The master of the Ooku

Let's go back to before Kasuga-no-Tsubone was confused by Kama's words. Although the words of others could not penetrate her heart, there was a god in her heart.

Parvati gently lowered her hand and placed it on Kasuga-no-Tsubone's shoulder.

"Lady Parvati, please don't comfort me anymore. Look at what I've done. I've devoted my whole life to the Ooku, but in the end, I've brought about its destruction with my own hands."

Like a mother who always wanted to raise her child but ended up destroying him with her own hands, what a foolish woman. Knowing full well that immortality is impossible, she still made such a wish.

If I can be forgiven, then there are no sinners in the world!

Seeing the weeping Kasuga-no-Tsubone, Parvati sighed deeply. She sat down sideways, placed her hands on Parvati's shoulders, and looked into her eyes. Gradually, in Kasuga-no-Tsubone's eyes, the solemn and gentle goddess Parvati changed, replaced by a goddess with ten arms behind her back, sapphire blue skin, and a fierce and menacing appearance.

Kasuga-no-Tsubone Tsubone was startled by her, and the goddess only appeared for a moment before disappearing.

"Actually, I'm not as gentle and virtuous as you see me. I often go to the battlefield and drink the blood of my enemies. Once, I went too far in the fighting and started dancing a world-destroying dance."

It almost turned into a disaster, but thankfully my husband bore the brunt of my anger and murderous intent, preventing it from escalating to that point.

Kasuga-no-Tsubone, it's normal for a mother to have extraordinary love for her child. Even wild animals know to protect their cubs, so how can a human be expected to overcome love?

"And now, we need you to pull yourself together. Bai Mo is still holding on, Ritsuka is still holding on, how can you just give up like this?"

Parvati is not merely a Servant or a deity; she is Shiva's wife, a gentle goddess and a fierce War God. In a sense, she embodies the multifaceted nature of feminine gentleness and strength.

Therefore, she was able to understand Kasuga-no-Tsubone's feelings and offer her guidance.

Despite Parvati's encouragement, Kasuga-no-Tsubone took several deep breaths, but the image of the ferocious female War God lingered in her mind. Gradually, her gaze sharpened.

That's precisely why, as a mother, how can you cry and whine when your child is hurt?

Whatever sins may be committed, now we must bear them along with the responsibility!

She kept thinking, searching for a chance of winning. Soon, the words that Bai Mo had relayed to Ritsuka echoed in her ears.

"No matter what it becomes, this will always be the Ooku."

Kasuga-no-Tsubone pondered for a moment, then said, "Lady Parvati, please let go. You are currently maintaining me, who should be dead. Please let go now."

Are you still so stubborn?

"No, I have already made up my mind, this is my decision. That god of love became the Formless One because of Shiva's flames, right? Then, as long as Kasuga-no-Tsubone loses his body and only has a soul, he will also become an invisible being."

And then, I will fight her and show you how I win.

Parvati thought this plan was too unreliable. Even if they both became the Formless One, the difference between Kasuga-no-Tsubone's soul and the god Kama was like the difference between a drop of water and the ocean.

"Don't worry. No matter what, even if it becomes the universe, this is still the fifth level of the Ooku, still the Ooku. And I, Kasuga-no-Tsubone, as long as I stand in the Ooku, then I am the master of the Ooku!"

Back to the present, sensing Kasuga-no-Tsubone's intentions, Kama let out a disdainful laugh.

"That's what they mean by overestimating oneself, isn't it? But I also really like this small but giving it my all." After saying that, fourteen already blurry figures appeared around Kama.

That is the foundation of the Ooku, the soul of successive Tokugawa shoguns.

"The Ooku is the Ooku of the Tokugawa, and these Tokugawa shoguns... Heh, now even if I make them bark like dogs, or tie them up naked and watch me and this man in front of me have fun, they won't say a single 'no'!"

Do you think you can take the authority of the Lord of the Ooku from my hands?

"Do you really have to use me as an analogy?" Bai Mo said, somewhat displeased, while also feeling a sense of unease.

Chiyome is one, and so is Kama in front of me. Why do they always seem to be cuckolding the highest authority in Japan?

This place has a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Enough! You shameless woman! Letting you into the Ooku is a disgrace to my Kasuga-no-Tsubone!"

"Shameless... What are you talking about? Compared to this filthy harem, I am purer than a lotus. You should see how pathetic these disgraceful pigs are, driven mad by illusions."

"Hmm? You didn't think I'd personally serve them, did you?"

"What, isn't that right?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be ungrateful. There are so many people, how can my brain handle them all? You should be content with just filling your brains with some decadent power or directly brainwashing them with Magnetic Field Power."

Besides, my clone used to have Magnetic Field Power. If I were to carelessly crush so many people at once, how could I possibly fall into depravity and be sent to the other side of the ocean to become a eunuch? And I have no desire to repair something like that."

Kama mocked Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and in that instant when Matsudaira Nobutsuna distracted him, Kasuga-no-Tsubone's soul had already touched the fifteen inro he had collected earlier.

Fifteen ravens flew out, carrying Kasuga-no-Tsubone's admonitions, and merged into the Ooku.

"Tokugawa Yoshitsuna! There's a limit to how much you like animals. As the ruler of the Tianxia, you should create a world where both people and animals can be happy, but you're just being ridiculous!"

"The Tokugawa Iesada! If there's no money, we should economize on expenses, and reforms should be approached with even greater caution. These are matters of Tianxia importance, especially economic reforms that are completely unfamiliar to us. How can we allow our subordinates to act recklessly!"

"And you! Iesada! What can you do when faced with foreign black ships? As the ruler of a nation, where can you escape to? You are the backbone of this country; if you bow down, the entire nation will lose face!"

Kasuga-no-Tsubone's words were piercing to the heart. She had long wanted to give these unworthy descendants a good scolding. As the first wet nurse of the Ooku, the mother of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the lord of the Ooku, she clearly had a suppressive power over these descendants.

A suppressive force originating from the depths of the soul.

Seeing this fierce woman, Kama and Bai Mo stopped fighting in tacit agreement. Kama was stunned by what he saw.

What a fierce woman! If these Tokugawa shoguns weren't their spirits, she would have suspected that Kasuga-no-Tsubone would have given them some kind of Japanese family punishment on the spot.

The next moment, Kama was horrified to discover that these Tokugawa shoguns who had bowed down first showed fear and dread, and then, one by one, they actually lowered their heads to Kasuga-no-Tsubone.

These generals were the cornerstones of Tokugawa Kaiten Labyrinth; with their surrender, Kama gradually lost control of the Ooku.

"This is my Ooku! Bring back the floor, restore the hallway!"

As Kasuga-no-Tsubone finished speaking, the Ooku building reappeared, enveloping Kama. She had chosen the Ooku as the place for her ascension, so even though she was part of the universe, this was still the universe beneath the fifth level of the Ooku.

At this moment, Kama realized that the Kasuga-no-Tsubone no Tsubone before her was no longer the Kasuga-no-Tsubone of the past; she had become the true ruler of the Ooku.
