Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Okay, you can ask me after you finish eating. The same goes for everyone else, but of course, you need to think carefully about what kind of question you want to ask. I'll be unhappy if you throw me a really stupid question."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and replied.

In his eyes, Horikita Manabu was definitely the most qualified subordinate.

Leaving aside the issue of Hachiman Hikigaya, if she were female, she could probably play the lead role in a morning drama.

Ayanokouji is alright, but his pragmatist aura is too obvious. I don't know if others have noticed it, but Kousaka Kyosuke certainly has. Although he would probably do well in any era, he would probably have a hard time making any close friends. Perhaps he doesn't need any, or maybe having Hachiman is enough for him.

As for Shijou Tei... he should be second only to Horikita Manabu.

They are decisive and have a certain human touch, but they are probably not very good at relationships.

Having inadvertently heard about some of Shijo Tei's marital situation, Kousaka Kyosuke naturally felt it wasn't good enough.

However, this is just his personal opinion.

It has many advantages.

After finishing their meal, which took about an hour, Kousaka Kyosuke resolved the training issues the group had been facing. He also gave them some newly made protective items before leaving.

Strengthening communication, understanding the situation, and providing guidance on cultivation... it took almost three hours to resolve everything.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought it was alright.

What needs to be done has been done; now it's a matter of "doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate."

If anyone were to die accidentally in the subsequent battle, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't have much regret about it.

I just hope it doesn't happen.

Day 514 of crossing

Today, Kyosuke Kosaka received news from Ara.

However, this was not news from the evil god, but news from Susanoo.

Not long after Susanoo left, the executioner god returned once again.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, understood the importance of the problem.

Things may change, and this time it may enter a more urgent phase of combat.

all in all.

Kousaka Kyosuke, along with Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Yaobikuni, and others who had also received the news, headed to Kyoto.

Upon arriving at the location, they did not see Susanoo.

"Lord Huang, this is..."

Kyosuke Kosaka asked directly.

A major battle may be about to begin. If we don't find out more details, it will be difficult to make arrangements at the manor.

When it really comes to the stage of emergency preparation, all methods of action will have to change, and the impact will be considerable.

Therefore, it's best to understand the details more thoroughly.

"Lord Susanoo is currently pursuing the Yamata no Orochi."

"What?!"×2

Xiaobai and Yuanboya were greatly surprised.

The two were perfectly synchronized in their postures and expressions, but Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't paying attention to that; he was more focused on analyzing why the situation had changed.

"Yamata no Orochi's fighting power is indeed somewhat inferior to Susanoo's. Although their strengths are roughly equal, there is still a gap between them. In addition, Susanoo's fighting style is... reckless."

“I’ve been using the Star Sea to spy on Orochi’s movements. Last night, I suddenly noticed that his aura was weakening. After confirming it several times, I finally realized that this was a great opportunity…”

"Could this really not be a trap set by Orochi?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa has questioned this.

He certainly believed in Ara's abilities, but the problem was that Orochi's schemes had been used far too many times, and each time they were extremely cunning and vicious. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the ancestor of schemers.

Even though Minamoto no Hiromasa was not afraid of Yamata no Orochi, he was quite wary of Yamata no Orochi's methods.

“It’s not a trap,” Huang continued to explain. “I also discovered that he had the aura of at least two evil gods on him, which is why his aura weakened.”

Yaobikuni exclaimed in surprise, "This is too..."

Yaobikuni immediately realized what crazy thing Yamata no Orochi was doing.

"The Yamata no Orochi, it devoured other evil gods." Seimei's eyes showed a hint of disbelief; he was also surprised by this.

As an Onmyoji, he learned various Onmyoji arts from a young age and gained knowledge in various fields, including those related to gods.

Especially as he got older, he learned more and more, including many secrets.

The taboos of the gods are naturally included in this.

As he now knows and understands—the power of the gods is immense, and if evil spirits were to devour each other, it would inevitably lead to great trouble.

As for the evil gods, no matter which one, they are all avatars of Amaterasu, belonging to the pinnacle of divine power. If Yamata no Orochi were to devour them, it might be able to absorb them, but it is more likely to suffer a backlash.

It will take at least some time to stabilize itself.

“That’s right, he must have devoured at least two evil gods,” Huang stated.

Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "Aren't those evil gods accomplices of Yamata no Orochi?"

“Calling them ‘collaborators’ would be more accurate,” Kyosuke Kosaka said. “We can’t just assume that other evil gods are Orochi’s subordinates.”

"It seems so... So that means those disobedient evil gods were devoured by Yamata no Orochi, and then Yamata no Orochi became weak because it couldn't digest the food?"

Xiaobai quickly figured out the details.

Ara: "That's right, so I contacted Lord Susanoo to hunt down Orochi, and now we are very confident that we can capture him."

Uh……

Kyosuke Kosaka's eyelids twitched as he listened.

Although this development model is very different from the plot he knows, this routine seems strangely familiar.

"Lord Ara, may I go and help?"

After thinking it over, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to give it a shot.

Even if the creator god is the enemy, we have to face him sooner or later, so let's just do it!

"Don't rush, wait for news. Things may not be so easy. We must not forget to wake up Lady Amaterasu first."

"That dancer..."

"She's dealing with some personal matters and will be here in a while."

What is the matter?

Kousaka Kyosuke was a little impressed.

I remember it was because the land's spiritual veins were completely absorbed by the evil god, causing the spiritual energy to dry up and everything to decline.

By the way.

The dancer is called "Peacock King".

Dedicated to fighting against the evil god of lust, according to the original story, this evil god was indeed swallowed by the Yamata no Orochi.

It is probably still developing along a predetermined trajectory.

"So, are we just going to wait here now?" Minamoto no Hiromasa couldn't contain himself any longer.

Waiting was torture for him.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's not just about waiting; we can also use magic to contact others to prepare. You can arrange some deployments in advance."

Huang called them over. They seemed to be doing nothing at the moment, but when they really needed to help, they couldn't be absent, could they?

For now, they are the only ones who can fight.

“That’s true, I was too hasty.” Minamoto no Hiromasa realized that something was wrong and immediately adjusted his mindset, not forgetting to make preparations in advance as Kosaka Kyosuke had suggested.

Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at Seimei and Yaobikuni, who were deep in thought, and immediately began to adjust his own state.

For a moment, the room fell into a relatively quiet atmosphere.

About an hour passed.

Ara suddenly looked at Kousaka Kyosuke and Seimei.

"Lord Susanoo has already chased Orochi to the depths of the Sea of ​​Nothingness. If you join in this time, you should be absolutely certain that you can capture him."

“Okay, I’m ready,” Kousaka Kyosuke said quickly.

Regardless of what the actual plot is, he will still do it without hesitation.

Even if the outcome is already predetermined, it's impossible not to make any effort at all, right?

"Please, Lord Huang, make a move."

Seimei gripped the enhanced talisman and the most important Tenyu Habakiri tightly, and replied softly.

Huang didn't say anything more, and with a wave of his hand, he transferred the two of them to the depths of the Sea of ​​Nothingness.

The others who witnessed all this could only pray that they were safe and sound.
