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

This is a completely self-destructive act.

The Kujo Zaibatsu can do without an A-rank guardian family, but they absolutely cannot allow Ebisu's power to be diminished.

Ebisu is already a relatively weak god. If he were to lose even more power and reach the peak of A-rank combat strength, what if other forces found out?

I'm afraid anyone could come over and step on it.

Without the protection of divine power, the Kujo Zaibatsu may fall from its position as one of the four major Zaibatsu.

However, Naraku Kamishiro didn't care.

As long as he can gain power, what does it matter which god he is?

At this moment, he had retained his divinity within the body of the Fortune and Misfortune sea bream, and with this divinity, he was able to sense the location of Fortune and Misfortune within Kujou Shinobu's body.

After realizing this, Naraku Kamishiro continuously manipulated fortune and misfortune, gradually gaining control over them step by step.

However, Naraku Kamishiro discovered that manipulating fortune and misfortune consumed his divinity too quickly, relying on the wisp of divinity he had obtained from the old gods.

I estimate that it won't be long before I get used to the good and bad fortune, and then I'll have squandered it all.

There must be another way to obtain divinity, and when manipulating fortune and misfortune, Naraku Kamishiro discovers that he can actually mobilize the divinity within fortune and misfortune.

It was used to replenish what it had consumed, and the wisps of divinity were increasing even more than before.

This is practically creating a perpetual motion machine.

Of course, Naraku Kamishiro also knew that although Misfortune and Fortune were divine artifacts and naturally possessed divinity, this divinity was not infinite.

The source of the divine nature of fortune and misfortune is naturally Ebisu.

However, he already had a plan in mind.

Although Naraku Kamishiro cannot directly absorb Ebisu Kujou Munemitsu's divinity at present, he can obtain Ebisu's divinity through fortune and misfortune.

Of course, it is only divinity.

However, when the time is right, one can plunder Ebisu's power through fortune and misfortune.

As for Ebisu's divinity, it gave him Ebisu's traits, but he didn't care about that.

Naraku's body was a mess to begin with, first through a bizarre fusion, then through the fusion with an old god, and now it's being shared with that old guy, Kujou Kaname.

What does it matter if he has Ebisu's traits? All he wants is enough power!

At this moment, Kujou Toru was naturally unaware of Naraku Kamishiro's thoughts.

He thought he had controlled Naraku Kamishiro through his own schemes, but he did not expect that Naraku Kamishiro actually possessed divinity, nor did he know that as long as one possesses divinity, one can control divine artifacts.

Kujou Shinobu looked up at the towering tree, silently waiting for the arrival of the summer willow.

Not long after, Naoto Natsumi opened the door for Natsumi Yasuyuki, who then entered the courtyard with a cane.

Naoto Natsumi quickly left.

The specific details of the discussions between the two heads of the family were beyond his knowledge.

The more you hear, the faster you die.

As soon as Natsumi Yoriyu entered the courtyard, his eyes fell on Kujou Toru's black robe, and he couldn't help but exchange pleasantries.

"It's been many years since we last met, and your taste has certainly changed quite a bit."

According to Xia Yuanliu's memory.

Back then, Kujou Kaname always liked to wear red clothes, had red hair, red pants, and even his socks and underwear were red.

Now, not only has he lost his hair, but even his clothes are black.

As for why he knew that Kujou Shinobu's underwear was red.

That's certainly not something indescribable.

Rather, it was during a battle when they had not yet reached A-rank and become the head of the family, when Xia Riyuanliu's sword energy tore through Kujou Shunin's clothes, that they caught a fleeting glimpse of him.

Natsumi Yoriyuki and Kujou Toru were from the same era, so they naturally met frequently when they were young.

However, when the two of them became heads of their respective families...

It's been a long time since we last met.

Even the marriage arrangements were finalized by the two of them, and then their subordinates were arranged to communicate with them.

After all, for the Xia family, the marriage alliance was nothing more than an exchange of goods and not of great importance.

As for the Kujo Zaibatsu, since the Natsumi Zaibatsu agreed without the head of the family meeting, why would they bother with such trivial matters?

And so, the marriage was arranged.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Natsumi Yoriyuki and Kujou Toru will likely never see each other again before they die.

However, life's circumstances are always unpredictable.

The chain of events caused by the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain eventually brought the two together.

When faced with Natsumi Yoriyu's teasing, Kujo Kaname smiled and replied in kind.

People are always changing.

"Take the Yuan Liu family head for example. He used to have a murderous aura, and strangers dared not approach within a hundred meters of him. But now he has become kind and benevolent."

After a friendly opening remark.

Summer Day Ryu and Kujou Toru both knelt down on their seats.

Kujo Shunin was the first to say.

"That's enough of the pleasantries, Patriarch Yuan Liu."

"As heads of the same family, we have many things to deal with within the conglomerate. Let's get down to business quickly."

"What is it you wanted to do by calling me here this time?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanliu nodded, carefully organizing his thoughts before slowly beginning to speak.

"You should know that Natsumi Rinrei has become a subordinate of the Lord of Natsumi Mountain."

Xia Yuanliu was the first to bring this up.

Natsumi Rinrei became a subordinate of the lord of Natsumi Mountain, while Kujo Kaname had previously married Natsumi Rinrei, which means that the lord of Natsumi Mountain and Kujo Kaname also had conflicts.

Natsumi Yoriyu used this point to remind Kujo Kaname that the lord of Natsumi Mountain was also on the opposite side of the Kujo Zaibatsu.

Then he continued.

"Our two major conglomerates are now on the same side."

"Therefore, I won't hide too many things from you."

"Two days ago, the Pure Land True Principle Cult launched a nationwide riot, and even Kyoto was attacked by the Pure Land True Principle Cult. You should know about these things, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kujou Kaname's wine-red pupils shifted slightly backward, sensing the presence of Shinjiro Naraku.

Then nodded.

Then, Xia Yuanliu continued.

"Then, the Kujo Zaibatsu should not have received the news about what I am about to say."

"Even the Summer Zaibatsu learned about it by chance."

His tone suddenly became serious, and his previously squinted eyes slowly opened a crack as he spoke in a deep voice.

"A battle of demigods has taken place in Kyoto!"

After learning about the situation in Kyoto, Natsumi Yoshiyuki had previously dispatched specialized surveyors from within the foundation to assess the extent of the damage.

Finally, this answer was reached.

"A true battle of demigods."

"That was a battle below the level of gods, above the pinnacle of A-rank!"

As Xia Riyuanliu thought about it, on the way here, that person returned via teleportation and manifested the destructive power of the sword that cleaved the mountain through his supernatural abilities.

What immense power that is!

That was a power extremely close to that of a god, but fortunately, there was only that one sword strike.

Xia Yuanliu guessed that the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain must have exhausted all his strength and was seriously injured after that sword strike.

Facing Kujou Shinobu, he continued to explain in detail.

"In Kyoto."

"The Lord of Xiahuo Mountain and a strange ancient god at the peak of Nightmare level engaged in battle."

"The Strange Old God was created and fused by the leader of the Blissful Truth Cult, and its power level has definitely reached above the peak of A-level."

"But the lord of Xiahuo Mountain killed that ancient god!"

"However, the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain and the power of the Old Gods are ultimately at the same stage, and he will surely be seriously injured. I want you to join me in this effort, and have our financial groups dig deep into the ground to find the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain!"

However, what Xia Yuanliu didn't know was...

When Kujou Shinobu heard about the fusion of the Old God and the leader of the Pure Land School, reaching a level above the peak of A-rank, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The leader of the Pure Land Truth Cult...
