Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

At this moment.

Amaterasu, who transformed into the sun, did indeed protect the last piece of land, but he was able to further reduce the amount of energy consumed by Amaterasu through a barrier.

That was probably the only thing he could do.

As for more? He probably...

"Don't force yourself," Seimei couldn't help but say before leaving.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to laugh, but it was hard for him to: "This is what I wanted to tell you, so be careful."

As he spoke, he began to create a barrier by making hand seals. Longkui, whose spirit was attached to the demonic sword, stood guard around the area, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

Longkui vividly remembers the time when Orochi's sneak attack caused everyone to be completely wiped out.

I'm starting to feel traumatized.

"Amaterasu-sama..."

As Kyosuke Kosaka gazed at the sun, which remained unchanged, silently radiating a soft, warm golden light, a complex and indescribable emotion welled up within him.

It was a mixture of indescribable discomfort and emotions that I couldn't quite define as either anger or regret.

The discomfort goes without saying, the anger is directed at the culprit, and the regret... is because he regrets not coming sooner.

Perhaps if I had come sooner, the world wouldn't have ended up like this?

He couldn't explain it either.

All that is known is that the great battle may have ended, and the aura of Susanoo can no longer be sensed. All that can be seen is this ark world that seems to be drifting on a sea of ​​doomsday.

"I'm sorry, Lady Amaterasu, this is all I can do."

After consuming 80% of his own power to create a recyclable barrier that can absorb negative energy as its energy source, Kyosuke Kousaka had no choice but to bid farewell to Amaterasu, who had become the sun in this parallel universe.

The Amaterasu he knew before would probably transform into the sun to protect Takamagahara and the human world not long after he left.

This world prioritizes protecting humanity... after all, humanity is on the verge of extinction.

It's much worse than the world he lives in.

I wonder what the situation is like in Takamagahara?

Where is Susanoo? What exactly does Yamata no Orochi want to do?

These are questions that Kyosuke Kousaka needs to answer himself.

"Lord Amaterasu..."

Longkui gazed deeply at the sun in the sky, her heart in turmoil, as if a sharp knife had been plunged into her chest, causing her great pain.

She never imagined that Amaterasu, whom she had just met and who resembled her mother, would fall into such a weak state.

"Let's go."

Suppressing the urge to sigh, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately flew towards Takamagahara.

Longkui was about to follow when suddenly she noticed a fist-sized ball of light slowly flowing out of the sun and flying towards her.

"a!"

"Hmm... I saw it."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who immediately noticed the situation, replied.

He immediately walked toward the ball of light, and then saw that the ball of light was slowly approaching him, as if it wanted to merge into his body.

After a moment's hesitation, Kyosuke Kosaka still did not choose to back down.

The moment the ball of light touched him, it immediately merged into him. He could instantly feel his perception of light, heat, fire, and all other aspects increasing at an alarming rate.

"Thank you, Lady Amaterasu."

Kyosuke Kousaka quickly regained his senses, bowed deeply to the sun from afar, and then turned and left.

He couldn't think of anything else to say but thank you.

Aside from leaving to go to Takamagahara to find out what was going on, he didn't know what else he could do.

This is his current situation.

"Thank you, Lady Amaterasu." Longkui emerged from the demonic sword, bowed just like Kousaka Kyosuke, and then returned to the sword to follow Kousaka Kyosuke.

And so, in this narrow corner of the world, only one sun remained, floating alone, radiating a warm light that dispelled the bewilderment and fear of all living beings...

Gao Tianyuan.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at the scene of ruins without any surprise.

He also found Seimei through the magic of communication.

Having basically explored the surrounding area, Seimei shook his head: "We haven't seen any trace of the gods either; they've probably moved to another place."

“I will go back to the other side of the torrent of fate and try to search for him. At present, it seems that Lord Susanoo has gone to another dimension, since I cannot sense any trace of his presence here.”

"...Okay, but you should rest for a while first. The exertion you just experienced is a burden for you no matter what."

Seimei responded, and at the same time began to persuade Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he noticed that the threads connecting him to his body were moving. Could this be...?

460. Attention in Parallel Dimensions / Encounter with Yamata no Orochi Again / Battle

That's right, it must be the God of Marriage!

The thought that flashed through Kousaka Kyosuke's mind caused him to stop in his tracks.

He looked at Seimei and said, "I've discovered the presence of the Goddess of Bonds in this world. She seems to be in poor condition."

"I'll go. Just tell me the location, and I'll go provide support," Seimei said.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "I did take a lot of energy helping Amaterasu, but it's not to the point that I'm unable to move around."

The god of fate is someone he knows well, probably a good friend or brother.

Even if this is a God of Fate from another time and space, he cannot sit idly by.

"If we're going to act together, we must be extra careful."

Seimei saw that Kousaka Kyosuke insisted and didn't have many objections.

After all, he knew very well that Kousaka Kyosuke was far stronger than him, and even in his severely injured state, he was still extremely powerful.

And so, Kyosuke Kousaka, accompanied by Seimei, followed the aura of the God of Marriage to search for her.

Soon after, they found a small black cat on the very edge of Takamagahara.

The cat was in a crevice of a broken wall, almost as if it were buried, and in extremely poor condition—not only was it unconscious, but it was also very weak.

“With the power of the Heavenly Feather Blade, if I’m not mistaken, this is probably the aftermath of a battle,” Seimei said.

Kyosuke Kosaka picked up the kitten and carefully placed it on a newly laid square cotton pillow, treating it while observing its condition.

"The divine power has been almost completely shattered; now it can only be maintained at this level..."

Seimei: "If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll need to find other gods."

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka disagreed with the idea: "It would be better to try placing them in another world. This world is already... not much hope left."

After saying that, Kyosuke Kosaka finally couldn't help but sigh.

The world is filled with the aura of Yamata no Orochi. If I'm not mistaken, even if Yamata no Orochi is not dead, his body has already polluted the world to the point that there is almost no possibility of purification.

It's estimated that rebuilding this world with "nothingness" would be much easier than purifying it.

“Take the Goddess of Love to another world…” Seimei was quite surprised when he heard Kousaka Kyosuke’s idea. “Leaving this world and going to another world may not be suitable for the Goddess of Love.”

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded: "I understand that too, but there is almost no pure land in this world right now. Even the people on the land that Amaterasu-sama protects so fiercely... most of them have been corrupted and degenerated. If Enmusubi continues to stay here, there will be no hope of survival."

"Judging from her current state, it will probably take her several hundred years to recover to her original form. She is too badly injured, or rather, the power of the Heavenly Feather Blade is too great. Its ability to restrain gods is indeed very strong, and I can clearly feel it through her injuries now."

It's true that Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't really want to make decisions for others subjectively.

The problem is that it would probably take hundreds of years for the gods of this world to restore it, and this world could be heading towards its end at any time.

Furthermore, Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't know when the Goddess of Union, now transformed into a kitten, will awaken, so let's find her a suitable world to recuperate in.

Otherwise, the only path left is complete extinction.

“If we take the Enmusubi away carelessly, something unexpected might happen. The matter of time travel is extremely complicated, and the slightest oversight could lead to the complete loss of our existence in this world. So we should at least ask Lord Ara beforehand,” Seimei advised again.

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard what Seimei said, he finally made up his mind: "You're right, we should at least ask Lord Ara about this."

Next, he first created a hidden barrier for the cat-shaped Enmusubi in a secluded corner of Takamagahara, and then placed a lot of food that could be preserved for a long time with magic. Then, he left this apocalyptic world that was only a few steps away from destruction with Seimei... and returned to the position of the torrent of fate.

Having temporarily dealt with the matter of the Enmusubi-no-Mae cat, he must now continue his search for Susanoo.

If I'm not mistaken, Susanoo is constantly trying to stop Orochi from destroying the future divergent worlds based on the "past" world they previously traversed.

Once Orochi has destroyed all these future worlds, it will be able to more easily manipulate anything in the "past" world, and then it will be even more confident in resolving everything...

"Found it. I can be absolutely certain this time. Seimei, get ready."

After quickly adjusting his own condition, Kousaka Kyosuke solemnly gave Seimei some instructions.

Seimei said, "I understand."
