Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"I understand, Mother. Could it be that you also..."

"I'm not! I didn't! I…"

Realizing she had been led astray by this rebellious woman, Izanami noticed strange gazes falling on her. Her face flushed red, and she could no longer contain herself. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she roared angrily.

"The land of roots releases its breath, swiftly atoning for your sins—shut up! Shut up!"

The cold, gloomy divine words summoned a massive amount of death intent from the Land of the Dead, extinguishing the brilliance of gold.

Endless death energy condensed into jet-black, furious dragons before Izanami-no-Mikoto, viciously strangling and attacking the radiant core of Amaterasu-Omikami.

"boom!"

In an instant, darkness and light intertwined and roared, the sky tore apart, and the earth collapsed.

The sun that fell to earth was being carried and ravaged by several menacing black dragons, crashing and slamming into the gun tower in the center of the city, blasting the landmark building straight through.

Fortunately, Yustissa built this place as a divine tower and altar, and countless precious materials and reinforcement spells were poured into it, so the quality of this gun tower is quite sturdy.

Although it has been ravaged and become dilapidated, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, it still stands tall with unwavering spirit despite its disability.

Wow, this stance doesn't involve any technique; it's all raw emotion.

Samael stared at the mother and daughter who were unusually harmonious and close upon their first meeting, and was immediately speechless. His vertical pupils split open in a cross pattern as he stared intently at the smoke-filled battlefield below, his face beaming with the excitement of watching a spectacle unfold.

Fight!Fight!

I love watching women fight.

Meanwhile, the spirits, anti-heroes, gods, and even evil spirits on the top floor of the tower quietly distanced themselves from a snake that seemed even more inhuman.

Not only did they harm the mother and daughter, but they also fanned the flames, acting as if they wanted to cause chaos in the world.

That's utterly despicable!

Completely unaware that he had been labeled with all sorts of despicable tags, Samael continued to enjoy the bickering between the two women who appeared to be mother and daughter.

"Oh my, I just woke up, is your welcome ceremony already this grand?"

At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae, who was being pressed and rubbed to the ground by the black dragons of death energy, showed no fear on her face and lazily stretched her back.

"However, it's quite surprising that she recovered even before me, [Mother]..."

Then, after a brief pause, Tamamo-no-Mae glanced at the person watching the show from the gun turret, her golden eyes filled with a teasing smile: "Oh my, could it be a call of love...?"

"Shut up!"

"I was here first, yet you dare to interfere and steal my daughter's beloved man. How audacious of you, Mother..."

"shut up!!"

"Oh dear, you're getting shy so quickly, that's so unlike me."

Tamamo-no-Mae teased her nominal mother with a mischievous grin, and seeing the other woman's frantic state yet inability to do anything about it filled her with a sense of pleasure, and she continued to rub salt into the wound.

"Don't worry, desire knows no age or social status. I won't laugh at you, Mother. At worst, I'll compromise and give you half..."

"Don't say it!"

Izanami roared, her voice cracking, her cold face filled with barely suppressed shame and anger. Her backhand slash, the Jade Spear, was like a deadly scythe that ensnared the soul, tearing through the protective divine light of this sun goddess inch by inch, penetrating straight to her core.

"You're getting impatient, you're getting impatient!" Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the already deranged and out-of-control Izanami-no-Mikoto, and continued to intensify her taunts with the air of a victor.

However, a faint grinding sound could be heard coming from the mouth of the sun goddess.

Such a strong reaction, could it be that they're really having an affair?

It's only been a few days? And that snake has already gotten her hooked up?

No wonder she used to call her Little Jade Maiden, but now that she has a new love, she calls her Dead Fox.

Pah! Scumbag!

"Enough with the nonsense! Pay back what you owe me first, Amaterasu!"

A cold snort, fueled by gritted teeth, exploded in her ears. Taking advantage of Tamamo-no-Mae's momentary lapse in concentration, a violent surge of energy pierced through layers of light and flame, advancing rapidly.

Before the Heavenly Spear even touched her body, the sharp wind pressure caused Tamamo-no-Mae's clothes to flutter in the crater, her body's light and flames to flicker, and red marks from the pressure to creep up her smooth, jade-like skin.

"Migu..."

The sun goddess, bound by countless black dragons of death, faced the descending Heavenly Spear. She pursed her lips and uttered her habitual utterance, her delicate brows furrowing as she looked at Izanami with a hint of resentment.

"While I understand your strong emotions, it is a truth that even gods feel pain when attacked... [Mother], do you understand?"

As he spoke, his golden eyes resembled two leaping, blazing flames.

Chapter 82 The beating was still too lenient.

At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae, inside the crater, raised her right hand, her slender white index finger pointing forward to meet the spear tip, and with a rustling of her teeth, uttered a lazy whisper.

"One omen appears in the void..."

In an instant, Izanami's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and her Heavenly Spear unconsciously traced an arc, changing from a thrust to a sweep, slamming aside a luminous fox tail that had somehow appeared behind Tamamo-no-Mae.

Its pure white fur was like jade dust, and the red and yellow flame patterns outlined on it resembled a golden divine eye flowing with magma.

If an ordinary person gazes at it for too long, they will become dazzled and mesmerized, their minds will be stripped away, and they will become puppets at the mercy of this beauty.

However, at this moment, Izanami's eyes burned with intense anger and hatred. She wielded the Heavenly Spear and struck forward, deflecting the second luminous fox tail that had emerged from behind the fox goddess.

But before one wave subsided, another arose. Before Izanami could advance the Heavenly Spear, the three luminous fox tails behind Tamamo-no-Mae lit up together, shining brightly in unison.

"Three-tailed beast, light, fire, wind!"

In an instant, the three vertical stripes at the tail suddenly opened, like three golden eyes opening at the same time, radiating boundless heat.

The three powers of light, flames, and burning wind all arrived in unison!

Caught off guard, the dark aura of death surrounding Izanami was pierced by three brilliant flames, melting and dissipating rapidly like ice and snow under the blazing sun, making a "squeaking" sound.

"Well!"

The goddess of the underworld groaned and cried out, her face pale as she hastily retreated, seemingly terrified of the heat and light emanating from Tamamo-no-Mae.

According to the Kojiki, Izanami-no-Mikoto was scorched by the flames of the newborn Kagu-no-Kami during childbirth, and ultimately died in childbirth.

While the story may not be entirely true, a little deduction can lead to a general conclusion: the goddess of the underworld's fatal weakness lies in powers such as fire.

Although the flames of the gods can indeed burn mountains and boil seas, the light and heat of this world can never match the brilliance of the sun.

"Amaterasu, I'm going to kill you!"

Izanami's long, flowing hair partially obscured her beautiful face, and a gray, ghostly aura of death constantly gathered and boiled, just like her heart filled with rage.

"Burubu Yura Yurazhi Burubu...!"

The gods chanted, and the heavenly spear pierced the ground, stirring the underworld. The surrounding death energy poured into it like rivers flowing into the sea.

Puff puff puff!

In an instant, countless white bone spikes burst forth from the dark mud, forming a towering white bone armor and deathly gray flesh that enveloped Izanami-no-Mikoto.

The incantation chanted by the goddess of the underworld is known as the "Words of Buru." It is said that chanting this blessing and wielding ten divine treasures can bring the dead back to life.

The original text in the "Chronicles of Ancient Events of the Former Dynasty" states that "Burubu Yuliang Yuliang stopped at Burubu."

“I say that among the people of the earth, every day… a thousand will die!”

The skeletal giant, shrouded in deathly aura, bowed its head and murmured. As the heavy tone subsided, a thousand rows of uniformly white skeletons behind it, spears in hand and swords in hand, strode forward in a mighty torrent of death, devouring life.

Harvesting the souls of a thousand people every day—this is the curse that the goddess of filth in the underworld has placed upon the human world.

Each of these skeletons is a product of condensed death energy, a symbol of death. Even if a god is harmed by them, he will be cursed and dragged into the underworld.

At the same time, Tamamo-no-Mae in the crater narrowed her golden eyes slightly, her blood energy burned and boiled, solidified golden flames surrounded her, and her magic power surged like a tide, enveloping her body in boundless light and flames, and she slowly rose up.

Like a blazing sun in the darkness!

"Five streaks, a trailing broom star!"

Five fiery tails lashed out like whips of fire that cleaved through the darkness, tearing through the air and turning over a thousand skeletons to ashes.

"The winds of haste and the filth of the underworld are summoned!"

The Heavenly Spear swept across, and a torrent of blood-red liquid gushed from the cracks, engulfing all directions.

The flames and the turbid water collided with each other, annihilating and evaporating one another.

The two gods, evenly matched, were sent flying backward, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble violently and the surrounding sky to display a dazzling array of colors.

"Ha, Amaterasu, all these years have passed, and you have schemed and plotted to seize my divine position and my land, but in the end you have not only not become stronger, but have become weaker than before. How laughable!"

The unexpected feedback greatly boosted Izanami's confidence, and she launched into a sarcastic remark.

"You call yourself a god, a light, a sun that illuminates this world."

"Then let you, this false god in the sky, feel the resentment of us forsaken, feel the decay and curse buried beneath the earth for millennia!"

Immediately, the goddess of the underworld, shrouded in deathly aura and bones, raised her hands, holding the Heavenly Spear, which was almost dyed black, and roared.

"The long night is dark, and this hatred will never end!"

In an instant, a dense aura of death surged from the cracks in the earth, extinguishing all light on the battlefield.

Under the cover of darkness, the passage of time, the dimensions of space, and the five senses of the human body all disappear, as if imprisoned in a void, accompanied by eternal solitude.

Until the end of time and the destruction of the universe.

"The presence of a deity in the clouds is proof of the freedom to perform the purification ritual, and it is the divine treasure, the Mirror of Yujia!"

Like a soft murmur of a ballad, a beam of dazzling golden light suddenly rose from the gun turret, tearing through the deathly darkness of the battlefield from an unexpected angle.

"This... mirror... my mirror..."

Himiko gazed at the ancient mirror that had flown from her arms toward the battlefield, her eyes glazed over, her face filled with confusion and heartache.

"Don't bother looking anymore, I'm only leaving it here temporarily."

Samael patted the Yamatai queen on the shoulder, offering a helpless consolation.

The Uka no Kagami is essentially the Yata no Kagami, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan, which is the divine body of Amaterasu Omikami.

Clearly, Himiko, the sun priestess, has been able to purify and cleanse this singularity with divine power thanks to the [Uka Mirror] on her body, also known as the [Mirror of Eternal Reflection of Stars].

Now that Tamamo-no-Mae has personally intervened, the Uka Mirror, as the embodiment of the Sun God, naturally needs to be returned to its rightful owner.

However, judging from this point of view, the current battle situation is obviously quite intense.

Samael stood atop the gun turret, deploying a defensive spell shield to protect the gathered spirits, gods, and anti-heroes from becoming collateral damage in this divine war, while squinting as he continued to gaze at the battlefield where thunderclouds rolled.

At this moment, at the call of the divine words, the returned Yata no Kagami, like a newborn sun, hung behind Tamamo-no-Mae, radiating countless rays of light that tore the night sky into countless holes.

However, as soon as Tamamo-no-Mae broke through the surrounding black mist and regained her five senses on the battlefield, she felt a strange sense of heaviness and detachment coming one after another.

This is……

Tamamo-no-Mae sensed something was wrong, her expression changed, and she looked down at her feet.

One could see that winding, jet-black roots were emerging from the cracks in the ground, growing wildly in a chaotic and twisted manner, almost covering the entire battlefield within a hundred miles.

Meanwhile, several slender tendrils, under the cover of darkness, silently pierced the skin of her ankles, tainted her divine power, and swam toward the divine core within her body.

Under the corrosive influence of darkness and death, the once radiant Yuga Mirror suddenly became dim and yellowish.

"You should return what you took from me, Amaterasu!"

Enveloped in bones and deathly aura, the Goddess of the Underworld raised her pale white bone claws and suddenly clenched them.

The pitch-black vines covering the ground instantly transformed into venomous snakes, coiling and twisting towards Tamamo-no-Mae, who was being controlled in the center.

These "branches" formed from the will to die can easily penetrate the barriers on the target's body surface, pulling out the soul, the core of the spirit, and even the divine essence.

She wanted to take back everything that once belonged to her from this pregnant woman.

Faced with the scene of ten thousand pythons galloping before her, Tamamo-no-Mae's pretty face, which was tinged with a bluish-black death aura, suppressed her smile, slowly raised her right hand, and solemnly chanted.

"With a heart as clear as jade, gentle and kind to all, wielding a divine sword, I will vanquish evil and eliminate wickedness!"

Under the decree, nine ancient magatama beads peeled off from the golden-red patterns at the ends of nine luminous fox tails, rose into the air, and then circled around the Mirror of Uga, endlessly revolving, transforming into an eternal, inextinguishable flame.

At the same time, the ground trembled, and an ancient sword with angular blades at both ends and a dark blue snake pattern branded on its spine burst out of the ground and fell into Tamamo-no-Mae's palm with a trembling sound.

Zheng——!

The ancient sword rang out and swept across, its blazing flames covering the intricately patterned blade. Golden waves of fire rolled down, and the tangled vines around it were instantly incinerated once they touched a spark.
