I don't want to be a heroic spirit

As soon as she stepped into this space, countless records and information entered Altria's mind in a very brutal way.

It’s like being in an infinite void.

This is a space where spirit is superior to matter, so you cannot move with your legs, but rather with your spirit. You only need to build the place you want to go in your mind, and you can arrive there in an instant.

Because it was her first time, Artoria was still getting familiar with the operation.

At this moment, the space around Altria suddenly shattered like glass.

The terrifying storm swept around Altria's body, and sharp space fragments were everywhere around her. The powerful pulling force tried to pull Altria into the bottomless void.

A figure slowly walked out from behind a tree. After seeing that Altria's figure was completely swallowed by the dark crack, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...it should be fine. Even if she was caught in the space storm, even if she didn't die, she wouldn't be able to come back here. She must have been swept into another world."

Susanoo showed a smile of success, and it was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time.

Japanese mythology is a fusion of multiple myths, which also leads to the fact that Japanese gods have quite complex divinity.

As one of the three noble sons of Takama-ga-hara, Susanoo is not only the god of the sea, the god of war, and the god of storms, but also the god of conspiracy and theft.

His weapon, the Kusanagi sword, inherited his divine nature of "stealing". When Kusanagi Godou used this sword, he stole the power of gods and godslayers.

Just now, Susanoo used his ability as the "God of Thieves" to prevent Altria from discovering him.

At the same time, he is also the god of conspiracy. After determining that fighting with Artoria is not a good idea, he began to set traps.

Because he was in the underworld, Susanoo was able to deduce and know part of the future, so he "saw" what Altria had done and what she was going to do, and used this information gap to make arrangements.

"The most troublesome one has been dealt with. Then there are the two outside... I think that one is called Mordred, right? The rebellious knight is so obedient. Does she have such a good relationship with her mother?"

"She's clearly the witch who destroyed nations and the one who annihilated Britain, yet she's here to help that God-Ancestor awaken the Last King. I really don't know what this woman is thinking..."

Susanoo's brow was filled with worry. The arrival of Altria and the others really caught him off guard.

Especially Artoria. In the future he saw while in the underworld, he didn't even have the option of making peace. The other party was determined to kill him.

"She's just a crazy woman! Did I do anything to provoke her? Why would she fight me to the death?"

"It's all her fault. She's ruined this old man's plan, which took me over fifty years to successfully lay out... Although it hasn't been completely destroyed yet, as long as I can find a god to replace Veleslana and a magic tool to replace the Prometheus secret book, I can still make that Kusanagi Godou my puppet Godslayer. Then, I can place Ena and another miko next to him to control him and have him take the stage in my place..."

Susanoo paced in place. "Let's think about these things carefully later. The problem hasn't been solved yet... Those two people seem to be going to break the seal of the Monkey God?"

"Although the Monkey God is far inferior to the Last King, he's still an extremely powerful Steel. Although his essence as Steel isn't pure, but rather a blend of other things, I have to admit that his strength is quite high. He's one of the strongest Steels out there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen him to be the 'Cleanser'."

"If they fought the Monkey King, this country would suffer a huge blow, right? More importantly, no matter who wins, they will eventually come after me..."

Susanoo didn't want to be in that kind of situation. No matter whether his opponent was Mordred or the Monkey God, he had no absolute chance of winning, so he wanted to avoid that situation as much as possible.

Susanoo, who possesses a composite divinity, has a very contradictory and complex personality. As the god of war and storms, he is very warlike and bloodthirsty. However, as the god of conspiracy and intrigue, he is very timid and hates to fight battles he is not sure of. In the myth, he killed the Yamata-no-Orochi only after getting the other party drunk with wine.

Simply put, he's just an old bitch.

"Perhaps... I can lure the Martial Arts Queen from China here and have her take care of Mordred and the Monkey King, who have become weakened after the battle?"

Compared to the country of Japan, Susanoo is more worried about himself, and the martial arts king has no idea of ​​his existence, so he can use him without worry.

"Hahahahaha! Let's do it! If it goes well, maybe we can get rid of that annoying martial arts king too."

"If the continent across the sea loses its God Slayer, then we'll have more to do in that country..."

Stroking his chin, Susanoo grinned.

But at this moment, his gaze suddenly froze, as if he had sensed something, and a deep sense of horror continued to emerge from his eyes.

"This is impossible!"

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the pitch-black crack, from which even light seemed unable to escape, as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.

As he watched, a foot stepped out from the crack, and suppressed cursed energy filled the surroundings.

"Nothing is impossible."

Walking out of the dark space crack, Artoria looked calm and composed. The storm that could even tear space apart seemed like a breeze to her.

Chapter 410 Because you are weak.

Facing Susanoo's horrified gaze, Artoria slowly walked out of the darkness, her heavy armor making crisp sounds with every step she took.

The hideous patterns like blood vessels climbed up her cheeks again, making her delicate face look extremely terrifying. A pair of gilded eyes stared at Susanoo quietly, coldly as if looking at an insignificant dead person.

"You are shocked and terrified because I have ruined the trap you carefully planned."

Altria stared at Susanoo and spoke slowly.

"You seem confused? There's nothing difficult to understand, right? I'm just stronger...it's that simple."

Susanoo still didn't speak, and to be honest, Altria felt a little bored.

"You have one last chance. If you don't have any other means... I will kill you."

Although through the records of the underworld, Susanoo "saw" Altria many times.

However, this was the first time they had face-to-face contact.

When the terrifying momentum came like a tidal wave, Susanoo felt a little dazed.

"Hmph! I'll admit it, you're stronger than I thought. I misjudged your strength! Witch!"

As a god, Susanoo was unwilling to show weakness in front of the other party due to his pride. All the muscles and bones in his body made a crackling sound, and he looked much taller.

When he said the word "witch", Artoria, who was confronting him, twitched her brows imperceptibly.

"But is this okay?"

It's unclear whether it was a bluff or not, but Susanoo still had a confident smile on his face. "I can sense the blood in you... You're a seasoned warrior, a brave man, a fierce warrior. Don't you know? Too much arrogance and contempt for your opponent will only bring you disastrous defeat!"

"I don't think it matters."

Facing Susanoo's words, Artoria just shook her hands and said lightly with an indifferent look...

"Because you are weak."

At this moment, something seemed to break.

As if she hadn't noticed the other person's expression... or as if she had noticed it but didn't care at all, Altria continued, "If my opponent were you, no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't think I'd lose."

Looking at Susanoo again, he lowered his head at this moment and his face could not be seen. Only his slightly trembling shoulders could be seen. His hidden aura reminded people of the vast ocean. The oppressive calm foreshadowed the coming storm that would destroy everything.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in the sky.

The originally cloudless blue sky was once again covered by inky black clouds.

The God of Storms vented his divine power wantonly, and the divine thunder that kept appearing in the sky was his wrath.

"How dare you say that...you witch!"

Susanoo suddenly laughed, but that smile was as ferocious as that of an Asura demon. His black beard and hair stood up like a lion's mane, and the violent curse power that matched the name of the God of Storms overflowed and turned into a hurricane that rushed straight into the sky.

"I don't know how you managed to cover yourself with the shell of the 'King of the Last King' and use some of his power, but you are ultimately just an imposter!"

"Let me show you! The true power of Steel!"

"I am Susanoo no Mikoto! One of the Three Noble Sons of Takamagahara! O steel that breaks a thousand blades, I command you to return to my hands at once!"

What Susanoo called out was his divine weapon.

According to the myth, he used the Totsuka sword to kill the Yamata no Orochi, and finally took another sword from its tail.

The sword was later said to be one of the three sacred treasures of Japan.

Its name is Kusanagi Sword, and it also has another name - Ame-no-Murasakumo Sword.

The true essence of Steel is to "plunder the power of the Earth Mother (dragon snake)", and the legend of taking the sword of Ame-no-Murakumo from the body of Yamata no Orochi perfectly meets this condition.

Therefore, Susanoo, who holds the sword of Ame Murakumo, is also an extremely powerful heroic god of steel!

The barrier separating the human world and the netherworld was opened, and a sword flew through the cave and into Susanoo's hands.

The fierce murderous intent locked onto Altria. Because he was in the underworld, Susanoo's divine power was not restricted by the human world and could fully unleash!

Altria could feel the strong wind around her constantly squeezing her body, and she felt as if she was falling towards the bottom of the sea, her body temperature being deprived bit by bit.

"See? This is my true form!"

As if showing off his might to Artoria, Susanoo grinned and said, "I am the storm! I am the strongest! I will conquer all the barbarians in the south, north, east, and west, and destroy the war god of the outsiders! That is me!"

Faster than the words he shouted, Susanoo rushed towards Artoria with sword in hand.

The biting wind, the fierce rain and the vast sea were all poured into this sword!

An extremely heavy blow slashed towards Altria's slender neck!

“Haha! Hahahahahaha!”

Susanoo laughed wildly like a madman, staring at Altria's face intently.

He looked forward to seeing panic, fear, and pleading on those contemptuous faces, hoping that the cold and motionless expression would change because of his attack.

However, he was disappointed.

That look, that expression, was without any warmth or emotion.

His gaze didn't even linger on him, but looked towards a place even further away...

Seeing that the almost perfect sword was about to fall, Artoria finally moved.

She threw the sword from her right hand to her left. The hilt made a crisp sound when it hit the gauntlet, but it was quickly drowned out by the tsunami-like slashing attack.

However, there was a voice that could be clearly heard even under the waves.

"The iron hammer of the humble king, the reversal of the rising light... [Sword of Promised Victory]—!"

Beneath the surging waves that seemed to recreate the mythical flood of God cleansing the world, a flash of pitch black suddenly appeared.

So, the sea evaporated...

Relaxing her arms, Artoria lowered her sword, letting the tip point diagonally toward the ground.

Behind her, Susanoo stood with his legs straight.

But above the waist... there was nothing left.

Only pitch-black flames were leaping, clinging to the charred areas and refusing to retreat, like little devils from hell devouring the flesh and blood of gods. The disgusting smell of burnt flesh filled the hot air.

The sword Ame Murakumo fell not far away, and only a short piece of the sword body connected to the hilt remained, and the broken end was completely melted.

Moreover, Ame-no-Murasakumo is actually a subordinate god of Susanoo, possessing a sword spirit and spirituality.

But now, there is no spirituality left in this sword.

It's like being dead.

411

Chapter 411 The Seven Great Sages.

After killing Susanoo, Artoria left the underworld.

She knew that Susanoo had several companions staying in the underworld, one of whom was the reincarnation of Sita, the wife of the last king Rama.

However, Artoria has no interest in her, even though in the original book this Sita provided considerable help to the hero in his battle with Rama.

If she gets Sita's help, she will be more confident in fighting Rama.

But she did not intend to do so because she was not sure what Sita would think of her.

And... perhaps she was influenced by the madness, or perhaps it was Hei Dai's own spiritual base that affected her personality, but now she is very reluctant to rely on the power of others in battle.

Especially someone like Kusanagi Godou... In the original work, every time he encountered a strong enemy, he would flee in a panic, and then after he was safe, he would kiss others to gain relevant knowledge and then use the golden sword that could cut off power to defeat the opponent, as if nothing could be done without his harem... This made Artoria really think of "just kill him off".

Although they all have harems, Gokawa Shido, Kamijou Touma, and Hyoudou Issei are much better than him. These three people really give people the feeling that "he deserves to have a harem" or "I feel sorry for him if he doesn't have a harem."

Speaking of Kamijou Touma... Although Artoria hadn't read the novels of Toaru Majutsu no Index, she had heard some news... I heard Touma died again? And he died of exhaustion, standing straight when he died.

I heard from netizens that this isn't the first time Touma has died, and he'll definitely be back soon...

The author is such a thief, just let Touma have a harem...otherwise he's really too pitiful...

"Ok?"
