Right now, he was just thinking about this, perhaps not yet realizing that in this world where gods and buddhas have weakened, soone like him who can borrow the power of a Guardian Spirit might really not be much different from those gods who are subtly down-to-earth, and maybe even better off than most of the fallen gods...
On the contrary, only Yato, who was watching from the side, saw clearly, but also felt it was only natural. After all, this was what he thought from the beginning, still racking his brain over the real identity of the other party.
But at this mont, Yato suddenly saw a figure, his pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively shouted out:
"Stop! Don't go over there!"
It was a dazed young girl with vacant eyes, who sohow wandered into this area.
Originally, she was still unconsciously walking forward, but maybe because of Yato's loud shout, she suddenly snapped back to her senses.
"Huh? Eh, I... I am..."
The girl, only in soul form, hadn't reacted yet, looking around bewilderedly, not knowing where she was, and the next mont she saw all kinds of terrifying monsters like a black tide swarming toward her!
As the scream echoed, dazzling laser beams instantly swept over, evaporating the mass of demons completely, disappearing without a trace even before approaching her, which cald the girl's scared soul slightly. But before she could feel fortunate, she imdiately saw the next wave of black tide roaring in.
Dense eyes, oddly twisted monstrous bodies, semi-transparent contours, and the heavy negative aura exuded, sticky like a stinking swamp, heaviness and malice looming over, making her feel suffocated and dizzy.
However, another burst of laser-like dazzling and prominent light swept over again, vaporizing this wave of demons utterly.
"What are you stunned for... are you just going to watch from up there?"
Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch his mouth, looking up at Yato on the tall building beside him, thinking how this guy was not sharp at all.
"Damn it, you think I want to just watch? I'm unard right now..." Yato shouted angrily. Usually, he would detour when he encountered demons, especially now that his divine artifact just resigned and ran off this morning, making him feel more headache.
Damn, if only I could have such a divine artifact, would I still have to sneak around...
He looked enviously at the divine artifact in Gu Mo's hand, the one that could strike down anyone in a second, and then gritted his teeth and glanced at the alley behind the other party, finding that the purple glow seeping out was beginning to weaken, as if the Wind Acupoint was about to close.
Everything would soon be over, the other side indeed couldn't step away at this mont, could only do it himself.
He took a deep breath and suddenly jumped down, leaping several tis between the tall buildings, landing beside the bewildered girl.
"This-this-this—what's going on..."
Perhaps the magical occurrence in front of her was too overwhelming, causing the girl to stutter while speaking.
"You can understand it as the Gate of Hell opening here, which naturally becos a source of imnse attraction for certain things, like a strong magnet, just like how you muddle-headedly ca here..."
Yato gritted his teeth and explained, watching the swarm of demons surrounding them, for the first ti feeling so unsure inside.
"For the dead, the Otherworld should be the place to go; however, many undead remain in the world due to regrets in life... And those who do not go to the Otherworld, over ti, will slowly forget their true nas and mories, becoming residents in the crevices between this world and the Otherworld."
Their final fate usually has two possibilities: if unlucky, they are devoured and assimilated by demons... if luckier, they get a chance to beco a divine artifact for so god.
And the forr belongs to the ultimate fate of most demons, which is quite a tragic point.
They originally lingered in the world due to regrets, but not only did they fail to fulfill them, they also gradually forgot their identities and mories—without regrets fulfilled, forgetting them directly also ans the regrets no longer exist.
But at that ti, even if they no longer know why they stay in the world, there's no way to regret it.
Unable to go to the Otherworld, they can only hide and beco wandering ghosts in the human world, waiting for the final fate to co—because demons, these more powerful Otherworld monsters compared to undead, inhabit deeper crevices and see crevice-dwelling residents as fragrant food to devour, even divine artifacts nad by gods are food for demons, let alone ordinary undead.
This is precisely why the situation here is understandable—
The nearby undead thought a passage to the afterlife had appeared, naturally swarming here in their wandering, trying to find relief, while their presence is like attracting predators like fish schools, so the demons that feed on undead also gather here, madly desiring to feast, unstoppable by anyone.
"W-wait a minute! What do you an by like I muddle-headedly ca here too..."
The girl found it hard to accept so much information, only feeling sothing wasn't quite right, if only undead were attracted, then why was she attracted?
"You haven't noticed yourself... never mind, there's no ti to explain now. I ask you, do you want to beco my divine artifact?"
Yato anxiously extended the invitation, having no other choice now, and this girl currently being a soul t the conditions to beco a divine artifact.
On the other side, Gu Mo was also stunned—
Wait, how much did I change the narrative's direction? Could this scene too possibly get an initial B grade rating?
