Touhou Chapter 30 repost due to being lost (Patreon)

The room was filled with a heavy tension as random eyes popped up everywhere as Yukari's boiling rage broke reality over its knee showing off her eldritch nature in the eyes seemingly gliding over the walls with gaping mouths with infinite teeth also appearing beside the eyes.
"Put your away your Gaps Yukari... Or I will." I said softly as everyone quickly realized this had gone far beyond us sniping at one another with quips.
"You are an upstart brat who thinks you have the whole universe in the palm of your hand just because the personification of the planet is willing to wipe your ass. Do you think your mother will bother hunting me for more than a century if I have you sealed away so Gensokyo can go back what it should have been?" Yukari spoke as she twirled her umbrella behind her back as she regally stood up from her chair and I sighed at the clearly hostile sight.
"Very well Yukari of the Gaps, I tried to reach out to you." I said before as I took a note from Sakuya's book and flash froze time itself sending myself outside the native timeline for but a moment as the act was most definitely something I wasn't good at without anchoring myself to Sakuya's little time skip across the timeline. But in that brief moment of time stopping, I managed to teleport Ea into one hand and then with the other I bitch smacked Yukari with the full weight of a mountain.
As time resumed Yukari got smashed completely through a marble pillar and with the angle of my slap, she instead of getting yeeted across Gensokyo, I smacked her down the side of my mountain with her form carving a deep ditch in the soil and rocks.
"Ea spin to oblivion." I muttered as Ea in my hands roared to life forming something akin to a reality marble of stars surrounding me, with a sun above me and the earth beneath my feet.
Yukari unsurprisingly stood back up and as she seemingly opened a fucking Gap into the sun of all things with the tidal wave of fire heading towards me, I brought down my hand with reality itself seemingly shattering as small spatial tears opened up in the surroundings as a massive pillar of reality shredding conceptual destruction backed up and helped created by the very planet itself to make sure I was protected.
Needless to say, even if Yukari managed to enhance the summoned flames and tried to curse me with her Gap nonsense, I was a fucking Mountain God, and this was my mountain.
This was my reality and her tiny whisper of how my heart should slide between the gap of beating to stopping, was promptly ignored by me shouting that she was a cunt and a baseball sized diamond moving at five times the speed of sound should hit her right in the throat.
As Yukari bowled over gagging at the impact, she took to the throat I leapt upwards and with a massive, summoned stone war hammer I brought it straight down onto her head, ramming her deep underground.
"You want to seal me bitch? You can suffer the fucking consequences!" I yelled as I made a massive sword of pure molten stone grow above my mountain, taller than even the Empire State Building and then I stabbed it deep into the earth, ramming its massive blade into Yukari pushing her ever deeper into the earth before I twisted the blade into the earth and as the molten stone melted the surroundings, I instantly cooled it making all the molten materials freeze over into an airtight seal around the spiritual entity while also dimensionally locking the area around her.
"Wait, Jake please stop this!" Ran begged me having seen our ultra-violent almost cataclysmic battle to Gensokyo and realized instantly that regardless of Yukari's powers over making gaps between concepts so long as she was withing my mountain she was merely an ant dancing across my palm.
"Ran... Why should I? She threatened me with what I frankly fear most..." I then looked to the still steaming massive sword that towered over me. "Ran Yakumo, I am not a tool nor a battery for someone's grand plan... I refuse to become that. I will literally kill myself before facing the fate of being locked into darkness with only my thoughts to drive me mad."
I then looked back to the shaking fox woman and sighed. "Ran, what can I do really? If I let her go, are you telling me she isn't petty or vindictive enough to not go for revenge?" At that Ran could only look to the ground as Yukari was many things. Lazy mischievous, but above all else, petty, those that slight her will pay a lifetime of retribution for crossing her.
"I will let her face the reality of being sealed... I don't know what to do here other than seal or kill her Ran. I like you, I really do, but I won't be fucked over because your master is a cunt that refused my hand of friendship... Actually." I couldn't help but groan as I took in Ran and Chen who were standing beside one another now looking scared as I cut myself off and then with a sigh, I took away the blessings and magical tools I had given Ran.
"Ran Yakumo, due to your loyalty to Yukari Yakumo. I formally dissolve your role as my advisor, please take Chen and leave under your own power. Lest I be forced to remove you." I said softly as this whole situation was fucked and having Ran who I had sealed away her actual master around my cathedral and other stuff just asked for her to try to free Yukari.
"Moria... You can't do this. Gensokyo's barriers will crumble without Yukari managing them. Without Yukari what will Gensokyo do if those Dimension Lost wielder comes in here with an army?" She asked desperately and I wordlessly waved my hand with a portal appearing behind the duo and sucking them in and depositing them at the edge of my mountains influence.
But I wanted them away so I could project my voice to them remotely as my previous dinner guests were still looking at me with fear. "Ran, the barriers of Gensokyo can be worked on by you who has some ability with Gaps, or better yet tell Reimu to get off her ass and take care of her shrine so the barrier itself isnt so fucking weak to begin with. And should a wanna be crusader ride in here wanting to purge this world of anything supernatural well... I will just kill them and be done with it as I have shown my strength in defeating Yukari."
With that little monologue out of the way I turned to Sakuya and Tenma who looked back to me demurely seemingly not at all scared that I was going to snap on her like Yuyuko and some of the others looked to be.
"Sakuya, Tenma tonight's events have drained me mentally... I will be retiring for the night so please escort our guests out." I said as my human avatar teleported back into its throne and went limp as I pulled much of my consciousness out of it to dwell within my mountain form so I could watch the form of Yukari attempting to free herself from the seal I put her in.
"Yeah... Yukari you hit my trigger button." I said with my voice coming to Yukari like the sounds of a hundred rocks rolling down in an avalanche.
Hearing my 'voice' Yukari stopped her struggles and looked around her tiny coffin sized little air pocket I left her. "So now what child? Do you plan on just sealing me away and tossing away the key?" She asked and as much as I wanted to shrink down her little coffin to reminder her where she was and how sass wasn't going to help her, I couldn't bother.
"I don't know what to do with you frankly." I answered honestly. "I welcomed you into my home, I welcomed Ran and Chen into my home and freely offered them divine blessings. Yet you refused my hand of friendship and a new chance at a working relationship at worst and instead incite a fight under guest rights..."
As Yukari went silent and didn't respond I sighed before continuing. "I dismissed Ran from my service and allowed her to freely leave my land." I said and Yukari scoffed with her golden eyes glaring up at me seemingly able to pinpoint the strongest congregation of my consciousness.
"My Ran won't give up. She will hound you after she gives you a couple days to cool down and will probably offer the world and herself in order to have me freed." Yukari said spitefully as she realized she had no power in this situation and even worse she knew that with how much of a 'good' guy that I was that I wouldn't accept Ran's offer.
"That may be... But as I said previously, I don't know what to do with you." Then as a heavy silence continued between us, I softly spoke as like wind brushing across her face as the light she conjured was smothered and my power surrounded her.
"But I do know that you need to understand my fear. My absolute fear of being sealed and facing only darkness and my own thoughts. Yukari Yakumo enjoy your time out in the situation you threatened to place me in." I said with the earth surrounding Yukari tightened, with her being completely held in place unable to see anything in the complete darkness as well as the complete true silence that filled her ears.
"I wonder if Youkai actually do get sensory deprivation..." I muttered as I pulled my mind back me into my avatar and with a thud, I slammed the back of my head into the throne back of my throne before I leaned forward to bury my face into my hands as I contemplated what the fuck I could do in this situation.
