Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1496

Susanoo was clearly not buying their act and spoke up quite directly.

"My divine essence will transform into a barrier to protect the land of Heian-kyo!"

"Let me hold up the heavens, and push you and the Gates of the Six Paths back to the highest heavens—"

Having said that, Susanoo instantly transformed into a giant, and the infinitely large golden giant raised his hands to catch the Six Paths Gate, which was about to crush the earth.

Then, the Gate of Six Paths was lifted to a position that was almost invisible to ordinary people at an extremely fast speed.

It can be confirmed that it was a place far away from Kyoto, the Heian-kyo.

With his considerable strength, Kousaka Kyosuke was able to see Susanoo's every move.

In his worldview.

Susanoo sealed the massive Six Paths Gate with his lightning chains, then looked down at Kyoto and raised his hand towards it.

At that very moment, Kyoto was immediately enveloped by a massive golden barrier.

I bet many people feel incredibly safe now.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka also noticed something that needed to be noted.

That is, after the gates of the Six Paths were temporarily sealed and the surging torrent of "nothingness" rushing towards Kyoto was blocked, Susanoo, who had transformed into a golden giant, slowly returned to his original form, and many "nothingness" began to unconsciously surge towards him.

This is incredible!

Kyosuke Kousaka moved quickly over.

Just as he was about to go and help, he discovered that a blue yin-yang light had enveloped Susanoo and instantly driven "nothingness" aside.

"Seimei, you're really fast!"

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Seimei, who appeared beside Susanoo in a flash, with a look of amazement on his face.

He never expected that Seimei would also learn the teleportation spell so quickly.

Furthermore, it is a teleportation technique imbued with the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang.

As expected, this protagonist, whose Yin-Yang skills are maxed out, is truly extraordinary.

"You should rest for a while..." Seimei looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with concern, then at Susanoo. "I am Seimei, an Onmyoji from Kyoto. I took action this time only to protect my home."

Susanoo looked at Seimei and then at Kousaka Kyosuke, his expression remaining almost unchanged.

"You two have quite the guts to try and interfere in the war of the gods."

"My name is Kyosuke."

Kyosuke Kosaka gave a name at the opportune moment to make himself known.

He wanted to continue fighting on the front lines in the future, so he hoped to make more arrangements for himself with Susanoo, Ara, and others.

"I'm too weak. I should get stronger through battle."

It's obvious that Kyosuke Kousaka knows that with his current strength, he would most likely perish if he went to the Central Plains.

It's probably the kind that doesn't even allow for reincarnation.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka returned to his old rhythm.

While he was happy and content to have married, bought property, and lived a carefree life in Japan for a while, he regretted that he knew he couldn't continue down this path of decadence.

During those days of time travel.

Kyosuke Kosaka also made the acquaintance of a group of people.

Although almost all of these people are dead, with only Longkui, the sword spirit, remaining, it doesn't mean that Kousaka Kyosuke won't seek revenge.

Furthermore, some of the souls of those who died with him still retained their will and were sealed inside the Demon Sword. Kousaka Kyosuke also had to go to the underworld in the Central Plains to find a better path to reincarnation and settle them.

In short, Kyosuke Kousaka has no intention of staying.

"Leaving aside Nuwa's plans, everything I did was entirely from my own heart and had nothing to do with her or anyone else."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

While contemplating other matters, he also silently followed Seimei and Susanoo.

The group planned to return to the front lines in Kyoto for further discussions.

When I returned to Kyoto.

Kyoto has restored order at a very fast pace, with soldiers tidying up the messy area.

The "nothingness" receded, the darkness dissipated, and the light returned, illuminating Kyoto. Countless faces gradually relaxed, as if the great battle had already ended.

Knowing that the great war had entered its second phase, Kousaka Kyosuke had no intention of attacking them.

Given the current situation, perhaps if things continue to develop, the conflict could indeed be temporarily kept away from this capital city.

"The Onmyoji of Kyoto, the whole world is a land of gods, and this Kyoto, your so-called home, is merely a corner of the divine court. If the divine court is beset by ferocious beasts, do you intend to rely on the gods instead of manipulating plants to rise up in rebellion?"

He then set foot on the land of Kyoto, where Susanoo advised him based on the words that Seimei had previously spoken to him.

Hearing the cold tone and content, Kyosuke Kosaka almost thought Susanoo was a villain.

Isn't this a bit too stubborn?

Quick, Seimei, unleash your verbal skills!

The fact is that Seimei was no less skilled with words than anyone else.

"You must understand that trampled weeds will still rise up and stand upright, and gnawed grass and trees will grow new branches. They will all resist their own destiny in adversity."

"Is this minuscule power being gambled on that vague and uncertain possibility?"

"Lord Susanoo, how short a human life may seem to you, yet it is a long and fulfilling life for humanity itself. Just like a dragonfly that cannot live through a summer, yet dances for the gentle breeze."

Seimei spoke solemnly to Susanoo.

Upon hearing this, Susanoo revealed a strange smile.

"I have also seen fireflies that lived for several days, but they are not stingy with their light."

"That's right! This minuscule power, like that fragile and elusive possibility, is still our hope for the future."

Seimei spoke even more sincerely.

After thinking about it, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to lend a hand as well.

"Actually, no one has a choice. If we don't fight, we can't create a future. Who knows, we might just win?"

"..."

Susanoo, who was about to encourage Seimei, was stunned.

Shiro, who was listening intently at Seimei's feet and was feeling quite excited, suddenly slumped over and collapsed with a thud.

Kyosuke-sama! Don't say anything that might ruin the atmosphere right now!

Saying that would be like denying everyone's efforts... although that's certainly true.

“In any case,” Susanoo thought for a moment and then said, “you humans have all gained the courage to face the gods, just like humans before. If any of you here still have this ambition, then state your names.”

"Shiro! I am Lord Seimei's shikigami!"

The quick-witted Xiaobai immediately shouted out his name.

The grand atmosphere was ruined by Kyosuke Kousaka, but it's okay, Shiro believes he can definitely salvage it!

"Kagura, an Onmyoji from Kyoto."

"Longkui! Kyosuke's sword spirit!"

Kagura and Longkui seemed to want to salvage the atmosphere, and after Xiaobai finished speaking, they formally introduced themselves to Susanoo.

Yaobikuni smiled and stepped forward.

"I am Yaobikuni, an ordinary fortune teller, and I am nothing compared to the tenacious Onmyoji present here."

So you still gave your name?

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered to himself.

At this point, announcing one's name is essentially a declaration to Susanoo that one is going to fight the evil god.

However, everyone present, even an ordinary soldier, probably understood that this was their only best option.

We can't just kneel and let the evil gods humiliate us, can we?

It's better to fight back properly.

"Minamoto no Hiromasa, an Onmyoji from Kyoto." Minamoto no Hiromasa's self-introduction was no different from Kagura's.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost wanted to follow a unified narrative.

Considering that he had already introduced himself to Susanoo, doing it again would be a bit too frivolous, so he refrained from doing it.

"Kyoto is safe for now, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely safe. So we still need to solve the problems of the Six Paths Gate and the root of those evil gods."

Seeing that Susanoo remained silent, Kousaka Kyosuke pondered the next question.

Suddenly, Susanoo's expression changed noticeably; he seemed to be smiling, a smile that revealed his joy.

"Is it Huang? So you've come here too. The last time I saw you, you were still nagging that you would grow to my shoulder height sooner or later, but you've grown so fast. In another thousand years, I'm afraid I'll be below your shoulder."

So it turns out they're the type who's more enthusiastic towards acquaintances?
