He was a man of action; without a word, he immediately began to try it out.
Yama immediately began absorbing the miasma, and the surrounding mist gathered astonishingly as a tornado sucking in water.
One second, two seconds passed quickly, and Enma stopped her movements, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Such a large amount of miasma would be enough to revive hundreds of guardians, but the increase in power is less than one ten-thousandth, not even a percent."
"Could it be because of the miasma? No, I must have overlooked something!"
After absorbing the miasma, she personally experienced the difference between the miasma and the energy given by the guardian.
Actually, the difference isn't that big. The only obvious difference is that the guardian's energy isn't pure; it's a combination of spiritual power and miasma, and in terms of quality, it's actually inferior to miasma.
Miasma is something that cannot be absorbed on its own; it is something that Yama can control due to her mastery of Yin and Yang powers.
“Spiritual power and miasma can form a special chemical reaction,” Yama lowered his head and pondered, denying this conjecture: “That’s not right either. After I absorb the energy of the Guardian, it is directly assimilated by my new energy. This miasma is assimilated in the same way. I already have spiritual power in my body, it’s just that it was assimilated into new energy a step ahead of time.”
Even if the spiritual energy is assimilated first and therefore doesn't count, I still absorbed some spiritual energy while absorbing the miasma, which fulfills this condition. So this shouldn't be related to the energy itself."
Suddenly, Enma's eyes flickered, and a thought flashed through his mind: his current increase in strength was permanent, while the power granted by the Guardian was temporary, and this might be the biggest difference.
This might still be a bit confusing, so to put it more clearly, it's about Enma's state! She isn't a pure life form! She's more like Sasori's puppet; the Third Kazekage possesses immense power.
If the Third Kazekage, who had become a human puppet, were to master Sage Mode, or if Sasori of the Red Sand were to use Sage Mode on the Third Kazekage, then the puppet's strength would definitely increase by a level. However, it is almost impossible to fundamentally make the Third Kazekage, who is not a living person, stronger.
The examples in the two cases are different, but similar.
Even without experimental data to prove it, Aizen was 90% certain that this was the possibility.
However, this is not too regrettable, because Enma only becomes stronger very slowly using this method, it does not mean that she cannot become stronger.
On the contrary, the miasma in hell should be inexhaustible in some respects.
The wicked rebel against the guardians, and the resurrection of the slain guardians consumes miasma. The constant death and resurrection of the wicked also consumes miasma. If the miasma is not balanced, the balance of hell will be broken.
Therefore, as long as we can identify and grasp the source of the miasma, the value of the five members of the Underworld group will rapidly increase, even if they previously lacked the potential to become stronger.
Assuming that Enma can become stronger by one ten-thousandth per day, in ten thousand days, or about thirty years, she can double her combat power. At that time, even without the boost from the Hell Guardian, she will still have dream-level combat power.
Of course, theory is just theory and there is no shortage of miasma for the time being, but absorbing it on a large scale without finding suitable output projects will cause certain obstacles to progress.
Furthermore, without the support of a guardian, even a level-3 expert's efficiency in absorbing miasma will slow down. These uncertainties are all factors that cannot be ignored.
However, given Aizen's confidence in himself, even if the progress is slow, he will at least be able to create an Enma who is still at the level of Aizen even after leaving Hell by the time the story begins.
Thinking about it this way, Aizen felt that his choice was quite wise.
The hidden quest originally offered two rewards, with a choice between two options: one was a shikigami from the Underworld faction in Onmyoji, and the other was the pirate crew that dominates the universe in One-Punch Man.
As the most prominent figures, Enma and Boros are both top-tier fighters.
Next, Enma has two subordinates, Meng Po and the Judge, and Boros also has two Dragon-level monsters, Goryuganshoop and Gloribas, who are both enhanced by the Ocha-Bai.
Both the Black and White Demons are level 1, while the only Dragon-level monster under Boros with a significant role, Melzargardo, is only...
On paper, they are about the same.
In reality, there is still a gap. As top-tier figures, both have their own trump cards and the ability to destroy planets.
However, relatively speaking, Enma is not very good at destruction, while Boros has several hidden states, especially the Meteor Burst state, which has the serious side effect of consuming lifespan. In a one-on-one fight, it is difficult to determine who is better, and the outcome may depend on the actual battle. Both sides should have a chance of winning.
However, Boros is unlikely to die, while Enma has a chance of dying.
Because of wave 4.
If Ross is defeated, he can use his Meteor Burst state to jump directly to an alien planet to escape.
In addition, Boros's space pirates possessed technology far surpassing Earth's by many years, which is also a hidden value.
However, Aizen himself wasn't very interested in these puppets that lacked independent thought, so he chose the Enma faction, who were more capable of cooperating with the performance in the current era. But now it seems that he made a profit.
Having figured some things out, Enma began to explore deeper into Hell.
I'm exhausted, so I won't go into details. I saw that my aunt came back and my grandma fell and broke her leg while sleeping.
I will continue to update normally unless something else happens. Thank you all for your understanding. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I hope that if you use this to attack the author, the author wouldn't joke about their family.

Chapter 307 Clash with Abe no Seimei 3/3
The inner layers of hell.
The blond, naked youth standing in the darkness suddenly opened his eyes, which were devoid of any emotion.
Swish swish.
Everyone in every corner stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes in that direction.
"What's wrong"
A short, middle-aged man with an ugly appearance revealed his unsightly teeth, his face full of confusion.
He was the only one present who dared to speak to this man.
He was none other than Yamamoto Gorozaemon, known as the Demon King.
He knew very well just how aloof and cold this man before him truly was. He usually remained in a state of deep slumber, his eyes closed, waiting for his descendants and the resurrection ritual of Hagoromo Gitsune to allow darkness to once again shroud the world.
Everything else was unlikely to attract his attention.
"Someone has hacked in."
A flicker of emotion crossed the blond man's eyes, and he paused, changing his tone, "No, it's that I've entered Hell."
"What!"
Yamamoto exclaimed in surprise.
The other guilty parties couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
If it weren't for the man in front of them saying those words, anyone else would probably have been beaten to death.
What a joke! Even the Grim Reaper dares not set foot in Hell. Even a captain-level Grim Reaper would have a high chance of dying here. It would be difficult to leave unscathed, let alone invade—no, I should say take over Hell—a truly terrifying prospect.
Invasion and taking over are two completely different concepts.
The former, at most, involves some foolish individuals who are oblivious to their own mortality trying to force their way into the gates of hell when they are open, and who will ultimately die there and be left to fend for themselves.
Whether he committed sins in his previous life or not, he will be reborn as a sinner in hell.
Taking over would be terrifying.
Do you really think those guardians of Hell are pushovers? Let alone this... dignified Demon King, even the... legend beside him isn't qualified to rule the entire Hell.
Bang bang bang.
A crisp clapping sound suddenly rang out.
"who is it"
Gorozaemon Yamamoto shouted.
A charming yet dignified laugh suddenly rang out, and a graceful figure emerged from the shadows.
"As expected of a former great Onmyoji, his reaction time is indeed faster than the others."
The newcomer smiled charmingly, her playful expression completely ignoring Yamamoto Gorozaemon who had spoken.
"you!"
Demon King Yamamoto's face suddenly darkened.
However, Abe no Seimei, who was beside him, did not give him any face. He just looked at the other party quietly and said coldly, "The true lord of hell? Such a vast hell cannot have a master. However, I have never seen the ruler of hell since I came here a thousand years ago. I once thought that my judgment was wrong."
Now, here it comes.
A deep hatred flashed in Yamamoto's eyes as he felt ignored by one or two people, whether it was Abe no Seimei beside him or the "Lord of Hell" whom Abe no Seimei valued.
These were all people he could afford to offend, but the extremely shrewd Yamamoto chose to remain silent.
Hearing the other party's affirmative words, Enma chuckled twice and did not deny it.
Feel free to overthink it.
Anbei Qingming took her reaction as an admission and continued, "You are very strong. I am probably not as strong as you now."
What brings you here today?
"It's nothing, I just wanted to meet you, the one hailed as the Great Onmyoji."
"Yeah"
After they finished speaking, they fell silent.
In this somber atmosphere, everything around us fell silent.
Few fools would dare to interrupt a conversation between influential figures.
In fact, Enma was not lying.
She did indeed use the system to observe these people's abilities.
In terms of abilities, just like Aizen before him, they are very simple.
Unlike Soi Fon, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and others whose ability panels contain a lot of information but whose actual combat strength is not strong enough.
A level one "Yin-Yang Technique"
That actually says it all; this guy, as an Onmyoji, has reached a level similar to the limit of Bleach.
Aizen vaguely remembered the Taishan Fujun Festival. It was likely a secret technique passed down through traditional Chinese Taoism, a ritual where one prayed to the Taoist deity, the Eastern Peak Emperor, and exchanged their life for a name.
In Nurarihyon no Mago, Seimei Abe used this technique to grant immortality to the successive heads of the Abe family, so that they could protect his throne and sacred ground, awaiting his resurrection and return.
Although Aizen was unaware of his "Mount Tai Lord Festival"
What happened is that, but as long as Abe no Seimei is unwilling to die, regardless of whether his original lifespan had a limit, he will not go to hell to wait for resurrection.
In other words, Abe no Seimei's death was likely intentional on his part.
That's really interesting!
After a long while, Abe no Seimei finally spoke again: "Now that you've seen it, what else do you want to do?"
"Well, could you tell me?"
Her lips parted slightly, and a soft, melodious voice rang out. But before she could finish, Yama's tone abruptly shifted, replaced by a chilling, authoritative question: "What exactly are you plotting on my turf?"
""
Anbei Seimei's brow twitched, as if he had been struck by something. He remained silent for a while before saying indifferently, "I am but a dead man. Is it not unusual for me, a half-demon, to fall into hell?"
"hehe."
Enma chuckled.
Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Anqing frowned slightly and sighed, saying, "It seems that such words cannot deceive you. Having borrowed your territory for nearly a thousand years, I have obtained almost everything I wanted and am just waiting for the time to return to the present world."
"The miasma of hell can regenerate, and what I have taken is not much, but it is still taken unsolicited. What do you require?"
There's nothing I need you to do for now.
Enma gave Anbe no Seimei a deep look, then shook her head in refusal.
"Alright, then I'll consider this a favor I owe."
The two didn't talk much. Enma didn't idiot by saying that a dead person like you can't be resurrected, and Abe no Seimei didn't foolishly confront Enma directly.
Neither of them are simple characters, so there's no need to dwell on some childish topics.
It's like in mythology: if a deity is imprisoned in the Yama's palace, even if their strength is inferior to Yama's, and there's no hatred between them, Yama has the ability to resurrect and leave, so Yama can't strongly object.
As for why Abe no Seimei was so easy to talk to, it wasn't his intention. A madman who tries to overthrow the world is not someone to be trifled with. The reason he was so polite was simply because Enma was stronger than him.
If Enma only had the strength of an ordinary Shinigami captain, believe it or not, Abe no Seimei would have simply killed his way in, seized territory, and become king.
This verbal exchange was merely an initial test of each other's abilities.
Chapter 308 World Rule Supervisor 1/3
Suddenly, a fair hand lashed out.
A deathly aura that made everyone present feel suffocated suddenly erupted, and Abe no Seimei, who was directly affected, changed his expression slightly and reacted quickly by pointing his fingers.
"Word of Protection!"
"Word of Protection!"
"Word of Power!"
