Chapter 30: Weakened Luck
Controlling his emotions forcefully, Yun Che returned the greeting politely.
"Thank you for saving me Lan Xueruo, I am incredibly grateful. My name is Yun Che, nice to meet you."
Cang Yue nodded and gestured Yun Che to follow her. This is obviously not a good place to talk, so she invited him to her residence.
"Come let's talk in my home."
Yun Che is also happy to leave this place of shame and was about to go with Cang Yue without a word, but Cang Yue's followers obviously found the situation to be inappropriate. The Against the Gods world has ancient Chinese customs, so it's unreasonable for a young man to enter the home of a young woman if they aren't married or blood-related. Especially because as the followers of Cang Yue they knew her true identity, how is it possible to let Yun Che casually enter a princess's residence?
"Young miss, is it really a good idea to let a male stranger enter your home?"
The follower tried to be as euphemistic as he can, but in the ears of Cang Yue, who was currently influenced by the protagonist halo this sounded incredibly harsh. For a moment the influence of Yun Che's luck on her wore off a bit and she questioned herself. She mumbled:
"Yes, I don't even let my brothers enter my room, but now I am allowing it to a stranger?"
But just then she suddenly shook her head forcefully and her expression returned to normal. She looked at Yun Che apologetically and sternly reprimanded her follower.
"There is no problem, we just want to talk while drinking tea. Now please come with me, Yun Che."
A smile appeared on the face of Takashi, who had been observing the situation. When he noticed the thoughtful light in Aizen's eyes, he knew that they have come to the same conclusion.
"Our actions on Yun Che seems to have weakened his luck to a certain extent and even the heroine managed to break out of the protagonist halo with the help of her follower as an external influence."
Aizen nodded and continued.
"The experiment was successful. It's probably the accumulation of the missing Evil God inheritance, that he didn't get and the experiment afterward. If we continue his luck should probably be weakened until he loses his protagonist status in this world and we can safely kill him."
Laying his hand on Aizen's shoulder, Loki looked at him weirdly and said.
"You look like a good guy, but regard everything we do here as an experiment? Although I already suspected your image to be an external mask, due to the chat group messages, now I am sure.
I have lived for 1500 years and am called the god of tricks and mischief, but still can't control my image to your extent."
Shaking off Lokis Lokis without a trace, Aizen adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.
"I never tried to deceive anyone, it's everyone's own lacking observation if they aren't able to notice my true nature. The group leader was able to do it easily."
'Yes, because I saw you in the Anime, my observation skills are not that good. Stop acting humble.'
Takashi was slandered Aizen a bit in his mind, if it was so easy to understand the true face of a master of deception like Aizen, then he wouldn't be Aizen.
Externally though Takashi just nodded, not refuting his words.
Changing the topic, Takashi gestured to Aizen and said.
"Aizen it's your turn to act, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to observe them if they enter her residence."
Aizen immediately understood what he meant and positioned himself not far from Yun Che's group and took out his Zanpakuto from his sheath smoothly.
Cang Yue's followers reacted and formed a defensive formation around her, but then the actions of Aizen surprised them.
He didn't try to attack them at all but started to do a sword dance. His movements were elegant and beautiful, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Cang Yue seems to be intoxicated, unable to extricate herself. One follower of hers was shocked and mumbled.
"His swordsmanship, it has reached the alignment of heaven and man."
Yun Che was displeased, when he saw the expression on Cang Yue's face and muttered disdainfully.
"Hmpf, give me two months' time and my swordsmanship would be better than his."
Some people looked at him disdainfully, but most completely ignored him and continued enjoying Aizen's performance.
Two minutes later Aizen stopped and bowed to the audience, which was followed by bursting applause. Then he resheathed his sword, used Shunpo, and disappeared before anyone could come up to him.
Cang Yue was the first to react.
"No, no where did he go?"
Her face was red from excitement and she was stunned by the beautiful kendo attainments of Aizen. After seeing his performance, she questioned if it was not actually him, that she was looking for and not Yun Che.
"He is gone Young Miss, I can't sense him."
Bowing her head sadly for a moment, she immediately cheered up.
"He is in this city, we will meet again. Definitely."
On the side Yun Che was standing with a depressed face, he is talented too. He is a divine doctor and many other things, why does no one pay attention to him?
Jasmine looked at Aizen, who was already standing beside them again, with a surprised expression.
"Although you can't compare to my elder brother, your swordsmanship is truly not bad."
"Yes, I didn't know you have the talent to be a showman."
Loki's words made Aizen a bit angry again, showman your ass. He just wanted to use Kyoka Suigetsu's hypnotism on everyone and at the same time, leave a good impression on the 'heroine', which might be useful later.
"Okay everyone calm down, Aizen had a reason for doing this. Well done, by the way, your swordsmanship is really nice to look at."
'Nice to look at? As expected of the group leader, my kendo can't enter your eyes."

Author Note:
What do you think of the suggestion of giving Aizen some Demiurge elements?
Meaning that he misunderstands everything when it comes to Takashi, in terms of his power, actions, and so on.
Otherwise being extremely smart of course.
