Amidst bloodshed and death, a deathly silence fell over the entire arena. Later, regarding the Orochi's takeover of the Panxing Cult, the survivors unanimously voted in favor…

Chapter 122: Announcing the Arrival of God

After Orochi took over the Panxing Cult, the entire cult existed for him. Because he descended into a clone, Orochi could not gain modern common sense like other sorcerers who were resurrected through flesh.

Thus, the Panxing Cult became the stepping stone for the Great Serpent to understand this era. The more he understood humanity, the stronger his desire to eliminate them became.

After thousands of years of development, humanity's destruction of harmony and order has far surpassed that of yokai (cursed spirits). The great serpent, which exists to maintain harmony and order, desperately wants to reduce humanity, but:

The serpent did not hate humans. All he did was try to restore humans to a balance with all things. He did not want to kill innocent people, so he set his sights on sorcerers.

In this world, monsters were born from a curse. To completely eliminate monsters, all humans would have to be killed, but that is not what the Great Serpent wants to see.

His idea was to eliminate the powerful sorcerers and monsters, and achieve a balance between humans and monsters, just like the balance between humans and nature.

How should powerful sorcerers and yokai be defined? Orochi didn't know, so he sought out Kentaro, a high-ranking member of the Panxing Cult, and learned from him the ranking system for yokai and sorcerers.

From lowest to highest, they are level four, level three, level two, level one, and special level.

To put it simply, Level 4 is equivalent to an ordinary person holding a wooden stick or a short knife, Level 3 is equivalent to an ordinary person holding a conventional pistol, Level 2 is equivalent to an ordinary person holding a rifle or machine gun, Level 1 is equivalent to an ordinary person driving a main battle tank, and Level 3 is equivalent to an ordinary person flying a bomber.

This explanation would be easy for any modern person to understand, but Orochi is not a modern person. He had no idea what guns, tanks, and bombers were, so he kept asking questions until Kenshiro explained it to him, and then he intuitively understood what these classifications represented.

After some deliberation, the serpent finally devised a purging plan: to eliminate all level one and above cursed spirits and sorcerers.

To achieve this goal, Orochi used the power of the Panxing Cult to search extensively for cursed spirits/sorcerers who met the requirements for cleansing.

He won't go to clean up immediately, as that would only cause a commotion. Only after all the targets have been found will the giant snake make its move and eliminate all the discord in one fell swoop.

Of course, not all followers of the Panxing Cult are willing to obey the Great Serpent's arrangements. They outwardly submit to the Great Serpent, but secretly go against it.

One of the super-rich tycoons, through special channels, revealed the news that Orochi had been resurrected and was determined to massacre the world of sorcery.

At first, no one in the sorcery world took it seriously, since the person who released the message was not a sorcerer. But this tycoon was so rich that he directly offered a ten million bounty for the head of the new leader of the Panxing Cult.

The impoverished sorcerer couldn't resist the temptation and went to the Panxing Cult, but never returned. Through this method, the wealthy man successfully made the sorcery world aware of the truth of the information, but at the cost of several precious lives.

When Gojo Satoru learned of this, she became extremely interested. As the strongest sorcerer of her time, she was very curious about what level the Yamata no Orochi was at a thousand years ago.

Before the higher-ups in the sorcery world could make a decision, Gojo Satoru decided to go to the Pansei Cult to personally meet the so-called [Great Serpent].

But just before he was about to set off, Natsumi Eri suddenly found her, holding a quest to deal with a level one cursed spirit:

"Wunai, you're here! Perfect timing! I just took on a mission to deal with level one cursed spirits. I've lost all of them, so could you come with me?"

As Natsumi Eri said this, her eyes still shone with anticipation. At this moment, Gojo Satoru wanted to say, "Even without the cursed spirit, your total cursed power is more than enough to deal with a level one cursed spirit."

But thinking that she had just said not long ago that "a true friend is someone you can rely on," and looking at Natsumi Eri's almost overflowing expectation, it would be too impolite to refuse.

Gojo Satoru sighed, deciding to temporarily put aside her plan to see the Yamata no Orochi. She said:

"Okay, let's go."

"That's great! Satoru, you're so kind!"

Upon hearing this, Natsume Eri cheered and went off to catch Pokémon with Gojo Satoru.

Gojou Satoru originally wanted to finish the battle quickly, catch all the Pokémon, and then go see Orochi. But Natsume Eri seemed to have received the mission from a wholesale market. After finishing one, there were two more, and after finishing two, there were three more.

They continued doing the Pokémon catching missions over and over again until the next day, when they finally finished all the missions. Although it wasn't exactly tiring, it almost exhausted Gojou Satoru's patience.

Natsume Eri naturally noticed Gojo Satoru's impatience and felt a little embarrassed, so she thanked her:

"Wunai, thank you. Without you, it would have taken me a long time to collect so many spirits."

Upon hearing this, Gojou Satoru's impatience vanished, and she laughed heartily, saying:

“We’re best friends, so it’s only right that we do this.”

To this, Natsumi Eri laughed, a laugh even happier than when she regained her cursed spirit. She waved goodbye to Gojo Satoru and said:

"That's great! I'll definitely come back to you next time, Goro."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru's face stiffened, then he gave an awkward smile:

"Okay, it's a deal."

After saying goodbye to Natsumi Eri, Gojo Satoru was finally able to head to the Panxing Cult headquarters to see Orochi.

As a long-established non-magician organization, the Panxing Cult has no standing in the world of sorcery, but it wields considerable influence outside the community and plays a significant role in managing public opinion. Therefore, the sorcery community dares not completely offend the Panxing Cult.

But Gojo Satoru was the strongest man in the world. He had no fear of offending the Panxing Sect; he could even destroy it. So he swaggered into the Panxing Sect and shouted at the followers:

"Hey, where's your boss? Get him out here right now, I'm going to give him a good kick in the ass."

The believers didn't know how to respond to this, but they did recognize Gojo Gosho. After all, a major reason for the failed assassination attempt on the Starmash was that Gojo Gosho delayed Fushiguro Jinji for a sufficient amount of time, allowing the Starmash to successfully assimilate with Tengen.

In order to get rid of the giant serpent's rule, the believers pointed out the location of the serpent without hesitation, which surprised Gojo Satoru.

But as unexpected as it may be, the most important thing is to find Orochi as soon as possible and have a good fight with him.

Following the directions of the believers, Gojo Satoru arrived at the room where the giant serpent was. Unable to contain his excitement, he kicked the door open.

"Hey you giant snake, come out right now, I'm going to kick your ass hard!"

Gojo Satoru shouted, but when she saw the layout of the room, she was taken aback.

Not only was there no one in sight, but there was also a large hole in the wall. Sensing the two completely different cursed powers remaining in the room, Gojo Satoru instantly realized that the giant snake had been lured away by someone else beforehand.

Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru felt a pang of frustration:

"Damn it, it's not the first one? Orochi, don't die yet, I haven't had a proper fight with you..."

Chapter 123: Louhu's Invitation

Not long ago, at the headquarters of the Panxing Cult, Orochi sat in the office arranged by Kentaro, studying the modern common sense and knowledge that had been compiled into a book.

Logically speaking, given the terrifying power to overturn the world, Orochi shouldn't need to waste time learning modern common sense and knowledge. But a true strongman always has the heart of an apprentice.

Just as the great serpent was engrossed in his studies, he suddenly sensed a powerful force of magic approaching him. The magic was as turbulent and violent as flames, and its owner must be a fire-wielding spirit.

"You've come looking for me?"

The giant serpent instantly sensed the cursed spirit's intention, so it put down the book, stared at the door, and waited for the cursed spirit to appear.

Several cries of despair rang out from outside the door. When the cries stopped abruptly, the only sound was the faint sound of footsteps. Then, the doorknob was melted into molten iron by the high temperature, and when the door was pushed open, a wave of heat rushed out.

Faced with the heatwave, the serpent's expression remained unchanged. He sized up the cursed spirit before him: grayish-blue skin, a volcanic head, a single red eye, and a yellow cloak adorned with black spots. It was none other than the supreme cursed spirit, Louhu, born from people's fear of volcanoes during the Four Calamities.

"You are the great serpent who vowed to cleanse the world of sorcery?"

Upon entering the office, Louhu scrutinized the white-haired man before him with his large eyes. The man's strong body was covered with sun-shaped runes, and his cold face was framed by a pair of emotionless red eyes.

Louhu narrowed his eyes slightly. He could sense the power of the person in front of him and thought to himself, "I've come to the right place."

The Four Calamities, created by the world to balance Gojo Satoru, are not only far more intelligent than ordinary cursed spirits, but also possess the grand ideal of "creating a world where only cursed spirits exist".

To achieve this ideal, they had to fight against Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in the modern era. However, with only the four calamities, attacking together would only result in their deaths. In order to strengthen their own forces, Ryouko decided to personally win over Orochi, who had declared that he would wipe out the entire world of sorcery.

Now that he has met Orochi, Louhu understands that Orochi definitely has the right to be arrogant. Driven by his grand ambition, he extends an invitation to Orochi:

"Let's make a deal. Join us in revolutionizing the world of pyromancy, and we'll give you everything you want."

The great serpent remained expressionless, like a puppet, or perhaps lost in thought. Even Louhu couldn't understand what the serpent was thinking, and this unfathomable appearance made Louhu somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey, are you even listening? Give me an answer, whether you agree or not."

Now, the great serpent finally spoke, but what he said was exactly the opposite of what Louhu had expected:

"The time is not yet ripe. You shall go now, and I will spare your life for now."

When that voice, which sounded like both a man and a woman, came out, Louhu, a special-grade curse spirit, was stunned. It was the first time he had ever heard someone speak in such a tone. This was too pretentious, wasn't it?

However, after Louhu understood the meaning of the words, he frowned. To be honest, he didn't quite understand what the sentence meant. What did it mean to say, "The time is not yet right, you go first, and I will spare your life"?

"The time isn't right yet? Spare my life... Do you think you can kill me?"

Louhu scoffed at those words. Although the aura emanating from the giant serpent was strong, he was Louhu, one of the Four Calamities, and was not someone who could be underestimated like that.

Seeing the state of the leaky lake, the giant serpent felt it necessary to clarify things. He tried to abandon his ancient speaking habits and use language that modern people could understand:

“You are weak... executing you would be a waste of time.”

Upon hearing this, Louhu was stunned. But after sensing the utter disdain in the words, he was instantly enraged. His magical power surged, transforming into flames that erupted from the volcano above his head.

"What did you say?! You...you're too arrogant!"

Sensing the restless air, the giant snake realized that it had just uttered a statement that deviated from its original meaning and compounded its error due to its unfamiliarity with the way modern people spoke.

He was somewhat helpless. He originally did not want to start a war before gathering information on the cursed spirits and sorcerers, but seeing Louhu's uncontrollable anger, he realized that a battle was inevitable.

And just as the giant serpent had predicted, the humiliated Louhu had completely forgotten why he had come there. He swiftly raised his hand, creating a crater in the wall behind the giant serpent, and said:

You'll regret saying that!

The next second, scorching magma erupted from it, instantly engulfing the giant snake.

However, it was wishful thinking to think that such an attack could harm the giant serpent. Before the magma was about to hit him, he had already teleported out of the magma's range. At the same time, he pointed at the leaking coral, and a pillar of spiritual energy instantly sent it flying, crashing through several walls along with it.

"What's going on? What kind of spell is this?!"

After barely managing to steady himself, Lou Hu looked down at his pierced arms, cold sweat pouring down his face. If he hadn't sensed the danger and instinctively raised his hands to block, his head would probably have been the one pierced through.

"Damn it, this guy is not to be underestimated..."

Louhu immediately calmed down, and after understanding his current situation, he immediately became extremely alert.

Now, dust and smoke are billowing all around him from the wall he just crashed through. Louhu only has one eye, and his eyesight was already poor, so this environment is now completely disadvantageous for him.

So Louhu threw dozens of fireflies forward, both to disperse the smoke and to attack the giant snake.

But he was too naive. The mere fireflies could not cause any damage to the giant snake. He only needed to teleport to close the distance with the leaky lake while dodging the attack.

Louhu had already healed his arm injury. When he saw the giant snake teleporting towards him, he was initially startled. After accepting the situation in 0.01 seconds, he instantly grabbed the lava with both fists and charged towards the giant snake.

"A pointless attack."

The giant serpent casually dodged the attacks of the leaking lake. Whether it was fire gravel worms or volcanoes, it easily evaded them. As the serpent continuously consumed the spiritual energy pillars, the leaking lake's body was soon riddled with holes.

And the giant serpent? It had no wounds on its body. It floated quietly on the ground, a foot above the ground, with white hair and red eyes, like a god.

"hateful……"

Louhu took two steps back and realized that his attacks posed no threat to the giant snake. He regretted coming here. Escape was now out of the question. If he wanted to survive, he could only take a gamble.
