Chapter 254: Xiao Bai’s Young Girl Form
When Natsuba Hanae had used a wisp of Amaterasu’s divinity from what she had extracted from Kamishiro Hime’s “Amaterasu’s Majesty” ability…
And had tried to purify Yamata no Orochi’s terrifying curse with this…
To see if it would be effective…
However, the effect was so good that it surprised Natsuba Hanae.
Even with such a weak divinity of Amaterasu, the curse power on Natsuba Hanae’s body had actually, like a cat seeing a mouse, frantically dissolved and dissipated into the air.
In just an instant, more than half of her fair and delicate skin had returned.
Then, with it, came Yamata no Orochi’s horrified roar.
“Impossible!!!”
“Why is the power of the mother tree on you?! Who are you?!!”
“The incarnation of the mother tree?! Impossible! The mother tree has no consciousness! And the power of the mother tree on you is too weak, too weak.”
“A thief?”
“But how could you, who are not a primordial god, find the location of the mother tree?!!”
Yamata no Orochi’s frantic roar, a series of thoughts flashed in Its mind, but each one was self-denied by It, because each one was beyond common sense.
The location of the mother tree was actually not in the underground, but in an unknown space. Only a primordial god could find it with a weak sense.
And Yamata no Orochi, through that body of Its curse, had deceived and confused the mother tree, and had let the mother tree, in the way of producing a primordial god, give birth to It again.
And thus, in the strange form of a curse, It had transformed into the body of an evil god.
But to deceive and to steal were two completely different things.
Its behavior was in line with the mother tree’s program, and what the new god had done was simply nonsense.
Not only that, but to be able to steal power from the mother tree, even the peak Susanoo couldn’t do it. It was impossible for a weaker new god to steal it.
But the new god did indeed possess the power of the mother tree. This was something It simply could not understand.
Most importantly…
Now, It was completely restrained by the power of the mother tree.
If it had been It a thousand years ago, even with the power of the mother tree, but if it was only this amount, at most It would be a little afraid, and the degree of fear would be like Its previous fear of an equal amount of Sanctuary Flame.
When they really fought, this level of the mother tree’s power would not have a great impact.
However, it was different now.
It had just been born from the mother tree, and it was when It was most severely restrained by the mother tree. It had no resistance at all to the power of the mother tree’s purification.
The situation was extremely unfavorable.
Its strongest curse had actually ended in this way. It was extremely frustrated.
And Natsuba Hanae, hearing Its horrified words, although she showed no emotion on the surface—but in her heart, waves of shock were surging violently.
A mother tree?
Unknown information was unconsciously revealed by It.
However, Yamata no Orochi had identified the power of purification as belonging to the mother tree. It very likely thought that Natsuba Hanae knew, but she did not know this existence.
However, Natsuba Hanae had learned new intelligence.
And from this, Natsuba Hanae could get some analysis and understanding.
Although the power of Amaterasu was recognized by It as the power of the mother tree…
Did this mean…
Amaterasu was equal to the mother tree?
After all, even a supernatural user with the same ability, the actual ability would have subtle differences. And this difference could be perceived by a supernatural user with perception.
Not to mention Yamata no Orochi, who was a former peak god. Even if the powers of the mother tree and Amaterasu were similar…
But It could not possibly have mistaken it.
Natsuba Hanae had already guessed a possibility.
The reason why Yamata no Orochi didn’t know Amaterasu’s name was very likely that a thousand years ago, Amaterasu was an existence named the mother tree.
According to It, the mother tree had no consciousness.
Did that mean that the mother tree actually had a consciousness, and Amaterasu was the consciousness of the mother tree?
It was just that It hadn’t discovered this.
Of course, Natsuba Hanae would not tell It. For a dead person, and an enemy, Its on-the-spot death was the best end.
However, for the mother tree, Natsuba Hanae still had a lot of questions.
However, seeing Its shocked appearance now, it was clear that she couldn’t get anything out of It.
Not only that…
The curse It had used had been broken by Natsuba Hanae, and It had completely lost all Its chances of survival. Natsuba Hanae had also lost her bargaining chip to threaten It.
Even if Natsuba Hanae were to ask, It would never tell her any news.
As time went by, after a while, the snake-like, intricate, purplish-black curse power on Natsuba Hanae’s body disappeared completely.
And the essence of the curse’s aura slowly floated out.
And it condensed into a purplish-black, condensed Yamata no Orochi in front of Natsuba Hanae.
Its state was very weak.
As if a gust of wind could blow It away.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae gently landed on the ground and used her crimson divinity to completely wrap It, to prevent It from causing any more trouble. Facing It, it was better to be careful and cautious.
At the same time, Natsuba Hanae’s own divinity was also about to be consumed to its extreme, and the eight phoenix heads behind her began to gradually dissipate.
And she preserved a final bit of her divinity, in case of any changes, and to respond.
And even in this form, Yamata no Orochi was still roaring nonstop.
“New god……!! Ababababa.”
Hearing this, Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips slightly and looked at the current Yamata no Orochi. How did she feel that Its words and appearance were a bit silly?
Although Natsuba Hanae knew that It was a bit unlikely to tell her any information, she still tried to ask.
“Yamata no Orochi, what else do you know about the mother tree?”
However, what answered Natsuba Hanae was Its unclear voice.
“New god…… damn… mother tree…… resurrection…… ababababa.”
Its words were not continuous.
Natsuba Hanae had already understood.
It seemed that due to the failure of the curse, Its consciousness had been completely damaged. Her feeling that It was silly just now was not an illusion, but a fact.
It was indeed silly.
In this way, to get information about the mother tree from Its mouth was also nonsense. Natsuba Hanae could only learn the details from other gods.
And as long as it was a primordial god, they should have some understanding of the mother tree.
However, Susanoo was definitely the one who knew the most. In Its mouth, he was one of the strongest gods a thousand years ago.
The strongest also meant that he knew a lot of news.
But although Natsuba Hanae had now advanced to a peak god, her mastery of her own power was still not deep enough. Her peak god level was probably not as good as Susanoo’s.
Natsuba Hanae still needed to continue to get stronger.
Her own mastery of her power, she should be able to figure it out soon.
But the foundation of a peak god’s level…
Natsuba Hanae’s gaze was deep and distant, and her red, glass-like beautiful eyes were fixed on the Yamata no Orochi in her hand. This was her supplement.
However, what Natsuba Hanae needed was only Its filthy aura, to enrich her own foundation, and to continue to grow stronger in the peak god rank.
This strengthening was similar to how It had fallen into an evil god for the sake of the filthy aura a thousand years ago.
But Natsuba Hanae didn’t want to incorporate the curse divinity. What if by a twist of fate, it became her ninth phoenix head? That would be bad.
And when Natsuba Hanae was a high-level god, her total divinity had reached a peak god. Due to her promotion, it had now doubled, and her total amount was also almost at its extreme.
Her current weakness in divinity was just because she hadn’t yet recovered. But the amount of divinity she could accommodate was already as vast as the stars.
To continue to enhance her divinity was meaningless.
Natsuba Hanae only needed a filthy aura.
Then what should Natsuba Hanae do with the remaining divinity? To let it disappear and return to the heavens and the earth would be too wasteful.
But Natsuba Hanae couldn’t share it with her daughters, because Its curse divinity had a certain nature. To give it to her daughters would undoubtedly be to damage their future.
And at that moment…
A fine sound of earth breaking was heard.
Natsuba Hanae looked in that direction.
Natsuba Hanae only saw a small mound of earth on the ground, and in the next moment, it split open.
Then, a small, flawless white snake head emerged, its crystal clear, emerald-like, magnificent snake pupils looked around.
When it saw Natsuba Hanae, an unprecedented light shone in its snake pupils.
And it quickly crawled towards Natsuba Hanae. It was no longer just a thought that Natsuba Hanae could sense through her soul, but a clear and articulate speech.
A young female voice shouted,
“Mom, Mom!!”
As Xiao Bai flew towards Natsuba Hanae, a hazy purple light spread from all over her body. Her divinity surged and boiled, and her body began to undergo a dramatic change.
And Xiao Bai began to take on a human form.
Her long, white, jade-like hair, with a slight curl, fell to the ground, and was longer than her body.
On her fair and delicate skin, there were still faint snake scales.
Her emerald-like, exquisite beautiful eyes seemed to be about to overflow with water, and they rippled with a full of life.
Her delicate nose and small mouth looked cute to the point of being a foul.
Xiao Bai was an exquisite and unparalleled………
———A young girl.
Yes, a young girl.
Natsuba Hanae watched as Xiao Bai ran over with her bare feet, and then Xiao Bai hugged her thigh, and vigorously rubbed her plump face.
And behind Xiao Bai, from her tailbone, a long, white snake body and snake head grew out, and it was wagging quickly, like a puppy.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips slightly.
From her appearance, Xiao Bai’s appearance was probably around five years old.
Although Xiao Bai’s true size was not much different from Yamata no Orochi’s, and the small snake form she usually saw was actually a condensed form…
To transform into a young girl’s appearance, and her real size, was a bit too big.
But according to Xiao Bai being born less than ten days ago, not to mention her human form being that of a young girl, even if she were a baby girl…
It seemed it was not an unacceptable thing.
Not only that, but Natsuba Hanae had also keenly sensed…
Xiao Bai’s rank had broken through again. She had gone from an early-level god to being only a line away from a mid-level god.
This promotion speed was simply ridiculous to the extreme.
However, without external influence, it was impossible to have such a promotion speed.
Natsuba Hanae sensed a hint of an anomaly.
And she said,
“Xiao Bai, have you eaten any supernatural materials recently? Remember to stabilize your rank. If the total amount of divinity can’t keep up, to advance too quickly will make your strength weak among those of the same rank.”
And Xiao Bai, hearing Natsuba Hanae’s words, did not let go of her thigh.
Xiao Bai raised her little head and looked up, her emerald-like beautiful eyes meeting Natsuba Hanae’s red, glass-like beautiful eyes.
And Xiao Bai said in a soft, animal-like voice,
“Mom, I didn’t eat any supernatural materials.”
“When I was in Yamata no Orochi’s snake head, I found that its divinity had no effect on me, but instead had a sense of intimacy.”
“So I…”
“I just ate a whole bunch of it in a daze, and then the divinity that originally had no traits seemed to have become the same trait.”
“And I’m about to advance to a mid-level god.”
“However…”
Xiao Bai rubbed her slightly bulging little belly and continued to say softly,
“I think I ate a little too much.”
“But it’s fine.”
“I can transfer a part of my divinity to Xiao Bai number two. It will also help me absorb divinity.”
In the next moment, the tail that had been the same as Xiao Bai’s before she had transformed was now draped over Xiao Bai’s shoulder. And Xiao Bai extended her finger and poked Xiao Bai number two’s snake head.
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae carefully sensed with her own perception.
And found that the Xiao Bai number two that Xiao Bai had spoken of actually had a separate flow of divinity, and its flowing divine fluctuation was that of a newly entered early-level god.
Natsuba Hanae subconsciously thought of Yamata no Orochi.
And immediately understood that although Xiao Bai was the opposite of Yamata no Orochi, their life form and divinity were almost the same.
However, with the buff of the Yamata no Orochi template…
The “realm” that Yamata no Orochi had not yet reached, Xiao Bai could also continue to climb. Yamata no Orochi’s limit was by no means Xiao Bai’s limit.
But then…
Natsuba Hanae looked at Xiao Bai, and then at the mindless Yamata no Orochi in her palm. A strange light appeared in her red, glass-like beautiful eyes.
The way to not waste Yamata no Orochi’s divinity had been found.
Natsuba Hanae would devour Its filthy aura to strengthen her Old God power and increase her own foundation.
And Its curse divinity would be given to Xiao Bai to devour.
With their two origins, it would allow Xiao Bai to grow quickly.
In that case, when she faced Susanoo, she could also have Xiao Bai help, and with her curse power, she could launch a similar attack on Susanoo as Yamata no Orochi had done before.
And gain a greater advantage.
And with that, her advantage against Susanoo would be even greater.
Of course, if she were to give some of the filthy aura to Xiao Bai, it would undoubtedly be able to raise Xiao Bai’s combat power again in a short time.
But Xiao Bai was different from Yamata no Orochi. Her potential was limitless. To become an evil god would instead destroy the uniqueness of her divinity.
Xiao Bai’s aptitude, if she were to bring her own authority to its limit like Susanoo, the possibilities she would have would be even vaster.
