"That's right," Kyuubi answered confidently. Then, as if she was not shocked enough, she continued, "I can even tell you that the reason why the continents on Earth split into their current state is also because of that period."
"…" Sei Itō was completely speechless.
"Is it hard to believe?" Kyuubi glanced at Sei Itō and sneered.
"A little, but when you think about the power of the legendary Great God, it doesn't seem impossible," Sei Itō sighed and nodded.
"Then, what's the specific situation?" Sei Itō asked again.
"I don't know," Kyuubi answered straightforwardly.
"You don't know?" Sei Itō looked at Kyuubi with a stunned expression. He could not help it. Earlier, Kyuubi had been talking about things with an attitude as if she knew everything, but now, she suddenly changed the topic and said that she did not know. Anyone would be speechless if this happened to them.
However, Kyuubi had no intention of answering at this time.
"Alright, then can you tell me your plan?" Sei Itō sighed helplessly and asked.
"There's nothing to plan for this kind of thing. Just do what you did in the past," Kyuubi said casually, as if she did not care at all.
Sei Itō looked at Kyuubi and nodded. He did not say anything and quietly drank his tea.
For a moment, the pavilion became quiet again.
"I won't disturb you admiring the flowers here. I'll take my leave." After a while, Sei Itō put down his teacup and stood up. He looked at Kyuubi and said softly, "But if you discover anything, please let me know. I'd appreciate it. "
After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared from the pavilion.
Kyuubi did not seem to hear Sei Itō's words. She maintained her previous action and quietly drank the tea in her cup.
"Ghost Girl, call Hutaro over." After a while, Kyuubi put down the teacup in her hand and ordered the white-clothed woman standing beside her, Ghost Girl, without turning her head.
"Yes, Lady Nine Tails." The ghost girl bowed slightly and then disappeared from the pavilion as if she was in an illusion. Then, after about a minute. The ghost woman's figure appeared in the pavilion again.
Then more than a minute passed. Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, a man who stood upright like a human but had the head of a fox and wore a cream-colored hunting robe appeared. A fox demon wearing a black top hat walked into the garden.
The Fox Priest quickly walked to the pavilion and stopped. He clasped his hands in front of him. He bowed his head and said, "Greetings, Lord Nine Tails."
"Houtarou, do you have any news about the new disease that has appeared in the human world?" Kyuubi didn't even look at the Fox Divine Official named Hutaro and asked in an indifferent tone.
"In response to Lord Nine Tails. There are a few. However, this lowly one believes that it has nothing to do with our Monster Race. Therefore, I did not pay too much attention to it. "Hutaro reported.
"From now on, pay attention," Nine-Tails ordered.
"Yes," Hutaro replied.
"Have there been any strange occurrences among the demonic beasts recently?" Nine-Tails asked again.
Hutaro tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, "Nothing major. However, there have been some minor occurrences."
"Oh?" Nine-Tails turned her head slightly, and her scarlet eyes fell upon Hutaro's fox face. Then, she let out a soft groan.
"According to the reports of the lesser demons, for some unknown reason, many lesser demons' bodies have suddenly mutated recently. They have become much stronger than before. Furthermore, they have become extremely aggressive and will frequently fight with their fellow demons. For this reason, this lowly one has specially summoned several lesser demons that have mutated to investigate. They have discovered that this is indeed the case. Even when facing this lowly one, they will frequently be unable to suppress their desire to attack. They will want to attack this lowly one, "Hutaro reported.
"Is there anything else?" Nine-Tails frowned slightly and continued to ask.
"Apart from this, there is nothing else for now."
"Go. Bring two lesser demons that have mutated here," Nine-Tails ordered.
"Yes."
Hutaro replied and immediately turned around and left the garden. Five to six minutes later, Nine-Tails returned to the garden with two lesser demons that were emitting a slightly tyrannical aura. They stopped outside the pavilion.
The two lesser demons hurriedly knelt on the ground and lowered their heads deeply. Their voices trembled as they greeted Nine-Tails, "Greetings, Lord Nine-Tails."
Nine-Tails did not say anything. Instead, she waved her hand. The lesser demon that was barely able to maintain its human form, but its skin was bluish-green. It only had a single large eye and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its limbs and body were soft, and it looked like a noodle monster. It immediately flew up from the ground. Under the guidance of an invisible power, it flew before Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails turned her head. Her scarlet eyes shone with a mysterious red light as she looked at the lesser demon before her.
Almost instantly, the lesser demon within Nine-Tails' line of sight became transparent. A large amount of substances that resembled blood vessels and meridians appeared before Nine-Tails' eyes. Everything within the lesser demon's body was exposed.
Soon, a black substance that covered the lesser demon's body attracted Nine-Tails' attention.
Nine-Tails made a grasping motion with her bare hand, triggering the black substance within the lesser demon's body.
"Ah!" As soon as the black substance trembled, the lesser demon that was caught by Nine-Tails' power immediately let out a blood-curdling scream.
Who was Nine-Tails? In myths and legends, she had caused chaos in a country and killed countless people. After she exiled herself to Japan, she almost destroyed Tokyo during the Edo period. How could she care about the lesser demon's life? A cold light flashed in her eyes as she used an even stronger power to extract the black substance.
"Ah ah ah ah …"
A cacophony of ear-piercing screams echoed incessantly. This went on for a few minutes.
Then, with a soft "poof", a mass of wriggling black substance that looked like a living creature was extracted from the small demon that was caught in mid-air. It was shackled by an invisible force and floated in front of Nine Tails.
However, before Nine-Tails could study it carefully, the lesser demon that had its black substance extracted once again attracted her attention.
In the short span of ten seconds, the body of the small demon that was considered healthy suddenly withered and weakened. It was as if all the life essence in its body had disappeared along with the black substance. It was on the verge of death, as if it was about to die.
"What a vicious thing." Nine-Tails turned her head and coldly looked at the squirming black substance before her.
"Fox Taro."
"This lowly one is here." Although he did not sense any signs of Nine-Tails exploding, Fox Taro knew that his boss was in a bad mood. He hurriedly lowered his head and responded in an even more respectful manner.
"Separate all the lesser demons that have mutated into separate groups. Order people to monitor them twenty-four hours a day. If they do anything that threatens the entire tribe, kill them immediately." Nine-Tails coldly ordered.
"Yes."
"Also, check every tribe at all times. Find all the mutated demons!"
"This lowly one understands."
Then, without waiting for Nine-Tails' orders, Fox Taro immediately turned around and left the garden. As for those two lesser demons, who cared if they died? Didn't he see that Lord Nine-Tails was now interested in that black substance? She might even use those two unlucky fellows as test subjects.
Needless to say, he actually guessed Nine-Tails' intentions.
At this moment, Nine-Tails, who was in the pavilion, used her right index and middle fingers as a sword. She sliced open the squirming black substance in front of her with one hand and directly cut out a black mass that was one-fourth the size of the entire substance. She then threw it back at the lesser demon that was on the verge of death.
When the black substance came into contact with the lesser demon's body, it paused for a moment. Then, it squirmed around the lesser demon's body as if it was disgusted. Then, it turned around and rushed toward another lesser demon.
The next moment, the black substance completely sank into the other lesser demon's body.
"Ah!" The small demon that had been invaded by the black substance let out an excited roar. At the same time, an even clearer manic aura emanated from its body. It raised its head and looked at the Nine-tailed Hydra with its slightly red eyes.
But then, as if he was frightened, he lowered his head again. Clearly, the fear of Nine-Tails had been deeply engraved in every cell of this demon. Even if there was an external force to catalyze it, it could not resist.
"Ghost Girl, go. Kill him." Nine-Tails calmly ordered.
"Yes, Master Nine-Tails." Ghost Girl responded. Then, she went around the stone table and walked to the edge of the pavilion. Her body began to emit an intense cold aura.
Under the influence of this aura, layers of frost began to appear on the ground around her.
"Roar!" Sensing the threat of death, the lesser demon roared loudly. Suddenly, it opened its head that was wrapped in an ancient oilskin paper umbrella and shot out black needles at high speed. Ghost Girl's figure dispersed and turned into a large cloud of faint black smoke. Then, it stretched out like a tentacle and tightly wrapped around the Paper Umbrella Demon's head. Then, her upper body reappeared and stabbed the Paper Umbrella Demon's neck with a short knife that had appeared in her hand out of nowhere.
"Pfft!" A black demon aura mixed with blood gushed out of the Paper Umbrella Demon's neck. However, it was immediately frozen into small pieces by the cold aura and fell to the ground.
Ghost Girl's figure dispersed again and broke away from the Paper Umbrella Demon's body. She reassembled her complete body in the pavilion.
As the demon aura and blood flowed out, the Paper Umbrella Demon's body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, it became the same situation as the lesser demon before. Then, it continued to deteriorate. Its body turned into a dry substance and shattered.
"Hmph." However, at this moment, accompanied by Nine-Tails' cold snort, a flame suddenly burned in the pavilion's vicinity.
Then, Nine-Tails reached out and grabbed Ghost Girl, who had just finished killing her, in front of her. She looked at her with her glowing red eyes. Under her gaze, an extremely faint black substance appeared near the Ghost Lady's palm.
"Ghost Girl, activate your demon aura." Nine-Tails ordered.
"Yes."
Under the activation of the demon aura, the black substance began to proliferate at an extremely slow speed.
