Abe no Seimei would have used a method like spirit possession.
Because the age of gods has long passed. And who knows if the gods summoned to the present world will obey the summoner's commands?
Summoning gods is inherently risky.
This risk is one that Abe no Seimei may not be able to bear.
"We must contact Yoshitsune; we can't wait any longer."
"Heading towards Heian-kyo."
After thinking it over, Minamoto no Yorimitsu made a decision.
“But, Lord Raikou, isn’t this too hasty…” Usui Sadamitsu asked somewhat uneasily.
“We can’t wait any longer. The Minamoto clan has expended a lot of energy on this war, and I don’t want anything else to go wrong.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu said in a deep voice, his expression serious. “The war has dragged on and on. We originally thought we could defeat Abe no Seimei in one fell swoop, but instead we were forced out of Heian-kyo by him.”
"This time, we will use the divine power of the Yamata no Orochi to sweep across Heian-kyo and allow the Minamoto clan to completely replace the Abe family's power in Heian-kyo."
The ancient and prestigious family of Onmyoji will be established in the hands of Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
His ideal order of human society will be completed after the Genji clan completely takes control of Heian-kyo.
"Your subject understands."
Usui Sadamitsu had no choice but to comply; once Minamoto no Yorimitsu made a decision, no one could disobey it.
...
All parties are moving about, heading towards Heian-kyo.
However, Abe no Seimei had only one of the twelve divine generals, Tengu, serving him on his left and right.
"I really didn't expect this..."
Abe no Seimei kept his eyes tightly closed, a barely concealed anger simmering within him, as if it were about to erupt.
"Lord Seimei, these guys are awful."
If it weren't for the fact that the decisive battle was approaching and Abe no Seimei didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble and hadn't dealt with the Onmyoji families in Heian-kyo, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Although it wasn't within Heian-kyo, the spiritual energy of Heian-kyo's earth veins was activated.
"Perfect, you can come with me. I already know who it is."
"Let me see if the disciple my teacher accepted is one of my kindred spirits."
In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on Abe no Seimei's face.
He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense.
"Hakuzosu".
The white fox appeared at Abe no Seimei's call.
"Lord Seimei, I will do my best to get there."
Hakuzosu addressed Abe no Seimei, and instructed Abe no Seimei and the Empress to sit on its back.
Carrying the two, they set off towards the place where the god had descended.
At this moment, chaos has already emerged.
He was unaware of the chaos caused by Saigyouji Hanyu at this moment, as he was focused on maintaining the power of his spiritual energy.
"It's going to work out, this is the last one we need!"
I've calculated it countless times in my mind, even using incantations to deduce it, all for this very moment.
In an instant, Saigyouji Hanyu recited the summoning incantation of the Onmyoji.
"Mikozumi, please answer my call and come forth."
At this moment, at his call, a high and sacred spiritual being was summoned to appear.
What was originally a blurry divine image gradually became clearer.
"That's Inari, the Goddess of Inari..."
Midori stared blankly at the scene before her:
Crowned by the rising sun, draped in the night; her white skirt swaying gently, the Kagura bell ringing in her hand.
The Inari deity has appeared in the world.
Chapter 118 Seimei
The beautiful Kagura music is quite soothing.
Hagoromo Gitsune looked in the direction where the god had appeared, and even she felt fear at the immense and sacred aura emanating from him.
"He did it." Hagoromo Gitsune murmured, at the same time sensing a familiar aura that seemed to be coming this way.
“Seimei, he will be your true enemy.” She felt quite pleased, for that hateful Onmyoji, Saigyouji Habu, would now have the ability to deal with him.
She inherited Kuzunoha's traits, but Hagoromo Gitsune is not Kuzunoha. What Hagoromo Gitsune desires is to live as Hagoromo Gitsune.
"The gods have descended, and it's done."
Saigyouji Hanyu took a deep breath, feeling the immense power of this divine force.
"I will act as a god to protect this world."
"Please give me your guidance, Mr. Yuzuru."
The gentle Inari deity smiled at Saigyouji Hanyu.
"I feel the pain people are experiencing because of this disaster. I will become your shikigami in accordance with your prayers."
Her voice was gentle and soothing.
As the goddess of inari, Miketsuhime's existence brings people a bountiful harvest and prosperity.
Meanwhile, the task of summoning the gods has been completed.
[The séance ritual is complete!]
[Reward obtained: A magatama for commanding deities.]
Magatama that commands gods: Magatama can be used to command gods once, allowing the gods to exert their divine power in the mortal world.
"The true form of the gods cannot interfere with the world, so I will become your shikigami. You may use my power in various ways as you wish."
"You may call me by my name, Miketsu."
Miketsu said gently, and Saigyouji Hanyu understood the current situation.
Using the Magatama, Saigyouji Hanyu can unleash the divine power of Miketsu in the mortal world, but her power will be exhausted at that time.
This is equivalent to changing from a special SP to an SSR stage.
Now, Saigyouji Hanyu can also possess Miketsu through possession.
It maintains its divine power, but cannot use active attack skills.
"Miketsu, thank you for your help." Saigyouji Hanyu smiled faintly and nodded slightly to Miketsu.
And so, Miketsu transformed into a halo of light and took hold of Saigyouji Hanyu.
And in his hand, he now possessed a divine artifact: the Kagura Bell.
Kagura Bell has the effects of sealing, silencing, and suppressing the opponent's power. With a thought, Saigyouji Hanyu disappeared from his hand.
Kagura Bell is Miketsu's divine artifact; he is only able to use its power because Miketsu possesses it.
"When you need protection, please call upon me."
Miketsu spoke first, then fell silent.
He knew that Miketsu had gone into a deep sleep to avoid wasting her power and interfering with the present world.
"This can be considered an SSR obtained through special means, or even more precious than an SSR."
Saigyouji Hanyu chuckled; he was quite satisfied with the result.
However, his magical power was almost completely depleted, and the summoning of the Mount Tai Lord Sacrifice had greatly exhausted him.
"Master Yuzuru, how are you?"
"Has the deity disappeared...?"
Midori ran up to the altar, and Saigyouji Hanyu's shikigami all gathered around her.
Himari looked worried, while Hotaru tried to squeeze next to Saigyouji Hanyu, with Inugami, Korohime, Kubinuki, and Baku protecting her.
The spider lily and the demon sword princess were the first to go forward.
"You're really putting on a brave face." Hagoromo Gitsune looked at Saigyouji Hanyu and couldn't help but say, "You really made us worry just now."
"Did you make it?"
Because the sacred aura suddenly dissipated, they thought the ritual had failed.
"It's done, don't worry. I'm just very weak right now." He shook his head, unable to explain his condition. "In short, it's certain that I can use the power of the gods."
The grand ceremony was a success, and it did not cause any risk or harm.
"Is that so?"
"As long as you're okay."
After saying that, Hagoromo Gitsune embraced Saigyouji Hanyu. The fragrance emanating from Hagoromo Gitsune slightly stimulated Saigyouji Hanyu's nostrils.
"Too cunning, Hagoromo Gitsune!"
Midori was furious, but Hagoromo Gitsune accidentally beat her to it again.
However, it's good that Saigyouji Hanyu is alright.
At this moment, Cui Zi felt at ease.
...
"Although I don't want to bother you, trouble has come."
Ashiya Dōman couldn't help but speak up, reminding Saigōji Hūshū.
A figure descended from not far away.
"Abe no Seimei..."
"How did this guy end up here?"
"... "
Upon seeing Abe no Seimei's appearance, the other Onmyoji panicked.
"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade."
With a cold expression, Yu Yi Hu called out softly, and the Yu Yi Hu demon that had been hiding its form reappeared, revealing the fear of the demon lord.
Onikiri, holding his demon sword, warily watched the great Onmyoji who had appeared there.
"Ancestor..."
Hideyuki Hanakain swallowed hard, unable to hide his fear of Abe no Seimei.
Fear is a natural human emotion.
Because Abe no Seimei's achievements were beyond the reach of ordinary people. His true strength was also unfathomable.
"I never expected to witness such an interesting scene." He didn't look at Ashiya Doman; in his opinion, there was no need to pay attention to this old geezer.
Ashiya Dōman kept causing trouble for Abe no Seimei, but Abe no Seimei always managed to resolve it.
For him, Daoman wasn't even an enemy; he was just a way to pass the time when he was bored.
Unlike Minamoto no Yorimitsu, he couldn't stir up any big waves.
However, Abe no Seimei sensed a kindred spirit in that young Onmyoji.
He is someone very similar to Abe no Seimei in the past.
For some reason, Abe no Seimei had this premonition.
"You are Saigyouji Hanyu. I have been looking forward to meeting you, my junior brother." For the first time, Abe no Seimei showed a kind smile.
