Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

If that were to be done, the severity of the consequences would be self-evident.

But should we really just treat them as passersby?

This is another question.

"Should we search for Susanoo? But in this era, there is still Tsukuyomi, the evil god who serves as the god of prophecy... If we're too careless, we might be outmaneuvered."

Before transmigrating, Kousaka Kyosuke received many instructions from Ara and Susanoo, knowing that there were certain things he couldn't do or had to be careful about.

Tsukuyomi, one of the evil gods who was temporarily in the Takamagahara camp at this time, was among them.

Based on the analysis, he may already be cooperating with Yamata no Orochi.

"Excuse me, I need to go and find out some information first."

"Lord of the Goddess of Fate, please go ahead with your business. I will stay quietly in my room."

"Later, later I will bring you more detailed information, then you can immediately share the good news with the other members of your clan..."

The God of Fate smiled as before, his tone revealing obvious joy.

Kyosuke Kosaka responded with a smile, but his inner emotions were becoming increasingly complex.

It was evening.

The goddess who brought the food also brought news—Amaterasu will forge divine artifacts as instruments of torture to completely annihilate Yamata no Orochi!

"Lady Amaterasu will be meeting you tomorrow, so be prepared."

Although Enmusubi didn't know much about the Yamata no Orochi, she quickly started talking about what she was currently in charge of.

Originally, the task of receiving envoys from the human realm was to be performed by someone else, but when the evil god attacked, she was accidentally corrupted and is still recovering from her injuries, so the task was handed over to her.

She was just a minor deity, and aside from agreeing to the arrangements of the greater deities, she had no right to object.

Actually, she was quite happy.

The God-King Amaterasu loved humans very much, and even the birth of demons and monsters did not affect her in any way.

The God of Fate favors couples whose love is pure and genuine.

It is people's countless prayers for fate and their boundless trust in her that have made her exist...

She really likes these humans~

"Those great gods are really going too far. Humans are clearly powerless against the power of evil gods, yet they've developed a rejection of humanity because of it. They seemed to like them a lot before, but now..."

The God of Fate doesn't like to talk badly about people behind their backs.

However, Kousaka Kyosuke, as an envoy from the human world, was indeed secretly ostracized by her colleagues and superiors.

In any case, she heard a lot of unpleasant things during this short period of time.

"I understand. It is my honor to meet the God-King, and I will be prepared!"

Kousaka Kyosuke said solemnly.

In his time, Amaterasu was still in a state of unconsciousness, merely existing as a sun silently protecting the world.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of evil gods and the constant erosion of "nothingness," the sun's radiance is almost gone.

And in this era.

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't quite sure how he should handle the situation.

Time flies.

On the second day.

Kyosuke Kousaka also met Amaterasu under the guidance of Enmusubi.

Following behind the Goddess of Fate, Kyosuke Kousaka kept his eyes down and didn't look up.

Making eye contact is the most foolish way to test someone.

If he simply does his duty honestly, there will be no surprises. Kousaka Kyosuke, who doesn't want to be exposed so quickly, intends to assume the identity of an envoy of the Good People until the trial begins.

"Your name is... Kyosuke?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Do not be nervous."

Amaterasu, who had previously sat high on her divine throne, slowly descended, her voice soft and gentle.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who still didn't look up, felt a subtle tension in his heart.

What will this deity see?

What do you plan to do after you figure it out?

"Everyone else, step back."

"Yes!"

The surrounding divine soldiers and generals, and even the Goddess of Fate who brought Kousaka Kyosuke, all quickly left the majestic palace.

Amaterasu spoke to Kousaka Kyosuke only after everyone else had stepped back.

"A person from the future."

"Yes, Lady Amaterasu."

Kyosuke Kousaka looked up at the mature, light-blonde woman in front of him, Amaterasu, who exuded an innate air of nobility.

As expected, he was seen through at a glance; no wonder he is the God King.

457. Amaterasu's help/motherhood/resonance?

"I understand your purpose. However, if possible, you should refrain from taking action rashly."

Amaterasu spoke gently to Kyosuke Kousaka.

After Amaterasu uttered the word "you," Kyosuke Kosaka made no attempt to hide it and immediately summoned Longkui out for some fresh air.

After all, it's not good to keep her cooped up all day, and this is a good opportunity for her to show her honesty.

“Your Majesty, although I should not say more after you have said that, the true god of prophecy from my time still sent us through.”

Kyosuke Kosaka was not going to be dismissed with just a few words.

Or, if you really did that, why would you risk so much to come here?

“Oh…” Amaterasu’s expression was quite subtle when she heard Kousaka Kyosuke mention the true god of prophecy.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't say much, only nodding vaguely and saying, "Yes."

The false god of prophecy, namely Tsukuyomi, is an individual entity composed of sins separated from Amaterasu herself; that is undoubtedly Amaterasu's dark history.

He naturally didn't want to talk about it in front of the person involved.

“The serpent god once asked me where the evil in this world came from, why evil is not forgiven, and why I do not challenge the creator of evil. In the end, he suspected that the source of evil was me.”

Amaterasu suddenly started talking again.

Kyosuke Kousaka was puzzled and speechless. "Is he treating me like someone to confide in? Or what?"

Longkui, who had been summoned to the side, was speechless.

"Kyosuke's luck with women has always seemed... is it still like that now?"

Amaterasu is the supreme ruler of the gods in Japan.

It is the same rank as the Heavenly Emperor.

Having clearly witnessed Susanoo's power, Longkui no longer harbored the initial belief that Japan's small size meant the gods were weak.

But now he's so frank about telling the truth to someone he just met?

"Your Majesty, the so-called 'evil' has never been defined from the beginning. Just as yin and yang coexist, and there is purity and impurity in the world, the Yamata no Orochi is merely looking for an excuse to cause trouble."

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke shared his thoughts.

Amaterasu looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with slight surprise:

“That’s right, there is no definition of evil. When I created the Goddess of Life from the very essence of my heart, all living beings born into the world would also possess what she possessed.”

"Humans, who most resemble the gods, are more intelligent than any other life form, yet they are also better able to uncover the dark side buried in the heart. This is how evil gradually gained a clear definition in the world."

“I once wanted to create pure lives to spare them from the suffering of sin, but such lives would be like castles in the air, forever just an illusion. Therefore, all I can do is to put love in the hearts of people, so that they may be freed from the suffering of sin.”

Kyosuke Kosaka added, "If all living beings in the world were simply black and white, that would be far too unrealistic."

What makes a person human is their ability to have independent thoughts.

If Amaterasu is trying to create something pure and perfect, then surely that's not a robot with a fixed mindset?

If it were a robot, then no evil would really arise.

"I will witness it slowly over time... But since you've come, it makes me realize that my thinking wasn't wrong," Amaterasu said with a smile.

Kosaka Kyosuke is very sure about this:

"That's right. Even though our era was fraught with the risk of utter ruin, there were still people who sacrificed themselves to eradicate evil, move forward, and defend their principles."
