The villainous second young lady becomes a god in a bizarre Tokyo.

As he spoke, his wine-red hue shimmered with an eerie light, as thick as fresh blood.

In an instant, the room was filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood, a smell that was both nauseating and strangely addictive.

Before Kujou Shinobu, a pool of pure blood appeared, from which a blood-red sea bream leaped, splashing countless blood droplets.

On the blood-red sea bream, where there were originally fish scales, there were copper coin patterns. Each copper coin pattern emanated a large amount of divine aura, with divine power as powerful as a prison.

It is as long and melodious as a deep ocean.

The sea bream naturally jumped into Kujou Shinobu's hands, becoming motionless as if it had turned into a dead object.

Kujo Shinobu held up the sea bream with fervent eyes and exclaimed.

"This is the divine artifact that Ebisu possessed, and its name is Misfortune and Fortune!"

"Although Ebisu's combat strength is mediocre, he is a god of extremely high status. While he brought enormous wealth to the Kujo Zaibatsu, he also took away the opportunity for his combat strength to expand."

"However, all of this can be compensated for by misfortune or fortune!"

"The only thing that can be taken from the gods is the power of the gods themselves."

"The divine artifacts of fortune and misfortune have the ability to plunder the power of the gods, but they need a medium."

"You must be very curious as to why I spent what outsiders would consider a large amount of extraordinary resources to marry those two twin girls in the summer."

"The answer is simple, they..."

"—It's the medium!"

"What I want to plunder is the god of the Summer Zaibatsu!"

Kujou Toru's ambition was revealed at this moment. He revealed his entire plan in order to gain Naraku Kamishiro's trust.

However, he would not reveal the specifics of the looting operations.

Upon hearing Kujou Toru's words, a knowing glint flashed in Naraku's dark eyes.

"No wonder."

Indeed, Kujou Shinobu made that choice back then.

This has puzzled many people. Even though it is a drop in the ocean compared to the resources of the Kujo Zaibatsu, it is still considered a large amount by other forces.

They exchanged a large amount of resources for a pair of twin sisters who were originally a useless superpower and had no superpowers.

All the factions thought that the head of the Kujo family had lost his mind.

Although other factions knew that the head of the Kujo family often used money to acquire young women, this was the first time he had used so many extraordinary resources.

Even if it were to form a marriage alliance with the Summer Zaibatsu, it wouldn't be a worthwhile deal.

If Kujou Kaname's true purpose was to obtain divine power, then Kujou Kaname could not be said to have lost his mind, but rather to be cunning and shrewd!

His true ambition is unmatched.

Even Naraku Kamishiro was slightly inferior.

After all, Naraku Kamishiro's ambition at that time was only to advance to A-rank; it was only by chance that he happened to have power close to that of a true god.

Once you experience that immense power, it's impossible not to yearn for it.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, even if it were Kamishiro Himeko who had been promoted to A-rank, he could have crushed her with one hand.

Hearing Naraku's silence, Kujou Shinobu knew that his words had stirred Naraku's heart.

"how."

"As long as you're willing to help me, I'm willing to share the profits with you if the plan succeeds."

"According to records, the god of the Summer Zaibatsu only began to slumber a thousand years ago, but that god was an extremely powerful fighting god."

"If he hadn't fallen asleep so late, he probably would have fallen asleep with Ebisu. The Summer Zaibatsu would probably be the head of the Zaibatsu by now."

"That's why it's possible to obtain a portion of that god's power."

"It would be no problem for both of us to advance to the peak of A-rank, and we would also gain control of the divine power from that god!"

Kujou Shinobu's words were full of seduction.

If it were the old Naraku, he would have readily agreed and done as instructed.

However, after that disastrous failure of his plan, he became more cautious.

He understands.

If I were to completely follow Kujou Kaname's advice, I would no longer be on equal footing with him, but would become a pawn to be used by him.

This is not what he wants to see; he does not want to be controlled by others.

Naraku Kamishiro's gaze was fixed on the blood-red sea bream; the existence of the divine artifact made him somewhat concerned.

If he remembered correctly, the sword wielded by the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain at the final moment when he killed the old god was very likely also a divine artifact.

At that time, the true divinity of the artifact was activated.

So why is it that Kujou Kaname, who clearly has no divinity, can now manipulate this divine artifact called "Fortune and Misfortune"?

Just as Naraku Kamishiro was thinking this, Shinobu Kujou clearly noticed his gaze.

A smile appeared on Kujou Shinobu's lips.

"Kamishiro Naraku, do you desire both fortune and misfortune?"

"Don't even think about it. You can't possibly have it. Even if I put it in your hands, you can't control fortune or misfortune."

"Ebisu is the god of the Kujo Zaibatsu, and our bloodline originates from Ebisu."

"Therefore, we can manipulate fortune and misfortune through bloodlines."

"And you... ha."

Kujou Shinobu's meaning was self-evident, and it was filled with a sense of superiority.

In his eyes, Naraku Kamishiro was just a superhuman who had climbed up from the bottom, and although he had enough ambition and strategy, that was all.

Although he can't eliminate the other party now, he still has a lot of information that the other party doesn't know. When the time comes, he will reach the peak of A-level by chance and his superpower will be further upgraded.

Removing Naraku from the Shindai clan was a simple matter of lifting a finger.

However, Kujo Shinobu did not notice.

Naraku Kamishiro exerted all his strength to mobilize the wisp of divinity that he had fused with from the old gods, which flowed invisibly toward the blood-red sea bream.

In Kujou Shinobu's hands, the blood-red sea bream's previously stiff body now had a strange light emanating from its dark eyes.

The fish tail trembled almost imperceptibly.

Upon seeing this, Naraku Kamishiro's lips curled into a twisted, smug smile.

Kujo Shunin?

Watch his backstab!

However, just as the two were each harboring their own secrets...

There was a knock on the door.

"Thump thump thump—!"

A report came from behind the door from the butler, Kujo.

"Master, someone from the Xia Ri Zai Consortium has come to visit, saying they are acting on the orders of Xia Ri Liu."

……

……

Chapter 123: The Death of Xia Rixuanlong

Upon hearing this, Naraku Kamishiro and Shinobu Kujo exchanged a glance.

It must be said that Naraku Kamishiro was indeed impressed by the plan described by Shinobu Kujo, after experiencing the immense power beyond the pinnacle of A-rank.

If he sees no hope at all, Naraku Kamishiro will probably become a complete entertainer.

However, after Kujou Shinobu revealed his plan to plunder the power of the gods, Naraku Kamishiro's information corroborated his own, leading him to conclude that what the other party said was true.

At least most of it is true.

Since that's the case, he's unwilling to spend his whole life in Kujou Toru's body, and he certainly won't allow himself to remain at the peak of B-rank forever.

He wanted to see the view from a higher vantage point.

but!

He will not be subject to Kujo Shinobu.

He has his own ideas.

In the previous operation, Naraku Kamishiro learned that, apart from bloodline, divinity can also manipulate divine artifacts.

As long as he conducts his research, the situation will soon turn around, and the balance between him and Kujou Shinobu will be completely broken.

However, it wouldn't hurt to lie low for a while during this period.

With that in mind, Naraku Kamishiro had no intention of continuing to cause trouble for Kujou Shinobu.
