Chapter 210 We Onmyoji Aren't Taking the Blame
"Hahaha~ It's born! It's born! Long live Lord Hagoromo Gitsune!!"
Hmph~ Everything has been going smoothly so far. Although the incident involving Yu Bai and Abe no Seimei suddenly occurred, it doesn't matter. Under such pressure, Nue will only be more eager to be born.
Gazing at the infant in the sky, a joyous cheer echoed from a hidden corner of Nijo Castle. There, a one-eyed demon hid in a dark, unnoticed spot, his eyes gleaming with madness and anticipation.
This one-eyed demon is none other than Aojizo, one of the masterminds who conspired with Nue to create this birth event.
His true form is the eyeball of Yamamoto Gorozaemon, the leader of the Edo Hyakumonogatari group. Now he only needs to wait for Lord Nue to arrive and finally hand over the Demon King's mallet to Nue.
At that time, their long-cherished wish, which they had been planning for a century, will be realized.
As for whether Aojizang knew Nue's true identity?
Of course he knew; as one of the masterminds, he and Nue had been plotting in Hell for a century.
During this period, he even brainwashed Yamabuki Otome, making her the host of Hagoromo Gitsune, and even helped her be reborn as a little girl to be by the side of Nura Rihan, the second leader of the Nura Clan at the time.
Using the body of Rihan Nura's ex-wife, Otome Yamabuki, as a host, he personally murdered Rihan Nura. This resulted in Rikuo Nura witnessing his father being killed by Hagoromo Gitsune when he was young.
Aojizo's idea was completely in line with Nue's; they believed that one Abe no Seimei was enough for the world.
Once the Nue is truly born, along with the Demon King's little hammer, they are confident they can defeat even the real Abe no Seimei.
At that time, Lord Nue will naturally become the new "Abe no Seimei".
At this moment, Hagoromo Gitsune was standing on the infant in the sky. In order to buy enough time for her child, she began to bewitch the monsters below.
"In the past, humans and darkness coexisted, and we, the incarnations of darkness, were always by their side. But!" Hagoromo Gitsune's voice grew louder and louder, and the emotions within it became more and more intense.
"However, those humans will not remain pure and kind forever; sooner or later they will be tainted, and their ugly nature will take over their hearts. Those they trusted and those they loved betrayed them repeatedly over hundreds of years, plunging them into despair."
My wish is to fill this world with pure things, namely darkness, boundless darkness, flawless darkness!
As Hagoromo Gitsune finished speaking, her demonic aura surged, and she began to perform a magical girl transformation in front of everyone. Although the sailor uniform she wore after transforming wasn't as short as Sailor Moon's, it was still very modern.
After transforming, Hagoromo Gitsune wore a black sailor uniform and carried a schoolbag unique to Japan. With a light leap, she nimbly landed on a still-standing pillar, looking down at the yokai below, and continued speaking.
“Like this black hair, these black eyes, this black clothes, all is complete darkness. So, I need you, servants of pure darkness, to protect him.”
"Oh!!!!"
The monsters below, swayed by Hagoromo Gitsune's words, erupted in deafening cheers and launched a fierce attack on the Nura Clan and the Onmyoji of Keikain.
As for why they didn't target Yu Bai and his group?
Firstly, they were currently standing on Gilgamesh's spaceship, at a height inaccessible to the demons; secondly, Abe no Seimei's move had directly intimidated some of the demons, instilling in them the idea that they were invincible, making them hesitant to challenge Yu Bai and his group's strength.
Therefore, for a moment, all the monsters, whether they could fly or not, ignored Yu Bai and his group high in the sky.
"ah????"
Looking at the fierce fighting below, Yu Bai couldn't help but make the face of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
He simply couldn't believe his eyes and ears. How could these monsters be so easily bewitched by Hagoromo Gitsune's words?
Wait, how come you guys are so excited?
Hagoromo Gitsune's words were so embarrassing that I wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of my toes. In other words, she wanted to create a world where only yokai existed.
And during the conversation, there was a dramatic transformation into a beautiful girl, and that last sentence... wasn't that just narcissism?
That's definitely narcissism, isn't it?
Does this mean you'll blindly believe it?
Are all modern-day monsters so simple, honest, and easily fooled?
This made Yu Bai momentarily compare the monsters of Heian-kyo with the group of monsters in front of him.
Think of the Yamata no Orochi back then, and the later corrupted Onikiri. And think of all the great and lesser demons from that era.
Conversely, comparing this group of demons who are easily fooled into charging into battle by just a few words, Yu Bai was unsure whether to marvel at how Hagoromo Gitsune still possessed the potential to become a failed art student, or to lament that the demons of today are truly getting worse with each generation.
Not to mention Yu Bai, even Bu Yue, Abe no Seimei, and Gilgamesh, who were standing to the side, found the unfolding of this matter unbelievable.
Then, Fuyuki and Gilgamesh's gazes fell on Abe no Seimei without any attempt to conceal their intentions, their eyes clearly saying: Is this how you Onmyoji and the world of yokai operate? I don't really understand your methods.
Abe no Seimei, who was being stared at by Futsuki and Gilgamesh, was also speechless.
The Onmyoji and the yokai from before were all normal, okay? The abnormal ones are all the yokai of this generation. Please don't blame the Onmyoji, thank you.
"I've...I've made it through."
"Is it just my imagination? It seems like there are so many more!"
The Nura Clan, Tono Clan, and Keikain family below began to struggle against the attack of these yokai.
"So, it still couldn't stop the birth of Nue? Even if the real Abe no Seimei were here, it wouldn't have mattered?"
Yura Hanakain bit her finger as she pondered how to deal with the situation.
"Just now, they said 'protect'?"
Standing behind her, holding the Miyabi-kirimaru, Nura Rikuo pondered what Hagoromo-Gitsune had just said. What was going on? Could it be that Nue was currently unable to fight? And that's why she needed protection?
The word "protect" instantly made Keikain Hidemoto understand something: "Yes, I see. Since protection is needed, it means Nue can't act right now, because the infant's state isn't perfect yet, right? Plus, Lord Seimei's lightning spell just now. He needs time to become human, and we can still stop him now!"
Upon hearing this, Nura Rikuo and Keikain Yura Nue understood, and they said in unison, "As long as we use Mimi-kirimaru/Hakuni at this moment, then we can!"
……
Yu Bai: So, it turns out that Hagoromo Gitsune has the potential to become a failed art student? Look how well she's fooled these monsters.
Fuyuki & Gilgamesh: (Looking at Abe no Seimei) Stare~~ We don't understand your world.
Abe no Seimei: We Onmyoji won't take the blame for this, thank you.
