Chapter 214: The Fox Mother and Daughter Both Taken In As.....
Inner Kyoto.
A charming, voluptuous woman full of feminine allure, dressed in a twelve-layered kimono, held her breath slightly as she looked at the card in her hand.
When she channeled her demonic power into it, the card began actively drawing power from her.
When she felt that only one-tenth of her power remained, the card finally reacted.
The enchanting woman sensed something merging into her body and felt her lost power returning.
No, this power seemed to have changed in nature as well, making her even stronger.
Originally, as a nine-tailed fox, her strength was between that of a High-class Devil and a Maou, referred to as Dragon King level.
Now, she instantly broke through this level, directly stepping into Maou level, but the power didn't stop there.
In the span of a breath, she broke through Maou level and continued to grow, reaching God level!
And it was still increasing, causing everyone around to feel an intense pressure.
"Lady Yasaka, have you become a god?"
A fox priestess said excitedly.
Their clan had a special connection with Lady Yasaka, so they faintly sensed that their master had transcended the boundaries of a yokai.
"I don't know."
Yasaka couldn't be sure what level her power had reached.
"Probably enough to rival the Victorious Fighting Buddha."
Someone gave such an evaluation, astonishing everyone.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha, though a high-ranking deity, possesses strength that can rival that of a chief god.
This meant that the nine-tailed fox, Yasaka, also possessed power nearly on par with a chief god.
Of course, she certainly couldn't be compared to chief gods like Indra—such beings were practically beyond the chief god level.
"What about me? What about me?"
She also asked excitedly the one who had given the evaluation—the one who had bestowed the cards upon her and her mother.
She had just completed her transformation.
"Hmm~ Is that all?"
Kunou couldn't help but feel disappointed.
She was just a little short—meaning she hadn't reached the level of an intermediate devil.
At this level, she would be completely useless in a fight.
So—
"Renji, please take back my Demon God qualification and give it to someone more suitable~"
Though it pained her greatly, the young Kunou understood what needed to be done. Such a qualification should be given to someone else rather than wasted on her.
"No need, it's fine~"
"But, but..."
"I said it's fine, so it's fine. No one will object, and if they do, they can come to me!"
Renji replied, gently patting the little girl's head.
Thus, today, two more Demon Gods were added—a mother and daughter pair.
"Then, Kunou, let's not disturb King Solomon's rest~"
"Huh? Ah, yes~"
Not much time had passed since the dangerous situation earlier, and he had only recovered a bit of magical power. Now, after transforming Kunou, it was nearly depleted again, so he needed proper rest.
Why not return to Kuoh Town immediately?
Yasaka was worried that once they left the Inner Kyoto, they might immediately face an unexpected ambush. It was better to rest properly right here in the Inner Kyoto.
With her now a Demon God, she should be able to offer some protection.
Then why not use teleportation magic to return? After all, Akeno had brought a teleportation magic circle that could directly transport them to Kuoh Academy.
However, the longer the distance of the teleportation magic, the more susceptible it was to interference.
If someone had set up a spatial interference magic between Kyoto and Kuoh Town, it would be troublesome.
Simply put, Akeno's power wasn't enough to fully withstand such interference.
Then, what if Yasaka were to use it?
Unfortunately, Yasaka said her yokai magic might not be compatible with the teleportation magic used by devils.
In reality, it should be possible, but Yasaka deliberately used this excuse to make this lord stay one more day.
"Aren't you going to summon Rias and the others here?"
Akeno felt it would be best to have everyone by his side right now.
"No need."
The reason Renji didn't summon them was to avoid problems in Kuoh Town.
After all, Sona and Rias still had their own servants and some friends in Kuoh Town. If they were summoned here and the town was suddenly attacked in retaliation, it would be troublesome.
For now, while resting, he could also take the time to organize the various spells given by the God of the Bible, some of which involved spells related to the root of the dimensional gap.
"Alright~"
Akeno sighed and left the room.
She also glanced at Suzaku, who was nearby. Suzaku's lips moved slightly, but she said nothing.
Sister Suzaku was still hesitating.
It wasn't that she was worried about being targeted by the Buddhist realm, but as the designated next head of the Himajima family, she had to consider her family's circumstances.
Moreover, Suzaku-nee is also connected to a deity from our country's mythological system. That deity is the one enshrined by the Himejima family, and she serves as that deity's shrine maiden. If she were to casually switch allegiance to someone else, it would likely bring divine punishment upon the Himejima family.
If only Suzaku-nee were free, that would be wonderful.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
The host, Yasaka, provided supper for the two sisters keeping watch. They quietly enjoyed the meal, doing their best not to disturb those who were resting.
After seeing the Himejima sisters finish their supper, Yasaka curved the corners of her lips slightly without them noticing.
They're still too young after all.
Thus, the two sisters gradually fell asleep without realizing it after finishing their supper.
So Yasaka turned her gaze to the person resting beside them.
Though he appeared to be sleeping, it actually seemed more like he was cultivating something. In truth, he was awake.
Therefore, Yasaka somewhat hoped he would wake up before the sisters did.
The sooner the better, so the night wouldn't grow deeper and would instead become shorter.
Speaking of which, what if he refused?
Although Yasaka believed almost no man could resist her charm, this one was no ordinary person.
From their first meeting until now, she had never seen that kind of desire in his eyes.
Moreover, the words of the God of the Bible were somewhat concerning.
Could it be that King Solomon was becoming a new god? And she'd heard that gods and angels had even lower desires in that regard.
So why did Yasaka want to do such a thing?
That's because she still felt somewhat insecure, attempting to deepen their relationship through such means to make mother and daughter feel more secure.
Additionally, all Seventy-Two Demon Gods would be women, and certainly many would set their sights on them. She couldn't afford to fall behind.
Besides, she was already interested herself, so she didn't want to be limited to just a lord and vassal relationship.
Hmm? He's awake...
