I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

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] accurately slashed at the junction of the sword and flesh. The moment the Kusanagi Sword was separated from the body, the Orochi's regeneration speed came to an abrupt halt.

"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 ideas that "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 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...

Chapter 73: The Possibility of Negotiation?

Just when Su Nu thought he only needed to slowly accumulate power to overthrow this feudal era in one fell swoop, a proclamation denouncing Su Nu and his followers was delivered to him.

The content was nothing more than the government guarding the territory, upholding the law and keeping the people at peace, resisting the law and causing chaos in the village, those who were coerced into following the law could be pardoned, and the ringleaders would be executed. In short, it was about several major families joining forces to kill Su Nuo, who intended to rebel.

Upon seeing this manifesto, Su Nuo was initially bewildered. Although he did indeed intend to rebel, how did these powerful families know about it?

Until Tieping reminded him:

"My lord, your slaying of the Yamata no Orochi has made you famous. Besides us commoners, even the bureaucrats and nobles have taken notice of you."

"in this way?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nuo was instantly enraged. He slapped his thigh and said:

"By slaying the Yamata no Orochi, I protected them from its harm, but how long has it been? They already see me as an enemy. What a despicable act!"

Tie Ping smiled:

"They wrote at least one manifesto."

"........."

After hearing this, Su Nuo was silent for two seconds, then laughed in anger.

Immediately afterwards, Su Nuo began to consider the consequences of the government's attack on him. Those who followed him were almost powerless; they were just ordinary people who wanted to live a better life. Letting them live would only kill them.

So Su Nuo said to Tie Ping:

"Tell everyone about this and let them leave before the punitive force arrives. I cannot protect everyone."

Upon hearing this, Teppei was taken aback. He hadn't expected Su Nuo to make such a decision, but after regaining his composure, he still took the manifesto from Su Nuo's hand and gathered the people together.

Tieping read the contents of the proclamation aloud in detail. Considering that most of Su Nuo's followers were illiterate, he also translated it into plain language.

Upon learning of this, the crowd immediately descended into chaos. Those who had been chanting slogans the loudest a few days earlier chose to withdraw without hesitation when faced with the risk of death.

But many more chose to stay. They were grateful for Su Nuo's kindness and wished they could dedicate their lives to Su Nuo. They were willing to give everything for Su Nuo.

they said:

"Let us stay."

"If we leave, Lord Sukuna will have to fight alone again."

"We want to do something..."

Upon hearing these words, Tieping was completely dumbfounded. He had thought that these guys followed Su Nuo just for a full meal, but he didn't know that a full meal was the reason why people were willing to give their lives.

Su Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief upon learning of this. This incident made him realize that his path was not wrong, but when facing a well-trained army, this group of refugees and displaced people was clearly no match for them.

So Sukuna personally intervened and forcibly dispersed these guys. In order for them to leave willingly, Sukuna made a promise:

"I will definitely come back and lead you."

Thus, only Su Nuo and Teppei remained at the scene.

As Sukuna's first follower, Teppei held a very important place in Sukuna's heart. Before Teppei could speak, Sukuna took out the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, a divine artifact (a top-grade cursed item) obtained from the body of Yamata no Orochi, and placed it in Teppei's hand.

"This Kusanagi sword is what I obtained after slaying the Yamata no Orochi. With it, even an ordinary person can kill a demon. I'll keep it with you for now and come back to you after I've dealt with everything."

Upon hearing Su Nuo's words, Teppei couldn't help but look at the ancient longsword shrouded in mist in his hand. As one of the earliest followers of Su Nuo, he knew very well that these seemingly "deathbed instructions" were actually a declaration of victory before the battle.

Teppei gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly, then solemnly bowed to Sukuna:

"My lord, I will always wait for you."

Su Nuo smiled, said nothing, and watched as Tie Ping straightened up, turned around and left.

When Tieping turned around, Su Nuo was still waving at him.

Su Nuo's face darkened only after Teppei had completely disappeared from sight.

After slaying the Yamata no Orochi, Sukuna's magical power was mostly depleted and has not yet fully recovered. Facing the government's attack, he is unlikely to gain any advantage.

Therefore, Su Nuo's strategy is to first try to communicate and clear up misunderstandings, and at worst agree to a few minor conditions to get through this crisis first.

If negotiations break down, Su Nuo is capable of escaping. He doesn't believe that the government can keep him on the run for ten or twenty years if they can only keep him on the run for a year.

In conclusion, Sukuna has many ways to avoid conflict. Even with his great strength, he always adheres to nonviolent problem-solving when dealing with people.

Violence will only escalate conflicts and is therefore unacceptable.

Sukuna encountered the punitive force a day later. The reason it wasn't on the same day was because Sukuna wanted to recover as much of her magical power as possible.

Sukuna's appearance naturally alerted the expeditionary force. As a force composed of sorcerers, they could sense Sukuna's power, so upon seeing him, they immediately became extremely alert and prepared for battle.

Seeing this tense situation, Su Nuo quickly raised all four hands to show that he meant no harm, saying:

"Gentlemen, I'm not here to fight. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us... I'd like to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, the sorcerers exchanged glances, their wariness undiminished.

Obviously, such words coming from the mouth of a four-eyed, four-armed monster are completely unconvincing.

And because Sukuna caused a commotion when he appeared, it naturally attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief of the punitive expedition. He was a man wearing red armor, with a big belly, and his weapon was a katana.

Upon seeing Su Nuo, he frowned:

"You came to our door without waiting for us to find you? Are you so eager to die?"

Su Nuo quickly waved his hand in response:

"It's not what you think. I just feel that this campaign is a bit strange. There must be some misunderstanding between us. Can you give me a chance?"

"Chance?"

The pot-bellied general sneered, his words leaving no room for negotiation:

"What misunderstanding is there? You incited the masses and intended to rebel. This is something the whole world knows. How can it be considered a misunderstanding?"

Su Nuo asked:

"Then what do you mean?"

"Since you have shown yourself, it has saved us some trouble. In that case, I shall obey your orders and kill you."

The pot-bellied general drew his katana, assumed a fighting stance, as if he were about to launch an attack at any moment.

Su Nuo wanted to continue trying:

"You should think this through. I killed the Yamata no Orochi all by myself. With your help, let alone kill me, who can stop me if I want to leave?"

The general revealed a sinister smile:

"Are you really going to leave? I mean, your followers are in my hands. If you dare to leave, they will die."

As soon as the general finished speaking, several civilians were brought forward by the sorcerer. Most of them were injured and covered in bloodstains.

The general smiled and said:

"I don't know what kind of sorcery you used on them. No matter how we interrogate them, they refuse to reveal any information. Tsk, a monster like you really shouldn't exist in this world."

Seeing the miserable state of his followers, Su Nuo's pupils contracted. Things had come to this point, and saying anything soft and weak would only make things worse. He had to do something.

Su Nuo's face darkened:

“To be my enemy will be the most foolish decision of your lives.”
