Genichi Hanyu turned his gaze once again to his ultimate goal—Rama, the last king who slumbered in the far east.
Feeling the vast, all-encompassing, and almost inexhaustible power within him, Genichi Hanyu was filled with absolute confidence.
Facing Rama, the Last King who is known as the nemesis of gods and the strongest steel, Genichi Hanyu believed that Rama wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble.
Ultimately, Rama, the last king, was nothing more than a disobedient god!
Perhaps he is very strong, a special being that appeared specifically to annihilate the god-slayer, possessing the characteristic of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents.
but!
Genichi Hanyu's current power has long surpassed the scope of ordinary god-slayers!
The core powers of powerful deities from all over the world, from various systems, and from countless individuals are gathered within him!
Its power is so complex, profound, and comprehensive that it has reached a terrifying level that is unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed in the future!
He even had a premonition that once he successfully killed the Last King and seized his savior's divine sword and the essence of the strongest steel, all the power within him would undergo a final qualitative change and fusion, propelling him toward a supreme realm that even mythology had never described!
No matter how strong Rama is, can he possibly be stronger than the combined power of dozens of main gods?
However, despite his confidence, Genichi Hanyu's personality has never lacked caution.
He knew the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone an opponent who bore the title of the Last King. Any slight underestimation could lead to unexpected changes.
To ensure everything goes perfectly, and to firmly grasp the final victory, Genichi Hanyu decided to do one last thing before officially heading to awaken and end Rama.
That means finding another key figure.
In the Rama myth, there exists a being whose fate is inextricably linked to his, and who could even be considered his greatest weakness and obsession—
That was Sita, the wife of Rama, the last king!
In the mythology of the Ramayana, Rama's life was closely related to Sita.
He was banished to the forest because of Sita, fought a great battle with the demon king Ravana because of Sita, and finally rescued Sita, but was forced to separate from her again because of the people's doubts about her chastity. Sita can be said to be Rama's greatest concern and source of pain.
If we can find this disobedient Sita, or even just find the relics closely related to Sita, or even the manifestation of his mythological concepts, it might become an ace in the battle, influencing the outcome or even restraining Rama at the crucial moment!
Genichi Hanyu never hesitates to use any means to achieve victory.
He viewed exploiting his opponent's emotional weaknesses as an efficient and intelligent strategy.
"Lucurazia".
Genichi Hanyu called out.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
The witch immediately stepped forward.
"Use all your clairvoyance and prophetic abilities, combined with all the records of Indian mythology, to search with all your might for any clues related to Sita, whether it be the possible locations where his disobedient gods may have manifested, or sacred relics that resonate strongly with his power, I want to know."
"Yes!"
Luculazia accepted the order, immediately closed her eyes, and began to sense the elusive thread of fate.
"Erica."
"exist."
"Mobilize all intelligence networks to focus on investigating all ancient sites and temples in India related to the Ramayana epic, especially those related to Sita's birthplace and the place where she ultimately sank into the earth."
"understand!"
Genichi Hanyu issued his orders methodically, his eyes sharp and cold.
"Rama will let you sleep a little longer."
"When I'm all ready, that will be the time for your final curtain call."
The final preparations for the ultimate hunt for the Last King have quietly begun.
This time, Genichi Hanyu is determined to ensure that every variable in the formula for victory is firmly in his own hands!
331 has plenty of ways to get you to talk.
Despite Pandora's covert guidance and the efficient operation of his vast forces, it still took Genichi Habu a considerable amount of time to find the deeply hidden Sita.
Rama's wife seems to have deliberately erased most of her own existence, as if she had completely blended into the background of the myth.
However, with Genichi Hanyu's unwavering will to achieve his goal and his almost limitless investment of resources, he ultimately succeeded in peeling away the true thread from countless chaotic pieces of information and false clues.
When the final intelligence was presented to Genichi Hanyu, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar name and couldn't help but chuckle.
Princess Liuli Tong.
No wonder Genichi Hanyu always felt a strange sense of familiarity with the concept of "Sido"; it turns out that this is what feelings are all about!
In this world's setting, Rama's wife Sita's mythological concept does not directly manifest as a disobedient god, but is transformed into another more well-known native deity—Princess Lapis Lazuli!
Like Sita in the Ramayana, this princess symbolizes purity, fidelity, and a tragic fate. The myths of the two are fundamentally similar and connected, and can even be seen as different manifestations of the same divinity in different cultural contexts.
The whereabouts of Princess Liuli Tong were quickly discovered—she did not remain in the mortal world, but hid in the depths of the Netherworld, which was intertwined with reality yet independent of it!
More specific information indicates that she was originally associated with Susanoo from Japanese mythology and apparently formed a small group called "Hermits of the Hidden World".
Besides her and Susanoo, there seems to be a gaunt old monk in black robes in the group. Intelligence suggests that his identity is very likely that of Tenkai, the famous black-robed prime minister in Japanese history, a demonic monk who also chose to remain in the underworld and whose cultivation is unfathomable.
However, Genichi Hanyu had absolutely no interest in the skinny black-robed monk or the troublemaking Susanoo.
As long as they don't actively jump out and get in the way, Genichi Hanyu doesn't bother with these old relics hiding in the underworld.
His current goal is clear and specific—it is that Princess Liuli Tong!
From her, extract all the core information, weaknesses, and even possible methods of restraint regarding her "husband" Rama!
After that, with thorough preparation, we will take down the Last King!
Therefore, his journey in the world of "Godslayer" can be considered to have come to a complete end.
Having collected all the important collectibles, cleared all obstacles, and defeated the final boss, I achieved a true victory.
With the help of Pandora, the mistress of the Netherworld, it couldn't be easier for Genichi Hanyu to pinpoint and find a specific goddess within the Netherworld.
The complex and ever-changing environment of the Netherworld, which could easily disorient any intruder, was as smooth as returning to one's own backyard for Genichi Hanyu.
With almost no obstacles, Genichi Hanyu's figure pierced through the barrier between reality and the underworld, appearing outside a tranquil yet eerie Japanese garden shrouded in mist and strangely glowing plants.
This is Princess Liuli Tong (Sido)'s residence in the Netherworld.
Without hesitation, Genichi Hanyu pushed open the fence gate, which seemed to be woven from moonlight, and stepped into the courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, a beautiful princess dressed in a magnificent twelve-layered kimono and with eyes as blue as glass sat quietly under a huge cherry tree with ethereal blossoms, as if she had long anticipated his arrival.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, with an ethereal and sorrowful quality that seemed otherworldly, and her eyes were clear yet seemed to reflect a thousand years of sadness.
She looked silently at the uninvited Genichi Hanyu, without saying a word, but a silent resistance and alienation emanated from her.
Genichi Hanyu also sized up the princess and said bluntly, "Princess Ruri-tou, or rather, Sita, you probably already know why I'm here."
“Tell me everything about Rama—his nature, the source of his power, his weaknesses, and how to most effectively and completely end him.”
Genichi Hanyu's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable tone of command, as if the other party was obligated to offer him everything.
However, Princess Rurihito's reaction to Genichi Hanyu's blunt, even rude, request was completely unexpected.
She showed no anger, no fear, and hardly any emotional fluctuation. She simply looked at Genichi Hanyu with her glassy eyes, calmly, yet with a deep sorrow and a hint of barely perceptible disgust.
She slowly shook her head, her voice ethereal and elusive, yet carrying an unwavering firmness: "I'm afraid I cannot comply."
"The matter of Rama is ordained by Heaven, and it is not something I can presume to comment on. Your Majesty's murderous intent is too strong and your obsession too deep. You are not a savior of the world, but rather a cause of its destruction. I will never aid and abet evil, nor will I tell you anything that would be detrimental to my husband."
"Please come back."
Her refusal was clean and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
They seem to have a strong opinion and instinctive aversion to Genichi Hanyu, the newly emerged and incredibly powerful god-slayer, and regard him as a source of chaos that must be guarded against.
Genichi Hanyu frowned instantly.
He hadn't expected the other party to refuse so decisively!
They don't even bother to haggle or feign compliance!
Was it because of his almost blind loyalty to Rama?
Or was it because of her so-called compassionate and divine nature that she saw through his ambition, which was purely for power and conquest?
Or perhaps Pandora or some other being in the underworld had already revealed something to her.
However, Gen Hanyu was not concerned about the reason.
All he knew was that the other party refused to cooperate.
Those who reject Genichi Hanyu, whether human or divine, never have a good ending.
"Oh? Really?"
The last trace of feigned politeness vanished from Genichi Hanyu's face, replaced by a cold, chilling indifference.
"It seems that Her Highness is determined to suffer the consequences of her refusal to listen to reason."
"I was thinking that if you cooperated obediently, I might be able to give you a relatively decent ending, or even allow you to continue to eke out a living in this Netherworld, considering your special status."
"But since you're so ungrateful..."
Yuzuru's aura suddenly became dangerous, and a massive amount of magical power began to silently gather, causing the light in the entire Youse Garden to distort and dim.
"Then I'll have to use some methods on you to teach you what it means to be obedient (Zhao Ma Zhao)."
For targets who are unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, seemingly weak but actually stubborn at heart, Genichi Hanyu has long accumulated a wealth of persuasive experience.
Physical torture has limited effect on deities and can easily damage the integrity of the artifacts.
Therefore, he prefers to start from the spiritual level or from the things that the other person cares about most.
As for the best "method" to deal with this loyal princess, the answer is almost obvious.
Genichi Hanyu slowly raised his hand, his fingertips dancing with a dark light that contained a terrifying power to spy on, guide, and even distort memories and emotions.
He approached the princess with the glassy eyes, who was still sitting quietly but whose eyes had become resolute, step by step.
"Let us see just how strong your love and loyalty to Rama can be."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
A trial of a goddess's will, taking place deep within the underworld, has quietly begun.
Genichi Hanyu has plenty of time and methods to get her to talk.
332 Rama, the Immortal, the God Who Annihilates the God-Slayer
In the tranquil courtyard of the Netherworld, the silent confrontation and contest of wills had already been decided.
A faint trace of humiliation and despair seemed to linger in the air.
The princess, dressed in a magnificent twelve-layered kimono and possessing azure-colored eyes, no longer possessed the tranquility and ethereal beauty she had before.
She collapsed under the cherry blossom tree, her delicate body trembling slightly. Her once meticulously combed long hair was now slightly disheveled, and her beautiful, glassy eyes were filled with emptiness and blankness after the collapse, as if something she had held onto for a long time had been completely shattered.
Clearly, this loyal princess ultimately couldn't withstand Genichi Hanyu's unique persuasive methods and revealed all the core information and secrets she knew about her "husband" Rama, pouring out everything clearly and plainly.
As for what methods Genichi Hanyu actually used...
The process is not complicated, and is even somewhat too simple and boring.
Genichi Hanyu had no intention of personally engaging in any torture or mental interrogation—that would be too beneath him and too much trouble, and he simply had no interest in personally teaching this princess with her sorrowful expression.
He simply used Pandora's authority to borrow 077 energetic, innocent-looking wolfhounds from some corner of the Netherworld.
After feeding the large wolfhounds some medicine, the wolfhounds, their tongues lolling out and drooling, let out low whimpers and stared intently at the noble princess with the eyes of someone looking at a new toy.
Then, Genichi Hanyu simply stood to the side, calm and collected, like an indifferent bystander, and even took a sip of a cup of black tea from his personal storage space.
He didn't even need to say a single threatening word.
As the large wolfhounds, drooling and eager to approach, their hot, foul breath almost touching the princess's delicate skin...
This goddess, who symbolizes purity and fidelity, had her psychological defenses completely collapse in an instant under extreme fear and disgust!
Compared to physical pain, this more humiliating and symbolic act is often more convincing for people like her.
Why would Genichi Hanyu waste his precious time and energy to personally handle something that could be easily solved with a few big wolfhounds?
He wasn't a pervert, and he genuinely had no particular interest in this Princess Lapis Lazuli, the reincarnation of Sita.
In his eyes, the other party was merely a valuable source of intelligence, its tool-like attributes far outweighing its other aspects.
