Righteousness

Before he could even utter a word, Director Abe was already overwhelmed by Kamui's power, unable to breathe.

Kichi Hogen suddenly said, "Alliance Leader, I feel like this dagger has... the aura of Director Abe?"

He looked at Shuya with a questioning gaze, his tone uncertain.

Shuya was taken aback for a moment, then smiled approvingly.

He quickly stopped smiling and looked with interest at Director Abe face was alternating between pale and flushed.

He said, "Director Abe, what do you say? Did you try to assassinate me?"

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"So, Director Abe... do you think there's a divine aura on that dagger?" Shuya and unfathomable.

"I..."

Director Abe was sweating profusely.

Damn it, I'm done for...

How could they?

How dare you?!

"What exactly do you want...?"

"I didn't intend to do anything. I was just assassinated, and I need to settle accounts with the killer. Isn't that a simple principle?"

Shuya casually toyed with the dagger. "But this dagger... I do seem to faintly sense Director Abe's aura..."

Director Abe was ashen.

The Shrine's messengers opened their mouths to speak, but couldn't utter a word, overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura.

They used to look down on the Monster Alliance because they had powerful backers.

Because they know that as long as the Alliance wants to stay in this business, it has to follow the rules.

As long as you follow the rules, you can't lay a hand on them.

That's why they have the misconception that they can look down on Shuya and the Alliance.

However, now that they've discovered the other side's lack of discipline, they realize that any one of the powerful Monster on the other side could tear them apart...

A chill inexplicably rose from my heart.

The Monster felt an inexplicable increase in Power of Awe, and after a moment of surprise, they burst into laughter.

They thought they were so great, but they were just going through the motions.

But they didn't speak, not daring to interrupt Shuya.

The Shrine's messengers looked at the Supernatural Bureau with hopeful eyes, hoping they would use some trump card to rescue them.

Although Director Abe had some trump cards, they were no match for the years of accumulation by the Kyoto Monster Domain.

He stared at the dagger in Shuya's hand, stammering, "I feel that the aura of this deity... perhaps, maybe..."

"Yes... it's possible."

He did not give a definitive answer.

But that's enough.

Shuya nodded in satisfaction and called out to the Monster, "Did you all hear that? Even the director of the Extraordinary Department believes that the gods sent someone to assassinate me. This cannot be tolerated, or you might be the next target!"

"Follow me, everyone. I'm going to question those high and mighty gods: why did they want to assassinate me?"

Upon hearing this, a large number of fully equipped Monster poured out of Suzaku Avenue, and rows of Monster assembled.

Shuya waved his hand, and the Monster moved out of the city and lined up in formation.

His teammates were already in the middle of the formation.

"You..."

Director Abe took a breath. They're setting off so soon? They were clearly well-prepared!

He couldn't help but ask, "Inoue Shuya, do you know what you're doing?"

"Director Abe, you don't need to worry about these things. Please bear with us for the next few days and stay in the Monster City. Don't worry, you won't be mistreated."

Shuya lost interest in talking to the tools, and he didn't even have a chance to speak to those Shrine messengers.

He waved his hand and unleashed a burst of force, sending the group led by the Supernatural Bureau into the city, to their former residences.

With Shuya caused the Kyoto Monster City to light up with four colors, and the phantoms of the Four Sacred Beasts appeared and disappeared, suppressing all directions. The Kyoto Monster City activated a powerful defense mode, and no one except Shuya was allowed to enter or leave.

These people were kept in the city for two reasons: first, to keep the upcoming operation secret; and second, to hold the people from the Supernatural Bureau hostage, so that if the gods dared to attack, they could conveniently pin the attack on the Supernatural Bureau.

On the surface, the Supernatural Bureau is the "suspect in the assassination of Shuya," so it's reasonable for Shuya to detain them temporarily. With his current power and status, he can basically let the matter drop without any further discussion.

This reason doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but it serves as a convenient fig leaf.

Furthermore, detaining these high-ranking officials would be enough to keep the Japan Bureau of the Supernatural Bureau in check for the time being, preventing them from interfering in the war between gods and demons.

Shuya really didn't dare to do anything to the Supernatural Bureau, so he could only make use of it in this way.

For these reasons, Shuya was not worried about the safety of the Kyoto Monster Domain.

Besides the Supernatural Bureau being held hostage, there are also a bunch of old Monster in the city.

They won't help Shuya, but they won't just stand by and watch the Monster City fall either.

Shuya and his men left the Monster City, Supernatural Bureau and others stood inside the city, and no Monster interfered with their freedom.

The Shrine staff immediately tried to sense their deity's distress call, but were unable to make contact at all.

"It's no use, the Monster City is on high alert right now."

Director Abe squinted at the city walls and the tightly closed gates, which were shimmering with four colors of light.

After he finished speaking, he immediately said to his daughter, "See? I told you that guys who are that handsome aren't good people!"

Unexpectedly, his daughter glared at him and said:

"Shu-chan has her reasons!"

Other female agents from the Supernatural Bureau also said:

"That's right, Shu-chan didn't hurt us, did she?"

Do you know how hard Shu-chan works?!

"It's just a few days of confinement, just bear with it."

"Ha, men!"

You're a fucking idiot!

Director Abe was getting a headache; even being tricked by Monster hadn't made him this angry.

He flung his sleeves and stormed off in a huff.

"Wait, Chief, where are you going?"

An officer pressed for further questioning.

"What? Go back to sleep!"

Director Abe said irritably.

It wasn't that he was careless; rather, he knew that the Supernatural Bureau represented the authority of the Earth Federation, and there was some justification for detaining them for a few days.

But he wouldn't dare to hurt himself!

This is the source of the Supernatural Bureau's confidence.

As for the Shrine messengers over there—what business is it of theirs!

The bureau staff watched helplessly as their director was driven away by his daughter.

Deputy Chief Ashiya said, "Alright, everyone can leave now. Go wherever you want, consider it a holiday."

"All right."

"Oh, I have to go."

"What a coincidence, I also have something to do."

"They've already moved."

Some people suddenly dispersed.

The others looked over in confusion and discovered that they had run to a distance where some female Monster were vaguely waiting for them.

"Pooh!"

The bureau staff who hadn't made any Monster girl friends let out envious cries.

The Supernatural Bureau disbanded on the spot, while the Shrine members attempted to break out of the Monster City, but all their attempts failed.

On the other side.

Shuya had already led his men out of the Monster Domain.

He thought his men were too slow, so he personally led them in flight.

He transformed into the Vermilion Bird, enveloping his teammates and the demons, and flew through the Spirit Realm.

They flew towards the Fushimi Inari Divine Domain.

The Fushimi Inari Divine Domain and the Kyoto Monster Domain are not far apart.

Soon, a vast Divine Domain appeared before them.

Shuya rushed in without hesitation.

A beautiful Divine Domain unfolded before their eyes, and countless divine servants on the ground stared blankly as the divine bird, displaying its unrestrained divine power, descended.

In this silent moment, Shuya looked at the stunned creatures on the ground and suddenly remembered a few lines of lyrics:

Maybe there are other animals watching us,

And thinking that someday,

We will beat them down---

Section 276, page 260: The Righteousness

The Fushimi Inari Divine Domain covers a vast area with beautiful scenery, resembling a paradise on earth.

Looking down from the air, there is a magnificent mountain in the Inari Divine Domain, with winding paths leading up the mountain, and one vermilion torii Torii Gate after another stretching from the foot of the mountain to the Shrine at the top. This scenery is truly unique.

The mountains are lush with trees, and the flowers and green grass exude a refreshing atmosphere.

Yamashita are stretches of farmland.

The fields were planted with all kinds of edible crops that could be found in the world. These crops were grown by the Power of Faith and had various benefits. They could even replenish the physical strength, energy, and Power of Will of extraordinary individuals.

During the World War, Inari Shrine served as a logistical support unit in the Japan theater of operations. Although it did not fight much on the front lines, it made significant contributions and held a highly respected position.

Because of this, the various Divine Domain of Inari Shrine have been attacked multiple times by Western supernatural forces.

Although they survived, after the war, the gods of Inari Shrine mostly fell into a deep sleep.

They had undergone several Age of Gods during the war and were not seriously injured, but still needed to rely on slumber to recover from their injuries.

Shuya glanced across the Divine Domain and saw many white foxes, like elves, frolicking freely within it, while a large number of servants, transformed from the remnants of believers' souls, worked diligently.

There were also priests and priestesses cleaning or practicing.

This peaceful, fairyland-like atmosphere perfectly matches people's imagination of Divine Domain.

---Until Shuya broke in, this place was peaceful and beautiful.

Just when the people of Fushimi Inari Divine Domain thought today would be another beautiful and ordinary day,...

The sky burst into flames.
