Chapter 253: The Death of Yamata no Orochi’s Body
Damn it!
A look of venom appeared in Yamata no Orochi’s snake pupils.
All Its other snake heads had been cut off by the new god. Although It could regenerate them in a dozen or so seconds…
But the other phoenix heads of the new god were not decorations. They were all staring at Its regenerating snake heads. The moment there was a hint of regeneration, they would take a big bite of Its flesh.
And they were suppressing Its regeneration.
Undoubtedly, if the new god were to cut off Its last snake head, Its body would be completely dead!
However…
Who the hell was Amaterasu?
Why was the new god so insistent on asking about her?
Yamata no Orochi frantically searched Its mind for information about Amaterasu. Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, It had no memory of a god with this name.
It had originally wanted to lie and make up something based on Its own logic.
But the new god clearly had some understanding of Amaterasu. If It were to say something that contradicted what she already knew…
Yamata no Orochi thought of this.
It looked at the extremely cold Umbrella Sword at Its snake head, and the blood that was flowing out. A hint of fear appeared in Its snake pupils.
With the new god’s ruthless methods…
Its head would surely be cut off in an instant.
Having been resurrected once, It didn’t want to die again.
However, It didn’t know about Amaterasu.
The second thing Natsuba Hanae had said, to ask It who the strongest god of Its time was, as a peak god on the spot, It of course knew very well.
It had fought with every peak god.
After all, It was the only peak evil god. At that time, almost every peak god wanted to fight It.
It had even eaten a few of the weaker ones among the peak gods. So which god was the strongest a thousand years ago, It had a certain say.
With a knife to Its snake head…
It had no choice but to comply.
However, if the new god thought she could just get all the information out of It, that was impossible.
It would let the new god know that Its information also had a price.
And the price was to make her suffer a fate worse than death!
Yamata no Orochi’s snake pupils narrowed slightly. All the curse power in Its body began to be mobilized. It stared at Natsuba Hanae with a look of malice.
And Its hoarse voice slowly came,
“A thousand years ago, the strongest gods…”
“Were Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, who were evenly matched.”
Although It was very unhappy in Its heart, in terms of hard strength, It felt that It was indeed a step weaker than Susanoo.
His authority of lightning was at its peak.
Back then, It had only been able to use Its strange curse power to trick Susanoo and thus injure him.
His divine might…
With just a wisp of it, he could make the nine heavens thunder continuously. He was the most terrifying opponent It had ever encountered.
However…
Before It had fought with Susanoo…
It had once heard that a female god named Tsukuyomi had suddenly appeared and had fought with Susanoo.
At that time, Susanoo had arrogantly said that there was another level above the peak god level.
Although most gods didn’t believe it…
But It did.
Its aptitude, Its ability, had reached the extreme on the path of a peak god, and It couldn’t advance an inch.
And It longed to continue to grow stronger.
And so It had willingly fallen into an evil god, and had absorbed the filthy aura.
Clearly, Its originally no longer increasing strength had once again received a surge.
But it had not reached the limit of a peak god.
There was still a certain distance.
But in the darkness, It had already sensed that there was a “realm” above the peak god level. By crossing that “realm,” It could reach a new level.
Of course, this sense was vague. It didn’t know if it was true.
But when Susanoo had proposed it, It was ninety percent sure.
And It felt that Susanoo’s strength was probably similar to Its own.
However, it was that Susanoo who, when he had said there was another level, a fellow peak god, Tsukuyomi, had suddenly appeared.
After the two had fought, both had been seriously injured.
Tsukuyomi had never been heard from again. And Susanoo had said that he had been beaten down by Tsukuyomi and had sealed his chance to advance to that level, and had thus become extremely resentful of women.
This information, It had also confirmed a part of its truth in Its brief conversation with Susanoo when they had fought later.
However, It had never heard of Tsukuyomi again.
And Susanoo, after recovering from his injuries, although his higher level was completely sealed, his strength had returned to its original state.
And he had fought with It and had killed It.
And had even taken Its divine artifact.
It didn’t understand what use the other had for Its divine artifact, but It had a guess. Probably Susanoo wanted to start with the divine artifact.
And see if he could find a way to advance to a higher level again.
After It had said these words, It looked at the new god, who was in a state of contemplation, and continued,
“Susanoo has broken free from my curse. After a long period of slumber, as long as he awakens, he will surely return to his peak period.”
“New god, although you have reached the peak god level…”
“But you are far from being Susanoo’s opponent.”
“Let me go, and I can help you deal with Susanoo. My curse power has some restraining effect on him, and can be a good…”
Yamata no Orochi said a lot.
But Natsuba Hanae had no time to listen. A fleeting shadow of light and shadow appeared in her crimson vertical pupil, and a thousand thoughts raced through her mind.
After all, It had not said anything about Amaterasu.
After confirming this a few times, Natsuba Hanae had already understood that in Its memory, there was indeed no god with this name.
But how could that be?
Now, Amaterasu was not some unknown little god, but the god of the Kamishiro imperial family, and was recognized as the strongest god.
This non-existence…
Was as if an emperor, who was most famous in history, had suddenly been confirmed to be a fake, which was unacceptable.
Natsuba Hanae had already believed a little that Amaterasu did not exist a thousand years ago.
But Natsuba Hanae also had reservations. She needed more information.
As for dealing with Susanoo, and needing Its curse power’s assistance?
This, It didn’t have to worry about. After all, It was just a dying god.
A Yamata no Orochi who went back on Its word. Natsuba Hanae had no trust in It at all.
To join forces with It to fight Susanoo?
At that time, It might even stab Natsuba Hanae in the back for Its own interests.
As for Its reasons, there were too many. What a thousand-year-old god was a gang, and a new god was another.
Of course, It didn’t even need any reason.
It was just acting for Its own interests.
Thinking of this, Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips slightly and said softly,
“Thank you for the information you gave me.”
“As a reward, I’ll let you die with a little less pain.”
“Don’t worry, my sword is very fast.”
Natsuba Hanae was already very merciful. In her mercy, because she had asked It, she had let It live for a few dozen more seconds.
And now, It had completely lost Its use value.
No matter if It knew about Amaterasu’s existence or not, since It hadn’t said anything until now…
Then Natsuba Hanae naturally would not hold any hope for It.
At the Natsuba main residence, there were still some things waiting for Natsuba Hanae to solve.
Before Natsuba Hanae faced Susanoo, she had to become more familiar with her peak god’s power.
In the next moment, with Natsuba Hanae’s will…
The Umbrella Sword also let out a pleasant sound of a sword, and a brilliant sword light bloomed, and it dazed her pupils.
And Natsuba Hanae fiercely swung.
It used all Its filthy aura to block this sword strike, but unfortunately, it only blocked it for a moment.
A black blood seeped from the snake body’s end.
And It had been severed.
And the burning Sanctuary Flame, the crimson vertical pupil of the black phoenix head, a greedy appetite spread.
And it opened its massive maw, its mouth like a bottomless abyss.
And it swallowed the snake head.
Even if the main consciousness’s snake head was cut off, It possessed an extremely tenacious life force and would not die instantly.
It saw Its snake body being cut off, and also saw the black phoenix head coming.
In an instant, the red light in Its snake pupils shone brightly. In Its mottled snake body, in the crevices of Its outer scales, a purple charm became more and more brilliant and mottled, and it outlined a strange and complicated marking.
And it was intricate.
A dense curse divinity spread from Its snake body and completely boiled, twisting the air, and a strange and grotesque feeling spread.
A hoarse, nauseating whisper came,
“I curse you, new god!”
“With my flesh and blood, with my soul, with my divinity, with my filth, with my body as a sacrifice, I will become your nightmare.”
“And become the strongest curse. In your body, day and night, every moment, I will curse you and bring you death.”
Yamata no Orochi murmured nonstop.
And with Its words, on Its original massive snake body, a hazy purplish-black light appeared.
Then it became massive, and became clear.
And it was a phantom Yamata no Orochi.
But it was not a real body, but something like a spiritual body soul.
In the next moment…
From this lump of purplish-black soul Yamata no Orochi, purplish-black, intricate characters, like snakes, wriggled out of Its body and attacked Natsuba Hanae.
With each part that crawled out, the purplish-black Yamata no Orochi would become smaller by a part.
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Natsuba Hanae’s heart. Natsuba Hanae narrowed her crimson vertical pupil.
Because the eight phoenix heads had already lost their target…
And were now all liberated.
Natsuba Hanae willed it, and the eight phoenix heads attacked the purplish-black, snake-like characters.
A deathly still Sanctuary Flame, a magnificent soul, a violent Old God…
But it was useless. All failed.
The purplish-black characters seemed to be an attack from another dimension. Natsuba Hanae’s attack simply could not affect them. She could only watch as they came at her step by step.
And Its flesh body had already completely perished. Only the purplish-black soul body was there with a sinister laugh. A spiritual shock swept through this area, as if It had the victory in Its grasp.
“Useless, useless, useless!”
“New god!”
“You did indeed kill my body.”
“And you made my second resurrection a dream. You made me lose the chance to reach the peak again.”
“A high-level god’s power can’t deal with you.”
“But this time’s curse sacrifice is not just my high-level god’s body, but also the essence of my peak god’s soul spirit.”
“With you having just reached the peak god level, to deal with my peak god’s extreme soul is not enough!”
“Be a good bed for my curse.”
The purplish-black snake-like intricate characters came before Natsuba Hanae. Natsuba Hanae swung the Umbrella Sword, but found that they still existed.
The target was as if only Natsuba Hanae.
Just as the purplish-black intricate characters were about to attack Natsuba Hanae’s cheek, she waved her hand.
In the next moment, the purplish-black snake-like characters disappeared.
Natsuba Hanae raised her hand.
And Natsuba Hanae found that the snake-like purplish-black characters had already entered her body. A cold and piercing pain instantly filled her entire body.
And it was constantly absorbing her own power and strengthening the curse.
And this was just one purplish-black, snake-like character.
Now, It was continuously producing them. Its originally massive soul body was now shrunk to half its size.
Natsuba Hanae mobilized her extreme perception and sensed the curse she had received.
A strange sense of familiarity came.
A look of enlightenment appeared in Natsuba Hanae’s eyes, and she said softly,
“This…”
“Is no different from the one on the pseudo-Susanoo.”
“It seems It used the same method on Susanoo a thousand years ago, and now It’s using it on me.”
This time, Natsuba Hanae really felt it was a bit tricky.
She had originally thought that It had not reached the peak god level, and it was highly likely that It could not use such a curse. But she had not expected that with the soul of a peak god, perhaps the power was a little weaker because it had lost the buff of a peak god’s body…
But it was undoubtedly still released by It.
And the curse that Susanoo had spent a thousand years on and had not completely eliminated, to be frank, Natsuba Hanae had no confidence at all.
Natsuba Hanae dodged, but it had no effect.
The curse had completely locked onto her. It was impossible to shake it off.
As time passed, the curses on Natsuba Hanae’s body grew more and more numerous. Her originally fair and delicate skin, the snake-like purplish-black characters were constantly twisting, and it became very strange.
And when the last purplish-black snake-like character entered, on Natsuba Hanae’s hand, a snake mouth suddenly opened. Its hoarse voice said,
“I won’t die. Susanoo can’t break my curse, and you can’t either.”
“When you’re threatened, I’ll break free. When I return, and I’m a complete me, I’ll completely kill you!”
Natsuba Hanae was silent.
And Natsuba Hanae thought about the various powers she had mastered.
Suddenly, a power appeared in her mind. She willed it.
In an instant, the fine, pure light named purification bloomed in the depths of her heart.
The snake-like characters on Natsuba Hanae’s skin, as if they had met their natural enemy, frantically dissolved and twisted.
It said with an unbelievable, extremely fearful voice,
“How is that possible!!!!!!!!”
“How can you have the power of the mother tree!!!!!!!!”
