Chapter 285: The World Rejected My Advancement!
Vwooooom————————————!
An invisible ripple, with the brilliant lightning sun in the center of the giant tree, spread outwards.
Although it was invisible…
But when it passed over a distant bird, an arc of electricity appeared on the bird’s body, and it instantly died. And the arc of electricity, absorbing its essence, with a breath of lightning, like a stream of light, returned to the shining sun.
The strange creatures outside the city, under the influence of this invisible ripple, were also turned to ashes, and also returned to the shining sun.
And on the edge of the city, at this moment, Natsuba Rinrei and the others were watching the battle here.
When the ripple passed over them…
Xiao Bai, who possessed divinity, clearly felt this.
A powerful curse divinity quickly erupted, and with the newly obtained divine artifact, the Kusanagi no Tsurugi…
Although it was just obtained, from another level, Xiao Bai was Yamata no Orochi Itself. It was just that the two of them walked different paths. In fact, even the curse divinity was no different.
For the use of the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, it was not at all clumsy, but was exceptionally smooth.
When the invisible ripple had spread to the edge of the city, it was already not strong. If Xiao Bai had been attacked in the center, she would probably have been unable to defend against it.
But now it was the edge of the city, and having consumed a part of her divinity, Xiao Bai had completely protected everyone.
At the same time, her emerald-like, beautiful snake pupils looked at Natsuba Hanae in the distance. A hint of worry appeared on her face, and Xiao Bai said softly,
“Mom, you must be careful.”
Originally, Xiao Bai had thought that she was about to break through to a mid-level god.
And in the battle with Yamata no Orochi, she had helped her mother a lot, and she was quite pleased with herself.
After all, Xiao Bai was just a child who had been born for less than a month!
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai couldn’t help but look down at her own snake body, which was nearly a hundred meters long.
Although…
She, as a child, did grow up a little fast.
But even with her current rank, in a battle with her mother and Susanoo, Xiao Bai could only help a little.
Xiao Bai’s smug heart was beaten to a pulp.
Her mother’s enemies were already at the peak, while Xiao Bai was still a low-level god.
This made her, at this age, not be able to sleep well at night.
And even Xiao Bai, who was the highest rank among Natsuba Hanae’s daughters, thought this, let alone the other daughters.
A look of emptiness appeared in Kamishiro Hime’s eyes.
In Kamishiro Hime’s pure white beautiful eyes, there was a slowly swirling cyan color. The divinity she had mastered had also been sublimated in the previous battle.
Even her rank, under the drive of her divinity, had also soared.
In a short while, Kamishiro Hime would probably also be able to see the scenery of the divine realm.
In fact, even if Xiao Bai hadn’t stopped the invisible ripple of Susanoo’s shining sun, Kamishiro Hime could have used all her divinity to resist this level of ripple.
Kamishiro Hime’s gaze was deep, and then it turned into an extremely firm look.
“Next time, I must advance to the divine realm.”
“To help my mother.”
Then, Kamishiro Hime looked at Natsuba Rinrei, who was sitting quietly in place, her eyes closed.
On Natsuba Rinrei’s body, an invisible power was surging. The phantom of a red dragon and a heron appeared behind her, and they intertwined, and her aura soared.
And Natsuba Rinrei had already reached the peak of A-rank.
It had to be said that Natsuba Rinrei’s combat talent and her own ability’s talent were simply unparalleled.
Not to mention, after adding the template of Aosagi no Hi, her talent was already at the level of a terrifying monster.
Unfortunately…
On the path of mastering divinity, Natsuba Rinrei was completely clueless.
Natsuba Rinrei opened her eyes, and because her power had not yet completely dissipated, her two eyes were still in her ruby-like dragon pupils, and they shone with a crystal clear luster.
However, there was not a trace of the Red Dragon’s violence, only a look of guilt.
And Natsuba Rinrei murmured softly,
“Hanae…”
“This time, I still couldn’t help you. I still couldn’t fight alongside you.”
“If I had mastered divinity, if I could advance to the divine realm, perhaps I could have helped you.”
Natsuba Rinrei’s previous imitation of Natsuba Hanae’s moves, to condense the flame into the shape of a lotus, its power was very terrifying.
Once Natsuba Rinrei advanced to the divine realm…
And fused the Aosagi no Hi and the Red Dragon fire together, the fire lotus that was transformed…
To be able to injure a peak god was also a very likely thing.
And beside Natsuba Rinrei, Chikari Makoto, although in this battle, her rank had also risen to a high A-rank…
But due to some strange reason, Chikari Makoto had mastered a divine artifact in advance.
The divinity of the divine artifact had given her a backlash.
Her mastery of divinity had also soared, and was second only to Kamishiro Hime’s.
However, now her thoughts were not as dejected as the other sisters.
Because in this battle, there was a high probability that Chikari Makoto could help.
Chikari Makoto’s gleaming golden beautiful eyes were filled with a brilliant halo, and even the three feathers on her forehead were so dazzling and refracted.
Her gaze was fixed on the distant lightning giant tree.
And Chikari Makoto kept muttering,
“When will Mom need my help? When will Mom need my help?”
“Watch me shoot that Susanoo-whatever-his-name with my Three Feathers.”
Beside Chikari Makoto, Hoshikawa Oto heard her words, and she pursed her pink lips slightly. Her ethereal, clear voice slowly said,
“It’s Susanoo.”
“I once used some means to read the records in a conglomerate and learned some information about him.”
“He’s a peak god from a thousand years ago, and Yamata no Orochi, who was also a peak god, was also killed by him. I didn’t expect…”
“My mother has already reached this level of strength without me realizing it.”
“I have to continue to work hard.”
Compared to the other sisters, Hoshikawa Oto’s strength improvement ranked in the middle.
Due to her mastery of soul spiritual power, her perception of divinity was also quite keen. She already had some feeling now.
And her strength had also reached the position of mid-A-rank.
As for Kujō Mien, the time she had fought Kyōkotsu Shishi was the longest. And although her previous talent was not good, her accumulation was quite solid.
Her rank had also reached high A-rank, and she had also had a hint of an enlightenment about divinity.
And Kuchiki Mei, as the youngest among all the sisters, except for Xiao Bai, this abnormal individual, at this moment had also reached A-rank.
Even Tamamo-no-Mae was affected by the aura of relentless overachievement that had erupted among her sisters.
And Tamamo-no-Mae had also begun to work hard.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae had also advanced to A-rank.
In fact, for the mastery of divinity, she was close to Kamishiro Hime.
Due to her “Fox Miko” ability, she had, a long time ago, communicated with Natsuba Hanae in a spiritual soul state, and had thus come into contact with the existence of divinity.
For divinity itself, Tamamo-no-Mae had an extraordinary keenness, and could be said to be blessed by nature.
In fact, as long as Tamamo-no-Mae lay down, her mastery of divinity would slowly rise on its own…
This was a divine talent that Natsuba Rinrei couldn’t envy.
However, what was lost was gained. Tamamo-no-Mae’s current rank was on par with the youngest Kuchiki Mei.
And after reaching A-rank, Tamamo-no-Mae found that the cultivation of her fox tails was also beginning to not be as good as her own. In the end, she still had to rely on her own efforts.
If Natsuba Hanae had known her daughters’ so hardworking thoughts, she would probably also have been comforted.
And Natsuba Hanae would also have used some methods to let her daughters’ ranks accelerate.
After all, her opponents would only get stronger and stronger.
Natsuba Hanae’s strength had reached a peak god, and the promotion path ahead was somewhat unknown.
Normally, Susanoo, when he was a peak god, could see the so-called promotion path. Now, Natsuba Hanae’s strength was about the same as his, and even a step higher. There was no reason why she couldn’t see it.
In fact, even Yamata no Orochi could vaguely sense a level above a god.
Then there was only one truth.
It was highly likely that a god born from the mother tree, because its nature was related to Amaterasu, this existence above a god, so it could sense a level above a god.
And Natsuba Hanae could only find a way.
Not only that, but in a situation where Natsuba Hanae could not go any further, perhaps improving her daughters’ strength and letting them reach the divine realm as much as possible…
Once a unique divinity appeared, similar to a curse power, perhaps it could play a role in future battles, to increase her chances of winning.
As for…
Using the “Summer Harvest” ability and gathering a hundred daughters…
With Natsuba Hanae’s current strength, if she were to subdue existences below A-rank, it would be of no great significance. Moreover, if not for a twist of fate, it would be quite difficult to capture the loyalty of a new daughter in a short time.
And if their loyalty was low, it would be of no great use for Natsuba Hanae to subdue them.
Instead of increasing those miscellaneous but weak abilities, it was better to specialize in her own essential ability.
For gathering a hundred daughters…
Natsuba Hanae already had a thought in her mind.
However, the time was not yet ripe. At that time, it could be used as a surprise trump card.
To deal with Susanoo, this trump card was not needed.
Not only that, but although Susanoo was now about to greatly increase his strength, and was clearly doing something related to advancing to a higher level…
However…
The preparation was quite long. If not for Natsuba Hanae wanting to glimpse some information about advancing to a level above a god, she would have already interrupted Susanoo.
Of course, this was just Natsuba Hanae’s thought. Perhaps Susanoo had a backup plan.
And in Natsuba Hanae’s observation…
All Susanoo’s actions were clearly imitating the so-called Amaterasu.
For this, Susanoo had even spent a large amount of his divinity to stabilize and maintain the great sun diagram. If he hadn’t maintained the stability and the great sun diagram, with Susanoo’s divinity, Natsuba Hanae would probably have had to spend a lot of time.
Not only that, but the more divinity Susanoo had, the more he could use his divinity to launch stronger moves.
However, what was lost was gained.
Susanoo’s consumption and maintenance of this part of his divinity was clearly related to his promotion.
An outsider would not know, but Natsuba Hanae knew it very well.
Lightning had very little to do with shining sun.
And now Susanoo had forcibly condensed a great sun diagram, and in the middle of the lightning tree, he was also gathering power to gather a shining sun.
Clearly…
Susanoo’s path to promotion was clearly to imitate Amaterasu, and thus to advance.
What was ridiculous was…
Susanoo had always said that he wanted to maintain the purity of his lightning. But to use his lightning authority to imitate Amaterasu’s ability, was this method really pure?
In Natsuba Hanae’s view, Susanoo’s path to promotion had already deviated.
Even if Susanoo succeeded in advancing, he could by no means reach Amaterasu’s height. At most, he could only become a pirated lightning Amaterasu.
Of course, the experience of Susanoo’s promotion could be referred to.
In Natsuba Hanae’s red, glass-like beautiful eyes, a thousand thoughts of a swirling black and white light appeared.
And Natsuba Hanae was confident…
Even if Susanoo did indeed advance to a higher level, with his current physical state and divinity content, with all the power of her Nine-Headed Bird, Natsuba Hanae could also kill him.
After all, just like when Natsuba Hanae had just advanced to a peak god, and the high-level god Yamata no Orochi had still had a chance to defeat her…
If not for Amaterasu’s divinity’s purification, that battle would not have ended so easily.
Then now…
Let Natsuba Hanae see how Susanoo advanced.
In Natsuba Hanae’s eyes was reflected Susanoo, who was bathed in lightning light. He had no divine power flowing out, but was suspended in mid-air by the electromagnetic field of the lightning tree.
A powerful and magnificent lightning power coiled and intertwined around Susanoo’s body.
And Susanoo stood quietly in front of the canopy, in the center of the lightning shining sun.
Susanoo’s voice was like a thunderclap echoing through the sky.
“I will ascend to the highest, and reside high in the heavens!”
With that, a thunderclap.
A thunderbolt of a thousand jūn (ancient weight unit – 30,000 pounds), frantically surged into Susanoo’s body.
The great sun diagram between Susanoo’s brows and the shining sun behind him shone in harmony, powerful and magnificent.
The lightning in the shining sun, like sunlight, rushed into Susanoo’s body, his bones, his skin, his blood…
Everything about Susanoo…
Was replaced by a lightning light like light.
Although it was a smooth progression, the lightning light like sunlight was filled with a hint of an incongruity.
But it was undeniable…
With the influx of the shining sun, Susanoo’s aura was soaring, and a vast and powerful divine might swept through the heavens, and the dark clouds were filled with a brilliant golden lightning.
With each flash of lightning, it gave a feeling of destruction, and its destructive power was immense.
Susanoo could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the level he had been dreaming of. Susanoo couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“Hahahahahaha————!!!”
“This is a true god.”
“To cast aside all flesh and blood, lightning is me, and I am lightning!”
“I will—”
However, just as Susanoo was about to make an arrogant claim…
Susanoo’s words were cut short. His body was completely transformed into lightning. When only Susanoo’s mind remained, he stood motionless.
And without waiting for Susanoo to react completely…
The lightning shining sun behind Susanoo suddenly disintegrated, and transformed into countless star dust and dissipated into the air.
And Susanoo’s lightning-transformed body immediately began to return to its original form.
Not only that, but because of the backlash, Susanoo spat out a mouthful of blood that had almost become a lightning plasma. His body also began to crack, and in an instant, his aura was like a thread, and he was gasping for breath, and he was seriously injured.
Susanoo was on the verge of splitting, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Why————!!”
“The world has rejected my advancement?!!!”
