True Magician

Chapter 150

Kyoto.

About an hour after the incident with Cao Cao, I was sitting in the familiar guest room, and Sun Wukong was smoking his pipe across from me, clearly studying me and my aura.

Yasaka was in her chambers, still asleep, and her life was not in danger.

Kunou and the palace servants were watching over her, while the demons and Azazel had returned to the hotel they had rented for their stay in Kyoto. Jeanne and Heracles were locked in dungeons under the palace, now awaiting the verdict of Yasaka or Ama-chan herself. However, Heracles definitely didn't care, as he was already a brainwashed puppet.

I made a cup of coffee and took a sip.

- "So, what an interesting guest has visited Kyoto, and at such a time," I began. "As I understand it, Indra is disappointed in Cao Cao?

As far as I remember, Indra sent Sun Wukong to watch over Cao Cao, because the Hindu god was helping the Hero Faction and intended to use them to wage war against Shiva. After all, the True Longinus, which was now in my possession, was a very powerful artifact, the strongest among the other Longinus spears.

In the canon, more or less the same thing happened, and the spear ceased to obey Cao Cao, which Indra was not particularly pleased about. But then the pseudo-hero could have regained the True Longinus and even participated in the 'Cup of Azazel', unlike the current circumstances, and now it is unknown what fate awaits Cao Cao.

However, I didn't care. Cao Cao must appear again, and if that is not meant to happen, then so be it.

- "So, you know about that too? He will be there, and I don't think Cao Cao should hope for a lenient outcome," Sun Wukong said calmly. "Cao Cao interfered with the negotiations with Amaterasu and Yasaka, and Indra sent me here for two reasons. And both of them were related to you, one indirectly and the other directly.

- "To watch me, huh?" I grinned, and he nodded in agreement. "If he wants to talk, let him come to me himself. I'm sure he's aware of recent events, and I'd be surprised if he remained indifferent.

- "Yes, he knows that the Biblical faction is now under your command. And he will pay you a visit, for everyone knows of his desire to defeat Shiva," said Sun Wukong. "But in order to negotiate, one must understand who one's enemy is, and that is why he wanted to observe you first."

- "For a god of war and 'King of Gods,' he is quite reasonable and sensitive.

- "That's why I respect him," agreed Sun Wukong. "And I'm starting to respect you too."

- "As you wish," I shrugged.

- "You are indifferent to Cao Cao, but at the same time you are aware of the power you possess and how to use it.

I think that's why the world still exists as it is.

I smiled.

Technically, he's right, because the limitations of the plot haven't gone anywhere. However, even if they weren't there, I doubt I would have used Solomon and Goetia's power to its fullest extent. Like, I also want to live in a relatively normal world.

- "In any case, tell him that I'm not averse to talking to him if he observes basic norms of decency," I said and stood up. "I'm going, I didn't get much sleep last night, unfortunately."

- "Women, I presume?"

- "You have no idea," I chuckled and teleported, but not home, just somewhere else.

He rarely takes the initiative, so I was curious what he had in mind. Besides, I doubt I'll be able to sleep with Morgan and Tia around. At least not tonight.
