a massive amount of unclaimed willpower (mixed), improving its quality and now exceeding its rank cap!

Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" has now reached three and a half stars!

[Warning! Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" has undergone an unknown change. Please check it as soon as possible!]

Chapter 201 The Sealed Ksitigarbha Statue, Lian Guang, Get Over Here and Prepare to Die! Stage Quest Can Be Completed!

A flood of notifications appeared before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes, like a long river of wishes crashing down on them from the moonlight.

However, now someone is standing in the way of that boundless power of will.

Two-foot-tall adults.

The roaring river of willpower stopped before that figure, who, even after regaining her eight-foot frame, still appeared incredibly petite.

No advance.

"Three and a half stars..."

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the prompt showing how easily the Second Master had broken through his rank, as if it were as easy as eating and drinking, but he felt no joy whatsoever.

Everyone knows that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

What's more, this was a deadly attack from the enemy without any warning.

As Uesugi Tetsu watched silently for thirty seconds, the white dress on the two-foot-tall man gradually turned into pale gold.

A gentle yet radiant halo gradually appeared behind her, and a brand-new, pure white futon floated out of the void beneath her smooth feet.

The two-foot-tall man gently stepped onto the prayer mat.

The original atmosphere of ghost stories gradually faded away, replaced by a Buddhist nature full of compassion and mercy.

Buddha.

No matter who sees the current two-foot-tall adult, these two words will come to mind.

Ordinary people can't help but feel an urge to worship her just by seeing her.

A pale gold veil draped over her head.

The two-foot-tall man lowered his eyes and saw the remaining specks of willpower.

"Why is it so..."

She sighed softly, spread her soft, white fingers, gathered the power of her wish into a small, milky-white ball, and tucked it into her sleeve.

“The power of aspiration is the wish of all beings, the thought of all beings.”

The two-foot-tall man murmured, first casting his cold and murderous gaze upon the dumbfounded Lian Guang at the other end of Xiwei City.

But in an instant, these murderous intents were overwhelmed by rising compassion.

Lian Guang, who was also looking up at her, seemed to realize something, so she revealed a mocking laugh.

"Using one's willpower to subdue demons is not inherently wrong..."

She withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Uesugi Tetsuya, who was staring straight at her, and saw the menacing-looking Hannya mask.

A chill suddenly appeared on that face, which was filled with Buddhist and maternal qualities.

"The demons that harm all living beings must be exorcised..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the red and white fox ears on the Prajna mask, and the four fluffy, soft, blood-red fox tails swaying slightly behind her.

"I want to pet him/her."

Without any thought, the idea popped into the mind of the young man.

The two-foot-tall man, who was about to transform into a Bodhisattva or Buddha who was about to save all sentient beings, was startled, and a tiny wisp of clarity struggled to emerge from his eyes.

That glimmer of clarity instantly transformed into an uncontrollable rage!

—Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

—Damn vows, damn lotus light, damn bullshit Buddha's vision!

That face, which had been as compassionate as a Bodhisattva, was now twisted into a hideous grimace. The two-foot-tall man once again looked down from the high heavens at the lotus light on the ground.

—You mortals, how dare you make me want to kill Lord Che!

But this murderous intent and rage, which seemed to devour everything, lasted only a moment before being greatly diminished by the vast and boundless grand ambition.

The two-foot-tall man's pupils contracted, and for the first time, a look of resistance and fear surfaced in his eyes.

She realized that her time seemed to be running out.

No.

It should be said that the time left before she transforms into a machine driven by this grand ambition is already running out.

Killing Lotus Light...

It's too late no matter what.

Realizing this, a positioning coordinate, many times more powerful than before, crashed down on Lian Guang's head and merged into his body without him even noticing.

At the same time, a golden-white electronic screen appeared out of thin air in Uesugi Tetsuya's hand.

The two-foot-tall man immediately spoke, his magnificent voice flowing into the night sky in all directions, annihilating all the sick and suffering relatives along the way. The Buddha's light resounded.

"—Renko, the Dharma Master of the Jodo Shinshu sect, is a sinner!"

With the next snap of the fingers, under Lian Guang's indifferent gaze, the two-foot-tall man in the night sky vanished with a "po" sound.

Without warning, and without knowing whereabouts.

Only Uesugi Tetsu silently lowered his head, looking at the newly popped-up notification.

After a kill notification from Erchi Daren, the most crucial notification popped up.

Your shikigami "Yasata no Onna" has returned to its possession, the "Complete Jizo Statue".

Your shikigami, "Yasata-onna," has forcibly sealed itself off from its possessing entity.

[You have obtained the sealed Jizo statue!]

The sealed-off Jizo statue

[—The eight-foot-tall woman expended a great deal of her willpower to still her ego and thoughts, sealing herself within the Ksitigarbha statue. Only its master can open it.]

Uesugi Tetsu silently read through each of the prompts.

He had already realized what was happening.

Before the two-foot-tall man rushed out, he was lying.

Even if she could absorb it, she didn't actually have much resistance to these wishes.

—The changes in her demeanor and eyes just now, combined with her act of locking herself inside the Ksitigarbha statue without saying a word, all point to this.
