From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

When they were in fierce confrontation with Akasaka before, they could still carefully hide themselves because of the danger in front of them. However, as their way of action changed, they no longer needed to directly confront Akasaka, and the danger seemed to have been gradually lifted. The desire that had been suppressed for several months became even stronger.

Strong liquor, beautiful women, and high-stakes gambling, Xia Chuan more or less understood why these guys from the Styx Society couldn't save much money.

In fact, among the group of monsters that he accidentally discovered because of Kamio Hitomi, only Luoshan and her followers rarely went out to vent their desires. Even the seemingly righteous Kamike was a frequent visitor to Ginza's high-end nightclubs.

The guy he chose as his target played until after two o'clock, when he had squandered all his cash. He staggered out of the nightclub with the help of two hostesses.

"It's annoying. Mr. Yeying is always so lecherous."

"Xiaosaki, then just stay with me." The monster named Nokage took advantage of them and laughed.

"Then what should I do? Mr. Ye Ying, please don't be so partial!" said another hostess with a sweet smile.

"Why don't we just go together?"

Ye Ying was doing all sorts of things when a voice suddenly interrupted them.

quack.

"How annoying! Why are there more and more crows recently?"

Ye Ying's movements suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Ye Ying?" A woman wearing a fox mask and a miko costume appeared at the intersection in front of them. She was dancing with something under the street light. Ye Ying pushed them away and tried to escape to another way, but found that women with the same attire appeared at two other intersections.

"Psycho..." The hostess didn't understand the situation yet and thought that Yeying just lost his balance because of stumbling. But when she reached out to support Yeying again, she was shocked to see that his body had lost its shape at some point and turned into a black mass that was blending into the darkness on the roadside.

"Wild..." The cold wind finally woke them up, and then the two of them screamed almost at the same time.

At this moment, a ball of light suddenly flew towards this side from the hands of one of the witches, illuminating the entire alley and revealing the dark shadow that was trying to escape from between the two buildings.

"In the name of the Kailin Daimyojin..." The remaining two priestesses suddenly said at the same time. "Kill the evil!"

Chapter 242 Onimusha

Standing in this room specially chosen by Xia Chuan, he could see the scene below clearly.

Kawaguchi Reina didn't think they were that remarkable at first, but after the mouse-shaped light wave appeared again, her hands suddenly clenched.

The pet Shiba Inu sensed her inner ups and downs and licked her hand gently. She then began to comb and stroke its fur, trying her best to calm herself and carefully watched the actions of the shrine maiden below.

Her movements were too casual and too haphazard, and she didn't prepare for any possible counterattacks. Kawaguchi Rena immediately discovered all her problems.

But... the mouse-shaped light wave danced nimbly in the air, chasing the monster who turned into a shadow and wanted to escape again and again, leaving him nowhere to escape. With the help of the other two witches, the black shadow was finally penetrated by the mouse-shaped light wave, fell to the ground, and disappeared.

Is this the power of Shikigami?

With mixed feelings, she watched the light wave, which had dimmed after completing the attack, return to the witch's arms, and the strength in her hands suddenly increased subconsciously.

"Woof woof?"

"I'm sorry, Luke, did I hurt you?" She hurriedly comforted the Shiba Inu. "I'm sorry, but did you see them? We have to work harder too! Otherwise..."

She must become the most beloved shrine maiden of God and realize that wish.

#####

"Yuriko, what do you think of their performance?" Xia Chuan, who had already absorbed the demonic energy and resentment emitted by the dead monsters, asked in the room across the building from her. "It doesn't matter, just tell me."

Akasaka's people were finishing up, but the whole process, from the time the shrine maidens began to quietly chant and dance to the time the monster was killed, took no more than three minutes. It was already very late, there were few pedestrians on the road, and there was not much damage or noise. The finishing work was much simpler than usual.

They still do not agree with these humans who embrace alien powers, but they cannot help but face this obvious and unavoidable difference.

If they were in this situation, how would they deal with this monster that could turn into a black shadow and escape?

No one wants to think about the answer.

"Well, I think they performed very well." Yuriko Kiyokawa was actually quite shocked.

The scene before her was actually no stronger than her memory of her mother summoning Shikigami, but she knew very well when these priestesses started to cultivate Shikigami. Perhaps even the method of attack was learned from her.

Just over a month...

If they are given enough time, they will definitely be far superior to the raccoon cat clan's priestesses, and the shikigami in their hands will definitely be far superior to the raccoon cat clan's "sparrow god".

After all, it had been born for a long time, and no one had replenished its consumed divine power. When the raccoon cat clan perished, it was actually already very weak.

Is this the growth rate of a shrine maiden who has the support of a living god?

A strong sense of crisis suddenly arose.

What on earth have I been doing these days? Is the God really asking for my opinion on them?

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!" She suddenly became uneasy and kept saying it to Xia Chuan.

"You are a true miko after all, Yuriko."

Xia Chuan was very satisfied with her reaction. After all, she was not stupid enough to misunderstand his intentions.

Even if you are a civet cat, you should have a sense of shame!

"I want to see your true strength."

"Yes!" Yuriko Kiyokawa bowed down hurriedly.

"Then, tell me about their shortcomings." Xia Chuan said. "What is the difference between their fighting style and your mother's? What else can be improved?"

Of course there are many problems. Although the Nonomiya family is indeed the inheritor of Tenmangu Shrine, if they really inherited the power of Tenmangu Shrine, they would not have survived to this day.

Qingchuan Yuriko quickly pointed out four or five obvious problems, and then she said carefully: "Well... Actually, my mother rarely participated in the battles directly like them back then."

"Ok?"

"Usually, she is only responsible for blessing and healing, and inspiring the courage and strength of the raccoon cat warriors. The sparrow god rarely participates in the battle directly, but only contains and harasses. After all, she is a priestess."

In other words, her mother Chizuru is actually just a nurse who helps people with buffs and blood replenishment in battle?

After all, raccoon cats are monsters, and they were probably able to fight in the past. However, Xia Chuan only has these miko at hand now. If he doesn't let them go, does he have to do everything by himself?

"If we can absorb some monsters..." Yuriko Kiyokawa continued to suggest.

After all, this is also a matter of her own safety.

It is indeed cool to kill the enemy with your own hands, but it would not be fun if the enemy rushed in front of you.

"I'll consider it," Xia Chuan said. "But you still have to strengthen your own abilities and not pin your hopes on others."

"Yes." Yuriko Kiyokawa quickly agreed.

Absorb some monsters?

After the official establishment of the Corpse Agency, this suggestion was not completely unreliable.

Anyway, it has become the target of public criticism, so adding more pressure won't make any difference.

However, firstly, it is difficult to find monsters with fighting abilities. Secondly, what bargaining chips does he have to attract them and make them willingly fight for the Skeleton Society?

Pure wish power?

"Humans have actually served as weapons for aliens before." Kamio Hitomi said. "After all, the number of aliens is insufficient. They are not as large as humans and are easy to replenish."

"The power of ordinary people is of no significance at all in this kind of battle, right?" Xia Chuan asked back.

"Of course this is true for ordinary people in the general sense, but some people are born with certain talents, or have the blood of monsters. After training, such people can acquire the ability to deal with aliens through specific methods. Otherwise, how do you think humans rely on to kill aliens? Just relying on guns and cannons?"

"What kind of method?" Xia Chuan was very interested in this topic.

"Miracle maidens, priests, onmyojis, shamans, and wizards were all weapons created by aliens to fight for themselves. Monks and priests were also, but they are now members of human groups that have obtained extraordinary powers, not weapons of aliens. I have seen warriors called Shura in the monastic community. They are extremely powerful and their bodies are as hard as rocks. It is said that there were so-called paladins in the religious community who possessed inhuman powers. And the important members of the Watchers are said to be super soldiers created through drugs and genetic modification. You should be familiar with them?"

"Is there no method I can use?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Then it can only be the Onimusha." said Hitomi Kamio.

"Onimusha?"

"Because they have killed so many people, they naturally have a lot of resentment. However, because their will is too strong, their own hostility is strong enough to suppress and use this resentment, thus becoming a warrior with inhuman fighting power. During the war, many famous generals belonged to this type, and they even had the ability to fight against powerful monsters. However, it is hard to find such guys now."

A name suddenly flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

Kiryu Kazuyu?

Chapter 243

Natsukawa began to observe Kiryu Ichiryu.

This guy's will should be strong enough, and he probably has a lot of violence, but after all, this is a civilized world, and Xia Chuan can't let him kill people everywhere and become a so-called Onimusha.

Before that, he would have probably been killed by the joint wanted police and Akasaka.

Moreover, as Natsukawa's black glove, Kiryu Ichiryu can still play a lot of roles, and there is no suitable replacement for the time being. It would be a waste to train him as a Onimusha.

Compared with this, it would be better to let the shrine maidens work harder to cultivate the Shikigami and see the real effect of the Shikigami.

But before that, he decided to make one last attempt to save the two useless tanuki.

"Is this spiritual power for us?" Takahata looked at Yoshiyama, and Yoshiyama was also looking at him.

Faced with those two balls of high-purity spiritual power without any attached emotions, the two guys were obviously tempted, but hesitant.

"Why?" Xia Chuan asked. "Others spent tens of millions to buy this spiritual power from me, and now I give it to you for free, and you don't want it?"

"You don't want us to lead the charge, do you?" Takahata said with a sad face. "We really can't do it!"

"This is to protect Yuriko." Xia Chuan said. "Don't you want to be her warrior?"

The two raccoons became even more confused: "But, we really..."

"I will not allow my miko to be defiled by a weak and incompetent guy." Xia Chuan said. "Either you be brave, or leave this place forever and never come back. It's your choice."

"Don't be so heartless!" Takahata said hurriedly. "Although we didn't help you much, we have worked hard for you over such a long time. Haven't we been doing what we can do honestly?"

"Yes, yes! We have always followed your instructions and stayed at home honestly. We have never caused you any trouble!"

Is that because of my order? It's obviously because you guys just want to stay at home!

Xia Chuan simply wanted to kill them.

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it." Xiachuan said, then left them and went to Kiyokawa Yuriko.

The spiritual power that was given to her before seemed to have been completely absorbed by her, and her entire condition looked different.

"God, it's really..." Seeing Xia Chuan coming, she hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground. "I don't know how to repay your kindness!"

"how do you feel?"

"It's like I've been reborn!" Yuriko Kiyokawa replied. "Many things that I couldn't do before are now no problem!"

The good thing about monsters is that they can directly devour the spiritual power given by him to strengthen themselves. It would be great if humans could also accept spiritual power in this way.

"Do you feel you can continue?" Xia Chuan asked.

"I think it's OK." Qingchuan Yuriko said hurriedly. "God, please let me try again!"

"Then..." Xia Chuan then separated another ball of spiritual energy and gave it to her.

Before doing this, he asked Kamio Hitomi about the upper limit of monster abilities in a rather roundabout way.

One benefit of being exposed by Kamio Hitomi is that when she is willing, I can ask her some very basic and common sense questions for aliens. Otherwise, I have to keep up the airs of a powerful god, and there are many things that I can't bring myself to ask, and I don't know who to ask.

In fact, Xia Chuan has always had this question.

For the monsters, the result of devouring evil spirits that exceed their ability limit is that their rationality will be devoured by desire and anger, and they will lose basic judgment and logical thinking ability, thus losing control and being exposed to Akasaka or other enemies.

However, what would happen if, in this state, one simply gave up on oneself and continued to devour more evil spirits madly?

Can strength grow infinitely, eventually surpassing all enemies, becoming invincible at the cost of completely losing one's mind and becoming a madman?

This question made Kamio Hitomi laugh so hard that her body shook. After a while, she told Natsukawa like she was talking to a child that every monster had its own upper limit of ability. Not only that, even the so-called gods were the same.

Of course, this upper limit is not always constant, but can be improved through methods such as cultivation. However, the more powerful the existence, the more difficult it is to improve one's upper limit.

Of course, some races have high natural upper limits, while some races have very low natural upper limits. This is also the origin of the strength gap between the monster races.

"Thanks to this, the ancient gods created many demon tribes to help them, which gave rise to various aliens, and eventually allowed them to expel the gods. But it was also because of this that the aliens began to train and cultivate humans, and were eventually attacked by them and lost their rule over the world."

It turned out to be the case.

In fact, logically speaking, this is what should be the case.

"Is the upper limit of the raccoon cat very low?"
