Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

The immortality slipped from his grasp and landed on the ground.

Haruhiko glanced at Hoshino Hotaru, released her hand, and bent down to pick up the broadsword.

His first impression was that it was very heavy.

It is two to three times heavier than most swords.

A game notification sounded.

【Name: Immortality.】

[Rank: Sixth Rank]

[Skills: Earth King, Absolute Defense, God-Slaying Array.]

[Note: The seventh sword for slaying gods, forged by Yamata no Orochi and Ashiya Dōman.]

[King of the Earth: Sixth Tier, standing on the earth allows one to draw upon its power.]

[Absolute Defense: Sixth Tier, merged with the earth, possessing absolute defense.]

[Gods-Slaying Formation: Sixth Tier. The Gods-Slaying Formation can be activated by the Ten Fist Swords once all nine Gods-Slaying Swords are gathered.]

Haruhiko secretly thought that it was true.

He had suspected it when he saw Ashiya Dōman use it before, and now it seems he was right.

Of the three skills, two are defensive, except for the final God-Slaying Formation.

However, the Earth King has a wider range of functions.

The so-called power of the earth is, in essence, spiritual energy.

In other words, to possess immortality is to possess near-infinite power.

After all, the earth cannot decay.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro sheathed his magic sword.

The gold in the sky gradually disappeared.

She is the core of the Nine Palaces Yin-Yang Formation. When she stops maintaining the formation, it will naturally cease to function.

"True pear."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro reminded them, "The rest of the people will be here soon."

Tsuchimikado Mari immediately understood.

Their cooperation with the other forces of the Imperial Palace involves sharing information about the Yamata no Orochi and jointly exploring the ruins.

However, the spiritual artifacts possessed by Ashiya Dōman, Satsuki, and others were not included in this list.

"Haruhiko."

Tsuchimikado Mari has packed up all the spirit tools and taken them away, except for the Immortal ones.

Haruhiko nodded upon hearing this and put away the Immortal, which could be placed inside a spatial artifact.

As for the Totsuka Sword, it was once again given to Izumi.

There were already figures in the distance.

The heads of various powerful families have all landed.

They spotted Ashiya Doman's body immediately.

As for the rest of the corpses, they had already vanished under the attack, leaving only a few wisps of ashes.

"As expected of Ashiya Dōman."

The family heads present had all participated in the battle to attack the Serpent Spirit headquarters and had met Ashiya Michimitsu before.

Of course, they also knew that Ashiya Dōman was not the only one.

After all, the intense aura of the otherworldly demons could not be concealed.

And those spoils of war.

However, they were helpless.

To be honest, although the battle was dangerous, they were only providing psionic energy.

The real danger was borne by Tsuchimikado Mashiro.

Where are the remains of the Yamata no Orochi?

After a brief discussion, someone else asked a question.

"Ashiya Dōman didn't say, but torture is permissible."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro paused for a moment, then said, "To ensure fairness, each faction will send one representative to participate."

Having said that, the heads of the families naturally had no objections.

The rest of the matter had little to do with Haruhiko.

He doesn't know anything about interrogation techniques.

Well, to be honest, I do know a little bit about it.

This kind of torture is not the same as that kind of torture.

"I was so scared!"

Izumi patted his unremarkable chest, looking as if he was still in shock.

She was only at the third tier, and in a battle full of fourth and fifth tier fighters, she was like a husky mixed into a pack of wolves.

"It's worthless."

Haruhiko turned his head and glanced at her, then said with a sarcastic remark.

Izumi immediately put his hands on his hips and glared at him fiercely.

Yukihime gave a soft snort and then withdrew her head.

Haruhiko couldn't help but laugh.

how to say?

Stupid and stupid.

"Shall we go back now?"

Yukihime looked at Haruhiko with her icy blue eyes.

"Ah."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

The battle was relatively safe, though it turned out alright.

Now that Ashiya Dōman and Satsuki are both dead, only the two problems of Yamata no Orochi and the Otherworldly Demons remain to be dealt with.

Both are very tricky.

The former, being a deity, remains alive even after death. Its exact strength is unknown, but it is certainly no match for an ordinary fifth-tier psychic.

The latter number was too large, and they were all trapped in the underworld. If left untreated, they will eventually become a hidden danger.

And his nominal parents are also in the underworld.

Haruhiko didn't have much affection for them, since he had never met them before.

However, Tsuchimikado Mashiro, Yukihime, and the others certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

Therefore, we must save them.

Anyway, after so many years, any changes are normal.

Haruhiko doesn't need to worry about his identity being discovered.

The two people and one demon tamer returned to the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Although Kaneda Yu was dead, the Edo Archaeological Bureau was not paralyzed.

First, none of them knew.

Secondly, Jin Tianxiong doesn't usually pay much attention to them.

Haruhiko and Yukihime originally planned to return to the ground now, but were told that a new space passage would open tomorrow, so they could only rest for one night.

That's alright, they're not in a hurry anyway.

When night fell, Tsuchimikado Mashiro and the others returned to the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Hoshino Aoi's room.

Haruhiko knocked on the door and went in with Yukihime.

Besides Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru, there are Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari.

However, Haruhiko could tell that the expressions on the faces of the group were not good.

Was there no gain?

"How's it going?"
