Chapter 280: Susanoo: “Is She Tsukuyomi?!”
“Crack—!”
Between Susanoo’s brows, a crisp sound came from within the great sun diagram.
But on the surface, there were no broken cracks.
Because the crack had appeared inside the great sun diagram, and it looked like a scratch on a glass.
However, when Susanoo had used the ten-fist sword, he had already anticipated this situation. The fact that a part of the great sun diagram had not yet dissipated was already good news.
Moreover, Susanoo couldn’t pay too much attention to this point now.
He had to deal with Natsuba Hanae as soon as possible, and to reduce the time he used the ten-fist sword, he could reduce the possibility of his great sun diagram dissipating.
And Susanoo poured a massive amount of lightning divinity into the ten-fist sword.
The originally pitch-black ten-fist sword, with its mottled, dark markings, was quickly filled with gold.
This was the correct activated state of the ten-fist sword.
What Natsuba Genryū had used before was just to use the ten-fist sword as a sharper weapon, and to merge it with his body.
However, if Natsuba Genryū were willing to sacrifice, he could still activate a part of the ten-fist sword’s power.
Unfortunately, without activating the ten-fist sword, Natsuba Genryū had been beheaded by a single, devastating sword strike from Natsuba Hanae.
Of course, after Natsuba Hanae had shown the level of a peak god, even if Natsuba Genryū had activated a part of the ten-fist sword’s power, it would still have been a single sword strike.
And there would have been no room for much resistance.
And at this moment, Susanoo’s pure gold pupils were firmly staring at Natsuba Hanae.
And a thunderous roar echoed.
“Give her the judgment of a god’s severing!!”
Vwoooom—!
The ten-fist sword immediately let out a soft cry, as if it had sensed its master’s immense anger. The golden markings were completely filled.
Sensing this, Susanoo’s figure immediately shot away.
In reality, Susanoo’s speed was ultimately a step higher than Natsuba Hanae’s, because he possessed the existence of the great sun diagram.
Like the sun, it shone on all of him, and enhanced all his strength.
However, Natsuba Hanae was not just a lightning divinity-type elemental power to enhance her speed.
Natsuba Hanae’s fierce wind power could also enhance her speed.
And with the sixth sense of her soul spiritual power, Natsuba Hanae had forcibly pulled her own speed, which should have been a step weaker than Susanoo’s, to the same level.
Especially now, Natsuba Hanae had used his power to fight him.
Only lightning could keep up with lightning.
On this point, Susanoo was disgusted to the extreme.
Thinking of this, Susanoo further activated his own lightning authority, and his speed was even greater than before. With an unparalleled speed, he transformed into a ball of golden light.
And Susanoo was beside Natsuba Hanae.
Carrying the power of the ten-fist sword, a lightning light spread from the sword, and it coiled out a powerful lightning dragon, and Susanoo fiercely swung it out.
“Roar——————!”
The lightning dragon let out a cry, and its massive dragon head roared at Natsuba Hanae.
With the enhancement of the ten-fist sword, the power of this one blow, Natsuba Hanae did not dare to face it head-on. Although her immortality could keep her from dying when she possessed divinity…
But the problem of pain was not something immortality could solve. So it was better not to get injured if possible.
Moreover, Natsuba Hanae did not want to become dependent on her immortality.
In this way, in the future, Natsuba Hanae would very likely fall before an ability that suppressed her immortality.
Facing the charging lightning dragon…
Natsuba Hanae retreated dozens of steps, preparing to dodge this attack.
However, just as Natsuba Hanae had retreated dozens of steps, Susanoo, with a single flash, once again moved in front of Natsuba Hanae.
A hint of violence appeared in Susanoo’s pupils, and Susanoo said,
“Even with lightning power, in terms of pure speed, you are still not as good as me!”
Natsuba Hanae naturally knew this.
To have been able to break Susanoo’s arm before was more because Susanoo had not expected her speed to have reached that level. He had been careless, and that was why Natsuba Hanae had been able to instantly injure him.
However…
Was Natsuba Hanae’s pure speed really not as good as Susanoo’s?
A faint smile appeared on Natsuba Hanae’s lips.
When Susanoo saw this faint smile, he seemed to have been triggered by PTSD, and a bad premonition once again welled up in his heart.
And sure enough, in the next second…
Natsuba Hanae pursed her lips slightly and said softly,
“You say my speed is not as good as yours?”
“That’s not necessarily the case.”
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz—!
On Natsuba Hanae’s back, an incredibly powerful lightning divinity gathered, and a wing made purely of golden feathers slowly spread.
The tip of the wing was like a bird’s beak, and it was extremely sharp.
And on the upper part, that even more violent and cruel crimson vertical pupil appeared, and it firmly stared at Susanoo.
And the phoenix head opened its bird-feather-like sharp beak, and a piercing cry, like a demonic voice, and like a thunderclap, entered Susanoo’s ears.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!!”
In the next moment, facing the distant lightning dragon, a dazzling fighting spirit shone in the phoenix head’s crimson vertical pupil.
The original single wing, with an extremely fast expansion, became massive, and was even a bit larger than the lightning dragon.
And it transformed into a golden, lightning-like, slender phoenix head.
And it charged straight at the lightning dragon.
“Boom——————————!”
The two fiercely intertwined, and the lightning phoenix head, with an unparalleled momentum, completely shattered the lightning dragon, and it transformed into a sky full of golden star dust, and it drifted indefinitely.
However, Susanoo did not give up because of this, and did not stop his attack.
And Susanoo swung his ten-fist sword at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, three identical lightning dragons appeared, and they surrounded and attacked the lightning phoenix head.
At the same time, Susanoo’s divinity content had dropped by a large margin.
In reality, the powerful attack of the lightning dragon was just a disguise.
Susanoo’s real purpose was to let the lightning dragon attack Natsuba Hanae’s main body, so that he could activate the true power of his divine artifact, the ten-fist sword.
The ten-fist sword was a divine artifact Susanoo had carried since birth.
But in his long perception, Susanoo had already completely understood that the real main body material of the ten-fist sword was actually a branch condensed from the mother tree.
It was precisely the branch that had given birth to Susanoo.
Since the nascent gods were born from the mother tree, then the ten-fist sword, which was originally a part of the mother tree, could not be overstated to be called the sword of the gods.
Although its essence was very similar to Susanoo’s…
But it also carried a part of the mother tree’s nature.
So, Susanoo could use the ten-fist sword to glimpse some of the mother tree’s power, and its form of operation.
And to construct his own great sun diagram.
But at the same time, the ten-fist sword, which carried a part of the mother tree’s nature, also made Susanoo’s lightning divinity not completely pure, so Susanoo had been unwilling to use the ten-fist sword before.
Because this would cause an irreversible crack in his pure great sun diagram.
At the same time, Natsuba Hanae saw these three lightning dragons coming at her, and she also sensed the divinity Susanoo had consumed because of this.
And Natsuba Hanae’s brow couldn’t help but furrow slightly. Natsuba Hanae murmured softly,
“Strange.”
It was indeed very strange.
These three lightning dragons, their power was said to be terrifying, but under the sniper of the lightning phoenix head, they were not a big threat.
Most importantly, Susanoo had consumed a lot of his divinity because he had released these three lightning dragons. For Susanoo, who didn’t have much divinity to begin with, this was undoubtedly bad news.
After all, if they were in a protracted battle, Natsuba Hanae, who now possessed such a vast divinity, would surely win.
Not only that…
So what if the lightning dragon hit Natsuba Hanae? Although Natsuba Hanae didn’t want to be injured and thus feel pain…
But this did not mean Natsuba Hanae was afraid of pain.
Even if the lightning dragon seriously injured Natsuba Hanae, she could also recover through her immortality.
Susanoo’s current actions were simply no different from self-harming his divinity.
But would Susanoo be so stupid?
Moreover, Susanoo had also used his divine artifact, the ten-fist sword.
Could it be…
There was something strange about the lightning dragon’s attack.
Thinking of this, to be on the safe side, Natsuba Hanae willed it slightly.
On Natsuba Hanae’s back, the wings of azure spiritual power and the wings of a green storm slowly spread.
And with the lightning phoenix head charging at one of the lightning dragons, its sharp and piercing cry, mixed with a wisp of a lightning arc, echoed endlessly.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
As if calling out to friends, after this one bright cry, two more cries echoed in response, and communicated with it.
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
On Natsuba Hanae’s back, the soul phoenix head and the fierce wind phoenix head emerged from it and fiercely attacked the other two lightning dragons.
Although the lightning dragon’s body was massive…
But in front of the phoenix heads, it was like a surging river meeting a torrent of the ages, unstoppable, and irresistible.
Under a frontal impact…
The lightning dragons all transformed into golden lightning arc light points and scattered all over the sky.
Seeing this, Susanoo narrowed his eyes. A thoughtful look appeared in his pure gold pupils.
And Susanoo said,
“I see. So this is your nine peak god divinities converging into a divine ocean. No wonder you have such a vast divinity.”
“Each kind of power has actually been condensed into an existence like a peak god, and can store its own divinity…”
“What a powerful ability.”
“Is this the ability you derived after advancing to a peak god?”
“But it’s still messy and not refined.”
“If you had focused all the time you spent cultivating so many powers on one power, perhaps you would have long since glimpsed the level above a peak god.”
Then, Susanoo shook his head again.
“It’s useless for me to say these things to you.”
“Anyway, you’re also a dying person.”
Hearing this, Natsuba Hanae’s pupils constricted slightly, and she looked around.
And Susanoo’s next words then slowly came.
“You’ve already entered the ten-fist sword’s seal.”
“Your death is near!”
At this moment, Natsuba Hanae had no longer listened to Susanoo’s words, but all the scenes around her were reflected in her eyes. Her expression couldn’t help but become a little ugly.
Natsuba Hanae saw that the golden particles that had been scattered by the three phoenix heads defeating the lightning dragon, which should have dissipated, had not disappeared.
But were suspended in the air, motionless.
And they filled the area around Susanoo and Natsuba Hanae, and were wrapped in layers.
In an instant, Natsuba Hanae only felt that her own divinity flow had become dark. The three phoenix heads also seemed to be restrained and were constantly shrinking.
And they were retracted into Natsuba Hanae’s body.
The three phoenix heads were actually Natsuba Hanae’s pure divine creations. Because of the unique power of a peak god, they had been condensed into a biological form.
But their origin was still divinity.
Then Natsuba Hanae saw Susanoo flash, and a golden light appeared. He escaped this area and came to a distant place.
And Natsuba Hanae also wanted to retreat quickly.
However, Natsuba Hanae found that now, even her own self was almost frozen.
And Susanoo’s words then slowly came.
“It’s useless.”
“The effect of the ten-fist sword is activating. In the meantime, besides me, no one can move freely within it.”
Susanoo’s right palm was aimed at Natsuba Hanae, and he let out a low cry.
“Seal!”
Susanoo’s right palm fiercely clasped together.
In an instant, around Natsuba Hanae, all the golden particles dotted into a line, and the line became a strip, and one after another, like long snakes, they all surged towards Natsuba Hanae.
Natsuba Hanae wanted to disperse those things, but she found that her divinity was in a mess, and her figure also couldn’t move.
And Natsuba Hanae could only watch as those golden long strips formed one after another of sorrowful, intricate characters around her, and they rotated around her.
Then, suddenly, they were fiercely imprinted into Natsuba Hanae’s body.
Natsuba Hanae only saw countless golden markings, and they continuously appeared on her fair skin. At the same time, her divine connection was completely severed from her.
And Natsuba Hanae couldn’t feel a single bit of it.
This…
Was the effect of the ten-fist sword. It was indeed tyrannical enough.
And Susanoo, seeing this, his pure gold pupils also showed a hint of relief, and he let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s over.”
Crack—!
The great sun diagram between Susanoo’s brows continued to make a soft cracking sound. Susanoo couldn’t drag it on any longer.
This time, Susanoo would completely kill Natsuba Hanae.
And Susanoo, in a flash, came before Natsuba Hanae.
And Susanoo raised the ten-fist sword in his hand. The ten-fist sword was filled with his boiling lightning divinity, and it was sharp and powerful.
Susanoo’s pure gold pupils were filled with an indifferent emotion.
“Even a peak god, but without divinity, is just a lamb that can be slaughtered at will.”
“To have forced me to use the ten-fist sword and damage the great sun diagram, you can also die with pride.”
“Then let’s end it here!”
A hint of a cruel color appeared in Susanoo’s eyes.
And Susanoo raised his two hands and held the ten-fist sword, and he slashed at the center of Natsuba Hanae’s head, preparing to split her in two.
And with Natsuba Hanae’s divinity sealed, the effect of her immortality would also completely disappear. The winner of this battle was still Susanoo. And from now on, when his great sun diagram was complete…
And Susanoo advanced to a level above a peak god, he would always be victorious.
And no one could stop Susanoo!
In this era where the gods were once again reviving, Susanoo was the strongest god!
However, just then…
A dense and extreme ominous aura rose from Natsuba Hanae’s right arm, and her entire being seemed to vanish into the darkness.
And on Natsuba Hanae’s back, a small wing, half black and half white, slowly spread.
An incomparably terrifying black mist coiled and filled Natsuba Hanae’s entire body.
And with a fierce punch, it slammed at Susanoo.
“Boom——————————!”
Susanoo suffered an unprecedentedly great force, and like a falling meteor, he frantically fell to the ground.
At the same time, a wisp of Natsuba Hanae’s black aura flashed in Susanoo’s mind for a moment.
That was…
—The aura of Tsukuyomi?!!
…
I’m sad this is almost the end. It feels like this could keep going for at least another couple hundred chapters.
