Why can't humans do it too?

Well, it's more likely you'll learn some amazing techniques from those comic book stories... like hairspray hands?

100,000 tricks to showing off?

According to Jibril's thinking, those are probably all very practical little tricks.

Amidst the shimmering light emanating from the healing spell cast by Xin Ke, Su Er gazed at Jibril in the distance, lost in thought. It must be admitted that even though they had been exchanging barbs and insults since Jibril appeared, both he and Xin Ke subconsciously relaxed when she did.

The pink-haired Skywing species truly brought an unparalleled sense of security when she was on their side, and her actions reflected this.

Then the black coffin disappeared.

Even without Sull's reminder, Jibril's rich combat experience was enough to tell that the flesh and blood of the enemy before her was not the insignificant, dripping flesh and blood of the enemies she had defeated in the past. This flesh and blood was more like a tangible energy, a means of combat.

Therefore, when the black coffin dissipated, what fell out was not the blood that the sharp-eyed gods and monsters in Ashihara no Nakatsukuri had guessed, but a lump of something that looked like charcoal.

The intense energy directly evaporated those ominous entities, allowing Amaterasu to preserve more of them only through a method akin to a gecko shedding its tail.

Chapter 154 Pulling the Power Outage

The charred, black clumps were falling, like a cracked egg or parched, cracked earth. Beneath the falling black ash, pus-like flesh and blood, the color of rouge, were seeping out. Patches of scabs were peeling away, and the rolling flesh and blood pulled out limbs shaped like arms, which, in their flow, also had the outline of Amaterasu.

The overwhelming power of the situation shocked Suer, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to be shocked about. After all, Jibril came with the divine power of Tet, and Tet was the only god in the universe. Amaterasu, who was desperately trying to advance to the next level, was not even worthy of touching Tet's heel.

"It feels so much easier now," Suer couldn't help but turn her head and smile at Xin Ke. She quickly made contact with this world. When Tian Zhao was severely injured and barely managed to survive under Jibril's attack, her connection with the world weakened accordingly.

Adhering to the principle of striking a fallen dog, just as Amaterasu attacked his soul through the connections between worlds, he now followed that connection to tear apart Amaterasu's soul.

Like two snakes devouring each other, whoever eats the other first and stops its heartbeat will have the right to live.

'Thank goodness Jibril is here.'

Suer couldn't help but feel fortunate. If it weren't for this external force that nearly overturned the entire chessboard, he would never have imagined that Amaterasu possessed a power of the same nature and that it occupied a larger share of the world than him. He would have had no hope of winning.

"Huh?" Xin Ke tilted her head in confusion, unaware of what Su Er was thinking. However, without her explanation, Su Er was already staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Jibril in the distance seemed to have lived a whole life in a second, only in reverse. One second she was a young woman, the next she was a high school girl, and the next she was a little girl that Suer and Xinke were more familiar with.

"ha???!"

It was rare for Xin Ke to express such shock along with Su Er.

Her originally large wings had shrunk to tiny, adorable wings as her body had shrunk. Jibril herself was stunned and was now looking down at her palms.

"Ah! I forgot what Tet said... Oh right... There are no elves in the other world," Jibril said with a slightly embarrassed smile as she turned to Sull, as if suddenly realizing something.

"Don't forget this crucial thing!! Get out of the way!!!"

Sull felt his blood pressure soaring rapidly, and it reached its peak when he saw Amaterasu suddenly attacking from behind Jibril—it was about to burst.

Fortunately, the shrinking of her size did not affect Jibril's ability to travel through space. With a simple turn, she was back beside Sull before he finished speaking.

Sul didn't need Xin Ke's explanation; he understood what had happened. From the moment he appeared until now, Jibril had unleashed two Heavenly Strikes. One saved Sul, while the other severely damaged Amaterasu.

The move, which should have been cast by gathering the spirits in the surrounding space along with her own spirit, became something that Jibril could only cast with her own spirit in this world where there were no spirits. This meant that the power of Sky Strike was not diminished by the power of Tet, but was even greater.

The consumption was also much greater. After all, Amaterasu was already largely connected to the world, almost a conceptual existence. Even though these two heavenly strikes seemed casual, in reality, Tet's divine power had to be used to seal her movements. Otherwise, Amaterasu could appear anywhere in the world at any time, and unless the entire world was completely destroyed, it would be impossible to hit her.

"Are there enough elves to sustain our existence?" Sull asked anxiously. He didn't want to see a life form like Jibril, composed entirely of elves, disappear from this other world after losing the elves she relied on for survival.

To be honest, Sull would rather use the little divine power Tet had left to escape this world with the three of them, even if it meant being branded as a coward for fleeing from battle, than see Jibril or Hink die here—they had no reason to risk their lives.

“Enough, enough,” Jibril nodded repeatedly. Her previous foolishness was just an instinctive reaction because she was used to the environment full of elves. Now that she was aware of the problem, she could easily guess what Sull was thinking. “According to Tet, you can replace the elves I use with energy unique to this other world.”

The pink-haired Skywing was filled with anticipation. She couldn't wait to make a big splash. For three thousand years, she hadn't fought with all her might, nor had she smelled blood or the scent of battle. After arriving in this world where life and death were a matter of life and death, Jibril was so excited that the halo above her head spun at high speed.

She finally didn't have to play those childish games anymore.

However, the problem of the source of power must be resolved before the battle begins—having finally seen that man again, Jibril has no intention of dying here.

"Me? I can do something like that?", Suer was dumbfounded.

To be honest, if it were the time when he was briefly omniscient and omnipotent, he could have done this without any problem, and it would have only taken him a snap of his fingers. But now he is neither omniscient nor omnipotent!

To replace Jibril's foundation of existence with the spiritual energy unique to this world in this state... is like replacing all the cells in a person's body with metal so that he can live as a silicon-based life form. If something goes wrong, Jibril might become an idiot, or even a mass of energy without any consciousness.

what to do? How can I do?

Especially in this urgent situation with a formidable enemy at hand, Suer was so anxious that sweat dripped from his forehead. His gaze subconsciously drifted toward Amaterasu's location, then turned somewhat strange.

Although only a few words had passed, the goddess did not take the opportunity to pursue them.

In his sight, Amaterasu not only did not take this opportunity to attack, but was even moving away from this side. Her liquid body was rapidly heading towards Ashihara no Naka de, and all that was directed at Suer was a pair of eyes that, even from such a distance, could be felt as filled with boundless resentment.

Passing through the now-collapsed Milky Way, Amaterasu's last body seemed to be burning, even bringing with it a strange silver tail flame. In this false, pitch-black starry sky, she was getting closer and closer to Ashihara no Naka de... A sense of unease suddenly rose in Sur's heart.

Chapter 155 A World Turned Upside Down

The only thing Suer was certain of was that Amaterasu had not chosen to give up. Born into this world and without any external divine power, she was not capable of leaving it. Judging from the scattered remains of gods floating in the false starry sky, Amaterasu, who had sacrificed almost everything to get to this point, was extremely cruel, obsessive, and ruthless.

Such beings, when severely injured or harmed, often do not choose to flee or give up, but instead shed their last restraints and resort to any means necessary.

So, what else could Amaterasu, who was already going mad from the failure of her plan and the pain of her injuries, sacrifice after sacrificing all the gods in Takamagahara?

An answer had already appeared in Suer's mind.

Amaterasu, who knew nothing about the other universe outside of this world, naturally wouldn't know that Jibril's sudden shrinking meant a weakening of her power, nor would she know what a spirit was. Even if she did know, she would only see it as a trap.

When you know there's a trap somewhere and an enemy wants you to fall into it, the best approach isn't to dismantle the trap, but to step out of the enemy's plan and let them fall into your trap. Never follow someone else's lead—Amaterasu understood this principle as well.

The carefully laid out and meticulously executed plan was shattered by the visitors from outside this world, so Amaterasu simply skipped to the final step of the plan.

There is still hope—as long as these troublemakers are killed, He will still be the strongest god in the world.

Staring intently at the man's face, Amaterasu kept repeating these words to herself as her body plummeted. If gazes could inflict tangible damage, then Sul's body would probably have been burned away long ago.

It was so close that even ordinary mortals, protected as precious treasures, could see a small silver dot moving in the sky with their naked eyes. Amaterasu was above Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, yet she was at the very center of the entire Ashihara no Nakatsukuni.

The sky and the land are now equidistant.

The area in Ashihara Chugoku, where the Yamato Kingdom once existed, had become desolate in just a few years. Overgrown weeds completely covered the already low and dilapidated houses, and the continuous rains even created a small lake in the city.

With the fall of the Heavenly Grandson, the demons who were finally free to set foot on the ground had long since left the underground of Yamato Castle. The remaining humans were also plundered by Izumo Kingdom. Only a few weak little demons remained here, and some demons who were unwilling to leave lived in the deepest part of the underground.

But at this moment, they were equally shocked, their eyes wide open. Some grabbed onto a sturdy object nearby, while others simply lay prostrate on the ground. Some of the quick-witted ones ran and jumped frantically, taking three steps at a time to reach the deep pit where the Heavenly Grandson had once been. The light shining down from the huge hole that Su'er had pierced through overhead was just enough to illuminate what was below.

Where the soil should have been completely buried, and where there should have been only illusory phantoms, they now seemed to have real bodies. The soil, which had dried out and hardened, was constantly churning, as if there were giant earthworms wriggling underneath.

It broke through the soil.

Like a black vine growing rapidly upwards, it transformed into a towering tree that shot straight into the sky in just a few breaths. Countless black shadows, like threads, intertwined with each other and pierced straight into Amaterasu's falling back from below!

The earth trembled, and it wasn't just limited to one place in Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, but the entire Ashihara no Nakatsukuni was shaking. The laws of physics seemed unable to maintain the stability of this world. Under the shocked gazes of countless creatures, large and small, the water cups, bowls, and pots, as well as stones and clods of earth that they had placed on the table, began to fly into the sky.

Before they could find the cause of this anomaly, the next moment, they themselves began to fly upwards, or more accurately, to levitate.

Within Yakumo Yukari's castle, smaller youkai floated beside larger youkai without using any youkai power, as if their ability to float freely was the very rule of this world. Soon, even the largest youkai began to levitate.

Many carefree yokai not only didn't feel any sense of crisis, but instead curiously fiddled with their claws, playing happily with each other, touching each other. However, Yukari Yakumo, who witnessed this scene, did not have a relaxed expression. Instead, she stared at the ground beneath her feet with a heavy expression, and then looked at the towering black tree and the meteor that had been pierced by the tree.

Despite its seemingly humorous shelter, the scene was not without bloodshed, especially in this apocalyptic landscape where the entire world was on the verge of destruction. The characteristics of the yokai race brought them far more chaos and slaughter than Yukari Yakumo had anticipated.

Seeing the green-haired figure weaving through the city, each punch causing a monster trying to take advantage of the chaos to splatter blood, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had the foresight to pay such a high price for that guy's help.

"What should we do? This world..." With a worried sigh, Yukari Yakumo gazed at the chaotic world, still hearing the howls and noises, big and small. For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

—What use would it be to gather as many monsters as possible in the face of such power?

Yukari Yakumo did not know the answer.

What the world should be like—that's a good question.

Because even Sull himself doesn't know what will happen to this world, or rather, the only person who knows the answer to this question right now is Amaterasu, who caused this strange change.

From this vantage point, overlooking everything from the highest vantage point, Sue, Hinco, and Jibril could be said to have witnessed all the changes.

When the giant shadow tree, which can now be clearly seen from high above, just began to sprout tiny buds, the Heavenly Grandson, who had existed there since Su'er stepped into Takamagahara, began to struggle violently.

Yes, he is still alive. He is still alive even after Amaterasu awoke and fought with Sull, and even now, as if the entire Takamagahara and the whole world are about to shatter, he is still alive. Strangely, the sea of ​​flesh and blood summoned by Amaterasu skipped over him, but Sull believed that this was definitely not a good thing.

If he could, he believed that this grandson of the gods, who had committed countless sins, would rather sleep forever than suffer such pain again.

Chapter 156 The Age of Mythology (End)

Undoubtedly, the reason why Amaterasu went to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni and established the Yamato Kingdom hundreds of years ago was not solely for the purpose of conquering Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, or perhaps it was simply that his presence there was enough—Amaterasu only needed him to be there.

Suer even suspected that the curse suffered by the grandson of the heavens and the things he did were all caused by Amaterasu's secret seduction... After all, he was, in the end, the direct bloodline of Amaterasu, the head of the three noble children, and hundreds of years ago, when the Milky Way was not completely blocked and gods could walk freely on the earth.

In that situation, it was already strange enough that a descendant with the blood of the sun god would suffer such an indelible and indelible curse, not to mention that the power of the sun itself has the function of exorcising evil and removing curses... Moreover, who has the right and power to cast a curse on the Heavenly Grandson?

Suer had investigated the great mountain god, but it seemed that the only stories about him circulating throughout the entire Ashihara no Nakatsukuni region were those related to the Heavenly Grandson. Apart from that, for tens of thousands of years, no god or monster had seen any trace of him.

The Heavenly Grandson is like a trigger, or a prelude, the prelude to Amaterasu's entry into the Central Plains of Ashihara.

The bloodied Tian Sun, whose body was covered in chains that were even digging into his flesh, was bending his body with all his might, as if he wanted to convey some message to Su Er in this way. The thick iron chains hung down from his ankles, with a clear and twisted break at the bottom, as if they had been violently torn off by someone.

However, before Su'er could even pay a moment's attention to his last words, the struggling grandson, along with the giant shadow tree that once stood on the former land of Yamato, suddenly plummeted downwards—no! It was more like something was dragging him down by chains!

It was extremely fast, and had a clear and straight trajectory!

Before Suer and the other two could even stop it, they saw the Heavenly Grandson completely disappear. In its place, the giant shadow tree that had pierced through the clouds in just a few breaths pierced through the remains of Amaterasu. The faster the tree trunk, which had no branches or leaves, rose, the faster the Heavenly Grandson disappeared.

At first, all the life forms on land could see was the strange sight of everything, including themselves, gradually suspending itself in the air. However, what Suer and the others saw was that the entire Ashihara China was curling up, and these changes were accelerating over time until the life forms in Ashihara China themselves noticed the anomaly.
