Chapter 172 - 172 ⟴ Spiritual Enhanced Conqueror's Haki
"What is that..."
The majestic figure of the God of the Mountain was awe-inspiring.
An overwhelming aura surrounded it, leaving Gan'an speechless. The shadow cast by the golden fox's tail loomed like an enormous black curtain.
Both Senzaemon and he felt their vision darken.
Gan'an's spirit trembled, his mouth agape in stunned silence.
"ROAR!"
The God of the Mountain unleashed a sky-piercing howl as white waves of energy exploded outward from its body.
Fierce winds swept past flowing sleeves while emerald waves surged. Clouds gathered above as leaves rustled and swirled in the energy blast.
The golden fox deity grew restless, sensing a threat to its life. Its golden tails bristled and swished repeatedly while low growls and shrieks emerged from its mouth — a warning to the unknown intruder, attempting to intimidate this uninvited guest with divine authority.
Daiki activated his Far Sight and Insight abilities, instantly penetrating the golden fox's form. Its false shell made him nauseated.
Beneath the golden exterior lurked a grotesque vengeful spirit with bulging, malice-filled eyes and fox ears amid scattered black hair. Its razor-sharp chin seemed capable of piercing flesh, while its curved waist balanced on a single spine, smooth fur covering its entire back.
Most bizarre was the Evil Spirit's abdomen, layered with countless small hands clutching numerous bells within their embrace. If not for the golden fox skin radiating its divine light, none would believe this was the deity of the Sankō Shrine.

Daiki showed no fear, taking a step forward on the stairs as his surging soul force transformed into the most domineering Conqueror's Haki.
۞ Spiritual Enhanced Haki ⟴ Supreme King! ۞
In an instant, mountainous waves of Conqueror's Haki surged from his position toward the God of the Mountain, pressing straight at the torii gate.
Crack!
The stone steps crumbled under the pressure of the Conqueror's Haki, while the thick grass between them exploded into powder. Scattered by the breeze, the grass fragments released a fresh fragrance, creating a beautiful green curtain of rain in the air.
Under this Conqueror's Haki pressure, the God of the Mountain's fur scattered wildly as the red torii gate beneath its feet shattered into splinters.
"Using Conqueror's Haki infusion still brings out the strongest power — normal Conqueror's Haki release could only cause this level of physical damage."
Enhanced by his Spiritual Power, the Conqueror's Haki unleashed terrifying destructive force, shattering rocks with a mere glance. Yet for opponents of this caliber, such physical damage was practically negligible.
Of course, this was because Daiki hadn't fully utilized his Spiritual Power — otherwise, the Conqueror's Haki's power would have no limits.
He was satisfied with the results. After all, this was merely a test of Conqueror's Haki's potential, and the damage had exceeded his expectations.
Meanwhile, Senzaemon and Gan'an, crouching behind the luxury car, watched with widened eyes in disbelief.
"Is this what a Jujutsu Sorcerer is capable of? Such destruction with just a glance — why aren't the Sorcerers I employ this powerful?"
Because Daiki controlled the direction of the Conqueror's Haki release, focusing all damage in a straight line, it didn't affect anyone else.
Gan'an trembled as he pointed at the figure on the steps — the man stood casually with his hands in his pockets, not even using Cursed Energy!
As one of Japan's top financial groups, the Shinomiya Zaibatsu spent astronomical sums yearly to hire — or rather invite — Jujutsu Sorcerers for protection. Beyond Sorcerers, they maintained connections with Onmyōji and the Public Safety Devil Hunter Division as protective measures.
However, the Public Safety Devil Hunter Division primarily focused on suppressing civilian Devils, rarely involving themselves with corporate matters.

As for the Onmyōji side, they had connections with one of the Twelve Guardians, but that one barely gave them the time of day. Thus, the Shinomiya Zaibatsu maintained closer relations with Jujutsu Sorcerers, though due to his recent declining health, he hadn't been keeping up with matters.
Senzaemon's heart leaped in shock as he forcefully knocked away Gan'an's pointing finger, hastening to explain to his confused look.
"This gentleman resembles the new Inspector General of the Jujutsu Headquarters — if I'm not mistaken, he must be Inspector General Daiki!"
Though Senzaemon hadn't watched the livestream himself, recordings of the Kyoto Jujutsu Community massacre had spread like wildfire. Everyone knew this newly appointed Inspector General was not only young but possessed a fierce temper, ready to unleash devastation at the slightest provocation.
Daring to point at him like that — even the Shinomiya Zaibatsu's influence wouldn't help!
Gan'an was momentarily stunned, but seeing Senzaemon's discomfort gave him some comfort for his recent troubles.
He laughed heartily, "Nakiri! Oh Nakiri! What am I to do with you? I, Gan'an Shinomiya, am the current head of the Shino Conglomerate! To be frank, I had a close relationship with the previous Jujutsu Headquarters Inspector General — just one phone call from me, and surely this new Inspector General would show some respect to his senior!"
His words made Senzaemon's legs tremble with fear.
He looked at the deluded man in horror and cut in, "Shut up! Don't you know Inspector General Daiki slaughtered everyone in the Headquarters? You dare claim such a close relationship with him — do you have a death wish?"
Gan'an's weathered face froze — how had he never heard about this?
Seeing his expression, Senzaemon shook his head helplessly, reflecting on how this man's descendants were growing equally restless.
How could such major news have been kept secret until now? Fortunately, it was just the two of them here...
The two sunglasses-wearing strongmen holding umbrellas by the car suddenly panicked.
What did this mean?
Disposing of them after use? They hadn't even started being useful yet.
As Gan'an realized this, his expression gradually darkened.
Before they could continue speaking, Daiki used the construction technique from Mai's reward to form a long blade, then infused it with nearly tangible Conqueror's Haki.
۞ Kamusari ⟴ Divine Avoidance! ۞
He shot forward like an arrow. Midway, he used the Spatial Transference technique to instantly teleport.
The sudden disappearance of his figure threw the God of the Mountain into panic.
In the next moment, black Conqueror's Haki lightning exploded as the two forces collided. The unstoppable blade pierced through the Evil Fox with thunderous force.
Boom!
With a single strike, the God of the Mountain's head went flying. Along with it, the Evil Spirit hidden within the fox skin was slain.
Just then, the European Great Knight who had an appointment with Gan'an arrived at that exact moment.
Upon setting foot there, he discovered the God of the Mountain had been beheaded.
"You bastard! What the hell are you doing?!"
The Cursed Energy-infused roar, like a lion's bellow, made their eardrums ache.
