Did You Peek at the Script? / Battle at Tenmangu

Do you know what art is?

"Hehe."

Sugawara no Michizane smiled slightly, his fingers gesturing as if a lotus flower bloomed.

Grand Preceptor: "Your mother is dead."

Grand Preceptor: "Why didn't I shoot you against the wall back then?"

Hanazawa Sakura is my wife. "Hehe, I'm your dad."

Then the two IDs exchanged enthusiastic greetings.

Section 287, Chapter 271: Did they peek at the script?

Finally, Inoue Hikoo went offline because he had to work.

"Ha, mortals."

The Great Heavenly God Tenman, Tianman, smiled stoically, neither elated nor saddened by external gains, and did not feel joy because of this small victory.

But the way He stroked his beard betrayed him.

Meanwhile, Shuya was leading the Monster back to the Monster City, and was about to fly to the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine Divine Domain.

The Great Heavenly God Tenman, seeing the ID "Hanazawa Sakura is my wife," had a sudden thought and pulled out a scroll from thin air.

The scroll is unrolled, revealing Inoue Hikoo's life story up to the present.

This God of Learning can access knowledge at any time, and biographies are also a part of knowledge.

Sugawara no Michizane looked at the record, which contained experiences that even Inoue Hikoo himself had forgotten.

For example, every single word he's ever said to anyone throughout his life.

As He watched, He couldn't help but feel very curious—how could he have grown so big and still not been beaten to death?

It's truly a miracle of the world; true kindness still exists among people.

He observed the life of Inoue Hikoo.

Just as Sugawara no Michizane closed the scroll, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why do I suddenly want to look at his information?

The Great Heavenly God Tenman calmed down and pondered for a few seconds, but found nothing amiss and sensed nothing was about to happen.

However, He would not be at ease.

Having a wealth of combat experience, He knew that concealing one's destiny was difficult, but not impossible.

He decided to investigate further.

Sugawara no Michizane knew that nothing necessarily would happen, but having traversed countless battlefields, he would not ignore the potential dangers.

Shuya had already left the Monster City and was flying towards the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine Divine Domain.

A thought suddenly popped into Sugawara no Michizane:

This prudence is the biggest difference between His God and Inari God, who doesn't need to go to the battlefield.

I am one of the few gods who did not participate in the Age of Gods during the World Wars.

... Wait, why did I suddenly think of Inari God and the Age of Gods?

Sugawara no Michizane stroked his beard and examined himself more carefully, but still couldn't find anything wrong.

Suddenly, He looked at the scroll in His hand, and a gleam of wisdom flashed in His eyes.

The next moment, countless scrolls appeared in the air and were opened one by one, revealing the life stories of all the people related to Inoue Hikoo to the Great Heavenly God Tenman Daijizaitenjin.

A flood of information rushed through His mind, and He quickly realized something was wrong.

"Huh?"

He paused slightly, then reached out and took a scroll.

The scroll was completely blank.

"Inoue Shuya."

Sugawara no Michizane silently read out the name of the scroll's owner.

"That's strange, there was text when I looked at it before."

Great Heavenly God Tenman knew Inoue Shuya.

The creator of Nico Nico Douga, a famous child star, voice actor, model, one of the Main Family Cardcaptor Sakura, the Alliance Leader the Japan Monster Alliance, or...

Inoue Hikoo's son.

Sugawara no Michizane still remembered something unusual about Shuya's life when he was alive.

The record states that he took "---" as his master.

He even sent his men to look up his teacher's name, and they found a familiar one.

Spear God.

From that moment on, Sugawara no Michizane remembered Inoue Shuya's name.

Therefore, He knew clearly that Shuya's scroll had writing on it before.

"... What secret technique did he master?"

Sugawara no Michizane immediately came up with an idea.

"And then, combining this with the sudden thought of Inari God and the Age of Gods... they perished? They were killed by Inoue Shuya?"

The Great Heavenly God Tenman, Tenman, said with a serious expression, "And then, the next target is... me?"

Just then, He sensed someone intruding into the Divine Domain, and He instinctively called out from afar:

"What deity has dared to trespass upon my sacred realm...?"

The Great Heavenly God Tenman suddenly recalled his own speculation.

"Forget it, let's fight first and talk about it later!"

Sugawara no Michizane divine Divine Power, locking onto the intruder's aura, and instantly unleashed a thunderous strike that cleaved through the air.

"Holy shit!"

Shuya was caught off guard and struck by lightning. Fortunately, Black Tortoise's defensive ability was instinctive, and a ring of light with tortoise shell cracks appeared around him, blocking the lightning.

Shuya stopped his body and transformed back into human form from Vermilion Bird.

He flicked his hand, gathering his subordinates on the ground without scattering them, because he discovered that the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine Divine Domain was already filled with various Divine Power, forming a battle formation.

As expected of the Great Heavenly God Tenman has experienced various great battles, he instantly realized that it was not on the same level as the Inari Divine Domain.

And it seems that the Great Heavenly God Tenman is not asleep?

He was never injured?

Shuya's eyes swept over the beautiful scenery of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine's Divine Domain, and he immediately spotted a handsome old god floating in the distant sky, his peaceful gaze scrutinizing him.

"Inoue Shuya?"

Sugawara no Michizane recognized him at a glance.

"... That's right."

Shuya said solemnly, "Inoue Shuya, Alliance Leader of the Japan Monster Alliance, Great Heavenly God Tenman!"

He bowed, Sugawara no Michizane no Michizane returned the bow.

Then He asked directly, "Why have you trespassed into my Divine Domain?"

Shuya said, "I was assassinated by the Inari Shrine not long ago. They say you were an accomplice, and I've come here to seek justice!"

He shamelessly uses the same excuse, and he will continue to use it.

"Hehe, you're so funny."

The Great Heavenly God Tenman, smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He knew it was an excuse, but He didn't comment. Instead, He asked with a hint of curiosity, "What's wrong with Inari God?"

Shuya had nothing to hide. "... I have freed them; a new god will be born in the future."

"I see."

Great Heavenly God Tenman had already figured it out. He calmly said, "You want to gather the power of gods and Monster to save people? In other words, the ultimate target is Amaterasu?"

"..."

Shuya scratched his head and said, "Yes."

Damn, did this old man peek at the script?

Sugawara no Michizane pondered, "After all these years, has someone finally dared to defy Amaterasu's authority again?"

He didn't hide what he said, Shuya, upon hearing it, asked in surprise, "You mean again? Who was the last one?"

The Great Heavenly God Tenman stroked his beard and stated the fact in a calm tone. "It is indeed I."

... You're such a show-off.

Shuya took some time to process the news.

Sugawara no Michizane had a grudge against Amaterasu Omikami.

In order to become a god, He killed the prince and grandson of the emperor and even frightened the Emperor to death, which is why He was at odds with Amaterasu.

The Emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu Omikami. In the realm of the extraordinary, everyone knows that the Emperor's lineage was originally just a Strange Arts who stole Amaterasu Omikami's power.

They defeated all their enemies in fierce battles and ascended to the Emperor; they were not born rulers of Japan.

The Emperor Family is the most powerful and extraordinary family in Japan.

However---

It's all in the past now.

The Emperor Family was wiped out by Western superhumans during the later stages of the World War. The survivors went to the Divine Domain for refuge. After the war, they wanted to come out and rule Japan again, but the Earth Federation drove them back and refused to play with them.

This isn't just the case for Japan royalty; the same applies to royal families in countries like the United Kingdom.

During world wars, members of the royal family who could demoralize their members by killing them were always on the assassination list.

In today's Earth, any royal families that can be named are relics of the past.

Chapter 288, Section 272: Fierce Battle at Tenmangu

Shuya heard Sugawara no Michizane say that, he realized there was a possibility that they wouldn't fight.

He said, "In that case, why don't you, Heavenly God- sama, form an alliance with me and launch another counterattack against Amaterasu Omikami?"

Sugawara no Michizane smiled. "Your suggestion is very appealing, but..."

As He looked at Shuya, countless greetings from Inoue Hikoo flashed through His mind.

Inoue Hikoo was just a mortal; He wouldn't stoop to his level.

But...

But the son standing before him was no ordinary man.

Sugawara no Michizane smiled compassionately at Shuya: "Alliance Leader the Monster Alliance, have you ever heard the saying, 'The son pays for the father's debts'?"

Of course.

Shuya suddenly felt a sense of unease, sensing that something was beyond his control.

Although the Heavenly God appeared kind, Shuya could tell that his eyes weren't smiling.

Shuya had experienced many major battles and had long since developed a strong fighting instinct.

He sensed that the Great Heavenly God Tenman was on the eve of a volcanic eruption.
