Chapter 220: Boiling the Sea!
With the gaze of the crimson vertical pupil on him…
Kamishiro Naraku only felt a chill run up his spine and into his brain. His entire body trembled.
His originally inflated mentality, from reaching the high-level god realm, was instantly deflated like a leaking balloon, and his heart was filled with apprehension.
“This… this is?!”
“The Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s divinity?!”
“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!!”
“I’m a high-level god now! You’re just a mid-level god! How can you use divinity to invade my body?! This is completely against common sense!”
Kamishiro Naraku roared hysterically, his pure black eyes filled with disbelief.
This was too much.
In the knowledge Ebisu had given him, besides the method of manipulating divinity, there was also a partial division of the ranks of the gods.
If it were a completely normal high-level god, probably even three or four mid-level gods couldn’t cause any damage to him. Unless those three or four mid-level gods all possessed divine artifacts, only then could they pose some threat to a high-level god.
This level of strength difference was even more absurd than a C-rank control-type supernatural user controlling an A-rank supernatural user.
Kamishiro Naraku simply couldn’t believe it.
But it had happened right before his eyes. The crimson vertical pupil was staring at him with such a playful expression.
And that entire left arm had turned a pure crimson. He couldn’t control it at all.
Just then, a gentle and soft voice, but in Kamishiro Naraku’s ears, it was like a poppy, filled with a fatal deadliness.
“Are you confused?”
“Are you afraid?”
Crack————!
As Natsuba Hanae spoke, her crimson left palm fiercely squeezed Kamishiro Naraku’s right wrist, and a bone-crushing sound was heard. Thick black blood dripped down.
And at that moment, Natsuba Hanae slowly turned around.
A beautiful and exquisite smile appeared on her lips, like an elegant Yamato Nadeshiko.
Her red, glass-like beautiful eyes had at some point also transformed into crimson vertical pupils, filled with an indifference and serenity.
In Kamishiro Naraku’s eyes, this smile was no different from a demon’s sinister grin.
Not to mention being stared at by three crimson vertical pupils.
Kamishiro Naraku was terrified.
And Natsuba Hanae continued,
“Don’t be confused. My divinity, from the very beginning, was in your body when you were first parasitizing Kujō Sujin.”
“Speaking of which, you should thank me.”
“When you were desperately using your divinity to seize control of the divine artifact Calamity and Fortune, didn’t you feel you had too much divinity? That was what I gave you.”
Natsuba Hanae clenched her right fist, and a Sanctuary Flame burned fiercely. She faced Kamishiro Naraku’s face and fiercely slammed it towards him.
Kamishiro Naraku was shocked by Natsuba Hanae’s words, and by the amount of information.
But he immediately came back to his senses, and his head prepared to dodge to the left.
However, in an instant, a crimson tentacle extended from his left arm and held his head.
In the next moment, Natsuba Hanae’s fist accurately hit his face.
“Boom——————!”
Like a vertically flying meteor, Kamishiro Naraku was sent flying by a single punch.
He mobilized his divinity and forcibly stopped his body after being sent flying for forty meters. However, in the next moment…
Natsuba Hanae’s voice sounded behind him.
“No need to be afraid. Let me give you a complete release.”
Kamishiro Naraku, who had reacted, instantly threw a punch at his back. However, just as he was clenching his fist, he found that his right fist had been stopped by his left arm again.
At the same time, Natsuba Hanae’s same attack came again.
“Boom——————!”
During the attack, Kamishiro Naraku was now a high-level god. So Natsuba Hanae’s attack was not very effective.
But the unique nature of the Sanctuary Flame…
And the fact that Kamishiro Naraku’s body was being slowly conquered by her own divinity…
With each blow, the Sanctuary Flame would scorch a little of Kamishiro Naraku’s skin, creating a wound, and letting the crimson divinity hidden in the Sanctuary Flame enter his body.
And it would provide support for the crimson divinity in his body, and increase the speed of erosion.
Now, on Kamishiro Naraku’s abdomen and heart, in his pure black body, mottled dark red markings had appeared. That was the invasion of the crimson divinity.
Kamishiro Naraku was being beaten like a leather ball by Natsuba Hanae.
He could clearly feel the situation inside his body. His body was now gradually becoming not his own.
And he roared,
“Ebisu!!”
“If you don’t come now, you’ll be violating our previous cooperation!”
“I’m going to betray you!”
And now, Ebisu was using the sea of blood to replenish itself, using a large amount of blood water to mend its severed head. It had just regenerated to around its nose bridge.
It had wanted to recover to its peak state before fighting the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
And to let Kamishiro Naraku and the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain fight, to consume some of her power, was also beneficial to it.
After all, its cooperation with Kamishiro Naraku was by no means close, but was just for their own respective gains.
However, it had still underestimated Kamishiro Naraku’s shamelessness.
To say the words “betrayal and cooperation” so easily and casually, and most importantly, it had no way to deal with it.
Ebisu was furious with Kamishiro Naraku.
If it had been it before it had been brainwashed by the unknown will, it would have surely remembered Kamishiro Naraku’s grudge and would have immediately run away.
And would have used its own ability to create another, even stronger divine artifact, Calamity and Fortune.
And would have come back to take revenge on him.
Unfortunately, in its subconscious, killing the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain had already become its primary goal.
For this…
Even its own life was no longer the first priority.
The gods, born from the mother tree, had been quietly planted with an indelible mark.
Perhaps only a peak god had the power to resist a little.
As for a mid-level god like Ebisu, who relied on a divine artifact, it didn’t even know when it had been hinted at, let alone resist.
Although it didn’t know Kamishiro Naraku’s specific physical condition…
But seeing that Kamishiro Naraku’s black body was being gradually eroded by a crimson color, and that the crimson aura was identical to the divinity on the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain…
It understood that something was wrong.
A blood shadow flashed, and it quickly appeared near the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
And prepared to buy some time for Kamishiro Naraku.
Kamishiro Naraku’s current state was no different from its own in the sea of blood. He was completely suppressed by the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain. And the erosion on his body was like the barrier of the sea of blood.
However, the barrier of the sea of blood could be broken after Ebisu had sacrificed, but Kamishiro Naraku’s own body could not be sacrificed.
However, Kamishiro Naraku’s body was tough and could last longer.
But to be used as a punching bag, and to be beaten until death, this kind of persistence was probably more of a torment.
Kamishiro Naraku wanted to use his supernatural being clones to escape this predicament.
However, just as a dark divinity rose in his body, and he wanted to use this move…
The deep blue feather, which had been condensed into a single feather on Natsuba Hanae’s back, shone with a bright light.
In her crimson vertical pupil, it was instantly filled with a shimmering blue light.
And her soul power was instantly dispersed.
This made Kamishiro Naraku’s mind suddenly go blank. The divinity he had been struggling to control was instantly rendered useless by this daze.
At this moment, Kamishiro Naraku was completely under Natsuba Hanae’s thumb.
So, he could only rely on Ebisu.
And use it to break the situation.
Kamishiro Naraku had now sensed that Ebisu was a bit strange, and that it had an obsession with killing the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
Although it could choose to run away, it had signed an unequal agreement with him and was fighting the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
As for Kamishiro Naraku, before, because of the expansion of the high-level god’s power, he had thought he could easily crush the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain. But now, his intestines were twisted with regret.
He should have run as far as he could when he had obtained the power of a high-level god, and never met the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain again.
As long as he slowly controlled his divinity…
Even if the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain had planted her divinity in his body, he would always find a way to get rid of it.
Unlike now, where the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s divinity had almost occupied a quarter of his body, and was still expanding. It was too late to regret.
Fortunately, there was still Ebisu, this iron-headed fool.
With its stubborn immortality, it could continuously repair itself through the sea of blood. And with him being able to use a supernatural being to take its place…
The originally unstoppable Sanctuary Flame’s target was transferred.
In the long run, perhaps he could consume the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s divinity.
She was ultimately just a mid-level god. Her divinity was definitely not much, and was definitely not as much as him, a high-level god.
And divinity was a god’s core power source.
There was still a chance of victory.
He could still be the final winner.
However, Kamishiro Naraku didn’t know that the divinity Natsuba Hanae possessed was so vast that it couldn’t be compared to a normal god.
Then, when Natsuba Hanae raised her right fist again, Ebisu fiercely came.
It mobilized its divinity, and a punch went straight at Natsuba Hanae.
The two fists met…
Ebisu was completely at a disadvantage, and there was no fluctuation or diffusion.
Its right fist was completely shattered by Natsuba Hanae. Blood splattered all over the sea of blood, and in the next moment, a Sanctuary Flame wrapped around Ebisu’s severed right limb.
“Substitute for death!”
Kamishiro Naraku immediately shouted and summoned another supernatural being.
With a single limb of the supernatural being, he transferred the Sanctuary Flame on Ebisu’s body. Soon, that one Sanctuary Flame burned on that one supernatural being and annihilated it.
And Ebisu’s right hand, unlike its head, which was a vital part…
Under the nourishment of the sea of blood, it was quickly regenerated.
It had to be said that although Ebisu and Kamishiro Naraku’s combination was not strong in attack and their tacit understanding was not high, their ability to disgust people was first-rate.
Probably even a real, non-divine artifact high-level god, after fighting for three hundred rounds, would be helpless against them.
Their hands would be tired, but Ebisu and Kamishiro Naraku would still be in their original state.
And Kamishiro Naraku, seeing Ebisu join the battle, although it had been at a disadvantage the first second it had met the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain…
But it had still bought him a chance to breathe.
His figure flashed back.
He looked at his own body, which had now been eroded by a third of the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s crimson divinity.
That crimson vertical pupil, there were more than a dozen of them, densely on his body. When he met its gaze, an unprecedentedly terrifying aura and that playful feeling came.
As if it were whispering to him that he couldn’t escape from its grasp.
It made Kamishiro Naraku’s scalp tingle.
He did his best to mobilize his divinity and resist the invasion of the crimson divinity. Under his full concentration, he finally slowed down its expansion.
And he immediately looked around, preparing to help Ebisu.
But he found that in this short time, Ebisu had been shattered by the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
Even if the sea of blood was frantically replenishing, under the effect of the Sanctuary Flame, it could not be regenerated.
Kamishiro Naraku quickly prepared to summon a supernatural being to take its place.
But it was too late.
The single wing on Natsuba Hanae’s back, which had transformed into a black arm, held the Umbrella Sword. A terrifying, twisted Sanctuary Flame completely burned in the Umbrella Sword, leaping with incomparable joy.
Darker than darkness, a flame that devoured darkness.
A series of blade lights flashed, and they crisscrossed and cut.
In an instant, Ebisu’s body was cut into countless pieces. The Sanctuary Flame burst into flames, and it became a wisp of blood smoke, and dissipated into the air.
Kamishiro Naraku was dumbfounded.
And a thought of running away immediately arose in his heart.
However, a wild and arrogant, yet childish, voice suddenly echoed from directly below.
“Hahahahahaha!”
“Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, you can’t kill me.”
“You will be entangled by me, and your divinity will gradually be consumed, until you are completely killed by me!!”
Hearing this, Natsuba Hanae looked down with a blank expression.
She saw in the sea of blood, a pair of massive, blood-red, copper-coin-like eyes, and a massive mouth, which was speaking.
Clearly, as she had expected, the sea of blood and Ebisu were one.
The blood ability users of the Kujō family, blood was their core.
And Ebisu was naturally the same.
Although Ebisu’s divine body had been killed, as long as the sea of blood existed, and with a certain amount of time, Ebisu could be reborn.
Such a wide sea of blood, which had flooded the entire city, to destroy it was almost impossible. This was probably the capital that had allowed Ebisu, with its mid-level god’s body, to survive the war a thousand years ago.
However…
No matter what kind of god, as long as it stood in her way.
Death was the only way.
Calculating the time, the Sanctuary Flame particles that the Sanctuary Flame had spread had almost filled the air.
Facing Ebisu’s mockery, Natsuba Hanae murmured softly.
Although the words were silent, they seemed to shake the sky and make her voice echo throughout the world.
“Great Sanctuary Heaven.”
In the next moment, a scene that was a true miracle appeared.
Far more vast than the sea of blood, in the nine heavens, an endless Sanctuary Flame, like a fiery cloud at sunset, densely occupied the entire field of vision of the sky.
“Fall.”
Natsuba Hanae ordered like a king, and the Sanctuary Flame, like a subject, obeyed and fell together.
As if the sky were declaring war on the earth.
She would burn the mountains and boil the sea!
