I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.

The Yamata no Orochi is a product of humanity's collective fear of ancient floods, giant serpents, and calamities in the deep mountains. It has eight heads and eight tails, and is as large as a mountain. It was the strongest curse in the Heian period and earlier, and the first king of curses.

What did its existence bring? Calamity, death, and fear; the collapse of faith; and the terror of countless civilians. It was for this reason that Sukuna, whom the people called the "Demon of Buddha," decided to slay it…

The battle took place in a valley shrouded in torrential rain. The Yamata no Orochi's massive body, which blotted out the sky, swept across the land, its eight heads spewing poisonous mist and torrents, turning everything in its path into swamps.

Sukuna stood on a large, protruding rock. Without any hesitation, the moment he saw the Yamata no Orochi, he raised his hand and activated the spell [Dispel].

Several invisible slashes flew out.

However, as the strongest monster of this era, Yamata no Orochi had an extremely powerful defense. The invisible slashes only left shallow white marks on the snake's body, almost like a tickle.

The Yamata no Orochi didn't even bother to dodge; it met the attack head-on, its eight tails slamming down on Sukuna.

Sukuna narrowly dodged, but the rocks beneath his feet were smashed into powder. Seizing the opening in the Yamata no Orochi's attack, Sukuna leaped directly onto the serpent's body. The moment he made contact with it, he activated the technique [8].

With his palm pressed tightly against the snake scales, the power output of his spells was automatically adjusted according to the opponent's hardness.

Cut in two with one stroke.

The grotesque snake head was completely severed and fell to the bottom of the valley.

The pain drove the Yamata no Orochi to let out a deafening roar, but Sukuna remained unmoved.

He spread out all four arms at the same time, using the spell [8] to launch a continuous slashing attack around his body. In an instant, snake scales flew and the snake tail broke off.

To inflict even greater damage, Su Nuo activated the [Open] technique through the wound, instantly pouring scorching flames into the snake's body.

However, the Yamata no Orochi's regeneration speed was beyond Sukuna's imagination; its head regenerated at an astonishing rate as soon as it was severed.

At the same time, the other seven snake heads turned towards Su Nuo, and a poisonous mist powerful enough to corrode steel was immediately spewed out.

As Su Nuo covered his body with slashes to form a defense, he realized that the scattered slashes were not enough to suppress the mythical creature with terrifying regenerative abilities in front of him.

At this moment, he remembered when he was five years old, three slashes landed on the same spot on the snake demon's body, cutting open the scales of the thousand-year-old demon.

[Focusing on one point, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes]

Then Su Nuo smiled, simultaneously forming the Yama Heavenly Seal with all four arms, and whispered:

"Domain expansion".

As soon as the words fell, the land within a radius of two hundred meters centered on Su Nuo turned into corpses and bones. On the mountain of corpses behind Su Nuo, a shrine made of flesh and blood stood tall.

[Enchantment: Master Chef]

Within this vast, guaranteed-hit area, all living beings automatically bear the [8], and all non-living beings automatically bear the [relief]. The slashing will not stop until everything perishes and the power of the curse is exhausted.

By using the constraint of "giving the opponent a glimmer of hope," Sukuna gains a guaranteed hit range far exceeding the norm.

True hell has descended.

Thousands upon thousands of invisible slashes poured down like a storm, turning the entire space into an ocean of strikes.

Although Yamata no Orochi's regeneration speed is fast, it cannot keep up with the frequency of its slashes.

No matter how many regenerate, the slash will arrive as scheduled.

But to think that you can actually kill Yamata no Orochi with just that is utter nonsense.

However, Sukuna did not regret his attempt to defeat Yamata no Orochi. He dared to come not only because he was full of passion, but also because he had an exceptional understanding of Yamata no Orochi.

When he was a child, he heard from Amelia the story of Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi with the Totsuka Blade, and the Ame-no-Murakumo sword at the tail was the core of Yamata no Orochi's power.

However, this world has neither Susanoo nor Totsuka Blade, only... Ryoumen Sukuna.

Sukuna locked his gaze on the fourth tail of the Yamata no Orochi, and instantly appeared behind the tail. He then unleashed an infinite number of [8] attacks at a frequency far exceeding the Yamata no Orochi's regeneration speed.

Almost the instant the spell was activated, the hardest scales of the Yamata no Orochi turned to dust, revealing an ancient longsword beneath—the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

Seeing this, Sukuna's slashes did not stop at all. Under his control, [Kai] and [Ba] slashed precisely at the junction of the sword and flesh. The moment the Kusanagi Sword was ripped off, the Orochi's regeneration speed came to an abrupt halt.

"It's a success!"

Su Nuo was overjoyed and quickly drew the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, pushing the frequency of his attacks within the domain to its limit.

Under the endless slashes, the mountain-sized body of Orochi exploded into a cloud of blood mist, which mixed with the raging wind and rain and sprinkled on the shattered battlefield.

The rain did not stop. On the battlefield, riddled with holes from the slashing, Sukuna stood on the corpse of the Yamata no Orochi, examining the divine weapon in his hand, and let out a long sigh.

"From this day forward, there will be no more Yamata no Orochi."

Having said this, Su Nuo did not linger there. Slaying the Yamata no Orochi was not the first step. Monsters eat people, and the nobles of this era also eat people.

He still has more to do...

As the strongest yokai of this era, the news of Yamata no Orochi's slaying by Sukuna spread rapidly.

Su Nuo's reputation soared, and many common people discovered this "Buddha's Ghost" who rid the people of harm. After learning about his philosophy of "everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, everyone has a house to live in, everyone has something to do, and everyone has books to read," the number of his followers reached an unprecedented level.

For Sukuna, this was undoubtedly a good thing, but for the nobles and rulers, Sukuna was a huge threat at this moment.

First, Sukuna possesses the exaggerated combat power to slay the Yamata no Orochi. Second, he constantly spreads falsehoods and has gained many followers. With these two things combined, isn't he a traitor?

Faced with such a threat, the major families could no longer sit idly by. Led by the Fujiwara, Sugihara, and Abe families, they assembled their forces and decided to launch a siege against Sukuna.

Among the forces surrounding Sukuna, the Fujiwara clan's two main direct forces, the Five Void Generals, were the main force, while the Sun and Moon Stars Force, led by Uruko, was responsible for carrying out the decapitation strike when Sukuna was exhausted.

Sukuna, who slew the Yamata no Orochi, was completely unaware of this...

At this moment, Sukuna sat by the campfire, surrounded by his followers. Listening to the crackling of the flames, Sukuna, answering their curious questions, recounted the details of his battle with Yamata no Orochi:

"...This is the strongest opponent I have ever encountered. Even though I knew its weakness, I used almost all of my magical power, but it was undoubtedly worth it."

The firelight cast a golden glow on Su Nuo's face. Looking at the group of people around him who were willing to follow him, he said:

"Monsters eat people, and nobles eat people too. I can help you kill the monsters, but if we want to deal with the nobles, we all have to unite."

No matter how small the force, as long as we unite as one, we can hang all the nobles together on the city wall.

We must make those nobles understand that the progress of the times is irreversible, and they must yield to it for the sake of universal harmony!

As these words fell, Teppei cheered. Although he initially followed Sukuna only because of his character, the longer he spent with Sukuna, the more fascinated he became.

Powerful strength, advanced ideas... This is not a monster, nor a demon, but a savior.

As Tieping was the first to speak, the people surrounding the bonfire erupted in unison in agreement, and these voices were so pleasing to Su Nuo's ears...
