"Ahhhhh!!!!"
A mournful wail resounded throughout the sky above Nijo Castle.
The Feathered Fox began to give birth.
At the top of the building, Eight-cloud Ink frowned as he looked in the direction of Nijo Castle while holding a cup of freshly brewed black tea.
"This is really … This shouldn't be a real birth, right?"
Katsumi, or Abe Seimei's resurrection, didn't return to the Feathered Fox's stomach and be reborn.
Instead, the Feathered Fox's body was used as a transit station for Abe Seimei's soul to enter the Katsumi Pool where the Feathered Fox was now. Then, the soul absorbed the darkness in the Katsumi Pool and reformed a new body.
"But even so, it can't stop the pain of birth?"
After Eight-cloud Ink explained how the Feathered Fox gave birth, Lan Rushi asked.
"Listen to the Feathered Fox's wail just now and you'll know."
Eight-cloud Ink shook his head.
"Obviously, the pain is more intense than normal birth. It's truly unforgettable."
He sighed. He still vaguely remembered some things about the Feathered Fox.
At first, she fell in love with a human as a monster, just like Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina.
Later, she gave birth to Abe Seimei, the future Grand Onmyoji.
The lifespan of a human was too short compared to that of a monster. Soon, that human died, leaving only the Feathered Fox and her half-monster child, Abe Seimei.
Abe Seimei was a very ambitious person. He hoped to forever control the city full of light and darkness — Kyoto. He wanted to build a beautiful world where humans and monsters could coexist.
For this, he needed to live as long as a monster.
As a Grand Onmyoji, his talent did allow him to find such a way. Through his mother, the Feathered Fox, he kept getting her to give birth to him again.
If everything was like this, perhaps all the things that happened later wouldn't have happened.
However, a certain daimyo believed in the rumor that eating the Feathered Fox's raw liver could make one immortal, so he sent someone to kill the Feathered Fox, who had no fighting ability at that time.
Seeing his mother die in front of him, Abe Seimei angrily killed the daimyo.
At the same time, he completely fell into the dark abyss.
From then on, he began to believe that it was impossible for darkness and light to coexist.
Humans who represented light were foolish.
In order to build a beautiful world, the darkness needed to be above the light and establish an order that belonged to the darkness — the order of the monsters.
From then on, he became the Master of Monsters — — Hou.
As a reincarnated monster, the Feathered Fox tried again and again to give birth to her child.
○
"So, both sides have their own reasons."
Eight-cloud Ink sighed.
"The feathered fox is doing this for her child. As for Lu Sheng, he has his own reasons for stopping the feathered fox."
Blue Tenderly filled Eight-cloud Ink's empty teacup, then shook its tail and laughed, "But Young Master Mo promised that Chuan Bingli, so we have a reason to do this. But this will harm that great mother and that poor child."
"A mother is indeed a great mother, but her child is not necessarily a pitiful child."
"Huh?"
Lan tilted her head in confusion.
Eight-cloud Ink curled its lips and smiled mysteriously.
"You'll know when you see."
○
"Get out of the way!"
Holding Omikehimaru, the monster Lu Sheng stood in front of Devil Child Maru who fell on the ground.
"Cough, cough cough …"
Devil Child Maru struggled to stand up, but fell down again because of his injuries.
"It's too long …"
"Hmm?" Lu Sheng and the ghosts behind him all looked over, "What did you say?"
"Too much time has passed …"
"Compared to the thousand years we've waited for, the time that's stopping you now — —"
Once again, Devil Boy Maru struggled to stand up. The wounds on his body caused by Nu Liang Lu Sheng began to bleed.
"— — It's nothing at all!!!!"
"As long as I can hold on to this' moment ', it doesn't matter even if I die!!"
Lu Sheng frowned, "Won't you get out of the way? If so — — "
He raised his hands and raised the blade of Omikehimaru.
However, at this moment, the entire Nijo Castle suddenly shook violently.
Then, something began to rise from the bottom.
After breaking through every layer, the huge, black ball-like thing flew into the sky.
All the monsters, whether they were from Kyoto, Nuliang Gumi, Yuano, or the Onmyojis, all looked at the huge black ball in the sky with joy or horror.
An ominous aura filled the entire Nijo Castle.
"What, what is that —?"
"It's so big!"
"Finally … … Is it finally born? Our Lord! "
"Lord Kui!"
○
"Young Master Mo, is that Kui?"
Azura put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the ball floating in the sky that was completely formed by the black pool water.
"Yes, that's Kui in the process of formation."
"In the process of … … formation? It hasn't been completely born yet? "
Eight Cloud Ink nodded and let out a soft "oh" before looking over.
Above the black ball, the feathered fox was standing there beautifully.
Her beautiful naked body was fully displayed in front of Eight-cloud Ink.
"Kui —!!"
Azura's voice suddenly came from beside him. Eight-cloud Ink turned around and saw Azura's blushing face.
"What's wrong?"
"You actually appeared naked in front of so many people! You're so shameless! "
"Ha?"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly laughed out loud.
"Azura, you seem to have the habit of running naked, right?"
Azura's face immediately turned red. After stuttering for a long time, he lowered his head and muttered, "I'm under too much pressure. And, and we're all at home, there are no outsiders … …"
"Oh? You mean … … It doesn't matter if I see you naked? "
Azura's breathing suddenly became a bit heavy. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. He turned around angrily and slapped Eight-cloud Ink with his tail.
Just as Eight-cloud Ink and Azura were talking, the feathered fox opened her eyes.
"I — —!!!"
Suddenly, her clear voice resounded through the entire Nijo Castle.
All the monsters in Kyoto knelt down and bowed their heads deeply in the direction of the feathered fox, or rather, Kui.
"— — I've been waiting for this moment for a thousand years!"
"The new master of monsters and monsters, known as Kui, who reigns above monsters and humans, will be born in this world!!"
"It's rare for all of you to gather here on such an auspicious day!"
"In addition to Kyoto, there are also monsters from Edo and Yuano who came to bless me! Thank you for your hard work!! "
After the feathered fox finished speaking, all the monsters in Kyoto cheered.
The monsters in Yuano, Nuliang, and Yuano, as well as the Onmyoji, all had solemn expressions.
Nuliang and Lu Sheng tightly held the Omikegaman in their hands. They lowered their heads and sighed with gritted teeth.
"Still … … one step too late?"
