Chapter 380 – 33. Turning the Country Upside Down
The chaos on Fox Island was quickly resolved.
It was only half a day after the incident occurred.
It was a natural result since we caught the instigator and obtained their cooperation.
Nevertheless, the material damage, including broken buildings here and there, is not small.
This is because the Tsukitsune family withstood the rebellion by making up for the lack of military power with terrain features.
However, thanks to this, no one died, and a peaceful settlement was possible.
In the first place, Suzume also played a role in not wanting to cause unnecessary damage.
Anyway, those who fight against them are also the people of Futashima.
It was a choice worthy of Suzume, considering not only the Moon Fox clan, but all of Futashima.
Thanks to this, we were able to reach an amicable conclusion even though a major incident such as a rebellion occurred.
Of course, it wasn’t really finished yet.
“So. What do you think?”
“…”
“Nothing good will come from keeping your mouth shut.”
“No, we…”
“You saw the demon guy. But you still won’t tell me.”
While the Akayoru family, which was the center of the Tsukitsune family and their opponents, roamed the island and calmed the people.
Han Si-woo and the shaman Miko captured the women of the Oni tribe and interrogated them.
As long as the purpose of being dispatched to Fox Island is closely related to the Onihime family.
There is a high probability that at least one or two people will know about Onihime’s plan.
“… I will tell you.”
In the end, after Siwoo’s persuasion, an Oni woman opened her mouth.
He was a swordsman who was the center of the Oni tribe in the Moon God Temple.
“What the saint said is correct. We…”
Naturally, not all the Oni people on Fox Island knew the secret.
According to her, about four or five people.
I was sure about three people, including myself, but the other two were ambiguous, so it was difficult to add them to the number.
In addition, I learned the full story of the plan that the Onihime family was secretly planning.
“It’s a rebellion for God.”
“If that’s the case, it’s true. They didn’t do it simply because of power.”
Saint Elaine shakes her head in a sad voice.
Siwoo also sympathized with her and clicked her tongue.
They join hands with demons for their god who is getting weaker day by day.
Unlike the Tsukitsune family, which put forward false justifications, this group did not even hide their cooperation with the demons.
No, the goal from the beginning was to obtain complete power over Futashima and switch to the demon side.
And the ultimate goal is to drive out the sleeping main gods like the six demon gods.
It was said that they were trying to restore the twin gods of the sun to their original state.
“Certainly, a god who uses Yang as the main axis of power will inevitably become weak.”
“Because the divine world is also overflowing with negative energy.”
From the god who created the world, to the 10 goddesses who follow the god until the end, to the 6 demons who rebelled.
No god in this world is omnipotent.
They all have clear limits to their power, and the size of their power increases or decreases depending on the environment.
Just as elves are more capable than they are in the forest, and dwarves are unable to do anything on the sea.
As a result, many differences arose in this world compared to the world of equal energy before the return.
If the main god had not prepared various arrangements and made various efforts, this world, separated by thousands of years of time, would have been completely different from what Si-woo remembers. Especially due to the power gap that can arise between gods.
Nevertheless, problems cannot be prevented, and there is bound to be a weakened god compared to the previous world.
The twin gods of Futashima, who symbolize the sun, did that.
“Speaking of the sun, fire and light are both representative of the power of yang. But…”
“The Onihime family’s thoughts may be wrong, but they may also be right.”
“Miko.”
Miko the shrine maiden turned her head toward the horizon in the distance, and beyond that to Oni Island.
“The two twin gods, the 10 goddesses and the 6 demon gods are all equal. However, the difference in power is quite large. So, it would not be inferior to the numbers ten and six. However, considering the symbolism of the sun, it is only one out of ten and cannot handle even six. It might make you angry, but…”
Although the words were blurred, both Siwoo and Elaine knew what Miko had swallowed.
As expected, this was a widely known story through the scriptures and tales of the main religion.
“Yin and energy are not problems that can be solved by driving out the main god.”
“… Yes.”
It is true that the root of the problem is the main deity.
It was revenge before returning, and he went berserk and forcibly summoned the gods who would come anyway.
A dimensional gap created in the aftermath.
Through this, an enormous amount of yin and energy flowed into the world, and the main god fell asleep after trying his best to resolve the problem he had caused. Almost similar to before regression. It’s as if it’s fate that things turn out this way.
In any case, the gap that caused the world to deteriorate was long ago closed.
It’s just that the evil energy has spread to the extent that even the power of the gods can’t do anything about it.
“But why on earth did the Onihime family join hands with the demons?”
Elaine looked at Miko and expressed doubt.
I didn’t expect her to know, but she had the ability to foresight, so I thought it might be possible.
And Miko knew the reason.
“On Futashima… Because that incident will not be known.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“It is a closed country to the extent that even the main Protestants are few. It is no exaggeration to say that they are not found in the private sector, but even in the great families. Not only is there much known about the Goddess religion, let alone what is written in the scriptures. Perhaps it is the saint. Even the title won’t mean much to them.”
“Such…”
Elaine is so embarrassed that she cannot continue speaking.
I had heard of Futashima’s closedness, but I never dreamed it would be this bad.
This is the only country where the Catholic Church is not widespread and, except for the southern province of Magyeong, the Catholic Church is not dispatched to a bishop.
But no matter how you think about it, isn’t this serious?
“In the end, the Onihime family was deceived by the demons.”
“Yes.”
“If you just listen to what I say, it might seem like it can be easily resolved through conversation, but that’s not true, right?”
“…”
Neither Elaine nor Miko could say anything in Siu’s bitter voice.
When things have happened like this, there is no way the demons who ran away can stay still.
They must have done something to prevent them from having a proper conversation.
No matter how much you think about it, it’s clear that it will be much more difficult than this time.
“I tried to decline as much as possible, but I guess I can’t help but get Suzume’s help with this.”
“Hmm. That’s definitely true. We’re so outnumbered.”
The fact that Han Si-woo and his group overpowered the Tsukitsune family with less than ten people was largely due to luck.
Although we had prepared some things in advance, our expectations were exactly what we expected, and the operation itself went smoothly.
However, such things are impossible on Oni Island.
There is nothing prepared, nothing is known about the situation on the other side, and the other side is fully prepared.
“Miko.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything either. I told you everything I received foreknowledge from the two gods.”
“I see.”
Siwoo loses his appetite in disappointment.
The prophecy I secretly heard from the shrine maiden Miko at the hot springs was quite meaningful, but it turned out to be unfortunate.
Miko, realizing his thoughts, smiled.
“Still, the two gods do not want the division of Futashima, so foresight will come down as soon as possible.”
“But work is urgent. We have to go to Oni Island in at least two or three days.”
“That’s right. Plus, it’s a prophecy. Miko, you need to prepare too.”
“That’s true, but…”
Miko’s expression quickly darkened as the two pointed out their successive comments.
Although I made up my mind and stepped up to deal with the country’s crisis, I felt that from the first reunion until now, there was nothing helpful.
The fact that he avoided Suzume’s eyes was also thanks to Shiu’s wit and help from Maki Senjo, and although he provided information, it did not feel like he benefited much. Also, they couldn’t even time the rebellion, and on the day they ended up chasing after each other, Siwoo solved everything.
In reality, if Siwoo knew what she was thinking, she would have completely denied it.
In fact, the person involved was losing confidence.
“Well, it will work out somehow. It seems like Suzume is fully committed to helping her.”
“Ah…”
The face of a fox beast, waving its tail and smiling lively, appeared in Elaine and Miko’s minds.
A vicious five-tailed woman who was forcibly violated by Si-woo.
If she was going to hold on somehow, Suzume was like no other, but she raised the white flag with one blow.
No, she was crossing the white flag and following Siwoo as if he were some kind of pet.
It was the power of a huge infusion of energy and an extended tail.
“It’s a good thing…”
“Haha. If I had known it was because of Yang and Tails, it would have been resolved a long time ago.”
“On one side, it’s an illusion, and on the other side, it’s a problem with a solution just around the corner. It’s a very sad story.”
“… I’m sorry.”
Miko felt embarrassed for no reason, and even though it wasn’t her fault, she apologized to both of them.
The latter was like that, but the former was just embarrassing.
The Tsukitsune family’s problems are extremely personal.
The only consolation I had was that Siwoo was the only one who could give me what I wanted.
“What is there to be sorry about? Let’s continue talking about something more constructive than that. Things like the power situation on Oni Island. Oh, if you have a map, I’d like to ask.”
“I’ll get it right away.”
“Yes.
Siwoo requested everything else that might be needed for the response meeting.
Finally, he asked about Miko’s men on Oni Island.
As for Miko herself, she had high expectations because her subordinates were quite helpful.
“You mean subordinates? The number of people is similar to here. Some people are revealed, some are not.”
“The important things will come later.”
“Yes. Probably all of those who were exposed were caught. Even those who were hidden, probably half of them were caught based on circumstances alone.”
“Yes, because there are demons too.”
Siwoo thought about the demon tamer he encountered that day.
Mystica Empire 4th Prince Demon Hunt.
The magician, who was a little younger than he remembered, was later a close associate of the Demon King during the Great War.
I don’t know if he became the emperor of the empire, but what is certain is that he was the influential mastermind behind many incidents on the continent.
Of course, the investigation was too late, the clues were small, and he didn’t know what it was like in reality.
We don’t know the outcome of the war or most of the situation right now.
This was the limit of a C-class hero who kept falling through the cracks and knew little.
‘Thanks to you, Futashima’s job is going well. Ha, the world has changed so much that it seemed okay to not know a lot, but it’s secretly becoming a problem. What will happen later… But that doesn’t mean I can do anything right now.’
“My subordinates… Honestly, I don’t have any means of contacting them, so it would be best not to get your hopes up.”
“Really? Oh, I remembered it when I contacted you. I wonder if the Tsukitsune family has received any communication from Oni Island? They also have foxes dispatched there.”
“I saw that. I’ll ask right away and come back.”
Elaine moves quickly as there are only three people in the room right now.
After a while she returned, not with information, but with an informant.
“Did you find me, Siwoo♥”
“Suzume…”
It was Suzume, a fox beast with hearts in her eyes.
