Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1613

It remains to be seen whether this time it can be stopped and the disaster can be averted.

A loud laugh rang out after Amaterasu finished speaking.

It was the Yamata no Orochi laughing, and it was laughing wildly.

"Heh, people don't want to see things clearly. They call anything beautiful or good if it's shrouded in mystery. But have any of you ever thought that if Amaterasu hadn't separated evil from the world, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many tragedies?"

As he spoke, Orochi looked at the others and also at the projection in the sky that had not yet been removed.

The wilderness seemed to have stabilized the projection in a fixed form, and the long-lasting battle did not affect the projection, which was similar to the live broadcast function in the modern world.

Therefore, people in Kyoto could all see the battle taking place here.

Although Amaterasu had completely lost its value after being awakened.

But let's put that aside for now. Kousaka Kyosuke thinks we need to quickly send reinforcements to Amaterasu.

If the matter is allowed to continue to escalate, both Amaterasu and the belief system she established, centered around Takamagahara, will face significant scrutiny.

Given Kyosuke Kousaka's understanding of human nature, it's not impossible that people might start complaining about Amaterasu.

"The so-called 'evil' has never had a definition from the beginning, but the fact is, you are the one who actively disrupted the world order. Don't confuse the concepts!"

Even Minamoto no Hiromasa, who had finally recovered from the great battle, couldn't help but criticize.

"How are you any different from those villains who kill innocent people with a knife and then pin the blame on the swordsmith?"

He never listened to a single word from Yamata no Orochi from the very beginning.

Every time I hear this, it feels like I'm listening to utter nonsense. It seems to make sense, but every single sentence is outrageous. And they even call this freedom?

He is simply a lunatic!

Seimei said to Yamata no Orochi very seriously:

"People may be blind to the truth, or shy away from the light. But they will always yearn for the truth, for reality, for to possess the truth. Fear stems from yearning; without desire, one is invincible, even when it comes to the truth itself..."

Kyosuke Kousaka was a little dizzy, but he really intended to reason with Orochi.

Their minds are full of fallacies, and what's worse is that they want the world to accept these fallacies. Isn't that just making them universally condemned? It seems that Seimei is trying to persuade them.

But is this possible?

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was tempted to try to "physically persuade" Kousaka, stopped himself from doing so.

The reason we are not taking action at this moment is because the situation is delicate, and our ideologies and values ​​are clashing, so it is a "verbal battle".

Although it will inevitably lead to "physical conflict" in the end, the one who strikes first always gives people the impression of being unreasonable.

Besides, at this moment, Orochi was only slightly injured.

Adding Amaterasu and the now-unused Ara greatly increases the chances of winning, but the ultimate cost remains unknown.

"Let's hold off for now. Lord Ara should be making some deductions. I also need to conserve my strength for a while."

"Since you are all very dissatisfied with my opinion, then this time I will follow Amaterasu's example and abandon all my sins."

"kill!"

Upon hearing Orochi's words, Kyosuke Kousaka charged forward without hesitation, accompanied by Susanoo.

The two transformed into golden lightning and attacked the Yamata no Orochi, whose body was gradually cracking as it spoke. The entire sequence of movements was fluid and graceful.

"is that useful?"

The Yamata no Orochi, now free, laughed heartily. He planned to detonate his power to forcibly open a connection between this world and the other side of the Void Sea, thus summoning the goddess of destruction—Izanami.

Why do this?

Because he wanted to see what Takamagahara looked like when he was completely destroyed, and he also wanted to see what it would be like for Amaterasu to become a new goddess of destruction if she were to win the battle against Izanami. If that really happened, it would be wonderful for him, and in the end, wouldn't he be the ultimate winner?

Yamata no Orochi believed that he would not end this period so easily...

boom!

Ripples spread through the void, and streaks of blood-red miasma swept outwards with the air currents.

Just moments before, Kousaka Kyosuke was almost upon Orochi, but the next moment, he and Susanoo were violently thrown aside by a terrifying force.

At this point, Kyosuke Kousaka had no choice but to focus his attention on the others.

Ultimately, once the Yamata no Orochi, at almost its peak, unleashed its power, even Susanoo could only avoid its attacks.

"Susano'o, Amahahaza!"

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard Amaterasu's voice, he immediately felt relieved.

In the brief moment between casting powerful protective spells, he finally took a good look at the situation and found that everyone was well protected, while he himself had been blasted away to a distance from them by the power of the Yamata no Orochi.

Kyosuke Kosaka also carefully noticed many familiar, concerned glances.

It's okay, it's okay.

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to say that.

Considering that this was not convincing enough, he really wanted to go over, but in the end he stopped and observed the situation.

This is clearly a scene from Susanoo's story.

Those purified Ame no Habakiri were manipulated by Susanoo and stabbed one by one at the Yamata no Orochi, whose body was constantly radiating terrifying blood energy.

After a dozen or so breaths, the strange cracks on the Yamata no Orochi's body disappeared without a trace, and it collapsed to the ground as if all its strength had been drained.

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka remained silent, finding the behavior rather clownish.

Knowing full well the extent of Orochi's ambitions, he didn't bother to say more.

"I really want to take this opportunity to finish him off with one sword."

Unfortunately, the Yamata no Orochi cannot be killed by ordinary means. Even its self-destruction just now only destroyed its power. As time goes by, it will definitely recover.

"Damn it, that scared the living daylights out of me!"

The slightly naive complaint drew Kousaka Kyosuke's thoughts.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the God of Love and thought that this god was really a source of amusement.

The solemn atmosphere seemed to lighten considerably because of the presence of this deity.

"The fate of the world is finally moving forward according to the prophecy in the sea of ​​stars." Huang calmly looked up at the sky.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He vaguely saw an eye appear, like a hunter eyeing its prey, and in that gaze, Kyosuke Kousaka saw a bottomless pool of stagnant water...

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"woke up."

Feeling his body being violently shaken, Kousaka Kyosuke looked helplessly at the Goddess of Fate who was walking towards him.

He was only in a daze for less than two seconds.

"Seriously, how could you dare to look directly at something so bizarre?" Enmusubi looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with slight displeasure.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the Yamata no Orochi, which was already bound by chains of lightning in the distance, and said, "Let's go back first."

"Are you OK?"

"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine. As soon as Amaterasu's light shone on me, all my injuries completely disappeared. As expected of Amaterasu."

"Well……"

The God of Fate was speechless.

Why is it so hard to praise her? It's different when it comes to the God-King.

She is a god too.

They don't even consider who arrived first when danger struck.

"Lord Enmusubi is wonderful too. Seeing you here makes me feel much better."

"This kind of praise... is so weird, I don't have to say it."

"In any case, this is the end of the matter for now," Kousaka Kyosuke said leisurely, waving his hand in the direction of Kagura, Yaobikuni, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and the others.

The Yamata no Orochi has been captured, but this did not prevent it from opening a small hole in the world and attracting Izanami.

But at least they caught this guy, and there's also the even taller Amaterasu protecting him, which seems like a good thing no matter how you look at it.

I wonder how everyone is doing on the other side of the small world? It seems there's not enough sunlight there. I'll have to shamelessly ask Amaterasu for a little bit, otherwise the harvest will definitely be mediocre...

511. Destruction is imminent / Life in a small world

"As the balance of Yin and Yang gradually crumbles, the key to nothingness appears, unlocking the gate sealed since the beginning of creation—this was a prophecy from the Star Sea. Now, the fate of the world is proceeding according to this prophecy..."

When Kousaka Kyosuke and Enmusubi arrived at the circle centered around Amaterasu, they heard Ara talking about serious matters.

The captured Yamata no Orochi was set aside and guarded by the divine army.

Judging from the fact that Orochi is unconscious with its eyes closed, it seems to have been completely sealed away.

After all, his act of self-destructing his true form had consumed a great deal of power, so it was normal that he was easily sealed by Susanoo while he was in a weakened state.
