I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 673 The Evil Susanoo, I, this old man, will now…

"Ha~~"

Faced with the condescending words of the Yamata no Orochi, a soft laugh came from beneath the thin veil of the six-armed, merciful goddess.

“If it were during a period of perfect victory, what you said would not be untrue.”

However, the current Yamata no Orochi is only barely escaping from the underworld by using the remaining bones as a bridge.

How much of his power can he unleash after taking over the body of a human girl?

"You may wish to give it a try,"

Since this 'Yamata no Orochi' answered in this way, then of course it is:

Just give it a try!
Rumble, rumble, rumble! ! ! !
From the giant tree beneath the goddess, countless roots suddenly shot out: each of these roots was tens of meters in diameter and hundreds or even thousands of meters long; they were like aircraft carriers lined up end to end, roaring towards the sky.

The roots are not only enormous, but they also grow extremely fast;

At the tips of the roots, cone-shaped white air bursts out downwards, proof that the speed exceeds ten times the speed of sound!

With the size of these roots and such terrifying speed, a mere sweep across them would be earth-shattering: a terrifying attack that would make even dragons tremble in fear.

"Boring,"

Faced with this attack that could severely injure a dragon-level opponent, Orochi didn't even bother to glance at it.

Click, click, click————

At ten times the speed of sound, the distance these roots traverse across the battlefield can only be measured in milliseconds.

The next moment, the countless giant roots that shot into the sky seemed to have crashed into an invisible barrier, and they all burst open, with fragments falling like rain!

With the Yamata no Orochi as the center, no one can advance an inch within a hundred meters.

Shinra Tianzheng
These 'advanced skills' can only be practiced personally, so someone naturally didn't hold back and used whatever abilities they had.

In any case, whether it's a god or a great demon, what abilities they possess is entirely up to Yu himself.

"You think you can hurt me with just some weeds and vines?"

Slowly raising its hand, the Yamata no Orochi pressed down on the 'Inari God' from mid-air.

Brush, brush, brush, brush, brush~~
Without the goddess making any move, the giant tree beneath her sensed something; its massive roots automatically formed layers upon layers in front of her, instantly protecting the 'Inari Goddess'.

boom------! !

Just as countless roots formed a spherical barrier, a giant palm print suddenly appeared out of thin air, and canyon-like cracks spread out in all directions, with huge fragments falling off like mountains.

However, the roots of the giant tree 'Jianmu' were endless, surging forward one after another, entwining and spreading, and immediately repairing the damage caused by this invisible attack.

Shinra Tensei: Tathagata Palm Edition

The two beings merely tested each other slightly, yet from a human perspective, this instantly created an astonishing planetary spectacle!

The 10,000-meter-high 'Jianmu' tree forms a sphere, surpassing any other peak in the world;
Its altitude has already pierced directly into the clouds.

The fallen fragments alone transformed into wooden 'mountains'. Under normal circumstances, the island nation's government would have been drooling with excitement: this is sacred wood personally created by the Inari god! Even a small piece is a true treasure.

But now, all they have left in their hearts is constant prayer:
If Inari God loses, how could he possibly have such a rebellious thought?!
Inari will never lose! Even if the opponent is Yamata no Orochi!! Only by constantly hypnotizing themselves like this can these people have the courage to continue 'watching'.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Invisible attacks rained down, crushing, piercing, and shattering countless vines, leaving behind giant palm prints.

"You think you're so confident in front of me, acting like a coward?"

Countless roots intertwined to form a sphere, completely protecting the Inari god. This sphere, with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters, can be described as a 'super, super, super giant sphere'. These woody roots, whose hardness surpasses that of any other material on this planet, kept the 'Yamata no Orochi's' attacks at bay, prompting the great demon to utter sarcastic remarks.

"What courage is there in the bones of a tomb?"

From within the colossal, ten-thousand-meter-long vine ball, came the retorting voice of the Inari God.

The next second, the sphere composed of countless vines opened up like flower petals, revealing blooming flowers and golden leaves.

as well as:

A 'Buddha' slowly rises!
Yes, this is indeed a statue of Buddha:

With a head full of fleshy growths, a bare chest and a large belly, angry eyes and thick eyebrows, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, one hand raised to the sky and the other supporting the ground, he was dressed as a Buddhist monk subduing demons.

This Buddha statue, though made of wood, radiates a golden light! It gives one the feeling of a diamond-like body, a crystal-like appearance, and indestructibility; while the Inari deity, shrunk to 'only' a few thousand meters tall, sits on the Buddha's shoulder.

"I am in charge of the bounty-gathering department, but I also have some knowledge of archery and swordsmanship."

The goddess of mercy raised her head, and the blood-red 'eye of God' in her eye sockets spun like a wheel, with six jet-black petals that seemed to hold all living beings in the world.

Endless golden light poured down—not from the out of thin air created by ordinary divine power, but first forming a layer of 'muscles' that wrapped around the Buddha's body, then ancient and magnificent golden armor that covered him, and finally a golden samurai sword and bow!
This level of capability is well-known not only in island nations but throughout the entire world.

Susanoo's Eye of God!

Ie, Hikaru, and Ōtengu have all demonstrated this many times.

However, at that time, what they created could only be considered 'incarnations of gods'.

And now, this Inari god himself is displaying it, which is the 'divine form' that is ten thousand meters high and indestructible!
A 'Susanoo-clad Buddha' of the Six Paths level!
"it is good!"

Facing this towering, imposing figure, the island nation behind him appeared 'petite and delicate,' a ten-thousand-meter-tall golden Buddha warrior who could easily step into Osaka in just a few steps; the Yamata no Orochi opened its eyes, its golden pupils contracting into slits.

How could He not recognize this posture?
"Your father, Susanoo, tricked and betrayed me!"

Amidst a voice filled with anger, resentment, and bitterness, the Yamata no Orochi, with its white-haired beauty's demeanor, suddenly swelled up.

"The mighty 'God of Destruction' dares not confront me? Today, I'll see!"

Ten meters, one hundred meters, one thousand meters, ten thousand meters!
"You Susanoo, what courage do you have?!"

boom------------

A colossal object tens of thousands of meters long crashed down, forcefully pushing aside immeasurable amounts of seawater, instantly creating a massive tsunami! Thousands of meters high waves spread outwards in layers, a truly terrifying disaster on a planetary scale.

Mountains—no, how could mere mountains possibly describe this colossal creature?

The highest mountain on this planet is only a little over 8,000 meters high; while this great demon with eight heads and eight tails is 10,000 meters tall!

When it raised its serpentine neck, its eight heads pierced through the clouds, reaching an altitude of 20,000 meters. At this height, KYG's live streaming equipment could not even capture its entire form; they could only see the serpentine body that soared into the sky, and the golden pupils high above.

Like eight suns shining brightly in the sky, it commands utter submission!

Forget about resisting, they couldn't even muster the thought of hatred: the gap was so vast that all that remained was powerlessness and despair.

Within Jiu Kong Yao Ai's body, which was being "stole" by someone, the power of the five elements circulated and yin and yang chased each other; unfortunately, it could not be endless and could only be used to practice skills.

"May all sentient beings have their desires fulfilled;"

"Today, I will follow my father's example and slay you, you demon!"

The Inari Goddess, seated atop the golden Buddha's shoulder, shone with dazzling, blood-red divine eyes. With a flick of her wrist, the golden Buddha warrior beneath her drew her sword and slashed! The massive blade, thousands of meters long, appeared slow but was actually incredibly fast, a true act of cleaving the heavens and earth, dividing the world. "Come and fight!"

Yamata no Orochi was a great demon born of nature.

Naturally, they were not afraid at all. The eight heads roared and pounced on the other side!

Before these two colossal beings—no, true 'gods and demons'—this planet was nothing more than a tiny 'water ball' or 'mud pellet,' trembling beneath their feet.

boom------------

Upon impact, a white, ring-shaped shockwave, a kilometer in diameter, swept outwards, hurtling towards the entire island nation.

"Such immense power...this is the true power of gods and demons!"

Holding a live-streaming device, KYG, dressed as a Kamen Rider, flew backward, dodging giant trees falling from the sky, while muttering to himself.

If it weren't for the Inari God creating a large number of giant plants, and if it weren't for the Yamata no Orochi's unwillingness to harm this planet, the aftershocks of the battle would have already devastated thousands of miles!

He is the person in this world who knows the most about everything. Through the mysterious channels of the internet, KYG not only knows that half of humanity was instantly wiped out by the Yamata no Orochi, but also knows that with the appearance of this "Inari God", plants all over the world are growing, spreading and becoming gigantic!

These plants may seem harmless at the moment, but given the fighting styles of 'Miko,' 'Hakuzosu,' and even 'Inari God,' they could instantly transform into an attack capable of annihilating everything!

It can be said that if these high-ranking gods and demons wanted to, annihilating humanity would be a matter of a single thought.

Where should humanity go from here?

Just as KYG couldn't help but drift off into thought, a folding fan gently tapped his shoulder.

? !
“Mr. KYG,”

"I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I need to speak frankly to the world. May I—"

A gentle, refined voice rang out, causing KYG, who had turned around abruptly, to have a complex look in his eyes beneath his helmet.

It was Abe no Seimei!

"Please say,"

KYG pointed his live-streaming equipment at the great Onmyoji.

He orchestrated the resurrection of Orochi and the summoning of Inari.

This eternally elegant Onmyoji seemed to have everything planned out; although he did not possess the earth-shattering power of those 'god-level' beings, he gave people an aura of unfathomable mystery and awe.

"Everyone in this world should know me."

The words of the Great Onmyoji resounded simultaneously around the world: for an Onmyoji who dominated an era, making others understand the meaning of his words was merely a 'minor skill' he had mastered at a young age; moreover, hundreds and thousands of translators from various countries were intently providing him with real-time subtitles.

"I won't say anything more."

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!
The aftershocks of the battle continued to reverberate from afar, where two gods and demons were casually unleashing their power.

If neither side had intentionally tried to control and mitigate the impact, the aftershocks of their battle alone would have been enough to build an underwater city for the entire island nation.

"The situation is urgent, and we ask for your help."

???

Upon hearing the words of the Great Yin-Yang Master, those who were watching TV, using computers, or sitting in front of billboards, as well as those who were trembling and holding their phones with tears streaming down their faces, were all stunned.

us?

Give a helping hand?
Great Onmyoji, are you joking?!
Without corresponding extraordinary power, a demon-level being could easily slaughter a city and destroy a country, and it would only be a matter of time before they destroyed human civilization.

Dragon-level creatures can manipulate terrain at will, and when enraged, their power sweeps across the globe, leaving no place for anyone to hide!
And god-level—

That Yamata no Orochi has already demonstrated it.

In the blink of an eye, half of humanity could be wiped out!

In the face of true gods and demons, ordinary people are not even ants, but merely dust.

In this situation, what help can they offer?

"Gentlemen, there is no need to belittle yourselves,"

The great Onmyoji remained calm and composed, as if he had everything under control at all times.

"You can also participate in the battle using your own strength."

? ? ! !
Tokyo,

In the Prime Minister's official residence,
Still reeling from the loss of Director Takeya, the cabinet ministers exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this.

What use are ordinary people? Even these extraordinary individuals are just sitting around waiting to die.
"Pray to Inari?"

The Minister of the Interior spoke with slight hesitation.
However, such matters do not require the intervention of a great Onmyoji!
Right now, everyone in Tokyo is praying to the sacred tree in the 'Shinju Ward';

They had received news that half the world's population had been wiped out; however, Tokyo, within the area illuminated by the sacred tree, was fortunate enough to escape this calamity.

It's safe to say that as this news spreads, millions of people in Tokyo will pray to Inari with the most fervent and devout devotion! As for other places, it would be too much to ask those who are deeply grieving to immediately offer their faith!

"I know you are all sad, angry, and resentful, so—"

"Hate as much as you want."

On the screens in front of countless people, the Great Onmyoji uttered astonishing words.

“But what you should hate is not the Yamata no Orochi, but the Kuku Yoa Ai.”

"Because she chose this path, the Yamata no Orochi is destined to return."

"It is because she constantly devoured the remains that the Yamata no Orochi has now descended into the world."

“Your relatives, friends, clansmen, and compatriots could have lived for several more years, decades, or even hundreds of years—but because of Jiu Kong Yao Ai, they vanished in an instant.”

Abe no Seimei's words are actually quite flawed; moreover, he also played a part in the return of Yamata no Orochi. But for the billions of grieving people around the world, is Yamata no Orochi hateful? Of course! But is their resentment meaningful? Absolutely not!
Even Abe no Seimei, who was 'difficult to distinguish between good and evil,' was despicable, yet he dared not and did not want to hate him.

So, as this great Onmyoji said:
"Nine Heavens Shake Love!"

"You'll die a horrible death—"

"Even in death, may you be torn to pieces and sent to the deepest hell!"

Billions of ordinary people who lost loved ones and friends cursed and vented their anger and helplessness through words.

This is not meaningless because:

The eight-headed serpent, which was engaged in fierce battle with the 'Susanoo Buddha,' suddenly turned its head, and a familiar girl's voice rang out from one of its heads:

"Abe no Seimei! I want you—"
