Chapter 162: Natsuba Hanae’s Villainous Form
Natsuba’s classic, cunning image was fully displayed by Natsuba Hanae!
As a woman, she was even more proficient at it than Natsuba Kouryu and Natsuba Taiga.
In fact, before Natsuba Hanae had put on this black giant’s shell, she had already had this plan in mind.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered.
She could have just summoned her two little darlings, Inpi and Kōsei, to gang up on the pseudo-Susanoo.
And an ordinary sword blade certainly couldn’t pierce the pseudo-Susanoo’s right arm, let alone cause any injury.
To seriously injure him, only a divine artifact would do.
And the only divine artifact Natsuba Hanae possessed was the Umbrella Sword.
However, the appearance of a divine artifact was often accompanied by a surge of power and a powerful aura, which would often attract attention and make the opponent wary.
But in the black giant’s body, which was purely composed of energy, the aura of the Umbrella Sword was completely suppressed.
All these actions combined…
Were the reason why the pseudo-Susanoo was now severely injured.
His voice was like a roar as he berated, his eyes wide with anger. The lightning in the sky twisted even more violently.
“You——————!!!!”
“You actually——————!!”
The rough voice made Natsuba Hanae a little annoyed. So, her right hand inside the black giant fiercely rotated three hundred and sixty degrees.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah——————!!”
The pseudo-Susanoo let out a frantic scream.
In an instant, large chunks of flesh and blood fell out and flowed on the ground.
And to Natsuba Hanae, this scream was much more pleasant than the previous roar. A charming yet cruel smile appeared on her lips.
However, Natsuba Hanae could only say that his mind was indeed fragmented.
Otherwise, the cunning methods passed down through the Natsuba lineage, Susanoo, as a god of the Natsuba lineage, would probably be an expert among experts.
But the pseudo-Susanoo before her was almost just a brute who only knew how to be reckless, and had completely lost the use of strategy and intelligence in battle.
Although his direct combat power was stronger than the pseudo-Susanoo in Natsuba Kouryu’s body, the difficulty of dealing with him was much simpler.
And Natsuba Hanae, not one to let an advantage slip, clenched her Umbrella Sword, preparing to cut him horizontally, wanting to slice his right arm in half.
However, although the pseudo-Susanoo’s mind was limited, he was not a fool.
He knew very well that if this continued, he would easily be manipulated by Natsuba Hanae, and he would continuously be injured.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.
Countless surging, shining golden lightning, and golden blood were evaporated drop by drop by the lightning. A powerful arc of lightning erupted from his right arm, its momentum terrifying.
Then, the lightning, regardless of everything, shot along his right arm towards Natsuba Hanae’s black giant.
And spread into the Umbrella Sword.
Natsuba Hanae’s brow furrowed slightly. She withdrew her Umbrella Sword and retreated.
The pseudo-Susanoo’s attack, which burned his divine blood, was clearly a move that would harm himself by a thousand to harm the enemy by eight hundred. She wasn’t that foolish.
To stand there in his face when she knew he was charging up a big move.
Her earlier cunning, ungentlemanly move had already pierced his main body, the right arm, and had accurately hit a vital point, just like stabbing an ordinary person’s heart.
Of course, the pseudo-Susanoo was not an ordinary person. His power level had definitely reached the divine level.
So, his divinity was now being frantically consumed to fill this fatal wound.
After all, this so-called piercing wound was not just a piercing wound. Every one of Natsuba Hanae’s attacks would release Sanctuary Flame and filth and divinity to contaminate him.
The same went for the Umbrella Sword.
All these things would cause great trouble for the pseudo-Susanoo.
And the pseudo-Susanoo’s own vast, sea-like divinity was now rapidly depleting. It probably wouldn’t be long before it was completely consumed.
At that time, Natsuba Hanae could taste the fruits of victory.
A head-on clash was truly the worst strategy.
Of course, Natsuba Hanae knew this. The pseudo-Susanoo, as the god in question, naturally knew his own physical condition even better.
Although his mind was limited, he now knew very well…
The new god before him, although a lowly woman, her power was complex, her divinity vast, and she even had several powers that were slightly restraining to him.
She must not be allowed to grow completely.
If his main body still needed to sleep for about a hundred years, the woman before him might very well grow completely by then, and would cause great damage to his main body.
After all, she was clearly fighting him, and she was so unwilling to let go of his right arm. At that time, she would definitely be an enemy of his main body.
Even if he were severely injured, and his divinity was greatly consumed, he could not easily let her go!!
At the very least, he had to inflict a considerable injury on the new god, to discount her strength and buy time for his main body.
Without too many twists and turns…
The limit of what the pseudo-Susanoo could think of was just this.
For this, he was willing to drain this right arm completely!
“Divine punishment——————!!!”
The pseudo-Susanoo let out a mighty roar to the heavens, and then his entire body began to undergo a dramatic change.
This lightning storm was not directed outwards, but inwards.
He recklessly strengthened this body.
From the inside out, his body suddenly trembled, and then the sound of his heart beating faster and faster echoed, bone-chilling.
“Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump————!”
Like an engine starting up and running at high speed, the roar echoed through the sky.
The golden blood and flesh of his right arm covered the previously constructed lightning heart, and then flowed from the heart to the entire body, like the body of a real god.
The entire body, constructed from the lightning element, at this moment, briefly, seemed to have truly come to life, and transformed into the body of the real Susanoo.
In the pseudo-Susanoo’s originally pure golden eye sockets, pupils suddenly appeared, and a hint of blood was wrapped within them, filled with violence.
At the same time, the muscles on his body were constantly expanding.
Expanding! Expanding! Expanding again————!!
The extreme high temperature brought by the flashing lightning gradually condensed, and the nearby air began to scorch and twist.
His size grew even larger, and one after another, python-like, crimson lightning bolts covered his flesh and writhed, looking incredibly terrifying. A scorching white heat and a throbbing electric arc continuously emanated from his body into the air.
In an instant, an extremely violent and cruel, powerful aura instantly descended on this area.
“Kill… you!”
In the pseudo-Susanoo’s blood-red pupils, a hint of deeply hidden, violent blood flashed for a moment.
Like an erupting volcano! Like a shaking earthquake!
He took a step, and the ground under his feet instantly collapsed, and a deep pit appeared. The ground behind him continuously let out a loud cracking sound, and began to roll violently. Every move he made was a small earthquake.
And the speed brought by this terrifying, instant explosive force was even more astonishing!
The air around the pseudo-Susanoo actually produced a muffled explosion, and with the push of this airflow…
In a single instant, he was in front of Natsuba Hanae.
At this moment, the power of his right fist was charged to the extreme, and it burst with a brilliant, dazzling lightning light.
Natsuba Hanae: “?!”
Natsuba Hanae was slightly taken aback. This almost teleport-like speed, a full-powered blow, even she was caught off guard.
She controlled the black giant and subconsciously wanted to dodge.
However, in the next moment…
Four massive, golden hands extended from the pseudo-Susanoo’s body, and with lightning speed, they came from all directions and fiercely grabbed the black giant’s body.
And made it impossible for the black giant to move an inch.
Then, his right fist struck, and fiercely slammed, straight at the black giant’s chest!
Until now, a triumphant smile had appeared on the pseudo-Susanoo’s face.
But in the next second…
This smile froze.
He saw Natsuba Hanae’s body completely detach from the black giant’s outer shell, as if a mecha pilot had abandoned their mecha, smoothly and in one go.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Her entire body instantly became an afterimage and retreated several dozen meters.
The pseudo-Susanoo’s face was ugly as he wanted to retract this almost full-powered blow, but an attack of this level was not something he could retract at will.
“Boom————————!!”
An unparalleled sound exploded through the clouds, and the weather changed.
A fierce wind blew, sweeping the gravel and dust outwards.
The ground, as if it had been baptized by several missiles, showed a huge crater.
That punch, which could almost shatter mountains, slammed into the black giant’s outer shell that Natsuba Hanae had abandoned.
And the energy aggregate, which was composed of divinity, the Old God’s aura, Sanctuary Flame, etc., was completely shattered and dissipated into specks of light in the air.
Under Natsuba Hanae’s ungentlemanly, various teases, and bullying of him, a peak god who had been limited in his thinking for thousands of years…
An indescribable, huge anger rose in the pseudo-Susanoo’s heart. A violent emotion almost rushed to his brain, drowning all his remaining reason.
The blood in his pupils instantly expanded, filling the entire whites of his eyes. His entire eye sockets turned red.
An indescribable, overwhelming fighting spirit and violent aura, like a pillar of blood, shot up into the sky. His lightning power was suppressed, and was replaced by a new, unpredictable power.
However, in the next moment…
This power seemed to have noticed something, noticed that this was not the real Susanoo.
The unpredictable power slowly dissipated, leaving only a little on his right arm. In the dense golden lightning markings, a blood-red, fragmented sword marking appeared.
Under the buff of this fragmented power, the pseudo-Susanoo, who had previously lost all his lightning power, seemed to have a new strength.
He leaped from the crater.
And leaped into mid-air, and surged towards Natsuba Hanae!
However, Natsuba Hanae saw the pseudo-Susanoo, who was less than twenty meters away from her, not moving at all.
She crossed her arms, a look of interest in her crimson vertical pupils, and a faint smile on her lips.
And she murmured softly,
“The time has come.”
As soon as she finished speaking…
Swish——————!
A sound of something cutting through the air was heard.
From under the layered ground, a white chain shot up, and instantly wrapped around the pseudo-Susanoo’s foot. Then it fiercely pulled downwards.
“Boom—!”
The pseudo-Susanoo fell from mid-air and slammed into the ground.
But his will, under the buff of the blood-red, savage aura, was still unyielding. He climbed up, and then with a sudden acceleration, he continued to charge straight at Natsuba Hanae.
The distance was shortened to seventeen meters! Fifteen meters! Twelve meters!!!
However, next…
Countless white chains continuously drilled out from the ground, and densely wrapped around the pseudo-Susanoo’s entire lower body.
In the sky, at some point, a snow of goose feathers had begun to fall.
No, it wasn’t a snow of goose feathers, but a pure white bird feather.
Until now, this outside world had completely transformed into the shape of Natsuba Hanae’s Otherside, and many of her controls could be used perfectly.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah——————!!”
The pseudo-Susanoo let out an unconscious roar, and a wave of bloodlust emanated from his body, spreading outwards.
He used pure physical strength to pull the white chains and continue to advance.
And so, the white bird feathers in the sky began to be mixed with black feathers.
Black chains rippled, and extended from the void, and wrapped around the pseudo-Susanoo’s abdomen.
At this moment, the pseudo-Susanoo’s speed was reduced to a crawl.
Like an ordinary person taking a walk, his steps were heavy. Each time he advanced, his footprints would sink deep into the ground.
One step after another!
Ten meters! Nine meters! Eight meters!
Five meters! Four meters! Three meters!!!!
On his right fist, the blood-red, fragmented sword marking began to flicker with a mottled, blood-red light, and was accumulating power.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae’s brow furrowed slightly, and her crimson vertical pupils swirled.
Swish——————!!!
A bright red chain descended from the sky and fiercely pierced through the pseudo-Susnoo’s chest, hitting the surgingly beating heart.
Instantly, the pseudo-Susanoo’s blood-red eyes dimmed and lost all their luster.
But his right arm, which was his main body, controlled his right fist, and like an old man moving his muscles and bones, he swung his fist at Natsuba Hanae with extreme slowness.
Two meters… one meter…
His right fist hovered an inch from Natsuba Hanae’s head and stopped, unable to advance an inch. He had exhausted all his strength and was on the verge of death.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips and said softly,
“Honestly, why do I feel like I’m a villain facing a hot-blooded protagonist?”
“I’m a merciful and gentle Second Miss.”
She strolled leisurely to the pseudo-Susanoo, and her crimson divinity manifested, and an exquisite and beautiful Umbrella Sword condensed.
Natsuba Hanae didn’t hesitate for a moment and swung it straight down.
In the next moment, the pseudo-Susanoo’s head and right arm were cut in two.
A dense Sanctuary Flame in her palm was thrown at him.
And helped the pseudo-Susanoo’s corpse burn to ashes, to avoid polluting the air and wasting the land.
See, how gentle she was.
