Chapter 677 Planet Upgrade
"Watch out, everyone!!"

"The Yamata no Orochi has headed towards the planet—"

In the vast expanse of space, KYG relayed the battle situation back in real time via the 'network god' GuiGui:
This includes the scene where Orochi battles the four gods of Takamagahara, is then ambushed and severely injured by Susanoo, and then turns and heads towards the planet.

Ah!
Should we be careful?
How much more careful can you be!
The whole world was stunned by this.

They're not KYGs, they can't just kick their feet and fly into space. Now, even if they wanted to run, they have nowhere to run!
If that Yamata no Orochi were to launch another 'global annihilation', how many people would be left on this planet? Perhaps only a handful of places with powerful figures like Tokyo, Haiguo, and Cairo would be spared.

That being said, let’s eat first.

Many people calmly picked up their cola or coffee and slowly drank it, then sat and waited for death to come.

Since it's no longer something that effort, willpower, or anything else can change.

Then let's just wait quietly.
"They fought back again?"

Even Yagyu Onoda, the contemporary 'sword saint', couldn't help but frown.
His sword, though capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers, was still too weak against these gods and demons, no different from a toothpick: its greatest success would be to trim their nails.

"Phew, it's our turn to fight!"

Having recovered from the weakness of having his strength forcibly stripped away, Kafka stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Don't be reckless. What can you do with your current strength?"

Beside him, Ibaraki-dōji, with his long sleeves fluttering, glanced at Kafka.

Since he was stripped of his powers, Kafka's strength has dropped to the Tiger level: that's right, Kafka has been fighting everywhere and teaching other superhuman officers in recent years, and his physical strength has unknowingly increased to the Tiger level. Even without Ibaraki, he is still a pretty good superhuman.

However, it was merely 'not bad'!
Even if those gods and demons didn't fight back, just standing there and letting him hit them, the force of the recoil alone would kill him.

"So we're just going to do nothing?"

Kafka's question was met with Ibaraki-dōji's indifferent expression.

What does it matter to him what happens to other humans?

That is, this former host,

She's passable enough to catch his eye.

"Hah~~ hiccup, don't panic~~"

A drunken voice sounded from behind, causing Ibaraki to instinctively turn around:
"My dearest friend!"

They came.

It's a female demon version of Shuten-dōji with 'moving mosaic';

Beneath the haphazardly draped purple robe was an undergarment weighing less than two ounces.

"The Yamata no Orochi won't... hiccup, it won't waste its power on... hiccup, destruction, it—"

Looking up at the sky, eight beams of light fell from the universe.

"I still deeply love this world."

Whoosh———————— Whoosh———————— Whoosh————————

Beams of light, reaching from the sky to the earth, fell down, illuminating the star completely, whether it was the side illuminated by sunlight or the other side in darkness: amidst the gazes of countless people around the world who were looking up to await their deaths, these eight beams of light, each ten thousand meters in diameter, fell straight down onto the planet.

?

? ?
???

However, when the light faded, there was neither a spectacular explosion nor anyone being wiped out.

It was as if a truly gentle light was shining on the earth?

No, it's not that simple!
In an instant, countless people were horrified to discover that they were rapidly 'shrinking'.

Everything around us—trees, buildings, billboards, roadside trash cans; computers and televisions in front of us—everything was constantly growing larger!

Apart from the clothes on my body and the phone in my hand, everything in my eyes seemed to rise, widen, and lengthen.

The adult's line of sight quickly narrows to the child's height, and then continues to shrink:
The tables, chairs, and benches have all become enormous!
Shock, panic, and bewilderment.
"what happened?"

"Could it be that the demon god wants to turn us all into rats?"

"How despicable! Killing us wasn't enough, they have to humiliate humanity like this—"

As everything around them expanded rapidly, only 'humans' were excluded, and countless people were filled with grief and indignation: in their eyes, the demon god named 'Yamata no Orochi' was punishing humanity in this way: to knock the supreme spirit of all things down to dust and turn it into an ant!
is it necessary? !
In this extraordinary era, the true rulers are already those with extraordinary power.
Ordinary people not only did not enjoy any 'dividends of the times,' but also had to live in fear, and even so, they could die from various aftereffects.

They're already miserable and desperate enough. Do you really want to physically reduce them to 'ants' before you feel better?

No matter how unwilling I am, there is nothing I can do.

"Hahahaha~~~ Come on, come on!"

"So what if they're ants?"

I'm not afraid of you—

"Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve. Use them all, Demon God!!"

In an instant, countless desperate people looked up to the sky and cursed angrily: If we are not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?

"Ok?"

I stood up and looked out the window.

Xinmei's gaze swept past 'New Bunkyo Ward',
It went straight through Shinjuku, Nakano, and Suginami wards, and landed in Mitaka City, outside of Tokyo.

There, towering buildings kept expanding, and the streets and billboards seemed to be growing larger everywhere except Tokyo.

If you look down from the sky, you'll see that Tokyo, which used to be full of skyscrapers, is now surrounded by rings of even taller buildings: except these buildings are detached houses that are a dozen meters high, overpasses that are tens of meters high, and office buildings that are hundreds of meters high!
The 'Mount Fuji' that can be seen in the distance truly pierces the clouds, expanding to a height of 10,000 meters!

"Is this the power of that 'Yamata no Orochi'?"

The view outside the window made Xinmei seem lost in thought;
"Yes, it seems so."

One hand on the desk,

Yu, who was quietly channeling chakra downwards, calmly replied.

"That great demon seems to be preparing to use its power to restore this world to its mythical state?"

In reality, he himself was using the Otsutsuki power!

Although the Otsutsuki clan doesn't have the concept of 'ninjutsu', it doesn't mean they lack techniques: various abilities derived from their bloodline grant them divine techniques that transcend the five elements. However, the Otsutsuki clan themselves consider these to be merely 'normal' abilities.

Viguni

The ability that Yu is using is a technique called 'Sukuna Higuna'.

The effect is to shrink or enlarge an object, or even yourself; attacks can also be scaled, but cannot be applied to others.

In the mythology of the island nation, when the lord of the great kingdom killed his eighty-eight brothers and began to fight for the rule of the land, he went out for a walk one day and encountered a god the size of a thumb who floated in on the Rama the God of Heaven (a boat made of potato leaves) and was wearing a moth skin coat. No one around him knew his origin.

His true identity was later revealed by Hisahito, who was actually the son of Kamisumi-no-Sun God, a manifestation of Takamagahara.

The Ōkuninushi became sworn brothers with this god who was no taller than a thumb, and together they conquered the kingdom of 'Kunizukami': after the kingdom was settled, the young Higana left to play in the land of immortality.

Otherwise, during the great war between Kunitsu and Amatsu, this strategist of Kunitsu would likely have participated. —No, it should be said that it was precisely because Kamisumu-no-Sun God knew of the future great war that she had her youngest son avoid it early on. Now, Yu is using this ability to magnify the planet beneath his feet!

In the anime Holy Grail War from my previous life, there was a berserker with the ability that 'knights never die unarmed,' able to assimilate any object he grabbed with both hands into a weapon.

He's been touted by power-hungry enthusiasts as an invincible figure who can "grab planets upside down": but that's just a joke. It would take him ages to assimilate a fighter jet, let alone a building—he'd probably die of exhaustion on the spot. But Yu's current power is truly capable of influencing planets!
Although doing so consumes astronomical amounts of chakra.

almost
Under the influence of Yu's Otsutsuki Jutsu, the planet beneath his feet had expanded several times over: its volume had increased significantly, but its essence remained unchanged.

Neither the planet's gravity, atmosphere, nor the 'planetary energy' it contains will increase as a result.

For the Otsutsuki clan, this ability is practically useless.

But that's enough to strengthen the planet.

"KYG, this..."

"Yes, it's magnificent—"

While the whole world was gripped by panic, only one person knew what had happened.

That is KYG, who is flying back to his planet: In his eyes, the planet he lives on is expanding out of thin air like a balloon!

Three times, five times.
"Everyone watching the live stream!"

As the planet expands, everything inanimate is magnified proportionally.

This is why mountains and rivers, skyscrapers, and even internet signals remain unchanged, leading countless people to mistakenly believe that only humans have been shrunk.

"Calm down, you are not affected."

KYG's voice rang out from the enormous televisions, computers, billboards, and cell phones.

“You are not being shrunk; rather, the whole world is being magnified.”

Through the internet, KYG naturally "saw" countless people cursing in despair. To prevent these guys from doing anything unwise, KYG spread the truth to the world through live streaming.

"Yes, you heard it right."

"I was in space and I clearly observed the changes in the planet."

“The artificial satellites and other spacecraft of various countries can also serve as evidence—don’t panic, this should be the power of the Yamata no Orochi.”

As for why Yamata no Orochi made this planet so huge, or whether this is what the world was originally like?
That world, before it was shattered, was able to withstand the 'war of gods'!

"No abnormalities,"

After repeatedly sensing with his eyes closed, Xiao became certain.
“If we are the ones who are distorted, then it is impossible for there to be no spiritual energy fluctuations.”

On the battlefield hundreds of kilometers from Osaka, a giant beam of light fell into the sea ahead, causing all the experts to be on high alert.

At the same time, as the 'world' before their eyes continued to expand, coupled with the giant plants around them, it seemed as if they themselves had been shrunk down. Many extraordinary masters stood on a huge piece of broken wood, each mobilizing their spiritual power to examine themselves.

It can be confirmed that their bodies were not affected by any abnormal spiritual energy.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the power of that Yamata no Orochi was too strong, so strong that even they, as demon-level beings, could not detect it.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble ——————

Just then, a thin but dazzling red line began to expand in the sky.

Where the red line passed, it instantly transformed into a burning cloud of fire, roaring and churning wildly, spreading in all directions with a magnificent and boundless heat that turned the sky crimson.

That's KYG, who arrived late!

As its physical body entered the atmosphere, without any attempt to brake, it plummeted faster and faster, even generating a shockwave of ionized energy.

Even though the 'Network God' Gui Gui expended a lot of divine power to help him recover, it seemed like it was getting too late.
"rise,"

Just as the colossal shockwave, like a tidal wave falling from the sky, was about to land, a certain elegant and refined Onmyoji pointed with his folding fan.

Covering everyone's vision, layers upon layers of semi-transparent barriers shot into the sky, like an overturned giant bowl blocking the blurry impact.

The next moment, the impact and the barrier collided violently!
Click click click click click click!
The entire sky suddenly turned into a chaotic mess, and a continuous series of explosions echoed across the horizon.

The invisible Yin-Yang magic barrier collided with the tangible impact, constantly exploding, spreading, and disappearing.
Bang————

With this buffer, the figure fell down, breaking a few large trees but causing no damage.

"Hahaha, sorry."

Leaping out from below, KYG, dressed as a Kamen Rider, gave an awkward smile.

"I didn't expect the planet's gravity to be so strong; I almost fell to my death."

His situation was like riding a bicycle downhill without applying the brakes; the accumulated speed made it impossible to stop.

"You idiot, you rushed back in such a hurry, you almost lost your life!"

Gui Gui popped out of the live streaming equipment, hands on hips, and scolded.

"Having learned this lesson, I won't do it again."

What KYG said is true. With his experience as a cautionary tale, any future superhumans flying into space will be more careful about planetary gravity; otherwise, they might accidentally collide with a planet.

Not only would he be half-dead from the fall, but the damage he would cause would be no less than that of a full-force attack.

“Is this the end?”

The battle actually took place in outer space.
Moreover, in the end, the 'Yamata no Orochi' actually used its power to expand the planet several times over.

As expected of a god or demon?

"What if another enemy comes?"

Before KYG could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

"filial piety---"

???

As everyone looked closely, they saw a figure stagger out as the giant light that had descended from the sky gradually faded.

"Nine Void Shaking Love?"

This guy is still alive?
Many Ghost-level experts were astonished; what kind of "King of Endurance" was this?
However, her condition was far from good; her entire body was covered in cracks. She staggered forward, fragments constantly falling from her small face, and there was no blood left. As a 'sacrifice' for the resurrection of Orochi, now that Orochi had integrated its power into the planet, her purpose was over.

"Xiao, come here!"

He raised his hand and stretched it out towards the figure wearing a black robe with red clouds and carrying a decapitation sword.

Holding her last breath, the stubborn Jiu Kong Yao Ai, refusing to give up, finally uttered her willful demand—

"kill me!!"
