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

Summer Rinrei, Chikari Makoto, Kamishiro Himeko, Shiro, Kuchiki Mei, Kujo Mion, Hoshikawa Oto, and others arrived here.

Looking at the devastated scene around them, a look of shock appeared in their eyes.

Upon seeing the victor standing in the center, a look of surprise quickly welled up in his heart.

"Mom, are you alright?"

Chikuri Shin took the lead, even using a small amount of his divine power, and quickly arrived at Natsumi Hanae's side.

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Hanae nodded.

she said softly.

"You all did a good job in this battle."

"I have already killed Susanoo."

"but……"

"This does not mean that the enemy has been completely eliminated."

Summer flowers painted her slightly pursed cherry lips, her bright red glass-like eyes gazing at the dazzling sun in the sky, a strange look in her expression.

All the daughters looked toward the sun.

Among them, Himeko was the first to react. Her pure white eyes contained a hint of blue, no longer pure, but her level and charm were twice as strong as before.

A hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she spoke.

"The location of the sun is in the direction of Takamagahara."

Then, Himeko picked up the Yata no Kagami again, looked at this divine artifact, and continued speaking.

"Father and grandfather..."

"I'm afraid they lost themselves in the battle more than a decade ago and became Amaterasu's puppet."

Himeko clenched her fists.

By thinking in this direction, all her doubts can be resolved.

Why is there such a big difference between her father's and grandfather's personalities and behaviors when she was a child and how they are now?

It is obvious that Amaterasu is gradually taking control of her father and grandfather, rewriting their will.

Grandpa was slightly stronger and put up some resistance, but now that Amaterasu has awakened a portion of her consciousness, even if Grandpa were a god, let alone an A-rank peak cultivator, he would have no chance of resisting after Amaterasu invaded most of her consciousness.

I can see the emotions of Princess Kamishiro.

Summer Flower pursed her cherry lips, touched Kamishiro Hime's face with her right hand, and comforted her.

Himeko Kamishiro quickly suppressed the stirrings in her heart.

Facing the summer floral painting, I took a deep breath and continued to explain.

"Just now, Amaterasu's consciousness seemed to have revived and directly controlled most of my consciousness. It may have been linked to my bloodline. I could only barely resist and prevent my consciousness from being erased."

“In the Yata no Kagami, threads of Amaterasu’s divine nature also appeared, attempting to completely manipulate and erase my consciousness.”

"Thanks to Tamamo-no-Mae for coming up with a solution, and with the help of many of her sisters."

"By forcibly activating the Great Tengu template power that belongs to me, Mother, and thus forcibly driving away Amaterasu's consciousness, I can feel that the all-encompassing superpower is constantly weakening."

"However, my divinity is growing stronger, and the gale is becoming more powerful."

Upon hearing Himeko's words, Natsume Hanae immediately understood what the other weak Amaterasu consciousness that had appeared in the distance earlier was all about.

Because she had been fighting with all her might, and because her consciousness had quickly faded that day, she hadn't paid much attention. So that's what happened.

She knew from the beginning that Amaterasu seemed to be able to manipulate and influence people she had planted with certain methods.

We don't know the exact upper limit or the range, which is something to be wary of.

However, his own template power seems to have a way to restrain this forced manipulation.

After all, no matter how weak Amaterasu's consciousness power is, its essence is above that of a god. It should be quite easy for her to manipulate a being that has not yet reached the level of a god but contains her own rich bloodline.

More than a decade ago, I used the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) because Amaterasu's consciousness had not awakened at all, which is completely different from the situation now.

In that case, it's highly likely that the power of the template can overcome this forced manipulation.

Originally, Natsume did not want to bring her daughters with her when she fought Amaterasu in the final battle, because she did not know whether Amaterasu, who was above the gods, could be forcibly controlled when they were extremely close.

However, if the power of the template can overcome this, the daughters, once they master special divinity, may play a crucial role in certain aspects.

Since that's the case, let's set aside some time to allow our daughters to further improve their skills.

……

Chapter 290: Summer Flower Painting Isn't Some Demon After All

However, improving the daughters' abilities can be put on hold for a while.

I need to tally up what I gained from absorbing Susanoo and Amaterasu's consciousness later.

Summer Flower could sense that even though she was quite a distance from Takamagahara.

However, the constant radiance of that sun reveals the state of Amaterasu's consciousness reviving from the summer flower paintings. There is still some time to prepare for this; one cannot be too hasty.

Within a limited timeframe, we must maximize our strength as much as possible.

And to find the right opportunity to deliver a sudden and devastating blow to Amaterasu, these two options need to be balanced.

Then, Natsume looked at the somewhat absent-minded Himeko and knew that she was grieving for the deaths of her father and grandfather. She spoke softly.

"Hime, it will take several more days for Amaterasu to fully awaken."

"Take a moment to calm down."

Upon hearing this, Himeko nodded slightly.

Then, Natsumi Hanae looked at her daughters and continued speaking.

"We have very little time left. Amaterasu is about to fully awaken and is full of malice towards me. We cannot be the passive party."

"Instead, we need to take the initiative."

"You should take this opportunity to digest the experience and strength gained from this battle."

"We need to stay together for the next few days, just in case."

"I will notify you immediately once I observe any unusual activity from Amaterasu."

Summer Flower said softly.

As she sorted out her thoughts and made arrangements, she walked towards the Summer Ancestral Residence, hoping that the damage to the residence was not too severe.

At the beginning, during the battle with Susanoo in the Summer Palace.

She also deliberately protected the west gate where she was located.

However, when the battle escalated to high altitudes and began to move and bombard erratically, she had no time to pay attention to these things.

The aftershocks of some of the fighting may also reach the Summer Palace.

On the journey.

A hint of unease flickered in Chikari Makoto's golden eyes, and she wasn't very enthusiastic. She walked at the very back of the group.

Summer Flower Painting knows each of her daughters very well.

When he looked around and didn't see Chikari Makoto, nor did he have Chikari Makoto's usual garrulous chatter, he immediately felt that something was missing.

Her beautiful, red, glass-like eyes looked back.

Then I saw Chikari Makoto with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

She furrowed her brows slightly and spoke to Chishou Shin.

"real?"

"Do you have any doubts in your mind? Don't hold back, just speak your mind."

Upon hearing Natsumi Hanae's words, Chikari Makoto's golden eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace to reach Natsumi Hanae's side.

Her expression showed repeated hesitation, but she still spoke slowly.

"Mom, why didn't you use my divine weapon in the previous battle? Did you think it was too weak...?"

"My divine artifact is utterly inadequate to contend with a supreme god..."

Summer Flower, hearing Chikari Makoto's words, sensed the other's growing sense of loss.

He quickly interrupted the other person.

She pursed her cherry lips slightly, smiled warmly, and said softly.

"how could be."

"It is precisely because your artifact is so important that I did not let you reveal its abilities so quickly."

"If Amaterasu finds out first, then when we face the real Amaterasu, there will be no unexpected results."

"That's why I didn't let Zhen use the artifact."
