I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

After the guitar music, a loud singing voice followed.

"The future that is about to happen cannot be stopped~?"

"These possibilities before our eyes~?"

"Does it belong to us?"

"It wasn't for anyone else~?"

The battle theme "Believe Yourself" begins to play.

The [Mysterious Maiden War Drum], which had been devoured and refined, was activated.

This voice is captivating, commands all living beings, and can also amplify the power of spoken words, forcibly ordering mortals and magicians to act according to one's words.

In battle, it can cause sound waves to reverberate around the area, shaking the enemy's spirit and even freezing the enemy in place.

The sound waves spread out, instantly bringing all the grass blades to a standstill.

Zheng!

The golden horns on its head were fully extended.

The power of the Golden Sword is activated.

That is the sword of wisdom that tears apart divine essence and severs divine power.

The Golden Sword originated from the god Mithra, symbolizing the divine nature of the god of war, Mithra. It was this characteristic that separated and transformed into Veleslana.

It possesses a power similar to, yet different from, that of the "warrior" incarnation of the "Eastern God of War" in the original work.

Consuming it can enhance one's perception.

The duration of the battle allows one to see through the true nature of the enemy's strength.

Then, he severed the enemy's divine power and tore apart the enemy's divine essence.

After stacking the impact force of [Thousand Body Scorching Star], it can shatter the enemy's godhood, physical body, and soul together!

As the sound of horns unfolding reached his ears, Nohime Kanoya felt as if he had been seen through.

Wow!

Flames suddenly ignited, and the ground beneath Mingxian's feet seemed to come alive, with golden runes surging forth like a tide, weaving together into a mysterious pattern.

The earth trembled, as if responding to the call of this power.

With a powerful push off the ground, he leaped up like an arrow and kicked towards Kanoya Nohime.

Not to be outdone, Kanoya Nohime's figure appeared and disappeared in the mist, drifting like a ghost. Suddenly, her arm transformed into a vine, shooting out like a green lightning bolt, tearing through the sky, aiming straight for Mingxian's vitals.

boom!

The two collided, producing a deafening roar.

Dust flew everywhere, and columns of dust several stories high shot into the sky.

Mingxian calmly looked down at his feet, where there was a straw man.

"Escaped so fast."

After saying that, he stepped on the straw man with a sudden force, and the entire field seemed to be activated, rippling out in circles.

The mist that shrouded the sky and earth dissipated in an instant, like a white eggshell being broken, revealing the true face of the wilderness.

Heavy rain fell again on this land.

With a turn, Mingxian walked towards the direction of the ugly woman from the underworld.

……

As the mist dissipated, in the courtyard of the villa, Kaguya was nestled against Hayasaka Ai's jade-like arm, who was dressed in pajamas.

The two women looked warily at the ugly woman from the underworld not far away.

The ugly woman had shrunk considerably, now appearing to be only the size of a normal person, but her feet did not touch the ground, and she reeked of decay.

"Kaguya, oh Kaguya, let Mommy hug you..."

A hoarse voice came from the ugly woman's throat.

She stood frozen in place, her fingers, now transformed into claws, relentlessly clawing at her throat, leaving wounds that revealed the rotting flesh inside.

After she saw Kaguya, she remained in this position, as if she were struggling.

Perhaps some humanity still remains?

Hayasaka Ai is also unsure.

Kaguya looked at the ugly woman with complicated emotions, trying hard to see the shadow of her mother in the face covered by the cloth.

But it's just too blurry.

Shortly after giving birth to Kaguya, Shimizu Nayatake was admitted to the intensive care unit due to heart disease and soon passed away.

Kaguya's impression of her "mother" was only found in photographs.

At this moment, facing her mother who had returned from hell and become a vengeful ghost, Kaguya really didn't know how to react.

“Mingyezhu…”

A hoarse voice rang out, and Shinomiya Yan'an slowly walked out, supporting herself against the wall.

"Ahhh!"

The ugly woman let out a piercing scream: "Don't look at me! Don't look at me! Don't look at me! Don't look at me like this!!"

“It really is you…” Shinomiya Yan’an, whose frail and old body seemed to have gained strength from somewhere, straightened up and walked toward the Ugly Woman of the Underworld.

The ugly woman from the underworld resisted being invited into the Four Palaces Hermitage.

"Master..." Hayasaka Ai wanted to warn Shinomiya Gan'an of the danger, but Shinomiya Gan'an ignored her.

The cloth covering her face was lifted, and Shigu Yanan looked at the ugly woman from the underworld whose face was already rotten and infested with maggots, and just smiled through her tears: "You are still as beautiful as before."

Upon hearing this, both Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya were stunned.

Even Mingxian, who had already reached the window and was about to jump, froze in place. He took a closer look at the repulsive face of the ugly woman from the underworld.

Mingxian: "..."

He quietly gave a thumbs up.

Not Agito: Chapter Thirty-Two - Someone's Defense Has Been Breached

The sky was painted crimson, like an apocalyptic scene from an ancient prophecy. The torii gate stood proudly on the vast earth, a stone pillar rising from its hand, piercing the clouds, as if to break through the oppressive sky and touch the indescribable existence.

Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and then—

Buzz!

The stone pillar began to tremble violently.

It trembled and spread outwards.

It trembled and touched the heart of every living being.

At this moment, the four subordinate gods, located in various corners of Tokyo, were miraculously connected in spirit, and together felt the source of this tremor.

That call and anger from the depths of one's blood.

"This is anger, why?" Ōyama Tsumi's voice was low and full of confusion. He looked up at the invisible presence, trying to find the answer in his mother's emotions.

The emotion was complex and indescribable, transcending simple joy or sorrow.

It was a mixture of shame and indignation at being slighted, anger at being misunderstood, and a deep, almost morbid, resentment.

This resentment surged forth as if it were a tangible force, almost threatening to devour his will.

"Mother, please give me another chance!"

Oyama Tsumi's voice trembled slightly, and he clutched his chest tightly with both hands.

It felt as if hundreds of sharp blades were cutting him simultaneously, causing him immense heartache.

Although he didn't understand why his mother reacted this way, he knew that the root of the problem lay in the fact that his own sacrifice had gone wrong.

Therefore, he is willing to bear all the consequences.

"So that's how it is. Is this what they mean by the bond between mother and child?" Riona floated in the air, transforming into a golden sacred bird. "As a subordinate god bound by his own mother, then I won't hold back!"

Relying on her ability to fly, Rina's body erupted with golden light.

"I don't have time to play with you anymore!" Oyama Tsumi suddenly disappeared into the earth.

Tsuchimikado's eyes widened as he could only watch helplessly as the earth in front of him swelled up into mounds, and he forcibly snatched the Flame Sword from the hand of the man.

Fierce!

Flames rose up, illuminating the night sky above the shrine, which was about to become a battlefield, in a crimson glow.

"what!"

Riona let out a scream and fell from the sky.

With bloodshot eyes and a blazing blade in his hand, Oyama Tsumi glared hatefully toward the Shinomiya family mansion, charging forward like a tiger descending a mountain, carrying with it lava.

……

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the courtyard of the Shinomiya family villa, the ugly woman from the underworld covered her head and let out a miserable scream.

Shinomiya Yanan tried to help him up, but he collapsed weakly to the ground.

His aging body had reached its limit, and he could only watch the crazed ugly woman with barely any strength.

"Father!"

Kaguya quickly ran forward and helped Shinomiya Yan'an back, trying to leave this place of trouble.

The ugly woman suddenly lowered her head, her body expanding rapidly. In just a few moments, she transformed into a small mountain, casting a dark shadow like a giant, with the waters of the Yellow Springs surging beneath her feet.

"Ha ha……"

A soft laugh rang out; it wasn't the voice of Shimizu Naotake, but rather a voice tinged with resentment.
