Izanagi was furious!
Even if it was his son, eating his own brothers and sisters was utterly taboo in his eyes!
What's more, the black, slimy thing in front of him wasn't even his son. It felt familiar, but he could swear to the gods that he had never given birth to such a pitch-black creature!
"Oh, my father, you finally came!"
Hiruko pressed one of his younger brothers' heads into his chest, then turned around and grinned at Izanagi, baring a mouthful of bone-white teeth.
Although he had never heard the language, Izanagi understood what the clump of black sludge meant.
Father?
When had he gotten a pitch-black son who fed on his own siblings?
"Silence! How could I have a son like you? I don't remember ever giving birth to a son like you! Shut your mouth, you fiend! How dare you devour my children right in front of me! I'll blast you to smithereens!!!"
Izanagi pointed at Hiruko, roared, and charged at him.
"Father, even now, you still refuse to acknowledge me? How disappointing!"
Watching Izanagi, Hiruko grabbed one of his brothers by the neck and stuffed him into his body.
Brother, you smell so good!
As expected of Father's child! My brother! You taste so good!
"Gah! Shut up!"
At the sight, Izanagi's eyes nearly burst with rage. In an instant, he appeared beside Hiruko.
"Fiend, prepare to die! Behold my Demon-Slaying, Son-Rescuing Fist!"
Driven by his love for his children, he summoned infinite power, turned the whole world, and reversed everything.
A dazzling light appeared around Izanagi's fist. He swung it straight at Hiruko, intent on blasting him to pieces.
He was going to kill this son who claimed to be his child—who really was his child, but whom he didn't recognize at all and
