Chapter 251: Yamata no Orochi: “A Fair Fight, My Ass!”
In the snake head…
Xiao Bai’s soul body fiercely and tightly wrapped around Yamata no Orochi’s main consciousness’s soul body.
And made Yamata no Orochi, who had been preparing to leave the body and exchange snake heads with Its sub-consciousness, unable to break free for a moment.
Seeing this, Its main consciousness was furious.
“You—!!”
“Damn it!!”
Yamata no Orochi struggled to twist Its soul snake body, wanting to pull out from Xiao Bai’s entanglement.
Its powerful divinity and majestic filthy aura, like a canopy that covered the sun, enveloped every corner of the depths of Its soul.
And It frantically launched an attack on Xiao Bai’s soul body, like a needle, like a drill, and invaded Xiao Bai’s soul snake body.
Encountering this intense pain, Xiao Bai’s soul snake body subconsciously loosened a little.
And Yamata no Orochi, with this, Its body also withdrew step by step.
“Yaa, yaa, yaa!!”
Xiao Bai, under the dual attack of Its divinity and filthy aura, cried out. In her emerald-like, vibrant snake pupils, there was a hazy, crystal clear wateriness.
Since her birth, this was the first time she had felt such intense pain.
So, encountering this pain, Xiao Bai couldn’t help but loosen her entangled body a little. But when she realized that Its main consciousness wanted to escape just like this…
Xiao Bai forcibly endured the intense pain and drove out her own purple, hazy, and extremely little divinity, and with great difficulty, she resisted Its main consciousness’s dual attack.
“I won’t let you run away just like this, you bad thing!”
“The one who should be damned is not me, but you!”
“Mom will definitely kill you!!!”
Even if Yamata no Orochi was now escaping this snake head at an extremely slow speed…
It wouldn’t be long, probably in less than ten minutes, that It could escape.
But now, the time was really too tight.
That burning Sanctuary Flame bird head of Natsuba Hanae, with its terrifying power, would probably arrive in less than three seconds.
There was far from enough time.
In a world of three seconds…
It was simply impossible to escape from the entanglement of the white soul snake body.
In Its red-glowing snake pupils, a hundred thoughts swirled. In the end, It could only think of a solution that was not a solution.
It should not have used Its power to fight with that white soul snake body.
But should have used it to resist the enemy as much as possible!
Yamata no Orochi suddenly understood.
A thousand years ago, in the same peak god realm, It had lost to Susanoo and could only survive through a curse.
And before, It had occupied the advantage of the dark, and had laid out several means, but they had all been broken by the new god, and thus had turned into a direct confrontation.
This series of events had made It lose the courage to fight head-on.
And had thus become a complete old schemer.
But this was wrong.
Scheming was just to make a battle easier, and was by no means to lose the courage to fight with all one’s might.
A thousand years ago, Yamata no Orochi had used the power of a curse and a filthy aura, a dual power. It had accidentally encountered Susanoo without any scheming.
And had only used Its quick wit during the battle.
But even so, It had only been slightly inferior to Susanoo, and had caused him to suffer a serious injury, and even the power of the curse had entangled him, and he had not fully healed in a thousand years.
And thus had come up with the strange method of using the extremely dangerous ability of his direct descendants to wear it down.
Although it was barely useful, it had also allowed It to take the opportunity to escape.
Overall, a thousand years ago, if Its luck had been a little better, it was not impossible for the outcome to have been reversed.
Then now…
In the same high-level god situation, why should It be afraid of a new god?!!!
Since she had launched an attack on It with all her might, there was no need to dodge. It just needed to return the attack with all Its might.
Why should It be afraid!
In the next moment…
The divinity containing a curse, the filthy aura, and Its own corrosive venom were all completely mobilized by It.
Under Xiao Bai’s influence, they had become slightly chaotic.
But these were all insignificant.
Yamata no Orochi had regained Its original heart. Now, it was as if a fire was burning in Its chest, and it had completely ignited.
And It let out a long roar, and Its hoarse and deep voice said,
“New god!!”
“You’ve made me regain my original heart.”
“As thanks, use your death to commemorate this moment!”
In an instant, facing Natsuba Hanae’s attack…
Yamata no Orochi’s eight snake heads all faced that direction. In their eight snake mouths, whether it was a curse divinity, a filthy aura, or corrosive venom, all were frantically and densely charging up.
In the next moment, it erupted with a boom!
Eight breaths were spat out a certain distance, and then they instantly fused together.
And transformed into a purplish-black color, like Its scales, and it rolled with poisonous bubbles, and like an unstoppable torrent of the ages, it charged at Kōsei’s new form.
“Boom——————!”
A fierce and unparalleled breath, first that intense poison…
Made a sizzling sound on Kōsei’s face. However, the powerful Sanctuary Flame that was burning all over Kōsei’s body frantically reacted with the poisonous water, and a large amount of hazy water vapor rose, and a dark cloud formed in the air.
And an acidic green poisonous water fell.
And the curse divinity and the filthy aura were extremely difficult to deal with. They, as two in one, continuously eroded Kōsei from the inside.
The immensely powerful Sanctuary Flame could only eliminate a part of the curse and filth.
However, more curse and filth seeped in, and longed to destroy the origin of the Sanctuary Flame.
It had to be said that the essence of Its two powers was also very strong.
The curse power was Its unique divinity, which could almost be compared to Susanoo’s lightning, and it was strange and varied, and had numerous transformation methods, and was terrifyingly strange.
And the filthy aura, not to mention, was an existence on par with divinity.
The existence of an evil god was a proof.
If the filthy aura was weak, then there would be no evil god born. Divinity would sweep away the invasion of other auras.
But after an evil god had formed, the filthy aura would occupy the vast majority, and divinity would occupy a small part.
Yamata no Orochi was just like that. Its divinity protected Its original heart, and the other powers around Its body were almost all a filthy aura.
However, a supernatural being was also divided into two types.
One was like Yamata no Orochi.
The other was a supernatural being formed by a twist of fate, which later possessed divinity, similar to that one Old God of Kamishiro Naraku. If it continued to grow, it would become an evil god with a large part of its body being a filthy aura, and divinity as a decoration.
Both powers were extremely powerful, so at that time, Yamata no Orochi was also a powerhouse among the peak gods.
As for why It had lost to Susanoo…
There was no other reason. It was simply because Susanoo, whether in total divinity or in the attainment of the authority of lightning, was a step higher than It.
This point, from Natsuba Hanae devouring Susanoo’s two bodies, and to have raised her total divinity to this level, could be glimpsed.
Of course, even so…
With the strange and varied nature of Its power, It actually also had a possibility of defeating Susanoo.
Back then, the reason why It had become an evil god was actually because It had felt that it was extremely difficult to strengthen Its curse divinity, so It had gone down this path.
It had indeed become stronger, but Its strength was limited.
Of course, for the current Natsuba Hanae, Its strength was evident.
Kōsei, in the face of Its vast power, its originally charging posture was forcibly stopped, and it was even slowly retreating by a small margin.
And in Kōsei’s crimson vertical pupil, with each slight retreat, the violence would become a bit more intense.
Until the violence filled its entire vertical pupil…
Kōsei let out a long roar, a piercing cry like an infant’s wail.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaa——————!!!!”
Its aura suddenly soared again. The Sanctuary Flame burned fiercely on its body, and it rolled up waves of fire.
In the next moment, with an unstoppable ruthlessness, Kōsei ignored the invasion of Its power into its body, and forcibly withstood this power, and began to charge straight at It.
Just as it was about to reach Its main consciousness’s snake head, Kōsei’s sharp and powerful beak, with its countless sharp teeth, prepared to tear at Its snake head.
And the Sanctuary Flame attached to its teeth was enough for it to chew and shatter Its scales!
However, just as Kōsei was about to bite Its main consciousness’s snake head…
Another snake head, beside Its main consciousness snake head, fiercely collided with Kōsei.
“Boom————!”
This snake head was also in the high-level god realm. Although it was not as high as the snake head covered by the main consciousness, it could still fight with Kōsei.
And Kōsei, while being attacked by the combined breath of the other seven snake heads, and a single snake head was directly entangled in close combat…
And the main consciousness snake head was hidden behind.
If Kōsei didn’t deal with the snake head in front of it first, it was clearly difficult to bypass it, and in the process of bypassing it, Kōsei would constantly be subjected to the snake head’s attacks and delays.
In that case, even the current Kōsei would be a little overwhelmed.
So, Kōsei decided to deal with this snake head first.
After a moment of entanglement, it found an opportunity.
Kōsei opened its massive maw, and the boiling Sanctuary Flame in its mouth burned fiercely. Its sharp fangs pierced into the sub-consciousness snake head’s snake neck, and bit through the layers of scales, and black blood flowed out.
Countless Sanctuary Flames immediately spread from the wound and wantonly destroyed this snake head.
“Roar——————————!”
“Painful————!”
The sub-consciousness Yamata no Orochi let out an inhuman, painful cry. But under the control of the main consciousness snake head, it had no thought of dodging or shaking Kōsei off, but continued to block.
Not only that…
Yamata no Orochi already had a plan.
The regenerative ability frantically surged into that one snake head. As the Sanctuary Flame destroyed the cells, the regenerative power restored them.
Of course, in a short time…
Destruction and rebirth formed a strange balance.
But as long as a little more time passed, the Sanctuary Flame would take the upper hand, and thus the Sanctuary Flame would spread in Its body.
At that time, It would have no choice but to autonomously eliminate this snake head.
But it didn’t matter. As long as it wasn’t the main snake head that was cut, the sub-snake head would regenerate in a short time.
However, It felt that Its own physical stamina was being desperately consumed by the constant regeneration.
It didn’t know if It could still use Its regenerative ability then.
So, It had to act quickly.
With that high-level god snake head and the massive consumption of Its regenerative ability, It could barely maintain this brief balance.
It withdrew Its other snake heads.
As Its snake pupils flashed, the red light was even stronger than before. Its seven snake heads firmly stared at Natsuba Hanae in mid-air, and It looked at her seemingly concentrating, and injecting more Sanctuary Flame into her own body.
And wanted to destroy It from the inside out.
But It would by no means let her succeed.
Tear It apart?
Then let’s see who tears faster!
The seven snake heads instantly and infinitely elongated. They were like vines and tentacles, and they constantly attacked Natsuba Hanae, and their bodies were wrapped in a curse and filthy aura, and they boiled like terrifying lava.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae, who had been immersed in her heart and channeling the Sanctuary Flame, her mind was also activated. Her crimson vertical pupil was filled with a cold and indifferent light, and she looked at the massive and fierce seven snake heads coming here.
And she pursed her lips.
In this dangerous situation where Yamata no Orochi was almost fighting to the death, there was no panic, and even a faint smile appeared.
And she murmured softly,
“Not enough.”
“‘Hands’, still not enough—”
Give birth to her, more, more hands, more, more heads, more, more power—!
“Crack—crack—”
Like a young bird pecking at its eggshell, a soft rustling sound of its birth into the world.
Then, the young bird let out its first clear cry in the world.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
No, to be precise…
It was young birds.
Because the second clear cry also sounded clearly.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!!”
Then, it was the third, the fourth, the fifth, and even… the eighth!
【—Vwooooom———————!】
With one cry after another…
In the next moment, behind Natsuba Hanae’s back, a pure black circle of a deathly still divine ring, and then a flawless white circle of a divine ring appeared, symbolizing a Rule.
Then, it was the crimson divine ring of divinity, the azure divine ring of the soul, the emerald green divine ring of the fierce wind, the dark gray divine ring of the Old God, the brilliant golden divine ring of lightning, and the blood-red divine ring of blood, all appeared one by one.
As if by rote, one after another of phoenix heads of a color corresponding to the divine ring emerged from behind Natsuba Hanae, and their figures continued to expand, until they were as huge as Kōsei.
With the expansion and appearance of each phoenix head, Natsuba Hanae’s own power level increased by a notch, and thus she broke through the limits of her own foundation.
Her divinity was more and more terrifying and majestic, and her body, although as usual, seemed more magnificent and deep.
And reached the critical point of a high-level god.
And when the phoenix heads’ closed eyes suddenly opened, they were a neat row of crimson vertical pupils, as if a thousand stars had been extinguished, and a bubble had been shattered, and a brilliant red sun had risen.
Natsuba Hanae’s power reached its extreme.
Then, silently…
———Promotion.
In the next moment, the phoenix heads flashed with an extremely violent and fierce look, and firmly stared at the direction of Its attack.
The faint smile on Natsuba Hanae’s lips couldn’t help but deepen.
And she said softly,
“Now, it’s a truly fair duel.”
“Eight against eight.”
…
