After opening the door, the golden-haired Valkyrie outside had a complex expression on her face: "You were right... they just passed me a message, it seems that the Puppet Demon Mage has his eyes on them."

"I see... things are going quite smoothly. I thought we would at least have to wait a few more days for such an opportunity, but didn't expect him to take the bait so quickly."

Gu Mo laughed immediately: "Then let's go according to what I told you, Lord Visakha. After this task, you won't owe me anything... Hmm, don't have such a tight expression. It's just a mere Puppet Demon Mage, nothing to fear... ah, spit, spit, spit, that's really unlucky!"

He just wanted to comfort the other party, but almost accidentally jinxed it.

"What's unlucky? Can't you say things like that?" Visakha couldn't help but frown, not quite understanding why the other party was so superstitious; it seemed like such a simple statement without the power of Word Spirit or a curse. Where did this belief come from?

"Of course, especially since you are a golden-haired character, it's best not to say such things."

Gu Mo nodded in agreement, glancing once again at her head full of golden hair. If, in the upcoming battle tonight, this golden-haired Valkyrie were to get her head bitten off by a Masked Demon, it would be a real disaster.

Following that, Visakha didn't hesitate much, or rather this matter was not something she could decide, so eventually, she embarked on her mission and went to the High Celestial Plain to report the news alone.

Because all the Divine Artifacts were not by her side but in someone else's hands, she could only act according to someone's plan, putting all the blame on the Puppet Demon Mage currently going by the name Fujisaki Kouta... and the reason was ready-made—

She, due to personal grudge, pursued Yato, entered his territory, and accidentally discovered the clues regarding the High Celestial Plain's long-time top fugitive, then being unprepared, was captured by the opponent... Fortunately, her Divine Artifact was loyal, found an opportunity, and helped her escape from prison.

Seizing this opportunity, she decisively returned to the High Celestial Plain for help—

The High Celestial Plain, as the world where the Gods dwell, corresponds to the Human World, but internally the time flows much faster than in the Human World, and only those Gods with Shrines and "Heavenly Register" can freely move between the High Celestial Plain and the Human Realm.

But precisely because of the difference in time flow, as long as the High Celestial Plain reacted quickly enough, the Puppet Demon Mage wouldn't have time to realize she had already escaped to deliver the message. This time gap, if utilized well, would be enough for the High Celestial Plain to deliver a heavy blow to him before he could react.

——It could be called a flawless statement.

Furthermore, the most important thing was that the situations matched on both sides— The reason Gu Mo had Visakha's Divine Artifacts detained at Yato's place was because he knew it would expose sooner or later, and once Yato's father discovered this group, who knows what thoughts he might have.

It was just a moment ago, following the previously agreed plan, her Divine Artifact notified her of this matter...

Since the master could sense the mental state of the Divine Artifact and could be influenced by it, using this mechanism, simple information could be conveyed...

So, was this guy secretly waiting for the Puppet Demon Mage to take the bait all along? Before entering the High Celestial Plain, Visakha seriously recalled and always felt that the moment she was defeated and captured, someone had already arranged the role for her and her Divine Artifact.

A great web had formed quietly at that time, spreading unknowingly...

Also, what was the actual relationship between Yato and that Puppet Demon Mage, and why was he certain that placing the Divine Artifacts with Yato would surely lead the other party to discover and take the bait?

Many questions still churned in her mind, and Visakha's expression was very grave. Although the Puppet Demon Mage had always been a chronic problem for the High Celestial Plain, having survived for hundreds of years without being eradicated, from what she had recently seen and heard—

There was an even more ruthless and sinister individual who, unknowingly, had already made the clueless, self-satisfied Demon Mage fall for his trap.

...

"Damn..."

Clenching his fist tightly, the purple-haired, blue-eyed Yato punched the wall hard, an expression of extreme anger on his face.

Just not long ago, in the silent hours of the night, his "father" suddenly appeared without warning and forcibly took away the group of Divine Artifacts belonging to Visakha that he was guarding... He wanted to stop this, but had no way to.

To be honest, Yato really didn't like this matter and also thought about how to escape it, but what he couldn't stand even more was his "father's" attitude and actions, which forever demanded his obedience and compliance, never considering his will or what he desired, treating him like a tool.

"Are you angry with your father?"

A puzzled voice came from behind. Wearing a Celestial Crown and dressed in a kimono, Fei stood in the deserted alley at night, seemingly not understanding Yato's emotions.

Yato's expression was somber, and without turning his head, he said, "Yes, you surely wouldn't understand..."

Fei wouldn't understand; she was just a tool. No matter how many names were engraved on her, she was only loyal to her "father"... Just like this time, it was she who noticed the issue, then informed her "father," leading him to joyously rush over and take away all the Divine Artifacts.
