Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Chapter 75: Weaponizing the Historical Transition Period

Orpheus squinted his lovely and clear dragon eyes and was sipping the strawberry-flavored marshmallow in his hand.

She was wearing an exquisite and beautiful Lolita-style long dress, sitting next to Xixiang, wrapped in plaid stockings, and her pair of jade feet in sandals were swaying gently, showing her inner joy.

Orpheus has a delicate and lovely face, like a fashionable doll, but she always likes to keep her eyes down, which makes her look gloomy and cold, giving people a sense of alienation and inaccessibility.

Saigo smiled as he watched Orpheus eating cotton candy. When he saw another vendor coming over, he waved to him and bought another bottle of orange-flavored juice.

Saigo handed over the juice and Ophis took it without hesitation.

The Infinite Dragon God was seen holding a marshmallow in her right hand and juice in her left hand. She took a bite of the candy and drank a sip of the juice, feeling the sweetness fermenting in her taste buds, which made her squint her eyes with joy.

Xixiang was amused when he saw this. This dragon god was really easy to feed. If anyone was stimulated by her cold appearance and dared not approach her, then they were really deceived by her.

Orpheus likes cheap juice and expensive cakes. For Orpheus, as long as it can satisfy her appetite, she will accept anything.

"That human is so evil that he actually wanted to deceive me. According to what you said, I know he just wanted to deceive me of my power."

"I won't be fooled. I won't believe his little tricks."

Orpheus said proudly, feeling very happy about his own cleverness.

Seeing this, Saigo nodded secretly. It seemed that his thousand years of teaching were still useful. Orpheus herself was not stupid, she just lacked common sense.

As she comes into contact with more people from the human world and the underworld, she will naturally understand the ways of the world better and will no longer be easily deceived by other people's words.

This is also the cuteness of this dragon, innocent and naive.

"You didn't come to me from the dimensional gap just to show me that you weren't deceived, did you?"

"Or have you been bullied by the Great Red again, and you want me to help you get revenge?"

Saigo said with amusement, he touched Orpheus's slightly chubby little cheek with his finger, feeling her skin as smooth as jade and cold to the bone.

"Am I the kind of person who would come to you for such a small matter?"

Orpheus puffed up his little face angrily, like an angry pufferfish, and looked at Saigo with his drooping, rather weird, cold pupils, and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Who was it that cried and made a scene in front of me four hundred years ago, asking me to help her drive the Great Red out of the dimensional gap?"

"By the way, Ophis, you are not a human either, you are just a dragon."

Hearing Saigo's laughter, Orpheus frowned slightly: "...I always feel like you are scolding me again."

"Yes, Orpheus, you have finally become smart and understand the hidden meaning in my words. You no longer think I am just saying the literal meaning like before."

Saigo laughed, earning a snort from Orpheus.

"I don't need you anymore. The red guy will run away when he sees me!"

Orpheus waved her hand happily, her slender legs stretched straight, and she said happily.

Of course she will run away when she sees you, because she knows that I am your backer.

Saigo complained in his heart.

The Great Red dragon was no fool. He knew that even if he defeated Orpheus, he couldn't drive her out of the dimensional gap. After fighting for a long time, he still got nothing.

In this situation, if she was still willing to argue with Orpheus, that would be a problem.

Moreover, as a dragon god who has lived for who knows how many years, Great Red is inherently lazy and just wanders in the cracks of dimensions all day long.

Facing Orpheus who always causes trouble for her, she would of course try to hide as far away from him as possible. No one wants to fight a battle that cannot be won.

At this time, Ophis suddenly looked serious and said to Saigo: "...I sensed a familiar aura from the human who deceived me."

"A familiar scent?"

Saigo looked at Ophis, whose face was tense, and for a moment he was confused about what she meant.

"It was the aura that suddenly appeared and attacked the two of you when you were fighting the God of the Bible."

"I sensed the same smell on that human. Well, it was the smell that seemed to destroy everything."

Orpheus tried hard to think of the few words he had, and explained to Saigo with gestures.

However, the first sentence Orpheus said let Saigo know who he was talking about.

"Shiva..."

Saigo's expression darkened slightly, he narrowed his eyes, folded his hands together, and thought about Orpheus' words.

As expected, as the incarnation of two digits, Shiva is not someone who can be sealed so easily, and He will not allow Himself to remain sealed forever.

It seems that as time goes by, the seal of the God of the Bible has loosened, and the power of Shiva is beginning to try to influence the outside world.

Even though the number of the master's incarnations is only in the four digits, the aura that can penetrate the seal is probably not much, but it should not be underestimated.

Saigo was not afraid of Him.

If we only talk about strength, as long as Shiva's true two-digit body does not descend, no matter whether He is a three-digit incarnation or a four-digit incarnation, Saigo has enough ways to deal with it.

However, Shiva's purpose was never to kill Saigo. His purpose was to prevent Saigo from completing the final step of advancing to the two-digit level.

As long as he succeeds, Saigo will lose his future and will no longer be qualified to participate in the major events in the box garden.

'If I were Shiva, how would I try to destroy this world while still being sealed?'

Saigo put himself in Shiva's shoes and began to consider what he could do from Shiva's perspective, and roughly guessed some of Shiva's thoughts.

Because Shiva came to this world ten thousand years earlier than him, he should have made some advance arrangements for this world.

However, most of those arrangements were destroyed by the God of the Bible, so there shouldn’t be much left.

This is Shiva's advantage, and the great impact His early arrival in this world has on the world.

But Saigo also has his own advantages, that is, during the thousand years that Shiva was sealed, Shiva's power could no longer affect the history of this world.

Saigo has used this thousand years to completely sort out all the chaotic history that was confused by Shiva, thus giving himself the upper hand.

This is the battle between Saigo and Shiva, which is never a face-to-face fight.

The battle between the two is in the past, in the present, and in the future.

They are all influencing the historical development and process of this world through their own methods, thereby creating turning points in history through their layout.

Even if it is just a slight historical transition period, it is enough to make the other party lose its foresight into the future and thus completely destroy it.

The important concept of the box garden during the historical transition period is that it is an important opportunity for mortals to become gods.

And for beings like Saigo and Shiva, periods of historical transition can be used as powerful weapons.

"Ok?"

Just as Saigo was thinking, he suddenly sensed many auras rushing towards here.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "...It's really lively today. This is also a good opportunity for Akeno."

Chapter 76 The Hunted Nine-Tailed Fox

In the snow-covered city, a huge nine-tailed fox was running quickly.

This huge fox, which is almost like a monster, has beautiful golden hair and nine tails that move with the wind. Every time it runs, it will stir up a violent blizzard, blowing the surrounding houses to pieces.

However, people in the city turned a blind eye to this fox which was obviously contrary to common sense, or it could be said that ordinary humans simply could not see the true appearance of this fox.

They just thought there was a rare big snowstorm here and complained about the sudden change in weather.

Not far from the fox, dozens of Onmyojis and gods wearing divine robes, wearing conical hats, and holding magical instruments in their hands were chasing the fox.

These Onmyojis and gods are members of the five major families of Shintoism in the island country, headed by Himejima. Led by the top leaders of their respective families, they are besieging the nine-tailed fox.

"Master, this nine-tailed fox born and raised in Kyoto has the ability to control the weather."

"If we kill her here, won't Kyoto lose its harmony with the wind and rain?"

A young god, following the current head of the Himejima family, Himejima Zhuhuang, asked cautiously.

Although the name of Himejima Zhuhuang sounds like a woman, he is actually a man in his forties and the older brother of Himejima Zhuno's mother.

At the same time, he was also the culprit who forced the death of Himejima Akeno's mother, who was also his sister.

The head of the family had an indifferent expression. He looked at the huge nine-tailed fox in front of him, then glanced at the young man beside him and whispered:

"Demons are just demons. Don't believe they will really do anything good for humans."

"Even without this fox, we Shintoists have our own way to reconcile Kyoto's environment and weather."

"This fox is very powerful. We have been unable to take action in the past, so we were just pretending to be nice to it. Now is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years."

"She got herself pregnant in order to reproduce, and most of her strength was transformed into her child. If we don't take this opportunity to eradicate her, we will never have another chance in the future."

"Don't have any mercy on her. You have to remember that these monsters cannot be trusted."

The young god wanted to say something but hesitated, but under the cold gaze of the patriarch, he finally shut up.

After all, young people are still young and have their own blood. He thinks that chasing a pregnant woman is a shameful thing.

In particular, this nine-tailed fox has not committed any crime in the past thousand years, and she has even protected Kyoto for a thousand years.

As a result, even during the darkest period of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Kyoto did not suffer too many human casualties.

To humans, this nine-tailed fox is a savior, but now she is being hunted by Shintoism.

Although the young man did not fully understand the filthiness of the adults, he also knew that this was actually a method that the head of the family should not use.

Because the head of the family's sister gave birth to a child with a fallen angel, polluting the family's bloodline, the Himejima family was attacked by the other four major families.

As the head of the five major families, other families also want to get this position.

That's why Himejima Zhuhuang made the decision to surround and kill the nine-tailed fox, in order to use it as his own achievement and consolidate his and the Himejima family's position in the island country.

"There is already a barrier set up by the Yin-Yang Master ahead. The fox has nowhere to escape. Everyone, get ready〃ˇ."

At this time, Himejima Zhuhuang saw the nine-tailed fox running towards the ambush place he had set. His expression lit up with joy, and he whispered orders to the Onmyoji and the gods who were driving the nine-tailed fox beside him.

"Yes, Himejima-sama!"

……

Yasaka looked angry and aggrieved. As one of the highest-level monsters in the island country, she had a kind nature and had never done anything harmful.

She even believed that monsters and humans could coexist peacefully, just like many gods in Shintoism, who are actually monsters themselves.

Therefore, after gaining power and gathering a group of monsters, she occupied Kyoto as king, protecting the monsters and humans under her.

She ensured that the ancient capital of Kyoto had not been invaded by foreign enemies for thousands of years and had good weather. Even in the darkest era of human rule, the people of Kyoto did not starve to death.

Because Yasaka is very powerful and is the highest level monster.

Those Onmyojis and gods had always been polite to her, and there were even Onmyojis among the people that Yasaka protected.

It was as if these extraordinary humans had already recognized her identity and confirmed her position as the King of Kyoto, and it had been like this for nearly a thousand years.

But who would have thought that not long ago, at the critical moment when Yasaka used all her demonic power to conceive offspring in order to allow her race to reproduce, those Onmyojis and gods suddenly attacked her.

Yasaka, who was pregnant, was seriously injured. She did not dare to resist at all, especially when facing the pursuit of Onmyoji and gods from all over the island. She didn't even dare to stay in Kyoto for long.

Otherwise, the monsters under his command would definitely be slaughtered.

Yasaka had to leave Kyoto, which she had guarded for a thousand years, and fled all the way to the northern border of the island country, into this land of ice and snow.

Her hatred for those Onmyojis and the gods is so deep-rooted that it cannot be washed away even if all the water in the Kamo River is poured out.

Yasaka was in such a panic along the way that she had no idea where she was.

Until huge barriers rose from all directions, and countless talismans were stained on the barriers, completely blocking all her escape routes.

Only then did Yasaka realize that she had accidentally fallen into the enemy's trap.

She looked around and found that this was actually an amusement park. The humans in the park were unconsciously leaving the barrier. This was the effect of a talisman to drive away humans.

Although the head of the Himejima family, Himejima Zhuhuang, is cruel and ruthless, he even persecutes his own sister.

But he was not crazy enough to sacrifice a large number of humans in order to kill a nine-tailed fox. That would make him lose his righteousness and he would be unable to move forward in the future.

Even the Shinto gods he believes in will not let him go. After all, gods also need faith.

Therefore, during the process of encircling and suppressing the Nine-tailed Fox, he was also prepared to evacuate ordinary people.

When the barrier rose and the spell to drive away the humans was created, Rias and Himejima Akeno were the first to notice it.

The two girls looked alert, their hands clasped together, and watched helplessly as a giant nine-tailed fox broke into the amusement park.
