You're the Stronger One Now!

"Like Heavenly God?"

"Enough talk! Since you dared to barge in, it means you're prepared for the consequences!"

Rumble!

The Great Heavenly God Tenman, with his white hair flowing freely, spread his arms and roared to the sky. The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and terrifying Divine Arts such as lightning, thunder, and lightning balls were all thrown at Shuya.

"Then let's fight!"

Shuya shouted, and behind him appeared a pair of crimson-gold fire wings and a pair of black flame wings. The four wings swelled to an unprecedented size, extending over a hundred meters away, and the two pairs of wings emitted two kinds of flames.

The lightning bolts struck in succession, seemingly about to tear Shuya apart. Shuya's flames were barely a match for the lightning of the Great Heavenly God Tenman.

If it weren't for replenishing his Power of Will reserves at the Inari Shrine, Shuya would be in a sorry state right now.

While the Heavenly God and Shuya were exchanging blows, a battle began on the ground.

The Heavenly God's subordinates are completely different from those at Inari Shrine; they are always accustomed to fighting.

There are many accounts regarding the subordinates of Great Heavenly God Tenman.

Besides various divine beings and their retinues, there are also 168,000 or 105,000 subordinates, or even millions of fierce spirits or hundreds of millions of spirits.

In short, they are both numerous and powerful.

Legend has it that the minions of Great Heavenly God Tenman could fill Japan, causing celestial and terrestrial changes, and leading to widespread diseases and death.

In reality, the Heavenly God didn't have as many subordinates as the legends claim, but they certainly numbered in the tens of thousands.

Moreover, they were all brave and skilled in battle, and influenced by the Heavenly God, they also had a hidden, extremely violent nature.

Shuya had already seen it out of the corner of his eye.

The once peaceful Kitano Tenmangu Shrine Divine Domain was now filled with shouts and cries as various Heavenly God and their retinues charged out, wielding weapons such as bows, arrows, scabbards, and sickles.

Shuya witnessed the celestial goddess who had just been singing and dancing suddenly put down her instrument, picked up a weapon, her beautiful eyes wide open like an angry Vajra, and charged towards him with murderous intent.

The art style is unique!

But the Monster were no less imposing, roaring as they charged forward.

Seeing that the number of Monster was small, and that the Divine Domain refused to send out too many Heavenly Soldiers, the Heavenly God charged forward with roughly the same number of monsters.

In terms of sheer fighting spirit alone, the Heavenly God lineage completely surpasses the Inari God lineage.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

"You're like Heavenly God! Your Divine Domain is too..."

Shuya couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

Sugawara no Michizane stroked his beard. "You flatter me. After so many years of peace, I've become a bit rusty."

"Alright, enough chatting. Try this trick of mine, drink!"

The Great Heavenly God Tenman glared, and a meteorite, hundreds of meters in diameter and crackling with Thunder God fire, fell from the sky!

Shuya surprised and doubtful, "Are you perhaps the great Magic, Emperor Guang?!"

He looked up at the terrifying attack, but remained calm.

Shuya waved his hand, and a Black Tortoise, half the size of a meteorite, appeared above his head.

The Great Heavenly God Tenman glanced at Black Tortoise with interest. "Two kinds of Divine Power?"

He did not stop attacking while speaking; in addition to the meteors, the lightning never stopped either.

Shuya did the same, constantly retaliating with flames.

The Black Tortoise incarnation lacks intelligence, but it can share Shuya's instincts and handle simple commands.

Shuya ordered Him to deal with the meteorite in the sky, and Black Tortoise stared at the meteorite for a while with his vortex-like eyes.

The meteorite is getting closer.

Suddenly, Black Tortoise moved.

Its serpentine head stretched ever longer toward the meteorite, and then, with its mouth wide open, it swallowed the meteorite whole in a swallowing motion.

"Good!"

Even considering the experiences of the Great Heavenly God Tenman, this scene of Black Tortoise devouring stars is still a rare sight.

But He did not show mercy because of this.

With a thought, Sugawara no Michizane caused the meteorite to explode within Black Tortoise's body, unleashing a raging storm of lightning and fire, powerful enough to slay ordinary gods.

However, Black Tortoise remained motionless, and all the explosions failed to escape its shell, being absorbed internally.

"Sharp."

Sugawara no Michizane impressed.

The meteorite attack just now consumed a lot of energy and was quite a powerful move, yet it was swallowed whole by the opponent.

"My turn!"

Shuya a flap of his wings, Shuuya appeared behind Sugawara no Michizane, his sword flashing as First Snow was drawn!

His body erupted with Demon Power, and his sword First Snow carried unparalleled Divine Power, unleashing a sword light nearly a hundred meters long.

"Ha!"

With a flick of his sleeve and a flash of lightning, Sugawara no Michizane First Snow.

Violent explosions continued to rang out, and Sugawara no Michizane and Shuya had already taken countless blows.

Strands of sword light ripped through the sky, and shadows of swords and figures flashed across the heavens. As they clashed, lightning and flames exploded continuously, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene.

In fact, no one had time to get involved.

The battle between the Monster and the Heavenly God was fierce.

The Monster were even at a disadvantage; the Heavenly Soldiers could be summoned again and again after they died, while the Monster were limited in number.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was having a great time fighting, invincible in battle. Her Heavenly Demonic Qi was so terrifying that even Sugawara no Michizane took a second look at her.

The Aoyama Sisters weren't as sharp as last time; the Shinmeiryu swordsmanship couldn't counter the lightning-wielding Heavenly God type.

Tsuruko and Motoko protect Haruno and Yukino, and the four of them fight together against the enemy.

Haruno's Shikigami have greatly increased in strength, and their attacks are both agile and powerful.

Yukino transformed into her demon form, effortlessly wielding various Strange Arts to create patches of ice around her.

Yukino whispered:

"This is not a good sign."

The enemy attacked wave after wave, and they were not a rabble; they were well-trained, pressing forward with each Heavenly God being and their retinue at the center.

Although the Monster were skilled in battle formations and had a powerful Monster leading them, their combat strength was still inferior to that of their opponents.

That was only because the other party showed mercy.

This is because not all the powerful Monster are here, and the veteran Monster who have been on the battlefield are not helping Shuya.

It's natural that this lineup can't compare to the Heavenly God lineage.

Yukino saw what Shuya was thinking.

With a thought, he sent a notification to the Monster in the Spirit Realm.

A feather rose from the bosom of a great Monster scattered throughout the Spirit Realm. At the same time, Shuya transmitted his voice through the feather. "Attention all sides, the Heavenly God are extremely powerful. You should attack the various Divine Domain now and try to draw their forces away. If you don't have the opportunity to deploy the feather, then forget it."

A moment after the message was sent, Sugawara no Michizane was fighting with Shuya, showed a change in expression.

"My Divine Domain is under attack. Is it your subordinates?"

Shuya's first First Snow clashed with His katana, Sugawara no Michizane asked.

"You guess?"

Shuya smiled but remained silent.

Section 289, Chapter 273: Now you're stronger!

I guess so.

Sugawara no Michizane swung his sword fiercely, and Shuya clashed with his.

He drew lightning with his left hand, and a bolt of lightning struck out, which was countered by a beam of light from Shuya's crimson-gold fire wings.

"Since you've asked me to guess, I guess Inari God was defeated by this very move."

Sugawara no Michizane unleashed a slash, and lightning crackled along the blade.

A flash of light cleaved through the lightning, Shuya attacked several times. Sugawara no Michizane raised his sword to block and pressed forward, engaging Shuya in a fierce counterattack. His swordsmanship was formidable, Shuya could not afford to ignore it.

Shuya asked, "How do you know?"

Sugawara no Michizane's sword flashed fiercely, but his tone remained calm. "You're trying to scheme against me by attacking Main Hall, aren't you? I did that before."

"As expected of one of the three great vengeful spirits, the Heavenly God is ruthless."

Shuya and He chatted as they fought, appearing relaxed on the surface, but their minds were tense.

"They were forced into it."

Sugawara no Michizane sighed helplessly, "People always revere power and see the good as easy targets. I once served the public wholeheartedly, yet I ended up like this. Instead, I rose up in rage, killed gods and murderers, and yet I became a god. How pathetic, how laughable, how lamentable."

Shuya said, "Most people fear power but do not cherish virtue. But if these foolish men and women were gone, how could the nobility of gentlemen and the greatness of sages be revealed? And how could you gods have a chance to rise to power?"

Sugawara no Michizane stepped aside from the First Snow, then swung his sword in a backhand strike, saying to Shuya, "You... you're just as weird as your father."

Shuya asked, puzzled, "How do you know my father?"

Upon hearing this, Sugawara no Michizane's eyes flashed with lightning. He slashed forcefully and roared, "Your father and I have been arguing online for months! His mouth is driving me crazy!"

Shuya was dumbfounded; he never expected the crux of the problem to be here.

He thought Inoue Hikoo had been behaving himself lately, but he never expected to be tricked by him again.

This is absolutely infuriating!

"My dad's yelling at you, why are you arguing with me?!"

Shuya was truly speechless.

Sugawara no Michizane did not answer, but with a casual smile, he unleashed a flurry of sword flashes, the light of the blades striking like lightning.

But Shuya fought with Him for several rounds and had basically adapted to His speed and swordsmanship.

Shuya perfectly parried the blade's light with his First Snow sword. As Sugawara no Michizane sheathed his sword, Shuya flipped his longsword, causing First Snow to tremble rapidly. The blade's light condensed and then exploded into an arc of light, which bloomed like a flower after it dispersed.

Northland New Snow Thousand-Fold Style. Thousand-String Flower!

Sugawara no Michizane's left hand lit up with a ball of lightning, which he used to block and detonate the thin, sharp blade before it could strike him.

A protective shield with cracked tortoise-shell patterns appeared around Shuya, preventing the explosion from harming him in the slightest.

Instead, the blade pierced through the lightning, severing Sugawara no Michizane's left hand, causing streaks of divine blood to gush out, but it was quickly healed.

Ignoring Sugawara no Michizane slashed at them repeatedly.

Shuya slashed out, blocking Sugawara no Michizane's katana.

Shuya and Sugawara no Michizane appeared and disappeared in the air repeatedly, their battle spanning the entire sky of the Divine Domain.

The situation on the ground began to improve. With the invasion of other divine Divine Domain within the Heavenly God System, the Power of Will was being distributed, significantly reducing the combat forces they could summon.

Other Divine Domain are being attacked by powerful Monster such as Tamamo Ren and Yamatano Aoyama, while most of the powerful gods of the Heavenly God system are here.

The Heavenly God are a powerful force on the side of the gods, but all the Monster Japan combined can still overwhelm them.

Moreover, the Monster have just been strengthened, and their combat power has increased significantly.
