Chapter 158 Divisional Battle
this? !

The crowd behind them was stunned to see Master Zhixiong, who had rushed forward, and Lady Tanimura suddenly turn on each other.

Several people who instinctively wanted to rush over to help stopped abruptly halfway through.

"idiot--"

Kafka's half-cheek continued to open,
"Amaterasu's 'Eye of God' is said to see through everything,"

“There are no blind spots in front of him, and ganging up on him is completely meaningless.”

?

"Ibaraki-sama,"

"So, his field of vision is 360 degrees?"

Iori Kazuka, who was standing next to her, spoke up to confirm.
As the saying goes, "A true man can bend and stretch."

Besides, she's a woman. She can get information just by being respectful. That's a really good deal!

"That's exactly right,"

Ibaraki, who was controlling half of Kafka's face, explained with a serious expression:

"The Eye of God can see all things, perceive everything, and has no blind spots. Fortunately, it is only the 'first manifestation of bloodline' of the Eye of God; if it were complete, it could even pierce through time and space and see through the fates of others."

This is not just empty boasting.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Byakugan was hailed as the strongest in Konoha, but it didn't have any truly outstanding top-tier fighters.

Neji, the most talented member of the clan, died while shielding someone from a sword, making their slogan "The Byakugan is the strongest" seem somewhat ridiculous.

But then Kaguya appeared, and her Byakugan was earth-shattering! The 'Otsutsuki' characters of the Boruto era all made their debut, each displaying a Byakugan technique that astounded everyone: their extended Tenseigan could slice through the moon, and their Jōgan could see through spacetime beacons, among other things.
Even adult Sasuke with his six-tomoe Rinnegan would shake his head at it.

Simply put, the Byakugan is actually the standard feature of the 'Otsutsuki' clan: it's just that the Hyuga clan's thin bloodline prevents them from fully utilizing it.

Of course, the clone that Yu sent out was only at the level of a 'Jonin' from the Hyuga main family.

The dream of evolving into something like the 'Tensekai' is still a long way off.

You have to constantly accumulate experience in battle.
However, dealing with the current situation—

"Go back."

With both palms clapping forward...
The surging chakra instantly shattered the damaged 'Fudo Myoo statue' and 'Cerberus'.

This caused Master Shio and Tanimura Hoshino to cough up blood and fly backward, staggering after landing.

"My magic."

"What's going on? The power is waning?!"

Even more terrifying, the two were horrified to discover that their normally effortless magical and demonic powers had become obscure and heavy, as if they were blocked.
Snap, X2
Two hands landed on the shoulders of Master Shio and Hoshino Tanimura.
The next second, a violent surge of 'demonic power' rushed into his body, causing the two of them to cry out in pain and spit out another mouthful of blood.

"General Kafka?"

"No, it was Ibaraki who did it."

"This is another characteristic of the 'Eye of God',"

"Once you are hit by it, whether it is demonic power, spiritual power, or magical power, it will be sealed!"

How can someone be so shameless?

etc.
During the Yokosuka incident, the "Umi-Nari" unleashed the Yasakani no Magatama, which indeed rendered all the superhumans in the island nation immobile, causing their power to continuously drain away.

I see, it's connected now!

Many people suddenly realized what had happened, but they didn't know what they had imagined.

"Thank you,"

"Excuse me, Your Excellency."

The two stretched their bodies, and the 'sealed' power flowed freely again.

Although they were injured again due to the brutal methods used by 'Ibaraki' to unseal the seal, Master Shio and Hoshino Tanimura were not ungrateful and thanked him profusely.

As for why the originally hostile 'Ibaraki' suddenly helped them? That's because—

"There is only one demon king in this island nation, and that is my dearest friend, Shuten-dōji!"

Demon kings are naturally enemies.

In particular, Shuten-dōji's stronghold was located not far from Heian-kyō.

"Ah,"

For this,

The boy named 'Hyuga Toneri' scoffed.

"A bandit who rules the mountains dares to call himself a 'demon king'?"

"Mother's plans are beyond the comprehension of you little monsters—"

As he spoke, Hyuga Toneri pointed at Kafka/Ibaraki.

"If you know what's good for you, kneel down."

"I still need a mount servant, otherwise..."

dead.

Without him saying it, his indifferent gray-white eyes were filled with a haughty indifference.

"Hey, that's why I hate you 'divine offspring' the most!"

"Humanity,"

"You're not going to kneel down and beg for mercy just because the other party is a descendant of Amaterasu, are you?"

Faced with an unexpected enemy, Kafka was forced to compromise with the 'Ibaraki' within him; clearly, they now had a common enemy.

"No,"

"Whether it's a god or a demon, I will fight for the weak!"

"very good!"

"If you were a demon, I'd like to have a drink with you. Now."

Purple 'demon power' burned fiercely on Kafka's left hand, enveloping his left arm like flames: this was his way of 'giving up' his left hand and handing it over to 'Ibaraki' for control.

"Let's meet this wretched descendant of the gods!"

call out----

A burst of purple light erupted.

It tore the earth in a straight line, and the soil and gravel were violently pushed to both sides.

Having reached an agreement, Ibaraki and Kafka, like sailfish cutting through the waves, charged towards 'Hyuga Toneri'.

"A grain of rice's light,"

With a chakra-infused hand, it reached forward and precisely intercepted Ibaraki's fist.

"You dare to rival the blazing sun?"

With these casual words, the battle between the two top experts officially began!

"This person is actually a member of the royal bloodline from a thousand years ago?"

"The Great Sun, the Noble God, the Great Sun, the Noble God."

"A divine eye! A divine eye!"

In the command center of Gojo City, a group of high-ranking officials from the archipelago nation seemed to be suffering from dementia, muttering to themselves and looking so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

That's obvious. Suddenly, the bloodline of their own 'chief god' descends—who wouldn't be confused? Regardless of how Tamamo-no-Mae obtained the divine bloodline from Emperor Toba a thousand years ago, the problem facing everyone now is: the 'eye' representing Amaterasu's bloodline is on the opposing side, and they—

"What did the Imperial Household Agency say?"

It was Director Zhu Ya, who had "seen the world," who was the first to react and asked her secretary.

Imperial Household Agency

The Imperial Household Agency of Japan is a government agency responsible for handling the affairs of the Imperial Family. It manages the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Family, ensuring the smooth operation of the family's daily activities and coordinating and executing various tasks and activities related to the Imperial Family. Simply put, it's the Emperor's family's 'caretaker'.

Well, that's right.

The royal family of an island nation has no power, at least not now.

The emperor of the island nation is said to be of 'unbroken lineage for ten thousand generations,' and indeed, this has continued for more than two thousand years.

From the mythological era to the present, although there have been many periods of chaos, it has never been interrupted: at least that's what the official narrative says.

If the emperor is strong, then the subjects will behave themselves; if the emperor is weak, then it is not uncommon for him to bring a sword into the palace or enter the inner palace alone.

Most powerful ministers would marry into the Emperor's family, thus placing their own bloodline on the throne.

As for going to sit there in person?

No one would argue about that, because the royal family are descendants of Amaterasu, who is both a god and a human, and is the center of the entire island nation's faith. Anyone who wanted to do that would truly be "defying the world's will," something that even those close to them would vehemently oppose.

Besides, what's the point of being a mascot in the palace?
Regent, Chief of Staff; General of the Expedition.
Once you sit in these positions that govern the entire world, what difference is there between power and being an 'emperor'?
As for the 'Emperor', let him be a symbol.

Even the 'Emperor's Pardon' is nothing more than a tool for the powerful and wealthy to escape punishment.

"The Imperial Household Agency reports that there are no abnormalities."

What does it mean to have no abnormalities?

Director Zhuya was furious. "Now that Amaterasu's 'eye of God' has appeared, the Imperial Family hasn't made a single move. Could it be a fake?"

After World War II, the power of the island nation's royal family was completely usurped by the Americans and capitalists.

As an elite of the new era, Director Takeya naturally had no respect for the Imperial Family: he had previously served as the head of the Imperial Palace Police Headquarters (Imperial Palace Police Superintendent), and naturally knew that the family had no supernatural powers and were just 'ordinary people'.

Now that the extraordinary beings are all fighting each other to the death, the royal family is still just ordinary people?

Outrageous!

Impeach him and remove him from office immediately.
"Director, the situation on the battlefield has changed."

At the secretary's prompting, Director Zhu Ya looked up at the screen in the command center.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Pfft

"master?"

The long sword sliced ​​through the Onmyoji's robe, instantly slicing Igarashi Kaoru in half at the waist!
The next second, Kaoru Igarashi, who had been cut in half at the waist, turned into a tattered paper doll that fell to the ground; a few meters away, a long-haired boy clutching the wound on his waist looked at Umi-no-Shinobu with a surprised expression.

"The substitution technique was used well,"

The ruthless female ninja held a long sword in her right hand, and casually swung her three left hands:
Puff puff puff

Three shuriken were embedded in Isogai's forehead, throat, and heart.

Thump,

As the smoke rose, the paper figure struck by the shuriken fell to the ground, and the still-shaken girl appeared a few meters away.

"But this distance is too close for a master."

"If you want to live, give it your all!"

?

"Yes,"

"Master, please forgive me!" x2
Seeing that Hai Ren had effortlessly forced out the two's substitute techniques, and instead of attacking, she seemed to be letting them do as they pleased, the Igotani siblings perked up.

"Yin-Yang Technique: Water Wave".

With his hands forming a hand seal, the younger brother opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of water, which surged out and turned into a small river, surrounding the sea ninja from both sides.

Since their master was called 'Sea Ninja,' he naturally wouldn't fear naval battles, but his purpose in doing so was:

"Yin-Yang Technique: Thunder Serpent!"

After forming a hand seal, the older sister slammed her hands onto the stream of water in front of her.

crackling and popping

Lightning instantly filled the entire 'river', and under the control of the two, the sea ninja was surrounded from all directions.

Combination Technique: Gratitude Wave

"Not bad, this is interesting."

Letting the lightning dance across his body, Hai Ren raised his long sword and held it horizontally in front of him.

Using the controllability of Water Release to guide the unpredictable Lightning Release is indeed a good combination ninjutsu.

"Let me see if you have learned anything."

The battlefield where the sea ninja fought against the Isoya siblings—or rather, tested their skills—occupied a corner of the mountain: no one bothered them.

Leaving aside the island nation, this was a pre-arranged strategy: the Isoya siblings 'delaying' the sea ninja, which was one of the main reasons they dared to launch this operation.

If they were facing two powerful demons at the same time, the casualties would be heavy no matter how you look at it: but the Igoya siblings are Hai Ren's 'disciples', so if they were to step in, there is a high probability that Hai Ren would hold back - just like the current scene, where Hai Ren is 'fighting' while pointing out the weaknesses in the two's Yin-Yang techniques.

Although the Isogai siblings were 'covered in blood' after being slashed, they looked so energetic that it was clearly just a matter of flesh and blood!

It's practically a live teaching session!
As for the other party...
"Ha, you think you can deal with me?"

The remaining superhumans all surrounded the 'Blood Hakama'. While Kafka and Ibaraki were holding off the 'Eye of God' and the Isogai siblings were catching up with the sea ninja, the key to victory lay in dealing with the Blood Hakama!
"My demons, heed your master's call—"

As Xue Kuma raised his hand, a large number of demons that had been flying around the battlefield transformed into torrents that rushed towards the extraordinary team from the sky.

“Fight for me!”

Faced with these demonic creatures rushing towards them like a flood, the extraordinary individuals braced themselves:

"Be careful, it's coming!"

"It's nothing more than a mere demon."

Faced with this horde of demons, the people were not concerned: if they dared to come, weren't they all 'battle-hardened'?
The yokai and chimeras of Mount Koya were already commonplace to them: mere numbers were no longer a concern for them—?!

To the superhumans who were on high alert, these massive numbers of Biyakya began to shrink and merge as they charged. It was not a simple superposition like chimeras, but a more condensed, refined, and complex combination: each Biyakya was merely transformed into a bone, a muscle, and an inch of skin.

In the blink of an eye, a 'samurai' dressed in traditional island armor, wielding a long-handled naginata, covered in arrows and broken swords, and with a tattered demon mask on his face, was created.

There is also an Onmyoji dressed in a black and white kimono, with his skeletal hands tucked into his sleeves, wearing a tall, conical black hat, and whose body is nothing but bones;
Or perhaps a ninja dressed in black ninja attire, wearing a metal headband, and wielding a short sword. Beneath a mask, a withered face pressed against the skull.
“Every one of them here is a samurai, ninja, or onmyoji who has been devoured by my 'shikigami'.”

The blood-stained hakama floating in the air chuckled coldly.
"Now, I'll show you the power of these 'servants'."

Boom——

Amidst a towering sandstorm, a giant 'earthworm' burst forth from the ground.

This was a black monster shaped like a giant snake, with two rings of sharp teeth in its dark mouth, like an electric chainsaw, capable of tearing apart any prey. Several mummified ninjas wielding kusarigama, scythes, and short swords landed on this giant 'earthworm,' crushing down on the group from above.

Several 'skeleton Yin-Yang Masters' formed hand seals, their upper and lower jaws opening and closing repeatedly, seemingly chanting incantations.

Amidst the rippling water in the air, a shikigami wearing a yaksha mask and draped in a five-colored brocade, and a shikigami with an eagle-headed wolf god, long raven-like wings, and a katana in each of its thick arms, appeared out of thin air and pounced on the crowd.

"They're all of them."

Yagyu Isao gasped.
These 'Oni Warriors,' 'Corpse Ninjas,' and 'Skeleton Onmyoji' created from the fusion of demons—each one gave him a dangerous feeling, and they were all:

"Starting at the Wolf level!"

Iori Kazuka gritted her teeth and gave the answer.
"Gentlemen, prepare for battle!"

Fortunately, the attackers were all elites. Although the opponent consisted of more than thirty 'wolf-level' individuals, they were not insurmountable.

? !
A bone-chilling cold suddenly came from beside her, causing Iori Kazuka to instinctively dodge and tilt her head.

Tear

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal being cut, the high-tech power armor was torn apart, and the super SWAT officer inside was simultaneously sliced ​​open from the shoulder. Before he could even react, he was instantly killed by a 'Reverse Robe' move!

"you--?!!"

Ignoring the death of her colleague beside her, Iori Kazuka abruptly turned her head, and what came into view was:

The 'Yagyu Hara Shige' had an icy expression.
