Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1522

He knew exactly what "preparations" Kousaka Kyosuke was referring to.

Currently, Seimei wields the Ame no Habakiri, a weapon that has absorbed the power of the evil god Tsukuyomi.

Originally, this divine weapon could only be wielded by gods of high rank and great power, but Susanoo said that the Ame no Habakiri, made from his bones and the blood of Yamata no Orochi, could be wielded only if one possessed two kinds of resolve.

In fact, he could easily wield it, and even fully utilize the power of Tsukuyomi.

Based on this, Seimei was naturally able to provide crucial support at critical moments, support that could change the course of events.

"allow……"

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was about to use his power to protect Seimei and head to another confirmed "spot of light," that is, another parallel universe, he suddenly sensed an extremely familiar aura.

Yes, extremely familiar.

Knowing it so well that Kyosuke Kousaka didn't have time to say anything more before unleashing the demonic sword he was ready to summon at any moment!

"Oh?"

A very faint, soft exclamation.

A majestic, noble, and elegant silver-haired man in a divine robe raised his hand and used his divine power to catch the demonic sword that was swinging at him.

Clang clang clang~

The pitch-black sword energy surged and tore through the sky like a ferocious beast, its cries echoing endlessly in the high sky.

"The cunning serpent god."

A gentle voice suddenly rang out amidst the fierce battle.

The silver-haired man, who was still locked in a stalemate with Kousaka Kyosuke, was none other than Yamata no Orochi, who had regained his divine status and possessed all his power. With a casual glance, he spotted Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi is one of his collaborators, and his ability to travel to other dimensions so smoothly is definitely inseparable from Tsukuyomi's help.

However, it seems that it still failed.

"Yama no Orochi!!"

Boom boom boom boom——!

An angry roar, brimming with fury, resounded along with the thunder.

In the torrent of fate, yet another person appeared.

He came from the same direction as the Yamata no Orochi—that's right, it was Susanoo.

Susanoo, who was constantly trying to stop Orochi from destroying other branching worlds, was clearly filled with anger and charged directly at Orochi.

Faced with the combined attack of Kousaka Kyosuke, "Tsukuyomi" and Susanoo, Orochi did feel some pressure, but he couldn't help but laugh.

"They're so enthusiastic."

Tiny, shimmering snakes appeared out of thin air, constantly emerging and darting in all directions.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who was still using his sharp sword energy to try to break through the Orochi's defense, suddenly became serious, and his eyes emitted a strange light.

"Serpent God, why are you silent?" Tsukuyomi continued to harass Orochi with gentle, yet actually seductive, words.

With a smile on his face, the Yamata no Orochi used his immense divine power to summon a spherical protective shield. Sword energy, lightning... all of them disappeared like drops of ink falling into a river, almost instantly.

"Unexpectedly, this moment has made me a little cautious. You guys are very good."

Kyosuke Kosaka is much stronger than when they last met.

Someone in the shadows is manipulating the divine power of Tsukuyomi; it's likely someone is using Ame no Habakiri. Orochi has guessed who it is.

And finally—Orochi's old rival, Susanoo.

Orochi had nothing new to say about Susanoo; after all, they knew each other very well. He still thought of Susanoo as someone even more like the sun than Amaterasu, a very dazzling fellow.

Unfortunately, without the power of divinity, it would be extremely difficult to fight against him.

Or are we underestimating him?

Well!

Kyosuke Kousaka endured the mental damage caused by forcibly casting illusions and continued to focus his attention on the Yamata no Orochi.

"Illusions are completely useless; his powerful divine strength has blocked everything..."

As Kousaka Kyosuke repeatedly used his sword skills to generate powerful sword energy, he deeply felt the overwhelming power of Orochi.

Using only the power of its own rank, Orochi could easily disregard all attacks.

Even his illusion technique, which could easily counter Tsukuyomi, was countered.

Of course, this also shows that Orochi was indeed forced to show some of his true abilities at this time.

"Yamata no Orochi, you have no right to judge the world!"

Susanoo kept summoning divine lightning, trying to break through the Yamata no Orochi's protective shield, while also speaking.

The Orochi's lips curled into a playful smile, and it increased its power several times over, blocking Kousaka Kyosuke's sword attack and shielding itself from Tsukuyomi's slightly troubling words.

"The world has its own destiny, you should know that. The destiny is that I will completely bring this world into 'nothingness.' We're already caught in this torrent of fate, are you still going to lie to your conscience and deceive yourself into thinking that the torrent of fate hasn't reached its end?"

"You are truly stubborn, Susanoo. No matter what, going against the current will only lead to your destruction. Why do you insist on doing this?"

Susanoo's expression had become calm.

He summoned even stronger bolts of lightning with increasing speed, and he didn't forget to reply.

Even if I'm shattered to pieces, I'll drag this stubborn fate down with me, and you, the culprit, along with me!

Orochi chuckled and turned its gaze to Kyosuke Kousaka, who was simply unleashing sword energy.

"So, Kyosuke, what's your opinion?"

It's like a friendly greeting from a close friend or acquaintance, with a gentle and polite tone.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, but his eyes remained icy as he looked at Orochi.

"Even if the world is to be destroyed, it must not be destroyed by your hands!"

The Yamata no Orochi continued to smile: "Why do you do this? I can see a brighter future for you, why choose a path that leads to a tragic future and a pitiful end?"

To this day, Orochi still cannot quite see through Kyosuke Kousaka.

Besides knowing that Kyosuke Kousaka is an alien.

Nothing else is known.

Of course, Orochi's curiosity wasn't particularly strong; it would just occasionally go and observe Kyosuke Kousaka to see what was going on with him.

Now, Orochi is truly quite surprised.

Whether it was the divine sword with the power of "nothingness" or the lightning and light power on Kyosuke Kousaka's body, it all felt very new to Orochi.

In just a few short days, Kyosuke Kousaka's strength has advanced at an alarming rate. What could be the reason for this?

"Could it be that they're entrusting their future to this person? Are they planning to use the same power as me against me?"

Orochi vaguely sensed something amiss in Kousaka Kyosuke's mind, and a smirk played on his lips.

Not killing Kyosuke Kousaka was arguably the most worthwhile decision he ever made.

"The future? The ending? Didn't I just say that?" Kousaka Kyosuke's smile faded. "These are not things you can decide. If you can, then you can tell me when the time comes."

Communication should not be done casually during combat.

However, given that he clearly couldn't effectively attack Orochi, he had no choice but to resort to verbal arguments to persuade Orochi.

He cannot allow Orochi to continue his sophistry!

"You spout nonsense about freedom, sin, and the inevitable end of the world; then I'll take you with me to the destruction you crave, to that 'nothingness' you so lavishly praise!!"

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a cold shout.

He exuded a magnificent and majestic, ancient and desolate aura, and the purple-glowing demonic sword emitted a dazzling will that seemed to be tangible, as if the world was suddenly illuminated.

Orochi, who was still working with Kyosuke Kousaka to break through Orochi's defenses, was slightly taken aback.

"Lord Amaterasu..."

It is the power of Lady Amaterasu!

At this moment, Susanoo realized that he had not misjudged Kousaka Kyosuke. Kousaka Kyosuke actually possessed unimaginable potential and had actually unleashed the power of the God King Amaterasu.

That is the most powerful force against evil.

"Come on! Human who has inherited Amaterasu's power, let me see just how much worse you are than her?"

The Yamata no Orochi directly removed the sturdy and tenacious protective shield, and with a wave of its hand, summoned a giant white snake wearing a strange mask.

The appearance of the giant serpent caused the surrounding starlight to lose its brilliance in an instant, and also brought terrifying spatial turbulence and pitch-black waves.

“I am no match for Lady Amaterasu, but I am even more determined to kill you.”

As Kousaka Kyosuke spoke slowly, he seemed to be surrounded by light, or as if he himself were the light, and the world's lost radiance was regained. He raised his hand and slashed straight down at the location of the Yamata no Orochi...

I've noticed I'm losing hair, so I guess I'll have to try to go to bed early. I often hear my family say that hair transplants are very expensive, and some of my family members experience hair loss. I'll try to finish updating before midnight in the coming days. That's all, sorry, please understand... (°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)
