"You …"
Horned Ogre was stunned.
Obviously, that was a situation that surprised even him.
Who was he?
Ibaraki Douji, the Demon King who had lived for thousands of years, his power was unfathomable. In terms of the accumulation of spiritual power, he was comparable to Ashiya Michio. Even Miyazaki Douji could only compete with him.
Now, he actually lost in a simple contest of power, and he lost so easily. How could Horned Ogre not be stunned?
On the contrary, Ibaraki Douji was not surprised at all, but more contemptuous.
"You're too weak, do you deserve to be called Ibaraki?"
Ibaraki Douji scolded.
Horned Ogre was angry, and just when he wanted to step forward, Spring Tiger raised his hand and stopped him.
"I'm curious." Spring Tiger looked straight at Rozen, or rather, at the Spirit-branded Retainers around Rozen. His eyes flashed with wisdom and said: "Some of them are already dead, so how could they appear here again?"
Spring Tiger asked such a question.
Rozen raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.
"Is that surprising?" So Rozen shrugged, glanced at Yakamaru and Shidemaru, and said, "Hase Douji over there is also dead, but isn't he still alive now?"
What did he mean? Everyone understood at once.
"Is it because of Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony?"
Hotaru's murmur said the speculation in everyone's mind.
Everyone thought that the reason why great monsters such as Onigami Maru reappeared in the world was because Rozen used Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony.
With the forbidden secret instrument that could manipulate the soul, life and death could be changed freely.
It was just …
"It's fine if it's just an ordinary soul, but even the ancient spirits were resurrected, and there are so many of them, this is really …"
Yakamaru whispered in disbelief, and he also said the shock in everyone's heart.
Although Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony was a secret technique that could manipulate the soul, it could not be used casually.
For example, the success rate was a huge problem.
The success rate of such a powerful forbidden technique was very low to begin with. It would be fine if it were a normal soul, but the spirits of ghosts and demons like Da Yue Maru were ancient and powerful. It would not be easy to revive them.
And this was only in the case of a single one of them, yet Rozen resurrected all of these ancient and powerful existences one after another. One could imagine the difficulty of this feat.
Not to mention, he had to subdue these terrifying and powerful ancient existences and turn them into Spirit-branded Retainers, which was even more difficult.
At least, Spring Tiger admitted that he couldn't do it.
After all, in his previous life, when Spring Hu was still Night Light, even the process of subduing the Horned Ghoul was fraught with difficulties. There were many conditions that gave him an advantage, and the Horned Ghoul only submitted to him because they were on good terms. Otherwise, Spring Hu knew very well that it would be impossible for him to have a Ghost King that had lived for thousands of years as a Shikigami.
Therefore, not only did Spring Tiger admit that he was inferior to Rozen's great achievements, but he also admired him endlessly.
But …
"What's the matter with the Ibaraki Douji beside you?" Spring Tiger stared at the Ibaraki Douji and said, "Fake … I don't think so?"
Even if the appearance was different, the same ancient spirituality and ghostly aura could not be fake at all.
The Ibaraki Douji in front of him was undoubtedly a Ibaraki Douji, otherwise, Shiba would not have gone crazy to such an extent.
But how was this possible?
How could there be two Ibaraki Douji in the world?
This was impossible.
That was what everyone thought.
Unfortunately, Rozen was still calm.
"This is not surprising, is it?" Rozen said with a faint smile, "Aren't the crow feathers and moon on your body made by imitating the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit?"
These words, once again hinted to everyone what was going on with the appearance of the Ibaraki Douji.
Just like Night Light imitated the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit to make the crow feathers and moon, Rozen also imitated the Horned Ghoul and made the Ibaraki Douji.
This was what everyone understood.
"Of course, unlike your pure imitation, the Ibaraki Douji on my side is the real deal."
Rozen said so for the time being.
There was a big difference in this.
For example, although the Crow Feather and Crescent Wheel were replicas of the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, they were ultimately fakes, just like how replicas of antiques were ultimately fakes. The Crow Feather and Crescent Wheel were only high-quality replicas. They weren't gods, nor did they have any divine aura. They only had similar appearances and spirituality to the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit.
The crow feathers and moon were just normal spiritual existences, unlike the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, which were high-level spiritual existences that did not even have divinity.
On the other hand, the Ibaraki Douji not only had the same ghostly aura and spirituality as the Horned Ghoul, but even surpassed the Horned Ghoul in strength.
This was definitely not something that could be explained by imitations.
That's what Rozen said.
"If you have a part of the original, and then cultivate this part to generate a new consciousness and will, let it grow to the point where it is comparable to the original, or even beyond the original, it should be feasible, right?"
His nonchalant words caused everyone present to tremble.
Rozen's meaning was obvious, that was to tell everyone that the Ibaraki Douji came from that way.
Even though it sounded unbelievable, in theory, it was not impossible. However, it required a rather profound, powerful, and terrifying incantation technique to achieve all of this.
And Rozen, as a Onmyoji who succeeded in summoning god, he should have no lack of skills, right?
Not to mention, a part of the Horned Ghoul was missing.
It was the arm that was cut off by Biseru.
Rozen was telling everyone that he cultivated another Ibaraki Douji in this way.
Even if many people didn't want to believe it, especially the Horned Ghoul, their mood was even more complicated, but that could explain why Rozen could use all of the Hyuga Ghoul.
"In addition to Ibaraki Douji, there are many among the ghosts that have disappeared without a trace and will never appear again. To find all of them and make them into Shikigami is as difficult as ascending to heaven. But if it's just a part of them, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult."
Spring Tiger smiled bitterly.
"You personally cultivated, created, and resurrected Hyuga Ghoul, and put the real Hyuga Ghoul into your hands. Such a thing, not to mention me, even Abe no Seimei couldn't do it, but you did it. You're worthy to be the one who succeeded in summoning god and made a god into Shikigami."
Spring Tiger finally accepted all of this.
Little did he know that all of this was deliberately led by Rozen.
Of course, that was not the case.
The Hyuga Ghoul that Rozen used was the real Hyuga Ghoul, not another existence that was resurrected or cultivated.
Rozen had long discovered that the knowledge of summoning in his mind included all worlds.
He had the knowledge of summoning in all worlds.
And whichever world's summoning technique was used, the corresponding existence in that world would be summoned.
For example, Rozen used Spirit Summoning, which was used to save the primate world, to summon the spirit on the Throne of Valor.
Another example, Rozen used Spirit Summoning as a guide, combined with the curse technique in that world to hold a summoning ceremony, which summoned the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit of that world.
As for Shikigami Summoning, that was a summoning technique from another world.
In other words, the Hyuga Ghoul that Rozen summoned was from another world, but it was also the real Hyuga Ghoul.
In view of this, based on the different world origin, Rozen's Ibaraki Douji was stronger than Spring Tiger's Ibaraki Douji.
Among the Hyuga Ghoul that Rozen summoned, the weakest was only at the intermediate level, and there were even low-level ones, all of which were a group of ordinary undead, evil spirits, and high-level ones like Yama.
Then, as the existence that stood at the peak of Hyuga Ghoul, such as Onimaru, Shutendoji, and Tamamo Mae, the three great monsters were at the peak of strategic level, comparable to the fifth singularity, Mad King Kuru Chulin, or even higher.
Even the existence of Kimiko, Suzuhiko, Daitengu, and other existences had the strength of strategic level, and they were only a short distance away from the peak of strategic level.
Ibaraki Douji was also at the strategic level, and it was naturally much stronger than the Horned Ghoul, who was at the tactical level.
That was the truth.
However, in any case, one thing was certain.
Rozen did realize the real Hyuga Ghoul's Night and summoned all Hyuga Ghoul as his own.
