I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Even Naya, according to the records displayed on the void screen, she and Inoue Ueya only met once, so naturally they couldn't be said to have a deep friendship.

"Whether it was Tenjin Elementary School or the Kyoto incident, the victims were strangers who had nothing to do with you. Did they really have to make you go to this extent?"

Zeus really couldn't understand Inoue Ueya's thoughts. There was obviously no benefit in it, so why would he go to the extent of reversing time and space to save those people he had never met before?

"Is profit really that important?"

Inoue Ueya looked at Zeus calmly and spoke forcefully, "Personal thoughts aside, the current situation is also related to the involvement of the Demon God. As the King of Lightning, I must shoulder a certain responsibility. Furthermore, I don't believe saving people requires a reason, and I don't want to leave any regrets by compromising... There is definitely a way to save them. As long as I keep thinking, I will find an answer."

After hearing Inoue Ueya's answer, Zeus remained silent, but nodded secretly in his heart. He was able to maintain his own opinion in the face of the questioning of the gods. Coupled with that serious sense of responsibility, both Inoue Ueya's personality and world outlook were similar to what he imagined, no, even exceeded his expectations. Although his actions were still a bit reckless, his decision to choose him as the successor was indeed the right one.

"By the way, even though the tragedy has already happened, and even though I can't use time reversal to change reality this time, I can still decide the ending of the story, right?"

In an instant, Inoue Ueya seemed to think of something, looked up at Zeus, showed a malicious smile, and pointed at Mulumulu who was sitting not far away and was addicted to the game.

"As far as I know, the Old Man Ring isn't on the market yet, and even the beta version isn't open yet. Could this game be brought from the future? They wantonly use the power of time for their own benefit. I never thought a god would actually violate the rules they set. It's really disappointing..."

Zeus' heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within him. He swallowed subconsciously and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to reverse time and space. But could you show me a little bit of your ability to manipulate time and causality?"

……

After a long time, Inoue Ueya's consciousness returned to his body, and what came into his sight was still the collapsed Nijo Castle.

[Hmm, this is taking longer than I thought. What's going on now?]

"Are you awake so soon?"

Arsen, who was controlling his body's movements, noticed that Inoue Ueya's consciousness was gradually recovering. After all, only a few minutes had passed. He didn't expect that Inoue Ueya, who had just lost consciousness, would recover.

Considering the burden that the transformation puts on the body, Arsen cancels the transformation after Inoue Ueya loses consciousness. At the strong request of Yashayuki, the severely exhausted "Inoue Ueya" and Natsukawa Hanako are left where they are, and Yashayuki sets out alone to support Nura Rikuo and his group in their battle.

Looking from the perspective of his body, Inoue Ueya saw that Yuyuko was concentrating on dealing with the attacks from Yashayuki and Nura Rikuo. Although he looked a little embarrassed, the giant black baby behind him did not suffer any harm from beginning to end.

Chapter 276: This is completely different from what the intelligence said!

Although the pitch-black giant baby did not suffer any damage, its surface was covered with cracks, as if it was about to shatter.

The monsters did not relax because of this. Instead, their expressions became solemn, because this scene was just like the black ball before. With the previous experience, this cracked appearance did not look like a failure of the technique. Instead, it seemed more like a hint that "Nue" was about to be successfully resurrected.

The old woman who emerged from the black ball last time was enough to annihilate all the monsters, not to mention the "Nue" itself who devoured the old woman and completed the resurrection. They simply could not imagine how terrifying the power of the former lord of demons and monsters was.

So, everyone subconsciously increased the intensity of their attacks. Even if their moves could not hurt the giant baby, they could still cause some trouble for Yuyuko.

Compared with the attacking monsters, Yuyuko now dares not ignore even the attacks of the small monsters, for fear that such a small attack will affect the reincarnation of "Nue", and she uses telekinesis to take all the attacks.

Having said that, after a long period of high-intensity combat, Yuyuko couldn't avoid showing signs of fatigue, and her combat power was not as strong as before. The physique of a great monster did allow her to gain the ability of rapid regeneration, but compared to the urban legend that one can gain "fear" at any time, the recovery speed of "fear" still has a limit after all.

Firstly, Yuyuko is not the nine-tailed fox as recorded in the legend. She was originally just an ordinary fox demon, and the nine tails were accumulated through multiple reincarnations. In fact, she is not a particularly famous monster. Secondly, after becoming a reincarnated monster, she needs to constantly change human hosts to act. There are only a few forces that really know her, so the source of "fear" will naturally not get any reputation bonus.

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking air came from behind. Yuyuko did not look back, but the tail behind her suddenly stabbed towards the source of the sound like a spear, directly piercing Nura Rikuo who appeared out of nowhere.

Although Yuyuko did feel the sensation of hitting the target from her tail, the terrified Nura Rikuo behind her gradually turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. It was obvious that she did not hit the real body.

The dissipated black smoke gathered again from a nearby location and transformed into a complete Nura Rikuo who appeared in Yuyuko's sight. He was surrounded by a stream of air, allowing him to move in the air temporarily.

"It seems that even though you've become a great youkai, you still can't see through my illusion, Yuyuko."

As he spoke, Nura Rikuo raised the Mimi Kirimaru and attacked the Feathered Fox again.

As Nura Rikuo and Tamashii entered the ghost entanglement state again, their ability could even use illusions to confuse Yuyuko's judgment while erasing their presence, creating an illusion that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Even Yuyuko could not completely see through his movements, just like the battle with Nura Nagisa hundreds of years ago, except that the opponent's ability had obviously become more terrifying.

Nura Rikuo's ability to be invisible made Kitsune Yugyo fearful. With the help of the raccoon demon's magic, he even gained the ability to move briefly in the air. However, in his ghost-entangled state, he did not have the power to break through the telekinesis. Facing the telekinesis barrier covering the giant black baby, the Mimi Kirimaru that could cause great damage to Kitsune Yugyo was like scrap metal. This demon-slaying sword that only targets monsters was unable to penetrate the defense of the telekinesis derived from the power of the alien demon god, let alone hurt the "Nue".

This is not a problem. Yuyuko thinks that the most dangerous guy at the moment is another person, the strange woman who is Den-O's partner, who looks like "Yashika-sama" and is staring at her with an angry face.

"Hayuko, I'm going to beat you until you cry!"

After witnessing Inoue Ueya being beaten by Yugyoko, how could Yashayuki remain indifferent? Seeing her husband being bullied, of course she had to fight back for him!

A golden torrent gushed out as Yashayuki swung his fist, and the violent spiritual power turned into golden light visible to the naked eye and shot directly at the Feathered Fox in the air. This beam of light composed purely of spiritual power was definitely a fatal killing move for monsters. The breath it emitted alone made the friendly monsters standing nearby instinctively want to retreat.

Even though Yuyuko had already anticipated this, she still couldn't help but secretly sigh. Then, with a thought, she used up her remaining "fear" to mobilize her telekinesis to move herself and the giant baby behind her to the side, narrowly avoiding the torrent of spiritual power from Yashayuki.

Yashayuki, who was fighting against Yugeko, already possessed a combat power that was not weaker than any big monster. Moreover, Yashayuki used spiritual power, a special power that had a natural restraining effect on monsters. Even if the light cannon did not receive the power bonus of the transformation, it would be a very difficult opponent for Yugeko.

Not only that, in such a short period of time from the beginning until now, Yasha Yuki has already used this unreasonable move twice, but there is no sign of fatigue on her face.

Yuyuko couldn't help but frown and secretly sighed in her heart. Although the Hachishaku clan was a rather low-key existence in the monster world, as the leader of the monsters in Kyoto, she naturally had no shortage of people to collect intelligence. Over the past thousand years, she had heard information about "Hachishaku-sama" from her subordinates.

Seeing that her move was dodged again, Yashayuki had to change her battle strategy. She stomped her left foot on the ground, leaving a circle of cracks. She then used the reaction force and the blessing of violent spiritual power to leap into the air, and continued to approach Yuyuko's position like a golden meteor.

As the "meteor" approached, Yuyuko vaguely saw the figure of Yashayuki in the dazzling golden light. She was approaching her at high speed with a flying kick.

Seeing this, Yuyuko's mouth corners unconsciously rose. She probably guessed what Yashayuki was thinking.

"The Yashaku clan is both eccentric and known as gods. Their whereabouts are elusive, making them a rather mysterious group. However, they are known for their mastery of illusions. I have never heard of anyone skilled in physical techniques like Yashaku-sama..."

Although this "Yashikami" does possess terrifying melee capabilities when possessing Den-O, the same cannot be said about the original body.

[Don't underestimate the enemy. No matter how you look at it, they are well prepared.]

Before the Skeleton Demon God could finish his words, he was denied by Yuyuko.

"No, there won't be any mistakes this time. Information about the Yashaku clan is extremely scarce in the world of monsters. She probably thought her true identity wouldn't be exposed, so she pretended to engage in close combat. In fact, she wanted to get closer to me and cast an illusion."

Even Yuyuko had to admit that Yashayuki's torrent of spiritual power did have the potential to kill her, but resorting to close combat would be the reason for her defeat!

There's nothing wrong with that. If we defeat her, there won't be anyone else to get in our way. Let's take this opportunity to annihilate them.

Yuyuko was convinced that the combat experience she had accumulated over the years of reincarnation was enough to kill Yashakuyuki. She first deployed a telekinetic barrier centered on herself, then tightly grasped the hilt of her katana with both hands, aiming the tip of her three-tailed katana at the gradually approaching Yashakuyuki...

Just when the two were about to collide, Yashayuki once again activated his spiritual power, and the "Golden Meteor" was further accelerated.

boom!

Yashayuki kicked the telekinetic barrier. Although the barrier successfully blocked the attack, Yuyuko still felt the terrifying force coming from Yashayuki, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Is this... "Yashika-sama" really a freak who's skilled in illusion? This is completely different from what the intelligence said! 】

"It's just an illusion. This is just a blow achieved with the help of impact force. What comes next will definitely..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuyuko saw that Yashayuki's spiritual power was actually directly entangled on the telekinesis barrier, creating a temporary foothold extending next to the telekinesis barrier.

Before Yuyuko could react, Yashayuki, who was standing on his foothold, clenched his fists and made some unknown boxing stance, but his eyes never left Yuyuko.

One punch, two punches, three punches, Yashayuki's fists kept hitting the invisible mental barrier. Her punch speed became faster and faster, and Yuyuko's vision was gradually overwhelmed by countless fist shadows.

Yuyuko, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and then he vomited blood uncontrollably. He looked at Yashayuki with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

How come she started to get hurt when the telekinetic barrier was still intact?

[Fist! This is the work of that Yashaku-sama. She's using a special method to infiltrate the power of her fist into the barrier!]

Chapter 277 He Will Need This Power One Day

"Ah da da da da da!"

Punches fell like rain, and Yashayuki's fists kept hitting Yuyuko's telekinetic barrier. The terrifying force actually penetrated the barrier directly and caused damage to Yuyuko himself.

Although Yasha Yuki has been unable to use illusions since childhood due to the abnormal nature of her spiritual power, her physical training over the years has not been in vain. Occasionally, some unexpected things from the outside world will flow into the Yasha clan. Yasha Yuki still vaguely remembers that when she was a child, she once picked up a combat comic book about a tough guy at the end of the century. Inspired by the assassination boxing method recorded in that story, this special force technique is a semi-finished product developed by Yasha Yuki.

It looked like a harmless punch, but the actual attack was hiding terrible lethality. Don't look at Yuyuko's miserable appearance with blood spitting out of her mouth, this was the result of the telekinesis barrier blocking most of the damage for her. If the same move hit other people or ordinary monsters, the force would be enough to shatter all of the opponent's internal organs. Although if spiritual power is not injected into the fist, there will not be the exaggerated effect of making the target explode on the spot like in the story, but the power of the fist alone is already very strong. However, because the move is too bloody, Yashayuki will naturally not use this move casually.

Until this moment, Yuyuko had to accept the fact before her. The pain in her body reminded her all the time that this was not an illusion, and she was obviously misled by the known information.

Yuyuko felt a tearing pain in her chest, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. She knew that her injuries were getting worse due to the influence of Yashayuki's strange boxing skills. The power that could directly penetrate the mental barrier and infiltrate into her body was too dangerous. She had to distance herself from Yashayuki as soon as possible.

"I can't fall down yet. Qingming is just a short while away from being resurrected!"

With a thought, Yuyokuni released the telekinetic barrier that was entangled by the golden spiritual power, and then threw a telekinetic bullet with his backhand to interrupt Yasha Yuki's action of continuing to chase, and then moved towards the sky without hesitation, fearing that he would be caught by Yasha Yuki again.

Seeing that Yuyuko quickly distanced herself from her after removing the barrier, Yashayuki stopped chasing her and fell to the ground, because her goal had been achieved. This battle was not a one-on-one duel.

Yuyuko had just escaped from Yashayuki's attack and before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, a flash of a knife flashed from behind her.

Whether it's a human or a monster, any creature with the ability to think will have the possibility of being distracted. When Yuyuko escaped the crisis of death, it was the time when she began to relax.

When Yashayuki and Yugeko were fighting, Nura Rikuo had been hiding his breath and waiting for the opportunity to attack, and Yugeko did reveal a flaw.

There is no doubt that now is the best time to take action.

[Oh no, watch out behind! ]

Between life and death, a telekinetic force burst out from Yuyuko's body. The possessed Skeleton Demon God finally couldn't help but take action, barely deflecting Nura Rikuo's attack trajectory, successfully allowing Yuyuko to avoid the fatal blow, but failed to avoid the fate of being injured.

laugh!

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard softly. Hundreds of years later, Mimi Kirimaru's blade once again caused damage to Yuyuko. Blood splattered everywhere, and a scream echoed from the air.

"what……"

Yuyuko covered her bloody left hand. The injury didn't look serious but it wouldn't heal. A dark and ominous aura kept flowing out of the wound and her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Mimi Kirimaru was a terrifying demon-exorcising sword made by the 13th head of Hanakaiin. The damage it caused to monsters was not comparable to that of ordinary swords.

Even if there was only a cut on her arm, the little "fear" in Yuyuko's body began to flow out uncontrollably. In her prime, she would not take such an injury seriously, but for her now, that little bit of "fear" was enough to determine whether she could continue to fight.

Although the attack failed, Nura Rikuo did not stop. The tip of Mimi Kirimaru's knife was aimed at the weak Feathered Fox again, and then stabbed straight out.

That giant black baby, no, or "Nue" that exudes a terrifying aura all the time, is a dangerous existence for everyone. As the lord of all demons, Nura Rikuo has the responsibility to protect the monsters under his command. Although he still hasn't gotten the answer from Yuyuko, Nura Rikuo no longer intends to waste time entangled with Yuyuko.

As long as the telekinesis enveloping the Nue does not dissipate, even Nura Rikuo holding the Mimi-Kirimaru will not be able to prevent the Nue from resurrecting, so he has to defeat the Feathered Fox first.

"I'm sorry, please leave here."

Just when Yuyuko was about to die under Nura Rikuo's sword, a powerful energy wave came from above, accompanied by a terrible impact force. Nura Rikuo and Yuyuko were unable to resist and fell uncontrollably from the air.

At this moment, the "shell" of the giant black baby finally shattered.

……

The Cathedral of Karma.

At this time, Zeus was lying on the floor, supporting his head with one hand, looking at the game screen in front of Mulumulu without saying a word, just like a decadent uncle watching TV at home, but his expression seemed a little depressed, because the game controller had not been back in his hands for a long time, and the request made by Inoue Ueya before was also confusing.

"Alas, if he inherits my throne as a god, he will gain the power to do whatever he wants. Why hasn't he brought this up yet?"

Originally thought that Inoue Ue was beginning to be interested in the succession, Zeus excitedly displayed in front of him many powerful abilities involving time, space and causality, hoping to use his powerful force to attract him to make up his mind to jump into this big pit of infinite overtime hell.

Unexpectedly, after reading it, Inoue Ueya said that he wanted to go back to the real world. As a result, he never mentioned the matter of succession until Zeus sent him back!

"Forget it. I've lived this long anyway, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. As long as Inoue Ueya remains the arrogant man who tries to save everyone, he will need to use this power one day..."

Although the games in the real world are quite interesting, they are just that to Zeus. As a god, he can't even remember how long he has lived, not to mention that there is nothing in this world worth his nostalgia.

But Zeus's gaze shifted away from the game screen in the distance, and he stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, as if he remembered something, and vaguely felt that something was wrong with the request made by Inoue Ueya.

"Speaking of which, since that guy has no intention of succeeding to the throne, does he have any other purpose in asking me to demonstrate my strength?"

Chapter 278 Zhen, Zhenzi, you are finally back

Inoue Ueya, who regained control of his body, waved his hands and feet slightly, and then he felt waves of pain all over his body, making him frown subconsciously.

"Well, the fight just now was indeed a bit reckless."

Not only was the long transformation a physical burden, but Inoue Ue also inevitably suffered some injuries in several battles, and there were several bruises on his face. Although it was not to the point where he could not fight, his movements were somewhat affected.

But now is not the time to care about such things. Inoue Ueya looked up and saw that the giant black baby, or the collection of resentment, had begun to break apart. What they had to face next was the successfully reincarnated "Nue".

In any case, Inoue Ueya was still worried about letting Yashayuki and other monsters fight against the "Nue" like this. Based on his memories before the time travel, Inoue Ueya knew that the "Nue" at least knew astronomical manipulation and outrageous moves like pinching black holes with his bare hands. It would not be surprising that he had the means to restrain monsters and weird things. It would be strange if he didn't have them. After all, the other party was a famous Onmyoji. That guy even swallowed an old woman who was suspected to be Naya's clone not long ago. His strength should become even stronger. Now is obviously not the time to continue standing at a distance and watching the battle.

"It's almost time for this farce to end."

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya turned to look at Natsukawa Hanako beside him.

"Next is the final battle of this trip to Kyoto. Hanako, can you still keep fighting?"

Although Inoue Ueya asked such a question, before Natsukawa Hanako could speak, he read the answer he wanted to know from the bad girl's fighting eyes.

Hanako Natsukawa grinned and responded without hesitation, "Do you even need to ask? I can't miss the opportunity to challenge a strong opponent!"

"I won't say anything more. Even if I tell you I can't continue fighting, you'll still plan to fight alone, right?"

After experiencing the battle at Tenjin Elementary School and then living in the Inoue family for a long time, Hanako Natsukawa has almost figured out Inoue Ueya's character. This idiot will not leave others alone.

Inoue Ueya smiled, turned around to look at where "Nue" was, and took a step forward.

"Well, let's go, let's put an end to the Battle of Kyoto..."

Before he could finish his words, a white hand emerged from behind Inoue Ueya and pinched his ear precisely.
