I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

"At that very moment, a powerful force I had never felt before descended upon me."

"Compared to this power, even the gods of Kotoamatsukami are as insignificant as a speck of dust on a fingertip."

"At that moment, the sky before my eyes was torn apart like a curtain, and surging black fog poured out, engulfing me like a storm."

"The only color left in the world is the deep, dark abyss."

"Everything became quiet, as if it had stopped."

"In the darkness, only that sliver of light at the end was approaching me."

The description from Izanami caused Ebisu's eyes to slowly widen.

He had seen the same scene before.

That was the scene he witnessed ten years ago when he summoned the deity in the Netherworld.

Thinking of this, Ebisu couldn't help but speak.

"That"

“Yes, the divine being has descended.” Izanami nodded gently.

At this moment, Shiraki Shun, who had stepped aside and given his place to Izanami, glanced at the god beside him with slight surprise.

I never expected the gods to appear so casually.

After all, Ebisu spent thousands of years planning and decades collecting demonic power before finally summoning the gods.

Afterwards, he devoted himself to the task, spending ten years to finally obtain the right to have his wish granted by the gods.

The process was extremely arduous.

In contrast, Izanami was genuinely grieving for her child god and hoped that someone could lend a helping hand, at which point the god appeared on her own initiative.

The difference is considerable.

The reason why the god would appear in Ashihara on his own initiative

"Hmph, what's so strange about that, living being?"

Sensing Bai Mujun's strange gaze, the deity standing beside him let out a soft hum.

She then stretched out her arms and put them behind her head, a look of impatience on her little face.

"Since I am the god of the underworld, it is only natural that I would occasionally appear before the beings of this world to demonstrate my power and respond to their sincere and heartfelt prayers, isn't it?"

Seeing that Shiramu Jun's gaze remained unchanged, Shenming frowned, a hint of anger appearing on her pretty face.

She shook her little fist indignantly and argued angrily.

"It's really just to demonstrate my power, not because I'm too bored staying in the Netherworld that I'm showing myself!"

So, so...

"Stop looking at me with those strange eyes! If you keep doing that, I'm really going to get angry!"

"If I get angry, I will completely destroy Takamagahara—"

"Hey, did you hear me, you living being!"

I'm raising a god in Tokyo

Chapter 324 I will reflect on my actions

At this moment, Izanami's face seemed to possess a special attraction, drawing Ebisu's gaze away.

He never imagined that in the distant past, the other party had already seen the deity and made a wish.

So, what exactly was the wish she made?

The mere thought that arose in his mind caused Ebisu's body to tremble even more.

Looking at Ebisu's face full of resistance, Izanami's gaze seemed to waver for a moment.

But then she became absolutely determined.

She took a soft breath.

Her two delicate lips, however, seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds as they slowly parted.

She looked at Ebisu and said, word by word.

“I made a wish before the divine authority, hoping that she could save your life.”

"The divine deity granted my request and immediately bestowed its divine power to heal your nearly destroyed body—"

"Shut up, don't say another word!"

Ebisu, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly let out a huge roar, interrupting Izanami's words.

A layer of divine power quickly covered the remaining dozens of tentacles, making them incredibly sharp, and they pierced straight towards Izanami.

"Mother Goddess, be careful!"

Amaterasu Omikami, who was watching from the island, exclaimed in surprise.

In an instant, the tentacles transformed into sharp arrows that stopped in front of Izanami's neck, the dark, cold arrowheads appearing exceptionally sharp against her fair and delicate skin.

Unlike the thunderous roar, there was an uncontrollable look of fear in Ebisu's eyes.

This fear was a thousand times more terrifying than the gaping hole in his chest, or the life force he was losing.

It was a tremor from the depths of his soul, a sign that the beliefs that had sustained him for millennia were crumbling.

No, I can't believe it, it's a lie, everything she said was a lie!

Even a little evidence would be helpful in proving that she was lying!

At this moment, Ebisu stared intently into Izanami's eyes, trying to find a trace of panic within them.

However, Izanami did not react as he had expected.

She simply pursed her lips, her gentle eyes fixed on Ebisu.

He then gently shook his head.

This simple action caused more damage to Ebisu than the palm strike that the god had just delivered.

In an instant, Ebisu felt the world before him shatter into millions of pieces.

The tentacles fell to the ground again with a dull thud.

In his shattered vision, an uncontrollable roar of hatred trembled from his throat.

You said you made a wish to save my life.

"Wasn't it you who abandoned me, leaving me to drift alone in the ocean, enduring that torment worse than death?!"

The voice of hatred suddenly turned into a murmur.

Ebisu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, right, I see. Those were just excuses you used to brush me off."

"You're afraid I'll return from the underworld, that's why you're trying to eliminate my obsession!"

"Yes, that's right, that must be it."

"But you're wrong, you don't understand me at all."

"Whether it's surviving that desolate sea or finding a way to take revenge..."

"All along, all along"

"I, Ebisu, have relied solely on myself!!!"

The hoarse roar echoed throughout the entire Takamagahara.

Looking at Ebisu, who had fallen into madness, Izanami's eyes also showed a look of pain.

She pressed down on Ebisu's hand, about to speak and explain something.

"Hmph, all by yourself?"

"You ant, you really dare to say that."

At that moment, a clear but unusually cold voice rang out from behind Ebisu, instantly extinguishing Ebisu's anger.

Having failed to reason with Shiraki Shun, the god turned away angrily.

With puffed-up cheeks, she turned her attention to Ebisu, her spear pointing directly at him.

Do you really believe that the strength you've relied on all along has come from yourself?

She reached out and gently hooked her fingers.

In an instant, Ebisu felt the divine power within him begin to rapidly diminish.

As if the divine power within him was being drained away with the god's actions, an indescribable sense of weakness and deprivation welled up in his heart.

To Ebisu's astonishment, clusters of jet-black light, identical in color to the tentacles, emanated from his body.

It exudes a mysterious and terrifying aura, as if it contains boundless energy.

The moment these dark halos appeared, they immediately drifted toward the direction of the gods, attempting to penetrate the dark mist.

But the deity seemed to disregard it, waving her slender hand and sending it flying backward without any courtesy.

The halo paused for a moment, as if gazing resentfully at a deity, but could only reluctantly return to Ebisu's side and disappear from his body.

Seeing the utterly shocked Ebisu, the god instantly felt he had regained some ground and proudly puffed out his chest.

"That's right, these are also my power."

"Thanks to your words, I have finally remembered the reason for the power dissipation."

"Throughout these endless ages, I have been seeking the answer to a question."

"Are there any other beings in the Netherworld who can reach the level of this god?"

She pointed her finger at Ebisu.

“Ant, you were once one of the creatures that I believed had this potential.”

"Therefore, I have given you a trial to prevent other beings from interfering in your life."

"This power is the reason you were able to summon me, the God."
