In reality, the true mission of the Shrine Maiden Organization is to guard the passage of the Yamata no Orochi underground and protect this isolated continent.

--

"Their ability to resist is exceptionally strong. Although they don't have any particularly strong generals, their overall strength is very high. They have already launched several attacks against us."

When Lin Qi arrived outside the Witch Agency's headquarters, he found that an encirclement had been set up, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. However, the encirclement looked rather desolate at that moment.

Sophia, who was in charge of this area, appeared before Lin Qi with signs of battle and a greatsword in hand, and explained the reason for the situation.

Initially, no one took the Shrine Maiden Organization seriously. After all, they had been content with their small territory for years, showing no ambition whatsoever, which led to their underestimation. However, this time, they truly surprised everyone! While the Shrine Maiden Organization lacked renowned generals like Uesugi Kenshin and Yamamoto Isoroku, their overall strength was formidable. Despite their individual weaknesses, the Shrine Maiden Organization nearly broke through Sophia and her group's encirclement through sheer collective power!

Lin Qi wasn't particularly surprised by this situation. The Shrine Maiden Organization housed a large number of beautiful women, and all the shrine maidens wore the same flowing robes, attracting many talented individuals...

In short, the shrine maiden fan groups who come from all over Japan are a group of fanatics who are infatuated with the flowing shrine maiden outfits, no less so than those crazy star chasers.

"Never underestimate the power of fans. Just wait here."

Lin Qi waved to the group that had followed him into the Shrine of ...

"I never expected that Lin Qi, the new head of the Oda clan who laid out plans for the entire continent and unified it overnight, would be so young."

Lin Qi's path into the shrine was extremely smooth. Originally, Lin Qi had hoped that some ignorant person would come and let him show off, bah, let him establish his authority, but it seemed that everyone had received an order. They just stared at Lin Qi fiercely, but still made way for him to enter the shrine.

When Lin Qi entered the shrine, Natori was sitting upright in the position of the priest facing the door. He gave Lin Qi a deep look and sighed softly.

Given the current situation on the mainland, even the slowest person can see what's going on. However, Natori did not expect Lin Qi to be so young, looking only sixteen years old. Putting aside the other effects of divine power, his maintenance is definitely top-notch.

Lin Qi glanced at the long table in front of Natori and immediately laughed. Instead of praying to the gods, he sat down opposite her as if they were old friends and began to sized up Natori.

Natori has long, ice-blue hair with bangs that make people want to complain. Her eyes always look like she hasn't woken up yet, and her ice-blue pupils reveal a faint sense of nobility and indifference. She wears a shrine maiden outfit that is elegant and appropriate, and her whole body exudes an aura of cold arrogance that keeps people at a distance.

"Should one seek a marriage partner, or leave it to fate?"

Natori nodded to Lin Qi and pushed a bucket of bamboo slips in front of him. Everyone who comes to the shrine draws a fortune slip.

“I don’t believe in fate. What’s meant to be mine will be mine, and what isn’t, I’ll find a way to make it mine. I don’t believe in destiny either. There’s an old saying: ‘My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.’ I just wanted to test my fortune.”

Lin Qi shook his head, but still picked up the bamboo tube and gently shook it.

As the bamboo tube shook, the ground began to glow faintly, and soon the entire shrine began to tremble!

Natori's fortune-telling ceremony is actually a purification ritual! It can absorb the negative thoughts in a man's mind, and the current scene shows that Lin Qi's negative thoughts are about to explode!

"Such strong fortune! Such strong... evil intent! No! Could this level of evil intent be... you are..."

Natori's calm expression finally showed a hint of surprise and shock. Soon, the evil thoughts revealed by Lin Qi had already exceeded Natori's comprehension! And at this moment, the bamboo tube in Lin Qi's hand had not yet been shaken! Soon, an enlightenment flashed through Natori's mind!

As a shrine maiden, Natori vaguely guessed Lin Qi's true identity!

"Mortal purification rituals are probably not enough to purify me. I am the god of deception, in charge of lies and deception. I have come here to subdue the Yamata no Orochi."

Lin Qi didn't hide anything. He hadn't been able to show off on the way here, so it was time to do it. He immediately revealed his identity and purpose.

Immediately, Natori revealed an even more shocked expression!

For many years, the Shrine Maiden Organization has been guarding the Yamata no Okami, relying on offering human sacrifices to appease the serpent's boundless rage.

Lady Natori, as the current leader, has witnessed countless innocent women lose their chastity and then their lives for the safety of Japan… As someone who has been through it all, she appears calm on the surface, but deep down she feels helpless. She knows all too well that pushing her disciples and followers into Orochi's jaws is merely a temporary measure; however, in her mind, Orochi is beyond human control, and for the safety of this land, only the least sacrifice can bring about a short period of peace.

At this moment, Lin Qi revealed his identity and goals, how could she not be shocked and moved! A feeling of relief welled up inside her! Although Lin Qi's divine position sounded very unreliable...

"I am willing to lend you a helping hand, sir!"

After the initial excitement and emotion, Natori immediately bowed respectfully to Lynch and offered to assist him.

Lin Qi nodded. It was indeed easy to talk to people with faith. He then added, "As a price, after the Yamata no Orochi is defeated, I hope that the Shrine Maiden Organization will be at my disposal, and you can become a priestess to spread my faith."

"I am willing!"

Natori agreed without hesitation. If Orochi were truly subdued, then the purpose of the Shrine Maiden Organization would cease to exist, and having faith in Lynch would be an acceptable thing!

"Open the snake hole."

Chapter 14 508

"That's it! That's the voice! My God! The temple really is here!"

After Lin Qi revealed his identity, Natori essentially surrendered, and the entire Shrine Maiden Organization was quickly brought under the control of Lin Qi's army.

After the snake cave opened, Lin Qi went deeper and deeper. As the temperature rose, he could faintly hear low and sharp roars.

Upon hearing this voice, Veris, who had been summoned by Lin Qi through a portal, immediately became excited.

When Veris provided information to Lynch, she thought he might not be able to find the temple, or it might take many years. But to her surprise, he found the temple's location on the very second day! This left Veris with mixed feelings—fear, shock, but overall, excitement and anticipation.

"We didn't see the temple, but the Yamata no Orochi was definitely inside, at least at the level of a false god."

After Veris confirmed the information, Akiyama Rinko quickly appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Qi and provided more detailed information. As a demon ninja who had mastered space-time ninjutsu, Akiyama Rinko's ability to gather intelligence was unmatched.

After receiving a positive answer, Lin Qi nodded to the people behind him.

A hint of excitement and anticipation lingered on everyone's faces as they dispersed. This time, almost all of Lin Qi's contractors had arrived, and a massive barrier composed of dozens of enormous magic arrays began to be rapidly completed under the command of Kaguya, the Dark Queen, and Aishu.

"As a god of this world, why do you not have a divine status? Without a divine status, how do you absorb the power of faith?"

While waiting, Lin Qi turned his attention to Veris. Although Veris had only been in Ai Xiu's hands for a day, Ai Xiu had basically figured her out. Although Veris was also a god, she did not have a divine spark within her, which made Lin Qi very puzzled about her existence.

Without a divine status, how can one store and use divine power?

"She is nothing but a man-made false god. Listen carefully, a false god, not a pseudo-god."

"Although she can use divine power, the divine power is not her own; she has to borrow it all from the god above her. If the god can lend it to her, he can also take it back. So her strength depends entirely on the god's mood. If the god does not lend her divine power, she is just an ordinary person with a rank but no real strength. Without a doubt, this is a very good way to control her apostles."

Veris clearly didn't know how to answer the question either, and just looked confused. Shyvana, who had been half-asleep absorbing the power of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, was now fully armored and ready for battle. At the same time, she answered Lynch's question.

In short, Veris was nothing more than a pool for collecting and releasing water.

After Shyvana explained it to him, Lynch suddenly understood. However, Shyvana then changed the subject and pointed out a great way to trick the god.

"However, now that she has fallen into your hands, even if the true god above her is unlucky, your dark source power can completely corrupt the divine power borrowed from her body and then feed it back. Dark source power is a power on the same level as the power of the main god, or even surpasses the power of the main god. The reason why the Dark Bible was sealed by the gods in the first place was because its corrupting power was too strong. Even the main god candidates became slaves of the Dark Bible after being corrupted by the dark source power."

Lin Qi's brows furrowed again. He hadn't expected the Dark Bible to have such a terrifying ability. Almost instantly, a series of despicable, shameless, insidious, and vile plans to swindle God took shape in Lin Qi's mind.

"The God-Locking Formation is complete and ready to begin at any time!"

Just as Lin Qi was refining his plan, news came from Ai Xiu's side that the debug version of the God-Locking Array, designed and set up by Lin Qi and his group of adventurers, was officially in operation!

"Let's go, let's see if we can have snake hot pot tonight."

Lin Qi smiled and took the lead towards the location of the Yamata no Orochi!

"These are..."

When the group arrived at the snake cave, the deepest part of the snake cave, they were immediately startled by the sight before them!

The eight-headed Yamata no Orochi was taking a nap in the cave. Only two of its eight heads were dancing wildly in the air. But this was not what really surprised everyone. What surprised everyone was that in the vast cave of the serpent's lair, there were beautiful young girls floating everywhere, their bodies emitting black mist!

"These are all the unyielding souls of the girls you sacrificed over the years. But now, they are all the serpent children of the Yamata no Orochi. Only by killing the Yamata no Orochi can they be freed."

Lin Qi casually revealed the identities of these girls. They were all puppets who survived only because of the Yamata no Okami. They were all girls from the Shrine Maiden Agency, but now their resentful souls were imprisoned in their bodies.

Looking at those familiar faces, Natori revealed a pained and guilty expression. As the current head of the Shrine Maiden Organization, Natori was also in great pain every time he personally pushed the disciples he had trained into the snake pit.

"Humans! You have completely crossed my line! Today, everyone here will die!"

The Yamata no Orochi naturally noticed Lin Qi and his group swaggering in, and one of its heads immediately roared at Natori and the others.

"Roar!"

However, the Yamata no Orochi had just finished roaring when it let out a painful scream.

"You're so weak. Are you really a sixth-tier pseudo-god?"

Lin Qi's figure had vanished from the spot, holding a sixth-tier dagger in each hand, the surface of the daggers covered with dark source power. He stood in front of the Yamata no Orochi, and the snake head that had just spoken out and made the harsh words had been cut off by Lin Qi and smashed on the ground in front of him!

With just one strike, Orochi was severely injured by Lin Qi!

"Roar! I'm going to kill you!"

The eight-headed serpent, which had been sleeping, suddenly stood up, its seven eyes fixed on Lin Qi, and it opened its mouth to bite Lin Qi fiercely!

"What's going on? So weak, yet I had to make such a big show of it. How boring."

Looking at the somewhat crazed Yamata no Orochi, Lin Qi muttered something with disappointment and disdain. This not-so-loud taunt only made Yamata no Orochi even angrier. Its seven mouths opened wide, and seven different beams of light began to converge in its mouths!

""

"Divine power fluctuations detected, confirmed as pseudo-god power. Absorption and conversion array activated!"

"Roar!"

"Magic circle damage rate 3%!! (MISSING), (MISSING) Absorption rate 84%!! (MISSING), (MISSING) Conversion rate 90%!! (MISSING), (MISSING) 26 modifiable items have been recorded!"

"Is that all? It didn't even reach the level of a trace of dark source power. How disappointing. Oh well, let's not waste any more time."

"Bastard! I'll kill you even if I'm found out!"

"hold head high!"

"Hehe, as expected, every false god has their own secrets. They even hid a head, a dragon's head, tsk tsk."

Chapter 15 509

The Yamata no Orochi was enraged upon hearing Lin Qi's mocking words, especially after Lin Qi had severed one of its heads in a single blow.

The Yamata no Orochi attacked in anger, raising its remaining seven heads high and opening its mouth wide, where seven different types of magic bullets condensed!
