[Leg-Tripping Girl], [Shaking Old Man's Head].
Kei Yamanaka stared at the names of these two skill listings, giving a faintly helpless smile.
The effect of [Leg-Tripping Girl] seems charming, but that's only in a two-dimensional world. In reality, it would likely result in a severe imbalance.
Combine this with an ability that works regardless of strength level, along with a strong "airhead vibe" boost.
This skill is literally a weapon that shatters divine dignity!
Just imagine—
Guy casually flips her cape, exuding full aura, striding forward with killing intent toward Liang Bing, then suddenly face-plants dramatically on flat ground, her foolishness rating skyrockets.
All the prestige Qaisa, Queen of Angels, built over tens of thousands of years?
Probably gone in an instant!
As for [Shaking Old Man's Head], this skill reminded Kei Yamanaka of a saying from his past life.
It may look like an old man shaking his head, but he's actually calling in backup.
This isn't just a simple self-buff skill; rather, it resembles a group invocation technique.
"Good men" here essentially refer to believers.
After summoning spirits, one temporarily gains the power of Generals of Gain and Loss.
The cost? Tremendous consumption of Yuan energy!
It's not that the Generals are absorbing the believers' strength—it's because ordinary humans simply don't exist on the same level as the Generals and can't withstand their power.
"Evil-Slaying Blade—targeted against ghosts, malevolent spirits, and demons?"
Kei read through both skill entries twice.
Theoretically, the power contained within this listing bears some resemblance to [Borrowing an Account to Log In], which he previously integrated into the Primordial Realm.
The difference being—one was about 'borrowing,' while this one is about 'summoning.'
Moreover, [Borrowing an Account to Log In] didn't specify whose power you could borrow—you could establish contracts independently.
That doesn't mean [Shaking Old Man's Head] is weak by comparison.
Quite the opposite—the Generals of Gain and Loss are theoretically immensely powerful. As long as the believer's body can withstand it, the force they unleash is practically a devastating multidimensional attack against most evils!
Plus, the Generals of Gain and Loss can possess three individuals simultaneously.
One General of Loss, one General of Gain, plus a clone of the General of Gain.
If used effectively, [Shaking Old Man's Head] can instantly empower three formidable fighters!
"Summoning spirits... I guess I count as one too..."
Kei rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The underlying power framework of this ability was quite intriguing—if he could master this system,
He could empower his Demon God Agents or anyone he approved to invoke him and wield his power directly.
"System, activate [Shaking Old Man's Head]."
As soon as the words left Kei's lips,
A torrent of knowledge regarding faith and spirit-summoning flooded his mind, swiftly sorted and analyzed by the dimension-overclocked computer.
[Detected blue-tier skill 'Shaking Old Man's Head' compatible with colorful-tier skill 'Primordial Sovereign.' Integrate?]
"Yes!"
The knowledge framework surrounding faith and spirit-invocation was rapidly incorporated into the Primordial Realm.
Further analysis by the Quantum Engine unraveled the underlying power structure behind it completely!
Realization dawned on Kei's face after reading the explanation provided by the Quantum System.
His Demon God Agent wanting to 'summon the god' was a straightforward matter.
Through the contract connection between them, when his Demon God Agent had a request, he could directly channel some of his power through the contract link.
But for those who weren't his Demon God Agents wishing to 'summon the god,'
They either needed to have a mark left by him on their body,
Or they could only use faith-based energy, attempting to establish a connection with him and gain his recognition. This would then allow him to transmit his power across via the bridge formed through belief energy.
Faith-based energy, as one form of mental power,
Was equally immensely powerful.
Gods collected believers' belief energy to strengthen themselves, while believers offered their belief energy in exchange for the god's protective blessings.
It was somewhat similar to the Dimensional Demon God's method of spiritual debt,
But undoubtedly more sophisticated in approach.
"Gathering the belief energy of multitudes, using divine statues and names to target specific deities, employing incantations, incense, offerings, and other special rituals to build a communication channel..."
Kei Yamanaka examined the ritual best suited for contacting him, quickly analyzed by the Quantum Engine, wearing an unusually grotesque expression.
Dressed in silk robes layered over ornate attire, performing a modified version of the Paradise dance.
Could he really be that kind of god?
Well... Forget it...
At least it was better than having them dance to "Because You're So Sweet" or "New Treasure Island."
In traditional spirit-summoning rituals,
Whether it was burning incense, kowtowing, spirit dancing, shrine maiden Kagura dances, or Nuo opera exorcism performances by shamans,
They were all forms of ritual.
The stronger and purer the belief energy, the closer one stood to the deity, the fewer steps the ritual required; conversely, the more complex the ceremony became.
As a dimensional divine being,
Any world where Kei Yamanaka had established a World Portal connection to his own dimension,
As long as sufficient belief energy was used to initiate the ritual,
He would immediately sense it.
After pondering for a moment, Kei Yamanaka rubbed his chin thoughtfully and transmitted his own 'Spirit-Summoning Ritual' through countless World Portals within the Primordial Realm into the 'Divine Statuette Talismans' scattered across various worlds.
——————
In the Ninja World,
Tsunade, Kushina, Hikaku Uchiha, Miroku, Pakura, and others simultaneously looked toward the divine statuette talismans hanging from their chests,
Feeling the information pouring into their minds through the statues.
Tsunade rolled her eyes repeatedly. She hadn't even started taunting yet—had Kei Yamanaka been feeling parched lately, and why was he sending this out now?
Before she could start, Kushina and the others had already burst through the door to her office.
"Onee-san Tsunade, let's get started! Come on, let's do it! We just happen to have Big Bro Shikaku mention earlier that we should prepare a Divine Festival! It's meant to unite people's hearts!"
"I'm the Hokage! Hikaku, don't speak!"
Her temple pulsing with visible veins,
Tsunade pressed down first on Hikaku, who appeared eager to say something.
Hikaku pouted slightly, quietly moving closer to Kushina, her actions clearly showing she supported Kushina.
Shrine Maiden Miroku looked at the chaos unfolding before her and smiled faintly.
She pulled along Pakura, sighing in exasperation and covering her face,
Both stepping behind Kushina as well.
Seeing their antics, Tsunade looked absolutely flustered, scratching her head in frustration for what felt like ages before finally speaking again.
"I'm the Hokage... This is just too embarrassing!"
"Don't worry, Tsunade-sama," said Miroku, the shrine maiden, taking over the conversation. "It'll be a beautiful Kagura ritual dance. And if you're feeling shy, we can have only female parishioners present during the performance."
"Oh! Should we ask Kei to create a 'miracle' too? Like make it rain? When a deity makes an appearance, there should be divine miracles, right?"
Kushina's delicate fingers tapped at her chin.
"Change the plan. The base's drainage system has been under enough pressure lately."
Hikaku Uchiha turned to look at Pakura standing beside her.
Recently, since Pakura hadn't gone on duty in the Land of Wind and had stayed at headquarters of the Five Spirit Ninja Army, it had practically rained every two days—light rain every other day, heavy storms every third day. The drainage system was nearly overwhelmed.
"...Don't look at me like that. I really am trying my best to avoid going outside."
Pakura sighed. She didn't want this either!
But who could blame her for being the [Heaven's Ladle]?
The moment she stepped outside, it would start raining!
"I'm the Hokage..."
Tsunade sat in her office chair, speechless as she looked up at the ceiling.
Since when did her position as Hokage start transforming into that of a shrine maiden?
——————————————
In the Demon Slayer Realm.
With many ghosts vanishing and few new ones emerging, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps—who once ran themselves ragged each day—found themselves surprisingly free for once.
Inside the newly built grand shrine,
Butterfly Shinobu held the small statue of You with both hands.
She sprang forward with a swift push of her feet, moving like a dancing butterfly, and quickly reached her elder sister's courtyard after a few elegant bounds.
"Onee-san!"
"Have you felt it too? Shall we practice together?"
A soft smile graced Butterfly Sanae's face as she gently patted Hanako's head beside her.
"Eh? But Sister, I've never actually..."
"A proper shrine maiden should know how to perform the Kagura ritual dance."
"...Hanako, you'll be joining us as well."
Butterfly Shinobu reached out stiffly to take Hanako's tiny hand.
Slaying demons wasn't an issue for her, but dancing the Kagura?
Could she really pull it off?
——————
In the Marvel Realm, within Kamar-Taj's library.
Wong rubbed his cheek, watching Moord and Kaecilius rush back from outside with expressions growing more and more awkward.
The statue was ready, no requirements for the altar, and the sorcerers' mental focus should also be sufficient.
But then there was this request about costumes for the [Spirit-Summoning Dance]...
And here were three grown men standing around.
