Once one came into contact with too many high-level evil arts, even if they did not go mad, they would become puppets of the Aragami Spirit God.
The reason Takiyasha Hime could read the scrolls without restraint was because she possessed Himiko's power.
Thanks to Himiko, she could not only summon Great Yokai, but had also grasped a trace of the Sun Authority's power.
P.S. I'm away from home these days, so updates are uncertain.
An Accident
Night fell, and silvery moonlight spilled across the ground. Somewhere unknown, insects chirped and buzzed.
The fragrance of night filled the air, weaving a soft net that shrouded every sight within it. Everything the eyes touched seemed covered by that soft net. Even the grass and trees no longer felt as real as they did during the day.
They all carried hazy, illusory colors. Each concealed its finer details and guarded its secrets, giving people a dreamlike sensation.
Takiyasha Hime stood atop the Tenshu-kaku. Beneath the silver moon, she was somewhat different from usual. She no longer resembled the Sun Queen, but rather a goddess of the silver moon.
It sounded incredible, but it was indeed true... By day, she was the sun; by night, she was the moon.
Whether sun or moon, both suited her temperament well.
Takiyasha Hime held Golden Pill in her hand and gently drew it.
"Father..."
Looking at Golden Pill in her hand, a trace of nostalgia flashed through Takiyasha Hime's eyes.
To others, Taira no Masakado was the greatest villain of all time, but in Takiyasha Hime's eyes, he had been a very dependable father.
Moreover, Taira no Masakado had given her no lack of fatherly love.
So, in order to revive her father... she could do things that defied heaven and violated all moral laws.
