Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 235 - 205: Numerous Blood Debts: A True God Descends, Swallowing All with One Qi (Part 2)

From within the golden flames burning in the Void, a giant hand covered in intricate Spells suddenly shot out, followed immediately by another.

The two hands, palms facing outward, suddenly spread apart.

It was as if a portal had been torn open in the Void. A massive figure, standing at least fifteen meters tall, stepped out from the gateway of condensed golden flame and appeared before everyone.

This towering figure was clad in dark red Japanese Armor of a ferocious design. A single horn jutted from its helmet, its body was covered in barbs, and a scorpion’s tail extended from its back. Two pure-white wings lay folded behind it.

The entire form incorporated key features of the Twelve Divine Forms. This was not limited to its physical shape; the armor itself was adorned with patterns depicting the traits of each of the twelve.

Dark halos swirled behind the armored giant’s head, and it held a massive, sheathed Tachi in one hand.

The giant’s face was obscured; only two motes of golden flame, flickering like candlelights, could be seen through the gaps in its armor.

FWOOSH!!

As this colossal Shikigami appeared, a bizarre, oppressive aura—terrifying, bloodthirsty, and malevolent, yet also strangely sacred—rippled outward. A fierce gale whipped up from nowhere, even causing the very phenomena in the Sky to shift.

The image reached the public through the cameras, instantly drawing gasps of astonishment.

"What... what in the world is that?! It’s absolutely breathtaking!!"

"What happened?! Were all Twelve Divine Forms absorbed?"

"Why? I... I feel this strange urge to worship it."

"It’s like I’m witnessing a deity in the flesh!"

"..."

Seeing this, the Japanese People felt a jolt run through them, their minds going blank.

The terrifying aura, combined with the sheer contrast against the surrounding architecture, was simply too awe-inspiring.

People today have seen countless scenes with special effects, but what CGI could possibly compare to the shock of witnessing something like this in reality?

The reaction of Muraoka Rui and the others at the scene was even more intense. The moment the aura washed over them, their knees buckled, and they nearly collapsed to the ground to prostrate themselves before the colossal Shikigami.

"Viewers at home! I can barely keep my legs from giving out. I feel an overwhelming urge to fall to my knees. The awe is indescribable... it’s as if a true god has descended upon the mortal world right before my eyes!"

"Ms. Hezi! What in the world is going on?!"

Muraoka Rui struggled to stay on his feet, narrating his experience as he turned to ask Hei Mu Hezi.

"The Daoist Lord has succeeded! He’s fused the Twelve Divine Forms and taken a step none of our ancestors ever could! He has created a true ’god’!"

"Make no mistake, that is a true ’god’! A ’True God’ that needs no host and can leave the Grand Array! As long as the Divine Fire burns within the Divine Altar, it will never fade!!"

At that moment, Hei Mu Hezi was trembling violently. A fanatical look appeared on her beautiful, delicate, porcelain-doll-like face, completely devoid of her initial frosty demeanor. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

Shikigami and Yin Spirits must rely on certain material anchors to exist. Even beings as powerful as the Twelve Divine Forms cannot survive for long in the outside world if they are cut off from their host’s magnetic field and leave the confines of this Array.

This is the greatest weakness of a Shikigami.

However, entities that can exist indefinitely as formless aggregates of magnetic fields are not unheard of in this world.

That’s right. Those are the natural "Deities."

The very beings contacted through Prayer Witchcraft are these vast, unseen aggregates of magnetic fields.

And now, by fusing the Twelve Divine Forms, Tsuchimikado Kazai has molded them into just such an existence.

It no longer needs a host’s energy to survive and can exist in the world on its own. Its very essence was forged by borrowing from the national fortune of Japan. Therefore, as long as Japan stands, It can draw a continuous supply of power from the magnetic field to restore Itself.

In the future, as more and more of the Japanese People come to worship It, Its power will only continue to grow.

And as the creators and masters of this god, the Tsuchimikado Clan and the Heaven-Reaching Lodge will share in Its eternal glory.

"A true god?"

Hearing Hei Mu Hezi’s words, the viewers in front of their screens erupted into another clamor.

"The Heaven-Reaching Lodge! The Yin Yang Masters! They’re incredible! Victory is assured this time!"

"Looks like calling him the ’Great Demon King’ was giving him too much credit! The power of Japan is far beyond what he imagined. His plan is doomed to fail before it’s even truly begun!"

"..."

The Japanese People were already on the verge of a premature, frenzied celebration.

’A god? A true god?’

Meanwhile, the Donghua viewers supporting Yi Beidou were left stunned.

The Key Immortals were itching to wage war in the comments, but for a moment, they were at a complete loss. They had their swords drawn, but they didn’t know where to strike.

That colossal Shikigami, towering over ten meters tall, seemed to defy reality itself. Their confidence began to waver.

’They actually succeeded?’

Outside the Heaven-Reaching Lodge, the remaining members of Japan’s original Twelve Martial Saints looked on with astonishment.

A True God had descended upon the world, powerful enough to alter the heavens. Its terrifying might was simply unimaginable.

From this day forward, the Tsuchimikado Clan would likely rise to unprecedented heights.

’It seems we’ll have to be more cautious in our dealings with the Tsuchimikado Clan from now on.’
