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

This is probably why the Kusanagi Sword left Him.

Because... the true owner of the Kusanagi Sword has appeared.

In an instant, Susanoo's thoughts were a jumble of ideas, flashing through his mind one after another.

Although He directly sensed the low-level serpentine deity, He did not consider it to be the Yamata no Orochi, as there were many serpentine deities a thousand years ago.

Moreover, in His memory, the Yamata no Orochi was clearly dead beyond any doubt.

Considering all of the above, He could not have foreseen this situation, which has essentially broken His last trump card.

If He had known that Orochi was still alive, He should have killed it first to eliminate any potential threat.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

Even if He didn't have the ability to travel back in time, it would still be extremely difficult for Him to kill Orochi in front of Natsume Hanae, who possessed all the power at that time.

Although it is unknown why the mysteriously resurrected Yamata no Orochi would join forces with Tsukuyomi.

The good news is that the resurrected Yamata no Orochi is now only slightly weaker than a mid-level god, posing no threat to Him whatsoever.

If the other party were to reach the level of a high-level deity, given His current situation, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.

For those below the intermediate level of deity, it can only be described as a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Although He lost the Kusanagi Sword, the Yamata no Orochi of this level could not cause Him any harm at all.

Even if the opponent possesses the divine nature of curses, the power of the divine nature of curses will be greatly reduced when used across levels, not to mention that the divine nature of thunder itself is to a certain extent able to restrain the divine nature of curses.

Even before the cursed divinity fully reaches Him, Susanoo can use lightning to destroy most of it before cursing Him on himself.

This greatly reduces the duration of the curse.

A thousand years ago, it was precisely because of this restraint that Susanoo was able to crush the Yamata no Orochi with overwhelming force.

If Orochi hadn't sacrificed all its heads, Susanoo would have suffered some injuries at most, but wouldn't have been tormented by its curse for a thousand years.

Now, Susanoo has turned his attention to Natsume Hanae.

Even in his golden pupils, a hint of ferocity surfaced.

This violent aura was not caused by the foul odor, but rather by the fact that Susanoo no longer possessed his former pride and arrogance.

I feel utterly resentful of my current situation and of Summer Flower Painting for causing all of this.

But even so.

He is not without a chance of winning!

Susanoo spoke slowly, and because his divine lightning essence was almost gone, even the thunder in his voice became soft and low.

"Tsukuyomi!"

"Your schemes have indeed been very effective."

"However, don't think that you can win this battle just like that."

"Even though Orochi has taken my Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the outcome is still uncertain."

"Your divinity and defilement have been completely sealed by me. Although I do not know why you can use the aura of death, the aura of death has become very weak, even with your peak divine physical attributes."

"They simply cannot defeat me, who possesses the divinity of thunder!!"

At this point, Susanoo's lips curled into a slightly smug grin.

Although the divine nature of thunder is not abundant, as a deity, the increase in combat power with or without divine blessing is extremely exaggerated; divinity is the essence of a god.

Even two gods with the physical attributes of peak deities but lacking divinity cannot defeat a peak deity who possesses divinity.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a look of interest appeared in Xia Rihua's beautiful, glassy red eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her cherry lips.

"Susanoo, you truly live up to your reputation as a supreme deity; your understanding of divinity is exceptionally profound."

"but……"

The smile on her cherry-blossom lips, painted with summer flowers, grew even more profound.

Even though Susanoo sealed away her divinity and her corrupting power.

However, all that can be sealed is what is within herself.

Summer flowers stir a subtle thought in my heart.

Deep within the body, the Yata Mirror, entwined and nurtured by crimson divinity, is being illuminated by a small amount of Tsukuyomi power and Amaterasu divinity.

Summer Flower is cultivating her own Yata no Kagami in the same way that Amaterasu cultivated her.

Although there are not many within the Yata no Kagami, they still possess the power of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

For example, the power of the hermitage fire exists within the umbrella sword.

This is only natural for a divine artifact.

After all, divine artifacts are unconscious gods, and naturally possess their own 'divinity'.

Otherwise, the divine artifact would be no different from any other weapon made of ordinary extraordinary materials.

Thus, the current Natsume Hanae, manipulating the Yata no Kagami, easily draws a wisp of Amaterasu's divine essence from it and brings it outside her body.

The pure, flawless yet warm light, like the sun quietly floating in the palm of a summer flower painting.

When this day appears.

Although its aura was extremely weak, Susanoo's Great Sun Chart, which was maintained by a large amount of divinity, seemed to have encountered its true master and dimmed considerably in an instant.

And at the moment when Amaterasu's divinity appeared...

Susanoo, who had been showing confidence, suddenly froze. His face, already pale from excessive blood loss, was now completely devoid of color.

The look of horror even overshadowed the rage in his purple eyes as he looked at the ray of sun-like divinity in Natsumi Hanae's palm.

"The aura of the Mother Tree?!?"

"You actually obtained the aura of the Mother Tree?!"

"How did you do that?! How is that possible?! This is absolutely impossible!!!"

Summer Flower ignored Susanoo's shocked expression.

However, he gleaned the information he sought from Susanoo's words and actions.

Just as Orochi had said.

The existence of the deity Amaterasu has undoubtedly been altered in history.

Even Susanoo did not see this divinity, so he called it Amaterasu and also referred to it as the Mother Tree, which is completely consistent with what Yamata no Orochi said.

It is unclear whether the mother tree later developed consciousness and became Amaterasu.

Whether Amaterasu was the original deity from the beginning, standing above the gods, transforming into the Mother Tree, and creating the gods, remains unknown.

Of course, the summer flower painting only speculated on two possibilities.

In reality, the situation may be more complicated.

Moreover, regardless of anything else, the fact that the gods all fell asleep a thousand years ago is an extremely strange event.

Susanoo forcefully suppressed the panic in his heart.

He was naturally baffled as to how Tsukuyomi could obtain the power of the Mother Tree through mysterious means.

but……

"No matter how powerful the mother tree is, you only possess a wisp of its power, which is utterly insufficient to fundamentally alter the course of the battle..."

Well------?!!!

The next second, Susanoo's throat seemed to be blocked, and he could no longer speak.

All I could see was that in His eyes...

Summer Flower Painting gently pats Amaterasu's divinity against her chest.

In an instant, endless, dazzling light, like the sun warming the earth, shone brightly upon the entire body of Summer Flower Painting.

—————Purification.

And so, the divine radiance began to revive.

There was no buffer, no prelude.

Instead, it transformed directly into an extreme and surging climax, like a flood that had been released, spreading outward with an unparalleled and unstoppable surging power, its divine might as a prison.

A vast and boundless divinity.

The sheer amount of divinity itself, without the use of any techniques, caused the surrounding celestial phenomena to reverse, sweeping away the clouds and forming an absolute center.

Summer flowers painted her toes lightly leaving the ground.

The next moment, colorful feathers appeared on its smooth, white back, then transformed into wings, which rapidly expanded and evolved into nine enormous phoenix heads that blotted out the sky.

The phoenix head pierced through the clouds above the nine heavens, then turned back down again, its scarlet vertical pupils flashing with a violent gleam as they stared at Susanoo.

It seems that the slightest movement from the other side will trigger an immediate and coordinated attack.

This terrifying aura sent chills down Susanoo's spine.
