: World Changes, the Appearance of the Kirieloids!

Chapter 200: World Changes, the Appearance of the Kirieloids!

"Those who have used the Shikon Jewel will ultimately become unfortunate."

"Tsubaki, you don't know this, do you? Using the Shikon Jewel shards will also bring misfortune. Moreover, the power that the Shikon Jewel increases is actually squeezing out a person's life force. When you lose the shards, your body and soul will be like a candle in the wind, easily extinguished."

Kikyo earnestly explains to Tsubaki the consequences of using the Shikon Jewel.

Chun immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Even Kikyo had died before, so she had no choice but to believe it.

However, she still retorted defiantly, "Hmph, Kikyo, do you think I'm like you? If I were, I wouldn't have any problems even using the Shikon Jewel!"

Upon hearing this, Kikyo gave up trying to persuade her, and just glanced at her with amusement, teasingly saying, "Is that so? Then why are you lying on the ground in such a sorry state, not moving at all? And you're tied up so tightly."

Chun got even angrier.

"It was you and those little witches who tied them up! You have no sportsmanship, you ambushed me! I was just careless!"

"Pfft!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina couldn't help but laugh.

Chun looked completely embarrassed.

Her stubbornness now is utterly unconvincing.

In the end, Kikyo placed a prayer bead around the neck of the black priestess Tsubaki. This bead, which was originally prepared for Inuyasha, was now placed around Tsubaki's neck.

Then, Shinji Kaminaga took Tsubaki into the room to "train" her—no, to "condition" her body.

Tsubaki is able to maintain her youthful beauty at the age of ten because she has fused with a yokai, which means she is also a special half-yokai.

However, this has hidden dangers. While the monster provides her with magical power and eternal youth, it also corrupts her mind and depletes her potential.

"What—what are you doing? Don't touch me, you filthy man! Ah, you rude scoundrel!"

Inside the room, Chun's angry curses could be heard.

Yui Yuigahama, standing at the door, blushed and kept glancing at the door. She was extremely curious about how Kaminaga-kun treated the shrine maiden Tsubaki inside.

A short while later, Shinji Kaminaga walked out naturally.

"It's all done."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsubaki, dressed in a white shrine maiden outfit, stepped out. Her cheeks were flushed, and noticing the stares from the others, she glared back fiercely.

But when his gaze fell on Shinji Kaminaga and Kikyo, his expression became incredibly complicated.

She was so envious of Kikyo that she was deeply jealous.

Why is Kikyo so lucky?

Ten years ago, he was chosen by his master to be protected by the Shikon Jewel. Now, after being dead for ten years, he has been chosen by a god and resurrected.

As Chun thought about Kikyo, she felt increasingly like a failure, and she gritted her teeth in resentment.

"Hmm, you look much better now. Tsubaki, you look better in all white."

Kikyo smiled and nodded.

At this moment, thanks to Shinji Kaminaga's special purification, the weakness of the shrine maiden Tsubaki's fusion with the yokai has been eliminated. While retaining the yokai's ability to maintain eternal youth, the price to be paid has been removed.

"Hmph, I'll wear whatever I want, it's none of your business!"

Chun retorted sharply, then fell silent.

The prayer beads around her neck proved that she could only ever be Kikyo's subordinate.

However, to be fair, she actually gained unimaginable benefits from Shinji Kaminaga this time.

She's not the kind of woman who doesn't know gratitude.

So, Kikyo then asked her to teach Yukino and the others proper shrine maiden magic, and she didn't hold back any of it.

Unlike the unorthodox Kikyo, the Tsubaki-kai priestesses possess a wide variety of shrine maiden spells, and these spells are orthodox.

Regardless, she was the chief disciple of the Grand Mage, and her talent was undeniable.

The shrine maiden Tsubaki was thus left at the Maple Shrine, turning an enemy into a friend.

Naraku, inside the lair, witnessed this scene through Kanna's mirror, his face turning terrifyingly grim.

He didn't suspect Kagura of betraying him; he just felt that Shinji Kaminaga was even more terrifying.

Even a shrine maiden like the Black Witch Tsubaki could be instantly detected if she sneaked in; if I were to enter a certain area, I would definitely be discovered and eliminated.

Just thinking about it fills me with dread.

So, here's the question.

That useless shrine maiden Tsubaki not only failed to bring back the newly collected fragments from the Maple Shrine, but has now also lost one.

How do we snatch it?

Or rather, steal it?

Thinking that Kanna's identity had been discovered but she hadn't been attacked, Naraku's lips curled up slightly.

"Kanna, go and find an opportunity to bring back the Shikon Jewel shards!"

Kanna:

Upon receiving the order, the girl glanced at Naraku expressionlessly, then left the lair carrying the mirror.

She had no room to resist.

After all, the heart was in Naraku's hands.

That evening.

Shinji Kaminaga was keeping watch nearby.

Kikyo and Yukino were bathing in the water.

Suddenly, he instinctively turned his head to look behind him.

"Come out."

Although there was almost no aura, he still sensed the approaching person.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little white-haired girl dressed in a white kimono with two white flowers in her hair slowly walked out.

"Oh, it's Kanna."

Shinji Kaminaga smiled and waved to her, inviting her to come and sit down.

Kanna did not refuse.

She walked over lightly, wearing straw sandals, and slowly sat down beside him.

Shinji Kaminaga reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, letting her sit on his lap.

He stroked her hair with his large hand and said softly, "Did you come here suddenly because of something important?"

"—Yes, Naraku's order."

Being patted on the head and held in someone's arms—such intimate gestures caused even the emotionless little girl, Kaname, to feel strange emotions.

After all, Naraku only brought her and her sister Kagura orders and threats, with absolutely no warmth whatsoever.

This person, instead of attacking her because she was an incarnation of Naraku, was so gentle that she instinctively craved his warmth.

Therefore, she did not resist at all when she sat in his lap.

"Oh, I knew it. Naraku ordered you here because of the Shikon Jewel shards, right?"

Shinji Kaminaga stroked her soft, flowing hair and made a guess with a smile.

She absolutely adores the white-haired little girl, the kind with no personality traits.

"Yes."

The god responded in an ethereal tone, confirming his guess.

"In that case, take all the Shikon Jewel fragments back with you. Just say that you took advantage of our unpreparedness and used a mirror to temporarily trap us so you could get the Shikon Jewel."

"But before that, let me hold you a little longer!"

The next day.

When Kanna handed several Shikon Jewel shards to Naraku, Naraku grinned and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Well done, Kanna!"

"I didn't expect that Shinji Kaminaga would like your type. Very well, I've found his weakness."

o

However, despite saying that, Naraku himself had no intention of confronting Shinji Kaminaga directly.

And Kikyo, he didn't dare to appear in front of this woman at all.

Naraku feared death more than anyone else.

Despite Naraku's praise, Kanna remained expressionless.

To put it bluntly, Naraku was just using her as a scapegoat. He was scared, so he didn't treat her and Kagura like human beings.

In the event of danger, she and Kagura are the scapegoats who can be sacrificed.

Thinking of Naraku's treacherous ruthlessness, and contrasting it with the warmth Shinji Kaminaga brought her, Kanna subconsciously clutched her heart.

Naraku was still immersed in joy at this moment, so he did not notice that Kanna's crystal heart had accelerated a few times.

After spending some time in the Sengoku period, Shinji Kaminaga, seeing that Naraku was too busy developing and not causing trouble, took Kikyo and Yukino and returned to the modern era through the Bone Eater's Well.

Yes, I brought Feng along this time too.

At the shrine, Shinji Kaminaga secretly asked Kanna and Kagura to look after the area. Since the Shikon Jewel shards were gone, the villagers wouldn't encounter any major danger.

However, as soon as they emerged from the Well of Bones, they saw a dark, dense chrysanthemum in the sky.

Dark energy currents surged in the air, and a door with strange patterns could be vaguely seen.

Nangong Nayue appeared in front of them almost instantly.

She solemnly took Shinji Kaminaga's hand and recounted the appearance of the gate in the sky and the events of the past few days.

It turns out that two days ago, when Aoi Kaminaga was reporting on the results of Super GUTS' investigation at a press conference, a reporter suddenly floated in the air and arrogantly declared, "The sacred flame will purify all filth, and the Earth will receive the guidance of the god Kirieloid!"

The following day, an explosion occurred in a city in Hokkaido. When the authorities arrived to investigate, all that remained were ruins and a few survivors with tear-streaked faces.

The whole world was plunged into grief, while a cult called the Kyrie Elord began to gain followers.

Basically, there are fanatical believers everywhere demanding that the Super GUTS team join the cult, plunging the earth into the fear of the god Kirieloid.

After hearing what Nagisa Nanami said, Shinji Kaminaga couldn't help but reach out and pat her little head.

"It's alright, Natsuki-chan. I think I know who our opponents are now. They're Kirieloids, a bunch of cowards."

"I'll find a way to solve it."

Nangong Nayue slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Don't put yourself in danger. With the increase in the number of followers of the Kirieloid Cult, that strange door has now appeared in the sky."

"I tried to seal it with my spatial abilities, but the door remained unmoved, and—I could sense the demonic aura emanating from it."

Shinji Kaminari nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The Kirieloids are veterans from the neighboring Ultraman Tiga world, claiming to have arrived on Earth 30 million years ago.

However, when the Dark Ruler appeared, these Kirieloids ran faster than rabbits.

Shinji Kaminaga believed that these Kirieloids only wanted to harvest a wave of faith to replenish the energy of the so-called Kirieloid god, and their purpose was not to save humanity at all.

Shinji Kaminaga was frustrated that the world was changing too fast.

While Zero was still hiding, the Kirieloids appeared, which means that Earth will definitely face no shortage of monsters and aliens in the future.

Even with Ultraman around, monster attacks will eventually occur.

night.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina, who were sitting in their seats eating, both seemed a little distracted.

Nishimiya Shoko also frowned and sighed from time to time.

Nangong Nayue quietly ate her portion, her calm face showing a hint of worry.

Aoi Kaminaga made the right decision to create the Super GUTS team.

The problem is that, when facing monsters that can grow to enormous sizes, the laser cannons of fighter jets probably won't be of much use.

Unlike the worried Yukino and the others.

Sherry calmly ate her meal, believing that Kaminari-kun would solve the problem.

After a vigorous workout, Shinji Kaminaga lowered his head and gently kissed Yukino's forehead in his arms.

He got up, put on his clothes, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a small hand grabbed the hem of her clothes.

It's Yukinoshita Yukino.

How could she possibly sleep with the gates of hell looming in the sky?

"Come back safely, or I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

The girl's voice carried a hint of pleading.

She knew she couldn't stop him from facing the gates of hell alone, from fighting the unknown enemy.

At this moment, she hated her own weakness and powerlessness even more.

Shinji Kaminaga smiled slightly, turned around and touched Yukino's hair. "Don't worry, I haven't married you yet. I will definitely come back safely."

"Well then, I'm off now, Yukino. Take care of yourself, don't get stuck in a rut. You'll catch up with me and gain power someday!"

"After all, you're my woman, Shinji Kaminaga!"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.

"May you have great success in your military endeavors!"

Shinji Kaminari strode away.

Then, Nishimiya Shoko, Shiina Mahiru, and Yukari walked in.

Along with them came other priestesses with spiritual powers, such as Kikyo, Kagome Higurashi, and Yui Yuigahama.

"Kanaga-kun has set off, and we can't hold him back."

Yukino Yukinoshita stepped into the room naturally and continued, "According to Nazuki-chan's speculation, the Gate of Hell is maintained by the faith of believers, so opening the Gate of Hell probably depends on the sacrifice of believers."

"We can't deal with the unknown, but our opponents are brainwashed humans, and I think we can do our part in that."

"Yonai is right. I'm ready. We can't go to other cities to provide support, but in Chiba, I think we can paralyze the Kirieloid Cult here."

Shiina Mahiru spoke firmly, her spiritual energy surging as she unhesitatingly revealed her shrine maiden attire.

"I will help too," Aurora said, pulling Jada Kukokan along with her.

Despite being the true progenitor of vampires, Jada Kukokan did not want to see the so-called god Kirieloid descend.

Without mentioning the girls' actions.

We arrived at Shinji Kaminaga's side.

Standing on the rooftop, looking at the surging black mist in the sky and the Gate of Hell radiating strange energy fluctuations, he couldn't help but sneer.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation came from behind.

Nangong Nayue, dressed in a black evening gown, appeared behind him.

"Are we going?"

"Yes, so Natsuki-chan, please watch closely as I transform!"

Shinji Kaminaga turned around, gazing tenderly at her petite and adorable figure.

Nangong Nayue sighed. Even though she was a witch, there were things she couldn't do.

Ultimately, it will still depend on this student to protect everything.

"May you have great success in your military endeavors!"

All she could do was offer her heartfelt blessings and gently step forward to give him an encouraging hug.

However, the next second, someone quickly lowered their head and kissed her small lips.

Such a great opportunity.

One hug isn't enough.
