At the same time, a strange and immense energy was circulating within him, moving in accordance with his thoughts.

Demonic Power…

Gu Mo knew what this was, but unfortunately, the mechanism that consumes Lan couldn't be exploited. He could use this extra Demonic Power, but it only increased the consumption of his own stamina. He couldn't use it to replace the expenditure of stamina because, ultimately, this power wasn't his. He couldn't hack it to make Possession Fusion an internal loop perpetual motion machine.

Fusion with the Guardian Spirit…

Borrow the strength of the Guardian Spirit…

And then use the Guardian Spirit's power to pay for the costs of fusion…

Such an idea was even more excessive than a capitalist, but fortunately, it couldn't be realized, not because the Nine-tailed objected, but because of the nature of the Guardian Spirit. It required the host to pay a price to establish a channel for the power to enter the present world, and there was no way to avoid this cost.

Putting aside this somewhat regrettable idea, he didn't need to consider protection for the time being. He simply began to focus intently on attacking.

Gu Mo's body was engulfed in an illusory flame, a massive beam shining from his hand like a laser, tearing through the air with a dull roar, efficiently and swiftly slaughtering the hoards of demons surging towards him like a tide. He also occasionally glanced at the nearby tall building, having noticed the presence of the impoverished deity.

Why is that person just watching…

Even if I'm not under any immediate pressure, shouldn't you lend a hand? You're getting by in this city too, after all!

......

"So, so strong…"

With twitching lips, Yato watched from the skyscraper at the battlefield below, practically turned into a slaughtering assembly line, feeling a mix of emotions. He couldn't understand why someone with such exceptional martial prowess would still want to hire him to commit murder on their behalf. Isn't it much more convenient to do it themselves?

Could it be that high-born true deities prefer to make others do tasks they could easily accomplish themselves?

As he speculated wildly, he observed the actions of the unknown god below, the Distinguished Sword in his hand emitting infinite brilliance. When driven to full power, it unleashed sword qi over several feet in length, sweeping away armies with each swing.

The range of the attack was ridiculously large, as any casual swing would clear the entire 180-degree fan-shaped area ahead, instantly wiping out the densely packed demons like a black tide, leaving nothing behind.

What kind of power is this?

What kind of astonishing Divine Artifact is capable of such a display?

Naturally, Yato couldn't let his imagination run wild and connect with the truth, recognizing it as the supreme force from another world. Every Guardian Spirit resembles a powerful god or Great Demon, which chooses to become a person's power, existing as their weapon.

He was merely making connections based on his own concepts and knowledge, assuming it was the gods finding suitable undead, granting named Divine Artifacts, and the power Gu Mo displayed was a natural part of him.

Therefore, this scene did indeed leave him a bit shocked.

In Yato's impression, the strongest Martial God he knew was Visakha, but even their power and Divine Artifact weren't at this level. He could manage natural phenomena with ease… Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hunting him for hundreds of years, and yet he's still alive and kicking.

Could this be a stronger deity? And that sword…

He squinted hard, vaguely seeing the shadow of a massive serpent in the void when the distinguished, radiant Light Saber swung, its dense scales glistening in the dimness, obscuring its full form, but a Divine Artifact associated with serpents…

Wait, could it be that these aren't the current deities' Divine Artifacts transformed by human undead receiving names, but rather the actual Divine Artifacts from the age of gods?

So, this sword is the Heavenly Cloud?!

Then is this person Susanoo or the Venerable Lord Qiongqiong?

Yato's expression changed slightly, immense waves rising in his heart, but upon cooling down, he thought it unlikely… Perhaps it was a War God or Martial God from another country, the divinity somewhat similar, and it made sense he didn't recognize it.

But to come here specifically for one believer, unless that believer was very special, it might just be an extremely protective person.

Gu Mo had no idea what Yato was contemplating, merely puzzled why this guy watched from the sidelines, but he didn't stop to inquire, maintaining his high-efficiency yet monotonous experience grind… Even though it was borrowed power, like transforming into Ultraman, it felt incredibly exhilarating.

He finally understood why William could slaughter gods and buddhas along the way; the Guardian Spirit was undoubtedly the greatest feature of the Nioh World, the most bug-like existence… Though it also resembled Ultraman-like disadvantages, it didn't affect its advantages at all.

—Everyone knows Ultraman's transformation lasts only three minutes, but within those three minutes, Ultraman is absolutely strong, isn't that enough?! After unleashing this ultimate move, his combat power multiplied several times over. If he relied solely on his own strength, a hundred of him might have been torn apart instantly.
