No one knew Suzuka better than Yakamaru.
It was not because Yakamaru was Suzuka's father, but because Suzuka's strength, potential, and curse power were all given by Yakamaru.
The world knew that Suzuka was a genius known as a child prodigy. Before she was old enough to enter Yin Yang School, she had already become one of the twelve Divine Generals and obtained the qualification to become a first-class Onmyoji. However, the world didn't know that Suzuka's achievement was entirely due to what Yakamaru did to Suzuka during his lifetime.
During his lifetime, Yakamaru used Suzuka as an experimental subject of forbidden arts, and he used many kinds of forbidden arts on her, which led to Suzuka's curse power being much higher than that of ordinary Onmyoji. Her talent was not something she was born with, but something she was given later on.
Therefore, as the initiator of all this, Yakamaru could assert that Suzuka could not stand in front of him and resist his power.
Because Yakamaru did not give Suzuka such potential. Even if the world thought that Suzuka was a child prodigy, Yakamaru also knew that this talent was actually quite illusory. Being able to bring such achievements to Suzuka was already the best she could do.
Unless Yakamaru continued to use new forbidden arts on Suzuka and continue to transform her physique, Suzuka could not achieve greater growth.
Otherwise, once she was separated from Yakamaru, Suzuka could no longer continue to grow. Being ranked at the bottom of the twelve Divine Generals was Suzuka's limit.
Who would have thought that by sealing Shutendoji's ghost in her body, Suzuka gained new power and stood in front of Yakamaru.
"I know your situation, but I didn't think of this possibility. There should be a limit to my carelessness."
Yakamaru said that with both self-mockery and annoyance.
"What do you mean by that?"
Suzuka suddenly glared at him.
There was no other way.
Yakamaru's tone was as if he knew why Suzuka had such a change, but he didn't think of it before, as if he had everything about Suzuka in his hands.
But it was useless to be angry.
At least, Yakamaru's behavior was not fake, but he did know all about Suzuka's changes.
"Do you think that I used those forbidden techniques on you just to test the effects of the forbidden techniques?" Yakamaru sneered. "If that's the case, I have plenty of ways to test the effects of the tactic. There's no need for me to experiment on my own daughter's body."
That was true.
If he really wanted to test out the effects of some tactics, Yakamaru could just randomly find some wild beasts or death row criminals. Back then, the Spirit Mastery Division he belonged to was a subordinate of the Imperial Household Agency. As long as Yakamaru made a request, there would be people there to help him prepare a target. There was no need for him to waste any effort on his own daughter.
The main reason why Yaksha Maru had modified Suzuka was because he wanted Suzuka itself to become a result.
What results?
Of course, it was the result of the God Bestowal.
"As a direct descendant of the Xiangma family, the Princess possesses the strongest aptitude in the history of the Xiangma family. From a young age, she was able to harmonize with God, communicate with God, and even have God rely on her. As a descendant of the Xiangma family, I was mesmerized by her with just a glance from afar."
Yakamaru spread his arms, a poisonous and dangerous smile appearing on his face.
"When I saw such a thing, I wanted to obtain it no matter what. After all, I'm also a member of the Xiangma family. Even if I split from the family, my ultimate goal is still God's Descent. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could promote and prepare for it myself?"
Hearing this, not only Suzuka, but even Natsume felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, the two girls had the same thought.
"It can't be …!?"
Natsume's eyes widened.
Suzuka bit her lips tightly.
"Don't tell me that the real reason you used so many forbidden techniques on me and modified me was to turn me into a second Xiangma Douzi …!?"
Suzuka felt both fear and anger.
But this was the true reason.
"It's precisely because you've been modified for this purpose that even a powerful demon like Shutendoji can easily attach itself to you. In fact, in just a short year and a half, it was nourished by your spiritual energy and recovered to its peak strength. Otherwise, do you really think that you'll be safe after absorbing such an ancient spirit into your body?"
Yakamaru said sarcastically.
"It's precisely because you were modified for God's Descent, and your goal was to become a body for the gods to attach themselves to. That's why you were able to accommodate such an ancient demon, and your spiritual energy was able to be so compatible with the foreign spirit, nourishing it and allowing it to quickly recover its strength. Your potential was also stimulated and increased once again."
If it wasn't for this, Suzuka's strength might not have improved at all in the past year and a half.
"At first, I thought you were a failure. After your brother died, I realized that no matter what, the two of you could never become a second princess. But I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to be used for God's Descent, but you're just right for Ghost's Descent."
As he said this, Yakamaru commented without restraint.
"If it's possible, I'd really like to analyze your current body."
Yakamaru scanned Suzuka's body as if he was looking at an object.
“.....！”
Suzuka's body stiffened, and she couldn't move.
This was because Yakamaru's gaze was all too familiar to Suzuka.
In the past, Suzuka had been scrutinized by Yakamaru like this countless times. It was like a surgeon raising a scalpel expressionlessly and thinking about where to start. This caused Suzuka's deep-rooted fear to be reignited once again.
That was a psychological shadow that she had since she was young, and even now, Suzuka couldn't get rid of it.
Seeing this, the cold smile on Yakamaru's face became even more pronounced.
There was no one who understood Suzuka better than Yakanaru.
Thus, Yakamaru knew very well that Suzuka couldn't possibly resist him.
At this critical moment, Yakamaru still stopped here and said so many words. It wasn't that he wasn't anxious, but that he understood Suzuka the best and understood her fear of him. In order not to fight a pointless battle and be delayed for a long time, he used his words and gaze to trigger the deepest fear and psychological shadow in Suzuka's heart so that she couldn't resist him.
In other words, the moment he opened his mouth, Yakamaru had already cast a spell.
It was just that it wasn't an A-level spell, but a B-level spell.
But at this moment …
"Shut up!"
Amidst this delicate shout, the fox fire rushed towards him.
It was a ferocious fox fire. Like a galloping avalanche, it crushed the ground and blasted toward Yakamaru.
It wasn't Yakamaru who reacted to this, but Spider Maru.
Spider Maru jumped in front of Yakamaru and clapped his hands. The power of the spell surged and set off an invisible shockwave that blew away the fox fire.
"Be careful, Minister."
Spider Maru looked warily at Suzuka's side.
"Natsume?"
Suzuka's neck stiffened as she looked to her side.
There, Natsume's face was full of anger.
"Evil tricks! Don't you dare hurt my companion with that kind of gaze and tone! "
Natsume's angry words woke Suzuka up instantly.
Unknowingly, the fear in Suzuka's heart weakened.
