Aside from strategy, she had nothing else that could influence the course of the battle at this point.

But now.

When the power disparity is too great, strategy becomes the least valuable thing.

When the situation reached a dead end, Princess Kamishiro's pure white eyes revealed an extraordinary calm.

She spoke to Tamamo-no-Mae, who was still healing her wounds.

"King Zhai, no..."

When the name of Saiō was mentioned, Himeko Kamishiro paused slightly, then changed the subject.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, I'm sorry, but I have to relieve you of your duties."

"The Ryukiko Shrine is no longer the state religion."

"You should take the priestesses and flee for your lives."

“Kamishiro Naraku’s goal is the state religion and the right to inherit the throne. He won’t keep chasing you.”

“I know your mistress is powerful, and she can still launch overwhelming attacks against the old gods. We are the ones who are holding her back.”

"if……"

At this point, Himeko paused slightly, a glimmer of hope flashing in her pure white eyes.

"If there is an afterlife, I will agree to your conditions again and dedicate my loyalty to the lord of Xiahuo Mountain."

"But now, I am a royal daughter, and I will perish along with Kyoto."

Kamishiro Himeko forced a calm smile.

He spoke words of parting and death to his only close friend, Tamamo-no-Mae.

She dared not look at Tamamo-no-Mae's expression, fearing that the other was already sobbing uncontrollably. She did not want to be infected by the other's emotions and wanted to greet the brilliance of death with the calmest expression.

However, as the healing glow did not dissipate, Himeko Kamishiro still turned her head in confusion and looked at Tamamo-no-Mae.

Prepare to say something that will make the other person give up.

However, when viewed from the side, one sees Tamamo-no-Mae's calm and composed demeanor, a tranquility that seems utterly genuine.

Kamishiro Himeko: "..."

She paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, did you hear what I said?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze remained fixed on Natsume's fighting figure; she didn't turn her head and spoke softly.

"Yeah, I heard that."

"Then why don't you choose to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae reluctantly shifted her gaze; to her, she could never get enough of the mistress's figure.

However, Princess Kamishiro's mindset is clearly in trouble now, and she needs to explain herself.

"Why don't you leave?"

"What I want to say is, why leave?"

"Let me repeat what I said before..."

"I believe in the Lady."

"When the Matriarch arrives, all we need to do is wait quietly for victory to come."

Tamamo-no-Mae's expression was earnest, without a trace of falsehood. Her purple eyes sparkled with a radiant light, filled with trust in Natsuhika-e.

"Furthermore, according to what you said, Ji Ming, your next life is already predetermined."

"The Mistress will give you a new life, so begin now."

"Try to trust the being named Guhuo."

“Follow your heart’s desires, be faithful, be devout, and call upon His name.”

Upon hearing this, even Himeko was touched by this trust that seemed to come from nowhere.

A black goat overcomes numerous obstacles, and the old god gives it the command to kill Kamishiro-hime-no-Mikoto and Tamamo-no-Mae.

Therefore, its goal is exceptionally clear.

The black goat climbed a hundred-meter-high wall until it reached the top, where it poked half of its massive body out from within the wall.

It arrived before Himeko and Tamamo-no-Mae, its eyes appearing through its gaping maw.

He stared straight at the two of them.

It exudes a surging aura of chaotic malice, just like that of the ancient gods, and the black mist swirling around it instills endless fear in those who behold it.

Numerous superhumans launched attacks, and countless soldiers spewed flames, but their impact on it was negligible.

The black goat opened its mouth wide, trying to swallow Kamishiro Himeko and Tamamo-no-Mae whole.

But Himeko felt like she was going crazy.

At this moment, there was no fear in his mind, but he subconsciously followed the words that Tamamo-no-Mae had said earlier, looking at Tamamo-no-Mae who remained calm to this day.

My mind calmed down.

"Follow your heart's desires, call upon its name...?"

Kamishiro Himeko began to savor the meaning behind it, ignoring the black goat's enormous mouth drawing ever closer and the clamor of war around her.

Her pure white, beautiful eyes seemed to see through the black goat before her, and even the bearing of the lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

Kamishiro Himeko knew many of the other party's names.

These phrases were all mentioned in Tamamo-no-Mae's prayer.

———Hook Star, Hidden Flight, Night Wanderer, Heavenly Emperor's Maiden, Guhuo, Lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

These are all His name.

However, once you take the time to appreciate it, the hints given by Tamamo-no-Mae are already quite obvious.

These are not the names she should call her at this moment.

She should call out...

As Kamishiro Himeko gazed at the figure of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, the posture that had protected her and saved her life made her gradually merge with the image of a figure with long, gray hair who had died before her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes were misty, and she gently bit her lip as she spoke.

"Mother……"

The next moment, the shadow of the black goat loomed over Himeko and Tamamo-no-Mae.

It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed it whole. With the ancient and strange poison inside its body, it was only a B-level being and could not survive in it.

Furthermore, B-grade flesh and blood are its precious sustenance, enabling it to become even stronger.

Just as the black goat was savoring the food.

Suddenly, the eyes inside the giant mouth stopped moving, filled with bloodshot veins, and the massive body became completely still and stiff.

An immense and surging power is gathering and rising from within it!

“Bang!!”

The black goat burst open like a firework.

……

……

[Himeko-hime became your daughter]

Summer Flower Painting: "?"

[Himeko's affection for you has reached 80]

Summer Flower Painting: "?"

[Hime-hime of the Divine Era possesses royal blood and has met the conditions for granting the Great Tengu template. Grant it?]

【whether】

Summer Flower Painting: "?"

While she was pondering a countermeasure and frantically beating up the old god, she suddenly received this series of messages.

Why did Princess Kamishiro suddenly become her daughter, and why is her loyalty so terrifyingly high?

You know, if she remembers correctly.

This was the first time she had met Himeko.

Little did they know, it was all thanks to Tamamo-no-Mae's frantic support and pyramid scheme tactics.

Moreover, because of Natsumi Hanae's act of protecting and saving Kamishiro Himeko, and her white hair, she felt like a mother in a different form.

Faced with such a situation, Natsumi Hanae naturally had no reason to refuse.

From the very beginning, she had the idea of ​​making Kamishiro Himeko her daughter.
