Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1614

Not to mention Amaterasu and Ara were also nearby, so there was practically no chance of resistance.

"Lord Ara, may we ask what's in the sky..."

Minamoto no Hiromasa took the opportunity to inquire about the inky black hole in the sky, which was even more bizarre than the Six Paths Gate that had appeared before.

Besides, he had previously seen an eye that sent chills down his spine.

If what was said before is true, this should be the "primordial supreme god" behind Yamata no Orochi.

Although he knew he was no match for them, that didn't mean Minamoto no Hiromasa didn't want to know the specifics.

"Izanami."

Amaterasu suddenly appeared to be explaining things to Minamoto no Hiromasa on behalf of Ara.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she gently raised her head and looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something.

Soon, eyes reappeared in the black hole in the sky, and a soft, murmuring voice rang out.

"Having lived in the Sea of ​​Nothingness for millions of years, I have destroyed countless worlds. Only today have I seen clearly what a magnificent sight the world about to be destroyed truly is. No wonder even the Yamata no Orochi lingers there."

"Today I rejoice so much that I will bestow upon you the gifts of God. Soon I will descend upon this world and witness its death. I will bestow upon this world the glory of being destroyed by my own hands."

The glory of the demons!

Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but think to himself, "On the surface, he's being very obedient and doesn't dare to move at all."

When Izanami's consciousness manifested at this moment, he could feel that his existence could be locked onto by her at any time.

Of course, this isn't Izanami targeting him, but rather everyone in the world!

He was only being remembered because he was one of them.

Perhaps, as Izanami said, she was prepared to destroy every single one of them here, leaving none behind!

"Now there's no way to escape."

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, without any negative emotions whatsoever.

In the end, he never intended to escape; he was just thinking about how to ensure the safety of those around him.

But he never expected that Izanami would make the final decision for him.

Now I can live and die together with the people around me. It seems that I won't have any regrets whether I win or lose.

"Praise me, love me, for my mercy is about to descend, and I will grant you eternal rest with my fingertips."

enough.

Seeing Izanami talking incessantly and even praising herself, Kousaka Kyosuke could only think that this goddess had an excessive sense of self.

They don't consider what others think at all.

Given that this god was the strongest one, Kousaka Kyosuke could only complain in his heart.

Well, he's still not in a good mood.

If possible, he still hopes that everyone he cares about will survive.

The world is now essentially locked down.

Although Izanami did not fully descend, her consciousness had already settled in this world, so even if Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to send someone to hide in the Central Plains, there was no hope.

Because it will almost certainly be discovered and stopped, and most likely it will be completely eliminated.

"As expected, having no way out is still unpleasant... I can only say that I'm not strong enough."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

However, if he possessed the strength of Izanami, how difficult would it be for him to crush the Heavenly Emperor of the God Clan with a mere wave of his hand?

Ultimately, he is a God of Destruction corresponding to the "Creation" level, and this one is definitely at the top level.

Kyosuke Kosaka never imagined he could achieve that.

According to his understanding, these beings are almost all innate deities, whose unique advantages are beyond description.

While Kousaka Kyosuke was thinking about other things, Amaterasu gave a formal response to Izanami's announcement.

"All things have form, and there is a time of destruction; all things live, and there is a day of death. Destruction and death are not evil, but part of life. You who dwell in the sea of ​​nothingness are also the creator god."

“But today, my people are in calamity because of you, are in great pain because of you, and are praying for my awakening because of you. And I have answered their prayers and come before you.”

"Goddess of Destruction, today I, the God-King Amaterasu, hereby declare! If you are born into this world and become a sinner the moment you step into the human realm, an enemy of all living beings and a disgrace to the gods, then I will surely judge you!"

The resounding response conveyed a strong sense of determination.

Even Kousaka Kyosuke, who was lost in thought, couldn't help but glance at him.

Such a tough stance is truly befitting of a god-king.

Indeed, without strong measures, the gods of Takamagahara would be difficult to manage.

Emperor Ichijō's "rule by doing nothing" management style was only the way he could do it. When he first took control of the government and wanted to collect manor taxes, who would listen to him?

Ha ha……

A meaningful laugh echoed through the world.

The goddess of destruction, Izanami, did not respond to Amaterasu's words, perhaps out of disdain, or perhaps because she did not want to answer; no one knows for sure.

However, the laughter gradually subsided and eventually disappeared.

The world has become silent, I don't know when it started.

Kyosuke Kosaka understood that the great battle had entered its final stage.

When Izanami arrives, everything will be completely confirmed.

And it's not far off, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after...

Day 517 of crossing

Destruction is already threatening to engulf the world.

The barrier around Kyoto has suffered many damages. The God Queen Amaterasu, who has returned to her rightful place, has dispatched divine armies to guard the area and eliminate the invading evil spirits and demons. Meanwhile, the Onmyoji are constantly repairing the damaged barrier.

Fortunately, the Oni soldiers that Minamoto no Yorimitsu had previously created had the ability to stabilize and strengthen the barrier, which made the barrier repair process faster.

However, the continuous destructive power overflowing from the "black hole" in the sky meant that Kyoto's barrier was always in a state of constant patching and repair, which was worrying.

After returning to Kyoto and briefly inspecting his work, Kyosuke Kousaka went back to his residence and immediately took his partners and even their families into the Little World.

With his own little world at his fingertips, Kyosuke Kousaka was naturally able to arrange things with ease.

As expected, when Kyosuke Kousaka sought help from Amaterasu yesterday regarding the issue of sunlight, he received generous support, as Amaterasu gave him a "little sun" forged by divine power.

He even specifically told Kyosuke Kousaka how to create this artificial sun.

Since Kyosuke Kousaka possesses a portion of Amaterasu's luminous power, he is also capable of creating it, though it consumes a great deal of his own energy.

"...It feels like going back to the old days."

Sagiri, who had been sitting on the veranda gazing at the scenery for a long time, finally couldn't help but say that the easel and brushes placed to the side hadn't been touched at all.

Because she probably wasn't in the mood to paint.

At this moment, the beautiful scenery before her was even more beautiful than the various figures she usually drew. Although thinking this way was a denial of everything she had done before, one could not lie about what she was really thinking!

"Don't worry!" The girl, Lianhua, dressed in a black kimono and as delicate as a doll, said with a determined look, "The outside world will soon return to this state."

"Outside……"

Sagiri's gaze began to wander. She hadn't gone out for days because she disliked the dark and gloomy atmosphere.

Staying indoors is too boring.

Staying under the lights for a long time makes her feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the other women around her are there to comfort her gently.

Now that I'm finally back to a life with clear skies and warm sunshine, why would I still want to go back... Well, not entirely. I still miss the house I lived in with everyone.

"I understand, after all, that kind of environment is too unfriendly to girls."

Menreiki, who remained quiet and didn't say a word, didn't seem to care.

She used to live like this in a dark room, and it went on for who knows how many years.

She didn't leave the house until Kyosuke Kosaka came over.

Now that I think about it carefully, what would I be doing now if I hadn't gone out with Kyosuke Kosaka?

"Perhaps he was just staring blankly at the sky..."

The spirit within him asked and answered his own questions.

No matter how terrifying the outside world may be, she knows very well that danger has not yet arrived, and even if it does, she probably won't care.

Since we can't fight off a powerful enemy, what else can we do?

Whether the outcome is positive or negative, the result should remain the same.

Same now.

Menreiki couldn't help but turn her gaze to Kousaka Kyosuke, who was sitting quietly in the spacious hall, cultivating.

Kyosuke Kosaka had previously said that he hadn't seen many of them but had to train hard for the upcoming battles, so he came up with a "win-win" solution—training in the main hall so that anyone who wanted to see him could do so.

When Menreiki heard this, she was momentarily speechless with a subtle emotion.
