Chương 580: -573- Descending a true god
According to the modern Common-Style definition, Servent-type are mostly spiritual disasters, formed by the distortion and gathering of natural spiritual energy. Even gods fall under this category.
However, the latter are higher spiritual entities, and to date, there haven't been any known naturally formed examples. Even the study of gods by Imperial-style practitioners is far from perfect or comprehensive.
Only rituals like the "Taizan Fukun Ritual" can establish a connection and allow communication or utilization of their power.
As symbols of the sun and moon in Onmyoudou, the Kinu and Gyokuto cannot be ordinary spiritual entities. They are part of the eight million gods, true higher spiritual beings, in other words—gods.
If it were the genuine Kinu and Gyokuto, bringing down their spiritual essence to form shikigami would be an act of summoning deities.
This kind of feat, even within the Imperial-style, has no successful method found to date. At best, there are experimental approaches.
Naturally, Yakou, like others, cannot achieve this easily. Thus, whether it's Raven's Wing or Moon Wheel, they are only shikigami crafted in imitation of the legendary Kinu and Gyokuto. They aren't formed by summoning deities.
Instead, they are stabilized by artificially activating the spiritual veins, causing spiritual disasters, and shaping them into a similar spiritual existence.
Rozen now wants to do something similar—artificially activate the spiritual veins, cause a spiritual disaster, use the curse tools as a medium and core to bring down their spiritual essence, then stabilize them, ultimately creating shikigami.
This method is incredibly perilous, not only due to the difficulty of the ritual. As Suzuka mentioned, performing such an act at this time could be seen as a precursor to a spiritual disaster or a terrifying attack, potentially alerting the Exorcism Division and the Mystical Investigation Department, possibly branding Rozen as a perpetrator of jujutsu crimes.
Rozen, however, is still prepared.
"I can't say it's a hundred percent guaranteed to succeed, but at least I have memories and knowledge of potential success in my mind. To prevent a spiritual disaster, I've made thorough preparations. In case of failure, I have a way to suppress it. So, rest assured, it won't turn into a third spiritual disaster terror attack," Rozen said with a slight smile.
"Besides, to avoid detection by the Exorcism Division and the Mystical Investigation Department, we've made ample preparations here, haven't we?"
To prevent damage to the surroundings caused by the ritual, Rozen had already set up high-level barriers in the vicinity.
"If we use the 'Eight Array Barrier,' it should be enough to stop the leakage of miasma and prevent the spiritual disaster from running rampant, right?" Rozen said this way.
———The 'Eight Array Barrier.'
It's a supreme technique in the 'Tonko Arts,' one of the highest-level barriers. Its purpose is to seal spiritual disasters above Phase 3. It's relatively rare within the Exorcism Division and is generally not used against humans. It's praised as an incredibly strong barrier that cannot be easily destroyed from the inside, capable of trapping even Phase 4 entities. It's especially useful in this kind of situation.
Normally, to form the 'Eight Array Barrier,' you'd need eight proficient exorcists positioned at eight corners, each activating the technique together. Rozen, however, used a simplified version he generated as an alternative. He multitasked, with eight shikigami mimicking his appearance positioned in eight directions, forming this barrier.
This astonishing technique is probably something only a few onmyoji in the world can achieve, isn't it?
While multitasking on the eight shikigami and controlling them to use the highest-level barrier technique, Rozen also planned to conduct the ritual in this state. Creating legendary-grade shikigami under these conditions is not just a matter of being reckless or not reckless, but rather a matter of acting without careful consideration.
If it weren't for this, Natsume wouldn't be so worried. Even Suzuka had advised him more than once. You can imagine how frightening Rozen's actions are.
But these two girls have no idea that what Rozen is planning to do is even more audacious.
(If I tell them that what I'm preparing to do is not much different from summoning deities, they will definitely object on the spot and stop me without a word.)
Rozen laughed bitterly in his heart.
That's right.
Next, what Rozen is preparing to do is not just as simple as creating Raven's Wing and Moon Wheel.
(Although Yakou's shikigami are made by imitating the Kinu and Gyokuto, it's, at best, an imitation.)
Even before acquiring all the knowledge from Yakou's lifetime and combining it with his own knowledge, Rozen had made up his mind.
(Since we're going to do it, let's do it the best we can.)
In other words...
(I don't want imitations. If I'm going to summon, I'll summon the real Kinu and Gyokuto.)
This is something even Yakou didn't dare to try.
However, Rozen is ready to attempt it.
( After all, I possess not only the knowledge of Onmyoudou but also the knowledge of Summoning Arts. )
In Onmyoudou, descending a god is the highest-level ritual, a kind of spell not fully explored even by Yakou's Imperial-style. Naturally, it's not something to be attempted casually.
However, in Rozen's Summoning Arts, there is a genuine technique for descending a god—'Divine Spirit Summoning.'
(Although I have not fully mastered this technique, and I can't even comprehend a tiny bit of it, if limited to Kinu and Gyokuto, in conjunction with this ritual, to descend only a portion of their spiritual forms, akin to summoning a familiar, not bringing down their true essence, the success rate should be plausible.)"
In other words, Rozen will combine the knowledge of summoning in 'Onmyoudou' with the knowledge of 'Summoning Arts.' In this ritual, he will summon a part of the Kinu and Gyokuto.
Although it's only a part, it's a genuine god, a higher spiritual entity. Maybe it won't reach the height of their true forms in the short term, but with the growth of Rozen's abilities, it's not impossible to reach their true forms in the future.
In this way, the formed Raven's Wing and Moon Wheel are naturally of the highest level. In terms of effects, they are likely much stronger than Yakou's Raven's Wing and Moon Wheel. They might even grow and eventually reach the true godly height.
Rozen is about to perform a miracle here that even Yakou has not touched—the true and genuine ritual of descending a god.
"Although I hope we could prepare a higher-level altar to increase the success rate, our conditions are limited. We'll have to make do with this for now," Rozen said to Natsume and Suzuka.
"Next, I'll rely on both of you to maintain the 'Eight Array Barrier.' Although I have my shikigami maintaining the barrier, with your support, it will be foolproof."
Saying this, Rozen's tone became unequivocal, letting the two girls know that Rozen was determined to carry out this ritual.
"Anyway, since I'm interested in the ritual Yakou conducted in the past, and if you're dead, I'll be free, so let me see what you'll do."
Suzuka ignored Rozen's recklessness and said these words insincerely before pushing herself away.
"...If anything goes wrong, be sure to stop."
Natsume could only say this reluctantly, and then she retreated unwillingly.
Seeing this, Rozen suddenly smiled, turned around, and looked at the altar before him.
In his eyes, an expectant light began to appear.
"Well, let's begin."
The ritual was officially declared to commence.
