21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 948 - 941 Arrangements

Chapter 948 -941 Arrangements

With Inomata Naoki understanding what happened in the dream, Chen Yu’s entire plan, stalled for several months, started moving again.

This time, what Chen Yu planned was no longer just a small skirmish, but a real effort to achieve his own deification.

All preparations were put into place, and this time, not only did Chen Yu’s ship-girls enter a state of alert, but also the several corps that had been training were ready to go, prepared to be deployed to the battlefield.

As for Jounouchi Hiromi, due to the divinity and divine power she absorbed from Xiao Lan, she has begun her divine transformation, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, when Chen Yu begins executing his plan, she will also transform into a demigod.

This time, Chen Yu intends to truly break the boundary between life and death, completely shattering the world’s rules, and seize four foundational rules to forge his divine rank.

This will not only provoke intense resistance from the world’s consciousness but will also draw the animosity and exclusion of the entire world towards him.

More importantly, after Chen Yu does this, Izanami, who is sealed in Yomotsu Hirasaka in Japanese mythology, will lead the armies of Yomi to invade the human world.

If Chen Yu cannot handle this matter, then what awaits the world is a human catastrophe, the resurgence of myth.

Therefore, both Chen Yu and the Inari God are extremely cautious regarding this matter.

Chen Yu has staked all his power on this, and the Inari God likewise has gathered all the forces from all of Japan’s thirty thousand Inari Shrines to act as military support during Chen Yu’s ritual to resist the armies of Yomi.

This time, the location for Chen Yu’s ritual was not chosen to be on the Sanzu Riverbank, but directly at Yomotsu Hirasaka.

On one hand, this is because Yomotsu Hirasaka, like the Sanzu River, is a passage connecting the worlds of life and death, a gap between life and death which was blocked by Izanagi using the Senzui Stone in mythological times to prevent his wife Izanami from charging out of Yomi.

On the other hand, this is because it will be the place where the armies of Yomi will invade, so Chen Yu’s conducting the ritual here not only allows him to leverage the power of the Inari God to resist the world consciousness’s opposition but also to set up a military formation to counter the invasion of Yomi’s armies while achieving his deification.

This approach has several benefits. Firstly, it allows for immediate defense against the armies of Yomi, preventing them from invading the human world and causing slaughter and disaster.

Since Chen Yu himself broke the boundary between life and death, he believes that the resulting disaster should be handled by him to avoid causing further harm to the world.

Secondly, preventing the invasion of the dead is viewed as meritorious by the world, which could offset the world’s animosity towards Chen Yu for seizing its rules.

After all, even if the world consciousness is active, it is a simple mechanism with instinctive reactions; as long as actions are in the world’s interest, one can gain the world’s favor and receive various benefits, even becoming the Child of the World.

Even if faced with the rejection and loathing of world consciousness, things beneficial to the entire world can make amends.

So regardless of what happens, Chen Yu must block the armies of Yomi until he successfully extracts four rules and then seal them back into the land of the dead. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

For Chen Yu, who can become a Supreme God surpassing higher divine power post-deification, this wouldn’t be too difficult, especially with the assistance of the Inari God, who would also reach the Supreme God level and possess a Netherworld divine rank at that time.

Now everything is being prepared urgently; even Amaterasu from Gao Tianyuan is keeping eyes on this matter, numerous times communicating with Chen Yu through the Divine Mirror, discussing this incident.

Everything seems poised, just waiting for all preparations to be completed, then Chen Yu will break the boundary between life and death and commence the final deification ritual.

Yet at this pivotal moment, Inomata Naoki surprisingly asked Chen Yu for two days off, taking his girlfriend Tokairin Yuko, who also took leave, to Okinawa, saying they wanted to thoroughly enjoy their vacation and strengthen their relationship.

Chen Yu could only find this laughably absurd, feeling that Inomata Naoki was deceiving himself.

His intent was to enhance and solidify his feelings for Tokairin Yuko through their time together, but this effort was destined to be futile.

Because not only Chen Yu, but also the Inari God and the deities brought in by it, Amaterasu from Gao Tianyuan, and the Yaoyorozu no Tenjinshu under it, are all paying close attention to this matter.

While Chen Yu might temporarily show mercy, mindful of fraternal ties and would not deal harshly with him, other forces would definitely not allow him to fail the entire plan just due to emotional guilt.

So whether Inomata Naoki is willing or not, he will develop feelings for Minami, creating a romantic relationship between a human and a spirit, breaking taboos and the boundary of life and death.

And to achieve this… all that is needed is for Chen Yu to remind him and Minami of everything they went through in their dream, and it would all fall into place naturally.

The only reason Chen Yu hasn’t done this yet is that there are still some things not prepared.

And while all forces are earnestly preparing for the impending divine war, Chen Yu also sought out his disciple, intending to arrange his disciple’s future.

“Teacher, why did you call me today?” Misumi Mikoto asked Chen Yu, getting to the point after some small talk.

Recently, Misumi Mikoto made rapid progress in necromancy, not only building her own necromantic space but also completing a class change with the help of the Chitose Sisters, becoming a Legendary-rank Necromancer, advancing at a pace that could almost match Chen Yu’s.

Chen Yu was naturally very satisfied with his disciple’s performance, which was why he wanted to arrange Misumi Mikoto’s future before his deification.

“I wanted to ask about your future plans. Previously, because of the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug patent, the Americans promised to build a world-class research institute overseas for me, and it is nearly completed. Soon, Hiromi and I will move there for work. If you want to come with us, I’ll save a place for you at the research institute,” Chen Yu said to Misumi Mikoto, first addressing her mundane career options: “If you don’t want to work overseas, then I can leave the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory in Tokyo to you. Of course, if you’d like to continue staying at UDI, that’s fine too. I’ll use my connections at the Ministry of Health and Welfare to make you the deputy director of UDI. Director Kamikura is getting older, and in a few years, you’ll be able to take over his position.”

“Teacher, what’s going on? Why does it sound like you’re arranging your last wishes?” Misumi Mikoto caught onto something odd from Chen Yu’s words.

“Nothing much, just that I’m preparing for deification, and once I complete the deification ritual, I likely won’t stay in Japan anymore. As my only disciple, I need to ensure your prospects are settled,” said Chen Yu nonchalantly, looking at Misumi Mikoto.
