Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 222: I don't need a long time to conquer

Tamazuki sat on the throne inside the castle while trying to feel a new power that entered his body.

He had just used [Balaam] on the Deep Sea King and devoured everything.

Whether it was the abilities, traits, memories, experiences, or other things, he got all of them.

Still, while others might think that he was only interested in the ability of the Deep Sea King that made him able to breathe and become stronger on the water, he was also checking the Deep Sea King's memory.

How were they born?

Were they like him, born from the talk and fear of the people?

Or were they born at the whim of God?

God...

This single word made him wonder.

Naturally, like in his original world, he knew that God existed.

The creator of this world existed.

Yet, what did God want to do?

He didn't know, but it didn't matter since whatever God wanted to do had nothing to do with him.

His original purpose in this world had never changed: to become stronger.

By getting his hands on Saitama's secret power, and various heroines, he achieved all of that, but was that enough? No.

Probably because he was a youkai, he always followed his emotions.

He was greedy for power almost morbidly.

The only reason why he could calm down was because of his logic.

He might be as powerful as Saitama now, but was he as powerful as God?

Probably, if God was willing to come out, Saitama's existence might have been erased already.

Because of this... it shuddered him.

The thought of him fighting a God was something that existed from the beginning.

The Fate and everything that was born in this world had been set by God.

Who would lose? Who would win? Who was the lucky one? Who was the unfortunate one?

Everything had been written in a colossal storybook written by God.

All the living beings in the present lived and moved according to the story of God.

The God, high above everyone, only watched his story calmly, watching everything move accordingly.

It was like him, who was beaten by Nura Rikuo in the original story.

Yet, similar to Saitama, who was like a bug, Tamazuki also became a bug that existed in this story.

His existence shouldn't exist.

In this story, his existence should be something that was born to make the protagonist stronger, yet he rebelled and became an existence that was going to fight against his fate.

Suddenly, he wanted to return, so he could beat the shit out of Nurarihyon somehow.

Moreover, in this world, he thought of a particularly crazy idea.

Devour God.

When he thought about this possibility, he felt his body shudder.

If he was a Tanuki like before, he might not have thought of this possibility, but he had become Heavenly Dog.

So it was possible for him to devour a God.

"Inugami-sama."

Then, he looked at the number of Seafolks in front of him. While he had devoured the Deep Sea King, it didn't mean he had devoured the rest, or rather, it was useless to devour them since even if he devoured them, he wouldn't give him anything. It was the same with the Subterranean People that had appeared in the ghost town previously.

He might have devoured the king and also got the lava-like swords, but he kept the Subterranean People, telling them to continue to live, waiting for the day he called for them.

It was the same with the Seafolks in front of him.

Instead of devouring all of them, he might as well make them his subordinates.

Moreover, even if he was a human in his previous life, he had become a monster, so instead of being afraid of the existence of monsters, he wanted to take care of them more.

After all, not only humans are the only ones that need human rights.

A monster also needs a right!

The Seafolks also didn't mind following him, especially when they saw that he was a monster instead of a human. Still, even if he was a human, it didn't matter since power was most important for being a monster's leader.

As long as one's power was enough, everything was okay.

However, Tamazuki's identity as a monster made them relieved since they knew he was the same as them.

The only difference was that he was more handsome.

Still, because of this, they wanted to marry him and their daughters.

"........"

While Tamazuki was speechless, frankly, he wasn't sure why he decided to take care of them, especially when he just wanted to become stronger, but he felt that it wasn't bad to make a power in this world.

This world was full of resources, so having subordinates was necessary.

"You go to the surface and talk with the Subterranean People. They are also my people. I will tell you..."

Tamazuki talked about his plans, and all of them agreed.

While they were confident in their power, if they could become stronger, why not?

"Inugami-sama, if you want to gather our power, then we might as well conquer the Skyfolk."

"Skyfolk? Does such a race exist?"

"Of course."

All of them knew his ambition, so they did their best to help him.

Unlike the Subterranean People that stayed underground and didn't communicate with others, the Seafolk knew many things since the sea was vast.

"Skyfolk, huh?"

He looked up and used his "Argos," "The Eye of God" magic that made him able to see everything.

While it took a while, he found the location of the Skyfolk.

Frankly, the shape of those races was unique, and they fit with the description of the mysterious beings.

Still, while the shape of the Subterranean People was like a humanoid monster, and the Seafolk was like ocean-based creatures with limbs, the Skyfolk was like a tengu.

The humanoid crow-like monster appeared in a Japanese myth.

"I will conquer it now."

Saying those words, he suddenly disappeared and went to the living place of the Skyfolk.

However, all the Seafolk were speechless.

Was he going to conquer the Skyfolk? Just like this? They thought that he was going to bring them, but he was going there by himself.

Suddenly, they felt confused, but then ten minutes later, he returned. "I have conquered the Skyfolk. Go to the surface and talk with each other." Leaving those words, he left.

"......."

The Seafolks looked at each other and stopped thinking since it was too much for their understanding.

Nevertheless, Tamazuki thought that it was his time to go back. He had been in this world for a while, and he might as well return home now, but then, he saw a door for the new world appear.

Frankly, this new door had appeared in the beginning when he saved that little girl in the early chapter, but he ignored it since he wanted to take down the main heroines.

However, he knew that he had gone for a while.

Still, he didn't think the Nura Clan and his group were going to war since he knew the plot needed him.

If he didn't return, the plot where Nura Rikuo fought him and his group, then defeated him wouldn't even exist.

So unless he returned, nothing would ever start.

If it was before, he might not have been able to do this, but as he grew stronger, he could have affected the timeline of his original world.

Still, the journey to become strong almost made him addicted, so should he go to a new world again?
