Chapter XXXVII
The dragon god, the god of Gensokyo.
Wu Ye always feels that he has a wonderful fate with these two words recently, and he seems to have pretended to be him a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Wu Ye's eyes were a little surprised, and from Yakumo Zi's words, he seemed to hear a secret that was not quite the same as the legend.
"You're the third."
Yakumo smiled gracefully, even though there was no smile in her eyes at all.
"The third?" Wu also frowned, he didn't understand what Yakumo Zi was hinting at, but fortunately, this time the other party had no intention of selling Guanzi.
"The ability to manipulate the realm, Wu Ye, you are the third."
"Realm ......" Wu Ye was stunned, remembering what Yakumo Zi had said before, he suddenly realized: "Could it be ......?!" β
"That's right," a dangerous smile tugged at the corner of Yakumo's purple mouth, "As far as we know, you are the third, and besides ourselves, the other is-"
β....... Ryujin? Takeya tried to guess, and Yakumo's calm expression proved this shocking fact.
"To be honest, now that we think about it, we also feel that all this is amazingly similar, obviously you are just going to pretend to be the dragon god, and you are really going to grow in his direction."
The indifference in Yakumo's purple eyes made Wu Ye's heart cold, but the other party quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we know what is going on with Wu Ye's realm power, so we will definitely not be bored enough to doubt you." β
"......" Wu also wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he subconsciously became nervous, and the reason was not even known to him.
"Let's remember that time, probably more than a thousand years ago, when Gensokyo had not yet been established, and the contradiction between people and monsters had been placed on the front of history."
Yakumo Zi showed a look of reminiscence, although the revenge in her mouth and the hatred in her eyes did not seem to be fake, but when she talked about the past, her already desperate heart would still be unconsciously flooded with the slight sweetness of that memory.
"One day, as if it had appeared out of nowhere, he, the dragon god, appeared in our world."
"At a time when we are still feeling lost about our dreams for the future, his appearance is the beginning of our change."
"Gensokyo - no one can cry, everyone can get a happy world, he was the one who first proposed this plan."
"While we were still worried about the coming war, he came up with a plan so perfect that it was almost impeccable, as if he had done the same."
"We used to doubt him, because his presence was so unconscionable, his presence solved all difficulties, and even he appeared as if he was deliberately there to help us build Gensokyo."
"However, our friends choose to believe him, we don't know why, but we also have an indescribable sense of familiarity with him, which can be said to be closeness."
"Now that I think about it, it should be because we have the same ability as him, which made us have such a ridiculous delusion."
"Obviously a sneaky villain who wears a mask and even hides his true appearance, he can make us all choose to trust him at the same time, I have to say that this is also an unexplainable question."
"Either way, his presence made our plans much smoother."
"Monsters, human beings, all of us are unknowingly played by us, using war as a bargaining chip, taking victory and defeat as a price, and we are moving towards a better future where our dreams come true."
"The smooth and pleasant cooperation made our vigilance almost completely disappear, and by that day, we were almost treating him as a friend, really, just a little bit."
"Therefore, we absolutely cannot forgive, Dragon God, the despicable person who betrayed us and deceived us, only his death can eliminate this resentment."
The waves on the surface are not terrible, but the undercurrent hidden deep under them is the biggest killing opportunity.
Yakumo Zi's cultivation has always been very good, so being able to make her tremble slightly when she speaks is definitely not easy compared to the hatred for the dragon god.
So, what she said about revenge-
"There are two reasons to protect Gensokyo," Yakumo said lightly, holding up a finger, "First, this place means something extraordinary to us, so we must protect it." β
"And the secondβ"
The moment the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time exploded, the feeling of suffocation as if his whole body had sunk to the bottom of a cold lake enveloped Takeya.
Yakumo said in a mocking voice, "Isn't it very interesting to take revenge on him with the masterpiece he worked so hard to complete?" β
β......β
To be honest, it's not that Takeya can't understand Yakumo's thoughts, but it's more ...... Lament.
"Gensokyo is an existence of extraordinary knowledge, and all the monsters, humans, and even gods in it, we are sure to unify them."
That's the confidence of the monster sage, Yakumo Purple will never do something that he is not sure of, and naturally he will not be untargeted.
"This Gensokyo is a fortress against that guy, and all the forces here are prepared for the war that will come in the future."
"Is it strong?" Wu Ye suddenly asked, "Dragon God, is he very powerful?" β
Speaking of this, Yakumo Zi was slightly silent for a while, and then said, "Very strong. β
She said in a tone that seemed unwilling but vaguely disdainful: "The dragon god is the strongest existence we have ever seen, if we rely on it alone, I am afraid that even the conditions for battle cannot be established." β
β......β
Wu didn't know how strong the dragon god was, but he knew how terrifying Yakumo Purple was, and even the dignified monster sage was so simply subservient to it, how strong would that legendary dragon god be?
The reason for establishing Gensokyo, that is Yakumo Murasaki's dream for the past.
And the reason for guarding Gensokyo is Yakumo Murasaki's revenge for the present.
Although he knew that he might be talking nonsense, Wu also spoke-
"Then, Purple, the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei is also ......"
β...... We have sacrificed everything and lost everything to get to this point," Yakumo Zi pointed to his heart and said: "Here, I can't feel anything for a long time, if you want to resent, just resent." β
"It's so unfair, why should they, when they have done nothing wrong, put their lives on the line for your revenge."
"Youkai have been selfish since the beginning, Takeya, haven't you understood this?"
"I'm not going to talk to you about virtues or anything like that, but if it's only Reimu, even if it's just one person, I want to ......!"
"Look at the reality, Takeya, in this cruel and tragic world, even if you hold on to hope and don't let go for a moment, when you wake up at the end, you will find that it is just an absurd dream."
"Our reason is selfishness, so in comparison, Jing's thoughts may be more in line with your values, after all, Reimu is also a special existence for you, and it is because of this that we choose to tell you everything."
Yakumo Zi looked at Takeya quietly, and then slowly stretched out his hand: "We like you, Takeya, so, become friends with us." β
"Purple? What are you talking about, we're not ......"
"No, Wuya, you didn't understand what we meant."
Yakumo Zi shook his head: "Working hard for a luxury that can never be realized, or trying to see the reality clearly so that the tragedy will not happen again, this choice has a more important meaning." β
"I don't understand ......"
"Then let's talk about it in a different way."
Yakumo Purple slowly shook Takeya's hand: "Become a youkai, Takeya." β
