In the present day, in Tokyo.

In front of Shinjuku Station, the steel and flesh remains of the Tsuchigumo Railway are smoldering.

Crack!
With a final, deafening roar, a mixture of mechanical groans and biological screams, erupting from the depths of steel and flesh, Tsurumi Aoi expressionlessly pulled the Dragonfly Cutter from the armpit of the Earth Spider's forelimb.

The moment the spear tip was withdrawn, the sticky flesh and shattered metal made a teeth-grinding tearing sound. The gleaming spear tassel twitched, prying aside several pieces of twisted iron still bearing scorch marks, and thick black liquid dripped slowly down the blade, spreading into a filthy puddle on the ground.

The earth spider completely lost its support.

The terrifying behemoth, constructed of flesh and metal, collapsed with a deafening roar. Sections of the outer shell, fused to its torso, cracked and caved in under the immense pressure, while broken cables bounced and sparked like dying nerves. The carapaces and fascia belonging to the flesh and blood burst open under the compression of the steel, spewing out thick, pungent sap.

The ground trembled violently, and dust and ash rose into the sky, mixed with the lingering smoke and falling black ash.

"Whew—whew—well done, Kui!"

Kanoya Yukino wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Her Glock pistol was almost out of ammunition, and the smoke emanating from the incense burner in her hand had become thinner.

Finally, we've taken care of this big guy!
The mutated Tsuchigumo that merged with the Shinkansen is indeed extremely difficult to deal with, but my junior sister is invincible!

"Everyone! We..."

After defeating the formidable enemy, Little Deer tried to say something to boost morale, but when she looked around—

Under the dim sky, Tokyo was still ablaze. As far as the eye could see, there was only ruin and devastation.

The once towering skyscrapers are now just twisted steel skeletons piercing the smoke-filled sky, with charred glass shards scattered all over the ground. The broken viaduct lies across the street like the spine of a dead beast.

Flames flickered everywhere, turning the billowing smoke a dark red, making the entire city resemble a giant crematorium slowly collapsing.

"Fufu!"

"Yukino!"

The shikigami, including the wolf and Mimiko, gathered back around the deer. They had just helped Tsurumi Aoi defeat the earth spider, and although they were tired, they were all fine.

But the exorcists in the Shinjuku area, whether survivors or those who just arrived to provide support in this "disaster area"...

No one had the energy to feel even a moment of joy at the dramatic collapse of the railway spider.

The exorcists' defenses had already been breached, resulting in heavy casualties.

Those with some strength are still struggling to hold on. For example, Nagatomo Masao is currently leaning on a broken stone hammer, panting heavily, his hand split open, blood staining the hammer handle.

The other exorcists were even more badly injured. Some knelt on the ground, barely managing to prop up the crumbling barrier with talismans; others were supported by their rescued companions, their eyes, devoid of spiritual power, filled only with numbness...

Ashes fell like black snow, covering the ruins and bloodstains, and also settling on their blood-stained faces.

In the shadows of the city, countless more twisted demons seem to emerge. They roar as they surge forth again from beneath the charred skeletons of office buildings, from behind the broken doors and windows of street shops, and from the collapsed passageways of subway stations, filling the voids left by the deaths of their companions.

Hunched, bloated, multi-limbed, formless... all sorts of strange creatures thronged together, almost filling every inch of vision. Sharp roars, twisted shrieks, hollow cries, countless inhuman sounds surged and swept along the shattered streets of Tokyo.

"This... is too much..."

The little deer's fingers tightened slightly as it gripped the copper chain of the incense burner.

Anxiety, like cold vines, crept up her spine from her ankles.

It's too much.

Even after defeating the Railway Earth Spider, which was comparable to a regional calamity, the Yellow Spring Demons seemed to be endless and unstoppable no matter how hard they tried to kill them.

If things continue like this...

"drink!"

Tsurumi Aoi shouted and hurled the dragonfly cleaver in her hand!

The heavy spear transformed into a sharp streak of light, crashing into the surging tide of demons and ghosts, blasting a spiderweb-like crater into the highway.

She then drew her Dojigiri sword, using the slender arms extending from her sleeves to pull at the ruins and debris. Her tall figure soared into the air, charging alone into the horde of demons and ghosts, standing resolutely before the exorcists' crumbling defenses.

"Xiao Kui!"

Kanoya, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch her junior sister risk her life alone. She immediately drew out several talismans and commanded her shikigami to charge forward with her once again.

It was at this time——

Bang bang bang! ! !
A heavy, rhythmic clanging of metal, accompanied by the piercing sound of a train whistle, abruptly shattered the oppressive atmosphere of the battlefield!
A pristine white train emerged from nothingness like a ghost, its massive, gleaming headlights piercing through the darkness and dust, heading towards the area where monsters were most concentrated—

It crashed in with a deafening roar!

It's the Kisaragi Train!
bang——

The train doors were wide open.

Immediately afterwards, a suffocatingly powerful demonic aura... no, rather than demonic aura, it was more like a more magnificent, strange aura mixed with "divinity" and "strange tales," which poured out like a tsunami!

"Hey-ha!"

With a clear yet powerful shout, a thick, mountain-like arc of light suddenly shot upwards, hurling a bloated, yellow spring monster named "Big Octopus Leg" high into the sky like a tattered ball!
As the dust settled, a petite figure appeared majestically beside the Ruyue train.

She was completely enveloped in crimson armor, looking like a delicate yet bulky little tin can, yet she effortlessly carried a crab shell hammer that was larger than her entire body.

Small in stature, but powerful.

The strongest samurai in the sea kingdom, the captain of security in New Takamagahara—

Kani-hime makes her grand entrance!
"Rise up! Sons of the Sea Kingdom! It's our turn to make a name for ourselves!"

With a single swing of her hammer, the giant octopus-like leg, which was also a sea monster but whom she found utterly unpleasant to look at, was sent flying. The Crab Princess shook her head smugly, the tin can rattling loudly. Behind her, a swarm of armored warrior crabs stood in formation, while lean and agile mermaids, wielding bone forks, waited for their chance to strike. The strong, salty smell of the ocean instantly filled the air.

Almost at the same time——

A large, vermilion wine bowl rolled out of the carriage. The amber-colored wine inside seemed to have a life of its own, gushing out with a rich and exotic aroma that carried a tremendous force that swept away everything. It not only scattered the cluster of demons and ghosts from the underworld that had gathered nearby, but also provided a more convenient space for the Crab Princess and other sea monsters to move around.

Crack! Crack!
The sound of heavy chains dragging across the gravel.

Several thick, jet-black iron chains, like giant pythons, suddenly shot out and precisely coiled around the "Black-Toothed Woman" who was trying to disappear into the shadows and the "Hair-Cutting Monster" who was clinging to the ruins. The chains tightened abruptly, and under the terrifying crushing force, muffled sounds of bones shattering and flesh exploding rang out one after another. The demons and monsters were instantly turned into filthy bits of flesh.

"Humph!"

With a deep, thunderous nasal sound, the majestic Golden Bear Child strode out, his mountain-like body treading through the pervasive stench of blood.

Each step he took was as heavy as a collapsing mountain, causing the pebbles beneath his feet to tremble and bounce. His enormous, bell-like eyes slowly swept across the battlefield, and the pair of curved, golden horns on his head reflected a cold, fierce light in the firelight. His overwhelming pressure was almost tangible, causing the low-level demons and ghosts that approached to instinctively cower and retreat.

At the edge of the enormous shadow he cast, a slender, fair hand slowly reached out and gently picked up the wine bowl on the ground with its fingertips.

Hoshiguma Doji stood silently, her eyelids slightly lowered. Her crimson Tang robe remained perfectly in place amidst the smoke and wind, her dignified beauty standing out starkly against the surrounding desolation. The single red horn on her forehead shimmered with a tranquil and gentle luster, like a ruby ​​under the moonlight.

"Everyone, Dajiangshan——"

She gently twirled the wine bowl between her fingers, her voice carrying a languid calm, yet clearly piercing through the clamor of the battlefield:
"——Come on."

The moment the words fell, the elite demons of Mount Ooe, who had been poised for battle behind the two Ooe Mountain Demon Kings, unleashed their full power. Roars, howls, and the sharp clang of weapons being drawn merged into a destructive torrent, and boiling battle intent soared into the sky like a raging flood, sweeping towards the collapsing enemy ranks!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield flank—

"Clang, clang—click, click..."

A distorted, grotesque sound, like the mechanical music from a broken old music box, suddenly rang out. Wearing a rabbit headgear, Usagi-maru moved with incredible speed, weaving through the flanks of the demons of the underworld, his fire axe drawing a chilling arc, easily cleaving a bloody path.

"Hey! Hey!"

Accompanied by a few rustic shouts, the massive, mountain-like Yayoi sat on a simple sedan chair made of branches, carried out by several tanuki with laborious effort. Close behind were the tanuki foxes of the Iyo region, their figures elusive, their eyes gleaming with cunning and unpredictable light. Without exception, they were all carefully selected from the tanuki fox clan, the most adaptable and agile of the best warriors.

"Mom..." "Mom..."

The sounds of children's soft murmurs and sobs overlapped and intertwined.

A massive shadow rose from the ruins, and the outline of the Demon Mother Goddess gradually materialized amidst the surging resentment.

The remains of countless Ksitigarbha statues and the twisted, writhing water droplets adhered to and interlocked with each other, layering and clinging to her body like a living jigsaw puzzle, eventually solidifying into a blood-and-flesh dress that constantly writhed and dripped with black, viscous substances.

She raised her head and let out a piercing shriek. Her "skirt" suddenly exploded, transforming into countless black tentacles that were wrapped around the illusory image of a baby crying. They lashed out and pierced the surrounding demons and ghosts from the underworld!
"..."

At a higher point on the battlefield, on the broken edge of the top floor of a half-tilted office building, the former Moon Palace Master "Oboro" now stands quietly.

She was slender and stood serenely. Her plain face, without a mask, stood out clearly in the smoke and fire, creating a subtle contrast with the Moon People behind her, whose faces were covered with plain white masks and who wore flowing white robes.

The Moon People, with their aloof and detached demeanor, exuding an otherworldly nobility and tranquility, were now raising their hands in unison, palms facing upwards. Soft moonlight flowed from their fingertips, rapidly weaving and extending, transforming into a cool, clear, translucent barrier, like an inverted glass bowl, gently and firmly enveloping and protecting a collapsing neighborhood behind them.

But that's not all—

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The earth trembled and groaned more violently than ever before.

Kara-la-la—

The concrete surface cracked, and the asphalt road surface rolled up. Countless crimson spider lilies sprouted, grew, and grew wildly from every crack, instantly blooming into fist-sized, dazzlingly beautiful, blood-red clusters of flowers, forming a sea of ​​flowers that instantly dyed the Shinjuku district red.

Immediately afterwards, a giant hand made of stark white bones, tightly covered with ancient and ornate gauntlets and arm armor, burst out from the center of the sea of ​​flowers. The armor plates collided, producing a loud, metallic clang!

Boom! ! !

A colossal, awe-inspiring skeleton, clad in tattered yet still vividly blood-red ancient armor, wielding a massive cross-shaped spear, rose from the ground and stood majestically between heaven and earth!

A ghostly blue soul flame flickered in its empty eye sockets. With a casual wave of its spear, the resulting hurricane caused the sea of ​​spider lilies to surge like blood waves, wantonly dividing the streets and forming a giant "chessboard," with petals flying everywhere.

boom! boom! boom!
In the center and along the edges of the flower field, pebbles and soil flew about.

Nineteen human-sized skeleton soldiers, clad in tattered armor, burst from the ground and stood silently at various strategic points on the vast "chessboard" formed by the spreading sea of ​​flowers—infantry, chariots, flanks... each in its place, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent, guarding the central throne.

The true "King General" was a colossal, mountain-like skeleton clad in tattered, crimson armor. On its shoulder armor, a slender, delicate young woman sat silently.

The swirling sea of ​​spider lilies adorned her neat modern uniform, while the tattered ancient armor of the skeleton was simultaneously tinged with flowing crimson. The girl lifted her leg, her shapely legs, encased in black pantyhose, crossed, the tips of her slender black leather shoes upturned, her skirt and hair fluttering gently in the gust of wind carrying the scent of blood and flowers.

Kaoru Kaoru, the Yama Lord who holds the power of life and death over the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, appears on the battlefield with her loyal servants!

Facing the still surging tide of Yomi demons ahead, slightly hesitant due to the overwhelming force of the Takamagahara forces, the Enma girl remained calm, merely raising her wrist slightly—

Snapped!
The delicate folding fan in her hand unfolded crisply, pointing directly at the endless darkness and demonic tide ahead.

[Empress's Throne]
The reinforcements from Takamagahara, centered in Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo, launched a night parade of a hundred demons that completely overwhelmed the Yomi clan in a more magnificent, orderly, and overwhelming manner!

As those powerful allied figures, some familiar and some unfamiliar, appeared one after another, Kanoya Yukino, who had just been fighting desperately in the demon tide with the tragic determination to "live and die with her junior sister," couldn't help but widen her eyes in slight astonishment.

After the initial shock, a surge of exhilaration washed away her weariness and gloom like a torrent.

Her spirits finally lifted considerably.

It wasn't just the arrival of the Takamagahara reinforcements that turned the tide of the battle; more importantly, Shika was well aware of Kamiya's overall strategy today.

In order to deal with a possible sneak attack by Ashiya Dōman, the master deployed heavy troops at the two crucial strategic nodes of the Moon's Dark Side and Yomotsu Hirasaka. A large number of the fighting forces in Takamagahara should have been guarding those two places.

Now, these demons from Takamagahara, who should have been guarding the key places, have gathered in Tokyo in the present world!
This fact points to only one conclusion that almost makes her want to cheer out loud—

"The final battle with Ashiya Dōman... Master definitely won!" (End of Chapter)
