"Ah...it's just a mere fantasy, a mere dream. Yet, it has brought me comfort. Perfect for re-examining what kind of being I truly am." Kasuga no Tsubone's soul floated in mid-air, a kind and joyful smile on her face; she felt completely at ease.
"That's right. This is me. The image that comes to mind for everyone: me as a fierce woman. The image that is similar to the concept of the Ooku. I have been fixed as this version of myself."
"Human evil, you depraved beast! Listen carefully! I, Kasuga no Tsubone, reside in the inner palace, and the inner palace is occupied by Kasuga no Tsubone. Having grasped this perfectly reasonable truth—do you still intend to claim that this is the universe?"
"Hehehe! This is utterly absurd!" Kasuga Tsubone strengthened her connection with the Great Inner Palace, constantly shrinking the vast cosmic space, shrinking it again and again, determined to transform this place into a concept outside the universe.
"What... I'm standing on the floor now, not my [universe]!?" Kama stared dumbfounded at the ground beneath her feet. She tried to jump up and fly into space, but was immediately bound to the spot by the power of the rules.
She slammed her head against the empty ceiling, cried out in pain, and fell to the ground.
“How could a universe exist underground like this? This is the Great Inner Palace. It’s my Great Inner Palace!” Kasuga Tsubone said disdainfully, focusing on connecting with the Great Inner Palace and controlling the power here.
The magical aura emanating from her body became extremely dense; she was now at the level of a Color Rank Magician.
"Ugh... what an annoying foreign object. It's so in the way, so in the way! So annoying!" Kama's cheerful, calm expression vanished, replaced by extreme anger as he stomped his foot on the floor. "This way, the forced settings for gravity and oxygen will..."
Weakened!!
She was tricked; she couldn't hear Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart-wrenching cries, and she couldn't quickly ascend to immortality!
"I suppose so. Then I'll admit it again. Humans cannot survive in the universe. Without an environment to survive, it can only overturn the very definition of the universe." Sion looked at Kama with delight, "Do you see our power?"
"As long as the definition weakens, we will have room for support. Add the function of using magic jets to the Mystic Code. It's not for movement, but for controlling posture. It can also form a temporary life field barrier around Fujimaru Ritsuka's head, so she won't have difficulty breathing."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's previously malfunctioning Mystic Code has regained its effectiveness. Sion quickly taught Scheherazade the new spell, which she then infused into Fujimaru Ritsuka's Mystic Code. "Thank you so much, Sion! Although I don't quite understand how this was done, it feels incredibly high-tech!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka placed his hands on his chest and touched the newly appeared cross button on his chest. Jet stream magic circles appeared on both sides of his Mystic Code, allowing him to move freely in space even without sitting on the flying magic carpet.
Kama gritted his teeth, pointed at Shion, and Fujimaru Ritsuka angrily asked, "Hey!! Don't ignore my presence. What are you doing? Stop acting so nonchalant!"
"Hmph. If at first glance one felt surrounded by the universe, humanity would naturally panic due to its heterogeneity and vastness. However, understanding is humanity's greatest weapon. Given sufficient preparation time, the number of countermeasures we humans can conceive is as numerous as the stars in the sky!! Although there are only about four thousand stars visible to the naked eye!"
"Hahaha! But for a homeless, evil human like you who can only hide here, this is enough!" Sion said happily, as the odds of winning given by the Spirit Particle Calculation System continued to increase.
She, along with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kasuga Tsubone, these Heroic Spirits did not create miracles, but simply used their wisdom to arrive at a feasible and excellent solution.
"Although it can't cover the entire universe, the noticeable gravity and the solid feeling under my feet are enough to satisfy me~." Mata Hari couldn't help but dance gracefully as she stepped on the ground. Indeed, humans are creatures that need to be grounded to feel at ease.
"Yes. That unsettling, death-inducing floating sensation is gone, and I can finally fight normally." Scheherazade, lifted up by gravity, finally fell freely back down.
"I will at least defend this floor to the death. Everyone is free to move around in all directions. I will extend the floor in coordination with your actions!" Kasuga no Tsubone's current power is not enough to completely turn this place into Ooku, but as long as she can weaken the concept of the universe, she can enable everyone to fight Kama.
"Heh, this isn't much different from when I showed you guys the floor as a perk before, is it? You guys are so smug right now, it's cute. But I really hate it!!"
Kama looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the Heroic Spirits with disdain. She had worked so hard to dim the light around Fujimaru Ritsuka, but now all her efforts had been wasted. "You really like to make pointless resistances, don't you? You look so adorable right now."
"You're like trash dumped in a landfill right now. The situation has simply returned to normal; nothing has improved."
"Look, the universe is still filled with us." Kama pointed to the illusory ceiling above, where countless Kamas appeared, four or five of them behind her. "Furthermore, the Tokugawa influence of 'Do Not Disturb the Chaldea Master' hasn't disappeared. Right now, you're just forcibly increasing the output of the anti-Tokugawa barrier, barely managing to suppress the interference."
"Faced with my endless depravity, how long can you possibly hold out? To be honest, it's only a matter of time." Kama looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with pity, and at Kasuga Tsubone, who was struggling to wrest control of the Ooku from him. "You think you can win by letting the field recover for a few minutes? How naive, how foolish and ignorant—!"
Even if she can't float in space, her current Spirit Origin power is far beyond what Chaldea can handle. Before she wore the Beast King's Crown, she could make Chaldea flee in defeat, and now she can still crush Chaldea.
However, this surprising plan only caused Kama to panic temporarily; she still held a firm grip on the victory and maintained an absolute advantage.
Her words went in one ear and out the other in the other.
Fujimaru Ritsuka remained unconcerned, watching Kama prepare to command the Heroic Spirits to begin the battle, ready to unleash Command Spells for a desperate fight.
Kama had no idea how dangerous and fierce battles Fujimaru Ritsuka had gone through: the First Emperor, whose power surpassed that of a Grand Heroic Spirit; the fire giant Sur, whose power was enough to burn down a planet; and Tiamat, the mother of all gods.
“Shut up, you're so annoying... No matter what you say, we won't give up,” Mata Hari said to Kama with obvious disdain.
"...Ahem. Well then, I will give you another blade. To the most trustworthy samurai here." Matsudaira Nobutaka coughed incessantly as he walked towards Yagyu Tajima-no-kami. Now, now!
Now is the time for me to serve Tokugawa.
"Oh my? Oh my goodness?" Hehehe, finally here. Kama turned around with delight to look at Matsudaira Nobutaka. "An unexpected character to appear. Because he looks quite interesting! I'll just observe for a while~~~ Mr. Nobutaka, good luck."
Kama calmly turned back one
A lotus throne appeared behind him, leisurely gazing at Matsudaira Nobutaka.
Very good, Mr. Xin Gang, you've finally made your move.
Why didn't she stop it or take action?
The reason is simple: Kama, who possesses the Beast Crown, does not believe that he will fail under any circumstances, as long as Matsudaira Shin'gang's actions give Chaldea confidence and Fujimaru Ritsuka self-assurance.
Then Fujimaru Ritsuka and these heroic spirits will stand once again on the highest peak of happiness, and at that time, Kama will only give Chaldea the utter despair of having no chance of winning!
This would cause Fujimaru Ritsuka to fall from the highest peak of pleasure, becoming food for her to ascend to immortality, while also corrupting Parvati and driving Shiva to despair!
Kama did not want to win so easily. The fallen beasts that had been transformed were not powerful enough. Only by making the opponent fall willingly could she demonstrate her wisdom and methods, and only then could she become stronger.
By simply unleashing the flames of love that burn the entire universe, Kama was confident he could annihilate these heroic spirits and these foolish, arrogant humans.
"Nobuta!! You've finally shown up! Hey, don't you dare take over my Ooku without permission!" Kasuga no Tsubone said angrily upon seeing Matsudaira Nobuta, who had betrayed Tokugawa and Iemitsu.
"Please forgive me. No, perhaps Your Highness the wet nurse hasn't noticed, but Your Highness still owes me a favor." Matsudaira Nobutaka said mysteriously, "Consider it repaying that favor."
"Who owes you a favor?! It's you who has the huge debt of betraying Tokugawa—" Kasuga no Tsubone glared angrily at Matsudaira Nobutaka. This guy was twisting the truth, spouting nonsense!
Her emotions, which had just calmed down, suddenly exploded. She bared her teeth and roared like a cat with its fur standing on end, wishing she could slap Matsudaira Nobutaka to death.

"How could this be?! How could this be?! What did Kasuga ever do you in the first place?! You big traitor!" Lily complained speechlessly, "Although I don't know what you're planning, weren't your previous actions the behavior of a traitor?"
"Didn't you say that humans cannot defeat gods? If we can't defeat gods, we might as well just submit to their majesty?"

36. The Muramasa Sword Mimicry! The goddess of impotent rage, don't underestimate humans!
Oda Nobuna's ambitions.
"Waaaaah, I...I actually appeared in a subspecies singularity...!? Am I also a cute and intelligent beautiful girl in this world? I can even do magic, I can do this kind of magical technique...Isn't this kind of skill only available to Onmyoji masters?"
Mitsuhide Akechi, with his long, flowing purple hair, looked at the scene with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
She had been eagerly anticipating her appearance.
However, it's strange that I didn't serve Lady Nobuna in other worlds! It's so illogical!
The only person capable of governing Japan is Lord Nobuna, not some Iemitsu or Tokugawa. There must be some mistake here.
Furthermore, she did not see Mr. Monkey appear in the footage.
Oda Nobuna was very satisfied with Matsudaira Nobutaka's performance. "Hmm... In the singularity history where Fujimaru Ritsuka is, I'm already dead, right? That's such a pity. I'd like to see what kind of person I am in the other world."
"Hehehe! Kasuga no Tsubone, not bad! Kasuga no Tsubone of this world is indeed an outstanding figure who can represent our history. It's just a pity that she is loyal to the shogun, not to me who wants to usher in a new era."
"If the monkey appeared in the singularity, it would have been captured by Kama long ago! That lecherous monkey who always stares at girls' breasts." Oda Nobuna stared at the monkey with a funny expression.
The monkey was so frightened that it lowered its head and stopped looking at the waves on Kama's body.
"Ugh... Ugh..." Hachisuka Goemon glared at the screen, annoyed that no Loli-type Heroic Spirit with her figure had appeared yet.
Why are all the Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaldea such sexy, mature older sisters?

“I see. The butterfly that flew out of this flower card is not an ordinary butterfly. It is an Izu butterfly, the family crest of Matsudaira Ōkōchi. I didn’t notice at all…” Yagyu Tajima-no-kami looked at Matsudaira Nobutaka with complicated feelings. He had not seen through Matsudaira Nobutaka’s scheme, nor had he seen through his previous help to his lord.
"Lord Zongju. Perfect timing. There is another plan that Abbot Tianhai has given me. It is a technique that Lord Tianhai used his own life as a price to carve into this body."
Matsudaira Nobutaka clutched his chest and said in a sinister tone, "What a ruthless man."
Seeing that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami had not yet made a move, he reminded him, "Let me repeat myself. Let us recall what I have done. Before you all is 'the one who harms Tokugawa'."
“!...I understand. Lord Matsudaira Izu no Kami Nobutsuna. You are indeed a loyal retainer.” Yagyu Tajima no Kami placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and walked towards Matsudaira Nobutsuna.
“No. Even so, I am still a traitor. This is the only way. Therefore—do what you must do, Lord Munenori,” Matsudaira Nobutaka added.
“Then, I shall have no choice but to kill him.” Without hesitation, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami drew his sword and cleanly severed Matsudaira Nobutaka's body. Bright red blood spurted out, and Kama stared in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, seeing Matsudaira Nobutaka lying on the ground, Matsudaira Nobutaka lying in a pool of blood.
"Mr. Yagyu!? Why did you suddenly attack...??" Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned. Before he could understand what Matsudaira Nobutaka was trying to say, he saw a cold glint flash...
“In this way, Lord Nobutsuna will become an existence with only a soul, just like Lord Afu. That’s why,” Yagyu Tajima-no-kami explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka, “the technique prepared by Tenkai-sama will, in any case, undergo a change in form, just like Lord Afu.”
"To become a sword with the potential to harm Tokugawa."
As soon as he finished speaking, Matsudaira Shin'gang's soul flashed with azure light, and Tenkai Monk activated the spell he was casting on his soul.
Matsudaira Shinko's body and soul materialized into a long sword that gleamed with a dangerous aura.
"It's not Izumi no Kami Kanesada, but Izu no Kami's pseudo-Muramasa." Looking at the weapon forged with the lives of two friends, Yagyu Tajima no Kami gazed intently, reached out and gripped it tightly, looking at the cold gleam on the blade and feeling the power it possessed.
Your Excellency Xin Gang and Your Excellency Tian Hai, I have received your support!
"Matsudaira Izu no Kami, I have accepted your loyalty. The Tokugawa Clan's Military Strategy Guide, Yagyu Tajima no Kami Munenori—for the only time, I will wield this false Muramasa to destroy the false Tokugawa."
"This aligns with Yoshinobu's strength and ideas. He wants to become the ultimate weapon against the hypocritical Tokugawa. He firmly believes that someone qualified to wield this weapon and capable of turning the tide will eventually arrive—and for this he constantly hones his own blade. It's the ultimate in ambush poison." Shion greatly admired the masterpiece created by Akechi Mitsuhide and Matsudaira Nobutaka, these two ruthless men.
"What kind of development is this..." Kama pouted, feeling extremely unhappy. His crimson eyes stared blankly at the simulated Muramasa sword held in Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's hand. "I knew long ago that Mr. Shinko had betrayed me. However, the only thing that surprised me was that he actually let Kasuga no Tsubone go."
"They must have been taking advantage of me while I was reading. All those little tricks they pulled, right?"
"Because I thought it would be really funny if he pitifully tried everything he could, only to be helplessly tormented by me, that's why I used him as a source of amusement—! How could this turn out like this!"
By the time Yagyu Tajima-no-kami grasped the sword, it was too late for Kama to make a move. She was furious; how could such a turn of events have occurred?!
“However, his loyalty to Tokugawa far exceeds your imagination. You didn’t see through all his plans, did you?” Mata Hari mocked.
Kama looked at Mata Hari as if she were a fool. "How could she possibly see through me?! The reason she betrayed me was to give herself, to imbue these playing cards made from her own internal organs, with an anti-Tokugawa nature."
"And in order to defeat me, they were willing to be killed themselves, becoming the sword that slew Tokugawa."
"This is so bizarre. What is this?! This is so strange. I can't find the words to describe how disgusting this is. How could I have imagined that Matsudaira Nobutaka could endure it for so long?! Ugh, really, how much do you humans enjoy pain?! Are you perverts?"
"But I understand. As his wet nurse, I feel incredibly happy. This is precisely the principle I've been teaching him since he was a child." Kasuga no Tsubone looked at Matsudaira Nobutaka lying in a pool of blood, tears streaming down her face. She was deeply saddened, but also incredibly proud of Matsudaira Nobutaka and her child.
“Well done. Absolutely brilliant, Lord Nobutsuna. Though it’s very much in your style, and quite clumsy… this is true loyalty to the Tokugawa. Let me put it another way… this is the form of love that Lord Nobutsuna has protected—the form of love that Lord Nobutsuna believes in.”
She felt deeply guilty that, as a wet nurse, she hadn't known the character of the child she had raised, and she hadn't realized what Matsudaira Nobutaka was planning...
If she had noticed what Matsudaira Shinko and Tenkai Sojo had done sooner, perhaps, perhaps Shinko wouldn't have died, she thought naively.
She didn't want to see the child she had raised die here, but she also knew that this was perhaps a necessary sacrifice.
“No. This won’t do. I am the one who gives love, and I am the one who fills the universe!” Kama roared angrily, golden flames of love burning fiercely on his body. “You don’t need to possess any love! Especially not love that I don’t know!”
She brandished her golden flames of love and hurled them at Yagyu Tajima-no-kami.
Even if I obtain a weapon capable of destroying Tokugawa, so what! I am already a transformed beast, and the concept of the universe still exists here. I cannot lose!
Parvati and Yagyu Tajima-no-kami wielded their blades, creating a whirlwind barrier that sliced through the oncoming heat of love, and swiftly rushed towards Kama.
"Kama... no, you are now the beast of lust. That's why you can't be compatible with humans. Giving love is a very joyful thing! Love takes many forms. You are the one who holds all these infinite joys. If you were to transform into a fully-fledged, corrupted beast, the world would be destroyed by you."
Parvati looked at Kama with utmost seriousness, "I must stop you here, I will!"
"How could I let you monopolize love? I became a Heroic Spirit because of love too! As for whether it's true love, hehe, I can only keep that a secret!"
Tahari looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a seductive gaze. She must have become a Heroic Spirit for her Master, and to meet Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Being deprived of love...it really bothers me. I don't know why, but right now, I'm very aware of this..."
Scheherazade placed her right hand on her heart, feeling her own heartbeat. In her previous life, she had pretended to love the king in order to survive, to survive the tyrant, but things were different now.
"Love, perhaps, is now the only thing that can make me forget the fear of death...!"
"Even though I only know the literal meaning of love right now..." Mashu placed her hands on her heart, her mind filled with images of her senior's smile, the doctor's face, Leonardo da Vinci, and Miss Drake's smile. Their love for her echoed in her heart.
"But everyone told me! This is an expression of your inner self, and one day you will have to share it with others."
"Just imagining these things makes me feel that it will be an exciting and wonderful future! I cry out from the bottom of my heart that I don't want love to be filled with your values alone. The depraved love that you give to people is nothing but depravity! This is not love! Master, I will support you with all my might. Please defeat the evil of humanity, the depraved beast Kama."
“The number of Kama’s counterparts is endless. They will likely fly in from the surrounding universe to fight us. However! There should only be one entity controlling their minds. We must find a way to destroy their minds!”
"Understood. There is only one thing I must do now: use this sword to slay the demons! Kama—be prepared." Yagyu Tajima-no-kami swung the simulated Muramasa sword in his hand, imbued with the souls of two loyal warriors, and a dark purple sword aura swept forward, piercing dozens of meters.
He has now gained the power to specialize in attacking Kama and deal true damage to Kama, who possesses the Great Ooku attribute.
