Occasionally, he would raise his head and steal a glance at the scene in the hall, his expression strangely indescribable.

This god of the underworld

Is it really as Amaterasu described, an extremely dangerous and untouchable being?

Why doesn't it seem quite right?

At this moment, the god, having suppressed his terrifying aura, crawled into the kotatsu as if no one else was around.

Her slender arms rested under her chin, and her eyes sparkled as she watched the program that Shiraki Jun had pre-recorded on the screen.

Meanwhile, Shiraki Shun stood quietly by his side, waiting patiently.

The scene was very harmonious.

Looking at the scene before her, Izanami's eyes twitched slightly.

Such an atmosphere

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the other side came specifically to destroy Takamagahara, right?

Rather, it's more like a child who has just come home, cherishing the time they've managed to get to watch TV from their parents, unwilling to waste a single second.

Thinking of this, Izanami couldn't help but clutch the hem of her robe.

Could it be that things aren't as bad as they seem, and there's still room for maneuver?

Perhaps Takamagahara doesn't need to confront this invincible god directly?

What exactly is Priest Shiraki planning?

Soon, the image on the screen froze.

The deity blinked, seemingly unsatisfied, and pouted, expressing some regret.

"Hmph, is that all?"

"Even if it's just some petty consideration, it's still a pity to destroy it like this."

"Never mind, having this god witness it is already an immense honor."

The next moment, the look in her eyes changed.

As he stood up, an extremely deep halo rose from beneath his feet.

That immense, suffocating pressure returned and once again filled the hall.

In fact, it has become even more outrageous.

At this moment, the god completely ignored Izanami, who was prostrate on the ground, her face pale and her body trembling uncontrollably.

His gaze fell on Shiramu Jun, and he asked with great interest.

"Now, it's time to fulfill that ant's wish."

"Living beings, even if I didn't say anything, you would still try to interfere with me, wouldn't you?"

"Why don't we try it here?"

"If you can please me now, then I might show leniency and allow this world to exist for just a moment longer—"

Upon hearing the god's words, Shiramu Jun smiled slightly.

He gazed into the god's eyes and spoke softly, as if asking a question at a shrine as he always did.

"My Lord God, you once said that you were tired of the same old destruction, weren't you?"

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

The deity's gaze revealed a hint of wariness.

Her past experiences were still vivid in her mind, serving as a reminder.

This creature is very special.

I absolutely cannot be careless!

Shiraki Shun smiled.

“Since the gods are tired of destruction, I have a suggestion.”

"This time, please, Your Majesty, watch from the sidelines and do not intervene."

"Let Takamagahara and the Netherworld each send out their representatives and let them decide the winner based on their own strength."

"What does Your Majesty think?"

In an instant, the aura emanating from the deity suddenly became fierce.

In an instant, countless cracks tore through the space, revealing the darkness within to Shiraki Jun without any concealment.

It seems that with just a single thought, one could banish them to eternal nothingness.

At the same time, the god's tone became incredibly cold.

"Life form, are you showing contempt for the Netherworld?"

"No, it's just about trying to gain a sliver of a chance of victory," Shiraki Jun explained.

"If the gods were to intervene, there would be no hope of a turn of events."

"This time, let's consider it a challenge that Takamagahara is launching against the Netherworld."

"If Takamagahara loses, then the gods of Takamagahara will be left to the gods to deal with."

"If Takamagahara wins, then please, God, abandon your plan to help Ebisu fulfill his wish."

"What does Your Majesty think?"

Hearing Bai Mujun's explanation, the god's anger subsided slightly.

The cracks around Shiramu Jun disappeared, and he grumbled.

"Hmph, living beings. Don't think I'm unaware."

"In such a short time, those ants from Takamagahara simply cannot recover from the attack by the ghostly entities I sent last time."

"And each of these spirits evolved from a world destroyed by this god, and through this god's grace, regained the opportunity to glimpse the truth."

"With the resurrection of this god, they will also regain their former power."

"Therefore, living beings, do not be too complacent."

"Even if I, the god, do not intervene, you alone cannot withstand the accumulation of countless years of the Netherworld—"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood," Bai Mujun interrupted gently.

"Since the deity is not going to take action, then I will not take action either."

"The fate of Takamagahara will be in their own hands."

The god was taken aback upon hearing this.

She stared at Shiramu Jun, as if his words had piqued her interest.

"You want those ants to face the Netherworld themselves?"

“Interesting creatures, this certainly piques my interest.”

"Very well, being, I accept your challenge."

"I'd like to see how those ants can possibly contend with the Netherworld?"

"Since you're saying that, you must have already chosen someone, right?"

“Yes,” Shiramu Jun nodded.

"Oh, who is it?" the god asked, raising an eyebrow.

Before Bai Mujun could answer, she changed her tone and waved her hand confidently.

"Well, even if you don't say it, I can guess it."

"Presumably, it's what I know, right?"

Through the perspective of that ghostly body, the gods naturally knew as well.

Currently, there are only a handful of gods in the entire Takamagahara region who still possess fighting power.

Amaterasu, Hanekawa Arashi, Susanoo, Izanagi, Izanami

"Yes, the deity guessed correctly," Bai Mujun nodded in affirmation.

The deity smugly put his hands on his hips.

Hmph, just as I predicted—

"The one who will represent Takamagahara in the battle is a Japanese monster."

In an instant, the god's smug expression froze on the little face.

She stared up at Bai Mujun, dumbfounded and incredulous.

monster?

Those monsters that are not even as good as ants in the higher realms of Amagahara!?

Using these monsters to fight against the Netherworld?

Living beings, you, you, you

You still say you didn't underestimate the Netherworld!

The god gritted his teeth in hatred, and it took him a long time to barely suppress the anger in his heart.

"Living beings, is this the possibility of victory you speak of?"

"If your goal was to provoke me, then you have succeeded."

"But now, I've changed my mind."

"Even if you lose, aside from wiping out those ants and destroying this world, I will spare your life."

"I will spend countless years to come judging you for your transgression against the Netherworld!"

“Then, Your Majesty, it’s a deal.” Upon hearing the god’s words, Bai Mujun smiled.

"Hmph." The god turned his head away indignantly.
