I loaded the geek game

The Killing Pillar walked to the center of the ancient city of Songshan.

Here, there is a huge sphere silently suspended in a thick miasma of light.

The surface of the ball is full of pits and holes of all sizes, but the giant ball gives people a visual feeling of being as smooth as jade and emitting a faint light.

This is the "Big Bright Moon".

A sacred object that allows the raccoon and fox tribes to communicate with the Moon Palace.

"I have confidence that my arrangements in Iyo are ingenious enough to be difficult to detect. But if the people of Takamagahara completely take over Iyo...how long will it take them to notice?"

The Killing Pillar stared at the bright moon for a long time, and seemed to have finally made some kind of decision.

It can't be delayed any longer.

There is only one chance, and it is now.

If he waits until the people of Takama-ga-hara start to control Iyo, everything in Matsuyama Castle will sooner or later be out of his control.

"After all, there is no conflict between what Mr. Kamiya and I want, right?"

The Killing Pillar never does anything that has absolutely no chance of winning.

In his opinion, even under the current situation, his plan still has the possibility of being implemented.

This fox demon is very smart and good at guessing people's minds.

Through his contact with Kamiya River in the Palace of the Cat, he could see more than Yaoba Li——

That Lord Kamiya offered to help build Iyo.

What is his purpose?

Is it purely out of kindness, purely to compensate for the mistakes that Inao Heitaro made in the past?

No, not possible.

There must be something that Lord Kamiya wants in Iyo.

Thinking about it this way, what Takama-ga-hara wants is only the resources in Iyo.

The Iyo region, especially Matsuyama, has a rich resource of untapped materials.

The Killing Pillar is very clear about this.

He would want those things, too, if he could.

However, the fox clan controlled by him does not have the same strong capital and technical strength as the Takama-ga-hara forces.

It is definitely not as good as Takamagahara in terms of resource development.

So, if Lord Kamiya wants Iyo's resources, then give them to him.

The Killing Pillar was happy to offer the entire piece of Iyo with both hands.

As for what he wanted——

All he wanted was the lives of all the foxes and raccoons in the Iyo area.

"The miasma power contained in the Killing Stone is hidden in the gift furniture for marriage proposals and has been delivered to all the leaders of the raccoon tribe. Thanks to the help of that idiot Dangoro, this step can be carried out so smoothly."

"Although it's still a little rushed, my ceremony can indeed proceed."

"Using the Great Bright Moon to guide the 'killing' power of the Killing Stone, I can affect and kill only the raccoons and foxes that have the habit of 'worshiping the moon'."

The Killing Pillar has spent so much time preparing for the ceremony of advancement to "Sky Fox", and it must consume a large amount of souls as a price.

It was different from the "flesh, spirit, and bone" method of becoming a god that Kamiya Kawa was familiar with, but it was generally a more evil "deviated tune" -

That is to use the assistance of the two treasures, the Big Bright Moon and the Killing Stone, to gather a large number of "spirits" in a short period of time, and forcibly promote the Killing Pillar from a "Sky Fox" to an "Air Fox".

Tamamonomae once approached Emperor Toba and also planned to take this path to becoming a god.

However, Tamamonomae wanted to start a war in order to obtain more human souls.

It’s a pity that the plan was eventually discovered by Abe Yasuhiro and failed.

The best souls that can help the "Sky Fox" break through are naturally the fox demons themselves. In addition, the raccoon demons that are very similar to fox demons are also very suitable. The raccoon foxes are quite spiritual, innately able to transform, and wise. They are all excellent sacrifices and have a very good affinity with the Killing Pillar.

In Iyo, the fact that the souls of raccoons and foxes could condense into a wild god like Nirudo speaks volumes.

The Killing Pillar only needs the lives of tens of thousands of tanuki foxes in Iyo.

Of course, the most powerful raccoon cat, Babaibali, must be sacrificed.

The Killing Pillar will step on the corpses of its fellow creatures, ascend into the sky as a fox, and become a god, thus accomplishing an achievement that even Tamamonomae has not achieved.

So, think carefully, does this plan conflict with what Kamiya Kawa wants to achieve?
Killing Pillar thinks otherwise.

Would Lord Kamiya care about the life and death of the local raccoon foxes in Iyo?
maybe.

But I definitely don’t care that much.

Especially now, when the Iyo territory has not yet been controlled by the Takama-ga-hara forces, those raccoon foxes are still outsiders to Takama-ga-hara.

"Kill the raccoon fox here and become a hollow fox. Then, I will swear allegiance to that Lord Kamiya."

The Killing Pillar made up his mind.

If the ceremony continues, the matter will be settled by then.

The entire Iyo area still belongs to Takama-ga-hara, and will even be completely controlled and utilized by Takama-ga-hara at a faster rate.

As for the Killing Pillar himself, he will apologize to Kamiya River and submit.

In this way, the only ones sacrificed were the raccoon demon and fox demon of Iyo.

Use the lives of these low-level monsters that have no close connection with Takama-ga-hara in exchange for the loyalty of a true god.

Even for Lord Kamiya, this is a very good deal, isn't it?

Win-win.

The Killing Pillar has always been smart and cunning, and he has seen through a lot.

You know, even the Lord of Takama-ga-hara himself is not a god.

They will need a Sky Fox God to join them.

What reason is there to refuse?

Even though he had decided to join Takamagahara, the Sesshōhashi did not want to join as a wild god. He was just a wild god, not worth mentioning to Lord Kamiya, and not worth looking up to.

He wanted a higher position, more power.

Even if I have to be a dog in Takama-ga-hara, I have to be the most majestic one.

Therefore, it is good to join as a god.

This fox has always had great ambitions.

"Then, let's get started."

……

"Ababa! Woo-woo-woo!"

Kamiya River was speeding through the mountains and forests, and had no time to pay attention to the raccoon and fox tribes that were going crazy and suffering along the way.

The little old man grabbed his master's shoulders, with most of his body suspended in the air, but he did not forget to report the intelligence of his subordinates in various places to his master.

Now, Kanihime has arrived in Iyo with the samurai crabs and the demon soldiers on the Kisaragi train.

There was good news coming from the Golden Bear.

After Princess Fu Ji, the civet cat, arrived at Ciji Hospital, her condition improved with the emergency treatment of the foot-selling grandmother.

This shows that after leaving Iyu, the raccoons and foxes can indeed escape the influence of the giant moon in the sky to a certain extent.

"Very good. Let others assist Kanihime and send as many raccoon foxes in Iyo as possible to Inunaki Pass. Oh, and gather them all in Inunakidani Village, which has no corresponding area in reality. Then notify Usagi and Kishimo to bring some people to temporarily guard the Inunaki Tunnel to scare the raccoon foxes and prevent the raccoon foxes from going crazy and coming to the human world."

Kamiya calmly issued orders and further dispatched personnel.

Ever since Kishimo "voluntarily" provided a large part of her divinity to Prajna to build a shrine, she has been placed in the Sanzu River and received the careful care of Takama-ga-hara.

Now the situation has improved.

Although his strength has declined a lot compared to before, he can now only be regarded as a weaker wild god.

But after all, he is an employee who is already able to participate in the work and has been well trained.

With the cooperation of other staff, it would not be a problem to arrange some simple work for her initially.

Kamiya Gawa is good at telling strange stories. Under his leadership, everyone can work hard and shine in their suitable positions.

At this time, there were still two moons in the sky over the Iyo region.

The oppressive giant moon hung in the sky, while the normal moon had a strange sense of fragmentation, like a companion star, hanging weakly beside the giant moon.

Bathed in the moonlight as pale as a blade, I quickly passed through the purple mist that filled the air.

Kamiya Kawa didn't feel anything unusual at all.

Even the little old man was in normal condition.

Now it can be confirmed that whether it is the moon or the light miasma, it seems that they have no actual impact on ghost stories other than raccoons and foxes.

"It's only for tanuki and foxes. If what's happening here is really related to Kitsune Jushiro, then what he's doing is a bit like a sacrifice."

Kamiyagawa made such a judgment.

But even if I only target the raccoons, it won’t work. These are the labor force I’m interested in!

Good boy, although I didn’t attack Takama-ga-hara directly, you will suffer the consequences if you dare to interfere with my industrialization process!
Because he already had the physique of a wild god, Shengu's running speed was incredibly fast. When he approached the ruins under the guidance of the scouts, he remained calm and didn't even breathe.

The situation here in the ruined ancient city is no longer the same as when the old man first started stalking it.

Powerful and chaotic auras of force blend and surge here.

Ordinary ghost stories can’t even get close to the surrounding areas, let alone enter the ancient city.

Because the outline of the target can be seen, and the source of the chaotic power can be clearly felt from deep in the ancient city.

Kamiyagawa asked the little old man to leave first.

He himself was not afraid of anything.

Anyway, the shrine in Iyo has been erected. If we rush directly to the source, we will definitely find Kitsune Jushiro.

After stepping into the ruins of the ancient city and going a certain distance deep, Shen Gu felt a familiar breath.

It was an atmosphere similar to that of the Live Fish Hotel, mixed in with the riot of energy in the ancient city.

"The Live Fish Inn, or the power of the Demon King's Mallet? There is also an unexpected gain. This place may be able to complete the Demon King's Mallet."

With this thought in mind, Kamiyagawa continued to go deeper.

The surrounding purple glowing fog gradually became thicker, and the surrounding space began to become messy and unpredictable. The vaguely shaped buildings kept moving, looming, shuttling between each other.

But this kind of place could not trap Kamiya. Instead, it felt as familiar as returning to the Live Fish Inn.

Like a fish in water.

With continuous leaps and bounds, Shen Gu soon arrived at the center of the ruined ancient city.

Here, deep in the thick miasma, he saw a very strange scene—

A pale stone ball that looked like a mini moon, with pits and craters and emitting a bright luster, was quietly suspended in the air, motionless, but seemed to echo the giant moon that appeared in the sky.

Surrounding the mini moon is a strange "meteorite ring".

Red stones of all sizes, with a rough surface full of pores, are attracted by the "moon" and float around it, forming a circle of red rings.

Purple light mist continued to spew out from the pores of the red gravel.

The light miasma that permeated most of Iyo should have been produced by these things.

After observing this strange stone structure that looked like a celestial body for a few seconds, Kamiyagawa sensed something. He raised his hand and pressed the handle of Dojikiri's knife, and his pupils condensed, shifting his gaze elsewhere.

"Come out."

As he finished his words, a figure emerged from the thick fog.

"Master Kamiya, you arrived much faster than I thought."

A fox demon.

He wore the same white robe as Fox Shiliulang, and his face was painted with gorgeous colors, making it difficult to tell his true appearance. His ears and tail were not white, but bright red. Compared to Fox Shiliulang, this fox demon gave people a more feminine and more weird feeling.

"Hiroshiro? Or should I call you something else?"

The moment he saw the fox demon, Kamiya Kawa began to understand what might be going on.

I was really tricked.

The "Fox Shiliulang" seen before did not seem to be the real Fox Shiliulang.

Just like the "Fukhime" seen in the Tanuki Palace is not the real Fukuhime.

Kamiya himself said that if he had not known that "Fukuji" had been replaced, even he would not have noticed the "Cat Substituted for a Princess" plot if he had been preconceived about it.

After all, Ahei, who replaced Fu Ji, was also a female raccoon.

The same applies to Fox Shiliulang.

"Killing Pillar, my name is Killing Pillar."

The Killing Pillar replied.

The light mist spewed out by the killing stones around him, together with the moonlight from the huge moon in the sky, cleansed and reshaped his body. His limbs and bones were being reborn, and he was reborn, making it difficult for him to maintain his changing appearance, and there was no need to do so.

"Let me think, if that huge ball that looks like the moon is the Big Bright Moon, then those red gravels, could they be the Killing Stones?"

"Haha, Lord Kamiya is as good as a god. That's right, the Killing Stone, I was born from it."

"You answer all the questions you know, that's a very good attitude." Kamiyagawa looked up and down at the fox demon opposite him, his tone was joking, but his right hand was still pressing the handle of the knife at his waist, "Then answer me directly. Sesshohatsu, what are you doing? No, what are you doing?"

"I was promoted to Sky Fox in order to gain the same power as the two gods under you, so that I can better serve you."

Kamiyagawa was a little surprised to hear this. It seemed that the Killing Pillar's plan was in a place that he had not expected.

So he continued to ask: "By killing the foxes and tanuki in Iyo?"

"Yes. They are just some low-level monsters. Even Yaoba Tanuki is just a stupid wild god. Lord Kamiya, after things here are over, Iyo will be completely under your control, and you will get the loyalty of a new god. Isn't that good?"

The Killing Pillar bowed towards Kamiyagawa, his tone quite sincere.

Even if one could discern his emotions, it seemed to only prove that what he said at the moment was not against his heart.

He means it.

"Haha." Kamiyagawa didn't seem to be angry, but laughed, "Are you negotiating with me?"

It’s really interesting.

The Killing Pillar wants to join Takamagahara as a god.

Very clever, this fox.

Too smart.

I guess he had roughly guessed the general situation of Takama-ga-hara.

Moreover, the bargaining chips he offered were indeed very tempting. Not only would the Iyo territory be brought under Takamagahara's control more quickly, but as for the fox and raccoon tribes as laborers, it seemed obvious which was more important compared to a brand new god.

"I dare not." The Killing Pillar still kept his head down.

"I think you are quite brave. You have already done it."

"Please give me a chance to make amends for my crime in the future, Lord Kamiya. I won't let you down. If you are worried about me, Lord Kamiya, I beg you to restrain me, no matter what form it takes, I am happy to accept it."

The Killing Pillar heard the slight annoyance in Kamiyagawa's tone.

But this was expected.

Lord Kamiya will definitely have opinions about what I did.

But that didn't stop him from accepting it.

In order to increase Kamiya's trust in himself, the Killing Pillar even volunteered to accept any form of control.

In his opinion, the Lord of Takama-ga-hara is not a god, but he can control gods freely, so he must have mastered the method to effectively control gods.

The Killing Pillar is very good at guessing people's minds.

He knew that Lord Kamiya was a smart man, and smart people put interests first.

He knew that everything Lord Kamiya did was for the benefit of Takamagahara.

And now the facts are here.

What I am doing is absolutely in the best interests of Takamagahara.

Next, as long as you become a Konghu and a god, you can further demonstrate your value.

Kamiyagawa had no reason to refuse such a proposal.

See it.

He seems to be thinking and weighing the pros and cons now.

It means he is moved.

Then, after a brief thought, Kamiya spoke again: "Session Pillar, let's put aside what you are doing now. I suddenly thought of a few questions."

"……You say."

The Killing Pillar suddenly realized that something was wrong with the current atmosphere.

The direction of the conversation did not seem to develop exactly as he expected.

If we don’t talk about what’s happening right now, what else can we talk about?
But it shouldn't.

There was nothing wrong with my proposal and he had no reason to refuse.

"You were born from the Killing Stone, and your transformation technique is very sophisticated. That is, you were born from Tamamonomae's legacy, which means that you didn't originally belong to the fox tribe of Shikoku. I was wondering at first why the Lord of Songshan, as a human, was so eager for the Great Moon... So, the Lord of Songshan who once attacked the raccoon tribe was actually you, right?"

When Kamiyagawa asks a question like this, the answers are just "yes" or "no".

Even if the Killing Pillar lies or keeps silent.

But through his emotional changes, Kamiya can also directly know the truth of this simple question.

"……Yes."

The Killing Pillar suddenly raised his head, but only met Kamiyagawa's deep and playful eyes.

No, that's not right.

What on earth is Kamiyagawa thinking?
He should be an ambitious and powerful leader!

Those trivial, harmless things should be...

"okay I know."

Clang.

Kamiyagawa used his thumb to push open the guard of Doujikiri's sword, and the blade came out of the sheath a little. The sound was clear, like spring water hitting rock.

The gorgeous feather weave was embedded in the night, and the intricate golden patterns rolled in the wind, reflecting the faint light.

The golden blade was completely unsheathed and raised high, lightly drawing a brilliant arc of light in the fog, and tearing and crushing the pale moonlight cast from the sky.

Kamiyagawa spoke again, the tip of his knife pointed directly at the Killing Pillar, speaking word by word.

The teasing in his eyes had been replaced by a stern murderous intent, and this time his tone did not sound like a simple question -

"You killed Inao, right?" (End of this chapter)
