Why can't humans do it too?

In the past, he had wondered how the pink-haired angel he had heard about from Nurarihyon came to this world. He had considered countless possibilities, such as Tet sending her here, or that he summoned her in this era when the origin of all things was not so obscured... But at this moment, when he saw the remnants of Tet's divine power, he understood how Jibril came to this world.

Of course, it couldn't have been Tet who sent her here. After all, even Tet didn't know where Sul had gone after leaving that universe, let alone how she could have returned with that little bit of divine power. With that little bit of remaining divine power, she would probably have been annihilated in the gap between worlds.

But this is indeed Tetto's divine power as the only god, his attributes, his concept, his existence—as long as Sur, who knows him, resonates with this divine power, Tetto will feel it.

Having pierced through the sea of ​​blood and overcome all the natural disasters, frankly, whether Jibril could make it through was now a secondary concern. Sur gathered the still independent spiritual energy in the world to protect himself as he broke through to those traces. The simplest and most genuine resonance and cry he could utter was reduced to just one word—"Save!!"

We have to help them. How can two people be using the same cheat at the same time, especially when the other side has a higher power level? Who can withstand that?

Seeing that the divine powers could still recognize him in a human-like manner, and watching them gradually tremble and slowly disappear into the air, Suer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief... It was just that Amaterasu didn't seem too happy about it.

"Do not!!!"

With a roar filled with rage, and watching the divine power she had painstakingly plundered from the outer walls of the world disappear one after another, Amaterasu, who had just been somewhat mindful of not damaging or corrupting that divine power, completely lost control and no longer held back.

boom! ! !

The rain fell in a deluge, yet even the solid mixture of earth and sand couldn't obscure its brilliance. Like a shooting star, its long tail flame resembled a straight spear, piercing directly through the enormous humanoid figure in the sky.

"What is that...?" she murmured involuntarily. Yukari Yakumo, who had been prepared for the unexpected turn of events, looked up at the enormous humanoid figure in the sky that was only half-body. Even she couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

Behind her were thousands of monsters busy with evacuation arrangements. What should have been a bustling scene of activity was now replaced by a stunned silence as they all looked up at the sky.

All the monsters had seen the sun, which they knew so well, disappear. Even though it wasn't dark yet, after a sudden flash, they could no longer find that familiar sun. In its place was a huge, strangely-looking woman with only half a body, who seemed to be screaming something in a ferocious manner.

Who is she?

What happened?

Chapter 131 EVEN

The sky seemed to be playing out a silent film, with no sounds of fierce battle coming from there. But both the gods and monsters of Izumo couldn't help but be anxious about what was happening in the sky. Even though they knew nothing about it, they could sense in the darkness that the outcome of this battle would determine their fate.

The woman's eyes shone like the sun, yet could be looked directly at by mortals. But even the most naive mortal would not find her friendly, because of the red waves that surged and rolled with her waving arms and shouting. Only those with exceptional eyesight, such as demons and gods, could see that it was not a red tide, but a sea of ​​blood and flesh.

Then came prayer, a prayer that the light, which they could not see clearly but was indeed battling the enormous woman, would prevail over this demonic being.

Every now and then you can see many powerful gods and monsters flying rapidly into the sky, but no matter how much they want to contribute, they can never get close.

Similarly, taking in everything in the sky, Yukari Yakumo actually knew more than the others. For example, who was that being that kept piercing through the giant woman's defenses like a comet, yet whose light flickered under wave after wave of endless waves...? It could only be someone else.

As the battle intensified, even mortals who couldn't see the details of the great battle in the sky gradually grew fearful. The moon, which should only appear at night, had mysteriously appeared during the day, a day when the sun had disappeared. But what terrified them even more than this change was that the moon had become broken.

Like a cookie with a bite taken out of it, the moon is now only three-quarters its original size, and even that remaining size is being gradually eroded away, worn away bit by bit in the aftermath of the battle.

Ordinary people knelt down tremblingly, burying their heads between their knees, as if the whole thing wouldn't exist if they didn't look at it. Only a very few bold people managed to keep their necks craning to peer at this scene that resembled a myth.

The false world is crumbling.

For all the lives that exist in a box-like Reed Plains from birth to death, this vast yet extremely narrow box is breaking, and they are finally able to see the true nature beneath the things they once took for granted.

At first, only Takamagahara shattered, but although Takamagahara was called the small world where the gods lived, it was actually still a part of this world, like a differentiated organ. However, as Amaterasu drove the entire world to activity without reservation, Sull heard the sound of the world shattering once again.

This time it was Ashihara no Nakaku's turn.

This flat, round world, far larger than Takamagahara, finally showed signs of cracking. Mountains split open, valleys ripped apart, and even the sea and lakes sank into unfathomable abysses. They were expanding, breaking apart step by step, steadily and unhurriedly.

Suer had previously hesitated about whether to hold back, but after witnessing the insane things Amaterasu had done, there was only one thing he was certain of—he absolutely could not let this god live.

If she were to lose because she held back, then none of the lives in Ashihara no Nakatsukuri would survive. Just as Amaterasu herself said, after becoming the entire 'fruit,' she would use herself to cross the barriers between worlds and go to another new and broader world.

Hmm... It's as if he still has room to hold back.

boom! ! !

Like a small boat that is too small to sail on the sea and encounters a storm, Suer felt himself being pushed up and down by wave after wave of raging winds and waves, gradually being pushed to his limit.

“Why! Why!! Why!!!”

Even though she hadn't reacted to her at all for so long, and even trying to infect or corrupt her with divine power couldn't shake her in the slightest, seeing all the divine power she had painstakingly collected from the outer walls of the world so easily disappear into Sul's palm, Amaterasu felt the anger in her heart burning to the point that it was almost burning her to ashes.

Perhaps there was also jealousy.

This rage was consuming her reason, making her already fragile mind and body, which were on the verge of collapse due to the evil way she ascended, even more vulnerable. Similarly, this instinctive attack was something that Xin Ke could not predict at all, let alone Su Er.

Unable to feel even the slightest sympathy for Amaterasu, Sur was barely able to take care of himself. He didn't even know if he could hold on until Tet felt the resonance of divine power and responded.

Almost exhausting all her essence, in this world where the two of them had established a connection together, Amaterasu's share at this moment was even far greater than that of Sur. Similarly, under the cover of overwhelming attacks, she was constantly eroding Sur along the connection between the worlds, while Sur didn't even dare to sever her connection with the world like a hero cutting off his own arm.

In this battle where he feels like a lone individual fighting against the entire world, if he loses his last connection with the world, then Amaterasu can mobilize the power of the entire world without reservation to crush him—just as easily as she crushed those monsters and gods in the past.

Only when he stood directly opposite this power did Suer truly feel the powerlessness those guys had shown him in the past, and Xin Ke's mutated power was completely ineffective against this attack that almost covered his entire field of vision.

She was too small to even inflict damage on Amaterasu's enormous and hollow form in a way that would affect the course of the battle. She herself knew her own powerlessness at this moment and could only watch anxiously and angrily as Sur swayed in the waves stirred up by Amaterasu.

For the first time, Xin Ke even had a thought: it would be good if Tetu or anyone else, even that pink-haired birdman, appeared at this time.

The plate-like moon finally looked pleasing to Sul's eye. It used its own body to shield Sul from the torrent of Amaterasu's cascading waters, but at the cost of itself being reduced to less than half its original size, along with the corpse of Tsukuyomi behind it... Sul silently apologized in his heart.

It's hard to say whether Amaterasu's sudden slowdown was due to seeing Tsukuyomi's corpse on the far side of the moon, but the deity was indeed half-crying and half-laughing at that moment.

Chapter 132 It's Her

He continuously mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in an attempt to stop Amaterasu's advance. As Ashihara no Nakatsukuni gradually shattered, the power that Sull could mobilize increased. However, this had no effect on changing his situation. After all, when he mobilized the spiritual energy of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, Amaterasu was also calling for its own share.

The Milky Way, which had long been frozen and still, finally began to flow slowly, carrying a weight far exceeding that of an era. It flowed, flowed... and scattered. In the terrified gazes of countless lives, the end of the Milky Way had spread outwards, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, but what it spread out were tiny, flowing stars.

It had been struggling to hold on since the rift in Takamagahara, but Suer never forgot to be wary of this galaxy. No matter what, he would never forget that whether he went to that future world or returned to this era, he was inextricably linked to it. It was precisely because of this that Suer was able to detect this anomaly at the first moment.

If we were to use a river in the mortal world as a metaphor, the expansion and blossoming of this Milky Way at this moment does not mean that the river channel has widened or the water volume has increased. The chaotic and disorderly meteors shuttle aimlessly back and forth, which is more like a collapse that can no longer be maintained.

Or rather, the whole world is now in a state of apocalypse... Volcanic eruptions, floods inundating plains, and cracks in the earth that even large-sized yokai fall into. The yokai that Yakumo Yukari had gathered together are thankfully sticking together to resist the various natural disasters. Meanwhile, the gods and oni in Izumo Castle have gathered the seven floating islands and are doing their best to preserve the humans in the city—this world is collapsing, this world is dying.

Surprised to notice this, Suer never imagined that in such a short time, the world would have fallen to such a state. Amaterasu and his almost unbridled methods of extracting and brutally manipulating the world to fight each other also accelerated this outcome.

But, shouldn't that be the case?

He couldn't help but get agitated; Suer couldn't accept this outcome—why?

If this world should never have collapsed and perished like this, and should never have ended up like this, if it has been annihilated in the void, then where did the planet ruled by humans that he and Xin Ke saw come from, that modern society?

The future... has changed?

Did he do something wrong? After learning about the past from Nurarihyon, he thought this journey was a way to realize the future, but in the future Nurarihyon spoke of, he didn't act this way? Different actions lead to different futures—I…destroyed this world?

These heavy words flickered in Suer's heart and could not be erased. Even after experiencing so much, he still could not bear the sin of causing the disappearance of a world and all life in an entire world because of his actions.

I...she...I—Bang!

"Are you crazy?! Don't think about such nonsense at a time like this!"

Amidst Xin Ke's almost broken voice shouting in her ear, which was a scolding but also an uncontrollable worry, Su Er's consciousness was pulled back from the brink of fading.

Just now, Amaterasu keenly seized the moment when Suer was lost in thought... which was much longer than a moment. A torrent of flesh and blood mixed with misunderstanding spiritual energy directly slammed into Suer's body. The climbing flesh threads bared their fangs and claws, trying to swallow Suer's body as well, but were torn off Suer's body by the angry Xinke with a wave of her hand.

The meager magic was useless at this moment, and Xin Ke could only do her best to support Su Er's body and dodge and weave through the laughing Amaterasu's palms.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

She desperately wanted to slap Suer across the face, but the blood gushing from the man's eyes, nose, and even ears made Xin Ke dare not use even a little bit of force. She could only shout anxiously and in vain, hoping to wake him up.

From a powerless mortal, he suddenly became the only god with the power to overturn everything, and because of that power, he had almost overwhelming strength. But in the end, Suer had no experience in manipulating supernatural power to fight against others. This was an experience that he could not learn in the past when he was an ordinary human.

With difficulty and barely, he regained control of his body, but all his movements lacked the grace he had maintained under immense pressure. Each time, he narrowly escaped death. The price he paid for that moment of distraction was far from over and was still being paid.

Taking advantage of the moment when Sul was briefly unconscious due to her attack, Amaterasu seized the opportunity to occupy the world, which was being neglected due to Sul's relaxation, and further compressed and squeezed the connection between Sul and the world.

Death is closing in step by step, and more and more mistakes are being made. Amaterasu is laughing wildly, endlessly.

"Yes, yes, yes...that's it, haha, that's it, hahahahahahaha," as the Milky Way gradually collapsed, the life on Ashihara no Naka de, no longer isolated, could gradually hear Amaterasu's voice, "Die! Die! Die!"

"I will not lose! I will not fail!" she roared, laughing furiously, filled with rage and fear at the slightest possibility of failure. Amaterasu swung her arm violently. "I've already tried with Tsukuyomi, I absolutely cannot fail!"

"I! I will become a god representing the world, I will be like them, a god of other realms! A solitary god!!!"

The more Su Er swayed precariously like a butterfly in a storm, the more frantic Amaterasu became. She relentlessly pursued him with almost all her might, but she was constantly frustrated as she watched the man break through her strength each time, even when he was covered in wounds. This only fueled her rage.

So—just die! Die!

"Only when you die can I shed this burden! Only when you die can I transform into an invisible god!! Die! Why won't you die!!!"

boom! ! !

Unable to respond to Amaterasu's words, Suer even felt that his soul had been severely injured by Amaterasu, who had come to him through the connection with the world. The pain was a pain he hadn't felt in a long time, and this pain made him even more determined, clenching his teeth.

Xin Ke's soul had transformed into chains that bound his will, preventing him from dissipating, and this pain was also transmitted to her.

—It is the wind.

It's an indigo aurora, yet it carries the scent of wind—who's laughing?

It wasn't Amaterasu's maniacal laughter that resembled a demon, but rather a light, cheerful, and mischievous boyish laugh that seemed to possess a calming magic just by hearing it.

White feathers swirled and drifted down from the sky.

Chapter 133 Jibril's Side Story 1

Three thousand years have passed since the end of that war, which was arguably the largest since the birth of this planet, and in which almost all the races still existing on this planet were involved, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

Three thousand years.

It's just three simple words, but the time span they represent is unimaginable to those short-lived races... I'm talking about you, humans.
