Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Even Susanoo didn't react in time. Because his divine power was still protecting Kyoto, his reaction was naturally much slower than usual.

The main reason is that Tsukuyomi herself is quite powerful in the Moon Ocean environment.

“It seems that Tsukuyomi is planning to fight against her fate one last time…” Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Instead of being overjoyed that he didn't have to fight, he sighed with relief.

As Ara just said, Tsukuyomi's attempt to fight against fate through destruction has already resulted in defeat.

There were clearly other peaceful methods, but Tsukuyomi chose the most violent one.

"I can fight against the 'destiny' here in Japan, the so-called fate and karma, because I'm not from this region. But what about the Central Plains...?"

For a moment, Kyosuke Kosaka thought about his future again.

Since Tsukuyomi and Ara are going to have a final battle, he decided not to bother with it.

The main problem is that I interfered myself, and I suspect Huang is unhappy about it.

Like Susanoo, who is now patiently waiting, as if he is certain that Ara will defeat Tsukuyomi.

"Are you really not going to help Lord Ara?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa looked at the others with some uncertainty.

He noticed that even Qingming was deep in thought with his head down, seemingly unwilling to speak, and appeared quite conflicted.

As before, Minamoto no Hiromasa is someone who doesn't like to abandon his comrades, so naturally he can't bear to see his comrades in trouble!

At this moment, Minamoto no Hiromasa regarded Ara as a companion he could entrust his life to, but now he seems to be watching him die without offering any help. How could he possibly sit still?

"The desolation of today will not be defeated by the brilliance of lies; we just need to wait patiently."

Susanoo said to Minamoto no Hiromasa.

Seimei: "I trust Lord Ara."

"Hey……"

Minamoto no Hiromasa opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.

He glanced at the divine army, star messengers, and other Takamagahara deities who had previously surrounded and attacked their group, then quickly looked away.

These Takamagahara deities had already become Tsukuyomi's complete enemies when she revealed the truth.

Even if someone isn't very smart, they probably wouldn't think that Tsukuyomi would easily let those who know the truth off the hook.

Because of this, neither side, which had been fighting each other, intended to engage in battle again, nor did they intend to communicate.

"This is truly an unexpected development," Yaobikuni exclaimed.

She had expected a great battle, but Tsukuyomi decided to fight Ara to determine the outcome and the course of their fates.

Kyosuke Kosaka chimed in, "I never expected that Tsukuyomi, who always seemed to be playing tricks, would suddenly become so charismatic."

He suspected that this was related to his previous illusions.

Even now, he is having trouble adjusting his emotions, so it's unlikely that Tsukuyomi will be able to adjust so quickly either.

If Kyosuke Kousaka suffered a self-inflicted injury of 500, then Tsukuyomi would have suffered a wound of 1000.

It's certain that his condition won't be better than Kyosuke Kousaka's.

"In any case, it is still necessary to prepare for continued fighting," Minamoto no Yorimitsu said, his gaze fixed on Seimei. "Go and tell those bewitched gods that at least when Tsukuyomi reappears, the situation should not repeat itself."

"Eh? Why is it Lord Seimei?" Shiro was unhappy that his master Seimei was being ordered around by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Seimei said, "Shiro, right now, I'm the only one who's suitable to be here."

Xiaobai paused, looking at the others—the injured Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura protecting Kousaka Kyosuke, Minamoto no Hiromasa with a clearly bad temper, Yaobikuni whose words weren't always pleasant, the taciturn Onikiri… and Minamoto no Yorimitsu who spoke very harshly??

"Then if I go with you, Lord Seimei, perhaps the Tsukuyomi will appear at any time..."

And so, Seimei took Shiro to communicate with the gods of Takamagahara with whom he had previously had conflicts.

"Kyosuke, let me take a look at your injuries, shall I?"

"Then I'll leave it to Lord Susanoo."

Seeing that Susanoo had suddenly extended an olive branch, how could Kyosuke Kousaka easily refuse?

He also knew that Susanoo must have seen through his imitation of using the power of lightning.

"...The use of lightning in illusions is quite unique, but the willpower is still not strong enough."

Susanoo used his hands remotely to neutralize the effects of the lightning on Kyosuke Kousaka, and even gave him a few pointers.

Upon hearing this advice, Kousaka Kyosuke was utterly shocked: "Then, Lord Susanoo, what do you think we should do?"

How can we not treat matters of the soul and spirit with utmost care?

Otherwise you'll become an idiot!

Susanoo said, "Just think about moving forward without hesitation. Whether it's illusion or anything else, if you're going to use the power of lightning, then you can't have the slightest hesitation or retreat. Caution is also included."

"...If we're not careful, Lord Susanoo might not be able to see me still alive today."

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly felt a little tired talking to Susanoo.

He thought to himself, "This must be because my fighting style is different from Susanoo's."

It is ultimately related to the underlying philosophy.

"Yes, caution is the most important thing for a warrior, but it's best not to be cautious when you use this destructive power of lightning. You... this is the crystallization of my understanding of using the power of lightning, you can study it."

Susanoo hesitated for a moment, but still passed on his understanding of the power of lightning to Kyosuke Kousaka.

His hesitation stemmed from his complete disbelief that the other beings who wielded his destructive lightning power would survive.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka might be an exception.

Susanoo had heard Ara vaguely mention that Kousaka Kyosuke was also burdened with another destiny...

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Susanoo."

Kyosuke Kosaka made no attempt to refuse; he desperately needed to gain insight into the power of lightning.

The lightning power wielded by Susanoo is beyond description.

That involves a concept far more advanced than death, and is absolutely a very important means to contend with the Heavenly Emperor.

"Since your illusions are prone to backlash, don't focus on that for now. Start by improving your physical body."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Susanoo."

Kousaka Kyosuke replied with respect.

Those who achieve first come first.

Susanoo was far superior to Kyosuke Kousaka, and since Susanoo was willing to guide him, he naturally respected him as a teacher.

Longkui, still possessing the spirit within the demonic sword, was overjoyed to see this situation.

She understood that if Kousaka Kyosuke continued to grow stronger, he would be able to go back soon.

She will return to her homeland and seek revenge against the gods who treated humans like insects...

Another half hour passed.

Just when everyone was getting a little impatient, Huang returned.

He was the only one who came back.

"From now on, the light of truth will no longer be obscured by falsehood, and the fate of humanity and the fate of the gods will no longer be controlled by lies..."

Huang uttered words that sounded like a declaration.

He didn't look sad; his overall demeanor showed a very strong will.

Kyosuke Kosaka breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over for the time being, and he could finally rest.

This emotional wound really needs some rest.

Day 495 of crossing

The location is at the Shuibushi Manor.

Kousaka Kyosuke, still lying on the tatami mat, lazily gazed at the scenery of the courtyard outside.

The sky was overcast, which made any beautiful scenery uninteresting.

"Tsukuyomi has been dealt with, but there are other evil gods that have not yet appeared, and the Yamata no Orochi whose whereabouts are unknown... These cannot be dealt with so quickly, so I can take a break for now."

Kyosuke Kosaka quietly pondered his future plans, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul and had to consider other ways to heal.

Yes, we should have a feast tonight, not only to celebrate but also to relax for ourselves and everyone else...

450. Notice of the Banquet / Miku's Actions

Thinking about the banquet tonight to celebrate the upcoming brief period of peace, Kyosuke Kosaka became much more energetic.

When Miku brought the food over, I also asked her to help convey this information.

“Okay, I’ll let everyone know.” Miku nodded, immediately understanding what Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to do.

Having known each other for almost two years, she was naturally very familiar with the man in front of her.
