(Thanks to the Round Table of Zero and the Emperor of the Remnant for the tip, is this a New Year's gift?) ）

"Tsuchinomiya Kagura?"

Huang Quan briefly told Shiki what had just happened, and after listening to her words, Shiji fell into deep thought.

The Nine-Tails in the distance were still attacking them, rows of pillars of light falling down and stirring up waves on the sea, the originally dim sea was pale from time to time, and the wind rolled up angry waves, which looked more terrifying than any storm, even if it did not break through the defense, it made Huang Quan feel a doomsday-like aura.

"Are you sure she's still alive?"

"Hmm...... Probably. ”

Huang Quan glanced at Hakuei, Kagura's situation in the Nine-Tails was all guided by Hakuei.

"It's rude."

Maintaining his defense, Shiki came to Hakuei's side and put his hand on its head.

Shirai is not a domestic pet and will never be easily approached, but it does not attack the contact of the four seasons.

"Tell me what happened to your master."

Originally, Bai Rong still looked a little resistant, but after Shiki finished speaking, he relaxed, and after a few seconds, Shiki withdrew his hand.

"How?"

"It's almost certain that Kagura isn't dead."

"Really?"

This news lifted Huang Quan's spirits, but seeing the serious expression of the four seasons, he knew that things might not be so simple.

"So what's the problem?"

"It's impossible to survive in that environment, but if what happened to Tsuchinomiya Kagura is not mistaken, she won't be hurt at all."

And the source of the Nine-Tails' power has also been figured out.

"She was chosen as a dark witch."

"How is that possible?"

Huang Quan couldn't hide the consternation on his face at all.

"Dark Witch ......"

"The Dark Witch, the executor of the final judgment chosen by this planet."

When the cleansing plan enters the final stage, the planet will choose one person among the humans to become a black witch, and then destroy the human race together with the black spirit beast Kirin, and the corresponding person will be selected as the white witch and the white spirit beast to become the hope of saving humanity.

Black and white, destruction and salvation, make up the two sides of this world, and the planet has given all the last power to humans.

Shiki felt that this should be the greatest kindness of the planet, and it was this that made him believe that the planet did not hate humans.

"How so? Isn't that supposed to be after Naraku's birth? ”

"The Black Spirit Beast should also appear in Naraku, but now it has also appeared in advance."

Although it is uncertain, it is likely that the actions of Santuhe and Hiroshi and others changed the situation, contributing to the birth of the Black Spirit Beast and the Black Witch.

"The most crucial thing is that I saw in Shiraei's memories that Tsuchinomiya Kagura was releasing miasma, which is the ability of the Black Shrine Maiden to unleash endless miasma on behalf of the dark side of the world. It was when the Black Spirit Beast recognized this that it would cut off her connection with Hakuei and take her away. ”

It is precisely because of this that the Nine-Tails incarnated by the Black Spirit Beast will have a steady stream of power.

"But the Dark Witch shouldn't—"

(-Me?) ）

If everything goes according to the original direction, then Yellow Springs will be resurrected as the Black Shrine Maiden and carry out the final plan of destruction, and Kagura will be the White Shrine Maiden who will stop her from saving the world.

"Everything is different from what it used to be."

The four seasons turned their heads to look at the Yellow Spring.

"Different ......"

Huang Quan understood what it meant, and everything had changed in the time she had been away.

The people who were chosen as the Dark Shrine Maiden all had a desire to destroy the present world, and now Huangquan has felt Kagura's determination, which is the ultimate desire to destroy everything.

Why do you want to do this? Huang Quan couldn't ask such a question at all, because she understood that no one knew Kagura better than her. Even though there are many differences on the surface, the two of them are so similar at the core, so she understands Kagura's choice.

I want to destroy this world, I want to break the shackles of this world, and I want to shatter all the rules.

Huang Quan thought of the prophecy he had seen, and the current situation seemed to be an omen.

"Did you feel any changes in yourself after the contract with Shirai?"

Shiji's words interrupted Huang Quan's thoughts and saved her from the abyss of bitterness.

"Huh? No? ”

Huang Quan didn't understand why Shiki asked that.

"Yes."

Shiki didn't say much. Tsuchinomiya Kagura will turn into a black witch, and at this time, Huang Quan has just reached a contract with the white spirit beast Bai Rong. Although it is an accident, even if it is difficult to perceive, these subtle accidents may be the result of some kind of guidance. If the speculation of the four seasons becomes a reality, then it is not without chance.

"So what now?"

If Kagura becomes a black witch, she will definitely want to destroy humanity next.

"Everything went according to plan."

"Are you okay?"

"Of course."

Shiki nodded without hesitation, even if Kagura became a dark witch it didn't affect his plans.

The attack from the Nine-Tails has not stopped, and if it continues, it will remain deadlocked for a long time. It's just that judging from the other party's actions now, the other party is acting completely on instinct, and Kagura has not yet fully controlled the black spirit beast. If Kagura's consciousness had returned, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been in this state. Now although the Black Spirit Beast and the Black Witch have appeared in advance, the Nine-Tails have not really been resurrected, nor have they made Naraku appear, so it is impossible to carry out the final cleanup. So the other party will definitely want to resurrect the Nine-Tails next.

Miyuki and Hatsuzakura have no news yet, and they don't know what happened to the killing stone, although Shiki also wants to resurrect the Nine-Tails, but if the Black Witch enters Naraku, it will destroy the human race immediately, then his plan will be in vain, and he must be left with a period of time between the resurrection of the Nine-Tails and the Black Witch entering Naraku.

Just as the four seasons were thinking about this, a strong force suddenly erupted from the island not far away, and that power was very obvious to be the Nine-Tails, and it was not the Nine-Tails incarnated by the Black Spirit Beast.

"Nine-Tails resurrected?"

Huang Quan turned his head and saw that the island was shrouded in a cloud of light, making it difficult to see inside.

According to the original arrangement, even if Miyuki and Hatsuzakura recovered all the killing stones, they didn't plan to resurrect the Nine-Tails immediately, and this kind of thing could only happen.

"Four Seasons...... Huh? ”

Huang Quan noticed that Shiki's expression, which had lacked expression change, had a clear look of nervousness, and he only seemed a little serious about knowing about Kagura before, which made her even suspect that the world was about to be destroyed.

Just when she wanted to ask Shiki what was going on, Shiki had already disappeared in a flash, and she didn't even pay attention to the enemies behind her, she only heard the sound floating when Shiki disappeared.

"Hatsu Sakura!"
