"Do you want to join us in completely exterminating humanity?"
"???"
After hearing what Shuten-doji said, Shizuku had a lot of question marks on her head.
"What? Destroy humanity? Why?"
"Is this even necessary? Humans are weak, stupid, and fragile. They don't deserve to live in this world. Only we monsters are the most suitable masters to rule this world!"
Shuten-doji clenched his right hand and stared at Shizuku.
"You are also a powerful monster, don't you have this feeling? Humans are so weak, but they regard themselves as the rulers of the world and occupy this world! Is this acceptable? No! We should let humans know that it is not us monsters who should tremble and curl up in the shadows, but these fragile and inferior humans! We must let humans know who is the master of this world! Join us! Fight with us to eliminate and enslave those inferior humans!"
Hearing Shuten-douji's words, Shizuku shrugged.
"Well...from the perspective of a monster, what you said makes sense..."
"So……"
"But I refuse."
“Huh?”
Hearing Shizuku's straightforward refusal, Shuten-doji was stunned.
"W-why?"
"Because you're stupid."
Shizuku narrowed her eyes and stared at Shuten-doji helplessly.
"You have all been sealed for hundreds of years, right? Do you know what the world is like now? Humans are fragile and stupid? Then what are you, who were sealed by those 'fragile and stupid' humans? Mentally retarded? Besides, humans were able to seal you hundreds of years ago, so it would be even easier for them to deal with you now, right? You are a fragment that has just been unsealed and awakened, and has not even recovered its original form. What kind of daydreaming are you doing here? What's more..."
“…”
"My favorite thing to do is to say 'NO' to those who are self-righteous!"
“…”
Hearing Shizuku's answer, Shuten-douji's face suddenly turned livid. What he hated most was being pointed out by others about his previous failure. In Shuten-douji's view, as the most powerful monster, he was defeated and sealed by weak and powerless humans, which was a great shame in itself. And now someone dared to open his scars and rub salt into his wounds in front of him, which Shuten-douji could not tolerate.
"...Then I want to see what power a great demon like you has! Miss Yu, I'm counting on you!"
As Shuten-doji spoke, he looked at Tamamonomae beside him. However, what surprised Shuten-doji was that the golden-haired, jade-faced little loli beside him did not pounce on him like before, but stared at Shizuku, her petite body trembling and shaking constantly, as if she had met her natural enemy.
"She doesn't have the guts to fight me."
Looking at Shuten-doji in front of her, Shizuku chuckled and spoke.
Among Fang Zheng's three incarnations, Red Ponytail's incarnation is Zhulong, in charge of the sun and the moon. Ai Li's incarnation is Qinglong, in charge of heaven and earth. And Shizuku's incarnation is Yinglong, the ancestor of all beasts, in charge of the four seasons. In other words, all the monsters in this world, as long as they are birds and beasts that have transformed into spirits, will be the same as the third grandson when they see Shizuku.
Although Tamamonomae is a famous monster in Japanese history, he is a fox spirit after all. When he saw Shizuku, he could naturally feel her innate restraint. Not to mention taking action, it was even a question whether he dared to take action.
This is a very mysterious connection. Just like Setsuna and Kaname no Kirie, as snow girls and vampires, they don't have this feeling, but as a kiryū, Shizuku is quite friendly to Shizuku and even takes the initiative to surrender to him. This is the reason.
Shuten-doji is a monster, but he is an evil ghost, not a bird or beast, so he naturally cannot feel the true power of Shizuku, so he is not clear about what this scene means. Shizuku glanced at the trembling nine-tailed fox little loli, and then cast her eyes on Shuten-doji.
"Don't always let others take action. Since you brag about how strong you are, why don't you do it yourself? Isn't it cowardly to just incite others behind their backs? Come on, I'm right here. I want to see what you are capable of."
"you……!!!"
Hearing Shizuku's words, Shuten-doji's face suddenly changed, and then he flashed and tried to escape. After all, in Shuten-doji's opinion, he had not fully recovered yet, and it was a very stupid move to fight a big demon with an unknown identity in this situation. So Shuten-doji planned to leave here first and hide, but... to his surprise, when he opened his eyes the next moment, he found himself still standing there, motionless.
"You think you can get away?"
Looking at Shuten-douji who was still standing there with a changed expression, Shizuku chuckled... Are you kidding? You must use the dimensional anchor before a fight. You want to run? You have to see if I agree, right?
"It seems that you don't intend to let me leave?"
"Why would I let you leave?"
“In that case…!”
Hearing Shizuku's answer, Shuten-doji gritted his teeth, then he suddenly reached out and grabbed Tamamonomae next to him.
Perhaps because she was frightened by Shizuku's breath, or perhaps because she did not expect that her companion would actually attack her, the golden-haired little Loli was completely unprepared for Shuten Douji's attack and was directly caught by him. Before she could struggle, Shuten Douji covered her mouth, then bit her neck and began to absorb her demonic power.
“Woo… woo…”
The little golden-haired girl tried desperately to resist, but soon, the demonic energy on her body gradually began to decrease. At the same time, Shuten-doji's body began to swell, and then turned into a huge monster with a red body, two horns, and a height of three or four meters. Then he suddenly threw the little golden-haired girl away and threw her aside like garbage.
"Is this how you treat your companions?"
Shizuku watched the scene in front of her silently, then complained, while Shuten-doji, who had absorbed Tamamonomae's demonic power and returned to his original evil spirit form, sneered.
"I originally wanted to wait for the Nine-Tailed Fox to recover and help me remove the seal, but now it seems that the Nine-Tailed Fox is no longer useful."
"Oh... so?"
"Then let me see your strength!"
With a roar, Shuten-doji made a move to pounce, but at this moment...
“BOOM!!”
A golden bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and hit Shuten-douji directly, breaking him into pieces in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Frostmourne appeared silently in the air, and then several chains emerged out of thin air, binding Shuten-douji's soul. Then the unfortunate evil ghost was seen wailing as he was sucked into Frostmourne, and there was no movement anymore.
"Don't expect to come out again this time."
Shizuku yawned, looked at Shuten-douji who was bound in Frostmourne in front of her, and complained silently - he has the nerve to come out and cause trouble at this level, he really thinks too much of himself.
Just like that, the two big monsters that had been plaguing the monster world were completely dealt with. Shuten-douji was struck to death by Shizuku's thunder, and Tamamonomae was not much better off. She was betrayed by Shuten-douji and almost had all her monster power sucked dry. If Shizuku hadn't rescued her, this golden-haired little loli would probably have turned into a golden-haired dead fox.
As for the other monsters, they all said goodbye and left after the two big monsters were destroyed - both Tamamonomae and Shuten-doji were feared by the monsters, and the fact that the girl in front of them could defeat them so easily proved that her strength was unimaginable. So the monsters didn't dare to stay here any longer, and said goodbye and left, lest they be struck by lightning if the other party disliked them, in which case they would be doomed to die.
"By the way, are you sure it's okay to keep this fox? She's a youkai who eats youkai, right?"
Huozhiwuzhi was obviously opposed to keeping a fox at home, not to mention that the lake could not be used for guarding the house.
"I think it's not bad. After all, when we encounter troubles, there will be monsters besides evil spirits. If it's those stubborn monsters, just let Xiaoyu eat them."
Shizuku didn't care. In fact, this was what she had thought. It was true that Frostmourne ate souls, but it was a problem if no one took care of the body. Now, Frostmourne ate souls, and Tamamonomae ate the body. It was a perfect garbage disposal combination. It was because of this that Shizuku saved Tamamonomae.
After all, if Shizuku remembers correctly, there are all kinds of monsters in European and American ghost movies... I just don't know if Tamamonomae eats them.
After all, there is a difference between demons and monsters. Maybe Tamamonomae has no interest in eating?
However, after recaptured Tamamonomae, Shizuku also learned from her about a troublesome and tricky matter.
In ancient Japanese mythology, although Tamamonomae was eventually killed, its body turned into a huge poisonous stone called the "Killing Stone", which emitted poisonous gas and killed all nearby creatures. Finally, after many years, a monk named Xuanweng successfully destroyed the Killing Stone, and the broken pieces of the Killing Stone flew all over Japan and were sealed up.
The little golden-haired girl in front of her is actually one of the fragments of the Killing Stone. According to her, after she was released by Shuten-doji, the seals of the other Killing Stones were also lifted one by one. These fragments of the Killing Stones will be re-fused together using various methods and will once again turn back into the original golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed demon fox.
In other words, there will be all kinds of troubles after this... It is conceivable that there will be killing stones everywhere in Japan. After all, each piece of killing stone is like an incarnation of Tamamonomae, and now these incarnations are fighting each other to see who can finally win and devour the other killing stones to become a real golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox.
Hmm? Why does this setting seem familiar?
Shizuku had no way to deal with this and could only deal with it as it came.
Anyway, it shouldn't be too much trouble.
