I rely on myself

Chapter 477 Ape God
Kusanagi Godou and the other two walked in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, perhaps a few minutes, or perhaps dozens of minutes. In any case, he had completely lost the concept of time and could only continue walking in silence.

"Godou-san!"

Suddenly, Wanli Gu Yuri behind him said, "Do you feel it? We seem to have arrived in the netherworld. The ancestral hall we walked into before is probably some kind of medium or passage."

Upon hearing this, Kusanagi Godou suddenly realized something and began to feel carefully. Soon he indeed felt the same feeling as when he fell into the underworld before. It was obvious that Yuri's guess was not wrong.

“That’s right. How can a place that seals gods be so simple? If it’s in the underworld, then it’s easy to understand… But in that case, Yuri and Hikaru, are you feeling any discomfort?”

No matter who you are, even a godslayer, you need some time to adapt when you first enter the realm of life and immortality, the Netherworld. Kusanagi Godou had this experience before, so he asked this question.

Unexpectedly, Yuri shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, we don't feel any discomfort. It's probably because this kind of thing was anticipated when this passage was built, so this passage has the ability to help those who pass through it adapt to the environment of the Netherworld."

Hearing this, Kusanagi Godou finally put aside his worried expression, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "But, if this is the Netherworld, can't we use something like that, teleport? In this way, can we really trap the Monkey King? Won't he just leave here and go to some other place?"

"If that's the case, don't worry." Yuri responded to Kusanagi Godou's question calmly, "I've already tried teleportation, but it didn't work. I guess it's because this place is tampered with. This place is isolated from other places in the underworld. This cage was specially made to imprison the God."

After listening to Yuri's explanation, Kusanagi Godou completely understood the situation here and was completely relieved.

The three of them continued walking for who knows how many minutes, but finally reached the end, and saw a cave suddenly appear in front of them, and a bright light shining from it.

Looking at the dazzling light, the three of them realized that they had reached the end of this passage, and they immediately quickened their pace, wanting to leave this dark space as soon as possible.

After quickly walking out of the cave, the three of them adjusted to the sunlight outside before they could see clearly where they were.

A shabby little house with no one living in it, probably a stable, just like the one we had just seen at Toshogu Shrine.

Outside, the sun is shining and the blue sky is refreshing.

A very magnificent building can be seen in the distance. It is a huge house... no, or should it be called a castle or a palace. It does not look like a Japanese-style building, but a Chinese-style palace similar to the Forbidden City. This is the stable within the palace territory.

Just when Kusanagi Godou was paying attention to what the palace in the distance was, Wanli Tani Hikaru suddenly shouted, "Look, there's a monkey over there!"

Following the direction of the light, everyone saw a monkey lying on the hay, probably basking in the sun.

The monkey had bright golden fur that was almost orange in color and was about eighty centimeters long.

Looking at the posture of the monkey, Kusanagi Godou was certain that the other party was undoubtedly the God of Disobedience. The evidence was his body that involuntarily entered a fighting posture. This was the best proof.

But unlike Kusanagi Godou who subconsciously entered into a fighting stance, the monkey's attitude after realizing that someone was coming seemed a little too lazy.

"Oh my! I didn't expect that someone would come after such a long time, and among them is the God Slayer." Realizing the arrival of guests, the monkey also stood up to greet them, just like a naughty human child getting up, and jumped down from the haystack.

Kusanagi Godou was no longer surprised that the monkey could talk, so he asked calmly, "Are you the Monkey God?"

"Ah! That's what the guys who locked me up here called me. I should have a more impressive name, but unfortunately I'm sealed now, so it's okay for you to call me by this name."

This monkey had an unusually cheerful personality. Even when he talked about the fact that he was locked up here and the people who locked him up, there was no embarrassment on his face. He seemed unusually free and easy, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

Kusanagi Godou felt more or less uncomfortable with this attitude. At the same time, he also noticed another characteristic of this monkey, which was his eyes.

The scarlet whites of the eyes are like burning flames, with a flawless golden pupil in the middle like an elixir, which looks extremely mysterious. It is precisely because of this pair of mysterious eyes that no one who sees this monkey will think that he is a simple existence.

Although he realized this, Kusanagi Godou already knew that the other party was the God of Disobedience, so it was nothing if he had some extraordinary qualities. He quickly put it aside and spoke instead.

"Actually, this is the case. This little girl was wondering whether she should be your miko, so I brought her here to take a look."

As he spoke, he pushed Wanli Gu Guang out to signal him.

Hearing this, the monkey looked at the light curiously for a few times, and then replied: "Is that so? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that there really hasn't been any witches coming to play with me during this period of time."

"Play with you?"

"Yes, it's the shrine maiden who plays with me. Sometimes we chat, sometimes we play hide-and-seek or shogoku. I like to make it lively. If you can sing and dance, my evaluation will be even higher."

It was quite unexpected. Kusanagi Godou thought that as a shrine maiden, she would have an important responsibility, but in the end, she was just playing with him. Guang, who was standing next to him, seemed to be incredulous about this result and opened her mouth to confirm.

"Well, is it enough for me to just play with Lord God? I thought it was a very important mission that I had to carry out, so I was very confused..."

"How can you say that? You not only play with me, but you also help me groom my fur... In contrast to you, you are the ones who ask me to do troublesome things all day long."

"We? Are you talking about the witches from before?"

"Yes, like asking me to chase that snake, or expel a dragon, and then crying in front of me, forcing me to leave here and riot like before, it's so troublesome."

As if to prove his words, the monkey showed an expression of extreme disgust on his face.
