I don't want to be a heroic spirit

It was like being in a chaotic ocean, unable to see or hear anything.

Since there is no matter, there is naturally no sound or light.

Since there is no physical body, there are naturally no eyes to see light and ears to hear sound.

After confirming that he had entered the Imagination Tree, Abe Haruaki's next task was to find the will of the Imagination Tree and then devour it with his own soul to replace it.

"Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait!"

Although there is no air, sound can be transmitted.

Like a vengeful beast licking its wounds, it roared in the filthy darkness, devouring hatred and anger until it released its own malice to engulf every corner of the world.

"Ashiya Doman... Nura Rikuo... The monsters who rebel against me, the humans who disobey me, all of them...!"

"Kill them, slay them, wipe them out, torture them, massacre them, slaughter them, and execute them..."

Just as Abe Yoshihei thought, his father Abe Haruaki had already been distorted.

For him now, the desire to destroy everything even surpasses the desire to reshape an ideal world.

The distant place that his gaze was looking at had changed from creating a paradise where yin and yang were in perfect harmony and there was no pain, to destroying all life on earth, including Ashiya Michiman, Nura Rikuo and others.

"So pathetic, so ridiculous, this look of a wicked beast crawling on the ground, drenched in the mud of malice, is exactly what I want to see you most... just like the monk I once was."

"!!!"

Panic, horror, surprise, astonishment...

All kinds of emotions surged in Abe Haruaki's heart.

In this realm of consciousness, a second person's voice was heard... a voice that did not belong to Abe Haruaki.

That voice was so familiar and unforgettable to Abe Haruaki... After all, the other party had destroyed his perfect plan and great dream not long ago, and degraded him to be as worthless as a dead dog on the ground.

"Ashiya Domitsu——?!"

Like a wild beast roaring, Abe Haruaki roared hoarsely: "Why are you here?!!"

But then, Abe Haruaki seemed to have figured something out and smiled triumphantly again.

"Never mind, I don't care how you got in... But! You did something stupid! This is the interior of the Imagination Tree, which is under my control. It can be said to be my world! My kingdom of God! Since you followed me in here, then die!"

With the help of the connection with the Illusion Tree, Abe Haruaki began to mobilize the remaining power in the Illusion Tree, intending to completely wipe out Ashiya Doman in this space.

“Wuwu…Hehehe…Hahahahahahahaha!!”

Mocking laughter came from all directions, echoing in every corner, surrounding Abe Haruaki.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Ugh, I lost my composure a little bit because of your ugly behavior, Qingming. This stupidity of still not being able to see the situation clearly even when you've reached the end of the cliff is really... too ridiculous!"

For some reason, Abe Haruaki felt a strong sense of unease.

"But, this is wrong... Ugh, this is not the right attitude to have towards a great benefactor. I need to reflect on this."

"I have to thank you, Abe no Haruaki, from the bottom of my heart..."

The flower watered by malice bloomed in the depths of darkness, and Ashiya Doman's voice rang out again, "Because of your innocence and your stupidity, my tree of fantasy—the Mandala of Hell! Finally! At this very moment! It has blossomed and borne fruit!"

It was like thunder exploding overhead.

Although he had already given up his physical body, Abe Haruaki still felt a tingling sense of anxiety and panic.

"You mean...your fantasy tree?"

"Yes! This is my imaginary tree—the Hell Mandala. This is the vessel for the deity to descend into the world, created by me to welcome the deity that belongs only to me."

Like a victor making a triumphant declaration on the stage, Ashiya Doman spoke eloquently, "After all, I failed once before, so I wanted someone else to do it for me... So, I set my sights on you, Ashiya Doman's greatest rival—Abe Haruaki. If you were me, you would surely be able to successfully mature this fantasy tree... And you have certainly lived up to my expectations."

Although he could only hear Ashiya Doman's voice and couldn't even identify the source of the voice, Abe Haruaki could imagine Ashiya Doman's evil smile full of sarcasm.

"After all, I haven't done evil for many years. Now I am a good man who has turned over a new leaf and turned over a new leaf. I am a righteous man. If I do evil things casually, I will be punished by heaven. I only need to experience being split in half once."

"You thought the one who defeated you before was my true self, right? Wrong! All the Ashiya Domans out there are my Shikigami. Ever since this Illusionary Tree was created, my true form has always been within it. The fact that you're able to control it so smoothly isn't because of your affinity with it, it's all because of me!"

When these words were finished, Abe Haruaki clearly felt that... his connection with the Imagination Tree had been severed.

This is the most unshakable evidence... From beginning to end, he, Abe Haruaki, has always been like a chess piece, always in the chess game set up by Ashiya Doman.

Ashiya Doman...the Onmyoji whom he had always looked down upon, had become so terrifying in these thousand years.

The terrifying plan, the terrifying strength, the terrifying mentality, the terrifying malice...all made Abe Haruaki feel despair.

In the end, Abe Haruaki only saw a hand pressing down on him.

"To thank you for your sacrifice for my fantasy tree, and for your active performance on the stage I designed, I told you the script before everything ended. Now, give me everything you have, and fall into eternal despair with the truth I have given you."

Afterwards, Abe Haruaki's consciousness was thrown into an even deeper and darker abyss... and completely became the nourishment of the fantasy tree.

Inside the fantasy tree, a figure stood quietly.

His eyes were like polished obsidian, and there was always a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. His whole body was covered with an ominous black hunting robe.

He is Ashiya Doman, but... he looks different from the Ashiya Doman outside.

He has delicate facial features that are difficult to distinguish between male and female, a slender body without a trace of muscle, and a height of less than 1.5 meters.

It probably looks like this↓

"Mmmmm... Fortunately, that fellow Qingming didn't see me like this. Although he's nowhere near the Qingming I know, I still can't accept it."

Ashiya Michiman frowned slightly, deeply troubled by his lack of intimidation... This was also partly the reason why he chose to stay in this fantasy tree and not go out, and only let the Shikigami move around outside.

Speaking of why He became like this...

At that time, He had just come into this world.

“Mmm… Mmm… Mmm! This is it! This is it! The spiritual base that will fuse with the Master this time is actually mine? What an honor! What a joy!”

[Bi Zhi Feng Huang Yu] was delighted because he finally became a man... although the gender filled in on this person's profile was unknown.

[Ashiya Michiman] was delighted because he got the chance to spend some time alone with his Master, and no one else in Chaldea could disturb them. In other words... no matter what bad things he did to his Master, the people in Chaldea could not stop him.

"Such a rare opportunity... I might as well dye my Master completely black! Dye him the same color as mine, like the black sun hanging high in the sky, sneering at the creatures on earth! Then let those Heroic Spirit Servants of Chaldea admire my masterpiece. What kind of expressions will they show when they see my Master dyed black by me? Uh-huh... Uh-huh-huh-huh! I'm very excited!"

Then, just as [Ashiya Doman] began to devise various sinister plans to dye [His Phoenix Feather] black... a ray of light suddenly appeared in Ashiya Doman's body.

“Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?! This, this is… the technique of Lord Kiichi Hōgan? When was it instilled into the Master’s soul? Wait… Not good, not good, not good, not good! Aa ...

The milky white light gradually enveloped Ashiya Doman's figure, and the screams of Ashiya Doman coming from inside gradually changed from the original roughness to softness.

568

Chapter 568: Damn Ghost Eye! Don’t think you’ve won just like that!

He had fused the spiritual base of Gui Yi Fa Yan in the world of Genshin Impact.

Kiichi Hogen is Ushiwakamaru's master, the Great Tengu of Kurama Mountain, and also a great Onmyoji in the late Heian period. Therefore, Kiichi Hogen is also proficient in Onmyoji.

Ashiya Doman and Kiichi Hōgen are old acquaintances, as can be seen from their conversation in Chaldea.

Perhaps he had anticipated this day, anticipated that Ashiya Doman would do bad things after lending his spiritual base to the Master, so Guiyi Fayan had already predicted that Ashiya Doman would do bad things after lending his spiritual base to the Master.

There are two conditions for triggering the technique. One is that [That Phoenix Feather] has merged with Ashiya Doman's spiritual base, and the other is that [Ashiya Doman] intends to do something bad to [That Phoenix Feather].

In other words, this is the technique used against Ashiya Doman. It can be seen how much Guiyi Hōgan distrusts Ashiya Doman.

The effect of the technique is also twofold. The first one is obvious, which is to turn Ashiya Doman into a child. The second one is that Ashiya Doman cannot do anything that goes against the will of [His Phoenix Feather] or overly affects [His Phoenix Feather].

I don’t know if she is a little loli or a little shota, after all, the servant Ashiya Doman has no gender... But she is really cute.

Big, shiny gray-black eyes, pointed little canine teeth, and a soft and sticky voice like marshmallows.

Although the child turned gray as if he had suffered a major blow, he was still very cute.

"Damn it... Such a short and weak body, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu!"

What's even more embarrassing is that only Ashiya Doman's body became smaller, and his clothes did not become smaller, so when Ashiya Doman raised his hand, he could only see the hanging sleeves but not his own hands.

Naturally, Ashiya Doman wanted to remove the technique cast on him by Kiichi Hōgan, but he got a result that surprised him.

"This... doesn't affect me, but directly affects my spiritual base?"

To put it simply, the one who was actually turned into a child was not Ashiya Doman, but the owner of the spiritual base... the real Ashiya Doman who is currently in Chaldea.

He was only affected by the spiritual base and was implicated, but was not the main target of the technique.

Traveling through multiple worlds has proven that after fusing with the spirit base of a Heroic Servant, he will also be affected by the spirit base, becoming the appearance of the spirit base's owner, and his personality will also be closer to that of the spirit base's owner.

Therefore, after the real Ashiya Doman in Chaldea was turned into a child, his "original appearance" also became what it is today. It was not a simple "disguise" or "change."

If it was the real Ashiya Doman of Chaldea, it should take some time to transform back. After all, in terms of Yin-Yang magic, Ashiya Doman and Kiichi Phogan are actually not far apart, but...

"Since the spell has been triggered, it means that Ashiya Michimitsu's intention to do something bad to 'me' has been exposed... uh uh uh uh uh uh... Could he be being attacked and hunted by the various Heroic Spirit Servants of Chaldea right now?"

Imagine if Morgan, Yaolan, Minamoto no Raikou, Beast Nero, Tiamat, Rock King, Black Jeanne, Ereshkigal, and other Heroic Spirit Servants who hold Master in high regard learned that Ashiya Michimitsu was planning to harm Master and wanted to transform Master into the same color and shape as themselves...

His Phoenix Feather: Will Ashiya Doman win?

Ashiya Michiman: I guarantee you’ll die, okay?

"Emmmm..."

Ashiya Doman crossed his arms over his chest, and after a moment of contemplation, a strangely amused smile appeared on his lips. "Happy! It's a pity that I can't appreciate Ashiya Doman's embarrassment up close."

This is the Phoenix Feather that has been fused with the spiritual essence of Ashiya Doman. Even the real Ashiya Doman would look upon it as an object of ridicule.

To sum up... he may not be able to change back for the time being. After all, Ashiya Doman, who is in Chaldea, is probably in a difficult situation now. With so many monsters in Chaldea, if they really want to kill him, Ashiya Doman will basically be dead. How can he have the leisure to analyze the technique of Guiyi Hōgan?

Of course, it doesn't matter if he can't change back. As a great Onmyoji, Ashiya Doman, who is proficient in various Onmyoji techniques, believes that he definitely has a technique suitable for dealing with the current situation.

Since your "real face" is not suitable for meeting people, why not just put on a mask and disguise yourself?

So, Ashiya Doman used a technique to change his appearance... but the effect was not very ideal.

The technique left by Kiichi Hōgan also has an inhibitory effect on transformation-type techniques, making it impossible for Ashiya Doman to transform freely.

The original Ashiya Doman was two meters tall, with a body of terrifying muscles that always seemed like he could compete with Sakata Kintoki. However, even though the current Ashiya Doman used a technique to change his appearance, his height can only reach a little over 1.6 meters. His body is as slender as a woman, and his facial features are so delicate that he can attract both men and women.

I seriously suspect that it's just the bad taste of Guiyi Fayan... After all, Guiyi Fayan originally didn't have a gender, but when he appeared in Chaldea, he appeared as a female.

If the Ashiya Doman just now was too young to tell whether he was a man or a woman, then the current Ashiya Doman looks a bit like a weak girl... Of course, the current Ashiya Doman has no gender at all.

"If my level could be raised a bit, my spells would be more effective..."

As he said this, Ashiya Doman glanced at the eye-catching number "1" behind the level column.

"Even if it's to protect myself, I need to level up and perform a few Spiritual Rebirths... Luckily, Chaldea's backpack is still usable. I still have supplies of things like Wise Inferno, Fierce Fire, and Great Fire. As for Spiritual Rebirths... Speaking of which, what materials does Ashiya Doman need for Spiritual Rebirths?"

"Magician Silver Chess, Assassin Silver Chess, Magician Gold Chess, Assassin Gold Chess... Since they've all been upgraded, let's upgrade their skills too. Rainbow Thread Orb, Barbarian God Heart, Brilliant Star Fragment, Ghost Flame Ghost Lantern, and so many quantum items it's heartbreaking..."

The level doesn't need to be too high, level 90 is enough. After all, upgrading further requires the Holy Grail. It's not that he is short of the Holy Grail. Even a dragon girl can pick up one while walking. He has no shortage of the Holy Grail, okay?

But... the greatest function of the Holy Grail is the magical power that is huge enough to distort reality. After all, the stats of the Heroic Spirit Servant are directly linked to the magical power of the Master. This is why Shirou Emiya's Saber looks so weak. However, Doman Ashiya, who has EX-level magical power, has no shortage of magical power at all.

When he reached about level 40, Ashiya Doman suddenly stopped eating the fire seeds and looked in one direction as if he sensed something.

"Hmm? Hmm... What's this feeling? It's as if something is attracting me. Is it fine wine? Sweet rain?"

His eyes, like polished obsidian, narrowed slightly, and Ashiya Doman grinned, revealing a small fang.

"It seems like something interesting is about to happen. I don't want to miss it. I want to go see it, and then... make a big deal out of it!"

The nature of the fun-loving person cannot be curbed.

Yes, [Bizhi Fenghuangyu] also has the nature of a fun-loving person. As long as he ensures that no harm is caused to innocent people and the world, he doesn't mind doing some pranks, such as... planting a fantasy tree or something.

Feeling that something pleasant was about to happen, Ashiya Doman immediately decided to go there, and then he took a big step... and stepped on his own clothes.

The only one who was made smaller by the technique of Kiichi Phayan was Ashiya Doman. His clothes were not reduced in size. Even for a muscular man of two meters in height, the clothes looked loose, not to mention him as a child. His clothes were dragged on the ground.

But Ashiya Doman forgot this and took a step forward with a proud and confident look... and then he was tripped by his own clothes.

"Meow--!"

With a "bang" and a somewhat cute scream, Ashiya Michiman fell heavily on the concrete floor, landing on his face first.

After a long while, Ashiya Doman finally sat up with a trembling body, covering his slightly red nose with his hands. His two wide-open gray-black eyes were watery. He maintained a duck-like sitting posture, pursed his lips and tried hard not to make any sound.

"Damn it... Damn you, Oni-Hougan! Don't think you can win just like that--!!"

Realizing that not only his appearance but also his personality was affected, Ashiya Doman made up his mind not to appear in front of others in such a shameful manner, so he only sent Shikigami to interact with people, while he stayed in a deserted corner to consume the seeds of fire and level up.

And after that, the Shikigami sent by Ashiya Doman saw Nura Rikuo and Oikawa Hirayoshi who were being hunted, and Ashiya Doman then knew which world they had arrived in this time.

Realizing that this is the world of "Nura: Rise of the Demon", Doman Ashiya immediately sets his sights on that bastard Abe Haruaki.
