285.那个诡异的面具，果然与你有关

通过丰臣秀赖的事情，真田幸村突然发现一个问题，如果玛利亚肆意的替换其他人呢？
If we directly replace all the important figures, wouldn't it be easy to control this land?
William thought for a moment and then replied, "It's not impossible, but it would require a long time and cannot be discovered by anyone."
"I guess Maria must have this idea, to stabilize the situation with Chacha first, and then take action gradually."
……
"As the ashes on the roof met the gaze of Ichiro, they both saw a deep surprise in each other's eyes. If this plan were really implemented, it would be terrifying. Waking up one day to find the people around you replaced, just thinking about it makes one's skin crawl."
Since Yukimura Sanada entered the hall with William, Ashes has been secretly spying. The conversation they just had was heard by Ashes, but unfortunately Maria didn't show up, so Ashes could only continue to lie in wait.
At dusk, the messenger who had gone to Ishida Mitsunari's residence hadn't returned yet, which made Tacha Tacha impatient. It seemed that there was no need to wait for three days anymore. The other party had made up their mind and no longer respected the orders of the Toyotomi family.
"Yukimura, you take the army and go to attack Ishida Mitsunari. I want to live, I want him to know what the consequences are for challenging the authority of the Toyotomi family!"
As time went on, Chacha's condition became increasingly abnormal, and her emotions grew more restless. After giving orders to Sanada Yukimura, Chacha arranged for others to accelerate the collection of spiritual stones, which was her last trump card.
"Lord Chacha, are you also going to mimic Mitsunari Ishida and create a demonic army? You must never do that!"
Just as Sanada Yukimura was about to leave, he turned back and advised Chacha.
"Demonize the army?"
"Hmph!"
"There's no way we would create such useless things. They couldn't even withstand the combined forces of Yukimura Sanada and the shogunate. What use would they be?"
Tea Tea pats Yukimura Sanada on the shoulder, "I'll directly summon the Gate of Hades and release the sealed demons of a thousand years. When the time comes for the time of the demons, let's see who dares to oppose me..."
"The Gate of the Underworld...releasing monsters..."
Sanada Yukimura immediately kneeled down and shouted loudly, "This is an even more extreme evil than the army being turned into demons..."
"Lord Chacha...please think carefully..."
Tea Tea didn't even listen. She swung her sleeves and left directly.
William came to Sanada Yukimura's side and helped him up. "Now is not the time to be down, the immediate task is to cut off the supply of spirit stones. We must not let that crazy woman succeed."
"......Yes......Yes......"
Sanada Yukimura stood up immediately, "We can't delay any longer, I'll go and investigate the location of the spirit stone warehouse, and we'll take action tonight."
……
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
"Once William and Yukimura Sanada blow up the Spirit Stone warehouse, Maria may escape..."
"Ashes is also trying to figure out a solution, who could have expected that Chacha, this woman, is so crazy, actually wanting to open the Gate of Hades, connecting the human world and the underworld, causing devastation to the entire world."
"Got it!"
"Kill Hideyoshi Toyotomi!"
Genichiro looked at the ashes in confusion, what's the point of killing a clone?
Through a small hole, Ashes stared at Hideyoshi Toyotomi intensely, then explained to Genichiro, "Everything Chacha has done is for Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Now, by killing Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Chacha will inevitably abandon the plan to open the Gates of the Underworld, allowing Maria to resurrect Hideyoshi once again. At this point, we can lure the snake out of its hole and achieve two goals in one stroke!"
Ashes' method is really good. Silva has been resurrected once, and only Maria can be resurrected a second time. Now that Maria is hiding and not coming out, Ashes is forcing her to come out.
"Teacher, leave this matter to me," said Xian Yilang.
After Xian Yilang finished speaking, he leapt down directly, and Raijyuwoven with lightning stabbed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was still drinking tea, with a chilling blow.
With one blow that always hits its mark, Xian Ichiro completed his assassination mission and swiftly fled into the distance.
As Xian Ichiro's figure disappeared from view, the people in the hall finally reacted and began crying out uncontrollably. Sanada Yukimura immediately rushed over to examine the wound – a penetrating injury that pierced the heart, chilling everyone to the core...
William stood aside, lost in thought. Although he didn't see the assassin's identity clearly, this move could only be carried out by Yaname no Genichiro.
He didn't reveal it either, Genichiro must have a reason for doing this. Let's wait and see.
Tea entered the room and then appeared in the lobby again, but this time she wasn't even wearing shoes. She ran over in a hurry, and when she saw the dead body of Xiulai, she was stunned and couldn't say a word.
My son, who I just regained, is gone again...
"...Maria... Maria..." Chacha came back to her senses, screaming Maria's name in agony, "...please save Shurui... Maria... please come..."
Rai was assassinated, catching Maria off guard. Now we must stabilize Tea's emotions, or else all of the plans will be in vain.
Maria hurriedly came to Tea's side and examined Rai's wound, and directly reassured, "Master Tea, don't worry, I can treat this. Give me a day, and I promise to resurrect Prince Rai once again."
With Maria's assurance, Chacha's emotions instantly stabilized as Maria was about to have the servant carry away Shura's body.
Another flash of lightning, this time not Xian Yilang, but Ashes.
Since Maria has already shown up, Ashes doesn't need to hide. She can directly use Stormfall Thunder from the rooftop, paralyzing everyone on the scene except for William.
"It's you..." Maria stared fiercely at the ashes, the outsider who had once disrupted the British plan reappeared.
"Has the borderland fallen into chaos?"
Hearing Maria's questioning, the ashes snorted coldly, "That mysterious mask, it's indeed related to you."
"Tell me, what exactly is that mask..."
Maria gritted her silver teeth, refusing to speak. Ash signaled to William to tie up the others and prepared to deal with Maria alone.
As William walked up to Chacha, a huge tail emerged from behind her, followed by eight more.
The massive tail was preparing to wrap around the bodies of Maria and Xuelai and flee. But the ashes prevented her from succeeding, so he swung his sword and cut it off. Then, grayish-white tentacles also stretched out, entwining Maria to prevent her from escaping.
"Teacher, leave it to me."
"It turns out that Hikaru is back. Although he disappeared from sight, he did not go far and is ready to assist Ashes at any time."
"Looking at the nine tails behind Chacha, Yukimura Sanada also came to his senses. It turns out that he was possessed by the great yokai Tamamo-no-Mae..."
No wonder she is so eager to open the Gate of Hades, she is preparing to turn this land into a monster paradise.
