Chapter 106 The Wonderful Uses of the Penglai Jade Branch

An eerie calm

Hachisei Kaneshin always had a lingering feeling in her heart, even though she repeatedly convinced herself that it was just some pointless illusion.

Takemikazuchi is a well-known war goddess, and I am aware of her strength. She also has the trump card of having the Goddess of the Tadatsu, who can instantly fight two against one at a critical moment. I even went up to her in advance to test her moves. No matter how I look at it, there is no way I could lose.

But from the very beginning, the entire Mount Fuji gave her an eerie calm, and everything was no longer as unstable as before.

The battle in the mortal realm is over? But no matter who won, it shouldn't have happened so quickly.

While Hachiman was still pondering whether something might happen, the girl's footsteps sounded behind him, and he also noticed the girl's hand reaching out towards him.

Kaguya? What's wrong with her this time?

Without dodging, Hachisei Kenshin turned around, but what greeted her was not the girl's fingertips, but the sharp jade branch of Penglai.

"puff!"

Caught completely off guard and without warning, Yashinaga was pierced through by the Penglai Jade Branch. Crimson blood dripped onto the jade-like branch, and it seemed to come alive, growing wildly and bearing the dazzling Seven Treasures Fruit.

"how come?"

Wasn't the Hourai Jade Branch already in my possession? How did another one suddenly appear? Where did Kaguya get the Hourai Jade Branch from?

Filth, desire, and power were all being absorbed by the Hourai Jade Branch, and Kaguya, who held the Hourai Jade Branch in her hand, revealed a sly smile.

From the moment she started talking to Ba Yisi on the way up the mountain, she had been preparing this plan to wear down Ba Yisi's vigilance and make her truly believe that she was now powerless to resist.

It seems that the Divine Palace kept this for itself after all. With its power sealed, only the Hourai Jade Branch could reverse the situation and convert all the absorbed power into its own.

"Oh dear, what kind of mark is this? How did you get this on your body?"

The growing branches tore open Yashinori's robes, revealing the mark on her shoulder that the shrine had branded with a pipe. Kaguya, seeing this mark, laughed with immense joy.

She wanted to resist, but because of the Penglai Jade Branch, she was completely unable to muster any strength, and her whole body visibly weakened. The ordinary people who were setting up the altar next to her could not be expected to pose any obstacle to Princess Kaguya.

But there is one more! There is one more person who can stop Kaguya now, and this person will never let Princess Kaguya escape.

"Kaguya!"

"Chiyo!"

As Kaguya turned around, a firebird soared into the sky, its scorching flames rushing towards her, forcing her to release her grip on the Hourai Jade Branch and dodge the attack.

It's a pity, he hasn't recovered much of his strength yet.

Kaguya dodged Chiyo's attack with a leap, looking at Chiyo with some difficulty. If she didn't use her powers, the Fire Rat Robe was only a small piece, and it would be completely useless against Chiyo's attack.

"Help me pull out the Penglai Jade Branch first, then I can go and take down Kaguya."

The Yasui Kaneshin, who was almost fully grown into a tree-like being, cried out to Chiyo for help. But Chiyo only gave her a cold glance.

"I

"It's my own business, none of your concern. I'll perform the ritual myself after I defeat Kaguya."

Having said that, he ignored Yashinagami and chased after Kaguya. The two fought fiercely in the sky above Mount Fuji. Kaguya had lost the Hourai Jade Branch and her power had not fully recovered. For a while, the two were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Yashinagami could only watch as the jade branches on her body grew more and more, their dense jewel-like brilliance dazzling to the eye. Even when the shrine maidens beside her tried to rescue her, the seemingly fragile jade branches were incredibly hard to them, preventing them from even getting close.

Could it be that she, the dignified Goddess of Sijin, is going to be sucked to death like this? That vigorous desire and filth seemed endless, growing without end until Hachisei Kenji died.

Just as she was racking her brains, trying to find a way to escape, the endlessly growing jade branches were neatly cut off, and a figure appeared before her eyes to her delight.

"Takemikazuchi! You won?"

Without uttering a word, Takemikazuchi severed the growing branches and pulled the Hourai Jade Branch from Yashinaga's belly. The branches grew out of the flesh and blood, bringing with them a lot of flesh and blood tissue.

Then Takemikazuchi carefully wiped the Hourai Jade Branch clean, ignoring the listless Yashinagami, and held the Hourai Jade Branch in his hands before walking away.

"Lord!"

With a look of awe, she walked over respectfully, bowing low, almost kneeling, and presented the Penglai Jade Branch with both hands. The person she addressed as her lord was the very face that Yasui Kaneki least wanted to see at that moment.

"I'm not used to being called master or lord."

He casually corrected the other person's still-uncorrected form of address, then picked up the Hourai Jade Branch. Behind him, another girl who looked exactly the same was gently massaging his shoulders.

"Yes, Master...Master!"

In the mortal world, facing the transformed power of the shrine, Takemikazuchi completely lost the will to fight. Moreover, she was a very law-abiding person, and according to the tradition of Eizou, the victor has the right to take everything from the loser.

Despite being somewhat unwilling to comply with the shrine's demands, she still followed tradition and revered the shrine as her lord.

Seeing this scene before her, Yagami was dumbfounded. She never imagined that the proud and powerful Takemikazuchi would one day kneel obediently before a boy who was not even a man, and respectfully call him master.

They were as docile as female dogs, kneeling respectfully at the feet of the shrine.

What exactly happened in the mortal world? If it was just a simple defeat, it shouldn't have come to this.

Although she wasn't happy to see the shrine, someone else was.

"Lord Jingu!"

The little shrine maiden and Asuka ran over, ignoring the strange woman standing respectfully beside them. The little shrine maiden threw herself into the shrine's arms, while Asuka only dared to stand shyly beside the shrine.

It wasn't until the middle of the night, when the shrine was not there, that they realized how safe and comfortable they felt when the shrine was around. They didn't have to worry about anything, and they weren't afraid of anything, no matter what happened.

"Alright, alright, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Upon hearing this, the shrine maidens nearby shuddered and their legs nearly gave way.

They weren't blind. The current situation was clear: that evil god had not only defeated the once mighty Takemikazuchi, but had also beaten her and their own ancestral god, Hachiman no Kaneki, to their knees, intending to take them back to become Star Wrath!

Although they didn't really do anything to Su, what if the other party didn't like them and said something that made them unhappy or wronged?

The evil god doesn't need a reason to kill. Although it might not warrant taking out his anger on everyone present, their lives were hanging by a thread.

This chapter has 2097 words. I really did speed up the writing; I really didn't hold back.

Chapter 107 Rare Species

"No, they were quite polite to me."

Fortunately, neither the little shrine maiden nor Asuka are people who like to sow discord and stir up trouble. If someone like Tamamo-no-Mae were sitting in the shrine's lap, she would definitely stir things up and make the shrine kill a couple of people for her amusement.

However, Tamamo-no-Mae was too ashamed to do such a thing now, so she could only stand aside, looking at Takemikazuchi with a mixture of ridicule and wistfulness, then at the mark on Yasuogi's shoulder, and clicked her tongue.

"Tsk tsk, it seems you're the one who ended up making a fortune. I thought you'd be the one who capsized in the gutter."

Tamamo-no-Mae examined Hachiman's tattered clothes with the same care she would give to a merchandise inspection, her expression full of schadenfreude.

She was clever enough to first establish a small friendship with the shrine, casually teasing him occasionally, and then supporting and helping him on important issues. She wouldn't truly become his enemy, otherwise she would end up like the person before her, beaten to a pulp and taken back to be chained and collared.

She and Jingu had some friendship or even feelings involved. Although it didn't change the fact that she was given the chance to have sex with him, at least Jingu wasn't so heartless.

"Hey, Jingu, could she give me a two-day job? I'd like to experience what it's like to be waited on hand and foot by someone like her."

She pinched Yagi no Omoikane's face. Even though her face was full of resentment and stubbornness, it couldn't change her fate. It would only make Tamamo-no-Mae's evil intentions grow stronger.

"Don't worry, I won't lend it to you for nothing. I'll help you educate her until she's completely obedient. When I return her to you, I promise she'll be well-behaved and even help you push her back."

Upon hearing Tamamo-no-Mae's words, Jingu spat and said irritably:

"If you're going to educate her, who am I supposed to educate? You? We finally have someone with this kind of expertise, and you want to be the first to go? Dream on!"

It's so hard to find a shrine maiden. There's no one who can make him feel no pity. Princess Hōhime is obedient to him, and once he gets involved, he can't say a word. Iizuna-maru is a fair-weather friend, a drinking buddy. Although he has tricked me before, it wasn't too bad. He's also very shrewd and quick to run away.

Takemikazuchi used to be very tough, but she's still just as obedient now. Plus, her personality isn't annoying, so Jingu naturally doesn't have much of a tyrannical mindset.

As for the eight meanings and gods... hehehe.

In short, it is a very rare existence and should be cherished.

As for Yagami, who was being discussed by the two as if she were a commodity or a toy, all that remained on her face was humiliation and anger. But reason told her that there was no need for her to say anything, as that would only attract more interest from the two. So she could only try her best to control her emotions.

Takemikazuchi remained calm, as if the center of the struggle was not her ally. She had been too quick to persuade people, accepting reality very quickly. Perhaps she was also intimidated by the power of the shrine and felt an indescribable sense of awe.

"Jingu, what should we do with Chiyo? Are we just going to leave her like this?"

Even at a time like this, Moritaka Asuka still hasn't forgotten about Chiyo.

"It's alright, let them fight for now. They won't die anyway, so it doesn't matter if they fight them to the death."

The shrine glanced at the fireworks exploding over Mount Fuji.

Chiyo and Kaguya, who could only flee in all directions, paid no further attention and bent down to pick the fruits that grew on the Hourai Jade Branch one by one.

Although he could easily conjure this metal now, the Seven Treasures born from the filth of desire possessed a unique charm, much like the gold of the Nibelungs.

Fingers, like sharp carving knives, gradually sculpted shapes on it. Since the shrine had said so, Asuka felt relieved for the time being, although it felt a little strange. What did he mean by "beat them to death"? Did the shrine enjoy watching girls fight?

"Master, my lord! The matter of your survival is still quite important, this..."

Takemikazuchi hesitated, wanting to offer advice but not daring to say something like telling the shrine to throw Chiyo into the volcano.

"What do you mean by 'return the favor'? You're such a fool, completely fooled by Yasei Ken. Chiyo's immortality is clearly due to taking an immortality elixir, what does it have to do with a phoenix?"

"Even if we throw Chiyo down there, it will only keep her burning forever; it won't solve anything."

Faced with the words of the shrine, Yasui no Kaneki seemed to have found a breakthrough and shouted at Takemikazuchi:

“Takemikazuchi! I did not lie to you. The phoenix is ​​indeed residing in Chiyo’s body. As long as she is returned to Mount Fuji, as long as she burns in the volcano, the dragon vein will remain in balance for one day.”

"Stop talking about the Eightfold Principles. My master's words are the ironclad rules I must abide by. Even if my master wants the government to perish, I will only serve as his mouthpiece and be the vanguard of swords."

Takemikazuchi shook her head. After she was completely defeated and everything—her dignity and status—was shattered, she only wanted to be driven by others and stop thinking about complicated things.

"Takemikazuchi! Have you so easily betrayed your position as the goddess of Amatsu? You're willing to serve two masters while Amaterasu is still alive? Is this your loyalty?"

Faced with Yashinori's questioning, Takemikazuchi simply chuckled indifferently.

"What position does the God of the Heavens have? Amaterasu hasn't shown her face in Takamagahara for many years, otherwise how would you have had the opportunity to wield power? As for the two masters, you seem to have no right to speak to me."

These remarks left the Eight Meanings God speechless. What stance did the Tianjin God have? They were simply absorbed during the unification of Yingzhou, and then the myths and legends were changed.

"Ha, you really know how to charm people. Don't you have any simpler names besides the complicated one like Takemikazuchi?"

Impressed by her words, Jingu grabbed her chin, lifted her up, and stared into her deep purple eyes, scrutinizing her expressionless face.

"No, my name is known to the world, and I can be called whatever my master wants."
