"Yes."
Kaoru quickly lowered her head.
However, the fear in her eyes was gone.
Rin had made it very clear.
Susanoo's people would be completely purged, which would inevitably open countless positions in Japan's upper society.
However, Rin would not interfere with personnel arrangements.
In other words, this was a golden opportunity for the Sayanomiya Family.
A stick and a carrot.
If the Sayanomiya Family could seize this opportunity, the so-called Four Great Families of Japan would become a thing of the past.
Only the Sayanomiya Family would govern this country on behalf of the King.
Rin was not worried that the Sayanomiya Family would cause trouble.
What mattered more, power or life?
He believed they understood.
As for Kaoru…
"There is one more thing."
Rin glanced at her and said, "I do not like your clothes. Change into something else."
"Ah?"
Kaoru froze, then seemed to realize something, and a blush immediately rose on her pretty face.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, no."
After she answered, Rin dismissed her, leaving only Yuri with him.
The order had been given. As long as the other three great families were not foolish, they would certainly come to pay their respects.
Then there was the Campione issue.
"Rin-sama."
Yuri had already accepted Rin's purge of the upper society.
Those who would die were the powerful and wealthy, not ordinary people.
She would not speak up for them.
"Will they obey?"
"Of course not."
Rin answered without hesitation.
"Humans always refuse to believe it until it is too late."
"Then…"
"It is fine."
Rin said, "At most, they will invite external help to deal with me."
He did not need to guess what the other three great families would do. They would definitely invite other Campiones to challenge him before coming to see him.
And Rin had been prepared for a long time.
"Marquis Voban…"
Yuri's heart trembled, and that terrifying memory once again enveloped her.
"Do not be afraid, Yuri."
Rin said calmly, "Soon, that wolf king will die by my hand."
Recruiting Campiones was indeed one of Rin's plans in coming to this world.
But not every Campione was worth recruiting.
Salvatore Doni was just a fool.
Luo Hao was a woman full of feudal ideas.
Madame Aisha was a sly, naturally airheaded woman.
Rin was not familiar with the other two and had no interest in them.
Only Marquis Voban. Rin did not plan to recruit this wolf king, and he could not make him submit.
So he could only be killed.
It would also let him avenge Yuri.
"You…"
Yuri felt a little worried.
"Would that not be too dangerous?"
As a young miko, she would not let those around her take risks for her sake.
Moreover, she did not feel she was worth it.
"Slap."
What answered her was Rin's palm landing.
"Do not overthink it."
He stroked her head and said softly, "Since you have become my dependent, then accept my protection."
"Besides, I am not doing it only for you."
"That wolf king is an unstable factor."
"Eliminating him in advance," Rin said, "has only benefits, no drawbacks."
While Rin waited for the three great families to act, giving them time to invite Campiones, in the Netherworld, Susanoo was drinking with a grim expression.
"Damn Rakshasa King, an evil god from outside the domain."
Susanoo's orders had been sent to all four great families at the same time.
He still did not know that the Sayanomiya Family, guarding Tokyo, had already rebelled.
There was no help for it. Rin's actions were too fast.
So fast that as soon as Susanoo left, the Tokyo branch was wiped out.
Before a Campione, human sorcerers were no different from ants.
Immunity to sorcery, the highest level of anti-magic, plus an invincible physique, all of it was simply a nightmare for human cultivators.
Fighting a Campione?
What was the difference between that and seeking death?
"The Seishuuin Family has already contacted the King of Swords in Southern Europe."
Monk Chief Tenkai brought good news, but Susanoo showed no joy and instead shook his head.
"It is not enough."
"The power of The Seventh King has a generational gap compared to other Campiones."
It was hard to imagine that a newly advanced Campione could be so powerful.
"Although the King of Swords is not weak, he is definitely not a match for The Seventh King."
"I need a stronger Campione."
Then there were only two obvious choices, Marquis Voban and Luo Hao.
Of the two, the former had previously come to Japan to seize Hime Miko.
Japan did not dare speak openly of favors, but using this to lure the wolf king should not be a problem.
As long as he was told that Rin possessed the means to continuously summon Heretic Gods, Marquis Voban would definitely rush over at once.
"And that Martial Arts King."
Luo Hao's strength was beyond doubt, and she had a grudge with Japan.
"Tell the Kuhoin Family to prepare to release the Sun Wukong."
To attract Luo Hao, the best bait was Sun Wukong.
"The King of Swords is warlike, the wolf king of Eastern Europe likes to collect Authorities, and the Martial Arts King bears a grudge against Sun Wukong."
With three Campiones gathered, plus Sun Wukong, Susanoo did not believe Rin could remain unmoved.
"Three Kings?"
On the other side, Rin rested with his eyes closed, but Violet's information never stopped.
Soon, half a day passed in a flash.
Good news came from Princess with Glass Eyes.
"The summoning of the Heretic God can proceed at any time."
"Very good."
Rin brought Yuri to Princess with Glass Eyes.
Kaoru was also there.
After all, this venue had been arranged by her.
What surprised Kaoru was that beside Rin, there was even a God Ancestor accompanying him.
Kaoru had never met Princess with Glass Eyes, so she did not know she was Susanoo's ally. She only assumed Rin's power was so immense that he could even subdue a God Ancestor…
