-561- You've got the wrong person

"Hmm?"

On the riverbank, as the power gathered to deal with Rozen after his descent into a spiritual disaster, Kakugyouki, with the intent to handle Rozen, suddenly froze and then sparkled with determination.

In mid-air, a massive crow monster with black feathers and a dark aura that stirred up a black storm halted in its tracks, gradually fading away, allowing Rozen's weak yet unique spiritual energy to recover.

Simultaneously, sparkling embers danced around Rozen, resembling golden particles, gradually revealing Rozen within.

Adorned with a cloak-like black coat, Rozen exuded an air of nobility and elegance.

"Did it work?" murmured the Kakugyouki, its gaze unwaveringly fixed on Rozen, never shifting.

Rozen's figure descended slowly from mid-air, seemingly weightless as if enhanced by telekinesis, with the weight completely lifted, eventually returning to the original spot.

However, Rozen's eyes remained closed.

At this moment, Rozen was processing a vast influx of knowledge flooding into his mind.

All this knowledge came from Raven's Wing.

As the Kakugyouki had mentioned, Raven's Wing seemed to store energy and recorded all of Yakou's magical knowledge before his passing. Now, all of it was transformed into memories and etched into Rozen's mind.

Rozen wasn't unfamiliar with this sensation.

He remembered experiencing something similar when he gained knowledge of all Summoning Arts from "Miracle" back then. Suddenly, a vast amount of memories surged in his mind, gradually absorbed as Rozen continued to grow.

And as he traversed the worlds, regressing to an infant's body, as the brain fully developed, past memories reawakened in Rozen's mind all at once.

Now, all the Jujutsu knowledge used by Yakou flowed into Rozen's mind through Raven's Wing, and he absorbed it bit by bit.

How much time this process took, Rozen was unsure.

Rozen only knew that he was overwhelmed by this immense knowledge.

Within this knowledge flowing through Raven's Wing, not only were almost all Jujutsu from ancient times to the present included, but also the entire content of "Imperial-style Onmyodou."

Not only the vast and powerful spells that were pruned by the Common-Style, but also those deemed forbidden for various reasons, all surged into Rozen's mind.

Among them was even the complete content of the "Taizan Fukun Ritual."

This was not the "Taizan Fukun Ritual" passed down through generations in the Tsuchimikado family for ritual and spirit communion. It was the true "Imperial-style Taizan Fukun Ritual."

Based on the ritual left behind by Abe no Seimei, a modified, recompiled, and rewritten "Taizan Fukun Ritual" that could resurrect the dead, Rozen had obtained it.

When Rozen gained all the knowledge of the "Taizan Fukun Ritual," he realized something.

"The usage of 'Taizan Fukun Ritual' that Dairenji knew about was just one of its many applications."

The forbidden ritual achieved by swapping the souls of the living and the dead to resurrect the deceased.

This was the effect advocated by Dairenji Suzuka for the "Taizan Fukun Ritual."

However, in reality, this was just one of the applications of the "Taizan Fukun Ritual."

The true "Taizan Fukun Ritual" was an entire system, a power to manipulate souls as one wished. It encompassed not only soul exchange but also effects such as reincarnation, transformation, summoning, searching, and more—virtually anything related to the soul could be found within this system.

Its essence lay in connecting to the great spiritual presence named Taizan Fukun through rituals, allowing manipulation of souls through the power of Taizan Fukun.

In other words, what Dairenji Suzuka had learned as the "Taizan Fukun Ritual" was just one type within this entire system, not the complete "Taizan Fukun Ritual."

Now, Rozen had gained this complete system.

The entire system of the "Taizan Fukun Ritual" is just a part of the "Imperial-style Onmyodou."

Added to that are various Jujutsu systems integrated from around the world by Yakou. Some of these include ancient Jujutsu. Rozen gained an immense amount of Jujutsu knowledge from this amalgamation.

In terms of quantity alone, this knowledge far surpassed what Rozen obtained from the "Summoning Arts" in "Miracle."

Now, the knowledge of magic and Jujutsu was deeply etched into Rozen's brain.

As long as Rozen persevered in honing and practicing, these powers would eventually become part of himself and be at his disposal.

In the past, Rozen's abilities were primarily in "Summoning Arts" and "Puppetry Arts." Even the eight tiers of magus were primarily to assist these two powers.

Now, Rozen had gained another power—Onmyoudou.

"Summoning Arts."

"Puppetry Arts."

"Onmyoudou."

These were the three major power of Rozen as the "Miracle Summoner."

Of course, whether it was the summoned Familiars, the created puppets, or the generated Shikigami, they were all based on Rozen's extraordinary natural talents.

As a controller, he possessed exceptional innate talents.

So, Rozen slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that entered Rozen's sight was Kakugyouki standing opposite him.

The two stood as they did when they first met, facing each other, without any change in position.

However, Rozen now had an additional black coat, and Kakugyouki had been continuously staring at Rozen, looking at the enchanted "Raven's Wing" that appeared on him. There was no joy in his expression that he had achieved his goal.

Confirmation that Rozen was the reincarnation of Yakou.

That was what Kakugyouki wanted to do.

Given this, upon seeing Rozen successfully manifest the "Raven's Wing," Kakugyouki should have at least felt some emotional relief.

However, at this moment, Kakugyouki's face not only showed no joy but was extremely solemn.

"...Why?"

Kakugyouki stared at Rozen, speaking in a low voice.

"Why is your Reiki..."

Kakugyouki seemed to want to say something.

And what he wanted to say, Rozen could guess.

"You want to ask, why is my Reiki still so weak and nothing like the Yakou you once served, right?"

Rozen voiced Kakugyouki's inner doubt.

This was the reason for Kakugyouki's current demeanor.

All things in the world have their own Reiki; males have Yang energy, females have Yin energy, flames have fiery energy, water flows have aquatic energy, dragons have dragon energy, and spirits have spirit energy. This is the most basic theory of Yin-Yang Tao.

That being said, everyone's Reiki is different, just like their aura, which can be distinguished.

Naturally, Yakou also had his own Reiki.

As a Shikigami who once served Yakou, Kakugyouki could not fail to recognize Yakou's Reiki. Even Raven's Wing only acknowledged Yakou's Reiki. The way to verify one's identity is to certify the Reiki. If the Reiki is not entirely Yakou's, it will lead to a rampage.

And Rozen, because of his consistently weak Reiki, whether it was Kakugyouki or Hishamaru, they both thought he hadn't awakened yet, and his Reiki had not been fully awakened. As long as Raven's Wing possessed him, let the past records flow in, it would promote awakening and arouse Yakou's Reiki.

But now, Raven's Wing had turned into a curse tool, and Rozen's Reiki was still as weak as ever, showing no trace of Yakou.

What did this indicate?

"I am not Yakou."

Rozen stated plainly.

"You've got the wrong person."
