461. Fighting the Great Serpent / Collapse / Hope in Time and Space

"The power of Amaterasu."

Orochi made no move, allowing the summoned white giant serpent, the Great Serpent God, to withstand Kousaka Kyosuke's attack.

The Great Serpent God is a manifestation of his divine power, embodying the sins of humanity, and is one of his favorite methods.

It would be quite interesting to imagine that creatures created from the negative products of humanity, which are the source of Amaterasu's favorite deity, could continue to cause destruction and even become the main force in destroying the world.

In the blink of an eye, after thinking all this through...

Kyosuke Kousaka's strike, imbued with the power of the sun bestowed upon him by the God-King Amaterasu and combined with his own strength, landed on the Great Serpent God who had blocked the attack for the Yamata no Orochi.

The attack shattered space and created countless spatial rifts as it struck the Great Serpent God.

The putrid blood splattered with astonishing force!

The putrid, nauseating blood was endless, and the surroundings were transformed into a world of blood in a short time.

Having prepared in advance, Kyosuke Kousaka had already performed a forbidden technique to burn his life essence before attacking, thus avoiding the risk of being corroded or contaminated by the snake's blood.

However, Susanoo is not like that!

Susanoo, who attacked just like Kousaka Kyosuke, was fearless. He wielded a lightning spear in each hand and swept away the body of the great serpent god blocking his way with ferocity, leaving it covered in snake blood and flesh.

This looks more like a fierce god from hell.

When Kyosuke Kousaka, who had temporarily discovered that he couldn't attack Orochi, noticed this situation, he was almost stunned.

"That's incredibly reckless..."

At least I should pay a little more attention to my own situation so that I can act better.

Perhaps Kyosuke Kousaka is just too afraid of losing his life.

That's his current opinion, and he admires Susanoo more and more.

"Not bad, not bad, it has inherited a lot of Amaterasu's power, but it is still far from enough."

Orochi, with a smile, focused his gaze on Kyosuke Kousaka.

Upon discovering that Orochi was already healing his wounds, Kyosuke Kousaka continued his relentless attacks while also responding to Orochi.

"That's enough, I will definitely kill you!"

"Hehe, your killing intent is astonishing. Just how many people have you killed? I'm quite curious about your past."

"If you die, I wouldn't mind telling you this in front of your corpse."

Kyosuke Kosaka has a sharp tongue.

In his mind, he was pondering whether he should desperately attack Orochi right now.

Or perhaps they are waiting for Susanoo and Seimei to create an opportunity.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If Kagura, who cooperated well with him, had come, he might have been able to try to seal the Yamata no Orochi for a while.

For now, we can only maintain this high-consumption state for the time being.

Ultimately, his understanding with Susanoo and Seimei is not enough, so he is currently taking on a conservative protective role.

Even while attacking Orochi, he was still able to provide immediate support when the other two were in danger.

Correspondingly, they still retained some of their strength; otherwise, in the fleeting battlefield, Susanoo and Seimei might have been eliminated.

"Naive execution god, without the power of divinity, you're still a bit lacking when it comes to dealing with me. I don't mind if you go and take it back now; I'm willing to wait."

Orochi, seemingly having lost interest in Kyosuke Kousaka, turned his attention to Susanoo.

Susanoo, whose blood energy surges, appears fierce on the surface, yet his speech seems devoid of much negative emotion.

"Yamata no Orochi, I will definitely save the world from your hands!"

"Really? Just how many worlds did I destroy along the way?"

"Do you know how much this will change the world, how many people's destinies, how many lives will be reduced to nothingness, and how many civilizations will vanish into thin air?"

"All living things are destined to die, which is why evolution occurs. And civilization is, by its very nature, a hymn of rebirth and transformation from ruins."

"What the world wants is not praise, but a future where life continues and reincarnation never ends!"

The Yamata no Orochi and the ever-breaking Susanoo were arguing.

Kyosuke Kosaka silently maintained his attack rhythm, currently preparing for his strongest strike.

"Although I know it's impossible to kill Yamata no Orochi, if we can cause trouble for others like his snake blood and miasma, we might still be able to gain some advantage on the battlefield at this time."

He's come to terms with it.

Whether we can kill Orochi or not, what we need to do now is keep causing him trouble.

However, it's not so easy to cause trouble for Orochi.

Coincidentally, Kyosuke Kousaka had just obtained a power that would inevitably cause some trouble for Orochi.

—The power of Amaterasu, the power of Susanoo.

Kyosuke Kousaka attempted to fuse these two powers in a frenzied and brutal manner, ultimately pouring them into the body of Yamata no Orochi at the most crucial moment.

It might not have any miraculous effect, but Kyosuke Kousaka had no other way to counter it.

We have no choice but to give it a try.

As for Seimei, who seems to have disappeared, and Tsukuyomi, who has not taken any further action?

Kyosuke Kosaka probably guessed what was going on.

"Although the power of Tsukuyomi within Ame no Habakiri can be used at any time, activation requires a great deal of power. Seimei probably only has one chance left at this point..."

Regardless, Kyosuke Kousaka decided to give Orochi a good thrashing.

Finally, after Susanoo said to Orochi, "I have nothing to talk to you about," Kyosuke Kousaka unleashed his long-awaited killing move.

The power combining the peaceful fire of Amaterasu and the violent lightning of Susanoo was concentrated in Kyosuke Kousaka's left hand.

After sacrificing all his defenses, Kyosuke Kousaka directly cut the incredibly tough and constantly regenerating Orochi in two, and charged right up to Orochi.

"Ah."

As if it had been preparing all along, Orochi raised one hand and gripped the blade of the demonic sword with its five fingers.

Judging from their posture, it seemed as if they were about to crush the demonic sword.

Having already guessed that Orochi would do this, Kyosuke Kousaka suddenly released the demon sword, his right fist lashing out like thunder, while a startling bolt of lightning flashed!

"Yama no Orochi!"

The instant the lightning appeared, Susanoo suddenly teleported to the front of Yamata no Orochi using the lightning.

Unexpectedly, Kousaka Kyosuke reacted very quickly to Susanoo's ability to appear through his own means, immediately summoning the demon sword back into his hand and assuming a stance to protect Susanoo's rear.

After all, the great serpent god, which embodies the sins of the world, is very large, and it seems that the attack that Kousaka Kyosuke just made on it has been restored.

In reality, Kyosuke Kousaka had no intention of protecting Susanoo.

The power that Susanoo had been hiding in his left hand finally erupted the moment he was about to engage Orochi in battle!

Kousaka Kyosuke moved to the side of Yamata no Orochi, which was Susanoo's side, at the fastest speed he could, and directly attacked Yamata no Orochi with a heart-ripping claw-like attack.

Oh?

Upon realizing his misjudgment, Orochi didn't have time for a smile. A hint of interest flashed in his leisurely eyes as he unhesitatingly ordered Orochi to attack Kousaka Kyosuke and Susanoo.

Even though Yamata no Orochi was very interested in both the human and the god before him, if they stood in his way, they would only die.

sizzle~

Kakakka~~

The howling wind, the tearing sound of the wind... and the constant rumble of thunder!

Kyosuke Kousaka's claw strike and Susanoo's lightning spear struck Orochi at the same time. Orochi did not refrain from fighting back, but instead unleashed a powerful divine shield in his mind to resist and weaken the two attacks.

Just as he was about to withstand the first attack, he suddenly realized that the Great Serpent God's attack had missed.

interesting……

The Yamata no Orochi quickly regained its senses and felt the scorching sun's fire and violent lightning power flowing into its body at an incredible speed. It immediately activated all the power of its divine status and transferred it to one side.

"What a wonderful surprise! The power of Amaterasu, the power of Susanoo... Do you still want my power?"

The Yamata no Orochi, which had moved to a far side, smiled as it looked at Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka twitched the corner of his mouth: "No, it's disgusting."

When he first learned that this was the world of "Onmyoji", his goal was the divine power of Yamata no Orochi, and even the power of other gods of Takamagahara.

Now, he doesn't need any of that anymore.

He has his own path.

Now, neither Susanoo's lightning nor Amaterasu's sun fire has the same appeal as before.

Because the price to pay for all of this is not good for Kyosuke Kousaka.

“Seimei, you are very good too,” Orochi smiled as he looked at Seimei, who had appeared next to Kousaka Kyosuke. “I had almost forgotten about you, but I didn’t expect you to give me a satisfactory answer at this last moment.”

Compared to Kyosuke Kousaka, who is not even sure if he can be considered human, Seimei, a pure human, is more like an Onmyoji of the Takamagahara people. Orochi is even more interested in Seimei than Kyosuke Kousaka.
