"Ieyasu obeys!!!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Tokugawa Ieyasu looked up excitedly, as if he were hearing his own father's words.
Of course, he dared not move his knees even an inch.
God said that we don't need to kneel, but He didn't say that we are not allowed to kneel.
In that case, kneeling would definitely be more reassuring.
Is it to show respect?
Seeing that Jia Kang still refused to get up, Gawain stopped talking and gently swayed his body.
Finding the right angle is really difficult for the dragon; Gawain always felt that the posture was a bit cramped and uncomfortable.
He then exhaled and said.
"It seems that you will not be at ease if I communicate with you in this manner."
"Alright, let's have a proper chat in normal human form."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain tucked himself away and instantly returned to his original form.
However, this time, Gawain did not control his height; he still maintains a height of about 3.2 meters.
For him now, being over three meters tall is the easiest thing to do.
A little bigger, and it takes a little more energy.
The same applies to even smaller sizes.
Kaido is used to being over eight meters tall, but Gawain isn't, and their Seimei Kikan levels are also different.
Gawain's teachings are the authentic Seimei Kikan, a doctrine founded by Garp, one of the orthodox founders of the religion.
Kaido was something he figured out on his own; he wasn't even very proficient in the Rokushiki.
In short, the three-meter-tall Gawain looked left and right, and gently raised his right hand.
As he moved, the Flame Clouds in the sky suddenly fell, gathering around Gawain to form a seat, allowing Gawain to sit down.
As they gazed at the cloud surrounding Gawain, Ieyasu and the others focused their attention once more.
How incredibly fortunate we were to witness a real dragon, and even witness the supernatural power of using clouds as chairs!!!
For a moment, Ieyasu even had the thought that it wouldn't matter if he died right now.
With the dragon's blessing, their family was destined to become the rulers of the world.
Will my soul, having died before the dragon, have the chance to reach Takamagahara?
Of course, Ieyasu was only acting on impulse.
In less than an instant, his ambition made him control his daydreams.
Even after regaining his composure, Ieyasu still dared not speak recklessly.
They were afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Fortunately Gawain had no intention of waiting for Ieyasu to speak.
After sitting down, he gently rubbed the Flame Clouds beside him and said with a smile.
"You flatter me, I accidentally destroyed half of Okazaki Castle."
"Ieyasu, after today's matter is settled, do not forget to repair the castle as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!!!"
Ieyasu nodded hastily.
"Not only should we repair the city walls, but we also want to move the capital!"
With your presence, Okazaki Castle becomes the most prestigious and sacred city in all of Japan!
Not only me, but even the Emperor will have to move here in the future!
Meanwhile, Lord Dragon God.
Having inherited the glory of your former residence, Okazaki Castle should not retain its original ordinary name. We humbly request that the gods bestow upon Okazaki Castle a new name!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Gawain was slightly taken aback. He had named Okagi himself?
But there really aren't any suitable names I can use!
If I don't take it, it'll be a bit of a regret. I've come all this way, so I should leave something for the Japan.
So...
"WC!"
Gawain blurted out his name.
"Since you sincerely wish for it, I will grant you a small favor."
From now on, let's call Okazaki Castle WC.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain worried that these guys wouldn't understand the meaning of English words. After all, it was still more than a thousand years before the modern era, and English at this time wouldn't even be exactly what it would be like in the future.
So Gawain simply grabbed a small Flame Clouds and casually tossed it in front of Ieyasu.
As the Flame Clouds flew, Flame Clouds gradually transformed into the shapes of the letters W and C.
Pfft
The Flame Clouds landed lightly on the ground, yet it felt like a heavy hammer, striking Ieyasu's heart.
Don't overthink it; Ieyasu doesn't understand the true meaning of those two letters.
He seemed to have had his brain hammered, excitedly picking up the Flame Clouds and shouting.
"This... this... this isn't human writing!"
This must be a script used only in Takamagahara!
Okazaki Castle actually had the honor of being named after the sacred script of Takamagahara; this is truly... truly an unparalleled honor for a villain and all of Japan!
Can't beat you... Ouch!!!
This is Daimyo, the future capital of Japan!!!
After shouting excitedly, Ieyasu held Flame Clouds in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Beside him, whether it was Ii Naomasa, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, or even the unseen head of the Ubuyashiki Family, they all wore expressions of pride.
As for Gawain...
After rubbing his nose with amusement, Gawain waved his hand with a smile.
"Alright, alright, enough with the flattery, let's get down to business."
The city is in a bit of chaos right now; people seem terrified.
"Come on, let's find a quiet place. I have something to tell you."
"Those are just foolish lowly people who don't understand the nobility of the gods!"
Ieyasu immediately spoke with righteous indignation.
"Please rest assured, sir, I will teach them how to serve the gods!"
"Alright."
Gawain didn't say much, but waved his hand slightly, instructing Flame Clouds to pack up Ieyasu, Ii Naomasa, and the head of the Yoriichi Tsugikuni Ubuyashiki Family.
Kaido's Flame Clouds can easily lift up an entire Onigashima, let alone a few people.
And so, riding on Flame Clouds, they drifted away amidst the admiring gazes of everyone in Okazaki Castle, including members of the Demon Slayer Corps and the Red Armor Corps.
Not long after, on Mount Fuji.
Gawain released Ieyasu and the others.
While finding a good spot to enjoy the view, Gawain Teuchi the window, along with some fine wine he had robbed from some unknown city during the flight.
Take a sip of wine, then a couple of bites of meat.
Gawain smiled and said to the four nervous people.
"You should know that Yoriichi Tsugikuni is now my subordinate."
After speaking, Gawain smiled and looked at the head of the Ubuyashiki Family.
Unable to sense Gawain's gaze, the head of Tokugawa Ieyasu Ubuyashiki Family Ubuyashiki Family spoke on his behalf.
"Even though I don't know much about things related to demons, I have heard of Yoriichi Tsugikuni Saint!"
Such a supreme and extraordinary man as Tsugikuni is a rare find, even Susanoo would praise him as a warrior.
I am extremely envious that Yoriichi Tsugikuni has earned your appreciation.
Although I don't Yoriichi Tsugikuni the superb swordsmanship of Yoriichi, I can still venture a guess.
Since you, Shenron Dragon, brought up Yoriichi Tsugikuni's matter first, then the orders you are giving to us are related to the terrifying existence of demons.
Please forgive my audacity in making this guess!
As soon as he finished speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu respectfully prostrated himself on the ground, Ii Naomasa and the others naturally followed suit.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, on the other hand, felt awkward kneeling because Gawain had already emphasized that he was one of his people. Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he awkwardly adopted the air of a divine messenger.
Looking at the person lying on the ground, Gawain nodded slightly.
"Ha, what's there to be bold about? Since heaven and earth have endowed you with life and thought, then thinking and speculating are only natural."
Wow!
Hearing Gawain's words, Ieyasu felt a slight tremor in his heart.
As expected of a deity, he casually connected the universe to the heavens and earth with just a few words.
As Jia Kang pondered, Gawain continued speaking.
"You're right, I dislike the existence of ghosts, so I hope they will completely disappear from the world."
It's really strange, huh, how could something like that suddenly appear in the world?
If you didn't know better, you'd think I created that thing. After all, only gods need demons and ghosts to highlight their nobility.
Only demons and ghosts can make mortals more devoted to gods.
But, haha, I don't need any so-called mortal faith. I'm disgusted by those things, so they must disappear!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain applied a slight pressure with his eyes.
Ii Naomasa and the head of the Ubuyashiki Family immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The head of the Ubuyashiki Family immediately banged his head on the ground.
"The blood of evil flows in the veins of the little man, and the progenitor of the demon is one of the ancestors of the little man."
"You scoundrel... you scoundrel..."
"Hehe."
Gawain interrupted the head of the Ubuyashiki Family with a light laugh.
Little did Gawain know that he was also somewhat surprised at this moment.
He had never actually watched Demon Slayer; relying solely on hearsay, he knew virtually nothing about the Demon Slayer universe beyond a few characters and exciting scenes that frequently appeared on TikTok.
So, Muzan Kibutsuji and the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps actually have this kind of relationship?
Of course, Gawain's chuckle was just to cover up his surprise.
Since he pretends to be a god, then a god should have the demeanor of a god.
Even if gods are not omnipotent, they should at least not be ignorant.
However, when Ii Naomasa heard the chuckle he used to mask his surprise.
Ii Naomasa was inevitably a little apprehensive!
With his head pressed firmly to the ground, Ii Naomasa struggled to figure out what to do next!
Why did he need to ponder this?
Because he used to worship God!
Gawain's two joking remarks, about how the existence of ghosts could make mortals more devoted to gods, really hit Ii Naomasa hard in the heart.
Ii Naomasa thought hard for a moment, and it seemed that the shrine was indeed one of the beings that had gradually transformed from a minor branch into a true god over the past two hundred years.
Especially when the belief in Shintoism completely overshadowed that of Amaterasu and other deities in the hearts of the powerful and samurai families...
It seems to be several decades after Muzan Kibutsuji appeared!
For the samurai families and various generals, any family that believed in the ancestral god and paid money in exchange for the god's amulet and ancestral tablet was considered a sacred object.
Those families are really rarely attacked by demons or ghosts...
So!!!
In just a moment, Ii Naomasa, one of Japan's most outstanding political talents, began to hatch a whole host of scheming ideas.
But what does conspiracy matter? In Ii Naomasa's eyes, Gawain is a god, and so is the shrine priest.
Gawain was not someone Ii Naomasa could offend, then could Ii Naomasa truly offend the Shinto priests?
In particular, when faced with the Gawain god Gawain, who was clearly trying to sow discord between the gods.
Ii Naomasa couldn't help but wonder if, if he continued to go along with Gawain, would he, someone who should have already come into the divine purview, be punished by the divine master instead?
Gawain can descend to the mortal realm to travel, so why can't the God Lord?
After a moment, Ii Naomasa raised his sweat-drenched head and tried to speak to Gawain.
"Your Excellency, in recent years... the Divine Lord... the Divine Lord has indeed protected many families..."
Perhaps the Lord God isn't... isn't really related to the appearance of ghosts..."
"God Master... what God Master?"
Gawain couldn't hold back this time.
Does this world really have a god, and Takamagahara?!
Holy crap, isn't this the low-level world I've come to believe in and secretly defined for myself?
Gawain was a little flustered, but not panicked.
He was just thinking, what if those weird Japan gods really existed in this world?
So, is this guy, who's impersonating a god while posing as a dragon, going to have to fight this hairy god here?
The problem is I haven't read the manga, so I don't know what kind of fighting power the gods here have!
Even considering the strength of those demons, and Yoriichi's Yoriichi Tsugikuni power, I still feel that this world isn't very strong.
But what if the local gods possess some kind of strange, rule-based ability?
I really don't want to mess things up here and cause Teacher Kaido to have to rest for months or even half a year...
That's why, even when he said something about a god, there was a slight change in his tone.
This change was overheard by Ii Naomasa...
Broken!!!
Ii Naomasa was shocked.
Their own deity... seems to have no standing in front of Shenron like Gawain!!!
Didn't you see that even the Shenron God was making sarcastic remarks?
A deity... what deity?
What does this sentence mean?
This is blatant contempt and disregard!!!
That makes sense, although we still don't know what kind of status Gawain, this divine Shenron, has in Takamagahara, or who Gawain is, this god who likes to play games with the mortal world.
But just the Gawain, who destroyed half the city upon his arrival and whose body stretched for several kilometers...
This body must be at least at the level of the Yamata no Orochi, right?
In addition, Gawain was tall, over three meters, and loved swordsmanship. He also greatly admired Yoriichi Tsugikuni, whose swordsmanship was exceptional.
Could it be that there are other stories in the myth of Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi no Orochi that mortals are unaware of?
Because of Gawain's love of wine, his love of life, his skill in swordsmanship, and his style as a brave swordsman.
Susanoo!
This is one of the top gods in Takamagahara!
But how could Susanoo be a dragon?
Besides, there aren't any dragons in Takamagahara, are there?
For a moment, Ii Naomasa a cold sweat.
I really shouldn't have spoken up for the God!
The God-King, being a minor deity who has only risen to power less than two hundred years ago, actually needs to resort to such vile things as ghosts to enhance his faith.
No wonder the gods of Takamagahara couldn't tolerate their lord, and even a noble being like Susanoo had to personally come down to instruct and deal with him!
Well, Gawain didn't say a single reason, but Ii Naomasa has figured out pretty much what's going on behind the scenes on his own.
So, while pondering his guess, he said to Gawain, his forehead covered in sweat.
"I know I'm guilty, I shouldn't be the god... No!"
A petty person should not advocate for an evil god!
I will immediately instruct my subordinates to completely remove all shrines and priests within the area notified by Lord Ieyasu.
However... Master.
Although Lord Ieyasu possesses both literary and military talents, the world does not belong to him alone.
This..."
