Originally, Orochi had high hopes for Kuro Seimei, who was born with the help of his power.
Unfortunately, within a few days, Kuro Seimei made Orochi feel sorry for him. Doing the same thing as his other half, what's so interesting about that?
"I am truly terrified by such high praise from the evil god," Seimei said, shaking his head.
His strength is not enough to go toe-to-toe with Orochi like Kyosuke Kousaka, so he can only use the divine artifact to help him at the most appropriate time, which is nothing special.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
“I’m willing to say whatever the evil god wants to hear.”
"No need. What I'd like to see more is your struggle to the very end."
The Yamata no Orochi smiled and then swept its gaze over Kousaka Kyosuke and Susanoo.
Kyosuke Kosaka bluntly asked, "What are you keeping me in suspense for?"
"I'm not keeping you in suspense. I've painstakingly and honestly pushed each world onto the inevitable path and back to nothingness."
"Impossible! I clearly stopped you!"
Susanoo's expression turned serious, and he subconsciously looked at a certain spot where a sea of light had gathered together.
The result was a sudden discovery that a patch of light was disappearing at a visible rate...
"What exactly happened?" Seimei asked. "Could the evil god offer us an answer?"
The Yamata no Orochi looked at Seimei with pleasure, as if confirming the imminent demise of its prey.
“I’ve been here for more than just a few days. Perhaps the Creator God also wanted all worlds to return to their rightful place. When I arrived here, I accidentally discovered the nodes of the flow of time. By following the patterns of these nodes, I found a way to cleverly utilize time…”
Just like how murderers and criminals in movies and TV dramas recount their crimes with great relish.
The Yamata no Orochi was in the same state at this moment.
Kyosuke Kousaka was completely bewildered.
He never expected that an unknown plot would unfold here.
And it's a storyline that could drastically change one's own world!
"I won't let you succeed!" Susanoo said coldly. "There will definitely be a way!"
Orochi maintained his smile: "If you can stop it, then go ahead and stop it. This time, I'll be happy to watch how you struggle."
"go!"
Kousaka Kyosuke used his spiritual power to sweep towards Seimei with one hand, quickly heading towards the location where the light had disappeared.
Each of those points of light represents a parallel universe based on the era before the trial ceremony took place a thousand years ago.
Once all these points of light disappear, it means there is no hope left in the world.
He is no longer worried that the Yamata no Orochi will launch a sneak attack on him.
Orochi has his own dignity and does what he says. Although he likes to play word games in transactions, it doesn't mean he will do something that would be considered beneath him.
Of course, Kyosuke Kousaka was still secretly on guard.
The most important thing right now is to figure out a solution.
Soon, Kousaka Kyosuke, Susanoo, and Seimei arrived at the area where the countless points of light had disappeared...
“There’s still hope for things to be salvaged! I’ll contact Ara!” Susanoo said quickly.
Unexpectedly, a phantom figure flew towards them from where the light had disappeared.
"It's Lord Ara's aura!"
"Kousaka Kyosuke said, surprised, because the Ara he saw was dressed differently from what he remembered, and looked much younger."
The boy, who appeared to be just a phantom, showed no interest in pleasantries and began to speak to the group as soon as he arrived.
"The collapse of parallel universes is inevitable, but it hasn't spread to your world so quickly yet. However, the fate of all things in this world rests in this instant; you must seize the moment. I will activate the forbidden technique, the Cycle of Reincarnation, which requires the power of hope. That power of hope comes from you..."
Young Ara's gaze fell upon Kousaka Kyosuke and Seimei.
Seimei: "Does Lord Ara mean that we need to cross time and space to gather everyone's strength?"
"That's right. You all have connections with many people, and through these people, the power of hope will spread... I will gather these powers together, and that will be enough."
As soon as the boy Arakawa finished speaking, Kousaka Kyosuke saw a huge magic circle appear in front of him, and he seemed to see many familiar people in it...
462. In prayer, one by one
"It's everyone..."
Kyosuke Kosaka murmured something.
He saw his partner, friends, subordinates... and more than just these people in the formation!
There were even many people who seemed unfamiliar.
They weren't very familiar with her, but she looked somewhat familiar.
Are they all people related to me?
"In the name of Seimei, I summon you here across countless time and space!"
"Onmyoji, my shikigami, my friends, let's gather!"
Seimei had already formed the Kikyo Mudra with his hands facing the direction of the magic circle, and was focused on looking ahead.
One after another, faint and illusory lines gradually solidified and appeared in front of him.
Kousaka Kyosuke didn't delay any longer. Looking at the magic circle in front of him, he raised his hand as if to make contact with someone.
"In the name of Kyosuke, I summon you here across countless time and space!"
"Gather all those I know, and show your determination to fight against fate..."
Without saying much to stir up others' emotions, Kyosuke Kosaka calmly expressed his thoughts.
As the young man Huang said, now is the most important moment to change his fate.
Similarly, this is also the most serious moment.
During this period, Kyosuke Kosaka's emotions remained completely unchanged.
All emotions, including worries about those around them, anger towards the evil gods, and various other feelings, vanished without a trace.
At this moment, he was calmer than ever.
During his calmer moments, he seemed to hear the cries of countless people through those threads—
"a!"
"Kyosuke-sama!"
"Mr. Kyousuke..."
Different names, different voices.
Kyosuke Kosaka saw it and heard it.
His thoughts traversed that world that had been vibrant, prosperous, and dark, and was now crumbling.
Amidst the calls, the prayers of more and more beings struggling against fate resounded, emanating from the world where he had lived for almost two years.
Not only were there sounds, but also a continuous stream of hopeful light flowing toward him and toward the center of the magic circle.
"Xiangzi, Kagura..."
“Ah-Ba…it’s done…”
Kyosuke Kosaka stared at him, lost in thought.
at the same time.
Located in Kyoto, the capital city that has temporarily escaped the shroud of "nothingness" due to Susanoo.
First, the Onmyoji who heard Seimei's call sat on the ground praying. Many people who saw this scene inquired and gradually learned about the situation. Soon, the news spread throughout Kyoto at an astonishing speed...
Each and every one of them who longed to live and did not want to die was constantly praying that the suffering would just pass!
A main road leads to Kyosuke Kosaka's residence.
His companions had already clasped their hands together, bowed their heads, and silently called out to him.
The moment the boy Ara activated the magic circle, everyone "saw" Kyosuke Kousaka.
They saw Kousaka Kyosuke, looking somewhat disheveled, standing in front of an array with strange runes flashing.
Kaori: "Kyosuke-sama, you must do your best. Everyone is waiting for you."
Fujishikibu: "It's been quite a few days since we sat down and chatted together, please don't forget that..."
Sei Shonagon: "A new year is about to begin, so you can't go back on your promise to cook me the seven-herb porridge."
Komachi: "Kyosuke-sama, how long was that day exactly?"
Each woman is calling out to Kyosuke Kousaka in her own way.
Meanwhile, at the Prosecutor's Office...
Hikigaya, Ayanokoji, Shijo Tei, Horikita Manabu, and others, who rarely get together for a meal, also joined the ranks of those praying.
