All the evil spirits in the school had been cleared out, except for the gymnasium storage room, which they saved for last.
Inside the storage room, messy volleyballs, strength training equipment, and various other items were strewn everywhere.
These were secondary; the most crucial thing was the chilling darkness within that made one's heart palpitate.
Yotsuya Toko felt herself starting to sweat, and the air was filled with a decaying scent that made her choke slightly.
"Look! What's that?"
Yurikawa Hana suddenly grabbed Touko's arm, her voice trembling as if about to break.
She pointed to a mass of black mist in the corner, which was slowly condensing into a massive figure.
Touko observed through her Yin-Yang Eyes that the black mist was constantly deforming, gradually forming a giant evil spirit three meters tall.
Its body was covered in a blood-stained white robe, it held a long iron chain in its hand, and a row of sharp teeth protruded from its mouth.
"It... it's too big!"
Yotsuya Miko also exclaimed, but her voice was steadier than Yurikawa Hana's.
Hachishaku-sama stood in front of everyone and said coldly, "Don't be afraid, I'll go first."
Her voice was soft, yet it held an indescribable firmness.
Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the bells on her chest, and those bells emitted faint echoes.
"Prepare!"
Hachishaku-sama suddenly shouted, her black Yin energy condensing into a long spear, charging directly at the evil spirit.
Touko and Miko's Yin-Yang Eyes power also surged forth, and countless golden lights filled the air.
The giant evil spirit's power was gradually weakening.
Then it let out a shrill scream, its iron chain drawing a graceful arc in the air.
However, this attack was directly blocked by Yotsuya Toko.
"Enough!"
Touko roared, using the prayer beads in her hand like a blade, imbued with the spiritual power of her Yin-Yang Eyes, and slashed at the evil spirit's abdomen.
The evil spirit tried to retaliate, but was vibrated by Yurikawa Hana's kagura bell sound waves, its movements became sluggish, and it was finally cut in half at its abdomen!
The golden light instantly severed its consciousness completely, and the giant evil spirit let out one last scream before dissipating into a mass of black mist in the air.
"It's finally over!"
Miko tightly hugged Koha, shouting excitedly.
She could feel that the power of her Yin-Yang Eyes had reached its limit.
They had eliminated at least a hundred evil spirits today, and this last one had completely exhausted them!
Kamishiro Yu looked at the four girls and was quite satisfied.
He had deliberately held back today, but the evil spirits in the school had basically been swept clean by them, which was enough to show that the four girls could now stand on their own.
Back home, Kamishiro Yu initiated a discussion with everyone about their future development.
He explained to the four girls his ability to absorb the power of faith.
He gently tapped, spending 100 points of Divine Power, and sprinkled this power onto the four girls.
Hachishaku-sama immediately felt her Yin Body become more peaceful, and her high-speed movement technique and control over her hair became even more proficient!
The same was true for Yotsuya Toko; her already enhanced physical fitness further increased, and her Yin-Yang Eyes' vision and control became even more adept.
The other two girls also looked shocked!
To be able to achieve such a great improvement with a wave of a hand, was this the power of a god?
Yotsuya Toko and Hachishaku-sama exchanged glances, their beautiful eyes sparkling.
They and Kamishiro Yu had already become a de facto community of interest.
They could spread faith for Yu-kun in this world, enhancing his power.
The stronger Yu-kun became, the more benefits they, as Divine Servants, would certainly receive.
Especially Yotsuya Toko, as a group member, she had already benefited greatly.
To make a horse run, you naturally have to let it eat grass first.
Kamishiro Yu naturally wouldn't be stingy about improving the strength of his Divine Servants.
After all, for Divine Servants who had already completed the contract, he had control over their life and death with a single thought, and they could not betray him in any form.
Were there any better subordinates than these?
He couldn't personally go to every world to collect faith; that would be too troublesome and undignified.
A god should remain high above ordinary believers.
He had already thought of a plan; it was already modern society, and old methods like those of Sanko Valley Shrine would only end up in dust.
And there was already a ready-made example: like the psychic Rōmu, creating his own channel and show.
After Kamishiro Yu proposed this idea, Yurikawa Hana immediately stood up:
"We're going to make our own channel?"
She looked at Kamishiro Yu with excitement.
After receiving Kamishiro Yu's nod, she hugged Miko's arm and swayed back and forth, becoming a famous Exorcist! It sounded so interesting!
Miko had watched Rōmu's channel before, and she also understood that online dissemination would be extremely fast, and the audience would be wider.
She also suggested, "We can also make merchandise for Senpai Yu!"
"That way, word-of-mouth will surely attract a large number of believers, especially since we can really perform exorcisms!"
Miko put herself in their shoes.
If she had had such a true god to believe in, one who could help her exorcise spirits, she would certainly be devoted and devoutly worship them!
"However, at first, the speed of attracting fans might be slow."
Miko was a little worried.
Kamishiro Yu then directly said, "Just ask Rōmu to help you promote the channel!"
If there's a tool, might as well use it.
Kamishiro Yu didn't save people for nothing.
Thus, Kamishiro Yu's plan to increase Divine Power and attract believers was largely set: to become a cyber god spread across the internet.
They could create divine merchandise to boost dissemination, and later, if suitable locations were found, shrines could also be built.
But as for directly using places like Sanko Valley Shrine, that was out of the question; too many people had died there.
He looked at the girls, all full of drive, and felt very gratified.
At least there were no freeloaders in the team; everyone contributed, even a cute foodie like Yurikawa Hana gave her all when clearing evil spirits from the school... That day, Rōmu saw a private message from someone calling themselves Deity Channel, roughly meaning they wanted to recruit believers and hoped for some recommendations, as a way to understand the incident at Sanko Valley Shrine back then.
He couldn't help but recall the magnificent presence of that great being; if the Kitsune was an evil god, then that great being was a true god!
He agreed without hesitation, and would even put in great effort to recommend them later... Kamishiro Yu watched Miko and Koha, the two girls, shut themselves away and tinker for a whole night, and the account and channel were directly formed.
Meanwhile, Touko and Hachishaku-sama prepared many outfits, props, materials, and money.
Hachishaku-sama directly used the gold she had hidden and old artifacts as the channel's startup capital.
Touko, Miko, and Koha appeared together wearing traditional cherry blossom attire, demonstrating several tricks.
And so, the Deity Channel's first video was released.
Miko and Koha nervously clicked 'publish', hoping for a good outcome!
