Although Takemikazuchi and Tsutsu no Nushi are essentially one and the same, the shrine still senses a slight difference. Tsutsu no Nushi is colder and more indifferent, like a weapon, while Takemikazuchi is slightly gentler.

"Tsk... You just said you would be my mouthpiece, and Thunderclap is the very meaning of Divine Cry. From now on, I will call you Divine Cry. Make good use of your mouthpiece."

Narukami, who did not understand the deeper meaning of the shrine, nodded in agreement, while Tamamo-no-Mae secretly stirred things up from the side.

"That person is also called Inatsuma, why don't you just call her Inatsuma?"

This word is a bit too prominent and should not be used lightly, otherwise the shrine might really be afraid that the little priestess will kill someone.

"What about her? Let's give her a name too, so it'll be easier."

Tamamo-no-Mae kicked Hachiman, indicating something.

"No rush, I don't have any ideas yet. Let me pull those two down and have a good chat before we decide on a name."

As they were talking, Mount Fuji trembled slightly, the ground in the basin below caved in slightly, and countless plumes of smoke and dust from the impending eruption were swept into the sky.

Mount Fuji is gradually becoming more active, perhaps sensing the aura of the dragon vein that once resided there.

Chapter 108 Viewing

Oh no, this is really going to backfire!

While effortlessly dodging Chiyo's attacks, Kaguya glanced at the ground and was pondering a dilemma.

His strength had not recovered much, and he was far from being able to break through the restrictions that Yagokoro had set up around Mount Fuji. He was now struggling like a fish caught in a net.

As Chiyo charged at her time and time again, Kaguya couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance. Couldn't you have waited until I'd half-dead from absorbing Yasui's energy before attacking?

In another place, even if we fought each other forever, it wouldn't be a problem, but not now. Depleted power needs time to recover; even if we died and started over, we would only recover life force, not power.

Quickly think of a way to escape! Or should I just admit defeat and tell Jingu I was just there to watch the show? But that guy will definitely not let me get away so easily, especially since Chiyo is still in his hands.

Isn't this a complete dead end?

Kaguya, distracted by Chiyo's distraction, was seized upon and shoved into the basin by Chiyo like a falling spark. The immense impact instantly shattered the already cracked volcanic rock.

"Go to hell, die, die!"

All the pain of a thousand years, the bewilderment of humanity, all the suffering, resentment, and anger were released at this moment. Fingers dug into that beautiful face, relentlessly dragging the other person straight into the rising lava.

Die! ...

Burning herself and Kaguya along with her, Chiyo unleashed her fury and resentment, lashing out with every cruel and insidious fighting style she had ever used or had never used before, venting it all on Kaguya.

Kaguya, whose composure and elegance had been shattered, abandoned all pretense of being a beautiful woman and retaliated without hesitation, grabbing and pinching him like women in a fight.

Death, resurrection, death, resurrection, death, resurrection

Even if she were immortal, Chiyo would still kill her, kill her before she could be resurrected each time, and die before she could even be resurrected, so that one day she could bring Kaguya to the brink of death.

Sinking deeper and deeper into the lava, dying in agony while rapidly reborn, two monsters tearing and killing each other with their still-growing claws and fangs...

"Tsk tsk tsk, you women fight so fiercely. Gouging out eyeballs and tearing off face skin, it looks painful."

Standing beside the crater, watching the two people who seemed to be sinking into purgatory, Jingu looked happy no matter how you looked at it.

But as Chiyo fell into the crater, the rate of lava flow began to accelerate significantly, and the volcano was returning to the active state it was in a thousand years ago.

When Baoyong erupted more than 300 years ago, a new crater was formed in the belly of the mountain. This time, however, it is a sign that the main crater has begun to erupt. Under the dark night after the clouds have dispersed, the shadow of long smoke is reflected in the moonlight.

Humans are truly strange creatures; they worship things that can destroy them at any time out of reverence.

I wonder how many people's sweet dreams this premonition of eruption will awaken, and how many phones are ringing urgently right now. Looking down from the mountain, below...

The city, like an ant kingdom, began to function at this moment to fight against the impending disaster.

"Is this what you call the dragon vein? Using the lives of ordinary people to exchange for that elusive fortune. As long as this volcano remains active, the status of your noble families will be secure, and the Emperor's rule will be as unshakeable as this mountain."

The shrine maiden's mocking words struck the hearts of everyone. The shrine maidens, who had been kneeling on the ground, trembled and dared not speak. Even their god had become a prisoner, so how could they possibly fare any better?

Hachisei Kaneshin wiped his face and said weakly, "It's still the same as before. Whether we do it or not, it's here. Disasters will happen, people will die, and new life will be born."

"Whether or not there is a dragon vein, disasters will occur; whether or not there are disasters, people will die; whether or not there are so-called gods and nobles like us, people's value will still be exploited by others in different ways."

“I am merely a beneficiary, not the one who started the problem.”

Even without the dragon vein, the catastrophic eruption of Baoyong would have occurred over three hundred years ago. The dragon vein is only one part of the equation, not the whole. That's just how nature is; humans can influence it, but they cannot control it. The Divine Palace understands this better than anyone else.

"Yes, someone has to do it, so why not you? You always make excuses for yourself like this, and you'll keep making excuses, but what about the ordinary people under your influence?"

“They would treat commoners as worthless weeds, wild grass without even a name, straw mats to test their knives on, and it would be their duty to sacrifice their lives for the nobles.”

Jingu smiled dismissively, a smile that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"You should be glad that this is a new era, and things are a little different now. If it were before the Meiji Restoration, I probably would have been unable to stand these distorted ideas and wiped the country out completely."

Faced with the words of the shrine maiden, the kneeling priestesses dared not even breathe, fearing that he might gouge their heads off if he got carried away with his words. Only Hachikoshi Kane remained somewhat unconvinced.

"But what difference is there between you and me in the end? You think it's wrong for me to be results-oriented? Does that mean your way of doing things is better than mine? At least I can maintain order itself, even if it's an unequal order."

"Those things have nothing to do with me. I just want to be happy."

Speechless at the unreasonable words of the shrine maiden, Yajiro no Kanekami stopped speaking and simply turned his head away to express his attitude.

"Master, Mount Fuji is about to erupt."

Narukami, who was standing behind the shrine, whispered a reminder that, judging from the rate at which the magma was rising, Mount Fuji would likely experience its first eruption within a few minutes, and then continue to erupt for the next few weeks.

The volcanic ash will likely blanket the entire island of Honshu for nearly half a month, destroying surrounding cities and causing at least five figures in casualties, with incalculable economic losses.

"Don't worry, none of you will die. Seeing the eruption of the sacred mountain in your hearts, the largest volcano in Yingzhou, so close up, shouldn't you be amazed by what you're about to see?"

Jingu chuckled. "Isn't it said that the people of Yingzhou have a strong tendency towards destruction and a talent for art? How come they don't even know how to appreciate such a beautiful view?"

"Jingu, is there no way to stop the volcanic eruption?"

Kind-hearted Asuka couldn't help but ask, but she received no answer. Jingu seemed not to hear her, looking down at the volcano that was expanding and about to erupt.

Narukami hesitated, then sighed inwardly. Of course he could do it; making the entire Mount Fuji go into hibernation would be a piece of cake.

But he didn't want to do it. When he wanted to see the magnificent sight of Mount Fuji erupting, what did it matter whether Mount Fuji was alive or dead?

This chapter contains 2133 words. The information about the damage caused by the eruption of Mount Fuji is provided by the official sources. Referring to the previous eruption, the Hoei eruption, it is not as some readers imagine that Mount Fuji would sink into the ground after an eruption. That was only the theoretical maximum eruption scenario.

Chapter 109 Crimson Blood

Hanayama Haru, who knew nothing, was fast asleep.

But the urgent ringing of the phone woke her from her sleep. Before she was even fully awake, she answered the phone and said something irritating.

"Who is it? Aren't you going to sleep at this hour?"

But the voice on the other end of the phone snapped her back to reality with just one sentence.

"You're sleeping soundly, Miss Hanayama?"

The familiar boy's voice instantly woke Hanayama Haru from his slumber. He knelt on the bed, his face not looking too good, probably cursing something in his mind, but his voice sounded very obsequious.

"Oh, it's Lord Jingu. What brings you here so late? Was your soak in the hot springs at Mount Fuji pleasant?"

Standing atop Mount Fuji, with scorching air rising, the shrine maiden held one arm around the young priestess and the shy Asuka with the other, her phone pressed to her ear.

He felt he had to make a phone call from the crater, but his hands were already full, and there weren't any particularly attractive girls in Tokyo, so after some deliberation, he called Hanayama Haru.

"Yes, the hot springs at Mount Fuji are very comfortable, and the foxes smell quite nice too, but I have something I want to show you now."

Are you up yet?

"Woke up."

“Pull back the curtains, and then look towards… well, southwest.”

Following the instructions of the shrine, Hanayama Haru got out of bed. Although she didn't know what the shrine was up to, she did as she was told.

"Southwest...I remember it's..."

She rubbed her eyes and looked up in the direction the shrine had indicated. In the darkness, she couldn't see anything at all, only the shadow of Mount Fuji and the wisps of smoke rising from it.

"It's nothing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hanayama Haru's eyes widened suddenly, and the voice on the other end of the phone turned into a short busy tone.

In the distance, Mount Fuji erupted with a roar under the night sky, illuminating half the sky with flying sparks. The erupting smoke and dust burst into huge lightning bolts in the air, eagerly displaying its terrifying power to the world once again after hundreds of years of accumulation.

At this moment, Mount Fuji stood like a true mountain god, its fury reaching the sky, its body cracked, flowing with the blood of the crimson earth, and the rivers flowing like red water. This scene reminded Haruhiko Hanayama of the famous painting "Red Fuji," where the mountain is crimson and flows like blood.

However, at this moment, Haru Hanayama's mind was not on why Mount Fuji suddenly erupted, nor on how many casualties it would cause. Instead, she was thinking about why Jingu suddenly called her to say this.

Hanayama Haru's head was buzzing. She'd only ever heard of calling someone to wake them up to watch a meteor shower or fireworks; this was the first time she'd ever heard of someone calling her to wake her up to watch a volcanic eruption. Putting everything else aside, she felt a strange, inexplicable sense of romance.

"Tsk, there's no signal."

Jingu put away his phone. Countless lava and sparks were erupting continuously from the volcano in front of him, and the eruption seemed to be getting more and more intense. The land in the crater was constantly sinking, and soon the place where they were standing was turned into an isolated island in a sea of ​​lava.

The entire mountain of Mount Fuji has sunk into a...

Amidst the raging inferno, countless burning lava splattered in all directions, and the city's evacuation sirens at the foot of the mountain wailed louder than ever before.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. The smell of sulfur and fire filled their nostrils, and lava fell like fire rain. Only now did they understand why the ancients worshipped and revered it as a sacred mountain.

After an unknown amount of time, the eruption gradually subsided. After the first eruption, it will likely continue to erupt in small, fountain-like bursts for the next few weeks.

The long plumes of smoke mixed with volcanic ash will remain condensed for a long time, and countless plumes of volcanic ash will be ejected into the stratosphere.

This didn't align with the Shingu's plan. He didn't want to turn around and find the air filled with volcanic ash, and the sky dark and gloomy. He didn't care how many people the eruption killed, but this was unacceptable.

With a thought, a small wind mass that was gradually forming from below the Pacific Ocean changed its trajectory and turned toward Yingzhou.

Well, he's just trying to freshen up the air. As for whether volcanic ash will condense and hit people after meeting water, that's none of his business. He's just trying to clean up the mess left by the volcanic eruption.

However, regarding other issues, such as the privacy of Marseille, what does that have to do with him being a tourist visiting Mount Fuji? Hopefully, the evacuation measures are adequate. Let's pray.

Fortunately, the catfish had just released its energy a while ago, so this eruption did not trigger a large-scale earthquake or tsunami. It's like an earthquake happening sooner or later anyway; if it happens this time, it won't happen next time.

Along with the erupted lava, there were two bodies struggling and twisting, with parts of their tissues growing together, making them unrecognizable as human.

The battle between the undead was incredibly brutal, almost enough to make an R18G adult film. They fought to the point where their bodies almost grew together, with their flesh tearing at each other.
