The villainous second young lady becomes a god in a bizarre Tokyo.

Suddenly.

An extremely magnificent and spectacular scene was reflected in its snake eyes.

A large, lush cherry tree, towering and majestic even taller than a small hill, stands here with its branches and leaves spreading out.

The airflow from the cavity caressed the pink petals, causing them to linger and sway in the air, creating a beautiful and dazzling scene.

On the ground, it was like a sea of ​​cherry blossoms.

However, the black snake did not stop; it twisted its body, moving behind the majestic cherry tree.

"————————————!"

Scene changes.

Behind the pink cherry tree, there was another equally enormous cherry tree, incredibly dark and thick, filled with filthy mud.

The branches, petals, roots—everything was black.

It's as if that cherry tree has been split in two, one half pink and the other half black.

Black Snake did not hesitate at all.

It burrowed into the base of the tree on the black side.

Not long after.

A black cocoon appeared on the black cherry tree and hung there.

"I...will eventually return."

In the ethereal void, a harsh, hoarse voice slowly drifted out along with the black petals.

……

……

Chapter 177: Who is accusing this official's mother?

Day after day.

The black cocoon was growing bigger every second, absorbing nutrients from the cherry tree.

However, the nutrients provided by cherry trees are not unlimited.

When the cherry tree realized that the Yamata no Orochi was not a 'newly born' deity, but rather that it had been deceived in some way, it stopped providing the Yamata no Orochi with nourishment.

Inside the black cocoon, a snake-like shape was constantly writhing, desperately trying to absorb nutrients from the cherry tree.

Even so, it is only a tiny fraction, enough to maintain its own state, and cannot continue to grow.

As for relying on the energy absorbed from the underground, it's impossible to know when one could recover to their full form.

Orochi clearly knew this as well.

"We need to restore our strength in other ways."

The hoarse, bitter-sounding screech of snakes slowly echoed through the area.

He is far too weak now.

When Susanoo killed Him, He used all His power and consciousness to curse Susanoo.

He parasitized the body of the man in the sequel.

Now, Susanoo has lifted the curse in a unique way, leaving only this one consciousness remaining, while the others have been dissolved by the other party.

If all remaining consciousness were gathered together, He should not be as weak as He is now.

Thinking of this, the black cocoon rolled out an incomparably filthy black aura, extremely dark.

It is filled with endless resentment and anger.

"Susanoo...!"

"I will, I will definitely kill you...!"

"I will devour your entire body, I will tear your soul apart! I will stain you with my filthy power!"

The consciousness of Yamata no Orochi showed signs of becoming mixed.

Inside Susanoo's body, and with Susanoo's unique method of removing His curse, Yamata no Orochi's language became somewhat disordered.

He refers to himself as "吾" (wú), but addresses others as "你" (nǐ) instead of "汝" (rǔ), thus mixing up past usage habits with present usage.

Of course, this seemed irrelevant to Him.

The most important thing is how to restore strength.

His power limit still exists; all he needs to do is acquire as much energy as possible.

"Divinity...energy..."

"My power is too weak now to travel to the regions where other gods reside and obtain divinity."

Given Orochi's current state, it would be a miracle if it didn't devour other gods, let alone be beaten up by their unconscious divinity.

Moreover, if the other gods sense the existence of Yamata no Orochi, they will surely awaken a portion of their consciousness, at which point Yamata no Orochi will have no chance to escape.

The Yamata no Orochi was deep in thought.

He quickly came up with a solution.

"The number of people proliferating on the ground now seems to be as numerous as ants, and many of them have generated faint energy."

"Those energies were as if divinity had been diluted a thousand times."

"But as long as I eat a lot..."

"---feasible!"

The Yamata no Orochi roared, and black filth fell from the black cocoon.

It crashed to the ground, splashing out a puddle of mud.

Immediately afterwards, in the silt.

One after another, wisps of foul, purplish-black aura emerged, drifting upwind and gradually seeping into the ground.

When plants encounter the purplish-black airflow, they instantly turn black and lose all vitality.

A rabbit happened to pass by, sniffed the purplish-black scent, and immediately kicked its legs and died.

Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on the abdomen of the dead rabbit.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of flesh being pierced could be heard.

A deep black snake emerged from the rabbit's belly, its tongue flicking out, its cold, serpentine eyes gazing down from the high mountain.

You can see towns in the distance.

It crouched down towards the town and meandered away.

A lynx jumped down from a tree, saw the dead rabbit, took a bite to taste it, but before it could even savor the flavor, it too kicked its legs.

Before long, another black snake emerged from the lynx's head and headed towards the town.

If someone were to observe from this sky, they would see this phenomenon constantly occurring in this large area, with hundreds and thousands of black snakes surging towards the town from all directions.

It can be described as a black snake disaster.

Over thousands of years of development, all humans and animals in this world possess some degree of supernatural power within them. Those with insufficient concentration of supernatural power cannot become superhumans.

Therefore, the black snakes are born from animals, and their targets are the humans and superhumans in the town.

They don't need to kill humans, they just need to...

—Take a bite.

………………

Summer at the family residence.

Since Natsumi Rinrei and Natsumi Yoriyuki had their fight, the Natsumi residence has been unusually quiet for the past few days.

Because Natsumi Yoriyuki, who had not left the Natsumi family residence for a long time, took some of his confidants to Kyoto to meet the Imperial Family of the Age of Gods.

Meanwhile, Natsumi Rinrei took this opportunity to return to the Natsumi family mansion.

She came to Natsumi Hanae to tell her about her achievements.

Summer Rinrei's expression was indescribably high, her two silver-white twin tails swaying energetically as she spoke, drawing with both hands.

"That day, I fought that old guy to a standstill, and neither of us could get the better of the other!"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Hanae nodded gently and responded with a soft pursed cherry lips.

"Ah."

Upon seeing his younger sister, he did not show the surprise he remembered; instead, he was unusually calm.

Xia Rilin raised her eyebrows slightly, sighed, closed her eyes, shook her head, and continued speaking.

"Although that old guy has the strength of a peak A-level, and I am only a low-level A-level, he is not able to suppress me at all."
