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

So, this wisp of foul air, though extremely small in quantity, was highly concentrated and contained unpredictable changes.

It even contains a divine quality that is extremely difficult to detect.

The superhumans couldn't possibly detect it, but Natsume Hanae herself possessed extraordinary cognitive abilities in her current state, coupled with her own divinity stemming from the absorption of the divinity of numerous gods.

Having reached a level as vast as the ocean, their sensitivity to divinity is naturally quite acute.

As a result, Natsume Hanae even suspected that it contained a trace of the will of the Yamata no Orochi.

After all, the reason why the God of Calamity is called the God of Calamity is because its power also contains the source of divinity, and it is not purely a source of filth.

If only pure filth remains, then there is no difference between a calamity god and a monster.

After all, the foul air is a highly purified form of strange power.

If a calamity god is left with only filth, it becomes a high-level anomaly, completely losing its rationality and no longer being called a calamity god.

Divinity, however, occupies only a small portion of the power within the God of Calamity.

But it is extremely important.

Therefore, the crystal core contains a trace of the Yamata no Orochi's divinity, which means that the other party must have some ulterior motive.

If the concentrated foul air is meant to corrupt those who consume the crystal core.

So, regarding divinity...

In Xia Rihua's mind, the effects of divine possession kept flashing through her mind, and she finally confirmed a very likely use.

A faint, amused smile involuntarily appeared on her cherry lips.

said softly.

"I see."

Her gaze also fell upon the crystal core in Himeko's hand, and a countermeasure against Orochi's plan arose simultaneously.

Since that's the case, there's no need for further doubts; she just needs to play along.

Thinking of this, Natsumi Hanae spoke up.

"Ji Ming, may I absorb this crystal core?"

After all, this crystal core was the spoils of Kamishiro Himeko's war. Natsume Hanae was not like a daughter who would take things without asking, acting like a willful mother.

Therefore, asking questions is still necessary.

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Kamishiro Himeko's eyes.

My mother has already ascended to the realm of gods, so any increase in her supernatural power should be of no use to the other party.

Moreover, while this level of anomaly within the crystal core might be considered quite significant for a B-level ability user, the improvement it would provide for Mother would be negligible.

Of course, even with her doubts, Princess Kamishiro agreed to her mother's request without hesitation.

"Okay, Mother."

After she finished speaking, she handed the crystal core to Summer Flower Painting.

After obtaining the crystal core, Natsume Hanae gave Himeko a final instruction.

"Hime, although there is a lot of easily absorbed alien power in the crystal core, I suspect it is related to the conspiracy of Orochi."

"As a former supreme deity, it would never have done something so self-destructive for the benefit of others; it's as if it was specifically designed for superhumans to absorb."

"Watch out for yourself."

Natsuhi Hanae did not detect any foul aura from Kamishiro Hime's body.

Clearly, Himeko is not using this item now.

After all, the royal family of the Gods had abundant extraordinary resources, and Princess Mikoto of the Gods really didn't need to use crystal cores.

However, Natsumi Hanae felt that the royal family of the Age of Gods would most likely use crystal cores on their subordinates, which contained a large amount of easily absorbed extraordinary resources.

Her words were merely a reminder to Himeko Kamishiro not to use the crystal core.

And in this filthy place, conserve your supernatural power.

The Yamata no Orochi's use of the crystal core was almost a blatant act of deception.

Even if someone notices the anomaly of the crystal core, in the filthy land, other extraordinary resources besides the crystal core are simply unusable.

Once used, the supernatural power within the extraordinary materials will be contaminated or consumed by the foul air in the atmosphere.

However, if a superhuman encounters too many battles in the filth, resulting in a depletion of their superhuman power, then the filth will enter their body.

Therefore, only the crystal core can be used.

after all……

The crystal core contains concentrated filth and a trace of the Yamata no Orochi's divinity, so it can certainly be used.

This was deliberately manipulated by Yamata no Orochi.

Summer Flower held the crystal core, feeling only a slight chill.

The next moment, instead of using the fire to burn and devour it, she simply used her own supernatural power to envelop it, and the crystal core instantly melted and entered Natsumi Hanae's body.

A wisp of winding, coiling black line suddenly came to life, like a slender snake.

It swims within the body of the summer flower painting, preparing to strike the heart directly.

However, just as it was about to reach the heart area...

"Buzz—!"

A clear, soft clang of swords rang out, and the black lines immediately stopped moving, frozen in place, too stunned to move.

It's important to know that the umbrella sword has been nurtured within Natsumi Hanae's body.

And it's located right in her heart area.

It won't allow anything to come to this area.

In fact, Natsumi Hanae did not want to stop the movement of the black lines, because she was afraid that if she tried to stop them, her plan would not work.

But, the next moment.

She doesn't need to worry.

The black thread entered the body, almost touching the heart in an instant.

At that towering Mount Fuji, where once covered in snow, now turned into scorched black earth.

Inside the crater.

A gaze filled with bloodlust and violence swept over them.

—I see you.

Suddenly, an unparalleled pressure assaulted Xia Rihua, its divine might like a prison.

It was filled with a filthy and terrifying aura.

The surrounding foul air spiraled and spread wildly towards the Summer Flower Painting area, exerting pressure layer by layer.

The air became incredibly thick, and a suffocating feeling washed over me.

It felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on my back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Tengu assassins could not withstand this level of pressure.

They all knelt down on the ground.

The ground where he knelt was cracked like a spider web, and he knelt down to create a pit.

Not only that, the Tengu assassin's knee was also completely fractured in an instant.

Kamishiro Himeko's face was pale, fine beads of sweat streamed down her forehead, and her whole body trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

The only person she knelt before was her mother.

No one else should even think about making her kneel!

Under this pressure, the strange power within Kamishiro Himeko's body spun wildly, along with the wisp of divinity that Natsume had given to Kamishiro Himeko.

In doing so, it was also gently pulled in and slightly drawn into the realm of rotation.

The divine nature, devoid of any attributes, was tinged with the color of Princess Mikoto from the Age of Gods.

In an instant, the pressure on Himeko was greatly reduced.

She stood up.

Seeing this, Natsumi Hanae looked at Kamishiro Hime with a look of satisfaction and approval.

She abandoned her plan to help Princess Kamishiro.

Her gaze fixed on the crater, her beautiful, red glass-like eyes transformed into dazzling, crimson vertical pupils, glaring back with an even more violent and destructive divine aura.

As Yamata no Orochi gazed at her, she also gazed back at Yamata no Orochi.

However, a shocking scene then unfolded before her eyes.

"Intermediate...god?!"
