At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 104 The Sea of ​​Life, the Beast of Return, Tiamat
"I can use elemental power now." Yae no Miko was surprised to feel the elemental power coming from the Eye of God. So this world has elemental power, but it needs to be connected to the 'World Tree' to use it.

At the same time, a wealth of knowledge about this world appeared in his mind. Looking at the books on the table, he could now understand the texts that he couldn't understand before.

"Fox God~ to become a god?" Yae no Miko's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and she covered her lips with her fingers, as if what happened to her wasn't so bad after all.

Although no one knows what happened, Shin, one of her two original masters who was supposed to have died, did not really die. He was brought to this world by the Tenri-sama from another world, and Shin will still be the god of this world.

She has a powerful backer in this world, and if she does well, she will be granted the opportunity to become a god by the laws of nature. A god, just like that introverted girl, a majestic god who rules the kingdom.

"I'm sorry, Shadow~ I don't want to go back now, although it's a bit cruel to leave you alone." Yae no Miko hadn't noticed that the fox tail she had hidden was swaying behind her.

If Kage knew that Shin hadn't actually perished, wouldn't he cry and make a scene, trying every possible way to get here? Judging from the mess Kage made of Inazuma, he'd probably abandon Inazuma and run over here.

But I'll definitely get a real dressing down when the time comes.

"I kind of want to see that kind of scene." Yae no Miko's pink fox ears twitched, and an aura of amusement naturally emanated from her.

Once she realized that her current situation wasn't so bad, Yae no Miko's feelings of loss and despair instantly turned into contentment.

"I just wonder when I'll be able to see the reborn Zhen again, sigh~"

"Master Yashinori, dinner is ready." Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka carried the lunch boxes into the dining hall. Although the dining hall was not large, it had everything you needed, and there was even a well next to the kitchen.

"Sniff sniff~" Yae no Miko subconsciously twitched her nose. The aroma of fried tofu was very strong. Realizing that her fox tail had been exposed, she quickly hid it and tidied her clothes.

Looking at the small table, there was still a pot of tea and a half-empty teacup. Looking at the cup that Lord Tianli had just given him, he picked it up with both hands and took a small sip.

Like the Celestial Tea from Liyue, which she had been invited to drink by a senior friend from Liyue, but it was nowhere near as rich and flavorful.

However, it seems that besides replenishing elemental energy, it doesn't have any special effect on me. It looks like it was deliberately left for me? Could there be something special about the teapot and teacup? (Actually, they were just made using Geo element.)
"I didn't realize that..." Yae no Miko examined the teapot and tea after collecting them in her divine eye.

Chitose Inaba and Touka Inaba entered the room, carefully placed the lunchbox on the table, and then opened the lunchbox to arrange the dishes.

The dishes were served in small plates, each serving a very small amount: miso soup, cherry rice balls, a small bowl of noodles, and a serving of tempura that could be finished in two bites. Together, they were just enough to fill the two petite girls. Yae Miko's serving included an extra large portion of fried tofu.

"Please have a meal, Your Excellency Yazae." Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka put their hands together, as only the gods they were worshipping ate first, and only then could they eat their share.

"Oh~ It looks good." Yae Miko picked up a piece of golden-brown fried tofu with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and the crispy outside and tender inside texture instantly brought a happy expression to her face.

Although it can't compare to the taste of the Narukami Taisha version, the texture is still quite good. For a homemade version to achieve this level, it would at least rank in the top 30 in her 500-year lifespan.

"Eat up, your stomachs are growling." Yae no Miko said to the two well-behaved and sensible girls.

"Yes! We are grateful for your grace." Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka happily ate their meal. Eating with the deity being worshipped was still too exciting for them, so they would occasionally glance cautiously at Yae no Miko.

Yae no Miko was used to it; every time a new shrine maiden came to Narukami Shrine, she was very cautious and careful around her, afraid of offending her.

"Your Highness, contact the shrine headquarters tomorrow. I need to convey the divine decree from the gods above," said Yae no Miko. Since Lord Tenri had entrusted her with protecting the people of this country, she was determined to do it perfectly.

Having just received elemental power, he was immediately presented with Lord Tenri's "Japanese Age of Gods Project," which aimed to allow the reborn Shin to directly govern the country.

She also knew the general situation of the country. Although they were managing the country quite well at present, she did not trust them, and she did not trust even the top management of Inazuma.

She was all too aware of the problems that would arise when a family head held a high position.

In the first generation, they would sincerely and diligently build the country. The second generation would follow the example of the first generation. The third generation would also do some practical things to some extent. But starting from the fourth generation, they would regard themselves as the masters of the country and treat the common people as domesticated livestock.

When those in power do this, their subordinates will follow suit.

Japan is currently doing a very good job of maintaining appearances. It doesn't directly show its true colors to ordinary people, but instead separates the upper and lower worlds. People in the lower world cannot access the upper world, so naturally they cannot see it.

News media, the economic lifeline, and the political system were all controlled by families and nobles, making it virtually impossible to break through class barriers.

Those who work in the catering industry go into the catering industry for generations, those who are officials go into the officialdom for generations, and those who are bankers go into the banker industry for generations. The occupational divisions are extremely closed and there is no exchange between them.

Because generations are confined to one industry, there is no shortage of industry elites, and various "rice masters" and "yakitori masters" often emerge.

The same applies to Shintoism in this country. Shrines are all family-owned private property, and the management of shrines throughout Japan is jointly established by the largest shrines and the national political system.

This is the 'Shrine Headquarters', which is managed by the high priests of the largest shrines and divides the shrines into five levels.

The highest level are the shrines dedicated to the national deity, such as Ise Grand Shrine, Meiji Grand Shrine, and Nikko Toshogu Shrine.

The second level is the "taisha" that enshrines the true forms of various high-level deities, such as Fushimi Inari Taisha.

The third level is the "main shrine" that worships various local deities. The main shrine is a large shrine that worships famous mountain gods, land gods, water gods, and river gods.

The fourth level consists of small shrines dedicated to the High Heaven God. They cannot enshrine the deity's physical form, but can only enshrine objects worn by the deity, such as headdresses or bells.

The fifth level consists of small shrines that enshrine local minor deities, such as Noragami.

Inaba Shrine is a small shrine at the fifth level, dedicated to the Heian fox god, who is unrelated to the Inari god.

These small shrines are everywhere in Japan, so they are just registered under the name of the 'Shrine Headquarters' and are completely marginalized and not noticed.

Therefore, even if the government wants to demolish a shrine or build a shopping mall, the central government will turn a blind eye, as long as it doesn't affect a shrine of level four or higher.

Because the families of shrines of level four or above are quite famous in the local area.

"It conveys the divine message from the gods in heaven." Chitose blinked. Wasn't this the divine message from Takamagaru, the god of thunder?

"Yes! I understand." Inaba Chitose nodded solemnly. Before she met the fox god, no one would have paid any attention to her in the main hall of the shrine. Now, she possessed the fox god's power and was a true shrine maiden.

Yae no Miko smiled and said, "From today onwards, the two of you are my familiars." She was secretly excited; taking on familiars was something only demon gods could do. If she did things well, she would become a god sooner or later, so taking on familiars early was a good idea.
She also wants to play the game of gods building a nation~

"Family?"

“It means becoming the closest priestess,” Yae no Miko said.

"My closest shrine maidens!" Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka's eyes sparkled, their hearts pounding. They were already overjoyed to become true shrine maidens, and the fox god meant for them to stay by his side forever!
……

Los Saint had now arrived at the coastline of Tokyo Bay. On the seabed of Tokyo Bay, ripples of space imperceptible to humans were spreading, covering an extremely large area, not to mention Tokyo Bay itself.

That means half of Tokyo's urban area is within the scope.

"The area affected by this fall is way too large. To delineate a restricted area, we'd have to include at least half of Tokyo." Los Saint glanced back at the bustling Tokyo skyline.

The Tokyo Bay coastal area is the economic zone of Tokyo, with all major ports located here. If this area were abandoned, the entire country's economy would be cut in half.

In addition, this country has a large population and little land, so economic collapse would trigger a great famine. In such a famine, the upper class would live well, but a large number of the lower class would certainly die.

“To combat human evil, the power of this nation alone is far from sufficient. It is necessary to gather the heroes who have grown up around the world.” Los Saint’s gaze swept across the spatial ripples in Tokyo Bay.

After a devastating war, the entire structure of the country was completely reshaped.

With the complete power of the lightning element and nourished by the World Tree, Raiden Shin will be able to be reborn before the evil of humanity descends. At that time, Raiden Shin will purge the entire country, killing those Celestial Dragons who deserve to die, and completely transforming Japan into Inazuma.

Raiden, who built a two-thousand-year-old nation from scratch, was not worried about governing the country.

hum-

At this moment, the grass element is spreading across the seabed, rapidly covering the entire seabed like a spider web, while the water element covers the grassland, forming a circular pattern that covers the entire Tokyo Bay.

Only the gods can see these things.

“Buyer actually broke off a branch of the World Tree to create a pseudo-ley line.” Los Saint nodded.

Using ley lines to unleash elemental power to impact all items that fall into this area, and even using pseudo-ley lines as seals to entangle human evil actions, it's just unknown how effective it will be.

Fucarus, on the other hand, used his power to weave a large net of 'slow water' in Tokyo Bay. When the target appeared in the net, the slow water quickly gathered and trapped the target.

"Let me see which human evil it is, so I can prepare myself mentally."

He activated his spatial powers to the fullest extent, sending a wisp of his will toward the dimensional passage that was emitting spatial ripples.

The spatial ripples were incredibly disruptive, and they also possessed an extremely dense and terrifying aura.

His thoughts crashed into the dimensional portal in an instant, and a terrifying aura enveloped him, creating immense resistance.

If the original dimensional portal was at rocket speed, then the current speed is only comparable to that of a baby carriage.

However, he soon saw what appeared in the dimensional portal.

It was a jet of pitch-black silt, each piece of which was enormous, larger than a skyscraper, and there was an immense amount of it.

The space in front of the dimensional portal looked like a white hole spewing matter.

"Black sludge? Could it be the evil of this world?" Luo Sheng's consciousness approached the dark sludge slightly, and was impacted by the enormous life force, causing his consciousness to weaken somewhat.

However, this life force was not a normal life force; instead, it was filled with sorrow and resentment, and carried the power of the rules of great authority.

"Full of sorrow and resentment, yet also teeming with life's silt? This is Tiamat!" Los Saint knew instantly where the black silt came from.

This is not 'silt', but 'saltwater' representing the earth's original form. After the world stabilized, the turbid earth elements gathered to form land, and the clear saltwater appeared to form the sea.

"Good! Tiamat is alright. Fortunately, it's not Goetia or the Alien God. Those two are truly helpless. Tiamat still has some options." Los Saint breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although Tiamat is 'human evil', she is a rather unique one among human evils.

Tiamat gave birth to the gods and all life in the Sea of ​​Life, and surrounded by life, she was filled with the joy of motherhood.

However, once the world's ecology is perfected, she becomes a burden on the world and the existing ecology, and therefore must be driven away.

Because if she continues to give birth to new life, the existing ecosystem will collapse, and the living space of existing life will be occupied and squeezed. She cannot control herself from giving birth to new life, which is her instinct as the Mother Goddess of Life. Therefore, she becomes the enemy of the existing ecosystem and life.

Although it is tragic, it is also inevitable that the Mother Goddess, who gave birth to all life, becomes the enemy of the life she gave birth to.

She was fully aware of this, and when she realized that she would inevitably become 'human evil', she accepted her fate of being banished and sealed herself away. Even at the last moment, she wanted to protect the lives she had created, even if they regarded her as their enemy.

In other words, even if she descends as evil, her self-sealing will allow her to only be beaten and unable to fight back. In fact, the stronger her evil side is, the stronger her self-sealing will be.

She wanted to be defeated.

Los Saint's mind leaped forward, and some of the dark sludge flying past him was flying in the opposite direction, a repulsion from the Earth's vast space.

However, as more and more 'silt' pours in, the Earth's vast space will eventually be unable to withstand the repulsion.

He needs to know where Tiamat is now.

The silt ahead was increasing, as if it were forming a small asteroid belt.

With so much 'silt' gushing out, the sea level will rise by at least one meter. If it weren't for the elemental power generated by the World Tree to counteract it, he dared not imagine how many coastal cities on Earth would be flooded.

A rise of even half a meter in sea level, let alone one meter, could submerge some island nations.

The pressure from ahead grew stronger, and this last vestige of will began to crumble.

But then she saw a blurry shadow ahead, a shadow that was enormous, over two hundred meters long, with two huge horns that snaked backward from its head, and pale blue and silver hair that enveloped its massive body, surrounded by swirling black silt.

Strange-looking monsters are being born in the mud.

These bizarre monsters are Rahmu, whom she, as a human, used to destroy human civilization.

These monsters are produced at an extremely fast rate, growing exponentially with the expansion of the 'Sea of ​​Life,' spreading to occupy an entire ocean within days, and the number of Rahmu will exceed 50 billion.

The number of Rahmu is equal to the number of humans.

This would be a crisis of extinction for human civilization. Without the help of gods and heroes, the chances of human civilization overcoming this crisis are less than one in a billion.

"what……"

Tiamat, amidst the swirling black mud, sensed the will of the gods, raised her head to look over, and uttered a soft, mournful voice, as if pleading with Los Santos, "Child, why did you abandon your mother?"

"..." Los Saint's thoughts were somewhat speechless. Tiamat's consciousness had been taken over by the instinct of 'human evil', and her self-awareness was completely shut down. These voices were all instincts of her body.

However, this was not a sound, but a thought that was similar to his current situation.

In dimensional channels devoid of time and space, only consciousness and intention can propagate; consciousness and intention are not bound by space and time.

Crack～bang!

Los Saint's will could not hold on any longer and shattered.

"Hoo~" Luo Sheng patted his forehead. What a terrifying aura! It was practically mental pollution. Even without launching an attack, the aura itself carried the 'anti-god special attack'.

"Did you just investigate the dimensional portal? Did you find out which human evil it was?"

Grass and water elements gathered around Los Santos, and Buyer and Fucaros stepped out.

Los Saint looked at Buyer: "We did find her, Tiamat. Luckily it wasn't Goetia, or we really wouldn't have won." "And... it doesn't necessarily have to be about killing her." Los Saint said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“The Sea of ​​Life is indeed a troublesome thing on Earth, but there are so many planets in the solar system…” Los Saint stopped there, and Buyer and Fucaros already understood what he meant.

“Huh…so that’s what you think?” Buyer exclaimed in surprise.

“Tiamat became evil to humanity simply because she was ruthlessly abandoned after creating all things as the Mother of Life. Wouldn’t it be enough to satisfy her joy of being a mother?” Los Saint shrugged.

Drop her onto the moon and let her create an ecosystem. Once the lunar ecosystem is complete, drop her onto Mars. Once Mars is ready, drop her onto Venus.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an ideal tool... cough cough cough, what an ideal Mother Earth!" Luo Sheng said excitedly, almost blurting out his true feelings.

"..." Buyer and Fucaros, you were just trying to say that you were a tool god, right? Fucaros is fine, but Buyer felt a bit resentful, as if she had been used as a tool god by Los Saint before.

Although she had been treated as a tool god before, Los Saint had indeed been very good to her, so she was happy to see it happen.

“But how do you awaken her self-awareness?” Bouyer asked.

Some carriers of human evil actively receive it and control it through their own will, while others are passive, with their self-awareness constantly fighting against their evil instincts. This leads to the continuous weakening of self-awareness, and eventually, the evil instincts of humanity gain the upper hand.

Tiamat is the second type. She didn't want to become human evil, but she was forced to become its vessel. Her self-awareness had long been suppressed by the evil instincts of humanity.

Goetia is the first type, actively accepting human evil and ruling the "Great Power of the Beasts" according to its own will.

This "power of beasts" is not the power related to wild animals, but rather the "power of human evil."

“This is indeed a troublesome matter… but it’s not impossible.” Luo Sheng sighed, arms crossed. If only he had consciousness and the power related to thought.

It seems that he can only make a decision after Tiamat falls out. He doesn't know if he can awaken Tiamat's self-awareness with 'omnipotent divine power'.

At this moment, Buyer glanced at the Tokyo skyline behind him, frowned slightly, and looked somewhat unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Los Saint asked, and Fukaros also looked at her.

“I have already notified the country’s top officials, but they have not taken any action.” Buyer said unhappily, “They think that since an evil god has descended, it is the god’s business, not theirs. Even if the disaster caused by the evil god causes the entire population of Tokyo to die, it will not be their fault.”

"Instead, they blocked the news, moved their family members out of Tokyo under the guise of vacation, and delegated the power to manage Tokyo to the middle levels of the government."

"I am so disappointed in them. How can they do nothing and blame everything on the gods?"

"Even gods aren't omnipotent."

Having lived under the same roof as Los Angeles for so long, some of her views have changed, and she is very angry about the inaction of some high-ranking officials in some countries.

"What's there to be angry about? Just stop treating them like human beings," Luo Sheng said nonchalantly, though his heart was ice-cold.

The country's high-ranking officials initially captured monsters to maintain order, but more importantly, to study them.

However, after discovering that they couldn't learn 'Source Awakening' and that extraordinary powers were only available to kind and righteous people, their views changed.

Furthermore, with the events in Britain and South America serving as cautionary tales, they completely abandoned the protection of civilians and order, focusing entirely on researching monsters to gain supernatural powers.

A country's top leaders may be bad, but they are definitely not stupid. They understand that the future will inevitably be an extraordinary era, and their position is already precarious.

If the people who rule the country are unable to awaken supernatural powers, what will they think? It must be because they have done too many bad things. As time goes by, more and more people will gain supernatural powers, and sooner or later they will launch a war to overthrow them.

“The higher-ups of Shintoism have stayed behind.” Buyer’s clover-shaped eyes held a hint of expectation.

"Heh... just gambling with the fate of the nation." Luo Sheng shook his head dismissively.

Most Shinto families aren't exactly benevolent; they're just gambling on divine blessings. They believe the gods will surely descend during a calamity, and what if it's the very deity they've worshipped for generations? Wouldn't that be a winning gamble? They're using the gods' authority to consolidate power.

"Anyway, it will be at least ten days before Tiamat falls, let's let the bullets fly for a while."

As Los Saint spoke, a spatial rift appeared in front of him. He walked in, with Buyer and Fucaros following behind him.

……

Time flies, and night soon falls.

The two shrine maidens and a fox spirit at Inaba Shrine couldn't sleep.

The next morning, after finishing their work at the shrine, Inaba Chitose and Inari Touka knelt and prayed to Yae no Miko before going to school.

The shrine maidens didn't have much to do in the morning; they simply offered fresh wine to the gods they worshipped. Since the two of them were rather poor, they offered lime water instead.

Meanwhile, Yae no Miko frowned as she flipped through the history of this country and the world. The most direct way for humanity to understand a country is to learn about its history.

Taitung National High School.

This is where Inaba Chitose goes to school, and Inaba Touka is also in the junior high school section of this school. The two of them are popular in the school because they are pretty, have good personalities, and have many friends. They are also professional shrine maidens living in a shrine, which adds to their mystique.

Yae no Miko wasn't in a hurry to contact the 'Shrine Headquarters', so she told the two girls to finish their schooling before going.

after class.

Chitose Inaba's close female classmates gathered together for a chat.

"Inaba-kun, have you heard? Yesterday evening, a student forgot to take his textbook and heard a monster's cries coming from an abandoned old school building on his way back to school."

"But I heard that it wasn't just the screams, I also saw two monsters fighting."

"Yes, some people have even gone to the old school building and there are indeed signs of a fight. The ground of the old school building is full of potholes, and a big tree trunk has a hole in it."

"Could it be a prank? If it were a monster, the Metropolitan Police Department would have surrounded it by now."

The existence of monsters and gods is a common understanding among the Japanese people; it's just that most of them never encounter them.

Many people will also deliberately stage monster appearances as pranks to attract attention.

If it's a real monster, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely send people; this is a consensus among the public.

"Yes, there are no photos or anything like that." A girl nodded, a little scared.

"Inaba-kun, you're a shrine maiden! How about we go check you out after school?"

"Inaba got a sticker tattoo on her forehead today, it looks so good, I want to get one too."

"This isn't a sticker, it's the power of the Fox God," Inaba Chitose quickly explained, touching her forehead.

"So, let's go take a look together. With Inaba here, we won't be scared."

"Are there monsters around...?" Inaba Chitose was a little conflicted. She had to complete the task that Yaehime had given her after school.

"Just take a look, it'll be quick," a girl pleaded, pulling on Inaba Chitose's hand.

"Please, Inaba-kun, just take a look out of curiosity."

"Yes, please, Inaba-san. If it really is a monster, Inaba-san, as a shrine maiden, you can destroy it."

They were just curious and wanted to join in the fun. They were too scared to go alone and wanted more people. They didn't really think that the shrine maiden Inaba Chitose had any divine power.

If they had divine powers, they would have discovered it long ago, from junior high to high school.

"Alright, it wouldn't be good if a monster really did hurt someone." Inaba Chitose touched the cherry blossom petal pattern on her forehead. She had the divine power given to her by Master Yaono, so she could exorcise any monsters that might be there.

"Great!"

"That's it!"

Time flies. After school ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, the school quickly emptied out, with only a few teachers remaining in their offices.

Five girls gathered together and cautiously walked towards the abandoned old school building not far from the school.

Because of an earthquake a few years ago, the old school building became a dangerous building and was therefore abandoned.

"Do you think there really are monsters?"

"Shh~ Please don't say monster, it's definitely a prank."

Soon we arrived at the old school building, which was said to be the place where monsters fought.

The rusty railings of the flowerbed, which was overgrown with weeds, had been violently broken. A large gap had been made in the trunk of a decades-old tree. In particular, the cement ground was covered with potholes the size of bowls, as if it had been smashed by a hammer.

But apart from these, the rest of the place was undamaged, which looks like a prank.

"Is this all there is to monster fighting? I told you it was just a prank." A girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"It really looks like a prank."

"I thought there really were monsters."

"Then let's go."

"Inaba-kun, shall we go? Inaba-kun?"

The five girls then noticed that Inaba Chitose looked tense and stood motionless with her hands clenched into fists.

"What's wrong, Inaba-kun?"

At this moment, Inaba Chitose felt her forehead burning, and a warm current flowed into her eyes. The world she saw was different; she saw a lot of blue and cyan mist in the air.

The mist was drifting in from the grove of trees in front of the old church dormitory.

Demonic energy?

"Yes, there are monsters... there really are monsters." Inaba Chitose swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"Huh?" The girls were all taken aback.

"You guys need to get out of here right now! There really is a monster here!" Inaba Chitose said anxiously to her classmate. After saying that, she looked at the grove of trees and carefully walked over.

My heart was pounding wildly.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I possess the divine power of an eight-fold great being.

We have to go check it out. What if the monster comes out and hurts our classmates? We have to exorcise it.

I am a shrine maiden. My mother said that shrine maidens must sacrifice themselves for the happiness of ordinary people.

"Heave-ho..." Inaba Chitose took a deep breath, her heart filled with fear, but she took faster and faster steps, the cherry blossom mark on her forehead emitted a purple light, and purple arcs of electricity crackled and popped from her body.

Out of fear, she subconsciously used the Killing Cherry Blossom Secret Curse given to her by Yae no Miko.

"Inaba-kun! You!" A girl was quite surprised, but then became shocked when she saw Inaba Chitose glowing and emitting electricity.

"Thunder and lightning!"

"Inaba-san, does she really have spiritual power?! Is she a real shrine maiden?!"

"My God! So there really are monsters here!"

The girls looked terrified, but they didn't run away immediately. They just took several steps back. It was the first time they had seen a shrine maiden use her spiritual power to exorcise a monster, and they wanted to see it for themselves, even if they were standing far away.

At the same time, I was extremely excited. My classmate was a real shrine maiden, and I even encountered a monster!
Inaba Chitose had already entered the grove and spotted the source of the 'demonic aura'.

It was a strange, ice-blue, super-sized flower, half the height of a person, and a super-sized mushroom as tall as her calf.

The giant flower appears to have a head and eyes without pupils, while the giant mushroom has a pair of lifeless eyes beneath its cap.

But at this moment, they drooped listlessly on the ground, devoid of vitality.

Sensing someone approaching, they trembled and their lifeless eyes turned to look.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The ice-blue humanoid flower made a threatening whooshing sound and then disappeared underground in a flash.

The large, blue mushroom-shaped cap rushed towards Inaba Chitose, trying to crash into her.

"Flower monster and mushroom monster!" Inaba Chitose screamed with her eyes closed, terrified by the monsters attacking her.

"Sesshomaru!"

One of the cherry blossom petals on his forehead disappeared, and purple arcs of electricity erupted from his body.

A thunderous explosion resounded through the grove.

(End of this chapter)
