From the World Tree, I learned about many stories of humans killing gods in the myths and legends of this world, and even that a great war between ordinary people and superhumans was taking place in South America.

hum~

A purple divine halo appeared behind Yae no Miko's head.

"My Lord, but you haven't been reborn yet. Will giving me this power have any effect on you?"

Raiden Shin shook his head: "There will definitely be some impact, but this is an order, Divine Child, obey."

"Yes... Lord Shin." The hearts of the familiars and the gods are connected. Yae no Miko knew that Lord Shin was worried about her, and her eyes were red, as if she wanted to cry.

As a member of Thor's family, she hadn't felt any love from her master for five hundred years. This reclusive girl, Thor, created a puppet and hid away, ignoring her, his family member, and she had suffered injustice for five hundred years.

Yae no Miko felt dizzy. When she regained consciousness, she was still in the shrine's inner courtyard. The connection between her body and the gods became clearer. Looking at the small mirror on the table, she saw a ring of divine power behind her head, unique to the God of Thunder.

Once she activates the 'Ring of God', the Ring of God will unleash divine power, and she can use divine power to cast spells, which will be amplified a hundredfold or a thousandfold.

At that moment, the sound of a car could be heard outside the shrine, along with the scents of Chitose and Orange.

"Wow, so fast, they're already here." Yae no Miko snapped out of her daze, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the temple with a calm expression. The 'Divine Ring' behind her head activated, and a faint divine aura belonging to the God of Thunder emanated from her.

Suddenly, the sky above Inaba Shrine darkened, forming a patch of dark clouds, and purple lightning flashed across it.

Rumble!!!

Chapter 105: Rule the Mortal World, Multiple God-Level Heroic Spirits Drop High-Level Divine Weapons

Dark clouds spread outwards from Inaba Shrine, purple lightning churning within them, and thunder roared incessantly, as if the gods in the heavens were enraged.

"Huh? A thunderstorm? How scary!"

"What's going on in the sky? The weather forecast clearly said there would be no rain!"

"So much lightning! I've never seen weather like this before!"

"Quickly bring in the laundry!"

"Quickly find a place to shelter from the rain."

People all over Tokyo couldn't help but look up at the sky, their expressions ranging from surprise and panic to fear, especially the timid ones.

Even though they grew up in countries with frequent earthquakes, typhoons, and thunderstorms, they had never seen thunderclouds like these before, and they could imagine that a super heavy rainstorm was coming.

In what was once a bustling and vibrant city, people could be seen hurrying along in every street and alley, searching for places to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, all the black cars that had arrived in front of Inaba Shrine with excitement and fervor came to a stop. The price of any one of these cars was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even if an ordinary family worked for three generations without eating or drinking, they still couldn't afford one.

At this moment, the excitement on the faces of the various gods and palace officials inside the car turned into fear. They stared blankly at the sky outside the car window. They froze, their hands on the door handles, ready to get out of the car. Their whole bodies were trembling.

An unprecedented sense of oppression reached their very souls, causing them to lose control of their bodies. They were just ordinary people who had never even experienced the oppression of superhumans. It was quite a feat that they didn't wet themselves in the face of divine power.

They watched as purple lightning suddenly appeared above the shrine, followed by thunderclouds spreading in all directions until the entire sky was shrouded in them, with only a sliver of sunlight visible on the distant horizon.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the entire Tokyo metropolis has been covered by thunderclouds. Tokyo is a megacity with a total area of ​​2,000 square kilometers, ranking among the top five in the world in terms of urban area.

Rumble rumble rumble—

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, fell from the sky and struck directly in front of the torii gate of Inaba Shrine, but it did not damage any of the buildings.

"Did we offend the gods without knowing it?" The shrine maiden of Ise Shrine looked tremblingly at the two seemingly calm female messengers sitting to the side.

Inaba Chitose snapped out of her daze and said coldly, "I don't know... Lord Yaehime has been waiting for a long time. It would be offensive if we didn't go soon."

Wow! Is the Eightfold Lord really this powerful? The entire sky is covered by thunderclouds.

She had imagined that Yata no Higanbana, as a subordinate god of the Thunder God, would be very powerful, but she never expected him to be this powerful, even more powerful than the high-ranking gods she had imagined.

I am just an ordinary priestess, and I have no idea how powerful Lord Thor is.

In mythology, the gods of the heavens are the embodiment of the rules of the world.

The thousand-year-old's cheeks flushed. The more powerful the god she worshipped, the more glorious it was for her to be a priestess. Of course, she also had to reflect on her own words and deeds and always maintain the dignity of the god.

Now she understood why the important figures at the 'Shrine Headquarters' were so obsequious to her and her sister. Their status had changed because of Yae no Mikoto; they were now extremely honored, and this honor came from the mercy of the deity they were worshipped.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The Ise Shinto priest raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, hurriedly opened the car door and got out, his legs trembling as he walked forward.

Not only him, but the chief priest of the Amamiya family and the shrine maiden of the Inari family were also trembling under the divine power. The priestesses they brought were also trembling under the divine power. The chief priest of the Mimi family was supported by an eleven-year-old boy.

"The divine power of Lord Takemikazuchi! My Mimi family has worshipped Lord Takemikazuchi for over seven hundred years, and finally, we have witnessed Lord Takemikazuchi descending to the mortal world!" The Mimi family chief priest was so excited that he almost fainted.

Hibiki whispered, "Mom, hurry up and follow them. Don't keep the gods waiting." After saying that, she looked up at the thunder and lightning in the sky. Although her body was trembling, her eyes were full of fervent faith.

The other priests and officials looked at the mother and son with envy and jealousy. Why wasn't it their own gods who came to the mortal world?

Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka took a deep breath, their hearts pounding, placed their hands on their abdomens, and bowed slightly towards the torii gate, indicating that they were about to lead people into the 'divine realm'.

Behind the torii gate lies the 'divine realm' where the gods reside. In the past, this was not a problem, but now that the shrine houses real gods, the rituals must be performed flawlessly without any omissions, otherwise it would be considered disrespectful to the gods.

Everyone behind the two sisters bowed deeply to express their reverence for the gods, and then followed them into the shrine.

Ta-da!

As soon as the group entered the shrine, they heard the crisp sound of wooden clogs hitting the ground. A stunningly beautiful fox spirit dressed in a somewhat unconventional shrine maiden outfit emerged from the main hall.

Her long pink hair reached her waist, and a pair of pink fox ears adorned the sides of her head. Her purple eyes glowed with light, and a purple halo around the back of her head accentuated her divine aura. The oppressive aura of a god was overwhelming, like the embodiment of thunder from the heavens.

"Ho-"

The various gods, palace officials, and priests seemed to forget to breathe. Their bodies, which had been trembling under the divine might, went limp and collapsed to their knees with a thud, their bodies bent over and their heads hitting the ground.

"Greetings to the Heian Fox God, Lord Yashinori!" ×n.

Even the subordinate gods of Takaten Shōjin possess such unimaginable divine power; Takaten Shōjin himself and the others could not even fathom how awe-inspiring his divine power truly was.

The gods of the heavens are all great deities born from creation myths. Creating islands and stirring up world-destroying waves in myths and legends is probably just a casual gesture for them.

"Greetings, Lord Yaehime." Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka also knelt down immediately and said respectfully.

"Alright, alright, you two did very well. You don't need to kneel down all the time anymore. Come to my side." Yae no Miko gracefully stepped forward.

"Yes." Inaba Chitose and Inaba Touka stood up and came to stand on either side of Yae no Miko, their hands clasped together in their sleeves, their heads bowed, as if they were servants beside two gods.

In Shintoism, female priestesses are servants of the gods.

"Gulp~"

The priests and priests kneeling in front of the main shrine couldn't help but swallow hard; their clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but they felt incredibly honored.

Being able to kneel before a true deity signifies their status and position; priestesses of ordinary status are not even qualified to enter the shrine gate.

"Are you the priests who enshrine the various gods in the major shrines of Japan?" Yae no Miko looked at these people calmly. Although they were not particularly evil, they were basically mediocre people.

This is the perspective she gained after living for five hundred years and serving as the priestess of Narukami Shrine for five hundred years, seeing countless humans. She can basically discern a person's life story at first glance.

"Yes, Lord Hachine, the Fox God of Heian, please forgive us that the heads of the various Shinto shrines are not all present. They are mainly in other cities and regions and cannot arrive in a short time." The head of the Ise Grand Shrine's voice trembled. He had spoken with a god! He was definitely the first person in the hundreds of years of Ise Grand Shrine to speak with the true form of a god.

Although Ise Grand Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, Takemikazuchi is also a deity second only to Amaterasu Omikami, and in a sense, conversing with her subordinate deities is also conversing with Takemikazuchi.

"It is indeed difficult for you to have the heads of all the major Shinto shrines come to pay homage in such a short time, but I must say you have managed this country very well," Yae no Miko said with a smile, as if she were praising them, but her tone carried the cunning unique to foxes.

She doesn't have the same protectiveness towards the people of this country as the Inazuma humans, so if she teases them a little, Lord Tenri probably won't blame her.

"You flatter me." The Ise Shrine Master was thrilled, but before he could get excited, he was startled by Yae no Miko's next words and turned pale.

"Oh~ So you think I was praising you?" Yae no Miko sneered mockingly.

"Huh?" The Ise Shrine Master, his face pale, slightly raised his head.

"Do you, the leaders who govern this country, treat the people of this country as your subjects, or as slaves to be used as resources?" Yae no Miko said, walking up to the head priest of Ise Shrine with her hands behind her back. The sound of her wooden clogs hitting the ground seemed to strike the hearts of all of them like a heavy hammer.

"Well done! You are indulging in extravagance and power, and every aspect of your daily lives is imbued with the blood of your people."

"It's not just domestically; the wars over the past few centuries have killed countless ordinary civilians. Daughters of commoners were even given to soldiers of other tribes for their amusement, yet you, the culprits, still hold high positions."

"Tsk tsk tsk, even the highest god couldn't stand what you've done, and my master admires you greatly~"

Yae no Miko's smiling words made all the kneeling people break out in a cold sweat, trembling like quails.

She genuinely admired the country's leadership. Other countries didn't have direct divine intervention, but this country's Heavenly Justice insisted on direct divine management, which showed that even the Heavenly Justice couldn't stand their actions and was therefore furious.

"Alright, now you're allowed to refute me."

Everyone fell silent, too terrified to answer.

Even the supreme deity couldn't stand it anymore. Which supreme deity was it? Amaterasu Omikami? Izanagi, the father of all gods? Or perhaps the creator god, Ame no Minakata?

Finally, the current chief priest of the Mimi family, Mimi Ryanako, spoke with trembling lips.

"No, that's not how it is. Lord Ya, I, most of our Shinto families have never directly participated in wars, nor have we treated the people of the country as expendable resources or slaves."

"These things are all done by political families and local nobles. We Shintoists only manage shrines and promote culture."

The Mimi family had indeed not participated in the war, and some of the political and business figures who were close to them were neutral or opposed. They had even supported an anti-war politician to become prime minister, although the prime minister was eventually ousted from office.

"Hehe..." The Ise Shrine Master couldn't control his fear and made a sound. His Ise family had supported the war during World War II and had even sent priests and Onmyoji to assist the military. They had even devised an Onmyoji technique to sever the dragon vein of the great nation across the sea.

"Oh~ So the gods have wronged you? Then I'll have to ask them about it properly," Yae no Miko said leisurely.

These words sounded to them like a guillotine hovering over their heads.

Offending one god might mean being protected by others, but offending all the gods will likely mean your soul is banished, and you won't even be able to go to the underworld, let alone be reborn.

"No, no, please, Lord Fox God! Some families of Shintoism did indeed do it, and we are willing to accept the punishment of the gods!" The lord of Ise Shrine could no longer hold back his emotions, tears streaming down his face, and he kept kowtowing.

Although the international community has been condemning Japan, they haven't taken it seriously. They only think they've lost and don't think they've done anything wrong.

But if all the gods in the heavens say you're wrong, how can you say you're not wrong? That's a judgment, not an accusation.

"You guys don't know you're wrong, you know the guillotine is about to fall on your heads," Yae no Miko said with a smile. Looking at this group of people who looked like they had lost their mothers, she was extremely happy. Look at this group of people—in the end, they were killed by their own inflated desires.

"Of course, I didn't say I'd punish you immediately; you're still somewhat useful."

"Because of what you have done, the gods in heaven have decided to take direct control of the country."

"The supreme deity appointed Lord Mitakenami Omiko to descend to the mortal world and rule over everything."

"Lord Mitake Narukami will be making his grand entrance into Japan in five days."

“Take the oracle back and tell it to everyone who holds power in this country.”

"You may try to challenge the divine might of the gods, and use all your weapons, but all those who challenge the authority of the gods will be wiped out along with their families, and not a single bloodline descendant will be left. Be prepared, greedy, extravagant humans."

When Yae no Miko got to this point, her voice had become very cold.

The considerations of the master are not without reason. Humans can really go crazy for power, desire, and money, even to the point of challenging the authority of the gods. Not to mention here, the gods of Inazuma are still there. Those noble families have made a mess of Inazuma and even tried to unite to hinder Narukami Taisha.
