Of course this is not the most critical issue.
Why did Luo Jiangshenshuijime become the leader of the monster group, and why did she build a shrine in Mount Osore and plan to completely open the gate of hell?
The first is the instinctive behavior of evil creatures who want to destroy humanity, which we will not discuss for now, and the other is to resurrect the Dark God.
Luo Jiangshen Shuiji, who has successfully created a clone of the Dark God, now has two alternative plans to resurrect the Dark God.
The Yellow Soul Orb · Light possesses holy power, and the Yellow Soul Orb · Dark possesses devilish power. When light and darkness are combined into one, the Dark God will be able to return to this world.
The Yellow Soul Orb, Light, was snatched from the Green Tribe in the Amazon Basin in northern South America, which had been the guardian of the Yellow Soul Orb, Light for generations, by the Demon Soul Amakusa.
Even though the tribe's strongest fighter, Cham-Cham, fought with all his might, he was still no match for the demon soul Amakusa, and could only watch helplessly as the treasure that they had guarded for generations was taken away.
Now this soul bead is still in the hands of Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji.
As for the other Yellow Soul Orb, Dark, when the American ghosts went to China to seize it, it was accidentally broken and split on the land of Japan, and split into four different orbs that were scattered all over the country.
The Yellow Soul Orb·Dark has another alias, which is called the "Overlord's Egg". In other words, if the four soul beads in the right hand are combined into one, it is actually the Yellow Soul Orb·Dark.
After divination, Luo Jiang Shenshuiji confirmed that the guardian of Suzaku who corresponded to the power of the Red Soul Orb, the extremely powerful Yoshinosuke Kagami, had died under the power of Suzaku.
Although Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji had already sensed something was wrong when she felt the power of Suzaku descending hundreds of kilometers away, she still felt a strong sense of unreality after confirming it this time.
After returning from the battle with the right side through the body of the American ghost, Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji divined that he wanted to seize all four soul beads, and the result was the blood-red bold words "very bad".
Because now General Luo Shenshuiji has temporarily taken control of the Gate of Hell, and through the Four Spirit Seals on the gate she can more clearly sense the movements of the four soul beads.
It's obvious that he is with that group of humans!
The other part of the Yellow Soul Orb was delivered to the door on its own initiative. If it were the previous Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji sneered and asked her men to intercept them, kill them all, and revive the Dark God, but this time the blood-red great evil lingered in her mind, and uneasy feelings continued to grow.
I'm afraid I have to choose the second method, that is, Gintama fragments.
As one of the most powerful priestesses in the world, Luo Jiangshen Shuiji is very clear about what the power contained in the Gintama fragments can do. Using it to replace the Yellow Soul Orb·Ancheng as one of the materials to resurrect the Dark God is indeed a feasible way, but the problem is that if incomplete Gintama fragments are used, even if it is forcibly resurrected, the soul of the Dark God will be incomplete when he descends into the body.
Although Luo Jiangshen Shuiji is a servant of the Dark God and can do anything, she has her own self and does not want to be eaten as a tonic by the resurrected Dark God right away.
After a period of collection, the number of fragments in Luo Jiang Shenshuiji's hand once reached a similar amount to the current amount in his right hand. However, in order to allow Amakusa to use the ultra-long-distance transmission ability, he still gave him some fragments. As a result, he lost it in the last battle of Izumo Mountain, and this time he even forcibly resisted the summoning!
Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji was very annoyed, but also somewhat helpless. The Demon Soul Tenma could indeed resist her forced summoning.
But then again, there really wasn't much time left for her.
Based on the information feedback from the demon shikigami, Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji already knew that the steel monster that was moving away from the unknown source had officially entered the Mutsu region. There was no demon that could stop its progress along the way, and judging from the route it was moving, it was clearly heading directly for the Hell Shrine...
Holding a Gintama fragment about one-third the size in one hand and the Yellow Soul Orb Light in the other, Luo brought Kamisuihime to the center of the entire shrine, which is also the location of the Gate of Hell. He stared at the Dark God Body placed in front of the door, struggling slightly in his heart.
Soon after.
The people in the giant locomotive beast that was rushing forward in the physical sense were suddenly startled and couldn't help but stick their heads out to look at Mount Osorezan not far away.
At the same time, a large amount of white mist erupted from the crater lake at the top of Mount Osor!
Chapter 768: Natural Disaster
The water level of the crater lake on the top of Mount Osorezan is dropping rapidly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. A large number of bubbles are emerging above the water surface, and a large amount of water vapor is forming.
At the same time, sulfur gas ejected from sulfur vents formed in the surrounding area due to past volcanic activity mixed with a large amount of steam, causing the originally pure white water vapor mass to turn into a light yellow color.
In sharp contrast to the violent eruption of gas are the pure white sand beaches surrounding the crater lake and a large number of large and small tombstones scattered randomly on the beach.
There is a strange tranquility in the horror. If someone witnessed this scene with their own eyes, they would definitely think that this is the legendary Yellow Spring.
As one of the three major spiritual places, the thing that is most lacking here is ghosts wandering around.
At this moment, both ordinary wandering souls and mutated evil spirits were involuntarily drifting towards the center of the lake where the water was madly evaporating.
The water vapor that is extremely harmful to living things is of zero significance to these evil spirits. They are now attracted by something in the center of the lake.
Huge amounts of water vapor drifted irregularly, occasionally revealing what they were covering.
A shrine in the center of the lake, the so-called Osoreyama Hell Shrine.
It is not uncommon to build a shrine on the sea or in the center of a lake, but looking at the scene before us, the Osoreyama Hell Shrine is built right in the center of the crater! This is absolutely unique!
When all the water in the lake evaporates, it is likely that the volcano will erupt again.
Different from those soul bodies, the various demons and demonized creatures scattered near the foot of Mount Osorezan, which were summoned by General Luo Shenshuiji, had quite a big reaction.
Some highly intelligent monsters are better off, they can barely stay calm and don't cause trampling or anything like that, but it's different with the demonized creatures, they are still living creatures after all, they have not become monsters, they are wandering between monsters and animals, the instincts of living creatures still exist in their bodies.
The result was that these demonized creatures were the first to run away.
The animals' instincts are telling them that the volcano is about to erupt.
Natural disaster is coming!
In this era, when natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis occur, people usually think that it is the anger of God or the punishment of God. No matter whether it is a human, an animal, or a demon, there is only one thing they can do.
That is, escape.
"Oh~Fuck~"
The group of people on the right looked at the horrific scene before the volcanic eruption from afar and couldn't help but shout out the standard two-character classic.
Although Youfang had witnessed many, many more spectacular sights than this, such as the arrival of a flesh-and-blood pregnant mother, the explosion of the core planet of a mechanical life form, the destruction of an asteroid with one's own hands, etc., this was really the first time he had seen with his own eyes the precursor to this horrific natural disaster unfolding.
This can be proved not only by the scene before our eyes, but also by the various monsters that ignored the movement of the Big Locomotive Beast and began to flee from Mount Osorezan in large numbers.
Except for the players, the expressions of everyone else in the carriage had lost their color. Many of them wanted to say something but hesitated, but did not dare to speak their minds directly because of the actions of the people on their right.
In the eyes of most NPCs, natural disasters are equivalent to the wrath of God. They have never seen what a real volcanic eruption looks like, but the scene before them has completely frightened them.
Although the guardians who inherited the power of the four spirits understood what the natural disaster was, they did not want to face the boiling magma and suffocating dust with their own bodies.
The magma emitted by a volcanic eruption is visible to the naked eye and can be avoided, but the volcanic ash sprayed out along with the eruption is the real culprit that causes the painful deaths of people within dozens of miles.
To the earth itself, volcanic ash is certainly harmless, but to humans and other animals, the tiny rocks, minerals, and glass contained in it will seriously damage the respiratory system of life. In this era where there is no way to accurately cure the disease, it is no different from being sentenced to death.
Those on the right more or less know about the various dangerous points of volcanic eruptions. This group of people has acquired a wealth of knowledge beyond their studies.
"Big Locomotive! Turn around! Stay away from this area!"
Of course, the right side would not insist on letting the big locomotive beast take a group of people to die, so he decisively modified the order.
After blowing the whistle, the big locomotive monster also did a rather exaggerated tail swing, drawing a big arc and then turning its butt toward Mount Osorezan.
Many NPCs breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time the person on the right and several players were preparing to climb onto the roof of the car.
"I'll ask the Big Locomotive Beast to take you away. We can fly over here."
The person who said this did not show any worry about the volcanic eruption on his face, but instead received worried and puzzled looks from the NPCs.
"Don't you want to die?! That's the wrath of the God of Nature!"
Nakolu, who was originally praying to the God of Nature to ask what had happened, suddenly opened her eyes and spoke to the right in an anxious tone.
Near Nakolu, the blond ninja Galford, who was holding the ninja dog Bob with its tail between his legs, looked at Nakolu with a puzzled expression, raised his hand, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
But at this time, Asakura Ye interrupted.
"If I remember correctly, the volcanic lake on the top of Mount Osorezan should be a dead volcano. This means that the eruption precursors that only active volcanoes have now appeared must have been affected by external forces."
"Yeah, I thought so too. After all, the place where the steam erupted is the location where I confirmed Luojiang Shenshuiji is. It should be the location of the Osorezan Hell Shrine. Maybe the Gate of Hell is also there. Otherwise, why would this volcano erupt when we arrived here instead of earlier? It must have triggered some plot."
The right side nodded in agreement.
The things said in the second half on the right were blocked by the system, but everyone heard clearly the explanation of the location of the Hell Shrine and the Hell Gate in the front.
However, this only aroused further panic in everyone's hearts, and also gave some inspiration to old men like Hua Fengyuan Hezhong and Xuanwu Zhiweng.
The only beings who can actively trigger divine punishment are gods, which means...
boom! ! !
Along with a large amount of black volcanic ash, red magma burst out from the top of Mount Osorezan!
At the same time, the Four Spirits information cards in Youfang's hand and the three Four Spirits guardians in the carriage all resonated with some kind of power.
At the top of the sky where magma and volcanic ash burst out at the same time, a strange scene appeared, as if a black hole was suspended in the air, and the sky seemed to have a big hole in it.
The roar of a dragon, the cry of a bird, the howl of a tiger and the cry of a turtle, four different sounds came out from the hole in the sky!
And below it, six gigantic human arms actually broke out from the splashing volcanic ash and magma!
Players received expedited prompts from the system.

Chapter 769 Dark God and Yellow Dragon
The big locomotive beast on the right and its friends and family members escaped in their own ways.
Youfang naturally rode on his beloved Black King Flying Wing. Although he could also float, he felt that the more energy he could save, the better.
Kurama has increased his demonic aura to the extreme, transforming into a proud silver-haired fox demon. At the same time, two pairs of wings with butterfly and plant properties appeared on his back. With a flapping sound, he caught up with the Black King's tail.
Hanabishi Rehuo's behavior is exactly the same as Kurama's. It is obvious that this butterfly wing-like plant must have been researched by the two of them together.
In addition to a cat claw necklace hanging around Asakura Ye's neck, she also has a bracelet made of various small parts such as feathers, animal claws, tortoise shells, etc. The feathers are the main part of the bracelet, and magical power is infused into it to form a huge bird-like super spirit that is strong enough to carry Asakura Ye on its back and fly.
Shirou Emiya was really awesome, he actually rode a white Pegasus!
This thing is not on the same level as the Black King on the right, which is essentially a chimera. It is a real mythical beast borrowed from Medusa!
Although no one knows how Emiya managed to handle Medusa and Pegasus at the same time, he is now really riding them.
As for the other new players, they seemed to have no flying ability, so the group on the right didn't pay attention to them for a while, but they still jumped out of the car, probably because they didn't want to miss such a spectacular scene.
It would be a mistake to expect a group of players who are not afraid of death and will not actually die to have the same idea as NPCs.
Mount Osorezan is still magnificent.
The mountain collapsed.
As the magma erupted, many parts of the mountain showed explosion phenomena like those produced by the internal explosion of high explosives, except that what flew out along with various rocks was red magma emitting white smoke.
All the creatures currently in this area are fleeing in panic. Although it will take some time for the magma to flow to the foot of the mountain, the flying stones with a little magma on them have become the most terrifying stray bullets on the battlefield.
As these burning rocks fell throughout the woodland below, wildfires began.
However, compared with these volcanic eruptions that represent one of the greatest disasters in nature, the most noteworthy phenomenon is the one occurring at the center of the summit of Mount Osorezan.
The gigantic demon with six arms treated the magma as nothing and was struggling to climb out of the crater using all six hands.
And in the hole in the center of the sky, the distinctive howls of the four spirits finally converged together, forming an extremely special dragon roar that was not loud but seemed to be transmitted to everyone's brain at the same time.
A man wearing a white long gown with ethnic characteristics from somewhere unknown, with a headdress on his head that looked like long hair and was carefully woven with animal horns and hair. He was holding a ceremonial tool in his hand that looked like a sword but not a sword, and like a staff but not a staff, with most of his face almost covered.
Youfang observed all this from afar with his clairvoyance, and also received a more detailed explanation from the system.
[Regional BOSS - The Ruined Dark God, an individual created by Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji using the "Yellow Soul Orb·Light" and "Gintama Fragment" to forcibly summon the soul of the Dark God and place it in the clone of the current Dark God. However, due to the incomplete power of the sacrifice, the soul of the Dark God that descended was also missing.
The Dark God was modeled after a Buddha statue. His descended soul lost the memory of magic and the left leg of his soul, thus becoming the "ruined Dark God."
The Dark God that emerged from the magma pool looked quite strange. If the system hadn't given an explanation, Youfang would even have thought it was a statue of Nio or Buddha. However, its expression was indeed in line with the hideousness unique to dark creatures. At the same time, its body, which was almost the same size as EVA Unit-01, was missing a left leg. Standing on one leg with his upper body slightly tilted, the Dark God looked very balanced. If he had six hands, perhaps losing a leg would not be a big problem, right?
However, the Dark God's Buddha-like face immediately turned to the sky, that is, the strange creature that fell from the sky.
I also looked to the right.
[Regional BOSS——the demented Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon’s status is above the Four Spirit Guardians. Since ancient times, the Yellow Dragon has existed together with the Four Spirits and protected the entire world. It was the Yellow Dragon that first sealed the Gate of Hell. The Four Yang Spirits and the Yin Yellow Dragon constitute the balance of time.
Because the player "Tono Shiki" killed the Suzaku guardian "Kashinosuke", the yin and yang forces were unbalanced, and the power of the Yellow Dragon that was entrenched in hell was forced to flow to the side where the four spirits were missing, causing its own strength to drop sharply, and then it was dominated by the eternal power of hell that was forcibly stimulated by Luo Jiang Shenshuiji.
Huang Long's body was temporarily controlled, but his spirit struggled to resist the control of the ordinary power in the depths of his mind, resulting in the current "demented Huang Long" being sealed with some of his techniques in disguise. 】
