"Kraken..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi is no stranger to this word, and he has heard a lot of information about the Kraken from the mouth of the Lord of Arakawa.

Including the battle of the Kraken invasion at the beginning, and those grievances.

He frowned and said in a condensed voice, "The Kraken has invaded in a big way? ”

"Isn't that right... The timing is wrong! ”

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts shook his head and said, "The wanton invasion is not a big invasion, it is just a [temptation]. ”

"I didn't know it at the time, but now I figured it out."

"It is not without extraordinary power among human beings."

"Take Kyoto as an example, there is the Yin and Yang Liao of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the son of the white fox is in charge, and the demons will not invade."

"Outside, there are Genji and Fujiwara Gongwei, both of which have an army of extraordinary swordsmen and onmyoji, which is enough to suppress Heiankyo."

"So... The lord of the Kraken was not stupid enough to be at home, and he didn't dare to make a desperate bet and attack on a large scale, but he just sent an advance team and chose the Kanto landing, wanting to try the reaction of the human race. ”

"It's going to hurt me..."

"In terms of individual extraordinary strength, I was not bad at that time, but how could I have an extraordinary army?"

"The soldiers under my command, against mortals, are considered to be well-armed, and against the sea demons, how can they win?"

"That's a demon! Cannibal! ”

"Collapse at the touch of a button, countless casualties!"

"As a last resort, I had no choice but to hastily organize the migration of civilians and go west, and I took the army to break the rear."

"As a result, that's what you see."

"I was stationed in Tama and held out for two days to block the attack of the seven waves of Kraken."

"Almost all of the soldiers under his command hung up the lottery, and there were heavy casualties."

"The strength of me and Ah Chi is enough to easily kill ordinary krakens, but the number of people on the other side... Too much. ”

"I've never seen so many youkai gathered together, marching in formation, in an orderly manner."

"The intended decapitation tactic can't be carried out - those tens of thousands of youkai are enough to overwhelm us, and we can't kill or penetrate at all."

"Ridiculous, right?"

"Originally, I was full of ambition, I felt that my swordsmanship was small, I was high-spirited, and my territory was constantly developing, but as a result... Just give me such a slap in the face. ”

"Almost everything that happened during that time reminded me of one thing."

"Even if I have cultivated my swordsmanship at home, and my sword qi can slash demons, it's just like that."

"I'm helpless against natural disasters, and I'm helpless against a large number of demons, so what's the use of me cultivating this sword?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked up suddenly.

"You're not going to give up, are you?"

“... No, no, I'm not going to give up anyway. ”

He asked and answered himself, as if he had already made up his mind.

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts nodded, and a cold color flashed between his eyebrows.

"I didn't give up, I just changed my mind."

"You and I have the same memory, so you should understand it, right?"

"The more I grow, the more I practice kendo, and the more I understand those transcendent beings, the more I will understand one thing deeply."

"Humans are creatures... There are limits. ”

"I'm not joking, I'm not joking."

"Listen to me--Kyoto's strongest onmyoji, Apei Qingming, the son of the white fox, relies on the combat power of [Shikigami]."

"What is Shikigami? It's a surrendered ghost! ”

"Genji's great general, Minamoto Yorimitsu, his swordsmanship is not as good as mine, his qualifications are just like that, what does he rely on? It's [Onibei]! ”

"A means of refining weapons for demons and practicing demons for weapons!"

"Ghost Cut, Ghost Soldier Department, you should know a little, you know, what I said is true!"

"They are all geniuses, far ahead on the way to transcendence, but they can't get rid of this shackle!"

"The shackles of a species called [Human]!"

The voice of the Lord of the Hyakki appeared in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi, and he was face to face with Uesugi Kiyoshi, eye to eye, with a solemn expression.

"I decided, I'm not going to be a human anymore."

This sentence was loud and ridiculous, but it made Uesugi unable to laugh.

"It doesn't matter if you become a ghost or god, even if you never live in Hades after death."

"Seeing my people die in vain, I will never allow this!"

"The aristocratic lord of Kyoto is not entirely stupid, and my father is mediating in it, and soon, reinforcements from Kyoto arrived."

"The son of the white fox heard that the situation was serious, and personally brought a lot of onmyoji to the battlefield, he is a person who knows the righteousness, plus the reinforcements from Kyoto, the Kraken's tentative attack was blocked, and they retreated."

"Only a mess of Kanto remains."

"I didn't have the shame to go back to Kyoto to face my father, so I stayed in Kanto to clean up the mess, and tried everything I could to find two paths."

"Number one, I'm looking for a way to push the limits of human beings, whether it's becoming a god or a ghost - as long as I succeed, I'll dare to try."

"Second, I'm looking for a shortcut for mortals to break through the extraordinary, the path of the Onmyoji requires the qualifications of mortals, and the cultivation technique of the ghost guards of Yuan Laiguang is too bloody, I can't get used to it."

"I'm trying to find a compromise."

As soon as the picture turned, the atmosphere of the surrounding battlefield changed suddenly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi is in a study, surrounded by scattered books.

Strange spirits, wild history legends, yin and yang seals, sword qi cultivation experience.

There's everything.

He saw a "self" sitting in front of the low case, his eyes blood-red, dark circles sunken, meditating, and looking haggard.

At the same time, the "self" was still muttering to himself.

"The method of refining the dog god?"

"The dog god is the soul that lingers in the world after the dog dies, and it can be attached to people, causing people to have fever, hallucinations, mental disorders, and do some unbelievable and very evil things..."

"Sounds like a supernatural power, but maybe it's useful for demons too..."

"I'll see how to do it..."

"In the land by the sea, there are people who have a disobedient vicious dog at home, and the owner cannot bear to kill it himself, so he abandons it on the rocks in the sea, and makes him scream and starve to death, and by chance, the soul of this vicious dog will turn into a dog god."

"There are two ways for the onmyoji to create a dog god, one is to raise a loyal dog from childhood to adulthood, cultivate feelings, and wait until the loyal dog becomes an adult, cut off its head, bury it under the road, and increase the resentment of its soul through the trampling of tens of millions of people, so that it can obtain the ability to bend over humans and manipulate humans."

"The second is to bury the dog alive in the ground, exposing only the head, put the food in front of it, let it only see, not eat, and when it is about to starve to death, cut off its head, and the head will fly out."

"Burn the dog's head down to the skull, and put it in a dish to make it serve the caster."

"Note: The formation of the dog god is related to the resentment of the dogs, and the success rate is extremely low..."

“...”

"It's this evil method again! The success rate is extremely low, can't those onmyoji grow snacks? ”

"This is the true solution of the Yin Yang Seal Technique that I asked for from the Son of the White Fox, why is it full of such third-rate methods?!"

"That bastard isn't kidding me, is he?!"

"Hey... That's it. ”

Pulling his hair hard, "Uesugi Kiyoshi" let out a long sigh.

"Let's take the long view... It's just that those Krakens are back, I don't know how long it will take..."

"There's not much time left for me..."
